Amyra

Chapter 32

Early in the morning...

Sun shined through the opened wooden windows in Amyra's little cottage. Amyra twisted in the sunlight shinning on her lying the bed. Her black hair shinned in it. She twisted and turned in agitation and finally opened her golden eyes in tiredness.

" How long did I stay up last night? I still feel so tired. What's the time?"

She got up from off her bed and headed to the shower to try 'wash off' her tiredness.

" That feels so much better", Amyra excalimed coming out of the bathroom showered and dressed in one of her blue and white cultivator gowns. It had a white vest underlinning, a white long pants made of linen and a blue long sleeved covering over it that dropped down to cover her knees. It was wholly made of linen so it was light and cool.

" What should I do today?"

An urgent knock sounded at the door. " Miss. Amyra someone is at the foot of the barrier. He's very strong...He says he's looking for something. The elders sent me to see what you would think", a young males voice sounded shakingly at the door. Amyra opened the door, seeing his shaky figure, she could guess what transpired.

" take me to him", Amyra responded with a serious expression on her face. 'Who could it be? Why is he making trouble? From the looks of it the barrier is still in tact so that means he didn't break through it but..', Amyra thought looking at her still intact barrier, ' he could have tried to break it and after finding out he can't, he forced the elders to come.  Causing this current situation'.

The cultivator flew rapidly on his sword in front of Amyra as she followed suit behind. Upon arriving at the spot Amyra stepped down unto the dirt and looked at the trouble makers face, angry at first and then surprised.

' Isn't that...'

" Greetings. I finally get to meet you", he said smiling through the barrier.

" What are you doing here?", Amyra asked seriously no longer surprised. ' If he makes trouble...'.

" I'm looking for something of mine. I think it dropped somewhere in this sect, I could feel it", he responded, " Can I come look for it?", he asked. Amyra looked at him and after a while said, " let him through", the barrier immediately opened letting him through surprising him and everyone present.

' it opened just like that? Is she sure she wants to let him in?', the elders thought as the disciples were on edge and shaking from his prescence. Seeing this Amyra said, " Reduce your cultivation, you're scaring them", with a serious tone.

" Ok", was all he said, as he did just that, his prescence becoming no longer noticable. All the disciples finally breathed, as some dropped to the ground, as they finally felt at ease.

" So...are you going to look for it or not?", Amyra said, seeing as he wasn't moving. " yes, are you going to come with me?", he asked eyeing her with a smile in his eyes. " yes, someone has to watch you" , Amyra stated bluntly casuing the elders to almost drop of their swords. 'He's a level 90 cultivator and you're still talking to him so easily aren't you lower leveled?', the elders all thought but seeing as he didn't say anything but heading off in a direction, they breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing Amyra's true level.

Amyra stayed a good distance behind me to mintor him and give him distance so he wouldn't find her uncomfortable.

" So whats a cultivator of your level doing here?", he asked, eyeing her, as if seeing right through her disguise. Surprised Amyra looked at him and asked, " you knew?..", with a serious face. " yes, well no culivator of your age and current level could be so dumb", he responded to her question still walking in towards an unknown area of the sect Amyra never visited. " lower level cultivators tend to bend under the pressure not stand up straight much less look undeterred and order me around" , he said smiling, " Nice to meet my saviour. Can I know your name?", he asked.

" How did you know?"

" The barrier and the one at the cave exude the same aura", he responded, " And though you're hiding it, I could still see a light wrapped around you".

" Oh", was all Amyra said, ' a light?'.

After a while

" Amyra"

" That's my name"

" Nice to meet you Amyra, I'm Shidian", Shidian said smiling towards me.

'Why is he soo friendly?'

" Thank you for saving me although my thanks are late" , he said looking me in my eyes with a serious expression, " Not every cultivator is so merciful and kind. Thank you for healing me and giving me a chance", he smiled.

' Dangerous..Dangerous, his smile is deadly', Amyra thought looking at him for too long. Catching herself she looked away. They soon headed off looking his lost object.

Arriving at a desserted and barren area  they stopped. " It's here", he said pointkng to a pile of swords on a hill that was black and almost deadly in appearance. Amyra watched him walked up it and pulled out a silver londsword. All the blackness from the hill disappeared and it became green once again.

' he reminds me of someone but I can't remember who?', Amyra thought with a nostalgic look on her face, almost sad. " You are leaving now then?", she asked , realising he was walking towards her. " Maybe but can I stay if I want to?", he asked looking at me.

" Your decision, I wouldn't stop you", I stated. " Thanks then", he said smiling broader.

' She is too nice. Suppose I meant harm', Shidian thought looking at Amyra with an unreadable expression as she walked infront of him now. " I'll ask the elders if you can stay and if so an extra cottage for you", Amyra states still walking ahead, " If they can't agree then..". Hinting at her unsaid words, " I'll leave". She nodded appreciatingly.

" Thank you for being so understanding and easy on them", Amyra thanked him,  " you could have choose to not listen to me". " And then what ? What my saviour beat me up?", Shidian said jokingly. " Maybe", Amyra said bluntly, smiling afterwards, " Don't worry, I don't kill", she said smiling purely at him.

'From the first time I saw him at the barrier to now, he hasn't said a single lie. I was listening to his heart to see if he did but its rythm remained the same', Amyra thought looking at him as they opened the elders hall doors. Amyra to the right and Shidian to the left. Seeing them together the elders breathed a sigh of relief, they contemplated sending a spy to see what was happening but knowing and trusting in Amyra's strenght and personality, completly disregarded the idea.

The elders seeing the longsword in his hand almost fell down to the ground.

'That's his?!... That?!.. Of all things that. I'm glad he took it out but it's dangerous!', they all thought similarly.

They looked towards Amyra's direction in worry. Amyra noticing this, " Don't worry he means no harm", she said smiling.

' Not with that in his hands! His..His sword. I can't imagine how strong he is if thats his', Doran the leader thought and so similarly the rest.
