The guy was muscular and strong, he could easily pick up Dane . He carried Dane to the carriage where the other's rescued people were kept but when they got there one of the mask man came and inform their leader that the carraige were all full, no more space for even a person to squeeze in.
The master looked down at Dane which made him uneasy.
" Y-you're not thinking of leaving me here..Are you? " Dane said so because he was afraid, they'll leave him as he is not even one of them and began to cry out loudly.
" hey.. shut up will you?"( the leader)
He was annoyed.
Dane began to beg the master to take him along with them.
" I won't leave you here, stop crying like a baby" said the guy with pissed face.
Dane mood lighthen up as he heard him.
" But... where will i sit? all the carraige are full" Dane said while looking at the guy with teary eyes. He was looking like a lost puppy in the eyes of the man in the mask, which made him blushes a little but unseen as his face was covered.
After a while they began their journey, Dane was sitting on the horse with the guy who help him earlier. He was sitting in the front as he was injured and weak.
But their master action astounded the other mask men. They have never in their life seen their master being so gentle to others let alone a women. He is never this kind to stranger. But then when they notice how beautiful Dane was, they thought, well why not, who would be able to resist such a beauty, Maybe our master have fallen in love with this women in the first sight.
After all he is a man too.
As the ride was getting rough, Dane clenched tightly onto the man's cloth and bump on his chest time to time.
I'm a man yet i'm so weak and has to depend on other man, they even took me as a girl, how shameful, is it because my hairs are long? not that's not it, mine is not that long comparing to them, even men's from ancient days have long hair then why do they think i'm a woman ? or...do i really look girly? Man! that hurt my pride. Dane was in a deep though, thinking all these all the way.
After some hours of travelling they stop at the place. There where many people, shops and resturant, it looked like a city. The carraige stopped and all the people in the carraige came down and thank the shadows knight. The master order his men to arrange a medical treatment for the wounded people there.
Dane was was watching them talk, sitting on the bench , under the blooming peach tree.
" They look so happy now, thank God for saving them and me, i thought i'll die here" Suddenly a thought hit his mind.
" wait ! now that everyone is safe and home... what about me ? where will i go ? " Dane gets worried about him as he think about where to go.
" what shall i do i don't know anyone here" (Dane) Then he looked at the master mask man.
" Right, he doesn't seems to be bad, shall i try him? but what if he refuse, no no you got to convince him dane, thats what you're good at, lets do this" (Dane) after lots of conflict in his mind, he finally decided to talk to the master.
While with the master, after settling things, the mask man master remembered that Dane was also hurt and needed a treatment, he looked around for Dane but could'nt find him among the people, unconsciously his heart began to get anxious.
" Where did he go ? wasn't his leg injured?" As he was thinking, something hits his mind, then he ran towards the place where he put Dane after they got down from the horse.
When he got to the place, he saw Dane sitting there quitely, his eyes were on some childrens playing and running around.
The wind blows down the peach flowers petals in light pink, fall on his silver blue hair and his crystal blue eyes were like glittering diamond, rosy lips, beautiful face with slightly red cheeks. Dane was all defectless, nothing can be cut out from his flawless body. The man was mesmerise by the sight.
And unconsciously he muttered out
" could there be someone as exquisitely beautiful as this person infront of me?" As he was admiring the view, Dane notice him and the man snap out of his thoughts and realised what he was thinking a moment ago, which made him blush a little and move towards Dane.
" Your legs are injured lets treat your wound first"( The master)
But right Dane was thinking something eles, he wanted to asked him about the things which he planed to but couldn't so he nodded and the man carried him to the place where the physicians were treating the other injured people.
The slowly put him down and asked one of the physician to treat him.
The man stood beside him watching how the physician cleaned his wound and dressing them. Dane hiss in pain as the physician put ointment on his wound.
After the treatment the man carried him out to the previous place and put him down gently.
" Tell me where you live, i'll take you there" said the man.
Dane looked down and answerd " I don't have anywhere to go"
"What do you mean? where you do stay? what about your parents ?" Asked the man.
" i...i don't know if i have one, i don't remember anything"(Dane)
The man stared at him for a while and said " what happened before you were captured by those Sage soldiers?"
" Sage? where they called sage?" (Dane)
" Yes, they are from the Sageland"( The master)
Sageland....i think i've heard this name before, Dane thought.
" I have no idea how i got there but when i wake up, i was in the middle of the forest, i was laying under the tree, i don't know how" saying this Dane looked at the man. The mask man was just staring at Dane as he was listening to him.
Does he believed to what i've said or is he thinking that i'm a madman? but what i said is true tho, except the time travel part.
