Love in the Woods

Chapter 4: The Revenge of Orins

Fabian and Thania started their training and the Princess taught Fabian alot of tricks and how to use the armors. 

The princess first taught Fabian about archery. 

"First, hold the bow tightly so that it will not go with the arrow once you release it."

"okay, then what's next?"

"Aim it and release your arrow"

Fabian hit the bulls eye! And Thania was totally impressed. She never thought about teaching someone and got it right by one try.

"Impressive" the princess greeted Fabian and she let him try once more. And once again, Fabian did it very well!

"Wow! You're a fast learner, 'chosen one'"

Fabian didn't reply and just gazed at the princess' eyes, to the nose and down to her red lips.

"You're beautiful"

Thania, didn't mind Fabian and told him to proceed to the next schedule of their training since he was a fast learner.  

Princess Thania asked Fabian about the three black diamonds. Fabian directly held the diamonds with his two hands from his pocket.  Thania told Fabian about the diamonds.

"These diamonds represent the three days of battle between the kingodms. These diamonds will shine and turn into white whenever the Orins is near. it will help us get ready for the fight. For now, we will never tell anyone that our kingdom is hidden. Let the Orins discover this and if they discover this, We are ready because you are here, chosen one."

"So what will I do with this?"

"I have this belt and I will put these diamonds here and wear it wherever you are."

Princess Thania inserted the diamonds into a strong belt of stone. Fabian wore it around his waiste and he looked more like a prince on it.

"It looks good on you, Fabian"

"Oh, really..."

before Fabian could say a word, the princess gave him a short stick and told him to continue with their training.

Princess Thania  picked a stick and showed him how to use it. She pointed the stick to boulder near the hill side and threw the stick on that boulder like throwing a paper. A snap was heared and the boulder came rolling down and it broke. Rocks were everywhere  falling like rain but the rocks did not hit them. 

 It was Fabians turn as expected; he did it great on his first try so as his second and third. Next is using the feet to run as fast as he could and stop unexpectedly to kick out the enemies behind him. Thania performed this with the other props that she made and letting Fabian do it. As expected, Fabian did good even at his first try. 

They practiced fencing. Fabian was really good at it and then, Thania wanted him to fight with her. It took them almost half an hour to bring one down and suddenly, Fabian threw Thania's sword and pointed his sword to her neck making Thania lean backwards and the princess lost her balance and almost fell...

AND WHEN FABIAN CATCHED her and their eyes were looking to one another as if their eyes were talking.  Fabian could have kissed her when Thania begun a word.

"Oh, Well You did great!" Thania just smiled but deep inside her, she knew that the feeling was strange. 

"Thank You, your highness." Fabian replied awkwarldy.

"You made a one-day traing! And you did great, chosen one. I guess chosen one shouldn't be your title anyomore, I guess I should call you, 'Sir' since you have proven that you really are the strongest knight of all time, Fabian. You mastered everything in just one day! But one Day, it's not enough to be ready for the fight. We need presence of mind, awareness and we need to be wise at all times. Who knows, one of the Orins were spying us. Be ready all the time.... Sire! Now you can go and rest!"

"Thank You, Princess. I will never let Pipalupi down specially, you, my ever dearest."

Thania raised her brow and Fabian rephrased his words.

"I will never let you down, my dearest Princess."

And Fabian continued his walk going to his room.

On the outside of the invisible barrier, an Orin was wandering around. He was very curious about the plain fields when long time ago it was a forest owned by the East people. He looked at every part of the surrounding and he as he stepped his foot forward, he felt strange. he stepped another foot forward and another forward. When he held his head up, It was the silent falls of Pipalupi! He found the hidden place of the East people.  He ran as fast as he could to see their leader and report what he saw. When the Orin sheared about this, they were all alarmed and they are getting ready for their revenge. At the strike of 6 in the evening, they all went to the border getting ready to attack.

When the Orins arrived, they scattered around to search for the princess. The black diamond shined and turned to white. Fabian saw this and shouted in alarm. 

The whole kingdom was alarmed and got ready to fight. The princess direclty got her bow and arrow together with the sword for Fabian. At the stairs of the open castle, flock of Orins shouted "BRING OUT THE PRINCESS!" Fabian told Peba to hide Princess Thania to a place where she will be safe. 

Peba hid the princess to her closet that no one can uclock it exept her, Peba and her trusted servant. That closet was like a huge chamber. Hanging in front of it was her clothes and beyond it was a spacious and bright that almost ten people could fit in there. At first, Thania didn't want to hide but Fabian tolde her that it is for her sake. Their intention was to kill the princess and get back what is theirs. 

At Thania's closet, she heared alot of screams, explosion and any other sounds about the war. She wanted to help them out there but she believed that Fabian would scare them away. She prayed at the closet and asked her father to guide their people in fighting.

Fabian did his best to strike all of the enemies, together with the other soldiers of the kingdom. Fabian used the bow and arrow to strike all of them and used the sword to strike their nets and defeated anyone who wants to stab him.

Thania fell asleep in the closet and when she woked up, she heared a good news. The Orins were no longer there. But Peba believed that there will be another day of war tonight and tomorrow until the next night. But she believed that they will succeed as long as Fabian will never find his weekness.
