Garroth X Laurence X Aaron X Reader. Who to choose.

Back to Phoenix Drop.

I can't sleep. Aaron has the watch now, but every time I close my eyes, I see them. My family, dead. My village, destroyed. Not to mention the survivor's guilt. I look up at the sky. I try to sleep anyway, but I can't. I give up soon and sit with Aaron. He doesn't try to persuade me to try and sleep. Once the sun rises, Aaron and I get things ready. All that's left is the still sleeping Arza, the blanket on her, and the tent above her. She finally wakes up.

"We got to get going if we want to make it back before nightfall." I say to her.

"No breakfast?" She asks.

"Like I said, we weren't ready for you."

"But you had to have food for another day."

"We did, but you needed the food then more than now. I was just saving you from dying earlier by giving you all that food last night. You can have your own horse today. After he and I pack up, we can head out."

"Ok." Arza walks off. Aaron and I finish packing up. He helps her up on her horse while I make sure everything is packed up.

"Why don't you tell me your name so I can properly thank you." Arza says to Aaron. He shrugs and walks over to our horse, originally his. He hops up and hold out his hand to me. I grab it and hop up. We ride back to Phoenix Drop near sunset. I meet Dante at the gates.

"Hey guys. Happy to see you made it back!" He yells down.

"Always happy to see a friendly face." I yell up and smile. I feel like I have to wear a mask around theses guys. Like I've come to terms with my parents' death. Only Aaron knows how I really fee. I'll probably yell Aphmau.

"Who's with you?" He asks.

"My name is Arza, what's yours?~" She asks in a flirtatious tone that makes me want to smack some lady like skills into her. I know I sound like a Grandma, bug this girl flirts with every hot or somewhat attractive guy she sees. She nasty.

"I'm a knight. Name's Dante. Lady Aphmau will want to see you, after she talks to F/N." He says.

"Maybe we can fill the time together." She says. I make a face, that she doesn't see, like Really? Dante seems to get the message.

"I have patrol. Sorry." He says. I nod in approval. He let's us in. Aaron takes Arza to Aphmau while I drop off the horses. I see Kiki there.

"What's up?" I say.

"Something strange, F/N." She says.

"You can tell me." I say. She comes down and shows me a pendent.,

"I'm a mom." She smiles.

"Huh?"

"This strange amulet will give me a child. It's hard to explain. Aphmau and Zoey can explain it better."

"I'm on my way there now."

"See ya."

"You too. Good luck Kiki."

"Thanks." I walk over to Aphmau. Aaron is waiting for me. I nod.

"Arza isn't done with Aphmau yet. We can wait out here." He says.

"Ok." I sigh. I don't feel like retelling my story, but I'll have to. Arza comes out with a smug look on her face.

"What?" I ask.

"You'll find out soon enough." I look at her, confused. She walks off. Aaron nudges me to go in. I nod. I find Aphmau in her basement. She doesn't look like her happy self. Sad.

"F/N, do you have any confessions to make?" She asks me.

"No. I don't understand." I say.

"Arza told me."
