"Thanks." I pull Xavier's sword sharpener. 

"It is a pleasure; we owe you and the brotherhood our thanks." Xavier says.

"You do realize we were enslaved by the Moon Stone, right?" I ask.

"But you quickly came out of it." He says. 

I roll my eyes. I start spinning the sword sharpener. Ibis puts his horn onto it. He growls with glee. For some reason he enjoys this feeling. I have no clue why. Anubis growls at me. He pecks my boot. I pull out a dry piece of salty meat and he throws it to me, 

"This will take a while." I say to Xavier. 

"It's alright, would you like to hear a legend?" Xavier asks.

"I'll pass." I draw back.

I can feel him staring at me. Why is he staring at me? I look back at him.

"What?" I ask.

"Your eyes." He says.

"What's wrong with them?" I ask.

"They remind me of ancient forest spirit, Althael." He says.

I wince at his very name. A name I had long hated. A name that shouldn't even exist. A bunch of memories flash in my mind. Ones I wish to burry. I glare at Xavier. 

"He doesn't exist." I hiss. 

"You look a little like him." Xavier says.

I take out my sword and I throw it at him. It comes to his neck.

"Never ever, say that again. If you ever do, I'll kill you." I hiss. 

I turn from him. I grab Ibis' saddle.
