More difficult

"Every single time I see these two my heart sinks and flutters at the same time" said Delora as she kicked her feet up in the air as she sat on a couch.

"You should stop watching them then, it is bad for you" replied Cleora.

"But I cannot, their love is so pure, and yet they have so many things separating them, it is so heart breaking" said Delora as she sighed.

"Well you have no heart so there is nothing to be broken" said Cleora.

"How can you be so heartless Cleora?" asked Delora as she looked at Cleora in shock.

"Because I have no heart, same as you, have you forgotten who you are? Who we are?" asked Cleora as he looked at Delora as she scoffed.

"But you cannot be like that, it is so unfair for those two" said Delora.

"Just stop getting too involved in the matter of mortals, if you want to remain where you are" said Cleora as she scoffed.

"Can you please stop that? Stop this, you are being unfair" said Delora.

"You know who will not be unfair? Elvira when she finds out that instead of carrying on with your duties, you are sympathising with the mortals" said Cleora.

"Whatever" said Delora as she scoffed.

"Why do you always have to threaten me by reporting me to Elvira?" asked Delora with a scoff.

"Because she is the only one who can control your mischievous spirit" said Cleora as Delora just scoffed at her.

"Regardless, I admire Wura's bravery, but she should learn to be a little bit meaner, state her claim on her husband, I believe that she is too soft" said Delora.

"I did not ask you to define her character Delora" said Cleora as Delora just smiled at her.

"But I know that you want to know" said Delora as she smiled.

"Enough of this, have you done what you are supposed to do?" asked Cleora in a very serious tone.

"Yes, I did, I casted the enchantment on Liam again" said Delora.

"Good" said Cleora with a smile.

"Yes, although, I have to add that it was more difficult than last time, I think that the closeness of Wura is awakening something, it is messing with my powers" said Delora.

"What did you do?" asked Cleora.

"I increased the enchantment by two times" said Delora.

"Good, and I also want you to increase the dreams that he has, make sure that they are very vivid" said Cleora.

"Alright, I will do that, but I warn you that the closer Wura stays to him, the less I will be able to manipulate these things" said Delora seriously.

"I doubt that she would stay any closer to him, just so as I say" said Cleora.

"Alright Cleora" said Delora as she nodded her head.

"Good" said Cleora as she walked away, mortals were always so very annoying to deal with.

"Well sorry Wura, but I have to carry out my orders" said Delora to herself as she sighed.

…

The next morning.

"I think that the horses are tired" said Liam as he turned to look at Wura.

"Are you sure? Because I cannot see it?" asked Wura as she looked at him.

"I can tell because my horse has been less active than he used to be, it would seem that he did not sleep during the night" said Liam as he patted his horse.

"Poor horses, I could not sleep as well" said Wura as she laughed and Liam laughed, that made the two of them.

"Then what do you suggest? I do not want the horses to get ill from being overworked" said Wura.

"Well according to the map there is a town nearby, I think that we should stop there for today so the horses can rest" said Liam as he looked at the map.

"Oh alright, I agree with you" said Wura as she smiled and she nodded.

"Alright then, we will go there" said Liam with a smile.

"Do you think that there will be any chance that we will find the others there?" asked Wura.

"Highly unlikely, there are three different paths to follow to the first city, and we happened to follow one of them, and the others went in the opposite direction, I doubt that we would find them there" said Liam.

"Alright then" said Wura as she smiled she was actually happy that they would be stopping for a while, that way she could got to the market and get some things.

"When we reach the town, can we stop by the market?" asked Wura.

"Sure" said Liam as he smiled and Wura smiled at him.

…

"Do you want me to go with you?" asked Liam as Wura got off her horse.

"No it is not necessary, and if you go with me, who will watch after the horses?" asked Wura as she turned to look at Liam.

"I can tie them to that post over there, and I doubt that people steal horses here, it is too crowded" said Liam as he smiled.

"Well alright, if you say so" said Wura as she smiled and Liam smiled as he got off his horse and he walked to Wura's horse as he tied them to a wooden post right outside the market's gates.

"There" said Liam as he finished tying the horses as he smiled and Wura smiled at him as she put on the hood of her cloak as Liam looked at her with a question filled gaze.

"Just as a precaution, you never know what can happen" replied Wura as Liam nodded in understanding he did agree with her, so he put on the hood of his own cloak as well as they both walked into the market.

"So what are you looking for exactly?" asked Liam as he and Wura walked together.

"Well mostly vegetables, so I can make some pottage" said Wura.

"That sounds nice" said Liam as he smiled.

"Yes" said Wura as she walked past the many stalls.

"What is your favourite colour Lily" said Liam as he smiled.

"Oh, yellow" replied Wura.

"You like yellow?" asked Liam.

"Yes, I love yellow, it is a wonderful colour, the colour of the sun" said Wura as she smiled.

"That sounds nice" said Liam as he smiled.

"Yes, and what is your favourite colour?" asked Liam as he smiled.

"Well I cannot really remember which colour I liked" said Liam.

"So if you would allow me to borrow your favourite colour?" asked Liam as he laughed and Wura laughed at him as she shook her head.

"Oh you are so silly Liam" said Wura as she laughed.

"But who am I to stop you? Of course you can, it is your choice after all" said Wura as she laughed.

"Thank you Lily, I guess now we have the same favourite colour" said Liam as he smiled.

"Yes, I guess so as well" said Wura as she smiled, she loved him so much when he was like this, so sweet, so nice and easy to talk to.

"Oh over there that stall has some vegetables" said Wura as she pointed ahead.

"You can go ahead, I saw something that I want to buy" said Liam.

"Oh alright then" said Wura as she smiled.

"We can meet back at the horses, will you be alright alone?" asked Liam as he smiled.

"I will be fine, you can go, I will meet you back at the horses" said Wura as she smiled.

"Alright then, see you" said Liam as he smiled and Wura smiled at him as he walked in the opposite direction and Wura walked to the stall filled with different vegetables as she saw an elderly woman there.

Wura greeted the elderly woman as she spoke to her and she bought what she needed as she decided to buy something else, and before long she returned back to the horses as she saw Liam standing next to the horses as he waved to her and she smiled.

"Did you get everything that you need?" asked Liam as he smiled.

"Yes I did" said Wura as she smiled.

"And did you get what you wanted to buy?" asked Wura as she smiled.

"Yes I did" replied Liam with a smile.

"What was it?" asked Wura out of curiosity.

"It is a secret" said Liam.

"A secret?" asked Wura.

"Yes" said Liam as he nodded and Wura wondered just what he was talking about, which secret?

"You are not going to tell me what it is?" asked Wura.

"No, not yet" said Liam as Wura did not know whether to feel offended or if she had any right to be offended.

"Well alright then" said Wura as she did not want to keep on standing here.

Liam just smiled as he took the leather bag from her and he hooked it to his horse as he untied both horses and Wura got on her horse as Liam did the same and they started to ride.

"We have to find an inn to stay in for the night" said Liam as he looked at Wura.

"Alright" said Wura as she nodded her head and she followed after Liam.

…

"Alright, I got us two rooms, one for you, and one for me" said Liam as he smiled and he walked to Wura.

"Thank you" said Wura as she smiled.

"Did you ask the innkeeper if I could use his kitchen?" asked Wura as she smiled.

"Yes I did, and he said that you could" said Liam as he smiled.

"Alright then" said Wura as she smiled at him.

…

Wura smiled as she was alone with her thoughts in the kitchen, when she heard footsteps behind her.

"Do you want any help Lily?" asked Liam as he smiled and Wura turned to look at him.

"Ahh well not really, I am fine, I only have to chop some vegetables" said Wura as she replied.

"But I can help you" said Liam as Wura did not think that was a good idea, she did not think that Liam was very good in the kitchen.

"Let me do something, I do not like watching you do everything" said Liam as Wura sighed.

"Alright then, you can help me chop the vegetables" said Wura as she smiled.

"Alright" said Liam as he smiled and he walked to the chopping board as he started to chop the vegetables and he did not even chop one leaf of lettuce when he accidentally grazed his finger and he hissed in pain.

"What happened?" asked Wura as she rushed to Liam in worry.

"I just grazed my finger a bit" said Liam as he held his finger in his hand.

"Oh let me see, I told you that I was fine, now look, you cut your finger" said Wura as out of instinct she put Liam's finger in her mouth as she licked it, that was what she did to herself whenever she cut herself.

"I did not know that I was not skilled with a sword" said Liam as he laughed and Wura laughed as she shook her head.

"You are silly, what if you hurt yourself more than this little cut?" asked Wura as she laughed, she could still remember when Liam sent away all the maids and guards in the castle in Cornwalk and he offered to help her cook, and he also ended up cutting himself, he was just so silly.

"I do not think that knives are for me" said Liam as he laughed.

"Mhmm, the kitchen is not for you, just go away please, before you hurt yourself again" said Wura in a commanding tone as she smiled.

"Alright, alright, I will leave you alone to cook" said Liam as he laughed.

"Thank you" said Wura with a smile as Liam walked away and she sighed as she shook her head, he was still Liam, her Liam, the one she loved so much.
