7 A Twisted Turn.

Still early in the morning, both Mora and Shaman are both walking to the waterfall with gear that would last 3 days in battle. "Are we there yet? This is taking way too long." Mora complained. Shaman kept walking and didn't say a word. The long grass starts to make Mora leg itch. "Augh! This is so annoying, you said it was close by." Mora complained once again. Shaman still didn't say anything ignoring all of Mora's complaints. A Leaf from a tree smacked Mora in the face which later would leave a rash. Shaman coughed a few times to cover up his laugh. "I'm not stupid and you're not funny." Shaman still didn't reply back. Mora looked over at him. "Are you gonna at least help me?" Shaman stayed quiet, still walking forward. Mora stopped and started to grab herbs she saw familiar to her. Shaman looked back to see she dropped all the weapons he forced her to carry. He sighed, "What are you doing?" Mora looked up as she was grinding the herbs together. "What do you think? I'm surviving." She answered him. She dipped three fingers in the mixture and rubbed in on the rash that became visible. Shaman waited till she was done. "Alright, lets go now." He demanded. Mora looked up. "You're telling me what to do now?" She asked as she rose off the ground and picked all the weapons off the ground, rolling her eyes. "Well of course, princess." He answered. Mora got annoyed. "What's with all the nicknames. Just stick with Mora." she said, but this time Shaman didn't reply. They kept walking for another 20 minutes. Mora noticed they were going in circles. "Why are we going in circles? Are we lost?" She asked him. Shaman didn't say anything. Soon they made it to the waterfall.

The grass was short and green, the water clear and soothing, the wild animals calm and quiet. It's a place you would dream of going. A place you could easily fall asleep. The trees surrounding the Peaceful place made it look more homey. Mora eyes widen. "This is beautiful! Did you choose this place for me?" Mora asked him, amazed. Shaman grinned. "Calm down sweet cakes. We're here only for training so don't get any dirty ideas." He said teasing her. Mora cheeks turned red like a cherry. Shaman laughed. Mora looked at him and frowned. "Don't be dumb, just train me already." Shaman took rope off her back. "Go set the rest over there, you can keep one weapon. I suggest you be smart about it." He told her. Mora looked at him with suspicion. "What's the rope for? Are you planning on choking me?" Mora asked as she walked away to set the weapons down. Shaman started wrapping the rope around his hand in front of the river stream. "What type of kinky stuff are you into?" He asked with a laughing tone in his voice. "Ugh, I swear to the goblins I will hurt you!" She yelled at him. Shaman laughed again.

"First things first, Swim up the waterfall." He told her. Mora turned her head sharp from the weapons. "What? How the hell am I supposed to swim UP a waterfall?!" She asked. Shaman sat down. "Here the rope." He said to her. Mora got a little angry. "This is gonna be difficult." She said as she snatched the rope from his hand. "Can you at least give me a hint? I could really use it." She told him. Shaman said nothing and crossed his leg, but made it look more masculine. "Ugh, not this again." She said. She threw the rope to where it would be stuck at the top of the waterfall and looked at Shaman. He smiled and nodded his head. Mora wrapped the rope around her waist and pulled on it to make sure it was steady and could hold her. "Even if it doesn't hold me, I'll just use magic." She said. Shaman looked at her. "Sorry, no magic allowed." Mora eyes widen "Seriously!? No magic?!" She deplored. She didn't want to get upset or angry, so she took a deep breath.

Mora walked over to the front of the waterfall, she took her shoes off along with her pants and shirt. Shaman eyes widen. "Do you have to undress?" Shaman quered. Mora didn't look towards his way. I honestly don't want to hear you complaining. She hread in the lake and looked up. The waterfall was a long way up and the water was coming down heavy and faster than a cheetah hunting its prey. Mora ran into the water fall and started swimming up. She tried numerous times and failed each one. Shaman sat and examined all of her techniques. After a long time, Mora finally gave up. "Can you please help me?" She asked him. "I don't even understand what this has to do with getting stronger." Mora complained. "Fine, I'll help you, but only because you begged."

"Where the hell is she? Mora never wakes up on her own." Eik questioned himself. He left Mora's room and went to her father. "Do you know where Mora is?" He asked her father. He looked up at him from looking at his hand. "She went to the waterfall with ShAmAn." He said, making fun of Shamons name.. Eik went into a bombshell knowing she went alone with him. He ran out the house and started running towards the waterfall. He's ignoring everything around him. Grass smacking his legs, getting hit in the face with leaves, vines and dust in his hair, but all of it didn't matter, He was focused on Mora and Mora only. He made it to the waterfall and slowly looked to see if Mora was okay, but there he saw…

~~~~~

"Just shush and help me." She ordered. Shaman laughed. "To start from the basics, move your arm like this. He showed her an arm motion to where it looked like he was swimming on air. He raised his hands up in the air and then halfway down stretched out. Mora tried to mock it, but didn't do it correctly. Shaman laughed. "No, like this." He placed his huge hands on her arms and raised them in the air. He then glided his hands to touch hers and slowly brought her arms out. "Just like that." Shaman demonstrated. Mora didn't say anything. "Next is your hips, move them like you're twisting them, that's the easiest. He demonstrated the movements. Mora tried and got it correct. Shaman smiled, "Looks like you're a natural, but you were doing it too hard. Try relaxing." Shaman got behind her and held his hands on her waist. He then started to move them in a twist motion. He smiled and let her hips go, just like that. Mora keeps moving them and Shaman bags up.

"M-Mora, where's your clothes?!" Eik question. Mora flinched to Eiks' voice. "Oh, hey Eik." Mora said quietly, almost impossible to hear. "What the hell did he do to you?" Eik asked with aggression. "Calm down, I didn't do anything." Shaman said. Eik got angry. "I'm not buying that bullshit, stay the hell away from Mora." Eik yelled as he put his capote on her. Mora looked at Eik, she had never seen him so mad before. "Eik, what's up with you?" Mora asked him, full of worry. Eik didn't look at Mora due to the respect he has.

"Mora doesn't belong to anyone but me and that's final." Eik stated. Mora became surprised by those words. His head turned sharp to Eik. "What do you mean I belong to you?!" Mora asked. Shaman whistled. "She isn't an object, you know." Mora looked at Shaman. "He's right.." Mora agreeed with Shaman, but Eik wasn't gonna let Shaman get in his way of loving Mora. "Mora, I'm in love with you, I've been in love with you since the day I saw you all those years ago. Please, will you be mine..?" Mora was speechless. Shaman was surprised that he had the guts to even say that. "Eik I…."

POW! POW! POW!

Mora's eyes widened as Eik fell on top of Mora bleeding.
