Studying the Broken Bridge.

Upon walking in his free time Alphos found himself stopping at the Broken Bridge. He had only hears stories of the battle that took place here for the battle was long before he was service. Looking at the ruines Alphos walked over and placed his hand on some of the ruines rocks.

"Such a sad thing...no one ever seems to show up here." Alphos often took trips alone to rid stress he got from guarind Som'der Lai. in his mind he hoped one day when this was all over people would all just unite and forget about the past "Once this is all over, I will help fix this bridge."

Kashi Slowly Walked her Long Dark Grey robe Brushed against the ground, in her hand was a small Traveling Bottle made from some kind of Glass hybrid. She Stopped Frequently looking up and then down and then to the side, as she walked she Softly Spoke to herself saying things of little meaning to others but
To herself it was a great lesson of life. Upon seeing Aphose she stopped And Her posture Changed as straightened her back and Watched with wide eyes “ that’s quite a Generous proposal, my friend.” she offered out not sure entirely why anyone would be here, in her travels there weren’t a lot of people so close To wilderness. When Kashi moved her hands up to draw back her hood her Vibrant enchanted gloves would be visible. A Strong sense of magic ability would be rather clear to most people.

Not confused or bother Alphos turned around upon hearing some one talk to him "Sometimes what people consider Generous, others feel like it is more of a duty." Alphos admitted openly not knowing this new person before him. But senceing magic Alphos did not surely know what else to say to this person or what they wanted also.

" how Very Noble" *she said nodding her head. she then Slide her hand Down into her bag placeign away the water and pulling out a small Letter "Would you be so kind as to escort me to The weapon Smith i was asked to bring him this letter. it is not of dire importance but its somethig nthat cant really wait either. "

Alphos had a small confused look on his face "You want to go across....the....water?" While this person prepared whatever she was doing in seemed like it was complete madness atleast what he thought "I am sure there are better ways to-" Looking at the water move away Alphos turned quiet for a moment "Umm...alright...i will join you then." He knew he hated magic but he had to keep his mounth shut for his own safety in this trip across the water. "But before we go, i should not forget my spears...there kind of important."

Alphos walking over to a small tree picked up the two wraped up spears, hooking then into his back on two loops he used to carry them so he could have his hands free placing the the larger wraped one first followed by a smaller once Alphos then let out a small smile "Alright then, Let's go."

Kashi nodded And waited slowly, she was a master with Patience and was able to wait for months and such Long periods of time without moving. She watched quietly thinking over in her heard the way this will go, she Slowly turned her hands down and followed them across her chest. Sliding her hands into each sleeve and placing them into A warmer area of her of body, she wasn’t really cold but placing her hands into each sleeve would make it harder for most people to fight, and Kashi Didn’t want to fight him, yet.

She had heard when traveling through Som’ber’lai of a Warrior who wielded spears. And she was yet to Find out if it was him or not. Kashi had heard from A large number of people she had trained with, that before you could learn to use A Spear. Javelin or Lance you must first be god hand to hand you will Never be A True Lancer. Luckily for Kashi she didn’t believe in using weapons. But when people used weapons on her she found it Was easily. Because weapons are most of the Time easily patternized and followed depending of the Maststeries and proficiency’s of the masters

Spoiler:

Kashi Tuned back out of her own Thoughts to see him smile at her and start walking She quickly turned her heard downwards and pushed her hood up so her Face couldn’t be seen, and her eyes met with the angles of the Ground, so she could see where his feet were. Until the moment of embarrassment passed, she then slowly pushed her hood back Taking an Extra 2 quick Steps and walking calmly beside him, “ Do you know of any great warriors from around here?” *she asked as if it meant nothing to her. When in actuality she was Quite Excited and that was the only Reason she was taking the note to the weapon smith was to find this Legendary lancer, whom she forgot the name of.

Upon there walk while it seemed quiet never bother him it found it odd such a nuteral place he no one watching but he then remember they are walking through the lake and not any near any of the main parts of the town. With Kashi walking next to him her question did not seem to talk long for him to respond to "Well Kurosu it's self i have no idea I myself have not heard them grathering forces since the Bridge's ruin under wanting them to be out of the wars between everyone else."

Letting out a small sigh "That is what I heard anyway, We do not get many messages from Kurosu, But i only hope to just see how the people of this village are since this will be my first time in this place." Openly admitted Alphos whlie the growle of his stomach went off Alphos had not eaten anything since leaving home.

Kashi walked along quietly thinking over his Response, there was a lot of Wisdom in his words, almost As if there was an underlining message. By this time Kashi Remembered that she hadn’t found ut his name, and debated back and forth With her inner voice, ~ should I ask him his name or by this point is it more rude or maybe he is waiting for me to introduce myself, but then again he could not want to know my name~ Kashi Slowly came to The conclusion that she didn’t need to Know his name nor did she really need to give her own. “ Do You think you’ll repair the bridge yourself? R any time soon? It is a large job for A single person.” *She offered a slight smile, if he decided to he wanted to know her name he would need to Earn it. Kashi’s trust wasn’t Hard to earn, but to keep it was a Challenge of its own and then again so was keeping in touch with her. She seemed to Gain lots of friends but never did she bothered to go An visit all of them but if she was near by she would talk to them for A while.

Alphos hearing the idea of repairing it on his own he laughed only for a spilt second "No, I only feel this can be done with peace I would be greathering people form each nation for this task." In truth Alphos' has been forgetting to stat his name the whole time because of talking about his ideals for the furture.

"Once there is peace who knows what the world can bring upon it's self, Maybe finally i can walk around Som-ber Lai with out everyone staring outside of the walls out of being paranoid." Hiding the fact he himself was equally as paranoid of the same thing out of habit and from working as such.

Kashi Walked Along Her Foot Steps not making much of a sound as she traveled.*she un tucked her hands from her robes and Stretched her arms out in front of her. “are you not welcome in som-ber-lai then?” *she Asked mostly out of curiosity that she might have complications later down the road. She slowly un did her gloves and slide them into the inner pocket of the robes suddenly all trace of magic Was gone.

Alphos raised an eye brow "Me unwelcomed in my own home would be such an odd thing for one of there most prided knights would be such an werid thing to have happend in general." Alphos making it sounds like it was mer blaspahy " I think the only reason that would happend is if i got mised up with something the order did." Alphos sounds like he did not wanna the order at all.

"And the chances of I Alphos getting into a mess with the order is very unlikely." Speaking in a highly prideful and glory bound tone he spoke his name like he was of high status dispited only just being a well known knight.

I’m sensing A Bit of hate towards the Order, But then a lot do theses days. And its nice to meet A Knight of Sum-ber-lai.” Kashi didn’t reveal her name but she made note of his, if he was A great knight from where he came from then her chances of finding the hero she wanted to challenge was all the greater. Kashi Moved her hands around Stretching them out wards and relaxing them then Stretching them ut again. About how far is it would you say?”

Thinking about Alphos looked away "The Order is nothing but heartless monsters..." stating his pure opinon of how he felt of The Order "I am one of the few who shows The Order the end of there lives with a point of a spear whenever i am told." Alphos seemed to have gotten carried away in his own little show in his mind.

"How far?...that is a pretty good question." looking around mostly seeing water he was not sure how close they were to the town he just seemed to stare around the both of them and said "Close....I..I think.." He was actually not sure.

Kashi Moved along her Legs tired from a long travel. But it was nothing she wasn’t use to she changed her pace so she could walk along side of Alphos “ I am not one for fighting but Id like to see what you can do with a spear. Its always good to know your friends and more importantly to make friends where they can help you, and vice versa.” *Kashi Smiled. She might have sounded a bit obnoxious but she was truly interested,
Kashi Placed her hand into her sleeves bracing both arms with one another

Alphos look at the person next to him with a thought of wonder for a second " You want to see how I fight? well I guess it would not be that bad for some one to take a little study of fighting...dispite them not being a huge fighter." Little a happy expression show on his face "But If you are going to watch, Once we are in a area were it is safe to use my weaponds in then I cna show you.plus you wanted to see a blacksmith here in town."

Kashi nodded she had put off the black smith for a long while she really should have been going there first but she was more interested in so much more and too much of a free spirit to be told what to do she smiled and nodded “ oh of course how silly of me, perhaps afterwards” Kashi walked with him until they reached the gates of town she stopped to admire the large walls and the colossus gate. It was a beautiful site for one who hadn’t seen it in person before. “ hmmm” she Said quietly.

Alphos looked up at the gate for a second "Isn't this pretty site...Different from what I use to seeing of a gate anyway." Small remark from him while he admire for a second "I have never been inside Kurosu, mostly hear of a quiet busy city that seens to pay little mind to the people who travel here."
Talking for the sake of contining Alphos just said "Well, Time to go in I guess." Alphos just seemed largely exsited to enter the city "Then Shortly after most likely outside of the city to avoid getting everyone edgey I cna show you a small demontration of spears."

Kashi walked into the city bowing slightly to anyone who made eye contact. She walked through town with a slow pace she never seemed to move fast anywhere. As the made their way around the corner she smiled the black smith was not far now she knew where she was going now. But last time she was here she entered through the north side closest the mountains. When the Blacksmith saw her he stopped what he was doing and then went into the back he then came out with a small box. Kashi smiled and slide the box away and shook his hand. “ Thank-you” she bowed and then turned away. She had asked him to do that a little over a year ago

Smliing along the site of the villagers Alphos looked and thought of untouched and unworried the people of this place were compared to the ones from Som'ber Lai were he lived the people were always more occupied by the thought of another fight on there front much to there army and Alphos' dismay.

Once walking to the shop Alphos just kept following like he was just esorting someone normally making it seem like it was normal for him to do so."So we are here? Fancy place." He might wonder what she was getting here but he would not bother asking because he was always taught to surpress his questions so it would not be as bad.

Kashi Looked to the other area’s Aphos had mentioned he would show her she wondered how so, would he go so far as to fight with her or would he just simple Show her the stances. Her mind wandered with the many people passing by, she wondered if there was a formal master of this villages martial styling’s. “Well then I guess we can move on to other activities” she mentioned looking up at the sky. Her eyes wandering all about. She just started walking toward the gates again her eyes full of curiosity.

Alphos thne let out a light hearted smile "Ahh, done already I see." Alphos for some reason stated the already appereant. turneing around to start walking outside of the city to demostrat abit of his fighting but he actually had no idea what she wanted to learn or to start with figureing he would save the questions for later anyway. Walking with this woman he let an inhale of the freash air while they kept on there way. "Is there any other Activities in town you need before we head out of the town?" He asked politely.

Kashi Slowly shook her head “ nope I have everything I need at this very point in time.” Sleeping with a roof over her head or her next meal never seemed to be a constant on her mind she was happy to take the opportunity’s that life threw at her. “So how good are you with the stick?” she asked as she walked outside of the gates. She only asked because she felt it was a good way to get her conversation started and the demonstration on its way. Kashi was feeling rather full of energy and wanted to spar with him, but only if he asked her.

Alphos thought about it for a second considering what to say "Really I would like to think I am one of the best." He openly addmited But he always followed a saying as well "But sometimes I have to remember also there can always be some one who can beat you." Said with a small smile.

Thinking about putting his pride aside while he did try to make himself not sound high he mighty like he normally did "But then learning how some people fight you learn to counter them." mostly speaking in his mind he thought about past fights he had "but for the most part I would like I am one of the greatest."

Taking enjoyment for the conversation while he started walking towards the city's main gate with Kashi this in his mind was a fun way to train abit and get some exersize aswell.

Kashi and Alphos were soon past the gates heading back down the path they came from before. When kasha quickly turns and moves through the forest and then into a small clearing near a very small creek. Kashi Quickly moved into stance, “ I am ready when You Are. Show me your best” *she smiles and turns her hands palms open her right hand facing him and then her left hand slides behind her folded back against he tail bone in an elegant stance. Her muscles were tense and at the ready she knew she was quick.

Looking back to the gate close Alphos just seemed to admire the green of the grass for the most part he was use to sand and a large iron magic protected gate to him seeing water and grass was different and new. Following still to the right side of Kashi after eaching the the clearing with Kashi taking a descent distance away.

After listening to Kashi Alphos then said "Well I guess it is one of them train hard or not at all situations." Alphos said taking his spears off his back and sliding his right foot back. Spinning the wraped up yellow tiped spear around his left hand and going a quick slash with the larger red one to ready it.

"Well, Since you say it is at my mark."Alphos said in a proud and upbeat tone of voice he took one step and took a slowish run to Kashi and took a quick jab with the yellow spear in he left hand aiming to skin a small section her upper right arm while a wide slash with his red spear to follow up the jab in his small attemp to see her reaction time.
