Chapter: Twenty-four
"Injured dreams"
Chrono walked down the hallway to the aid center holding a pale of water. Kaia was in pretty bad shape after the incident with the infamous Kayo. Chrono opened Kaia's door slightly and asked permission to enter. She was draped in white bandages and a smile was still planted on her face. She had no broken bones, just some cuts and bad burns from the previous explosion. "Hello, are you feeling better?" Chrono asked as he grabbed her burnt arm. She flinched and shook her head. "Good, this will hurt for a while." He told her placing warm water on her burnt arm. She didn't yell nor did she cry, she simply flinched at the pain from her soar arm.
Chrono finished and wrapped her arm back up in the white bandages. "Thank you Chrono." Kaia murmured, rubbing her eyes slightly. Chrono looked at her and frowned. He rung the wet rag out and placed it back in the pale. "Are you ok? You seem troubled." Kaia turned to look at Chrono's saddened face. She laughed and brushed her blonde hair back. "I'm fine Chrono. I just need to get better soon if I want to help you and Rosette." She said holding her bandaged arm. Chrono's eyes widened and Kaia saw the shocked look on his face. "You're going to help the Magdalene order? You know we fight demons and work for Christ." He implied with a bewildered look. "You don't need to endanger your self with our careless actions." He said scratching his head. Of course he was speaking of Rosette when he stated "Careless actions." Kaia shook her head side to side. "I'm capable of helping out, besides I don't know anyone else real well here. You two are my friends." Chrono smiled and stood up to leave.
Kaia frowned, "I'll be fine." She said lifting the sheets off of her to set up. "You shouldn't get up yet, you need to heal!" Chrono yelled with shock. Kaia shook her head again. "I've been in here for almost a week, I can't stand to be cooped up in a place like this for long. I need to get out." She stated standing from the bed. "Your arm is looking better, so I guess we can try to get you set up as a member. You will have to train though, Rosette and I will help you." Chrono gave another smile, Kaia smiled back and laughed. "Thank you so much!" She yelled wrapping her arms around Chrono's neck locking him in a tight hug. Chrono blushed slightly and started to laugh. He opened his eyes to gaze out the window. An eagle was placed on the branch just outside the window. Its eyes grew red and it flew away. "AION!" Chrono screamed jumping from Kaia's arms. He ran to the window to see which direction the eagle was traveling. The bird was nowhere in sight. Kaia turned towards Chrono with frightened eyes.
"W-what's the matter Chrono." She stuttered over her words. Chrono gave a sigh and turned back around. "It's nothing important right now. Let's get you ready for the training if you're up to it. Kaia's eyes grew wide, "Yes, I am!" She followed Chrono back out the door. I want to help them more than anything, I know Chrono's been hurt by Aion. She thought as she walked down the barren hallway.
Aion patted the eagle's head and looked at the sky. "I guess I need to speak with them. Obviously it's taking longer to destroy them than I thought." He gave an evil laugh. "I will consult the God's of Death to help me. I'll give them an offer they can't refuse." Rain poured from the skies and an eagle flew off into the sky with piercing red eyes.
