Chapter 1: Burning flames
It was a year now since the battle with Luc and his guardians. During the past few months a peace treaty between the Grasslands and Zexens were arranged. And now was the day the peace treaty would become official. The Mighty Zexen knights, Lizard clan, Chisha clan, Karaya clan, Duck clan and even the Alma Kinan clan was gathered outside the Budehuc castle. One by one the Clan chiefs signed the parchment which served as the agreement of the peace treaty. Last to sign was the Captain of the Zexen knights.
While Chris signed the parchment, Borus' eyes rested upon her. He looked at his captain with longing and pain for he was deeply in love with her ever since he was still a knight in training. He could still remember the reason why he trained to be a knight in the first place…
Flashback…
A blonde young boy was staring at the silver-haired girl who was surrounded by knights… suddenly his blue eyes met with the girl's violet ones… and she smiled…
The boy turned his head away embarrassed…
Someday… I'll be a knight… I'll protect her just like those old knights are protecting her right now…
Yes… I'll become her knight…
One day…
End of Flashback…
Yeah right… her knight… he did become a knight and a very skilled one… But how could he become her knight now when she herself was a knight… Borus shook his head and once again stared at his stunning captain. Yes… still staring at her after all those years…
After Chris signed the parchment she raised it with a look of triumph and everyone cheered with happiness because finally the war was over. Borus smiled with relief that finally they could live in peace for even a few years or so.
"Borus!" Leo called the blonde knight.
Borus looked up at the huge man waving his arms at him. Now what could possibly Leo want? Borus took one last look at Lady Chris who was conversing with Nash and started to go toward Leo… wait a minute… NASH! Borus flared with anger as he slowly approached Nash and Lady Chris. Borus could tell that Nash was definitely flirting the way Chris blushed with embarrassment and discomfort.
As Borus stomped his way towards Lady Chris and Nash he felt a hand pull him away. And to his utter dismay it was his archrival Percival. "The Ladies man" as the people put it…
Percival: "Hey Borus, Leo was looking for you… he seemed pretty pissed off… he said you sped off away from him after he called you."
Borus: "He is? Well just tell him I had something to take care of and I'll meet him later…"
Borus shifted uneasily as he watched from a distance Lady Chris frowning at Nash who continued harassing her.
Percival raised one eyebrow as he watched Borus looking like he had a stomach ache or something. Something was definitely bothering Borus.
"Ok tell me what's wrong?" Percival asked the blonde knight with his calm demeanor.
"What's wrong? Well! Why don't you look behind you and tell me what's wrong huh? Since you've wasted enough of my time already!" Borus crossed his arms with irritation.
Percival turned around and raised both eyebrows to see a very embarrassed Chris and a very harassing looking Nash. He felt his blood boil at the sight of it and decided to calm himself down and turned to Borus.
"Borus my friend, I think Lady Chris is capable of handling that situation by herself." Percival said gaining back his composure. And with that said Percival waved at Borus and disappeared into the crowd of townspeople.
Borus glanced again at Lady Chris' direction and contemplated whether to act at his own will or listen to what Percival had just said.
"Damn Percival! I'll act as I wish to act!" Borus continued towards Chris and Nash and stood beside her while giving Nash a death glare.
Nash glanced at Borus and raised an eyebrow.
"Excuse me Borus but adults are talking here."
Borus clenched and unclenched his fists restraining himself from beating the hell out of Nash right now in front of Chris.
"The only so-called adult I see here is you Nash, besides what are you? You have got to be on your 50s or something" Borus retorted to Nash with a smirk.
Chris stifled a laugh as she watched Nash face turn beet red.
"You may not insult me in front of a lady!"
Borus looked at Nash annoyingly.
"Tsk tsk touchy touchy… don't get all worked up Nash I was merely stating a fact you know?" Borus raised one eyebrow deliberately insulting Nash.
Nash didn't restrain himself this time as he grabbed Borus' throat and strangled him. Borus was taken by surprise and started to strangle Nash too. But Nash had the upper hand because he was on top of Borus both his hands were strangling Borus' throat while Borus struggled for air.
"Take back what you just said you insolent bastard!" Nash commanded Borus as he continued to slam Borus' head up and down from the floor
(Borus keeps struggling for air)
"I mean it take i- -"
"Ok that's enough! STOP IT!" Chris bellowed at the two blondes who were busy trying to kill each other. Chris shook her head with disbelief. She couldn't believe Nash would be so childish to get upset about something so trivial. And Borus… well he actually had a point but he shouldn't pick fights as one of the respectable knights of Zexen… But she has to admit that it was pretty funny to watch the two strangling each other. Chris smiled to herself.
Nash released Borus' throat and stood up from Borus.
(Borus gasps for air)
"Are you freaking crazy?" Borus yelled at Nash while he massaged his now very sore throat.
Nash merely shrugged and turned to Chris.
"I'll talk to you later… in private of course" Nash gave Borus a threatening glare then kissed Chris' hand And waved goodbye as he ran back inside the castle.
Chris turned to Borus who seemed to be having very hard time breathing. Chris chuckled and Borus turned to look in her direction looking embarrassed.
"Well Borus, it was your own fault you know." Chris said to Borus while shaking her head.
"You shouldn't have taunted him about being old… You how sensitive he is about that matter"
Borus stood up from the ground still massaging his aching throat.
"Well… I… was just…uhh…."
Chris raised one eyebrow at him.
"you were just?"
"I was… just… uhhh… trying… to uhh…." Borus continued to stutter.
"Spit it out Borus"
"I was just trying to save you from Nash's harassment…"
Borus looked down on the ground and now felt really stupid for having done what he had done with Nash.
Chris simply smiled at Borus.
"Thank you for your concern Borus. I can handle Nash… But I really appreciate your concern for me"
Borus blushed. "Well it's part of my job milady… uhh… I have to go now… Leo is waiting for me…" Borus smiled and ran towards the tavern his armor clanging against the ground.
"Part of your job huh…"
