Warrior - The Weeping Monk

Part 17

Adira quickly pulls the harness around the horses neck to stop her as Allison and Adira watch as a tornado like wind begins to flow around a burning building and swallow up the flames 

"are you doing this?" Allison asks in shock as they watch it in amazement but the weeping warrior shakes her head and looks across to see Morgana, Kaze and Nimue standing on the borderline of the forest and Nimue had her hands wrapped firmly around the hilt of her sword while the blade was in the ground 

"No, its not me, its nimue" Adira replies quickly and then the fire begins to get lifted up into the sky and by now everyone had stopped fighting and were just watching it. Another trail of wind, that is a lot darker, like smoke comes out of the sky and starts to head towards the paladins, the weeping monk, gawain and arthur

Kaze runs forwards and grabs Gawain and Arthur and pulls them out of the way and then it clicks in Adiras mind what the smoke was and what was happening 

"Oh no" Adira says and then jumps off the horse "Stay here Allison, ill be back"

"But i-" Allison starts but Adira shakes her head

"I need you to stay here okay, just this once" The weeping warrior tells her and Allison nods hesitantly and then Adira runs in towards the smoke

"its the witch, she has come for us" A red paladin states in fear 

"Quiet" Adira hears the weeping monk growl angrily and then yelling from the paladins echoed throughout the smoke and spread from each person like a disease and the weeping monk looks around in confusion and doesn't notice a paladin with a large blade charging towards him until he hears the yell of the paladin and he quickly turns to face him but he doesn't get enough time to pull out his own blade, he waits for the impact and turns his head slightly and closes his eyes but when the impact doesn't come he quickly looks back up with open eyes and sees a girl with long brown hair in front of him with her blade in the neck of the paladin that was about to attack him

"well well well, who would have thought i would have seen you here" The weeping warrior asks sarcastically with a grin and he doesn't reply, instead he stared at her in confusion and shock and she rolls her eyes "its alright, there's no need to thank me for saving your life or anything"

He was still shocked but the mocking tone in her voice triggered something in his brain and also in his heart but he just couldn't force himself to remember where he knew it from, he had his thoughts about a girl it could have been, she reminded him a lot of her but it was impossible, the girl he knew was dead "You saved me, why would you save me"

"i don't know, it just seemed fun to run into a pile of smoke and save the guy whos been killing hundreds of fey, ya know what i mean" She replies "now come on, get ya swords out so you can defend your self, i gotta pop off, there's someone waiting for me and i really need to get back to them"

He didn't know why but he felt a weird feeling in the bottom of his gut as she talked about having someone waiting for her "well you better not keep him waiting" He said and she easily picked up the venom and disgust in his tone which only made her grin 

"Yeah, ill tell the 13 year old fey girl sorry to keep her waiting" The weeping warrior says and she notices his facial features soften and his cheeks went a little bit red and for a second she could see the man he used to be, the man he was years and years ago, the man she dearly missed, the man she loved "well ill see ya later princess" she says and then begins to walk off and go find Allison 

"god, he really is an oblivious idiot isn't he, like did it not come to his mind that neither of us were affected by the smoke yet everyone else was" Adira mumbles to herself and rolls his eyes "I swear, he's as dumb as a ding bat sometimes"

"Master, is that you?" Allison calls out as she notices a figure walking out of the smoke towards her and Allison smiles when she sees the familiar blue eyes and braided and wavy brown hair and short figure 

"Yes child. come along now, we must be going" Adira says softly to the girl and climbs onto the horse and they began to trot away

The weeping monk fought his way out of the smoke and let out a large yell of anger as he realises the fey had gotten away and so had the wolf blood witch as well as the weeping warrior. But the main thing on his mind was the ocean blue eye, why did the girl remind him so much of Adira, the girl who had died 9 years ago. why did the weeping warrior save him and not kill him, all of those times that they had battled, she easily could have killed him but she chose not to even though he had killed thousands of her kind and had tried to kill her, the weeping warrior was exactly like Adira, maybe they were related in someway or maybe a doppleganger of some kind, but no matter what new excuse or explanation made its way into his head, he couldn't stop thinking about her
