The elf silently stalked into the town square, eyes darting from side to side. He stopped suddenly and pressed himself into the shadows just as a guard walked past. Breathing a sigh of relief, as the oblivious guard ambled on his route, he crept out and continued toward his destination. He shifted his balance and the adena in his pockets softly clinked against each other as they too shifted position. He looked around. No one was about; save for the guard crossings and the occassional skitter of the local rodents. He smiled. . and got to work.
*the next morning*
"Sunaria!"
Sunaria's bedroom door burst open with such force that the hinges nearly came off the door as it smashed into the wall.
"Sunaria! Where are you?" the tall young elf exclaimed.
A mess of blankets on the floor suddenly stirred and a red haired head poked out, eyes aflame.
"YOU GAVE ME A HEARTATTACK!!!" she spat as she reached for the bed to climb herself up.
"Hurry.. get dressed. . you have to see this before the town guards clean it all up!"
Sunaria shot an inquizzative glance at her brother, thinking this one of his games.
"What are you talking about?"
"Come on!!" he begged.
Pulling herself up, tied her hair up and grabbed a cloak, securing it tightly over her nightshift. "This *better* be good!" she grumbled.
She walked down the stairs and headed for the door, her brother already standing at the open portal. She squinted and stepped outside the fresh morning air hitting her face.
"Geesh. .you are slow!" He grabbed her hand and they quickly made their way down the narrow street to the town square. Turning the corner that lead to the heart of town, Sarial stopped, mouth agape. Her brother looked up at her with a grin. "So...who's the guy?" he said with a mischievious hint.
Sunaria couldn't believe what she saw. It was a huge heart with her name in the middle made out of adena! And it was so big, it took up nearly the entire square! She looked around, wondering if the creator was nearby but the morning sun hid so many shadows that it would be impossible to find someone if they didn't necessarily want to be found. She just smiled and shook her head slightly as she walked to the center of the heart.
