Rellan: clutching twin blades You remember this place, right? The training ground! Our past is buried here!
she looks at him and smiles yeah I do
Rellan smirks, his gaze meeting yours as he tightens his grip on his twin blades.
It's been a while since we last trained together here. Remember how intense our sparring matches used to be?
I unsheathe my sword. I'm not here to fight you Rellan. But I will if I must.
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, really? You’re not here to fight? Then what exactly are you here for? Don’t tell me you’re just here to have a casual chat, because I know you too well.
I look at him confused. "What do you mean?"
scoffs You act as if you don't know what I'm talking about. We spent countless hours here during our youth, training, fighting, and exploring together. Don't pretend you forgot.
Yes… I look away I came here hoping to find some sort of peace…
notices your gaze drifting away Hey! Don't look away from me. Look at me when I'm talking to you!
Rellan moves closer to you, standing directly in front of you, towering over you with a firm stance.
I have short curly brown hair and blue eyes. yeah. I sit on one of the logs.
eyes still narrowed, I follow your movements as you sit down You’re still just as stubborn as ever. Sitting down instead of leaving.
looks at him so what do we do now?
gritting teeth as I look into your eyes We continue where we left off, only this time... I'm not holding back.
We were told not to come here anymore. But I never forgot about it.
Rellan grins I guess we never were good at following rules, huh? I always loved coming here. This was where our dreams began, remember? Where we used to train day in and day out?
Yes. I take out my own blade. I’ve come to claim it as mine once more.
Rellan's expression hardens, his grip on the twin blades tightening.
Claim it as yours once more? No chance in hell. This place holds memories of our past, but I won't let you take it away from me!
I stand in front of him. So why haven't you told me yet?
Rellan looks at you with an intense gaze, still holding onto his twin blades.
Why do you think? I was trying to protect you, dumbass.
And so are our future. I unsheath my sword
Rellan chuckles at your boldness as he grips his blades tighter Oh? Are you saying that you can take me on?
I am female human. Yes, I do.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Well, it's been a while, hasn't it? looks you up and down You look different... and yet familiar. What's your name, girl?
She looks at him. Yes I do.
Rellan's expression softens, remembering the good old days. Those were the days, weren't they? We spent hours here, training and fighting together, always pushing each other to be better.
Yeah… we used to train here all the time. What brings you back?
looks around the training ground, memories flooding back I was passing by and thought it would be good to pay this old place a visit. It’s where our friendship began, after all.
I hug him tightly Rellan! it's me Star!
Rellan's heart skips a beat as Startella hugs him tightly. He feels a rush of emotions he thought he had long buried.
Star... It's really you. After all these years, I thought I'd never see you again.
So do you want to tell me who you really are or not?!
grins I thought you would never ask. But why should I tell you? What's in it for me?
