I managed to get up; I looked around almost no damage done. Some of the guards were dead most were injured, Steiner was still crying on the floor. His rusty armour must have saved him; Beatrix was out cold on the floor next to a dead dragon. A few dragons were still alive but nothing the rest the guards couldn't take care of. I had a few burns on my body. Garnet only had that cut.

 What happened?

 I couldn't remember what happened just before the beam hit. I looked down at Garnet and picked her up and headed for the hospital wing of the castle.

Why does Garland want me back? Why am I that important to him? Why attack Garnet to get to me? At least he didn't get Mikoto/

I was almost at the hospital wing. "HEY." I called out to one of the guards clearing up the castle. "Yeah you. The general is outside go and bring her to the hospital wing."

"Yes sir." He replied and ran off.

I went into the hospital wing and placed Garnet onto a bed. "She's got a massive cut on her back where she was sliced with a sword." I told the nurse.

"Sir Zidane, what about your burns? We need to treat them." She replied to what I said.

"No offence but fuck my burns, you can treat them once you've treated Garnet and Beatrix."

"Lady Beatrix is injured?"

"Yes, a guard is bringing her in."

As I said this the guard brought Beatrix in and placed her on the bed next to Garnet. "Anything else sir?" the guard said walking up to me.

"Yes, could you go and find Mikoto for me, and when you find her tell her to come to Garnet's room please."

"Of course sir."

With that he left. "I'm going to bed, if any of them wake up they are to stay here until I get back, can you do that for me please?"

"Sure sir, I'll just say doctor's orders."

"Thanks, I'm going to sleep I'll come down in the morning so you can check my burns."

"Ok sir, good night."

"Good night."

I walked up towards mine and Garnet's room.  I felt sad, it was my second night here and I'm sleeping on my own. I open the door and standing by the bed was a sliver dragon, the balcony door was open. I had no where to run. I went to run back out but the dragon closed the door with its tail. It took in a breath as I pulled out my daggers. I had nowhere to go so I ran towards it. The door got blown off its hinges. I looked back and standing there was Steiner, Eiko and Vivi. "Reflect." Eiko yelled out.

A red shield came around me and disappeared. I looked back at the dragon as it let out a wave of fire. It hit my shield and went back towards the dragon, after the fire it the dragon Vivi blasted it with a thuderaga. I sliced the dragon at the neck and it fell down dead right on the bed. "Ah man, now where am I going to sleep."

"There is one of the guest rooms I'll show you the way." Steiner said.

"Yeah, thanks."

Steiner walked me there; we didn't talk for the whole journey. When we got there I just walked in and slept.

When I woke up it was 2.30pm. I got dressed and walked to the hospital wing; I walked in and went over towards the doctor. "How is she today doc?" I asked.

"Beatrix is fine she be back on duty tomorrow, and well the princess. There is no easy way to tell you this but she's lost a lot of blood and needs a full blood transplant or she will not wake up, and if we don't get it soon……she will die, sorry."

I started to cry, there was always a first for everything. I just walked out with tears coming out of my eyes. "Sir. Sir." Said that guards coming up to me. "Sir, we've found Mikoto sir, but I'm sorry, she's dead."
