"Well that had to be very taxing on the heart for Lieza. Her Mother and that stranger Kyrex are right on her tail. Where will she go? What is she supposed to do now? Harmonia will arrive tomorrow searching for her. That is… unless they already have arrived?" Elle comments as she flips the page quickly.
The Hero of Change Chapter 8: Conquest on Ansendale!
Lieza ran down the back alley quickly trying to get out of the town. As she reached the end of the alley, someone was standing there. The sun was behind the person so she only saw the person's outline. The person was clearly female. Lieza tried to find another route to follow before getting to the person, but there was none. I guess I have to go through her…
As Lieza ran closer to the girl she quickly saw the girl with full detail. The girl was a little bit older then she was with a short lime green skirt with a matching top. She had long hunter green hair with a small red rose nestled above her ear. Over her lime green top she wore an olive colored small jacket. Quickly she pulled a red pole from her back and held it in front of her.
Lieza stopped short of hitting the girl and reached for her sword. Drawing it from the sheath, Lieza went into her basic fighting stance. The girl readied herself keeping quiet. Lieza attacked first striking high, but the girl quickly blocked the attacked and went for a counter swing. Lieza's instincts rose quickly as she jumped into the air and over the girl swinging the blunt side of her sword at the girl's neck. Attempting to knock her out. The girl blocked quickly and looked quietly at Lieza.
"Just who are you?" Lieza asked.
"Rose… Ms. Lieza" she responded.
"Why are you after me? What have I done! What does my mother want?"
"You misunderstand; we are here to assist you. As mercenaries, your mother hired us." Rose explained.
"But… how did she know I was going to escape…" Lieza questioned to herself.
"Don't ask me… now come on we have to go… we've wasted enough time." Rose stated.
"Hmm…" Lieza murmured as she followed Rose thinking.
Rose led Lieza toward the center of town where they waited for Kyrex and her mother. After quite some time the two caught up to them, and the conversation began.
"Well I hope you know what your doing, young lady." Eri stated.
"I'm sure I do… We will leave and head to Durandall, and take a boat to Obel, once in Zexen we will get some help and come back to Falena."
"I understand, Kyrex, Rose, take care of her." Commented Eri.
"Understood"
"Right."
So the three set out of Ansendale, and started their travels for Durandall, traveling along the long forest route to avoid the on coming Harmonians. The three knew all to well that the Harmonians had taken Durandall, but sources indicated that the Harmonians were allowing sea travel to the Island Nations for trading. This was their only shot.
