《Innocent.》Chapter 9
Advertisement
As we were halfway down the street from the Ice cream place I feel someone grab my hand causing me to stop walking.
Turning around I see Krew looking down at me.
"Can I help you". I ask folding my arms with a sigh.
"Look that mess that happened in the Ice cream spot I'm sorry aight I didn't know she was gone say nothing like that". He said as I gave him a blank expression.
"Really Krew you about to stand here in my face and lie". I ask mugging him and he smacked his lips.
"What I got to fucking lie for Sariah you acting like I can control what people say". He said raising his voice a little as he spoke.
"I didn't say you could control anything but you know she doesn't like me and you know she runs her mouth about my father you know the one that you grew a bond with, the one that's always asking about you, yeah him". I said with a frown on my face.
"Look man I didn't even know she was coming my homies asked did I want to slide for some ice cream they didn't say nothing about them bringing them girls". He said and I could tell he was getting frustrated.
"First and for most I'm not your man and okay we just gone leave it where it's at". I said turning around looking for my father but he was nowhere in sight.
"Did you see him leave". I ask Krew turning to face him all the way.
"Nah He was standing right behind you when I started talking to you". He said and I started to panick.
"DAD". I yell looking around.
"Come on let's go look for him". He said grabbing my hand.
Had it been any other time I would have snatched my hand back but this is about my father and I don't have time to be arguing.

"We've been looking for an hour and he's nowhere to be found". I said looking over at Krew who was typing away on his phone.
"T'Jay said they found him by the lake at the park". He said putting his phone away in his pocket.
"Okay let's go then it's like ten minutes away". I said walking off.
The journey to the park was silent and it wasn't an awkward silence.
"You know I'm really sorry about what happened". He said breaking the silence.
"It's whatever I'm washing my hands with the whole situation". I said still looking straight ahead.
We finally made it to the park and over to the lake. Walking closer I see T'Jay throwing rocks in the water trying to get my dad to do the same thing.
"Daddy why would you walk away like that". I ask as soon as we walk closer to them.
"Water". He said pointing out to the lake.
"You should have told me I would have brung you, you had me worried sick". I said looking him over to see if he was alright.
"I like the water". He said smiling at me.
"I like the water too daddy but let's get you home okay". I say grabbing his hand and he nods his head.
"T'Jay thank you for watching him". I said looking over at him.
"It's no problem sister-in-law". He said causing me to give him a look.
"Don't play with me". I said rolling my eyes.
"Nah it's all jokes sis". He said holding his hands up to surrender as he laughed.
Shaking my head I stick up the middle finger and began to walk off with my dad.
"So what we not gone talk about us". Krew said walking beside me.
"There us no us Krew". I say with my face scrunched up.
"There is but that's another story for a different day". He said causing me to roll my eyes.
"Come on daddy we're going home". I said guiding him to walk towards our house.
I can't stand Krew sometimes.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
