Chapter Two.
Evil puzzles…
"Majic! Hurry up! We don't have all day," Cleao snapped at the green-eyed boy who was carrying the supplies.

Panting Majic shot an angered look in Cleao's direction,
"I'm going as fast as I can," he growled under his breath.

Volkan and Dortin were chatting away a few feet behind Majic discussing a rare jewel to the east. Orphen was ahead looking at the sky while walking calmly along the path.

"What's on your mind Master?" asked Majic catching up to the brunette.

Orphen chuckled and looked at Majic,
"I miss Shrimp-man," he said smiling.

Cleao popped her head between Orphen's and Majic's. Leki was on top of the blonde's head with a look of slight interest,
"Why? That idiot's a pain," she said frowning.

"Sadly I have to agree with Cleao, he can get on your nerves quite quickly" said Majic wincing as Cleao hit him playfully.

Orphen laughed,
"He was my best friend at the Tower," he said looking at both of them with a bright smile.

"Wait! You know who he is?" snapped Cleao frowning.

Orphen laughed again, this time stopping.
"Yes I know who he is," he said grinning. "We used to collect comic books about the New Black Tiger, he said he'd be just like him one day, and he… has"

"So, his name is the New Black Tiger," said Volkan swallowing another mouthful of meat from a leg of lamb he'd stolen.

"Told you," snorted Dortin moving his glasses so he could see better in the light.

Orphen shook his head,
"He couldn't betray Childman, he looked up to the man like a father, and so he couldn't come with me," said Orphen sighing "But he promised he'd always be there for me" he said.

"It sounds like he cares for you a lot," said Dortin smiling.

Volkan snorted while pushing his brother roughly,
"Who cares… come on Dortin we must find that jewel," snapped Volkan grabbing Dortin's coat and dragging the smaller boy away.

Majic watched this exchange,
"You know I'm actually starting to feel sorry for Dortin," he said frowning.

"Who cares about Dortin?" snapped Cleao before looking at Orphen "What's his name?" she asked her eyes alight.

"Hartia…" said Orphen smiling "But you'll have no luck with him" he said seeing that look in her eyes.

Cleao pouted,
"Why? Is he taken?" she asked.

Orphen laughed out loud,
"Hmm… Kinda" he got out before wiping away a tear. "He doesn't swing in that direction," he said grinning as Cleao's mouth fell open.

"Damn" she said stamping her foot, "He sounded so sweet too"

While Cleao marched away scowling Majic elbowed Orphen in the side,
"And?" he said grinning.

"What-?" asked Orphen beginning to blush,

"How would you know this, Master?" Majic asked.

"I- Uh…" Orphen blushed further and ran a hand through his hair "W-We dated for a while…" he said

"So what happened?" asked Majic frowning.

"Uh… Well, Azalie happened…" said Orphen sighing, "I told him I had to go… and he said he understood"

"Wait up… you left him? Poor guy, he must have had all this time to think up reasons why you left," said Majic sighing.

Orphen suddenly looked worried,
"What do you mean?" he asked.

Majic sighed,
"Like… he might think you were in love with Azalie and cared for her more" said Majic thinking of the most obvious.

"B-But… he couldn't think that I-? Do you think that's why he hasn't come back?" asked Orphen letting his shoulders slump.

"No, I'm sure if you told him you cared for him he would understand," said Majic smiling, but the smile slipped as Orphen looked even more fearful. "You did tell him about your feelings… right?"

Orphen felt horrible inside, he had never said anything like that towards Hartia, ever. They did date, but not long enough for Orphen to say how he felt. Hartia hadn't hesitated though; it worked out then that Hartia had had feelings for Orphen long before the brunette asked him out.
"I-… He must hate me," whispered Orphen feeling tears building in his eyes.

Majic's eyes widened,
"No, no… why else would he stick by your side?" asked Majic wincing at his words that weren't exactly as soothing as he had hoped.

Orphen cringed as he remembered their last conversation he had had with Hartia.

. . Flashback . .

"Please Krylancelo, be careful you almost got yourself killed" whispered Hartia looking up at Orphen with pleading eyes.

"I'm not Krylancelo anymore Hartia… you know that" Orphen snapped feeling anger build inside of him.

Hartia winced at the anger behind Orphen's words,
"Just… don't get yourself killed… OK?" he asked smiling at Orphen warmly.

But Orphen didn't seem to notice Hartia's smile, Orphen was angry, he had once again lost his chance to save Azalie.
"Why couldn't you come faster?" he asked glaring at Hartia.

Hartia, taken aback by this, stuttered slightly,
"K-Krylancelo, I couldn't just leave my students I-"

Orphen cut him off,
"So what? You couldn't come because some of your stupid students?" snapped Orphen instantly regretting his words.

Hartia looked horrified, stumbling away from Orphen tears began to build in the man's eyes, and then anger followed close behind,
"How dare you say such things Krylancelo!" he yelled turning away from Orphen "Away" he said before disappearing.

. . End Flashback . .

Orphen felt the same sadness well inside of him, he had been jealous, he hadn't meant for the words to come like that. Was Hartia planning on never returning? Orphen was scared he couldn't lose his Tiger...
