After sleeping for a few more hours he woke up from his deep sleep, with a wet face. He was being licked by a huge creature. “Whooah,” Samwell yelped. The huge Dragon was startled and started to spew fire everywhere. The huge lizard might have smelled the freshly cooked venison that samwell ate. The beast was now starting to charge Sam and was going to kill the boy. Flying at full speed up, then spiraling down towards the boy, Sam was in trouble. At the last minute, he saw a flaming arrow go through the heart of the dragon. As the dying corpse fell from the sky, it landed right next to Sam.
It began to speak in some weird language... “Ha-Sha-Nea-lyna, Ezz-soa-belin.” A figure approached from above in the trees, then it jumped down. “Did you just speak to that Dragon,” a young girl asked. Sam said nothing, he sat there in shock. “Hey you, whats your problem. Who are you”?
“My name is Samwell, of Okyra,” he said. “Thanks for saving me... uhhh, sorry I don't know your name,” he said curiously. “My name is Liliana, of Tzaria.” This young maiden was quite the looker, I might add. She was slightly taller than Sam. Tzarians were known for their fiery red hair, and their natural warrior skills. She the ideal Tzarian, her long bright red hair caught Samwell’s eye. Sam never saw this kind of color in a persons’ hair before, Okyra doesn’t have nearly any red heads. Liliana’s sculpted body strongly suggests that she was a fierce warrior. Two golden swords strapped to her back made for some intense intimidation.
“Well, now that you have ruined my camp and eaten my kill, I’m moving on. Very good to meet you Samwell.” “Wait, can I come with you Lily?”
“Hey my name is Liliana, not Lily idiot,” she said angrily. “Where do you think I’m going, I’m not an Okyrian like yourself. We Tzarians have to stick together.”
“So where are your fellow friends then,” Samwell asked with a smile. “Shut up fool, I’m just doing a little hunting, thats all.” “Well, I need your help, I’m trying to find The Hooded Man, Lazarius.” “You fool, you don’t want to mess with that Sorcerer. He just left Tzaria after sucking us dry. That’s why I’m hunting, our people need food and supplies,” Liliana stated.
The two youngsters continued to mingle with one another, the boy wouldn’t stop persisting to accompany the young mistress, She finally gave in on one condition, “You will not SAY A WORD.”
The two of them set off back to Liliana’s home land, it was a long journey across the Great Valley. I had to stay back, so they wouldn’t spot me again. I could still hear the constant bickering between the two of them. Apparently Samwell, didn’t like the agreement she had wanted. “When we get back to my home village, you will not say a word. I mean it this time Sam, you speak without being spoken too and you’ll be ironed.” “I understand,” Sam said nodding. The two really didn’t get along very well. I completely understand too, that Tzarian really got under my bones as well.
I really had to stay back from the pair, if she finds out that I’m tailing them, she might attack me. I have been to her land before, there is much work in Tzaria. Those people are warriors, warriors die, then I have to clean it all up. The Great Incident 1100 had sparked a rivalry between Okyra and Tzaria. They were allies to each other in The Great War, but after a poor Tzarian man was found sleeping with the Okyrian Princess. The King had declared war against the Tzarians, but they never went into battle. The whole incident was just a lot of bickering and bluffing. The two Kings settled with a sit down. Ever since that little bluff war, the two never spoke or traded with each other.
“How much longer do we have to walk to your village Lily,” Sam asked? “Just be quiet, we’ll be there in a minute. Geez, you’ve been talking for the past few hours.”
“When we get there, can you train me? I want to learn to fight like a true warrior. I wanna be able to slay a dragon like you did back at your camp,” Samwell stated. “That wasn’t even a full grown dragon, wait till you see a grand or elder dragon. Why do you want to learn how to fight anyway.”
“I need to be ready to confront The Hooded Man, he killed most of my family, and is controlling my home land. I must go home and take back my home from Lazarius.” “I will do what I can, its really not up to me. If the Chief Elder will allow it then, maybe.” She said.
“Was the King really your father, Sam?” “Actually I’m not sure, my mom was never sure who my real father. She told me the King was. I think she said accused him so I could have a place to stay and food when I got hungry. We were still a poor family but we never starved.”
“I guess I can help you become a fighter like myself, if you want revenge for your family.” “I don’t think its revenge in my heart Liliana, I just want answers. Who am I really, am I really from Okyra.”
I’ve always wanted to know more about the kid, he has always been a mystery to me. If I was that guy I would go after The Hooded Man just as he would. The two of them continued on their laborious hike through the Great Plain. Dusk was coming upon them and they had to hurry to get to a safe place before the scavengers come out to hunt. A few hours had passed and the two finally reached the girls home village. Luckily for me, the indigenous know me very well. They always hate when they see me, but they never freak out. I remember taking their previous Chief Elder about 80 years ago, those people really hated me. I don’t think they realize that this is my job, and I have to do it. When Liliana introduced Sam to the townsfolk, he wasn’t so received so well....
