| The Guardian Epic Book 1: The Beginning |
Chapter 20: Lost LoveAlainia heard the sound of something sharp piercing flesh and spun around to see Jason lying on the ground with a sword in his chest. Her eyes widened in horror and tears stained her cheeks. David looked between her and Jason and a look of realization dawned on his face. "Ah," he sighed. "You loved him." David walked up to Alainia, pulling his sword out of Jason's chest making him wince in pain. "Well, let me just ease the pain in your heart." He raised his sword and lunged it at her, but before it even came within an inch of her chest, a whip of fire hit his hand making it burn. It was Lurik, holding an orange and red whip in one hand and a blue whip in the other. Seeing her chance to grab David's sword, Alainia dove for it and plunged it through his back and up through his head. David's eyes began to roll around in his head and he fell foward. Alainia nuged his body to make sure he was dead, and a pool of blood spilled out of his mouth. Satisfied, she hurried over to Jason and kneeled beside him. He took her hand. "I'm sorry I yelled at you so many times," Alainia whispered. Miecyzslaw ran over with her bag of healing potions and herbs. Alainia tried so hard to hold back her tears, but she couldn't. They came down her cheeks like little rivers. "No," gasped Jason. Miecyzslaw starting grinding up herbs and pouring a whole bunch of potions into a bowl. "It is I who should be sorry. I should have taught you more. Some place inside me said that you could handle the advanced work even though it was dangerous, but I didn't want to see you get hurt." He smiled weakly at her and put her hand against her cheek, wiping away her tears. "But now I see that I was wrong. I just wish we got to spend more time together instead of these past four months." "Me, too," Alainia said weakly. Miecyzslaw had then finshed the healing solution and tore open his shirt to reveal a gash that was at least three inches long and it looked as though it went very deep. Miecyzslaw caught her breath. "What is it?" Alainia asked nervously. "I...I can't heal that," she said. "It's beyond my skill. Even if I heal the outside, I won't be able to heal the gash that's in his heart. He will still die no matter what I do." Alainia's face became screwed up as she again tried to fight back the tears, but they came never-the-less. "Alainia," said Jason. She turned to him and saw that tears were coming out of his eyes too. "I know I'm going to die. So at least let me die with pride." Silver Moon walked over and nudged Jason's head affectionately. He turned to the silver-blue dragon and smiled. "You have been with me through so much," he said to him. "If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been chosen to train Alainia. Thank you, and you will always be like a brother to me." He turned back to Alainia. "Take care of Silver Moon, Alainia. And most definately take care of Snow Fire. If she dies, you die. And if you die, she dies." He coughed violently. And without warning, Alainia leaned over him and kissed him one last time...
It was a sad and victorious day for the Guardian Academy. They won a great battle, but lost a brave Guardian in the process. When the demons saw that Alainia had killed David, Satasan's son, they fled back to the under water cavern where Satasan lived. Alainia knew that Satasan was going to try and strike the Academy again and again until it was either the Guardians or him that would fall. Who knows how long that would go on. Alainia spent the rest of the day in her room lying on her bed while everyone else had gone to the victory banquet. She didn't feel like celebrating at the moment. She already missed Jason so much. Miecyzslaw then came in to her room. "Hey," she said. "You going to be okay?" she came over and sat on the bed next to Alainia. "I think so," Alainia sighed. "I just never thought that Jason would actually leave me. I loved him so much." A tear rolled down her cheek. "It isn't fair!" She dug her head into her pillow crying her eyes out. She didn't know how much she could take. The fact that she had killed a man was enough to make Alainia have nighmares for months on end. "Well," Miecyzslaw put and arm around her best friend. "Life isn't always fair. But there is one place he's still alive." She smiled at Alainia as she looked up with a confused look in her face. "Because you loved him, he will live on in your heart." Alainia gave Miecyzslaw a watery smile. "No offense," she said. "But that was kind of cheesy." Miecyzslaw started laughing. "Well, that's what I get for practicing in front of the mirror," she got up and got ready to head out the door. "I just hope that you will move on. And being the ruler of all univereses means that the ones who have given us these many abilities we have will allow you to visit Jason's heaven. And if he loves you as much as he says, then he might even visit you in your dreams." Alainia got up as well. "I guess I'll go down with you to the banquet," she sighed, slipping her feet into some flip-flops. Miecyzslaw waited for her. "And plus, even if I don't see Jason ever again, there's no point in morning over his death for the rest of my life. I guess I should just move on." "Yeah, you should," and the two of them left the bedroom and walked down to the Dinner Hall. Little did Alainia know that this Banquet would anounce her as the queen and that she would face even more dangers in the years to come."
