True Fantasia

Chapter 4: Wings of glory

Von walks through the savannah like area for what feels like forever, drenched with sweat. His upper eyelid stuck in place, and his eyes dry. He takes out a water bottle, opening the cap and holding it over his mouth. Nothing comes out. He pats the bottom which was pointing in the sky and small little drops come out. He slammed it down in anger, crumpling it, and rendering it unusable. He looks around, and sees some weird plant. It was green and prickly. His mouth was practically numb so he didn't care if this hurt. He opened his mouth wide and took a bit out of it. The needles go through his cheek and tongue, hurting at first but later getting nullified because of the dryness. He lifts his head up, with the plant still on his mouth. He pulls out its roots and all of the water goes into his mouth. He spits it out, then walks. The golden orange sun is mostly blinding him, but he starts to see something like a wall, a gate, and a tower. He doesn't wanna get his hopes up, but he is pretty certain that it is the kingdom he lived in before his training. He runs towards it, igniting his feet to run faster. Once he gets to it, he drops before he can realize it was the kingdom. A girl with a hat and a cape sees him fainted on the ground and picks him up. He's a bit heavy for her at first but she makes her way to the castle. She jumps up to a window, putting his shirt against a rail as if she hanged a coat or a hat. She opens it up and grabs him, throwing him on the bed. Although fainted, his body could feel his body landing on the bed, an amazing feeling. This person, she takes off the stuff hiding who she is, revealing she is the princess. The more time Von spends in this room, the more he gets used to it. The smell, it's so authentic. It's as if he's in a flower field, blooming with scent. His senses spike, feeling his pants go down, and he quickly lifts his drooped head from slumber. He remembers his past trauma of being a sex slave in his old neighborhood so with no hesitation, Von opens up his legs and puts them around the princess' head, and slams her body into the brick wall. He got up, putting his belt back on and his pants up as well. He looked at who he threw, his jaw completely dropping with the recognition of the stranger. "OH FUCK OH FUCK! I THREW THE GODDAMN PRINCESS! I'M GONNA GET EXECUTED!!" He said to himself, then charging his body towards the window, and almost jumped out before the princess said something.

" Wait! I was just trying to clean your clothes... " She says, standing up and holding her nose as it leaks out blood. Von turns around, sitting on the window. He sucks his teeth in, feeling a bit remorseful for hurting a kind soul like her on accident.

" Oh uh, sorry about that. I thought you were trying to do what those dirty prostitutes do.", Von tells her, realizing how big of a mistake that was. The princess gasps, then standing up and doing a slapping motion, a transparent blue hand slaps Von across the head so hard it's like he's bouncing from both sides of the window. He leans back into the room, falling down as his temple throbbed in agony.

" Now, give me your clothes, and I'll go wash them for you. " She says, crossing her arms while standing on him. Von wondered why she was so nice, maybe it's because he doesn't look a lot like himself as in how he used to look. He stands up, waving his hand in front of her as black embers keep her eyes from opening. He takes off his clothes, and looks in the mirror for a second. His muscles were defined, and he had a pretty visible 6 pack. His legs could be better, but that was the least of his worries right now. Throwing his dirty garments on her hands, then searching through her clothes, finding something and taking a deep breath in before putting it on. He undoes the ember lock he put on her eyes, as she opens it and just sees him in a dress. She puts her hand over her mouth, holding in her laugh. Von sighs.

" Ok look, it's the only thing I could find. " He crosses his arms before she leaves the room, laughing. As she does, the door is a bit open and for a brief second, he sees his old friend, Hie. A feeling of pure happiness lights up in him. He sees himself and Hie, younger as holographs in front of him. As he does, the blue soul finally shows up, landing on his head and resting. He snaps out of his vision and pets the blue soul on his head. While he does that, the princess comes back with some replacement clothes that look like his but not really. He does his ember lock technique on her, closing her eyes again before putting these clothes on. He looks at himself, flexing his muscles and kissing them. He unlocks the ember lock technique and she opens her eyes. She starts to see who this man really is.
