"Blood of a Dragon? Why me? I'm nothing more than a healer, I can fight but that would go against everything I was taught in. Besides, isn't their others more worthy than me, to become apart of the Five Dragon Warriors." I said to the beautiful Purple Dragon in front of me.

"Still, if you believe that I would be able to help my brethren by your power and support...then I will take your blood with honor." I closed my eyes, letting everything blur into nothing.


"...train her...Purple Dragon...Master..."

I was quickly brought into consciousness by a distant voice. I was fairly sure I had died peacefully of old age, surrounded by my people. Silly Zeno, he never came to see me. Ah...I remember...I did die. I met up with everyone back in the heavens, what a bittersweet reunion.

Everyone was there...everyone but Zeno. We had watched from the heavens as time went on but Zeno had been forced to stay behind because of his powers. We cried with him, laughed with him, and mourned with him, we saw everything.

Before we knew it over 2,000 years had passed and we had decided that the new ruler of Kouka, King Il, would not be fit for the throne for the long run. Hiryuu decided to reincarnate into his child for Kouka to have a better future.

While the others were watching over the Kingdom and Zeno, I had also watched the progress over the village that I had founded and saw that the current Purple Dragon was getting too old and a new dragon wasn't born yet. I had brought up the idea that I would reincarnate as well but with my memories, and hopefully the same looks, so that Zeno would have company he could relax with.

Guen couldn't do it because the new White Dragon is already 2 years old, along with the new Green Dragon being 7 years old. Everyone had been in agreement and decided that I would go ahead first before Hiryuu. I remember the last conversation we all had before I was reincarnated.


"Yui." I turned around to face Hiryuu and the others. This would be the last time I see them for a while.

"What do you plan to do once you go down?" Hiryuu questioned. I grinned.

"Rejoicing the fact that I won't have to see Shu-Ten's ugly mug for a while." I teased.

"What was that, you damn shorty!" Shu-Ten yelled and grabbed me in a headlock. I retaliated by giving him a punch to the gut.

"Guh!" The attack had taken him by surprise and in turn weakened his hold on me. It gave me the chance to get my freedom.

I ignored him in favor of turning to look over at the other three. Guen grinned at me before enveloping me in a hug. Abi and Hiryuu have me one as well. Shu-Ten just slapped my back, he never was one for sentimental affection.

"When you see Zeno again, make sure to hit him over the head for me. He never came to see even when I told him to." Guen told me. I nodded.

"Abi, Shu-Ten, Guen. I'll see you guys again in a few years. I hope you watch over Zeno a little more until I see him." I told the three of them with a smile.

"Be careful while you're gone Yui. I'll reincarnate two years after you but I'll be going without memories." I smiled at him in understanding before it turned into a mischievous grin.

"Knowing your luck you'll be reincarnated as a female. Soon you'll know the troubles of a female." I laughed at his expression of horror.

I sighed and smiled at them, "Well, I'm off!" I waved at them before walking off, letting the cycle of reincarnation wash over me.


Just as he had said, on the dawn of April 7th, two years after I reincarnated, he was reborn. Of course I was right in guessing he would be born a girl. The villagers had no clue as to what had gotten me so happy and I didn't think to inform him. Years had come and gone in a flash, in the back of my mind I was aware of Zeno traveling to see the other three dragons.

In a way I was relieved and disappointed by the fact that Zeno seemed to avoid coming anywhere near the village. Out of all of us, Zeno and I where the closest in bond, and I'm aware that my death, besides Hiryuus, was the one that had the most impact on him.

I had taken to relearning how to use my powers as well as getting myself back to the original strength I had been when I was alive. Because time had passed, new plants and herbs had come into existence and I took to learning how to make today's modern medicine along with some of the old ones.

By the time I reached 16 years of age, I was happy to note that I was no longer short and reached the height 5"6 instead of my previous height of 4"5. I made the decision to travel to the White Dragons village once I had reached 17 years of age on August 12, which is exactly 5 days away.

I made the announcement to the village and as a farewell, they decided to throw a feast the night before my departure. I plan to only celebrate for at least a small moment seeing as I had to travel to the foggy mountains pasted the Earth tribe and near the border of the Southern Kai Empire.

I would be traveling light and by myself, the minimum it would take me to reach the village would be at least four days and a week and two days if I, for some reason, have to take the long way around. After a moment of celebrating, I wished my village good night and went to bed.

I awoke the next morning before the sun came up and got myself dressed and ready to go. I was only taking a medium sized satchel containing a blanket, herbs, medicine, and some food for the road. On the side of my hip was my Kusarigama in case I ran into some trouble.

The one thing I had gotten over with was my stance on no longer fighting. I'm both a healer and a fighter. I had gotten it into my head that it was alright for me to hurt people and to heal. I would use my weapon to protect and my powers to keep those I care about alive.

I quickly and silently made my way to the village entrance, excited to get my journey started when a voice from behind startled me.

"Do you really think we'll let you leave without a proper goodbye?" A middle aged woman said.

"Yikes!"

"What's with that look on your face?!" The woman barked at me. I laughed sheepishly while rubbing the back of my head.

She sighed, "Honestly, what are you going to do without me beside you?"

"Probably get into some trouble."

"Or get lost on the way to the White Dragons village"

I watched in panic as each comment made Aunty's, the woman, face darken. At this rate I won't get the chance to leave if they keep going.

"Alright! Alright! I get it, you guys don't trust me by myself." I said annoyed, "Look, Aunty, you all though a feast for my birthday and departure. I wanted to leave with everyone's laughter in my memories not with tears." I told her softly.

"I know, but we still wanted to see you off."

I saw everyone in the village come stand before me as I stood in front of the entrance. In union, they bowed to me. I wasn't afraid to admit that I teared up a little bit.

"We'll protect the village in your stead, Lady Shion. Go onto your journey without burden." Aunty declared.

I smiled and left the village, listening to the farewells from everyone, young and old.

Just you wait White Dragon, I'll see you soon.
