Chapter 9 - Chapter 7: A Change in Fate

The next morning I woke up in the presence of a witch who wanted to heal my injuries for all

the good I did for the town the day before. Honestly, Saki never even came to my mind till now.

"So Manchu where is the girl who helped you destroy the Pig?" she asked in a soft tone

"I'm not sure but I'm sure she is just fine." I said still with my head full

"I hope she is okay her name is Lady Saki right? I heard the princess was trying to get revenge

on the man who killed her father. I wonder if she will be able to after she finds out it's you

Manchu she protected you pretty fiercely yesterday without a question. You though you didn't

even try to help her not once. Is it because you want her dead?" she said as if she knew

something

"No…Well maybe…" I replied

"Maybe you should put down the sword and answer my question Manchu the dragon, the

dragon isn't something to mess with. It is an evil weapon that will hold your heart. you see that

dragon on your sword." she said as she pointed to the gold one on the blade. " It moved there

because you are it's new victome It will devour your soul when the time comes it will remove

itself from the sword and make its new place in place of your soul." she laughed as she finished

healing me and disappeared into thin air

I was so lost, there was so much about this weapon I didn't know but i guess it makes since. I remembered when I got the sword and the dragon did come out of his chest on to the sword I don't know why I didn't remember that. I set down the sword and decided I would go for a walk

have a clear head and get away from the one thing that can destroy me the more I think about it.

I found myself looking for light, he looked a little sick this morning when he left telling me he

needed some air. know that I think about it he has been looking more sickly every time he wakes

up anymore. I wonder why that is and he also seems to be taking space and time away from me. I

also wonder why didn't he fight with me yesterday? I thought he would always be by my side

but it wasn't him it was Saki… I remembered how bloody and torn up she was when I saw her

taking the injury for me as she held the beast's fist even though he arm was broken.

Out of nowhere my heart felt a sharp pain I was worried about her, but why I wasn't worried

about her before not when I had the sword. I was starting to see why no one has ever beaten this

sword and I would lose my soul to it as well. I wonder though If my masters soul was taken what

stopped him from killing me when I was a boy what made him want to help me. If i think about

it is this even help or is it just another problem I have to get through. All I know now is that I

want to find Saki and make sure she was alright. while I was walking I came up to a path in the

woods that went up the side of the mountain so I thought I'd go up the path and see if I can get a

better look of the surrounding areas.

I went through the winding path of stone steps and trees, I was starting to think i had been going

through this for a while when I reached the top step and when i was about to step off the step the

stone broke from under my feet. I fell through trees it felt like i hit every tree on the way down.

When I finally hit the ground and stopped moving I could feel a pain under my eye. I took my

hand and wiped away a tickle from under my left eye. When i focused on my hand I saw blood I

must have cut my eye on the way down. The way I landed I was laying on my back in what I

found out to be a bed of flowers I looked to my left and saw that there were flowers for what

looked like miles. I looked to the right and the flowers ended at an opening. The opening looked

like a cave, but it was different it was made of crystal a crystal I have never seen before it shined

like a saphier the sparkle was magnificent. I decided to get up and investigate the cave further. I

rolled over on to my knees and used one of the trees to stand up. when I did I felt a sharp pain

shoot through my lag. I looked down to find I had a small part of a branch that had pierced my

calf. I reached down to pull it out but when I tried it was way too deep to get out of my lag, the

pain was so excruciating I didn't want to move. I realized if I didn't move I would most likely

die here which wasn't an option. I was starting to wish I had brought my sword with me.

I started to walk slowly towards the opening of the cave when I had reached it I thought it

would be easy to just be able to walk in and sit. It wasn't that easy there were stairs that lead

deeper down into the cave luckily the light from the sun lite up the crystals which sent the light

all the way through the tunnels. The pain was getting worse the more I walked it felt as though I

could feel a part of the branch scratch my bone and tear my muscles the more I walked. After

yesterday with the Pig I didn't know how much more pain I could stand. I started to wonder if

Saki was worth all this pain. I could have just gone on with my life and finish what I started with

the rest of the swords I needed to collect.

Than the caves started to darken which only mant the sun was setting. The night was coming

and a little too late for me me to get out of the cave, I had no idea how far in I was and how

many more stares I could handle on this lag. I started to sweat, I wasn't sure if it was from the

heat in the tunnels or if it was my injury starting to flare up. It may have been starting to get

infected but I couldn't see any more the cave was completely dark now. I walked in the dark for what seemed like hours, till I came to a long tunnel it was long and cold I saw a light at the end of the corridor when I got to the end I walked out into the light my eyes had to adjust it was like

the sun waking you in the morning when you weren't ready for it to be bright out. I looked

around there where trees and green grass that stood between a path. I followed the path until I

came upon a pond in the middle of the shimmering pond I saw her Saki finally my lips

whispered.

before I could get closer Saki looked at me with her emerald eyes shining, no hate, no fear, no

anger from what I had done resided in her eyes. I felt my heart drop and only the intense feelings

I had for her started to take over my body. Before I knew it I was naked and beside her holding

her wet naked body against mine there was no stopping me or my body now. I leaned in to kiss

her lips so soft and full of love for me.

When Manchu Kissed me I felt my heart drop my body was warm all over, he quickly pulled

my legs to go around his hips. His touch firm but gentle at the same time our lips kept on

touching and our bodys where becoming one heart, one soul, one love that could never be

destroyed. I had never felt a love like this before that could fill my heart and also fix it at the

same time. I could feel the love I had felt for him stronger than ever and hoped he could feel how

much I loved him and wanted him in my life. My heart wouldn't stop racing it was like a drum

pounding in my chest kind of how it always was when I looked at him. I swear we were meant to

be together forever. He was silent as I ran my fingers through his hair. his hair was so soft, he

smelled so good. I don't know what it was about how he smelled but I always noticed it. It was

just different now that I was able to be close to him and in his sweet aroma devoured my soul I

couldn't think of anything but giving my whole self to him forever. My love was pure and true

no matter what this man put me through I knew deep down I would always love him with his

flaws, even when he wouldn't love me one day I would always love him. His hand kept on

cressing my body I could hear my moans getting louder the more we went on. My grasp was

getting tighter on him, our body's where so close. Was this a forbidden love something I couldn't

keep in the end or was it something that would last a lifetime? At this this moment I couldn't

care if I would be destroyed I just wanted him all to myself and to have this moment last forever.

everytime I looked at him he's eyes were filled with love I wondered when the I wouldn't see

him look at me that way again. I had a dark past that would haunt me even now when all I

wanted was this man.

When I looked into Junjie's eye I could see the love he felt for me, when his lips touched my

skin I could feel the passion that I was always searching for inside of him. I was nothing more

than peaceful, I never wanted to stop looking into those eyes of his, I never wanted this moment to stop.
