"Think I'll go see what Kai's doing...." Michael left his mind and entered Kai's. He called out. "Kai? Are you here?"
"I wonder why Zephyr had to go so suddenly.....I kind of miss her, even though she acted like an obnoxious little brat. Not what I expected from a wind god, but then again, she was only six when she was chosen....Kind of feel sorry for her."
"I wonder how long this war will last....." Michael sighed. "I never wanted to be king.....I just wanted to live a peaceful life. I have to put aside my desires for now, though, and do what's best for my people."
Michael quit watching his memories and went back to the library. He started reading up on war strategies for the battles ahead. "Wish this stupid war never began, but the only thing I can do about it now is fight, and win."
Michael went back to sleep. As he wandered the confines of his mind, he decided to pour through some of his memories. He watched the time when He and Kai first met. "Who would have thought then that we would end up falling in love, even getting married? Back then, I was just looking for travelling companions...." He said to himself. He then viewed the time when he first kissed Kai. "I still don't know why I did it.....Just seemed like the right thing to do. To this day, I don't regret it."
Michael sat up in the bed and looked outside the tent. "Still nighttime, huh? You'd better go to sleep too, Kai. We've got a long day ahead."
"No, everything's fine. I guess I was a little cold."
Michael's voice rang out. "I'm in the library, where else would I be?"
Michael just lay there in a dreamless sleep, shivering a little bit.
Michael covered up and went to sleep.
"Like I got hit with a ton of bricks. I'll be fine, though."
Michael slowly sat up. "I'm sure you can, I have faith in you, my love."
After what felt like hours, Michael finally managed to get the wind under control. He was relieved when he felt a calm wind blow through his hair. "Didn't.....think I was going to be....able to...do it there for a second." The Jade dragon dissapeared and Michael passed out.
OOC: Kretsen did something to make the dragoon's powers go out of whack. BIC: Michael struggled to stand up. He felt like the wind was trying to pin him to the ground. "Got to.....focus....." He said as he summoned the Jade Dragon. They worked together to try and balance the wind.
Michael fell to the ground, on the verge of passing out. "What's happening?!" He tried to ask his dragon. There was no response.
"Yes, I think we could all use some rest. We head out at first light."
"So, now what do we do? Should we persue the enemy, or rest for the night?"
"I know. I found you at the spring and carried you back to your room."
"I wouldn't be too concerned about it." He said to angel. Michael looked Kai directly in the eyes. "I thought she had killed you, and I nearly went on a genocidal rampage. Turned out, she constructed a dummy to look like you, but by the time she told me, it was too late." Michael sighed.
"They tried to pull off a surprise attack on us, but failed." Michael turned to Kai. "I'm glad you feel that way about me."
