Chapter 4: Sundance

A few hours had past since Cassius had taken control, Dust had lost some memory as to what had happened. As he tries to remember the faces of his foes all that came to mind were blank faces meaning nothing to him, he couldn't remember the limbs or what Ahrah had turned to. Dust had travelled back to Aurora village as it was the closest place to where he had awakened.

Dust approached a large wooden door, the colour was hidden by the night. He was stood in front of a sizeable house, possessing tranquil carvings of verdure across the door frame. It was truly a sight to behold, worth a fortune no doubt. Dust took a hold of the large, metal door knocker in the shape of a tiger's face and began to knock loudly. After several seconds of waiting the door slowly opened, a pleasant breeze of warmth hitting Dust as it did. Ginger soon appeared in the doorway wearing a beautiful sky blue yukata with a sundance yellow bow.

Dust stood there for a moment, gazing at Ginger in amazement but soon snapped out of the trance.

She gave him a gentle smile, like the one back at the sorrowing meadow.

Dust was struggling to remember what had happened earlier that night.

She cut off and approached Dust, noticing the scars after her eyes had adjusted to the darkness. She placed her hands on Dust's chest, making sure they were real and not a trick of the night.

Dust panicked for an excuse, he didn't want Ginger to get involved knowing it would upset her.

Ginger shot him a look of confusion.

Dust let out a sigh of relief then walked with Ginger into the house. As they walked down the hallway there were detailed portraits and medals all around, it was like a trophy room but Dust was more distracted by Ginger.

Ginger blushed and looked to the ground, hiding her embarrassment.

All Dust could hear was the clacking of Ginger's getas against the wooden floor as she walked, it was a comforting sound. It kept me at ease. But the thought still came back to me, sooner or later I had to tell her...

Sorry, I wont be able to upload as many chapters for my stories as often due to exams but I will try my best to set aside time :)
