Disclaimer- I do not own the Eon/Eona Duology, Alison Goodman does. I simply write fanfiction.
This takes place right after the end, but for this story, the Mirror Dragon healed Ryko, and is in Eona's point of view. This story is Eona/Kygo. : )

As Kygo steped off the dias, he took my hand, once again he made my heart flutter.

"We have much work to do... my love." He said quietly to me as we walked to the meeting tent. I felt color rise in my cheeks. I didn't care if he saw my blushing face, I just wanted to kiss him.

"Indeed we do, my love." he smiled as I said this, a smile I thought I would not see for a while. We both had lost so much, he his Imperial Pearl, and I my dragon. So many others had lost even more- their lives, or the lives of loved ones. I was almost one of them, and Dela too. I almost lost Kygo, twice, the thought almost bringing tears to my eyes. Dela had lost Ryko, but the renewed Mirror Dragon healed him right after she healed me.

We were almost at the meeting tent to discuss what to do with Sethon's army, since they all serendered. Out of my periferals, I saw movement and looked to my right to see a blade being swung, and screamed in pain as it cut my fore arm and leg. Then I heard the air part and felt pressure in the right side of my abdomen, the force of something puncturing it sending me to the ground. The man who cut me had a physician's knife.

"Eona!" Kygo rushed over. "Eona, can you hear me?'' his franctic voice called as he craddled my head in his lap, and felt him put his hand over my abdomen, pressing down around something. "Stay with me, please." he pleaded and moved his hand off of me. I felt a diference in my position, then I didn't feel the ground under me, and there was a steady bumping. I saw Ryko's sword slash through my periferals and the yell of a man cut short, then all I saw was darkness.

-I-

My eyes fluttered as I woke up in the medicinal tent. I was lying on my side, the inside of my right arm facing up, and the back of my right leg facing out. Kygo leaned toward me in his chair, his elbows on his knees and his moon hand slanting slightly in. He grabed my moon hand lightly. I tried to sit up only to have him place his hands on my shoulders, pressing me down. His face lightened when I looked at him, but he didn't smile. He wanted me to stay awake, but needed me to sleep. He needed to sleep, too. Badly.

"Eona, you have to rest." he urged, laying me down again, after my second atempt to sit up.

"But I don't want to rest. There is so much we have to do." I looked out the door, to see its night. "How long was I out?" I just wanted him to talk to me. He was so stubborn and needed me to rest. I could be stubborn too, I was not going back to sleep. I definatly was not tired, I must have slept the whole day.

"Four days." his eyes shown with sadness and worry, right before he looked at the ground. I was partialy right, I had slept the whole day. I was also wrong. I had slept way more than I anticipaited. I could tell he still needed me to sleep, but gave up trying to make me. "We though we were going to lose you." his voice cracked. "I had every able physician and healer and Beseecher here. Maylon cut your arm from just under your elbow through your wrist. It took two minutes and four tries to get the bleeding to stop. The arrow went all the way through your abdomen. That bled just as bad as your arm. It did not pierce any organs, but it came within milimeters of your diaphram. He also cut your right calf, which will take even more time to heal than the other wounds. You are very strong willed, Eona. A lot of people would have died. Dela, Ryko, Rilla, Chart, Vida, and I were so worried about you." he smiled a gentle, caring smile. His eyes didn't hold as much of the sadness or worriedness they did just a second ago.

''Who do you say was worried most?" I asked, lightly smiling, trying to lighten the mood. Everyone loves a competition. I failed miserably.

"Easy. Me. I haven't let anyone but the physicians, healers, Ryko, and Dela talk to me. I wouldn't even let anyone but the physicians, healers, or myself touch you, for fear of them hurting you and making it to the point of no return. I have never left this tent, and have gotten less that three hours of sleep, volentiering to take every watch but one to see when you woke up. I heard one of my own soldiers say 'so what if she died, a woman should never be Naiso' and had him executed for treason because I didn't want to loose you and the soldier made me think I would. I also haven't eaten or drank anything because I was so worried for you that I couldn't." my eyes were wide and my heart quickening from what he just said. "Eona, do not look at me wide eyed. You know why I was worried so much. Would you have done the same for me?" he looked at me with worry, thinking I would not do anything in or out of my power to save him. Had I not proved that already?

"Of course I would." I said. And we both knew why we would do what he did. I looked at him, my eyes full of determination and pain. Evidently he saw my expression and he helped me when I tried to get up. I now remembered the cut in my calf thanks to the pain. Getting up made me realize something. "How did I get here?" I asked, knowing I did not come here myself, and it was quite far from where I was attacked. It would take me ten minutes to get here, sprinting. We stopped walking for a moment.

"I carried you. Fear gives people strength, you know. It was the scarriest time of my life, Eona." I looked at him, my eyes thanking him. He must have seen. "Do not thank me, I did what I should have done." he smiled gently again. My face went serious and made him stop smiling. "What?'' he had a worried expression. "Do you not love me?'' I lifted my chin.

"What if I said you could have either me or my power? Which one would you choose?"

"What kind of question is that?"

"Which one would you choose? You know what I would choose if it were your position or you."

"You don't have your power anymore."

"Tell me Kygo. Which. one?" I said, hoping I did know which one he would pick.

"Even though I have to choose for my empire, I would choose you." I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. We started walking to the door again. "My empire would survive without your power, but I would not survive without you. You are the moon to my sun." he grasped my hand as we walked out into the open camp.

"And you, the sun to my moon."
