For the first time in a long time I opened my eyes and saw a very beautiful ceiling above my head, the decoration of this temple was peace for my eyes, it had been a long time since I remembered what it was like to be at peace, maybe it's because the moments of peace and tranquility are rare in this world today.

Several days had passed since we arrived at the Lunaris Clan forest. At first we were a little tense because we thought they would tell us where Alicia's sister was quickly and we would have to leave after a few days, but it turns out that wasn't the case.

We would have to wait until the next full moon so that the priestess can use her power and thus know her location, according to them the next full moon is tomorrow, so we spent all these days more peacefully.

Each of us would do what we wanted as long as it didn't bother the clan itself. To be honest I have no idea what the girls were doing.

Personally, I took these days to walk in the forest after training and finishing my routine.

I felt the need to do it, sometimes I wondered why I kept going... I started to forget the reason why I keep walking, maybe I'm tired of following this path.

Although who knows, when we get up in the morning we never know how the day will end, that can be good or bad.

At some point I started to worry if with every second that passes I'm doing the best I can, maybe I can do these exercises better... Or suddenly my way of thinking could be better... I don't know, I just know that right now I am doing what I consider best, so that in the future, I have no regrets and no way to complain.

So I can say "I did the best I could at the time" that would be more than enough for me.

While I was focused on my thoughts, someone hit me on the head with their very gentle hand.

Enzo: If you fill your head with too many things you will get lost boy.

Robert: Hello... Enzo, you're right, it's a bad habit I have, maybe I should intensify my training...

Enzo had approached me these days, I had a sneaking suspicion that it was to watch me, but whether to watch me or not, I enjoyed talking to him, so I took the opportunity to consider him my personal psychologist and vent, also to ask him things.

This way I kill two birds with one stone, there is nothing better than telling your problems and asking about the lives of others, so they don't feel so questioned.

Enzo: Don't worry, I have an effective way to get you out of your thoughts.

Enzo threw a wooden sword at me...

Robert: I have never used a sword in my life Enzo...

Enzo: There is a first time for everything, it is not too late for you to learn things.

Ahh... It's certainly refreshing to hear that kind of thing when he says it.

Without much complaint, I decided to take the sword.

Enzo: Well, attack me as best you can, so I can do a little analysis of you.

Robert: Okay...

I took the sword and... I had no idea how to use it... I laughed a little at myself, it was funny to me that I had no idea about something.

I guess I'll do a diagonal attack, doing a frontal attack seems a bit obvious.

I ran towards Enzo and pretended I was going to give him a direct attack from above but then I changed my weight and position with my legs and did a diagonal attack.

Enzo blocked it without blinking.

Enzo: You certainly have good initiative, your way of thinking is not bad, but the problem is that you are too slow.

Robert: I remind you that I am an ordinary person in this world.

Enzo put a hand on his chin as if thinking.

Enzo: True... I had forgotten. How do you speak our language?

Robert: For this.

I showed him the bracelet I had on my arm.

Enzo: What is that?

Robert: Ehh... In simple words, a translator that the girl we are looking for gave me.

While I was telling Enzo this, I took a small thermos of water that I brought with me and started drinking it.

Enzo: Ohh... She's a great person then. Is she your wife?

I spit out the water I was drinking and started coughing due to the surprise of the question...

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

Robert: No... She's not my wife...

I certainly felt very strange saying those words.

Enzo: So what are they?

My God... What a difficult question to answer... What are Samantha and me? Enemies? No, that can't be, so are we friends? Mmm it wouldn't be wrong to say that... But I don't know something makes me uncomfortable saying that.

After thinking about it a lot I came up with a wise answer to tell Enzo.

Robert: I don't know...

Enzo: You don't know? I didn't expect a response like that from you Robert.

Robert: Our relationship is complicated Enzo...

Enzo upon hearing that seemed to understand something with his assumptions.

Enzo: I understand... Basically, you're in love and you don't know it.

I wonder how I came to that conclusion...

Robert: How did you come to that conclusion?

Enzo began to tell me when he was young how he met his wife, in simple words the clan was previously divided and his wife belonged to the rival side, and after many fights among other things they fell in love.

A simple but effective story for me...

So... I'm in love with Samantha? Look, falling in love with a person from another world is crazy, speaking objectively as a rational person... But rationality no longer exists to a certain extent, so I don't think it's that bad...

Ahhh how annoying to think about this, I would like to ask someone wise, but I have an idea of what Enzo would answer if I asked him...

I got hit on the head again from being lost in thought.

Enzo: Don't give it too much thought, let yourself be guided by your instincts and feelings, when the time comes you will know what to say, so on guard, I will teach you the moon sword style.

That day Enzo taught me some techniques and the Lunaris fighting style, although since I am neither a prodigy nor a genius I decided to write down all the details in my small notebook, so I will know how to execute the techniques and movements.

After that, night fell, I decided like every day to go for a walk after finishing my routine and training.

Enzo had already left with his family, so he was alone walking like every day.

As I walked in the quiet of the night I wondered how it ended like this, originally I was heading to the shelter to meet him... I had received a message from him many months ago but I had not decided to go see him, something in me He said at that moment that it was time to leave, I don't know what he will say to me when I meet him, not what was specific in the message.

But being him, it must be something important.

Is it worth going so far out of my way?

I don't know, there are no right or wrong answers, there are no right or wrong paths either.

Depending on the results we would base it and answer if it was a good or bad decision for us.

This it is the sad reality.

Robert: Why is life so difficult...? (Whisper)

Nocturnia: It's difficult if you want it (Whisper)

Robert: Maybe... Ehh!

I got very startled and fell to the side of the road because someone whispered in my ear.

A woman materialized from the shadows.

Nocturnia: I see that you can stop being boring when you put your mind to it.

Robert: I don't know what you mean by boring weird girl.

When I finished getting up I realized that she had a knife around my neck again... although this time apart from having her knife on my neck from my back she was very close to me and her other arm was around my stomach... This It's no longer a matter of murder... This is harassment!

Robert: Mmm... Um... Nocturnia right? Could you stop clinging to me so much? I feel quite uncomfortable.

Nocturnia: Are you trying to imply that I'm a stalker?

The knife stuck closer to my neck, I felt like it was cutting me due to the pressure.

Robert: Ehh... Of course not... It's just that it must be uncomfortable for you that your great outfit is dirty by the blood of an ordinary person.

The girl was so close to me that I could feel her breathing, although when she heard what I said her grip softened.

Nocturnia: Mmm... You're right, I'm too beautiful to get dirty from someone as filthy as you.

After that he let me go.

I was grateful to life for freeing me from this tense situation.

When I was about to leave she grabbed my hand and stopped me.

Nocturnia: What do you think you're doing?

Is walking wrong?

Robert: Well... Follow my path?

Nocturnia: I didn't give you permission to do it, follow me.

Since when do I need this girl's permission to walk?

Nocturnia dragged me a few steps towards some shadows then she pulled me towards her and hugged me, out of nowhere everything became dark, when the darkness faded I noticed that we were in another place.

So this is the ability to blend into shadows? She could move anywhere where there was a good amount of darkness and shadow.

We had reached a high place and in front of us there was a very beautiful lake. How many lakes does this forest have?

As I looked at the beautiful landscape of the night and the side I noticed that nocturnal nothing that took off from me...

Robert: Ah... What a beautiful landscape... It would look even better if I could move around to see it better...

After those, Nocturnia let go of me and pushed me, I fell due to her pushing.

To be honest, I'm 80% sure that this girl has some trauma or something, I highly doubt that a murderer would hit someone so hard like that, I don't think she likes it, rather, it's like she sees someone else in her reflection. In Myself.

I am not a psychologist but I have some common sense and experience on the subject.

Nocturnia: I'll borrow you for a while.

That? Will you borrow me? What does it refer to?

After telling me that, he put one of his fingers to my forehead and I lost consciousness.

I woke up and didn't see anything. Am I dead? I couldn't feel the wind, it touched my face and I had a bandage on, I took it off, I was still in the same place but Nocturnia was no longer there, finally good news.

When I was about to get up I felt my whole body hurt... It's like someone had beaten me and left me lying there.

What did that girl do to me?

After leaving that small hill, I walked colonially and decided to return to the temple that we were assigned to.

In the middle of the path, I felt something strange... Before I realized it, I was standing still... I don’t know when I stopped... It felt as if for a moment I had forgotten what I was doing; how odd... Did that girl leave me with some sort of trauma... It doesn't matter.

When I got to the temple I decided to take a bath, when I took off my shirt Danny walked by and saw me.

Danny: Um... Were you doing any special training today?

Robert: Special training?

Danny: Yes, your body looks with some bruises, and... What is that thing you have there near your shoulder?

I looked at a small mirror in the room.

My God... My whole body was beaten! What the hell did that girl do to me? Did he beat me up? I understand that you hate me but this is going too far.

I looked a little close to my shoulder and saw... The mark of some teeth... My mood went from angry to worried... That didn't mean anything good...

Danny: Did Enzo teach you that training? Will you teach me that training sometime?

I don't think Danny is understanding the situation... I guess it's better that he thinks that way.

Robert: Who knows, I'm not good at memorizing Enzo's workouts... Anyway, I'll go take a shower.

After that I left.

(Nocturnia's Perspective)

You really look a lot like him... Oliver...

While saying this he touched me near the shoulder, I could feel the mark...
