It had been a long journey but finally they were approaching the small village in which Roxa had first met Alessia, yet it was also the same place that Ave started to rear his ugly head. It seemed that this place was both his blessing and his curse.
The horse on which they had journied started to tire by the looks of things, and Roxa was close behind it considering the state he was in both physically and mentally, he had suffered many cuts and bruises along with being drained of any magical power he had. His pshyce was gravely damaged and he had a constant paranoia that Ave would come back, well he was always there but only in his mind he feared that he would physically control him again.
"Alessia..." Roxa muttered rubbing his eyes and blinking a few times "We are almost there"

There was a loud snoring sound from behind Roxa which was Alessia, she had been sleeping for awhile now so when Roxa called her name she woke up right away. I fell asleep... great, she sighed rubbing her eyes then looked off into the distance to see what looked like a village ahead. "That looks like my town."
She looked back at Roxa to see how he was doing, "How are you feeling though?"

Roxa simply frowned slightly "It has been a while since I was here..." he said his face contorted with thought "Last time I was planning on getting my revenge on Shan for murdering my mother, yet now I come here in hopes of a few day's peace" He looked back at her "I feel like I've been against the god's themselves, yet I am relieved"

She laughed a bit, it sure seemed like they were against the gods. Solaris, Griever, those names Kain mentioned were both gods. "But it has been awhile, this town holds both good memories and memories I'd rather not bring up. But mostly good ones." She said the last bit with a smile.
The horse came up to the village, it had been rebuilt, new buildings about a good two dozen of them. "It looks beautiful." she said in surprise getting off the horse, "Come on, Roxa, I want to look around!"

Roxa moved smoothly from the horse and handed the reigns to a man who started leading the animal towards the stables "Do you think they'll recognise you?" he muttered to her, yes it had been a thousand years but you could never be to safe. "They may not recognise either of you, but they sure remember what you did Roxa..." Ave hissed at the back of his mind.

She practically danced around the village in joy, "Well the village did look at me as a goddess, so maybe I'm somewhere in history." She said finally stopping near Roxa, "But it might be best people don't recognize me. I wasn't even here to protect them when they really needed it." She sighed and for a moment it actually looked like she was depressed. But that was ended when she smiled once more grabbing Roxa's hands.
"Come on, I want to see if my house is still standing!" She yelled pulling him to the near end of the village.

Roxa did not exactly have a say in the matter, he didn't plan on digging his heels into the floor and stopping her dragging him, no she was too happy for him to even try "I remember your house" He said smiling "And I also remember you falling over in a rush to set me up a bed. All of a sudden a realisation hit him and he did exactly what he thought he wouldn't, digging his heels into the ground he halted her movement "Do you know where we're stood?" he asked grinning.

She blinked looking back at him, "Dirt...?" She asked dumbfounded.

Roxa simply chuckled to himself "If I remember right, this is very close if not the exact spot where you lept in front of me over a thousand years ago and told me a man my age should smile more"

Her eyes seemed to glitter at Roxa, all these years and he remembered the spot where they met. "You actually remembered?" She smiled brightly at him. "And look at you now, smiling. I always thought you looked better with a smile and not the gloomy face you used to carry." She made her best although horrible, version of Roxa's frown.

Roxa simply rolled his eyes "Yes well can we keep moving? because I feel like my brain is going to leap out of my skull and maybe if I can lay down for a bit I might improve slightly" He continued walking "And what are you glittering about" he said motioning to her eyes "You look like your holding a diamond to them"

She simple giggled holding tightly onto Roxa's arm, "Oh it's nothing."
After awhile of walking they came to a house that clearly looked like it needed repairs, her house. It was old and worn looking but it still stood. Next to the house was a rock with words carved into it, it was a memorial to the townspeople who were burned by Duo. Then at the very end it told what happened to the towns protector, Alessia and how she died fighting for the world with the Saints.
Alessia couldn't believe it, "Roxa... they remembered me, they didn't hate me. Can you believe that?"

Roxa simply smiled "Well your not exactly a hateable figure Alessia" he said reading the memorial "I'm sure they hate what you did all those years ago... those nine local mercenaries that you killed in cold blood" Ave chimed in wickidly "No you did that..." Roxa thought standing up straight "Shall we?" he said motioning to the battered door.

She nodded entering the home, there was something missing but it was nearly kept in perfect order sense she left. Someone was taking care of her house sense it hardly had any dust on the furniture. "Oh wow... this is amazing." She said looking around her room, "Looks like they replaced my bed though, which is good."
She sat down on it, it felt new. She didn't think anyone was currently living here so that was good.
"So, Roxa," she said as she kicking off her shoes to get comfy, "What do you plan to do for the next couple days we'll be spending here?"

"Sleeping..." he said smiling "lots and lots of sleep" thankfully it seemed the second bed that had been set up so long ago had been replaced, unlacing his boots he collapsed onto the mattress and spread his arms out either side "Sleep and talk" he rolled himself over onto his side to look at Alessia "What else is their to do?"
