001☀ AMBER
[She’s staring at the amber slice with both curiosity and awe. And because she’s touching it, all of the lovely residents of the tree can see one large lavender-hued eye and a stunning shade of red as her bangs brush the stone. If she knew everyone could see her, she probably wouldn’t be gaping at the artifact in such an unrefined fashion, or giving any potential viewers a look at her tonsils and chin while she fumbles with it. Not only is she from a world without technology, but her knowledge of anything supernatural is limited to her experiences with the dragons. In other words, it’s virtually nonexistent.
’How can a stone be used to communicate? Surely, there is more to it than touching it.’
But as soon as the thought enters her mind, she recalls the yellow gem she held earlier, resulting in wings sprouting from her back. And just moments before, she saw a flash of shifting pictures in the amber, the faces of strangers moving, talking to each other, as if she was looking into a mirror, only the person staring back at her was not herself.
Yona clears her throat, lips tightening nervously before relaxing into an uncertain smile.]
Hello there. My name is… [Scratch that!] …well, I suppose that is rather unimportant at the moment.
…Hopefully I’m not just talking to myself. I saw… people, several individuals, speaking to one another in this stone a few moments ago.
[Of course, it’s highly probable that she’s just lost her mind. Last time she checked, she was having a one-sided conversation with a stone from inside what appears to be a tree. There’s nothing sane about it.]
Then again, maybe I just imagined it.
[Wait. Did she just admit she might be crazy out loud? Yona flashes a sheepish smile, but it wanes after a moment, her expression dissolving into concern, closely followed by apprehension, and then fear.]
H-Hak?

H-Hak?
ACTION
Shisen. The water tribe.
The evasive answers. The way they'd literally tip toed around and showed way too much concern for such a simple injury. He'd suspected there was more to the story, but hadn't ever imagined...
The rage he feels is surprisingly the only thing that prevents him from losing control, because this person in front of him had been hurt so much more than he had. Taking out those feelings on her is the last thing he wanted to do, and so he did nothing. Just stood there--cold gaze focused at a place against the wall just over her shoulder.
No, he doesn't remember because it's something that hasn't happened to him yet back home. But if Soo-Won was in the same town as them...
He isn't sure if he wants to know what happened. But he doesn't answer her question, it's likely obvious the response. It's her choice on what she wishes to let him know.]
ACTION
Yona senses the cold creeping over him, as if his emotions could very well shroud the entire room in darkness. She feels the pain through the hand that is still clenching her wrist, revolting violently within him, directed inwardly because the person responsible for this turmoil is not present.
Her fear breaks, overcome by worry. There is no way she can be suspicious of this person. Not after seeing the darkness seething in the windows of his eyes.]
Oh, Hak...
[She moves closer, and though her physical display of concern might come as a surprise to him, given the sizable gap in their memories, she doesn't hesitate in the slightest to gently put her arms around him.
This person who she cares so much about... he isn't ready to face that man. Not now, and he wasn't ready to face him in Shisen. This is her Hak. The one who has always protected her. She doesn't understand why he's missing so many of his memories, but she will shield him from those unpleasant emotions until he is ready to confront the demons.]
Thank you for coming to my aid.
ACTION
But here and now, it's what he needed. A reminder that here with him was the only thing of any importance. The priority. Tension slowly slipped from his body, coming back to center in his head.
The princess was safe. She was here. The strength of her arms wrapped around his torso and her head pressed against his chest allowing him to feel the warmth of her body--the proof that this was reality. Physically, she was okay.
She was okay.
Arms, which had previously been frozen from the shock of the news, moved to accept the warmth into himself as they wrapped her into his embrace. The contours of his face softening as the tension eased away. He closed his eyes and rested his chin against the top of her head.]
You're okay, right? Nothing happened. You're here. Everything is okay?
[His voice is quiet and questioning, but beneath it all is the obvious fear he feels.]
ACTION
He tucks away his own, before heading down the tree. As expected, Kija is alongside him only moments later.]
That was Hak. It had to be, right?
[Not that he's especially suspicious, though.]
no subject
I do not know, but I will not wait to find out.
[ While Jae-Ha may be more calm, and it's true that he is likely right, the worry doesn't cease. Not until he sees her. And as they both swoop down the light of the tree to the lowest level- the only place he can assume her to still be, even as Jae-Ha lands first, Kija immediately moves forward in a panic. ]
Princess-! Are you well!?
[ Never mind Hak there. He's just- it's so good to see her again. The relief that washes through him is immense, but he wants to hear it from her directly. ]
1/2
I'm alright. You... everyone protected Yoon and I in Kinshuu.
[It was Hak and the dragons who were injured. Yona finds her eyes squeezing closed on the scene that has haunted her ever since it occurred, of Zeno's body being destroyed, broken, slashed limb from limb.
She has so many questions. How long has he been here? Jae-Ha? Kija? How is it that she was with them just moments before finding herself here, but Hak claims he's been absent since the Fire Festival? Why does he have wings? How far are they from Kouka? And... when can they find the others?
Several of these inquiries are on the tip of her tongue, but she doesn't get the opportunity to ask them. Instead, she's distracted by the sound of wings again. Voices.]
2/2
Kija?!
At the white dragon's question, her arms immediately lower and she quickly pushes away from Hak's chest, suddenly insecure about the notion of hugging him for all to see. Her face colors as she struggles to find a smile before turning toward their two companions.]
Uh... [Not off to an eloquent start, are we?]
Me? I'm fine. It's you two I'm most worried about. [She frowns.] Hak doesn't remember Kinshuu and how Zeno fought during the battle.
[She moves toward them, concern etched into every muscle in her face.] How are your injuries? And your illnesses? Have your fevers gone down?
[Before either of them has a chance to say anything, she's already placed a hand on their foreheads.]
no subject
I was just starting to enjoy that...
[Hak just stands there, hands still raised slightly as he stares at the place her body just was in his arms. He scowls, lifting his gaze to his roommates.]
She's fine. Now go away.
no subject
Don't worry. You two can have your alone time, still.
Instead, it's both his and Kija's turn to be confused.]
We're both perfectly fine.
[ He lets Yona do as she wishes, but there's a bit of a frown on his face.]
. . .Kinshuu? What happened to you- [a beat] To all of us?
[It can only mean one thing.]
1/2
Color immediately spreads through his face, his attention shifting fully to the princess. H-Heart, his heart, something is wrong with it, suddenly it's pounding fast. Maybe he really is beginning to feel feverish. ]
2/2
W-We are okay...
[ At least Jae-Ha got out the important answers. ]
