Memory Of Light Waves
By Firestarr
Chapter Nine– Revelations in Kortd forest
There was a bright light.. I felt a my limbs where pinned on the surface of the stone floor , I can't hardly move . and far from sight I notice a bright sparkle high above from where Iie down pinned , I felt a sudden chill running in my veins as the small prick of light flash down it was a swords coming down at me
"Nooooo!" I scream , but the blade stopped in front of me as if the was an invisible barrier that block between me and the sword suddenly there was blood that dripped from the tip of the blood, but it wasn't mine. As if it pierced into something that blocked me from my very death. My heart pound fast I can't move or react and still staring at the sword. I felt the ground shake and the stone floor crumble .. my body slipped and fell of I was falling
.. Am I going to die..? suddenly I felt someone pulled my hand and embraced as I fall from I height from the collapsing surface I opened my eyes and it was Napchore…
"Napchore?" my eyes was filled with tears as I looked at him and embraced me tightly as our body fall. Then there was this bright light flashed before us. I saw luminous feathers almost wrapped around me.. it was large wings… like of a god's I felt napchore hands break loose… as my body separate from him and I was swallowed by the bright light there were feathers everywhere until his image was daing into the brightness
"Napchore…!"
"!..."
Her heart was pounding fast, Valenarr gasped almost losing air, there was a bright streak of sunlight beaming from the torn cloth of the tent, she sat up her hands were shaking and her face was so perspired and wiped it of with the blanket she slept.
It must be noon already I slept that long… she thought and found herself in a tent their pack of bags were shuffled aside beside the small wooden log set inside the tent, there were bandages and a small basin , the water is dried up with a small piece of cloth .
She remembered they left prontera that midnight. She was chilling so much because of forcing herself to go out that night She notice her bruises and wounds were almost healed. And here fever was gone.
She stood up already and started to fix her bed, she noticed Lyan's chain mail was on set aside along with his blanket outside.
Where did he gone to his armor is here? Valenarr went outside and just a couple of meters away she saw Lyan who was still fast asleep under the tree just right outside the tent still clutching in his sword while sound asleep.
She giggled, she looked at him closely. He sleeps like a baby, peacefully yet there was a scar oh his face. Valenarr didn't woke him up, since he must have watched her the whole night, maybe he needs some rest , Valenarr went back to the tent and took his blanket and placed it underneath his head as a pillow, she removed his sword so he can sleep comfortably. She smiled " Thank you for saving my life.." she said softly . she was right it was him she saw in her dream. If it wasn't for him she would have died there as a frozen corpse underneath the snow. But flashbacks lingered in her mind. Somehow she knew she saw and assassin behind the trees in the lutie field yet she can't yet remember clearly.. but the last thing she knew Lyan was probably battling against Garm that time.
Valenarr felt an twitch of headache. And stopped thinking about it. It will just make her more confusing.. Instead she was glad someone saved her. Who she used to met before.
After a few hours as the sun seems to set that afternoon, still Lyan hasn't woke up
Valenarr went outside again and covered him with a thick blanket, "He must have been so really tired as soon as he wakes up he surely be hungry already".
She took her coat and her things.. since it's a vast grass land in the grass lands
There should be fruit bearing trees in th nearby foot hills.
The sun was almost about to set after harvesting a couple of fruits, good thing there weren't no monsters' especially cobolds around, across the nearby foot hill was a stream.
"The water is so clear.. hmmm. Since no one is around I guess it's okay if I take a bath I feel filthy."
Valenarr took off he clothes. There was a rustle behind the bushes she quickly took her coat to cover her skin and her sword. Slowly she walked towards it. and looked behind it no one was there. It didn't bother her that much but she took her saber with he and placed it in a nearby rock by the stream
Everything seems to quiet she looked up in the orange clouds of the sky as the sun sets behind the tall trees wishing it was the same sky she saw during the past few months. Thoughts of her family lingered in her mind
" I wish the war is over…where could they be?"
Her mind drifted in her thoughts . as the water stream rush down across the stream. There was suddenly a sound of splash of water Valenarr looked behind her "who's there?" aiming her sword must be my imagination and settled back on her back
/Whoosh/ she avoided an in coming arrow Valenarr tripped over from the side of the rockof the stream
"GET DOWN!" somebody yelled from behind , and she dropped back Into the water then there was a spark ray of light and clash into the cobold's body who was about to strike it's axe right at her face.
"Whatta!..." quickly Vale crawld in o the water reach for her sword . she looked back it was an young man. Who threw punches at the cobold and there was another
"BEHIND YOU!"
quickly Valenarr threw her sord and strike to the cobold archer behind the wandering monk , as he took an aim again an a ray of light blasted right across from his finger to the canine beast. He splashed back into the water.
She grabbed her wet clothes which fell into the stream and pointed the tip of her saber right at the young monk's face.
"You moron!.. a peeping tom!" she said with disgust
"Get that thing away from me" he monk smirked pushing away the tip of her blade . but Valenarr pointed it again.
"Either peeping tom, or trying to have me killed…."
"Hey lady… first of all you are unaware that there are cobolds here what kind of a rogue are you you didn't even sensed it.." he said taking of his hood and squeezing out the excess water when he tripped in the stream.
"..and what kind of a monk are you.. is that the discipline you've learn…!"
"……Hey watch you mouth!... I just saved your life lady… and get dressed !" he shot back at her as the young monk walked away from the stream.
"Hey.. wait!... what were you doing here you're peeping on me haven't you!"
"…..NO! im here to hunt and train.. and then I've tracked those cobolds down here." he said from looking away from here as he leave the water stream.
"Fine! Go Away I can take care of my self pervert! Hmph!" she shout back at him. As he dissapered from the trees.
What a pervert he think he can fool me "Ack…." . Valenarr's foot got stuck in between the rocks.. she was trying to pull it but it was to difficult, the other rock made the rock hole smaller but she cat reach it from where she was standing
I am not going to yell for help.. she thought worrying her self and trying to pull it several times.. …
and after a few minutes….
And a few more minutes..
after half an hour…..
and an hour passed still stuck in betweent the rocks of the stream
The sun has already been set. I an't yell for help for Lyan it's far from the camp site soon it will be dark. I have no choice…
"Lyan………… Lyan………..!" she called his name several times Valenarr sat down helplessly she felt it was so stupid of her to go alone farfrom the camp site. Clutching to her robe soaking wet.
There was a rustle behind the bushes.. "Well… Well .. you're still here I thought I so a naked Yoyo Sitting on a rock!" it was the Young monk earlier. Laughing and chewing on a pile of harvested berries in his hand.
"YOU'RE NOT ONLY A PERVERT , RUDE AS WELL! AND FROM A MONK!" Valenarr yelled at him
He just laughed at her " Suite yourself….i thought I need to to check you here if you still need me?"
"I don't' need your help either…!" She mock and started to call Lyan's name again
"You if you're calling for someone . I saw a Knight in a tent but way far from here.." He said
"Is he awake!" she asked " Nope fast asleep are you with him? If he is.. you're hopeless cause he is fast asleep and far from this place." He laughed and turned away.
Valenarr didn't answered back , and tried to pull out her leg again but it was really useless…
"wait….." she said in a soft voice, But he didn't heard it "Please……."
The monk looked at her " You need my help?" he smiled slyly..
"……"
"Oh okay no answer I should be going… then .."
"…. I'm still wounded from the other night ……..can you please help me I'm weak" She asked helplessly
The Young man went towards the other side of the rock stream and pulled out the stone that made her leg locked in between the rocks
"There… " then Valenarr quickly pulled out her leg from the waterhole.
"You.. should be careful next time…and a warrior should never be unarmed and unaware but only to a corpse.. you should not also rely on others easily be aware also what if they aren't much around when you need them… believe me I know…" He said and handed her saber within her reach. Valenarr smiled at him
"Thank you.."
"Oh and you should get dressed too.." he added, her face blushed when she remembered she was still naked that time . as he walked away. From her
"I guess so… I should be going and get dried up into camp…. Thank you again… I'm sorry I called you pervert…"
"Don't worry happens all the time… I'll just be watching…" he smiled at her
who are you anyway?" she asked . covering herself with her coat.
"Valenarr!... Valenarr!" it was Lyan's voice and appeared from above the stream
"What ore you doing? You shouldn't be out here!..." Lyan called from below and went to her..
"I was just taking a bath….." then she looked behind , the monk disappeared.
"What are you looking for something wrong? No body's there?" Lyan went up to her and gave her his cloak to cover her wet coat.
" No… nothing.. I thought some one…"
"You shouldn't be out here… at this time this is the kordt grasslands.. there are cobolds here.. reminds me.. we should be near britonian castle.. com'on lets get back to camp" Lyan accompanied her back to their campsite.
Lyan set a bon fire by the tent. Her eyes were fixed in the trees.
"Valenarr….."
Lyan placed his cloak on her back to ensure she wasn't cold
"You feel much better?" he asked
"Thank you.. I am.." she replied , as Lyan sat on a small wodden log and started to polish his sword with a small rag from his pouch bag.
"….Thank….you…" she added" .. I mean I know you watched me overnight and … I feel much better my wounds are healed…"
"…and you shouldn't be out there taking a bath , you still haven't recovered that much, yet your wounds aren't much that completely healed.. like the other night I found you roaming in the streets of prontera." Lyan exclaimed sounding disappointed.
"well its not your fault if I am burden to you." She said
"well I cannot leave you alone in lutie or else garm must have torn your flesh to pieces…… "he exclaimed and smiled.
" its not I'm blaming you .. sorry never mind what I said" she said and smiled at Lyan.
"Lyan .. " , the knight put off his sword and took a loaf of bread and sat closely to valenarr "yes?... I know this all sudden I don't even know what to ask of you… " he said
" This is very funny… I met you when I was still a thief with Vyse and my uncle's family….."
"Vyse… he left in aldebaran maybe your uncle and aunt stays there.. that's why I found you, I wasn't able to stop him but I told him I will find you but he still insisted to go and look for his elder brother.."
"elder brother?" it's maybe Napchore that's what Vyse's ment
then he continued…" I was looking for you in morroc that time I returned several times after the turmoil of majorous … then I found you one on one with Garm… "
"It's not only Garm… I saw …"
"That dark wizard?... our fleet from Valkyrie was sent in Aldebaran thats' why I was able to bring your nephew there, the clock tower was continuously ringing for almost three days..
Knights were dispatched to that place, and since he was seen in the nearby place in the northern hills, the King and his advisers' don't know what he is up to..
Sages were studying his course of attack since the marksmen of sages were exiled form Juno since the Dark wizard took over and the Lord of Death."
"So it was true.. al this thing happened"
"yes it is.. Since I was sent out to guard the emperuim hold in Castle Luina in aldebaran. But we were sent out in the northern hills. A ray of light and thunderclouds strike in the nearby lutie field, I assumed it was a Lord of vermillion power that tremble the snowy field.. then I saw you almost got killed by Garm."
"Assasins knew about that I know it was held with in the walls of the court of the assassin guild it shouldn't be spoken of.."she added
"Its true.. because the King doesn't want his countrymen to lose hope for Rune midgard, that's the only reason... ".. then She remain silent.
"… You're with someone right?.. an assassin right?" He asked softly
Valenarr looked at him questioningly " Yes he was my lover.. "
Lyan sighed looking away from valenarr , his eyes seemd a bit cold and worried as if it was wrong for him to ask her..
"You've seen him?. In the Lutie field? I know I've saw him there.. I know assasins were sent there..?"
Lyan didn't answered he took her cup she saw drinking and touched her cheek and looked into her eyes " Gets some sleep we still have to get your wound cured to Geffen." He stood up and passed by her
"Wait…" she hold his hand waiting for an answer
" Valenarr she was looking for you I met him in morroc.. but I haven't seen him in Lutie as much as Vyse's wanted to find him and started looking for him, that's the only thing I know … Good night my lady" he said and took a cup with water and threw it to put out the bonfire
"get some sleep". He said and went in.
Do I have to trust him? He knows something… Valenarr stared at the night sky Lyan knew about Napchore.. why wouldn't he wanted to talk about it?
Somehow she remembered what the monk told her. He is right I must be aware of the things around me and not to rely to what I hear I must know it for my self..everythingaround me is changing I meet different people. And I learn to what I see.
Valenarr looked at the night sky and she wnet inside the tent.
