LOVE CLASH PART 8:
DRAGON RIVALRY, SIBLING WAR:
WALK ON THE PATH YOU'VE CHOSEN,
DON'T LOOK BACK,
FORGE IN FRONT WITH BRAVERY,
DON'T RUN COWARDLY,
FACE YOUR FEAR WITH OPEN HEART,
DON'T HIDE BEHIND YOUR THOUGHT,
CALL OUT THE CHALLENGE,
DARE HIM TO COME OUT FROM HIS SHELL,
LIGHT UP THE ARENA,
STAND STRONG OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE!
(GRANDFATHER'S ADVICE)
Dark and gloomy night, the King slept in his own huge chamber. His head shook to his left and right, mumbling a word of forgiveness and regrets. He's having a horrible nightmare. Nobody to wake him up, isolated from the reality, alone in his own grave of sadness, the King slept recklessly that night.
Kunzite took a step back. Serenity helped Seiya to his feet; her eyes were watery due to see his bruised face. How it tore her inside seeing the one she loved so dearly been badly injured like that. "I'm alright, Serenity," Seiya assured her, looking straight at the rude general once again, " I have spare your cursed body not to be damned, and this is what I get?! You shall know that I will remember this day for the rest of my life! General! Be gone, or we shall really be in a war!!" he yelled out while rubbing the tasteless blood at the side of his mouth with the back his hand. Serenity ignored his cursing at the general instead tearing off a bit of her fabric to wipe clean his bloody face. "Serenity why did you do that for? You know that dress is expensive," he muttered full toned. "What is this expensive treasures ever have in comparing your love for me," she complied and wiped gently at his bruised lips and chin. Seiya had tears in his eyes, praying a silent gratitude to the gods for giving him the most beautiful woman he had ever imagined and to love him so deeply and dearly to top it all.
The Queen was still crying in his bed. Endymion leaned against the wall facing the window and was deep in thought. He suddenly frowned in thinking the possibilities that Seiya might have from him. Being the first child has every right to be king, taking in charge of the battle, control the army and most of all have the first right to marry a princess. HIS princess! Sorrow crept in his handsome face and spontaneously whispered, "Serenity!" he rushed to his door, swung it open and ran to her highness chamber. The Queen stared in horror, her heart had been in pieces in the past but now the old wound began to appear once again, thinking that Endymion would do something horrible to Seiya, she ran behind him. Mother's love would never die even for her forgotten child.
Before Seiya could hear his explanation, Zoisite appeared from the west side camp. He stared in confusion when he first saw the captain's bruised face. Puzzled he asked Kunzite what had happen but the white haired general didn't answer him and was just staring at Seiya. The look of guilt was shown in his pale blue eyes, not knowing what he was doing he accidentally bowed at Seiya a little and turned to leave. Serenity narrowed her eyes in disbelief. "Does my eyes deceive me or was that a bow I saw?"
Seiya too was stunned at Kunzite's sudden change of reaction towards him but he still hold the anger for the fair general. Zoisite seemed lost and ran to the other general that was already far away.
Jadeite watched the angry prince stomping towards his direction. Taking a deep breath, he bowed lightly at his presence. "Open the door!" was all he heard as he bowed. Nodding slightly, he slid the key into the keyhole and twitched it opened. Endymion dashed in to the room in search of his little princess but she wasn't there. "Where is she!" he shouted. Jadeite 's heart almost dropped in hearing his prince yelling at him as though he was a servant. "I…I do not know my lord but I assure you, I didn't even leave this position nor open the door for her." He answered warily. He was so frustrated and like an evil had possessed him he punched hard at Jadeite, sending the blond general to the ground. "I have ordered you to do one simple task and you failed miserably!" Endymion cursed the fallen general. "Forgive me, my lord," he struggled to his feet. "Find her!" Endymion walked out of the room and stared at his mother that was standing behind the door. "Endy, what's got in to you?" she asked concerned about his behavior. A sharp glared from Endymion silent the queen. He walked away, hands clutched tightly, ready to fight to whomever that tried to stand in his way.
"Seiya, I have to go now. I'll be dead if Endymion finds out that I'm not in my room," she gently touched his handsome face. "Don't go…" he whispered in her ear. Serenity blushed uncontrollably and as she looked up, she was lost in his deep blue eyes. Closing his eyes, his mouth agape slightly he slowly moved in for the kiss. Waiting ever so patiently, Serenity closed her eyes and they met in a searing kiss.
Far in Kinmok planet, the lonely princess stood by her balcony every single day, hoping for her secret beloved returned to her safely. In her hands was the piece of paper that he wrote before he left. "Seiya, please return to me soon," she whispered softly.
"Two more days, and farewell Earth," she thought as she made her way in to the palace but a ruffled sound was heard at the nearby roses' bushes. "Who's there?" she stammered boldly and an old man appeared behind it. Serenity jumped back surprised. "Did I startled you, milady, let me introduce myself. I'm Niqmat, Earth Kingdom's trusted sorcerer. I also predict the kingdom's future." He reached out for the princess hand and his lips barely touched her skin when she roughly retreated her hand. "A pleasure to meet you Niqmat, but I have to be in my chamber now," she turned to leave when Niqmat asked if she is interested to hear the kingdom's future. Without turning back she shook her head in disapproval. "But you re in it," he said slyly. Serenity abruptly stopped in her track and turned furiously towards him. "How dare you!"
"Alas, I have your undivided attention my dear. I have a riddle for you, but not to be solve." He laughed sinisterly as he speaks. She narrowed her eyes. "Knowledge is mightier than the Sword, Might is greater than the Magic, the two dragons were awaken by a strange pure light and thus led them to their deaths. Both power equal strong, that they will crush the stars and bring all the planets collide with one another. Until only one will survive that is the savior of time, red liquid washed throughout the land, the dragon slayer won it all!" Niqmat laughed hysterically and it scares Serenity to the bone. She shook her head and made a run for it. Niqmat however continued to laugh boisterously. His eyes followed the princess's body curve. "The slayer rules it all!" he whispered and gave a sarcastic smile.
