(This my wattpadians is an idea for Ruffian, but this far in the story he has brown hair)
On with the story...

"Alia" the king stuttered looking at the ground.
Ebony looked at Ruffian, he looked at her 'I have no idea, what he's talking about'.

The king was stuttering to himself Molio sneered at the king "What, are you talking about. Are you drunk sire?"
The king snapped his face up and stared angrily at Molio. "You may be Zanean of the brotherhood. But you have no right to talk to me like that" he raised his voice.
Some of the apprentices, cringed at his loud voice.
"Well, then who is this Alia. You think resembles Ebony" he sneered
"Alia w----as m---y daughter" the king said tears forming in his eyes
"What!"
Everyone turned to see Ebony stamping her foot and crossing her arms.
Molio looked at her, she stole his words.
Ruffian came over and put his hand on her shoulder, Rananei moved closer as well.
"What are you talking about your Majesty. My Ala's name isn't Alia it's Mala" Ebony spat on he ground
The king looked at her "There is something I would want to tell you. But think your Eila should tell you"

"Eila what is he talking about" Ebony lost all the anger out of her voice, and replaced it with anxiety.
"Enony" Ruffian trembled, Molio snickered to himself he knew the secret would come out, eventually.
"Ebony, I am not your real father, and Mala is not your real mother. But I love you as if you were my own blood" Ruffian stuttered out.
Ebony looked at him, tears fell down on her face. She looked at him, Rananei looked at Ebony, Molio quietly snickered. The apprentices gasped with shock, the King had a few stray tears down his face from looking at this scene.
"Wh what, who am I then? Who are these real parents? I don't care who they are, Ruffian and Mala are my parents now!" Ebony said turning from Ruffian to the King and back to Ruffian.

"I'll let the king explain" Ruffian said sheepishly, the King called someone over and said "escort these friends of mine to the castle courtyard". The servant nodded and escorted the Assassins out, Rananei gave Ebony a heartfelt gaze before leaving.
"So..." The king started
"I am ready, to listen as long as Eila can stay" Ebony said stubbornly
Ruffian ruffled Ebony's hair cutely
"That is fine" the king smiled at the reaction of Ruffian. "Well, where can I start. Well your mother well, she was your mother. And she was rebellious to me as she got around the age of sixteen, she started going out somewhere. Sneaking out, most likely to met your father. Who was eighteen when they met, but I soon discovered she was pregnant. I asked her to tell me who the father was, she told me it was your father. I didn't let her go out anywhere no one really knew she was my daughter. After you were born I made her give you up, to the right people. And then I made her get married to some one to give to save this Kingdom." The king said his eyes filling with tears.
Ebony looked at him, her face wet from tears, Ruffian was also crying.
"Now your father, he was the greatest assassins your race had known for five hundred years. And same with the Kings, he was the best, he was so young and yet so strong and wilful. You have his bright red hair, he used to met your mother in secret, he gave her gifts from love. They had a baby and then I was ferrous with him, I lost a very good friend. I send him on a difficult mission and he never returned" the King said letting more tears fall down his face
Ebony grabbed her hair and studied it closely.
"You are my granddaughter Ebony" the king said. Ebony walked closer and anxiously gave him a hug.
"Ebony, you have a choice to make but you must say it front of the other" The king said pulling Ebony away.
"Okay"
"Let's go" Ruffian said grabbing Ebony's hand. The three of them walked into the castle courtyard, it was a beautiful site there were many big, tall, old oak trees. With a lovely pond and flowers and wildlife.
Ebony, Ruffian and the King spotted the other on the grass talking and laughing, Ranaei was on a log. Ebony quietly laughed at this, slowly but surely the others noticed them coming and stopped what they were doing and stood up.
The king, Ruffian and Ebony reached the others.
"Your attention" The king started getting everyone's attention "Ebony has a choice to make. She can either come and live with me and live as a royal. Or she can stay and finish her training as a assassin."
Ebony, felt the eyes of everyone on her. She couldn't deal with it, she sprinted of in the west direction. Everyone looked around, Ruffian was about to go after her until he saw Rananei run after her.

Ebony fell on the ground, she pulled her knees up to her chin and began sobbing.

Rananei's heart melted when he saw her crying, he red hair standing out against the vibrant grass, the flowers around her upright and healthy.
He approached her, gulping as he did he had no idea what to say. He didn't have to deal with a decision like that
"Ebony"
"Rananei" Ebony said embracing him in a tight hug "I don't know what to do".
Rananei sat down next to her as she hugged him,
"Ebony, as much as I would miss you. I think you should live with your grandfather"
Ebony looked at him shocked "Is that your final opinion?"
He gulped "Yes. It is."
"Why would you say that? Your my closet friend and I know I'm yours. And you would rather me life away from you. Why?"
"You would see less hurt and suffering" Rananei said as Ebont began to stand up

"Your lying I can tell. Am I not good enough for you? Am I to weird for you?". Ebony said standing up and moving slightly away from Rananei

"No. Ebony. No it's the competition, if your not there I will become top of the class. And that's what matters to me" he said roughly
More tears feel down Ebony's face "How could you say that?, your don't human if you think that being top of the class is better then a close relationship with someone". Ebony said walking away.
Rananei chased after her "No you don't understand, I don't want it to be like this it just has to be"
"Why does it have to be like this?" Ebony asked him
"I can't tell you why"
"Exactly. Rananei" Ebony said walking faster.

Soon the others came into view,and little Ebony went in front of them.
"Your majesty, I have to decides to stay and finish my training as an Assassin" Ebony said looking at Rananei,
Rananei shook his head as she did this. "She chose that harder path" Molio said walking next to his son.

Ruffian picked up Ebony and spun her around.
"Eila? Will you one day tell me about how you found me?"
"Yes. Little one but for now focus on your child hood" Ruffian smiled.

After a long two hour walk back, with no jokes between the two best friends. Rananei and Ebony began to split apart.

Once they had got home, Ebony flopped onto her bed exhausted from the day.

Rananei and Molio got back to their house,
"Son. you need to train if your going to be first in the class" Molio scolded
"But. Eila I'm tired"
"Rananei. Son. That is for the weak emotions are for the weak."
And they trained until Rananei's body was sore that he couldn't moved from his collapsed position on the ground. He thought is his dear friend, what she was doing. She was his closet friend but he had a feeling they would never be as close as they were.

Ebony sat telling the stories of her day to her Ala, but she thought if her dear friend and what he was doing. They would never be as close as they were again.

Sorry guys for long wait but it's finally here!!!!

Yay more to come. Stay tuned.
