Who A Guardian is Meant to Be

Picking up the pieces

After the battle soon finished not many people were seriously hurt except destiny, melody, Ophelia and later on another 2 friends of hers. The two things that these people had in common was 1. They were all squad leaders of the different armies 2. They were all close to alama but so we're all her people so that reason somewhat differs on the words

Alama's POV
All of our injured soldiers have finally been treated except the 5 squad leaders they were still in rehab. It's like they've been poisoned, all of them aren't waking up and don't show any signs of that anytime soon. Our nurses are on there full time care because unfortunately because destiny is out I have to watch both sectors but even I don't have time to grief over my family nor friends at this moment. Luckily no one in the war died at least not on our half but on the dark lords we slaughtered thousands on his warrior including my truest friend............
Well atleast what I thought to be... " no, no" I say shaking my head. I finally realise I'm walking into the east-west forest, nearly even to the hollow. Maybe I could see my old friend Marco, he was a child hood friend from when I was 8, we both grew up in side by side forests and later on they united into the enchanted forest, that's why they ended up fighting in our war. But who am I kidding, he has a life a family and he's only 19 heck I'm 17 and I haven't even dated a guy. But I still march over to the east-west forest until I arrive at the gates. The hollow is very beautiful they decorated all of there forest with fire flies and flowering vines covered the trees. When I arrived at the gate the first thing that caught my eye and always does is how big there forever tree is, if you don't know about forever trees il give you some back story. Forever trees are gods of the trees they are humongous, and are only places by gods and few guardians. These trees are known to protect the lands as a barrier and every wing of the forest has one. There apparently a blessing to have and that's why our forest unlike others is magical, it's because the trees enchant the area and that's what attracts all the mythical animals like fairies and mythics.

As I walk down a vined path I come across some guards dressed in leafs and vinery. " business" says one of the guards " in here to visit an old friend, stand down " I look him in the eye and he bows down signalling that I may pass, so I do. I keep walking past small shops and houses. Once I see the palace guards I know I'm at the central ( the castles grown's ) I politely ask to go threw but they deny " I demand access!" I say firmly but the guard will not stand down " miss the mishaka wishes that no one visits him currently" she says. I feel kinda offended that she doesn't recognise me so I stand up tall, look her in the eye and say " I AM THE MILLANA OF THE EAST-SOUTH AND THE GUARDIAN OF THE ENTIRE FOREST " she looks scared, I hope I didn't shout to loud because it seems Iv caught quite a few guards attention " miss I apologise I didn't recognise you " she says with sympathy and opens the castle gate "thank you , and I'm sorry for shouting it's been a long week "I say " no problem we know about the tragic events that happened to poor destiny" he looks even more sympathetic then before " destiny wasn't the only one hurt so was Leanardo, Melody, Ophelia and Thalia " I say looking really confused " don't you kno- miss just go to prince Marco he should tell you instead of me " he says holding his head low " okay? " I say sounded super confused, which isn't far from the truth I'm worried and confused but I can only show one of those. I threw the castle doors and I'm greeted by Marco, he has a sad but warm smile on his face and opens up his arms. I'm not sure what's going on? " Marco hey one of the guards told me to see you if I wanted to know more about destiny and the bad news?" I say " oh.... Uh destiny, she, I ummmmmm .........,,,she didn't make it threw recovery" as he says those words my heart shatters. how didn't I know, how couldn't of I known" what?........" my hearts breaking and I'm showing it tears welt in my eyes and stream down my face. My whole face shows that I'm sad and I'm glad I'm just with Marco and none of his subjects " Ali, I'm so sorry " he says as he hugs me tight, I hug him back and end up crying into his shoulder " when...." I say threw my tears...." about 4 hours ago we got the news, probably when you were walking over here it happened......" he says trying not to cry with me. I pull out of his arms and wipe my eyes with my sleeve. I try to pull myself together but my life just keeps falling apart. " Ali, you know it's okay to cry? Right, it's not a crime and I know your meant to be a shield but that doesn't mean you can't grief for your loved ones" he says looking me directly in the eye holding my shoulders " no it's not I like you said an a shield and these things do not defy me or cloud my judgement I will stand as a warrior and forget about the events that come as a guardian and a protector..." I say " alama the words destiny crammed into your head don't mean exactly that. You have he right to feel the grief for them and you don't have to always follow that code like a manual " he says shaking me " I somehow manage a little smile and so does he " shut up dummy " I say punching his arm " I didn't come here to dilly dally I came here to discuss a recovery camp for all the wounded soldiers " he gives me a look and says" yeah right, but that doesn't sound like a bad idea that honestly sounds like a good course of action  that I think we should follow " he says walking up the palace stairs, I follow close behind him and he takes me up to a balcony that overlooks a huge gorge filled with grass flowers and wyverns, a bit like the one we has in the east-south " wanna see me do something stupid " I say with a grin " depends what it is, just don't get yourself killed " he says " it's a 50/50 chance it depends how fast my wyvern gets here " I say smiling" wait what- " I cut him off when I stand on he rails and scream BOMBS AWAY as I jump into the gorge and shout" ALYALYAALYAALLLYYYY" im legit free falling and I'm not that scared " YOUR REALLY STUPID YOU KNOW THAT?!" Marco screams while looking off he balcony " I KNOW " I reply back, and now I'm definetly not scared as I see Natiri fly down the Gorge to catch me. She swoops down and picks me up but I forgot one small thing it's mating season and in this wyvern gorge there are massive males. Once I'm on Natiri a male wyvern rams the side of Natiri and I hold on but to my surprise as soon as I thought he was gone HE RAMS HER SIDE AGAIN?! This time I wasn't so lucky and I slide of her back screaming as I fell in and I'm pretty sure I can hear Marco screaming with me but he's kinda shouting at me about how stupid I am " NATIRI SERIOUSLY" I say as I see her flying off " well great just my luck huh" but to be honest I think I'd do the same thing and that male was jet black with gold stripes on him that's how I knew he was male because all males have gold stripes on there necks and females more get patterns in gold . But this really isn't helping me because I'm Close to hitting the bottom and his gorge is a lot bigger LIKE 12 TIMES BIGGER. And to top it all off I'm not even in a landing position I'm just falling backwards trying to turn around or summon my wings NEITHER ARE WORKING well my wings can out but there weren't helping they just dragged me down even faster. So great I'm going to die from my stupidity, well I'm probably not gonna die from this but il sure get some bad bruises. I get ready to take impact and I slam the ground hard my vision slowly starts to fade away, UGH back is killing and I'm soaking in a pool of blood , But to my surprise I soon see Marco flying down on his wyvern and Natiri coming to help him. He runs over to me and he lays my head on his legs " YOU ARE COMPLETELY UNETHICALLY STUPID " He shouts " heh see you on the other side " I say as my vision fades completely and I pass
