Annete nodded and hid behind a tree. Would he be alright? That bear looked strong with that big arm and sharp claw. Well, Silvine was a soldier, he should have known what to do in this situation. She could only pray for him.
"Be careful, Silvine." She was worried but chose to believe in him, he would defeat that bear, he had to. If only she could do something to help him...

" Dont worry Annete. I'll take care of this-"
He was talking too much. The bear quickly swiped with its claws at Silvine, knocking him bavk. He fell hard on to a tree.
Silvine was dizzy already from the fall, but he couldnt get time to rest. He needed to take down that bear.
The bear advanced further in for another swipe. Silvine anticipated carefully and moved a step backto dodge, then he did a downwards strike with his lnce, knocking the bear back.
The bear got more fierce and pounced on Silvine. Silvine kicked the bear to get him off but the bear was cling on to his armor. Silvine thrusted hi lance on to the bear's side and the bear ot off of Silvine with some pain.
Silvine took a few steps back to regain some energy. But unfortunately at this point the bear noticed Annete and it ran towards her.
" Annete! Watch out!" Silvine screamed.

OoC : Sorry, my friend suddenly came to pick me up yesterday
BiC :
Annete really wanted to run but her legs was frozen by fear. She only stood here, leaning in a tree and looking at the bear. She wanted to scream but her voice didn't come out. The dancer closed her eyes as the bear ran towards her. She could hear the sound of heavy footsteps coming to her.
"I...I will die here? Really? Now?" Her tears began to flowing out. With her trembled lips, she screamed, "Sil-Silvine!!! Help me!" He was the only one she could depend to now. Her legs was felt weak and her body slowly slide down, she was saved because of that. The bear's claw landed on the place where her head was leaned before with scary sound of the crushed wood.
"Silvine!!!" She could only sat on the ground, waiting for him to help her.

OoC: Its ok. I mean, we're kinda stuck anyways.
IC: " Good grief!" Silvine said when the bear missed Annete. But they were'nt out oftrouble just yet.
Silvine quickly sped forward and jabbed at the bears arm, allowing it the retreat a few steps away from Annete. The bear growled at Silvine and tried in for another swipe, but this time Silvine reacted properly and ducked to jab at the bear's abdomen. He quickly kicked the bear in the gut and piecred the bear's neck to get rid of it.
" So, now would you rather come out of this place, Annete?" Silvine stood there with a sacastic smile.

"Th-Thanks..." Annete tried to stand up then slowly walked towards Silvine and the dead bear. "Are you hurt, Silvine?" She placed her hand on his shoulder and looked at the younger guy with her red eyes, he looked fine, he just got few scratches on his armor. She smiled at relief.
"Let we look for someplace to rest. You must be tired. We can leave this place after that.

" I... I am fine Annete. And yes, I am pretty tired. We must find a place to rest. Do you see the town up ahead? I believe we can rest at that inn. It would do us well to rest, Annete. We have been through a struggle."
Silvine showed lots of exhaustion on his face. He was really tensed while fighting that bear, he was sweating like he had never before. Wow. He would have to deal with more such threats in future.
Silvine made his way towards the town. He glanced back at Annete. " You coming?"
OOC: Well I've been having exams, so I just managed to get this post in. Hopefully I'll be active after tomorrow.

Annete nodded and followed him, she couldn't refuse. After what he did to save her, he deserved to sleep on a warm bed in the inn. "Of course. But...wait. Don't move." She took a handkerchief from her bag and began to wipe sweats in his face. Their eyes met at the moment she tried to wipe sweats on his forehead. She answered their eyes contact with a sweet smile and continued her work. "Done, it is better now. By the way, thank you for saving me."
"I wonder if they have enough room for us. I heard most of the inn around this area was crowded with people who watched my dance two days ago. And for some reason, most of them are still staying here."

"Is that so? Well then, we'll set up a tent here. I cannot just let you by yourself anyways."
He smiled and said," You are welcome, milady. Do not fear too much. Such scum are nothing. I am sure there are more frightening moments to come, and we shall handle them."
" For searching for your medicine... the best would be at the library at the capital. Are you interested?"

"You are a gentleman, Silvine." Her cheeks slowly turned red. Didn't he know? His words were too sweet. Annete felt happy as she heard that he would stay beside her. It felt like having someone protecting her. "I think it is better to set the tent quickly before dark." Wait...How many tents did he have? It would turn to be awkward if they had to share a tent.
"About that, actually Saffra said a same thing. She suggested me to go to Etruria capital." She nodded as he said about going to capital. It might be the best solution possible for her now. "Don't worry too much about that, Silvine. I still have a year or two." She smiled despite she just said something foolish about her own life.

Silvine frowned. She said she had a year or two without any sign of sadness? That was a bit too harsh.
"Annete,do not say that! You're scaring me to death! "
He turned away and said," I'll set up a tent. I realized that we cannot share the same tent so.... you sleep in that tent, and I'll sleep near those tress over there. I'll keep a watch on anything that moves."
" If Saffra said that we'd have to go to the etrurian capital, then we might as well head there. She must have gone off while we were sleeping. That's where we'll go first thing in the morning, ok?"

"Aah...I am sorry, Silvine." She gasped as she heard SIlvine yell. "I am just...well, it is the fact. I am just trying to accept it." She turned away too, she didn't understand what she had said actually. The dancer walked towards a tree and leaned in it. She waited for SIlvine setting up the tent.
"But...she said she would meet us in the morning. And she will probably go to the orphanage thinking that we are still there. If only she told us where she went to sleep yesterday." She couldn't decide to go to capital or look for her. "And I..."
She hadn't finished her words when she felt a raindrop on her cheek. "Huh?" She looked up, the clouds were black and raindrops were falling from the sky.

" Well Annete, we cannot search for her in this forest any longer. Do you want more wild animals to attack us?"
He noticed slight drizzling. It would pour down hard soon. Silvine needed to set up the tent fast.
" Annete, I must do one thing though. I think I have not informed my captain of my whereabouts, I bet he must have thought I am dead. We got seperated during a bandit skirmish and I have not spoken to him since. Whatever the case, we must meet my captain at Pherae before we travel anywhere else."
Ater setting up the tent, the rain started to pour down a little harder.
"Annete, quick, go inside this tent. I'll need to check on my wyvern first, so make yourself comfortable while I do that."

Annete was watching him setting up the tent, she was also thinking what she should do next. Silvine wanted to go to inform his captain and he was right about the wild animal. Annete thought they might have to follow Silvine's idea, staying here wouldn't do much anyway. "I think...We can meet your captain. But promise me one thing, we will look for Saffra after that." At last, she had decided it.
Annete nodded and went inside the tent. The tent wasn't small, but wasn't too big either. It was enough for two or three people. She looked outside to check what Silvine was doing there.

Silvine was looking after Aragog, checking if it was alright, if it wasn't injured or anything. This trip seemed too unusual. From a recruit to a group of travellers, Silvine just couldn't believe he what happened to him. Well, at least, he might find his missing dad while travelling with Annete. Silvine always did want to travel.
But if they were to head back to the capital.... they would have to go through that forest,back to the village. Silvine thought that Annete would not want to go back in there. Well, they still could not sit in the forest.
"Aragog, things have been real tough man, but I'm still counting on you." said Silvine.
The wyvern just growled softly. It felt like it understood its master's feelings.
Silvine thought it best to check on Annete.
Thankfully, she was doing alright.
"So Annete, we have a problem. If we need to go back to the capital, we'd need to go back through the forest, through your village and continue further. That's one problem. The other problem is that if we continue searching for Saffra in this darn forest, we're going to meet up with lots of wild animals. I think its best if we go to etruria. Or move south to Caelin."

Etruria or Caelin? Honestly, Annete had never visited both since she just came to the village two months ago. She didn't know which the best choice for them. And she didn't want to go back to the village either, no way she could face the villagers again. But if the purpose of their journey was her medicine, Etruria might be the better choice. The kingdom was known for its knowledge of light magic and their religion, she ever heard from a travelling merchant that a big library was there and almost all the world knowledge could be found here.
"Well, Silvine. Etruria sounds better for me. But how about yourself? Didn't you say you wanted to meet your captain first? Either way, I leave the choice in your hands. At least, you might know this area better than me." Smiling, she took his hand and placed her palm on his. "We don't need to rush anyway. I am still..." She stopped, Silvine wouldn't like her saying that.
The dancer glanced outside, it seemed they would sleep in the same tent in the end. She wouldn't allow Silvine sleep under the heavy rain. "Well, lets think about that next morning. You need rest." She thought he might feel tired after fighting the bear.
