PART 6-The Departure
"I need to leave, I want to do more than fight. That's your life, this is mine," Aliya said one day when the two of them were sixteen.
"But-," Kylaia began, only her voice showed her emotions. Aliya led Kylaia out the door to a weaponry class. They practiced sword, knife, and dagger before going to dinner. Kylaia left Aliya to go to the library. She took an advanced glaive practice book out, and then went to her, and Aliya's room. She placed her book on her bed, and searched in her suitcase for something. Finding what she wanted, she put it on Aliya's bed, and walked to dinner.
"What took you so long?" Aliya asked.
"I wanted to get a advanced glaive book," answered Kylaia. She ate quickly, too quickly thought the Wildcat, and went to practice. When she came back to her room, Aliya was staring at her bed.
"You gave me this?" Aliya held up a silver dagger, with a sheath engraved with panther.
"Yes." Kylaia picked up a small piece of parchment under the dagger.
"May be luck be with you," Aliya read, as she squinted at the Kylaia's miniscule writing. Aliya hugged her, and she stood there. Then her Yamani mask dropped. She cried and laughed at the same time. Aliya was leaving, but she was so happy with her present. Her hair came down, and it fell down her back. Her hair hung in sheets of shiny midnight black. For five minutes Kylaia was like every other girl, her walls around her crumbled, for those five minutes she showed every emotion she possessed. Aliya picked up a pair of kid gloves, with almost done embroidery of a panther. "I have to embroider my symbol on a pair of gloves before I can leave. Shang custom." She bent her head over the gloves, and began to embroider. Kylaia took a moment to rebuild her walls, and walked out her open door, forgetting to shut it earlier. Kylaia didn't realize that Liam had saw her without her walls covering her, thinking that she almost glowed without her, "shield." So he followed her the empty classroom she was residing in at the moment. He paused as watched her swing her glaive, and cut.
"What? Will you leave me with my misery?" Kylaia said angrily. Liam was shocked that she even ignolaged she had feelings, and his face said so. "Now, am I a animal? You looking at me like I'm one."
"I-I-I-I'm sorry," Liam stuttered.
"Liam, what are you talking to her for?" Gareth Weldon said as he walked in the room.
"I was interested in glaive fighting," Liam said quickly, obviously lying.
Kylaia left the room, ignoring Liam and Gareth's argument. When she returned to her room, Aliya stood up.
"I finished, I can leave tomorrow!" Aliya exclaimed.
"That wonderful, I guess," Kylaia said gloomily. Aliya held up her gloves, and ran to tell the Wildcat. Kylaia sat on her bed, her face stony. The next day, Kylaia helped Aliya pack during lunch, and watched her walk out the door. Then, after thought, she ran out the door, caught her, and hugged her. Aliya hugged her back, and slipped a piece of parchment, and a very small book in her hand. Kylaia watched Aliya disappear from sight. She then read the parchment.
"Good luck to you too. The world is nice, you are in the Shang, remember that, be happy," read Kylaia. The book was titled, The History of the Order of Shang. Kylaia smiled.
4TH NOTE: This sounds really corny
