Okay, y'all, here is the next chappie! Hope you enjoy it. I accidently deleted the entire thing, so it took me awhile to get this one up. Here it is...
Chapter 2
Jair had wasted no time after getting his sword. With the ephoria still fresh inside him, he quickly went to work on old stumps and rotten logs. He would have continued doing this if not for the weariness that washed over him. Almost too tired to hold the sword much longer, he sheathed it and trudged back home. He was starved, having just exhausted all his energy and barely eaten anything all day. He took a large chunk of break and an apple, and sat down to eat them.
Afterwords, he placed the sword in the chest at the foot of his bed. The chest contained all of Jair's posessions, which wasn't very much, but each one meant a whole lot to him. The only downside of living in a large town like this is the noise, Jair thought bitterly. He was walking around town again, watching the clouds move ever so slowly above him. The shadows around him were lengthening, and the sun was beginning to set. Jair quickly walked back home.
His mother and father wre both eating dinner, but since he had only barely eaten, they excused him.
"Hey, didn't you want me to help you practice with the sword?" his father asked.
"Oh, actually, I'm all worn out. Maybe tomorrow." Jair walked up the stairs and into his room. He was tired, but not tired enough for bed. He got the stone out of the chest and examined it again. It was so beautiful, how the sun's rays lanced off of it, and little dots of light shimmered on teh walls. Then his father walked inside.
"Hey, what's that in your hand." he asked. Unable to explain very well, seeing as the true story was slightly hard to believe, Jair quickly made up a real lousy cover story.
"Well, I found it. It was in the woods, covered by the roots of a tree." he stammered, trying to make it sound believable. His father stared at the stone suspiciously, but then nodded.
"Okay, I can believe that. Stranger things have happened in those woods then the discovering of shiny rocks. Can I see it?" his father said. Jiar shrugged at handed it to him. "Hmm,sure is hard like a rock. What do you plan to do with it?"
Jair told him of how he planned to sell it to the traders. His dad said that might be the best course of action, unless he wasnted to keep something as rare as that. Jair didn't answer to that, and his father left him alone after that. he put the stone back into it's rightful place, then layed down on his bed. The sun had gone down over the horizon, but the clouds were still a hazy red. Jair watched them until they faded away, and stars began to dot the sky.
Right before he fell asleep, he could have swore he heard a small tiny squeek, but after a few moments, fell into a deep slumber.
A/N - Not incredibly action packed, but, not all chapters can be that way. Please review!
