I simply don't care

27. What happened?

A/N Let's see what to talk about... Except for the RWBY ice cream appearance and my gratitude for everyone's support I got nothing.

Oh, wait! How do you guys feel of swearing/cussing, do you mind it? Because I might have some scenes in the future that will have them.

Also for those of you wondering why the early update... Well, I have to go to the hospital over the weekend... So I thought it was best if I upload now than miss my deadline for the chapter!

Anyway, time to see the aftermath of the Dragon attack. Also, I've started to put a tracker of what stories I'm doing, planning and soon finished I shall be changing it as I go along!
May the lotus guide you!

*Zorlo's PoV*

Once I was sure that the Dragon was dead, I sprinted straight to the arena to see if Sah and Koue were alright.

When I got there I was surprised... In front of me laid an extremely bloody and destroyed Dragon corpse with its head chopped clean off as well as its wings which laid halfway across the arena from it... Well, what was left of the arena.

But I didn't see Koue or Sah...
I looked around the Arena and saw that the VIP booth was destroyed, so I decided to check it out.

To my surprise, I saw Sah holding Koue's body close and crying, I immediately assumed the worse and thought that Koue had died, hence why the brutally murdered dragon outside.
I slowly walked over to Sah while looking around. I saw Koue's sword lying not that far from him in a wind bubble.

Once I got close enough I put my hand on Sah's shoulder. I could hear faint whispers from her.

"I'm sorry... If it wasn't for me you wouldn't be like this..."

I gave a sigh of relief... If Koue had died... We, there would be no telling what would happen to Sah... I dread to think of that.

"Sah... What happened?" I quitely questioned her.

"It was my fault... Koue went to fight the Dragon, I didn't... stop him, he used Oshlamaru and he made a dent in the scales... just a dent. The Dragon noticed it and started to evade his attacks until the Dragon was able to use its tail to send Koue into the VIP booth... It didn't stop there... I sent lightning bolts into the booth, intent on killing Koue. When it stopped, I quickly flew to the booth to check on Koue...a-and his h-hand was gone..." She said while holding back her tears. "It's my fault... I should've stopped him when he was getting tired... or gave him some protection with the winds... but I didn't."

I sighed, I sat down next to her and pulled her into my chest, "Let it all out Sah... Let it all out, it's not good for you to keep it in..."

It seemed that my words had opened a dam of suppressed emotions, after a few seconds I could feel my shirt getting wet from her tears as she bailed her eyes out.
"There there..." I patted her back.

I sat there for a good 5 minutes, holding her close until she fell asleep. I don't blame her... she must've been emotionally drained after all of that.

I gently placed her down on the ground, then went to take a look at Koue.
To say the least... he will live, all of him... Except for his hand obviously.
I know the first question that she will ask me is if we can regrow it or replace it... Sadly no...
I noticed that I think the lightning had sealed the wound, due to it no bleeding thankfully, but now my problem was the mental effect after... I knew some people without certain limbs and for some reason, at seemingly random times they would, and I quote them, 'Feel like it's there, but it's not' and having large amounts of pain...

We just called it ghost pain... We have no idea why it happens it just does... Maybe Sah knows about it, maybe she can treat it!

After a few minutes of my looking at Koue, I could see him stirring from his slumber. I sat by close ready to help him when needed.

Koue slowly opened his eyes, "Hey Zorlo... Did we kill it?" he asked me sleepily.
I sighed, I need to stop sighing...
"Yeah... You did well kid." I said with a glum smile. Koue seemed to notice that sad smile.
"Wait... What happened to Sah!?!" he demanded.
I put my hand on his shoulder, "Calm down she's fine... You, on the other hand, are not..."

His face was in relief, but the quickly turned to shock. "H-Hey! Zorlo! Why can't I feel my left hand!?!!!" He shouted.

I looked down sadly.

Koue lifted his left arm and saw no hand, just his arm.
I knew what would happen next so I quickly spoke, "Koue! Koue! Keep calm! If you don't keep calm things will get worse... For both of us!" I told him strictly.

His face seemed conflicted for a few seconds before he had a chance to think it over.
He took a deep breathe and let it out slowly.
He slowly looked towards me, "We can't get it back can we?" he asked.

I shook my head slowly.

We sat there for a few minutes before I asked Koue, "Can you walk?"

He went to stand up, albeit a bit shaky, but he stood up.
I picked up Sah and held her in my arms.

I won't risk teleporting, we just have to walk.

*Sahnahlot's PoV*

"Ugggh..."
I slowly woke up... Only to find myself in my room...
I looked out my window and saw it was dark.

Wait wasn't I in the arena?!
I quickly got up and ran straight to Zorlo's office.
In his office, I found Zorlo behind his desk, Koue in a chair and... Ruvaak standing against the wall.

The tension was high... So I slowly walked over to the remaining chair and sat down.

I was about to speak but Zorlo beat me to it.

"Now that Sahnahlot is awake we can start."

Full name... This is serious...

"I shall start by saying this, I give you my thanks and condolences to you two... Strunqosu was a rogue dragon that we couldn't find... We didn't put much effort into finding him... This is entirely our fault." Ruvaak started with regret in his voice.

Koue looked towards Ruvaak and simply nodded.
"Thanks... But that won't regrow my hand, will it? Not even that Demon can regrow it!" Koue shouted.
I placed my hand on his only one and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Koue calm down... It was my fault for not helping you when you needed it..." I told him, reprimanding myself for my mistake...
Koue looked at me, with a sad smile on his face, "It was my fault for not asking for help and not backing away when I was getting tired..."

"Dear God... Can you guys stop moping about the past?" came a smooth recognizable voice.

Zorlo and Ruvaak very audibly groaned.

I turned around and saw two things...

A cane with a skull ornament...
And what looked to be...

A gun.

A/N Hehe... Now, who do you think these are?
Also, you know how I said two chapters ago that I would release two Omake's if I hit 1000 followers... Well, I hit 2000 followers on Tuesday? I think it was.
Just how?!?
My brain just crashed and I was confused.
Anyway,
May the Lotus Guide you!
