Brave swordsman

Fencer Vargas pov

"Vargas, can you help us with this?"

I looked up from cleaning my blade to see Honey trying and Shappire trying to move a heavy-looking cart. I nodded, then, I stood up, leaving my sword on the ground. I walked over and saw they had loaded down the cart with huge jars and food. "What's all this for?" Honey smiled as I gave the cart a good shove moving it out of the spot it seemed to be stuck in.

"The guild master asked me to make so of my famous pies and sweet potato casserole. As for the jars, they hold batches of some of my aged wine."

I nodded as I helped them push it onto the road as the two guys brought two-horse around.

"Sorry, we took so long!"

Honey smiled as they quickly hooked up the horse as I walked back over to my sword.

"Vargas!"

I looked back as I but my sword on my back as Trixie came running up. She ran up to me and help up the same poster as before.

"Gilda is getting the items, and we got confirmation there are two dragons!"

I laughed as she happily danced around as she looked at me. I smiled then shoved her shoulder as she looked around utter joy on her face. "Ok down girl, we're going as soon as Gilda is done.

"But that's not the best part!"

I looked at her for a second, then grabbed my hand and then started to pull me down the street.

"You won't believe what Luna did for us!"

She was rushing us down the main street, and I couldn't help but watch her breast bounce as she ran.

"Look!"

She pulled me into a part of the city with houses, and she pointed to a huge house. "Ok?" Trixie smiled as she looked back at me.

"She bought us a house!"

I looked at the small mansion with a yard around it. It was a lot like Honey's house, but the walls were whitewashed with a crescent moon over the doorway. The yard was full of green grass with a few plum trees and apple trees.

"There are a dozen rooms with a training hall, a massive kitchen, a garden, and a hot spring!"

She pulled my arm as she yelled, then pulled me into the yard, the gates closing behind us as she. Trixie threw the door open then pulled me down the right hall.

'You won't believe your room, Vargas."

I nodded as she pulled me up to a red and gold door on the other side of the hall was a star and a mist-like door next to a door with knuckle marks with cider mugs over the top. Trixie pulled me over to the door, then opened it, and I looked in. The room as a lot like the one I had at Honey's house, but this one had a few new things. An older model tv, A fireplace, and the floor seemed to be had of some kind of stone.

"Come look at my room!"

She grabbed my arm again then pulled me out of my room then into the mist-like door. She opened the door, and I was surprised at what I saw. The room was a little smaller but was filled with beautifully painted stars and mist on the walls and had a floor that seemed to be made of grass. Her bed was a king-size and looked like it was made from a wagon. She had a more massive desk with bookshelves on either side. She also had a fireplace, but her's had a moon with a magic wand with a trail of magic mist right behind it as if it was moving.

"isn't it great?'

I smiled as I nodded my head then pulled my arm free. "Ya, Luna really went all out, didn't she?"

"Ya."

I crossed my arms as Trixie walked over and sat down on the bed, pulling her dress bottom down as she looked up at me. I sighed as I leaned onto the wall as I looked at Trixie. "So, do you and Gilda have anyone who you want to join up with us?" Her smile dropped, then sighed as she used her magic to grab a pile of papers off her desk. She floated it over to me then I grabbed them out of the air. I looked at the top sheet and saw it was a stat sheet of a man.

Name Quick Slash/ Swordsman

Level 31

HP 1010

Atk 490

Def 400

Rec 600

'Hm, no extra skill is listed on this.' I looked threw a few of the sheets and saw all of them were all in there thridy's, but most would only slow us down. "Luna seems to think just throwing people in would make us pick? Just throwing someone else would destroy the teamwork we've managed to build."

"Ya, but our team does need to grow. We can have up to six members, and the extra help would be nice to have."

I nodded then heard the front door open.

"Hey, Trixie, did you get Vargas!?"

"Ya, we're in my room!"

I stood back up and looked out the door. I saw Gilda carrying a large wooden box with a bag on top of it. I set the stack down, then I walked out of the room, then took the box as she took the bag off.

"Can you set that in one of the spare rooms?"

"Ya." I walked over to the door next to Trixie's room. I opened the door and saw it was empty. No bed, no bookshelves, but had a fireplace. I sat the box down beside the door then walked back into Trixie's room as Gilda was looking over the stats sheets. She didn't look happy about the sheets.

"I'm not taking any of these punks to a fight with dragons!"

I nodded as I looked at her, then Gilda looked at me.

"We have enough heal potions and stamina potions. With two dragons, well need them."

I nodded then sighed as I looked down at the poster. "Two dragons, even with are teamwork, will be too much."

"Ya, but this could make our team's career. A dragon would make us legends, but two is a little much." They nodded, then we all looked between each other, then Trixie smiled and stood up.

"Well, I know how you feel, but we have to go. The lizardman and the females are making to much trouble to be left alone. We can fight them, but try not to fight with the dragons yet."

"I can live with that."

I nodded as I looked at Gilda. "Same here." We all nodded, then we heard banging. We all looked at each other, then I nodded as I walked out of Trixie's room and up to the front door as more bangs came. I opened the door then ducked as a fist nearly hit me in the face. I looked at the door and saw the Guild master with Star. "Sup, Guild master?"

"Can we come in?"

I nodded and stood to the side, letting them walk in. I closed the door as Trixie and Gilda walked out to see who was here.

"Master?"

The master opened his coat up, then pulled out a letter.

"Princess Luna has missions for all of you."

He looked down at the letter then looked at Trixie and Gilda.

"Girls, you're going to the everfree to search the old castle to find a magic artifact. As for you Vargas, the princess is waiting for you in my office. She has a specific mission for you."

"Yes, sir."

"Star, you take Vargas back to the guildhall."

"See you, girls, later."

They waved to me as I walked out with Star. She looked at a smile on her face.

"Sorry about this, I know you were going on the lizard manhunt, but I have an idea what this is about."

"Hm?"

"In the city about two train stops away is having trouble in the guildhall. A drug call rage is running through the guild."

I nodded as we walked down the street. "Let me guess, they're looking for unique fighters to advance their own agenda."

"Yes, but."

"Hm?" I looked at her out of the corner of my eye.

"They only take those who can kill an A-class monster alone."

I smiled as I grabbed my swords handle. "I think I can deal with anything, but I need to get their attention." She nodded as we walked into the guildhall.

"She's waiting for you."

I nodded then walked off to the master office. I walked down the hall and saw two of Luna's guards. I walked up to then, and they opened the door for me. I walked into the office and saw Luna sitting with Twilight beside her. Twilight was dressed somewhat like me but had a new staff leaning on the couch. "Twilight, Luna." I walked over to the other couch, then took my sword off and set it on the couch's side before sitting down. "So, why is Twilight here?" Luna cleared her throat as she started to speak.

"Both me and my sister think we could use this as a way for you two to get to know each other better. As for why the two of you are the one's going. Vargas, you have shown you are an incredible in close combat fighting with an insane amount of durability. You will be taking on all the combat while trying to gain access to the group."

I nodded then looked at Twilight. "So, I guess we need to talk?"

"Yes, I think we need to clear the air."

I nodded then stood up from the couch. "Come on, then, Luna, our train car is still free?"

"I'll send a letter to the station. You two get something to eat before you go. Oh, I also have a room for you two in the guildhall, but you'll be sharing a bed."

Twilight blushed, and I felt my face heat up a little as well. "Luna, you planned this!" An evil smile formed on her face as Twilight and I looked at her.

"Maybe, but, back in my hay day on the battlefield, a man and woman both strong would love to sleep together."

I huffed then turned my back on her. "Ok, I'm not hearing this!"

"What? I wrote it out, so you two were in a relationship. it would be strange if the two of you didn't share a room."

I sighed as I rubbed my eyes. "Twilight, please come on."

"Ya."

I looked back, and she followed me out quickly as Luna sat there laughing as she watched us."

"Thanks, that was beyond anything I thought she would do something crazy but nothing like that."

I nodded as I pulled my book out then turned to her page. Twilight looked at the book as I looked at her new stats.

"I see, you've leveled up to six-eight that's nice. I'm around thirty-three, but my attack and defense are still way higher than yours. But, your rec is the highest out of all of us so you must have incredible magic casting speed." She smiled as she looked at me.

"Ya, in Celestia's magic school for the gifted, I was top of my class."

I smiled and nodded as she kept on talking about her magic and her studies. She spoke the whole way to the station at times, stopping to show me magic. These seemed to make her happy as I listened to her.

"Hey, you two!"

We stopped, and I looked around and spotted Star. I turned as she came running up behind us. She had a wooden box in hand, but it was locked. She stopped in front of me, then held it out to me.

"The princess forgot to give this to you. She said if the worst comes, then use what's in here."

I nodded then took the slightly heavier box then it should have been. I thanked her, and she nodded before starting to run back. I smiled as I nodded my head and then turned back to see Twilight had walked a little ahead and grabbed to a few drinks from a street vendor. I smiled as I sat the back up on my shoulder before walking up to her. She smiled back up at me then held a cup up to me. I took it, seeing what I think was green tea. I sipped some of the tea, and I was right. I thanked her for the tea as we started to walk again.

"So Vargas, where does your family live?"

I looked straight ahead as we walked into the train station. "I don't have a family, Twilight. My parents and grandparents are gone." Twilight stopped as I walked up to the station stall. "Two for the royal cart." I showed my raid symbol, and she nodded before waving us over to the train. I nodded, then we walked in. I sat the chest down on the table, then took off my sword. Once I had everything off Isat down of the lower bed, and I looked up at Twilight as she stood in the doorway. "Well, come on. I know you want to ask me some stuff, so feel free." She smiled as she sat down on the couch then pulled out a book with a quill.

"I guess the first thing I want to ask is, how did all this start?"

I sighed as I laid down before I started to talk. "Well, I lived in a lone cabin in the forest with my grandparents as a child. But, there was a boy who's family lived a few miles away, and we'd meet up every so often until I thought we became good friends. Soon enough, we were meeting up every day for years. Then one day, he wasn't alone. Some people he owed a lot of money to we're chasing him, and he used me as a scapegoat."

"How could he do that?"

I huffed, then sat back up and turned to face her. I took my cape off, then my shirt making her blush. But, once my shirt was off, I watched her blush vanish as she saw the scar.

Twilight pov

I looked at Vargas's chest, and I was shocked at the jagged scar running over his whole chest and ended right at the bottom of his ribs. I dropped my book and quill as I covered my mouth as I looked at him.

"Ya, image getting it from how bad this looks. He left me for dead with those guys, but I survived. But, I never really gave much thought into why he did that. I have, however, have to think of it every damn day of my life.
My best friend slashed me before running away, leaving me to die like a dog."

I licked my lips as I looked at him, not sure what to say. I looked at him as he looked away from me and then touched his chest, rubbing the scar. I cleared my throat and spoke. "Does it hurt Vargas?" He sighed as he put his shirt back on but let the armor and took his book off his side. He set it down in the small shell on the wall.

"Ya, it always hurts. It cut deep into my bones, nearly cutting through my ribs. Each beat of my heart and breath I take hurts, but it's dulled over time."

He laid down, then turned to face the wall. I wanted to say something to him, but I couldn't find the words.

"I know you want to say something. But, there is nothing to really say when you see something like this. To someone like you, I may seem like nothing but a dirty criminal."

I felt that sting badly, and I couldn't even arrange it with him. He was right, seeing as I looked at his back. I'd treated him like an animal caging him with his whole body tied down. I sunk back into my spot as I looked at him.

"You know if I see him again by some long shot. I can't think of what I may do to him."

I blinked then cleared my throat as I sat back up. "Well, can I ask if you're going to kill him?" He laid there for a second, then he sighed before speaking.

"No."

He when quiet, and I took the hint, then stood up then took off the top layer of my clothes, leaving me unclothes. I skin-tight shirt with mini shorts.

"I didn't think you'd dress like that."

I turned to see him looking at him as he laid there.

I blushed then turn away from him as I pulled at my shirt. "Well, I can't sleep well in baggy clothes, so things like this work best." He huffed then laughed a little before talking again.

"Well, I guess you are better looking then I rights gave you credit for."

I felt my whole body heat up then I turned to look at him. He'd turned back over to look at the wall again. 'He is so strange.' I climbed in bed then rested my head on the pillow.

Vargas pov next day

I sat in the new Guildhall Twilight sitting at my side as I looked around. Seeing most everyone in here was a guy, and many were straight at Twilight as she used her cape to covered more of her body that showed more of her body. I wrapped an arm around her as I grabbed the handle of my sword with my other hand. A few of the older men looked at me with a snarl or flipped me off as they looked at me.

"V-Vargas!?"

I stared ahead as I waited for the guild master. I leaned in closer and started to talk in a hushed tone. "Twilight, you stay close to me or keep your guard up. Some of these guys will try something. I know these types of guys." She was quiet for a second the leaned into my side a little more.

"Ok."

I smiled as I looked at her out of the corner of my eye. "Don't worry, I promise you'll be fine, princess." She blushed as she rested more into my side as we sat there.

"Hey, you two."

I looked back up, seeing a young cocky looking ass hat.

"I'm the guild master Forge Hammer. I've read over everything, so your good to transfer here for the two months. Now, I want to see how strong you two are."

He pulled out a poster from his side bag, then held it out to us. I let go of my sword, then took the wanted poster and looked at it.

'Two Manticores are killing livestock in the large ranch a few miles out of the city. The reward was five hundred for both two-fifty hundred for one.'

I nodded as we stood up Twilight, not buried in my side but still close to me. "Well, be back, by midnight."

"Fine."

I grabbed my sword and set it on my back then looked back at him. "What about our room and dinner?" He sighed as he crossed his arms. "

"Once you get back, I'll see that you two get a good meal. As for the room it's ready too."

We turned then walked out of the guildhall Twilight, holding onto my cape. 'Hm, why did I take on this mission from Luna?' We walked into the market, pulled out my bits bag, and then walked up to a stand selling meat, dried goods, and sandwiches. "Twilight, get what you'd like we need to eat before we get going anyways."

"Thanks, Vargas."

I nodded as she pointed out to the sandwichs.

"I'll take that spring sandwich with any dried flowers you may have."

The woman behind the stand smiled as she took the sandwich off the rack with the flowers then gave them to her before turning to me.

"And what can I get the kind boyfriend?"

I laughed a little then nodded my head as I looked at her. "Sorry, miss, but I'm not her boyfriend were party members." She laughed as she looked at me.

"Well, she a pretty young lady you may want to make a move.~'

I blushed then nodded my head as I looked at her. "I see, well, I don't think she'll take someone like me. All I know how to do is swing a sword." She laughed as she looked at me, then she grabbed a tray of dried deer from her stand.

"Tell you what, I'll give you a discount two bits off a pound of dried deer."

I laughed a little the rubbed my head as I looked down at her. "Well, I'll pay full price, so I'll take five pounds." She smiled as she looked at me, then pulled a bag out from under her stand, then filled it with the five pounds then paid for everything. After a second, we started to walk away again.

"So, Vargas, are we going to sleep outside, or are we going to come back to the guildhall?"

"You can go back if you'd like too, but I'm staying out to deal with these things."

"Hm, you know Vargas, I'm ashamed by the way I treated you..."

I hummed then patted her back as we walked. "Don't worry about it, Twilight, I could care less about that kind of stuff. I believe if someone hasn't met or spoke to me, then I don't care about what they think." I stopped then looked down at her, and she was looking down at the ground, not wanting to meet my gaze if I had to guess.

"I'm..."

I turned then rubbed the top of her head, surprising her a little. "I could care less if you're going to apologize or say something else. I've long forgiven you for what happened." She looked even more ashamed as she looked at me then lowered her head more.

"Ok..."

I smiled as I rubbed her head one last time before I grabbed her free hand then started to walk again. "Come on, We have some monsters to take out. Oh, and give me a smile your much prettier when you smile." She blushed as I started us running down the streets.

Twilight pov two hours later

I sat up in the trees above the ranch house with Vargas down in the field, sitting with his back on his sword waiting. I looked around, trying to find which way something to come along.

"Got you!"

Vargas yelled, and I looked down, seeing he was gone from his spot. I looked trying to find him before something slammed into the tree under me. I looked down, seeing a headless manticore with Vargas standing there sword in one hand the head in the other. 'By Celestia.' I looked around to see the second manticore with a deep wound on his side. Vargas walked up to its sword raised high. He then spun it in his hand and then stabbed it into the manticores side, making it stiffen for a second before blood ran out of its mouth. "I-incredible, he took both out in the blink of an eye and what speed. Even Rainbow or Spitfire couldn't move at that kind of speed." Vargas pulled his sword out, then took off the head of the second manticore. I climbed back down as he pulled out the cores before putting his sword on his back.

"Hm, these two were young inexperienced with fighting. But, you would have been their next meal if I hadn't seen them out of the corner of my eye."

I looked at him, confused by his words. "What?" He pointed to the tree I came down from, making me look back. I froze when I saw claw marks starting to climb up the tree with a deep cut in the tree with blood on it. 'I didn't even hear these two monsters coming for me. I'm so glad Vargas was here with me I'd been in real trouble without him.'

"Hey."

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Vargas's voice. "Y-ya?" He smiled as he looked at me, then patted his head as he looked at me.

"I'm glad you weren't hurt Twilight. I don't know what would have happened if your got hurt with these things hunting us."

I blushed as I looked up at him, his hand softly rubbing my hair.

"Now, let's got and get some rest it's late and I want to get some sleep. I hope there's a couch or something for me to sleep on."

He took his hand off my head, then took picked his sword off the ground and put it on his back. Then he grabbed the two heads then started to walk with both heads over his shoulder. Then turned back to looked at me then rubbed the back of his head.

"Oh, and um... sorry for um knocking you out last time we were at the guildhall."

I laughed a little then started to follow him as he started to walk again. "Don't worry about it, Vargas. I was out of line with all of that was going on. So, when we get back I need to talk with Gilda and Trixie I have to say sorry to them." He laughed then nodded his head before talking in a much softer tone.

"Well, I've already talked those two out of coming for your blood so your all good. Besides, those two are rough around the edges but they do have good hearts."

I smiled as I looked at him then walked up beside him, then I grabbed his free arm, and then hugged it to my side. I laughed then leaned into his side, feeling the heat his body gave off in this cold air.

Vargas pov guildhall

"Hm, a nice warm meal on a cold night is nice."

"Ya."

I looked over at Twilight, seeing a small smile on her face. Then she laughed a little as she looked at me. I smiled, then grabbed a pick of bread and started to tear it up. "So, what's funny?" She laughed a little more than set her spoon down and locked her fingers together.

"Oh, it's nothing just remembering all those shocked looks when you walked in with two massive manticore heads on your back. Even the guild master looked like he was going to have a heart attack."

I laughed a little then nodded my head as I took a bite out of the bread, then nodded as I leaned back into the chair. "True, seeing those faces were well worth anything they could have snapped at us with."

"True, and not to mention a manticore is a class B monster not everyone survives their fight manticore battle. Only, one out of ten new adventures manages to survive their first encounter with one. But, you took out two of them in your first encounter so your name may very well start spreading."

I laughed then nodded my head as I took another bite before talking again. "Well, I'm not against that but I don't really want work without the girls tagging along. I started this mad dash with them so I want to keep running with them."

"I guess that makes a lot of sense oh. I have to ask how did you manage to escape my jail cell?"

I laughed as I put a finger to my lips as I looked at her. "I'll never tell." She laughed a little then nodded her head as she started eating again. I laughed as I finished my food, then stood up from my seat and gathered my stuff up. "I'm taking this stuff off to the kitchen."

"Hey, wait a second for me to finish mine."

I blinked as I looked at her then smirked as I sat back down. "Fine, but please make it quick. We both still need to get a bath before going to bed.

"Haha, yes sir."

I laughed then nodded my head as I rested my arms on the table. "Say Twilight, do you think I could ask you a few questions?" She nodded as she finished her bread before sipping at her soup. "Well, to start off with how about you tell me what you like to do for fun. Myself, I like to read about many things but I don't know magic well." She smiled as she grabbed her bag then pulled out a few books as well.

"I love to read! Have you read anything about the history of the adventuring hero?"

I nodded as she pulled another much older book out of the bag. She held it out to me, and I took the book and stopped when I saw the title.

"Eva the hero of thunder."

'Hm, I'll have to find out more about this.' I looked at Twilight, holding up the book. "Do you mind if I borrow this?" She smiled then nodded as she finished the bowl of soup. I at the book down, then took the empty bowl then walked over to the kitchen door. I pushed it open with my back and stepped in, humming a tune.

"Hey, Rookie."

I stopped seeing a woman with two swords on her side with long dark-blue hair with black armor on. I nodded to her as I walked over to the sink then set the bowls to the side before grabbing a sponge to clean the bowls and the bread plate. I felt her eyes on me, and I turned to see her looking at me a hand on her sword. "Miss, I really don't want to fight with you right now so please walk away." She smiled as she looked at me then nodded her head.

"Your smarter them, you seem, Rookie, but I'm the second in the guild, and I don't think you've proven how strong you are. I want you to take out a class A monster. I looked at her for a second then nodded my head then looked back at the sink. "We both know that's not your call but, I'm always up for a good fight." I looked at her out of the corner of my eyes, and she smiled as she looked back at me. "but, I think you and whoever's behind that open door should leave." She looked surprised then smiled as she took her hand off her sword then knocked on the wall. A large man walked in with a set of full metal gauntlets with spikes on the knuckles. With two large scars over his shoulder going down his chest. With long white hair with a red streak going down the right side.

"Your sharp rookie."

I turned back to the sink as they walked out of the kitchen as I finished washing the bread plate then quickly washed the bowls. I dried my hands then walked back out of the kitchen, seeing Twilight backed into the corner by the Guildmaster.

"Come on, Ditch, that loser, and be my woman."

I walked up behind him and cleared my throat, and he jumped then turned to look at me. I crossed my arms as he looked at me, a little sweat coming from him. "I'll give ten seconds or you can take a right hook like a man. To corner a woman who's scared and you out rank makes me think your nto a real man." He turned about to yell, but I clenched my right fist hard, and flames erupted from it. He looked scared for a second, then spit on the ground then walked off.

"Fucking bastard."

I watched him go Twilight hugged my side with damn near strangle like strength as the flames stopped. I huff as I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and rubbed her shoulder. "Next time come into the kitchen with me."

"Ok."

I nodded then patted her shoulder, then she let go of me. I grabbed my sword off the wall, and Twilight grabbed her staff. I took her hand, then walked out of the dining room then took her to the room. I opened the door seeing one king-sized bed with a large couch. I smiled as I pulled her into the room and pushed her towards the bed. "I'll take the couch you can take the bed." I turned to walk over to the couch, but she grabbed ahold of my cape.

"Vargas..."

I nodded my head as I turned back to look at her. "Twilight, I'll sleep in the room with you, I'll watch your back and help you. But, I will not share a bed with you if that is what your thinking." She held onto my cape for a second, then let go, and I spoke again. "Twilight you're scared, your without your friends in a place you don't know how to deal with strange people and new things. Take the night to calm down and well talk tomorrow morning."

"Ok."

I nodded, then walked over to the couch, then took my sword off my back and leaned it on the wall. Then looked over at the closet in the room. I walked over and opened it, seeing a cover and a few extra pillows. I grabbed them then fixed up the couch like a bed. I started taking off my armor as Twilight started to talk again.

"So, Varga, I have to ask you about this. Are you dating Trixie or Gilda, or do you have feelings for one of them?"

"No, I don't have feelings for either of them I've never felt something like that. I've never loved a woman I've never wanted to love anyone."

"Why?"

I took my chest plate off as I looked at her as she walked over to the bathroom in her nightclothes. She looked at me, and I noticed the toothbrush in her hand.

"I don't care for love Twilight. I don't care to fall in love that's why I never really do something like this. Share a room with a woman does bother me but I have no interest in even finding love I don't need anyone."

"I guess it's up to you to make that chose but I know a woman who would fight you greatly on the view of love."

"Maybe but as you said I have the right to my view." She nodded and then walked into the bathroom, and I laid down on the couch, got under my covers, and turned to look at the backrest of the couch. 'Hm, why am I even talking about this? And, the flames on my fist how did I do that?' I closed my eyes thinking about what may be coming then the next few days.

Trixie pov ten hours earlier

I stepped off the train in ponyville and looked at the letter again. As Gilda walked off. "Ok, we're looking for a small Sapphire statue in the shape of a flower. It's supposed to be a magical conduit meant to boost healing magic by ninety-five percent."

"Cool, but why did they split us up like that. I mean sure we're a lot stronger now but Vargas is a huge part of us new fighting tactics. Sure, your magic is great with my brute force. But, now were going to have to fight a lot harder than smarter like Vargas had us doing."

I nodded, knowing she was right as Vargas did come up with great plans for fighting monsters. If we run in some of the stronger monsters in this forest, then we'd be in real trouble.

"Well, let's get going from what I know this castle is about an hour from this town. I really don't want to be in that forest at night."

I nodded, and we started to walk through town, and I pulled my cape collar up, helping hide my face knowing not many people here wanted to see me again. We quickly walked through town but stopped in the market, getting some food before we quickly rushed out of town when a few people started looking at us. We walked through the countryside with a few little animals around us. I looked forward, then Gilda shoved me while laughing.

"You know, you seem a lot more down then I do. I think you miss having Vargas here with you."

I blushed then shoved her back as she walked beside me. "Ok, maybe a do miss him but it's not like I want him around all the time." Gilda laughed as she nodded her head.

"Whatever you say Trixie but that look doesn't help you any."
