PER: I agree with you, chapter one was strange… Please continue to read, and review!
Jack Read: Thank you for reviewing.
Sithlord: I appreciate your review, and yes it seems a lot of time Raven would have a sister, so why not a brother. I am glad that I am not the only one with a "Brother Raven" idea. Thank you for you review.
newiceauthoress: I am greatly thankful for your review. My writing will be slow at start but it will pick up. Please don't stop reading for that.
Through the Eyes of Raven
Chapter 3
Filling the Gap
The day Nevar came back was a surprise to me. He left Atherath 2 years ago, saying he was going to look for a way to defeat Trigon, at this, most laughed, so he left without saying goodbye. Ever since that day, I worried about him, but one day I forgot about him, like one forgets a dream. I guess it was partially my fault, because I believed he was dead. He has much explaining to do, as do I…
When Raven entered her room, she walked to her bed, and prepared to start meditating, when there was a knock on her door.
"Raven, can I come in?" her brother asked. When no reply came, Nevar was about to walk away when her door opened. As Nevar walked into the room, a candle flickered to life, with a single red flame. On her bed, legs folded, was Raven. A faint murmuring could be heard floating through the air. Nevar stepped forward and put his hand on Raven's shoulder, waking her from her half-trance.
"We need to talk." She said in her monotone voice, not even looking up at her brother.
"I know, I have to say sorry to you for not telling you the full truth. Back in Atherath, I left because I was exiled."
"I thought you left to find a way to defeat Trigon. You mean you lied to me?" Raven couldn't stop the sound of internal pain exit her mouth in her remark. The one person who understood Raven the most lied to her.
"Raven… Raven, that was partial reason why I left, and yes, I do believe I lied to you and I ask your forgiveness, but first, I believe I should tell you why it took me so long to find you. Months past before I knew you left Atherath, old Nevermore the Raven told me, and when he did I took up my sword and bow and started the hunt."
"So you did try and find me, but what took so long?"
"Well, there are many planets out there, and I didn't know which ones to search. If I didn't run into Jynx while I was looking for you, I probably wouldn't be here now."
"You ran into Jynx?"
"Yes, I did. She said a guy named Slade sent her to look for me, and by accident told me you where here, so I came." As Nevar stood up he said, "Raven, I really did miss you." But before he could leave, Raven stood up, grabbed his hand, and spun him around so that they faced each other. Then she gave him a hug.
"I missed you too." Raven said as a lone tear fell down her cheek and onto his cloak.
Never again shall I lose my brother like that, never…
"I am glad you took your time to read this chapter. I hope it filled some of your gaps about my brother. I would love to get a few reviews about this chapter, or any other chapter that you may have read. You have reading the words and thoughts of me, Raven, and my brother, Nevar, put down on paper by our friend Forest Wanderer. Bye!"
Raven has much more to say, and I have much more to write.
May the Light guide you and shield you from harm
Write Fast,
Write Well…
Never stop wandering the Forest,
Forest Wanderer
