"Exuse me?! Humans who kill animals -aren't- my kind. They're savages and I would do anything to stop them!"
< Alex, Yeyoin does has a point > Darkflames said < They could kill you, even if it is not your kind. >
"They wouldn't kill, now would they?" Alex asked a little bit scared.
~They killed my family~ Yeyoin said sad.
"Yes they did, but, no offense to you little one, I'm their kind to them, even if I don't feel likewise. They won't kill there own kind. They might bannish me if they got really mad, but kill? No way!" Alex explained.
< You're really sure? I wouldn't like it if you find yourself killed >
~< Me neigter!! >~ Springtides and Yeyoing said together.
"I won't be killed okay? I'll make sure of that. And I'm bannished I wouldn't mind, I was passing through anyways"
~<< You were?? >>~ They said all three together.
"Yes I was remember? I am going to try and make it as a knight." The three were quiet for a few minutes, thinking over what she just said. Then Alex said: "So where do I have to go, or do we stand her forever?" They all smiled a little at the joke Alex made. She was right though, this was the only way.
< Okay > Springtides said < This is what we do; Darkflames, you distract the elders, so that they don't notice the next human try to kill a people. >
Darkflames asks.
< Use one of your -fine- discussions, that would keep them busy. Meanwhile I'll fly Alex to the human mot showing her or me >
~Hey and what do I do?~
"You… Don't do anything. If he would see you, he might try and kill you. I'm not letting that happen. So stay behind!." Yeyoin looked very angry, but stayed behind when Spring flew away with Alex and when Darkflames trotted to his family.
When they were all gone, he raced through the trees to a clearing. There were Alex and Springtides in the bushes, he could see them from above. On the other side was a human on a horse and with a bow in his hand, looking around. He looked throught the trees and saw a deer by a stream, just close enough to hit. Alex saw the dee too. She looked at the man as he stringed his bow and place an arrow. She was ready to stop him, when a stupid little monkey fell out of the tree on the man. The man startled and released the arrow, aiming at… the bush. The arrow hit Alex in the leg and she screamed. The man galloped away, trying to shake of Yeyoin, thinking that the monkey was one of the protective gods of the animals. Eventually Yeyoin fell off on the ground. Alex stumbeled out of the bush and looked a Yeyoin.
~I'm sorry!~ Yeyoin said.
"Sorry won't heal my leg" Alex said between the yelling that her leg hurts very much.
< Sorry maybe don't work, and I'm not skilled enough to heal it completely, but I can take the pain away. > Spring said to Alex, when she touched Alex' leg.
Alex sighs: "That's a whole lot better." She looks at the arrow in her leg. "Don't think you have an idea to get it out, do you Spring?"
< Can I suggest just pull? I saw that the point isn't barbed, so you could just pull it out, my spell will make sure that it won't hurt. >
Alex looks at Spring and then at the arrow. "Well here goes." She grabs the arrow and pulls. Out goes the arrow, leaving a big hole in Alex' leg. She throws it away and strips off some cloth of her cloak to bind the wound. When she is down, she looks where Yeyoin sat, but…… he wasn't there anymore. "Where did he go? Springtides where is Yeyoin?"
< I don't know Alex, I was busy with you, I don't saw him leave. >
Alex tries to stand, but her leg won't let her and she falls back again. "Oh Spring, you have to find him, he's so small, he might get hurt and I was so harsh to him, I'm so sorry."
Springtides flies up and says: < I'll find him, no matter what happens. > Springtides flies away, leaving Alex behind. It didn't take long, before Alex was surrounded by animals, who wanted to help here.
Darkflames comes running to Alex. < What happened?!? Spring told me to come here, but didn't say why. What's wrong? >
Alex looked up at Flames. "Everything was ready, I was ready to stand up against this man, but Yeyoin didn't listen to when I said that he had to stay put. He accidentally fell out off the tree on the man. The man aimed wrong and hit me. See?" She showed her wound. "Your sister was so kind to relief me off the pain. I got angry at Yeyoin and he run away. Spring is trying to find him. Flames…?"
< Yeah? >
"I didn't want to get angry at him, it's just… after that shot from the hunter I had a lot of anger. I guess I used him to rid of it. I'm so sorry." Alex looked around and made a decision. "Flames, could you tell Yeyoin that I'm really sorry for getting angry at him?"
< You could tell him yourself, Spring will find him any minute now. >
Alex shaked her head and picked up a stick. With that stick she stood up. Her leg didn't work fully, because of the shot. Springtides reliefed her of the pain, but the woun was still there. She sent the animals away. "It won't work; Your plan will never work. I'll never be accepted and Yeyoin won't forgive me for yelling at him. I want to out of the forest by nightfall. Farewell"
Darkflames looked at Alex, while she limped away. He yelled; < No way I'm going to let you go! > He runned after her and stood in front of her.
"Flames don't make it any harder than it already is. I have to go, and you know it."
Darkflamed thinked. < Then just say goodbye to Yeyoin and Spring, you can't leave without doing that, that's something you know. >
"I made up my mind okay? I'm going no matter what, I don't want to face Yeyoin, you say goodbye to him for me. I'm going!" Alex yelled softly. Then she walked around flames and went away.
