Adiras eyes opened and she noticed Allison was still asleep with her arms wrapped around her. Adira carefully untangled herself and made sure not to wake the girl and she quickly went over to her clothes pile and got out a pair of clean black clothes that had small knives attached across the hip and two sheathes. One on the back and one on the right hand side


Adira gave the girl one last look to make sure she was still asleep before turning her back towards her and she began to get changed into her clean set of clothes. She quickly changed her pants over first and then took of her dirty shirt and began to pull on a clean one and she hadn't noticed that the young girl behind her had woken up


"Where did you get those" Adira heard and she quickly pulled on her shirt and then her jet black cloak and turned to the girl


"Get what Allison" Adira asks her but doesn't look at her and just grabs her swords and then reaches her hand out for Allison to take "come along now little one. The day is only short and there is no time to lay around doing nothing"


"The scars on your arms and your back" Allison tells her softly but Adira just ignores her but gives her a small pat on the back and then leads her down to where the rest of the fey are.


Adira leads Allison over to some fey children and let's go of her hand but Allison grabs back onto it and doesn't let go


"You must stay here. I have to go help the sky people. The red paladins will be arriving there soon" Adira tells the girl softly


"Then I will come with you. I want to help them too" Allison says and it makes Adira smile softly under her mask as the girl reminded her of her younger self


"When you are older child. For now just have fun. You shouldn't have to worry about these kinds of things at such a young age" The weeping warrior tells the young girl "I will be back soon"


Adira softly pushes Allison towards to children and goes to make her way out to her horse but is stopped by one of the elders


"You can not go out there today" the elder tells the girl and Adira get confused and tries to pass around the woman but the woman grabs onto her arm


"I have had a vision. Many of the sky people will be slaughtered but this particular massacre has to occur for it will deliver us a very important person. A woman who wields a great weapon, the sword of the first kings. The two of you will be out saviours" the elder tells the weeping warrior who looks at her in confusion but stops walking and stands in front of the elder with a hidden smirk under her mask as she looks at the older woman


"A woman wielding the sword of power. Well that sounds pretty good to me. I would be honoured to work beside a fair and just queen for once. But are you sure i cannot go and save them, it is my duty to protect the fey" Adira ask the woman and the woman nods her head at adira sadly 


"I'm afraid so. it will be for the best" The elder tells her and adira lets out a sigh before turning back into the fey safe haven and then she went in and found Allison who was not playing with the other kids but was sitting by herself 


"come along now child" Adira tells the girl and walks over to her and grabs her hand softly and begins to lead her through the fey and outside, a short distance away 


"what are we doing here?" Allison asks quietly and looks around at all of the weapons that were on stands or laying on the ground around them and there was also targets around hanging from trees and posts in the ground


"Im going to teach you" Adira says and grabs two boys and two back bags full of arrows and hands one of each to Allison and then keeps some for herself "I am going to teach you how to fight"


Allisons eyes lit up in excitement and adira pulls an arrow out and then aligns it in the bow and pulls the string back and then aims toward a target and lets go of the string and the arrow goes straight into the middle of the target and Allison watches her in awe.


"Its going to take lots of time and hard dedication but i believe that you will be able to come a great warrior one day" Adira tells the girl who begins to pull an arrow out and load it into the bow but was obviously struggling so adira went behind her and grabbed the girls hands in her own and began to guide her in what to do and she lets go of the string and the arrow hits the edge of the target "That was good"


"but i didn't even hit the circles" Allison says sadly and adira chuckles softly


"But you still hit the target" Adira tells the girl and then steps away from her before saying "Again. breathe and then let go of the string, keep your arms steady and don't move before you shoot, be still"


Allison nods her head softly before repeating her actions and doing what Adira told her to do and then she let go of the string and it got closer to the middle than her last shot and a big happy smile covers the girls face and she begins to jump around in happiness 




After training for a few hours the roar of thunder could be heard and it causes both Allison and Adira to look up at the sky in shock. they had been in a drought and there hasn't been any rain for ages beside the rain that Adira had caused. Its was a sign. Adira leaned down in front of Allison and Allison crawled onto her back and adira stood back up again and they began to make their way back to the other fey


"you did well today little one" Adira tells the girl 


"Why don't you call me Allison?" the girl asks as they continue to walk and rain begins to fall down around them 


"you do not know my name, therefore you cannot call me by my name so i see it as only fair that i do not call you by yours" Adira tells the girl softly 


"what is your name?" Allison asks her and adira doesn't reply so Allison continues to ask questions "why do they call you the weeping warrior?"


Allison doesn't say anything and just continues to walk back
