Third person POV
Yona and Hak had arrived at the place where Yoon and Tsukiko had been taken, they had noticed their things on the floor and began to worry for the pair. As Yona began shouting for the two strong wind blew past them bringing a chorus of voices with it.
"Go away."
"Be gone." The voices were saying making Hak tense up and stand in front of Yona protectively.
"Who are you?!" Yona shouted.
"Leave this ground at once!" The voices echoed around them.
"Stand back." Hak instructed the Princess.
"If you step any further, you will receive divine punishment." The voices spoke again.
"You're hiding in the fog and you talk of divine punishment, huh? You must surely be a magnificent God, am I right?!" Hak shouted swinging his glaive and dispersing the fog, this in turn revealed the men aiming arrows at them.
"Who are you?! He cleared our fog away with just one swing..!" One of the men shouted.
"Are you guys people from the dragon village?" Hak asked pulling Yona close to him.
"It seems they know of our clan. Then that is all the more reason to not allow them to go back." Someone said.
"Was the boy and girl from earlier your companion?" The old man questioned, causing the pair to stand more alert.
"So you were the ones who took Yoon and Tsukiko away?! What did you do to them?!" Yona shouted at him concerned.
"Those children.." He trailed off as he got a closer look at Yona.
"You.." He trailed of again lowering his bow. This caught the attention of all the others as they also lowered their bows.
"Red hair.."
"That's red hair.."
"It can't be..."
"But it's a girl.." The people surrounding them spoke amongst themselves, causing confusion for the pair below, the old man quickly jumped down from his place in the tree and knelt in front of Yona.
"Where do you come from, Re-haired girl?" He asked her.
"The land of wind. We received guidance from the high priest to seek out the four dragon warriors. Are you the one who possesses the blood of the four dragons?" Yona explained to him, but she also asked him a question herself. This caused people to shout about the high priest.
"No...We are the protectors of the White Dragon. Let me guide you, to Hakuryuu Village." The man offered them.
~Now over to the others who are currently being held in a cage~
"Hold on! Can't you let us go?!" Yoon shouted from inside the cage, his arms were tied behind his back and his feet were tied together. Though he seemed pretty much fine, just annoyed they'd lock such a pretty boy up. Tsukiko on the other hand was terrified. She of course had a fear of tight spaces, so she was sobbing quietly in a corner of the cage. Yoon would have comforted her but he himself was tied up.
"How much do I have to say that it's rather distasteful, to tie up a pretty boy like me and put me in a cage?!" Yoon shouted angrily, though he was ignored by the person standing next to the cage.
"At least let Tsukiko out! She's terrified of tight spaces! Can't you see how much she's crying?! What is wrong with you?!" He shouted at the man, but again got ignored. He continued to shout at the guard, who continued to ignore him.
"Your punishment will be decided by our dragon." He finally answered, though it made Tsukiko cry more as she shook and trembled. She thrashed around trying to get out of the rope that bound her together, the bandages on her wrists and ankles were a good choice as the rope rubbed against her arms and legs. If the bandages weren't there her skin would be red and raw.
"Aaannnd on your left you can see a statue of Lord Hakuryuu..." The old man said as he gave Yona and Hak a tour of the village.
"Hold on! How do you get to just casually walk around the dragon's village, while the pretty boy and Tsukiko get put in a cage?! I should be the one getting special treatment shouldn't I?! Yoon shouted at the pair that had just casually waltzed into the village.
"Oh! Yoon, Tsukiko, are you alright?" Yona asked leisurely.
"Oh sure, I'm doing just fine being tied up! Have you seen Tsukiko?! Does she look okay to you?!" Yoon angrily shouted at her again, making their heads snap towards the youngest Princess, who was still huddled in a corner crying and shaking uncontrollably.
"We have treated them rudely, let them go." The old man instructed, though the guard didn't seem to agree on the idea.
"They are the red hair's guest." He said gesturing towards Yona.
"Oh! Excuse me!" The guard bowed in apology and quickly opened the cage, which Yoon gladly crawled out of, his restraints were taken off and he rubbed his wrists.
"Hey, we're letting you go. Come out." The guy said to Tsukiko who was still in the corner, Yoon turned and crawled back in the cage to get Tsukiko. He undid the rope around her wrists and ankles and eased her out of the cage. She was still shaking and crying, but was slowly calming down. Yona quickly ran over to her sister and brought her into a hug, the younger Princess clung onto her sister tightly as she sobbed into her chest. Yona tried her best to soothe her, she was new to it and didn't know exactly what to do, but she soon managed to calm her.
Although she was still cautious around the villagers she didn't let it stop her from helping where she could. She ran around happily as she talked and greeted the villagers, who in turn greeted her with smile. Though a lot of people were surrounding Yona she still had a crowd of people around her telling her how cute she was with her freckles and her silver hair in pig-tails. She'd blush and thank them shyly wish would make them squeal loudly obviously overcome by her cuteness.
Tsukiko had managed to get away from the group of people and was now walking around the village by herself. She smiled as she looked around at the beautiful scenery in the village, as she turned a corner she was knocked over by what she assumed was a person, and not a wall. She quickly looked up to see a man with white hair, white robes and what looked like a dragons claw for a hand.
He was staring at her in confusion, but that confusion turned to anger as he glared at her making the poor girl flinch.
"Who are you and what are you doing in this village?!" He shouted at her angrily. She hadn't expected him to be so hostile and being the shy girl she was wasn't able to form words. The man continued to glare at her waiting for her to answer, when he realised she wasn't going to answer he stopped glaring at her and took a closer look at the girl he had knocked over.
He only just began to take in how she looked. She was obviously quite young and she looked very fragile and small. As he studied her more she began to shake under his gaze, she didn't know why he was looking at her so intensely but she did know that she didn't want to anger him any further. So she quickly stood up and bowed her head low.
"I-I'm s-sorry." She stuttered out quietly, his eyes widened at how quiet and shy she was. He immediately felt bad about the way he shouted at such a tiny thing, he basically towered over the silver haired Princess. His eyes softened at the trembling girl in front of him, he carefully knelt down in front of her so he could look into her eyes.
"Hey, I'm sorry that I shouted at you. I am the Hakuryuu of this village." He greeted her softly. She lifted her head to look at the man, now named as the white dragon warrior, and she smiled happily.
"I'm Tsukiko!" She told him her name cheerfully, he laughed at her change in demeanor and stood up again.
"Are you with the people that are making a ruckus around the village?" He asked her softly but seriously. She looked confused to begin with, but then slowly nodded her head.
"I guess. But I've been avoiding people the best I can, and I haven't been with my companions since I was let out of the cage I was put into." She explained, though the being put into a cage thing made the mans eyes widen and he bowed to her in apology.
"I am deeply sorry for how the people in this village treated you. You don't seem like the type of person that would want to harm anyone here. You have such a kind aura about you." The Hakuryuu explained to her smiling, she smiled back and followed him as he ran off to find her group.
He caught her attention but once she turned around and he saw her face he bent over clutching his dragons hand in pain, he then proceeded to scream and then collapse. Tsukiko quickly ran over to her new friend and knelt down behind him while carefully lifting his head onto her lap. Though that didn't stop the villages from screaming in worry.
