"You know guys. It's wonderful when we can walk in silence. It makes it a whole lot more enjoyable." Rouge said while focusing on the sound of the wind blowing through the damp dark forest.
"Yeah whatever. All I want to do is get this over with." Nobeman proclaimed walking a few feet behind Rouge and Fril. "I need the money. My skills are getting old, and the only way to gain more is to get that book from the priestess. You wouldn't believe what kind of price she put on that thing. My guess it, it has many great powers in it that I'll finally get my hands on to."
"You don't need any powers. Your pestering is enough to make any monster leave." Fril phrased looking back at Nobeman walking behind her. "Anyways, I wouldn't be surprised that the only reason why the priestess is giving such a high price on that book is because it's probably a family treasure."
"Um... what is this book your talking about?" Rouge asked in bewilderment looking at Fril for the answer.
"You know. The book that was inside the priestess's chest. That black one with the silver lining. The one she wouldn't even let Nobeman touch." Fril explained.
"I'll get my hands on it no matter what!" Nobeman yelled out as if someone was listening from far off.
Rouge thought to himself about what book they were talking about and then realized they were talking about 'The Book of Oma Ra" which has been protected by the priestesses' family for over 1000 years. "I don't think it would be a wise thing for you to look into that book Nobs. You might not like what you see." Rouge said remembering the images of a not so long ago past.
"Don't fricken call me Nobs! I hate that. It makes me sound like a newbie, and you know for a darn fact I am no newbie. I've been a master Necromancer for ever 20 years." Nobeman argued to Rouge's back.
"And you know for a fact I don't really care." Fril said sassily.
"I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Rouge. Rouge and I have a longer history than you and him." Nobeman replied.
"What do you mean a longer history!? I've been traveling with Rouge here for ever a year now. How could you have a longer history when you met him just last month?" She asked in confusion.
Rolling his eyes Nobeman replies. "I didn't just meet Rouge last month. I met him 4 yea..." Nobeman suddenly stopped talking as he felt Rouge's eyes burning into his. Nobeman slowly lowered his head and quickly picked up the conversation again. "Lets just say me and him met awhile ago."
"Come on! That's not fair... Rouge! Come on tell me when you guys met." Fril said while punching Rouge in the shoulder playfully.
"We met a couple years ago in bad circumstances. That's all I'm going to say, and I promise you. Nobeman will say no more." Rouge said as he gave a glare back at Nobeman who has just lifted his head again.
"It's not my place to say more about that time." Nobeman stated as he lowered his head yet again like a servant.
Fril instantly knew something happened the first time Nobeman and Rouge met. "Your kidding me right? You aren't going to tell me what happened when you two first met? You can't keep me out of the loop for long. I'll find someone way get it out of you or someone else who might know." Fril stated turning her head away from both of them while sticking her nose into the air in stubbornness.
"Lets not talk about this anymore. We have one thing to worry about right now. This witch. She's been killing anyone who enters her territory. It just so happens to be in the complete center of the path to Lut Gholein. So that means all those Rogue warriors that are just joining the cause in all the Rogue Encampments in the area end up heading this way and not knowing the danger they are walking into, and this land has seen to many dead young people. That's all we have to worry about right now. Taking care of this witch. The rumors say that her minions show up the second we enter her territory. So that's what we are waiting for. We walk straight into the Dark Woods and we get attacked. Enough of them and they will lead us straight to the witch." Rouge explained to Fril as she continued to stick her nose in the air.
"I know why we're here, but that doesn't tell me why you won't tell me about what happened in your past. You never tell me anything except for when you were a kid. How your family always went away while leaving you in the city to learn from your dads old apprentice. Is it so horrific that you wouldn't want a young girl like me knowing about?" Fril asked stepping in front of Rouge and walking backwards as she smiles brightly into his face.
"Yes."
All Fril could do was stop and stand there as Rouge and Nobeman walked past. She knew Rouge knew she could handle almost any kind of horrific thing out there, and yet he wouldn't even hint to what happened in his past. She vowed to herself that she would find out what happened to Rouge in the past and why everyone knows him already. Turning around she ran back up to Rouge and walked beside him silently, ever so often taking a glance at him to see if he was in deep thought, but every time she looked she was met with blazing green eyes that had only one goal in them. With a heart pounding jolt she noticed she could not take her eyes off of his. She kept gazing into his eyes. She suddenly felt all warm inside as she gazed into his never ending green eyes as they walked along in the dark woods. As she studied his eyes she noticed they almost glowed green in the darkness. She had never looked at them this deeply, and the only feeling she felt was total and complete warmth and comfort. She felt as if she was inside some kind of field where she knew nothing could hurt her. She just continuously gazed into his eyes. Just as she thought she saw his eye sparkle lightly she suddenly was stopped in her tracks by a hard object.
"Owww!" Fril yelled out in pain.
"Yeah whatever. All I want to do is get this over with." Nobeman proclaimed walking a few feet behind Rouge and Fril. "I need the money. My skills are getting old, and the only way to gain more is to get that book from the priestess. You wouldn't believe what kind of price she put on that thing.
