[IC] Elemental Legends (Sophie and rawkhawk64)

[Sophie]

Sophie heard Valgius' yell but didn't know what to do. She loved him and didn't want him to be in pain. But, he'd just kissed another girl. She'd seen it with her very own eyes. She felt more tears fall down her face. She walked out of her room and towards Valgius' room. She stood in the open doorway, watching, tears running down her face.

[rawkhawk64]

The doctor quickly rushed past Sophie. He examined Valgius over with various medical equipment, none of which he knew the use of. The doctor shook his head. "Young man, I'm afraid you're going to be restricted to just your bed for at least a week. I don't know what caused those internal injuries, but they're pretty bad." the doctor and medics left the room. Princess Rozarain pushed Sophie out of the way as she came in. She quickly walked over to Valgius' bed. "You okay?" she asked. Fire flared up in Valgius' hand. "Don't come closer, or you'll be the first Royal funeral pyre I've ever lit." Valgius said. The Princess was shocked. "Why...?" she asked. Valgius shook his head. "Because, you push yourself upon me without even asking how I feel about you. I don't know how they do things here, but where I come from, you ask another person before you make a move on them. Now, just because your a spoiled brat doesn't mean you can have everything you want." Valgius said, his voice hard and harsh. Rozarain started to cry. "I... see... well, Valgius, let it be known that I will keep trying to win you." she said, getting up to leave. She glared at Sophie. "And you... I don't know what he sees in you. You're just common scum!" she said, turning on her heels and fleeing. Unknown to everyone, the King had heard and seen all. He shook his head. "Oh, Rozarain... will you ever learn?" he asked himself.

[Sophie]

Sophie glared straight back the the Princess. She wiped the tears from her eyes and followed her, angrily.
"I am not common scum! You're the scum, making a move on MY guy!" She yelled after her.

[rawkhawk64]

The King decided to step in. He approached Sophie, putting his hand on her shoulder. He looked down at her as a father would his daughter. "My dear, please, pay her no mind. Rozarain is spoiled, mostly from her mother. Due to this, she thinks she can have anything she wants. Now, I believe I need to speak with both of you as to what happened at the Shi no Danjon." the King said, indicating for Sophie to lead the way.

[Sophie]

Sophie growled under her breath before turning around and walking slowly back to Valgius' room. She really didn't feel like talking, least of all to him. She felt tears in her eyes again and shook her head, making herself stop. She walked into the room and sat in one of the corners, not wanting to go anywhere near Valgius for any reason at all.

[rawkhawk64]

The King sighed. He entered Sophie's room first. "I guess I'll have to get your stories separately. Now, would you kindly tell me what happened at the Shi no Danjon? If you've returned, that means the evil there has been destroyed, right?" the King asked.

[Sophie]

Sophie sat with her arms folded , refusing to talk. She simply didn't want to talk to anyone, couldn't anybody see that? She looked down at the ground and glared at it, as if it was the one who had upset her so much.

[rawkhawk64]

The King shook his head. "Later, then..." he muttered. He got up, heading toward his personal chambers. There, he was surprised to see Valgius making his way unsteadily toward Sophie's room. The King stared at Valgius questioningly, but the young warrior only shook his head, stumbling a bit closer. The King nodded, continuing on his way. After about five minutes, Valgius arrived at Sophie's room. He fell into the room, and continued to crawl towards her. "Sophie..." he muttered, barely able to keep himself conscious. "I... love.... you..." he uttered, before blacking out.

[Sophie]

"Idiot." Sophie muttered before getting up. She knelt down besides him and picked him up off the floor and lay him gently in her bed. She smiled at him slightly, tears still in her eyes.
"I love you too..." She bent over him a kissed him gently, her tears splashing onto his face.

[rawkhawk64]

Valgius stirred, the pain from the tears on his face (which didn't have a mask, as it'd been burnt off), waking him up. "That... Princes... is too... pushy..." Valgius muttered, trying to sit up. "No way... she... could compare... to you..." Valgius added, nearly falling off the bed from trying to sit up.

[Sophie]

Sophie gently pushed him back down. She sighed at his weak attempts to sit up.
"Stop it. Keep still, your hurting yourself." She told him. She smiled and leaned over him, gently kissing him.

[rawkhawk64]

Valgius, after accepting the kiss, shook his head. "No time... for rest... gotta go... defeat... Akumu..." Valgius managed to get out, still trying to sit up. "Just need... a... Healer..." Valgius uttered, now shaking from the pain. Some of his wounds had opened, and were bleeding.

[Sophie]

"No!" Sophie yelled at him, pushing him back down.
"You are hurt. Seriously hurt. Now stop, you're making yourself so much worse!" Sophie told him, glaring at him so he got the message.

[rawkhawk64]

Valgius sighed. "Only... because you're... worried." Valgius said. Just then, the doctor came in with X-ray films. He glared at Valgius, but said nothing as to why he wasn't in his bed. The doctor turned to Sophie. "Well, you're here, which is good. We have his X-rays..." the doctor said, putting the film on the display board and flipping it on. The X-rays showed that all but two of Valgius' ribs were broken in at least two places. MRI scan pictures went up next, which showed Valgius' organs were all but turned to soup. The doctor turned to Sophie. "How this man is even still alive and walking around is beyond me. Medically, this is impossible. Then again, maybe humans where he's from are more resilient... though there's nothing that I can think of that would've caused this much internal trauma." He then pulled the pictures down and flipping the board off. "Until we find a cure, he's under strict bed rest, by both myself and the King. You make sure he stays that way." the doctor said, before leaving. Once outside, he told the guards that only the King and Sophie were allowed free entry and exit to the room.

[Sophie]

Sophie stared after the doctor, still in shock. He couldn't be that bad... Could he? She turned to him, her tears threatening to spill out of her eyes. She took his hand, gently placing her head against it, tears covering him. Strangely though, the tears that landed on him began to glow a strange white glow.

[rawkhawk64]

Valgius, however, was sleeping. The pain had worn him out. He was drifting... drifting... and then he was facing the same figure. "Heh. That was only a taste of Akumu's power. You still think you can defeat him?" the figure asked. Valgius smirked, not realizing he'd done so in the real world as well. "Of course. Just because you have the Darkelings on your side, doesn't mean that you're unbeatable. I defeated Barracador, and I'll defeat Akumu too!" Valgius said. The figure laughed. "We'll see."

[Sophie]

Sophie lay next to him, her tear pouring down her face and onto his hand. She moved slightly and one of the tears caught one of his wounds. The wound began to glow incredibly brightly before dimming and disappearing, leaving no trace of the wound behind. Sophie moved her head to see what all the light was about and saw the wound had disappeared.

[rawkhawk64]

Valgius stirred, the healing power spreading over his body. By the time he was fully awake, his wounds had been completely healed. Valgius lept out of the bed, testing and stretching things. "Excellent work, Sophie. Now, I just need to make a quick trip to my room and retrieve my blade, and then we can head out." Valgius said. He gave Sophie a quick kiss, and left her room, to the amazement of the guards. He briskly walked down to his room, seeing Rozarain there. Fire flared in Valgius hands. "You have three seconds to clear out." Valgius said. The Princess wordlessly obeyed. Valgius changed into his last set of clothing he had on him, strapping his blade across his back, and then fastening his cloak on. He then left, returning to Sophie's room. "Ready?" he asked.

[Sophie]

Sophie looked down, tears still in her eyes. He acted so casually, like nothing had ever happened. But so much had, so damn much. She just wanted to curl up next to him and sleep together and have a normal life with him. But instead, all of this had happened. Not to mention a freaking Princess had kissed him, which she was still pissed over.

[rawkhawk64]

Valgius stared at Sophie, seeing the tears. He had another mask in his hand, which he lifted and placed on his face. "Come. We'll rest up for a couple of days, then we need to figure out what to do next." Valgius said to Sophie. He held his hand out to her, smiling.
