Chapter 6 - STRANGE LADY (TWO)

" am Glorious by the way , what's your name " She glanced at the Glorious of a girl .

" is that your name or what ?" Glorious let out a smile.

" that's my birth name " Glorious said .

" hold on , so your parents gave you the name Glorious , why ? "

" i don't know maybe i will ask them in the after life " Glorious said causing her to bit the inside of her lips before letting out an 'oh' .

" So what's your name ? " Glorious asked again , she stare at Glorious for few seconds contemplating whether to tell her the truth or not , after much contemplating she decided not to tell her the truth after all they might never see each other again .

" Evelyn Hervey " she said causing Glorious to chuckle.

" lies " Glorious blunted out

" excuse me ? "

" i have the ability to tell when someone is lying and i can fully tell that you are lying " for few moment she just stare at Glorious wondering if it was true , maybe the girl was just messing with her .

" that's my name , you're not my parents who gave me the name " it was a rude way to talk to someone who is obviously helping you but what can she do ?

" hmm" Glorious let out a breath , she didn't question the girl again but that didn't mean she won't press for answers later , she did just let the girl relax .

The steady movement of the carriage came to a stop which caused the girl to narrow her brows , are they kidnappers ?, will they kidnap her ? or maybe they may just kill her and sell her body parts in the black market like she heard . She watched as the coachman came down and went into the bush , vanishing among the bushes .

" don't worry Zolan will be back shortly " Glorious said but the girl wasn't taking any of it she kept on glancing at the entrance to the bush where the coachman vanished to .

" You're paranoid " Glorious said to the girl .

" what are you running away from ? "

" who said am running away from anything ?" she asked looking back at Glorious .

" it's clearly obvious the you're running away from something , you look like a mess " She would have unlashed her anger and frustrations on Glorious but she composed herself .

" am not running from anything , just lost my way "

" lies "

" what's your deal with me anyways ? "

" where are you from ? " Glorious asked, the girl paused for a while , should she be honest this time around ? no !!

" am from the south , from a village called Gerlach " she said .Glorious shook her head negatively .

" if i had known you will lie about everything , i would not have bothered asking you " she was about to reply to the comment when she saw the coachman coming with a sack bag filled with something she don't know, he opened her side of the carriage and dump the bag beside her , she eyed the coachman suspiciously who left her to continue with riding.

Taking the bag to her side , Glorious opened it , the smile on her face widen , she dipped her hand inside the bag and brought out a purple heart shaped looking fruit .

" this is known as purple heart , it's my fifth favourite fruit " the spark in her eyes were unmatchable .

" here , take this one " she gave the fruit to the girl who kept on looking at the strange thing .

" i have never seen anything like it before " she stated .

" wow , the very first truth you have told me " Glorious pointed out which caused the girl to roll her eyes .

" purple heart can only be found in the middle of the Caitrin lake right in the heart of the ASA forest which is located here in the south " Glorious explained .

" why is it glowing purple ? " she asked .

" purple heart will not be called purple heart if it is not purple right ? " The girl kept her eyes fixed on the fruit , it looks strange and weird , why will she want to risk her life for just a fruit , as if she read her mind , Glorious took a bit from the fruit while trying to ignore the girl , even she found the fruit strange at first but then when she tasted it , the sweetness was something different.

" since it's in the middle of a lake how did you get it ?" Glorious smiled .

" a friend Aquarian gave it to me " The girl eyed her suspiciously .

" i can't lie even if i want to " Glorious said . Watching the glowing thing in her hand , she shook her head , gosh she's extremely hungry , since the girl is already eating it ,she decided to give the fruit a try . With her eyes closed , she slowly brought the fruit close to her lips and then took a bit , the moment the sweet delicious taste of the fruit reached her taste bug , she let out a satisfied moan , not long she finished the fruit .

" here have another one " Glorious passed another to her , the fruit was dripping wet an evidence that it actually came from under water , she accepted the fruit and begun to devour it like someone who has been staved for day .

" so what are you going to do in Helge ? " Glorious asked when she noticed how busy the girl was in eating her food .

" Helge ? " she asked rising up her head to look at Glorious .

" the next town is called Helge " Glorious answered .

" oh ! nothing much "

" okay " Glorious said , she picked up a piece of cloth from the side of the carriage and started to pack some fruits.

" i have not asked you about this but the phoenix is a siege for which kingdom ?"

" why should i tell you , you have been lying to me about yourself "

" it's not a lie "

" another lie " Glorious reply .

" you know what forget about it " she waved it off .

" it's the Recon siege " Glorious answered .

" Recon ? never heard of it "

" you shouldn't " Glorious replied .

The carriage finally came to a stop .

" we're are here , Helge " Glorious said , she pushed the bag of fruits towards the girl who raised her brow.

" just in case you get hungry "

" thank you " Glorious nod at her , the girl carefully came down from the carriage to behold the busy street of Helge . But then she turned and face Glorious.

" so where are you going to ? " she asked out of curiosity , the way the lady is dressed means she must be someone important .

" west , am visiting my brother after ten years "

" wow ! i wish you the best of luck " she said before leaving , gently she walked into the street mingling with the people.

The carriage didn't move an inch , it stayed there for a couple more minutes before it finally took off .

* Zolan ? purple heart glowed , it reacted to whatever thing she was holding * Glorious mind linked Zolan

* did you bother to ask her what it was *

* she will lie about it as well *

* i thought purple heart can only react to dragon's flame ? *

* i have a feeling we will meet again * Glorious said as she disconnect from the mind link , she lean backwards and closed her eyes .

' i wonder how they're doing , ten years is not ten days '.
