Averin’s point of view;
As I watched Kahlan set up to go to sleep I set up watch, I out a little bit more fire wood and the already smouldering fire to give me more heat, it was a full moon so I wouldn’t be needing that much light considering the moon was directly above us shinning us in all its glory, I couldn’t help but think where did we go wrong this time? I just thought that we would finally be able to settle down in the city of Vestorep without having to run just because of Kahlan. Why did she have to have such a dangerous job? If it wasn’t for mother making me promise to look after my little sister when she was on death’s bed, I know I’m only older by about 10 minutes but the strange thing is we were born on 2 different days, and we’re twins… crazy, I know. “Oh, hey, Pythagoras you’re back, did you have a nice hunt?
“Wrrrar…”
“That’s good.”
There was a rustle in the bush and all heads turned towards that bush, Averin slowly and silently drew his sword without making one noise and stalked over to the bush placing his feet carefully on the ground he avoided all twigs so not to break any of them. He got over to the bush with the hair standing up on the back of his neck; he waited for a moment before he started to retreat just as the bush started to rustle again, the fire near the camp died out with a sizzle and a pop leaving averin in an eerie silence with only the light coming of the full moon for him to see, as he slowly walked back over to the bush a small white rabbits head popped out of the bush took one look around and bounced off into the distance, the bush was then still again, so he walked back over to the tent getting ready for Kahlan to take over watch.
“Look who finally emerged…”
“Shut up Averin, before I go back to sleep and you can pull an all-nighter.”
“Stressy, much?”
I watched as Kahlan drew her dagger from her boots and pointed it at me.
“Okay, okay… I’m going, Kahlan, I’m going.”
Kahlan’s point of view;
Urghhh… I hate late watches; they’re bad as it is add my brother and his stupid ruddy dragon into the equation… its hell. Who the hell calls a dragon Pythagoras, anyway? Why does he have to be older than me? Why did mother have to make us promise to look after each other? It’s not like I can’t look after myself is it Pythagoras?i aske while hauling the wood onto the fire getting ready to relight it for heat, He’s always moaning at me about my job, I don’t see anything wrong with it, I’m the best in the business. So, yeah… it’s not the easiest job around but it pays well. Yeah, I know I misjudged the precautions this time, and so what its not like I do it every time? I shot the prince of Vestorep… it was a job that needed to be done the prince was a monster slaughtering his own people just because he could, I know one of the guards spotted me, that was where my mistake was made, I think this is the only time Averin’s dragon has come in handy, the only time it was useful since he found the egg when we were 13, 10 years ago, I remember that day as it was yesterday…
**flashback**
It was a wooded area, in the middle of summer it was hot, but wasn’t an uncomfortable heat. The sun was trying to get through the canopy of trees but it was breaking through in rays of sunlight, there was trickling of water coming from the stream that ran directly through the middle of the woods and a smell of fresh grass from the opening in the wood and there is where a proud stag standing around and grazing on the grass without a care in the world, behind the tree was an young elf getting ready to release her already taught bow to send that arrow straight through that buck’s heart... until another young elf came bounding up behind her, startling the buck that ran away just as she realised the arrow which went straight into an oak tree.
“Kahlan, look what I found!”
“I don’t care what you found Averin, you just lost us our dinner you stupid boy”
“You can find another deer elsewhere, but…”
“Another deer…? ANOTHER DEER, THAT WAS A PRIZED BUCK, YOU LITTLE TWERP.”
“Well, I found a dragons egg, Kahlan. Do you know how rare those are, huh, do you Kahlan?”
“Yeah, I do Averin, but do you know how rare a decent meal is for the three of us these days, Averin?”
“Well I didn’t think, sorry. “
“you never think do you, I like to see you try to get something for us to eat rather than play around with bloody stone, dragon eggs whatever that thing is.”
There was ponding footsteps coming up behind them, without a second though both Kahlan and Averin were facing the sound of the footsteps, with Kahlan’s bow redrawn and Averin’s sword drawn facing towards the invader.
“Please Kahlan, Averin; come home quick, it’s your mother. She’s taking a turn for the worst, please come quick.”
Before Sarah had finished, the twins were running back through the wood towards their home. Averin broke through the door first yelling.
“Where are you, mother…?! Are you okay?!”
With Kahlan following close behind him they both ran up to their mothers room, their mother looked worse for wear, her normal tanned skin was transparent, her hair clung to her face while beads of sweat were running down her forehead.
“Kahlan, Averin you’re here now listen to me,” She coughed. “Averin, I want you to look after your sister, Kahlan promise me you won’t annoy… your brother too and just remember I love both of you very much.”
Then there was silence, there were tears streaming down Averin’s face and Kahlan was screaming.
