After Yona made up her mind about traveling we travelled to a Village from Suiko the Water tribe. Our Way lead us back the mountains, it was getting Colder outside and the leafs changed Colours. We were wandering for quite some time and as we came to a cliff  we could see far over a Ocean made of red leafs,

„Its so beautiful “

Yona said and I had to agree, the sight was Beautiful, as I looked over the Trees I could see a small house in the middle

„Shin-Ah can you see what this building is?“

„Its . . . A Hot Spring resort“

„What really?“

„Thats sounds so nice“

We decided to go there and check in, everyone of us liked the idea to have a nice long bath in a hot Spring. On the Way everyone talked about how long it has been since they visited a Hot spring as I suddenly got company, Jea-Ha was walking next to me

„If you say something Stupid I swear that I will hit you“

„Oh come on, don't be so grumpy. We will visit a Hot Spring, you should be happy “

„I am if I don't have to listen to the nonsense you talk about “

„your so mean, just think about it, you and me in a hot Spring, alone in the moonshine “

„Okay that's it, Princess can we please drown him I a hot spring and leave him here?“

„No, I still need all of you“

I grimaced and Jea-Ha grinned next to me, after we checked in we brought our bags to our Rooms. We didn't wait long to go to the hot springs, the hot water felt so good that for a moment I thought I was dreaming.

„oh wow, this feels so good“

Yona said and I couldn't help but chuckle

„you never were in a hot springs before right?“

Yona looked at me for a moment and then giggled

„What's wrong?“

„nothing, it's just that you really changed after we left Ik-Soo “

„Really?“

„Yeah, it's not bad. You seems to enjoy yourself more, you seems to get along really well with the others too“

„yeah . . . Maybe“

„I see you talk to Jea-Ha a lot, do you like him?“

„What?“

I was shocked as Yona asked me that, and I didn't know how to answer that

„you look different when you talk to him, and I don't know but it seems like you like him.“

„Its way more complicated then this Princess, I don't like him. I knew the first Dragon Warrior and well, I kind of feel nostalgic with all of them. They are way different then the first once but then again, they are in some things so much alike that I see the first once in them and it's kind of confusing.“

„Oh okay. . .“

„Don't worry to much Princess, relax while you still can.“

„You know Emi-Ri, I like you much better this way“

At this night I was leaning on a pillar in the Garden and looking up at the beautiful stars as I felt a strange presence,

„the most beautiful flower are blooming in the Darkness enveloped in the moonshine“

I didn't need to look where it was but I turned around anyway.

„dont look so grumpy, I come in peace you see“

He holds up a bottle of sake and two cups, I didn't know why but I sight and had to smile.

I nod at him and he set down next to me at a bench, I set down next to him and he filled the cups with Sake and holds one out to me

I nod at him and he set down next to me at a bench, I set down next to him and he filled the cups with Sake and holds one out to me. I took it and took a sip of it, it was really good.

„Are you okay?“

I looked at Jea-Ha and saw his serious eyes, I knew what he meaned and looked at the sky.

„i think so, I don't feel strange since then so I think that everything should be fine“

„thats good to hear, you changed a lot since that day“

„I hear that a lot lately“

„I don't mean it in a bad way, I never saw you smile and laugh so easy but since then it happens often. Your kind of shining.“

I blushed immediately, did he really meant that? I let my head hung low and hold my cup out to him, I could hear him chuckle under his breath as he refilled my cup. I took a sip and looked up at the stars again, I smiled a little.

„someone told me I couldn't live in the past any longer, and that I shouldn't be afraid of my emotions. Well,I thought about it and realized that he wasn't so wrong. And he wasn't the first one that told me that, I was really stubborn but I think I should give it a chance.“

I looked over at Jea-Ha and saw that he looked really surprised, he seemed to know that i was talking about him. I emptied my cup and hold it out to him, now he seemed to come back and a gentle smile crossed his face as he refilled my cup.

„so your starting a new life?“

„you could say something like something like that“

„i like your new start, and I like that you make room for other people in your life“

„yeah, i start to understand that it's not so bad“

Jea-Ha grinned and came a little closer to me, our shoulders touched and he placed one arm around my waist. He placed his cup down and one hand under my Chin, he made me look at him and I couldn't look away.

„maybe you could make room for another person “

His face came closer and closer and if some instincts had taken over without him realizing I pulled out an throwing knifes and placed it at his Chin, Jea-Ha stopped immediately and his eyes widen a little.

„Do you always carry this knifes with you“

I couldn't hide my smile any longer and lowered my knife as he backed away

„Im a lady after all, I need to protect myself at any time“
