as snow fought, she was grabbed by a wing and thrown to the ground by what looked like a swordsman, unlike the bandits. "stay still... and you will be spared. " snow knew instantly who it was... those deep hazel eyes... she knew him... "n..na...navari?!" narvari nodded "yes snow. its me. but we are on different sides..." his sword was at her neck. before the attack on the village, navari and snow were the best of friends. they always played together, and even trained together, but after the attack, he had vanished. tears began to fill snows eyes before she said "then kill me." navari was calm, no emotion showed "what did you say?" he asked, "KILL ME!" snow yelled, sobbing "if i have to be killed, i want to be killed by you, not used as a pet for the bandits! and navari..." she closed her eyes, then opened them, smiling at him "you were always my friend, never.. forget that. " navari was still for a moment, then pulled his blade away from her neck, "i will not kill you. i will not kill one so noble. on the other hand, " he took a fighting stance at the surounding bandits "the bandits... arent as noble. rise up snow... as the proud warrior that you are. " snow stood up, and grabbed her blade. then smirked "still the same old navari i know." the two were back to back, and began to fight off the bandits around them... together.
