The Ardoni Legacy: Return of The Angel

'romance...'

Thalleous woke up as parrots chirped as the sun rose, making the sky a lovely orange and pink colour, Thalleous stretched as he let out a sigh of relief. He looked at Lily who was sound asleep on the grass next to him, Thalleous leaned on the log and sighed, parrots curiously listened to the noises, Thalleous looked up at the parrots, then he realised that they wanted to repeat the noises he was making, he made a small whistle, then they repeated, he started to whistle a tune, and the parrots repeated reluctantly, still curious with Thalleous. Eventually, the parrots started to whistle the tune with pride and curiosity, then, Lily woke up. She was amazed by Thalleous's skills on whistling and repeating tunes, ''Thats so cool!'' Lily said as she listened to the parrots whistle, ''heh, thanks'' he replied with pride, ''soooooo, where are we goin' now?'' Lily asked, ''dunno, I mean- we could go and stay at the Ardonian army camp, or, the A.A.C for short, Its a nice place to stay, and IVE heard that they've got a new leader!''

''Cool! lets go there then!'' Lily replied as curiosity gleamed in her eyes. Thalleous looked down at the child and smiled softly, ''okay, lets go!''

''Ill get Snowy, my horse!''

''oh! you have a horse? I never knew such a youngster can have such a big responsibility!'' Thalleous chuckled impressed, ''Mhm! Im quite responsible if I say so myself'' Lily said proudly.

Thalleous got his horse, Timber. Timber snorted curiously as he saw Snowy, Thalleous looked at Snowy shocked, ''My goodness! A Snow-maned Horse?! they're INCREDIBLY rare!'' Thalleous protested, ''I found her when she was only a foal, she was hurt, and so I helped her, and ever since then, Ive took care of her and Ive always been there for her'' Lily smiled as she stroked Snowy's snow white mane, ''Impressive!'' Thalleous chuckled, ''well, off we go!'' Thalleous said as Timber trotted off, Snowy followed along as Lily got onto her back.

(A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER)

Lily sighed as she put up her hood, "hey, uh, there's no need to, ya know, cover your hybrid side up! The Ardoni will be amazed when they see you!" Thalleous boasted hopefully, "o-okay then..." Lily took down her hood, so everyone could see her full face. Eventually, the two arrive at the A.A.C, Lily puts Snowy in a nearby stable, Thalleous does the same. Then they go to a Mendorian guard and ask for permission to go inside, luckily, he accepts and moves to the side to let the two in.

They walk in and see a female Ardoni training with two other male Mendorian Ardoni, despite their strength, the female seems to over power them, she's only a short one, so it's obvious that Lily and Thalleous were shocked by this, "WHOA! Did you see her moves?!"
"I sure did..." Thalleous said, he couldn't stop watching her, his gaze followed her movements in awe, eventually, he'd start to blush slightly as his tail curled up a bit, Lily giggled seeing this, "you like her, don't you?" She whispered to Thalleous. Thalleous was startled by this and covered his face, "N-NO! I'm just impressed!"
"Mhm? You were blushing clear as day a couple of seconds ago!"
"No I w-w-w-wasn't!" Thalleous stammered. The female Ardoni managed to win the small sparr, the two Mendorian brothers gave up and surrendered, the female patted their shoulders gently, showing them that they have done well. Then, she walked to a ledge and took her bow, then she spotted Thalleous and Lily, "oh! What a surprise! I never knew the Champion was going to visit!" The Sendarian female boasted whilst she raised an eye brow, Lily looked at the female, then she realised that she was the leader, "wait- are you the leader?" Lily asked curiously, "indeed I am! The first female leader of the Ardonian army!" She boasted as she held her hips proudly, "even prettier up close..." Thalleous murmured, luckily, only Lily could hear, "O.M.G THALLEOUS!" Lily laughed, "what?" The female asked curiously, "nothing, just give me and Thalleous a second please?"
"Alrighty"

Lily and Thalleous turned around, "soooooo? Care to explain why you said, 'even prettier up close...'? "
"I didn't say that!" Thalleous protested, "oooooooo~! Looks like we've got some love bird stuff~" Lily teased with a big grin on her face, Thalleous sighed in defeat, "okay, okay...fine, I do like her"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Lily squealed, "I DARE YOU TO TALK TO HER!"
"W-what? N-no!" Thalleous laughed sarcastically, "go on! I know you want to~" Lily pushed Thalleous in front of the leader, then he blushed slightly, "uh...h-hello ma'am" Thalleous stammered, he had no idea what to say, "hello my Champion!" She replied happily, she shook hands with Thalleous, showing her happiness and pride to talk to him, "sooooo...uh...w-w-what's your name...?"
"Oh! I'm Luna! Luna Sendaris" Luna bowed majestically in front of Thalleous, making him blush even more, "o-okay, uuhhmm...I-I'm Thalleous..." he said in a quiet voice. An Ardoni accidentally bumped into Luna, making her fall, with little moments to act, Thalleous lunged at her, then he caught her. Luna and Thalleous were locked in a never ending stare, well, for Thalleous, this was a blushing hazard, but for Luna, this seemed to make her feel safe. She'd look downwards as she blushed, "uh...T-thank you..." she'd reply in a high-pitched voice, "u-uh your w-w-w-welcome..." he'd stammer. Thalleous helped Luna up, but it seemed like Luna didn't want that moment to end as she looked down a bit disappointed.

Lily giggled seeing Thalleous look away shyly, ''Hey, uh, I'm guessing you two are staying here for a bit'' Luna said in a quiet voice as she looked at Thalleous. Lily nodded and held Thalleous's shoulder, she smiled softly at her big fellow, Thalleous looked down at the young girl, then he sighed and smiled at Lily.

Luna turned around, ''Ill lead you two to one of the dorms so y-'' A young Nestorian Ardoni teleported infront of Luna with a big grin on her face as she stamped her hooves, ''ELLO!''

''GAH!'' Luna shouted, she took a breath, ''GEEZ! you scared the living daylights outta me!''

''HEHEHHEHEHHEH!'' The Nestorian female giggled with a evil grin on her face. She looked at Thalleous on crouched down on all fours, ''hey, uh, what are you doi- oh, yeah...'' The female pounced on Thalleous playfully as her tail wagged, ''GOTYA!'' She giggled, ''hey! that isn't fair!'' Thalleous laughed as she pinned his limbs down to the floor, ''heh, your strong'' he laughed, ''BUT NOT STRONG ENOUGH!!!'' Thalleous got up and picked the average sized Ardoni up with ease, ''AAWW C'MON!'' she laughed, ''suck-it-up shortie!'' Thalleous teased, ''HOW DARE YOU CALL ME SHORT!'' She hissed, she gently kicked Thalleous in the stomach, making him put her down, Lily laughed as her face turned red from all of the laughing, ''SHE GOT YOU THEN!'' she laughed, ''you bet I did!'' The female laughed, ''Im Angela. Angela Nestoris, Im quite playful to be honest'' she said with a grin on her face, ''ya think? YOU LITRALLY PINNED ME DOWN!'' Thalleous laughed, ''well, c'mon then you two, I'll lead you two to a dorm to stay in, or do you want separate dorms?''

''we'll be fine in one dorm together'' Thalleous replied.
