The Last Guardians : The Blood Of The Archibald

Chapter 13 : A New Community

Aroun went to get her a spare outfit, but not without having alerted all his comrades. This gave rise to a memorable scene of mockery that soon toured the apprentices.

Another day while he was processing the rice shots, he fell face to face with a female Chiru who charged him he had to run away in zigzag for several tens of meters to avoid the horns of this nervous bug.

Then, suddenly turning around, the beast had disappeared. He returned without asking for his gesture. He later learned that she had just given birth and that she certainly protected her little present around.

Qun, however, used to isolate himself near the waterfall every evening in order to meditate in the best conditions. He spotted a cave dug out of the rock and he was resting there and had even thought of starting to develop it as a place of his own.

Yet he had the impression that sometimes imperceptibly his belongings had moved, but not enough for him to be sure, but suspicious enough to open his eye.

So several months passed and although he did not progress directly following public lessons, he reproduced all the techniques by visualizing enemies attacking in a way.

He deduced new fighting techniques that added to his arsenal and for these exercises, he went over the waterfall there was an ideal place to work on his positions and sequences.

It was during one of these intensive training sessions that he noticed that there was someone watching him. This person betrayed himself by the notes of perfume that he had on the body.

He pretended not to see anything knowing that this place was under the protection of the sanctuary. Several days later he still detected a presence and, from there, this presence was constant every night.

He had noted a slightly fragrant note of Ylang ylang thanks to its olfactory finesse, and he tried during the day to spot this scent when he went about his business. But he couldn't find it.

One evening, he hid in the forest at the back and saw a girl with her basket up to the waterfall. So he feigned the next time, a sprain so that she would not be afraid to have been discovered he asked her for her help.

Initially reluctant, she ended up supporting him and giving him a restorative massage. That evening, he met Fang Xiu. They took the time to get to know each other and learned to tame each other before he developed feelings of love for each other.

Fang Xiu was the daughter of a farmer from the city of Surya who housed the Ri Chu Temple (Rising Sun)

She helped the plantation and had seen Qun pass several times without his knowledge, she then decided out of curiosity to see where he was going, that's how she began to spy on him.

Over time Qun introduced her to her faithful friends, and she ended up introducing him to her parents, so the relationship turned serious.

She just had a lot of trouble with Alfie and when they met, he stayed with Qun's friends. Moreover, they made an explosive team because, if it was not the only animal present in the school, it was the only wild animal domesticated.

They got into the habit of seeing each other and spending time at night after everyone's many jobs.

Fang drew water in the morning and took care of the work for his brothers and sisters then went to meet his father for the harvest of the day.

Then the kitchen was waiting for him with his mother and aunts. The latter spent much of their time telling each other the gossip of the city or the country.

It would appear that there had been disappearances on the border with the Baalbeck kingdom, but it was only null rumors did not know what was really happening in these territories on the edge of the desert.

Then she spent some time with her friends from the city going to one or the other on occasion.

Meanwhile, Qun was on duty in the afternoon in the fields and with the animals. Depending on the period, he followed the morning classes diligently and did everything to be present the first giving himself time to repeat the scales of the previous day.

He had kept the habits of the temple of the Moon and this allowed him to keep a certain discipline.

Then, leaving, the last, also. By showing his desire to get there. Yet he felt that he had not been appreciated for his worth.

Indeed, sometimes the teachers selected a young person they found talented in order to integrate him into their school.

But for over a year, despite his efforts, no one had noticed. Moreover, he began to wonder if he would ever be selected: even though he felt he was doing what was asked of him with the best possible method. He was desperate to never have a chance.

And all this undermined him. Also, he spent less time meditating and more time with his promised Fang Xiu.

He thought about their future. They would get married and have a farm around. He loved her with true love and it was mutual. They would have children later probably and who knows, would she see the Twins one day.

This life seemed so far away. He preferred to ignore the emotional state of his grandparents because he realized how devastated they must be.

However, he had managed to send them a letter to tell them that he was in good health and that should be enough for them for now.

All evening, they finally met at the edge of the waterfall where they spend time, kiss hug and have fun.
