Larten razed his sword into the dark night sky. As he walked back his back touched Kida's. Larten could see one bandit slowly walking to him and the bandit with the arrow farther off behind. Kida had trouble of her own. The female bandit and the other male one walked toward her as well. Larten was just able to dodge the first arrow, but the bandit saw this as a good time to attack. He lashed out his sword at Larten but he quickly brought up his sword to meet it. Then he thrust his sword at the bandits chest. But he missed by an inch! Meanwhile kida flung fire at the other two bandits keeping them at bay. Larten saw on bandit get half of his face burnt off by a speeding ball of fire! Then larten was exposed and the archer took notice of this! He shot his deadly arrow toward larten, but the life saver Kida struck it down with fire! While she was buissy helping Larten she was pinned to the ground with a knife agents her throat.

Verikk's experience in the forest allowed him to see clearly in the night. He saw Kida was in danger, he used his Flux tome to strike down the badit. He backed away soon after, it'd be best to wait for the bandits all to be killed, before they turned on him. Larten and Kida took care of the rest, and Verikk tried to contact them. They looked at him wide-eyed, not sure to greet him or to strike him down. He told him his story, and about his farther, about the awakening he had, about everything. Hoping it'd convince there anger.

Kida ran. She ran with the power of the wind and the power of the dragon's at her back. She obliderated any tree or shub that got in her way. She ran. She ran for the south. She ran for Nabata, for Arcadia. She ran for her mother.

They both stared at Verikk, as he was about to speak, they attack him. Larten's sword was thrashing at Verikk, but he just looked down crying. Larten lowered his sword, he hadn't the heart to attack someone who possed no threat to him. He used a vulinery on his wounds, hoped on a horse and ran after her, with Larten following behind. As days past they finnaly caught up to her. Verikk got off his horse, ran to her, and hugged her. "I love you" he said to her.

"I...Im sorry. my heart belongs to another. Im so sorry. Your my best friend, Verikk." She said back. They stayed embraced while Larten looked on, amazed at how fate treats the good. "Who...what did your father do that was so bad?" Kida asked, eyes full with tears.

Tal finally got to the small home. He stepped inside and was greeted by his best friends family. He greeted his best friend's wife and thay caught up on old times as the 2 kids played with his lockpick, amazed that he could open any door with it.

"He tried to kill my mother, He become enraged over something, probally something small, something as small as what enraged me" Verikk told her. He was looking down now, guilt making his head feel heavy. Kida felt sorry for Verikk, and something told her that he felt as if he was as bad as his farther. "Your not your farther Verikk, what he did was horrible, but that was him" She said. "You saw my rage, I am just as my farther is!" He cried out. "You didn't know you had such a rage in you, your always so calm, but now you know, and you'll learn from your mistakes" she said calmly. Verikk knew this was true, some guilt was lifted, but the bulk of it remained.

"Verikk, lets just all calm down and lets go to see my family." Larten said. "Why do you want to go there so bad?"Asked verikk. "I want to see mt wife and kids, and my good friend, who will join us in our quest, Tal." Larten replied. Kida's expression changed. "Tal?" She asked. "Looks like a ninja, hes a thief? that Tal?" She asked. "Yes." Larten replied. "Oh, gods above! Tal! He lives! My one true love, He lives!" She sang out to the heavens.

Verikk froze, looked down, and held back his tears. He took out his map, and figured out a good path to Larten's home. He pointed, he walked, not saying a single word. The guiding feeling took over once more, he was about to meet his real love....very soon.

Kida felt awful. She wanted so badly to make Verikk happy, to help him find his way, but all she did was make his life more clouded. She imagined seeing Tal. The last time she remebered him was after the bandits had taken her. He had tried to fight them, but he was too little. He was small for thier age. Even she was talled than him. Kida had not found her calling in magic then, so she could do nothing to stop the men. A sage named Pent had saved her from the bandits. He had directed her to magic. She was eternlly greatful to him. And now she was going to see him. The boy who she thought to be dead. The boy who had her heart, and whos heart she had.

"its been awile." said larten to tal and his wife. Lartens wife jumped up and hugged him. Tal stood up and shook his hand and staired at Kida, she had been silent the whole time.

"Tal." Kida said. "Kidatashi..." he replied. He had always called her that. they hugged. "i thoguht you were killed." he said. "A sage named Pent rescued me from the bandits." She replied. "Oh." tal said. I need to go out and cool off in the lake." tal added. "anyone eles need to come?" He asked. Eveyone said no. So Tal went out to swim in the lake, not knowing what was wiating for him.

Tal stepped right into the trap on the way to the lake. he was in the woods when five bandits came out of the trees and attacked. he fought them off, killing two and wounding another. "This is for the on you killed in the fort! 'the bandit yelled "That was my brother!" Then the axe made contact with him. There was a few moments of intense pain, and then, paradise.

"Where is he! hes been gone for an hour!" Kida paniked. She and larten when out to look for him. Then they found it. It was in a clearing in the forest. There were two dead bandits and...Tal. He was dead. Kida ran to his body and wept. "No! Come back! Tal! Noooooooooo!" Kida screamed. larten patted her on the sholder as he stared at the corpse of his best friend. They buried him the next day. he was layed to rest by the house and his resting place was marked by a tombstone carved by kida's magic. Kida cryed for the entire day. And evey night since for a while, she cried herself to sleep, clutching his lockpick to her chest.
