CHAPTER 10
NO! GOOD IRENE WHY!?

Your leg has finally healed all the way and Lucinda was doing her last test to make sure that you are ready to fight again. You chuckle thinking about when when you tried to train with Garroth but she soon found out and got you back to bed. "OK block! Lunge! Dodge! Slash! Jab! Stab! Finishing blow! Trip!" You executed each move perfectly with soldier like control. You hear clapping from another corner of the training arena. You know you can't get distracted so you don't look to see who it was. "OK now y/n, Garroth spar!" Garroth stood up and walked into the arena welding a wooden sword as so not to hurt you. The both of you get into similar stances when you smirk and daringly say "hey Gar, don't go easy on me just because I was injured." "I wasn't planing to." He answered. "No playing dirty, if someone gets hurt the match immediately stops, you lose once you fall down, don't do anything to risky or dangerous or complicated. Got it?" You and Garroth nod and start the match. Garroth starts by running right at you. You leap over him and attempt to strike his back but your only met with a wooden sword. "Clever, very clever." Garroth smiles brightly. "Not bad for you either blonde." "Hey!" He yelps as you slip past him again and you manage to graze his butt. "What was that for?" He loses stance to rub his sore behind. "I take any opening I can so don't be such a pain in the butt." You snicker. "Mother of Irene, really? Puns?" He regains stance and lunges attempting to slash at your side. You jump back and giggle. "Yes. I'm very punny aren't I." He growls at the pun and aims for your head. "I swear if you make one more pun I'll-" You duck to dodge his blow and say "Oh you are making this way too easy. Let me guess? I'll get some sort of punishment?" That's when he lost it. "FOR THE LOVE OF IRENE REALLY!? THIS IS TOO CHEESY!" "Heh. I mean what kind of cheese? There's marble, cheddar, blue, green, Swiss, feta..." As you continue to list cheeses you can tell your getting more and more on his nerves by the redning of his face and his fighting skills getting more and more sloppy. "CUT THE CHEESY ACT!" He bellowed. "I SHALL NEVER CUT THE CHEESE!" You announced as you knocked Garroth off of his feet receiving a howl of laughter from the corner you heard the clapping. "Fine you win. You win. I surrender." As he started to get up you planted your foot on his back and pushed him back down, standing over him in victory you cheered "THANKS TO MY PUNS I WON!" Jessica ran up to you smiling and crying slightly. "Heheheh... Omli.... Cant... Ha-ha...stop...heh... laughing. The puns were just so beautiful." You got your foot off of Garroth and said "Come on I want to finally walk around and explore!" You grab Jessica's hand and drag her out side. "What do you want to see first?" She asks when you finally stop. "Um... How's about we wander for a while and you just point out stuff." You glance around at the village."OK so this is Kawaii~chans place. She will ship you with whomever she wants so be careful. That is Emmalyn's place. She's the scholar around here. Her main focus is on Lady Irene right now. That's Cadenzas place. She's the tailor and she's really good at her job." You walk up and down the streets of Phoenix Drop listening to your friend and greeting the people you met. "And finally these are the gates of Phoenix Drop. Hm? There seems to be some sort of conflict happening. Let's go check it out." Jessica grabs your hand before you could even think and races towards the crowd of guards. "Let me through! I just want to-" The voice sounded so familiar. "I don't know who he is but he's kinda cute." Jessica winks at the voice. "I don't want to hear it baby brother. It's probably just another plan to destroy us." Garroth's voice was immediately recognizable. "Let me in or else I will destroy you!" You recognized the voice of the killer of your parents. Eyes wide with shock you sunk to the ground whimpering. "No. No. No. Please great Irene don't let it be him. Don't let it be-" "ZANE WE SAID GET OUT!" Aphmau demanded harshly. You started to cry for the very first time since the massacre at the mention of his name. "Zane. So that's his na- h-hey. What's wrong dude? Are you OK?" Jessica noticed that you were quietly sobbing which sent a wave of worry throughout the crowd. "Hey," Aph's voice chimed in your ears "are you alright?" "No." You reply quietly. "Pardon me." You stand up and look at Aphmau through crying eyes. "No. No I'm not fine." Spite growing in your chest towards The High Ass of O'khasis becomes nearly unbearable. Zane looks at you with surprise and... was that a flash of guilt. No. He killed because he could and he never felt any sort of remorse to anyone else so why would you be any different. You grit your teeth and start walking towards him. The crowd parts to let you through. "It's you." He acts like he's never met you before. "Hm? Sorry I haven't a clue about who you are." Anger starts to boil in your heart but you suppress it. "You know who I am. I know that. You know that. Do you know how I know?" You spoke softly struggling with the fight with your emotions and talk at the same time. "How?" Then he wore the same dam grin that he used when fighting you. That's what caused the suppressed rage to suddenly erupt. You grabbed Garroths sword and you stroke. The sound of metal meeting metal rang in your ears. "We've done this song and dance before Zane." You spat with every bit of rage you had bottled up. "You burned my village to ashes, you destroyed my friends , you killed my family, you- you murdered my sister." Tears fought towards your eyes and you heard gasps of shock from the crowd. "Listen I-" "I DONT WANT TO HEAR IT YOU ASS LORD!" You screamed at the top of your lungs and without another word, you ran dropping the sword behind you.
