Garroth's pov.(Okay cuz I wrote a whole page bout Aph I'm gonna just write for this page just Garroth's and and Laurence' pov)
I woke up to a loud creak and I looked at the giant door. I saw Laurence walk out and I was curious. I got up off the ground and followed him. "Laurence?" When he looked at me he looked mad.
He glared at me and said very angry "Garroth, are you just going to abandon Aphmau and all your friends?!"I'm not abandoning anyone I'm protecting!"If you were protecting the people of Phoenix Drop you would stay there and be the protector!"
I was about to say something and he was right but.....it's to......late. "Laurence just return to Lady Aphmau and take care of her." I walked past Laurence and went out of the gates surrounding the castle.
As I walked through the crunchy snow I thought about if I still pretended I was a guard for Phoenix Drop and I went to all the alliances and acted like I was just patrolling the towns to see if they are okay.
I knew it was a lie, but a good one. I continued walking growing tired on my way to Pikoro village. I rested at a tree and saw that the snow on the ground was clearing almost like in spring.
I knew I was close and I ran. I came to a path. Sure enough it was the path leading to Pikoro's gates. I walked the path and there it was that beautiful village were me and Laurence egged those O'kasas guards.
Laurence' pov
I woke up and looked at Garroth he was still asleep. I got up and walked out the door. I heard Garroth's voice behind me I looked at him. I was still mad that he was being foolish. He told me he wasn't abandoning, that he was protecting. I thought that if you want to protect something you have to be near it.
He told me to take care of Aphmau and he left. I didn't bother chasing after him...I just let him leave. I knew Aphmau would cry when she heard the news. I didn't want her to cry for some jerk!
This is the first time I cried. I put my hands over my eyes and sunk to the ground. I want Aphmau to be happy but when someone just leaves without saying anything it hurts. I wasn't going to let Aphmau be sad. This is my opportunity to make her mine.
But I was going to make her fall for me in time. I'm not going to force her to love me but I will capture her heart soon. I decided to go back to Phoenix Drop. I wiped my tear filled eyes and left the castle.
