Abduction (Tang Yin/open)

[Ao Ai]

Things had always been peaceful in Wu Ling, even when the province had fallen to shu, it had done so almost without a fight. Of all the provinces of Jing and for that matter china, it was perhaps the most peaceful. A good place for a wealthy noble family to sit out the chaos of the war of three kingdoms, or that was the theory. The land was good for farming and relatively well off, even if it lacked the large cities of the north. It would be described as very rural by some and it lacked the splendor that a young noble girl needed in her life. Yet despite that Ao Ai loved living in Wu Ling, it was close enough to Xiang Yang if she wanted to go shopping yet still quite and tranquil. Most importantly of all it was some where she felt safe, she had not see a bandit here in a very long time. Today that was all about to change.

Her carriage rolled along, down the winding rode by the Qi river. It was mid afternoon, she had spent all of yesterday shopping in Xiang Yang. Now she was beat and ready to go home for a while, perhaps spend a week back home. Besides it had been too long since she threw on her black outfit and patrolled the night. There was always work to be done for a kunoichi, even more so in times of war. She might not be aligned with any lord, but her blades were still needed to protect the people. There was a reason that Wu Ling was so peaceful and she was a part of that. No one harmed the people of Wu Ling without awnsering to her. The problem was who would help her when she one day needed help? that question was about to be awnsered.

Ao Ai had fallen asleep inside her carriage, after a fun and very pro active shopping day before hand. Her maid was arraigning her new clothes on the other bench while she lay down fast asleep. The first she knew of any trouble was a scream. Not the sound of her maid screaming but her driver, he called out not in fear but pain. The next thing she heard was a thump as he fell to the ground, a cross bow bolt having taken him in the chest. The horses pulling her carriage now lacking direction came to a halt before the armed bandits blocking the path.

"Ha, looks like we got out selves a noble lads." The bandit chief laughed, his cruel laughter reaching Ao Ai ears even inside her carriage. His men moved out to surround the carriage. At least 5 men, the majority armed with crossbows of swords. They were well pleased with themselves as well they might be. Taking a noble hostage always meant a hefty ransom from their family, or otherwise there were other uses for noble women. Inside the carriage there was only panic.

"Don't worry it will be alright, i promise i wont let them hurt you." Ao Ai reassured her maid, all the while just trying to keep her own calm. She had never been in a situation like this before, at least not alone. Stalking men like this threw the night was one thing but this....was another. She took a moment to check her knives were concealed under her skirt, yes they were out of sight, a small comfort. She was not sure how well she would do against so many but least it was a reassurance. She tried to put on her best 'terrified little girl' face, needing to look innocent rather than the assassin she was by night. Her appearance was her only advantage now. With a ring of finality there came as heavy knock on the door as the bandits demanded they come out.

[Tang Yin]

Tang Yin is traveling around Wu Ling being lost during the day and landed while heading towards the Luo Yang and landed Wu Ling somehow. Hearing a bit of noise coming from towards a small caravan that was around two hundred feet away. Going towards the woods that was right beside the location of the danger. Taking his bow that he found while passing in the cities around and small village getting it for helping some villagers with their cattle and taking care of a bandit camp as well. He fired the first arrow in the back of the one trying to enter the card from the side door making him fall face first inside.

The captain of the bandits was in shock seeing his second in command in this mission was shot out of no were. The other bandits started to look for the man that fired the arrow that hit one of them in the back of the skull. The leader of the group decided to go behind the cart looking for him and getting shot the left knee going through the bone to the other side making him fall on the ground screaming in pain while his blood was falling on the road.

The rest of the group of bandit rushed towards the woods thinking that is the location that they could run away from the rain of arrow and in one way that was true. Running in the wood the first one got his head cut off. The other two grabbing there sword shivering while facing a man that was taller than them and to make it a bit more insulting the man was also missing one of his eyes. The two tried to do a double team while one of them goes right of him and the other went to the left Yin does a fast cartwheel to get out of the way to let the two bandits crash together one of them getting the sword through the heart and the other got lucky and received it in the arm.

The last bandits try to run away as fast as he could from the left side. Yin grabbed the dead bandit’s sword and throws it right in the middle of the last one that was standing spine making him fall and bleed and yelling in pain not moving. Tang Yin knew that the bandit was not dead but also knew that the man was going to bleed to death before he even begins moving once again.

Yin coming out of the woods and walks towards the leader of these bandits that was still on the floor trying to crawl out with his knee being penetrated. Yin takes the leader by the throat and slams him to the back of the carriage making the man’s head bounce and also starts to bleed on top of everything. “Tell me where is your leader scum bag? I am sick and tired of you bandits running around like you are kings but yet you cannot even defend yourselves in a fair fight.” The anger in Yin face was easy to read and the fear that the leading bandit felt was even more obvious than the rest of the people saw.

[Ao Ai]

This time it was her maid that screamed, he shout tearing the air as an ugly, stinking bandit shoved his head threw the carriage door. He leered at them then tried to drag the maid, whose name was Li Mi outside by the arm. She yelled beating at him with her fists, although she might as well have been hitting a tree trunk for all it achieved. Ao Ai could stop him, she knew she could but how then to deal with the rest of them. Alone, and dressed up like a doll she wasn't exactly in her prime. It seemed best to simply go along with them for the moment.

"If you hurt her i will..." Ao Ai said firmly, not quite sure how she was going to end that comment when something happened that changed everything. The bandit reared back up, like he had been shot. Which he in fact had been, his face setting in a look of agony just before the died, falling into the carriage and over Li Mi lap. The girl screamed again for all the world to hear, painful hurting Ao Ai ears. Her hearing which had always been acute, sharpened by her training as a kunoichi. She took a moment to recover as she blinked away the pain. Reaching out she slapped Li Mi across the face, eventually shutting her up. It was cruel and she regretted it almost at once, but she needed to think. The girl stammered but was quite, thankfully she knew well how sensitive her hearing could be. She could ask for forgiveness once this was over and they were both safe.

Ao Ai tuned to look out the windows, in what had seemed like just moments all the bandits but one were dead. A strange man with an eye patch was standing over the last survivor. She guessed from the way he had taken care of all those villains that he must be a soldier, perhaps in the service of Liu Bei. It was at the very least comfort that there were a few good souls around in these troubled times. Ao Ai pushed open the door of her carriage, kicking the dead bandit out of her way as she stepped out. The man with the eye patch was busy questioning the last bandit. She heard him say something about 'some bandit leader' as she stepped outside. She was more interested in her rescuer who seemed to be ignoring them like they were dead or something.


"You save us, oh i cant thank you enough." Ao Ai declared gratefully as she carefully stepped around the dead bodies and discarded weapons. She kept well out of range of the last bandit who seemed to be in some considerable pain. Ordinarily she might have pitted him, but men like him had it coming. Holding both hands to her heart like it might stop after such a shock, she often had to fake such things to make her appearance more defenseless than she in fact was. It really would not do for people to find out about her...talents. Although she was grateful to this man, she still knew nothing about him.

[Tang Yin]

Tang Yin looked at the girl not knowing she was there until she did say something to him. He was about to open his mouth to say something while the bandit kicked Yin in the gut making both men fall down. Yin gets backs out before the bandit could escape his grab and stabs the man through the throat making him gasp for air until his death which was caused by him losing half his body two seconds after he was cut in half. He then turns around and looks at the girl while he cleans his sword making sure it does not stain with blood and rust all over the blade breaking it.

“My apologies miss I hope they were not here with you they seemed to be here to destroy something or hurt you.” He walks slowly towards her after placing his blade back in its sheet making sure that no one would ever think he was there trying to hurt her. Looks at her with his good eye in a small moment of silence on his part. He did not know who she was but the obvious look of the noble people and also of an actress. “Might I ask what you were doing here in the plane seen of danger without any protection my lady”

After he finished his words that he had spoken he goes toward the dead bandit and rips out his arrow from the man’s skull then cleans it. The second one that is in the knee of the leader of the bandits and goes to the second half of the man’s body and rips it out from his knee and cleans that one as well placing it back in his quiver. Look at the lady once more and smile she was gorgeous even though he did not want to do anything with her it was easy to tell himself this but does not show that at all. He then hears that there was another cart summing toward their location.

“Well my lady I am guessing you wish to know my name. I am Tang Yin son of the former blacksmith of Luo Yang. I am a simple traveler of the land that does not have a real home after the death of my sister.” He stopped for a moment and decided to stop talking to her from there the last thing he needed was to talk about the loss of his sister and starting trouble once again there was enough of the time with Sun Ren.

[Ao Ai]

(so sorry this post took me so long. I have been really busy with uni work recently, burried under a tone of reading material. Should be back to normal now)

Lady Ao Ai just blinked looking at the man who had just chopped a bandit in half before speaking to her. He was just so....blunt. Clearly what you saw was what you got when it came to this man, nothing like her she thought slightly shamefaced. If everyone was as open and honest as this man the world would be a better place. Even if he did cut people in freaking half, she looked down as the pool of spreading blood. Of course it wasn't like the bandit had given him a lot of choice, still who could do something like that.

"Well this area has been so peaceful recently it just didn't seem necessary. Although i suppose that might have been a slightly mistake with hindsight." Ao Ai admitted wondering just how much to tell him. He had saved her life and nothing earned trust quicker than that, even so she didn't like being an open book. She was a complicated young girl, while he clearly wasn't. He could react badly if he found out she was a kunoichi. Of course he might react positively as well, there really was no way to tell, no safe way at least. She settled for a half truth instead. "Besides i can take care of my self....some times at least."

She didn't want to seem arrogant about her skills but it did wound her pride at little that she had needed rescuing. She was an assassin a hunter of darkness, an angel of the night striking fear into those who perpetrated evil. Or at least she was supposed to be, if she could not even fight off a pack of bandits what use was she, it wasn't like her natural talents didn't work in day light. Perhaps she had just be scared to fight while dressed like this, like....a women. She took a look down at herself, she was pretty of course that was the point to look good like an ornament. She didn't want to bean ornament she wanted to make a difference in the world, today she would have failed to do that. It hurt to admit that to herself, she was once again just that weak noble girl who had cried at Chang Ban while so many people died. She had done nothing than and preformed little better today.

'Ah the hell with it' she thought brushing off that brief moment of melancholy. She was too high strung and energetic to get depressed about anything for long. She had messed up, it happened the important thing was no one was hurt. Better yet she had been saved by a...well a very strange man. She realized she had yet to really thank him, that is too say thank Tang Yin as he called himself.

"Well thank you Tang Yin, you are a most defiantly not a simple traveler in my eyes. You save both my self and my maid today, don't think we are ungrateful. My name is lady Ao Ai, my family estate is near by in Wu ling." She said smiling as she took a look back at her carriage. Her maid Li Mi was still hiding inside, the poor girl had taken a quite a shock and like most people would take a while to recover from it. Clearly quite unshaken herself Ao Ai took a better look at Tang Yin. He was missing one eye, she wondered if there was a story behind that, if there was could she persuade him to tell it to her? also why was he here in Wu Ling, Lou Yang was far away? he had said son of a former blacksmith, she wondered if there was a tale there as well? She heard the sound of a cart coming in their direction but she ignored it for the moment to caught up in her own thoughts.

"What brings you south then? or are you just in the habit of saving young noble women from highway men?" She joked as she cocked her head to the left letting her hair slide down her back. Perhaps one of the best thing about him doing the fighting was that she had not got blood in her hair, it took ages to wash that out.

[Tang Yin]

Tang Yin looks at the girl and listens to her talk. She seemed to be easy to read for him but not easy for most his talents as a strategist might be limited at the moment but he was still smart. Looking at the main that was still in the severe shock. Hearing a lot about the young lady that he rescued himself. He goes toward her and touches her with his left hand under her chin. He looked at her with his eye and knew that she was worried about something that he might be doing. She thinks that he was a simple minded warrior that rather see blood then politics.

“You should not make a decision on a person until you truly know them. I am not a simple warrior as you are most likely thinking my friend. I am a traveler that is looking for a home to go to in the future. I also know that you are wondering about me is my eyes and why I am here.” He is smiling and is not doing anything more to her the touch was most likely enough to make her hate him or accuse him of something that he was not.

He falls on his left knee that was getting tired after days of travelling he did not know why he was there at all the only thing that he knows was the reason that he left Luo Yang and why he never wants to return. The other thing is how much his life is starting to make him more depress missing his baby sister that he saw died from that sickness. “Honestly my eye is a disease that took it I needed to remove it before it gone in other places of my body and kills me like it did to my sister.” A tear falls down his cheek each time that he thinks about his dead sister.

“My lady my apologies but I must admit that you are quite an attractive women and that I know you are hiding your skills.” He could barely stand from exhaustion but he got up either way and wanted to continue but did not want to leave the lady behind. He admitted that he found her attractive but did not want to do anything else on that even do he wanted to ask her more he knew that she was way to up there that it would never be able to work. “Miss Ao Ai you should leave before the others arrive unless you really wish to fight a cart if it happens to be people that would want to harm you.”

Grabbing his sword he was trying not to fight any more but he did not wish to get her a chance to get hurt he was not going to let someone with so much importance. He knew and was obvious that he could barely stand from the kick in the gut with the fatigue that he was feeling for going so far in the past few days.

[Ao Ai]

Ao Ai startled a little when he touched her chin, then relaxed realizing it was an innocent enough gesture. A lot of people did that to her in fact, perhaps because she was short, even for a girl or perhaps it was just a way of showing affection. Either way she didn't really mind that much he didn't seem like he was going to hurt her. You could always tell from there eyes what they were going to do, one of her martial arts instructors had taught her that. Of course he had never given her any lesions about one eyed men.

"I'm sorry i didn't mean to misjudge you." She said gently as he explained himself. He was certainly bold and honest, perhaps straight forward but she was not stupid. She some times tend to assume all warriors were stupid since the vast majority certainly fitted that criteria. Still it was not fair to this man to make any assumptions, certainly not after he had done so much for them with no seeing thought of reward.

She smiled warmly when he admitted that he found her to be attractive. Like most women she appreciated such compliments, given how long she spent each morning on her appearance it certainly had better be worth it. She knew she was pretty but a little reassurance never hurt, she wasn't yet sure how she felt about him yet however. Her smile vanished however becoming quite fleeting when he said he knew she was 'hiding her skills'. It seemed he was wasn't just a simple man, in fact he was a very observant man to have picked up on that so quickly. The question became how to handle him now he knew, still he only seemed to know she was unusual not in what way yet? he could not know the half of it could he, like how she had two large knives strapped to her thighs under her skirt. She never liked to go anywhere unarmed.

"Why thank you kind sir." She said making a small curtsy, more simply because she kind and energetic than anything else. Also despite the fact he had began to suspect her she felt she owed him a large debt. Perhaps she even owed him the truth, however it was not something she would easily admit to. "Although it seems i have given too much away, i wont deny that i do have some skills of my own."

She quickly demonstrated these skills, getting one of her small arms around his as he sank to the ground. Perhaps demonstrating accidentally that her reflexes where far sharper than they had any right to be, if she was just a young noble women. She wasn't concerned about that, he was clearly weakened after his fight to save her, this was the least she could do in return. Although she didn't have the strength to pull him to his feet she helped lending him a little of her own strength.

Perhaps being noble he suggested she run away while he stayed to fight whoever might be coming. Likely more bandit coming to meet up with there dead friends. Well she had no intention of leaving him here all alone, he didn't look like he would last 5 seconds on his own.

"Don't be silly, you cant fight in this state. Lets head into a wood a little bit, then we can get a look at whoever is coming without them seeing us." Ao Ai suggested, trying to pull him along with her, although she very much doubted she would be able too. In her line of work sitting to the shadows came naturally, so it was no surprise she preferred this method. She never liked getting into direct fights, she could well lose them when everyone she was likely to face with a blade would probably be stronger than her.

[Tang Yin]

Tang Yin seeing that she did not want to leave him there alone but he rather she leaves to be in safety then stays even with her quickness and skills. He was a man of his word when he said he did not want her in harm there is a reason and he can read people like books. He got back up alone and goes toward the cart to get the maid that was still paralyzed from fear and takes her in the wood placing her close to a tree so no one could see her from the road if something happens.

The cart was way to close that they should know there is someone in the location by now. He signals Ao Ai to go in the wood with the maid giving her his bow and arrows. He then climb in the cart at the driver location sitting there hiding his weapon and everything. The carts were in fact bandits looking for their allies and stopped all of the sudden. There were ten of them getting out of the cart and that seem to be all and they examine the handy work.

“It seem that they meet with more than they could handle in there last battle. The things we heard that it was only a noble with no guards were wrong.” The Bandits were all looking at one man that was dressed differently and seem to have a two handed sword as his weapon instead of a regular one. The leader it seemed to be decided to go in front were he got struck and killed losing his head before even seeing what was in the location.

Yin gets off and looks at the other bandits that were driven in a panic seeing their leader being killed by the man that was hidden. They all started to run at him with their small swords swinging like crazy while Yin was fighting in defensive reflecting the blades but was obviously losing a lot of his energy and was killing one when he could find an opening and killed five of them until he could no longer really fight since one of the men hit him in the face hitting the location of his missing eyes just cutting his cheek while also cutting of his patch.

Yin grabs his sword and the sword of one of the dead bandit’s dual wielding it and goes insane. Yin was slicing through the enemy killing three of the others that were all cut in the peace the head, the torso and the legs were in different piles and the other two started running away from Yin as fast as they could while Yin fell on his knees holding the location of his missing eye and reattached the patch to make sure it won’t let her see it and scare the crap of the poor girl that went through hell already.

[Ao Ai]

Ao Ai followed along after him as best as she could. Her dress which was fine for the fancy balls and parties was not exactly practical for running, neither were her shoes for that matter. Feeling utterly useless like a butterfly caught in honey she did the best she could only just reaching the tree line as a cart full of bandits rolled down the path. With no time to catch her breath she threw herself behind the nearest tree, sinking down to its root as she sought out the patch of deepest shadow. This was far more like it, she was cloaked now in darkness for a change she felt like she had the power.

Li Mi sat next to her, the poor girls eyes wild with fright, she could barley move. Fortunately she had enough sense to keep quite, Ao Ai was glad she didn't have to slap her again. She didn't like hurting people and Li Mi was as innocent as they came, sadly that could be quite a disadvantage. What they needed now was someone like her. Now if only she could actually do something useful for a change. She looked down at the bow he had handed to her. "Great."

If she only had a set of her weighted throwing knives, she could kill a man with each shot from this distance. Even her daggers would be more useful, except that would prove to this man beyond a doubt what she really was. The question then was it worth keeping that secret if it would get him killed. She looked down at the bow, uneasily pulling it up and looking down the sights. Come on how hard could this really be to use. She decided to have a go with it, since Tang Yin seemed to be doing well enough even on his own.

"Wish me luck" She whispered to Li Mi as she set an arrow to the string, pulling it back as far as she was able too. She attempted to aim at one of the fleeing bandits, trying to hit in the back. Unfortunately she really had no idea what she was doing, she had enough problems just keeping it pointed in the general direction of the man. In the end having messed up her aim to all hell she released the shot. It flew true and straight, unfortunately she had been aiming all wrong, it shot right at Tang Yin. Right at his posterior.

A moment later on seeing the affect of her poor shot Ao Ai paled, even more so that normal if that was possible for someone who was such a night owl. Her jaw dropped and she suddenly felt immensely guilty for what she had just done. Dropping the bow she left Li Mi behind the tree and rushed over to Tang Yin. ooh he was never going to forgive her for this and after everything he had done, really sorry just didn't seem good enough.

"Oh my, are you OK? ooh of course you aren't you got shot....by me. I'm so so so very sorry i wasn't trying to hit you of course. I just....i sorta missed." Ao Ai called as she rushed over to his side to see if he was OK, or if there was anything she could do. She had really messed this one up good.

[Tang Yin]

Tang Yin pulls the arrow out and looked at Ao Ai shaking his head with a small smile almost laughing at her but kept silence on that point.” Next time use your own weapons.” He laughed while the pain might of ben there but he went through hell most of his life. “I know you have weapons on you and I know you have talents just thought I would let you think I did not know and that got me an arrow to my ass” He could not believe how bad her aim was. He could barely stand up from two things one was exhaustion and the obviously the pain.

“I know that you refused leaving twice please tell me you want to leave now though.” Dropping back on the floor that he could no longer stand up from both the pain and exhaustion but the pain was the one that was bringing him the most of the problems. He knew that there are still two of them that were running away in these times. Looking at Ao Ai hopping she was not thinking that he was there to hurt her after all he did to save her she could really not tell him he was useless.

Trying to get himself up Tang Yin grabbed by the carriage to get him up and looks toward the friend of Ao Ai not knowing where she was exactly but hope that she was alright. His cut on the face was still bleeding quite seriously making a small puddle of blood on the ground/ He placed his hand over the wound and trying to get from his bag bandages. Wrapping up the wound that went over his missing eye as well.

Tang Yin out of the pain that he is currently working through he started to walk towards the next city barely being able to keep himself on his feet. Trying to continue after taking his bow back from the lady placing it on his back trying to reach the next city but does not seem good for the young man that was not only in pain and not only exhausted but as well the weight of what he is currently carrying the weight. Almost falling face first on the ground two meters away from where he was with the girls he was just there the pain was too much for him and memories of his sister going through his head making tears fall down from his face.

[Ao Ai]

Ao Ai was freaking, she had shot someone. Well that wasn't exactly the problem, she had killed quite a few people in only the few years she had been practicing her death art. The thing was before now she had never really hurt anyone who did not deserve it. The magnitude of that was crushing down on her like a pile of bricks. The fact she was a terrible archer was not lost on either, under normal circumstances she would have been ashamed of that even if it had missed him. Worst he knew what she was, he had as good as admitted it, how she had no idea. Still that fact seemed inconsequential compared to the fact she had shot someone who was not only Innocent but had been trying to help her.

"I...Why didn't you say something?" She said clawing at her hair in frustration how silly was all of this. He had known but not wanted her to know, resulting in him getting shot. Really you just could not just make this stuff up. Her emotions ranged from panic, to guilt, to anger and amusement. She didn't know if she should laugh or cry, settling for a sob that was some where in between. As well he had a right too, he seemed to want her to leave him alone. She really could not blame him. However she felt a flare of her stubborn nature reassert itself, rushing over she tried to help him up from the ground where he had fallen.

"Oh no you don't. It's completely my fault that your in this state. Come with me back to my family estate, let me take care of you." She said knowing their family doctor would be able to sort him out far better than his own patch up. She was not going to let him go wondering off all alone only to bleed to death or die of exhaustion all alone. Not after all that had happened. She called Li Mi over, with the girls help pulling Tang Yin over to there carriage. She thought she could drive the thing and they were only a few miles away from her home. As long as nothing else went wrong. Besides it wasn't like Tang Yin was in any fit state to object.

Li Mi held open the carriage door. The plush interior would soon be stained with blood, she wasn't worried about that. The cost would be trifling compared to looking after someone who had done so much for her. When he was better they could talk about...things. She tried to get her arms around his waist and help lift him inside. "I promise no more arrows this time either."


Some time later

The carriage eventually arrived at her estate, several acres of land including a small forest and plenty of farm land, tended too by her father's workers. They waved as she went by but she was too busy to respond, just trying to keep the carriage on the road. Those damn bandit had killed her driver so it was all down to her now, fortunately it wasn't as hard as it looked. Carefully she guided the carriage up threw the main gates to the estate. Jumping down she spoke the the guards, who were concerned about how late she was getting back.

"We have an injured man inside, please send for the physician." She said, swiftly explaining the situation. The guards had seen this sort of thing before, Ao Ai was a kind soul and often brought in people for treatment. One of the guards went to find the doctor while the others carried Tang Yin inside. The estate having many spare bedrooms they carried him into one of those, although she directed them to put near her own room. She still felt terrible about what had happened. She followed close behind the guards hovering over Tang Yin.

"Please leave i, need to treat his injuries." The physician, an elderly healer said as he final entered the room. Not wanting to disturb him Ao Ai complied taking the guards with her. She sat down on a bench out side, nervously waiting to here how it turned out.

[Tang Yin]

Tang Yin wakes up while the man was starting to bandage him. He ignored the pain that was hitting while the guy was placing all the bandages. He was in the moment of pain and decided to let him finish while he did not know where the hell he was. The doctor of the region under the father of Ao Ai was finishing and told him to rest. Yin never enjoyed resting at one place when he does not know the location well enough to stay there when the man was done and was leaving he decided to start getting back up. He knew the doctor was not going to be happy with him but he was not comfortable there right then.

The doctor went towards Ao Ai and that just made him even worst in the sense of regret and confusion. He waits that the doctor was finish annoying her with the information of the stranger that she just met and bring to the hospital. Yin was more worried for one thing which is what will her father do when he finds out what happened out there was he going to be beheaded for helping his daughter by thinking that he was the man that organise the attack which he did not or the attack would have been successful compare the simple minded man that divided the plan of attack those bandits were executing.

The doctor was finally gone probably to treat his next patience that was injured in the region and hopefully not to tell the farther of Ao Ai that is the last person that Yin wants to meet up with at the moment. He walks toward Ao Ai seeing were she was sitting he decided to sit next to her while her guard friend decided to let him a small place to sit down since he knew that the man was injured and could not be more obviously friendly with the girl that he was there to protect.

“So my lady I see that you decided to bring me to the physician of your fathers instate.” He smiled softly not sure what he should do at the moment he was not the best person to talk with unless you wanted someone to tell you were to go on a map to execute a perfect attack plan for security of their own men while destroying the enemy’s men in the process. “My friend I wish to thank you for helping me as you did out there you had a choice to leave me to die or save me and you decided not to let me die. I am grateful.” He felt awful in a way that he got hurt and knew that she was most likely feeling horrible seeing him getting injured while he was fighting for her safety.

Yin looks at the guard that was just randomly there not saying a word but watching the man with his hand on the weapon that he is carrying even do that Yin was currently unarm letting his weapon in the location that he was treated with his armor and everything. He was away from the pain at the moment and now he needed to rest which was impossible for him to do not knowing where he was or if he was even in a safe location from bandits or even enemy kingdoms. For the first time in his life the fear of being lost was easy to see from his eyes. He was a man with great intelligent but for the location if he did not see where he was going or how long it took for them to reach their location he cannot know where he was location wise.

The only thing that he remembered was being in pain and they were going to the girls estate but were was the estate of her family that he does not really remember since he did not really take a mental note of that discussion for a reason or another he was not sure.
