Fou-lu and Mami
Chapter 3
The forest was quiet... too quiet for Fou-lu indeed. Staying on his guards and walking slowly, step by step, he was looking around. Gazes to the left, then the right, the front and back, he saw nothing at all. After some walking he saw two paths, a left one and straight one. "Tis wise if I taketh thy left one to begin mine search." he said to himself as he walked to the direction he chosed.
After a few minutes, all he saw was a dead end, but he felt that something was nearby. He shrugged the feeling off and turned around to leave. As he did, a montruous beast jumped out of its hidding: a Papan, roaring at Fou-lu, its supposed to be victim. He turned around, not impressed at all and looked at the monster, thinking again. "Could tis be thy endless's presence that turns animals into monsters?" he thought as his sword materialized in his hand, a sword made out of light. "Hmph! Let's put an end to tis!" he yelled as he dashed out, almost teleported near the monster. Swinging the blade of his sword, the sharp blade penetrated the flesh of the beast's guts, managed to make a small gash. Fou-lu flipped back and sighed "High defense, but foolish to fight me...." he said.
The monster roared and swinged its trunk to the Endless, managing to hit him in the ribs. Clenching his teeths at the shock and stepping backward, Fou-lu regained his composure and recovered very quickly from the hit. "Hmph! Thou art foolish... trying to defeat a god!" he said angrily as he concentrated. His body started to float as a beam of orange light surrounded him. "AAAAAH" he screamed as he was morphing into the Tyrant dragon. "Let see if you can resist this attack!" he said loudly as he released his ultimate attack: the Tyrant Breath. His body changing once more, he flied off into space and stood in front of the moon. He let out his breath from its mouth and it hit the Papan dead on. Fou-lu reappeared back to the battle zone, his body shifthing back to normal as the monster screamed and reverted back into a gentle creature.
Silent, the Emperor walked back to the village of Son where he was greeted with the villagers, who were in awe. Mami ran to Fou-lu and hugged him tightly. "Oh are you okay? Did'ja get hurt?!" she said really quickly as Fou-lu chuckled and returned the hug gently. "I am fine... thou must not worry about me..." he whispered in her ear softly. "Ya need some rest ya look worned out Riyong…" she said as everyone left to their houses. Fou-lu nodded in approval, seeing it was getting dark. The girl took gently his hand and draggued him home.
Along the way to her house, Mami fell asleep right in the middle of the road. Smiling softly, he picked her up in his strong arms and carried her home. She was exausted from the event and her work, Fou-lu could understand that she was fragile. Entering the house, he lied her down on the bed and sat down besides her, pressing his back on the wall. His eyes about to close, he felt Mami moved her head to his chest. He looked at her as she was snuggling close to him. Blushing, the Endless ran his fingers throught her soft hair and kissed her lips with tenderness, by bending his head down near hers. "I... love thee... Mami..." he whispered as his eyes closed.
All night, he stayed by her side, sleeping, with his left arm around her waist.
