MENDING - Rayaari FanFic

Part 49 - Pained Heart

The following morning, Raya woke early and she went to get refreshed. She didn't really have an appetite and just got a dark green coat and she informed a servant to tell her Ba that she'll be going to Fang. While on the way, she saw two Fang servants. She was startled by them but then felt relieved.

"Hello."

"Hello Princess Raya, toi am I happy to see you. We have a message for you." replied one of the servants, "Chief Virana wanted you to visit Fang."

"Oh...as a coincidence, that's where I'm headed." replied Raya.

"How wonderful. Would you like a ride?"

"Uh sure, thanks."

One of the servants helped her onto the serlot and they rode to Fang and didn't take a long time to arrive. The Sun was up and pelting on Fang. Namaari was on the training grounds having a sword fight with one of the warriors, Kerri. It was a way to not be mentally devoured by her thoughts of her Fiancée who was M.I.A. 

"Defeated me as usual, your majesty." said Kerri after Namaari struck her down.

Namaari went to help her up and said, "But you're getting better and better."

"Hmm, might be true but it won't be noticeable because you're unbeatable." said Kerri.

"I'm not, trust me. I've been defeated before..." Her mind went on Raya. Every moment she remembers her, it feels more and more painful.

Kerri saw the pain in her eyes and said, "Princess, are you okay?"

"Oh uh, no- Yeah I'm okay." Namaari cleared her throat and said, "Excuse me..."

She went to her room and closed the door. She needed to let out her emotions. She felt as though she shouldn't even be engaged to Raya. What's the point of being devoted to someone who will hurt you? Someone then knocked on her door.

"Princess Namaari?"

"Who is it?"

"Kerri. May I talk to you?"

"I want to be alone."

"Come on Namaari, I'm not going to just allow someone who I consider my friend to just be so dull. I wanna help you." said Kerri.

Namaari exhaled. "Fine. Enter."

Kerri slowly opened the door and said, "What's wrong your highness?"

"Just...things. But I'll be okay."

"You've been like this for days and I don't like to see you so sad. Wanna talk about it?" asked Kerri.

"No, it's too personal but things may be fine."

"I understand. Would sparring help? Or going for a jog?"

"I suppose."

"Okay then, let's go. What would you like to do first?"

Namaari then thought for a moment as said, "Hmm...I'd sure love to spar."

"Okay great."

They returned to the training grounds and got their weapons before beginning to spar. It was one of Kerri's strengths in combat and she surely gave Namaari a warm time.

Raya was being greeted with bows from the Fang citizens as she headed towards the palace. Chief Virana was talking with the General and was shocked to see Raya. She didn't expect her to arrive SOOOO quickly since she had sent out the letter only a few hours ago. She went to her and said, "Hello Princess, good morning."
