"Now we wait and it should last enough to get to the village but will break soon"
"Thank you very much i dont know how i can repay you"
"No need i do this everyday help people"
Koki and the girl talked for a bit while they made their way to the village mostly the girl asking about koki while ignoring his questions
"Well thank you again for everything Koki"
"Its no problem um you haven't told me your name yet or anything about you"
"Its princ- i mean Nem my name is Nem!"

"Sorry not interested"
"We werent asking!"
Koki launch him self backwards escaping the attempted of the gaurds grabbing him
"That isn't very nice you know, show some manners"
"Thats enough from you little bra-"
A rock flew across and hit one of the two gaurds in the head
"Who threw that? You will pay"
"Get out of this town! We dont want you here!" The town folks began to throw rocks to the guards "Aye aye everyone calm down"
"Koki these men have no remorse for human lifes! They have saprated countless families"
"And we are no better if we treat them poorly dont be like them remember everyone is welcome here no matter their pass" the town folks stop and look down in shame "its fine we all make mistakes just dont let those mistakes define you remember our roots we come from nothing but we shouldnt envy anyone instead treasure what we do have"
"Yeah koki is right, we're sorry"
"No you town folks and you little brat will pay for this"
"That is fine by me" Koki began walking back towards the mountain as the guards ran back to their camp on the outskirts of the town. An arm reached and grab koki and pulled him causing him to fall on the ground "are they gone?"
"First ouch second who?"
"The gaurds"

"Nem can i trust you to sleep along side koki without him doing anything bad?"

"Actually mind sleeping next to me? Im not used to sleeping without my stuff animals"
"Are you sure?"
"...Yeah please if it isnt too much bother"

Both went to koki's room and lay down "Aye Nem what happened to the cart of fruit that you had?"
"Oh that? A man with a shop that sold food bought it off me all of it not too long before you left so it gave me time to walk around"
"I see most likely Mr Ramson anyways i heard you ran away from home question where is your home?"
"Home?..."
Koki stared at her not knowing how to feel about her
"Never mind that tomorow you can come with me in my daily rutine"
"Sounds good to me"
"Btw where did you get that earing? Its exactly like mine and i noticed you only have the right one"
"Oh a young boy gave it to me his father was a great knight and was at the kingdom most of the time and his son and i became close friends but then one day he stop coming"
"Kindom?"
"I mean i mean... i should just tell you im Princess Nemesis from the kingdom of XingLua
"So that's why you were worrried about the gaurds wait why are you here"
"The kindom is being corrupted and i heard that in this village live a great knight that could help there was five of them but no one has heard from them since years"
"What were they called?"
"They were known as *The 5 Hunted Shadows* the most dangerous and strongest people in the whole land"
"I bet they are pretty cool right?"
"They were once heros but now no one knows the truth about them mostly their leader named Silent he used to live here or so they say"
"Here? Never heard of it once"
"Guess the stories are just myths"
"Dont give up maybe there is someone else who can help"
"I hope so i dont want to see my kindom so broken"
"Look lets get some rest and tomorrow i will help you try to find someone"
"Sounds good to me"
Nem closed her eyes and was fast asleep "she must have been tired"
Nem started snoring lightly "thats cute, wait what am i saying?" Koki shaked his head no " I should just go to sleep, cute? Do i really feel like that? No no it cant b-" koki froze as Nem roll over and hug his arm, koki turned bright red "calm down calm down its not like that moron just go to sleep"
Koki's mind was full of thoughts as he only felt like this once before but not with anyone just a certain girl making him new to this type of emotion which he was uncertain of how to control or express.
