Poor Ky, blaming himself for a fallen Knight he couldn't save.
Ky's POV: you could not forgive yourself with a fellow Knight's death that you could have prevented. You really could not think or see clearly, all you felt was someone supporting you and then heaving you in a warm rain. This reminded you of when your parents were dead in front of you; you were deeply scarred by the pain but then the Commander saved you and told you to join him when you were 15 years old. With the remembrance of the promise you fulfilled, you woke up and saw Luna getting herself soaked for you. Luna had always complained about getting wet, but she was here, trying her best to make you presentable to the remaining Knights. "Luna…" you were so happy that Luna was staying by you although you had laid your troubles on her. "Hi Ky" she smiles for you, you stood up and embraced her. If Luna had become a Knight instead of the errand girl she was, she might be one of the Knights who is deceased.
Luna's POV: Ky was resting in your room, asleep to add, while you decided to go to Sol's room and see what he was doing. He was horrifyingly dirty; his uniform was the only thing clean, "Shower Sol!" you command, Sol looks at you with boredom in his eyes, "Not right now. Eventually." "And is that 'eventually' going to be now?" you were annoyed and disgusted, "No." you walk up to Sol, "up, now" "You cannot make me budge," Sol snarls, "We will see about that," you summon out the Dragon in her smaller true form. She wraps around Sol, entrapping him in her red scales, "What the?" Sol was bewildered, "Now time for your shower Sol!" you grab the Dragon's long tail and start to drag Sol to the bathroom. Once in the shower area, the Dragon strips all of Sol's clothing off and places a towel around his waist, you had a hard time getting Sol to stay in the shower area, he struggled with all his might to escape. He only stopped when the water soaked him completely, "Fine. Don't make this take forever." Sol growls, "If you be nice then it won't." you scowl, your shirt was already torn from the struggle. It was hard scrubbing all the dirt and dried blood from Sol's skin, you undid Sol's tie to keep up his hair and when you were about to take off Sol's headband he stopped you, another struggle arose and Sol torn off your shirt and undershirt, which revealed your chest and stomach area. In order to prevent Sol from turning around and see you half-naked you promised to leave his headband alone. He already knew that your undershirt and shirt was off because he stared at them from his hand, he only pulled you to his back and enjoyed the squeal that was coming from you.
Kliff's POV: You were astounded that many Knights that were sent to fight the Gears were still alive; the classes were probably starting to take effect now. You then hear mutterings coming from the Knights around you, you then see Luna walking, she was completely soaked and her shirt was missing and replaced with a towel. "What happened to you Luna?" you were surprised to see Luna in this way, she smiles, "Sol finally got a shower!" she then happily hums to herself on the way to her room. You had to hold in a laugh, you had never heard Sol take a shower especially in the Order quarters.
Luna's POV: You got into your room and see Ky fully dressed in his uniform and refreshed, back to the way he was. "What happened Luna? Where is your shirt? Why are you wet?" you happily chirp a reply, "Ask Sol! He knows!" you then went into bathroom to change.
Sol was still angry when you met up with him and Ky to have dinner. Ky was almost laughing; you figured that he heard what happened from Kliff.
You made brisket and several large side dishes, Sol was relieved that you chose that for dinner, Ky really wasn't expecting it but ate it anyway. Ky had pulled you away from the cooking while Sol was enjoying a smoke. "Luna, you should not become a Knight." Ky urges you, "What? Why?" "I…" Ky hesitates, "I can't forgive myself if you had died in action." You could see that Ky was deeply affected, "I won't die, besides, if I did, I would bring great honor to my family." "Honor?" Ky was confused, "If I chickened out Ky, I would not forgive myself. I ran away too many times to feel any honor or pride left in me. My grandfather fought in a great war and brought honor to the family name. Now it is my turn, I will bring honor to the family name before I go. I must or I have not fulfilled my destiny. You must understand Ky, I am willing to go far into this war to protect and bring honor to my family name. My grandfather was a great man, I was very close to him and I wish to bring him honor. I must become a Knight somehow." Ky sees the desperation in your eyes and drops the subject.
In the middle of dinner, you sensed something wrong and put out the fire with water. "Hey!" "Luna! How are we going to see?" both Ky and Sol were surprised at your actions, "Shush, there is something terrible around here."
What do you sense? Could it be Gears? Keep reading!
