I searched momentarily for him, he wasn't in the little clearing we had come to. I sighed when he came into view, coming from the woods line carrying firewood. He dropped a few pieces into the fire and I picked myself up off the ground. I sat up carefully, minding my injuries, and watched him...



He stared at the flames, which reflected in his icy blue eyes in a strange way, his black hair seemed darker in the firelight, and he held himself with pride. He glanced over at me and caught me appraising, a smile touched his lips. I blushed and looked away...



Trying to change the silent topic, I began to ask him questions.



"... So, you live alone then?" I asked, still confused. He nodded, "I prefer it...My original home I had built a great distance from the main city, but a few newcomers followed my example, a little too closely and built their homes within sight of my own. Several others did the same as that area became somewhat of a small town. So I emptied my home and moved it. I built a new one further out on a mountain, it's a three day horse ride from the main city."



I chuckled, "Well, good thing you have magic. I couldn't imagine what I would do if it took that long, plus you'd have to carry your supplies as well. It'd probably take more than one horse for just one person," He nodded, laughing with me.



I looked at the ground then... For months I had been traveling alone, searching for a new place for a suitable home by the sea... I prayed to myself I would find such a place here...



He watched me with an intense expression... "Sybbyl?" He asked warily, I looked up and raised my eyebrows, "Yes?"



"If you don't mind me asking... What were you having flash backs about earlier, when you went unconscious," I sighed. "I was... Remembering the turning point of my life. The day I went from fearless sea-captain to homeless landlubber." I chuckled dryly, though I'm sure it sounded like a joke to him...it was a tale of tragedy to me. He did not laugh.



"Why don't you go back?" He asked, scooting a little closer to me. I watched him, and twiddled my fingers together. "I broke a pirate code... My ship went down that day, none of my crew survived the attack, I was the only one. I should have gone down with the ship, I should have died with honor like my crew. But I was a coward, I clung to a rum barrel that was barely floating, and hid behind it when the enemies ship drifted past, certain everyone was dead. I washed ashore a few days later, and a local fisherman nursed me back to health. He didn't even know I was a pirate..." I stopped, choked with grief. That fisherman had been my friend, my ally. He saved me, and one day when he found me in my room, getting dressed, I was pulling on my shirt and he saw the infamous piracy emblem on the right side of my lower back. He kicked me out of his home that day, cursing me and calling me a filthy liar. I became a nomad that day and wandered the coast.



Dark watched the emotions unfold in my expression as I remembered it all too well, but I composed myself when I felt his scrutiny on my face, and turned to him. "should we sleep?" I said, looking up at the moon, it must have been midnight. He looked up as well, "You sleep, I'll stay up and keep watch." He grinned at me, and I nodded, too exhausted to argue. I lay back carefully, and as soon as I was relaxed, I fell asleep to the sound of humming.
