mindcrackloveAfter nearly 9 months I have finally finished the 4th chapter of this thing I ran into some serious writers block but hopefully I'll get the following chapters out more quickly (might be another 9 months but oh well) anyways here's the thing links to previous chapters are under the second cut
They docked at midnight in a hidden smuggler’s cove several miles up the coast of Decorus Castelli. Even before they were close to the dock Aurey had whistled for Trix, and hopped on her back. Hearing the noise Etho walking over with a strange expression on his face, “Aurey, I’m curious, where do you plan on going once we get into Decorus Castelli? I don’t mean to pry you just seem really impatient, and a bit nervous about getting there.”
She jumped and spinned around to face, a bit dazed from being shaken from deep thought so suddenly. “Oh… Um yeah… It’s uh personal.”
He eyed her suspiciously, obviously not convinced by her sloppy redirection. “Aurey if we’re gonna work together you’ll either have to be a better liar, or not hide things from me. Because,” At this point he leaned in his glare seemingly magnified by his mask. “If you even think of hurting this cause, these people, I will know.”
Suddenly she out laughing, confusing Etho. “Well Etho, I’ll have you know it actually is personal despite what you think, but if you must know just say the word and I will tell you.” He gestured for her to continue, and suddenly Aurey lost her earlier amusement, seeming to stare through him into space beyond. She sighed and smiled with a mixture of pride and worry. “As you seem to have already guessed Decorus Castelli holds more for me than just a few daggers, and a crossbow.” She hesitated again unsure of how to continue. “I don’t think there’s anyway to ease into this so I’m just gonna come out with it. I have a daughter her name is Boo she is 15 years old… And even though I love her and I know she can take care of herself I still worry, teenagers aren’t know for the best decision making. It doesn’t help that her…” She hesitated and then seemed to spit out the next word like it left a bad taste in her mouth. “Friend is the Warlord’s son and three years older than her. He’s always gentle around her but I’m not an idiot I’ve heard the rumors.” She snarled and slide off Trix, walking over to lean against the railing.
Etho paused for a moment unsure what to do then followed, resting his hand on the railing beside her. “I’m sorry to hear that, is there anything I can do to help?”
Aurey turned to him a fire of anger and protectiveness raging behind her bright green eyes. “No, there isn’t. I probably shouldn’t be getting involved myself but….”
He smiled at her reassuringly. “But you’re her mother it’s your job to get involved.”
She laughed loudly and turned to him. “I know it is but I don’t think I have that right anymore. I mean I’m hardly there for her when she needs me. I’m always off hunting trying to get enough food so we can last the winter and a little extra for us to sell. And for course with her being the most perfect and understanding daughter on the planet she is forgives me for not being around and is even grateful for what I’m doing. She takes care of all the chores while I’m gone and she even knows that I don’t like her boyfriend so she makes a point of only meeting with him when I or someone else is there.”
Etho eyed her skeptically. “Are you sure about this? Teenagers aren’t exactly known for being honest with their parents.”
She sighed and looked down at her feet. “I know for sure just trust me on this.”
He was about to respond when suddenly Vechs came charging at them with a massive grin, screaming at the top of his lungs. “WE’RE HERE!!!!!!!”
Aurey turned and stuck her foot out ever so slightly, Vechs tripped over her foot; and he tumbled over the edge of the ship with an impressive stream of curses abruptly cut off by a loud splash. Hearing his fall she and Etho, while laughing loudly, began to search for a rope for him to climb up.
