'Overkill I know but I got bored a while back' they laughed following me to the storage room

'Ta-da' I explained showing them the large room that looked like a lush cave

'You see this chest, you put something into it and it sorts it into the chests around here' I smiled seeing how the others noticed how proud I am of it

' Okay okay my favourite thing in the world you have to see this' I went running up the stairs seeing Salem on the table

'Hey girl' I said stroking her going past as the others caught up

'Come along' I smiled heading out the door

'See this is my stables it has a feeder thing for them and okay so would you like to know about my horses..?' They all nodded along amused by my rambling

' Yeah then this one is Ajex..' I shocked myself as to how long I spoke for

'Sorry anyways look so basically Ally girl c'mere' she came out of her pen kneeling down for me to get on

' This is my newest invention'

I clicked the saddle back the armour consuming her covering all but her tail eyes and legs

'It needs some work but it's alright if I do say so myself'

'Tommy mate this is so awesome' mumbo said as we headed to the village

'Thanks' i beamed at them

'Can I ask a serious question kiddo?'

I nodded looking towards Grian

' How old are you now?'

'Oh uh let's see I've got to be about 16 now isn't it?'

' Your 16 and have done all of this alone and not gone crazy?' Scar asked  dumbfounded by my achievements

'Jeez 16?!' Mumbo added

'Well yeah but it's fine I keep myself company I don't need to like be a burden to anyone when I'm alone'

'Kiddo it isn't healthy for a sixteen year old- scratch that anyone, to be alone like this, you should get to be a kid not be worrying about adult stuff you shouldn't have to look after yourself you know' Grian said slightly worried

'Grian I was in a war at 9 and again at 12 I'm fine this is the best my life's been'

There was a pause and I presumed I had said something wrong like usual

'What did you say?' Scar asked turning to look at me

'W-what's wrong with what I said?'

'You were in a war at 9 that crazy how?'

'I fought with my brother and family but it's fine, I'm sorry for bringing that up you don't need to know about my troubles' I grimaced realising how annoying I must've been being

They all looked slightly worried as I said that which I didn't understand

'Kiddo how long away is this village?' Grian asked breaking the silence trying to steer the conversation due to my sudden mood change

' just down here'

'Can I have a chat with you when we get there?'

'Yeah sure' I mumbled heading down the path

The three men shared a glance and all nodded as to what mumbo had whispered earlier

'Here it is, the village did a lot for me so I repayed the favour by 
Re-designing it a bit, not my best but could be worse you know'
