He groaned slightly, his mind racing for a brief moment as a horrid image seemed to glare in his eyes as his hand reached up to his forehead, his skull screaming in a massive headache as for a brief moment, every thing could be heard with crystal clarity.
Almost like a hang over.
Groaning, his arms shaking as he slowly looked around. Yes, he was where he was when he healed Tiani.
Tiani!
He blinked, looking across to her, and noting that she was alive, awake, and apparently well. Chuckling at his own scaredy cat reaction to being awoken. He couldn't shake the eerie feeling out of his mind.
" Tis good to see you are well. That healing technique isn't very friendly to the user, but you are well , and that is all that matters ! " he said , cheerfully and with a smile that seemed to sparkle as he slowly stood up, even as several Forgotten, Hogoromo guards swooped down.
Kami chuckled, folding his arms across his chest.
" Usually, in my experience, the calavary is alot later then this, seems their improving. Hey, you two , could you escor..." The speech stopped as a dagger flew by, scratching his cheek as he turned his head with the blow by sheer instinct.
" Hey, what the hell is your problem? I'm a friend, and Lord of the Dan'Shir elves, your allies! " He grumbled, somewhat peeved at some young chic guards being so hasty.
One of the guards, both of them gently flying in a almost racist way of showing him that he was earthbound, chuckled and hefted another dagger even as the other watched on, a look of complete amusement upon their faces.
" Yes, an elf, and forbiddion to be upon Hogoromo land! By Decree of Lady Emi, Steward of Hogoromo in the absence of our great queen Zenra. Now, you who are trespassing upon our land, and with a hurt Forgotten woman..you best explain yourself before my dagger finds your heart....elf. " The last word came out like a curse, or how would would say offal.
Not a very pleasant way Kami noted.
" I am Kami Daniray Shiragen, I am that stewar...." Kami blinked, cursing this timeline with more passion then ever before. How could he be her father, even though he was indeed.
What are you doing Emillia...? He thought, then his arm snapping out to catch another thrown dagger meant for his shoulder, as the two landed gently, gracefully.
Even more graceful then elves could possibly dream of becoming.
" You have thirty seconds to leave my sight elf, and remember, the sight of a Forgotten greatly exceeds that of any of your kind! Now go! " Pointing toward the forest that acted as the border of Hogoromo, he hefted another dagger, his pupils narrowing as Kami knew.
The bead was already upon him, any evasion was being noted and prepared for.
Even with my speed, Kami thought.
I can avoid a critical hit, but not a direct one, and who knows what the other one is doing..
But what the hell is going on?
His mind briefly remembered, what was only a day before...
" I must return to Hogoromo, there seems to be some changes I must check on..."
Impazaeal!
" MOVE ELF! " The guard who had remained quite yelled. Though Kami could tell this one wasn't as racist as his comrade, there was still...something...
Hate?
Silver eyes narrowing gently as his mind tried to work out this complicated emotions and actions that seemed to swirl around him, mocking him like some bizaare fun house gone mad. Slowly walking away toward the Forest, a few hours journey if he traveled the elvish ways to his home in Dan'Shir.
" Emillia, are you so Xenophobic after your brush with Forbiddion? " He whispered, the six eyed demon floating behide him in his thoughts for the first time in many days. It's many tails lashing about wildly , as if proud of its actions, proud of its legacy upon this world.
His hand clenched, his eyes briefly clouded with rage.
" You took my beloved, my two sons, and now, even in death, you seek my daughter...and what have you done with Zenra? Is this your doing as well Emillia?! " He roared, out of ear shot of the Forgottens now as he tread deep into the forest, lost in thought and memory and mind.
The rustling of feathers broke his contemplations.
" It is as I told you, Quistlas. They have abandoned you because you are no longer as they are. Zenra desires someone that will live as long as her, and Emillia does not desire a bastard elf as her father. Is it not apparent in this declaration to exile all non Forgottens? " She said, gently as his wings extended to their fullest extent.
Kami sighed, looking down, in both to hide his feelings, and to not stare at the face he could not...ever...look into.
" What you say is not ... " He began, thinking about it after a small brief time.
" True? Do you really think so? Look at reality closely! Already with your sight you can see the humans leaving, and they have no where to go! Orphens of war thrown out because they are not the chosen of the gods! Elves, the very elves that held back the Dark Mistress from attacking Hogoromo as well, exiled because they were too conceited to notice your valiant efforts...but I....dearest Husband, noticed..." she said, gently as her wings wrapped around his elven frame, matching perfectly with his silver mane.
" Emillia..perhaps...but not Zenr..." He sighed, tears gently running down his eyes as the proof was nearly unacceptable. Truth could not be so cruel he thought. After all this...
After all my sacrifices is this my just reward?
No...something is no...
The gentle twinkling of stars and bells invaded his thoughts, making that proud statement warp and twist as azure eyes narrowed in concenration. The two seemed to embrace, her wings folding in around him, shielding him from the harsh reality of this world.
" Fate is what you make of it Kami. It is not given to you, you choose to sacrifice, and that makes you a noble man, but you shouldn't expect to be rewarded by the Gods, they do not mettle any longer. Now , my offer stands , Kami Raikiri. " she whispered, coyly as they stood alone in the forest.
Alone in the world.
Alone in the whole universe, the wind swaying their hairs together as they mingled as one.
He smiled. There had been many times such thoughts have crossed his mind. To leave his chosen path. But always they were influenced by Forbiddion, or some other puppet, pulling his strings. Perhaps this is the same...
But why does it feel so right? To finally care about myself, and to protect the things that matter without sacrificing myself meaninglessly...
I saved lives, good peoples lives. I will continue to do so, it's my nature..it's what I do.
However....
Emillia my daughter , has succumbed. I doubt that even I can save her, and even I do not understand my daughter as a father should. The only man that could possibly reach her..
No. The only person that could, is dead.
Because of me.
A tear drop hit the ground, shattering into thousands of possiblities. However, no matter what could have occured from that tear drop, only one fate remained for it. It would die.
And Zenra? Where is the Queen of Hogoromo? I cannot sense her, or see her with my Sight. Surely she would stop this craz...
" Zenra will not stop it. She is within the Dreamworld of Sierra and Magus, living in paradise. She has finally tired of this world, and plans on living her immortal days forever in bliss. Why should you not seek the same thing? She abandoned you, because you could not follow her! " She sighed into his ear, even as Kami's eyes narrowed dangerously, veins bulging underneath the skin near his eyes as he sought his precious Zenra from miles away, from planes away.
But he could not see.
Something fell into his palm, something warm and alive. Something gentle and loving. His eyes looked down, his body unable to move.
Deja Vu..it was so...so...
" Not yet...my quistlas. But soon. Now, let us go. There is someone I want you to meet. " she said, her lips sliding over his own as he blinked. He had not been kissed in quite some time, and that simple action made his mind race thru the last time he and Zenra had made such a simple gesture.
And they were gone.
