Andia: The Revolution

[Eltee]

"I'll kick your teeth out, you vile monkey." Aarys hissed.

[Duh]

Mary stood to her feet and violently tossed Aarys into the snow. "Go to your man." she said. "Cry. Scream. Enjoy his 'protection' while you can."

She walked away, disappearing into the camp.

[Eltee]

Aarys sighed, fixed her hair, and returned to Valentin.

[King Acunasti]

"Sweetheart, come here!" Valentin said to Aarys. "Check this out!"

[Eltee]

"What's up?" Aarys asked, sitting beside him.

[King Acunasti]

"Look what I can do."

Using a stick, Valentin wrote the words, "MY NAME IS VALENTIN." in the snow. He looked at Aarys with a childish grin. "I can write a sentence!"

[Eltee]

"Try holding it like... That... There, try that!"

[King Acunasti]

"Wait, like, with my thumb here?" Valentin asked, trying to properly arrange his hand.

[Eltee]

"No, wait..." She put her hand on his lightly. "Like that..."

[King Acunasti]

Valentin perfectly wrote "MY NAME IS VALENTIN" in the snow. He began laughing.

[Eltee]

"Okay, great!" Aars laughed. "Do you know the whole alphabet?"

[King Acunasti]

"No." Valentin replied sadly.

[Eltee]

"Well..." Aarys said. An idea suddenly occured to her. "Do you know how to spell my name?"

[King Acunasti]

"Umm..." Valentin thought for a moment.

Finaly, he lowered his hand down to the snow and wrote "ARIIS"

[Eltee]

"A. Another A. R, Y, S."

[King Acunasti]

Valentin correctly wrote "AARYS".

"Why does it have two A's?" he asked.

[Kerr]

Gladro sat down on a nearby tree stump. Something just behind the tree stump caught his eye. "No, [&@%!] way." whispered Gladro as he reached down to pick up the object. It was a book titled, A Pocket Guide to the Arcane Arts. Even better it had all the pages still intact. Somebody must have dropped it. Gladro opened the book and began to read it. Tears came to his eyes as he remembered his orginal copy was a gift from his father when he was 15 years old along with his lighter.

Spoiler:

I have finally decided to use my Chekhovs gun.

[Eltee]

"I... I'm not sure." Aarys said. "It would be way easier to spell it 'Eris.' But... Well, it is the way it is! I suppose it's a Wood Elven name."

[King Acunasti]

Valentin grinned. "I like it." He tossed the sick into the fire. "What did Lyra have to say?"

[JVElEven]

Hremai looked anxiously right and left, suspiciously eyeing everyone. She was still mumbling out loud, standing in the middle of the plaza.

"But what if they do suspect? They're all waiting for me to slip up..."

Spoiler:

Why yes, it's another angsty paranoid girl, why do you ask?

[Eltee]

"She... Was worried about you and Mary." Aarys sighed. "Mary seduced her husband."

[Duh]

Hremai felt a warm hand touch her cheek. "Do not worry, my little girl." she whispered. "I am here to protect you from such things. Nobody will ever suspect you of anything. Do you love me, Hremai?"

[JVElEven]

Spoiler:

That's a very good question...

"I don't know. I don't know. You're a very new acquaintance..."

[Duh]

"In time, I pray that you shall grow to love me as much as I love you." the voice said. "I am proud to be your guardian. You're beautiful, young, intelligent..."

[JVElEven]

"Then WHY is it noone sees that?"
