Riyu: What's so freaky about it, I am just a positive person

Alex: yeah whatever, freak

Riyu: yeah, it takes one to know one

: They glare daggers at each other:

Riyu: Whatever little boy, were is Silima by the way?

Alex: how should I know, I'm not her keeper

Riyu: UUHhh you're useless, let's get on with this. I might kill him if this conversation goes on.

"Don't worry, I mean you no harm. Your friend needs a doctor, or her wound will get worst." Said the shadow as it walked into the sunlight.

Before Alex stood a young man, two or so years older then himself. He held a long wooden bow in his left hand.

Alex stood were he was. This man before him was a complete stranger, why should he trust him. He may look kind but appearances were deceiving sometimes. Keeping his katana raised he kneeled by Silima. As he did he realized he couldn't carry Silima in one hand. He would need both hands to hold her, which meant he couldn't wield his katana.

"I will not attack you, carry her to town. I will follow you behind." The man said.

'Well, I guess if he wanted to hurt us he would have done so already. Even if I tried to fight him, he would probably win.' Returning his sword to its sheath he lifted Silima up into his arms. Carrying her with one arm behind her back and the other under her knees Alex began to walk back in the direction of Torak.

Alex felt nervous as he walked down the road. The stranger unnerved him. Alex glanced behind him, looking suspiciously at the man. The stranger walked a respectful distance behind, and he was carrying his bow on his right shoulder. It was still strung though.

Nervously Alex quickened his pace; he did no know who the man was or were he came from. Alex had more important things that required his attention now. Silima needed a doctor, though she tried her best to not show that she was in pain. As Alex looked at the girl in his arms he noticed that she clutched something in her hands. When he looked closer he noticed it was a small bit of Riuku Fu.

He hadn't notice that she had pick any of it up, in fact he had completely forgot about the plant until just then. He felt something strange in the pit of his stomach. He shook his head and picked up the pace again, the stranger following behind.

Arrive at Torak

Alex hurriedly entered Torak's main gate as he headed toward the doctors house. The town's doctor, Dr. Gordon, was very kind and would treat anyone he felt deserved his assistance. If you couldn't pay for the treatment he would have you help him with other patients or do something else to repay him. Alex hurried through the crowd as he made his way to the doctors. It was still crowded as he made his way through the market place. All the people made it difficult as her pulled Silima closer to him.

As he maneuvered around a lady in a yellow dress, and he bumped into a big burly man from behind. The man turned around as he glared down at Alex. Alex glared back, as he tried to move around him. But the man stepped in his way, blocking his path.

"Watch out, I'm in a hurry!" Alex spat at the man, he didn't have time for this. The man looked like a gorilla as he sneered down at Alex. Alex glared back, unconcerned by the bigger man. He tried to side step him but the man just got in his way again. Glaring up at the man Alex was about to make an angry remark when he was interrupted. The man from before, who had saved him an Silima, stepped in between him and the other man. He stared at the other man with steely blue eyes, it was a deadly glare. Though he was tall, he had a slight body structure, but he was able to intimidate the larger man. The man looked away first, then backed off letting Alex pass.

Alex turned down a smaller street, and stopped out front off a large wooden house. A sign hung in the front with the doctors name on it in red letters. He walked up to the front door, but then realized he would have to free one of his hands to knock. The door was opened before he could make up his mind.

In the doorway stood a little woman with white wispy hair. It was the Doctor's wife, Mrs. Elien. When she saw Alex and the other man with an injured Silima she beckoned them in. "Come in, there is a room were she can stay." They were lead into a room with a long bed in one corner and a fireplace. Alex placed her on the bed on top of the blankets. He would have liked to stay in the room but Mrs. Elien ushered him and the other man out of the room. The doctor had entered Silima's room and was tending to her wound. Mrs. Elien led them to a warm kitchen and sat them down at the table.

"While Silima is looked after why don't you two relax in here? Alex, I hope you are well, by the way. Who is your friend? I have not seen you in town before." She poured tea for them and sat down in an empty seat. "Well, Silima and I were out in the fields gathering herbs. When we were coming back we were attacked by bandits. Silima was wounded and i couldn't hold them off. Then we were saved by him and he accompanied me here." Alex explained. They both turned to the young man.

"Well, I was on my way to Torak when i saw them attack. By the way I haven't properly introduced myself." Standing he introduced himself, "My name is Jenos Arok, I come from the northern town of Riva." He bowed slightly to them, then took his seat again. "It is nice to meet you Jenos-kun." Mrs. Elien said smiling at Jenos warmly. They sat together and drank their tea. Jenos told them a little about himself. He was 19; he had been traveling for a while. He had a sister and brother who still lived in Riva. Mrs. Elien cleared off the table when they had finished, and was washing the dishes. Jenos got up and walked over to a small window that looked out of a small garden. As he stood their Alex heard him whistle a high clear note. A moment later a small sparrow landed on the window seal next too Jenos.

Gentle he lifted the sparrow on his hand, leveling it with his face. Alex heard him say in a quite voice," Hello little bird. You are so small but so pretty and strong," then turning to Alex, the bird still on his hand," Would you not say your friend was like a little bird." When he said the last word the little bird spread its wings an flew out the window and up into the clear blue sky.
