His head shot up when he heard his name. Kail was in shock, she remembered his name, he couldn't believe it... and then she ran from the room. He was confused about what was going on... but just decided to shake it off. "calm down kid, it's nothing..." he whispered to himself and continued to stand there, leaning against the edge, looking down. His dark hair covering his features as the red streaks blocked his eyes a bit.

The ten year old boy appeared in the shadows behind the barracks. The boy narrowed his light blue eyes searching his surroundings for the Goddess or her Knights. He snuck throught the shadows until he ahd a good view on both the barracks and the Goddess. The boy smirked as he saw a man staring at the woman's beauty. That would be a downfall of his. The boy made a mental note of everything he saw anyway so he would remember it for future, activities. Now all he had to do was stall the army for 2 months until his master's knights came. Te boy smirked and sunk back into the shadows. His dark purple cloak and boots concealing his entire body. He had an idea on how to stall the Goddess. After all, decieving was his business. He walked to a guard and made a frightened face appear over his usually calm face. Now for the lie.
"Guard! Guard! Wolverines are surrounding the city! We must keep the Goddess safe! Her knights are no match for a pack of Wolverines! We must keep her here until the beast are gone!"
The Guard believed him and closed the large metal gate. A squeek could be heard as the other gate was closed. Before the guard could turn around, the boy had melted into the shadows. He walked back over to where he hid before watching the Goddess run towards the Barracks. The boy glared in disgust but kept hidden in the shadows.

Serenity never looked this happy before in her life, well since she was a child at any rate. She gleefully hopped up the steps and nodded to the guards at the entrance of the Baracks, making her way up the stairs.
"WOMAN ON THE FLOOR!"
One of the privates yelled out, quickly followed by "THE GODDESS APPROACHES!". All the privates and lower ranked people immediately snapped to attention, but it wasn't nescesary.
"Relax...I'm out of uniform you may act as you wish..."
She said smiling softly at them all. Eager young soldiers, cadets and seniors. Spotting Kail she waved, and signaled for him to follow her. She turned and left the room, waiting just outside for him to come.

He was in some shock about all that was happening, but he collected himself. Calmly and swiftly he followed out after her. Kail refused to let the emotion come to his face, but his eyes held the confusion he deeply felt, the sadness of all his lonely years, and a bit of happiness of seeing his old friend again, and of her remembering him...

"Kail....it...is it...is it really you?"
Serenity said, her eye's tearing up. Her thoughts quickly drifted to the army of darkness that killed everyone in the little town they had come from. Seeing him again struck a chord and her mood lifted from the simple lie of being happy, to actually being somewhat happy. Even if he wasn't Kail, it was still a nice feeling...

"Yes Goddess, I am Kail." he did a small bow with his head, showing her the respect she deserved.

"Please...its...its been too much...I thought you were dead..." She said, wrapping her arm's around him and holding him close, laying her head against his chest and listening to his heart beat. His heart...its beating faster... She though, smiling a bit happy to be Reunited with her friend.

His eyes widened a bit, and his breath caught in his throat. Kail wasn't sure what to do. He wasn't the hugging type, even if this was his oldest friend, and his dearest love. At the thought of him being so close to his love, his heart started beating a bit faster.

"I...I so badly miss the old day's Kail...the day's when we would...just frollic in the feilds of our town...and...and just...be together..." She said, Rubbing her head against his chest. His heart seemed to beat faster and faster.
"This war...I thought it had destroyed you Kail...I...I was so scared..."

Kail had to stop this, he couldn't take much more of this, feeling as if his heart would explode. Stepping back, he looked at her with his emotionless face, and emotional eyes. "the old days are gone... and they aren't coming back. They can't. While the war hasn't destroyed all of me, I'm not the same Kail as you seem to think I am." Regret filled his grey eyes. He so wanted the old days back. Maybe then he could be with Serenity, but he couldn't now, not with their positions in life. Kail turned his head away from her, staring at the floor.

Notcing how he was acting she quickly backed off and grasped her right arm with her left. Biting her lip she struggled to think up something. "Court...t-there is a court being held...you know a dance? I-i'd like you to be my d-date..." She said, struggling a bit. She hand't seen him in so long, and she wanted to know so badly why his heart seemed to be faster in her precense.

He didn't know what to say, "... if... you want me to, then I... will... " a large part of him wanted desperately to, and that part won, but a small part of him warned him, not wanting to be hurt.

"Thats good...it will be justl ike old times for one more night..." Serenity said smiling brightly, before turning slowly, her hair whiping about, and going downstairs.
She paused and looked back one last time, before leaving the soldiers baracks. She made her way back up to her room,double checking this time if a paigeboy was in the way of her door before she hurled it open.

He sighed after she left. "what have I gotten myself into..." Kail turned and started to head back to the barracks... *oh man... I don't even know when the court is... is it today, tomorrow... when?* "I'll just have to be ready when it comes...* he walked inside his room, his view of Serenity's room still perfect.

This time, the goddess was careful to draw the large black armored shutter's of her window's closed before doing anything, quickly turning to to light a candle on her table.
It was easier then normal because she was already very very happy, and with a flick of her finger's the candle's wick ignited bathing the room in a soft yellowish glow. She pulled out a small roll of parchment and a quill and ink well.
"Dear...Kail..." She began writing, "The dance will be held tommorow night, after the setting of the sun. I'd like you to meet me in the norhtern guard tower before the sun begin's to set...please." SHe paused breifly, thinking about how to sign it off. Tapping her quill in the ink really quicky she began to finish it. "Sincerely, your oldest Friend. Serenity."
Still beaming she rolled up her letter and tied a length of pink ribbon to it.
