My God

My God 17 )

I was walking through the palace halls, on my way to a library to study on this stone when Tabak appeared next to me.

"So, I'm sorry about last night. It wasn't cool to sneak up on ya like that and just barge in"
I was still wearing my training gear, as was Tabak.

"It's okay, really"

"So did you guys humpty dump?" I blush as I remembered his hands on me, his body pressed against mine, his lips attacking me so passionately.

"No. We were interrupted. I think it's just a thing" I say with a smile.

"Where is Enas? Isn't he under twenty-four hour watch?" She questioned, doing a 180 turn before swinging back to me.

"Yeah, he's with Ignis. They're 'discussing brotherly matters' which is code for 'I know you're trying to bang Carla and you better not be a shit show" I say with a sigh.

"Haha well I've known Enas since we were children.
He's always loved his spells, always adored people worshipping him and loves the idea of the throne.
He was lost in his anger and rage until he met you"

We reached the library doors and I stopped. I didn't want a soul to follow me.
"And I changed him?" I say. She smirks.

"Ignis beat me to that talk"

"Yeah by about three months" I admit, recalling the time he said I alone was the one to change Enas.

"I believe that people change by choice and nothing else. I couldn't change him. He wanted to change"

"Yes but you helped him. That's more than what we can say, I mean, we hated him. Now, we see him as a broken person, something trying to fix himself, are we skeptical that he'll hurt someone? Yes of course but he's different with you, more gentle"
I took her words in and recalled last night, the incident with Mardus, how we almost..
He was jealous, aggressive and had a short fuse but he did it all out of my protection.

In his own messed up way, he was trying to protect me and himself. It's the only way he knew how.

"Anyway darling, I've gotta go, a warriors day is never over!" Tabak shouted as she started sprinting through the halls.

She was a strange character but I loved her no less.

Sometimes I still found it so unreal how I've been here for over six months, how in that time I've become powerful, made friends, have moments with my soulmate who is a deranged psycho who isn't.. a deranged psycho..

I shake my head of my thoughts and walk into the library.
Ever since that second vision, with Salo and that guard, how he stuffed the stone into his pocket without even telling the public they had a stone here.

It's got me thinking, why steal the power stone of light? What's the purpose in having these stones? Why does Zalla wish to destroy everything, kill Salo? What has he done (ha.) to hurt her? Is she another tyrant seeking war? And why didn't Salo grab both crystals that day? Why only the crystal of light?

I ended up searching through the six floors of the palace library, ladders, high places, low places, under tables, nothing.
No golden book with gold leaf pages.

"Can I help you find something?" I turn to see an older man with a smile on his face.

"No I'm good thank you" the less who knew the better.

"That's a shame cause you could help me" I frown at this old man with disgust and fear.
A golden glow illuminates around his body and before I know it, Enas is standing before me, his hands behind his back, wearing a white shirt, black pants and a black and gold cloak with no sleeves.

"Oh my god you scared me you asshole!" I say shoving him slightly.
He dips his head in laughter.

"Sorry my dear, I couldn't resist" I smile and realise my search will have to wait. Yes I trust Enas but I also know his deep hate for his father so I'll hold off on finding it for now.

He goes in to kiss me and I giddily reply back by leaning into him when we were interrupted.
"Is this just the norm for us?" He groaned pulling away from me.

We turned and saw about three people all standing around the library with weapons, swords, axes, the works.

"Well well, if it isn't the queen killer" they sneered. Enas tensed and I look at the dickwads with anger.

"Back off douchebags. I'll kick your ass so hard you'll feel it until next year" I threaten.
They laugh.

"Aw little girl, you may be his little sex slave but that's all it is"

"She isn't a sex slave" he snapped, conjuring up a few magic orbs to dance around his body.

"No" I push on Enas's chest "no stop this is what they want"

"Well then let's do it" he snapped back. The others started to mimic him and laugh.

"Hey back the frick off assholes, you've done enough damage" I snap, turning around to the small group.

"Oh come on little girl, what can you do? Plait my hair?" One says, he has thick brown hair in a bun with a disgustingly unkept bread.

"Quit calling me a little girl" I say holding my hand out in a fist, the way superman does when he flies.

"Oooo, I'm so scared fellas" the other one says, his bald and fat. Like he ate the biggest loser contestants then had desert, times six.

"Yeah watch out for her unmoving fist" the last one said. He was tall like freakishly tall and skinny, with bony arms and legs and a hollow pale face.

"Bye bye boys" I say shooting an energy orb at them.
They scream as the impact sends them flying into six shelves before hitting the library wall. Books and wood topple onto them as they try to figure out what just happened.

"Come on, lets go" I say to Enas as I grab his arm and drag him down the nearest staircase. He made his energy orbs disappear but I knew he was just waiting, itching to use his abilities.
I also knew that if he did, he'd kill those disgusting 'warriors' without blinking.

"You little runt!" The unkept beard guy said, swinging an axe at us.
I quickly made a force field, sending him through the air again before we jumped off the stairs.

Enas landed with a graceful thud on the ground whilst I hovered next to him.
"You're The White Warrior?!" The skinny one says as he realises I'm holding a massive line of energy like a whip.

I didn't know we came up with a code name for me yet but okay. The White Warrior it is..
Jesus that's a bad name.

"Yes I am. So back the fuck off!" I say.
The three of them collected together down at the entrance to the library. Our exit.

"No! We've got a bone to pick with Enas. He murdered our queen! The public is furious he isn't kept in a prison! Rot in chains! He ruined this realm, he has brought nothing but chaos and just because one- ONE- Yaldvirian citizen says let him go- they do! He killed my sister in the war of the undead!" The other one shouts, holding his overly large hammer in one hand.

"Shut up! He's dealing with those consequences, he's not the same as he was! Haven't you learnt that by now?" I shout, throwing the line of energy at them, they were all knocked off their feet and fell on their guts.

"He's right Carla" Enas says from behind me.

"No, no he isn't" Enas runs out of the library and is halfway down the hall by the time I can say anything.
I mumble a 'fuck' under my breath and turn back to the crooks.

"You are all monsters" I say to the three bandits who were trying to jump to their feet.
I smack them down with a giant energy hammer of my own and run after Enas.

"E! Hey wait!" The running Enas disappears and I realise it's an illusion. He used his magic to turn invisible. But why? Why run?
Where did he go?
What was he thinking? Why?
