Chapter IV: The Sick Gesture.

The afternoon found Durza and Silhouette at a sparkling creek. Genge stood grazing near the bank. While Durza sat with Silhouette upon a fallen log over the trickling creek water. The Shade was staring straight ahead admiring the brown leaves from the oak trees falling into the water. His left arm rested comfortably under the elbow if his right arm, leaving the index finger on his right hand arched beside his lips. He merely stared, admiring the beauty within these woods long forgotten to him. The days when he’d sit as he was now beside another woman of shear beauty. The days before the wall in his heart covered up what was left of his humanity.

Durza’s head moved to stare down at the water. His eyes closing he could picture her now….a woman with long jet black hair and green eyes. She too was young as he was at the time. Durza would sit with her upon the bank of a creek with her in his arms. Her warm body pressed against his. ‘ Saluna.’ Durza mouthed soundlessly before opening his eyes again. Glancing at Silhouette as the young woman dipped her bare feet into the moving cool waters.

“Winter is closer then I thought.” Silhouette began.” I can already feel its harsh chill run down my spine.” She commented then turned her gaze towards Durza.” You are quiet. Are you alright?”

“Yes thank you….I was just lost in the beauty the forest had to offer.” He said, moving his arms and hands. His palms now pressed against the log. Shoulders arched up as he stared into the water again.

Silhouette nodded in agreement,” I know, the forest is beautiful. Though I can not see with my eyes, I can most definitely see with my hands. “She stated,” I come here a lot. “ Durza glanced over at her from where his head leaned down towards the water. His hair hung slightly in his face.

“Do you ever wonder what it would be like to see with your eyes?” Durza asked, tilting his head up straight, his crimson hair now hanging at his shoulders again.

It took Silhouette moments to respond. But she did none the less.” I heard that beyond the beauty of the woods and farm lands. There is a world of fear and bloodshed brought on by the tyrant that now rules these lands. Whenever grandmother and I go into the market of Alegesia I hear women scream for their sons as they are taken from their homes and forced into the army. The girls are ravaged by the king’s guards. People do nothing to help them. “She paused in her explanation.

Durza scooted closer to her and his face close to hers. She could feel it too. But continued to speak,” In the castle of the king I hear there is a powerful man, who is not a man a beast. He is a Shade a creature that can tear an innocent man apart without reason. Rob a mother of her child and murder it in front of her. Then kill her. I’ve heard of so much ugliness beyond the country side. I’d rather not witness any of it.” She finished.

As Durza heard what rumors were told about him, he himself felt disgusted by it. Most of it was not true. The only time he wanted to murder a child was for the power it held within. The one he himself blinded. Abruptly before his mind could go any further he felt a powerful presence within the woods, an echoing voice from the trees .”Destiny.” The voice whispered though the trees.

As Durza’s gaze searched the trees, that one sorcerer stood there between two trees the one who showed him a glimpse of what it was to love again. ‘What do you want?’ his mind said curtly as the voice in his head tapped into hers.

‘Nothing, I was wondering through the woods and happened to see you with a woman.’ Her mind said as she smirked.

‘ So!?’ His mind hissed.

‘So quick to open up to one you know nothing of Durza. How amusing.’

Durza still stared at her from where he sat upon the log, his eyebrows soon lowered in anger.’ Leave me be’ With that Durza cut the connection as the sorcerer woman took off through the woods.

“Are you ready to leave?” Silhouette asked, bringing Durza’s eyes back to her.

“ If you are.”

Silhouette nodded and smiled, she moved to crawl back towards Genge, but Durza touched her hand,” Allow me.” With that Durza helped her stand and assisted her to his horse, again helping her up.

“You really do not need to help me.”

Durza ignored her for a moment and grabbed the reins, beginning to pull Genge behind him. It was then when he responded,” I know….but I am like you said, your friend.” He said bringing a chuckle out of the naïve girl.

Again there’s that silence between them, just the sound of the light breeze and dimming creek flowing water. This was an uneasy silence Again Durza had to try and break it as they went through the woods.” So is it just you and your Grandmother living on that little farm?”

Silhouette leaned against Genge and nodded,” Unfortunately it is. I would be with my mother but….she…she died.”

“ Do you know how she died?”

The young woman shook her head,” Why do you want to know?”

Durza continued to walk ahead and thought for a moment, then realized what was there to think about?” I was merely trying to make conversation, forgive me. “

“Its okay it is just….well I did not see what happened but I remember hearing her scream as if she was murdered. “ Silhouette explained.

“ That’s unfortunate I am sorry.”

“ Why are you sorry I’m pretty sure that you did nothing.” Silhouette said with a chuckle. She stopped when she heard Durza’s stomach growl.” Are you hungry?”

“ A little. That’s why from here we are going to Alegesia.” Durza said as they reached a dirt rode. There, Durza moved the reins and moved to stand along side the horse,” I’m going to be mounting, so please don’t be alarmed. “ He explained staring up at her. She nodded and scooted herself back until she felt her back bump against the back of the saddle. Durza smiled and mounted. Holding the reins tightly, before clicking his heals into Genge, he turned his head towards his shoulder,” Silhouette you might want to wrap your hands around my waist. “ No questions Silhouette did, and Durza slammed his heals into the horse. Quickly Genge took off down the road.

Silhouette screamed out loud and buried her head into Durza’s cloak, her grip around his waist tightened. This brought a chuckle out of Durza, amused by her shock and fear. “ It’s not as bad as you think!” He called back to her.

“ Bull its not! If I loosen my grip I will most likely fall off!” She responded.

“ Do you want me to slow down is that what you’re trying to say?” He shouted back.

“ Please do!”

“ For a price milady!”

“Dare I ask what is it that you want?! ”Silhouette shouted having a bad feeling on what it could be he would request from her, he was after all a man. And men are all the same to her.

“You really want to know what I want from you!?”

“I suppose! What?”

Without words he took her hands in his one free hand and moved them close between his legs.

”NO! Stop the horse now!” Silhouette called out.

Durza realized what he was doing and pulled his horse to a halt. And glanced back at Silhouette,” Whats wrong?” He asked her.

“A demon that’s what you are!” Silhouette shouted, sliding off the horse and her bottom hit the ground before her feet. Durza dismounted after her. He watched her movements. She stood and used her hands and feel around the side of Genge. “ Silhouette.” He tried to get her attention.

“ Leave me alone! What you tried to get me to do was the most sickening thing I have ever had to endure with any man.” She said, finding her walking stick and sliding it from the holder along side the saddle.

“ Silhouette…I…wasn’t thinking.” Durza tried to explain. Though his mind could not even comprehend why he was even trying to apologize to her.

“ I’ll bet!” She shouted walking around towards the side of the road.

Durza quickly grabbed her by her arm.” Silhouette wait!”

The young woman stopped walking and took in a deep breath,” What?” She asked starting to calm down a bit.

Durza took in a deep breath,” I was not thinking clear, it’s been a while since I’ve dealt with a woman. It was wrong and unjust what I did, I’m sorry.” Gods, was he kidding himself, Durza never apologizes to anyone. Much less some country girl what was his deal? He waited for a response from Silhouette and waited.

Until she at last turned around, and spoke,” Do you really mean it?”

“Yes. I really do mean it Silhouette. Please let me help you back on the horse. If you want to go home I will take you back now.” He offered.

Silhouette thought for a moment then sighed,” If you promise not to try anything like that again, I will continued to spend the day with you.”

This brought a light smile to Durza’s face,” I swear not to try that again. Nor anything inappropriate again, just please let me help you back on Genge.”

Silhouette finally gave in and nodded, pleasing Durza very much.

Authoress note: I have no clue if Durza was in love once. But ladydoma(Ladytorte) says he did. So please no criticism for that for the love of Durza. Again I write whatever comes to mind
