"Haa...."
"....I can't see shit...."
"No shit Fleur, your eyes."
"....."
Fleur couldn't believe what has happened to her, an skillful elven archer now lost her sights. Her silence was already an example of her rising hatred and despair. Hideoyoshi carried her on a raining day. It felt like all hope was lost for them. He'd find a cave and entered it.
"Can you cast magic?"
"No.."
"Then great..."
He'd take Fleur's dagger and grabbed a rock, he then realized his arm was caught off and find it difficult to light a fire with one hand. He threw the rock in anger and sigh in disappointment.
"It's an honor adventuring with you Fleur..."
"Hah. Don't jinx it."
"I hope.."
He'd close his eyes accepting and finally giving up.
Time passes....
It was already night and it was cold.
"H-Hideo?"
There was no response, Fleur could only communicate with sound and Hideoyoshi didn't reply to her.
"Hideoyoshi?"
She called for his name...still no reply. She crawled around the cave, using her sense of touch.
"Hideo....Hideo...HIDEO!"
In her scared voice, she kept calling for Hideoyoshi. She felt a liquid on the ground. There she realized it. She clenched her fist and tried to find a way to get out of the cave.
"Haa..."
She kept walking, wandering not even knowing where she's going. There she tripped over by something. She feels the touch of grass, there she could only describe through her mind where she is, she'd stand and takes a step. There she fell, not knowing it was a cliff. There on the ground with a broken leg, bruised and scathed body. She continues to move by crawling, crawling, and crawling, and crawling, and crawling till she didn't even realize she has passed out.
Another day passes by....
"Requis! The cows are on the loose again!"
"Ugh...urgh....Yeah! Coming!"
A boy woke up from the sound of the shout. His hair was messy and his eyes were still closed. He'd get dress before leaving his room to fetch the cows.
There goes another sunny day for him, he'd turn his gaze to the unorganized herd.
"*Sigh*. Why do they have to this everyday."
He'd whistle signaling the herd. As he kept leading the herd to the barn, he'd saw one of the cow wander into the forest.
"*Sigh*. Great... Ma! One of the cows wander into the forest! Can you get my axe please!"
The howl of the cow could be heard from the forest, as if it sounded hurt. Requis' mother ran up towards him with an axe
"Requis! what the hell was that!?"
He'd take the axe from her.
"I dunno ma but get inside the house!"
"What!? Requis don't--"
He'd ran off to the forest to check on the cow
"Requis!!"
He finally entered the forest and not noticing the broken branches along his way. He'd kept running towards to cow's howl while carrying an axe. He'd saw an figure for a bit before it disappeared, Requis felt something was wrong and began to walk slowly... slowly till he'd brush down a bush. There he see the abandoned and injured Fleur eating the cow raw.
"What the f---"
"Huh!?"
She'd stumble down on the ground and starts slashing her handmade dagger everywhere as she crawls backwards.
"S-S-Stand back! Don't even think of getting near me!"
"Miss?"
"I-I said *sob* don't come near me!"
Requis approached the blind Fleur slowly and would try to take the dagger away but ultimately he'd get a cut from her.
"Augh!"
"Waah! I s-said stay back okay!?"
"Miss let me help.."
"I said---"
Fleurr distracted was caught off guard as she felt something grab her arm. It was Requis and he'd restrain and took away the dagger from her carefully.
"Augh! Stay away please! Let me go!"
"Ma'am! Your arm!"
"Ah..."
She'd felt a cloth wrapped around her along with her broken leg. There she realized he was making a splint for her.
"And giddy..Up!"
"Wah!"
"*Sigh* Adventurers.. sometimes they get Hopeless..."
"What are--"
"Don't be afraid, you manage to stumble near my farm miss elf."
"What!?"
"Don't worry, Ma will patch you up and you can rest there so we can get the imperial get you."
"I..why..."
Fleur's stomach would growl.
"When did you last eat?"
"..."
"Well nevermind I guess..."
