Naruto walked up the hill past the place he last saw Aloy, looking around the blond couldn't see the girl anywhere. "Just great...she left me." the blond muttered "Guess I'll have to find her." he turned on his focus as he scanned the place and to his luck, there were some tracks on the ground that the Focus redeemed that they were still fresh.

Following the tracks, Naruto watched as the clouds form above, wind was beginning to gust at a very fast pace. 'It's going to rain soon.' the blond thought as he followed the tracks, on the way Naruto found a couple Striders which he took down as he needed the parts for his meeting with Rost, later on, continuing on the path the blond was shocked when he saw Aloy climbing a couple of stacked rocks.

"BROM! BROM ARE YOU OUT THERE!" Naruto looked at the top of the rocks and there he saw a Nora woman shouting out into the wild, "BROM IT'S YOUR SISTER OLARA!" she shouted once more. 'She's looking for someone...and Aloy is going up to talk to her? Well, this is interesting.' Naruto watched as Aloy sat down next to the girl. Approaching the rock Naruto could hear their conversation.

"Who are you calling out for? Do you need help?" Aloy asked the woman who reluctantly spoke. "Your clothing... you're an outcast aren't you?" she questioned.

"What's it to you?" Aloy asked "I have nothing against outcasts, far from it. But I shouldn't talk to you. I don't want to get in trouble." she replied as Aloy shrugged. "I don't see anyone else around to help." Naruto just chuckled as he heard this, Aloy really liked being sarcastic.

"I guess you're right. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be callous. My brother was cast out, but his sentence has ended. He should have come home but he didn't and his camp was covered in blood!"

"Your brother's camp was soaked in blood?"

"Yes, the braves went looking for him and that was what they found. All I can think about was what might have happened. Is he really dead?"

"Did the braves find the body?" Naruto interjected as the two turned to see him climb onto the rock. "W-who are you?" the woman asked as Naruto put his hands up. "I come in peace and don't worry I won't tell anyone that you were talking to Aloy, plus I doubt they would believe me since I'm also an outcast," Naruto stated. "Do you know each other?" the woman asked Aloy who nodded. "Yes we do, he's my...friend," she told the woman who nodded. "Oh...I see." with that Aloy stood up as she spoke.

"Well Olara doesn't worry but I'll do what I can to find your brother."

"You will? Then let me come with you, I won't be a bother. I know how to stay out of sight."

"Sorry but I'm faster on my own," she replied, Olara felt like saying something but she reluctantly kept it within. "If that's how it must be, then so be it. But please just find him, then." Aloy nodded as she and Naruto got off the rock. "Since when did you start helping people?" Naruto asked, "Since now." Aloy replied as she began running. "Hey, Aloy wait up!" Naruto shouted as he ran after the girl.

The two ran to the west side of the Embrace and Naruto had to just keep running after the redhead who for some reason was silent the whole way.

'This must be Brom's camp. Better clear out the Watchers.' Aloy thought to herself as the camp had two Watchers busy roaming around it, taking out her bow Aloy noted an arrow to one of it as she shot at one of the Watchers hitting it in the eye, a large spark came from the Watcher's eye as it crashed onto the ground shutting down completely when it's companion saw it crashing down, it scanned the area and when it saw Aloy it just rushed at her and before she could notch another arow it jumped into the air ready to have it's foot planted on the redhead's face. Aloy was ready to roll out of the way but the Watcher was shot in the eye, as it landed right next to her, missing her face by an inch.

"You know you should stop running off like that. Me and you both know it's pretty dangerous for you to be running of like that every single time your emotions are clouding your judgment." Naruto informed Aloy as he went to take out his arrow from the Watcher only for the tip to break off. "Well this is now waste." he stated as he threw it away and turned to Aloy. "So? What's going on, why did you scurry off like that?"

"I just needed to think." Aloy replied. "Think about what?" the blond asked. "My life."

"Your life? What about your life."

"You wouldn't understand." Naruto had a skeptical demeanor.

"Come on Aloy you know me...we've known each other ever since we were kids. I know you and you know me so come on tell me." Aloy stayed quiet for a second as she spoke. "Okay...well it's just you know all my life I've been working hard to win the Proving and well this morning I asked myself when I do win the Proving what would happen to Rost."

"What do you mean, what will happen to Rost? I'm pretty sure he'd support you all the way."

"But that's the thing, he told me that if I become a brave I'll be accepted and he'll still be an outcast. He says that he'll expect me to shun him and I know for a fact I won't be able to do that."

"Yeah well if that's the case you can just go and visit him, it's not like you'll be discovered. Nobody ever comes up that mountain you call home."

"But that's the thing, I feel like because of that he'll just disappear off the face of the Earth. That he'll just never come back to the cabin and he'll just wander around the Embrace hoping that I never find him. He can't really expect me to forget about him like that, he raised me since I was a baby! He was the only man that has ever showed me love and now he says we won't be able to talk just because of some stupid law!" Naruto hummed when Aloy finished speaking, folding his arms the blond spoke. "So you think that he'll want to abandon you?" Aloy was cut quiet by this question.
