The Secret Of The Vizjerei

Protecting You My Friend, Or Love?

Shahira woke up with the sun shinning on her face 'What a weird day yesterday' Shahira

thought as she sat up 'Oops...I guess I slept in the nude...oh well no one saw me...i hope

no one saw me...' Shahira thought as she got out of bed and went to the bathroom, she

made sure Slanzar wasn't in there, she quickly cleansed herself and went back to her room

and got dressed, and this time she didn't forget her dagger.

Shahira was just about to leave when Slanzar just burst through the door "Hey c'mon it's

breakfast your going to be late" Slanzar said grabbing Shahira arm and running out of the

room "Hey! You could of knocked!" Shahira yelled as they reached the dining room.

Shahira sat a couple seats away from Slanzar, this was very different from how Shahira

ate. Everyday she would hunt down animals so she could survive, but here there were

servants who actually served her, she thought she would never see this day. Also, she

noticed she was the only female besides that cat-woman who was sitting beside her

"Hello" the cat-woman said very politely "Uh...hi" Shahira said staring at her food "Are

you friends with the king?" the cat-woman asked, Shahira laughed "Friends? That'll be the

day, he's paying me to be his personal body guard" Shahira said taking a sip of her juice

"Body guard? But you are a woman...I thought women did not fight...and besides the king

is a great warrior I don't understand why he needs a body guard, he is always complaining

that he didn't want anyone to protect him" the cat-woman said "No huh? Then I guess I

shouldn't be here, just because I'm not like any of you royals, then I should be treated like

shit? Fine! I'm outta here" Shahira said standing up and leaving. Slanzar noticed her leave

and dropped his fork on his plate and rushed to her side "What is it Shahira?" Slanzar

asked "Don't talk to me!" Shahira yelled running away from him 'Shit!' Slanzar yelled

mentaly and ran after her.

'Sick bastard, he never did want to help me with my quest' Shahira thought as she exited

the castle "Shahira wait! Tell me what happened!" Slanzar yelled as he tried to catch up

with her 'He's still behind me? What's his problem' Shahira thought as she stopped and

reached a dead end 'Damn she's fast' Slanzar thought as he saw her stop. "What

happened? Why did you leave?" Slanzar asked as he tried to catch his breath "You're little

cat friend said you didn't need any help with protection, so what's the point of me being

here, I have a quest to complete, now if you'll excuse me" Shahira said trying to get

passed Slanzar which he wasn't letting her "Listen. I do need your protection, remember

yesterday when that arrow almost killed me? You saved me, I don't know how you knew

that but...ya, how did you know that arrow was coming?" Slanzar asked suspicious "You

would never believe if I told you" Shahira said looking away from him "Tell me, I'll believe

you" Slanzar said "Fine...but do you have to stand right infront of my face?" Shahira said

"Oh, sorry" Slanzar said moving to the side of her, but as soon as he moved out of her

way, she bolted past him running away "Hey!" Slanzar said running after her, again.

He was chasing her for about 5 minutes intil he tripped over a rock making him fly

fowards and knocking Shahira to the ground with him landing on her "Got'cha..." Slanzar

said breathing hard "You, you were just lucky, now get off me!" Shahira yelled pushing

him off of her and sitting up, but then Slanzar grabbed her wrist "I'm not moving out of

your way this time" Slanzar said sitting up as well "Now, tell me, how did you know the

arrow was coming?" Slanzar asked "I don't know, I saw it in my mind, like...my mind

went black and I saw the arrow piercing through your back, then I snapped back into

reality and that's when I 'saved' you" Shahira said not even glancing at him once "Oh...like

a vision" Slanzar said quietly. Slanzar remember when Merle told him that his mother had

visions and that they saved his father's life many times, Merle told him that it was a gift to

see the past, present and future. "A vision?" Shahira asked a bit confused "Ya...my aunt

Merle told me about them, she said that my mother had visions and that her visions saved

my father's life many times" Slanzar said standing up and helping Shahira "I don't need

your help" Shahira said coldly 'Damn what is her problem?' Slanzar thought as he

watched her brush the grass off "I'm leaving today for my quest, I'm leaving with or

without you" Shahira said heading to the stables "Right this minute?" Slanzar said a bit

surprised "Ya, oh and I'm taking one of your horses" Shahira said "What?! Don't you have

your own horse?" Slanzar asked running to her side "Nope" she said very simple "Fine.

But your not taking my horse" Slanzar said as they walked to the stables.

"Wow, aren't you a pretty horse" Shahira said petting a horse "She's new, we don't even

have a name for her yet...and it wouldn't be wise to take her, she's not trained very good"

Slanzar said getting his own horse ready "I don't care I'm taking her" Shahira said getting

her now new horse ready "Fine, but don't complain to me when you fall off" Slanzar said

watching her "How do you know how to get a horse ready? You said you didn't have

one" Slanzar said "I used to have a horse but he died" Shahira said sitting on the horse

"Ok, I'm ready let's go" Shahira said "What?! But we still need supplies like food, water

and shelter" Slanzar said, Shahira laughed right in his face, which hurt Slanzar a bit but

didn't show it "How do you think I've been surviving all of these years? There is plenty of

food out there, you can bring water if you like and blankets too, but I won't be needing

them" Shahira said leaving the stables "Ok, but you must wait for me" Slanzar said

running to the castle to get his supplies.

They were a couple of hours away from Fanelia now, Slanzar told his advisors that he

would be leaving and he didn't know when he would return, his generals and advisors

through a fit, but he didn't really care they could take care of his country for awhile

without him, but Slanzar still wondered how were he and Shahira supposed to find a tiny

little ring in all of Gaea? Oh well he thought they were both great warriors they would find

the ring in no time.

"So, have you been to Asturia yet?" Slanzar asked "Huh? Oh, no not yet I've been to Freid though, they have many temples but I did not find the Lord's Ring there" Shahira said "Well maybe the Lord's Ring is in Asturia" Slanzar said "I wish, but it sounds to easy to be true" Shahira said, Slanzar thought for a moment by what she said, she was right it did sound too easy but who knows maybe they would be lucky. They continued to walk until Slanzar spoke again "You don't talk very much you know that" Slanzar said "So?" Shahira said not even paying attention to him "Don't you wanna talk?" Slanzar asked "Why? I have nothing to discuss with you" Shahira said lazily 'God! This woman is impossible' Slanzar thought "What happened to your parents?" Slanzar asked, Shahira gave him a weird look before she spoke "What do you care about by past?" Shahira said 'I'm going to kill myself before I ever get her to trust me' Slanzar thought before he spoke "I just want to get to know you better, god, you are so difficult woman" Slanzar said not even looking at her, Shahira burst out into laughter which startled Slanzar "What's so funny?" Slanzar asked a bit annoyed "You think I'm difficult? Your not that easy either my friend" Shahira said smiling and looking away from him "Friend? So...I'm your friend now?" Slanzar said with a little hope in his voice "Whatever...I guess I'll call you friend...Only because your the first man who can almost tolerate me" Shahira said smiling "Oh..." was all Slanzar said "Great! We have to cross this stupid thing" Shahira said staring at the little river crossing their path "It can't be that hard" Slanzar said crossing it "See I made it!" Slanzar yelled from the other side "I never did like water" Shahira mumbled to herself, Shahira was almost to the other side, when her horse tripped and she was sent flying into the water hitting her leg against a rock and slicing through her flesh, she screamed in pain as Slanzar jumped off his horse and jumped in the water bringing her back to land.

"Are you alright? Can you walk?" Slanzar asked concerned "Ya, ya I'm fine just get my horse over here" Shahira said looking for her horse "I think it ran away..." Slanzar said looking as well "Son of a bitch!" Shahira yelled sitting up "Aaah!" Shahira screamed in pain again "Your going to have to ride with me on my horse, so we can find shelter" Slanzar said helping her up "I don't need your help! Aaah!" Shahira said falling but Slanzar caught her, she blushed a little but turned her head so Slanzar couldn't see "C'mon just get on" Slanzar said "Fine..." Shahira said quietly as he helped her on his horse then he got on taking the reins "Now hold on, don't want you falling off and getting hurt again" Slanzar said as they walked through the forest trying to find shelter.

They walked for about half and hour until Slanzar noticed some kind of temple sitting on the water. "Hey look, it's like some kind of temple" Slanzar said "Oh ya...well let's go check it out" Shahira said as they entered the temple. "Wow...it's beautiful..." Slanzar whispered as he helped Shahira sit down by some kind of fountain. "Well it looks safe enough to stay for the night" Slanzar said as he looked around more "I wonder what this temple is doing here on the water, I wonder how it stays on the water" Shahira said as she looked at her wound "Well I guess there's some land underneath it" Slanzar said as he sat by Shahira "That's a nasty wound...you gotta take your pants off for me to clean it" Slanzar said calmly "What?! You sick bastard! There is no way in hell I'm I going to take my pants off" Shahira said slapping him "Ow! Hey! I'm not going to look, I have to you don't want it to get infected, and if it does then that mean I would have to cut your leg off before it spreads through your body and kills you" Slanzar said in a serious tone. Shahira thought about it for a moment, she didn't want her leg to be cut off "Fine..." Shahira said quietly "Ok...well? what are you waiting for it's not getting any better with you just sitting there" Slanzar said "Well turn around" Shahira said motioning him to turn around, Slanzar listened and turned around as told, but then Slanzar got up and grabbed a blanket "Here" Slanzar said handing the blanket to Shahira with his eyes closed, Shahira grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around her quickly.

Slanzar started to clean the wound on Shahira's leg, it was then that he realized Shahira was half naked, his eyes moved up from her leg, up to her stomach then of course landing on her chest, he blushed when he realized he was in close contact with her. Now Shahira realized what Slanzar was looking at, she blushed but then got angry and slapped him "Ow! What was that for?" Slanzar said rubbing his cheek "I saw you looking" Shahira said a little flustered "Looking at what?" Slanzar said stupidly "Don't play stupid with me, you were looking at my chest" Shahira said pointing to herself and moving the blanket up higher "I was not!" Slanzar said trying to deny it "Whatever" Shahira said trying to stand up "Wait! I'm not done I have to finsh bandaging your wound, so it isn't exposed to anything" Slanzar said sitting her down, Shahira was about to speak until Slanzar cut her off "And no, I am not going to look at your chest" Slanzar said starting to bandage her wound. Shahira gave up and let him finish.

After Slanzar was done he started to sew up Shahira's pants which were torn when she got hurt "What are you doing to my pants?!" Shahira said crawling over to him "I'm sewing up your pants since they got ripped, I might not be that good at sewing but it's better than nothing" Slanzar said "Why?" Shahira said looking at him "Why what?" Slanzar asked confused "Why are you helping me?" Shahira said quietly, Slanzar blushed a little "You saved my life so in return I will protect you if you need it, and I'm just trying to be nice and help you I know you would do the same for me" Slanzar said not wanting to see her reaction so he kept on sewing Shahira's pants. Shahira was quiet for a moment "Oh..." was all she said as she stared at the fire 'I don't understand why he's so nice to me, I mean I'm always mean to him...I wish I knew what was going through his head' Shahira thought as she glanced at Slanzar "There, it's all done, you can put them back on now" Slanzar said turning around "Thank you" Shahira said quietly as she quickly put her pants on "We better get some rest for tomorrow" Slanzar said handing her another blanket and sitting down "Goodnight" Shahira said and put the blankets over her head.

It was the middle of the night and was it was cold, Shahira was shivering even though she had two blankets, Slanzar heard her chattering her teeth since it was cold, Slanzar couldn't really believe what he was doing, he crawled over to Shahira and layed right beside her putting his arms around her "What are you doing?!" Shahira yelled as she moved away from Slanzar "Your shivering so I came over here to warm you up so you don't get sick" Slanzar said innocently "That's bullshit you pervert!" Shahira yelled and started shivering violently "See! We gotta stay warm to stay alive, you know create body heat to stay warm, that's it nothing else and nothing sick" Slanzar said seriously "Your lucky I'm tired and that my weapons are all the way over there, or else you wouldn't have a head right now" Shahira said laying back down with Slanzar right beside her.
