Chapter Ten: I love you

Sage was running as fast as her short legs could carry her, occasionally looking up at the Damocles. What am I doing? What even is my plan? She thought to herself, "I don't even know what is going to happen!" She yelled as she continued running.

Sage was stopped as fire began to engulf part of the forest, blocking herself from getting burned she continued moving. That was her kings fire, she only hopped it wasn't too late. She finally stopped when she reached the crater that was created by the fire and time slowed as Sage watched Mikoto standing tall, his arms out like he had already accepted his fate as his Damocles started to fall and Munakata was running at him with his sword ready.

Without think Sage began to run towards her king, "MIKOTO," she yelled using one hand to shoving him out of the way and the other reaching upward stopping the Damocles with her index finger, just as her finger touch the Damocles Munakata's sword sliced open Sages left shoulder causing her to wince in pain. If she had been Mikoto that would have gone straight through his heart. A powerful gust of wind surrounded Sage, slamming Munakata's back into a tree. Sage gathered all her healing strength and pushed it into the Damocles.

Back on the beach HOMRA and Scepter 4 watched, their mouth wide open in shock, as the red king's sword of Damocles repaired itself.

"Sage is hurt," Anna whispered before running towards the bridge. Izumo, Yata, and Bando following behind leaving the rest of HOMRA at the beach, still in shock from what they saw.

Yata and Bando ran to the front getting their flame ready to fight their way through, but to their surprise Scepter 4 stepped to the side and let the HOMRA members run through. They don't know how it was possible, but they saw it with their own eyes, and they weren't going to get in HOMRA's way.

They were mentally preparing themselves for what they were about to see, they could only picture the worst. However, they were not expecting what they saw when they made it to the small crater – everyone alive and breathing.

Mikoto and Munakata laying on opposite sides of the field, with Sage laying in a pool of her blood in the middle.

"SAGE!" Yata and Anna called running to her.

"Bando get Munakata," Izumo said before running towards his king.

Once Yata and Anna made it to Sage, Yata took off his red sweater and wrapped it around the wound on her shoulder. He tightened it before picking her up bridal style making sure her arms were crossed around her chest and not dangling to the side.

"Let's go," Izumo said as he began to walk with Mikoto on his back. They all followed and were quiet for awhile before Munakata started to wake.

"Will she be okay?" He mumbled.

"She should be, she'll need stitches." Anna whispered behind Yata.

"Good," is all he could say with a small smile.

After a long pause Izumo finally asked the question on everyone's mind.

"What happened?" Izumo asked.

"I'm not entirely sure, she stopped the Sword of Damocles and I was knocked out after that," Munakata replied.

"She healed it," Mikoto grumbled causing Yata, Izumo, Bando, and Anna to look up.

"Mr. Mikoto, are you okay?" Yata asked

"Yes," is all he said as he got off Izumo's back and instead looped his arm over Izumo's shoulders for support. Bando and Munakata following the same action.

As they made it to the bridge Seri ran up to Munakata and Bando, "Are you okay Reisi?" She asked.

"Yes, Thank you Seri. However, we need to get her some medical attention," he said pointing his head towards the unconscious girl Yata was carrying.
