Chapter 4
Raven looked every where, from building to building. She looked in every park, and on every street. She asked many people but all was the same answer, no. Finally she came to the shore of the ocean.
There she saw him, sitting on a rock and looking out into the sea as the sun began to set.
"There you are I have been looking every where for you. I was afraid that you had left". She drew nearer to him, seeing if she would get a reaction. "Hina come on now, it's not all bad, I mean Trigon was the one that destroyed everything not you". She said calmingly. "It was because of me though, because I failed my duty as a warrior for Azerath. I was the only one that could have stopped him, and I let him pass and take the city. Yes he did actually take the city and destroyed it, but it was because of me that he had the chance to do that".
He continued to stare out into the sea. Raven had no idea how to help him, so she though she would change subject. She wanted to get some time to think on how to make him feel better "Why did you come here, to the shore"? Hina stood and dipped his hand into the water.
"Water is the element for peace. It was made to help souls rest in its waves. I have come here hopping the water could ease my soul". He withdrew his hand and watch the drops of water run down his arm.
"How do you know that, I mean water can hurt a lot of people with storms and floods; How can water be peaceful?" "It only shows how strong it is. The element water has the title of peace and calmness, but when you show the true power of water, it can hurt people. One man or women could be the greatest in peace and calmness but that doesn't mean that they still can't they fight and show there true power" Raven nodded. She stared at him in wonderment. "How can one boy be like this" She thought.
"Hina, look I am sure there are another ways for you to fight Trigon, if that's really what you want to do. Opening some portal is only one way to him. I am sure that there are a million of other ways to get to him". She sat down next to him and smiled. Hina stared at her and nodded.
"I suppose your right, there are other ways to get to Trigon. I guess I am just shock that the only way I new to get to him is now no longer available to me". "Plans do go as well as we like them Hina". Raven said. "We just have to make new plans to make up for the old ones". Hina smiled and nodded.
They were silent for a while as the stared at the sun set as it stared to dip into the sea. "It's weird" Raven said. "Its weird how I only met you a few hours ago, but it seems like we have known each other for a long time". She wondered. "We are of equal nature, that's probably it. We come from the same city, from the same life styles they had. Of course you would feel as if you have known me longer". Raven smiled. It was nice to have some one that was from her world, some one that new the ways that she new.
The sun was completely gone know and stars were starting to pop up in some places. Hina sighed, he still sounded disappointed. Raven smiled and then pushed him into the sea water. There was a big splash and as he went in head first. After a few seconds he came up and spat out water.
"Feel better" she said with a chuckle. Hina took a deep sigh. "Much better, why don't you come in" and before Raven could do anything he pulled her in. There was another big splash as both Raven and Hina went underwater. They both came up and breathed in air. They laughed as they looked at each other. Soon later they both came out and stood once more on the shore.
Raven looked up into his face, and smiled. "Happy now". Hina smiled and nodded.
"Thank you Raven, you're a kind person. Trigon may have taken a lot from me, but I will still fight on, hoping that what ever I get back will be something beyond speculation". Hina said with a smile. Raven nodded and then looked out over the sea. The moon was coming out as the reflection glowed off the waters.
The air around them was cool and the waters become clam once more. Raven stuttered for a moment and then very slowly drew in close to Hina. Hina move away in an instant.
"R-raven why don't we head back to your home" he said before she could do anything else. "It will get cold soon and we are all wet". She looked at him in a funny way and then nodded. They both turned and walk off toward the titan's home.
