Chapter Eight:

When I was still gaping at one of the most wonderful things I had ever seen, Kered was pulling my arm and dragging me down the hill that we were standing on overlooking the city. He was so happy and excited to show all around Malon.

We finally reached the city, and Kered seemed so happy. He wore one of the biggest smiles on his face at that moment.

The city was much different from when I saw on the hill………………………… it was much much much busier. Merchants were everywhere; in the streets, in the shops, anywhere they could be they were. Selling anything you could possibly imagine; dresses, swords, food, shoes, beauty products, anything. They would just stop people in the middle of the street and try to sell them something.

Kered and I went to a few shops to get some things that we needed; food, more arrows for Kered because he lost all of his, and many more things. After that we walked around looking in several shops and browsing around until I found a dress shop.

Of course I walked in and Kered didn't seem too up for looking at dresses with and said, "Uh, Ren I have a few other things that I need to find. So maybe I will just meet you in the town square by the fountain later?"

I smiled and laughed silently to myself and said, "Yes I will see you later then by the fountain. Bye," I said waving to him as he was starting to walk off.

"Bye Ren. I will meet you later then," Kered replied to me waving back.

I stood there for a moment just watching Kered walk away. There is just something about him. He—never mind. I walked into the shop. The dresses there were so beautiful. Of different colors and designs. I found a few that I liked so I started to walk to the dressing rooms when I ran into a lady.

"Oh my goodness! I am so sorry. I didn't see you walking there and I---I am just really really sorry," I told this lady who the whole time was just adjusting her glasses back to sitting slightly on her nose.

The lady finally looked up at the person who had been talking to her gasped and said, "Oh my goodness, my dear. You look as if you hadn't had a bath in weeks," she said to me. Oh you have no idea. I thought to myself. Then she continued, "You know what I need to wash you up. I cannot have someone walk out of my shop looking like that," she said then throwing her hands up as she assured to me, "but no offense or anything."

I let out a sigh then said, "None taken. You see, I had been lost in the forest for a couple of weeks and I finally just got out so then I came here so I could get a new dress and well, you get the picture right?"

"Oh of course my dear. I'll wash you up right away. You poor thing, probably haven't had a bath in weeks," the lady said motioning me to follow her.

"Thank you so much um------- I'm sorry I didn't catch your name."

"It's Eve, and your name?"

"Oh yes, I am Ren, I really cannot tell you how much I appreciate this Eve."

I followed Eve into another room that had a bath, a vanity, and anything else you could possibly need. I took a hot bath and washed my hair. I loved that bath so much I never wanted to get out. I loved all of the bubbles and it just felt so good.

When I was done taking my bath I got out and Eve helped me pick out a dress. In the end, she was rally the one who picked it out because all of the ones that I picked out weren't "form flattering" according to Eve.

The dress was a beautiful shimmery lilac color. It had long sleeves, a v-neck, and had no back. There were white and light blue flowers that were embroidered flowing down the right side of the top of my dress to the bottom. The arms of the dress slightly flowed out at the bottom of the sleeves with the same embroidering as the rest of the dress.

"Oh Ren it looks beautiful! It really brings out those great big beautiful brown eyes of yours," Eve exclaimed as I walked out of the dressing room, "Now what are we going to do with your hair?"

I really never thought that my hair would have been so------------well tamed, pretty, use whatever word you please. Eve was truly an angel. She had my hair in ringlets and let it rest on my shoulders framing my face beautifully.

I paid Eve for the dress and she quickly said to me, "I hope you really impress that gentleman you were with before."

I almost collapsed to the floor. Impress? Gentleman? Where did she get that from? Oh no she thinks that I either want to impress or that I am a couple with Kered. I quickly responded to that, "Oh no Eve, you see that man I was with led me through the forest, and I am not trying to impress him. I assure you."

Eve just nodded in disbelief and with a sly smile said, "Well even if you aren't trying to impress him, knock him dead anyways," she said to me as I walked out.

Walking down to the town square was quite awkward for me. A lot of men were staring at me as if they had never seen a woman before. They just stood there gawking at me as I walked along the brick street.

Kered stood by the fountain waiting for Ren to meet him there. Then in a distance he started to see a beautiful lady in a lilac colored dress. Wow she is so pretty. Maybe I should go talk to her. She is coming over here. Did she just wave? Whoa! That isn't just some person that's Ren! Wow! She is so beautiful. He just stood there, as he had to pull his jaw off of the ground.

When Ren saw Kered he was now wearing black leather pants with brown boots and a loose white shirt for a top. And he was still wearing that precious medal of his.

When Ren got over to Kered he was the first to greet, "Hello Ren." Wow. "You look," gorgeous, beautiful, exquisite, charming, pretty, magnificent, grand, marvelous, fantastic, excellent, ravishing, stunning, splendid, lovely, wonderful, pulchritudinous, superb, classy, glamorous, breath-taking, and brilliant. Kered looked back at Ren who was waiting for a reply and said, "You look-------um you look good."

I look good? That is all you can say? You thought I was more beautiful back in the forest. Good? Huh, men. I looked back put on a fake smile and said, "Oh thank you. You look good too," I said with sarcasm.

Kered looked back at Ren noticing that there was an awkward silence and said, "So do you want me to show you around the city? There is a lot of wonderful things to see."

"Sure," I replied to him.

Kered offered his arm to me and I took it. We strolled around the city and Kered gave me a tour, having a story for practically everything he showed me. When we got to a food market we walked around and Kered would introduce to some of the people that he knew.

When we were making our way out of the market I slipped on some spilt water, but like before Kered had caught me. Except this time it didn't feel as awkward. We were just standing there in each other's arms, staring into each other's eyes. His head started to move closer to me like he was about to kiss me when I heard……..

"Ren? Ren Faber? Is that you?"

That voice sounded familiar…………….. I turned my head………….. Oh god………………… it's William.

I hope you liked this chapter! Please Review!

Oh and if you are wondering pulchritudinous means having great physical beauty or something like that. I don't know. I just found it in the thesaurus.
