The Ballad of Livena SongStar

Chapter 6 - The treasure of the Starsong family

Tears streamed down Livena's face as She finished telling Arskan about that night. Arskan looks at her and says with a sympathetic look on his face.

"I... I am so sorry, I... I had no idea that... I can see now why You hate Gandon so much." Livena whipped the tears off her face and tells him.

"I hate him for what He did to me and my family... And I cant go back home, if I do then they will force me to marry Gandon.

I need to bring my husband and child back to life so I can continue living the life We had." She curled her hand into a fist and said as tears started forming in her eyes.

"I miss them so much and I do anything to get them back, I even sell my soul to be reunited with them..." Arskan went over to comfort her and says to her with a comforting tone in his voice.

"Hey... I know that You miss and love them very much, and I'm going to help You get them. Just as I told You when We left the Spirit Springs."

He then held her hand and says to her. "And no matter what happens, I will stay by Your side..."

Livena looks at him as the tears streamed down her face. She then averted her gaze and said to him.

"You stay by my side? Even though I were not so pleasant towards You earlier? I am sorry about that..."

Arskan looks at her and says as he places a log into the campfire. "Its alright, I forgive You for that and... Sorry about what I said to You,

I was so worried about You and I guess its... Um... Nevermind its nothing." Livena looks at him and says with a curious look on her face.

"You guess what? Come on please tell me." Arskan looks at her and says with a frown. "No, If I tell You then You are going to laugh at me..."

Livena looks at him and says. "I promise You that I wont laugh at You." Arskan stayed silent for a few seconds before saying to her.

"Ever since I first saw You at the inn, I... I began to have this feeling for You, A strong warm feeling in my chest that confuses me a little..."

Livena became curious as to what he meant and asked. "What do You mean by confuses You?" Arskan looks at her and says with a thoughtful expression on his face.

" It confuses me because... That feeling is... Love, A love for someone I have known for a very long time but. And that is what confuses me for We didn't meet until that bastard decided to try to touch You.

Then I got this strong urge to protect You and keep You safe and..." He lets out a groan and says to her. " I know it doesn't make sense but that's what I have been feeling ever since that day."

Livena looks at him with a look of confusion and tells him. "I... Why would You have such strong feelings for someone who was a stranger at that time?"

Arskan looks at her and says. "I don't know, Like I said it doesn't make sense... It didn't make sense when I woke up in that forest a couple of months ago..."

Livena got even more curious and tells him. "What do You mean by that?" Arskan looks her in the eyes and tells her.

"A few months ago, I woke up in the forest near the village. I couldn't remember how I got there and I couldn't even remember my name or who I was.

It was all blank like white snow, I went into the village to seek answers and couldn't find any. Since no one knew me and just thought I were just a traveller who were robbed.

So I made a living by hunting and trapping small monsters that were killing livestock at the farms. And as time passed people began to call me Arskan because of what I do for a living.
