Tale Of The White Wolf [River Of Wonders - 2]

9: Madness of Aka Shisen

Rose moved backwards as Shisen moved towards her. "We are leaving the palace. And you are coming with me." He said and grabbed her hand. He dragged her towards the queen's room. On their way Rose pushed Shisen away and tried to run away. "Stop it, Rose!!" He grabbed her but she kept pushing him away. Angrily, he grabbed her from both hands.

"Let go!!!" Rose shouted and pushed him away with such force that she hit the wall behind her and fell on the ground, unconscious. Shisen looked at her furiously and took her in his arms and walked towards her room, instead of going to the queen.

Rose opened her eyes and found herself lying on her bed. Shisen was sitting on the edge of her bed. He looked up as she moved. "Stay away from me." Rose whispered as he stood up and moved his hand towards her. He stopped and stood up straight.

"Rose, you are making me angry. I am already mad on the king and now your behaviour is annoying me. Will you stop it?" He asked, anger pumping through his veins.

"Get hell out of here and leave the palace without me, because I am not going anywhere." Rose said and sat straight.

"You are not leaving me any choice. I am sorry." Shisen said with clenched teeth and pushed Rose back. She fell on the bed and he grabbed her wrists tightly. "Once I have told you one thing, obey it. I am leaving with you and mother. Not without you two." As his anger starting rising, the marks on her body started burning with pain. Tears of pain welled up in her eyes but Shisen didn't let her go. She started shaking her head. Her marks started bleeding and she screamed with pain. Shisen came back to his senses and climbed down the bed. But Rose kept screaming.

At that moment the door burst and Lily and Lalaith entered. Lily ran towards Rose and sat beside her. Shisen stared at her then ran out of the room, pushing his mother out of the way. Lalaith lost her balance and fell down. But she was able to see her son crying. She turned to follow him but Lily stopped her.

"You heal Red and I will go after her. I can't heal her. Please help her." Lily said, tears falling down her face as she went to the door. Her voice was trembling with fear and sadness. She ran away after him. Shisen was walking in the courtyard towards his section when Lily caught up with him.

"Shisen, wait. Listen to me." She called, running after him. She was close to him when her feet hit the stones lying on the ground and she fell down. She was felling when Shisen grabbed her arms and helped her on her feet.

"Lily, I have committed a crime. I can't forgive myself." He said, sadly. But anger was still pumping through his veins.

"No, Shisen. She didn't understand you. She will take time. But don't leave her side at all. This way you will lose her." She said gently. Tears rolled down his face as he stared at her. Then he forced a faint smile on his face.

"I am leaving. I can't force myself to kill you. Goodbye, White Lily Shadow." He freed her from his grip and walked away. Sadly, Lily looked up at the sky and saw a red dragon flying up high.

A long time ago a promise

Was made and sealed

With blood

For no one to know.

I was gone far away

To the land of darkness.

There, I was given love

That I didn't deserve

The red of my eye

Will fade through time

But as long as I breathe,

I won't stop.
