Bryan watched as Atticus left with a small sigh.  He knew he would be seeing him soon. Years had passed and with it, Bryan became taller, leaner, and more handsome. His hair was long and wavy and soft to the touch. Flora, on the other hand, was taller than him and her long brown hair darkened and her beauty shown tremendously. Bryan knew she was older than him but he was always protective of his older sister. He was busy riding his horse through the countryside when he saw Atticus riding towards him. His eyes were filled with anger as he rushed upon him.


"What are you doing on my land?", he asked.


"Your land? No this is the Kingdom of Sidon's land", Bryan said with anger in his deep voice.


He must've detected a tremble in the younger teen's voice because he put his sword away.


"Look, I'm not here to harm you, but if you don't leave I will have to fight you", he said. 


"You wouldn't fight a friend, would you?", Bryan asked.


"You are not my friend. You are an enemy", Atticus hissed.


"What about my sister?", Bryan asked.


Atticus drew his sword and stuck it close to Bryan's throat. 


"She is not a part of this", he said, his voice low and threatening.


Bryan gulped and backed away. He tripped and fell over a branch and Atticus was on top of him. Bryan threw a huge punch at Atticus' face and the older boy backed away. He touched his face and gasped at the sight of the blood. 


"Now leave my territory", Bryan said as he rose to his feet and stepped threateningly towards Atticus.


Atticus backed away and jumped back onto his horse. He sheathed his sword and raced off. Bryan watched him leave with anger burning inside of him like a flame. This wasn't over with.
