Sky was shocked at first but then ended up laughing at him when his mouth filled with water. She kicked to the surface before she choked to death. She finally stopped laughing and looked around for Larean.

Larean finally surfaced and climbed out of the water. A simple blaze dried him up quickly. He waited for Sky to climb up too. He dried her. "So, what luggage do you carry around?" He asked. Larean noticed that she was a bit confused. "I mean, you have a past. I can sense it. What is it?" He asked, genuinely curious.

"Oh...my past? well its nothing to great..." she said putting her boots and jacket back on. She sighed he'd find out sooner or later she supposed and why not before he made the decision to be her friend "I was Born a "Unholy" child meaning my parents were not wed when i was consieved or born. My father had been a foreign elemental Knight who had only been in town for two days. He stole my mothers heart then disapeared forever from her life with a promise to come back one day. Then she discovered she was going to have me about a month later. All i know about my father is that he was handsome and kind and his last name was Hastlehoff. Me and my mother were hardly spoken to at all for most of my life. Then when I was 12 My mother met a nice man who didnt mind our past. Duke-art was his name and he was a very good man, and he took on the role as my father but i never took his name i kept my fathers, it being the only thing i ever got from him. And to this day I am still frowned upon by many from my villiage...My mother is not anylonger however because she is wed and has "Holy" children with my stepfather. Well there it is the past that has lost me just about every friend i almost had.." she said expecting him to make an excuse for having to go and never expecting to see him again.

He listened carefully to every detail. "How cruel can people get." He said, trying to find her eyes. He watched as they were glued to the ground. He stepped closer to her. "Look, I am not like others. I know what a bad past can get you. Even if it's not your fault." He said, touching the base of her chin with his right hand. He raised her chin. "Don't worry. I won't leave." He said, smiling broadly.
So, you answered my question, so I suppose I should answer it." He said, sighing greatly. He looked at her as her expression changed due to the sudden change of subject. A tear trickled down his face and he wiped it away quickly. He looked at the ground for a moment before beginning. He found his shirt and slipped it back on, revealing the evidence of his past. "I err.." He began, having a seat. She quickly followed. "You what?" She had asked him. "Well, I had a rough childhood, too." She looked at him, surprised. "Just hear me out." He said and she nodded at him. " I was beaten. Many times. All the time." He said, her expression once again changing. "Whether it was due to mischief or just because my dad was having a bad day, it happened each day, at least twice." He said, another tear trickling. This time, she wiped the tear away. "It was a whip. Remember, back in the slave days, they would use whips to keep the slaves working?" He asked her, and she nodded. "He used one of those, except it had thorns on it." He said, now blazing with tears." He tried to clean his face as best he could.
He looked around at the setting sun. He sighed deeply. "But now, I am free from such a thing. The Queen of Icaria took me in, and now I serve as a squire of the castle." He said, smiling. "She is very nice to me." He said, assuring her. "So, where are you from, anyways?" He asked, watching as the sun went down. Stars began to appear in the blanket of nearing darkness. As he looked down he watched as the greens of the trees turn darker and darker. The waters seemed to gleam with the moonlight. A small ripple made its way from the other end of the lake. Nocturnal creatures began to stir. A snow owl cried out and began searching for food.

She smiled softly at the sounds of the night time creatures. "I'm from a small villiage about 2 days walk from here" she said fiddling with a piece of her hair. She thought about both there pasts, One suffered from Physical pain the other from mental. What a pair they were. She had a feeling they were going to be very good friends.

"Good lord..." He thought aloud. "So, come to the Kingdom..." He said, smiling. "I mean, the people there will treat you right." He said. He hadn't understood where this was coming from. "I er...I" He began, but couldn't find the words.

she laughed at him softly, "You just want me to walk into the kingdom?" she said "Im a stranger they'd probably shoot me at the gate or something" she finished jokingly. What would she do in a kingdom anyway she was a villiage girl with a broken past that attended the college.

Larean saw her point. "Point taken..." He said with a short smile. Thoughts danced across in his head. "Well, you could...nevermind. That's stupid." He said, trying to think of something else. He rested up against a tree.

She looks at him "I could what? Come on tell me" she said. She hated when people started to say something then stopped it got her wondering and drove her nuts. She sat on the ground looking up at him with her please face.

He sighed. He knew she wasn't going to be open to the idea, but she was tenacious. "Well, I was going to say that you could pose as my girlfriend." He said, a slight blush creeping his face. "You would definitely get place there then..." He finished. "But, you don't wonna, so don't worry about it." He finalized, turning his head, hoping that she couldn't see his face. "It would only be so you could get a place, anyways."

She thougth about what he said for a minute then stood up. "Well I am your friend....and i am a girl....so it wouldnt be a complete lie would it?" she said biting her lip in thought. "Do you think it would really work? you think they'd believe us?" she asked turning her around so she could see him.

"Well...depends on how we act around each other..." He said, looking at her. "We'd have to make it seem real." He said, leaning up against the tree once more.

She thought some more, she had never actually had a boyfriend so she wasnt sure of how they would have to act exactly. she bit her lip and thought some more "Well...Im not sure of exactly how we have to act but i think we could pull it off" she said finally looking over at him

"Alright, then." He said, smiling. "Shall we?" He held a hand out.

She smiled and took his hand "We shall" she said. She was slowly figuring out she really liked having a friend, everything just seemed more fun when she wasnt doing it alone. She looks around "Ok so...Which way to this kingdom Larean?"
