Chapter Four – Piercing Thoughts

It as high noon they went back to the headed for Alberta, rumors spread across izlude there were only a few civilians left in the town, Its' seems every thing has been back to normal unlike the other night. They were mistaken as intruders sneaking into the city. It was normal by that time , but there were so many soldiers securing the gates of Izlude. As they dock the ship with a few passengers and civilians Valenarr looked back at the pier, thinking about the other night there was someone , the swordsman she met on the same night when she and Vyse got separated from Vyse's parents.

Valenarr's thoughts drifted across the sea. And her eyes towards the city which they were departing from

" We took back the boat heading to Alberta , I'm wasn't sure if we made the right decision, Vyse and I , yet we hardly know Napchore and the rest of his party, I am a thief myself. But maybe it is the time of desperate measures." She thought, as her mind drifted in her thoughts

" Valenarr.. you think mother and father is safe?" Vyse's asked , she looked at him and pat him on the shoulder. " I know they will be.. We will find them" she said. , noticing a glimpse of Napchore whowas staring at her when she looked at his direction, but then he looked away and went to the other side of the bridge.

"what's with him he's been looking at me like that since earlier when where trapped inside the undersea tunnel?... " She thought and went inside her cabin , she spent the whole day inside..

In Alberta..

" We're arrived in Alberta peacefully, I just hope we can find uncle and auntie here," she thought …" Vyse I'll be back " she said as they left the bridge

" where are you goin' sis?" he ask " No I'm comin' with you" Napchore insisted and took his pack with him. " I'll be fine by myself" she said but he didn't listen. " Napchore. You're still wounded.. Please I'll just look for some information… and.."

" and what? .. besides I'm just goin' to get some supplies to " he added. The boys laughed , Valenarr look at them with a straight face " very funny….!" .

" what is he? Grr… he's starting to annoy me already.!" She mumbled.

It didn't take long , Napchore remained quiet as they went to the nearby store,he didn't spoke that much.

" We stayed that night in Alberta in a nearby tavern, I was thinking a , lots of things had happened. " Valenarr watched her comrades chatter in the tavern with a quick drink ,she stood by the window that night and watch the sky, Napchore was outside by port walk talking with young Vyse. She smiled and looked at her necklace "Poor child , we will find your parents… wherever they are.." she said to her self as she watched over the two , Napchore seem to be teaching the young lad something with a self defense. He seemed to be calm and serious as he was instructing Vyse though she cant make out the words the were talking about, she seemed to be rest assured he was a good trainor for Vyse. Napchore look at her direction and smiled at her softly, Valenarr looked away and blushed. He must have notice she was watching that time, she looked back at the window but Napchore left Vyse and so Valenarr went outside " Vyse , you should get some rest" she said as she went towards her young cousin and pat him on the head , Vyse smiled " Vale…. I want to go with Brother" he said

" with napchore?... are you sure?..." she asked but there was a silence before Vyse replied . somehow his eyes seemed to be watery already " I know what I'm doin"

Valenarr felt a sudden sorrow for the little one and embraced him before he began to cry " Don't worry we will find them Vyse.. You will be strong. Where ever they are.. we will find them okay?" she exclaimed and brused the tears from his eyes.

"hey.. We adventurers we never cry… okay?" she said and smiled at him. Vyse hugged his older cousin and went inside. She watched young Vyse went inside the Tavern Inn.

She stared at the starry sky that night and sat on the staircase beside port walk

" Not yet sleepy?" napchore replied from behind. She looked behind and smiled.

"Nope I'm not" she said softly. He sat beside her that time. Valenarr didn't spoke a word

" I've been noticing you're quiet when I'm around" he said and smiled Valenarr didn't answer and moved an inch away.

"Are uou mad at me?..."

"…. NO silly… just don't ask things like that" she said but her face was so red.

Napchore laughed at her

"What's so funny?" she shot back while he bursted to laughter

"Nothing.. I just have this stupid thoughts…." He giggled

"what?" Valenarr gets irritated and pinches his arm " Awww!"he said but he was still smiling

"What!" she pinches him again

"I'm not gonna tell you!" and again " Awwww! That's get to far!" he said and grab her two hands

" What's so funny!" she yelled at him, Napchore just laughed " You know what…. You look so cute when you get irritated!"

"THAT IOS NOT FUNNY! You're making me irritated! Let go of my hands!" she shouted

Napchore just laughed at her, " Okay you wont let me go ahye!" the she bit him on the nose

"AWWWWW! ARE YOU KNOTS!" he screamed Valenarr just laughed at him but he seemed he didn't like it. As he covered his face because of the pain.

"Hey. I 'm sorry did that hurt?" she moved closer " can I have a look at it?"

" hmmm.. yeah" he sat down and valenarr move closer " let me see…" she said

"Ouch that hurts……" he whimpered. " Silly it's nothing bad" she remarked and moved away but napchore held her hand not to let go when she touched his face.. She felt a sudden shiver as they paused and cherished the moment staring at each other. He has beautiful grey eyes even he has a scar on his face but his was face was so calm. Valenarr stared to every contour of his face.

" Valenarr…" he said softly. She snapped from staring. And didn't said a word not even one.

He just smiled " You like me do you? That's why I laughed" he said.

" Are you stupid!" she said irritatedly. And shoved his hand " I'm going to sleep!" she said furiously.. and stood up and walked away..

" Wait!" he called back.

" What is he thinking!... he's trying to get in me!"

" Vale Please……." He said bvt she kept on walking. And then he caught her hand. Valenarr paused. She didn't looked behind her but then he pulled her hand and made her body drag back as he then embraced her tightly.

She didn't expect that Napchore would embrace her, there was a sudden shiver from her chest and inside her she can't even say anything.

" Slap me if you want…. I.. just… " he didn't continued what he was saying as his arms wrapped around Valenarr as the cld breeze of the port of Alberta blew that night under the starry sky, and the sound of the ocean splashed from afar.

"… Valenarr will you come with me?..." he said softly but he didn't let go.

" What is he thinking?... Napchore I don't know what to say?" she thought but her mind was blank..

" Napchore… what's wrong?" all that she can say. But obviously.. it was that moment was trying to confess that.

" Vale…" he lift her chin and then softly he kissed her. As his lips touch hers his arms tightened as he held her arms. It was a quick moment valenarr respond and kissed him back feeling his soft touch. He pulled back.

" Im sorry… I didn't mean .. vale…. Im fallin for you.." he said and asked

" Can I Love you?..." he asked Valenarr's thoughts drifted in space he just met her a few days ago.. and now this.

Questions left her mind . " Okay.. this is embarrassing.. we'll talk tomorrow" he said she just nodded her head and Napchore kieed her in the fore head.

He knew she responded to his kiss.

" Vale.." he said as he handed a witherless rose and put it on the palm of her hand.

Valenarr smiled " okay.." she said softly as he kissed her hand again. "I know it's the midst of war.. we'll go to Morroc tomorrow. I have also my own duties.. please come with me okay?" He asked again. Trying to look at her eyes she felt so confused. But she smiled at him. " Tomorrow.." she said as went inside Napchore just watched her went in. Valenarr went inside her room and looked at the window Napchore was still there that night and went by the port walk " Napchore….." she whispered the name of the man who was falling for her.

The next morning Valenarr opened her yes there was a streak of light peaking from the curtain window. She sat from her bed and saw a tray of bread and cream soup strawberries and a glass of juice on the corner table in her room. There was a small bottle wrapped in a velvet cloth valenarr opened it it was a small perfume, and a small brooch attached at the bottle she looked at the brooch carefully it was glowing inside. " It 's compounded with a power inside" she thought

"Wow!" Vyse appeared beside her

" What are you doin talking like that so sudden!" she yelled

"Sorry.. but wow look at that.. it must have compounded of power hey…. That brooch is familiar?" he said and smiled at her " Oh I Seee! And how gave you this breakfast… I 'm starting to notice something" he said slyly.

"stop it! You silly"

"Its from big brother eh? That brooch of flash is his.. I saw him wear that in his cloak… how sweet!" valenarr threw a pillow at him

then Napchore went in the room" What's going on you two?" he said straightly

Vyse just giggled and went outside and smiled at his big brother " Vale get dressed..we'll be leaving" he said bluntly. Valenarr frowned as he left the room

"what is he stupid.. ? last night he was so sweet what was wrong with him!" she said to herself and got dressed.

It was a long day as they traveled from Alberta to the passage to sograt. They took a small wagon as Valenarr sat behind with Vyse and the two thieves, Napchore was on the coach,

"That's nap's brooch he gave it to you?" asked one of the thieves, while the other guy on shoved him " You stupid of course it's his he gave it to her right nappy?"

" Shut up!" he growled

but they laughed Valenarr just remained silent from embarrassment. They were teasing Napchore , Vale slowly understands why napchore doesn't show much of his emotions to people. He was trying to show Vyse how to be strong ,

Not long enough after the travel as the sky clouded over the dessert they've reached morroc. They stopped by near the city ruins.

"it's going to rain" she said , she thought Napchore was looking at her but her just took out the tent to cover the wagon before the down pour. She watched him carefully. She can't him being so quiet towards her

"What the hell is wrong with you!" she yelled , The others was startled when Valenarr yelled at Napchore.

And the laughed and left

" Now they are arguing come on Vyse let's get to shelter" one of the thieves said.

Napchore smiled and winked at her .

" now you're laughing at me" she exclaimed

" Im shy…" he said

Valenarr thought it was funny and laughed " Thank you for this brooch" she said

" Oh take good care of it like you r necklace okay I'll talk to you later I'll just go to the guild house and see what I can do for Vyse" he said and before he left the wagon he kissed valenarr on the forehead and went to the ruins. As he put on his manteau and cloaked it as the rain became a down pour, Valenarr went to the others.

"A few days have passed I've been watching Vyse as he continue his test as a thief, Napchore thought him the ways of survivals, now we are a band of thieves. We just stay in an old shack because within the town people mistaken us as bandits. But it was a time of chaos. A day or two I fell in love with Napchore with his strong will and determination, his friends didn't mind if we've been staying together for quit sometime but he never asked if I love him, I can still remember when he said to me if he can love me? He didn't expected an answer from me. But he cousin's mentor and there are things that is worth thinking than the relationship between us. Maybe that is why He never said anything about us." It was the same words Valenarr kept on thinking but she never asked Napchore.. She just loved the way he hides his feelings and keep it in his heart.

It was the forth day that noon, Valenarr sat at the roof top of an old house near the ruins as she glared at the sunset. Below she watched the rest of her comrades and Vyse who seemed never asked again about his parents.

Below Vyse looked at Valenarr who was watching the sunset.

" Brother…" he asked Napchore and look at him " I know what's on your mind.. its you parents" he replied

" Not really.. I just believe we will find them I will find them for sure. That's what she said to me to believe.." Vyse added " I know you've been thinking a lot lately will you leave us Napchore?" he asked.

" No I wont " he said.

Then he went to Valenarr and sat beside the roof top " It seems so peaceful bvt it's not" He said, and he reached for her hand Valenarr looked at him questioningly " Somethings bothering you?" she asked.

" Yes. Valenarr… you must have heard the rumors reached in the city right?".

" I know.. even the far reach of the ruins has been sealed because of the awakening of the minotaurs. ". She said

" Yes, and yesterday I heard civilians fled to Aldebaran.. probably you family is there."

Valenarr' was surprised to what he just said and then he added

" Vale…. I.. I don't know the only way to defend you is.. can you come with me and I will bring you there . before….."

" Before what? Napchore.. Vyse must be eager to know that his parents must be there."

Napchore didn't answer, he somehow one of these days they will go on separate ways. He just squeezed Valenarr's hand, Vale looked at him his eyes seemed to be sad and dreary.

".. Napchore it's not that .. I just mean is.." Vale was trying to comfort him when he just loosen his grip holding her hand. And he went down the roof.

" Please what is it? I'm coming with you…" she said her voice was shaky and embraced him. Weakened by her embrace Napchore just hugged his beloved and kissed her to ease the tears in her eyes.

" When I become an Assasin I will defend you." He said, Valenarr just embraced him but her thoughts overwhelmed by what he just said. He will leave me? She asked herself.
