Training some guards seemed easy enough. Though Alyssa was not the strongest herself, she knew basic martial arts skills, plus she had Kenny and Arcane to help her in case anything went wrong. It had been a long night for Kenny and Alyssa. Between torturing a merchant and declaring their love for each other, both of them ended up needing a strong drink. Thinking back to the mission before, Alyssa could still hardly believe the man had said those words to her. 'I love you'. The man never got caught in his feelings, yet at that point, seeing the raw passion he put into his words, she believed him.
The split had outed Alyssa as well, telling Kenny that she had discovered she felt the same for him not three hours before he himself had confessed his love for her. The thought still made her blush and her heart race. She had to have been the luckiest girl alive. She had an amazing partner in crime...one that she meshed well with and one that accepted her and her split both. He had even made her split go speechless, addressing her as her own person and not just the evil side of Alyssa. Though the split got annoying sometimes, Alyssa still cared for her as she was a part of herself.
Realizing that Alyssa had left without leaving a hint of where she was going, she quickly made a stop back by the hotel, leaving a note as Kenny did every morning he went to find them a quest. Before leaving the hotel once again, she kissed his forehead and smiled contently. Would this man ever truly be hers? She surly hoped so.
Arcane had seemed to have accepted the man fully into his life as soon as Alyssa had confessed her feelings. He had not done one ill thing to the Kenny since that moment and, in fact, he seemed to be getting closer to him. Spending most of his time trying to bond with the man that he was accepting slowly but surly. Alyssa could only hope that Kenny did not leave them both in the dust. It was one thing to hurt her, it was another to hurt Arcane.
Alyssa slowly made her way to the castle, listening to the sounds of the forest as she did.
Once she approached it, memories flooded back into her mind. This was it, the same place she had came for the previous mission. The same place they had both confessed their love. The castle was a place of wonder and mystery, where most of her dreams had came true lately. She could only wonder what the next mission could bring. Taking a seat on a bench near the entrance of the castle, Alyssa began observing the guards as she waited on her partner to arrive. Noticing everything the guards were doing wrong, Alyssa shook her head. None of them were truly fit to be guards for a royal family. They could not even adjust their uniforms to fit correctly, let alone pay attention to the area around them. If Alyssa wanted to, she could have walked right past all four of the guards at the front without so much as trying to hide. Alyssa and Kenny surly had a lot of work ahead of them.
