Partners or Lovers
Jazpar! Jazpar, Jazpar! How many times do I need to tell you that I hate people being late and not respecting my damn time! Anyway, is Yuna ready for me. Does she know that she is to become my bride when her 18th birthday comes????, Dark Lord said seated on his throne while talking to Jazpar in the stream near Foresty, at the back of the warriors bar.
Ah..I will tell her as soon as they travel to Yomi Island. She is partnered with Keyoshi and I….
You fool! How long will I have to put up with? You have lied to me many times and now you need to pay me what you owe. Your wife didn't make it and you asked me to keep your daughter alive. Now you must pay! Or I'll snatch her away from you forever!, Kemolohlun shouted and Jazpar covered his ears from the resounding and deafening sound. Yes, my Lord, as you ordered! Please have mercy on me and my daughter. She will be yours and it will happen when they arrive at Yomi! It'll be soon.
Yuna will be yours, Jazpar added and bowed falling to the ground to pay his respects to the evil Lord in a cry.
Oh, Yuna, forgive me, my darling. Keyoshi, protect my daughter from the Dark Lord, protect her…ohh, what else can I do?, Jazpar thought while walking towards the bar and meeting Chana, and the rest of the warrior hunters unwinding at the place after a hard days training at the forest. Chana saw Jazpar and knew right away that he is in trouble. She then moved to tell Keyoshi who is drinking beer and having fun with Sarasti's magic tricks. Tilly, Keno, Acamara, Gull, Nidar, Lolo and Taiyo are among the audience, But Yuna walked in late and feeling down. Keyoshi was about to walk to Yuna when Chana stopped holding her arm to talk to her.
What is it Chana? It's not about us or anything right? Because I told you we are not…., Keyoshi said but stopped by Chana. No, you idiot!, Jazpar just came in and something seems off. He is so pale and sweaty. He is in trouble or maybe someone close to him is! I can feel the chills and it is about the Dark Lord. You know how I got so weird after being healed by the Gatherers of the mountains. I'm proof that they may have opened my third eye so I see what's happening. Protect Yuna, I think she is in great danger!, Chana whispered and looked straight into Jazpar's eyes who immediately avoided her gaze. Jazpar ordered for a barrel of beer and it's not usual that he drinks, for he doesn't drink at all!, both Keyoshi and Chana both said together.
Chana and Keyoshi had an idea and moved closer to Jazpar. Hey, Jazpar, is there anything you want to talk about? How have you been doing lately?, Chana asked and sat next to the man and helped him with his tall glass to give him beer from the barrel. Thanks, ahhh, haaaa…Nothing, it's nothing!
Aha, if it's nothing then there's really something! Okay Keyoshi, why not take Yuna at your tent and accompany her. I think Sir Jazpar and I needs to drink and talk for a while!, bye!, Chana said and pointed her head to me to check on Yuna. I nodded in agreement and walked to Yuna to take her to our tent.
Yuna, are you okay now?
Yes I am and I talked with Emu, she and her team is back in the games! I'm so excited to be with her in the hunt, she added and smiled at me.
That's good then! Ah, I'll walk with you to the tent. It's been one hell of a day, Training gets so tough as the games are getting near. I can't wait to win it with you!
Haaaa… Yeah but I feel off lately. It's like I don't feel like I will be coming home after the games, it gives me cold chills every time I think about it!, Yuna said hugging herself. No, stop that, Yuna, you are with me and we will defeat Kemolohlun or whoever our opponents are in the games. Yomi is just a piece of cake….and
Keyoshi, are you sure about that? But Yomi is a different isle. It is never been survived by the hunters before us. Only one survived and that is Taiyo, who is a great sorcerer and we are, just hunters, warriors who fight without magic but mere weapons made out of metal, minerals and the heart!, Yuna said realizing that they are just humans who can die and not survive the battle among the dark spirits and evil demons of the underworld. That's why we were given these stones on our foreheads to have power or abilities beyond our humanity and frailties. You have great power Yuna you just don't know it yet. Taiyo said that it'll appear when we need to fight the dark spirits and we will know soon, right!, Keyoshi added and hugged Yuna. We will be okay, don't you worry habibi!
I hope you are right Shi! I trust you and I will survive the games, the Hunt and Yomi together!, Yuna replied hugging Keyoshi back but still unsure about the outcome of their battle in Yomi island soon.
A/N. Trainings have been gruesome and tasking. The warrior hunters need to train under the hot sun day and night or need to meditate without eating for days. Or stay in the rain, after the sweat of battles with other hunters or hunting animals for food, since they will indeed do these things repetetively in Yomi for the whole month. Until they are able to kill demons and free lost spirits, they won't be able to come home. If Kemolohlun appears in the land then that's the ultimate game ender. For nobody usually survives when the Dark Lord fights a warrior hunter. Only Taiyo was able to fight and live to tell the tale after a decade of scouting and traveling back to Mimiko through portals, magic holes. Kemolohlun has the power to walk through different worlds, portals and holes just to defeat his opponents. And Keyoshi, as the Chosen Hunter, will need to be this clever or strong to defeat Evil from Good, the Warrior's blood over a corrupt and greedy Lord from the Underworld. Keyoshi has the amulet of a Good Heart that would kill the Dark Lord. She doesn't know it yet until she fights Kemolohlun. Yuna is just a bait and if he takes her, then Keyoshi will be able to kill him by one blow. It sounds so easy but not really! Kemolohlun will never give up and he will get what he has been promised to get, Yuna. She is his price for helping Jazpar and he will get what he wants, even if he needs to kill all warrior hunters including Keyoshi.
Yuna, sleep and I'll check on your father. Okay!, Keyoshi let go of Yuna but the girl kissed her cheek and when Shi felt the connection she grabbed Yuna by the waist and kissed her back. Their mouths found each other and tasted boths sweetest flavors. Their breath were harsh They both licked, bit and sumptuously munched eachs' mouth with so much gusto that they didn't want to let go. Ahh…Yu…na!!, Ahh…Stop…babe! Ahh….I want to be with you and do it, but I need to check on your father! I'll come back for you!, Keyoshi whispered and breathed like she didn't want to leave.
