Wings: BACK! Did you miss me?
Heart: Of corse not.
Wings: Gasp so... Hurtful.
Heart: rolls eyes
Authors note: Hey, everyone. Another Chapter up! I know it took a while but I had to do some research for this chapter. Yes, that means playing the game again and getting to the Serenes Forest. I love that part of the game! I'm also on my spring break, need I say more?
...no I wasn't partying!
Like I said last time, This Chapter is going to take place years later. Narya is now 16. I would appreciate any suggestions for the story, etcetera. Anyway, thanks to all of you who have reviewed.
I'd like to dedicate this chapter to My Best friends and all of you who reviewed... oh, and to my little sister who just finished the game and read my fic.

Chapter Three: A new found life
The sun flowed in golden rivers through the large open windows, warming the room. It reflected off the silverware and the smooth wooden table top. A gentle breeze pushed it's way into the room and began to dance gracefully. Narya sat quietly at the dinner table with her father Tibarn.
"What troubles you?" He asked suddenly.
"Nothing, Why do you ask?" She answered, Looking up from her food.
"You are quiet." He said, "You're never quiet." He laughed a little at the thought, then resumed his serious expression. Narya shrugged.
"Just thinking." She replied casually "And I do not always talk." Tibarn let out another laugh. They both knew she always had something to say. Her opinions were strong and she was stubborn. Though she respected the opinions of others hers are not easily changed.
"Well then, what are you thinking about?" He asked with a smile.
"Serenes." She replied. She often thought of the Heron Forest and her friends there. Reyson and Leanne.
"Am I that boring?" He joked.
"Of coarse not!" She laughed "Is it a crime to think?" Tibarn's smile widened, he never knew what to expect.
"Well it can be dangerous." He replied. "But I guess I'll have to over look it this time. Especially since you're to return to the Heron city in a few days. "
She nodded. She was excited about the trip, but also sad to be leaving Phoenicis. For a season she would not return. But would she be sad to leave Serenes again?
"You better get going. You're always late for your lessons."
"Life's to short to spend rushing about."
"Yes, but you'll never get anywhere if you don't move." Tibarn replied. "Now go."
Narya stood and kissed her father on the top of the head before leaving the Dining room. Tibarn shook his head as he watched her go.
---
Narya entered the training field, where many hawks were practicing their aerial attacks. She crossed the chaotic area to a bench where a tall blue hair man sat, fixing a leather strap on his belt.
"You're late." He said without looking up.
"Yes. I know."
"Just because you're Tibarns daughter does not mean I have to condone your tardiness."
"I know."
"So that's a lap." He said motioning to the field.
She looked out at the large field then back at the man. "Gladly."She took off in a trot around the busy area. Zihark stared after her, and laughed a little to himself. He was hired by Tibarn to train his daughter in the art of swordsmanship a month ago. He excepted Tibarns request that he train Narya after a little thought. It was the perfect job for him. It was short term and gave him the opportunity to learn about the area and the people that reside in Phoenicis.
Phoenicis was an island inhabited by the Laguz of the Hawk tribe, so Zihark was surprised when he found that Narya was a Beorc. He had learned the story of the day she was rescued from bandits. He had also learned that Narya had very little memory of her family and of her life before the adoption. So life as a Laguz was the only life she knew.
Narya was a very interesting person. She was hardworking and determined but quite hard headed. She progressed quickly but was almost always tardy. And she almost always had something to say, no matter what the topic.
After a few moments she ran up to Zihark and slowed to a stop. Her face was red but her breathing was normal.
"Tired?" He asked, while standing.
"No, sir." She replied.
"Good," he said handing her a sword. "And don't call me Sir. It makes me feel old."
"But aren't you?" She asked smiling.
"Not much older than your self. Do you want another lap?" He said barely able to hide his smile.
She Shrugged "That depends".
"On what?"
"Weather or not it gets me out of practice today."
Zihark could tell she was joking and decided to ignore the comment. Picking up his sword he turned and began to walk toward a patch of grass that was not being occupied at the moment.
"I can see you're as cheerful as always, Zihark." She said smiling. He smiled back.
"But of coarse, why would I waste my time being ill-tempered, when I could be cheerful?"
"A very good question, one we should ask Naesala sometime."
Reaching their destination he turned to face the blue haired girl. "Enough talk." He said raising his sword. Her face became serious as she lifted her blade.
"Remember what I taught you. If they are stronger, never make the first move. Do not waste your energy on strength. Save it for speed. "
"You never told me what to do if they are weaker." She said loudly.
"That is not the case here. Another lesson for another time."
Wings: How did you like it?
Heart: goo goo eyes Zihark.
Wings: What?
Heart: Nothing.
Wings: I like him too.
Heart: I never said that!
Wings: Sure.
Authors note: Yes, I know what you're wondering: What was the purpose of that chapter? Well to be honest I just wanted to give you a taste of Narya's life and the person she's grown to be.
You might also be wondering : Zihark? Well I just absolutely love the character, and my sister was able to talk me into putting him here.
He might also become a bigger part of the story and is someone I'm considering for the Narya x ? Pairing.
I know that I also said that there would be a sneek peek on my profile. I'm sorry that I didn't get to it. There might be one for chapter 4, but no promises.
