chapter 2

Freye and I continued talking for hours about things we love and things we could think of not until later on her father interrupted us. He's father is in a rush and he looks so busy. I guess it's about those merchants. "Freye and Elora, beautiful girls can I ask you two to go and run some errands fore me?" It's so random and weird that he'll let Freye and me to run some errands for him cause he  never ask us to run some errands before. Freye and I look at eachother with confusion "Girls today is  really a busy day and tomorrow it's still will be a busy day for me so I can't go anywhere." "But uncle you're always busy." I said with sarcasm and smile, suddenly the three of us look at each other and laugh "Yes Elora, there's no day that am not busy." He said and smile at me "So Father where is this errands for?" Freye ask "it's for Mr. Cesar can you two do it?" He ask "of course uncle why in the Kingdom name where not gonna do it, it's not like you always ask us for errands anyway, this is only once in a blue moon." I said and laugh "Elora is right father" Freye proclaim.

I can't stop thinking about the black wind that was chasing me on my way here, is the black wind enchanted or something or am too rude to other people whenever I counter and have a chance to be rude, maybe I did do something wrong to others that they actually cursed me. Still my mother said to run away from it because it's dangerous and she never tell me the reason why, now here I am thinking people cursed me or is it because of my behavior to others.

"Elora?" "Elora?!!" "Hey are still in your body?" Freye shouted "am sorry I suddenly zone out." I said to her "Did something happen? not that am sticking my nose into your problem, still it's not like you to be zoned out." She ask "I don't know maybe am just tired from taking clean shots in the field yesterday." answering her that maybe that would satisfy her curiosity, she look at me with one of her eyebrows lifting and said "You get tired?" "Is that even a question of course yes am a human being like you." I said to her with annoyance "Am just asking no need to be that angry." "Am not, so shut up and let's go."

While we were walking to Mr Cesar Freye suddenly mention something "Elora did you know the rumors spreading in the town?" I looked at Freye and she looks scared "No, what is it?" "I also heard it from my parents." "What is it?" I asked her "Those merchants they are not only here for armor and swords, my father said they are looking for something." something that's interesting there's no merchants came here to do that and even the royals gave them a pass here, they most be so important or powerful. "What do you think they are looking here for?" I asked her "hmm I don't know it's not like it's my business anyway, so I don't care." "It's not like you ever cared about something anyway" I said to her with sarcasm "Hey! You're so rude and mean, I care for you and my family tho." "Oh~ really?" I teased her "oh stop it Elora!" She shouted lightly "let's go so we'll not meet the night on the way." 

"Elora" Freye ask along the way "hmm?" "Did it ever occur to your mind to find your Father?" she asked "I thought we should hurry so we won't meet the moon later we go home." "Please answer it, just once." she begged with pitiful eyes full of curiosity "I don't know I've never thought about it before also my mother and I never discuss or talk about my father, all she said is that my father is a brave man." I said to her "I mean Elora, how could he not be brave, look at you you're good at everything and you don't easily trust others and that's what I like about you also your good at everything." "Am not really that good at everything, there's thing am afraid of and there's something am not good at, like using a dagger am still learning and practicing it." I said to her "but your so good at archery that you can win and beat the best in this town, not only In this town but this whole kingdom but me am still a mediocre on using dagger." She said with a sad tone "hey I would not ask you to teach me how to fight with a dagger if your skills are still mediocre and your blacksmithing skills are amazing you know and be proud of it, having a mediocre skills mean you have still a lot to learn and be patient because you all the time in the world and am here for you, so stop worrying about it the two of us shall learn and improve together so someday we'll be stronger than anyone else in this world." Those words I said I meant it.

"Oh we're here at last" I sigh with relief cause it was really far than I thought it was "Mr Cesar are you there!?!" Freye shouted loudly "Freye no one is answering, did your father said about this?" I ask her "no" "Mr Cesar!!" She shouted loudly than the first shout she shouted, no one is still answering it. "Freye no one is answering." I whispered to her "yeah I know, why are you whispering." "I just like it" I said "Your so annoying" "so as you" I said back "Instead the two of us argue here, can you help me here too cause am the only one shouting here" "it's for your father anyway" I said and laugh "Oh come on Elora help me" "alright I'll do it".
