Folken ran to block Allen from striking the girl. Their swords clashed and Allen tried to get his sword past Folken.

'Allen, she is just a child! You have no right to attack her!' Folken yelled angrily at Allen.

Allen pulled back and re-sheathed his sword. Folken did the same.

'Allen! How can you be so reckless?' Princess Eries asked him angrily. She was holding on to Dryden while Millerna held her from behind. Princess Eries had still to recover from her chase through the forest.

'I apologize Princess Eries, I thought you were being attacked....' Allen said, glancing back at the strange girl, she was being helped up by Folken.

'That is not very knightly, Allen...' Dryden scolded Allen, trying to get on his nerves. Allen winced at this remark.





~~~~Megami's POV~~~~





The man that had blocked the blonde haired man turned and helped Megami up from her place on the ground while the other people argued.

Megami had the strange feeling she had met the man with the aqua green hair before, but where?

The man wrapped his arms protectively around her.

'Are you alright?' He asked her. She looked up at him; she could see the concern in his eyes.

'I'm fine, but is the other woman alright?' Megami asked the man, she glanced over at the woman that was being helped by three other people.

'Princess Eries is fine.' The man reassured Megami.

'Princess..?' Megami mumbled to herself. She definitely wasn't at the camp anymore.

A boy with raven black hair walked up to them.

'Are you alright?' He asked her, he looked very stern.

Megami turned her head away; she could feel her cheeks burning with embarrassment.

'She is fine, Brother.' The man told the younger boy. The girl that had been helping the woman, Princess Eries, ran over to them.

'Von, go help Dryden take Eries back to the castle.' The girl told the boy, Von. The girl that had just run over had wavy blonde hair that went far past her shoulders. Her eyes were a light mauve color. She wore a pink shirt with black pants; the shirt went past her waist and was tied in a bow at her waist, with a black piece of cloth that looked like a belt. The girl had a dark pink bow in her hair.

'Hello there, are you hurt?' The girl asked Megami nicely. Megami shook her head sideways. 'Are you sure? Does it hurt anywhere?' The girl asked again, stepping closer to Megami.

'No...' Megami told her quietly.

'What's your name?' The man that was still holding her asked. Megami looked up at him.

'Me-Megami....' Megami replied shyly. The man had a shocked look on his face.





~~~~Folken's POV~~~~





'What's your name?' Folken asked the girl he was still holding in his arms. The girl looked up at him.

'Me-Megami...' The girl replied shyly. Folken was shocked, it was her! He had been thinking about this girl more and more lately for apparently no reason, but now that she was really here.....

'Goddess of the Sun.....' Folken mumbled to himself, he didn't know what to do.

'What was that Folken?' Millerna asked him, taking her attention off of the girl Megami.

'How'd you know my name?' Megami asked him.

'I..... I think we have met before.' Folken told her.

'You have?' Millerna asked. Folken shook his head.

'Yes, almost ten years ago....' Folken remembered that fateful day when the dragon had taken his arm.





~~~~Megami's POV~~~~





'How'd you know my name?' Megami asked him.

'I..... I think we have met before.' The man, Folken, told her.

'You have?' The girl asked. Folken shook his head.

'Yes, almost ten years ago....' Folken told them.

Megami couldn't believe that, ten years ago, she was just a week shy of being four years old. She didn't know if the man Folken was telling the truth or not.

'I don't expect you to remember. You looked only about three or four at the time.' Folken smiled down at Megami. Megami shook her head.

'Well, come on you two. We should go back to the castle; we can sort things out there.' The girl said, and the three of them set off to go to the castle.
