Nyrrea

"the cave?". I said. The lady's eyes turned normal again. "I think you have all the answer you need".  What? no. what does she mean with 'in the cave'. There isn't even a cave in loxeadi."no we don't. what cave?". I  said more formally this time. Xavier placed an hand on my shoulder and I immediately turned around. "I know where they are. Come on". Xavier thanked the lady and walked out.  The rest walked out with him. I stood up from the chair. "thank you "I said to the lady with a smile. "nyrrea. You will find control. And it will be the best thing in your life". Control, as in I can control my powers?" maybe someday". I walked out of her shop. "well that was weird". Axe said. "do any of you now of a cave?". Everybody said no. We tried to find Xavier, because he was now where to been seen. " you guys heard that to right?". axe said. "what do you mean". I told him. "the raxi. the bear? The story's of him are true". I thought that to. "maybe the story's aren't real."meave said quietly. Mascu has just wandering of. Looking for xavier. He wasn't in the conversation. "now it is just the tree of us. what is going on between you two". I laughed. "well. Uh. The night of the ball we kind of made out".
" what!?". I yelled. " and now? are you a couple?". I new axe liked meaved since the moment he saw her. But I didn't now meave liked him back. We don't talk about those thing together. But that's fine. I already suspected something between those Tho at the ball. But I just thought I would ask later.  " yeah. We are a couple". Axe admitted. Placing a hand over meave shoulder. They already look so cute together. Meave smiled shyly at him. "I am so happy for you two. You deserve each other. Come here". we all cane each other a hug. But we heard some horse approaching. I looked up, it  was xavier and mascu. and some other men. "crab your horses and lets go". I am confused I stood there. Meave and axe were already  gone, walking to there horses. Not question anything.. "why?".
"we are going to the cave. To kill the king". He should have told me he wanted to do that now. "xavier. I make the decision here. not you. And I did not make a descoiund we would leave of to kill a king in aterrutoriom I have never heard of without a plan. so step of your horse. and calm the fuck down". I said angry. I now he means it good. but he needs to now he can't make decisions like this without talking about it with me, and the rest. He did not step down. We stared at each other. Looking who would butch.
"now xavier". and he finally stepped down. He walked past me. "let me now when you think your ready to kill your parents killer, my queen". And he walked away. I turned around. "you really think I don't want to kill that bastard?. I screamed at him. he stopped walking. " he killed my parents xavier. he killed our parents'. I pointed at axe. Xavier turned around. "every night when I am in bed. I just want to grab my knife, find that bastard. and make him suffer. He took my favourite person from me. my dad. And now. I finally have the chance to do sow. And you think I am just going there. And kill him. no. I want to make him suffer like he made me suffer". I said. With tears streaming down my chin. Xavier already walked over to me while I was talking. I took a deep breath. And he just looked at me. " he took my dad from me". I broke down crying. Xavier pulled me in his arms. Hugging me tightly. I did not care everyone is seeing me cry. Even the strongest person have a time of weakness. "Do I need to come? are you okay?". Aza said. I haven't seen her for  a while.  But when I need her in now she will be there. And I would for here. "I'm fine. Don't worry". I said to her. "I know princess. I know". he said. Make circle on my back while I cried in his arms. After a couple of minutes I stopped crying. Xavier pulled back from the hug but he still was holding my arms. "we are going to kill that king. Make him suffer in ways he cannot imagine. We all are." I nodded. Xavier wiped away my tears with his thump. "its okay princess. I'm here" he places me under his arms and walked  with me towards the palace. We walking inside by bedroom. Xavier laid in bed. "come on". He opened his arms. I walked over to him and cuddled in his arms. " what about the plan". we need to make a plan to kill the king. As soon as possible. "we will do that first thing tomorrow. Don't you worry". I stayed in his arms for a couple of minutes  until I remembered my question. "xavier". I looked up at him. "yes princess". that nickname still makes butterflies in my stomach.
"can I ask you something?".
"always".
"are the story's true?"
"what story's?'
"about your raxi. and how you got it". he laughed. His laugh was my favoured sound of the world. It was so pure. But I almost never heard it. "people are making stories of that?". he smiled. "yeah". He looked in my eyes. And I know he isn't doing anything but looking at me. but o cant help but feel nervous. "stop looking at me like that princess". he sighted. "or what". I said. Feeling bold. "or I am going to want to kiss you again". my check wear burning up. he always make me feel so shy under his gaze and his words. "maybe you should". I kept my bold act up. but deep down I was really nervous. He hummed. His hand went to my cheek. Still looking at each other's eyes. and with second he kissed me. his lips on mine. And it was the best feeling in the world. His hand went true my hair. And so did mine true his hair. His kisses were so passionate. He pulled back. "the story's?". I was still so consumed by that kiss. I had no idea what he is talking about. 'the story people say about me. about how I got my raxi". he laughed. "right. uhm. Some people say that you gave fought people since you were ten years old. That you killed your first when you were eleven. And that you fought a wild bear and won". I said a little embarrassed. I know it is nothing to be embarrassed about to ask, but still. " yes they are true".
"what?".
"my father trained me since I could hold a sword. So it was actually eight. Since I fought people. And yes I killed my first when I was eleven. Someone boy wanted to kill my dog, for fun. And I did not let him. and for the bear. I spend a year living in the wilderness when I was sixteen. All man to that in fitgo. And I was walking at a river by the forest. And suddenly there was a bear. It tried to kill me but if fought back. But when it ne I wasn't giving up he stopped fighting. And the bear became my raxi". wow. That is why he so good at fighting. The best at fighting. " but why is your raxi never with you?". I have wondered that since I saw him. he never was with an animal. Never have u saw him with a bear. "he lived at that river. Where I mad him. but one day. I decided to go see him. but I couldn't find him. and I turned around and he was there but walked away. I followed him. he let me up the mountain. Heading to the waterfall. There Is a cave behind the waterfall. That is were the king will be. and they wont escape from the cave. Don't worry about that".  he said that a little to confident. How could he now they are not just going to walk out of the cave and go somewhere else. "how do you know for sure?.
"you are not the only one who can talk with their raxi".
"why you never said?'
"we never talked about it". that true. We weren't that close before. I stood up from the bed and went to my bookcase. I crabbed a book about deva the goddess. One I have read thousand of times. But is till love it.  I went back to bed and xavier arms. I gave him the books. "will you read this to me. please". I gave him my sweetest eyes. "sure". Is scoot closer to him.  if that even is possible. "deva the goddess...".
After a while I felt asleep in xavier arms.
