Chess Protection.
Sadness...Rage...Anger has consumed him.
Age old legends come true, the girl still does pursue him.
"The tunnel.." She thought. "Please let this work." She pleaded.
The Gods are listening...
War...Battle...Crimson blood paints his sword.
She runs. She pains. To hear his every word.
The field is barren. Corpses litter the plains.
"No..." She breathed. " Please let me see him again."
Fighting...Biting...Striking down his foes.
The legend of the Dragon had been long fortold.
Mane of green...Eyes of gold...and scales of ebony bone.
He kills...He thrashes...to win back his rightful throne.
Worry...Sarrow...Tears... She sees him fighting.
"No Haku!" She screamed. As she ran on to her home.
His eyes are stone. His heart is dark. He has long lost his Queen.
He fights. He kills. In her name he will be free.
Running...Praying...To make it in time.
The girl looked into his eyes. "You are not who was once mine."
He stopped mid stike and looked at her.
His breathing fast. Adrenaline quick.
She stood strong. Willing him to stop. Her gaze like iron.
"Haku it's me. Don't you remember?" She stated, hoping for the better.
Calm...Quiet...Shock taking over.
The Dragon callapsed. The damage took it's toll.
Death loomed over him ready to free his Dragon soul.
Realization hit her. "No..."
She flew like an angel, and took an arrow and her bow.
"You will not take him from me." She whispered. "Haku...don't let go."
She aimed and shot. A shot that was straight and true.
Death looking on. He laughed at her feeble attempt.
She let her arrows fly. There was nothing to regret.
"I will save him." She vowed. "Haku..I love you."
With that she summoned all her strength. She prayed to the Gods to grant her some power.
Again...The Gods were listening.
They took pity on her human heart..her being...and might.
With this they granted her the power to fight.
She shined...She shifted...She adorned her new form.
She was his beast now. His Queen had returned.
Mane of crimson...Eyes of Silver...Scales of heavenly dust.
She took flight...Barred her fangs...She will do what she must.
She bit. She clawed. She used all of her might.
In the end. Death lost this fight.
He drew back his blade for one last blow. He aimed at Haku.
"He is dead. He must go!"
When she saw Death's final attack. She let out a mighty roar.
His blade stopped in mid air. This was the end of his show.
Death bowed to the Queen. He knew he couldn't go on.
"You're a worthy fighter." He then spoke. "Sing you're song. They're is still hope"
So she sang. With all her heart. Her Dragon's song.
" You're a ghost...I'm an angel. We're one and the same. Just remember my name."
"Lost and unchanging. What do you see? If you're looking for meaning. Just look in my eyes."
"A bloody battle. A mighty roar. I am your Queen that you adore."
"Come back my King. The throne is now yours."
Death then left the world. She looked on in beast form. Her King lay motionless.
"No..Please dont go."
His lungs did fill. His chest did rise. She breathed a breath. A heavy sigh.
His eyes now open. He stared up at her in shock.
"Its me Haku." She spoke. "I'm here now."
He then let out a roar so filled with pride.
"How is it that I did not die?"
She nuzzled and nipped and then she looked on. His eyes did gleam.
"Just like in a game of chess..." She whispered. "The Queen protects the King."
