Chapter 11: True Feelings
After Jake left, Mizar, Dumon and Rio decided to chat for a few minutes before parting ways.
"Me and Rio are going to the Ice Cream Parlor not far from here." Dumon told Mizar. Rio held out her D-Gazer.
"Contact us if you need us." Rio said to Mizar, to which he nodded.
"Alright." he said. "I'm going to go to on a walk. To collect my thoughts on my duel with Heather." Mizar said. Dumon and Rio nodded, then walked in the opposite direction. Mizar then began to walk throughout the park.
This makes no sense! he thought. How could I have recognized Heather so easily?! Mizar closed his eyes, then opened them again, only to see more memories.
Memory Flashback
The moment the two met a beautiful friendship was formed, that would soon evolve into something beautiful and pure.
Heather: Thanks Mizar.
Mizar: I've never seen you around these parts, where are you from?
Heather (looks down sadly): Austrania.
Mizar (eyes widen): The kingdom of the mad king?!
Heather (starts to cry softly): Yes he was my brother, he turned on me.
Mizar: Forgive me, I'm sorry I made you remember a horrible memory.
Heather (smiles): Thanks, I've been trying to find a place to settle down in, but have had no such luck.
Mizar: You can stay with me until this war passes over.
Heather (brightly smiles): You really mean it?
Mizar: Of course, it gets lonely in the mountains sometimes.
Heather (hugs Mizar tightly causing him to blush): Thank you Mizar!
Mizar (blushing madly): You are welcome, Heather.
Memory Flashback over
"Huh." Mizar muttered. "I am still confused about this."
On top of a building not too far away…
Heather watched Mizar as he walked further into the park. She too, saw the same memory Mizar did. She shook it off as if it was nothing.
"Those memories are lies!" she shouted. (Yes, she is in her Human form). "I won't believe that I was once human!" Mizar took out his D-Gazer, and dialed Dumon's number.
Perhaps Dumon and Rio can help me with this. he thought. Heather had watched him the entire time with a smirk on her face.
Meanwhile, with Dumon and Rio…
Dumon and Rio sat on a bench at the Ice Cream Parlor. Dumon had a cup with chocolate ice cream, while Rio had vanilla ice cream, combined with some other flavor. Dumon was about to take another bit from his ice cream, when since D-Gazer started to beep. Dumon took it out of his pocket and looked at the ID of who was calling him.'
"Mizar?" Rio asked as she leaned over Dumon's shoulder.
"Apparently." Dumon agreed. And with that, he answered the call.
"Dumon?" Mizar asked from the other end. Rio found it appropriate to ask her question.
"What is it Mizar?" she asked the Dragon Tamer.
"I need your help." Mizar replied. "Where are you guys exactly?" Rio was about to answer, but Dumon answered before she could.
"We're at the Ice Cream Parlor near the school." Dumon replied. "You know where that is?"
"Yes, I do." Mizar replied. Dumon nodded.
"Good. See you then." Dumon said, then ended the call. Rio turned to face Dumon with her soft, pink eyes.
"I wonder why Mizar wants to talk to us." Rio wondered aloud. Dumon shrugged.
ack to Mizar…
Mizar put his dragon-like D-Gazer away in his pocket, and began to walk out of the park, toward the Ice Cream Parlor, which was near the school.
I still don't understand this feeling I feel. Mizar thought. Could it be… Love?
Back to Heather…
Heather watched as Mizar walked out of the park. She didn't hesitate to jump to another build to watch him go down the road toward the school. She chuckled darkly.
Don't worry Mizar, you'll get the rematch you so desperately want. Heather thought. It'll happen later, rather than sooner. Thanks to my last two duels, my energy was weakened, but not entirely. Once I'm back up to full strength, our rematch will commence. But not in the way you expect it to. I have a few surprises in store for you. Heather continued to watch Mizar until he was almost out of her line of vision, then she leapt to another building.
And, back to Dumon and Rio…
Dumon was now finishing up his ice cream, while Rio was looking through the book Dumon got from the library about the Number cards. Before she could continue further, Mizar had arrived. Dumon and Rio looked up to see the Dragon Tamer standing over them.
"Sorry I'm late." Mizar said apologetically.
"No need for apologies Mizar." Dumon said reassuringly. "We didn't set up a specific time." Rio nodded.
"So, what was it you wanted to talk to us about?" Rio asked.
"Lemme guess, it's about Heather, right?" Dumon asked. Mizar nodded to confirm this.
"Yes." Mizar replied. "I don't know why I recognized her when before had our duel. It must have been my memories in my past that enabled me to recognize her." Dumon put his hand to his chin.
"Hmm…" Dumon mused as he went into deep thought. Mizar sighed.
"I don't understand the feelings I have for her." he admitted. "I have felt them before. But, not like this. My emotions towards her are stronger than any emotion I've ever felt." Rio smirked at this explanation.
"You love her, don't you?" Rio asked out of curiosity. Mizar confirmed this with a nod.
"Indeed I do." he replied to Rio's question. Rio smiled at that response. Mizar took a deep breath, then continued.
"I always will love her. But now, I'm not so sure I can." Mizar said, a small tears came down his face from his eyes. Dumon's eyes widened. He never seen Mizar cry. Never! Rio then asked a question Mizar didn't expect.
"You met her in your past, didn't you?" she asked. Mizar nodded.
"Yes, I did." Mizar choked the answer out of his mouth. Like replying was hurting him. Then, he continued, "But how can I if she's our enemy?" Dumon and Rio gasped in shock. After a brief moment, Dumon sighed.
"You do realize that complicates things, right?" Dumon asked.
"I know that Dumon." Mizar replied rather sharply, which made Dumon cringe a bit.
Above, not too far away…
Heather had listened to the whole conversation. She cringed at the part of Mizar mentioning his love to her.
Insolent human! she thought with rage. I never had feelings for humans and I never will! At this point, she leaped down from the build she was standing on and landed right in front of Dumon, Rio and Mizar. Dumon and Rio snarled, while Mizar cringed. He looked into Heather's purplish-yellow eyes.
"Heather..." Mizar muttered. Heather then turned to Dumon and Rio and gave an evil grin. She took out a piece of paper from her pocket and tossed it to Mizar. Mizar unfolded the piece of paper and began to read it.
A challenge. he thought. But, why at the park? Something must be up with that park, but what? Heather chuckled darkly.
"One week from now, meet me at the park." Heather sneered. Mizar turned to face her, then nodded. Heather nodded as well.
"See you then, Mizar." she said coldly. After she gave Mizar the invitation, Heather snapped her fingers and created portal behind her, which she walked through before Dumon, Rio, or Mizar could stop her. All Mizar could do was stare and watch as she disappeared through the portal. After the portal disappeared, Mizar clenched his fists.
I'll free you Heather! No matter what the cost may be! Even if that cost is my own life! My reason for this is because… I love you! And that will never change! Even if you were reborn as a Barian and became my enemy.
Mizar is determined to free Heather!
