The Ardoni Legacy: Return of The Angel

'A new friend'

Lily sighed as the sun disappeared, now it was night time, ''great, it's night time already'' Lily sighed, ''I'd better light a fire'' Lily said to herself. Lily got off Snowy and started to collect fire wood, then she neatly stacked them on each other and put small stones around the wood at the bottom, then she pulled out some flint and steal and tried to light the fire, ''c'mon! just ONE flicker!'' Lily complained, ''maybe I can help'' said a Ardoni from behind, swiftly, Lily pulled out her blades for defence, but then her anger turned to guilt as her gaze landed upon the Sendarian Ardoni, ''O-Oh! K-k-k-ky' Thalleous!'' Lily stammered as she kneeled down and bowed, showing her loyalty to the Champion, ''I am EVER EVER so sorry! I beg for forgiveness!''

''No! No! It's okay! I mean, you were startled, so I can't blame you but myself'' Thalleous replied charmingly, ''o-oh, okay...'' Lily got up off her feet, ''and, what is a ten year old doing out here on their own?'' Thalleous questioned as his gaze landed on Lily, he was quite suspicious on why Lily was out here on her own without her parents, ''w-well, uuhh, where do I start? uuhh...'' Lily inhaled before speaking, ''well?'' Thalleous said suspiciously

''okay! okay! I know what your thinking, 'oh! have you ran away?' AND NO! I haven't! I just-''

''you should get back home sweet heart'' Thalleous sighed

''no! Im fine! AND!-''

''And what?'' Thalleous cut her off as he raised an eye brow, ''Im going to see if the Voltaris are gonna return!''

''WHAT?!'' Thalleous was shocked, he thought that ten year olds were scared of the Voltaris! Not going to see them!, ''WHY IN ARDONIAS NAME ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR THE VOLTARIS?!'' Thalleous shouted angrily and scared for her, he didn't want the poor girl to die! Lily flinched, but then she frowned, ''Because, I want to protect Ardonia!''

''YOUR TOO YOUNG! YOUR ONLY, uuhh, TEN! (I think)'' Thalleous shouted at Lily, ''WHO CARES ABOUT AGE?! DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW POWERFUL I AM?!'' Lily shouted back at Thalleous, making his ears pin backwards at her intensity, ''o-oh...S-s-s-s-s-sorry my Champion...'' Lily stammered as she looked down sadly, ''n-no, its okay. Now, lets talk about this with NO shouting'' he'd look at himself, he didn't know what to say, he was just trying to protect her, not to cause an argument.

Lily sat down on a log, then she patted a space next to her so Thalleous knows he has permission to sit down next to her. Thalleous sat down next to her, the attractive Ardoni now looked at Lily straight into her eyes, ''now, why are you searching for the Voltaris?'' Thalleous asked, now his voice was now soothing and calm, ''well, I heard rumours about the Voltaris, and I wanted to see if they were true''

''but, why are you on your own?'' Thalleous asked concerned as his voice got even more soothing, Lily opened her mouth, she searched for a response but she had none, ''well...uuhhh...I dont want my parents getting hurt, plus, Im the strongest in my family''

''you are now?'' Thalleous raised an eye brow as he had a warm smile on his face, ''i-indeed I am! Im just as strong as a eighteen your old!'' Lily protested proudly, Thalleous clapped, ''very well! How long have you been training?''

''hhmmm, well...Ive been training ever since I was two-''

''EVER SINCE YOU WERE TWO?!'' Thalleous repeated in disbelief, ''Mhm! I mean, I have LOTS of bullies, and uh, I MEAN LOTS!''

''why...?'' Thalleous asked as his blue glowing ears drooped, showing that he felt guilty and upset. Lily looked into Thalleous's piercing eyes as sadness and concern flashed in his eyes, Lily sighed and looked down, ''Because Im not truly human...'' Lily took off her hood and flicked her fringe back, revealing her hybrid side, ''WHOA!'' Thalleous fell off the log in shock, he'd never seen such a unique creature before, but he wasn't consumed by hate and disgust, he felt amazed, ''In all of my life I've never seen such a creature!'' Thalleous said with a warm smile, ''wait...Y-You don't mind it?''

''ppfft! It's AMAZING! I LOVE YOUR HYBRID SIDE!'' he exclaimed as he got up, his tail swished happily, Lily felt comfortable and safe as Thalleous said he loved her hybrid side, she had a warm feeling of love in her heart, she's never seen Thalleous so amazed and impressed, ''Well, uuhh, c-could you stay by my side for a while?'' Lily stammered, she didn't want Thalleous to leave, he just gave her a lovely feeling of comfort and love! She didn't want him to leave!, ''mhm! I mean, It'll be nice to have some company!''

''T-Thank you...'' Lily said with a warm smile, she felt her eyes get watery and she felt tears stream down her cheeks, Thalleous looked at her with concern, ''Are you okay, uh, what's your name?''

''Lily. Lily Sendaris'' Lily replied as he voice shook, ''Im guessing your crying out of happiness! <Chuckle> Do you want a hug?-'' Thalleous held out his arms, suddenly, Lily dived into his arms, making him stumble backwards, luckily, he gained his balance and stood up straight, then he wrapped his muscular arms around the young girl, Thalleous felt a warm sense of comfort as Lily looked up at him with her face wet with happy tears, Thalleous smiled and bent down and gave her a proper hug. Now Lily had company, and a new friend...
