p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="ES-TRAD"A sharp pain on /spanspan lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"her pelvic region woke Hana from her slumber. She curled on herself with her hands on her belly. 'span class="Ninguno"emGreat... I'm on my period./em/span' She thought. Just now she realized that she was on her room wearing only a white gown, covered up to her neck with a white blanket. /span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"She kept her left hand on her belly while using the right one to help her sit. Looking around, she found the fireplace with fire, warming the room. Hana took a deep breath before speaking./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""What happened?" She said but then had to lay on her side as more pain erupted from her pelvis. Then, the door opened and she heard someone entering./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Zhuque?" Hana asked through the pain./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Oh my! You are awake!" Zhuque said, but then she felt Hana's pain." Are you alright, Princess?" She said approaching the bed. She placed her hands over Hana's head, gathering magic on her palms./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I'm in my period, Zhuque." Hana said, getting closer to the Servant's touch./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Zhuque formed an 'Oh' on her mouth. She then moved her left hand to Hana's belly, making the pain to go away a bit, Hana to sigh in relief./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I wonder why you didn't have it last month." Zhuque said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Maybe because I was too stressed?" Hana said in an asking way./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Could be." Zhuque said feeling Hana relaxing on her embrace. "Have always you period this painful, Princess?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Sort of. Tal always says that as long as I bleed, there is no problem." Hana said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Tal?" Zhuque asked./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""A woman who works with Fareeha and Miss Mei. She used to be a battle medic before serving on the palace on Busan. But little is known about her." Hana explained, placing her head on the Servant's lap. "She taught me about... taught me about... um..." Hana blushed at Tal's teachings about male and female only laughed, making Hana to hide her head more on the Servan't lap./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I know what you meant to say, Princess." Zhuque said, caressing Hana's head, still laughing./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""D-don't laugh!" Hana said, her voice muffled by the ancient woman's clothes as her blush intensified, turning pink her ears./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Zhuque placed her right fist near her mouth and cleared her throat, trying to stop herself from laughing, but her smile was still on her face as she shook her head. 'span class="Ninguno"em16 years old, and she still is embarrassed when thinking or talking about sex. But at least I don't have to have /em/spanthat span class="Ninguno"emtalk with her. Tal did a good job./em/span' Zhuque thought. She then felt Hana's head moving again. She looked down and found Hana's face looking at her, though her face was still red from her recent blush./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""By the way, Zhuque. What happened with Sanzang? Was he freed? And how I got here? And who changed my clothes?" Hana asked but Zhuque placed a finger on her mouth with a sweet smile, silencing her./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Let me answer each question by telling you what happened yesterday yes?" Zhuque said, starting to tell Hana what happened after she used her powers to free Sanzang./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: center;" align="center"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"**************/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"When the light vanished a bit, you could see Sanzang with his arms extended, his other six mystical arms appeared. On the ground a golden image of a Dragon appeared./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""span class="Ninguno"emPass! Into the Dragon's Wing!/em/span" He said. The image on the ground then opened its mouth and its wings opened and extended through the ground to all directions across all Nepal, reaching the village and the Shrine shining brightly./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The magic of Sanzang both healed and purified everyone inside of it. Talon's forces were purified and those injured were healed like the villagers. After their purification, the army of Talon fell to the ground unconscious./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Slowly, the light diminished and Sanzang relaxed, letting himself to levitate above the ground. Then he extended his arms to catch Hana before she fell to the ground. She was unconscious with a new pink mark on her right cheek, just above her jaw, like the first mark she got on Eichenwalde./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Sanzang!" Wujing said approaching him./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Greetings, dear friend." He calmly said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Princess!" Zhuque said as she stood and took Hana from Sanzang's hands. "And, it is good to see you again, Sanzang." She added quickly./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""The pleasure is mine, Zhuque, Wujing. And to our guests." Sanzang said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Ashe, Bob and Satya got closer, not believing their eyes./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I... we are honored of your presence, Sanzang." Ahse said bowing. Satya and Bob following example./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Sanzang lifted his right hand. "Please. There is no need for such formalities. We are friends here." He said calmly./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""... sorry." Ashe apologized./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""No need to, dear. Thanks to you and your aid, Princess Hana was able to free me. So, I thank you for that." He said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""By the way, what happened to the forces that were attacking us?" Satya asked./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""They have been purified." Sanzang said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Purified? You mean that they were controlled?" Ashe said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. That dark and ancient power of Talon has the power to corrupt and make any rational being into a puppet without free will. They will only have the intelligence to follow orders and t act in the name of Talon." Sanzang said. Then his shoulders and head lowered a bit while floating to the edge. "I felt a disturbance on the energies of Nature... but I was too late to inform about this group who took the name of Talon. They found a strange crystal with part of Talon's power. Not even I knew about the existence of that crystal. That is the reason why this group could corrupt so many with such efficiency." He the turned to look at his audience. "They used its power to invade Nepal. I tried to fight with all of my power against its dark power. But in the end, I was defeated, and stripped of a great amount of my power. Power which was used to attack Busan during the Festival."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""But you survived until the Princess freed you." Zhuque said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""It was a struggle. But yes, I did survive. I used what little power was left to preserve myself. I felt the Princess' presence on Eichenwalde, but also knew that Talon was seeking Wujing's Hammer. I knew that Wujing wouldn't stand a chance fighting the dark power, so I remained silent, keeping myself."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Had I know that you were a prisoner from the begging, I would have-" Sanzang interrupted Wujing./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""There was nothing you could have done, Wujing. The only thing that kept you connected to this world was your Hammer, which you lend to Balderich when you were injured. Had Talon gotten the Hammer, you would have-" Sanzang cut himself before saying his worst possible nightmare. A nightmare all Servants share: becoming a puppet of Talon. "That is why I waited until now to make my situation known." He finished./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Wujing only looked to the ground, understanding his dear friend's words and motives. Zhuque looked to Hana's form, not wanting to think about Sanzang's nightmare./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""What happened to the Princess?" Zhuque said, changing the subject./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""She's just tired. She used most of her energy to dissipate the hallucination she was in and to destroy my prison. Don't worry, Zhuque. She's fine." He said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""If you say so." Zhuque added, lifting Hana bridal style, with her head over the Servant's left shoulder./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""We oughta go and check the other group. They fought hard fights. And the ones who were corrupted will be confused if they lost recent memories. And the Princess need a place to rest." Ashe proposed./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Good idea. The villagers might want to eliminate Talon's former troops. We have to explain them about their situation." Wujing said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""It'd be best if Sanzang explain that to them." Satya said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed, my friend. They will understand with me explaining them." Sanzang agreed./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Let us go, then." Wujing said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: center;" align="center"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"***********/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""... after that, we went to the Shrine. We found the survivors tiding the unconscious Talon forces. It at that moment where Sanzang asked them to untie them, explaining the situation to them." Zhuque said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I guess that some didn't agree with that." Hana said, getting more comfortable over Zhuque's lap as the Servant caress her hair, extending her legs across the bed bellow the blankets and placing her hands over her waist. Her period's pain disappeared a while ago./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Yes. But they trusted Sanzang's words. And true to them, when the ex Talon forces woke, they were confused. The last thing they could remember was that a group came to them and then nothing. It was the same to every single person. When they heard about what happened to them and what they did, few flashbacks returned to their minds. They were so sorry, and said that they didn't have any control over them. They described those facts like an endless dream. A superior force was controlling them."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""At least they are now free." Hana said smiling./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. But some cannot forgive themselves for what they did. Sanzang spoke with them, claiming that they weren't in control, that it was not their fault. The elders agreed with Sanzang, and offered them a place in Nepal, to rebuild and to show that Sanzang's teachings were learned. Some other villagers didn't agree on that, saying that they destroyed Nepal and killed loved ones."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""There will always be people who won't agree on something if their hearts are damaged." Hana said with sadness. "I feel sad for them. They lost loved ones. But they also need to learn how to forgive. It wasn't those former troops their fault that they got captured by Talon and were forced to do terrible things. For me, that's enough excuse to be forgiven." Hana said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Not everyone thinks like you do, Princess. People will always differ on their own believes." Zhuque said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""That's ok. Everyone is free to think and do what they want, as long as their actions don't harm or clash the rest freedom." Hana said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""That's a great thing to say, Princess."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""But with Talon." Hana shook her head. "They only want to cause chaos and despair. They use and force other people to be their army. They do not care about others. And that is why we cannot let them have freedom, because they cause harm to others." Hana said serious./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Zhuque remained silent, not knowing what to say. 'span class="Ninguno"emShe's gotten wiser, even by a bit. That's Sanzang's teaching to her./em/span' She thought./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""By the way Zhuque. Who undress and dresses my into this gown? And what happened to Yuna and the rest of the villagers?" Hana asked looking up to Zhuque./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I was the one who undressed and dressed you into that gown. Then I put you into the bed before I set the fire to heat the room. And as to what happened to Yuna and the others... well..."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: center;" align="center"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"*************/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"When they reached the Shrine, Zhuge was the first to spot them. He approached and hug Sanzang tightly, apologizing for not staying with him before the Festival's attack./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""There is no need to apologize, old friend. You felt that you were needed there. You should not blame yourself for this." Sanzang said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Zhuge looked down. "I'm grateful of tour words, mu friend." He then looked again to Sanzang. "Enough talking. We shall end this pleasant chat later. We must help those who were controlled by Talon."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. I take it you felt the dark presence leaving their body, yes?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Zhuge nodded and then looked to Zhuque, who was carrying Hana. Concerned he got closer to her. "Will she be alright?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Oh yes. She's just tired by freeing Sanzang." Zhuque then looked to Hana's sleeping face. "It seems that she's having pleasant dreams."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. But though I know you want to take care of her, I must ask you to aid us with the former troops."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I understand. I will go to the village and put her on her room. Then I will return to help you." Zhuque answered./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""You may go, Zhuque. We can take care here until your return." Wujing said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Thanks. I won't take long." She said. But before she could take off, Yuna's voice was heard./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""You made it!" She said approaching with Dae and Jesse. "We saw the light that healed us! We are grateful for-" it was then that Yuna noticed Hana being carried by Zhuque. "That happened to the Princess?" She asked,/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""She's just tired. But she's fine. Don't worry. I'm concerned about you, Yuna. How did you manage?" Zhuque asked./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I... We managed, but with some difficulties." She said looking down. Then looked to Dae and smiled before looking again to her. "But Dae came just in time to help us with some reinforcements. That gave us enough strength to continue fighting until Sanzang's liberation."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Of it wasn't for him and the group her brought, we would have failed on the distraction." Jesse added./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I thank you, Dae. I know it's hard to fight the fear. But you did an honorable thing. You have our gratitude." Wujing said, placing a hand on Dae's shoulder./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"He looked away, but nodded nonetheless./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""We were waiting for you before we send a party claiming that we won. But Talon forces are unconscious and we didn't know what to do. Zhuge told us that they no longer belong to Talon, that they were being controlled by his dark influence." Yuna said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed they were, young Yuna. When Princess Hana freed me, I used my power to heal all of you and to dissipate the dark influence that was controlling these poor souls. They are not to be blamed, for they were forced to do such things." Sanzang said,/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""But the rest of the villagers won't accept that." Yuna said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""What we learned about forgiveness, Yuna?" Sanzang asked./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yuna was taken aback by that question, but answered it. "That it can set you free from your prison of hatred and anger. It allows us to get inner peace and to have a better understanding of other's actions. It can heal you and help you to move forward, helping you to not waste energy on thinking the bad things that happened."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Good. And that is why we must help these people. Those who cannot forgive, we must help. Everyone can ve redeemed. Never forget that." Sanzang said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I knew from the beginning that you'd come jus' fine." Jesse said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Of course. Between the two of us, I'm the luckier one." Ashe answered in the same mocking way Jesse did./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Hm. I see. Well, good to have you all safe and sound. Orisa and Genji are helpful the rest of us. Especially those who have fallen." He said bitterly./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I wish I could bring them back, but I require an amount of magic that I currently don't possess. I am sorry." Zhuque said, looking sad./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Don't worry, Zhuque. Their sacrifice shall be remembered and honored by the next generations." Wujing said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""E... even though we lost many..." Yuna said suppressing a sob. "w-we have freed Nepal."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. Now, Zhuque, it'd be best if you take off and return back to the Village to tell everyone about the victory we have all achieved." Sanzang said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Zhuque nodded and immediately took off back to the Village./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: center;" align="center"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"**************/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""... and when I arrived at the Village, people started asking questions. I answered them as best as I could, but then I told them that I needed to treat you. After I placed you here, safe, I explained everything to them. As you may have guessed, some weren't happy nor willing to accept Talon's former troops. Some even wanted revenge on them." Zhuque said,/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""But they didn't. I take it that one of the elders persuaded them?" Hana asked. Zhuque nodded./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. For now, those once controlled by Talon are being kept at the Shrine. Sanzang spends most his time there since yesterday, helping them to forgive themselves."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I'm glad everything went well after Sanzang's liberation. Id like to see Sanzang to thank him." Hana said sitting over the bed. When she was about to stand, Zhuque grabbed her gently by her right hand./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Remember that you are on your period, Princess. And as your tradition dictates: 'The Princess Heir of the Dragon isn't allowed to exit her quarters for five days, and only few trusted maids and guards can enter her quarters'." She said. Hana groaned in annoyance, remembering now her tradition./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""But I want to see Sanzang and the rest of the villagers!" She complained, trying to convince Zhuque to let her go. Ever since Zhuque's revelation to her, Hana has seen the Servant as her own mother. Don't get her wrong, she also has seen Mei and Zarya as her other mothers, but they were in a respectful manner towards each other. A manner of position's respect. They may suggest her what to do and how to take care of a situation. With Lena is a relationship of friends, vest friends in fact. Nothing more. With Brigitte and Fareeha is a sister-sister relationship, where they trust each other, but never leaving the respect to her. All of them love her, and she loves them back. But with Zhuque.. it's completely different. A new level. Hana feels safe, protected, loved as well. But not any love. It's a mother's love. A love that a mother would have to her child, by doing anything to make sure her child is fine. And where the child will do anything to please its mother? An utopian kind of love, yet with Zhuque it feels real./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Because of that love, Hana sighed and nodded./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Ok. I will stay in my quarters for five days." She said sitting back on the bed./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Zhuque smiled as she watched the young Princess sitting back on the bed. "Thanks. And don't worry about getting bored. I will keep you company. But I must tell to our companions about your situation, alright?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Alright. But after the five days are over, I wanna talk with Sanzang!" She demanded in a childish way, making both of them to laugh./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Ok, ok. I promise that." Zhuque said standing./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Can you bring me something to eat, please? I'm starving." Hana said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Of course! I will bring you something to eat. Anything in specific?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Hana shook her head. "Whatever you bring is enough. I just want to fill my stomach."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span style="text-align: center;""Ok. Be right back!" And with that, Zhuque exited the room, leaving Hana alone once again on her room./span/p

p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"She kept her left hand on her belly while using the right one to help her sit. Looking around, she found the fireplace with fire, warming the room. Hana took a deep breath before speaking./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""What happened?" She said but then had to lay on her side as more pain erupted from her pelvis. Then, the door opened and she heard someone entering./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Zhuque?" Hana asked through the pain./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Oh my! You are awake!" Zhuque said, but then she felt Hana's pain." Are you alright, Princess?" She said approaching the bed. She placed her hands over Hana's head, gathering magic on her palms./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I'm in my period, Zhuque." Hana said, getting closer to the Servant's touch./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Zhuque formed an 'Oh' on her mouth. She then moved her left hand to Hana's belly, making the pain to go away a bit, Hana to sigh in relief./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I wonder why you didn't have it last month." Zhuque said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Maybe because I was too stressed?" Hana said in an asking way./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Could be." Zhuque said feeling Hana relaxing on her embrace. "Have always you period this painful, Princess?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Sort of. Tal always says that as long as I bleed, there is no problem." Hana said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Tal?" Zhuque asked./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""A woman who works with Fareeha and Miss Mei. She used to be a battle medic before serving on the palace on Busan. But little is known about her." Hana explained, placing her head on the Servant's lap. "She taught me about... taught me about... um..." Hana blushed at Tal's teachings about male and female only laughed, making Hana to hide her head more on the Servan't lap./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I know what you meant to say, Princess." Zhuque said, caressing Hana's head, still laughing./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""D-don't laugh!" Hana said, her voice muffled by the ancient woman's clothes as her blush intensified, turning pink her ears./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Zhuque placed her right fist near her mouth and cleared her throat, trying to stop herself from laughing, but her smile was still on her face as she shook her head. 'span class="Ninguno"em16 years old, and she still is embarrassed when thinking or talking about sex. But at least I don't have to have /em/spanthat span class="Ninguno"emtalk with her. Tal did a good job./em/span' Zhuque thought. She then felt Hana's head moving again. She looked down and found Hana's face looking at her, though her face was still red from her recent blush./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""By the way, Zhuque. What happened with Sanzang? Was he freed? And how I got here? And who changed my clothes?" Hana asked but Zhuque placed a finger on her mouth with a sweet smile, silencing her./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Let me answer each question by telling you what happened yesterday yes?" Zhuque said, starting to tell Hana what happened after she used her powers to free Sanzang./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: center;" align="center"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"**************/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"When the light vanished a bit, you could see Sanzang with his arms extended, his other six mystical arms appeared. On the ground a golden image of a Dragon appeared./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""span class="Ninguno"emPass! Into the Dragon's Wing!/em/span" He said. The image on the ground then opened its mouth and its wings opened and extended through the ground to all directions across all Nepal, reaching the village and the Shrine shining brightly./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The magic of Sanzang both healed and purified everyone inside of it. Talon's forces were purified and those injured were healed like the villagers. After their purification, the army of Talon fell to the ground unconscious./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Slowly, the light diminished and Sanzang relaxed, letting himself to levitate above the ground. Then he extended his arms to catch Hana before she fell to the ground. She was unconscious with a new pink mark on her right cheek, just above her jaw, like the first mark she got on Eichenwalde./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Sanzang!" Wujing said approaching him./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Greetings, dear friend." He calmly said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Princess!" Zhuque said as she stood and took Hana from Sanzang's hands. "And, it is good to see you again, Sanzang." She added quickly./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""The pleasure is mine, Zhuque, Wujing. And to our guests." Sanzang said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Ashe, Bob and Satya got closer, not believing their eyes./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I... we are honored of your presence, Sanzang." Ahse said bowing. Satya and Bob following example./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Sanzang lifted his right hand. "Please. There is no need for such formalities. We are friends here." He said calmly./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""... sorry." Ashe apologized./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""No need to, dear. Thanks to you and your aid, Princess Hana was able to free me. So, I thank you for that." He said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""By the way, what happened to the forces that were attacking us?" Satya asked./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""They have been purified." Sanzang said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Purified? You mean that they were controlled?" Ashe said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. That dark and ancient power of Talon has the power to corrupt and make any rational being into a puppet without free will. They will only have the intelligence to follow orders and t act in the name of Talon." Sanzang said. Then his shoulders and head lowered a bit while floating to the edge. "I felt a disturbance on the energies of Nature... but I was too late to inform about this group who took the name of Talon. They found a strange crystal with part of Talon's power. Not even I knew about the existence of that crystal. That is the reason why this group could corrupt so many with such efficiency." He the turned to look at his audience. "They used its power to invade Nepal. I tried to fight with all of my power against its dark power. But in the end, I was defeated, and stripped of a great amount of my power. Power which was used to attack Busan during the Festival."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""But you survived until the Princess freed you." Zhuque said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""It was a struggle. But yes, I did survive. I used what little power was left to preserve myself. I felt the Princess' presence on Eichenwalde, but also knew that Talon was seeking Wujing's Hammer. I knew that Wujing wouldn't stand a chance fighting the dark power, so I remained silent, keeping myself."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Had I know that you were a prisoner from the begging, I would have-" Sanzang interrupted Wujing./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""There was nothing you could have done, Wujing. The only thing that kept you connected to this world was your Hammer, which you lend to Balderich when you were injured. Had Talon gotten the Hammer, you would have-" Sanzang cut himself before saying his worst possible nightmare. A nightmare all Servants share: becoming a puppet of Talon. "That is why I waited until now to make my situation known." He finished./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Wujing only looked to the ground, understanding his dear friend's words and motives. Zhuque looked to Hana's form, not wanting to think about Sanzang's nightmare./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""What happened to the Princess?" Zhuque said, changing the subject./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""She's just tired. She used most of her energy to dissipate the hallucination she was in and to destroy my prison. Don't worry, Zhuque. She's fine." He said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""If you say so." Zhuque added, lifting Hana bridal style, with her head over the Servant's left shoulder./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""We oughta go and check the other group. They fought hard fights. And the ones who were corrupted will be confused if they lost recent memories. And the Princess need a place to rest." Ashe proposed./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Good idea. The villagers might want to eliminate Talon's former troops. We have to explain them about their situation." Wujing said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""It'd be best if Sanzang explain that to them." Satya said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed, my friend. They will understand with me explaining them." Sanzang agreed./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Let us go, then." Wujing said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: center;" align="center"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"***********/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""... after that, we went to the Shrine. We found the survivors tiding the unconscious Talon forces. It at that moment where Sanzang asked them to untie them, explaining the situation to them." Zhuque said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I guess that some didn't agree with that." Hana said, getting more comfortable over Zhuque's lap as the Servant caress her hair, extending her legs across the bed bellow the blankets and placing her hands over her waist. Her period's pain disappeared a while ago./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Yes. But they trusted Sanzang's words. And true to them, when the ex Talon forces woke, they were confused. The last thing they could remember was that a group came to them and then nothing. It was the same to every single person. When they heard about what happened to them and what they did, few flashbacks returned to their minds. They were so sorry, and said that they didn't have any control over them. They described those facts like an endless dream. A superior force was controlling them."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""At least they are now free." Hana said smiling./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. But some cannot forgive themselves for what they did. Sanzang spoke with them, claiming that they weren't in control, that it was not their fault. The elders agreed with Sanzang, and offered them a place in Nepal, to rebuild and to show that Sanzang's teachings were learned. Some other villagers didn't agree on that, saying that they destroyed Nepal and killed loved ones."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""There will always be people who won't agree on something if their hearts are damaged." Hana said with sadness. "I feel sad for them. They lost loved ones. But they also need to learn how to forgive. It wasn't those former troops their fault that they got captured by Talon and were forced to do terrible things. For me, that's enough excuse to be forgiven." Hana said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Not everyone thinks like you do, Princess. People will always differ on their own believes." Zhuque said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""That's ok. Everyone is free to think and do what they want, as long as their actions don't harm or clash the rest freedom." Hana said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""That's a great thing to say, Princess."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""But with Talon." Hana shook her head. "They only want to cause chaos and despair. They use and force other people to be their army. They do not care about others. And that is why we cannot let them have freedom, because they cause harm to others." Hana said serious./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Zhuque remained silent, not knowing what to say. 'span class="Ninguno"emShe's gotten wiser, even by a bit. That's Sanzang's teaching to her./em/span' She thought./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""By the way Zhuque. Who undress and dresses my into this gown? And what happened to Yuna and the rest of the villagers?" Hana asked looking up to Zhuque./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I was the one who undressed and dressed you into that gown. Then I put you into the bed before I set the fire to heat the room. And as to what happened to Yuna and the others... well..."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: center;" align="center"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"*************/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"When they reached the Shrine, Zhuge was the first to spot them. He approached and hug Sanzang tightly, apologizing for not staying with him before the Festival's attack./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""There is no need to apologize, old friend. You felt that you were needed there. You should not blame yourself for this." Sanzang said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Zhuge looked down. "I'm grateful of tour words, mu friend." He then looked again to Sanzang. "Enough talking. We shall end this pleasant chat later. We must help those who were controlled by Talon."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. I take it you felt the dark presence leaving their body, yes?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Zhuge nodded and then looked to Zhuque, who was carrying Hana. Concerned he got closer to her. "Will she be alright?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Oh yes. She's just tired by freeing Sanzang." Zhuque then looked to Hana's sleeping face. "It seems that she's having pleasant dreams."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. But though I know you want to take care of her, I must ask you to aid us with the former troops."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I understand. I will go to the village and put her on her room. Then I will return to help you." Zhuque answered./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""You may go, Zhuque. We can take care here until your return." Wujing said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Thanks. I won't take long." She said. But before she could take off, Yuna's voice was heard./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""You made it!" She said approaching with Dae and Jesse. "We saw the light that healed us! We are grateful for-" it was then that Yuna noticed Hana being carried by Zhuque. "That happened to the Princess?" She asked,/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""She's just tired. But she's fine. Don't worry. I'm concerned about you, Yuna. How did you manage?" Zhuque asked./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I... We managed, but with some difficulties." She said looking down. Then looked to Dae and smiled before looking again to her. "But Dae came just in time to help us with some reinforcements. That gave us enough strength to continue fighting until Sanzang's liberation."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Of it wasn't for him and the group her brought, we would have failed on the distraction." Jesse added./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I thank you, Dae. I know it's hard to fight the fear. But you did an honorable thing. You have our gratitude." Wujing said, placing a hand on Dae's shoulder./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"He looked away, but nodded nonetheless./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""We were waiting for you before we send a party claiming that we won. But Talon forces are unconscious and we didn't know what to do. Zhuge told us that they no longer belong to Talon, that they were being controlled by his dark influence." Yuna said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed they were, young Yuna. When Princess Hana freed me, I used my power to heal all of you and to dissipate the dark influence that was controlling these poor souls. They are not to be blamed, for they were forced to do such things." Sanzang said,/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""But the rest of the villagers won't accept that." Yuna said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""What we learned about forgiveness, Yuna?" Sanzang asked./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yuna was taken aback by that question, but answered it. "That it can set you free from your prison of hatred and anger. It allows us to get inner peace and to have a better understanding of other's actions. It can heal you and help you to move forward, helping you to not waste energy on thinking the bad things that happened."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Good. And that is why we must help these people. Those who cannot forgive, we must help. Everyone can ve redeemed. Never forget that." Sanzang said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I knew from the beginning that you'd come jus' fine." Jesse said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Of course. Between the two of us, I'm the luckier one." Ashe answered in the same mocking way Jesse did./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Hm. I see. Well, good to have you all safe and sound. Orisa and Genji are helpful the rest of us. Especially those who have fallen." He said bitterly./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I wish I could bring them back, but I require an amount of magic that I currently don't possess. I am sorry." Zhuque said, looking sad./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Don't worry, Zhuque. Their sacrifice shall be remembered and honored by the next generations." Wujing said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""E... even though we lost many..." Yuna said suppressing a sob. "w-we have freed Nepal."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. Now, Zhuque, it'd be best if you take off and return back to the Village to tell everyone about the victory we have all achieved." Sanzang said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Zhuque nodded and immediately took off back to the Village./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: center;" align="center"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"**************/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""... and when I arrived at the Village, people started asking questions. I answered them as best as I could, but then I told them that I needed to treat you. After I placed you here, safe, I explained everything to them. As you may have guessed, some weren't happy nor willing to accept Talon's former troops. Some even wanted revenge on them." Zhuque said,/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""But they didn't. I take it that one of the elders persuaded them?" Hana asked. Zhuque nodded./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Indeed. For now, those once controlled by Talon are being kept at the Shrine. Sanzang spends most his time there since yesterday, helping them to forgive themselves."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""I'm glad everything went well after Sanzang's liberation. Id like to see Sanzang to thank him." Hana said sitting over the bed. When she was about to stand, Zhuque grabbed her gently by her right hand./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Remember that you are on your period, Princess. And as your tradition dictates: 'The Princess Heir of the Dragon isn't allowed to exit her quarters for five days, and only few trusted maids and guards can enter her quarters'." She said. Hana groaned in annoyance, remembering now her tradition./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""But I want to see Sanzang and the rest of the villagers!" She complained, trying to convince Zhuque to let her go. Ever since Zhuque's revelation to her, Hana has seen the Servant as her own mother. Don't get her wrong, she also has seen Mei and Zarya as her other mothers, but they were in a respectful manner towards each other. A manner of position's respect. They may suggest her what to do and how to take care of a situation. With Lena is a relationship of friends, vest friends in fact. Nothing more. With Brigitte and Fareeha is a sister-sister relationship, where they trust each other, but never leaving the respect to her. All of them love her, and she loves them back. But with Zhuque.. it's completely different. A new level. Hana feels safe, protected, loved as well. But not any love. It's a mother's love. A love that a mother would have to her child, by doing anything to make sure her child is fine. And where the child will do anything to please its mother? An utopian kind of love, yet with Zhuque it feels real./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Because of that love, Hana sighed and nodded./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Ok. I will stay in my quarters for five days." She said sitting back on the bed./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Zhuque smiled as she watched the young Princess sitting back on the bed. "Thanks. And don't worry about getting bored. I will keep you company. But I must tell to our companions about your situation, alright?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Alright. But after the five days are over, I wanna talk with Sanzang!" She demanded in a childish way, making both of them to laugh./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Ok, ok. I promise that." Zhuque said standing./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Can you bring me something to eat, please? I'm starving." Hana said./span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Of course! I will bring you something to eat. Anything in specific?"/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Hana shook her head. "Whatever you bring is enough. I just want to fill my stomach."/span/p
p class="Cuerpo" style="text-align: justify;"span style="text-align: center;""Ok. Be right back!" And with that, Zhuque exited the room, leaving Hana alone once again on her room./span/p
