The Flame and the Disloyal One.

Two weeks have gone by since Alaric.

During the two weeks, Connla did his best to become friends with Asia, Hadil, Aaqil and Baibars but let us just say that the results could have been better.

Oh, and during this time, Anna found out that Connla and see and hear Aziza and Gun Ana.

" I can't believe that I was looked in the dungeon for three days, just because I tried to make friends with the sultan " said Connla.

" Yeah, it seems that the relationship between you and the sultan is strictly business " said Azi.

" And why did your friends throw plates at me when I tried to talk to the three of you when you were at the bakery that one time. Why did they not throw their cakes at me? " said Connla.

" Well, as they said, they did not want to waste good cake on you " said Anna.

" Fair enough, that cake is surprisingly good " said Connla.

" So Anna, why are we on the training field near the inner castle within the kingdom, could we not at least go to the garden " said Azi.

" Later, for now, I want to see what Connla is made off " said Anna.

" Oh, are you challenging me? " said Connla.

" Well, do you think you can beat me " said Anna with a smug smile.

Connla was shocked and surprised.

" I must say, that this kind of behavior is unbecoming of a Saint " said Connla with a smug expression.

" As I said, I do not see myself as a Saint but let us see what you got " said Anna.

Anna and Connla readied themselves with their respected weapons but that was when someone from the shadows walked towards Anna and Connla.

" Who the hell is that?! " said Azi.

" Marcus Calpurnius Flamma the syrian gladiator. He is a well-known gladiator from Rome, it is said that Flamma lived 30 years, fought 34 times, won 21 times, fought to a drew 9 times, defeated 4 times. Flamma won his freedom in the colosseum but he stayed, because he loved fighting that much " said Ana.

" Wow, he sounds like a badass " said Azi.

Anna and Connla both looked at Flamma.

Flamma (a warrior who lived only to fight) looked at Anna and Connla but before Anna and Connla could say anything, another being walked out from the shadows.

" Oh great, who the hell is that?! " said Azi

" Lü Bu, he is a man known for only two things, first, he loved fighting, and second, he was very disloyal " said Ana.

" So the only thing that Flamma and Lü Bu have in common is the fact that they love fighting " said Azi.

" It seems so " said Ana.

Both Anna and Connla looked at the legendary warriors.

" So, how do you want to do this? " said Connla.

" You take Flamma and I will take Lü Bu " said Anna.

" Very well, lady Saint " said Connla.

" What did you call me? " said Anna.

" Nothing " said Connla.

Anna walked over to Lü Bu and Connla walked over to Flamma.

All four fighters were now facing each other.

All four warriors introduced themselves to each other and then the fighting began.

The battles lasted for hours.

Each warrior enjoying themselves to the fullest.

" Wow, they look like they are having a lot of fun, despite the fact that they are trying to kill each other " said Azi.

After awhile, the battles were finally over and both Anna and Connla were victories.

Flamma and Lü Bu disappeared with smiles on their faces.

Anna wiped some sweat of her forehead.

" Are you already tired? " said Connla.

Anna looked at Connla who was also covered in sweat.

" Not by a long shot " said Anna with a smile.

Connla smiled as well.

Anna and Connla then started to battle each other till the full moon could be seen.

" Where the hell do they get all that stamina from? " said Azi.

Afterwards, when the full moon could be seen on the sky.

Connla could be seen on the ground asleep.

" It seems that I won " said Anna but then Anna heard a familiar voice from behind her.

" And it seems that you have made a new friend " said the voice.

The light from the full moon now shined down on the person and Anna could clearly see who that person was.

" Veles " said Anna.

" Greetings, Saint Anna " said Veles.

" What is it that you want here? " said Anna.

" I do remember already telling you that " said Veles.

Anna's eyes glowed.

" But do not worry, I am not here to personlig attack you or the kingdom you hold so dear " said Veles.

Anna's eyes stopped glowing.

" Then why are you here? " said Anna.

" I am here to tell you that I will be going away for awhile " said Veles.

" And here I was hoping that you would go away forever " said Anna with a smile.

" Sorry to disappoint you " said Veles with a smug smile.

Anna and Veles just looked at each other.

Veles then started to walk away.

" Why are you leaving? " said Anna.

" I need to find myself, so I am going deep within mother nature to find myself " said Veles.

Veles then disappeared and all Anna had to say was

" May you find what you are looking for "
