who are you?

Next day.

Everything was peaceful but suddenly a shout came. Mina who was running for her life was calling cloudy to help her but he refused to help her because of yesterday's revenge. Mina shouted" help me". then she looked back the lizard was still following her. Cloudy was just flying with her. she said" why? you want revenge right" . They were flying high in the sky but the tongue of lizard was stopping her from every side so she could not fly even high. just this morning everything was peaceful. Mina was flying and enjoying but because of her beautiful wings. she attracted the lizards and frogs near the lake.

who told you fly like a stupid when it's already dangerous" cloudy said while flying with her." you should fly less and crawl from now on. pfft" cloudy laughed at her

why ?" mina replied

so you don't attract them" said cloudy

what should I do with these beautiful wings. I can't help but attract them" mina said in self praising

should I cut them? so you don't make trouble with them" cloudy said with evil smile

mina covered her wings and glared with warning.

As they were flying non stop, they forgot to look back.

The lizard was already left behind. After flying for two hours, mina was so tired to fly an inch farther. she was already crawling on the ground." ah... I can't move"mina said as she was too tired from two hours flying. Cloudy was looking around and then looked at mina and told her that they have reached to the knights campsites. Mina flew to see what was happening in the campsites.

why camp tho not village?" Mina asked while looking at the sorroundings of baracks. cloudy flew towards the camping area. Mina followed back.

wait for me" mina said

There were so many knights who were busy with their respective works. There camps for weapons , emergency food , and on the other side some knight's were feeding horses and training . Suddenly the smell of delicious food was coming from a campsite. Mina followed the smell and found the food on the table. The food looked luxury and the siding area was luxury at look.

wow" Mina was so amazed to see everything before her eyes. Mina thought of her room at that time, compared to it that looked poor shabby. As mina came following the sweet smell , she went straight to the table .

yum" she said while drooling but she knew that she can't eat so she just admired it. Suddenly mina felt someone's gaze on her. When she turned to look back, a man with shiny dark black hairs, yellow eyesnlike sun, skin as fair as snow was looking at her. Mina felt so ashamed and was very thankful that she was not human because campaired to him , she would have looked as a ugly squid. The man who was looking at her was removing his armor that was stained with monsters blood. Mina couldn't take her eyes off from him and watched him removing his armors. His chest was wide and he had six packs but was with full of scars. Mina watched his scares. The man threw the armor and clothes on the ground and came to dinning table.

Suddenly a man's voice came from out of camp " My lord, I have brought your clothes". "put them"he answered. Then a man with long hair with glasses came . he was holding clothes. He quickly putted clothes on bed and took the dirty clothes which were stained with purple blood. Mina watched the men who was eating staring at her. The man was sitting bare chest. Mina was blushing as that man's eyes were only meeting at her but the reality was different, his gazes were fierce and mina felt chills. she wanted to run but she was already tempted by that man's beautiful body and felt unlucky to leave. She was having ugly thoughts at that time. The man who was watching an strange insect in his room took his knife and pointed at her. When that man pointed his knife towards her. Mina only noticed his beautiful hand with a scare so unconsciously her butterfly sense woke as they are always attracted towards most beautiful things and landed on his hand while kissing the scare not knowing what was happening to her. "ah..what am I doing ? this man was already giving me shivers" she said while looking at man. Then suddenly a light came from where she was touching the scar. she fell but the man caught her and looked at his scar,it was already gone. He walked out of the dining table and went to his bed. He took the pillow out and putted her on it. He looked at her for sometime and then he called for his butler and asked him to call doctor. the butler was confused at first but then he went out and mumbled" he refused to call for doctor before but why so sudden"....." The butler went to camping side where the doctor was treating the other injured knights. When butler asked the doctor to come with him to Duke's campsite. A sudden silence welcomed the atmosphere. everyone who heard that duke called for doctor were surprised. That was common reaction for them. The doctor quickly stood up and followed the butler. The knight's who were confused that duke summoned for a doctor were wishpering "what happened to the duke?". " he called for doctor". "he is a monster how can he be hurt?". when the knight's were running their mouth so much , A man shouted "don't you have manners? if you have so much energy go and run forgot ten laps. The knight's stopped mumbling and went for laps. The man who gave them order was the captain of winter knights, His name was david, he had a serious personality and loyal to the duke."chill man~ they were just confused" a man who was sitting with him said to him with cool face. " you know lord never asked for doctor so it's normal for them to react"a man who was sitting with David said. This man was the captain of red knights . His name was zan and he had a cool personality and a childhood friend of duke. David sat back" they are knights not some weak noble men to gossip like that" he said with straight face. " geeze.. can't you take that look off from your face"zan replied back to him with annoyed "but seriously what happened"

...

at duke's campsite*

" the doctor is here my Lord" the butler said in low manner full voice. The duke called them in. Duke was sitting on the chair. The doctor came near to him and asked to check but he told him to stop. Then the duke took his shirt off and asked " do you see?". the butler who turned his face out of embersment and the doctor who had no choice but to reply said " nothing my Lord"

then he told him by point at his chest where there were so many scars "there's no scar now". The butler and doctor were the one of those who knew about duke's past. They forgot the scars on his body. There was no way to cure wounds who left heavy scar on his chest. The Duke asked if it was possible for some mythical creature to heal the old wounds. Butler and doctor were of course doubting because there wasn't any existing like that. Then duke told them to leave.

The doctor and the butler went out. " I can't believe this" doctor said "but he had no scar on his body" butler replied. "then I will need to study about this more but as duke asked, was he cured by some mythical creature?" doctor asked looking at back. Then they went back to their respective work .

...

"how did you cure me?" duke who was sitting on the bed asked while carefully touching her wings." who are you?' he mumbled and then stood up and wore his clothes and went out. " don't let anyone in"duke commanded with warning gaze to guard knights. "yes my lord " guard knights replied quickly. Then the duke leftt.

..

ah~where am I ?" mina woke in a strange place where there was nothing but mirrors and the mirror were broken only a few remain unbroken. she went to the mirror that was closer to her and touched it. A butterfly appeared in it. When she touched the butterfly she recalled that she was that butterfly and then she remembered the light before she fell unconscious. "so what happened to my butterfly body?" she asked to her self. " it's sleeping" a voice came. she recalled that voice ." is that you cloudy?" she asked in thin air. "yes it's me" cloudy replied. Mina looked everywhere but couldn't point him. " I can't see you"she said while looking behind the mirrors. " cause I can't enter your mind. only I can see , not you ". she sat in front of mirror and looked herself in the mirror while touching it. The mirror reflected her butterfly body while she herself looked a human soul. " if only this mirror could show my human face"she mumbled to herself. "don't be disappointed. you look beautiful " cloudy encouraged her. Then some time passed and nothing happened. She became worried and cloudy's voice was gone long before she could found out. She became scared and thought what if she never escape this dream and was caught up here forever. She stood up and looked for a way but as she already knew that there was nothing more than some shattered mirrors and some in one piece. She was so pissed and angrily broke the mirror that showed her butterfly body. When the mirror broke and it's pieces fell on the white surface, the dream in which she trapped, woke up. When she opened her eyes she was sleeping on a soft pillow. "ah~ it has a pleasant smell " she mumbled while smelling pillow and thought it was also coming from other side. when looked that way, a tall handsome man wearing a robe revealing his chest and leaning his cheeks on his hand was looking at her with a beautiful smile on his fierce face. " ahh~ holy shit " she blushed so hard as Mina in her thirty years of her life had never felt her heart beat so much for a man because of that she was able to live single and set her eyes only for her career. "am I directly in heaven no angel don't smile with fierce face but still he is hot" she admitted and it's without a doubt. There'sno one in the whole who resist the beauty of duke mikael even the monster. If the there was a beauty competition that was held in the empire then even the emperor had to surrender. If the most beautiful lady of empire could be hardly compared as one per tenth beautiful of duke's hand, so in simple words they couldn't compare themselves but doubt their specie. Mina was admiring his body and thanked to whoever sent her in this world. duke who watched the tiny creature moving her body couldn't identify what was going in that little head of her. He reached his hand to her. mina who was peeping at his body noticed his hand moving towards her. she flinched when his hand touched her little wings. "is he gonna cut my wings ?as humans are not his rival in beauty so is he targeting my beautiful wings?" she talked to herself then she looked for a way to sneak out before he could do anything to her.

duke leaned his body closer to her. " are you trying to run?" he graped her wings and faced it closer to his face. Mina was confused whether he was going to eat her directly because she was in an other world and something like this seemed possible to her. She struggled with crying face to loose his grip but couldn't as he was so strong compared to her Little efforts. "pfft" duke laughed as he was amused to see her little struggles. The duke took his right hand and casted some spells. as he was casting the spell, a light sorrounding his hand appeared that soon followed to mina. Something like chains bounded her wings. She didn't notice it as it was her first time seeing someone using magical spell that only existed in fantasy stories and once again she realized that she was no longer in her normal world . " sorry but your so tiny I don't know where will I search for you if you run away" duke smirked at her. Mina realized that he casted a spell on her. He putted her back on pillow " now go back to sleep". mina couldn't run because he was watching her with fierce smile. " now how am I supposed to sleep with that smile" she mumbled while shivering." cloudy where the hell are you? if I found you, I won't let you go" she said while her eyes shut. when duke confirmed that mina fell asleep he went out for some time but when he come back mina was already gone.
