The fight moved closer to Julia's current position. Eventually, the strange girl slashed her sword carelessly and accidentally made a light scratch on Julia's face. Julia fearfully stepped back. The girl threw several needles which pinned the boy into a tree. Then she took her mighty sword and drew it back, then stabbed the boy in his chest. Julia ran as fast as she could with thorns scratching at her clothes and piercing her skin. The unidentified girl spotted her and quickly caught up with Julia at what seems the speed of light.
Julia said, "Wait, but how are you able to run so fast? It was incredible! Also, why were you fighting that boy?"
"That is none of your business." said the girl.
Julia replied, "Oh, sorry. I don't mean to be rude but, who are you?"
"Oh yes, where are my manners? My name is Romara." "Considering that you just killed someone, I don't see how you have any manners," Julia muttered to herself. "Did you say anything, Julia," said Romara. "Wait! How do you know my name is Julia," said Julia. "I know many things. Plus, it's sewn onto your shirt." "Oh, well I guess that makes things easy," said Julia as she tripped on a string. Julia fell into a pit and a small dagger flew through the air and made a deep wound into her wrist. Romara pulled with ease to get Julia out of the pit. "It was a trap. Made by Aeroth. He's against the Alliance and a very ruthless man," said Romara in disgust as Julia yelped in pain. Romara quickly reached for the dagger and pulled it out forcefully.
"You might wanna put some vervain on that wound. It looks pretty deep. If you don't do something about it then you'll probably bleed to death," said Romara. Then she tossed Julia some vervain along with bandages.
"I don't know what your talking about," said Julia, sounding awfully confused while clutching her bleeding hand.
"Hand it to me," said Romara urgently. Julia handed her the bandages and vervain. Romara put the vervain on her hand slightly scattered across both the back and the palm of her hand. Romara then wrapped the bandage around Julia's arm and said, "Try and take it easy for a while. Your hand won't be completely healed for several weeks."
Julia started to walk off knowing she'll never forget this moment in time. Romara did what you could call a frown while staring at Julia in a strange way. Romara knew that Julia couldn't handle what's out there and felt guilty for leaving Julia. It was just like raising a pig for slaughter.
Romara caught up with Julia and said guiltily, "How about you come with me. We can travel together until I can get you home safely."
Julia lit up head to toe with excitement and said, "YES OF COURSE I'LL GO WITH YOU!" Romara was very surprised how enthusiastic Julia was to come with her.
