This is actually dedicated to Ah Sim… yes you darling…
I think this is a dedication gift to you and you have my blessings for that special day next month ok! Happiness always…

Oh my brave prince, you are here finally…
Yes my fair princess, I am here, and I will get you out of this dungeon.

The prince hurriedly opened the dungeon door with the key he got from one of his most loyal servants. The prince held his princess close to him grasping her hand ever so tightly as if she would just fade away the next minute. They groped in the dark dungeons, which was only lighted by a few torches. As they groped to the entrance of the dungeon, the prince could hear the sound of a guard, walking towards them. He quickly covered the princess’s mouth and asked her not to utter a word. Then he led her to the darkest area of there so they would not be seen. The guard, like many other guards just which are not observant, just walks past them and headed deep inside the dungeon.

The prince did not realize that he had taken so much time venturing and looking for his beloved princess. Now he has got less time go get out of the country’s vicinity before the guard sounds the alarm that the princess has escaped. He hurriedly pulled the princess by her hand and brought her out the entrance and they could smell the air of freedom in the air. The fresh night air blowing in their way refreshed them, especially the princess whom was thrown in to the dungeon several days ago.

We’ve got to get out of this place… they do not understand us.
Yes my prince… though I am saddened to leave but I cannot see this bloodshed because of us and neither could I not see you my prince.
I’m saddened too… to leave this place, my country, my heir, but I cannot live without you my beloved princess.
Then let’s go…

As they thread along the meadow not for from the dungeon, they heard the sound of alarm. It alerted all the guard in the vicinity to search for the escaped princess. They could hear the loud sound of the drums beats signifying the alarm has been set off. Soon after that they heard the thundering sound of the hooves of the palace horses. They knew the guard would soon get to them, so they decided to take the other way towards sea.

As they thread along the woods towards the shore, they could hear voices not far behind them…

Where are they?
Where did they go?
This way…
There are fresh tracks here…
This way, they must have gone this way…

They quickly hasten their steps in hope to reach the shores before they were caught. As they struggle to get to the shore, the princess fell and fractured her left leg. She begged her beloved prince to leave her behind but he just carried her on his back and they reached the shores. As the prince carried his love down the beach, they heard some voices shouting… “there they are, let’s get them, down there by the shores”

The prince was exhausted and dropped down on the sandy shore hurting both his knees while still carrying the princess. They knew they could not run anymore nor could they go any where else. The prince asked his beloved princess…

Are you ready? Ready to leave all this behind?
Yes my love. They should be no barriers to our love, not even our fathers the kings.
Then we shall leave all this behind… we shall live as we like… like lovers in love…
Yes my dear prince, let us leave this all behind dwell in love… our love.

The prince forcefully got up and carried the princess into the ocean. As the waves hit them concurrently a loud cry could be heard…

My prince… where are you going… come back at once
My princess… what are you doing… I demand you to come back at once
Your country will pay dearly for imprisoning my princess
Your country will be obliterated if anything is to happen to my prince

Hearing these conversations coming from two neighbouring kingdoms rulers set them in tears. How could these rulers be so selfish? How could they not think of their kingdom and just declared war… how could someone who rules their kingdom be so selfish?

Oh dear fathers, our king, our ruler… stop and ponder for a moment. We are truly in love and to separate us will kill us, don‘t you see that. Why can’t we have love between our kingdoms and not war. We have decided to be together and there is nothing that anyone can do to stop us. I’m sorry father… but I do not want to live in misery and regret the rest of my life… Please give me your blessings if you ever can forgive me, forgive us.
I’m sorry father… your princess will not be able to take care of you anymore. Please forgive me, please forgive us. And please no more war… no bloodshed should befall our kingdom or others, be it because of me or my beloved prince or anything. I hope peace and love will prevail…
Goodbye…
Goodbye…

The prince held up a bottle of bright colour liquid, shining through the bottle. He gave held it against his princess to drink and then he drank the rest of the liquid. A bright light shone from their direction and everyone was blinded for a while.

When the light disappeared, they were shocked to see a pair of white dolphins jumping in the air a little farther than where the prince and princess was last seen. It was as if they were jumping for joy and saying goodbye to everyone… wishing peace and love. The pair of dolphins were white as snow, but they realized that there were a patch of blood red near the left fin of one of the dolphin. The other white as snow too had 2 patches of red like blood on the lower part near the fins too. They realized that they have changed into the white dolphins.

After a while as both kingdom watches in amazement of what happened, they jumped in the air for one last time, the highest signifying their thanks, gratitude and love for all… before they swam away into the ocean. Now they are free, bound by no laws or family. They are free to love each other and be together. Forever… leaving behind humanity… only to live in their reality of love forever…

If you happen to see white dolphins, white as snow, it might be the prince and his beloved princess. As for the two kingdoms, what do you think happened after this?
Humanity is suppose to be kind and civilized, but it can turn out to be so selfish and barbaric.

I just feel like leaving humanity…
I just feel like being free…

The ending for Yuna The Story…

As Tifa took cared of Yuna over the weeks of her impaired vision, she realized how fragile Yuna was. She could hear her cry more often now when she was secluded in her room at night. Sometimes when Tifa comes home early she would find Yuna weeping away at the couch not knowing of her presence.

Leon, still very much in love with Yuna, searched high and low, asking about her whereabouts. His sanity seems to be hanging by a thin thread by the love he has for Yuna. He has lost all his friends and even his family members could not do anything to help him. He would go to work early in the morning, searching through the internet, sending out emails just to try to locate Yuna. All though he manages to keep his jobs, only because he does his work like a lifeless zombie, working with his body while his soul wander around searching for his dearest. He did almost everything that he could, then he decided to spend the remainder of his savings and posted an ad in all the local newspaper, in search for his love. Leon could not comprehend the present, still dwelling in the past with no vision of a future at all.

Leon’s life now revolves around the clock as he uses all of his time trying to find Yuna, disregarding sleep and fatigue. One day, he received a call from Tifa, and they agreed to meet. They met over lunch and talked for over an hour before they left the scene. Tifa went home that evening and spoke to Yuna…

Yuna, I’ve got some new assignment and will not be around so often, but I have another friend who’s deaf and mute, she’ll be staying here for a while to take care of the house and if you need anything.
It’s ok Tifa, I’ll be alright, just make sure I don’t need to take care of her.

Yuna forced a smile and Tifa knew that she would not object as she won’t want to get in the way of her life.

As the days passed, Yuna kept to her routine of songs that she loves all so much. The friend that Tifa mentioned about did not worry her with her routine as she was mute and deaf. Yuna would still play all the memorable songs that Leon used to listen with her or even sing to her in his cute vocals. Yuna cried more often knowing that Tifa would not be around.

All though Yuna felt more at ease in expressing her feelings, she finds that things was surprisingly, going her way. She finds that all the things she wants to do or she wants to get seems to fall right into place. She did not have to make the effort to grope in the dark for things she wants to get. She found this strange but then she discarded it as one of her delusions. Her condition worsened as she would passed out after a bad migraine, and to her surprise, she would be always be in her bed after such ordeals. In her heart she thanks the girl as she knew only her could have done that.

One day as Yuna was listening to her songs, she screamed in pain. She knew it was different this time. She could feel the intensity of the pain grew tremendously since the last time. She tried to get downstairs to call for help, but she tripped and fell down. Then she heard a voice so familiar… speaking in a trembling fearful way, calling for help on the phone. She was puzzled and frightened. How could there be a man in the house, but then he sounded so familiar.

Then she felt a pair of warm hand held her and carried her up back to her bed, the way she liked it, and as she was laid on the bed, she realized that it was indeed very familiar.

Who are you? What’s your name? Why are you here? How did you get in?
Rest, the doctor will be here soon… you’ll be alright dear, you’ll be alright!

Immediately she knew it was Leon, the girl Tifa meant was Leon, not a deaf and mute girl, but Leon. Tears rolled down her cheek like a waterfall. Leon sat by her and held her hand, wiping away her tears.

Yuna knew now why, everything was so wonderful the past weeks. Leon was the one, he set all the important things for her. He placed all the things right at the place that she would need to use it. Everything was just too perfect as she did everything effortlessly just like a normal person. Leon, took care of her, made sure she got everything that she needs, just like he used to.

Leon brushed her hair to the side and a tear fell from his big black eyes onto her cheek. Yuna could not believe it, as Leon never cried before, not in front of her at least, as long as she had known him.

Oh my darling, but why, why did you do this?
I love you my dear, that’s why
But I could never be together with you… this may be the very last time for all you know…
Don’t say such things, I will be here for you. I will take care of you, I will find a cure for you…
There’s no point, If I’m lucky , I may be around for 6 months…
No don’t say like that, don’t think like that… I will always love you, no matter what happens, I will always take care of you, always, no matter what happens
I don’t want you to see me like this… I don’t want you to waste your time…

Leon hugged Yuna, and she could feel the warmth of his body. She stopped for a moment, she almost forgot the comforting hugs he could offer her whenever she was down. However this was different, although she still feels the comfort, but then somehow she knew that this time, it will not last. She realized that Leon lost a lot of weight and his feature seems to have changed, carved by the situation he was under. Yuna realized that she was cruel when she left him without giving a reason and she could feel the effects as she is hugging him right now.

I’m sorry Leon, I really am…
No dear, you are not, now don’t worry, you will be fine. I will be by your side, no matter what
I love you Leon… Sorry, I can’t take care of you and you had to see me like this

Yuna hugged Leon for one last time, holding him close and tight while giving him a peck on the cheek. Leon did the same but then he felt her grip loosening… and his heart could no longer feel her heart beating through the think fabric hugging their bodies. He held her tightly, not wanting to let go… again.

The doctor arrived and separated them. Yuna left with her last hug n kiss. Leon sat in a corner, disorganized, unable to let her go… Tifa tried to comfort Leon as he has done what he should, be there with her all this time. Tifa shed a tear, knowing that though Yuna did not want Leon to see her that way, she was happy that Leon was by her side all these time. Leon too, though shattered at this moment, is happy he was there for her in her times of need.

Has Tifa done the right thing? She thinks she did… what do you think?

Yuna The Story

Leon got a call on his mobile and he Yuna’s photo popped on the screen of his mobile and he quickly answered it…
Hey dear! I’m just looking at the rings that we ordered the other day, it’ll look astounding cuddling your finger.
Leon, I’ve got something to tell you…
Yes dearest, what’s on your mind?
I want to cancel our wedding!
Why do you want to cancel it, what’s the matter dear?
Listen to me Leon, I just want to cancel our wedding, this is not a joke… I’m leaving now…
Leaving dear, but why, where are you going? What wrong dear!
I’m sorry darling, but I just cannot go on with it. Apologize to everyone for this especially your parents. Goodbye darling!
Wait Yuna, why? What’s wrong, tell me damn it!
It’s all my fault! I’m sorry… goodbye darling…

Yuna pressed the red phone button on her phone as she whispered to herself “I love you Leon, please understand that I must leave you, I’m sorry, I love you”. Then Yuna turned off her mobile and threw away the sim card. Leon still standing holding on to his mobile phone, dazed, unable to comprehend the present. Yuna has never been like this, what’s wrong with her, Leon had no clue whatsoever to what has just happened.

Yuna tries to recollect the memories that surround her. She lost her parents a few years ago just as she managed to graduate and got a steady job to support herself. She was a very smart and strong girl and had a few very good friends. She met Leon about a year ago and they clicked immediately. It was like the perfect chemistry equation and they became lovers instantaneously. They were very much in love and they planned to married very soon.

There’s been so much that has been happening and she could not comprehend what has been happening. She seem to be slipping away, slowly but surely in her heart. She was crushed, her heart like a broken fragile glass piece, broken to a million pieces with just one blow with a small hammer.

Yuna took solitary in the arms of her friend, Tifa, and moved away from her present life. They stayed in a secluded town away from all the hustle and bustle of the big city. As the days passed, Yuna vision blurred, and then finally… after 3 months, she woke up to total darkness. Yuna’s worst nightmare has just begun, just like the prediction of her physician. The tumor in her head has affected her vision before and now it has taken it away totally from her.

Though Yuna looked strong, but deep inside, she is fragile. Tifa knew that, she knew Yuna was suffering and yet she pretends to be strong. Tifa could not understand why she dumped poor Leon who is still wondering what has happened. She saw how frustrating it was for Yuna to adjust to her new self, one that could only feel in darkness, all the things she could see just sometime ago.

Yuna fights the battle of life as she loses her vision, hurts deep down as she rejects his love and shun away her lover. She struggles as she try to do all the simple things she took for granted before.

I guess you would have guessed the reason for Yuna to hurt Leon and shun him out of her life by now. Do tell me the reason that you believe in and was it right or wrong.
As you read this, you would have guessed this is the dedication that I have promised… do you think this should end here? Or should there be a continuation?

Hiroshi ran as fast as he could, using all his skills that he learned from sensei Takhero. He received word of the revenge upon him for capturing Nimasai… the notorious leader of a band of bandits called Yaseru. Yaseru has been plundering the nearby villages, taking all the possession of the villagers, taking hostages and even raping young girls.

As Hiroshi reach his village… he saw houses on fire, dead bodies lying around and he heard loud screaming. He hurried his steps into the village searching for these bandits causing all the havoc. As he turn by his house, towards the piece of land where his family grew some vegetables he saw Megumi. She was lying there naked as the bandits were laughing. Her battered body were smeared by the sand, blood and bruises. Megumi stole a glance at Hiroshi as she plunged the dagger he gave to her deep inside her… taking her life away almost immediately.

“Nooooo……..” screamed Hiroshi… as a tear rolled down from Megumi’s beautiful round eyes to her now lifeless cheek. He ran towards her body and dropped on his knees beside her, anger flows through his body like blood flowing through his veins.

The bandits were laughing while saying… “she was good…. hah hah hah! Now release Nimasai or you will join her in HELL!” They drew out their samurai blades pointing the tip at Hiroshi’s back. Hiroshi, still holding Megumi close to him, soaked in her dark red blood, clenched his fist in anger.

“You will all die at the mercy of my blade…” as Hiroshi got to his feet and slowly turned around. His fiery eyes and the expression etched on his face were of demonic possession. The bandit raised their swords to fend themselves. Hiroshi drew out his katana slowly, revealing a finely crafted blade. Then he said “you will all pay for your sins… aaarrrggghhhh!!”

Hiroshi ran towards the bandits wielding his blade as the bandits recollect their cowardly courage to defend themselves. The battle begun between Hiroshi and the hordes of bandits called Yaseru. The furious battle raged on for hours as Hiroshi slashed his way through the bodies of the bandits… dropping them one by one to the ground. The intensity of the situation grew thicker as the village is being destroyed by the bandits.

Hiroshi tried to save as many as possible, but there were too many of them and most of them were killed right before his eyes. After a grueling battle, Hiroshi dropped the last enemy as the dusk arrived complementing the fiery flames engulfing the village. Hiroshi was drained of all energy after the grueling battle. Hiroshi was covered with blood and wounds. His legs were wounded so badly that he could no longer stand. He fell to the ground on his knees.

Holding his katana, he used it as a walking stick, dragging his wounded body and soul across the village to where his beloved Megumi lied in the still of the time. As he forcefully dragged himself towards Megumi, his fiery eyes calms as tears welled up. As he reached the lifeless body of Megumi, tears rolled down from his eyes.

Hiroshi brushed his blood stained fingers against Megumi’s bruised face and through her hair…
Why did you have to suffer like this…
Why did you have to suffer for my doing…
Why is it so unfair that innocent people has to suffer for the wrong doings of bandit like them!
Why! Why! Why!
Hiroshi knelt properly in front of Megumi and gave a bow of respect to her, covering her with his shirt. Hiroshi held up his katana high in the air reflecting the oranges light from the setting sun.
I love you Megumi
I’m sorry Megumi, my love
I may not have been there always when you and I are alive
I will be with you always, together dead

With these words spoken as an oath, Hiroshi held his beautifully crafted katana towards himself and pushed the edge of the blade into his body. As the blade exits the lower back of his toned body. As he pulls it out again the cut was widened and he threw the blade aside. Leaning against Megumi, Hiroshi smiled and wrapped himself around her. With his dying breath Hiroshi said “we will be together… forever”

The setting sun basked it’s rays on the couple as though rejoicing in the everlasting unity of Hiroshi and Megumi. The flames engulfing the village seems to approve and danced happily throughout the night.

Baby, calm down, listen to me…
No no no… I want you to come now. I don’t care I want you here now of I’m going to commit suicide!
No baby… it’s not worth it, it was just a small argument… I didn’t meant it…
You don’t want me, if not you would not have said agreed to me, if you really did not mean it then come to me. If I don’t see you in 15 minutes, then you won’t see me forever.
Wait for me baby… wait for me, I’ll be there… I’ll come to you… wait for me baby.
Phone slammed…

Qing Han hurriedly grabbed his car keys and rushed out of the house. He started his car and accelerated to the junction. Within seconds, his car was no longer seen but a pile of dusk obstructing the eye’s view. Qing Han continued stepping on the gas pedal towards Mei Qi’s home. He kept looking at the time that was present below his odometer. With each passing minute, Qing Han’s uneasiness grew as he remembered the 15 minutes time frame given to him.

Mei Qi sat down after she slammed the phoned. She has always been the first one to say breaking up… but she never meant it and each time he would persuade her to take them back. This time he was angry himself and he uttered a mere yes out of anger.

She sat down and thought to herself that this would send her message across… that she is not to be taken lightly. She sat there patiently waiting for him to come knocking on the door, asking for forgiveness as he always does, though most of the time she did the wrong thing.

So she sat and wait… waiting for Qing Han. 10 minutes passed and she was getting furious, she thought he must be delaying purposely. Mei Qi thought of what to punish him with for being so slow and not putting their relationship as a priority. Her anger grew and she switched off the lights and went to bed.

Qing Han was driving as fast as he could as he knew she was bad tempered especially if there’s an argument. He stepped on the gas gradually until he floored it. As he kept looking at the passing time below his odometer, he stepped harder… not knowing he was exceeding the speed limit, a lot. He steals a glance at the time and he knew she would be furious by now as it’s already past the 15 minutes. He switches his view back to the road… and to his surprise a lady was riding a motorcycle dead straight ahead of him.

Qing Han could did not know what to do, numbed and terrified, he slammed on the brakes as hard as he can. The brakes locked as he tried to steer away, but the car skids straight not able to turn. He let’s go of the brakes momentarily and the car swayed to the left in the direction he turned his steering wheels and avoid the lady. However he hits the railings on the left and the impact sent his car flipping in the air and crashed upside down.

Mei Qi heard the loud crash and went out to see what was happening. She could not believe her eyes as she realized the familiarity of the overturned car. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her and knelt down by the car… tears flowing down her cheek.

She knelt the car, crying endlessly, looking at his lifeless body. She held his hand, still warm to the touch, covered with blood and apologized. Her tears fell like rain onto his hands, trying to wash away the blood. She stopped for a while as she felt movement… he grasped her tightly as though acknowledging her and forgiving her. Then his hand slipped away… lifelessly. She held his hand again… crying.

Receiving the honour from Kyels, this is my first story tag… and it’s called Lin Dynasty

Excerpt from Kyels, Chapter 31

“I have the exotic supplies… smiles”
“But you have to do something for me…”
“Not again…”
“What do you want from me”

Lin Dynasty, Chapter 32
by zeroimpact

“I want you… to find Phrestomansi and… and bring him back to me…”
“What!!”
“You heard me, go and don’t come back without him”
“or you get nothing…” Chrestomansi turned and walked the other way.
“But…” before she could say another word, Chrestomansi disappeared

Not another one! And who is this Phrestomansi?! Where do I find him. She just could not believe her luck. Time is running out and she has got to get the supplies soon or else…

“Where to find Phrestomansi? Where? Where? I have to act fast, time is running out” she mumbles to herself. Who could this Phrestomansi be… the mystery lurks as carrot has no clue what so ever.

Carrot exited and made her way through the dark walkway lighted up only by some filthy old lamp posts. She wanders off into a dark alley unnoticingly and stumbles upon something and fell to the ground.

“Ouch!”

She suddenly felt something moving around her arm. She can feel something scaly resembling a hand touching her which sent a chilling sensation down her spine. She got up hastily trying to hold herself together, but the poor vision in the dark alley left her blinded and her she can only rely on her sense of smell and touch.

“Who’s there… ” she said shakily. There was no reply and the silence created an enormous fear which has already building up in her.

“Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhhhh”
“Let go of me… let go of me… HELP… help me, please let go of me”

She fell on her back as she felt a scaly hand grabs and pull on her left leg causing imbalance to fearful body. Carrot struggles hard kicking with all her might trying to break free. She continued kicking and using her hands trying to crawl towards the other direction but it does not seem to prevail.

As she wave her hand on the ground trying to break free, she managed to grab hold of a crowbar and swung it swiftly against the strong scaly figure holding her leg. She heard a cry of pain and the grip seems to have loosened. Knowing that her efforts will save her, she continuously swung the rod against the figure hitting her own flesh a couple of times as well.

“Yearrrggghhhh…” the grip loosened enough and she released herself from the grip and got up instantly on her feet. Carrot turned around and ran as fast as she could without looking back. She noticed a faint light ahead and ran towards it. as the light becomes more prominent she realized she’s back on the streets, just past the store. She looked back but she could not make out where did the dark alley came from…

“Was that real… was that a dream… could it be a dream…” she was puzzled beyond comprehension.

Then she suddenly recalled, the old woman, may be she knows something. She rushed out hurriedly and ran as fast as her feet could carry her, but alas, when she reached there seem to be no sign of the old woman around. She dropped down on her knees in despair, clenching her fist while it hits the ground.

As she try to recollect herself in the midst of despair, she heard a voice “Are you looking for Phrestomansi?”

She opened her eyes and saw a very young boy which look barely in his teens and said “yes, do you know where he is?”

The boy smiled and helped her on her feet. “I am Phrestomansi and I believe someone sent you to find me?”

“Yes, yes!” she answered with a tear rolling down her cheek. “I’m so glad I found you. Will you come with me. I need to bring you back to Chrestomansi so I can get what I want from him. Please!”

The boy nods his head and carrot smiled back at him. She was so happy that she can finally get what she wanted. She held his hand and tried to lead him towards where Chrestomansi is waiting but he does not seem to budge.

“But you have to help me first!” says Phrestomansi.

Her joy disappeared as she asked him…

“What do you want from me…”

From here I am honoured to pass the torch to Winn to continue the saga. But here’s the catch dear, you have 3 days to do it or you go into the forfeit list.
