Memory Of Light Waves

By Firestarr

Chapter Eighteen – A Warrior's prayer

My body was numb for the moment as I followed the man before me who seemd to be a ghost of my past dashing back to the city, the sky darkened it was like night.. he grab my hand as I was carried off my feet back to the city.. sparks of fire glow behind the the trees " Take cover" he said as I grabbed in his cloak and a couple of dark blades almost hit us , we flew across them it was to many, even I can't see trough darkness, except for the demonic blue light from the horong ghosts appeared before us. " Every one will die here" I said as we reached the city, Half of the town was burnt , casualties ran over the end of the city " Vale Head to the pier.. !"

" Every one will die I Just can't leave here!" " I said as I saw Rui far across from me.. trying to get everyone to safety , a few warriors as well head to the palace " Rui!" I Yelled as he looked back at me , it was only a moment then there apperead behind him a an undead firelock , quickly Napchore dashed behind Rui and to dodge the bullet shot with his infiltrator. But it shot rui at the arm and knock him off balance Vale quickly went to his side as Napchore take down the firelock soldier. Rui stood up holding his bleeding arm.

" Rui ..!" Vale grab hold of his arm " Valenarr go now.. every body left the city.." he said

" No I will stay..!"

"NO!" he said and stood up and took Napchore's opponent " Napchore… Take her to safety I'll handle this ! Take her to the ship!" He yelled

" No I will stay!' She cried Napchore grab her as they were about to leave " Hurry now!... take good care of her… She deserves you…!" The last words I heard Rui spoke. I wastrying to hold back back Napchore took me by force "We can't go back!" He said. Tears flowed fromher eyes.. as she cried to the burning city.. she saw the Incantation Samurai appeared beyond the buildings.

" Let me stay please!" She cried as Napchore carried me at the ship " This People need you… I'll find you again …. " Napchore said and kissed her on the forehead as the assassin cross went back to the burning city of amatsu. All I heard were a hallow cry as our ship drifted to the sea…. To the darkness of the night.. I was taken away by the sea wind..

Every thing happened so fast.. I joined the villagers and our neighbors. I joined Rui's neighbor's they were trying to keep me company, and a familiar face was in the crowd at the ship

" Sis…?" it was Vyse.. somehow.. I felt enlightened .. and almost criedand embraced the young thief who was the only family I have left.

Vyse kept me company as we sailed back to comodo . as I heard his parents stayed in the distant isle town . Still I stared at the distant see to the east as I saw the night sky over the ocean . Vyse and I sharedstories and how I became a rogue .. but my heart drifted in space

" Vale.. we missed you " Vyse said.. I was to quiet to answer back " Napchore missed you so much …" he said.. I don't know what to answer.. still confused and thinking he was like back from the dead ….

" I just wanna go home " Vale said.. " Did you missed him he missed you a lot" Vyse asked

" Me too…" I replied but my thoughts drifted in amatsu….

It was dawn we reached the city , we helped the villagers set a place to stay in the city, Rui was right I saw auntie across the bridge when we set foot at coast. As vyse went to his mother. I almost felt my heart was going to burst . "It was almost like back home " I said in a shaky voice , auntie wiped the tears from my cheeks. I almost fell in my knees. " Auntie I almost lost hope finding you" I sobbed

" Look how you've grown.. it was really a long time ago since we both got separated.." My aunt cried of joy " I almost thought I was going to loose you, and for a daughter. "

It was a moment to cry I can't hardly say the right words. " If only your uncle was here… "

" Uncle Richard?" She wondered.

" You father's falcon flew here.. we almost lost hope of finding you. But he didn't stayed here. he was out to set to find you.." auntie said

" where is he?..." I asked

" No.. we don't want to loose you again.. " auntie refused. Since it was almost day break she brought me to their hut where they stayed. I just wanted to stay at the coast and took out a blanket from the hut to sleep under the sky.

" Get some rest dear… promise me you wont leave us..?" my auntie said

" I wont" i said and kissed my aunt at the forehead " I'm just tired just need to rest"

Valenarr went to the coast and laid her blanket as she curled to sleep to keep her mind at ease just for a few hours sleep before day break.

It was before sunlight tough the coast of comodo, I felt a warm hand touch my hair, it was napchore

" Get back to sleep" he whispered as he pulled up the sheet covering me against the cold air of the dawn.

" You came back?" I sat up and looked behind him he was all alone " If you're looking for that monk .. we got separated so I went back here after what happened in amatsu" he said

I did asked for more about rui , I don't even know what to ask , maybe he expected me that I will look for him.

He took off his armor and his inner vest I notice bruises from his back and touched it " The same scars when we fell in the tunnel in byaland" he said

I smiled " Yeah it was the first adventure I had with you " I said. Napchore took his cape and placed behind him as he laydoan on the sand beside her. he pulled me closer to him as he yawned I watch his reactions it was like I'm looking at a ghost

" Why do you look at me like that ? as if im a ghost back from the dead?" He asked

" I almost gave up believeing that you're alive " Valenarr said and looked away from his eyes

" I already knew you will say the same thing… because I already died in your heart?" He looked at me , I was unable to speak that time he was implying about Rui and me.. as I looked in his eyes it seemed sad , it was the first time I saw weakness in his eyes then tears came out

Napchore placed his hand with mine and looked away from me, probably he didn't want me to see him cry, I felt guilt and everything " It was like you're back from the dead .´the words came out from my mouth I don't even know why. The he pulled my hand and kissed it gently.

" Look at the night sky.. see the stars?" he pointed at the southern sky while lying in the sand

" yeah.."

" Those stars… you can't see them at day time….. but they are still above the same sky…. So even you don't see me I will be always watching over you " he said

" Stop talking like that , you sounded as if you're going to leave me again!" I exclaimed

Napchore embraced her tightly " I wish this dawn will be like forever.. It was like death without you.. You know… you're the last thing in my mind when I almost die looking for you.." he said.

" I prayed I saw the sky that time .. .. " then he held my hand in the sky pointing to the stars

I didn't say a word I just listened to every word he say .. I looked at him and then he began to speak " Vale when you need hope just pray …..: then he said…as he loked at the night sky " Freya.. This is the woman I sworn to marry …wherever she goes.. give her hope give what her heart wants.. its her inner strength…"

I looked at him and he was already crying then he embraced me tightly " valenarr when this war ends. …..I want to be with you just like at the beginning ..." he whispered in my ears then he looked at me.. he smiled. I don't even know what to say.. I know he feels what I feel in my heart that's why he cries.. but it was like he was saying goodbye to me…I just hugged him back in return.. somehow he became a part of my heart.. i was never alone .

" Get some sleep… we only got a few hours…." He said. And kissed her in the forehead

We were like youngsters sleeping at the beach during the dawn. It was only a matter of time he woke up and went to the hut I was still lying on my sleep as I slowly watch the sky , the stars faded underneath the crack of dawn I stood up and saw him getting dressed up

" Leaving…" I asked " I'm going to einbroch.. "

" Let me come with you.."

" NO.."

" I'm not what you used to know….." Then I took my things as well, my aunt wasn't able to stop me

" Auntie.. I'll find uncle and bring him back home .. I know he was with you " I said..

" You really got some escuses little miss… " He didn't stop me this time , and it was the last option, since the outbreak took over Amatsu and louyang … prontera gates were closed during the war , he told me that Einbroch was the last option of the open city to Juno.. since they were planning to take the city to end it all up once and for all.. My uncle was there..

As we head back he didn't ask about anything but kept me company when we headto the airship in izlude, He probably knew I would ask about Rui and another reason why he didn't want me to go there. We arrived izlude , the city was heavily guarded.. reminds me of my past, the sky was different under izlude it was dark.

"Storm clouds of Juno" he said.. and the Rogue and the assassin cross. To the air ship for einbroch….
