Dorion hugged his father, for the first time he felt like a man. But in his heart he cursed his heritage. Kiran brushed the long strands of brown hair from Dorion's face.
"You should probably get to your room and open your other gifts. I notice that you already have two."
Dorion had not realized he had brought the two heirlooms in with him. He laughed and tried to hide his embarassement.
"I thought it would be ok to open two, before the parties end...is that alright?" he questioned.
"Of course, " he laughed, "I see no harm in it."
They both smiled at each other.

Kiran escorted Dorion to his room. The night hall was cold and brisk by the time they ventured in. The air was very still, one would think the world was empty.
"Father," said Dorion, " I read some of the book that I opened."
Kiran nodded, "Yes the book of History. My favorite pass time in my early years."
"Well," he interupted, "I read something about a steward. I don't recall anything about a steward."
Kiran became quiet and his hands shook. Dorion turned to him and his eyes met the fearful gaze of his father. Never before had Dorion seen his father so afraid about something so strange.
"Ada?"
Kiran seemed to awake from a dream and looked sadly at his son.
"There is no time for that now, "he opened the bedroom door, "There is no time."
Dorion stepped into his room and his father wished him goodnight. Dorion peered out of the doorway while his afther made a hasty retreat toward his own bedroom, his face covered with one hand.
Dorion became concerned...not knowing what to do.

He stepped out of his room and ventured into the hall. The silence was even more scary to him and he ran toward the closest room in the hall. His brothers...
He knocked on the door.
"Ronin," he whispered, "Are you up?"
No answer.
He looked around and noticed a tall tree on the outer edge of the gardens next to some elf tree houses. Up in it he saw Ronin's bird friend, its red feathers flashing in the moon light. Dorion made his way to the tree and climbed, having some trouble on the way up.
Finally getting himself up on the flat, he found his brother sleeping. The hawk screeched, causing Dorion to jump.
"Shhh..." he said to it, "I'm Ronin's brother."
He hoped that saying this to the hawk wouldn't make him more angry.

(...hehe)

Gerard nodded and they went their seperate ways. But a very short while later, he remembered that his siter wanted to join them on the hunt. She had always been weird, but she was stubborn too. With a sigh, he followed his friend, who was quite a distance away. Gerard saw him go up into a tree, and Gerard cocked his head, 'What was he doing up there?' Gerard climbed quietly to a low branch and saw his friend sitiing down on a flat. Gerard gasped softly when Ronin called his bird "Kiarton." Gerard had heard much of him, Kiarton was his uncle, though they had never met. He wondered at how the bird got that name.

Gerard was about to speak when he saw Dorion come up onto the flat, the bird screeched and Gerard bit his lip, the sound was very loud. What were they all doing?

(Oooh... the drama!)

A screech broke through the pleasant dream Ronin was having, startling him back into reality. It took him but a moment to realize what had made the noise, Kiarton was beating his wings wildly, a sign that something had disturbed him.

His first thought was that someone, for whatever reason, was going to harm him. His mind still hazy with sleep, he quickly grabbed his knife which lay nearby and drew it from it's sheath, spinning to face his...brother?

"Dorion?!" he shouted. "What are you doing here? You nearly scared me to death!"

He lowered his knife from it's threatening position and put it back into it's sheath. Coaxing the ruffled hawk from it's perch and onto his arm he calmed it with a touch of his hand.

Dorion was slightly embarassed. His childish fear had driven him up here and now he was faced with the truth.
He looked about, at Ronin and Gerard.
"Ummm..." he said softly, " There's something weird going on around here Ronin."
He straightened his back to act less fearful.
"I was concerned when I came to your room and you did not answer. I didn't know this place existed"
He eyed Ronin's bird.
'What are you doing up here Gerard?"

(ooc- I thought Gerard was on a branch below the flat? Oh well.)

"Is everyone here to interrupt my sleep?" Ronin asked, in a joking manner, when he saw that Gerard was there as well. His lowered his arm and the hawk hopped off of it down to the ground again.

"Listen, Dorion," he said, lightly placing his hand on his brother's shoulder. "I'm sure you're just overreacting. There's nothing odd happening. Go to sleep, you've had a long day."

(Well he would have had to come up to see Kiarton, either way he's been spotted! )

"Sorry." Gerard said, a bit abashed. "I was just going to tell you that Anita wants to join us on the hunt, she's a little...odd. But she's good with a recurve." He eyed the halk and came up onto the flat.
"Why is that bird called Kiarton?"
There was a short silence and Gerard added. "That was my uncle's name, I never met him, ada said he ran away to help..." He gaped. "The note said he would aid Hirraneth in a quest. That's your mother! Have you met Kiarton? Is he here? In Hunvel?"
Gerard felt a wild surge of hope, little did he know, the famed uncle of his was dead.

"Ronin, it's not my imgination, "he pulled away from Ronin's hand, "Father was acting strange."
He opened the history book to the front cover and showed them the writing from Authon the Steward.
"I mentioned it and he went cold. It don't think I've ever seen him like that. Why do you think he would react in such a way?"
Before his question could be answered, the question of Gerard was more important, because Dorion knew the answer.
" My mother has mentioned him to us before...but Gerard," Dorion held his breathe, "He's dead. He fought honorable in the battle. They even have a memorial for him on the edge of the Hunvel forest."
"hey, I can show you were it is tomorrow when you go hunting," he stopped and asked, "Can i go too. It's been a while since I've gone?" Dorion suddenly felt lonely after all this confusion.

(puff, that was kinda confusing to write )

Gerard looked at his feet. "Father always thought it such. I kept telling him Kiarton's alive. I've been keeping him living on false hope." He looked up with unseen tears in his eyes. "I've always been such an optimist. I never even thought about the real middle earth." He pulled himself upright and sat down heavily. "Well, if you want to come, I'm sure Anita wouldn't mind." He chortled then his face was sober. "I think I would like to see this memorial." Suddenly he remembered why Dorion had come up here in the first place. "We can talk about your father and this steward tommorow when we hunt. I am however, dead tired. I'll see you guys tommorow." With that he stood up, did a mock bow and climbed down.

As he entered his room, he felt a chill go up his spine. Someone was...watching? Impossible! He just shrugged it off and climbed into bed, falling fast asleep.

Ronin watched Gerard leave, his mind racing with all that had jut been said. It wasn't adding up to anything in his sleep deprived mind. All he wanted to do was lay down and leave these troubling topics for morning.

"Dorion, Father just gets that way sometimes," he said. "He just goes...cold. Don't let it bother you. He's always had a lot on his mind."
He suppressed a yawn to keep talking. "Things will be clearer in the morning light. We'll talk about this tomorrow."

He turned his back to his brother and straitened out his blanket before lying down again.

[Nothing new, but I'm putting this further down in the thread so it makes more sense, m'kay?]

Laurëa walked up the cobblestone pathway her home sleepily, some few steps behind her parents. They were chuckling and talking about something they had heard at Dorion's coronation party. However, their merriment ceased as they approached the door.

Laurëa stepped forward to see her father reading some piece of paper that had been nailed to their front door. His eyes were troubled, increasingly so as he read on. Ahéawan was reading over his shoulder, and in her face Laurëa saw fear and dread.

"What is it?" asked Laurëa. When neither of her parents showed any sign of aknowledgement, she asked again impatiently, "Father, what is it?"

Leeum shook his head slowly, fear in his eyes, as he folded the letter in half. "Authon," he whispered. "Authon has returned."

Somewhat abashed, Dorion left without a word. Climbing down the limbs onto the ground. He caught his balance and made his way to his room. Instead of walking, he ran fast. He arived at his room and opened the door, throwing himself in and locking it. He breathed heavily. Looking around he noticed his stuff still unpacked.
"I'll do it in the morning"he said sleeply. So with that he lay down to sleep.

(Alrighty, 1 2 skip a few 99 100! Hehe, it's morning now! Cockadoodledoo!!!)

Anita dressed in a brown hose, with a short green tunic over top, tied with a sturdy leather belt. She attached her small sword and placed her recurve bow over one shoulder and doned her quiver of black fletched arrows. She made two neat braids and rapped them around near the back.
Anita peered in the mirrior, and was quite pleased with her appearance. She couldn't wait to use her new bow.
She raced down the steps of their house and made her way to the edge of the forest.

Gerard saw Anita run up, her complection was like new milk, asside from her rosy cheeks. She smiled brightly and looked behind him. "Have the princes come yet?" Gerard shook his head absently. "It appears they're both late." He chortled. "Even royalty isn't always punctual."

It took a long time for Ronin to fall asleep with so many thoughts spinning in his mind. Though he had tried to take his own advice, he could not stop thinking about the fear in his brother's voice.

It seemed only seconds after falling asleep that he awoke again to the light of a new day. He judged by the sun's rays glinting through the tree branches that he was late to meet Gerard for the hunt.

Moving quickly, he clothed himself in his usual hunting outfit- a brown shirt over which he wore a dark green jerkin that fell to just above his knees, a pair of green hose (a little loose- they had once belonged to Dorion) and his soft brown leather boots. Around his waist he wrapped his sword belt from which hung his long fighting knife (on his left hip) and his hunting knife (on his back). Both knives were housed in wooden sheaths that were covered in leather and bore the eagle emblem of Hunvel. It was fairly warm so he decided against wearing his cloak.

Last of all, he strapped his drawstring quiver, full of arrows with goose-feather fletching, onto it's familiar position on his back. With his yew bow in hand and Kiarton impatiently beating his wings nearby, Ronin climbed down the tree. Kiarton met him at the bottom, landing lightly on his shoulder.

Rushing off, he found Gerard and Anita waiting at the edge of the forest. He blushed, having forgotten that the gorgeous girl was coming along.

"Good morning," he said, smiling brightly. "Are you ready to go?"

"Indeed, but was your brother not comming?" Suddenly she had an irritating thought and her nose wrinkled slightly. "I hope he isn't forced to bring along that wretched girl. Can you believe she called me a coquette?" She asked Ronin earnestly.

Gerard cleared his throat. "So...where's this memorial?"

Dorion woke up early. The sun was not up yet but he felt it could very well be noon. He put on some hunting clothing- tan shockings, a dark blue tunic with silver lining, and his favorite black hunting boots. He pulled out his hunting knife given to him by his father on their first hunt together and his elven bow. He pulled out some arrows. One was damaged slightly but he put it in anyway.
From there, he opened up every one of the heirlooms. He placed them all in his secret box in his closet and tucked it away. By the time he was done it was later and he realized that he was late for the hunting party. He ran out the door and to the forest edge were he figured they would meet.
Seeing his brother and his friends Dorion walked slowly to catch his breathe. He decsided to play it cool.

"Hey, " he said at length, "Are we ready to go?"
He ignored the fact that he was late.
He noticed Anita dressed for the event. She was rather done up just to go kill something.
"Like your outfit," he said to her, "It...is fancy."
He wasn't sure if fancy was the right word for it but he brushed it off.

"You said you would take Gerard to the memorial first," Ronin reminded his brother. "I would have taken him myself, but I can't seem to remember where it is."

He sent the hawk off ahead into the forest, figuring it was best to let it do it's own hunting for now.

Anita laughed. "Fancy? I suppose you could put it that way, it's just brown hose and a green tunic." She readgusted her bow and quiver and looked around. "What's this about a memorial?"

Gerard hated to have to explain it, but his sister's look made him speak. "It's a statue of...Kiarton, our uncle, that we never met."
Anita looked down. "Oh." She looked back up with a solemn face.
"At least he died with honor."

Gerard shifted his weught uncomfortably. "So...does anyone remember where it is?" Then a thought came to him. "Ronin, you said it was at the edge of the forest, why don't we go around the wood and once we've found it, start hunting?"

"No need to look for it. If I remember correctly it's," he pointed north, "it's this way."
He lead them into a darker part of the forest where the trees were overgrown and the vines were taking over. He stepped lightly and then stopped.
"There it is," he said in awe.
The statue was not covered in the vines that already consumed the forect floor, one could see they were generously picked away and pruned formt he statue.
The statue had Kiraton with his little weapon in hand and his eyes looking up to the sky, it read Honor was bestode on thee, fought for right and the future to be. Kiraton, our loving friend...May the eagles soar with your soul.

Dorion dare not touch the statue because it almost looked like it was alive.

Anita sank to her knees in wonder. Gerard had his hand raised, he gently touched the carved lance. It was made of solid gold. The real lance was certainly somewhere safe, but it looked so real!
Anita, after remaning silent spoke softly.
"I always knew he looked like this." She touched his hand and turned away. "Shall we carry on?"

Ronin's eyes took in the details of the statue from the tip of the lance to the inscription. He always marveled at the elven craftsmenship which could make even stone look alive and breathing. When Anita suggested they should carry on, Ronin nodded in agreement and broke his eyes away from the statue to look at her and the others.

"I think we should split up, but stay within a short distance of each other. That way we can surround an animal easier when we come upon it. Anita, you can come with me if you'd like," he smiled at the ingenuity of his plan.

Gerard hid a smile descretely. Anita's face lit up. "Sure, Gerard you can get to know Dorion a little better. I have a bird whistle, I'll blow it when Ronin and I have a clear shot, Gerard has a second. Father made them."
Gerard looked at the others. "Sounds good. Try to stay in this quarter of the wood, don't make too much sound."
She nodded and knocked an arrow to her bow. "Shall we then?" She asked Ronin with a grin. She barely gave him time to reply, for she was already trotting off into the woods, silent as a doe.

Gerard nudged his friend. "Nice move." He winked and pulled out his hunting knife, pointed it in a random direction and said with bravato. "Onward then!"

Dorion watched Anita and Gerard look apon the stautue with such admiration. He felt happy to have granted such a wish.
"I think we should split up, but stay within a short distance of each other. That way we can surround an animal easier when we come upon it. Anita, you can come with me if you'd like," he smiled at the ingenuity of his plan.
Dorion laughed, "My brother likes that girl, doesn't he?"He thought to himself. Well, we'll see about that...
Dorion discided to let them go out on the first porsion of the hunt together, but next time he would play the love card.

"Alright Gerard, lets go."
He drew his hunting knife and bow and walked meekly into the forest.
It was a moist day in the deepths of the woods. The sun was not able to reach past the large trees, creating a sublte drakness all about them. Dorion could not see his brother or Anita, they had gone west of them.
He stopped and heard a noise, comeing from ahead.
"Is it an animal?" he questioned Gerard.

Ronin followed Anita who had surged ahead before he had a chance to ready himself. He nearly laughed with excitement. Moments later they were immersed in the forest and Gerard and Dorion were out of sight. Well that worked out wonderfully, he thought. As long as we don't meet up later and mistake each other for targets.

With his bow ready and an arrow held to the string, he followed Anita, barely noticing the land around him as he watched her. He smiled as the thought passed through his mind that he had never before met a girl who was so beautiful that she could distract him from hunting.

Anita unconciously began to walk on the balls of her feet, carefully avoiding twigs and leaves that littered the forest floor. Her red hair gleamed in the sun as she stopped in a thin ray of light.

She had halted to sudenly, that Ronin, who was obviously in some world of his own, ran right into her.
Because her stance was firm, Ronin was the one that fell over, landing with a crackle of leaves. She hid a small smile and helped him up. She opened her lips to speak, but she put her hand up as she heard something.
"Did you hear that?"

[Okay. Time for some more bratty Laurëa. You ready? ]

Laurëa put down her quill and admired the drawing on her lap. She had been sitting on the rather dirty tree stump drawing for the past hour, and now the product of her labors was finished.

It was quiet, sunny mornings like these when her parents were busy that Laurëa would enter the woods, find a place to sit, and draw until the sun was high in the sky. This particular morning, she had walked into a small grove of trees and began to draw, easily but carefully, the graceful aspens that surrounded her. Now she sat with her finished sketch on her lap, the sounds of the forest humming in the trees.

Some years ago, her parents had tried to encourage Laurëa with a hobby of some sort. Singing, dancing, playing the nandellë of Hunvel, none of these received much attention from Laurëa. What did, however, was drawing. She was quite skilled at it too, but hid her talents from most. "It's a peasant's hobby," she remarked once after denying her ability. Laurëa would sit through her lessons every week grudgingly, trying only to please her parents for their efforts, but hated being instructed on how to draw. Skilled artisans needed no instruction from "minstral peasants," thus named by her. Laurëa preferred doing things her own way.

Such as this quiet morning. Getting up from her tree stump seat, Laurëa dusted off her crimson robes and frowned at the insects that scattered beneath her feet. As she scooped up her things, she suddenly heard a strange bird-like call. Following the call, a twig snapped in the dark trees behind her. Taking a step forward, Laurëa squinted into the darkness.

"Hello?" she called softly. "Is someone there?" A soft whisper followed her inquiry. She could almost make out a figure in the dark...

"Show yourself!" she snapped. She did not want to be snuck up on. When she received no reply, Laurëa took another few steps into the dark trees, extending her hand to keep from bumping into something.

Suddenly, her hand touched something like fabric. Jerking her hand back, Laurëa saw movement right in front of her face. The next thing she knew, she was staring into the blade of a knife that belonged to a dirty, red-headed boy whose face was all too familiar.

(hehe)

Gerard had unsheathed his blade, and stalked closer. A sound came from the clearing, and he crept farther into the trees, Dorion close behind, slowly circling in the other direction.

But when he heard the same arrogant voice and saw the surprised face of Laurea, he groaned and dropped his hand to his side. "Not you!" He blurted out.
"Anita, Ronin! Come out, it's not a deer, it's a wild boar." He grinned at the discusted look on Laurea's face and glanced back at Dorion.

Anita stepped out, bow and arrow still raised. When she saw Laurea however, she did not put it down. She simply stepped closer. "What would a queen be doing out in the peasants' woods Laurea?"

Dorion walked slowly behind Gerard and they made their way tot he noise, Dorion made a bird call, soft and low to warn the others. Gerard pulled out his balde and made for the attack. But instead of a fleeing deer, they came face to face with death itself...Laurie.

Dorion stood back and watched the 'children' at play. They all seemed quite descussed with Laurie, although she seemed simply, misunderstood.

Seeing how no one said any apologies, Dorion said, "My lady," bowing to her, " We mistaken you for prey. We are truely sorry."
He flashed a direct smile at Ronin and looked thoughtfully at Anita.
"Women should be treated with respect," he nodded at Anita and casued her to look away.

Dorion knew that his apologies wouldn't heal things over with them, but he felt bold and kind(in a manner of speaking) today. Why not?

Laurëa stared at the many faces that soon appeared before her, staring back with disgust.

"What would a queen be doing out in the peasants' woods Laurëa?" sneered the red-headed girl.


"It's none of your business what I'm doing out here, girl!" Laurëa retorted hotly as she tried to hide her paper and quills behind her back.

"My lady," said the Prince with a flourish of a bow, "we have mistaken you for prey. We are truly sorry. Women should be treated with respect," he added to his companions.


Laurëa looked at the Prince curiously, pursing her lips. After deciding he was not mocking her, the corners of her mouth turned up in a faint smile. "It is good to see that at least one of your company has manners," sneered Laurëa to the red-heads and the other young Prince. "And quite a bit less dirt on his face as well." Admiring the disgusted look that she caused on their dirty faces, Laurëa took a step toward the elder Prince.

"Forgive me, dear Prince," she said in a sickly sweet tone. "I did not mean to interrupt your little 'hunting party'. Now, if you will excuse me, I shall be on my way, leaving you to resume rolling in the mud with the pigs." She bowed curtly and strode off, smirking as she did so.

Ronin watched the scene with disgust. Why would his brother be so kind to that snotty girl? It was as she was walking away that he noticed she was carrying something and trying her best to hide it too.

He moved quickly to step in front of her before she could leave. Plucking the papers from her hand before she relized what he was up to, he held them up for the others to see.

"What have we here? I never thought you to be the artist type," he smiled and flipped through the few papers idly.

Anita blushed and looked down, ashamed. But looked back up angrily, surprisingly at Dorion. "Women should be treated with respect?" She asked in a dangerously soft voice.

She looked, amused at the papers. "Wow, Laurea, quite some talent there. And you said it was for the peasants." She was, infact deeply offended by Dorion's previous comment, but she kept it descreetly hidden. Her face showed intrigue.
"Isn't it a little dangerous out here? With Authon having returned and all...no matter, scince we are but children, you wouldn't have to worry about that. But...then again, the daughter of two high ranking friends of the king and queen might want to take extra precaution. I heard he holds a grudge against the house of Hunvel." She said honestly. "I've heard he's quite dangerous. Take care Laurea." With that, she curtsied with fluid grace and turned to exit the clearing.

She found a pond a ways off and through a rock into the water. "And I thought I could trust him." She muttered. "What does he see in her?"

Laurëa whirled around as she felt her papers leave her hands. "Give me those!" she screeched. She tried in vain to retrieve her drawings as the rascal Prince flipped through them.

"What have we here? I never thought you to be the artist type."


"What I do is none of your business. Return me my things!" she seethed.

"Wow, Laurea, quite some talent there. And you said it was for the peasants," sneered the little red-head coquette. "Isn't it a little dangerous out here? With Authon having returned and all...no matter, scince we are but children, you wouldn't have to worry about that. But...then again, the daughter of two high ranking friends of the king and queen might want to take extra precaution. I heard he holds a grudge against the house of Hunvel. I've heard he's quite dangerous. Take care Laurëa."


Laurëa watched the girl stomp off with a sneer. Who does she think she is? Suddenly she stopped her efforts of trying to get her papers back from the younger Prince as she took in the girl's words.

"Wait, what did she say? Something about Authon?" she asked of the three youth around her. Ever since she saw the look on her parents' faces when they read that letter posted on their door, Laurëa had tried to pry something out of them. However, her efforts were in vain. Nothing she did could make her parents talk more about this Authon. But the Princes might know...."Well?"

Ronin watched as Anita left. He was tempted to chase after her and apologize for his brother, but he knew that he shouldn't have to excuse something he didn't say.

He made her mad and he ruined my plans! Ronin thought, staring hatefully at his brother, the papers still in his hands though now forgotten. It's all his fault!

He listened to Laurëa with mild interest, wondering what she was so afraid about and who this Authon was. She seemed to expect an answer from them.

"I haven't heard a thing about this until now," he answered. "But that's to be expected. After all, why inform the younger prince when he will have no part in it. Dorion, what have you heard?"

The words were stinging and his building hate of his brother's luck and charm had reached a high point.

Anita was walking under the sun dapled trees, head bowed and hands hanging loosely. She had put her bow away and her small sword hung safely in it's sheath. "What a lovely day." She said with chagrin.
She reached the statue of Kiarton and glanced at it, surprised by its beauty even in her mood. She ran her hand over the words one last time and made her way back to the palace.
Once inside, she sauntered thoughtfully down a long hallway. In truth, she knew very little of Authon. Who was he? She decided to find the palace library and do some research on the mysterious elf.
She pushed open the heavy doors that were imbossed in gold. She stared up at the rows of books that stretched up in neat shelves. Anita saw the painting on the ceiling and smiled at the elven design. It depicted the sky, filled with white gulls, hovering over the ivory clouds that seemed so real. She pulled her gaze away to the task at hand.
She decided to find a book herself, and after reading many, she found the one she'd looked for. It was a slightly out of date history of Hunvel. But luckilly, it mentioned Authon. He had been the steward of Hunvel. She flipped a page and found an interesting passage, near the back of the book. He had practically been pushed aside when lady Hirraneth was restored to the throne, with lord Kiran at her side. It explained the complaints and contradicting ideas of the elves. And Anita thought to herself, why would the elves want two humans on the throne? Well, that explained a bit. She had a feeling that Authon had been one of the elves that opposed to a mortal queen and king. And not to mention the fact that he would sort of lose his title.
That's when it got interesting. Authon had been banished when an uprising was stopped. In his absence, the title of Steward was passed on to Leeum, in the event that the line of Hunvel was ended, to the dissaproval of a small handfull of elves. Leeum's past was not altogether flattering.
So, Authon had returned? But wasn't he banished? Anita shook her head. She closed the book and placed it back on the shelf. She understood now. No wonder everyone was afraid! There is no way for sombody to lose a title and be banished and not hold a grudge. She had sort of made that part up in the clearing just as a suttle threat, but she had been right. And Authon would also have a grudge against Leeum and his family.
This changed things.
Anita exited the library and returned to her home that was conected to the palace. She opened the door to find her father sitting at the table eating noon day meal.
He looked up, surprised. "Why back so early Anita?" The redhead sat down and bit into a ripe apple. "We encountered some one that we didn't expect to see." She said simply.

(Yeesh that was loooong. I hope I said stuff according to plan. )

Dorion frowned as his brother ripped the papers away from Laurie.
"Wait a minuet," he said, but it was to late. they had already revealed her deep secret. Dorion saw no fun in doing this, but he thought it was odd of her to hide it in the first place.

When Anita left Dorion left like she was mad at him. The reason for her anger was known to him and caused him to wonder. Not liking to be left in the dark he was about to go after her when he felt a strong tug on his shoulder. He turned with an evil eye to see Ronin full of rage.
"What is this about?" he questioned his young brother.

"Oh, you want to know what this is all about?" Ronin sneered. "You mean to say you didn't intentionally drive Anita away just to make my life more miserable?!"

He paused for a moment, letting the words sink in as he studied the expression on his brother's face- calm, though he could see that his outburst had had some affect on his cool.

"Just admit it, Dorion. You live to ruin my existence. The worst part is that you try to be my friend. As if I'm too stupid to see you as the cause of all my problems! And now you've ruined the morning that I planned to spend with Anita, but that's alright and do you know why? Because it's plain to me that she likes you more anyway," he spat the last words out as though they had left a foul taste in his mouth. Shoving past his brother without waiting for a response, he walked away.
