Kail sat in his room, on his bed. Quietly and calmly, he sat there putting a new string on his bow as his mind and heart battled. The sensible thing would be to not go, but he said he would. Though with how much he wanted to go, to be with her, his heart ached knowing he couldn't have the type of relationship he wanted. But what if he was wrong about that?.. so many thoughts swirled through his mind...

Still beaming Serenity gave the scroll to a paige boy outside her door and told him to give it to an archer named Kail. As he left she shut and bolted her door once more, moving to open the armored shutters.

After a little bit, a boy came to him with a message. Kail paced the room as he read it, the message telling him about the Council. "tommorrow night, sunset, guard tower. Got it." He stopped where he was, his back to the window. Sighing, he turned and tossed the message on the bed. Kail started rubbing his temples, getting a small headache. So much was happening, and in such a short amount of time. "if our town had never been attacked none of this would be happening and I wouldn't have to go through this now... Maybe my life could be normal for once... and maybe..." he blushed then roughly shook his head. "don't even think like that you idiot. It's not your place." he went and stood in the window thing, dropping his head and looking at the ground below him. "life is so complicated..." he said as he stared below him, oblivious to anything going on around him.

Serenity stared at Kail through the window, a smile touching her lip's. She hadn't seen her friend this distressed since....well since school. When they were forced to dance together at the ball too, he seemed the same way.
"I wonder why..." She quietly asked herself, studying Kail's expression with wonder. His heart also beat faster when I embraced him... She continued pondering htis for quite some time, standing in the window and staring at him.

He sighed, and ran a hand through his hair, more of it falling into his vision. "things just can't be simple, can they? I can't live a normal life, and now I have to go to this court where I won't fit in probably... I doubt there are many archers there. The people there are probably all snobs. But it's not my place to judge, I'm just an archer. And I'm going with Seren..." he didn't finish saying her name, "... the goddess..." he finished his sentence, a slightly hurt tone in his voice. "and I have to keep reminding myself that things aren't the same anymore. And they can't be." he said firmly, "because if they are, I can't do my job. I can't forget what I'm here to do. I'm here to fight for her, to protect her, maybe die for her, and accomplish what this army is set out to accomplish. I can't be thinking about a friendship or anything like that, it makes things too complicated.." he said tightly, not wanting to believe most of what he was saying. Kail was gripping the ledge tightly, his knuckles turning white, and shaking a bit. Never once did he raise his head to look around him, not caring.

"Could it be...." Serenity said, gasping slightly and bringing her hand up to her lips. Does he love me? She asked herself, quickly getting out of the window and closing the shutters again.
"Thats the only reason he came! He came to protect me...No...I can't let him die for me..." She said, stripping her gown off and donning her armor again. It took a while because of how much she had, but she finnaly got the straps in the back of her bustier tied tightly. She pulled free a black travelling cloak and threw it over herself.
She opened her door slowly, using her alchemy to blind the two guards and walk out, slipping past every guard in the fortress she was sleeping in. When she got into the open air she moved to that alleyway, between her and kial's room, and ran through it, her white robes flowing underneath her cloak for an instance, revealing who she was to any watching.

Kail's thoughts were brought to a pause by a flash of white robes. "what was that...?" he watched it run by and then it hit him. "sh**!" he ran and grabbed his bow and and the quiver of arrows, and rushed from the barracks, quickly following the path the figure took through the alleyway. *what the hell is she thinking?!!?* he ran after Serenity, just hoping he could catch up with her before she did anything stupid.

Making it to the gate she wheezed slightly. "Man...running on horseback is so much easier..." She though, humming softly and conjuring a rope ladder over the side of the wall.
She began climbing it briskly, hoping that noone would see her, or try and cut the ladder down. It was a long climb, but she'd make it to the top sooner or later.

" oh man..." Kail ran up just as she was about to reach the top. "what now... if I cut the rope with an arrow she'll fall, and if I can't catch her she'll get hurt... guess I'll have to follow." He wanted to call out to her to stop her, but that would draw too much attention to them, and they definitely didn't need that. Once she reached the top, he started to climb the rope, desperately wishing he had his armor on.

Serenity didnt even look back, she looked around for something she could use her alchemy on, but only found a sheild and some spears in the nearby guard tower- the guard being asleep on watch.
Ignoring her urge to beat the man to a pulp for falling asleep and leaving the city defenseless in case of an attack she took the sheild and went outside, standing on the edge of the wall. Looking back she smiled, and let herself fall over.

Kail's breath caught in his throat. Quickly, he climbed up as fast as he could. Once he reached the top, he looked down for Serenity, praying she was ok.

Serenity was gliding through the air on a pair of large metal wing's, her cloak head taught on her body by a small lenght of rode around her waist. She quickly came down and landed softly on the edge of the Kurast city area, turning the wings back into a sheild quickly and tieing it to her back like a turtle shell.
"Goodbye Kruast....goodbye war...good bye...Kail...No longer will people die or will blood be shed in my name..."

"she's ok..." he let out a sigh of relief, then shook his head. "I still have to get her back though. It's too dangerous for her out there." he took the rope and quickly pulled it over to the other side, securing it and climbing down... more like sliding. Kail had severe rope burn. Once he reached the ground, he ran after her, keeping his hands closed, not caring the extent of the damage the rope did. *I need to find a way to stop her...*

~The ten year old boy stalked in the shadows of the nearby trees. The Goddess must not leave the city. She must stay there. He jumped out, flipping in the air. He landed with the blood red Wakizashi in his right hand. His purple cloak waved in the small breeze, revealing his black robes underneath. His black hair came down like a fifteen leged spider. Dark Purple boots surrounded his small feet which were twelve inches apart from each other. A evil smirk spread across the young boy's face. His light blue eyes shining in what little light was given. He kept the position in which he landed with. one knee was bent and the other was straight, much like a lunging stance but to the side. His right arm was extened fully to his side and his left was bent to a 90 degree angle in front of him.~
"Stay in the City Goddess, It is too dangerous for you out here"

Kail saw a boy talking to Serenity and he took out an arrow, ready to fire at the kid. He didn't trust anyone that talked to Serenity that he didn't know. And that kid was just plain creepy. He didn't like the fact that the little brat had a weapon as well. Kail's aim steadied on the boy as he ran, if the kid tried anything he was dead.
