Heirot

"Thanks." she said quietly and took the apple. It was one of her favourite fruits and it had been a long time since she'd last eaten one.

She took a great bite and enjoyed the taste. It was much better than grass, even though grass could be good too. She relaxed a little and started to enjoy the company, after all it'd been a while since she last talked to anyone.

Mako smiled to herself, she could see the very edge of the town in the distance. It wasn't large but it did have an inn and a tavern in it. She was going to see a man about the rumors she heard and report that there was no such creature in the forest. 'Geez people can be such big cowards.' Mako sighed a little.

Mako took off her quiver and put it on her hip then counted her arrows, she had used only four since she went into the forest, but now she was missing five. 'must have dropped one I suppose.' Mako thought as she left the quiver there. 'I wonder he has heard any good rumors of monstera around, it would be so much fun to find one!'

Feiminn walked on in silence, while observing the surrounding nature carefully, but still keeping an eye on the boy. She snorted slightly, falling back into her unicorn habits, before remembering that she was in human form. A little annoyed, she shoo her mane of hair and gave a tree a deathglare.

Bored, she turned to look at the boy, but found him occupied with checking some kind of sticks. Weapons, I suppose. She couldn't help being a little curious, green eyes watching the arrows suspiciously.

Mako was busy day dreaming when something flew out of the trees. Mako stepped back one step but it as too late, her shirt was torn exposing her white undershirt.

"Huh?" Mako let out before she realized it was two arrows one from each side of the road. "Who's there?" Mako shouted. Two theives jumped from the trees.

"Oh great two ugly ogers." She said with a smile.

The thieves looked at eachother, shrugged then said, "Give us all your loot girls or else you'll die." They took aim.

"Sorry I don't feel like getting robbed today." She then said to Feiminn, "I hope you know how to fight."

The scene unveiled just slightly ahead, maybe fifty feet, no more.

"Well, that was convenient. This should prove to be an ample test of their ability. I do so hope they don't dissapoint." Locaille said, largely to himself. It was a few seconds before he managed somehow to say the word "Csghharahsjkig." and His two companions darted into the forest on either side of the road.

Slowly, Locaille simply seemed to float silently towards the people before him.

Feiminn stared coldly at the two thieves, her eyes thoughtful. Oh great... What do I do now? I can't transform in front of the boy...

Feiminn knew that she was fast enough to dodge the weapons they shot, but the problem was: how to protect the boy.

"Oh I can fight, don't worry." she said softly. "Do you want them raw or medium?" She was going with scaring tactics, hoping that the robbers would give an opening for an attack.

"Don't worry about me." Mako told her just as the first arrow was shot. Mako swiftly jumped over it and the dodged the second. Mako jumped into a tree, pulled out her bow and two arrows took aim.

The thieves took aim at Fieminn "Looks like your friend ran off, if you don't want to die then give us all your loot." They fired an arrow right in front of Feiminn, trying to scare her..

Feiminn only glared at the thieves and smirked softly.

"You honestly think you can beat me with a stick?" she asked, disbelief in her voice. She quickly jumped forward and hit one of the idiots straight in the face with her fist. He went down like a log.

Feiminn turned to the other, her green eyes glinting dangerously under the black fringe. You should never underestimate the strenght of a unicorn, especially one from her herd.

Mako fired her arrows, one broke the string of the bow, the other went onto his right shoulder. He screamed in pain as Mako jumped down from the tree.

"Oh looks like the other oger is knocked out." Mako said with a little laugh.

"You bitch." said the man with the broken bow. Mako hit him on top of the head knocking him out cold.

Mako began walking then fell on the ground. There was a cut on her torso. She took off her shirt then lifted her undershirt. The cut was quarter of an inch deep. Mako was fast but not fast enough at that close range.

Feiminn smiled back at Mako and walked over to her, 'accidentally' stepping on the face of one of the unconscious robbers.

When Mako fell to the ground she hastened forward and kneeled, her eyes on the deep cut. It didn't look good.

"He managed to hit you?" she asked, voice shaking a little. She knew she would be able to heal the wound, the thing was that she didn't want to reveal her powers. She bit her lip, unsure of what to do.

"Ya unfortunently I can't dodge when it was so close, I barely dodged the far shot which ripped my shirt but that was my own fault. Usually I can predict where an arrow is going then move away from it. Unfortunently my reaction time is a bit slower then my calcualting time." Mako laughed a little at herself.

"If you don't mind me asking, do you know any healing spells? You look like the type that would.." Mako said looking at the blood on her shirt. "If you didn't know already, I am a girl the same as you, if the question 'how would you know if I have a healing spell' or somehting close to that comes to mind, call it woman's intuition."

Feiminn stared at Mako, speechless, for a few seconds. She got an urge to run away at first, and her second thought was to find something to bang her head against. She was so stupid, she should have quessed that Mako was a girl, she had telepathic abilities for a reason...

She sighed and nodded quietly, then carefully placed her hands on the wound, almost fainting at the sight of the blood. She closed her eyes and concentrated hard and could feel the magic within her, and slowly she willed the magic to gently close the wound beneath her hands.

She opened her eyes again, and looked down at the wound. It looked all fine and healed. Then she saw the blood on her hands and started shaking a bit, resisting the urge to throw up at the newly healed wound. She stood up quickly and walked over to a patch of fresh grass, and used it to clean her hands from the metallic blood, while cursing her good sense of smell.

"Miss Fieminn, are you alright? Is it that you don't like the sight of blood?" Mako took out a rag from her pocket, walked over, and handed it to Feiminn. "You should use this to clean off your hands it works a lot better. If you'd like I also have gloves if you can't stop seeing blood."

Mako also pulled out gloves made of cotton that had been stiffened to seem like leather and they smell of chestnuts. "These gloves are my favorite, I buried them in chestnuts just to get the smell of them, I love that smell, it's the best."

Locaille grumbled slightly before speaking, he had now closed to just under ten feet from the two victorious children.

"Dreadful really, that didn’t amuse us at all. Such a shame that creatures as filthy and stupid as these two are allowed to exist, nay proliferate on this world." His hood swung from side to side as two bright red orbs glowed from within it, one oddly beneath the other. The arms of his cloak had crossed themselves behind his back as he stood there, grumbling before he finished his thoughts. "We blame Sinead."

Feiminn took the rag and cleaned off every last bit of blood from her hands. She glanced at the gloves, but didn't like the idea of wearing them. It was too restricting to have your hands covered.

"Just call me Feiminn, I hate the 'miss' part. And keep your gloves, I am fine without them. I don't like to wear gloves." She smiled at the girl and tried to make her voice steady and calm, hiding the fear deep inside her.

Suddenly she heard something and quickly turned around, only to freeze at the sight of Locaille. She stared at the hooded thing, that she assumed was a human, and barely took in a word of what he was saying.
