"I just stared at him as he walked away from me that afternoon, I don't if it would be the last time he embraced me in his arms" Valenarr watched him as he depart from her sight as the sunset that afternoon. It's been a couple of days after each noon as she watched form the rooftop waiting for his arrival, as each passing day the city was under state of calamity, they barricade the passage of the morroc pyramids and the thieves guild moved outside the city gates, Vyse and the others stayed in the guild house, but Valenarr remained nthe nearby old shack where they shelter

One night she waited for him to come back during supper in the old shack She didn't said a word as Vyse and the two thieves settled at the table.

"You're to quiet.. he will return in due time valenarr" said on of the thieves. But she didn't answer. The three of them exchange looks as they watch her eat silently that night." Vale, He needs to go choose his path, we will take care of you" the other thief said.

"I know…. Don't remind me , it's not easy there's a war out there". She said and left the table. Vyse just watched her as she went to her bed. the young thief thought that she was right "She will be alright , she's right after all " Vyse exclaimed .

Upstairs She sat on the edge of her bed as she face the moonlight right outside her window. Can we stay together? I thought I will never felt this being alone, but I guess I'm still am.. she whispered in her thoughts I'm afraid that one day I will be alone. I don't know if we will stay forever., he wished for more power but not only to protect me, but him self

Valenarr took the necklace of wisdom in her hand and memories flashed in her thoughts, as she closed her eyes. The scene of prontera field and the small cottage, Vyse , Her Aunt and Uncle , and the view of the sunset. And the same words her uncle would always remind her that she will not be alone as long as she believes.. the night they went to Prontera city during her birthday….

The stunning lights glimmered the city as they celebrated a joyous feast during the coming of her age. It was that night.. and she went outside the inn…" Life is beautiful…" she whispered as she looked at her pendant , suddenly there was a strong wind and it caught her pendant off her hand and fell across the street. Valenarr went to the direction where the pendant fell off. She tripped and there was wolf in front of her. She didn't have the chance to move , as she slowly crawl back and tripped from behind she landed on her back, before the enormous wolf pounce on her, but there was a bright light flashed before her that blinked her sight as she fell on her back she heard a loud wolf cry she stared at the sky there was snow falling against her face. she cant see clearly because of the snow and the flash of light al the she saw and a glimpse of feathers fell from her side .

………."Valenarr.." she heard an unfamiliar voice she felt his hands held her back and into his arms "napchore.."she whispered his name as she opened her eyes before was a man she cannot she it clearly who was it but his eyes were deep brown and his black hair dripped fuzzy over his face he has a scar on the forehead. She can't utter words ner body was numb as the anonymous man pulled her out from the snow has was cold as she touch her face she moved her hand and felt he was wearing a metal glove "Who are you?" she utter " Don't speak… I will bring you to safety" he whispered .

"Valenarr ….."

"Valenar…." She opened her eyes again as she felt a different hand touch her cheek and she saw his grey eyes and his ash hair . "Nap….?... Im dreaming?" she uttered and she smiled upon seeing he has returned. And found her self nestled in his arms.

"Stop crying ," he brushed her tears from her eyes, Valenarr looked carefully, he was different , there were scars on his shoulders and he was cloaked with a rugged mail, and hooded cloak, and a pair of sharp metal shoulder pads. But he was wounded., Napchore sat beside her as he placed his jur at the side of the table .

"You've changed? And your scars?" she remarked with sadness on her face as she touched his wounded arms covered in stained bandage.

"I'm Fine… now that I'm here. my training wasn't easy and I've learned a lot" he said. As he stood up by the window, His image was more visible because of the moonlight his image was changed Valenarr didn't said anything and watched him as he stood by the window.

" Valenarr…. I Have something to say to you…" he said , she just listened and somehow she feared what he will say would bring them to different decision.

"I made an oath…. To serve the kingdom as stealth soldiers.. I've heard there was more to what was happening that causes the cities to fall down. after this war... maybe everything will be alright"

"they need you?... I Understand." She exclaimed
