The snap of a twig snapped me out of my thoughts.

We where at the border of the wind tribe. Hak and Yona where talking, the others still walking. They where only now noticing that people where watching us.

Jae-ha suddenly jumped in front of one of the figures.

"Do you have business with us?" Jae-ha smiled, waving. A person came up behind him and his smile faded.

Kija's hand suddenly grew, and he came up behind Jae-ha. Shin-ha also unsheathed his sword when we noticed how many people where around us.

"Oh my, it looks like we have more spectators then I thought" Jae-ha hummed. 

"Who are you!?" Kija called. 

"We come from the country of Xing" A man answered. My frowned deepened. 

What would Xing want with us? 

Their princesses... I hadn't been in contact with them for a long time. King Il had made sure that I had a friendly relationship with some one high up in every kingdom. I had helped the princesses one time, treated them like they where princesses, not gods. At the time, they had adored me. But I'd been called back to Kouka to officially become Yona's body guard, so we never became more then friends.

"Are you guys... The monsters of Kouka?" The soldiers asked, obviously not noticing me yet. I quietly slid my hood up, not going unnoticed by our group.

"First you appear without warning, then you ask us if we are monsters? That's pretty rude if you ask me. After all, look how beautiful and good-looking we are" Jae-ha boasted. I wanted to punch him.

Xing wanted strength. They didn't care for looks. It was considered weak.

That's why I loved Xing.

"Are you the beautiful monsters of Kouka?" The man corrected.

"Your asking for me?" Jae-ha asked.

"You're a pushover, droopy eyes" Hak said

"Even if we were these beautiful monsters you speak off..." Jae-ha began.

"What business do you have with us?" Kija finished. A familiar man now stepped forward, his smile hidden by a mask, much like all his other men. I clenched my fists.

This man was Princess Tao's bodyguard... Vold...

He dropped from the cliff, striding closer as Hak unsheathed his blade. It was silent for a second, before...

"We surrender!" They all cried, dropping onto their knees, pressing their heads against the foreground. Our group blinked, stunned. I just crossed my arms. It's just like them.

"Wait a second-" Hak began.

"We surrender!" They cried again.

"No, really, even if you tell us your surrendering with out fighting-" Hak began again.

"Raise the white flag!" Vold cried. 

"We get it already! Geez! What's with you guys?" Yoon cried.

"Apologies for our rudeness... My name is Vold, and I am a servant of the second princess of Xing, Princess Tao" He explained.

"A princess of Xing?" Yoon cried.

"I don't think we can trust people who hide their faces" Kija said, his hand growing slightly. A scream then sailed through the air, which reminded me so much of a fan girl.

"It's the real thing!" The guy gasped. 

"It's just like the rumors say! The monsters of Kouka really do exist!?" Another gasped.
