Anastasia stomped her way out of the throne room, angery covered her face. Her father had just failedagain at tryig to convince her to chose a husband. She didn't want to be forced to marry anyone, she wanted to fall in love and not just marry someone. Her father didn't seem to get it just like everyhig else. He made this place seem like a paradise where really it was Hell. She knew this place was Hell better then anyone else. She had lived in here for years and now she was just a puppet to her parents. They never saw her as a real person. The thought of leakin info to the rebels came into her mind and a evil smile spread across her face. Of course she helped the rebels though none knew it was her. She simply just leaked them info and they liked that. She was there eyes and ears in here sometimes and they didn't know it was the princess. As she thought about this more and more she knew she wanted to do this. She wanted to give as mich info to he rebels as possible. Bit as she headed to her room she knew she wouldn't be able to. A guard lay at her door and that Kent a tutor was inside. "not today." she said and before the guard could catch her and stuff her inside for a lesson she ran. She could hear him growl bur she didn't cars, she just let her feet take her away from there. After a few minutes she came to the guarden and sighed. This was the oneplace in he palace thar she actually liked and could find peace at.

Kaman watched the guards move from their post as he rolled his eyes. It really was to easy to get into the palace. Sad really how easy it was. The king and his higher ups where so argent they failed to understand the importance of a military. He leaped over the wall landing in a crouched position as he stood slowly. He wore his normal clothing why should he hide or blend in really as far as anyone here was concerned he was a servant or kitchen help. He scanned the area slowly taking his mental notes of everything. It was his worst habit he had to admit. No matter where he went he knew where the best way to escape always was and how many things he could use to get there if anything happened. He looked up at the wall knowing that the other rebels would be rather crossed with him for advancing like this without their knowledge. He turned back around as he moved with grace and care leaping over another set of walls as guards passed. He landed in the soft grass finding himself in a beautiful garden.

There where no lies that where told of the beauty of the place. It was very beautiful indeed but just as deadly. He looked around seeing many beautiful plants in bloom. He stood there as his long red hair whipped in the wind that had began to blow. He gently pulled up his mask that covered his mouth as he studied the building. To many he was a mystery. His hands and arms stayed bandaged his mask never from his side along with his swords. He wore more ninja attire than anything. Though the clothing and style worked with him when he did his jobs and not hinder him as most other clothing styles would.

Anastasia sighed as she sat down on the fountain that was right in the middle of the guarden and just relaxed. She needed to think about what information she could leak to the rebels now. Slowly a smiel spread across her face as she realized she ahd never told them about hte underground tunnels. They where the one thing that her father wanted to always keep a secret. In there there where many weapons and many tunnels that lead to just about every place in the kingdom. She had used them a few times to get the info out to them but never told them how she got the info or anything like that. But if she did then she might get hurt herself, she had to think carefully about this. Maybe she could tell them about the secret weapons her father was making, the ones that could destroy entire kingdoms in seconds.

"yeah that sounds perfect, hopefully they will know how to stop it." she said as she got up and then felt like she wasn't alone. Quickly she dove into the shadows of one of the hedges and stayed still. She may be a princess but she wasn't like one of those air head princesses who just sat around and did nothing. Infact she had trained herself on how to fight.. with some help of one of her guards and also to recognize when she wasn't alone. It came in handy when it came to things like this. Slowly she crept along the shadows and looked around, trying to see who was in here with her.

Kaman shifted his eyes as he saw and heard the swift movement. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he walked off heading straight. He leaped in the air as he himself vanished in the thin air. He stood on the edge of the wall as he peered down at the bushes. He arched a brow as he quickly vanished from the wall. To most his moved like the monsters and magic beings that where spoke of in stories. He had been trained from many from different lands learning many different technicians over the years and mastering them. He stared down at the girl that hide behind the bushes.


He crossed his arms over his chest as he peered down at her. "As quick as the hawk and as Meek as the rabbit. One who hides at movement of one they do not know. At first glance you look like a servant but that is not who you are is it princess." He said as he stared down at her then quickly vanished and appeared before her. He smirked as he stood there. "The guard is coming you have twelve paces to get out of here."

Anastasia jumped sligthly when she heard the voice of a man she wasn't familiar with. She wasn't to sure if she could trust anyone who knew she was the princess and she didn't know. But when he appeared infront of her she growled and was about to hit him when she heard him. Cursing slightly and was about to move but before she did she grabbed whoever the guy was and started to drag him with her. She moved almost as quick as he did, sneaking around the bend of the bushes and weaving threw them. She was long gone by the time the guard got to where they had been but curiosity was bubblign inside of her, who was this man? why was he in here?

When she got to the shadows of the castel wall she shoved him against the wall. She then glared at him slightly, "who are you and what do you want? I may be a princess but I do know how to kill." she said and it was true. She knew how to kill someone quickly but so far she had never had to use it. But she wasn't afraid of doing it right now if he was here to kill her or something.

Kaman just stared at the princesses as she went. He did not fight her he was rather surprised and enjoyed her stealth and fire that seemed to grow the longer she was with him. He had always had that effect on people bringing out their fighting side it was something he had liked and he couldn't help but laugh as he watched her sneak around like some criminal in her own palace. He stared at her blankly as she slammed him against the wall. "Really now you kill that is a joke. Learn some manners and then we'll talk. You really do have the silver spoon stuck in that mouth of yours princess. Demands and ideal threats will get you no where with me. Besides I hear daddy calling you." He said as he quickly grabbed her wrist and twisted them turning them quickly causing pain that sent the girl to her knees. He then let her go as he vanished back the way they had came leaving her there.

Kaman followed the pattern of the guards knowing them now rather well as he scaled the main place wall entering it threw one of the arched windows. He used the shadows for his protection moving among them something he was rather good at and used to. He made his way to the deepest part of the palace where he found a small group of hand maids for the princess gathered. He let out a low howl as he watched the others grin then laugh as the answered. He slowly appeared before them as each one ran to him and hugged him. A smiled came across his lips as he caught sight of his dear little niece. He bent down and open his arms as the four year old rushed to him and hugged him crying from missing him and the rest of her family. He held her tight as he kissed her forehead soothing her.

He looked to the others as they spoke telling him everything they knew of the palace. He was moved with the love and loyalty the maids had for the princess. So it was true the rumors that the princess was a captive in her own home. He loved how the maids where willing to defend the woman with their lives if they had to. What really moved him was the kindness she had showed each of them. It made him happy to know she treated his dear niece with such care and seemed to love her. He picked the girl up and carried her as he followed the maids to the princesses quarters as they cleaned they told him more on what they knew. He held his beloved niece as she drifted to sleep in his arms.

The princess growled when she heard him, she was tough and always would be. It was hte result of having to be around her father all the time. But when he took her wrist and bent it she yelped as she got to her kees but anger filled her eyes. Whoever this was she wasn't liking one bit. But when he disappeared she cursed and then heard her father calling for her. Slowly she got to her feet and rubbed her Wrist. Whoever that was was still in the castle and she was going to find whoever that was. She didn't want anyone in this castle without her knowing, she didn't want him hurting any of her friends or the guards. They where her friends and she cared for them more then her own family. She then heard her father calling for her again and knew she had to go see him.

As she walked inside she found her father standing and glaring at her. She wondered what was going on now that would get him pissy like this. "dear, I have just found out that some of the royal tresures are gone. Do you have any idea who might do this?" he asked and chuckled slightly. Those tresures had been gone for a while now, she had taken them from the royal treasure room a while ago. She had used it to buy some food for the maids since she knew her father didn't feed them enough. He ususally only gave them the scraps off the table and she hated it. It was one of hte reasons she didn't eat most of her meals, it gave them more food and they needed it. "no I have no idea, maybe someone stole it." she said and then just left her father. she hated him with a passion that wasn't normal and she always would. But now she wanted to go check on her friends and see how they where.

She knew it was about the time that they headed to her room so she headed there. When she was about to open the door she heard talking and smiled. It seemed something good had happened. Slowly she opened the door and smiled at them, "hey, what is all the talking about?" she asked but then saw the man from earlier with the little Annabelle in his arms. She glared at him slightly, "what are you doing in her and why do you have Annabelle?" she asked

Kamam cut his eyes to the door as he heard it open slowly. He glared at the girl as he rolled his eyes and let out a breath. "Why do the fates cures me so." He said as he let out a breath and looked down to Annabelle who still clung to him. "Anna please tell the annoying princesses to kindly stay out of manners that are none of her concern." He said as he looked down at the child.

The small child looked up at him and nodded then turned and looked to the princess as she still clung to him. "My Fox. He come to take me to daddy and Mama too." The small girl said as she looked back to him and hugged him tightly as small tears feel from her eyes.

He held her close to him as the other maids gathered around him tore to who they should run to. He looked up at the others as he saw how up set it was making them. "Go to her. I am fine. I have missed you all as well." He looked back to Anna as he kissed her fore head and held her as he gently sung her a lullaby smiling as she fell a sleep in his arms. "It has been seven years since she was taken from our home. A baby she was. Where Yue her mother? Where is my sister?" He said finally as he cut his eyes to the maids who looked at one another in fear. He hung his head knowing the looks they gave him meant she was just another victum to the kings cruelty. He open his eyes as he felt Anna move and lay her head on his shoulder. "Then she is at peace with her wolf. Anna and I are alone now." He said as he stared at the sleeping child. "Go a head and scream princess and I'll make you wish you where before that beast that you call father. Anna is my responsibility now and so are the others here. Go ahead and save your parents if you can. I'm not the only one who want them to fall. "

Anastasia just stared at him but then looked at Annabelle. She had made sure that she was safe but when her other family got captures by her father she remembered the pain. Those two where good friends to her, better then most of the people hear and she could remember the screams from them when her father forced her to watch them die. It was her fathers way of showing her that they where powerfull. She hated it more then anything else and how much power she held over them. It was as if she was god and she didn't want that. They deserved to be able to do anything they wanted, not to cower under her.

When he told her to scream for her father and all that other stuff she coudltn' help but laugh. It nearly brought tears to her eyes but she soon stopped and walked towards him, "okay that was very funny, I could care less about my parents so go ahead and kill them. But I doubt that you can. They are more heavily guarded then the royal treasures. But your welcome to try." she said and stepped said and showed him to the door. She then walked over to him and shook her head, "if you think that I am one of those princesses who love their parents and fear people like you then your dead wrong. So stop for a second and listen to me." she said as she looked at him. She then smiled as the maids came over to her and she hugged everyone of them.

You could tell that she cared for them as if they where part of her family. She then walked over to annabelle and gently stroked her head. "if she is your responsability please take care of her, her mother asked me to make sure that nothing happened to her. Though she never told me that she had a brother or anything about you." she said as she looked at him. "now then, if you are here then that means your part of the rebels. What news do they have?" she asked and knew that it would sound odd for a princess to say that.

"Why would she. I broke her heart. To kill your father is not my mission. I have a greater one. Your family guards something more priceless that a life. I will have it. Anna is not safe with you or the rebels. And no princess I am not with them. They don't know I am here. In fact they would be rather up set to know I am here.' He said as he rose to his feet and turned facing her. "I am Fox and that is all you need to know. You presented to be so strong the truth is you are weak and it shows. A strong person knows the difference in fear and rebellion. You haven't found anything to fight for if you had you wouldn't be here and hiding. I take it you are the one who has been leaking information to the rebels. Good luck to them you'll lead them to their deaths. Your just a pawn and one that can be replaced. Why do you think no one speaks of your sister or your brother." He said as he cut his eyes to her knowing he would hit a nerve. The prince and princess had been killed because the sought to protect the real prize of the kingdom and go against their parents. "Do not get your self kill princess you might make a beautiful loving bride some day to a kind prince." He said as he walked out her room. He vanished down the hall. He came and got what he wanted Anna. The next time he came he would get the item that he had been trained since birth to obtain. He hurried back to the guardian then vanished over the palace wall quickly vanishing into the night among the darken streets of the kingdom.

He road out of the city taking one of the horses he had named nightmare. He had found the stallion as a boy and had saved it. The horse had been with him every since and loyal to him. As they road he held Anna tight against him making sure she was safe from falling. He road threw the night and most of the next day till him came to the hidden city he and the few like him called home. He stared at the beautiful lake as he stretched out his hand and spoke the words. The water began to rumbled making his stallion rear up. He held on as a bridge appeared from the water. He quickly found himself on it as he road it vanished as he passed fading back into the water. At the middle of the lake he vanished. He appeared on the other side at the gates of a beautiful castle his own home. He slowly dismounted his horse as the guards greeted him and bowed to him. He bowed back and walked threw the gates heading straight inside. He gently placed Anna on her bed as he kissed her fore head. He looked up as he saw his father there. It was not his real father the man had adopted him after losing his son in battle. There where three other sons and he was the youngest. His father knew of his pass times and had been the one to teach him how to be a great thief. He was the one sent to do the jobs fast and easy. His other brothers where sent when it was war. He could tell that his father was happy to have his granddaughter back. He smiled as his father hugged him and welcomed him back. He stood there with his father as he told him the plan. His brothers would soon go to war against the kingdom that had killed his beloved daughter and captured dear little Anna. With Anna gone there was no reason not to go to war she saw safe. He walked to the banquets hall where he found to his surprise a feast in his honor for bringing the princesses Anna back home safe. He spent his night in celebration with his beloved family. He felt like he was going to be sick as he heard his brother speak of their plans. He cut in telling them that they would fail and how to get passed the guards. He finally asked to join them though to is dismay his father said no. He was a prince and the youngest his time would come for now he did the greatest thing he brought back Anna and that was more than enough.

Anastasia stood there when she heard him and wasn't sure what to do. He was right, she had no reason to fight and she probably was leading them to there deaths. But what was she suppose to do? she was just one princess and she could hardly do anything. When he talked of her brother and sister she felt like she could cry. They had been the only reason she coudl stand this place for the longest time and now she had no one. She was just some girl in this castle that had no meaning in life. ONce he left with anna she just sat there and hte maids tried to make her smile and be happy. They did everything in their power to do so yet nothing worked. She was so weak, just like he said. She had nothing in her life, she was no better then anyone else. Her father needed to be taken down but if the town wanted him dead then many of them would die as well. Slowly as she thought of this she found she could only think of one solution to keep her people safe and end her fathers rule.

"maids please leave me." she said softly and so they did. Anastasia just sat their for a while but slowly she stood up and walked over to her closet and pulled out her training clothing. Simple pants and shirts that she used to go aroung and practice her moves. Yet as she put them on she felt like she was putting on a different skin. Once she was done she felt completely different. She then pulled out her daggers and stuck them in her belt. She ran out of her room and down to where she knew that the elder was. Quietly she slid under the door a note for him, it was simple and stated that he was to take control of the kingdom if something where to come under the royal family. He knew how to run this place and many peopl in the village trusted him more then anything else. He was hte reason that she started to go against her father and now she was going to end it. She then snuck down the hall to where her father and mother slept. She crept into their room and stood over them. They slept peacefully and they didn't deserve that, they where to blame for everything and now she was going to end it. Quickly before she could change her mind she slit both of their necks and with tears in her eyes.

She then could only stare at her hands and knew that she was now a murderer. Slowly she forced herself to get out of that room and felt sick to her stomach for doing this. Yet she then remembered her brother and sister, her father hadn't felt anything for this and why should she for him. So she brushed the rest of the tears away and then ran. She ran threw the secret tunnels and grabbed the one thing her family had protect and then out into the word, leaving behind everything. She had nothing to live for now and was weak. She ws nothing, just a girl in a world. She was a murder of her family and the rightfull leader of a kingdom yet she didn't want to be. She was just a entity in a world that she didn't want to be apart of. By the time that the night had fallen of the next day word of the murder of hte royal family had already spread threw the kingdom and many others. Anastasia just watched it all, watched her kingdom come over a new rules on a hill side. She was nothing, she was just a person now in this world. Around her neck she wore the one thing that was more valuable then anything else, she would keep it safe till the day she died. What she wore around her neck was hte prize of her kingdom, more powerfull then people could imagine. NOw it was her duty to keep it safe and make sure that nothing ever happened to it.

Kamen woke from his dreams as he found himself hearing much whispering about the palace and kingdom. The whispering was of the sudden deaths of the Queen and King of the very kingdom that he had spent his life learning how to destroy and get passed to get Anna back. He rolled his eyes as he watched his brother still prepare for war. He hadn't forgot what they had said to him or his father. He stood and watched as they headed out leaving him and the others behind. It was his job to keep the kingdom at peace here while they went to invade the now crippled city.

He waited till he knew the others where to buys reading them selves for the victory to slip from the palace. He quickly mounted Nightmare and road from the city undetected as normal. He followed the trade routes of the land gathering information from the dark and shady individuals that most would never dare to meet in a lighten ally way much less a darken one. He quickly grew to understand the situation and cursed as he realized the spoiled brat of a girl held the one thing he needed more than anything. She was probably captured or about to be he figured since she was not really as strong as she believed herself to be. He road threw the land and soon found himself peering down at the sea of sand. He couldn't believe his luck as he stared down at the princess.

Anastasia was making her way when she heard something, she heard the sound of someone behing her and quickly drew her daggers. She had dressed herself in a cloak and looked to be a assassin more then a princess now. When she saw who it was she just glared at him for a second and turned. He wasn't worth talking to right now, she needed to get out of here before anyone started to look for her. She kept her daggers at her side and was going to leave but her curiousity was eating away at her till she turned around and looked at him.

"what do you want? I thought you would be with your family and Anna?" she asked but stayed on high alert. After killing her parents something had changed about her. She always felt like she ahd to watch herself, she had no one to watch her back so she was alone. There was also a look in her eyes, a hard look that told you she wasn't afraid to kill now. As she looked him over she guessed that he was either looking for someone or just being a idiot. She hoped that he was just being a idiot now and if he was looking for someone not her. If he was looking for her then she was going to kill him before he had a chance to do anything to her.

Kaman shook his head as his horse leaped down and moved besides hers. "Heading this way will do you no good. Follow me princess your little look scares no one including me. You forget I know who you are. Underneath your touch skin." he said as he headed up the cliffs on the cliffs. He lead her threw man trenches and caves then stopped as he came to one cave. He pulled out a beautiful cup from her house and threw it before the entrance of the cave as a bright light came from it then the mighty city appeared behind the fake cave. He smiled as he road into the city picking up the cup as he went in. He road near her and spoke so only she could here him. "Here You have no name here you are a apprentice Thief. Tell them you are apprentice to Fox." He warned as he lead her to one of the beautiful inn. He dismounted his horse as he walked in and took a set in the dinning area ordering food for them.

Anastasia was surprised when he said for her to follow him and didn't want to. She had no reason to, he was the cause for her to realising what she had to do. But when he started to walk away she found herself following him, even though she hated it inside. Yet when they got to the cave she could only gasp. She never would of expected there to be a city here. She then followed him inside and nodded when she heard him. She then sat down with him and glared at him, "okay what gives, what do you want from me?" she said softly. She knew that no one helped her without having other intentions. There was always something in it for themwelves. She then pressed the stone against her threw her shirt, if he knew about this though she owuld kill him. She had to keep it safe at all costs, no one should have it. But as she waited for his answer she realized taht if this place didn't know her name then she would make up a new one. She wasn't going to be anastasia anymore, she had been a princess. Now she was a murderer and a theif, she deserved a different name. As she shat there she thought and decided that for now on she would go by Runa, Anastasia was dead.

"Sit and eat or die from the sands and fellow thieves it is your choice princess. I really could careless for a spoiled brat. You got yourself into trouble you can only image. And before you go using that stone know there are men here than can do things that not even that stone can save you from. " He said as he picked up the meat and began to mix it with the honey and nuts. The markings showed on his hand declaring him a protector of the scared stone. Though he had no idea how he got the stupid tattoo. Who ever gave it to him was foolish. He had spent his life learning how to steal such things and how to kill not save people and lands though for some strange reasons during his plunders of great things he always managed to do just that. He closed his eyes as he sat there then in a quick motion twisted a fellow theifs hand as the man screamed in pain holding his freshly broken arm. The man cursed at him. "Dame Fox Devil of the sands." The man shouted as he hurried away the others turning as they all saw Kamen. They all quickly left the inn as if afraid to be near him. His reputation was notorious he knew but really it had gotten that bad. He just let out a breath as he went back to eating not bothering to open his eyes as he sat there rather board.

Anastasia glared at him and wanted to hurt him. He thought that she was just some kind of spoiledbrat who knew nothing and was probably just doing a temper tantrum right now since she couldn't get her hands on a crown and a kingdom. He knew nothing of her or what she was or anything. No one did and it bugged the crap out of her. "listen, I am not a spoiled damn girl. I had to work for what I had in that castle. If you think castle life is like some cake walk then your wrong. I know exactly what is going on, what people can do and more things then you could dream of. You understand nothing of me." she said as she glared at him. Sure palacelife seemed nice but it was hard. She had been forced to study everything under the sun that her father thought would keep her out of trouble. She finally had to start running away from the lessons since she couldn't stand them. She then stood up and glared at him again, "I once read that your not suppose to judge a book by it's cover. I think you will have to study those words closely to understand them since you clearly know nothing." she said and then turned and headed out of there. She didn't need him, she needed no one. She had lived like he'll in that palace, that place caused her more pain then anyone could imagin. She watched her siblings die, had been punished and beaten because she couldn't do something right, and forced to study every minute of the day. Her father only wanted to show them he could do anything tothem, he cared nothing for them. So she had don't her own studying and training, it got her here. That guy understood nothing, he probably only wanted the neckless. As she walked out of the town she felt eyes on her and knew a their was tailing her. Before it could come after her more a knife was in it's head. She was stronger then most people would think. As the wind blew it reveiled a small mark on her neck, the soul reason she was alive.

"Your right I wouldn't know anything about my siblings being killed against their will and a father who never lessens and tells me what he makes me do is for the betterment for a kingdom I could care nothing for. He uses my brothers and sisters and pawns and marries them off to who ever and pray they don't fall in love because he will kill the one they love if they do not do as he wishes. Your right I know nothing. Snice you need no help may you find peace on your joruny I have better things to do than babysit you princess and I hope you dirty up you still smell of princess and it want talk long here in this place for the local low life's to catch on who and what you are. If you where so strong you wouldn't have killed them would you. There where others who would have do it but you let your anger get to you. That shows lack of self control and that will get you killed. You believe that this is just some kind of game. Help the rebels leak some information what harm and it do. The problem is you are everything you have tried not to be. Get a backbone and a brain and find some one to teach you self control. You can't go around killing who you like. There is always some one better and stronger than you and if you can't out smart them they will kill you. Really why am I even wasting my time you are so high and mighty." He said as he got up left her there. He walked to where his horse was and mounted it then road off back the way he came.

Anastasia growled as she made her way out of there and didn't care about him. He may know a little bit about her but he still didn't know everything. He acted like he was the all seeing wise guy but he knew next to nothing. Sure she cuold of left her parents alive but that would only cause problems. Her father had been power hungry and wanted only more. If she hadn't of killed him then he would of just found a way to gain control of others. he always wanted control, it was why he killed her siblings. The only reason she wasn't killed was because her father couldn't. the mark on her made her the one to take up controling the neckless. Since he couldn't he made use of her and she had marks all over her body from it. She learned that trust wasn't something you gave to anyone, only certain people who were really close. She could take care of herself and she didn't need him. She continued to head out of there and it started to rain on her. She didn't care, she had no one or home, so she just walked. The rain washed away the last trace of her beign a princess, she was now just a regular person. She knew very well this wasn't a game, he just didn't understand. She had reasons to do this and now she had a time to remake herself into someone stronger.

Fox shook his head as he looked down at his horse as he arched a brown. "What every one is a credit. Let me guess I should followed miss Independent!" He said as he grew angry as the horse stopped and turned it's head eying him. He felt his temper grow as the horse pawed the ground letting him know how he felt on the manner. "Fine! Then you just go a head and go back to her!" He said as he kicked the horse to move. He glared at it as the stupid beast just froze and stared straight ahead not moving. The man closed his eyes as he pulled the hood over his head and put on the metal face mask he was known for wearing. He turned the reigns as he headed back following his own instincts finding Anastasia rather quickly. It took him till midnight to find her. He kept his distance his horse silent as he rode giving her distance so she would never know he was there watching her. He kept his watched over her as she moved knowing she would soon have to find a place to sleep.


He kept his silent guard of her as he dismounted and stood on top of one of the many clefts in the cannon she had ventured into. He waited knowing she would soon meet the natives that called this desolate place home and soon be their captive. She may have killed her father and mother and a low ranked crook but she had never been into a real battle and she wouldn't survive one or the wicked magic and skills that many of the people in this land knew. Here she was just a toy and would be treated like that.

Anastasia continued to walk and felt eyes on her. She placed a hand on her dagger and made sure to be ready just incase whoever decided to attack her. As she started to head into the cannion she knew she was bound to run into some natives. From her studies that she had been forced to go threw she knew she had to be carefull. So when she saw some figures dotting the area around her she stopped. No one came close to her till she bowed and then kneeled on the ground. Slowly a few of the figures came out and approched her. One poked her with the blunt end of a spear, "rise, friend, we know you show no harm." he said and Anastasia slowly got to her feet and looked at them. "I am honored to be a friend." she said as she looked at him and he laughed. "anyone who knows to show respect before entering is a friend. But tell us why? no one has need to come to the desert." he said and Anastasia sighed, "my reasons are my own." she said softly and he nodded. "then come, you must be tired." he said and he started to lead the way. Anastasia followed him and slowly some of the other figures started to follow them. Though a few dissappeared and stayed in there hiding places. After a little while They appeared at what looked like a village carved into the side of the cannion. The man lead her up a few laders and soon she was at the house that was at the top of them all. "this is our leaders. He likes to met all our new friends." he said as he tapped on the door. You then heard a grunted, "what do you want Tenpo?" and Tenpo smiled, "I brough a new friend." he said and you heard some grumbling. Anastasia wasn't sure what to do but soon you heard, "then bring the friend in and leave." Tenpo nodded and smiled at Ana, "come on." he said as he headed inside Anastasia followed him and there was a old man working on some herbs but when he saw Ana he just stared and looked at Tenpo. "leave me with her, let no other come in." Tentpo nodded and soon left. The leader then looked at Ana, "what is a stone and its protector doing so far away from its home?" he asked and Anastasia frowned and looked down, "home is no longer safe." she said softly and the leader nodded and motioned for her to sit. So she did and he contineud to work with the herbs. "what is your name? I am Rin." he said softly. "I was someone else, now I am Runa." she said and Rin nodded. "well your welcome here Runa. As long as you respect us we will respect you." he said and Runa smiled and nodded, "thank you." she said and was about to leave when Rin shook his head. "come here." he said and so Runa did. He then took her hand and the herb he was working with he added some water and it became like a salve. He made a design on her hand with the salve and then smiled at her. "now you can go." he said and Runa looked at her hand, "what was that for?" She asked and Rin smiled. "time will tell. For now go." he said and Runa did.

Some of the warriors were watching and saw something. They got ready for anything and made sure that if whoever was up there wasn't going to attack them. If they didn't show the sign of respect or kneeled they would attack.

Fox gave a deep bow as he felt the eyes on him. He kept his place as he knew the others would know who he was in a instance. They where the ones that had taught him the rules and skills that he lived by. Not even his own people understood him though the truth was he was not the kings real son. He belonged to a poor man his father died a long time ago. The kings wife had died and his last son. The king was in grief when Fox had saved him from a attack from a small group of the enemy taking a sword in the heart for the man because it was the right thing to do. The king repaid him by making him his son and teaching him things that he would have never knew. He jumped from his spot after reveling his left arm the metal band that he wore around his upper armed marked him as one of their warriors. There was things in this world that many knew nothing of. Not even the man he called father knew what he was trained to protect and why. He knew the others would tell the elder he was there and waited for him in the secret place they trained.

When they saw the bow and hte arm band instantly there were people running towards him and some ran away. When one came to him they smiled. "brother, we were wondering when you would be back." said Nitun as he looked at him. It had been a long time since they ahd seen each other but he wouldn't forget the man that he considered a brother. "come, I am sure Master Rin would love to see you." he said as he smield at him.

The others that had ran went to RIn just as Anastasia was about to leave. RIn nodded as he heard the news and he looked at Anastasia, "before you go Runa, there is someone you must met." he said and slowly got to his feet. He then headed out of there as Anastasia followed him. THey came to a area that was isolated and Rin made her stay in the shadows.
