Back to You - Dan Heng IL, Blade

9. A Shadow

"Hah... No camera, no internet, no music, how am I supposed to calm down?" Dan Heng sighed annoyed as he was walking around the courtyard... followed by three shinobi armored like they were about to kill him whatever movement not accepted from his Highness he would have made.

He sat nearby a little pond to then notice some maids rushing in and out different parts of the manor with decorations and other things.

Apparently the day of the big feast Blade talked about was soon and Dan Heng definitely couldn't think about any escape plan considering the whole manor had many people just running around and all the guards were called back to make sure the whole city was prepared to welcome the nobles.

He looked up the sky and sighed heavily to then look at his own hands "I wonder if I actually can heal, it's his body" he grit his teeth "Actually... If I don't manage to show off my powers, will the Holy Order think I am an impostor? But Blade said I actually healed myself while I was asleep so... I can but how" he sighed and lay on the grass, trying to ignore the fact the shinobi guarding him were keeping a little distance.

He closed his eyes and for a moment he smiled, seeing the images of him and his best friend laying on the grass, talking about anything and enjoying the little free time they's find for each others.

"I am trying my best" Dan Heng spoke to himself, covering his face with an arm, trying to calm down "But why can't I see anything good in my mind?" the sun rays were caressing his body covered by a kimono the maids left in his room. It was comfortable and at least clean. It was a simple white kimono with the last garment azure, and what was funny is that the azure was pretty much close to the colour of his eyes. It really looked almost made for him.

"I don't even know where to go if I escape" he muttered to himself to then feel less light trying to annoy his eyes. He moved the arm and almost flinched as he noticed Blade leant a little to cover the light and look at him

"Oh, you're still planning to escape" he said as he crossed his arms and Dan Heng rolled his eyes

"Your Highness' fault for eavesdropping" he replied and Blade tilted his head amused "Aren't you busy trying to do your.." he moved his hands annoyed "Evil plans of conquering the world blabla?" he asked

"My main mission right now is to be sure you get back your memories, this is why I managed to avoid to kill every priest of your sanctuary" he almost made a man fall on Dan Heng

"Holy Priest! You're alive!" a man laid the hands on Dan Heng's arms and shook him a little like he couldn't believe he was real "Thank the Gods!" he cried as Blade was smirking seeing Dan Heng's lips twitching

"Can people stop TOUCHING ME?!" Dan Heng cried out "Who are you now?!"

"What? I am your loyal servant! I used to escort you whenever you had to be part of the rituals!" he smiled nervously as a hint and Dan Heng couldn't really catch it in the moment

"What? Rituals?" Dan Heng was getting headaches by just breathing next to that man who smiled with tears in his eyes like he was glad he was alive "Was I something like a Ghostbuster now or what?" he stroke his own hair feeling just more confused

"As you can see, Priest, the Imbibitor has clearly forgotten even you" Blade sighed to then smile and draw his sword "If you can't help us, then I guess you can die"

Dan Heng opened up his eyes as Blade was about to slash him. The red eyes of the Prince opened up as he noticed Dan Heng hugging the man

"Oh HOLY PRIEST! YOU BROUGHT LIGHT TO MY SEA OF DARKNESS, I SAW IT, I SAW YOU, MY FRIEND" he shouted to then look at Blade "I do remember!" he exclaimed and Blade tilted his head
