Crystal was asleep. Me? Miles away.
Just looking at her was enough to send tremors up my spine.
How am I supposed to sleep next to her?When I hugged her today, She collapsed into my arms. I swear that'll be the happiest
memory in my life. She said it herself,your my best friend. We've been best friends all our lives. I mean we've practically lived at each others castles since we were born. She'd never think of us as anything more than friends. Lifting my head, I took a look at the greying sky.Watching the dawn reminded me of my mom, and of how I,ll never see her again. Putting my head in my arms, I started to cry. I would never cry in front of anyone, especially not Crystal.
I jerked my head up when I heard a splash in the lake.
Crystal had gone swimming again. Didn't she learn anything yesterday? She nearly froze in that water. Getting up, I walked over to the lake, and stood watching Crystal. She was just as strong as me , but her muscles didn't show up as much. And while I was I good shape for tackling a creature twice my size,
I didn't have speed and dexterity on my side. That was Crystal's expertise. If you saw her in battle, you'd think it was a dance class with how gracefully she avoids enemy attacks. In Kain's class, we were sparring partners, and she always won. Along with being an excellent swordswoman, she was fast.
Way too fast for me. The only times I've been able to damage her, was when she stopped moving.(which is very rare)
And really cool is the fact that she always beat me without giving me so much as a scratch.
When Crystal got out of the water, we started up the mountains to the north. The path was treacherous, basically because there was no path, and that there were rats and imps around every drop and turn, and that Crystal was losing her footing every few steps..(her boots are great for battling, but they have no traction.)We got up to the summit a little after dark, and set up camp. After telling her to go to bed soon, I hit the sack myself.
But sleep was the last thing on my mind. I had to think of a way to stop being distracted by her.Crystal. I had fallen twice today , when she was walking in front. That butt can be very mesmerizing, until your face hits gravel. I remember something I read in a book once,
She had a steely grip on his mind and soul.
after reading it I laughed but... Crystal's sure got a firm grip on my mind.She's the only thing I can think about.
If only she liked me back... But that's impossible...right?
The next morning, we started walking down the other side of the mountain.Well, maybe walking isn't the right word. More like jumping from ledge to ledge all the way down the side of the mountain. I always went first, so I could catch Crystal.(She's not the best jumper.She always lands on her butt.)
As opposed to getting to the summit in one day, It took almost two days to get to the bottom, and when we did, we were faced with a new problem. Desert. Steamy sand and dry, parched air.
We set up camp, and stayed in the shade of the mountains until dark.
By the light of the moon we continued travelling for three nights, untill, I saw an oasis. Crystal had already succumbed to the heat, so I doubled my pace and carried her. It still took another night, and a lot of my energy, But I did get there, and when I did, I found a town with it. Kaipo.
