Dawn of a new day
"The hell?"
A gruff and irritated voice exclaimed as the parental rulers stoped talking and looked for the source of the voice "I was in war for crying out loud..." He said his voice a low whisper while his eyes were shut from the new wave of pain that flowed over his body, his eyes quickly shot open to look at the people he called his family "COULDN'T YOU HAVE LET ME SLEEP FOR MORE THAN 3 DAYS!?" "Kazashi! Good lord, your awake!" Narashi exclaimed as she ignored his screaming and stumbled over to her son to embrace him in a hug.
"D-did you hear what the doctor said?" Her mother said worryingly while the male groaned "No" kazashi said bluntly yet tried to gently move her away "You've been poisoned" his father, king Testu said with a scrowl on his face "And?" They all stare at him as he glares at his father "I feel deeply offended as I have been in 7 wars of our kingdom, fought countless man with only a sword, got my fucking arms dislocated kazashi paused" nearly drowned, was drowned! "He crosses his arms "went through a shit tone of your training " he glares at his father again "what's a little poison gonna do to me?,huh?" "Paralize you completely before a span of 3 days and in 6 you'll be, um,-" the doctor exclaimed but couldn't finish her sentence, she was Infront of royalty after all
"dead" the king said nonchalantly
"and the cure?????" Kazashi had a calm face with a hint of annoyance like a teacher teaching the same thing over and over to n uncaring student.
"Well-" the doctor began "It's the leaves of the satoru tree that is grown in the district of cikena" the queen answered as she looked at the prince, her son, it takes 5 hours to get there ,but the leaves must be consumed 30 seconds after being picked" her face had none to one emotion visible as she explained.
Kazashi looked to the side a bit sad but moreover pretty damn pissed ehtereal he thought, the name sounding foreign from how long he hasn't said it. Now to the pissed part "hey I can just use my art and telepo-"nope I'm afraid you cannot use you quirk speed it up to about 2 days to live, your body would be too weak because the source of your art is connected to your life force ,your highness" the doctor explained
The king clicked his tongue "just go with Ryushiro-" his father suggested "Oh hell to the no!" Kazashi apposed almost immediately his father's glare deepend "you would know to respect me boy" he warned as kazashi growled slightly, he may have not the animal art but he did have enhanced speed,agility, hearing, site and sometimes noises.
"Oh,come-on wouldn't you wanna go on a field trip with your little brother?" The upbeat voice of his brother spoke getting closer to kazashi "wouldn't you want to see the good old childhood neighborhood?" His half dragon brother persuaded, kazashi looked close to killing the boy "you would know that that place is in ruins!" He spet back "And I would gladly go, just not with the lights of you!" Kazashi yelled as he pushed him away by the face with a pissed of expression "oh come on how do you expect to get the leaves- oh yeah, what do they look like, the leaves I mean" Ryushiro faced and asked the doctor.
"well the tree is normal in structure, but the leaves you need are white on the top and transfer into a dark purple on the bottom, the tree also yields apple like fruits. The apples are the main thing to look for, it's just that they aren't many on a satoru tree, you would usually find 3 to 7 on each tree, the leaves are the second option but just as better you would usually boil them to make a remedy but your on a strict time set, so you should just eat them as they are".
"Got it!" Ryushiro exclaimed
enthusiastically as he walked to the doorway of the tent and looked at kazashi "let's go" as he took out a gold ring from kazashi the prince following in suit as the half dragon created a portal from the ring and held kazashi close and jumped through the portal.
. . .
"RYUUUUUUSHHIROOOOOO!!!!" kazashi yelled as they fell through the sky ,were the portal had brought them "Hahahah!!!" The half dragon laughed as his skin produced scales black in color and he did an endless tumble in the air
which increased his speed. With a small roar he released his curled form. A long Black tail and large dark wings sprouted from his back, it's eyes a dark shade of red as it soured towards kazashis falling bodyand it schooped him up by his back "fucking finally!" Kazashi yelled as they headed for their target
. . .
Back in the kingdom of cikena , the roots of a satoru tree shook in it's place violently place.
. . .
Back with kazashi and Ryushiro ( the princes ).
They had been flying for the past 2 hours, it would take another 3 to get to cikena and roughly around
2 to 4 hours to find a satoru tree, they were rare so it was hard to find them.
Ryushiro was getting tired so he turned around, it was already evening in time and fortunately enough he found a cave to set up camp.
After setting up a fire for warmth in his dragon form he transformed back but he felt off "hey, kazashi? You ok?" Ryushiro asked, kazashi was at the entrance of the cave staring at the stars looking completely lost in his train of though, Ryushiro guessed he didn't hear him so he went closer.
The dragon hybrid sat down close to his brother as the blowing breeze swayed their hair "hey, you good?" He asked again, the other prince kazashi kept his gaze towards the stars "am fine" kazashi replied instantly without bating an eyelash "you sure?-" " I SAID IM FINE" Kazashi yelled.
Ryushiro soften his gaze "zashi, I've known you for a pretty long time.. and it's obvious that you're upset about something" the half dragon deadpanded , as the other prince scoffed "I'm serious, I know that there's something wrong, I would never judge you ok, am here to help?" The scaled prince really had little to absolute no Idea on what's causing kazashis extra salty mood, he's horrible at asking for help and expressing how he feels , but he had to try.
...silence ...
The wind softly passes by them as
a sigh escaped from the white haired prince as he softly held the ends of hair that were close to his forehead.
"Looking down "I kno-," he paused for a moment to gather up his thoughts "I know where to find a satoru tree" he said as he looked to the side with his signature irritated look.
