Ilva had to piggyback me to our next activity.

"This", she said, gesturing airily, "Is Castle Cughurt."

I grasped what she was going to do.

"No Ilva, I'm not doing that", I said, backing away.

Castle Cughurt was well known for having a rare amount of crystals in its caves, one of which was unique, the only crystal that came from the Armani Desert.

"What?" She asked innocently, "It's not killing anyone."

"But this is what I promised myself I wouldn't do!" I hear myself retaliating, "I'm not following your example, Ilva!"

Ilva's face, that seconds before had been a mildly amused expression darkened to a snarl, "What do you mean by my example?"

"I'm not changing Ilva!" I say, roughly, "I'm not going to become an assassin like you want me to be! I'm not doing this any more!"

She stared at me for a moment, and cocked her head, the movement completely feline.

"Then leave", Ilva said, simply.

She walked in through the front gates of the massive castle gates, and dissapeared.

She knew she had piggybacked me here and that I had no idea where I was.

She knew I couldn't leave.

Author's note: Sorry, it's a bit short. I'll try and make the next one a bit more creative.
