Amazion: The Battle of Fortrest [EDITING]

Strange Vicinity = Northria

Tina'e's Viewpoint:

As soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on a bed.

My body started to ache when I realized that my entire self was wrapped with plenty of bandages, from head to toe.

I still felt kind of nauseous.

To me, the entire thing was a blur, so I decided to rest a bit more.

---------------------------------------

Meanwhile, outside the infirmary, there were two men conversing.

They tried their best to keep their voices down.

One man was a stubby-looking fellow. He had a beard and crazy brown curly hair.

Well, the other one needed no explanation. He was the man that saved Tina'e's life. He was rather tall, slim and he bore the mark of a true sol guardian.

"You can't keep her in there forever," said the man with the beard. "He will find out, eventually," he continued.

The man with the mark replied:

"Please Argoeux. Just, just... do the best you can."

"Oooo, your in for a lot of trouble, you know that right?"

"Ha... yeah...as if I'm never in trouble," the young man said.

As soon as he started walking away, Argoeux then asked:

"You lit the place on fire again, didn't you?"

The man abruptly stopped in his tracks.

He smiled and simply kept walking.

This man was Derekyanu.

The nephew, of the Sun King, Dalereno.

Derekyanu's Viewpoint:

Once I got out the door, many things started going on in my mind.

"WHY COULDN'T I SAVE BOTH OF THEM?! WHY AM I SO WEAK? I WOULD NEVER ABANDON ANYONE! Damn it!"

I punched the pillar beside me. A small dent appeared after that.

It turned out, that I wasn't alone.

A figure appeared beside it, but I just kept walking.

"Where do you think you're going?" It asked me.

"I just need some fresh air alright... Just, leave me alone." I replied.

"You do know that Argoeux isn't quite a good liar?"

*sigh*,  "He told you?"

"E V E R Y   detail. Care to explain?" The man replied.

"I'm tired Uncle, would you please let me go to bed? I had a rough and tiring day as it is."

I started brisk-walking my way out, but then he grabbed me by the shoulder.

"Hey! Derek! Listen to me. If I didn't know you were out there, I'd never forgive myself. Don't antagonize me. This is about you." He continued.

"I did what I think was necessary okay? I was simply making my way back to the castle, when I suddenly came across one of his hideaways. Did I not mention that I heard screams of torture and pain? I had to try my best to lure the guards away. What would you do in a situation like that, hmph?"

Dalereno was just silent.

Placed a hand on my shoulder, he let out a soft sigh and replied:

"I would've done the same thing. But you know the law, outsiders are strictly prohibited in the fortress. Nothing gets in and definitely NOTHING... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... gets out."

He looked at me sternly.

"However, I don't think of it that way." I responded. "Just think of her as my personal guest. She'll be up and at 'em in no time. Promise. After all, we got Argoeux."

As I said this, Argoeux started rushing towards our direction.

"Hey Argo, we were just talking about you-"

"W-hat?" he asked, "Wait... w-e shall talk about that later! In the meantime, both of you have to follow me! Quickly now!"

We both looked at one another and wasted no time. Heel on heel, we hastily followed and ran after Argo to the infirmary. It seemed like he found something very important.

And that something will soon change our lives... Forever.
