Chapter 5
What happened?
Tor sighed as he walked through Meridell Village listening to the towns people talk about the great Sir Tormund and his great deeds he has done for all of Neopia.
He enjoyed the sweet silence as he walked thorough the Meridell Outskirts looking at the blue sky and white clouds that slowly moved across the sky, he went along Farm Road and he could finally see the farm up ahead.
" You're back!" Lucy said excitedly
" You bet I am." Tor replied
Tor couldn't help but smile at his little sister, he loved her perky attitude. Tor went inside and changed into his farm clothes and put away his armor, shield, and sword in the closet. He sat on the bed giving a sigh, he already missed Roberta, the only woman he ever loved and he had to be separated from her, but he knew that he could visit her in Brightvale.
" And no one will stop me." Tor thought determinedly
Two months have passed and Roberta hasn't seen hide nor hair of her secret love Tor, she heard that he was sent on a mission a month ago and hasn't returned. She didn't know if she should believe that or not. Roberta was getting worried about Tor, where was he? Did he get sent out? Was he okay? Did he think of her? Or was he with someone else? What's with all the questions?
Just outside Brightvale...
Tor walked very slowly to the kingdom of Brightvale battered and bruised. He was bleeding very badly, he was sent by King Skarl to kill the Werelupe King, who somehow survived, it Tor a whole month to run and walk to Werelupe Woods. He defeated the Werelupes easily, but defeating the Werelupe King was a whole new deal he was a lot stronger this time. It has taken him a little over another month to get this far and who could blame him?
Tor could hear his blood hit the ground as he slightly staggered toward Brightvale, trying to see clearly. He knew that he was almost there and he would be able to seek medical attention.
Back in Brightvale...
Roberta sat in the throne room on a chair next to her uncle listening to a Uni complaining to the King about the main bridge falling apart.
" My Lord, my Lord." called the Kougra guard
" What is it Zeko?" King Hagan asked
" I have some news sire." Guard Zeko replied
" Go ahead." King Hagan said
" Guard Drake and I saw something or someone while we were on guard duty, and we saw that he was bleeding really badly." Guard Zeko said
" Who was bleeding?" King Hagan asked
" Sir Tormund from Meridell." Guard Zeko replied
" Where is he?" Roberta asked standing up
" In with the nurses my lady." Zeko replied
" Thank you Zeko, you may return to your post now." Hagan said
" Yes sire." Guard Zeko said bowing
By this time Roberta was already headed down the hallway to the nurses room, she opened the door to see a red Lupe nurse taking care of Tor.
" Why hello my lady." said the nurse
" Hello Rose, how is he?" Roberta asked
" He lost a lot of blood, so much he could barely walk or see. He is weak and tired, I'm sure he will be fine." Nurse Rose said
" Thanks for your help Rose." Roberta said
" It's my job." Nurse Rose replied
" Say hi to Rusty and the kids for me." Roberta said
" I will." Rose said
Rose left the room as Roberta sat in a wooden chair next to the small bed that Tor laid on.
" There you are Roberta." Seradar said
" Hello Seradar." Roberta replied
" It's time for your lessons." Seradar said
" Not today Seradar." Roberta said
Seradar didn't dare argue with the young Acara, he knew that she wouldn't listen to him. The old Gelert left as Roberta put her hand next to Tor's hand. How did this happen? And why? Again with the questions!
Roberta didn't move her hand or moved from the chair, she refused to move from his side, but she knew that tomorrow that Seradar would force her to do her lessons and she would have to leave his side for a couple of hours at the least.
The next day after her lessons Roberta returned to Tor's bedside, sitting on the wooden chair refusing to move the slightest inch. She watched Tor lay there breathing, she found herself hypnotized by him he was so peaceful. She put her hand by his and continued to watch the sleeping Lupe, suddenly without warning Tor grabbed Roberta's hand with his. She felt like she was going to melt in his gentle touch, but she snapped back to reality when she heard footsteps.
" Look who's here again." Seradar said
" What do you need?" Roberta asked curiously
" I heard that Tor was sent on a solo mission to fight the Werelupe King." Seradar replied
" I thought we beat him." Roberta said
" He must have survived somehow." Seradar said
Seradar left the room when he heard his name being called, Roberta turned her attention back to Tor once again.
" What happened to you?" Roberta thought
She saw that Tor still had her hand in his, she completely melted in his gentle touch.
Suddenly Tor started to move slightly, Tor's grip on Roberta's hand tightened a bit, then Roberta heard Tor moan slightly. He opened his eyes and smiled.
" An angel, I must be very lucky." Tor said
