"Hehe alright."she lifts her head. Luna yawns covering her mouth. "Tired..."
Blaze yawn as well, displaying his lack of energy. He stands up and motions to his bed. "come on, let's get some rest. We'll share the bed." he walks over to it, dragging his feet, and pulls back the simple blanket. "it isn't much... But I think that we can both fit on here. It'll be just like old times...."
<<150 years ago>>
Within a courtyard, with walls covered with ivy and antique cobblestone pathways, a young boy is seen playing with a wooden sword. He slashes and stabs at his invisible enemies, yelling and cursing at them with pubescent cries.
"Back ye demons! For mine blade is blessed by Orion, and he tasks mine heart to purge thee back to the pits of hell from whence you came!" he spins on one foot and conjures a small flame, then sends it forward into the air, where it immediately died. "dammit, it's not strong enou-"
"Blaze! What have I told you about using such foul language?" A young woman steps out from behind the wall and onto the pathway. She has a stern look upon her pleasant face, accented by high cheek bones and blonde hair, and behind her is a timid girl, with red hair and shy eyes. "if your mother hears you say that, she'll think bad of me as your caretaker. Must I force you to wash your mouth out with soap again?"
Blaze grimaces, remembering the last time. He shakes his head swiftly.
"Good. Now, put the sword down and come here. I have someone I would like you to meet." she steps to the side and brings the little brown eyed girl forward and continues. "This, is Luna of the Moonlight Clan."
Blaze cocks his head to the side. "And... The Moonlight clan is... Good?"*
At his statement, the little girl goes red in the face balls her hands into little fists.
"of course they are Blaze." the woman continues. "they are renowned healers. They placed second at the last tournament, only being beaten *by the Tsukoyomi clan. And not by much either. It's fortunate that your father has strong ties to the Moonlight clan. Luna will make a great companion, just lik-"
"who said I want a Moonlight clan companion? Why not from tsukoyomi? They are the best? And I want the best." he folds his arms and taunts Luna. "besides, who said I want a crummy girl as my companion? I bet she can't even use magi-"
Suddenly, he was cut off by a wave of water, knocking him to the ground. When it passes, he begins spluttering and looks at the source in disbelief: Luna, her hands outstretched, and her brown eyes filled with anger.
"Moron. You best be lucky my daddy agreed to this offer. He could have refused. But he said the next inn line needed a friend, a play mate, and someone to protect them in the future. To heal your stupid butt when you get a scratch, or to protect you when dangerous people want to strike in the night." she then hits her chest in emphasis with her fist. "and that is me. The Moonlights are second in the world when it comes to healing, and fifth inn the world when it comes to fighting. We are the best if you combine the two. Now don't make me show you again; learn your place...."
<< 5 years later>>
The room is dark except for a light shining beneath the covers of a blanket. Shushing and giggles can be heard underneath it.*
"sshhhh, if they hear us, we'll have to go to bed."
"okay, okay... Okay, my turn. Uhh.... Okay, I once dreamt... That people sat in boxes and traveled in them. At high speeds!"
"no way, you're a liar Blaze! Boxes can't move!"
"shhhh, if we aren't quiet, Ruby will-"
The door to the bedroom bursts open, showing the caretaker angry, holding a lantern.
"Blaze, Luna. Go. To. Sleep! Don't make me come in here again."
The two throw the blanket off of their heads and just nod their heads. As Ruby leaves, the two lay down facing each other.*
Luna blushes as he stares at her. "Uhh.. Blaze... You tired yet?"
"yeah, I've been tired this whole time. Let's go to sleep already." he then turns away and tries to sleep. After a few minutes, he whispers to her. "hey, Luna?"
"yeah, what?"
"I'm glad you're my companion."
"me too."
<<Present Day>>
"yeah.. Just like old times" Blazes repeats himself as he climbs in and moves to the far side of the bed, leaving room for her.
