Chapter 7- Voilence is the answer

Fran walked in the camp, picked up her knife and threw it at a tree in frustration

"What did the tree do to you?" A familiar voice asked, Fran turned around to see Aiden climbing down from his horse just arriving back from Sarichia.

"More than you'd think" Fran said making Aiden laugh

"I'm guessing the tree probably wants to do something that you don't agree with?" Aiden replied, Fran looked at him

"Let's take a walk" he said closing the gate that his horse was behind and leading Fran into the Everlands

"She wants to blow it up?" Aiden questioned after Fran explained their conversation after Jacob's threat

"She's never cared for anything even if it came down to her own kingdom, Sarichia isn't even my home and I'm the one standing up for it" Fran said

"She's just being irrational she'll come around I have faith" Aiden said

"But what about Jacob's threat? The festival is tomorrow and we don't have a plan for that yet?"

"Because she doesn't need a plan... she wouldn't put me over anyone else-"

"Hey!" Aiden said stopping in his tracks and taking Fran's hands in his

"I won't let her take you to him! I won't" Fran looked up at him and saw the genuine compassion in his eyes that he wasn't going to let her go, they both smiled just taking in the moment that was so overdue but Aiden pulled away as they started walking again

Suddenly they saw a slight opening in the forest, they headed towards it to see the forest coming to an end, they looked at each other and beamed, running up a hill and finally reaching the top, the forest was behind them and all they could see was the free ocean stretching out for miles covering the landscape, Aiden looked down at Fran who's mouth was slightly agape watching some birds swoop down from beside them and glide across the water into the horizon

"Wow" Fran finally said "I never knew this was here"

"Me neither" Aiden replied watching the little ripples from the waves

"This means... this could end" Fran says as Aiden looked at her "We could go! Leave all this behind us! Who knows where the horizon would take us!"

Aiden took Frans hand as they both looked out

"We'll be free"

(Imagine the tent from Harry Potter that's really big when they were looking for horcruxes)

Back at the camp, I had just arrived back to a familiar sound coming from the big tent and a voice of someone singing, I walked over and peered into the tent to see Enzo with his guitar with his eyes closed singing to a song that he had been playing when I first saw him. I stayed in the doorway of the tent watching him play until he finally finished

"Shouldn't you be training?" I laughed as Enzo looked at me startled that I was listening

"Very funny" he said putting his guitar down beside him

"No don't let me stop you! That was beautiful" I said making him smile "Did you write it yourself?"

"Yeah during training, but this is the first time I've practised it all the way through without being harassed by the general" he said making us both laugh

"What made you stay as a warrior and not go on to become a musician?" I asked

"Well no one wants to pay for enjoyment nowadays- only getting payment for themselves... that's why Sarichia's known for wealth and gold because the people crave riches and jewels instead of being happy" I sighed to myself inconspicuously and took a seat next to Enzo
