Thorim:
Come, my friends...
The sun shone brightly in the cheerful town of Prontera city; birds chirped, people huzzled and buzzled about; creatures roaming about. Pretty much everything was normal. Or is it?
' I can't believe you lost the stupid map!'
' Me?! You lost it!'
' Oh, so you're blaming ME now?!?!'
' Yeah, I am!'
' Oh yeah?! Wanna test who's stronger than the two of us?!?'
' What?!?! What can a puny little mage like YOU do to an agile theif like ME?!!?!'
' Puny?!!?! You dare call me PUNY!?!?! I have NEVER been SOO insulted in my whole life!!!'
' Good for you then! That should make your big head smaller!'
' How thickheaded can you get, Freya?!?! It's YOU who's got the big problem, not me!'
' Uhh! That's it! I've had enough insults from a bigmouthed, bigheaded, map-losser freak mage like you!'
' Freak?? FREAK?!?!!? We'll see who's the freak when you'll be crying for mercy from me in the PVP room!'
' Mercy?? MERCY?!!?!? Look, Thorim, if you think you'll win against me, why don't you just TALK TO THE HAND, ok????'
' How dare you! How can anyone be so confident when fighting against me!?!?!?!'
Author's Note: Ok, so their fight's getting long so I think I should stop now. Besides, I can't think of anymore insults...ehehehe....anyway, moving on...
The blabbering didn't stop until they were panting for breath.
' F-f-reya, I-i th-think w-we shou-ld s-st-stop now...'
' Y-yeah Th-thorim...'
We rested for a while, and when I finally caught my breath, I suddenly felt guilty that I shouted at Freya..
' Hey Freya,'
' Yeah, Thorim?'
' Look, I didn't mean to call you a thickhead...I.. I just wanted to get to our destination faster....To tell you the truth, I lost the map...I'm really sorry Freya...'
I looked at my shoes the whole time I said this. I was afraid of her reaction when I said that so I kept my gaze rested on the floor. I heard her sigh; I shut my eyes, as if waiting for her violent reaction or outrageous outburst, I guess.
My eyes widened when I felt a warm hand on my chin. It lifted up my face, and I came face to face with Freya's face. Her brown eyes were misty but it twinkled, it looks as if she was crying. I looked away again; not only did I make her angry, but I made her cry too.
' Thorim, look at me.'
I reluctantly shifted my face but my gaze was on the floor. I felt her hand touch my cheek; and she moved closer. I was stunned; her warm wet lips pressed against my cheek. I felt my face burn; usually only Tifa or Mama did this to me; but Freya?? No, impossible, it couldn't be, could it? She pulled away and wrapped her arms around my waist and rested her head on my chest. My arms trembled when I slowly encircled them on her waist.
' Ummm....errr....'
' Thank you, Thorim.'
Ok, now I was confused.
' For what?'
She raised her head up to meet my gaze. She smiled at me before resting her head on my chest again.
' You never say sorry to me when we fight, Thorim, not until now. I can see that you've changed, and I'm glad you have.'
I was shocked at first, then I smiled. I rested my chin on top of her head and closed my eyes, keeping her close to me.
We finally arrived at the house of Chrystal. Chrystal is a priestess who is a descendant of Iris Irine. She has a niece and a nephew, which are twins, and are Chios(girl) and Chaos(boy). They were nice people, Mama mentioned, and Chrystal was a friend of Papa's family; Mama's as well. We arrived at her doorstep, were we heard faint mumbling; I knocked on the door and waited for it to open.
' Who is it?'
We were greeted by a VERY beautiful priestess, very beautiful indeed. She had long brown hair, and her emerald eyes twinkled as if they were diamonds. She had the prettiest smile, and she had a nice figure. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw us.
' Thorim!!!! You're so big; I remember seeing you when you were just a teensy little baby. You're so handsome; just like your Papa was! And Freya! You look just like your mother; as beautiful but as cunning as she looked like! My, how fast time passes by!'
We tried to restrain ourselves from bursting into tears again because of the recollection. I nodded a little and gave a small smile while Freya kept silent.
' Well don't just stand there like statues! Come on in!'
She ushered us inside her home; it was very cozy and warm. A/N:Now i'd best not describe the house because I'm not really good at those things... She invited us to sit on the couch and ordered some servants to make some tea. After that, she too sat down.
' So, what brings you here? About your Papa, perhaps?'
I could not hold it back anymore. I rested my forehead on the palm of my hand and hid my eyes from them. My tears were already flowing down; and Freya, who was beside me, obviously noticed it. She gently patted me on the back and whispered an apology to Chrystal.
Chrystal made a small sigh and gently patted my shoulder.
' Look Thorim, I know what happened to your parents. 'Tis very grave news, I may say. Your race has been cut short, but so has mine. Please accept my apologies, for bringing up the topic.'
I wiped my tears away; and thought a while. Where was Chrystal when the battle was occuring?
' Wait a minute! Where were YOU when it occured?' I snapped at her.
She was slightly taken aback and Freya was mumbling apologies again.
Chrystal looked slightly offended and turned away. She stood up and walked towards the window; Freya and I gazed at her every move.
' You know something Thorim? Your mother told me what you felt when your father died in the battle. Your father was a cousin of mine, and I loved him very much.'
Her voice was already cracking, and her face looked as though she wanted to cry. She forced a smile and turned to me.
' I lost my other siblings in battle too, Thorim..I saw you in the battlefield, I was the last priestess standing. I couldn't save your father, and I knew that, sometimes, sacrifices have to be made just for the sake of others..'
I remained silent. I felt guilty that I snapped at her.
' And in your father's case, he died...for your sake.'
tbc...
Hellooo...You'd have to agree with me that this is DEFINITELY better than the last one...anyway, how did you like the new chappie? Now Chrystal's the first one they have to meet...there are others! Oh, and remember the 2nd chappie? I mentioned a priestess had survived; that was Chrystal! If you can't remember, read it again, then. So anyway, I don't know when I can submit the 7th chapter...All I know is that I'll be doing it as soon as possible! So thanks a lot for reading this, feel free to put whatever you want on your reviews! Mwah!
