Ch.4 The Dragon Castle/Adjusting

They've been walking for three hours, trying to get to the castle before the sun sets. Hana didn't get much of a sleep last night when they camped, she asked if she could keep watch while the officers sleep. Alfeegi noticed that Hana was slowing down. She usually is beside them. "What's wrong, Hana?" Alfeegi asked. Hana stared at Alfeegi. "...I'm fine." Hana said. Alfeegi sighed. "Did you get enough sleep?" Alfeegi asked again. Hana sighed in defeat. Alfeegi lowered his back. "Here." Alfeegi said while looking at Hana. Hana wrapped her arms around his shoulders and got on his back. He got a grip on Hana's legs and started to walk. Hana drifted to sleep and rest her head near his shoulder. Ruwalk then realized Alfeegi carrying Hana on his back. He then smiled. Hana was like a calming down force to Alfeegi. He barely yells at him or Kai-Stern for awhile when Hana was around him. Hana looked really peaceful when she was asleep. Alfeegi felt Hana snuggling her head against his shoulder. He smiled gently. In a few hours, Hana started to wake up. She stared at Alfeegi, who was carrying her. Alfeegi noticed Hana awaked. "You awake?" He asked. Hana nodded and let out a yawn. "How long was I asleep?" Hana asked while rubbing her eyes. "At least for three hours." Alfeegi said. He then got a better grip of Hana. She still had her arms around his shoulders. She rest her head against his shoulder. "Hana, you might as well get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there." Alfeegi said. He then saw Hana asleep. He smiled gently. Ruwalk got beside Alfeegi. "She asleep?" Ruwalk asked. "Yeah...I told her I would wake her up when we get there." Alfeegi said. Ruwalk smiled at Hana with her head resting on Alfeegi's shoulder. "I'm suprise how this girl is still going." Ruwalk said. Kai-Stern and Tetheus stares at him. "What do you mean?" Kai-Stern asked. "Well, look at her. She's been through tough times; much harder than all of us. She lost her brother, didn't have family love for years, and being alone without having a single friend. I think she's been through alot." Ruwalk said. Tetheus stares at Hana. "She has more strength than any of us." Tetheus said. Silver then perched on Kai-Stern's shoulder. "We're almost there..." Silver said. Soon, after another few hours, they arrived at the castle. "Hey, Hana. Wake up..." Alfeegi said. Hana opened her eyes, then closed her eyes. "Come on Hana, we're tired too." Alfeegi said. Kai-Stern was behind them. "Give her to me, Alfeegi. You deserve a break." Kai-Stern said. Alfeegi sighed and let Hana slip a little, letting Kai-Stern carry her in his arms. "Did she stay up all night yesterday?" Tetheus asked. Alfeegi nods. Silver sighed. He knew what it was; and yet didn't tell the officers why. He stares at Hana. She was asleep peacefully, without stirring alot. They soon arrived at the castle gate, where Lord Lykouleon were waiting for them. He had spiky blonde hair with bluesh green, gentle eyes. "I'm glad you guys are okay." Lykouleon said with a gentle smile. He then notice Hana sleeping in Kai-Stern's arms. "Is this Hana?" Lykouleon asked. "Yes, my lord. She...kinda stayed up all night yesterday. One of us had to keep watch and she volunteered. Alfeegi carried her most of the way, then I volunteered to carry her." Kai-Stern said. Lykouleon stand beside Kai-Stern and Hana. He smiled gently and brushed the hair that was hiding her face. She stir a little and started to open her eyes. "Hana?" Kai-Stern asked, unsure if she was awake or not. She then noticed Lord Lykouleon and blushed lightly. Lykouleon smiled gently and stroked her hair. "It's a honor meeting you, Hana." Lykouleon said in a gentle voice. She stares at Kai-Stern. He smiles at her. She then noticed something. Everytime she's near one of the officers or Lord Lykouleon, she feels safe and warm rather than cold and scared. She let out a small yawn. She heard Lykouleon chuckling, knowing that she was still tired. "You better get some sleep, Hana. You must be still tired." Lykouleon said. She leaned her head against Kai-Stern's shoulder and closing her eyes. She felt him carrying her and laying her down on a soft bed. Silver then laid right next to her, all curled up.

Hana was the only dragon knight right now, since the other dragons didn't found their masters yet. She then realized that this was the very beginning, before everything happened and when the three knights were found. For the past few days, she was staying at the castle with the officers, Lord Lykouleon, Queen Raseleane, and Cernozura. Hana walked into a room and noticed a piano. She rememberd her brother teaching her piano lessons before he left. She sat on the bench and started to play the piano. She then remembered a song that she use to sing when she felt a time that she felt alone, letting her mind drift off into her fantasy world.

"When she was just a girl, she expected the world

But flew away from her reach, so she ran away in her sleep

And dreamed of

Para-Para-Paradise

Everytime she closed her eyes"

Ruwalk and Ka-Stern were walking in one of the corridors until the heard singing. "Who's singing?" Ruwalk asked. Kai-Stern looked around. "I think it's where that old piano we placed in that one room a few months ago." Kai-Stern asked. They then started to walk to where the music was coming from.

"When she was just a girl, she expected the world

But flew away from her reach, and the bullets catch in her teeth

Life goes on, it gets so heavy

The wheel breaks the butterfly

Every tear a waterfall

In the night, the stormy night, she'd closed her eyes

In the night, the storymy night, away she'd fly

And dream of

Para-Para-Paradise

Ooooh

She dreamed of

Para-Para-Paradise

Ooooh"

Ruwalk and Kai-Stern managed to find where the music was coming from and was suprised that it was Hana. They both stared at each other. Silver then perched on one of the drawers that was next to the room.

"So lying underneath the stormy skies

She'd say 'ohooohooh

I know the sun must set to rise'

This could be

Para-Para-Paradise

This could be

Para-Para-Paradise

Ooooh

This could be

Para-Para-Paradise

This could be

Para-Para-Paradise

Ooooh"

Silver then realized why she was doing this. He had seen Hana's past and what she does with her brother Silver arleady knows that Tetheus now knows what happened to her brother. Silver stares outside, looking at the clouds passing by. Kai-Stern and Ruwalk stared at each other, then back at Hana playing the piano.

"This could be

Para-Para-Paradise

This could be

Para-Para-Paradise

Ooooh"

When Hana finished the song, a tear runs down her cheek. "I miss you, brother..." Hana whispered while cletching on the necklace he gave her. It was a cross with a black diamond incrested in the middle. She cried softly to herself. She then felt someone's hand rubbing her back softly. She turns and sees Kai-Stern. He smiled sadly at her. She then buried her head to his chest with her hands clentching onto his shirt. He wrapped his arms around her, stroking her hair lightly. Ruwalk then saw dark clouds covering the skies. "It's going to storm." Ruwalk whispered to himself. Kai-Stern was still hugging Hana, letting her know that him and the other members are always with her every step of the way. Hana thinked of the officers as her brothers now, since they cared about her so much. Kai-Stern then pulled away, staring at Hana. He then rest his hand on her cheek, making her look at him. "We're always going to be there for you, Hana..." Kai-Stern said while kneeling infront of her. She blushed. "...promise?" Hana asked. He smiled and rest his forehead against her, like how her brother does. "...I promise." Kai-Stern whispered. She wrapped her arms around him once more. She felt a tight embrace from him in return. "We care about you, Hana. We want you to be happy here." Kai-Stern said in a gentle voice. She did want to be happy, just don't know how. Except for her brother, there was no one else that actually cared about her, until she came to the world of Dragon Knights and actually made a bond with the officers, her favorite characters in the series. She will try her best to be strong; for her new friends, Lord Lykouleon, for Dusis, and for her brother.
