Akame Of The Dust,The Black Dragon

Akame,The Hidden Protector

"I think you understand why you're here––Black Dragon" Mun-deok sighed as he crossed his arms over his chest looking at the black haired girl who stood infront of him

"Yes...I owe you my life for saving me and caring for me all these years,nonetheless hiding my existence too.."Akame kneeled on one foot as she raised one of her hands on her chest

"You are the only incarnate of the Black Dragon,the strongest of all Dragons—Which only leads to—Death"Mun-deok sighed

"It's quite ironic that my power is death...But I,can never die" Akame chuckled a bit at her own remark

"If I'd left you all alone,I wouldn't be standing here alive right now along with the rest of the world.."Mun-deok said as the girl only smiled at him

"Please refrain from calling me the Black Dragon,You can address me by my name,Akame"Akame smiled at Mun-deok

"Akame,I've taught you how to control your powers,although you already know—Your powers are incredibly dangerous,With one move,death awaits..."Mun-deok said as the girl nodded

"Mun-deok~We've gone over this a thousand of times,When are you going to tell me the news?"Akame bugged as a nerve irked on Mun-deok's forehead

"As I was saying,The Emperor wants you and Hak to be Princess Yona's personal bodyguard"Mun-deok sighed

"Hak?Isn't he the one you adopted after me?...The obnoxious small boy with black hair and blue mean eyes?"Akame asked and Mun-deok sighed before nodding,her descriptions were on-point

"Hak is pretty close to Princess Yona,so he'll be by her side...As for you.."Mun-deok trailed off a bit

"You'll be guarding her from a far distance,The Emperor knows of your power,but not of the Dragon's Blood you hold"Mun-deok said

"I advised him that you can be Princess Yona's undercover boydguard and he agreed with it"Mun-deok added

"So tomorrow you'll be going with Hak to Fuuto an—"

"I'm going to the outside?!"Akame excitedly exclaims as she suddenly jumps up

"Yes,you are—But your mission is to guard Princess Yo—"

"Seriously?!I should pack my knives and swords and get ready for tomorrow!"Akame smiles as her red eyes gleam before she takes off

"Yo—na...."Mun-deok finally finished his sentence when Akame had already ran off excited for her new mission

"Well,You can't blame her..."A voice erupts behind Mun-deok

"That child...Has never stepped outside of the Wind Tribe's Village,It's her first time outside too"The voice continues

"Shut up,You know how dangerous it is to let her roam freely,but I suppose I can rest assured since she knows how to control her power..."Mun-deok sighs

"Will you be willing to be Princess Yona's bodyguard?"Emperor Ll,looked down at Hak and Hak stared at him for a while

"Yes..."Hak looked down as he drowned something in his thoughts

'Old Man said that Princess Yona would have two bodyguards,Plus–When I came here,a girl was accompanying us,Where is she?' Hak thought as he looked around but saw no one,nor did he detect Akame's presence

"He isn't even too sharp to sense me here..."Akame sighed as she leaned her back on the high tree watching Mun-deok,Hak and Emperor Ll

"But atleast I get to see the outside world again!"Akame grinned as she rested her arms at the nape of her neck before sighing happily as she closed her eyes

"That girl..."Mun-deok muttered under his breath when he finally detected  Akame's presence,at the top of the tree

"What was that,General Mun-deok?"The Emperor turned to Mun-deok

"A-ah,Nothing–Emperor Ll!I was just saying that it's quite cold out here!"Mun-deok covered up as he rushed the Emperor into a nearby room

He glanced back at the tree once more before sighing,Hak rose his eyebrow at what Mun-deok was sighing about and tracked his gaze unto the nearby tree

Hak narrowed his icy blue eyes and finally spotted the black-haired girl sitting calmly at the top

He flinched a bit,before shaking his head and cleaning his eyes hoping that he wasn't seeing things

"How come I didn't notice her there?..."Hak questioned himself as he walked away
•
Days and days had passed,every single day—Hak would feel an intense gaze watch him as he spent time with Princess Yona and Soo-Won

Today,they were playing in the snow,But as usual—Her gaze fell unto the backs of the kids

Of course,Princess Yona and Soo-Won,would not be able to detect a presence—A hidden presence,that is

Only Hak could,And he pretty much got tired of it,He sighed before shaping the snow into the shape of a ball

He glared at the tree for a while before aiming it at the trunk with the strongest throw he could muster

The tree's trunk shook for a bit,And a girl with long black hair wearing a black robe appeared

Her legs were dangled on the tree's branches,so she was only upside-down as she was in clear vision

"I figured that wasn't enough to make you fall down..."Hak sighed as he smirked at her

"I figured a small boy like you could throw that weak~"The girl teased back,Hak burst a nerve and was about to throw another snowball at her

But before it even hit her,she had already blended in and hidden deep within the tree

"Hak,Who was that?.."Princess Yoka gripped Hak's sleeve as she looked at him with questioning eyes

"She's like me...But a female version"Hak tried his best to explain

"You...But female version?"Soo-Won stilfed his laughter along with Princess Yona

"Stop laughing at me!"Hak said as he threw snowballs at both of them

When Hak turned back to look at the tree,hoping he would see her—A snowball was thrown in his face

"Why,you....!"Hak was clearly angry at the act and started stomping on the tree's trunk hoping she'd fall down

"Idiot,That isn't enough to make me fall~"Akame smiled a bit

"Atleast I got to play a bit~"Akame warmly smiled as she returned her gaze to Princess Yona,Soo-Won and Hak
