Chapter 6: Tales of the Enchantress
"Excuse me, are you lost?"
Heero turned so fast he almost lost his balance as he heard the voice. He quickly dismissed the whole "girl dream" and faced the old man behind him. But still, those were the exact words she had said. "What did you say?"
The man sighed almost in annoyance and clucked something about 'kids these days' than leaned in closer and spoke louder as if it would make Heero hear him better. "I said `are you lost`?"
Heero dropped to a tree stump that was behind him. The old man gave a slightly knowing smile as he watched. "Yeah, and it looks like I will be for a while."
The man blinked. Heero wondered why. He didn`t know him. "Hmmm, girl trouble?"
Heero nodded. Maybe this man could help. He had never been down this avinue of understanding girls so he needed training. "You could say that. Ala just left me here. She looked so mad and I don`t know why but it didn`t make scense."
The man smiled as he sat down, his face stretched to it`s limit. "Yeah that`s Ala."
Heero shot him a sideways glance. "You know her?"
The old man regarded him with surprise. "Well everyone here does. Every man in the villiage is in love with her. She`s an enchantress. Briton was tormenting us once and she came by. He stopped picking on us and ran to her. She suduced him into believeing one day she would marry him. The problem is that he`s evil and so he became obsessed with her. He`s been so close so many times but she tricks him."
Heero rememebered the fury in her eyes, the saddness, everything about her. "How did she get to be like this?"
The old man sighed. "Her mother was a enchantress as well. Everyone figured that if the mother was one the daughter would be too. She was a pretty little thing but no one wanted anything to do with her. People shunned her. The mother wouldn`t take this. She cast a spell on the little thing making it so that she would never fall in love unless someone with special power came but everyone would fall in love with her. That poor girl. She loved the people. She used to play in the fields with children but now she stays in that little hut away from people."
Heero stood up knowing what he had to do to get her to help him. "This explains a lot, thanks." He decided to try to rehurse something so he didn`t feel like he was asking for help. Maybe just coaxing it out would work.
