Chapter 3
Late the next night Hagard was walking by the Captain's tent, and heard Taichi and Ken talking about her. So she listened
"Taichi what was it that you were going to tell me about my wife?"
"When Hikari was a few years old the Old Mage Gennai came to our castle. He looked at her for a long time then told us 'Hikari is very special and will be important to all of Digialtalan. There will be a dark force that comes out of Hikarigaoka that will try to get her, if they get a hold of her they'll destroy all nations who try to save her. Her existence is vital, if she dies then so die the hopes of peace. But if she lives through this there will be everlasting peace throughout all the countries of Digialtalan.' If Hikari knew this she wouldn't care for the dangers, she'd come and help us anyways."
Suddenly she heard hoof beats behind her. She turned and saw a tall blond man on a golden horse followed by several others.
"Solider, where can I find Kings Ken and Taichi?"
"Yes sir, they are in this very tent." Hagard answered
"Good, watch the horses." He said as he and several others entered the tent. There were two women and two men that followed him, one of which looked as though he was related to the taller blond man.
She looked at the other men on the horses the best she could in the dim light. Hmm, a doctor, several well skilled warriors, *gasp* Daisuke! What is he doing here?
Inside the tent the man who was on the golden horse was talking with Taichi and Ken.
"I am King Yamato of Ishida. This is my wife Sora, her servant Miyako, my bother and bodyguard, Takeru and my other bodyguard Koushiro. We're willing to fight Oikawa by your side. He destroyed my kingdom and he must pay."
"Fine, but if you die I get your wife and land." Taichi stated.
"Only if you'll agree to the same thing."
"Done. But it doesn't count if we kill each other."
Of course not." Yamato said then he and his party left and put up their horses.
The next day they found some of Oikawa's troops. Many of his troops were killed. During the battle Marcus was hit with an arrow and in removing it the doctor, Jyou, found that 'he' was a 'she'.
Taichi entered to see how many of the soldiers were injured and dead.
"King Taichi, one of the soldiers isn't what he seems." Jyou warned him.
"What do you mean?"
"That soldier is a woman." He whispered, pointing to where Mimi lay.
Taichi walked over to her and instantly recognized her.
"I know her. That's my sister's lady in waiting. That means Hikari is here too!" Taichi said then left to inform Ken
"What! Hikari is here! Where?" Ken asked
"I've no idea, but I know she is here. Tell no one, lest Oikawa finds out." Taichi responded
"Didn't Mimi come with someone?"
"That's right. She called herself Marcus, and she was with someone named...Hagard! We have to find him, I mean her, before it's too late, but we can't let her know we know."
Late the next night Hagard was walking by the Captain's tent, and heard Taichi and Ken talking about her. So she listened
