Chapter 6: Dried Parch Land, Part 2

?'s POV

I looked up to the sky and wondered when we will get relief from this horrid weather. Where have the rain gone? Have the heaven forsaken us? Although the night bring us some relief for the cool night air make us thirst for water more. If we do not acquire more water soon, we will run out of water supply and die of thirst.

"Hey there are two people approaching the village right now."

I looked over to the horizon and noticed two figures heading for our village. What do they want? I hope they are not from hostile village that have come steal our remaining water. We already don't have enough left after the raid last time.

----------------------------------------------------

Darien's POV

We are approaching a village right now. I hope they would let us stay for the night. We walked to the entrance of the village and got surrounded by the villagers with weapons in their hand. Oh Shit.

"We mean no harm. My brother and I only want a place to stay."

Good thing the sword master gave us were magical and could disappear at will or else.

"How do I know if you do not mean no harm?"

"There only two of us for god's sake what harm could we do?"

"Quiet, Ren. I apologize for my brother's outburst. We have been traveling for a long time looking for a place to stay."

Good thing I am by her side or she will be picking fights with everyone and caused so much trouble. Let's just hope they would let us stay here the night so I can get some information on this place.

"I accept your apology. Pardon for greeting you into the village this way. Just two days ago our village have been raided so we are still a bit conscious of it. Let me introduce myself. My name is Demando. The village you are at is Aqua. May I please have your names?"

Aqua. What an ironic name for this dry village. This Demando looks trustworthy but he is eyeing "Ren" weirdly. Does he suspect that he is a she?

"My name is Darien and this here is."

"Ren. My name is Ren and could you please stop staring at me?"

……………………………………….

Serena's POV

Darien made me change into his spare clothes earlier because he thinks that I would be safer traveling as a guy, but he didn't realized that he is that much taller than me. These clothes are too big for me. He doesn't know the pain of having tuck everything in and praying that they won't fall off me. Now that silver hair guy is staring at me like I have three heads. I hate it when people stare at you and say nothing. Argh.

"I apologize for staring at you. It was rude of me. By the way do you need a change of clothing, I believe the clothing you have on right now is a bit oversized for you."

I must look ridiculous. These clothes are so loose. It was nice of him to offer me a change of clothes. Guess he is not that bad after all. I still couldn't believe how composed Darien could be when all the villagers are pointing weapons at us. Good thing they stop pointing weapons at us. Guess this guy have some influence in this village.

"Thank you for your offer."

"Here let me lead you to my house so you can change and rest."

"Thank you for allowing us to stay and once again I apologize for the behavior of my brother. He is not one to think before he acts."

What is he trying to say? Hmph. I so do think before I act for like one second. He looks so cool when he is so composed like that. I wonder when will he remember the friendship we had before. I was really looking forward to meeting him again, but all I got is cool Darien who could not remember me. This village does not look like it is in bad condition at all. The buildings in this village are quite grand. There are a lot of holes and bridges in this village. I guess this village used to have a plentiful amount of water. I love to see this village when this land is return to its former state. We came to a stop in front of the what seems to be the biggest house in the village.

"Here we are. This is my house."

Demando's POV

I led Ren and Darien into my house. They seem to be trustworthy people. I went to get some clothes for Ren to change into. The clothes he have on looks ridiculous on him. I believe they are supposed to be Darien's. Wonder what happened to his clothes.

"Here Ren, change into these clothes. They will probably be more comfortable than the ones you have on. If you don't mind me asking, Why are you wearing your brother's clothing?"

"Um.. Err.. I kind of lost it when we were traveling."

"Yes, Ren is kind of careless. He leaves things everywhere and forgets."

"No, I do not. What are you talking about?"

I watched in amusement as Ren stomped on Darien's foot causing him to cursed. Ren looks cute when he is worked up. Wait…. CUTE! Where did that thought came from? Ren is a GUY not a girl. Do not think weird thoughts now.

"It's getting late. Let me show you to your rooms."

Yes. Yes. Show them to their rooms. Do not think weird thoughts. A good night rest would clear my head.

Darien's POV

Is it me or is Demando looking at "Ren" and blushing? I do not like him looking at her. He better not be having weird thoughts. Wait. Why do I care? I am not supposed to care. I barely know that girl although she claims to have know me for so long. Darien, remember you do not need anyone in your life to complicate things. Argh just to sleep.

"Hey, Darien, before you go to sleep I have to tell you something."

"Master.. I mean Alexander is that you?"

"No. This is not me. It is just you imagining things. Of course it is me. Now listen to me. I put a gourd inside of your bag and should you guys ever need water. There is plenty in there. I enchanted the gourd so there would be an endless supply in there, but only you and Serena could obtain water from it."

"Why didn't you tell us earlier when we were dying of thirst?"

"I forgot. O yeah. Do not let people know about it or else you will probably bring danger upon yourself."

"I am sure I won't tell, but I don't know about Serena. Let's just say she is not the best secret keeper."

"Talking about Serena. How are you both getting along? Enjoying your time ALONE with her?"

"Just what are you suggesting? Would you like to repeat that?"

"Oh Nothing. Just wondering if I have to prepare a wedding for the both of you by the time you get back, Toodles now."

Argh. That master of mines. How dare he suggest something so preposterous. Serena and ME? She IS very beautiful although she is a very careless, blunt, reckless, and hopelessly clueless person. Argh Heart stop thinking weird stuff. You do not need anyone, but yourself.

"You Darien, talking to yourself is considered a disease."

"I thought you were busy."

"I was going to go, but your thoughts are just so entertaining. If you haven't know by now, you have fallen in love with her. Actually you fallen in love with he ten years ago. Your mind does not remember, but your heart does.

"Ah. Shut up."

"Wow this is the first time that you have snapped at me. I congratulate you on expressing your feelings. Okay I will really be off now."

I can't even think to myself peacefully with master eavesdropping on my thoughts. This is an invasion of privacy! Argh.

Alexander's POV

Darien's heart is recalling his love for Serena. The journey have started. The legend have begun. Everything is falling in place. Soon I will be able to get what I want. Soon.

Author's Note: Have anyone figured who is Alexander supposed to be? Hehe. Kudos to those who knows. His identity won't be revealed for a long long time. Muah hahaha You get to find out who is the descendant in this chapter, but I think you guys have already figured it out. Once again please review. ) Reviews makes me update more often. This is the biggest reason on why I am updating. ) BTW I am a short chapter writer. I can't write a long chapter or the chapter would probably end up horrible. But I will attempt to be long this chapter. Just in case I borrow the whole weapon thing disappearing from magic knight rayearth.

I would like to thank bah-bear and ffgirlmoonie for reviewing for each chapter. Really appreciate it. Sniff Sniff makes me feel loved. Bah-bear things will get clear up. ) You will see….

Bah-bear – Was not thinking of maple story when I was writing anything. Yea I think this story could actually be a game 2.

Ffgirlmoonie – this longer chapter is just for you. ) I tried hope you are satisfied.
