Fantasy The True Strength of The Warrior

[Xillia]

She let out a gentle sigh and shook her head, "You don't owe me anything, I needed you here to help me." She looked up at the dawning sky, "Now... let's go get Artorias."

 

[Cadin shadow lord]

"Okay." he said "Do you know where he is staying." he asked.

 

[Xillia]

"The local nurse's house." She nodded as she set out into the chilled morning air, walking down the road to the large wooden home.

 

[Cadin shadow lord]

Isaac followed behind quietly anxious to see their friend again.

 

[Xillia]

They reached the house and Christina knocked gently on the heavy wooden door.

 

[Cadin shadow lord]

"Are you sure they can hear that." Isaac said chuckling a little.

 

[Xillia]

"No... No... That woman answered the door last time..." She remembered the smile that lady had given her, suddenly, out of jealousy, and concern, she slowly opened the front door, as she snuck in. She walked near the bedroom where she could hear noises and she turned the corner quickly, "Artor-" She stopped flat in her sentence as she had walked in on Claire and himself doing something that nearly almost brought her to her knees. She just swallowed a deep lump in her throat after Claire had shrieked, and quickly ran out of the house. She grabbed Issac's arm on the way out, "Come on Issac... We have to go...!"

 

[Cadin shadow lord]

"Ow Ow Ow bad arm." he said but he couldn't really do much but what could have made her run he thought to himself.

 

[Xillia]

She kept a firm hand around him as she dragged him along, silently wiping tears from her eyelids. She did have feelings for him, she thought he knew that, but she wasn't 'woman' enough for him, she carried on sadly, this entirety of events had lowered her self-worth dramatically.

 

[Cadin shadow lord]

"Are you okay?" Isaac asked "What's wrong what happened in there?" he asked

 

[Corrupted Artorias]

( quick question, did Claire shriek because she saw Christina? )

 

[Xillia]

(Yes.)


Christina ignored his remark and kept walking down the road.

 

[Cadin shadow lord]

"Hello" Isaac said "Still here"

 

[Xillia]

She let go of him and turned to face Issac, "I don't want you travelling with me anymore..."

 

[Cadin shadow lord]

"Where did that come from and i'm not leaving until you tell me what's wrong." he said

 

[Corrupted Artorias]

"What's wrong Claire?" Artorias asked, laying down next to her, afraid he might have hurt her. "That blonde bitch came in here!" Claire said, anger evident in her tone. "Oh for the love of..." Artorias sighed, shaking his head, "I knew she was a bitch, but really? Breaking and entering?"

 

[Xillia]

"I... I can't..." She put her hands on her head in pain as she slowly started to lose it, "Stop... following me." She turned around and began to leave, she needed time alone to deal with this and she wasn't sure what she was going to do after her meltdown was over.

 

[Cadin shadow lord]

"Hey!" Isaac said "You're still not super-human." he said "I'll be in the abandoned building." and with that he turned and left.

 

[Xillia]

She walked off, until she found a distant and plain hill for her to sit on as she unleashed tears into her cloak, a major portion of her life was destroyed, she'd lost it, she wasn't thinking straight and everything hurt. She stared at the massive kingdom of Lord Kerain off in the distance, suddenly, she just gave up and stood to her feet, beginning the long walk towards the capital, or until some soldiers found her weakened on the road and took her there.

 

[Cadin shadow lord]

Isaac continued to wait for hours for Christina to return but she didn't.

 

[Xillia]

Claire had an angry expression on her face, "I can't believe she ever saved your life..." As she billowed in rage she let things slip, "I should have charged her more to let me take care of you for the week!"

 

[Corrupted Artorias]

Artorias rose an eyebrow, "Charge her more to take care of me?" He stared at the wall, processing the information and turning towards Claire, glared at her, teeth bared "So you're saying she was paying you to take care of me? How funny, I thought you said she left me here for a 'real' woman to take care of me." Artorias stood up, looking down on Claire.

 

[Xillia]

Claire pressed her index fingers together sheepishly, "well... actually... She left you in my care for the weak until you healed and she was going to come get you back today..."

 

[Rook]

((crap... a lot happened while i was gone))

 

[Xillia]

(Take some time to figure it all out.)
