Inmortal heart
The four dragons are standing around her bed, watching how her chest struggles to keep moving. Je-ha and Shin-ah are at her left and Zeno and Kija at her right. Yoon is next door, giving the dragons space. And Hak, well...Hak wasn't with them anymore. After years of fighting and taking his body to the limit on many occasions to save his friends, time finally took him. It had been a year since then and it had affected the princess greatly, to the point where she herself was dying. They never married, they both had responsibilities with the kingdom and their relationship would have interfered with them. But that never stopped them from taking a midnight walk together through the woods or going to town undercover.
"Everyone...", starts the princess but she starts coughing.
"Princess, please don't-", Kija starts but is cut off by her smile.
"It's ok Kija. We have been together all of our lives and now we have to say good bye, briefly."
Zeno closes his eyes, knowing that wasn't true for him.
Yona slowly extends her hand towards him. He notices this and rushes to take her hand.
"I know what you are thinking, but have hope. I'm sure we will see each other again."
She closes her eyes and smiles. Her voice doesn't work anymore but they read her lips.
"Hak"
The hand that Zeno is holding looses its strength and falls limply to the bed.
Zeno falls down to his knees, his chest being ripped apart by pain and anguish.
He was supposed to be the yellow dragon, his skin could break the sharpest blade and not even leave mark. But in that momento he felt scars forming in his heart, scars that will never heal.
