"Because I..............."

________________________________________________________________

"Because I'm going to fight my last fight, and will not be coming back,"he said drinking his drink.

She looked at him questionably.

Amarant went over to the kitchen, and helped himself to something to eat. He made himself a sandwich and went into the dining room. Once he went through the door, he immediatly walked out, and back into the kitchen.

"Amarant is so mean," the little girl Eiko yelled.

Amarant decided; since it was nighttime he decided to go eat outside since no one would bother him. He walked into the courtyard, and sat on the fountain ledge where Freya, and him were before.

When he sat down he looked into the fountain to see that his, and Freya's coins were still there. 'Wishes don't come true,' Amarant thought to himself.

He started to eat his food.

Three days later Amrant found himself back in Treno stalking down a bounty head. He found his target, and in no time was recieving his reward. Not like he already had a lot of money.

As he was walked down through the alleys he curiously began to wonder where Freya was.

"FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT," said a cheering crowd as they were obviously watching a fight. Curiously Amarant walked over to see Freya was in the middle...and...drunk!!!??? He walked over to the middle, and yelled,"What the hell are you doing."

"Fight me," she said raising her pike.

"I'm not going to fight a fool like you when your drunk,"he said beginning to walk away.

"I"m not drunk,"she said.

Smirking to himself he walked over to her and lightly poked her shoulder. She fell down laughing.

He began to walk away..when he heard Freya begin to throw up.

'What a fool,' Amarant thought walking back over to Freya. He picked her, and threw her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. She passed out moment later.

~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~

"Amarant what happened," questioned Garnet as they walked into the livingroom.

"Shes being a fool thats what," he said taking a seat on the couch, crossing his arms, and closing his eyes.

"Is might be because of Fratley,"Garnet said sitting next to him.

With his eyes still shut he moved his head to let her know he acknowledge her.

"He was killed yesterday in a cave just outside of Treno," she said suddenly finding some interest in how big Amarant's hands were.

"So she got drunk off her ass," he said opening his eyes to see her staring at his hands.

He put his hands behind his head.

Unknownly Freya woke up but kept quiet....

Eiko walked into the room, and sat next to Garnet. "I'm going to go see Vivi in Burmucia Garnet," she said.
"Send us a letter, adn tell me how hes doing, ok."

"Yup." She looked over to Amarant. She stood up, and walked over to him, and gave him a hug.

It took what all Amarant had not to throw her across the room. Garnet saw it so she said,"Eiko why don't you get some rest before you go?"

"Ok," she yawned walking over to Garnet. She gave her a hug then went over to Freya. "I know your not sleeping."

That was it, as Freya bursted out laughing.

"Lady Freya what is so funny," Garnet questioned.

"The look on Amarant's face was priceless," she said.

Garnet went bed, so that left Freya, and Amarant.

"Will you fight me," she questioned looking at him.

"You were drunk when you asked me. I guess you still are, because if you fought me you'd lose," he said with a smirk.

"I was serious before, and I still am," she said.

Pfffffhh, he said then he answered with a................................
