"It is getting dark." said Larimar who walked to David and Smoer. "I think it's time to find a safe place to sleep." Smoer nodded. "Good idea." Sam, Neocro and Sven walked to the others. "Where can we sleep?" Everyone looked to David. David looked to the 5 friends. "I sleep at the moment in a little house near the forest of Darkon 3. It is the house of Laola. I'll ask if you can sleep there too." The 5 nodded. "We'll walk." said David and he got up. Sam gave everyone quickstep. They walked slow trough the swamp and reached the gate that leaded to the forest of Darkon 3, here they said good-bye to MrBored and Narf. David walked trough the gate. The swamp ground changed into a soft forest ground where the trees threw big dark shadows on. The sun was getting lower. They entered the forest. "Twilight." said David. Smoer looked to David. "What?" "Twilight," said David. "That's how we call it when sun is almost gone." "Oh..." said Smoer. Sudden they saw a little house on the foot of a big tree. The house seemed to give light. "There it is." said David. He knocked on the door of the little house. The house was pretty small but it looked strong. A little, old woman opened the door. She was wearing pink clothes what was very unusual with old women. "Oh, hi David." said the woman. "I see you brought some friends." David nodded once. "They train on the same place where I trained today. I met them on a really confrontational way." David winked to Smoer. "But, they search a place to stay for the night." The woman stared trough the doorway to the 5 friends. Her look felt as heat over their body. The cold that they cought cause walking trough the swamp was suddenly gone. "As long you don't mind, David, that they sleep in the same place as you do." David smiled. "No problem!"
A bit later they all lied down upstairs on the attic. "That was a warm welcome." said Sam. "Literally." Shuddered Neocro. "I don't know if I like her..." said Larimar. David laughed bright. "You like nothing that doesn't link to physically power." Lari looked angry to David. "Explain a bit please, David." said Neocro curious. "She looks really old and not strong, physically. But her mind is young and full of power." Smoer coughed. "She is a Hamba." "A what?" asked Lari. David talked before Smoer could talk. "I guess it's time to sleep guys. It's already late." A bit later everyone was in dreamland.
The friends stayed a few days training. During the day they trained 2 by 2. Larimar with Sam, Sven with Neocro and Smoer with David. When it started to get dark, they walked to the little house of Laola. There they could find a good night rest. Lari still didn't feel ok with Laola but she was already happy that she could sleep on a safe place. One evening they sat in front of Laola her little house around a campfire, talking bout random objects. Sudden David asked the attention. "I... leave tomorrow." Everyone was quiet. "Why?" asked Lari. David scratched his skin. "I go to the city for a while. Normal stuff... Selling items, buying items and hoping to find some old friends." Lari nodded. "Then I go too. It's not that I don't like the life what we got now but I miss MrBored and Narf..." "And you don't like Laola." giggled Neocro. The others laughed too. "I'm going with you then." said Sam. "I promised you to go on adventure with you so I follow you where ever you go. Last time I didn't followed you is not one of my favorite memories." Lari smiled then she looked to Sven and Neocro. "What about you?" Sven stared to the fire. "I want to visit my mom for 1 day and then I want to search Irens and train there, I like training here." "Sounds ok." answered Neocro. "I go with you cause at least someone needs to watch you." Sven glared at Neocro. Then everyone looked to Smoer. Smoer didn't know what to say. "Err... I don't like that we split..." Lari lifted her shoulders. We are all different, it's obvious that we can't stay together for ever." Smoer nodded. "That's right... Well... Who can I go with?" "With me!" shouted everyone. Smoer laughed. "Why then?" "Without you," laughed Lari. "I'm scared to lose the right path in deadwallderness." "I like to have you with me." Continued Neocro. "I love your stories, you learn me a lot." Sven and Sam nodded. Then Smoer looked to David. "And you?" David lifted his shoulders and put himself on his back. His eyes stared to the stars. He was quiet. "I guess we should go sleep," said Smoer. "I'll decide tomorrow what I will do."
That night Smoer couldn't sleep. She couldn't decide what to do. She listened to the breathing of her friends. Smoer wanted that she could go with all of them. Sudden David moved to Smoer. "Do you know why I want you to come with me?" Whispered David. "No..." Whispered Smoer back. "I love being with you." said David quiet. Smoer was happy that it was that dark so David couldn't see she was blushing from head to toes. They felt asleep near each other.
The next day Smoer logged in. She was standing in the attic. The others seemed to be not online yet. She stepped off the stairs. When she came downstairs she saw Laola sitting at a small table. She was reading a book. She looked up from her book and stared to Smoer. "Hi Smoer." said Laola. "Hi..." said Smoer back, a bit shy. This was the first time that she was alone with Laola. Loala pointed at the chair in front of her. Smoer hesitated but walked to the chair and put herself down. For a moment none of the two talked. Then Loala talked. "It's always difficult to make choices. Specially when you have to choose between friendship, love and concern." Smoer stared to the table. "No one is going to help with your choice, Smoer." Continued Laola. "Ask to yourself what you want, not who you want." Smoer stared asking to Laola. "I want to learn, to be smarter." said Smoer. Laola put her book away and took Smoer her hands. The touches felt good to Smoer, she closed her eyes. Sudden a voice in her head appeared, the voice of Laola... "I know that you know what I am. You should also know that this supposes to be a secret. If you want, stay here. I'll teach you every day about things that I know but... not to much." "Why not?" thought Smoer. "Knowing to much can hurt you and destroy your soul. I would like to teach you things like I educated David." Smoer opened her eyes. "I would like that." Said Smoer happy. Laola looked surprised to Smoer. "Where are you talking about?" Smoer and Laola laughed. At that moment David came downstairs. He greeted Laola friendly and opened the front door. He looked to Smoer. Laola winked to Smoer. Smoer got up and walked with David outside. "You are to early." said David. They walked trough the fresh grass. Smoer lifted her shoulders. "Maybe." David looked into Smoer her eyes. "How comes?" Smoer looked to the ground. She ignored the question of David. He didn't had to know, not yet. They put themselves down and started to talk bout other things. A bit later Sven and Neocro came outside, followed by Sam. At last Larimar came outside. When they were finished bout talking bout their day, Larimar came with the big question. "And, what did you decide Smoer?" Smoer looked to all her friends, and to David. She smiled. Everyone was quiet. "I decided to stay here." said Smoer. Everyone looked surprised, except David. "Laola will teach me. During day I'll study here and when it's evening I can tell stories to Sven and Neocro. In that way I get smarter and I will keep an eye on Sven. It's the best I can do." Everyone was agreed with Smoer her choice.
Smoer was standing in front of Loala's house. David came outside with a big bag full of items that he found. "It's not good." said Smoer. "What?" asked David. Smoer looked to Sam and Neocro. "That..." They sat near each other in the grass. Sam looked sad and Neocro tried to cheer her up. "They aren't supposed to be separated." David smiled. "Don't worry that much, Smoer." Neocro got up and pulled Sam on her feet. They hugged. Then Sam walked into the house for getting her stuff. Neocro walked to Smoer and David. She sighted. "I hope we'll be back together soon." A bit later Sam and Larimar flied away. Sven and Neocro took a blink wing to Saint Morning. "Well... I'm going too..." said David. "Yes," said Smoer. "Bye David." "Bye Smoer." said David and he took a blink wing. Right before he disappeared he gave Smoer a kiss on her cheek. Smoer stared to the place where David got up 1 second ago. "Bye David..." She stared to the flowers and the green grass around the house. Then she shook her head and entered the house.
