A few days went by and Emma began to heal, although from the injuries she received she stayed with many scars, all which were covered by her long and green clothing.
Now at the present moment she was walking through the castle's garden, only to find Shu, the king of Elsia floating above a few flowers, that grew when they made contact with Shu's energy.
The woman would quietly walk up behind the man, trying to see what it was that he was doing, only to find that his eyes were closed and his legs were crossed, it seemed to her like he was meditating
" This is odd, I've never met anyone outside of the elven species who have such relationship with nature "
Emma said to herself as she would then stretch her arm out; she found the calm energy that engulfed the man very amazing, so she wanted to see how it felt back, and so her fingers slowly pierced through the aura that surrounded him and the moment he did, all that calmness, and good nature that came from his energy immediately turned to, nothingness?
Emma was confused, Shu's energy was no longer welcoming and the flowers weren't blossoming the way they were before, it was as if, Shu had completely changed.
His energy wasn't evil, but it wasn't warm either, it was like that of an animal predator, an energy that is constantly releasing killing intent
" What are you doing here Emma? "
Shu questioned, his voice sounding deep and serious, calm and emotionless
" I—uh, I came to see how a human raised a garden "
The woman replied, her voice sounding shaky and unsure, as if she was nervous and afraid of the man, thankfully he wasn't looking at her, and the only thing she could see was his back, but all that relief would suddenly fade away as the man turned to look at her.
His eyes were just as emotionless as his voice, they were stoic and full of nothing, all the joy the and warmth she felt when he was meditating was no longer there, right now at this very moment, to her Shu was a warrior through and through, a human weapon with no emotion.
" You're supposed to be healing, have you healed completely? "
He questioned, as he would then place his hand on top of her head, carefully caressing it, which would make her twitch a bit; she wasn't expecting such a suddenly touch.
" I've recovered enough to walk, plus even if I wasn't at top condition I'd steal be here, I much prefer walking than staying stuck to a bed everyday and every night "
She replied, slowly taking a step away so her head could move away from the man's hand
" I see "
He whispered, slowly stretching out his legs so that they could touch the grass beneath him
" Well, what are you doing here? "
Emma questioned as Shu would then tilt his head a bit, staring at the woman straight in her eyes, making her nervous yet again
" I was training "
He then scratched the back of his head and turned away from her, walking through the flowers barefooted.
He was wearing a black robe which would only cover his limbs and leave his abdomen open for the world to see: and wore black shorts to match with his robe.
" Training? By meditating? "
She, followed behind him, taking quick steps to keep up; it didn't seem like it but the man was moving very quickly, it almost seemed like he was sliding through the ground, but no one who'd seem could tell, as the grass covered his feet.
" This spot should be good.. "
Shu said to himself as he would then look up at the sky, moving from right to left and side to side, as if trying to measure something
" What are you looking at? "
The woman questioned as she stopped walking, catching her breath a bit; her injuries seemed to have weakened her very much, at the moment she was no different than an ordinary woman
" A rock "
He replied before squatting down, whilst veins formed on his legs, and feet
" Close or cover your eyes, you might catch dirt "
He added, before leaping into the sky, causing a small sonic boom, as well as burst of air which would ruin the flowers, and a crater which would destroy its roots, dirtying not only the woman's clothes but also the garden itself,
Although naturally as an elf she was worried for the plants, her main focus was placed upon Shu who had seemingly disappeared.
She looked at the sky for a few seconds, only to turn away from it as the brightness of the sun blinded her, three more seconds went by and a great explosion could be seen above the sky, and from it Shu came flying down.
" H-huh?! "
She quickly jumped back, but didn't get far due to her injuries, only to see the man stop, inches away from touching the ground with his feet
" Where did you just go?! "
She questioned as she walked toward the man, intrigued and for some reason angry at him, but he would simply stick his finger inside of his ear stared at her
" I went to space "
He replied with simplicity, as if this was an everyday occurrence, the woman's anger soon turned to curiosity the moment she heard his reply
" To do what? "
" To destroy a giant rock that came flying to earth "
He said before turning away from her, yawning a little, only to float toward another side of the garden, being followed by the woman who kept asking him questions about the 'giant rock' he saw in outer space.
This went on for minutes until Shu lost his patience
" You want to know something? "
Shu questioned as he would then turn to look at the elf, shutting her mouth immediately
" Your voice is very soothing and you have a very attractive appearance, but all the talking you do is enough for every men to reject any type of relationship you offer them. It's almost as if you don't shut up, as if you want to kill me with all the talking you do "
He said as the elf woman would stare at him, not saying a word, only for him to turn around and continue to do whatever it was that he was currently doing with the flowers beneath.
" You find me attractive?…. "
The elf woman questioned as her face would then turn red
" No one has ever said that to me before.. "
She would then cover her mouth with her left hand , and ducked her head down, refusing to look at the man, because she knew that if she stared at him, her face would start boil
" What's wrong now? Are you crying? "
He questioned, with that same tone of voice he used before, which would force the woman to raise her head, still covering her mouth, but her eyes were shifted to the side, avoiding him still.
" Weird… "
Shu thought to himself before ripping out three flowers from the ground, each colored red.
