CHAP 2
They stepped into an old but clean looking hut. Kaelii glimpsed around at the various objects inside. There were three beds, some pots and other personal belongings of the woman. Sitting on a chair beside the bed was a young man no older than twenty. He had pale green eyes and short reddish- brown hair. It looked as though his hair wasn't brushed that morning, as it was a mess with spikes coming from all directions. The clothes on the other hand were quite the opposite. He wore a yakuta (male kimono) for the occasion. It was of fine navy material. "Uhh, hello Lady Kaelii?" As he spoke he bowed slightly, showing the welcome sign to any village. An unsure smile formed on his face, showing he wasn't used to this sort of thing.
"Koran, you can relax." Tittered the old woman as a sweat drop fell from his forehead. "Phew!" Koran breathed out in relief and shook loose. He then dropped the yakuta revealing his own clothes. They had a modern look to them. Three quarter black jeans with many chains dangling from here and there, his shirt was crimson with the slogan 'BLITZ!' printed onto it. His hands were covered with russet leather gloves without finger slots. A silver chain with a skull hanged from his neck that matched an imprint on the bottom right corner of his pants. His boots were also black and tied tight. He then returned the fierce look to his eyes and ruffled up his hair, crossing his arms.
Kaelii gasped under her breathe, too silent for anyone to hear. The transformation astounded her. It was something she totally wouldn't have expected. She still wondered why they were dressed so formally anyhow.
"Kaelii, I'd like you to meet Koran. After you left the Moonflow, everything was running so slow and silent. Koran was looking for a certain item for his mother when he came by the Moonflow, and the whole place lit up. His mother died before he could return home, so we decided to look after him until he got back onto his feet. His older brother is Gippal, but he was far too busy to look after Koran." Koran stared down at his boots after hearing the word 'mother'. Ever since his mother died, he has been awfully silent around anyone who mentioned the word. Even though at times he felt especially miserable, he always made sure to cover up his feelings so no one would pity him. He hated pity. In fact, he hated all emotions. They show the weaker side of him.
Smiling and bowing her head in greeting, Kaelii sat on the edge of the bed. "Kaelii barely speaks... actually, I can't remember the last time she did. Just saying incase..." The woman paused in the middle of her sentence. "What I'm trying to explain is incase she doesn't reply, you shouldn't take it as an insult." Kaelii responded with a simple nod in thanks towards the woman for explaining. "That's cool." He shrugged and looked over at Kaelii.
The tiny freckles on her nose suddenly seemed to stand out more once he paid close attention to them. The tiny dots looked quite cute against her fairly tanned skin. Kaelii had a slim figure, but still very strong for a female. Her clothes were made of an interesting kind of material. Cool in the hot days and warm for the cold. She wore a lengthy cobalt and lavender skirt where the colours blended into each other, with a matching lilac sleeveless top and gloves.
Around her neck was a silver necklace. It had a square pendant with an amethyst in the center. Engraved around the amethyst were the words, 'Kaelii, Daughter of Hope'. Her mother had given this necklace to her when she was a child. Kaelii wore it ever since her mother spoke the sentence 'Take good care of it, and yourself.' However, the words around the amethyst confused her. 'Daughter of Hope'? What was that supposed to mean? Whenever she asked herself the question, she simply shrugged it off and put the query of the way.
"The reason I asked for both of you to come here today is... I need to ask of Kaelii to find that amulet as soon as possible. The amounts of fiends are endless! And Koran, I know you've been trained well and are very strong. Kaelii would need someone to guard her on her way. Would yo-" The woman was quickly interrupted by Koran. "Madge, if you're asking me to become a guardian, it's cool. I've been wanting some action for a while now." He started punching the air, showing-off to Kaelii. She reacted with rolling her eyes and giggling under her breathes. Madge beamed. "Rest here for as long as you can. Tomorrow the real journey starts."
