The Seven Realms series belongs to Cinda Williams Chima.

Fiona and Han reach their destination. This was the time where Han would be tested. If he can live up to that promise.

Han and Fiona were in this open garden like park. It had big green trees with dark wood, the big green leaves almost make it hard for sun to almost come down. It wasn't too dark nor was it too light enough but it was the right amount of light. There were rose bushes around this little relax area. There were wooden benches and at the center, was a open wooden structure with a roof on top. It gave Han one of those romance, fantasy vibes. Reminds him of those books he used to read when he was a kid. Han also saw this green house a few feet away from the wooden structure. It looked overgrown with vines around it, like it hasn't been touch in ages.

"How does it even grow without much sunlight coming down?", Han thought. Fiona and Han walked to the wooden structure, where they proceeded to put their books, their book bags, and their cloaks on the wooden floor. Han took off his black coat and set it on the wooden rails of the structure. He then sat cross leg on the floor, picking up one of the books Fiona brought. "How to use Light spells without blinding yourself. I wonder the person who wrote this must've blinded himself and asked someone to finish it for him", Han thought. Han put the book down and look at Fiona.

Fiona was tying her long platinum blond hair into a braid so it wouldn't get in the way. She then roll up the sleeves of her blue dress. When Fiona notice Han was staring at her, she grab the helm of her dress and pulled it up a little to show her pale leg. "Like what you see Alister?", Fiona said flirtatiously. Han looked away, blushing a deep red. "Calm down Alister... calm down... think...think of something else...", he thought. His mind turn towards Cat, her black curly hair, her pretty brown eyes, her soft dark skin, her sweet kisses, her loving embrace, and her-

"STOP... STOP... it's making it worse," Han thought loudly. His light skin was getting even more red. Fiona laugh, she put her dress down and walked towards Han and the pile of books. She sat on her knees in front of Han a picked up a book. "Offence and Defence 101, this should help us with today's lesson." Han smirk and thought; "can I be the one to do offence?" When Fiona saw his face, she knew what he was thinking. "How about I do offence?" Han looked cautions. "Nuh uh, I don't trust you being gentle". Fiona rolled her eyes, "says the one who pushed me away. Relax Alister, we're on school grounds.If you were to die, I would be in serious trouble because I was with you last." She is right but her father is the High Wizard, Han bet Lord Bayar will hide his "accident" from public knowledge. But then again, Dean Abelard wouldn't want her students to somehow died and hidden away.

Han looked at Fiona cautiously. He then remember how he wants to get Fiona's trust. He really needed her help against the High Wizard. It might be hard, considering it's her he's talking about. But the way Fiona ask for Han's help without Lord Bayar or her brother knowing, means she's not really on her father's side. Also, Han wanna get this over with. Han swallowed his pride, and nodded to Fiona with approval. Fiona smiled, "good, let's get started, shall we?".

Both of them stood up and spilt away from each other. Han was one side and Fiona was on the other. Fiona brought the book up to her face. "Basic offensive spells." she lowered the book down, "do you need the book for defensive spells or do you know one?" "I know one", he said. Fiona nodded, "alright, ready?" Han nodded. Fiona put the book down and grab her amulet. "lucendi fulmine terres!", a lightning bolt shot out from Fiona's hands. Han had grab his amulet, he had the defensive spell ready, "lux clypeus!" A dome of light surrounded Han. The lightning bolt hit the dome and ricochet off of it, hitting a tree near by. The tree was left with burn marks, luckly, nothing caught on fire.

Fiona was shocked that Han put up a defensive spell up right away. It made her feel impressed now. "Very impressive... impressive indeed", Fiona had a hungry look in eyes. Han sense danger before she even look at him with those eyes. "Watch it Bayar, we're just here for this class assignment." Fiona still had that look in her eyes but nodded in agreement. She took a offensive position, "try a different defensive spell, there are many types to go around." Fiona tossed the book to Han. He looked through the defence chapter, and saw this spell for a physical shield. "Alright, I'm ready", he took up a defensive stance. Fiona hold her amulet with her left and raised her right hand, "hastam ignis!" A fire spear went out Fiona's hand.Han had his amulet ready, "glacies murum!" A ice wall form in front of him, it was the size of a door. As the fire spear made impact to the ice wall, it exploded, breaking the wall.

The explosion cause Han to fly back, landing on the grass floor hard. "BLOODY FUCKING BONES!" Fiona looked at Han with a extremely shocked and concerned look in her eyes. She ran towards Han, kneeling beside him. "Sweet Hanalea, I'm so sorry Han! I'm sorry! Han tried to sit up, but the best he could do was use his arms for support. Han grunted in pain, "it- it's fine... I'm fi-" Han was interrupted when Fiona hugged him. "I'm sorry... sorry... so wsorry..." Fiona was begging to cry.

Han was seriously confuse. Fiona, the Ice Queen, the one who is always rude to everone, this spoiled brat... was crying.

Fiona hug tightly around Hans neck, crying still. Han didn't know what to do or say. He just sat there, letting her hug him. He didn't push her away or nothing. When Han was out of his trance, he put his right arm around Fiona and huggged her awkwardly. "Hey now... it's- it's fine... I- I'm alright...", she was still crying, not letting go. Han's pain was fading a bit, he was able to move himself in a comfortable sitting position. He then move his left hand towards Fiona's shoulder and pushed her gently. Fiona slowly let go of Han, He then saw her face. Her eyes were red, tears streaming down both eyes. She tried wiping them away but it just keeps coming. Han sigh, he used his sleeves to wipe away Fiona's tears.

"Fiona... look at me, I'm fine." Han lift Fiona's head so she can see him. Han got a good look at her blue eyes, she was genuinely sad. No crocodile tears or anything, she was crying real tears. "What's a matter? Why are you crying?", Han said. Fiona was getting a little sad now, "it- it's just that... I was afraid... I put to much... force. I was afraid I was... gonna kill you..."

"I didn't know you care." Fiona now was upset, "of course I care! You... you... you make me..."

It was confusing, Han had no idea what made Fiona feel this way about him. Ever since that time in the library, Fiona has been nicer towards Han a lot. Fiona ask him if they could study together. Han was reluctant but agree because Dancer was busy, and Han needed to catch up because he was falling behind in class. They study and study and during those times, they have talk a lot besides studying. Han didn't always like Fiona but he had to try being friendly with her so the atmosphere wouldn't feel tense. They talked about a lot of things. Mostly about magic and the books they both read. Turns out, they read about the same books. During their time together, even if it wasn't for long, Fiona saw him as a friend. A friend who she can talk to for most things. She couldn't talk about her favorite things to her brother Micah. They may be twins, but they were opposites.

She felt lonely with her brother and her cousins. But with Han, she never felt lonely.

If she killed Han just then, then she would have been all alone again. That's why she was crying, she didn't want that. Han knew, and knew what to say next.

"Fiona... don't worry. You won't be alone. I'm right here", Han said, with a smile on his face. Fiona staired at Han, surprised. She stop crying and hugged Han again. She felt happy, really happy. Han... will Han hugged her back and this time, he gave a real hug. They just sat there, hugging. Neither of them wanted to move or stop hugging. Fiona didn't try to kiss Han, she did none of the flirty stuff. They just sat there.

Sat there as friends.
