Half Soul {Garroth x Reader}

Chapter One~-~-~Runnaway

                    You keep running. You refuse to turn around, to accept the horror you'd just witnessed. You refused to believe what Father had said. What he was prepared to do in the name of 'peace'. That he would force his own daughter into marriage... What a disgusting human being. No, an act like that can't even be considered human. 

                    I'm sorry Nicole... You think as you continue running through the dark forest. Leaves crunch through every step. Your (F/C) cloak swooping behind you. You throw a look over your shoulder. You can just see the lights of Sc...No, you don't even want to think the name of that horrid place. You decide to just call it 'There'. You can just see the lights of 'There' disappearing from sight.

                      You slow to a walk, breathing heavy. You set your (F/2/C) bag down next to a tree and sink against the oak bark. If your calculations were correct, you should be approaching the   (Strawberry/Chocolate/Vanilla) villages. {I can't remember what they were called} 

                    I can find some armor there. Something that hides my face. You think. I won't want anyone recognizing me. Especially when I get mad, no one can know about my past or what I am. And if they see my eyes, {Image}, I'll be sent back 'there'. You shiver at the thought.

                   Tomorrow I'll order that helm...Then, I'll get as far away as possible from that hell hole. You slowly drift off to sleep.

                   "That'll be three diamonds, Miss," The blacksmith's voice breaks your train of thought. You'd just fit your helm on and, holy Irene, did you look great, or what? {You totally do, gurl!}  You pay the man who was kind enough to make me a full armor set w/out question.

                   "Um...Sir?" You ask, peering through my new helm. He looks up at you from a piece of metal he was hammering. "Is there any village looking to hire new guards?"

                   "Well, you're in luck, Little Missy." He says wiping his sweaty hands on his shirt. "A woman named, Ap-moo, just came through here. She said she was the lord of an upcoming village. But she'll likely be out of town at the moment, seeing as she was just heading the way you came."

                   "Would you happen to know the name of this village?" 

~-~-~Le Second Time Skip Cause I'm Still Lazy~-~-~

                    You tie the dinky little boat to the dock and step onto solid ground. You had finally reached the village of Phoenix Drop. Not a good first impression. Smoke was rising from a house on the hill, and you could hear the sounds of battle from a far. Metal hitting metal. The grunts and yells from villagers. You wanted to help...To fight. But you don't have a weapon. You creep up the hill and peer down onto the ciaos.

                   You can hear screaming coming from the burning house. A woman and a child. You act w/out thinking. You started looking for something like a bucket, but there was nothing in sight. Making sure you couldn't be seen, you focus on the sea. Feeling the power of it coursing through your veins. Feeling the heart beat of every creature and plant with in. You can feel your left eye glowing a brilliant shade of sea green. Forcing the water to bend to your will and douse the flames on the house. 

                   "NO!!" You hear someone scream. A male's voice that wasn't young, but not old either. "Gah, I'll be back, Garroth! Just you wait!" 

                   You hear a loud pop and ringing in my ears. Everything blurs and you fall to your knees, clutching your throbbing head. You knew you shouldn't have called on Umi like that.  You barley have time to process the fact that a man with beautiful pale blue eyes had just spotted you when everything turned dark.
