The Returning War (A Songs of War fanfic)

Part 1: Chapter 31

A/N: sorry now for this chapter, I really don't understand boys so this chapter may be very awkward

Trees. I really hate trees; sure the provided nice shadows, but they were always in the way. And that's all we'd been seeing for the past five hours, me running into trees because the blasted horse I'm riding can't see

The only good part of this was the fact we had traveled all night last night, while everyone else was half asleep on their mounts I could finally enjoy some peace a quiet...well until Keira decided she needed to know everything about me

A few snickers erupted from around me as my horse ran into another tree. What did I do to deserve such a horse?!

The black haired Felina, Intwin rode up next to me not even bothering to hide the stupid grin on his face

"You realize you're supposed to go around the trees not through them" his taunted

Someone please stop me before I slap him

"I don't care" I growled "go bother someone else"

"Who? Maybe you're girlfriend?"

"Keira is not my girlfriend! I don't even know a thing about her!"

"Are you sure? You two were looking pretty cute together last night"

"Before or after she slapped me?"

"Why did she do that anyways?"

"None of your business!"

Intwin snickered "did you try to kiss her?"

"Why would I kiss anyone?!"

"She seems so naive, just the perfect type for a little devil like you to take advantage of"

"Call me what you will, but I'm not the devil here"

"Who is then?"

"You"

Intwin snickered again. As he did I noticed a mansion in a massive clearing. Ria had noticed it to and began riding towards it

A white Ardoni walked around the doorway with a gold sword in hand. Ria dismounted and walked towards him

"Hi" greeted the Ardoni

"Decon?!" Exclaimed Ria

"Uhh, yeah?"

"What are you doing here?!"

"I live here"

"How can a petty thief like you own a mansion this big?"

"I'm not a petty thief! And who are you again?"

"Ria Sendaris"

"Oh, you. I remember you, I stole your pointy stick"

"You mean my spear"

"Yeah that thing. And what are you doing here?"

Ria sighed "I'm looking for someone"

"Who?"

"None of your business"

"I might know where they are"

"Queen Abbigal"

"She's out looking for Vulcannus"

"And where is Vulcannus?"

Decon shrugged then walked into the house

Ria groaned then remounted her horse and began riding off

Intwin nudged me and pointed to a pitch black horse with Keira riding "your girlfriend looks really sleepy maybe you should go wake her up"

"And how do you suggest I do that?" I growled
