CHAPTER 1- Soul of Flames : Ifrit

Part VIII - Back to the Village
When Xeno came back, he found Lynn leaning on the rock, watching the sun rise above the trees. Xeno went over and said good morning. Lynn gave an uninterested mumble but otherwise remained silent. Together, they gazed at the sun until their eyes hurt and they could gaze no longer.

Lynn got up and headed for the stream, beckoning Xeno to follow. At the stream, Lynn said to Xeno "now, I want you to be a good boy and stand guard while I bathe, can you do that?" Xeno nodded in agreement. As images of Lynn bathing began to form in his mind, Lynn gave a stern warning, "if u ever dared to take a peek, I swear to every god I know, I will dig out your eyes."

After Lynn was done and dried off (and finished beating Xeno up for peeking), they started on the path back to the village. As they neared home, Xeno and Lynn pulled up their cloaks to make hoods so their faces won't be seen. Soldiers were patrolling every inch of the village, questioning villagers and searching houses. Posters of Lynn and Xeno's faces were all over, a reward of 100,000 gold was offered for the live capture of the couple.

First, they headed for the keep. There, Xeno withdrew all the money from Jax's savings. The keeper looked at them with sorrow in his eyes. Xeno feared not that the other villagers would sell them out. The villagers were all trustworthy people and would never betray a fellow villager.

Next, Xeno and Lynn stopped at the store to buy food for their journey. The lady handed them their food without a word, took the money and turned away. Xeno didn't blame their behavior, messing with the Empire could only bring pain and trouble. Having everything they needed, Xeno and Lynn headed for their last two stops before leaving the village.
