Her Story
By: Hyper Mage

Well, by popular demand (lol) I'm continuing this story

Melody was 10 again, when her granfather and she used to play solider.

"Report Cadet" He would say, Melody straitened out and saluted.

"Sir! Things are going well. At first I practiced with the commander sir, but she has gotten too busy, so now I practice with the commander of defense. I am proud to say that soon I will train with the regular men."

"At ease. Well done solider, what of friends, any?" Melody's grandpa looked deep into her eyes.

"I'm afraid I'm lacking in that department. I used to think that the commander was a friend, but I'm afraid that was just intrest in another fighter."

"An what of this commander of defense? It's hard to find you not at his side, either training or relaxing," Melody blushed.

"Again, I do not consider him a friend, more like a collegue in training," Melody's Grandpa smiled.

"Well, If you ever change your mind, let me say that he is smitten by you. Hopefully you can see that someday, that his intrest in you is that of a good friend., Well, I must go, the black god will only give me so much time," Melody's Grandpa slowly disappeared. Melody woke up from her dream. She always did like to think she really did talk to her grandpa in her dreams, but somethings he said were simply imposible.

"The commanders intrest are those of warrior to warrior, nothing more," but even though she said this to herself, she couldn't help thinking how nice his smile was, and how red his hair got in the noonday sun. Or how his laughter was so joyful that she had to smile. Melody got up from her bed and made it. She ate breakfast in the hall and went to help some of the weaker woman with their tasks. Then came her favorite time of day, practice with Merric.

"Block higher Melody, Aim lower, Swing harder," On went the comments, and even though it took a while for Melody to register them all, Merric was so used to giving out commands that he didn't notice his mouth move at all. They took a short brake.

"So Mel, what do you think of your practice. Do you think you're getting better?" Merric asked her, giving her one of his side glances.

"Of course sir, if a great noble like you is teaching me, and the commander too, then I must be one of the best," Merric smriked.

"Well, If you think I'm a great noble then it must be true, even though I do not believe it myself

"Oh but you are sire, I don't think that any other noble would even get near me," She said honestly.

"Mel, You think too highly of nobles. I always thought that all commoners just wanted to get a piece of the power any noble has, now I know that not everyone has the same view in life, Melody looked at Merric, the look in his eyes were that of some body talking the truth.

"Sir?" Melody asked quizidly, she really wasn't getting what he was saying.

"What I'm trying to say is, I thought you were just trying to get power and money, but I see you're diffrent, I owe you an apology," Merric was blushing, his cheeks flaming red *what am I doing?* he asked himself * I AM NOT falling for a commoner*

"Um, sir, I've got to go, help, yea, help give out food to the other people bye," She got up and walked quickly away, leaving Meric alone on the hill. *I blew it, I blew my chance at happiness, way to go Melody* melody nagged herself as she left merric.
