Chapter 10: Silvergrove and Katolis

* One Week Later *

Callum was walking along a path with Rayla next to him still wearing his shirt. Callum saw Lilly the blood wolf ahead with Zym on him. Callum looked at Rayla and just smiled when he saw Rayla look at him and heard " What?" Callum walked up to her and just said " You look good in red." Callum then leaned in and kissed her. Callum smiled, pulling back, then he heard a bark so he looked at Lilly and said " What." Callum heard the wolf bark again so he pecked Rayla on the lips and said to Lilly " I can do that now stop complaining." Callum saw Lilly just turn her head which just made Callum chuckle. Callum kissed Rayla one more time and he smiled and pulled his face back before he continued walking.

Callum walked for only five more minutes when he saw a building in the distance. Callum grabbed his bow out of reaction when he heard " Callum." Callum looked at Rayla and heard " We don't need to visit if you're nervous I understand why." Callum smiled then said " No, I am just nervous if I have to fight your friends." Callum then looked forward as more houses came into view when he felt someone grab his hand so he looked at Rayla and heard " Callum no one will touch you and I should know, I am one of the best." Callum chuckled then said " I know."


Ezran was sitting on the throne in Katolis thinking. Ezran has made a rule that he gets at least an hour to do anything he wants. Ezran sighed as he wanted to just mess around but he just had thoughts. Ezran thinks of how the Queen of Ducen isn't going to war as they have nothing happen to them with Moonshadow elves but the other three kingdoms are. Ezran was distracted by hearing the throne room doors open so he looked at them and smiled seeing Soren enter. Ezran's smile disappears as for the past ten days he learned to read people fast and he saw something wrong that Soren knows. Ezran saw Soren stop and heard " Ezran the knights found out from what you said to the kingdoms and they are pist." Ezran sighed then heard " And they are demanding for Viren to be released and take the throne." Ezran looked at Soren then said " I don't care what the knights say Viren isn't being released." The ten year old king leaned back and said " How did my father do this?" Ezran wasn't expecting an answer but heard " Friends." Ezran looked and smiled seeing Corvus and heard " I never became friends with your father but I respected him and he came to me, your aunt and Viren for help if he couldn't decide." Ezran smiled then said " Ok then well what are your guys thoughts." Ezran chuckled seeing Corvus and Soren frown.


Callum walked into Silvergrove with Rayla and Zym. Callum thought it was a good idea for Lilly to stay back and she did. Callum looked at people confused why they had no face when he heard " No." Callum looked at Rayla confused then heard " I was banished, I'm a ghost." Callum walked over to Rayla and just hugged her instantly and said " I am truly sorry." Callum pulled back and frowned seeing tears down her face when he heard " I can still show you around." Callum chuckled and whipped away Rayla's tears then said " I would like that." Callum then kissed Rayla then pulled back and smiled. Callum didn't let go of Rayla's hand and then walked with her.

Callum could tell Rayla was holding back tears as they went through Silvergrove. Callum entered a house and looked at a male Moonshadow Elf holding a sword when he heard " This is Ethari, someone I care for a lot." Callum nodded as he felt Rayla's grip around his hand tighten so he said " I bet he cares for you no matter what." Callum looked at Rayla seeing her smile sadly so he looked at Ethari seeing him hold up a sword and he hugged Rayla instantly seeing his own reflection knowing Ethari saw him and Rayla. Callum smiled then whispered into Rick's ear " I think we should leave." Callum felt Rayla nod so he looked down at her and just smiled as she looked up then he kissed her and said pulling away " Thank you for showing me around." Callum then saw Rayla walk off and after that he looked at Ethari's reflection and just walked away not seeing the tear fall from Ethari's face.

Callum walked to Lilly seeing Rayla there and he just smiled sadly then he walked up to her and put a hand on her cheek. Callum saw tears down her face so he kissed her again and when he pulled back he whipped the tear away and said " Rayla?" Callum saw Rayla smile sadly and whip her own tears away then heard " I will be fine." Callum smiled sadly but just nodded then put Zym onto the wolf and continued walking.

* One Hour Later *

Callum went into his quiver on his back and pulled out the needle like object he got off the spider. Callum looked at the needle seeing his hand was wrapped around it perfectly. Callum looked at the needle when he looked at Rayla hearing " Wait, that is from the spider?" Callum nodded then heard " That was something the Moonshadow Elves use to use if we could kill spiders like that we made are best weapons as they are strong and fucking sharp can go through almost any armor." Callum nodded, then said " Great." Callum got a huge smile as he looked at it when he looked at Rayla hearing her chuckle then heard " So you are getting ideas." Callum looked at Rayla and smiled then said " Yes of course now a new arrow head sounds fun." Callum saw Rayla chuckle then heard " why not." Callum chuckled then said " Yea."

* Later That Night *

Callum was sitting in front of the fire looking at Lilly when he looked to his side at Rayla and just smiled. Callum saw Rayla look at him and he just smiled so he got closer and kissed her then he pulled back then he saw Rayla whip her tears so he grabbed her hand stopping her then said pulling her hand back " Rayla stop hiding your tears. I am not going to judge you for being sad." Callum felt her jurk her hand away and heard " I know." Callum sighed as Rayla looked away so he said " Rayla." Callum saw Rayla whip her tears as she looked away and saw her face the fire and heard " I am fine Callum." Callum sighed then he looked up.

Rayla looked at the fire, annoyed Callum when she heard " Rayla I care for you a lot and I can't let you beat yourself up but Rayla if you truly trust me then you can talk to me about this." Rayla just looked at the fire feeling tears down her face when she saw in her peripheral vision Callum get up she turned and grabbed his wrist. Rayla looked at Callum as he looked behind himself then said " Callum I…" Rayla stopped talking, not able to speak but she saw Callum sit down so she leaned against him and said " When I was four or five my parents left me to be Dragoon Guards and they protected the egg." Rayla sighed tears falling from her face and said " I lived with Ruaan and Ethari and I wanted to be an assassin which Runaan was. He just joined but he was a prodigy and I asked him to train me early. He did and part of being an assassin is having no emotion."

Rayla looked at Callum, tears down her face when she closed her eyes, feeling him kiss her. Rayla opened her eyes then looked back at the fire and said " I never killed as my emotion won't let me but beside that my emotions don't affect me. I don't let myself feel my emotions and I have let myself feel emotions but a small amount of it." Rayla tightened her grip on Callum's arm then said " When you kissed me my emotions flooded me and I tried to shut them…" Rayla stopped talking when she felt a hand on her cheek so she looked up at Callum seeing him smile then heard as his face got closer " Rayla that is all I needed to know." Rayla chuckled when she felt Naruto whip her tears away then she felt lips touched hers. Rayla smiled as the simple kiss turned into a make out session.


* One Week Later *

Ezran was sitting in the throne room of Katolis thinking. Ezran looked at the throne room door as it opened to see Soren walk in with Corvus. Ezran smiled when he heard " Ezran we have a problem." Ezran nodded and then heard " The knights are angry about your decision to not go to war with Xadia." Ezran nodded then heard " And so they decided…" Ezran looked forward at the throne room door as it opened Corvus being interrupted then heard " To release the true king of Katolis."

Ezran saw Viren wearing his normal outfit but right eye looks like it was cracked like glass. Ezran could also see a small creature on Viren's ear but he moved his gaze to Claudia hearing " You brat." Ezran glared at Claudia and stood up then yelled " You are fucking lucky your not dead for trying to kill me." Ezran glared at Claudia then he looked at Viren and said " If you ever Respected the throne you would stand down and we could talk about you maybe being freed." Ezran saw Viren chuckle then laugh and heard " You fucking joking right? I respected your father Ezran but you're not your father more like far from it." Ezran grew angry but he saw Soren step in front of him and heard " You're not going to hurt him dad." Ezran smiled then he looked at Corvus seeing him stand next to Soren so he ran to the throne and went behind it and grabbed something from under it. Ezran looked at what was in his hand seeing a smoke bomb then he looked at the window seeing it was dark so he looked at the light torch.

Ezran threw the bomb and yelled as it landed in the torch " Soren, Corvus follow me." Ezran then ran to the wall behind the throne as the bomb went off covering the room in smoke. Ezran pushed on the wall and saw it turn. Ezran smiled then ran through it with Soren and Corvus behind him. Ezran saw the wall go straight at him standing in an old hall so he looked at Soren and Corvus then said " I found this and used it to get into the throne room. Truth that is how I am with the kingdom as I heard my father argue and yell at people." Ezran just saw Soren nod but he just looked down the hall and said " Let's Go."

* Two Weeks Later *

Ezran was walking through the forest in his clothes and crown. Ezran stopped exhausted as he hasn't eaten in three days. Ezran looked at Soren and Corvus seeing them hungry. After just a few days everyone in the kingdom knows of Ezran's protection of Xadia and practically no one will help them or take their money. Ezran got annoyed as he bent over and pucked. Ezran looked up surprised to see a Moon Phoenix. Ezran walked over to the Moon Phoenix and petted it when he looked up hearing " I have been expecting you."

Ezran's eyes widened seeing Lujanne standing there. Ezran ran to one of his friends and hugged her. Ezran pulled back as Soren and Corvus came to them when he saw her hold out bread so he took it then took a bite as Lujanne gave the other's bread. Ezran smiled, then looked at the elf and said " I need your help."
