"Come on give up.You'll never be as good as me. After all it is a man's game."Ton said causully as he easily parried Zi's blow.
"Man's game I see no man.Unless you are reffer to yourself which still you can hardly be called a man of only 16 years." she replied in a joyously mocking tone as she seathed her fathers elgotent sword. She was given the sword after her fathers death. They said it was his dying wish for his only child to have his sword. But she could hardly believe that after all she knew very little of her true parents. she kept her hand on the hilt of the maginfienct sword. The sword had given her freedom,it had given her a reason to get out of the house and away from the daily dredugeries of life. Sword play was her life and she loved it. Of couse she also loved her friends, they seemed to be the only people in the village that excepted her for her differances and she wouldnt have it any other way. She felt Ton come up behind her a reached for her sword.Time seemed to stand still as his fingers brushed agiasnt hers as her took the sword from her grasp.
"I wouldn't speak so freely.It might make people think you would openly disrespect your elders." He wispered this in her. She could feel his hot breath agianst her neck and it sent a shock of pleasure though her body. He step away from her to set the sword agaisnt the tree next to his. She laughed at his remark and looked around the small clearing they were in. They had found the clearing when she was no older than six years and he of nine years. Ever since they had used it as a secert hide away from the world they lived in. Here any thing could be possible they would let their minds wonder in their own imaginary world. As they aged they used the clearing for more practical reasons such as for the past 2 years they had used it as a training ground to practice sword play.No other person from the village had every found it so they thought of as their secert place.
"Speaking of people wheres Zic? Wasn't he supposed to be here by now?" she inquied. Zic was there other friend. His faimly had only recently come to Farnamn the two had befriended him almost instintly.
"Hey! Guys sorry I'm late. I had soem work i had to fin..." He didn't get to finish his sentance for her fell out of the tree he was preached in.Zi and Ton just laughed at him. "I'm okay. No need to be wored." Ton went over to help Zic out of the bush he had fallen into. The sight of him made Zi laugh even more. He had small twigs tangled in his raven colored hair that stood out from his pale skin. His hair fell into he face almost covering his cloudy sliver eyes. He was tall at only the age of 13 he was already taller then almost every man in the village. He also very hyper almost all the time.
"Zic come here and let me get all the twigs out of you hair." Zi comanded he did as he was told and sat down before her and she started to ruthlessly pull the tangled twig from his raven locks. he yelped in pain."well it's what you get for being late."
"Is this how you would treat your best friend?" Zi nodded in responce to Zic's question."No wonder your so differnt. Your of marriageable age yet no one wants a Tom-Boy." Zi stiffened at this as did Ton. Zi stoped her work on the twigs.So this is what they think "no one wants a tom-boy".the words rang in her head." All the other girls your age are being married off. You most likly will never be married. No one man could ever love a woman that acts more like a man then is good for her. You will mostlikly live your years out alone. No tomboy is worthy of love." Zic just laughed at the though. Zi was fight off tears she looked at Ton. Is this true? Am i truely not worthy of love? Is my very existance wrong? She stood up and slowly backed away from Zic. After a Few steps she turned and ran. Ton shot Zic a dirty look as if to say 'you've gone to far'. He then went after Zi
Zi ran to her small home. Tears still on the verge of falling, it was a battle sh ewould surely lose. Her home was no more then a small hovel with a common room with a small stove in the conor for cooking meals, there were also two rooms hers and her adopted brothers. She entered the house and ran to the back where her room was. She slamed the door shut behind her and fell on the bed. she creid into her pillow and soon she heard some one knock on the door.
"Go away." she said trying to keep her vocie from breaking. The person knocked agian"go away!" she screamed. when the door opened and she saw that it was Ton she threw a pillow at him. "go away! Go away ! i dont want to talk to you. GO AWAY!" she screamed. Ton only came up to her and embraced her.His strong arms holding her to him. she fought to get away she fought with all her might but he only thightened his grip on her.he wispered soothing words in her ear and stoked her hair. she soon relaxed into the hug. He then picked her up and sat her on the bed he sat down next to her. He put his hand on her cheek and rubed away a rogue tear with his tumb.after a secound he pulled her into his lap and raped his arms around her agian. she leaned against him hiding her face in his shirt.
"Not every one thinks that,Zi. I dont think that." He said softly in her ear as he played with her hair. While she was running home from the clearing some of her dark hair fell out of her tie. she just snuggled closer to him as he talked." I think your amzaing. Any man would be lucky to call you his wife." She smiled at his words. She pulled away from him and looked in his eyes.
"Honestly?" she asked him.
"So is your destiny to be loved. Just as it is everyones. All you have to do is find the one preson who will love you for who you are." he answered. Zi just nodded at this thought. They just sat together in silince with Zi on Ton's lap and his arms around her waist.
