"well well well, what do we have here?" adira chuckles and begins to poke the hooded figure in the cheek and his eyes open up quickly and he looks up at the girl in shock


"The weeping warrior" squirrel says in shock as he sits up, just waking up as well


"young warrior, are you alright?" the girl grins as she lays eyes on the young boy and then smirks over at the weeping monk who was still laying against the tree "what a pleasant surprise to find you here" she says sarcastically


Adira leans down close to the monk antagonisingly and gives him a pat on the shoulder "okay so I'm here for the boy, so if you would just let me take him that would be great" and she stands back up and begins to walk over to squirrel


"That wont be happening, i need him for something" the monk tells her


"Isnt he a little young for you," Adira smirks playfully and the monk finally got what she meant and he rolled his eyes


"Not for that you idiot. i need him for bait" The monk tells her angrily and stands up and walks over to block the boy from Adira


"What, for more sky people or for the girl?" Adira says to him and his eyes widen but he quickly recovers and then answers her


"that is none of your concern" he tells her and then reaches over and grabs the boy but Adira grabs his wrist before he is able to pull the boy away

"Seriously. Are looking for another fight? I just want to get the kid and take him somewhere safe" the weeping warrior says and let's out a dramatic sigh "I'm kinda hungry so could we please make this a little bit quicker"

"You know, you remind me of someone" the weeping monk says suddenly

"Just kill him warrior" squirrel says and tries to pull his arm out of the weeping monks grasp but is unsuccessful

"Who do I remind you of. They must have been great" Adira says and then adds "and a bitch"

"She was great. She was very important to me" he says and let's go of the kid and then grabs his swords and pulls them out and holds them infront of him "but she was taken from me"

Adira begins to think of the last day that she had spent with Lancelot 9 years ago and she quickly tried to shake the horrific memories out of her head  and she too grabs her swords and holds them in front of her, gripping them tightly in her dirty hands

"Ready?" Adira asks and raises her eyebrow cheekily towards the weeping monk and he doesn't reply and instead he just charges for her with his blade but she easily blocks it with her own and then she uses her other one to swing at him and he uses his second blade to block it

"Try to kill me. Don't hold back" the weeping monk tells her and she shakes her head

"What's the fun in that. And besides you still have so much left to live for" Adira tells him and jumps backward away from him and they continue to fight and squirrel watches it and cheers on the weeping warrior but he was confused. The girl was obviously far greater than the boy her neither of them had any cuts of them though the monk was clearly running out of stamina

After another half an hour Adira let's out an annoyed huff "come on seriously can you just give me the kid. We're gonna be all night and there is someone else I need to check on and I am starving"

"Can you really be thinking about food right now?" The monk asks in confusion and she just sits down on the ground and stabs her swords into the ground

"Just kill me. I'm about to die of hunger anyways" Adira whines and the monk actually chuckled at that and he put his swords away and walks over to his horse and gets on it

"Take the boy. But warn the rest of the sky people, I'm coming for them. Go" he tells them and then rides off on the horse and then Adira walks over to squirrel and unties his hands

"Were you really going to let him just kill you" squirrel asks in shock and confusion as he looks up at the girl and she started walking so he began to quickly follow after her

"He wouldn't have killed me. Not when I was like that anyway" the warrior tells the boy and he looks up at her in confusion

"How could you be so sure. He murders hundreds of us a day" squirrel says and Adira could tell the boy was scared but he was extremely good at hiding it. She wouldn't be surprised if nobody else noticed it. The only way she could notice it was because she used to act the same way when she was frightened as a kid

"Just a hunch" Adira lies and the boy knew she was lying but he chose not to question it and she was greatfull for that. "Are you hungry young warrior" she asks and looks down at him and he nods his head "good. I'm taking you somewhere where you will be safe. I have already went around and found all of the survivors of the sky people I could find. You shall see them again when we arrive. And there should be some food"

"Why are you helping us. You warned us and we didn't listen to you" squirrel says to her and she just looks ahead and continues to lead him

"I like helping people. It is what my purpose is" Adira tells the boy
