The Weak And Helpless (Yona of the dawn)

Departure

Everyone was working away but me. I couldn't, the dust that rose when ever I tried was to much for my lungs and made me gag. I was already taking shallow breaths and resisting the temptation of taking large deep breaths.

Suddenly the wall everyone was digging began to shake. Again and again it trembled until light pierced through and and rubble went everywhere. Gija turned toward Yona and shielded her from the rubble as Yun did the same for me.

I watched at Gija took a hit to the head from a large rock protecting Yona. Yun winced as a rock hit his back. The rest of the rubble when flying in all directions. Once it had subsided Yun stepped way. I immediately hugged him. Jumping up so I could reach his neck. My little feet hung in the air.

Yun wrapped his hands around my back and hugged me back bending down so I wouldn't chock him. "Thank you, Yun!" I whispered hugging him tighter. "It means the world to know someone would shield me from harm with their own body. I hope to do the same for someone else one day." I utter quietly as Yun puts me down.

I turn toward the wall to see it demolished. "Princess!" Hak yelled walking through the hole that he had made. "Hak!" Yona cried relieved. Hak ran over to Yona and embraced her in a tight grip.

When Hak finally pulled away I ran up to Hak leaping up into the air and rapping my hands around his neck like I had done to Yun. "Hak!" I beamed happy to see him. He looked at me and noticed my few bruises. "What happened to you!" He demanded quickly hugging me back then putting me down. Examining me closely.

I continued to smile at him. "I got crushed by a boulder." I said cheerfully. "What!" Hak shouted looking at me with wide surprised eyes. I raised my hands to clam him down. "I'm fine."I reassured as he began walking around me, looking for serious injures. He of course found none.

"I just pushed a village man out of the way of an on coming boulder." I continued to explain. "Yea, a villager who tried to kill you." Yun reminded blankly. I scratched the back of my head laughing lightly. "Oh, yea. I guess I forgot about that. But I lived didn't I?" I replied.

"How did you even live through something like that." Hak asked. "Um, I guess I forgot to mention that didn't I? The boulder had a hole in it." I answered claiming out of the hole that Hak had made. I squinted my eyes as I reached the outside. The sun, it hurt my eyes.

The villagers start claiming out the hole thanking Hak for saving them and a few that thanking me for saving a friend. The man I had saved walked up to me. I smiled at him sweetly as I looked him up and down.

"I'm happy to see your ok." I beamed. The man looked baffled. "Y-You too.." he mumbles. The mans looks me in the eyes and takes off him mask. "I have to know, Why did you save me?" He pleads.

"Because, it was the right thing to do. You have a family don't you? An idea for the future. I couldn't let someone with so many people who cared for them die now, could I." I chirped. The man looked at Hak, Yona, Yun, and Gija.

He nodded towards them. "Those people seem to care about you. They shredded the boulder you where in to find you, and busted through a stone wall to reach you. Why would you be willing to leave people who care about you so much?" The man questioned.

I tilted my head. Good question why did I do that. "I guess it was because I knew they would be ok without me. Besides I'm not looking forward to dying but at least when I do I'll see both my parents again." I replied. The mans eyes widens when he heard me talk about my parents.

"It was nice meeting you." I continued and turned around running over to where Hak and the others were.
