Lucias: MY LADY!?! (He ran to me, who was laying motionless in the grass that surrounded me.) HEY! (He picked me up, laying me in his lap.) My lady!? (He felt for a pulse, cupping my cheek in his hand.) LADY DIANA!!!
(He could feel my breathing, as he hugged me, and he took me to a huge dark sanctuary with an emblem of a full moon on the royal doors.) Don't worry. I'm here for you...
Time skip - awhile later.
Aruka: Mmmnngh... (I slowly gained consciousness, and looked around to notice I was in the realm.) Hm...? (I looked to my right side, and see the kind man, Lucias, sitting there, watching over me. He smiled at me, and I slowly sat up.) Lucias, where are we...?
(He tensed.) I was just in the village, where Zenix had attacked, and fainted after I took shelter..., now I'm here... (I looked around the grand sanctuary, which was lit up with a mysterious bluish purple light in every other area of the halls and pillars.)
Where exactly is here, Lucias....? (He smiled, giving me a cup of tea.) It looks... a bit..... (I narrowed my eyes.) Familiar.... (He hugged me, and I hugged him.)
Lucias: Thank Diana, you're alright...! (I giggled.) We're in your sacred sanctuary, my lady. Now... (He released me, wearing a rather serious face.) What's this about someone attacking the village... ? (His look was stern, and I sighed, knowing he won't let go of the cause of my wounds.)
Aruka: I have no choice in matter, now do I? (I looked down, as I told him everything that happened there and how I got my injuries.) 'I know he may feel a bit mad and protective, but he would tell me this stuff if I asked...'
(Though, he was willing to listen, after I stopped, he looked like something bothered him, and he thought of something, before the tower bell rung.) !! No! (I hugged him, in a tight grip.) I don't want to go back! 'You have no idea what hell I just went through..!' I wanna stay with you, please Lucias!
Lucias: As much as I'd love that, you know that you are needed there. (He scoffed, and he sighed, as kissed my forehead.) I can't believe I'm doing this... (He whispered, grabbing the small bottle of elixir around his neck, as the last bell rang, and the bright light consumed us once again.)
Time skip - Early morning.
Aruka:... (I was no longer conscious, but I was back in village, by the sense of people rushing around me. It seemed like early morning. There were some who asked about how I was doing, what injuries I had left to heal, and when I would wake up?) 'So, many voices...'
(Though, I was grateful to know they were concerned about me, none of the voices I heard belonged to Garroth. This worried me.... a lot.... where could he be if not here...? I could tell, by the villagers' words that the attack of Zenix was over, and he was no where in sight.) 'Wait, Zenix was Garroth's apprentice...? No wonder... his pride...'
(But, I also caught word of how their fight went down, and how Garroth's helm fell off. I sat up, as others began to panic, and noticed I couldn't see anything at all.) Zoey, give me my sight back... (Yes, I knew about her and others around the village, but didn't much mind.)
Zoey: I won't give it back, until your wounds heal, Aruka. You're just gonna have to wait, until your sight returns on its own. (I instantly touch my face, only to feel the cloth around my face, and sighed, relieved.)
Don't worry, Lady Aruka. No one knows what you look like. (She giggled.) I know you don't want to show your face, because you have a past. (I nodded, feeling a cup on the desk beside my bed.)
I see you're getting use to this. (I took the cup in hand.) Its herbal tea. I make it for healing remedies and such. (I took a sip of it and smiled, a little.) How beautiful.....
Aruka: Zoey, just to clarify, I'm not preferred to stay here, am I? (She shook her head, as I stood up. There is a reason she isn't in a panic of my disappearance, and it's because over the two weeks Aphmau has been gone, I had a few of those events where I physically disappear to that Lunar Realm.)
'At least the worst is over, and Zenix is gone... for now...' (It caused some of the villagers to panic, but I made sure to tell them I would always come back.) I'm taking a walk to find Garroth. (I looked down, even though I couldn't see, and sighed.) I need to thank him for having my back.
(I got my things and ran up the stairs.) Dale knows where he is. (I found the door, and left tracing the scent of Dale around the village, careful not to bump into anything, since it isn't my first time being blind, but that's a story for another time.) 'He's here...'
(I found him near the mines, and sensed someone in the mines, as well, like the calming presence I'm use to, but it was disturbed by something troubling.) 'Garroth...?' Dale, I'm here to ask about Garroth's whereabouts.
(He hesitated, thinking over it.) If you're worried about what Garroth said before he hid, I'm temporarily blind, until I heal completely.
Dale: How did you become blind...?! (I could tell he was shocked, and told him Zoey did it to limit my body use for fighting or doing any work around the village.) Oh. That sounds like her, well I guess you can go on in, if you don't pry in his personal business. (I nodded, feeling the wall, as I walked in the mines.)
Author: Hey! 😝 Well, guess this is it, til next time. Bye~!
