Ice Heart

Shocking Reunion

As everyone was busy I took a towel with me and went to a nearly river to wash myself, I striped down and placed the towel around myself. The water felt good and for a while I closed my eyes and relaxed, but suddenly my eyes shot open and I looked back at the camp. 'This Aura . . . It can't be . . . But it feels different then the other Dragons, as I felt the Aura of Ki-Ja or Shin-ha it was nearly the same as Guen's or Abi's but this is different. This Aura feels exactly like him, could it be that . . . His power was always strange and I couldn't figure out what his power really was. But The Power of the Yellow Dragon is a Body that can't be injured, so maybe . . .' I jumped out of the water and took my clothes on. I run as fast a I could back to the others, and as I came back I stopped in my track as I looked at a person sitting at the fire and eating with the others.

„No this can't be“

At this moment His eyes meet mine and I saw the shock in this eyes, but then he started to laugh as if nothing had happened.

„Hey Emi-Ri come here and eat something before Zeno eats everything alone“

Yoon called out to me but I couldn't move

„So we really are complete again“

At Zeno's words I could feel my eyes burn, I turned around and hide myself behind a tree. I clapped one hand over my mouth and the tears started to fall, I couldn't stay there and let the others see me so I walked back to the lake. 'So it was really him, he was still alive.' as night fall I was still sitting on a stone at the lake and looking at the stars as suddenly Zeno's face appeared in front of me, I was surprised, lost my balance and fall on to the ground. As I looked up I saw Zeno laughing, he looked at me and walked over to me Stretching out his hand for me to take.

„need a helping hand?“

I took his hand and as I stood in front of him I was sure that it was really him

„So it's really you, your really still alive?“

„Yes I'm still here“

He grinned brightly and I could see his eyes watering, without thinking I grabbed him by the shoulder and hugged him tightly. He tensed up for a second but then he placed his arms around he

„Im so glad to see you again“

„Im also glad to see you again, I thought that I had lost everyone “

Zeno and I set down next to each other and looked at the water

„after you left, I could feel the presence of the Dragons fainting away. Did you ever see anyone of them again?“

„No I . . . I was to late for that“

„What did you do all those years?“

„I travled around, thought I would see the world Hiryuu wanted to create by myself. And what about you, what did you do after I left?“

„I staid at the Castle. . . I watched over our home, and I saw the descendent of Hiryuu being born. Yona. I was by her side the whole time“

„Oh wow, that must have been nice“

„It was painful to begin with, her Aura felt so much like him but she was a spoiled little brat. And to live at the Castle this whole time without you guys, my heart felt like it was shattered to pieces and everyone of you took a part of it with you. But the biggest part was lost by. . .“

„Hiryuu. . . I know.“

It was silent for a while but then Zeno jumped to his feet and smiled

„But now that we are all together again we can play again together “

„Were not here to play Zeno, were in mission “

„Ohhh you were always such a grumpy Cat, you haven't changed. You were only smiling when you were with Hiryuu, I'm so jealous. Come on Emi-Ri, I want to hear you laugh again ist so long ago.“

Suddenly Zeno started to poke my cheek and then my arm until he poked my side and I couldn't help but Squeek, Zeno started to laugh again and looked at me hugging myself to protect me.

This trick always worked on you, I remember that Hiryuu always did this to you to make you laugh when you were sad. And it was really funny to see your reaction, I loved to tease you with this.

„dont start with this Zeno, I remember really well that you always sneaked up on me and did this.“

„and it's still as funny as it was then“

„your still such a child, you never changed“

I started to work back to the Camp but then I remembered something and stopped

„Hey Zeno?“

„hm?“

„will you stay with us?“

„for so many years I just waited for Hiryuu to be born and for the four Dragons to come back together . . . Yes I will stay with you“

„Im glad“

I made my way back and set down at the fire place, on the stones around the fireplace was still laying some meat. I smiled and picked it up to eat, I smiled to myself as I thought about the others and Zeno.

„This really could get interesting, I wonder what Yona will do next“

I stayed awake for a little while longer before i closed my eyes to sleep.
