Jono was on her way back home when she heard someone yell, "LEAVE ME ALONE!" she immediately rushed in the direction of the voice she heard. She ran without ever relent until she came upon seeing two nymphs kicking at a… 'LITTLE KID?!' she screamed in her head. She couldn't believe it; two full grown nymphs were literally beating the crap out of a small child!

"HEY!" she yelled in anger. "What the hell do you think you are doing to that poor child?!"

They both turned to her, she then recognized them; they were both Dahlia and Lilith, the nymphs that had their own water pretty close to hers. They never seemed like mean people, but she guessed that she was wrong about them in the first place. "Oh, hey, Jono!" Lilith called back with a bright smile on her face. Dahlia smiled back as well and nodded her head.

"Don't greet me like that when you hurting an INNOCENT child right in front of me!" Jono looked at them incredulously.

"Innocent? Jono this kid is an elf! They are our enemies!" Dahlia replied back in a kind of "DUH" manner, actually seeming to be confused as to Jono's ignorance on the matter.

"Yeah, Jono, just whose side you on anyway, our king's side or the enemy king's side?!" Lilith asked skeptically.

"I'm not on anyone's side! Personally, I think this war is a bunch of horse crap! Plus, I believe a person is innocent until proven guilty, no matter their species, so tell me right now what has this kid done that he deserves such a brutal punishment?" She replied back sternly. She looked at the boy and saw the many bruises across his arms and blood dripping down his nose. Said kid looked up at Jono with tears running down his face from beautiful grey eyes that held pain in their expression.

Both Dahlia and Lilith looked at each other and then looked down to the elf kid. Then Lilith answered back "Him being born as an elf is a guilty enough reason for what we are doing to him."

"Not a good enough answer for me, so right now you have two options, one , you can leave right now or I can beat you both into a bloody pulp so bad you won't be able to move because I'll break every bone in your cursed bodies! And as far as I know, I'm the only healer within 100 miles from here and I won't heal you so take your pick." Jono said in a deep menacing voice that clearly portrayed how furiously mad she was.

Dahlia and Lilith froze at what she said, the two looked at one another, taking into consideration that Jono always keeps her word, and both thought 'It's not worth it…' After that, they left without a sound of complaint, or disagreement.

Jono walked up to little boy and asked in a soft comforting voice "Hey, are you alright? Do you think you can stand up? Where does it hurt at and I'll heal it."

The elf kid looked up at her and saw big caring brown eyes looking down on him with sadness in their whirlpool of emotions. He answered back "I think I can stand but it feels like it hurts…everywhere, but why did you defend me? Aren't you a nymph?"

She giggled a little "Well because I don't look at 'what' people are, I look at 'who' they are first. Along with that comes a belief, = I don't think you are guilty of anything besides sneaking out by yourself. Do your parents know where you are?"

"Well, it's really complicated right now but long story short, my dad's sick and I'm trying to find a healer to help him." Completely left out the whole 'Yeah, my dad's the elven king' part of the story, 'I'm not too sure if this person is completely trust worthy, I thinks it's best to wait a bit.'

"Well I'm the best healer in this area and I'm very willing to help." Jono said reassuringly.

"We don't know what it is, how he's sick, or even when he got sick in the first place. Dad always pretended to be well when he wasn't." he explained.

"Well first off, before we get too deep in the situation, I would like to ask you for a name." She said with a charming smile.

"Oh! Sorry, I haven't introduced myself, my name's Mokuba." He said quickly. Then he thought 'Oh crap! I just said my REAL name, what if she recognizes that I'm the younger elven prince?!"

"Hello Mokuba, my name's Jono and it's very nice to meet you!" She said with the truest sincerity. "Now, how about we take care of your injuries?"

"Oh well, I don't know how to pay you, I don't have any money or anything valuable to give in return for this…" He started warily.

Jono interrupted "It's fine, I never ask anything in return from people who visit me unless they need a potion or medicine. You don't need either one; you just need a good natural healing to clear up those bruises."

"Are you serious?! I've never met anyone who'll do stuff for free especially when it comes to healers in general." Mokuba said surprised. 'Huh… I guess there are still people like her…willing to do stuff for other people simply because she wants to help, not to gain anything in return.'

"Alright, it's settled then you can stay at my house until your bruises heal and you've had plenty of rest and food in that growing belly of yours." She said as she is poking his stomach for emphasis.

He laughed "Ah! Don't touch my belly like that…haha…it tickles…"

"So shall we get going?" She asked holding her hand to the boy.

He takes the hand offered to him and nods his head in enthusiasm.

Little did they both know, when they connected their hands together they just created a secret bond that will last both of their lifetimes.

~At the Elven Castle~

"WHAT?!"

"I'm sorry your majesty…but we couldn't find him anywhere"

The young prince, with bright blue eyes, sighs to other and says with a voice housing nothing but the purest annoyance at the incompetence of the supposed royal servants. "Just go…I know you looked everywhere for him and I give my thanks from my mother to you." Always playing the good prince, while inside his temper worsened by the moment.

"Thank you, my prince, but we shall not stop looking for prince Mokuba anytime soon."

"Do whatever you want." He was NOT having a good day today. 'Where the hell are you, Mokuba?' he thought worriedly. First his father got sick and NO ONE was able to help AT ALL and then his mother got into a big frenzy because Mokuba had gone missing, and most importantly there are NO traces of where Mokuba even went, so everyone has no clue as to where to look for him. Now, he has to play king because his father is sick. And it's not that he really minds the work he has to do, it's because of EVERYTHING else that is NOT related to him being king.

'Mokuba, you better get home safe or else I just might go crazy and then dad won't have an heir to his precious throne' Seto thought to himself.

Seto won't need to worry, Mokuba will be coming home safe and sound but he will be bringing someone else with him that will change the very course of history between the nymphs and the elves, bringing either a bright future or a short end to what remains.

So, tell me what you think, I was on a roll this time, all thanks to the help of an amazing person, Keisuke-Osoka, who gave me, new and awesome ideas for this story, don't only thank me for writing it but also thank them helping me to write it as well.
