Hak had spent the majority of the day and most of the night sleeping. He woke up about a hour or so before the sun was to rise, surprised he slept so long he sat up and rubbed his eyes. He noticed his body didn't hurt anymore and he felt... really great actually. He also started to be able to feel the presence of someone. He closed his eyes and concentrated on the feeling, remembering Kija explain something along these lines to Shin-ah after he joined us. He noticed he was feeling the presence of the other dragons and.. Yona. He remembered the other dragons said they couldn't sense her presence like they could with the other dragons, but Hak could. This will come in handy in the future, he was sure of it. He looked at his body and noticed he didn't have any obvious dragon traits like Kija, Jae-ha and Shin-ah, his new dragon brothers. Hak let out a small chuckle at the idea he was actually now their black dragon brother. He was curious as to what would be different with the dragons blood running through his body but hastily thought he would ask his now dragon brothers to help him figure it out after breakfast. Right now all Hak wanted to do is test his new found skill to find his princess and talk to her alone about everything that happened. Hak stood up and left the tent following only his new found dragons senses. He quietly stood along the edge of the tree line around the clearing where the hot spring was.

Yona was sat on the ground in the same spot where everything took place, wiping away silent tears as she remembered his screams of agony that night, it was a heart wrenching sound and would likely plague her memories for years to come. Hak tried to silently approach her from behind, just as he was about reach out and grab her from behind, Yona flung her head back quickly, shocking Hak. Knowing he was busted he let out a small chuckle,

"You're just too cool sometimes." he grinned impressively as he walked and crouched down in front of Yona, 'his' princess, he smiled brightly once again remembering her words from the other night, " You.. Are.. Mine..", yes, I'll always be yours.

"I can sense you too", she said as she stuck her tongue out slightly in his direction.

"Good to know" he chuckled out, knowing sneaking up on her now would be very difficult. Deep down he liked the new challenge.

Yona's smile slowly fell, she grabbed the sleeve on the side of arm and asked, "Are you ok? I'm sorry Hak, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that pain because of me". Tears started to form again remembering the terrifying event.

Hak turned his body to face Yona, he grabbed her cheek in his hand and wiped away the tears falling on to her swollen cheek. "It wasn't your fault, I decided to go through it just as much as you. I honestly don't remember the pain so please don't upset yourself over this. I-"

"I thought you were going to die!" She sobbed burying her face in his shoulder.

Hak shocked by her outburst started to feel bad for having her witness something so horrid to have her cry this hard. He pulled her into his lap he shifted so she was leaning sideways against his chest, he held her as close as he humanly could to him. They sat there for a minute as Yona started to calm down, Hak had rested his head on top of hers.

"I'm sorry, I never wanted to scare you like this again. Ever since the cliff", he couldn't help let out a small chuckle remember the headbutt Yona had gave him after he tried to kiss her.

Yona slightly huffed and looked towards Hak, "What's so funny?"

Hak smiled and said, "Well, last time I scared you like this I.." he stopped and grabbed Yona's chin to point her face towards him as he leaned down closer to hers.

"I tried to do this and you gave me quite the bump on my head" he said as he slowly descended down on to her lips in a gentle, loving kiss.

Yona blushed at both the memory and the kiss that had left her wanting more. "I wont try to feel your temperature this time", she whispered as she smiled up at him. He smiled back and brought their lips together again, they stayed locked into each others lips for a few long moments as the sun started to rise above their heads. The blush of dawn making Yona's hair appear as if it were on fire, Hak loved this shade of Yona's hair, it always made his mind play with his fantasies.

Hak unwillingly pulled away and planted a final kiss on her forehead before saying, "Zeno's coming this way", he smiled looking at her stunned expression. Answering her subconscious question he said, "I can sense them now too", giving her one last hug before helping her stand before he to stood up. He looked Yona in the eyes before he almost shyly, asked,

"Can we do this again later tonight? There is something I want to talk to you about.. Alone, if you don't mind".

She blushed as smiled and nodded before she gleefully said, "Of course! I look forward to it!"

"Found you!" Zeno playfully called out as he practically skipped into the clearing. "Is the Mister feeling better today?"

Hak smiled as he responded, "Yeah I feel great actually" stretching his arms above his head.

"Yay! Miss can we steal Mister for a bit today?" Zeno said as he put his hands behind his head and smiled.

Hak and Yona shot each other confused looks before she replied, "Of course, but what for?"

Zeno's smiled shined as he walked a bit closer to Hak and said, "The other dragons and I want to play with our new brother".

They all laughed a moment before Hak put his hand on Zeno's shoulder and said, "Sounds fun, when do we leave?"

"After food" Zeno said as his stomach let out a growl, causing them to laugh again as they started heading back towards camp.
