past's promise Part 2
"Past's Promise"
by TIMES

Thanks for the reviews and response that I'm getting. Here's the second part of "Navarre Night". Somebody asked why Lise's country is called Amethya. I wanted to create a different land from the rest of the real one since my story will take a very different path from the game. It's not related to the game (but some of it are). The only thing you have to know, in case you haven't played the game is the knowledge of the characters. So keep in mind that, in this story they never fought to save the Mana. The Mana is not in danger anyways. Good question!

Happy Reading!

Lise touch the pane of the glass as she stared at the kingdom of Navarre in front of her. She tapped and tapped again while keeping her eyes over the view below. A knock came from the door; Lise didn't turn away from the view as if her thought is farther than the view, maybe out of this world.
"Welcome." A friendly and cheerful voice stated. Hawk brush another strands of hairs away from his view. He wanted to see her, he's very glad to and even if he loves his hair…he loves to see her, so hair comes next.
"Busy?" Lise can't help but smile at him. 'Hmmm…its been what? Six years since we last met?'
"Not for you." He gave out on of his charming smiles to impress her. She nodded and smirks at how he kept teasing her.
"What has been happening to you lately?" Hawk moved closer to her as Lise turned back to the view. She's been starring at it for a long time. A lot has changed and facing him might not be the same as they were when they're kids.
"I'm…doing fine. You?"
"Same. Father's gone visiting my cousins so I'm left here in charge. He'll be happy to see you! Have a seat." He pulled the chair on the table nearby and escorted her. He sat on the other seat opposite to her. Keen eyes watched Lise as she sat down. Hawk, being 17 years old already, can't help notice her body first of all. 'She certainly changed a lot! I didn't notice her the first time I saw her except for her blonde locks.' He surveyed her even more. His eyes slowly keep tracking of how she's looking now. Her long, slender legs came in a cross with the other. Hawk was able to see the whiteness and its delicacy.
"Ahem!" Lise let out an obvious cough to keep his attention away from something he's interested. Hawk looked back at her with a flushed face and tried to say something...but he can't! 'Man, what did I just did?'
"Uhmm...so what is it that you want to talk about?" Hawk gained his composure back and tries to act cool.
"I think you've heard already, my castle was captured by this knight from Forcena." she looked intently, straight in his eyes.
"I heard just about today."
She nodded. "I'm here to ask help." Hawk raised a brow. He never expected her to be in trouble since they were kids. And if she is, she would never ask for any help. She's this independent and fighting woman kinda.
"What happened?"
"My sister..." he choked at her words.
"You have a sister?!! I don't even know about that!"
"Yes. Well, I just met her like a couple of years ago. I didn't even know I have a sister...and she's in trouble right now." Her eyes. Deep blue eyes showing plead. 'I can't resist her.' Hawk closed his eyes for a moment making sure he'll remember her eyes more than anything else. He didn't went into the details of how she got a sister...hmmm...wait a minute.
"What's her name?"
"Angela, the princess of Altena."
"But...how?"
"She's older than me by 4 years, turns out that my father was married her mother first. But Queen of Altena died." she paused for a second. "My father then met my mother, the princess of Rolante and I was born. Then..." she bit her lip in a tense kind of way. "My mother died and, my brother, Elliot became the crowned Prince and would be the king."
"Wait a minute, why didn't they crowned you?" Hawk drew his body closer to her.
She paused.
"They asked me, but all that I really wanted was to train and rule the amazoness. Elliot will be a great ruler. I know."
He just looked at her amazed at how she could trade a life of royalty for a mere fighter. But of course, she's different. Very different.
"The Knight capture the castle of Amethya about a week ago. He fell in love with Angela. Angela..." she sighed with exasperation. "...is playing hard to get and now my castle...or our castle is captured and I can't really do anything about him."
"Interesting."
Lise waited for his reply. "And so I'm here to ask for your help. Your the only one I can ask since that knight wanted to par with the best guy around." She gave him these puppy looks that are really cute.
"Good choice Lise! Ok. I'm in. You got me."
She smiled at him sweetly. Now, memories started coming back. "I want to meet this knight."
"Thanks, Hawk. But...you know this will be dangerous..."
"I know..." he smiled again as soft strands of his hair started falling back in his face. He didn't mind, it might add to his gorgeousness. He stood up and moved right in front of Lise. He gather her right hand in his.
"Haw...k?"
Since they were kids, he was the boldest into doing all kinds of stuff. And now he's doing it again. His lips parted slowly as his eyes came into a close. He heard Lise's breathe in heavily. But he kissed her hand gently...at first, then becoming a little rough and declining again. His kiss made a sound that held her in doubt. He opened his eyes to see her red face.
"I'll do it. Not for Angela, but for you."
