"Talking"
Thoughts
To Rush, this was the best night of her life, not only did the man she loves oh so dearly say he loves her, but asked her hand in marriage! All her worries, fears, and insecurity melted away as she was in the arms of David Nassau, the both of them standing in the moonlight of Celepaleis Castle Ballroom Balcony. David could have never been so much happier, he is now engaged to the person he has fallen for a year ago. It's as if life has given him an early '5 more years' birthday gift, but better much better. After a couple moments in each others arms they pulled away from each other but kept their hands intertwined,
"I love you, Rush," his smile was so bright that it could light up all of Athlum.
"I love you too, Dave," she returned his smile with her own.
Sighing to himself with happiness, David lifted Rush's left hand, where the ring was, and kissed it, "I think we should head back inside. It's getting cold and I bet everyone is wondering what we are doing."
Nodding, Rush allowed David to lead her back to the party. As they entered the ballroom, many Noble families were watching the couples every move, until one father approached David and Rush, bowing.
"Lord David. Lady Aeris. I am Aaron Surikae, 28th Head of the family Surikae, it is an honor."
David gave the man an acknowledge nod and Rush curtseyed slightly.
"Lord David, I believe you have met my daughter, Cecelia, I believe she is a perfect woman to take on as your wife and Lady of Athlum."
David mentally kicked himself as he remembered that he hasn't told Rush that he has been bombarded with marriage proposals.
"Yes, I have met her and spoke with Miss Cecelia. She is a beautiful woman…"
Rush silently listened to David and Aaron's conversation and mentally yelled at herself, It's probably nothing. No need to get all perked up about. Yup! Nope! No need! GAH!!
While Rush was zoned out in her mind, David continued to speak with Aaron, "but I cannot accept her in marriage."
Aaron looked shocked, "Well why not?! Is she not the one?!"
"I want a wife that will put me and Athlum before herself. A wife that will protect Athlum with all her might and will not cower or give up when all hope is lost. Always getting back up on her feet and pushing forward. That is the woman I will marry."
Aaron, then, shifted his eyes to Rush, "Lady Aeris," he surprised Rush a little, "Who are you to Lord David?"
Oh no! We didn't give Rush a cover story! David was about to speak, but Rush beat him to it, "Well Lord David and I have known each other for quite some time, I first met him when I left Eulam and came to the main lands, I was attacked by some monsters and lucky for me, Lord David was there to help me out and take me to Athlum. I stayed there as a guest for a while, but he and I grew a friendship bond that just clicked to us. However I had to leave and I haven't seen him for one year; that is until tonight." Rush semi told the truth, only she left out her true identity.
David stared at his future wife in disbelief, but did not show it upon his face.
Rush curtseyed again, "Please excuse us, we have a lot of catching up to do. Have a good night."
Rush, this time, lead the way through the crowds and through the double doors to the bedchambers. Rush quickly opened her bedroom door and pulled David inside, "Whew, I thought I'd never make it our alive! Never let go into part lik---hmph?!" She was cut off by David spinning her around and catching her lips into his. David pressed harder into Rush's soft lips and licked her bottom lip begging for entrance. Rush moaned into the kiss and opened her mouth and she felt David's tongue slip inside and roamed around her mouth. After what felt like eternity, they both needed air and quickly pulled away.
"Whoa Dave. Didn't know you could do something like that."
David smirked, "Well, I'm full of surprises. Plus, I loved the way you said 'Lord David'" He dove in again except this time, David picked up Rush off the floor and placed her in the queen size bed, placing one of his hands behind her neck and the other around her waist. Rush moaned quietly in the kiss and broke apart, glancing at David's confused look.
"We're not going there are we?"
David's eyes widen, "W-what?! N-no! I didn't mean it like that. I just wanted to show you how much I love you. Please don't take it the wrong way. I mean if you want to, then it's fine with me. Not that I want to now…"
Rush laughed at her future husband's hysteric remarks, "Is this the new side of Dave I have never seen before?"
David's face flushed and he turned to the side trying to hide the blush, only to fail miserably. This made Rush laugh even more, "Aw come on Dave, I was just kiddin' with ya!"
The Marquis sat up from the position they were in and sighed to himself, "I know."
Rush sat up and had worry in her eyes, "Dave?" She placed a hand on his arm, when suddenly loud horns echoed throughout the city. David stood up and jogged to the window and saw many of Celepaleis's soldiers gathering to the gates.
What is going on?
Knocking came to Rush's door and Torgal's voice was heard, "Lord David, Celepaleis is being attacked. It is Hermeien."
David cursed and ran to the door, and opened it, "Alright Torgal, I'll be down in a moment, let me get my sword."
Rush stood up and ran to the door only to be stopped by David, "No Rush, you will remain here."
"W-what!? Why?! Why can't I fight with you?" Rush looked into David's blue eyes.
"Because you know that Hermeien is only after you. He's going to get you and use you to revive the Remnants. Chaos will come back again and… and I can't risk losing you again." David took Rush's hand and gave it a squeeze, "I promise I'll come back. You have to promise me you'll stay here." David looked into Rush's sad cobalt eyes,
"It'll give me a reason to stay alive if you're here." He gave the black haired girl a quick kiss and ran off to his room and into battle.
Rush stood at the doorway, staring at where the blond once stood and smiled, "Sorry Dave, too bad I'm not a great listener." She ran back into the room and changed into her black armor.
With David and Troops an hour later
The battle was getting tougher and tougher, as they defeated many fiends, many more just come and reinforce and their powers is much stronger than the last. David already lost 10 soldiers in battle and many wounded including himself, but it wasn't going to stop him from winning this fight and returning to Rush.
This would have been a whole lot easier if I had the Gae Bolg.
"Lord David!!"
The said man turned his head around and saw Hermeien walking briskly through the chaos towards Celepaleis's gates.
"No!" David made a mad dash to the older man and stopped in front of him. Hermeien looked at the younger blond and smiled,
"Well, if it isn't the Marquis. I see you've made quite a recover since our last meeting. I can see Rush is not with you, where is she?"
David growled, "Like Hell I'm going to tell you!"
Hermeien laughed, "That is something Rush would say, wouldn't you agree?"
"Shut up!" David raised his sword and charged at Hermeien, who was preparing for the fight. A black figure flashed in front of David making his stop with a jerk.
"I'll fight him, please stay back."
"Rush?! How?! I told you to stay inside the castle!" Rush turned to look at her fiancé and smiled, "I know, but you know how I am, I'm stubborn and not a good listener." She turned back to Hermeien and her face grew serious.
"Hermeien."
"Ah, Rush Sykes, it's good to see you again."
"Enough talking, let's dance."
"Yes, lets."
David wasn't going to watch Rush fight against Hermeien and risk losing her again, "Rush you can't…" a force of wind blew at David making him slide backwards away from Rush and a dark ominous barrier cut him off. Emmy and Irina ran towards David looking at the sight before them,
"Lord David, what is the meaning of this?!"
"Mr. David, id Rush really going to…" Irina didn't want to finish her sentence; it would only make her feel even worse.
"RUSH!!"
David's scream filled Rush's ears and mind, his cry was fill with fear and worry; it broke Rush's heart to hear David; she also didn't want to see his face either, knowing she will break down and cry.
"Dave. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Besides, I have the Conqueror and Kellendros to back me up." As their names were called, transparent figures of the Conqueror and Kellendros appeared beside Rush, both has a hand on her shoulder. David watched as Rush slowly approach Hermeien,
"AHAHAHAHA!! This is going to be fun!!" Hermeien power walked to Rush and began to sprint (A/N: I dunno if he can actually sprint O.o) and Rush quickened her pace and broke into a run. With no weapons in hand, they both can only rely on magic and strength.
Hermeien brought his fist high in the air and brought it down towards Rush head, who stopped immediately and used her slim figures to maneuver herself away from the fist. As Rush spun on one foot, she raised her other leg and snapped it to Hermeien's exposed back causing him to lose his balance.
Rush jumped back a few feet from Hermeien and tried to catch her breath,
Whoa, being in a woman's body is amazing! I'm faster and flexible than before!
Hermeien stood up straight and waited, "Is that all you got?"
Rush sucked in as much air as she could and held it before she sprint quickly at Hermeien, she balled her hand into a fist and brought it up to Hermeien's face, surprising his with the new strength and speed.
Where did she get all this power!
Rush continued to hit Hermeien in different places of his face and chest, as Hermeien's head went down due to the hard impacts of Rush's punches, she lifted her leg up and kicked him in the face. Hermeien quickly recovered and summoned a dark energy ball in his fist and hit Rush square on her abdomen causing her to fly backwards on her feet.
"AH!!!"
David watched in horror as the battle between Rush and Hermeien grew heavier and longer.
"Rush!!"
Irina pounded her hands on the barrier hoping it would break and go help Rush,
"No, no! This can't! Rush!" Emmy left a while ago to help the others with the remaining fiends attacking Celepaleis's soldiers.
Rush regained her balance and dashed forwards before she slid on the ground hoping to catch Hermeien's feet and make him fall, but he jumped in the air away from the attack only to be hit by Rush's much stronger Wind Shear. Rush stood up and ran to Hermeien doing a double kick on his chest; on the second kick, Hermeien grabbed her leg and spun her around before throwing her against the barrier really hard. Rush fell into a heap on the ground and tried to get up by using her elbows and knees. Hermeien walked up to the struggling Rush.
"Pitiful, even with the help of the Conqueror and Kellendros, you have no control over that power, you are still too weak to fight against me."
David rammed his entire body against the barrier as he saw Hermeien loom over Rush limp body.
"RUSH! RUSH GET UP! HE'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! GET UP RUSH!!!" his cries did not meet the girl's ears for she was too tired and exhausted. Rush failed miserably trying to get up and just fell on her back facing the skies, which were dark and black clouds. Hermeien kneeled on one knee in front of Rush and placed a hand over her eyes, completely covering it.
"Now sleep, you will need all the energy in order to revive the Remnants back into this world." Hermeien lifted his hand and satisfied that the girl is now in a deep sleep. He picked up Rush bridal style and stared at David and Irina with a smirk,
"Thank you, Lord David. We will see you again very soon."
David never felt so powerless, as he witnessed his fiancé lying limp in the man's arms, deathly pale and unconscious. He was going to lose her again.
No…
Hermeien turned away and started walking.
No!
The barrier was still up so Irina or David could not run after him.
No!!
Dark aura surrounded Hermeien and Rush and soon they were gone.
