The Return of the Silver Knight

Ch.7 Actions/Desperate Times

Hana wakes up from birds chirping from outside her window. She flutter her eyes opened and saw a clothed chest. She then looked up and smiled. Ruwalk was fast asleep, with one arm underneath his head while the other was around Hana. She blushed slightly and smiled. She gently got out of bed quietly, trying her best not to wake up Ruwalk. She got a brush and brushed her black silky hair. She then felt arms around her waist. She smiled and turns around. Ruwalk smiled and rest his forehead against hers. "...I love you, Hana." Ruwalk whispered. Hana smiled sweetly and hugged him. "...I love you too, Ruwalk." Hana whispered. Soon, Ruwalk and Hana left the room and gone to do their duties.

Hana was riding on Silver, scouting for demons around Dusis. "Anything yet, Silver?" Hana asked. Silver looked around. "Nothing, master. It seems these demons are starting to be smarter hiding from us." Silver said. "...as if they are planning something." Hana whispered. She soon started to head back to the castle. There, waiting for them, was Tetheus with a few dragon fighters. Silver landed beside them. Hana then slipped off of Silver's back. "Anything?" Tetheus asked. "Nothing. I think the demons are getting smarter by the minute." Hana said. Tetheus nods. Silver perched on Hana's shoulder. Tetheus then handed Hana the reins of her horse, Shadow. "Lord Lykouleon needs you to come with me for more scouting outside of Draqueen." Tetheus ordered. She nodded. She then mounted on Shadow, waiting for Tetheus and the others.

They were soon in a abaondoned town. She then saw old house. Tetheus took one side of town with a few fighters while Hana took the rest of the fighters with her. "What do we do now?" One of the fighters asked. She stares at the abandoned house. "Let's go inside." Hana said. The door was jammed. "I can't get in, it's locked from the inside and out." The other fighters said. She sighed. "Stand back." Hana ordered. The soon were out of Hana's way. She sighed deeply, then kicked the door down. She walked inside the house, which look centuries old. She then heard hisses. She then sighnaled the fighters to hide, so they can ambush the demon. Soon, three demons showed. Then soon, it became a bloody battle. Hana and the Dragon fighters won. Hana stares at the corpses. "Wait a second, they...were too easy, like they wanted us to kill them." Hana said. Soon, Hana and the fighters started to head where Tetheus and the other fighters were. She then felt the earth trembling under her feet. She suddenly fell into a deep hole. "Miss Hana!" One of the fighters yelled. They looked down and saw Hana, with scrapes and bruises. They thought she was dead.

"Miss?" One of the fighers asked. She then started to open her eyes. The fighters sighed in relief, knowing that Hana was okay. "Miss, Hana! Are you okay?" They asked. She tried to get up, but fell back to the ground, which was slightly filled with water. "I-I don't know...my ankle hurt pretty bad. I...I can't get up." Hana said. She was shivering from the water inside the cave. "I'll get the captain! The rest of you, stay here with miss Hana!" The fighter said with black hair.

Meanwhile, Tetheus and the fighters he had just now got done talking with Kitchel, the human theif that was helping Lord Lykouleon to get the Three Treasures; items that can defeat the Demon King. "Captain!" A fighter said. It was the fighter with black hair. Tetheus was concern. "What is it?" Tetheus asked. When the fighter came, he was out of breath. "It's...it's Hana! Sh-She...is in trouble..." The fighter said. Tetheus stares at him. He finallly caught his breath. "Hana fell down into a demon trap. I don't think she can't get out." The fighter said. Tetheus was shocked from he heard. "Where is she?" Tetheus asked. He pointed the way. "Just about fifteen minutes from here." The fighter said.

Soon, Tetheus came to the trap. He saw the fighters with rope, trying to pull Hana out. "How long had she been down there?" Tetheus asked. "We don't know, sir. My guess, at least an half an hour." The fighter said while trying to pull the rope. Tetheus looked down and saw Hana, nearly exhausted from trying to get out herself out of the hole. "I'm going down there to get Hana. When I grab her, pull both of us up." Tetheus ordered. The dragon fighters nodded. Tetheus headed down where Hana was. He gently kneeled down and stroked down her hair. "Hey, Hana..." Tetheus whispered. She semi-opened her eyes and saw Tetheus. Her face was turning red and was breathing heavily. Tetheus gently wrapped his arms around Hana, stroking her hair. He then tied the rope around her and himself.

"Okay, pull us up." Tetheus said. Slowly, Tetheus and Hana were pulled up from demon trap. Tetheus kneeled down and stroked her hair. "Captain, I think she's got a fever." One of the fighters said. Tetheus rest his hand on her forehead. "Yeah, we better get to the town so we can get a doctor to look at her injuries." Tetheus said. He gently slid his arms around Hana's shoulders and under her knees, picking her up gently without hurting her.

Hana started to wake up. She opened her eyes and saw Tetheus carrying her on his back. Tetheus stared at Hana. "You feeling okay?" Tetheus asked. Hana leaned her head against his shoulder, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I..don't feel good...my whole body hurts..." Hana said. Tetheus sighed and got a better grip on Hana's legs. "Well, you're going to be soar for awhile. The doctor told me that Rune can heal you, the doctors at Memphis couldn't heal the demon fever you have, but they tried their best to heal the bruises and cuts you got. Plus, you dislocated yor ankle pretty good as well." Tetheus said. She closed her eyes. Tetheus realized that Hana fell asleep. He sighed. "...just hang in there a little longer, Hana. We're almost home..." Tetheus whispered. He got a better grip of Hana and kept walking.

Soon, Tetheus was at the castle. He then saw Rune. "Rune, can you heal up Hana's fever?" Tetheus asked. Rune stared at Hana, who was fast asleep; with her head against his shoulder. Rune then nodded, agreeing to Tetheus. Rune was now healing Hana's demon fever. Hana then started to breathe normally. "There. She's doesn't have a demon fever. All need she needs is to rest." Rune said. Tetheus stares at Hana, seeing her fast asleep. He stroked her hair gently. He then turned off the light, letting Hana sleep.

Hana started to open her eyes. She saw herself in her room. She hen saw Ruwalk smiling at her. "R...Ruwalk..." Hana whispered. Ruwalk smiled and stroked her hair. She then sat up gently, staring at Ruwalk. She then was glomped by her sister. She then felt Shizuka crying on her shoulder. Hana returned the hug, rubbing her back gently. "I'm sorry, Shizuka...didn't mean to worry you." Hana whispered. Shizuka pulled away. "Please...don't scare me like that." Shizuka said. She smiled. "...I promise..." Hana said. She then left Hana and Ruwalk alone. She then sat on the edge of the bed. Ruwalk sat next to her. "If I made you worried as well, Ruwalk...I'm sorry if I did." Hana said. A single tear runs down her cheek.

Ruwalk then pulled her close to a gentle embrace. "It's okay, Hana..." Ruwalk said. She closed her eyes and blushed; returning the hug. Ruwalk then rest his hand against her cheek, making her look at him. He gently kissed her. Hana returned the kiss. They soon pulled away. "Well, I think I rested long enough. I'm going to see Lord Lykouleon." Hana said. She managed to walk to the door. Ruwalk smiled. "She just keeps on going. What strong spirit she has." Ruwalk whispered to himself.
