43 These Aren't For Sale

I sensed a hesitation in her. Of course she had to feel that way. I knew how hard it was to achieve the ultimate goal she had in her mind.

"I'll need more than just words to prove your worth to me," her voice came as if she had a plan for the two of us. "See you later."

My sword hit the ground before I felt like something melted away. I wasn't seeing things but my shadow vibrated for a second before it turned a little pale. My spear lost any contact with her body, while I turned around to check if she used any sort of a gear or a hidden technique I didn't know about to escape.

"Just remember," before I could check all around, her voice came and this time it was from one direction, the sky. "I'll be at the first golden quest. If I didn't find you there, then forget about this deal between us."

*Woosh!*
