I Remember (Akatsuki no Yona Fanfiction)

The Things You Hope for the Most are the Things that Destroy You in the End.

If you're wondering, Ryuu looks like in the picture! With her right eye yellow(Like Shin-ha), and left eye green. In case you didn't read the bio, Ryuu inherited a fraction of every dragon's power, and they don't show unless Ryuu is using them. Hope you get it and keep that in mind as you read!)

It continued to rain, shouting, sounds of metal clashing and the smell of blood filled the air, threatening the usual peace of the night. Everywhere you looked there was a lifeless body blocking your sight, not exactly a scenery Ryuu liked very much.

She turned her attention back to Yona, watching as water dripped down Yona's tear stained cheeks. Those were not tears, for she had stopped crying, finally letting the truth of the death of King Il sink into her mind. Was this what King II wanted? It couldn't be that he didn't knew of the danger of being a royalty. His wife was killed as a result. Yet he pampered his only daughter, gave her everything she wanted, and sheltered her from the harshness of the world. Did he really believe it was the way? Did he not predict that something like this will happen? Ryuu never understood King Il, never attempted to anyway, but this is affecting Yona, in other words also affecting herself a little too much too her liking. She did not believe the life of the red dragon would be a easy one, but this was not the way she had expected things to go.

'Well, I guess we don't have a choice, do we?'

Things usually never go the way Ryuu wanted them, so she decided to make the best of the situation never less. After all, there isn't always a choice.

"Withdraw, servant. You do realize that you are standing before King Soo-won, the new master of the Hiryuu Castle." Kye-Sook spoke, his stern tone indicating absolute dominance over the situation. Hak however displayed no sign of acknowledgement for the man, only eyeing Soo-won with a fierce gaze.

"Who is the master of what? Lord Soo-won, I have a bad feeling about this, so I'll ask. Where is King Il?"

Ryuu wondered what kind of answer Hak wanted to hear. That King Il is fine and all of this is a bad joke? Why try to complicate things when they are actually so simple?

"I just sent him to hell."

There was a nasty silence. Ryuu actually liked Soo-Won's answer, which was straight to the point and easy to understand. But apparently Hak didn't. Without warning, Hak pushed his signature weapon onto the ground in anger, using enough force to crack it, but Ryuu could tell that Hak was using all his might to hold back from slashing it onto Soo-Won.

"Are you drunk? Even jokes have their limits, Lord Soo-Won."

"You can ask Princess Yona, she just confirmed the King's death with her own eyes."

Yona, who was kneeling on the ground, looked down upon hearing those words, and started tearing up again, causing Ryuu much annoyance with the intense headache.

'What a pain...' Ryuu thought, looking around. Hak was a stubborn one indeed, like Yona, refusing to accept the already known truth. Do people nowadays like to create drama?(and more headache for Ryuu?)

Ryuu tried made do with her head, sitting on the ground beside Yona, trying to block it out with little success. Hak, on the other hand, certainly did not intend to make do with his anger, and went charging at Soo-Won, engaging in a fight.

"Soo-Won, tell me the truth!"

Soo-Won, on the other hand, seemed unusually calm. He managed to defend all strikes coming from Hak, impressing Ryuu. She had previously considered fighting Hak almost impossible for a human. Soo-Won was never known for his skills(unlike Hak), but he is definitely not someone you'd look down upon, Ryuu made a mental note to herself about that. Then again, perhaps Hak was still holding back.
