Lafarga blinked, looking out at the endless miles of trees when a roar
spilt the air. Hikaru drew her sword and rushed into the clearing, quickly
dispatching the worm like monsters that spewed molten fire and lava.
Lafarga rushed to the part of the village that Hikaru could not cover, his
long blond ponytail whipping behind him. Soon his batches of monsters were
destroyed when Hikaru's cry caught his ears.
"Lafarga!!" Hikaru screamed straining against the grip the monster held her in. The monster looked down at her hungrily opened its mouth wide and ice shot out, trapping her legs together, preventing escape. As soon as these was down the monster turned and fled into the woods followed by two more like it.
Lafarga ran after them, darting past Hikaru's fallen sword. He soon caught with the third monster, slicing it in half, never pausing in his pace. Running deeper into the forest he came upon the second monster, jumped into the air released high-pressured winds from his sword, disintegrating the monster. In a few short minutes, which felt like all eternity, he found the leader, ready to eat a bound Hikaru. With a roar, Lafarga lunged at the monster, which flung Hikaru into a tree, knocking her into oblivion. The monster swiped at Lafarga, who ducked slicing upward, cutting the monster's arm. Deep blue/green blood flowed from the wound, the monster roaring in pain and anger. Lafarga ducked and rolled, dodging the ice shooting from its mouth. Finding an opening, he swung his sword upon releasing the high-pressure winds, distracting it when he lunged and his sword plunged through the monster, it dead before it touched the ground. Flicking the blood off his blade, sheathing it, before remembering his fallen companion. Lafarga rushed to Hikaru's side, lifting her into his lap, cradling her head. He would never forgive himself if she died and neither would the others. Finding no pulse, he laid her back on the ground, and began administering mouth-to-mouth-resisitation (CPR). As he was about to pump her chest again, her racking coughs brought her back to reality. Hikaru looked up at him, tears rolling down her cheeks, and he held her, not knowing of anything else to do. After some time passed, Lafarga picked her up, as she had fallen asleep. Quickly contacting Clef and telling him they would be staying at the village, Hikaru far to tired to use any magic. As they entered the village, the people cautiously peeked out of their homes, and when they saw the figures gasps ran through them, the Pillar.
"The Pillar need bed rest, as well as food." Lafarga shouted and was quickly shown an inn, telling the people that no one touch the Pillar's sword and to leave it as it was.
Lafarga laid Hikaru on a bed, tucking her in to be as comfortable as possible. Lafarga settled down into a chair next to the bed. His exhaustion soon caught up with him and he could no longer keep his eyes open. That night Lafarga dreamed.
Lafarga saw opened his eyes, to the morning sun, blinking lazily, thinking of nothing that had to be done immediate. He smiled into the sunlight, feeling more content than he had in ages. Stretching his arms behind his head, about to go back to sleep. Something rolled next to him and stretched also, laying her head on his shoulder. Lafarga looked down expecting to see Caldina but saw a very tired but satisfied Hikaru. Lafarga felt his eyes go wide, Hikaru smiled and snuggled closer to him and leaned up and gave him a kiss on the lips.
"Morning, thought you'd sleep later" Hikaru smiled again, and stretched, the sheet barely covering her very naked form. Lafarga could only stare and Hikaru smile michviously.
"Maybe your subconscious is trying to tell you something Lafarga. Go back to sleep." And he did.
Lafarga shot straight up in his chair, sweat rolling down his face, what was that about?
