13. Awaken

Being one of the top tier wizards had its perks. Not having a fixed class schedule anymore, [name] was seen walking through the forest and heading over to where Hydra was residing at. A rather large lake, that along it was decorated with pretty stones, fit for her.

[name] then sat down on one of the huge rocks, and smiled. Bubble was seen forming in the middle of the lake and soon Hydra surfaced from the water with a magnificent roar. [name] then smiled as she used her wand to cast a shield upon herself, to keep herself dry as the water sprayed upon her.

Hydra then made some whimpering noises and soon she lowered her heads and looked at [name]. [name] smiled in response as she held her hands out, which Hydra then placed one of her heads against it. [name] then started to caress her head gently as she was deep in thoughts.

Staring into Hydra's eyes that held nothing but kindness to her.

"Do you miss him?" [name] asked and Hydra nodded her heads in response. [name] then smiled slightly at the thought of wondering if she could ever see him again. She sighed and Hydra looked at her with worried eyes.

"I'm okay..." she whispered, a tad bit of sadness lingering in her voice.

"How long are you going to hide in the shadows and watch from far?" Kuwajima Jigoro, the Thunder Wizard as well as another teacher for Defense and Attack lessons spoke out as he stood beside him as they watched [name] spending some time with Hydra.

"You sure are naggy as always, Kuwajima-san," he chuckled out and earned a kick in his back by the Thunder Wizard. He smiled in response as he watched [name] enjoying her time with Hydra.

"No, seriously, how long do you intend to hide from her?" he asked, and he chuckled in response once more.

"I don't know when my observation ends, I can't come in contact with her but only watch her from far," he answered and Jigoro sighed in response.

"Have you spoken to Yoriichi about this?" and he shook his head.

"I've troubled him enough already to persuade them to let me live and watch her grow up,"

"How long do you intend to be out in the sun, [name]?" and [name] turned and noticed Tengen had came to find her. She smiled a little in response and  Tengen could hear the sadness coming from within her. He then sighed and took a seat beside her, on the huge rock and then wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

[name] tensed up and shivered slightly, wanting to get out of his hold only for him to tighten instead. She then turned to look at him and her eyes widened in response at the gentle smile he was showing her.

"Doll, relax. This isn't much, but having someone to give you the warmth you need is plenty for someone like you," he answered as he lightly caressed [name]'s side of the shoulder and she soon relaxed into his hold.

"THAT BASTARD!" he yelled quietly in response and Jigoro had to hold him back before he broke the rules. He watched as [name]'s head was being pushed, as she was then forced to lean onto Tengen's shoulders. His blood was boiling at what was going on and he wanted to murder Tengen so badly.

"I feel so sleepy..." [name] whispered out and Tengen smiled in response as he had secretly cast a spell upon her to put her to sleep. Hydra narrowed her eyes at him, and he put his hands up in defense.

"Hey,  don't go all angry on me. That's not flamboyant of you. Look at her eyes, it's clearly shown she hasn't had much rest," Tengen pointed out and one of Hydra's head went closer to take a look. Hydra then turned and headed back to the lake, throwing a slight tantrum.
