Last time, Ally fought Hinata and won. Ally couldn't heal everyone. She asked Katsu if he could take her to the Akane River Valley to find help.
So you can take me there? Ally asked. I can, but I can't go to Akanlitic Priestesses Village exactly. Ally replied. Sure we can. Katsu replied. Katsu unsheathed his sword and slashed a portal. As those two were walking on through it, I was thinking Katsu was hiding something from Ally. As the portal closed, I asked Aoi a question. Hey Aoi, Katsu is forbidden to go into the Akane River Valley, isn't he? I asked. Yes, one he is a man. Men are forbidden to go near the Akane River Valley. Aoi replied. Especially, his ancestor's sketchy past with the matriarch. Aoi replied. He went there knowing that? Rumiko asked. The stupid things love makes you do. Tomoe replied. He couldn't stand to see her disappointed. Aoi replied.
As the portal closed, they were on the outside of the village of women. Wow, we are actually on the outskirts of the village. Ally whispered. I think I see a human woman and a man. Rumi replied. We need to tell Sarah about a man being sited. Ianthe replied. As Ally and Katsu were marveling at the village, Katsu grabbed me and ran in the trees. He used his magic to mask our presence. I know you are hiding. That man should feel the effects of the trees that you are hiding in. His heart should start beating faster, shortening of breath and slow death. Katsu fell to his knees. He grabs his chest. Katsu? Ally asked. I'm sorry, I have to do this. Katsu replied. He appeared in front of Ianthe and grabbed her wrist. Let go of me. Ianthe replied. Don't play innocent. You control the plant's toxicity and speed up it. Katsu replied. She becomes petrified as it engulfed his eyes with fury. Katsu let go of her hand. Ally replied. As soon as he let go of her hand, she grabbed him. Stay calm. I can heal your body from the toxins that were released in your body. Ally replied. How can you do that? Katsu asked. As Ally healed his body, Ianthe looked at Ally. Why are you here Rose Maiden. Ianthe replied.
In a tower, a girl with long umber colored hair with fair colored skin was looking out her window.
I wonder will he ever come to save as he promised me? Lila asked. She looks out to the right and feels a familiar presence.
She appears before Ally.
It's been a while, Ally! Lila yelled. She knocked Katsu out of the way.
Ally, why are you here? Lila asked. I am actually here to get you. Ally replied. Lila Nigastu, you know Lady Sarah forbid you from leaving your room. Ianthe replied. If you call that tower over towards the river valley my room? That's a prison. Lila replied. She looks at Katsu. Oh my gosh, Hironori. I am so sorry Ianthe attacked you. Lila replied. Who? Katsu asked. As Katsu tried to sit up, Lila touched his chest, and it restored his body. My body feels lighter. Katsu replied. You were breathing harder than usual. Lila replied. She purified as soon the complete area after. Lila, I need a favor from you. Ally replied. Sure, what is it? Lila asked.
As the area was purified, Lady Sarah appeared.
So you came for this child, after I had hid her from you? Sarah asked. What are you going on about? Katsu asked. You like that monster that killed Lady Ana centuries ago. Rumi replied. I will not give her up to you. Sarah replied. I don't have time to fight with you, Sarah. Ally replied. You are the Fallen. Sarah replied. Ally glared at Sarah. I am here as more than a bodyguard. She attacked me first. Katsu replied. Lila walks in front of Lady Sarah. Lady Sarah, I want to help them. Lila replied. What? Sarah asked. I want to do this to help a friend out. Lila replied. Sarah looked at Lila.
Stay Tuned.
Lila is Spanish for lilac
Ni gatsu is Japanese for February.
I was thinking since she is Rose Maiden. She should be named after a flower. Since Lilacs bloom in February or March, I thought I could be clever and name her that way.
