After disaster

[Alessa]

When the Illusion started dissipating Alessa started to calm down and release her Kirin's Blessing from Katana's form into Necklace form. Suddenly she felt down on her knees and hold her chest. She's in pain.

"I-I guess my energy still not yet recovered from the last fight," she thought in herself. It maybe true that Eliza has completely healed her wound, but not her energy.

[Leo Nightmare]

After seeing the illusion that playing with them over, Nightmare take a breath. He little bit weak, because of Destruction Ray effect. He know he should't use it often, but in order to protect his friend from the insane wild monster, he use it a lot.

"Mitsuko, Alessa, Eliza, Are you guys ok?" Like him, Mistuko and Alessa also exhaust of their energy, while Eliza still weak because using much power during curing Alessa. Nightmare try to go near them, but he so tired,and slowly he fall down. Suddenly he hear a step foot, that come more closer to them. He though it's only his imagine, but Eliza also detect that someone near with them.

"Someone coming."

[NPC: Male]

"Wow, it's rare to found people in this area. Can I help you, young girl and and boy?" In front of them, there's standing an old man. He walking here to find a herb and hunt some animal. He bit surprise, meet another human here.

" Evening, old man. My name is Nightmare. We all bit tired after fight with something. May I know who are you?". The old man laugh, and smile. He seems friendly. "Ho,ho,ho. My name is Zen. I'm a one of town resident here." Nightmare shrug. "It's mean, there's a town over here?" "Yes, if you guys don't mind, I can show you the town, and show you the inn. Hoh! Hoh!"[/color]

Mitsuko supported Suzuna with her arm, considering that she was younger then the rest, Mitsuko had this responsibility to take care of her, and while the angel herself was tired she used her power to restore the young girl's energy. She gently made Suzuna lie down across her lap, and Mitsuko began to use her power to stabilize Suzuna.

"Before we go, we should regain our strength... It's not good to just suddenly start walking again after that thing we experienced right? Please give us a moment sir, while I take care of my friends."

"Are any of you hungry? Or thirsty?"

[Alessa]

Alessa feel very comfortable as Mitsuko tries to give her some energy. She slowly able to breath normally as her energy now didn't reach the dangerous zone. Surprised to see another person came out of nowhere, she only can wonder if a village is really nearby.

"Just water please," she replied to Mitsuko when she offer some food and drink. She is tired, and feel sick. She still confused why her body is being that weak. She knows that Eliza and Mitsuko already heal her physical wound and her depleted energy. But she can't help it but to keep lying on Mitsuko's lap.

She can only wait for decision that has yet to be made by Nightmare and Mitsuko about going to the nearby village that the old man spoken of.

[Deleted]

Mitsuko started to get a very bothersome feeling and that was she could tell that Suzuna was starting to look very sick, perhaps when she used her power earlier it took too much out of her. What the others didn't know about the angel was that she was a newly registered nurse. Mitsuko reached into her bag and brought out a bottle of water, and then she sat Suzuna up from her lap and helped her get the water that she wanted and needed.

Soon afterwards the angel picked up Suzuna like a baby and decided that she would carry her to the Inn as soon as Nightmare recuperated himself. Mitsuko knew if she allowed Suzuna to walk on her own in her current state, the young girl would collapse and possibly end up injuring herself in the process. As Mitsuko held her like a newborn child, she allowed her angelic light to keep stabilizing Suzuna.

"Don't worry... you'll be fine Suzuna. My light will support you."

[Leo Nightmare]

Seeing Alessa become more weak, and reaction from Mitsuko, Nightmare decide to follow the old man. "Ok, we will follow you, Zen. Can we start go now, I worrying about Alessa *sigh*".

"Ho,ho, in that case, follow me. Before we start go, take and eat this. This is Green herb, and can increasing your energy a bit." Nightmare eat the herb, and also Mitsuko and Alessa. Nightmare feel very sorry at Alessa, which is so weak and being carried by Mitsuko. The way to town village only took 5 minutes. The Village scenery looks gloom and sad. It's seems like abandoned village, though there's still a few people live there. After Zen guide them into inn, Zen with gentle ask their permission to left.

"If you need something from me, come to my house at north of this village. Ho! Ho! Ho!" After the old man left, Nightmare look at Alessa, which is now laying at bed and being caring by Mistuko. "Mitsuko, can you take care Alessa? I really worried about her fever. I going buy some food and medicine. Will you follow me, Eliza?" "Sure, Nightmare."

[Alessa]

Alessa is now helplessly lie on the bed. She caught a high fever due to the infection of the wolves bite wound. Her encounter with Horrock worsen her infection. Although Eliza did heal her wound but it was too late as the infection spread inside her. She is sweating and shivering. She never caught such high fever before. All this time she were taken care by her parent specially her father who would never let her fell sick.

Its because Alessa has hereditary diseases which comes from her mother. She were given born with weak physical body. Even though her mother too suffer from the diseases, but Alessa suffer worst. She can't even walk properly at the age of 5.

Now she is able to fight normally as she is blessed with magic power to control lightning. She often use electric current on her body to increase the performance and fight against other diseases. The previous fight took almost all of her energy which deliberately exposing her to infection and diseases because she can no longer use her power to support her body.

Being taken care by Mitsuko she felt guilty as she is dragging down Nightmare and others.
"I'm sorry Mitsuko-san... From the beginning until now, you always help me. I'm such a weak child from the day I was born..."she sigh in depressed.

[Deleted]

"Please Suzuna, don't apologize. Please don't feel like you are a burden or anything like that. Everyone needs someone to take care of them at some point. Even me. I remember when I got sick with a bad cold and flu, my best friend and my friend, and my adoptive father, and even my brother came to help me. And you remind me of my best friend. My best friend when I met him he was a child just like yourself. He was weak too, due to circumstances but I enjoyed taking care of him."

"And now he's grown into this strong man that protects me. He was so small... at first but he grew. And as he grew he got stronger. The point is Suzuna, while you see yourself weak right now. That's not how I see you. What I see is that one day you will grow into this beautiful woman that can do anything if she sets her mind to it. You could one day be a person that takes care of someone too. We all get sick, but as long as we have people that support us, and helps us feel better, we can kick our illness to the curb so to speak."

"My main goal in life is to always help people. I get joy from doing such good things... When I do good things it helps mend the pain I once felt before in my own heart which was caused by people that have hurt me. Tell me.. What is your greatest wish?"

[Alessa]

After hearing Mitsuko's explanation, Alessa tears started to drop. "Th-thank you... s-so... much," she tried to hold her tear but she can barely done it. There are no more words she can say. She know Mitsuko is a kind angel who would gladly help anyone. But her kindness touched her so much. She can only nod and try to fight the infection inside her body. She no longer wanted to drag the team anymore. Enabling to summon the remnant of her lightning power, she slowly fight backs the infection from within her.

[Leo Nightmare]

Nightmare walk into town with Eliza, as Eliza notice around them, she feel sorry and sad to this town. "It's okay to left they two alone?" Nightmare smile. "It's okay. We must find medicine for Alessa now."

He go to the clinic, and buy some medicine. "Her body very hot. it's must be fever." In they way to go back to their Inn, they found a small house, which is full with little flower as decoration in the front house. "This must be his house, wan to meet him?" "Sure". "Excuse me, anybody here?" Nightmare open the door and enter the house. Eliza face palm, and shrug. "You can't just barely enter someone house like that. You must knock they door first, and wait till the owner house open the door and greet you."

Nightmare feel a bit shame at his act. HE don't know how to polite much. He haven't any friends before since he child. All his classmate don't want friend with him, because Nightmare eyes is different with normal human eyes, and yet, Nightmare like to spent his time to study more then active in sport, making him been think as strange guy. He and her mum also always move out because all his neighbor think them a demon, because Nightmare eyes. Though he come to DDE after his mother death, he live alone at Meteor Garden because he don't want be hated by anyone again. Since he got 2 visitors at his castle before, which is Syani and Jean, is quiet give him happy.

"Nightmare, are you listening?" Eliza close his face with Nightmare face, making he blush and show his clumsy. "Y-yes!" Eliza stare at Nightmare, and found out Nightmare face so red. "What happen? Did you got fever too?" Eliza come more near to Nightmare. As he blushing, Nightmare quickly try go go far from Eliza."N-no! Don't come close much!" "Ho!Ho!Ho! What can I help you?"[/color] The old man standing front of them, while holding a hot drink, which is popular drink, that so tasty and delight. "Thanks,Zen. What is this? I never see this drink before." "Ho! Ho! Ho! Holicks! That's the drink name."

After take a few sip from holicks, Nightmare put down the drink. "This town look so abandoned town. May I know what is going on here?" Zen look down with sad face. "Actually this town is bit pretty before. However, one day, there's a skeleton figure come this town, and try to cause chaos. With appearance as wearing hood and using scythe as his weapon, his kill some people here, and kidnap 5 town peoples. We have no idea what's his agenda is. We believe he waiting someone, and use kidnapped villagers as ransom."

Nightmare shocked and almost spit out his sip. "This is not mean him." Eliza look at Nightmare with questionable face. "Do you know him, Nightmare?" "Yes. He must be Death." "Death?" "Yeah, Death. He was my loyal servant before, and living with me at my castle. Until one day we got visitor from human, it's really creep him out, and say that I just same with human, and he ran away. Since that day, I never meet him again. And I try to find him. That why I come into War Field Tharey." "I see." After ask a permission to going back to Inn, he keep though that he just a bring bad luck to people, including Alessa. "After this settle, I won't come near with human anymore. I don't human got hurt because me anymore."

[Deleted]

"You are very welcome and tears are a good thing if you have reason. And your tears are telling me that you are grateful. Now together we will help you recover. I just hope Nightmare is not blaming himself for what's happened. It's no one's fault. All we can do is pray that bad things don't happen, but when they do happen we should try to find the good in it."

Mitsuko gently kept hold of Suzuna.

"You are a strong girl. You are going to get through this, that's the good in the situation you are facing I know this will strengthen your resolve. I will help any way I can, you are not a burden to me at all."

[Alessa]

Motivated by Mitsuko, Alessa slowly began to fight off the infection inside her. She is winning. She is blessed with power that will support her to live... It is the power that her parents tried to protect. Now it is protecting her. Then She finally done it. The infection is gone. Now what only remains is to rest and wait until the medicine come to fight off her fever.

She used too much energy lately, even so she now learning how to control it. As she slowly gets up, she smile at Mitsuko. "I'm better now... I somehow manage to fight off the infection. Whats left now is my fever. Then I guess we can get - " she paused as she saw Nightmare entering the Inn. Carrying the medicine, Nightmare face looks troubled. She can only guess that Nightmare is worried about her. Realizing that, with smile she greet Nightmare. "Welcome back, Nightmare-kun"

[Leo Nightmare]

Seeing Alessa is now awake, Nightmare reply Alessa greeting with rushing into her bed. "Alessa? Are you ok? Did you fever down?" Nightmare touch Alessa face to make sure the fever down. Seeing Alessa bit scare, he go off a bit and try to calm him self. "Sorry, I just to worried. Don't worry I have no intention to harm you." Eliza face palm, and she smile seeing Nightmare clumsy. She don't know why, but she feel happy seeing Nightmare like that. "I buy the dinner from Inn restaurant. Here take this. Also take this medicine, Alessa."

Nightmare sit, and he only eat some food, and he stop eating. He feel so guilty as what's happened. Slowly, he talk into Alessa and Mitsuko. "I'm sorry. Eliza tell me there's a wolf bite at your hand during healing process before, and I sure it must be from the wolf that I scare them. I hope you forgive me a what's happened. I always bring a bad luck to human." Eliza sad, and she smiles. "But if you don't do that, maybe you won't find me, and maybe I still been caged in that bottles."

[Alessa]

Seeing Nightmare act like that Alessa shake her head from her blush and tried to comfort Nightmare. "Don't blame yourself for it Nightmare-kun... Like Eliza said, if you didn't do that, maybe we would never met," She gave a smile at Nightmare. "Anyway, rest assured, the infection is stopped. My power is able to fight it," she continues as she eat the medicine that Nightmare bought for her.

She is happy, she now have two caring friend by her side. Its calms her. It makes her able to fight her past and to move on for the present world.
