Hey guys, sorry it took so long to up date.
I hope you like it!
Two Warriors and a Mage
Wushas POV
I was waching him closley as he was rummiging through the fallen houses. I was trying to decide wether I liked him or loved him.
(How long have we known eachother? How long have i liked him? Does he even like me? If so how long? Will our relationship ever elevate from friendship?)
While I was trying to keep track of my thoughts I didint notice he was next to me untill he grabbed my arm and put it around his shoulders. I looked to what he was holding in his free hand. It was some twine and a few sticks about one to two inches in diameter.
Then I asked "Got what you need?"
He nodded and started to walk only to stop and stare in the distance.
"Whats wrong, are you seeing things again?" I questioned
"I think I am, Keep seeing the same thing over and over again though." He said with a puzzled look on his face.
Then I realised that he had stopped searching several times starring into the distance.
"How many times have you seen it, and what is it?" I questioned him again.
"It's a flash, like the sun is shining off something metal, And ive seen it about six times today." He said with the same puzzled look on his face as before but this time more intense, like he was trying to figure out what it was.
Seewuls POV
"Someones been digging here, be on your guard." I said to Wusha who was now walking on her own, but with a limp.
"Okay." She replied.
We had just returned to the campsite when I noticed the fire was going and it looked like someone has just added wood to it. I walked over to a tree when I noticed the shard from Wushas leg was in it. As I pulled the shard out I read the note carved into the tree.
~Dear marsh-friends, I cant wait to meet you after waching you for the past day.~
(What a strange note.) I thougt to my self. I nearly jumped out of my scales when Wusha ran her finger down my back.
"I see someone left a strange note for us."
Wushas POV
(am i falling for him?) I thought as I ran my finger down Seewusl back again.
"Stop that, it feels werd." He said in a hushed voice.
"Im sorry Seewul." I said.
I felt bad because I had made him feel uncomfortable.
"It's okay as long as you don't do it again." He told me.
(I cant promise that.) I thought as I mindlessly said "Okay." My stomach grolwed. "Im hungry Seeuwl." I didin't eat at all yesterday.
"Well as soon as I finish this." He said while holding the gathered matereals along with the shard out in front of me. "We can hunt, then we will eat."
As he was working on the item I said "Seewul."
"Yes." he said while keeping his focus on the item.
"Thank you... for saving me... you know... back in the village." I managed to say without tears.
He stoped his work for a moment. Then he shrugged his shoulders while saying "Nah, don't worry about it... Im happy that you are allright."
I felt my heart swell, and he must have noticed because I saw a grin spread over his face.
"What's gotten you so happy?" He asked with a smile now.
"Nothing." I said while I giggled.
Seewuls POV
After we were done hunting wesat by the fire talking about random things untill we could stay awake no longer. I noticed that she was fast asleep with her head resting on my chest. normally I would have wanted to ask her to get off. But this time I couldn't will my self to do it. (She had just lossedeverythig in her life. Im just trying to keep her happy.) with that thought I fell asleep.
When I woke up I saw a strange man tending to the fire. I shot up and shouted "Who the hell are you."
All my shouting must have awoken Wusha. When she saw the strange man she too shot to her feet.
He answered my question with his own. "Did you not get the note I carved into the tree for you?"
I was studying him closley, He Was wearing a suit of glass armor without a helmet. Then I noticed he is a ghost!
I then asked again "You didint Answer my question, who are you?"
He had a suprised look on his face. "Oh... where are my manners." He cleard his throat and began to speak again "I am Vermix, Leader of the scales."
We both gave him a strange look.
"I see you two know knothing of us." He said while laughing.
We both shook our heads.
"The scales are an acient order of argonians, even older than the shadowscales themselves." He said while starring into the fire.
"So why are you telling this to us." Asked Wusha.
"We are here to prepare you for the future." He said still starring at the fire.
"We?" I asked him.
"Yes, I have brought the other two members of the shade with me... Skilla, Koro come out and see the younglings." He said
"We are not younglings!" we both said at the same time.
"Trust me, compared to us you are." said a deep voice.
I turned around to see two more ghostly figures aproach us. one was in ebony armor with no helmet and a greatsword made from the same black metal. Behind him walked a slim woman in mage robes with no hood and had a glass dagger on her hip.
"Greetings marsh-friend. My name is Koro." Said the one in the armor. "And this is Skilla, she is not the one to talk much." Koro said pointing towards the mage.
"I think we will start training now. Ha, do you call this a wepon?" Vermix said while snaping my spear in half.
"Well I did call it one." I said elevating my voice.
Wushas POV
I gasped when skilla handed me a hunting bow.
"Let us flee for a while to train, sister." Skilla's voice was a soft wisper.
I just nodded in aproval. Then we were off into the swamp.
Seewuls POV
"Which do you prefer, a greatsword or a sword?" Vermix asked.
"A sword, I guess." I said knowing I couldn't weild anay two-handed wepons.
Before I knew it, a sword steel was thrown in my hands and Koro was sprinting twords me with the ebony blade held high above his head. I had to jump to the side as the sword made a downward slash.
"Ouch!" I yelled as my body slammed into a tree.
Then I felt the ebony blade touch my neck.
"Dead! Be prepared for an atack at anay moment. And watch where you dodge." Said Koro lifting the blade from my neck.
I touched my neck to see if I was still alive then shouted "Are you trying to kill me!"
"If I were trying to kill you you would be dead." Koro said while holding out his hand to help me up.
Wusha's POV
" Have you ever hunted mudcrab before?" Skilla asked while crouching down
"No." I replied.
Skilla took an arrow from her quiver and stringed it, then the arrow was let loose and hit the crab in the eye. She stood up as it let out its final cry.
"Come, I will show you what parts to take." She said walking twords her kill. As I sat next to her she handed me a glass dagger and asked "Now, what do you think we should take?"
"The legs?" I asked
"Yes, the legs are very good in a stew. Now what else is there." She said while pulling the arrow out of the eye socket.
"The eyes?" I guessed.
"Nice guess, but no." She Put the arrow into her quiver.
"Oh, the pinchers." I said remembering they could be used in alchemy.
"Yes, do you know what there used for?" She questioned
"Alchemy." I said cutting off one of the pinchers.
"Yes, now do you know its alchemecial properties?" She asked while pulling of one of the legs.
"No, im not an alchemest." I said while cutting off the other pincher.
"It's alwalys good to know simple recipies, wether your an alchmest or not. Here, chew on this. then spit it back out." She said handing me a pincher.
I grabed it then looked at her. She only nodded. Then I put it in my mouth. As I bit down I
felt alot less tired. Then i spit it out.
"So, how do you feal?" She asked, smiling at me.
"I feal well rested." I told her.
"That is one of its properties, restore stamina." She chuckled.
She reached into her pack and pulled out a pearl.
Then she said "Eat this to."
I took it then put it in my mouth.
"I feel the same way I did when I ate the mudcrab chitin." I said after I spat it out.
"It has the same effect as the chitin." she said while pulling off the rest of the legs.
"So that means if I mix those two together, it will make a restore a stanima potion?" I asked.
"Yes, we must return before the sun goes down." she said while standing up.
"Okay, I cant wait to tell Seewul about what I learned today." I said.
"You like him don't you?" She said over her shoulder.
I felt my scales turn red, replacing my pink ones.
Then I shyly said "Please dont tell anyone."
"Dont worry, your secret is safe with me." She chuckeld.
Seewuls POV
When I heard a twig snap behind me I stood up, spun around, and drew my sword. Then I saw that it was Wusha and Skilla. I sheathed my sword when I saw a look of fear in Wushas eyes. Then she ran foward and hugged me, I didin't know what to say so I just hugged back.
Then she asked "What did you do today?"
After we filled each other in on the deatails I asked "Do you need any help cooking the mudcrab?"
"Shure, I could use some help." she said looking back at me and smiling.
After we cooked the mudcrab I heard Vermix say "Dosen't look like it will feed all five of us."
"You don't need to eat your a gho..." I stoped when I turned around and saw that he was no longer a ghost. "How did you..." he cut me off.
"We drank a potion that would make us look like ghosts so no one would follow us into the woods." he said while chuckling.
"Well im not going back out to get more food, so I guess you can hunt for your selves!" wusha was saying with a hurt tone in her voice.
Then I looked at her and saw that tears were staring to form in her eyes. Then I turned back to Vermix who was now laffing, and punched him in the jaw.
He stumbled back like he was surprised then he said "Your going to pay for that you little bastard."
Then he lunged at me drawing his sword. Then I saw Koro tackle him to the ground. Then Koro stood up and Vermix stayed on the ground twitching.
"He will be out for a while." Koro said as he picked him up.
"I'm sorry about his actions." Skilla said, still sitting by their fire pit.
Then I heard sobing. I turned aroun and saw Wusha sitting on her knees crying.
"Wusha, what's wrong?" I asked while I sat down next to her.
She leaned her head into my chest and said "I've never ben insulted about my cooking."
She started to cry harder. (I never knew she was so sensitive about her cooking) I thought while I put my arm on her back trying to make her feel beter.
"Don't wory about his thoughts, your cooking is amazing and you know that." I said while picking up a mudcrab leg. "Thats why your the lead cook for the village festivles." I said before biting a peice of the leg off.
I heard her crying soften "Yea... I guess so." she said before hugging me.
Then I helped her to her feet and hugged her. Then she kissed me, then I felt my scales turn red.
"Thank you." she said as she turned around to grab the legs still above the fire.
As she turned to take the other three the food I grabbed her arm and said "don't worry about them, Skill went out to hunt a few minutes ago."
"Well I guess theres three for me and two for you." she said, then I gave her a confused look. " Yes I knew you took a peice while I was crying." she said with giggels escapeing in between words.
"Alright you got me." I said with a chuckle.
Then we sat down to eat. I never knew how she could make anay food taste beter than it should be.
"Can you tell me your secret to cooking food?" I asked.
"Nope." she said with a smile on her face.
"Why not?" I asked while I was confused by her smile.
"Because if I told you then it wouldn't be a secret any more." she said while giggling again.
Whushas POV
When we finished our meal Seewul took my plate and set it aside. then he put his sword on his belt.
Then he grabed my bow and said "Follow me, I want to show you something."
I nodded when he put my bow in my hand. After I put it on my back he put his arm around my shoulders and led me into the swamp.
"Where are wee going?" I asked while leaning into his side.
"You'll see." he said with a whisper.
We soon arived at a strange clearing where there was a cricle of pure white stones surounding a medow of dead grass.
"This is where I would go if I was having a bad day. It's so quiet here its almost relaxing." he said while he brought me into the center and sat down. he patted the ground, welcoming me to sit next to him. So I sat down next to him.
"So this is where you whent all the time. No wonder I could never find you." I said as he put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer.
"Yes, no one has ever followed me here. I got lonley here sometimes. Ive always wanted to share this place with someone." he said while looking at the stars.
We sat there talking about random thing for a while.
Then we said "We should probly be heading back now."
"Okay." I said whild standing up with him.
Then I pulled him into a hug and kissed him. Then I felt his arms wrap around me.
I broke the kiss and put my head on his chest and said "Seewul, can I ask you something?"
"Shure, what do you want to know?" he said while he messed with my horns.
"Do you... do you love me?" I said now looking into his eyes.
Then I saw a huge smile spred across his face.
Then he said "Yes."
Then I could feel tears in my eyes. (I've never felt like this before.) Then I felt the tears running down my face only to fall onto his chest. Then he kissed me, only this time it was a diffrent kind of kiss. Then I could feel his toung in my mouth.
Then he broke the kiss and said "We need to go, the Charus like to hunt around this time."
"Okay." I said after kissing him again.
Seewuls POV
When we arived back at the camp we were greeted by Vermix.
He looked Wusha and me in the eyes and said "Wusha, Seewul im sorry for my actions earler. Wusha I didin't mean to offend you, and Seewul sorry I atacked you my mind was... was clouded. Both of you, im sorry."
I looked at Wusha. (Im not going to forgive him unless she does)
"Alright, I forgive you. Just promise me you won't do it again." she said to him.
Then I told him "I'll forgive you to, as long as it dosen't happen again."
Then he hugged both of us. Then he let us go.
"Thank you." he said before turning around.
"You two love birds should get some sleep now." Skilla said from the fire.
Then we cwralwed into our tents and fell asleep.
Im guessing I will be able to update twice a week.
Please review, they are wanted!
I may atempt a lemon very soon.
