Land Of Kinra - Thirteen

Crism looked to Libra. "What is it?" he asked.

Libra stayed silent for a moment. "Um..I'm...not going to hold anything against you anylonger...about...." she trailed off.

Crism smiled some. "...Really?" he asked.

Libra looked up to him. She nodded slowly. "Yhea.."

Crism smiled wider. "Thank you.." he said.

Libra nodded. "But, please, don't drink that stuff again.."

Crism nodded firmly. "That I can swear upon." he said.

Libra smiled. "Good...but..."

"Hmn?" Crism asked, looking to her.

"..What did you mean that you've always liked me..?" Libra asked.

Crism turned his head and blushed. "Well...just...that...I..." he started. He sighed some. "I do like you Libra, I really do." he rushed out in a single breath.

Libra fell silent. She nodded, and walked off, blushing somewhat. "O-okay.."

Crism rushed off as well, he couldn't beleive he just said that. He bonked himself on the head, repeating 'stpid' to himself dozens of times.

Veldor watched as people passed by, he wasn't sure if his reputation had followed him here too, but, right now it looked as if it didn't.

Evane grinned, and then sat over by Veldor. "So, whyis it that you actually like Conia so much, hmn?"

Veldor rose a brow, and loked over. "...Why the sudden question?" he asked.

"Just curious."

"....Well, I'm not sure. So, I'll save that one for when Conia's alive." he said, turning to the spirit, and then walked off and explored the city.

Evane sighed. "...Fineee..."

Harakan looked behind her. "Come forth, Devinol." she growled, as Devinol appeared there. "I told you not to tell her name to anyone. Now why is it that you told her entire group?!"

Devinol was silent.

"Well!?"

"...I'm sorry m'lady...my judgement was fogged by the death of Annalise." he said.

"So hopeless.." Harkan sighed.

Devinol stood up from his kneeling point. "M'lady, what is my punishment?" he asked.

Harakan thought for a moment, then looked over to him. "How long have you served me?" she asked.

"Twenty years, m'lady."

"How many times have you slipped up?"

"This would be a first."

"Hmmm..." Harkan thought, serveing that long withouit mistakes was rather a record. She turned to him, and walked over. She held her palm up and a surge of ice ran through Devinol's blood. Freezeing him for a moment. She melted the ice and then sighed. "A first offence isn't much, but doing anything else and I'll kill you, in the most brutal way." she hissed, and vanished.

"Yes, m'lady.." Devinol said, regaining himself from the coldness of his blood.

Harakan brought herself to appear infront of Veldor.

Veldor stiffened. "What is it that you want?" he growled.

"Bring Yuaii, in the Cave of Despair. I'll resurrect your jester if you do. This is the only bargin I'll give you, so don't screw up. Bring her by nightfall." Harakan said, eyeing him, then vanished again.

Veldor stood there. It was between Libra's safety, and Conia's life. He sighed softly, and walked, looking for Libra.

Libra was sitting in the outdoor garden, the sun beginning to fade behind a few clouds. "Mmmm.." she hummed, not hearing Veldor coming from behind her.

"Libra?"

She jumped some, and turned around, and saw Veldor. "Yhea?" she asked.

"I need you to come with me for awhile..." he said. Once Harakan gave Conia her body back, he'd just defeat her. With the help of Libra of course.

"Okay.." Libra said, standing up from the concrete bench she was on. "Where are we going?" she asked.

Veldor grabbed her arm loosely, hurrying to the cave. Nightfall was approaching quickly. "You'll see."
