[Zane]

As she swung her wooden sword at me I slightly met her enchanting eyes under her hood, before the sword hit me, on the top of my head, I noticed her shift her gaze away from mine.

"Focus!" she yelled at me, taking a step away from me to put herself in a fighting position."Now come on, let's do this again."

Managing to roll my eyes she was gone, vanished.I kept looking around but she was nowhere to be seen, nowhere heard either.And that's when my entire body came in contact with the hard dry ground.

As I lost all of the oxygen in my lungs I found her waiting impatiently for me to stand up, and to my surprise, I can't say that she didn't look hilarious with the face she made.Nudging me slightly I sighed quietly and stood back up, holding my head where she hit me.

"Not fair," I called it but she just replied with narrowing her eyes at me.

"Hey now, you're the one with bad posture here." she replied with a sweet tone in her voice.

Shrugging it off I swung my sword at her, but she managed to get away from me by doing a cartwheel backward.And then she stood back up with her sword already out and pointed at me.

After we were done with that the archery range came next, pretty simple and boring if I do say so myself.But not so much for my guards, which is making me quite angry knowing they don't train regularly.

"Are you serious?You can't hold the bow like that, your elbow needs to be more out and your shoulder needs to be straightly pulled out when you're pulling the string!" she yelled at the few guards, taking her evening to teach them something.

"Excuse me, but who are you to teach me, let alone yell at me?" one guard spoke up, his bow pointed to the ground.

"She will teach you everything you need to know, now follow her instructions because she actually knows something," I said, putting him back in his normal spot.

He huffed and then nodded, his eyes piercing into her back because she was teaching a new guard how to hold a bow correctly.

"I will not have that kind of attitude towards me," she said with her back still turned,"And don't even think I can't see or know what you're doing, I have eyes everywhere."

The guard nodded quickly as he picked up some arrows, his gaze leaving her for a second.

You have eyes everywhere, huh?

"Ro'Meave."she spoke, looking me in the eye(s).

"L/N."I replied, doing my best to not let out a tear.

And with that we went our ways, away from the warm silent study.As I sat down on my bed my thoughts went back to her, I feel like I need to know her story, her perspective, just her in general.Something isn't adding up to what she's saying, something isn't adding to who she is.

[Y/N]

"I'm trying to pick myself up piece by piece, little do you know, I need a little more time."I sang quietly to myslef as I stared outside, taking a liking to the warm breeze passing by.

"Underneath it all I'm held captive by the hole insie,"I mumbled the lyrics this time, my voice becoming low once more."I've been holding back..."

As I sighed I ran my hand through my hair to get my mind straight, but I couldn't do it.I was thinking of so many things that I couldn't focus on one single thought.

How are Enki and Esmund doing?Irene?

What's up with every night of me hearing his voice, over and over again?

What's my plan?I can't stay here forever, ignoring the knowledge of Irene.

And, why does this place feel like home?What's bonding me to this place?

"Maybe it's time to visit her, will she take me in?"I muttered as I layed down, staring at the closed door."Well, it's better to know than assume."

As dawn peeked through the clouds covering the sky I took a deep breath, the cold oxygen filling my lungs.As I have my horse a fresh apple, Rue stood behind me.

"Will we come back?"Rue asked, looking back at the castle.

"I'm not sure,"I replied truthfully as I got on my horse, H/N. (H/N-Horse Name)

Rue sighed as she shifted away silently, getting on H/N I glanced behind myslef, O'Khasis nicely layed out as the atmosphere lifted itself when the sun met the layed out houses.

"Goodbye O'Khasis."I spoke, as H/N walked slowly, giving me enough time to put everything back and quickly forget it.Even forget him.

But as I was leaving, I was stopped at the gates.
