Princess Lyn: Fleeting Dreams

It didn"t take long for her to get exhausted . Lyn knew this would happen, eventually . After all, she"s never had to use her blade for such a long time before . Lyn felt Kazuya reach over and placed his hand on her face," . . . you"re sweating a lot, Lyn . . . "

Lyn laughs lightly, " Indeed this isn"t attractive . What an unsightly appearance . I didn"t want you to see me like this," Lyn noticed his growing worried expression . But she shook her head and placed her finger in his lips and shook her head, "I cannot allow you to fight anymore Kazuya . "

What her brother is most likely after is Kazuya displaying his full abilities . Usually, one would regard that as an honor . But now Lyn knew of the hate directed towards Kazuya; she cannot let that happen . Before he could even get a word in edge-wise though, the walls crumble . Lyn immediately bolts up and laces their hands with each other once again, "Kazuya, this way . . "

. . . … . .

When Lyn felt that she could no longer muster her strength, her knees go wobbly, but she didn"t hit the ground, Kazuya caught her . "Are you done being stubborn? This would have ended a long time ago if you just let me fight . "

Her cheeks flushed red realizing what he meant . Right, she"s the one prolonging this fight . But Lyn thought if she put an end to it herself, then Kazuya would not need to fight her brother .

"So stubborn," Kazuya"s lips brushed against her forehead, and he gently kissed her . Oh!
Lyn felt the tears well up in her eyes, "Don"t cry; I"ll be okay . "

"Kazuya . "

Kazuya smiled, "Stay put right over here okay?"

Lyn nodded and with those words said watched as Kazuya swiftly left . After she stopped her tears, she exited the small room and leaned on the pillar outside . Kazuya stood in the center, eyes shut and then — a stream . It was like a stream of beautiful colors wrapped around him . The surrounding colors seemed to dance . The other a.s.sa.s.sins looked at Kazuya with wide eyes - yes they must have noticed it too . Such a crus.h.i.+ng wave of power, making it hard for anybody even just to stand .

Kazuya took a few steps forward, and she noticed the a.s.sa.s.sins looks on their faces . They were hesitating, but somebody murmured, "It"s the Prince orders," and once again charged towards Kazuya .

But it was futile, that person landed on the ground in the blink of an eye . Lyn didn"t even notice when he moved, but he did . The man on the ground clenched his stomach in his pain and rolled over, "Gurghhh . "

The others followed in suit, not willing to give up . However Kazuya simply snapped his fingers, and the surroundings around the a.s.sa.s.sin"s - the ground shuddered and crumbled, fell . Soon they were buried behind some rocks . Lyn"s eyes go wide, the whole time she observed Kazuya . He"s strong, in just a matter of minutes, no seconds; he ended everything .

Strong . Kazuya is powerful .

This power, it"s far higher than her brothers . Maybe even her eldest brother?

"Stop hiding you cowardly Prince . "

At Kazuya"s words, the familiar figure of her brother appeared, "I"ll give you two options Sound Kingdom Amba.s.sador . Leave now and never see my sister again, or stay and…" Kotaro trailed off, as he pulled his blade from his sheath .

Lyn"s eyes go wide horrified, "Wait? Aren"t you going too far?" What"s wrong with him? He"s never gone this far before . Does brother intend to kill Kazuya?

But, she recalled the strength she just saw a few moments ago . The one who is in trouble here is brother . Sure enough, Kazuya raised his hand and once again the ground seemed to tremble .

"That power, a man like you doesn"t deserve it . "

Kazuya didn"t seem amused; he wore a strangely cold look in his face . It surprised Lyn; she"s never seen him look so coldly like this before .
In a flash second, the two were exchanging blows with their blades . The whole time her gaze remained fixed on Kazuya, though he used his weapons now . Lyn could still see the beautiful colors following him . The colors seemed to dance around him .

"How beautiful," Lyn mumbled . She knew this was hardly the time for such a comment . But the more Lyn saw Kazuya"s power, the more she thought how beautiful the light was . A beautiful and bright light . A sonic wave of different sound lengths . So this is what Kazuya mentioned before, about the Sound Kingdom being different . Lyn understands now; it"s no wonder people see them as dangerous . This is a power that people in the Mist Kingdom, no the whole Empire has seen before .

Lyn knew that Kazuya was holding himself back too . She watched as her brother struggled to block Kazuya"s attacks, in the process of blocking them - the pressure of the sound waves around Kazuya seemed to send cuts across Kotaro"s body . Lyn realized it was due to the intense movements of Kazuya"s blade, that the sound waves followed .

"A man like you," Kotaro started, "I won"t accept . " Her brother"s words were cold, but the look on Kazuya"s face was a lot colder .

"You"re a pitiful man," Kazuya commented .

Before any more words could be exchanged though, both blades were raised in the air by a yellow light . Lyn too felt herself getting pulled away by the light but not towards the air . She hits somebody"s back .

"Mother!" Indeed, it was none other than her mother - the 38th Queen Orthez . Mother didn"t say a word to her and carefully moved her aside . Lyn immediately noticed the restraint on her feet and understood .

"Kotaro, I did not permit you to act alone . "

"My apologies . But this kid was overstepping his boundaries . "

Mother"s gaze fell on her, and she smiled, "It"s not our call to make this time . Tell me, Lyn, what do you want me to do with this boy?" Lyn hadn"t heard her mother refer to her by name in a long time . For a moment she was overwhelmed but looked towards Kazuya .

"Leave his matters to me!"

Orthez gaze didn"t waver, as she said, "You"ll take full responsibility?"

"Yes . "

The older woman chuckled, "Indeed, it seems like you"ve changed since I last you . Very well," Orthez lifted her hand and Kazuya"s sword returned to him . The restriction binding her feet was removed, and she rushed over .

"Kazuya? Are you okay?" Lyn asked .

Noticing the wound on his face, she took out her handkerchief and wiped the wound, "It"s bleeding . "

Kazuya laughed, "I"m fine . Didn"t you notice? Your brother got the most damage . "

Lyn looked over at where her brother was, a frown appeared on her face, and she turned back to Kazuya . "He deserved it . "

"My cute sister--"

She shot him a glare, "Go away! You"re not allowed to call me that for at least a month . "

"H-hey wait . . "
Kotaro protested .

Lyn harshly interjected, "3 months . "

Her brother doesn"t say any more, and Lyn quickly returned to addressing Kazuya"s wound . He wore his usual bright grin . Just now, what was with that strength? She"s never seen anything like it before . Lyn felt his hand touch her cheek, "Ah . "

"So, was I cool?" Kazuya asked . A huge grin spread on his face . Is he an idiot? Is he going to ask her that now?It didnt take long for her to get exhausted . Lyn knew this would happen, eventually . After all, shes never had to use her blade for such a long time before . Lyn felt Kazuya reach over and placed his hand on her face, . youre sweating a lot, Lyn . Lyn laughs lightly, Indeed this isnt attractive . What an unsightly appearance .
