"How sad..." Cali said quietly, Her features were soft, she smiled at him, "I'm no warrior, I'm much too clumsy..." She giggled a cute girlish laugh, "I'm sure your amazing in combat..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Veinna sas amin ille elvenon?" (It doesn't bother you that I am an elf?)
-----------------------
In plain english Cali respoonded with a smile, "I was raised by elves... I'm horrible at speaking the language myself... but I understand fluently." Cali's eye's shimmered in the light, "Nothing is wrong with elfs, the only difference between you and me is our lifespan and our ears, and that's not even a big deal."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locien smiled, "Finally a human that doesn't cower at the site of and understands me, you know?" He said with a laugh, "There's this one elven kid back at my camp, he calls me the grim reaper, I mean sure, i've killed my fare share of well everything, but everytime I hear him call me that I just laugh."
------------------------------
Cali giggled and tucked her hair behind her ear nervously.
She smiled at Locien and touched his scar again, her hands were soft and it must have felt like she wasn't touching him at all.
"Did this hurt... when you got it?" Cali asked as if mesmorized, "Oh... I mean, of course it did, I'm being silly..."
She let her hand fall into the water.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Here" Locien said, "I'll show you the full scar." Locien removed his head scar to reviel the full extent of the scar, it ended where his right eye should be. "This is the full extent of what happend that night, I got caught off balance, and well I think the rest is self explanitory."
------------------------
Cali looked at his scar in awe, "That must have hurt so much..." She barely whispered.
She went closer to him, put her soft hand on his cheek, and kissed his eye.
"That didn't hurt, did it?" She asked quietly in her beautiful girly voice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"No" Locien said, "The wound fully healed about a year ago." He said while putting his head scarf back on. "Since then If anything touches my right eye I simply feel nothing."
---------------
Cali slid closer to Locien, "You said you were the commander of something... Scoia'tael, was it? That must be difficult..." Cali seemed intregued by everything Locien said, "Personally, this is my first time away from home... I've never heard of a 'Scoia'tael' before..." Cali's eyes were set on Locien's, she smiled an adorable smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The Scoia'tael are freedom fighters, they're myths of us killing women and childern, these of course are false, every man that we killed was simply because the failed to understand the elven way of things and tried to remove us, as a result they simply died."
------------------------------
"Wow..." Cali said with a smile, "Freedom fighters? That's so cool..."
A voice echoed on the other side of the lake.
"Caliana!! Caliana!!"
"Oh crap..." Cali's eyes went wide, "Please, hide me!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Follow me, swim to the shore my stuff is there." Locien quickly jumped out of the lake and put his cloths and equipped all of his weapons, he drew his bow, "Stay behind me okay?"
-------------------
Cali paniced, "I have no cloths..." She whispered, "Their on the other side of the lake..."
Her blue eyes shimmered as if she were about to cry, "I can't go back there..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locien took of his tunic, " Here put these on."
-----------------------------------
Cali jumpped out of the water, "Thank you." She said quickly as she put on the tunic.
"Where are we going?" She asked quietly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Back to my camp, I'm sure, Fay, or Lorelle, or Saskia can give you some clothes." Locien ran back to camp, and entered Lorelle's tent, "Do you have any spare clothes for my friend here?"
------------------------
Fay stood up and looked at Cali, "Locien... who is this?"
Cali was holding onto Locien, she was trembling slightly, "Uhm... My name is Cali..." She said quietly.
"Hello, My name is Fay, I have lots of cloths, would you like to come with me?"
Cali looked at Locien wide eyed and terrified, she looked as if she was going to cry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locien looked down at Cali, "Go with Fay she will give you some clothes."
"Not before she tells me what's going on here." Gearlt said, "When I entered the tent I noticed something was wrong right away, tell me what is it?"
------------------------------
Lorelle and Fay exchanged looks, "Girl stuff. Really none of your buisness, Gearlt." Lorelle said with a raised brow.
Cali still clung to Locien, "I'm scared..." She mumbled.
Its true she had never been away from home and now she had run away with a complete stanger, she had reason to not want to leave his side... and reason to be afraid...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'll go with you." Locien said, "Come on Fay before she freezes to death."
Gearlt just sighed, "Fair enough."
------------------------
Fay ran into her own tent and got Cali some cloths that fit her perfectly, Cali insisted at least one thing be pink, so Fay gave her a pink ribbon to tie up her hair.
Even with her hair up Cali looked adorable. But so fragile, even in Fay's worn out archer's cloths Cali looked scared and clueless, she was definatly not the fighter type.
"How's that?" Fay asked kindly.
"Its terrific thank you."
Cali smiled then clung to Locien again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You don't have to be scared, all of my friends are nice, Fay were is she going to sleep tonight? I don't think Saskia would be too happy if a brought a girl home."
-----------------------------------
Cali looked up at Locien, her eyes full of hurt, "Who's Saskia?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"She's my girlfriend." Locien said bluntly
----------------------------------
Cali looked taken aback.
"Oh..." She mumbled in her usual babish girly voice, "You have a girlfriend..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yes I have a girlfriend, she's a mage from the circle and the mother of my daughter."
------------------------------
Cali blinked away tears. She refused to cry.
She looked back in the direction of the lake, wondering if she would ever go back...
Kolby walked up to them, "Locien, who's your friend?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This is Cali, I met her down at the lake when I went for a swim Cali, this is Kolby"
---------------------
"Uhm.. hey..." She mumbled.
"So, you just found her at the lake and brought her back here? Do you know anything about her?" Kolby asked with a raised brow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Not much other then people were looking for her, who were those people any way?" Locien asked out of curiousity.
-----------------------------
"They were my parents... They forced me to come along with them to fight for our country and I find it so stupid..." Cali said as she refused to let go of Locien.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We are fighting for our country too" Locien said bluntly, "We will face the Arens in a few weeks."
-----------------
"What?" Cali's eyes widened and she let go of Locien.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We will be fighting the Arens on the field of battle in a few weeks." Locien repeated himself.
--------------------
"But... oh no... I have to leave..." Cali backed away and turned to run, She ran through the camp looking for a place to hide.
"What's with her?" Kolby said as he stared off to where she ran.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I don't know lets find out." Locien began to run and ccaught up to her quickly, he grabbed her arm, "What's the matter?" he said.
-------------------
"No..." Her eyes were full of tears, "Please, let go... I'm an Aren... Please don't hurt me... please don't hurt me..." Cali was crying now, she collapsed and held out her arms as if Locien were about to hit her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We wouldn't of hurt you, but if you truely want to go back, go right ahead." Locien let go of her arm.
----------------
Cali trembled on the ground for a moment then looked up, "I hate it there... I'm never going back... I'm... just scared..." She said as she wiped her tears, "When you said you were a freedom fighter I guess I just assumed you would help me..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"How would I have helped you?
----------------------
Cali looked up at him with pleading eyes, "You... already have... You have no idea... what they do to girls in the Aren camps... Please, let me stay here..." Cali slowly and cautiously got up, as if she were readying herself to be knocked back down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You can stay , but I must tell the others of the Aren camp, it must be destroyed."
----------------------
Cali looked as if Locien had hit her with all his force, "Your... going to kill everyone... aren't you?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Not the women, childeren or the old, unless of course they attack us."
---------------------
Kolby caught up to Locien, "Oh good, you got her. Did she say anything?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ready the men, there is an Aren camp across the lake, you are to only kill the men, unless some one is to attack you, is that understood?"
-------------------
Kolby nodded, "And what about her?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"She hates it there, she can stay here, she has made a good case, she ran from the Arens because of the way they treat their women."
Locien looked at Kolby, "Go tell eerything to Gearlt now!"
"Cali come with me, you can stay here with Lorelle okay?"
----------------------------
Cali looked around, "I would feel more comfortable in your tent..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I don't know if Saskia would approve..."
-------------------------
"There's no time to think about it, Saskia is staying with Alek and the kids tonight anyways, telling storys and all that, lets go!" Kolby said quickly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Right, go to my tent, come on Kolby lets go!"
---------------------------------------------
"Right, go to my tent, come on Kolby lets go!"
---------------------------------------------
Kolby followed Locien and Cali wandered off to find what looked like Lociens tent.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locien entered Fay's tent, "We got Arens across the river ready the men!"
"Gearlt nodded and ralyed the men, "You are to only kill the men, unless an elderly person or a women and child attack you, is that understood?"
That was followed by a, "Yes sir!" From what remained of Gearlts army, "Now, attack!" The army raced towards the Aren camp, the Aren's had no chance of a counter attack, the battle would be over very quickly.
-----------------------
Cali sat in Locien's tent for only a few moments before a man stepped in.
"Locien?" Cali squinted her eyes to try to make out the man's face in the dark.
The man chuckled and shouted out, "It's this one!!"
A few moment's later Cali was Carried off into the woods where a group of men tortured and raped her in both attempt to get information, and out of bordom.
"LOCIEN!!" Cali screamed over and over.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locien heard her screams, and followed the echo to were the men were"Unhand her right now! Don't make me kill everyone one of you." Locien shouted at the men as he drew his long sword.
---------------------------------
The man who had been raping Cali quickly dropped her, "You must be Locien. Another Aren?" Said the largest of the men as looked over at Cali. He smiled and spit on her naked trembling body.
"Locien..." Cali mumbled happily as tears ran down her cheeks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I am no Aren, I am the leader of the Scoia'tael."
-------------------------------
"Who cares, anyways, let us finish with this bitch then we might give you a turn..." The man grabbed Cali's hair and pulled her off the ground.
"No..!" Cali cryed, "Locien!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locien threw a throwing knife straight into the man's throat, "Who's next?" Locien said with a smile.
--------------------------
The rest of the group smiled, they were ready to fight.
They all pulled out their weapons and charged at Locien.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locien moved from man to man within a blink of an eye, he was bursting with rage he slew all of them until one remained, "You're next buddy." Locien said with a laugh.
-------------------------------------------
The last man backed away and held a knife to Cali's throat, "It'll be a quick death for her if you just leave now..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locien put away his sword and started to walk away with a smile on his face, he had one throwing knife left, he turned around quickly and threw it stabbing the man in the hand causing him to drop the knife, then Locien ran full spped towards the Aren and with one quick movement slit the man's throat causing him to go on he's knees just before he died
Locien said, "Aa' lle naara ten'." (May you burn for eternity) and decapitated the man with one final swing.
He then wiped the blood from his blade and ran towards Cali, "Are you going to be okay?" Locien said with concern in his voice.
-------------------------------------------
Cali looked up at him with her big blue eys then jumped up, giving him a kiss.
"Thank you!" Cali said as she hugged him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You're very welcome" Locien said with a smile, "Quickly we must return to the others." They reached what was left of the Aren camp, the whole place was up in smoke, Locien heared music and laughter coming from his camp, "Looks like the battle is over" Locien said with a smile, "Lets head back to camp."
They ran back to their camp, and the others greeted them.
------------------------------------------
Cali kept looking at Locien with overflowing respect.
Kiara smiled as she looked over at the girl.
"Gearlt, who is that?" Kiara asked him with a grin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"That's Cali, from what I heard Locien kicked ass tonight and saved her, why do you ask?"
--------------------------------------
"No reason... she blocking my powers... Not on purpose of course, I know this is going to sound odd, but she is so in love with Locien that its causing My powers to... not work." Kiara said as she stared at Cali.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What do you mean not work? Like on her, or on everybody?"
"Try it on me and see."
-------------------------------
Kiara focused, "I... I can't... She's drowning out every other feeling... I can usually feel other people's joy or pain and of course love, but her emotons are so strong I just can't sense anything else..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Weird" Gearlt said bluntly. Locien headed towards his tent, and Cali followed of course.
"Okay try again" Gearlt said.
------------------------
"I feel... your confusion of the matter." Kiara said with a laugh, "But it's very faint... she's just... loud. Her emotions I mean, its as if everyone is whispering and she's shouting and I'm trying to hear your whisper. It's just dificult..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Focus" Gearlt said with a soft voice.
----------------------
Kiara closed her eyes...
"Nope. She's too loud... Well, her and Fay." Kiara said as she rolled her eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What does Fay's say" Gearlt said as cocked an eyebrow.
---------------------
"Nothing in particular... its about the other..." Kiara said with a grim smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Come on tell me, if you do i'll get Locien to stop making your squire shit his pants, i'll even pay you, ill even accept that you are better at handling a sword then me."
-------------------
Kiara raised an eyebrow, "If I gave you such information... how would you use it? Would you confront her?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I wouldn't confront her, it's just I'm dying to know who it is plus if it did some how get out I wouldn't rat you out."
---------------------------
Kiara smiled, "Stryder."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gearlt sat there stone faced not moving an inch, "Do you know why?"
---------------------------------------------
Kiara smiled, "Just LOOK at him! How can someone NOT fall in love with the mystery behind the hood... plus you saw baby Keaton... Man makes some pretty babies."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh yes, my loins are aching for him." Gearlt said sarcastically, "Does he love her back?"
-------------------
"Didn't I just finish telling you that my powers weren't working normally?" Kiara snapped.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Right sorry,I ws just I got a bad feeling that all of these feelings are going to come up soon, like I know Lorelle still loves me, and know that I know Fay loves Stryder, you think something bad is about to happen?" Gearlt asked in a serious manner.
-------------------------
"Who care's? I'm better at handling a sword then you." Kiara said with an evil grin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What are we going to do, now we got Cali going after Locien, Saskia is not going to like this."
--------------------------------
"Last time I checked, Saskia doesn't really like anything..." Kiara said innocently.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Are you saying she's using Locien?"
--------------
"Hey, I'm not saying anything, I have disturbed the nature of things enough..." Kiara smiled and went back to her tent, where Andrew was already sleeping like a baby.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gearlt went back to his tent laid down and stared at the celling.
---------------------------------
Fay walked into the tent and sat down next to Gearlt, "I finally got Darren to sleep." She said proudly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Good." He said witha fake smile, "I love you"
-----------------
"I love you too." Fay said as she layed down next to Gearlt, "What's wrong?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Nothing, why do you ask?"
------------------
"Your acting strange..." Fay said quietly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gearlt got closer to Fay, "How so?" He said with a smile.
--------------
"Well... your acting as if you know a secret..." Fay mumbled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gearlt went quiet and just stared at her for a minute.
-------------------------
Fay stared into his eyes, "Gearlt... what do you know?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I...I know you like Stryder."
--------------------------------
Fay's mouth hung open, "What?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Is it true?"
--------------
Fay sat up, "What are you talking about? Who told you- oohhhh shit. Kiara told you didn't she?"
Fay fell into her pillow in defeat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Maybe"
------------
Fay looked over at Gearlt, "I'm so sorry...." She mumbled,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sorry for what? Loving Stryder?"
--------------------------
Fay simply nodded.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Gearlt just nodded. There was nothing left to say, "Now what?"
--------
"I... I don't know... Do... Do you love Lorelle?" Fay asked Gearlt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I thought I did at one time, but shes more of a friend now." Gearlt said plainly
-----------------
"She loves you..." Fay said simply.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"She does? Did I tell you the first time I met her she was a man?" Gearlt said with a slight laugh.
------------
Fay giggled, "Uhm, isn't that a turn off at all?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You remember Unwin right? That was her, the spell wore off the night I went to the dwarven kingdom, and Unwin was tenting with me when I rolled over and seen a women I damn near shit my pants." Gearlt said with a laugh
-----------------
Fay giggled and then let out a small yawn, "I love you Gearlt... goodnight..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I love you to Fay, goodnight."
--------------------------------------
Cali woke up the next morning in Locien's tent, They had slept in the same tent but to her disapointment, nothing at all had happened.
She stood up, stretched and peeked her head outside, not a cloud in the sky... This truely was a beautiful country...
Cali looked both ways then slowly exited the tent.
"What are you doing in there?" A harsh voice asked.
"You almost gave me a heart attack!!" Cali said as she fell to the ground.
"Well, good." The woman said with an angry look, "Why are you exiting my tent?"
"I... I just..."
"Locien! Explain yourself!!" Saskia shouted into the tent.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locien got up and ran outside, "We didn't do anything I swear, she had no other place to sleep." Locien said with a bit of panic in his
voice.
-----------------------------------------
"Oh really?" Saskia raised an eyebrow and put one hand on her hip.
Cali got up of the ground and brushed herself off, "I'm sorry..." She said quietly.
"You better be sorry!" Saskia shouted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locien just stood there not knowing what else to say.
------------------------------------
"Daddy... why is mommy yelling?" Raina asked as she walked up to them sleepily rubbing her eye.
Cali looked away, she felt as if she was tearing apart this child's family...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Because mommy thinks I cheated on her, I waited for you for five years, why would I cheat on you now that your back?" Locien said as he stood his ground.
-------------------
Cali looked over at Saskia who was smiling smugly.
"I'll... see you later then...." Cali said as she walked out of camp a little to be alone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yeah" Locien said then he turned back to Saskia, "You honestly think i'd cheat on you?"
--------------
Saskia stared at Cali until she dissapeared into the tree's.
"For that girl... yes." Saskia looked down at her own body, Cali was an obvious choice ou of the two, Cali was chestier and thinner, her overall looks were adorable and sweet. Saskia just smiled at Locien, "So, what's for breakfest?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What would you like?" Locien said with a fake smile.
--------------------
"Anything really." Saskia said as she picked up Raina.
"That girl was pretty daddy." Raina said with a smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Right" Locien said as he started the fire, and roasted some deer, and went to go fetch some water to drink, "Breakfast is ready" Locien said as he each gave them a plate and a chunck of meat, and a cup of water.
"Careful Riana it's hot, you wouldn't want to burn yourself."
-------------------------------------------
Raina ate her food as if it were a race.
Saskia stared at her with a raised brow then looked over at Locien.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Is there something wrong?" Locien said to Saskia.
------------------
"Our daughter seems to be trying to swallow her own head." Saskia said as she looked over at Raina who was still eating as fast as possible
"Done!" Raina said as he held out her plate, "Can I go now?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yes you can go play now." Locien said with a smile. As he ate his breakfast, he noticed Wolfe walking by, "Morning Wolfe!" Locien shouted Wolfe looked at Locien and gave him the middle finger, "Damn elves" He mumbled to him self and waddled away.
Locien turned to Saskia, "Was it something I said?"
------------------------
Saskia laughed.
Rania tugged on her fathers shirt.
"Daddy!! Daddy!!" Raina whinned ergently, "I gots to ask you somethings!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yes, what is it, what did you want to ask me?" He said with a smile.
------------------------------------
"Its a secrettt!!" Raina whinned, "I gots to whisper so get real close!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locien leaned down towards Riana his ear close to her mouth, "Okay, what's the secret?" He asked with a smile on his face.
-------------
"I want you to take me to that pretty girl in the forest! Pleaassseeeeeeeee?" Rana whispered as she jumpped up and down, "But mommy can't know, she doesn't like The pretty girl..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locien whispered into her ear, "Did you want to go right now?"
------------------------------
Raina nodded furriously.
"NOWW." She whinned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alright then come on, ill take you for a walk, ill see you later today Saskia?"
--------------------------
"Sure, bye." Saskia said as she continued to eat.
Raina almost dragged Locien into the forest.
In the distance they heard a small poping sound.
"Crap..." Cali's voice echoed throught the woods.
"Daddy over here!!" Raina ran into a small clearing where Cali was snapping her fingers trying to create a flame in the palm of her hand, one of the most simple spells, if that's your element. But Cali was obviously having trouble with this simple spell.
She snapped her fingers again, making another poping sound and a small spark.
"Ugh! It's no use!!" She groaned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Having trouble?" Locien said with a small smile.
-------------------------------
Cali looked up quickly, "Locien! Oh, hey."
"We found her daddy!!" Raina said with a smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Cali" Locien said with a smile, "My daughter is dying to meet you."
----------------------
"My name is Raina!!" Raina proclaimed as she ran up to Cali, "And your supposed to concentrate your energy, like this!"
Raina snapped her fingers, creating a large flame in her hand.
"Oh, WOW." Cali said with a small smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Raina was an apprentice from the circle, I am very proud of her, maybe she could teach you a thing or two." Locien said with a small chuckle as he sat down against a tree, "Don't mind me, continue."
Just then Gearlt came walking through the trees, "I thought I heard your voice Locien."
He sat down next to him, "What's going on?" Gearlt asked
"Nothing much just watching my daughter teach Cali some magic." Locien said with a smile.
"What are you doing out of bed this early Gearlt?"
"Just needed some fresh air" Gearlt said slowly.
"Ah, girl problems I see, well your free to stay here with us." Locien said with a smile.
"Thank you" Gearlt answerd starring at the ground.
--------------------------------------------------
Raina clapped her hands together and a small crack appeared in the ground, but when Cali attempted the same spell the ground caught fire.
Raina quickly put it out with a very simple water spell.
"I'm sorry, I'm so clumsy." Cali said nervously as she blushed over at Locien.
"Don't worry, this is fun! Nobody plays magic games with me anymore, not even mommy..." Raina said as she went back to
snapping her fingers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locien looked at Cali "Come on you can do it, all you need to do is focus." He said with a smile.
Gearlt looked over at Locien "You like her don't you?"
Locien didn't say a word.
"Your secret is safe with me" Gearlt said with a smile.
------------------------------------------------
"Come on, try again!!" Raina said happily.
Cali stared at Raina wide eyed, "How can you use this much energy in one day?"
Cali layed back in the grass, tired.
"Come on!! I was just getting started!!" Raina prompted.
"Give me... a five minute break..." Cali panted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locien went over to Cali, "You okay?" He said with a smile.
---------------------------
"So... tired..." Cali said as she closed her eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gearlt waved at Locien then headed back to camp, Locien laid down next to Cali, "You sure your going to make it?" Locien said jokingly
-----------------------
"Actually, you know what? I think I need a healer. I'm dying... so cold..." Cali said jokingly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Locien wrapped his arms around her, "If you're going to die, I wont let you die cold." He said with a laugh.
-------------------------
Cali blushed, "Uhm..."
Raina smiled, "Can pretty Cali be my new mommy?"
Cali's eyes went wide.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'll think about it." Locien said witth a smile, then he kissed Cali passtionatly.
-------------------------------
Cali moaned quietly as he kissed her, "I... I love you, Locien..." Cali said in her usual girly voice as she blushed.
