------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"So...how's Kimberly?"asked Lykouleon to a healer that came out of Kimi's room.
"She's resting now, my lord. She lost alot of blood, but not enoth to keep her asleep or kill her....just enoth to make her weak for alittle while....We were able to stop the
bleeding and have bandages on her....."said the healer. Lykouleon tried to keep his face from looking surprised.
"Alright then...."he said as the healer walk away. The Dragon Lord entered Kimi's room to see Afleegi standing there over what was left of Kimi's clothes that were about to be tossed out.
"What is it?"asked Lykouleon.
"It's gone....."said Afleegi.
"Huh?"
"Her Dragon Sword.....it's gone...."said Afleegi, turning to Lykouleon. Lykouleon gave a puzzled look.
"What do you mean, 'it's gone'?"
"As in, Kimberly didn't have it when Sky landed......."said Afleegi said. Lykouleon looked over to the sleeping Dragon Knight who was no longer covered in blood and had
fresh clothing and bandages on her. The Sky Dragon was ontop of her legs with it's own blanket, sleeping as 've dropped it....she was attacked.....it could still be in the back yard...."
"I'll GET IT!"yelled/sang Rath, appearing from behind a plant. He caused the Dragon Lord and the White Dragon Officer to jump in surprise.
"Rath Illuser! WHAT GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO HIDE THERE AND SCARE US!"yelled Afleegi to the Dragon Knight of Fire.
"The Right to hide here and scare you guys...."said Rath, smiling at what he did as he petted Fire, who was on his shoulder.
"Would you go see if it's still out there?"asked Lykouleon.
"Sure...not like I have anything else to do..."said Rath as he left the room.
The Woods
Rath, Fire and Cesia walked down the beaten path where the wolves came out of, to find the Sky Knight's missing sword.
"Man, I wished what attacked Kimi was Demons...not wolves.....that's one stupid way of getting badly hurt...."complained Rath. Fire held up a cue
card saying, 'She would've been killed if it was a demon....Besides, they can't enter in the castle.'
"Fire's right....be glade that it wasn't a demon...if it was, we would have no Dragon Knight still in training!"said Cesia.
"Yeah...but...."Rath said, noticing the gleam on the ground. The two walked over to what it was. It was a broken sword that was covered in blood.
Not only that, but some of the shards of her clothing and three bodies of wolves.
"Oh...my....."said Cesia as Rath bent down and picked up part of the broken sword. He sniffed the blood that was on there.
"Demon..."said Rath. Cesia gave a weird look.
The Dragon Palace
"She only had the sword for one day! SHE'S WORSE THAN RATH!"yelled Alfeegi, looking over the remains of Kimberly's sword, which was still covered in blood.
"Whose worse than me?"asked Rath, eyeing the White Dragon Officer.
"You are worse than yourself..."said Alfeegi, eyeing the Fire Dragon Knight. Rune, Thatz and Lykouleon stared at them as the two gave each other the Evil Eye. While everyone else was
preoccupied, Rune walked over to the table where the sword is. The handle was damaged abit and the broken pieces were laying next to the main piece. Rune, hesitantly, touch the handle of the
sword.
As soon as he did, he froze with a gasp. That caused the others to look over.
"Rune?"asked Cesia. With an instant of Cesia's voice, Rune collapsed while dropping the big part of the broken
Rune's Dream
Soon as Rune touched the sword, he was instantly seeing the vision of the path and the woods. Rune looked around at the setting. His elf
ears then caught the slight talking. He looked down the other path to see Kimi walking up the path, with her arms crossed. "I wonder....what's wrong with Rune? sigh"said Kimi
as she was walking down the path. Rune went to go say something, but she passed right through him. "What the?"asked Rune to himself as he looked at himself. Then he could hear a sword
coming out of it's holder. He turns around to see Kimi with the sword out. The woods got quiet and multiple growls were heard around.
"Is this?"asked Rune as the wolves jumped out to attack her. Rune watched as she swung her sword around to helplessly try to get the wolves away. "BACK OFF!"she yelled as she swung more
and more. But they over whelmed her and she fell down. Rune could hear her muffled screams as the wolves came on top of her. The sword was knocked out of her hands.
Rune saw them tearing pieces of clothes and seeing blood in their mouths. He watched as more wolves come when the sword landed. Two ran into it and breaking it into pieces. Right when that happened, the Sky Dragon
erupted from the sword and roared really loud. With wind guts from her wings and her tail whipping violently, it knocked the wolves away. The deep purple and black dragon, with some blood of her
own from the pieces of the sword and some wolves, was able to get her mistress on to the back of her neck and take flight. Some of the wolves were trying to jump on top of her, to prevent her from flying, but
her tail knocked them off and flew off.......
End of Rune's Dream
Rune slowly opened his eyes to see the others infront of his face. "Wa..what?"was the first words that came out of Rune's mouth.
"Rune! Don't scare us like that!"yelled Alfeegi.
"huh?"said Rune as he sat up in the bed.
"You okay, Rune?"asked Lykouleon.
"You practically fainted on us.....you sick?"asked Cesia.
"I saw...."Rune started to say.
"Saw what?"asked Thatz.
"Kimberly....Kimberly being attacked by the wolves...."said Rune finally. The people of the room gave a shocked look.
"I...have no idea how to explain it....just...when I touch the handle of the
remains of her sword....it...showed..." Rune stopped. He knew that the story was a bit farfetched for them to believe.
"Get some rest Rune, you were just seeing things......."said Alfeegi as they left the room. Rune sighed and let himself fall back asleep.
Later that Night (Kimi's Room)
Kimi slowly opened her eyes to some pains around her entire body. She moved her head to look up at the ceiling. How did I...Am I dead? The door was slightly open and she could hear 2 voices talking.
"You think that she'll wake up?"asked the first voice, which was a guy.
"I have no clue as in her waking up....if she does....she might be mentally unstable and she might not be able to leave the room."said the second one, which was a girl.
"I never thought this would happen....Thank you...."said the first voice with a great sigh, as she could hear the two still talking, but was walking away. Mentally Unstable? Heh...yeah right... Kimi slowly and painfully made her self sit up. She could hear a
squeak. She looked down at her feet to see her own dragon, with a mini blanket and another one...a light blue/white dragon.
"Hey there Sky....thank you...."said Kimi as she leaned abit and petted the small head of her dragon. Then she turned her eyes to the other. "You must be Rune's Water Dragon...."
Water nodded to what Kimi asked. She smiled abit then turned to her own dragon. She lifted the small blanket up to see some of her blood caked on to her dragon's skin. Kimi gave a small sigh and made herself chuckle.
"Well now...you got yourself alittle dirty, didn't you Sky?"Kimi chuckled. Sky held up a small cue card that said, "I'm not that dirty...."
"Yes you on...I'll give you a bath..."she said as she moved the cover off of her. She wobblely got up, and almost lost her balance. She sat back down and said, "This might be complicated...." Then Kimi looked around
the room and saw a walking stick near her bed. She pulled it over and helped herself up. she walked over and held out her arm. "Come on, Sky...."
Sky squeaked in protest. "Come on..."Kimi said as Sky slowly crawled up her arm, trying not to tear the bandages with her claws. Sky wrapped it's tail loosely around her neck and got comfy on her shoulder.
"You too Water....you're dirty as well.."said Kimi as Water gave a shocked look. She also gave a small protest squeak and held up a cue card that said, "I'M NOT DIRTY!"
"If you are not dirty, why do I see dirt spots and red spots on you....."said Kimi. Water frankly looked at herself and then squeak more in defeat.
"Come on...up you come..."she said as Water took flight and landed on her head.
Kimi giggled and said, "Hey.....why my head?"
Water placed a cue card infront of her face and it read, "Because...I want to...." Kimi smiled as she slowly, but surly left the room, using the walking stick for support.
Rune's Room
Rune laid in his bed, wide awake. He couldn't really sleep anymore. As he stared at the ceiling, he could hear a voice said, "You guys are going to have to lead me. One squeak
for left, two squeaks for right and three squeaks for straight....." Rune sat up. He saw in the crack of the door: Water Dragon, Sky Dragon and Kimi walking down the hallway.
(Water?) Rune slowly and quietly got out of his bed and creped to the door. He could hear both dragons squeak twice as Kimi turned right. He waited a few minutes and then followed them.
The Bath Room
Kimi gave a 'wow' look as she looked around the giant bath room. It was abit foggy and had a water fall and many different pools of water, which
was steaming with hot water. No one was in there and it was a good thing. Water and Sky found a bucket and gave it to Kimi, who sat down on the floor and put her feet into the warm water.
"Wow...this is so good...."said Kimi as she picked up the bucket and dipped it into the water. As she did, Sky found a rag and soap and also brought it over.
A few minutes later, Rune peeked through the crack of the door to see Kimi's left leg in the water and the other out and crossed, washing both the Sky and Water Dragons. The two dragons squeaked with relaxation as
the Sky Dragon Knight rubbed them with the rags.
Kimi giggled and said, "I'm glade that you two are enjoying it....sigh I guess that everything turned out well....just wished I knew why wolves attacked me and why Rune was acting the way he was....."
The two dragons were giving a squeak for the scrub, ignoring what she said. "I guess you are too relaxed to listen..."said Kimi. The two squeaked sleepily.
"You guys are strange little dragons...Oh well..."Kimi said as she let out a giant yawn.
While Kimi was scrubbing the two small dragons, Rune was trying to keep himself from making a big yawn and giving away that he was there. After a few minutes, the two dragons were asleep and so was the Dragon Knight of the Sky, with her foot out of the water.
(She's asleep.....)Rune slowly opened the door and tiptoed in. The two dragons sleepily opened one eye. Rune held up one finger to his lips to tell them to be quiet. The two dragons sheepishly flapped their wings and flew up to land on Rune's
shoulders, wrapping both of their tails around his next, making it look like he was wearing a dark purple and light blue choker.
He creped over and carefully and slowly picked up the sky knight and started to carry her out.
Down the Hallway
Rune was keeping quiet as he walked down the silent hallway, trying not to wake anyone up. Then he heard a small sound. He looked down to see Kimi shifting abit
and wrapping her arms around him. She was smiling abit as she slept on. Rune started to blush abit to what the human was doing.
After a few minutes, he finally reached Kimi's room. He skillfully opened the door and entered in, without noticing a two pairs of eyes watching him.
The Next Morning(Rune's Room)
Rune slowly opened his eyes. He was very tired because he had stayed up too late spying and carrying Kimi. Her dragon, Sky, and his own dragon, Water, were sleeping at the
foot of the bed. Rune remembered that he was suppose to put his own dragon back into the sword and leave Sky in Kimi's room. He sighed abit and moved the covers off and picked up the two dragons. As he opened the door and walked out, he was shoved back in as Rath and Thatz
entered in, shut the door and blocked it.
"Hey! What was that for?"protested Rune.
"Rune...don't pull that stuff...."said Thatz.
"Pull what?!?"Rune said.
"We know what you did!"said Rath.
"Eh?!?"
"We know that you...well....you know....with Kimberly..."said Thatz.
"I...WHAT!!!!!! YOU GUYS THOUGHT I DID THAT!!!!"yelled Rune.
"Sure, we saw you carrying her back to her room late last night..."said Rath.
"We thought that you were kinda going for Tintlet, but Kimi...dang!"said Thatz. After Thatz said that, Rune punched the two knights really hard.
"I did not do that! it! She walked out of her own room and fell asleep in the bathroom!"yelled Rune.
"You went in there while she was..."Rath started to say, but Rune punched him again. "Not there...the wash room! She was washing Sky and Water that night!"
"How do you know that..."said Thatz with eyes that said, "You were being hentish".
"I a...I a....girr....GET OUT!!!"Rune shouted as he pushed the two out of his room, slammed and locked the door. Rune's face was completely red. Water and Sky were flapping their
wings and Water held up a cue card saying, "Those two should be labeled the perverts....."
"That's true...."Rune said as he slumped to the floor.
Kimberly's Room
The sun peeked through the curtains of Kimi's room. The small beam rested on her face, making the brightness and warmness wake her up. She slowly opened her eyes, only to squint to the
sunlight. After a few moments, she widen her eyes and shot up to sit up while breathing hard.
"How did I...."she started to say aloud to herself.
"I see you woke up..."said a voice. Kimberly looked over to see Lykouleon leaning ageist the corner by the door. Lykouleon? Oh yeah! Duh! I forgot about the wolves..okay...act like you are in complete pain...wait...I am! WHY DID I JUST SAY THAT!?!
"I guess....what happened?"Kimi asked to the Dragon Lord.
"You were attacked yesterday, remember?"
Kimi shook her head and said, "I guess...."
"I'm surprised how you were able to regain conciseness after that. Most people will be asleep for days with injuries of your own..."
"Then I guess I'm lucky." With those words, Kimi fell back ageist the bed. Even though I'm lying about not really remembering about the attack. I'm so not faking the pain! Then Kimi closed her eyes.
"Kimberly?"asked Lykouleon as he walked over to see if she was alright. All he could see was her back to sleep again. -Then I guess I'm wrong about waking up after that attack so fast-
With that, he fixed the blanket and left the room.
Later that Afternoon
"MY LORD!"shouted a soldier as he ran into Lykouleon's study. "Yes?"
"Wolves! Thousands of them! Heading for the palace!"
"Are you serious?"
"I'm very! They just attacked a few of the guards. I was lucky to get away."said the soldier as Lykouleon got up and looked out the window. There, coming over the horizon, thousands of wolves were heading for the Dragon Castle.
"Get all the soldiers ready including the all Dragon Knights..."
"But my lord, what about the fourth knight?"
"Not her. I'm afraid she's still not healed enoth to fight."
"Yes, my lord..."said the soldier as he ran out of the room. After he left, Lykouleon looked towards the window again.Why would wolves all of a sudden want to attack here? Could there be a demon controlling them?-
A few minutes after Lykouleon's Orders
Kimi awoken to the sounds of many feet and howls. Wolves? Kimi slowly pulled the cover off and swing her feet around to sit on the edge of the bed. Man, why am I in more pain than from last night? Kimi slowly but surely pushed herself off to stand on her two feet. She had forgotten that she had left the walking stick back in the washroom. So, using baby steps, Kimi walked to the doors that lead to the balcony. She opened the doors and collapsed on to the railing of the balcony. Keeping herself up, she could see the everyone running north to where the wolves were coming from. As she watched, randomly she saw Rath in the crowd along with Thatz a few people behind. Then Rune came out running along too. Rune...
"RUNE!"Kimi shouted. But Rune could hear.
"RUNE!"she shouted again, but still, he kept on. Then Kimi took the deepest breath she could and then shouted, "RRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
Rune stopped and looked up. (Kimberly? She's awake again?)
