He heard a series of sharp
knocks on the door. At the time he was sitting at his desk, wanting
to ignore the world around him. He hated it. Back and forth, this and
that, “Oh Felix, bet you can't do that!” “Oh Felix, you'll die
within your first minuet of a battle if you fight like that!” “you
call that muscle? I bet my grandmother could do better than you- and
she's dead!” “Please. Just this once,” he thought. It was
probably Gloratio coming to bother him again. He stayed dead silent,
hoping for whoever to just leave. Just leave him be. He heard the
sharp knocks again, only harder. No, he thought to himself, it
sounded like a smaller hand, more delicate, gentle, not Gloratio'
meaty fist, pounding against his door like it usually would, day
after day. He listened to it carefully, the knocking became more
rapid and desprate, and he thought he heard sobbing- the sobbing of a
maiden, one he had known for a long time. He leaped out of his chair,
so panically and sudden that he knocked it over so it tumbled to the
ground bashing against his ankle, and he hopped to the door holding
it. He frantically attemted to undo the lock and eventually got to
open that heavy, cursed door that had separated him from his problems
many times before. When he opened the door his face grew hot and his
heart skipped a beat, he saw a face, a beautiful face-
It was Mira. When he saw
her, it had reminded him of when in his childhood he had found a
young dove, caught in one of the hunter's traps, bleeding and
struggling. When he opened the door, he saw her, tears streaming down
her face, some cuts on her arms and her face, wrapped in a small,
thin white cloth, stained with blood from the cuts on her chest and
legs. Immediately she sprung into his arms, sobbing, which made his
head grow rather light and his face burn, and his vision get all
blotchy and blurred...
and WHY did I put that on there? I don't know... I'll probably regret it in the morning... at least I did have half a mind to cut it there.. well, well, no one will read it anyways... just so I have some sort of accomplishment that I did at least SOMETHING today... yeah, 2 of them I just quickly decided their names today... somewhere around hour 30... not the main ones of coarse, the- oh yes, Felix didn't even get to the part mentioning Validus, or what ever his name was, did he? ah well... he'll probably end up burned... or hung... or fatally wounded... or have some other unfortunate "Accident" befall him... Felix is a peaceful man (or boy, or man, I'm really not sure at this age of him, or even the exact year) so he probably wouldn't do it... but Conlee... yes, I think he would wish to protect his first daughter... AH WELL... WHATEVER....
