Chptr 1 Unwanted visitors pt 1
The late afternoon sunlight poured into the main hall of Celines manor as we readied our gear for our next phase of our journey. It had been almost three weeks since arriving at her place, broken, battered and dying. I am told Darius was the person who carried me out of the Arena. No ones sure how i survived, the poison used against me should have killed me. Another mystery concerning my health. Ive never actually taken long o heal from anything. but im getting sidetracked. After three long weeks, thinking of nothing but the phoenix i had seen in my thoughts, i was finally ready to find it. We had all healed considerably, but we were still short one very important person... She was kept in a mausoleum near Celines manor, waiting for us to return with the phoenix' down, and bring her back. The one thing that crawled through my mind, my very soul was that it was me who killed her, or at least 1/3 of me. I hated myself for it, loathing so deep it scarred my soul, tormenting my thoughts. I had killed the women i loved. to make up for it, i would do anything neccesary to revive her, travel to the ends of the earth and back again.
" Are you ready Ark? " celine asked, after our preperations seemed complete.
"Not yet, i want to say goodbye first. " i said heavily, and both Celine and Darius knew what i meant. Celine smiled sadly.
" Go, We'll be here when you get back."
I nodded, and started to walk towards the cemetary. The clean, mountain air was bitingly cold, it was nearly october, and being so far north, winter set in early here. I wrapped my cloak around me, slightly obscured by my blade and kept going. The trees, orange and fiery shed their leaves in teh breeze as i passed. The crimson and gols cascade was truly beautiful, Yulie would have loved it. Thinking of her brought tears to my eyes, of what id done. I trudged along the path and i had never felt so alone.
