Chapter 5, You Know Him

"Amara.." Kane softly tapped her shoulder trying to make her snap out of whatever trans she was in. "Amara are you okay?" He asked her again. She slowly nodded and looked him in his eyes with a smile. "I can't recall the rest but, wow… Looking back at all that I was really… How do you say it." "Annoying or vulnerable? I think you were both." Ryo tried his best "helping" her but it just ended up with Amara wanting to throw him outside the window. "...Yeah that. I honestly want to cringe back at those memories. If the person who I am today was in that situation it would all have been handled differently." She confidently told them all. While all three of them just looked at each other and back at heer saying one thing: "Right…!" There's no way they'll believe her but one thing felt off to the story for Ryo. "Your highness, let's say you did have the same personality back then would you still hate him?" He asked with curiosity in his eyes. "Aire? Don't you know he's with His highness? He is his right hand. How did you think he climbed his way up there?" She told him with a laugh. "Wait, that's Aire… PRINCE AIRE IS THE AIRE OF YOUR STORY?" He questioned. "Sadly enough yes he is however I am not mad at him anymore nor should I be. We talked about it and let go of the past. You know it's been more than a couple years by now." She awkwardly answered his question while eyeing Kane. "R-Right! It's been a long time since those times Ryo! They must've had a long talk with each other about it!" He quickly said after making eye contact with her. "Okay then…?" He said with a suspicious thought. "But how about the connection between you and Kyan? In the story you told." The room fell silent, it was very awkward and it wasn't even funny. Even Ryo felt bad for asking the question. "I'm sorry I probably shouldn't have asked that question…" He felt horrible after seeing Amara's face, it was all gloomy. "It's fine, don't worry!" She told him with a smile. "I'll be going to one of the bedrooms now if you don't mind, all these memories are still flooding in my head and I want time to peacefully remember everything." She told them and left them in the living room quite upset. "I understand you were curious but honestly… Were those questions really needed?" Mo Yue asked him with a sad face. Ryo scratches his neck while reflecting on his actions. Kane however left them both behind and went to check up with Amara by her door. to make sure nothing bad happens to her. He could hear stuff moving around but no smashing or crashing sounds. It then went quiet for some time, he got worried and almost knocked on the door but before he could, he heard Amara's voice. "I know you're outside.., I understand you're worried for me and I understand you wanting to be here for me. But as I told you before, I'm fine." Kane then still knocked the door twice. "Can I still come in if you know I'm here?" He asked curiously. Amara smiled at that question, she didn't know why but it made her happy in a way. "Yes, you may come inside." He happily opened the door and saw the room unbroken, no mess and it being tidy. "I guess you've begun being better at controlling your emotions after being locked up." He jokingly said. To others this joke may be unfunny or rude but for Amara it was funny and is what all mattered to him. "You're right, I did!" Although they didn't know what to say next, the silence between them was quite comfortable to be in. Amara then finally broke the silence. "Do you think we'll see him?" She asked him with a serious tone. "I know he's dead but I don't know if he's actually dead forever." After hearing that Kane just couldn't help it anymore. "Remember the story before we got these makeovers?" "The one about the group of people who started helping the person named "He" starting 50 years ago?" She asked him in a low voice which only made him nod in response not knowing what to add next. "If it's just about this group then why should I be worrying about it so much like you are right now Kane?" She worriedly said although she thought she sounded not worried, she was very worried even. Kane couldn't stand it and grabbed her arms then looked her into her eyes. "I don't know or understand why or how He came back but all I do know you're not safe, anywhere." He told her in a calming voice, the message however wasn't a calm thing to hear. "Who is he?" she asked. "Princess…" He said with a sigh. "Do not make me repeat myself, knight Kane who is he." They both had a staring contest at this point even though neither one of them wanted to lose eye contact but Kane gave up. "He is…" BANG the door swung open. Two silly men started to fall onto the ground of her highness in her room. "W-we're so sorry for listening in… We mean no harm!" Mo Yue said quickly getting off squashed Ryo. Ryo got off him afterwards and started to look more into the scene and sat between Amara and Kane trying to fit him between the two of them. "I think we all know who it is by that hint and how worried he was?" Ryo looked at both of them. Now everyone knows Amara's dangers being alone here in the human realm she can't go outside alone without any type of protection they decided to contact their gods and told them they'll be out longer than it'll be needed and that they will be out of reach for a while. Amara firstly took contact with His Highness and had invited him to their house to talk about the matter and told him she wants some power to have more than just only protect herself with any blade that she can find. He was first stingy about it at first not wanting to accept it but when he actually got to know who she wanted to use it against he just agreed with no problem. "Promise me that you will not misuse your power in any way, miss Sicilia?" He asked her with a rather soft voice than a stern one. "I understand and hear your worries thinking I will use it again for the wrongdoing but I promise I've changed ever since then." She told his highness with full confidence, it made him however proud. He thought he saw a change in her after the grounding he gave her for a couple years. "I see you are not the same person you are from 800 years after all." He told her in a happy voice and gave her what she needed without any thought after this conversation. "I am happy we can understand each other from a certain point, your highness." She bowed to him. "Please, it's all my pleasure in the end anyways is it not?" She said, "There is no need to bow and I assume you're right, I wish you safe and lucky travels throughout the days." He told them before disappearing right in front of their eyes, making the three men shocked at how the conversation was going between them, they thought there would be at least some high tension between them somewhere instead wishing kind regards to one another. Amara didn't put much thought into it and thought it was a normal thing to better hide your anger deep down than letting it overflow out of the top and letting it control you in the end. "So… What are we going to do about our gold and silver coins and food supply then?" Ryo asked everyone and that thought made everyone else also think about it. "What if we just sell stuff like vegetables?" Kane said. "Do you think we will honestly make it that far?" Ryo asked him. "Yeah I do." Kane confidently told him. "That's a good thing because I don't!" He happily said. Them talking about selling stuff made Mo Yue quite tired and not wanting to use his brain anymore and decided to take a nap finally after an exhausting night and morning.
