Chapter II: Blind Beauty

The crisp mid morning air outside Alegasia did indeed do Durza good. A fall morning was always refreshing, and the farm lands were gorgeous. This was a rare feeling for the Shade. It seemed every time he had his dreams with the woman and the dragon he felt…at peace. He found tranquility for a moment as he sat atop his black horse. Gently riding up the rode towards the first field he closed his eyes for second. Then opened them to the sound of a woman’s voice.

When he opened his blue eyes,( I used the sexy Durza from the movie) there in the field was a young woman dressed in a simple black and white peasant’s gown, a young pretty face, brown chestnut eyes and long slightly wavy strawberry blonde hair.

. The kings men were giving her a hard time. The woman was on her knees upon the ground with her basket of carrots, her grip upon them tightened.” If you intend on steeling my carrots might I ask that you step away from my stick as well.” She requested. As her slender hand went for a long wood walking stick.

Durza took interest in this and leaned forward on his horse and decided to just watch. As the men chuckled and stepped a step towards her. Abruptly the young woman swept up her staff and slammed the first man in the face. Giving him a bloody nose. The woman stood up and swept it over to the side where the second man was. But the third one decided to sneak behind her and try to grab her from behind.

“ Bit of a rabid one aren’t you. ”The man mused as he kicked over her basket of carrots. Then grabbed her from behind. She writhed slightly. Dropping her staff.

But she still found her voice,” Pick those up.” She said firmly.

Chuckling, the man roughly forced her to face him, his hands gripping her shoulder slightly.” Hm.. for a country woman you are pretty.” With that he pushed her down. She called out slightly as her back hit the ground. At the same time the other men held both her arms down. Bleeding lips and noses with them.

Durza watched for but a moment longer and then decided to intervene. He was in a good mood after all,” Anthras, Nothem!” He called to the two holding her arms. Getting their attention. He continued,” Let go of her arms. “ His attention turned to the third man.” Get off her.” He ordered firmly, and they all did as told. They knew not to mess with the great Durza.

The shade dismounted his horse and approached them, as they approached him.” Move on to the next farm. I’ll deal with this one.” Durza muttered. The men did not argue and walked off. Durza shook his head and turned his attention to the young woman. She seemed to be looking with her hands for her basket.

“ I apologize for them.” He started, kneeling down to help her put the carrots back in the basket. When the woman looked towards him, he realized she was a blind woman, because her eyes were towards his shoulders. She was beautiful he realized this too.

“….you helped me.” The young woman mused.

“ Not really.”Durza said with a shrug,” I can see that you are blind milady.” He began.

The young woman smiled lightly,” It is apparent that I can’t put much passed you, sir.”

“ From a distance you appear to keep yourself well against thugs like the King’s men.” He said, handing her the basket as he finished helping pick them up, he took her hand and slid the handle of the basket around her slender wrist.” Thank you.” She said.” Who is this man who helped me against Galabtorix’s men?” She asked sitting comfortably upon the ground, she was close to Durza. He could smell her lavender scent. It was intoxicating.

He was reluctant at first,”…..Durza.” He said.

The young woman smiled reaching up, her soft hand touched his cheek, her other hand touched his lip for a moment, then let her hands feel his face for a moment, so she could see who he was.” So handsome, and you look kind. “ She said and ignored the rune carvings on his face. He froze up slightly, and knew he needed to know her name.

So he gingerly took both her hands into his and slowly lowered them from his face and rested them on her lap,” Your name, please. “

“ I was waiting for you to ask. My name is Silhouette. “

“Silhouette.” He repeated to himself.” Such a gorgeous name.” He muttered and leaned closer to her. Taking in her scent, savoring it.

“ What are you doing?” The young woman named Silhouette asked softly.

Immediately Durza drew himself back,” Nothing. Miss. Silhouette would you like to spend the day with me?” He asked. Surprised at himself. Why was he acting so nice? Had his senses taken leave?

She smiled lightly,” First I need to go and set the carrot’s in my grandmother’s barn, and check on something, then I would be happy to spend the day with you. Provided you can give me your word that you will not try to get into my loins. “

Durza chuckled,” Of course I swear it milady. You are completely safe with me.” He said and took her hands in his and helped her to stand. Handing her the walking stick Letting her wrap her hand around his arm. They made their way to the small barn near the little farm house.

Upon entering, Silhouette felt for a table by the door, where she set down the basket of carrots. Durza watched as she knelt down to the straw piled floor and set down her stick. She crawled on her hands and knees towards a blanket, she smiled upon reaching it. “ Whats under that?” The shade asked.

“ A stone of some sort. I found it a day ago.” Silhouette said, sliding out a large oval shaped stoned.

Durza’a eyes widened slightly, he quickly approached her, kneeling down beside her. Knowing full well that the stone was no stone. He touched it was his slender fingers .Then looked at her and smiled lightly,” It’s a lovely stone indeed…Silhouette.” He uttered.

“ I like how my name sounds rolling off your tongue.” She said with a light chuckle. There was a moment’s pause, then Silhouette tucked the stone away and turned to crawl over to her walking stick. Durza smirked and muttered a word . The walking stick moved right into Silhouette’s hands. She stopped and turned towards Durza,” What did you just do?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about milady. You are quick at getting your walking stick that’s all.”Durza said with an amused smile.

Silhouette chuckled,” Well I suppose I’ve my own sped for a blind woman.” She said and stood up, Durza walking to be by her side.” Before we set off, I need to go tell my grandmother where it is I am going.”

Durza nodded,” Alright.” Was all he said as he followed the young woman, walking towards a farm house. He noticed as she walked there were dents in the ground, leading a path towards the little house. He figured they were there to help her find her way to her house. He wanted to ask, but he didn’t for it may be mistaken as a silly question anyhow.

“ Grandmother.” Silhouette said out loud upon opening the door to the little home. There was a little old woman sitting in a chair, knitting something. She appeared frail. The home they walked into was tiny. A table, chair, fireplace, and a bed.

Durza glanced around at the little trinkets the old woman had above the fireplace, where a vat hung gently over. It amazed him that just two females. One blind, and the other frail and old could tend such a lovely little farm.

The old woman’s voice forced Durza’s eyes towards the chair,” Silhouette your back already.” She mused. Weakly standing from her little chair. She grabbed her cane and slowly made her way over to the Shade and the blind young woman.

“ Grandmother, this is my new friend Durza.” Silhouette began, introducing the two. Friend? Durza had never heard someone call him that before. His blue eyes glanced at the young woman. As she continued to speak to her grandmother,” Durza and myself are going to spend the day together. If that is alright?”

The grandmother looked at Durza for a moment. Then to Silhouette,” Have you finished your chores?”

“ I have. I’ve been awake for a while now. So can I go for a few hours, please?”

Durza noticed a look of discomfort in the old woman’s eyes and decided to put her at ease. “ I promise to have your grand daughter back before sundown, if not sooner.” He assured.

The grandmother nodded,” Very well, please take good care of her for me.” She requested and took her grand daughter’s hand, muttering,” Please be careful Silhouette.”

Silhouette smiled and leaned her head towards her grandmother,” I’ll be fine.” She whispered and brushed her lips against her old, wrinkled cheek. Durza the whole time watched and realized how close they were. Perhaps this was the only family the young girl had. So, Durza knew he could not go back on his words. He would therefore bring Silhouette back when he promised.
