Navan stood in front of QQ holding his shining silver sword out. From QQ's angle behind him, he looked dashing, her real knight.

"Just give her up, you can never defeat me," Kageyama mocked, clearly very confident about himself.

"We'll see about that," Navan said, charging forward with all his might, sword aiming directly at Kageyama's chest.

Kageyama swayed to his left, easily avoiding Navan, causing him to miss and fall to the ground with a face-plant. Navan got up quickly to swish his sword towards Kageyama. He missed again and fell to the ground.

"So you want to play? Well then... let's play," with that Kageyama pulled out his own sword and pointed it at Navan. "I'm the King here."

QQ watched the intense battle as the two boys swished around and charged their swords at each other. Every now and then a branch from the tree would be cut off and some leaves will fall. The garden was pretty small for such a fight, but in their fantasy world it was as big as an arena.

Navan's arm was accidentally sliced by Kageyama's sword, blood dripping down the surface of his skin and on Kageyama's sword. Kageyama took this opportunity to bring down the sharp edge of his sword onto Navan. Swiftly, Navan used his own sword to shield himself, leaving the swords hovering above his face by only a few inches.

"No!!! Navan!!!" QQ shrieked after catching up with all the drama that was happening. "You can do it! Defeat him, for me!"

Navan found power in QQ's words, and the pain in his upper arm seemed to be non-existent. With all the remaining strength he had left in him, he pushed up as hard as he could, causing Kageyama to give in and fall on his back.

"No... I can't lose... not to a pathetic human LIKE YOU! I'll be back... just you wait..." Kageyama threatened, before magically melting into the shadow of a tree. He was gone.

"Yay you defeated him!!! I knew you could do it!" QQ said cheerfully, engulfing Navan into a warm hug. Just as she touched him he groaned in pain. She had totally forgotten about his wound, and accidentally squeezed it.

"Let's get inside so I can patch you up!" QQ said, tugging onto Navan to drag him into the castle.

-

"Does it hurt?" QQ asked sweetly as she used a piece of cotton damp with medicine to gently dab onto his wound. Of course it hurt what was she thinking.

"It doesn't hurt now, because you are treating me~" Navan replied with a smirk. QQ sighed, how could this boy make jokes even at a time like this, he is really unpredictable.

He took QQ's hand and concealed it in his own hands. "It's all over now, no one will take you away from me anymore. I will stay by your side forever and make sure no one harms you."

It was finally the end... or so he thought.

-

QQ and Navan were having a happy breakfast together in the dining room in Navan's castle. His best chef had done the cooking for them that morning and you could smell the aroma of omelette and bacon from the living room. To top it all off they had a drink of freshly squeezed lemonade.

While they were enjoying their meal, chatting and laughing, a dark aura could be felt from a few metres away from the table in the large spacious room. It was like black smoke but it wasn't smoke either.

From inside the blackness emerged a dude with his golden crown decorated with jewels, on his back a red velvet cape. Behind him was what seemed like his crew, or an entire army.

"Remember me? I may not swing a sword well, but I am skillful with volleyballs. I told you I would be back." the voice said followed by a smirk and evil laugh.
