It's been about three weeks since Izana Yelled at me. Zen is still staying at Izana's Castle, I have been avoiding Izana lately cause I'm still a little bit shaken up.
" Zen I need to speak with you."
" What is it, Lord Brother."
" It's Megan, She has been distant from me."
"And you need me why?"
" Because you know about girls and what they think."
" I see so you need my help."
" Fine Yes Zen I need your help. Are you happy? I have admitted it?"
" Well yes I am happy, but truth be told I'm kinda glad you did. So you want to know why she is avoiding you right?"
" Yes, it is."
" Alright well, I believe that some of the trouble is what happend last week."
" Some of the trouble? what is the rest?"
" I don't know for sure. maybe you should take her out for a walk, talk to her! after all, you haven't been spending a lot of time with her. maybe she feels like you have been Avoiding her."
" Fine, then I'll talk to her. thank you Zen."
" Good luck Brother."
{ With that I walk away from my younger brother. I own Zen one now after he helped me.}
"Oh and Brother! you own me now."
" Yes, Zen I suppose I do."
I'm walking down the path to now where impartial. When I hear a voice I know all to well call out to me.
" Megan!!"
" Lord Izana what can I do for you?"
" Lord! since when did Lord come into this! You have never called me that before."
why did I call him Lord? could it because I'm still nerves around him?
"I-I'm sorry my lord was there something that you needed?"
" Megan, I was wondering if you would go for a walk with me?"
" Your highness I thank you for your offer but I'm rather busy today," I say with a small smile on my face. why am I acting like this? what is wrong with me?
" Good day your highness."
" wait where are you going?"
" Like I said I have things to do! Please excuse me."
" Wait! Meg, PLEASE I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU! please, I just want us to be friends again! please, at least walk with me. You may leave whenever you want."
" Very well then."
Izana puts his arm out for me to take. I gently put my hand on his arm and we start to walk. we walk in silence for a while, tell he speaks up.
" I'm sorry."
" For what?"
" Everything that has happend to us. First I yell at you. then I betrayed your trust. and now I don't even know what has happend to us."
" Izana, please don't, I did truly forgive you. It's just I have been a little stressed lately. I didn't mean to be distant. Please forgive me."
" Why are you apologizing! It wasn't your fault!"
" Well, I guess cause that is who I am."
" I know Megan, you are a remarkable woman."
" thank you Izana."
" Megan, I know that I said I'm sorry already but I want you to know that I really am sorry for everything that I did."
" I know Izana, I did forgive you it's just that I guess it was a bit of shock to see that side of you."
" Well, I have a feeling that there is a lot about me you have yet to see."
" Lord Brother!"
"Zen, is something wrong?"
" We just received a message saying we are needed in Bethangard."
" What is wrong there Zen?"
" Seems that they have been overrun with bandits. they have requested both of us to come as fast as we can."
" Very well. we will leave before sunset."
" As you wish."
{With that Zen rushes off to get the horses and pack. I look at Megan as she stands there in slight shock.}
" Are you alright?"
"Huh, Oh ya I'm fine. I just can't believe you're leaving again."
" I shouldn't be gone more than a week." { I smile at her and gently reach out to take her hand.}
"Well then, have a good trip. I'll see you when you return."
" I'll see you soon Megan."
With that Izana walks away. I look at his back as he slowly disappears into the castle.
{ As The weeks go on I send letters to Megan, just to tell her what is happening. we have been delayed by three weeks already. as I read the short letter from Megan she still acts like she wishes not to talk to me. I sigh as I grab a pen and start writing in reply.}
Dear Megan,
I hope you are well this day. Zen and I do not know when we will return. The Trouble here is worse than we thought. we could end up staying for a least another month. Zen is getting homesick as I must admit so am I. I hope that no trouble has been caused at the castle. I would like it very much if you would take over a little bit of the paperwork while I'm here. but if you wish not to then that is fine. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely Izana.
{ I seal the letter and am about to give it to the messenger when I hear shouts. what on earth could that be? I walk outside the tent and feel something hit me on the head. that's the last this I remember.}
