Previous ChapterNext ChapterAminon woke up to find herself on Kalib's back but she was still groggy.
"Where are we?" Aminon asked him.
"We're going to Celestia's room to debrief her." Kalib replied as he turned a corner.
He stopped at a door with the sun emblazoned on it and Aminon slid off of Kalib's back and then they walked in. When they did they were surrounded by guards.
"Imperial Guard Kalib and Royal Guard Aminon, you are placed under arrest by the royal decree of Princess Luna." One of the guards told them.
"See the window?" Kalib asked Aminon.
"Yeah, why?" Aminon asked him.
"I'm going to cause a distraction, when I do jump out of it." Kalib replied. "You have to trust me."
"I'm not going to leave you to these morons." Aminon told him.
"You don't have a choice in this decision hun." Kalib replied.
"Don't get yourself killed because i want to beat the shit out of you for this." Aminon hissed.
Kalib only nodded before grabbing one of the guard's spears and shoving it back breaking his nose before Aminon shot out the window. As she hit the water she saw Kalib land in beside her and they surfaced quickly. Kalib started to freak as he looked around himself and he almost pushed her underwater again. Aminon grab the front of his armor and shook him.
"G-get a h-hold of y-yourself." Aminon stuttered. "W-we're in a f-freezing lake a-and it's s-snowing if we d-don't get m-moving we'll die."
"Land, where is dry land?" Kalib asked her.
"O-over t-shirts, g-get y-your shit t-together." Aminon replied as she tried to pull him toward the shore when she noticed the blood coming from his side.
Before she recovered from the sight Kalib lifted her back onto his back, draping her mane over his eyes and nose, and swam to the shore. He frantically pulled himself into the snow covered shore and looked around.
"Y-you're afraid of w-water?" Aminon asked him.
"Lakes and oceans mainly, the bigger the body of water is the harder it is to get me near." Kalib told her.
"Y-you got h-hurt." Aminon told him.
Kalib looked at his side and grunted.
"First we got you warmed up, then I'll worry about myself." Kalib told her.
Aminon's eyes flew opened but only darkness met her and her breath caught in her throat.
"K-Kalib...." She whispered.
He groaned as he touched her side softly.
"I... I just need to rest..." Kalib whispered.
"I-is there anyway for you to get some light in here?" Aminon asked him.
Kalib grunted as he pushed himself to his feet and relit the pile of tinder and Aminon relaxed until she saw how bad she saw the wound had progressed. As Kalib pushed the fire to where Aminon could feel it warm up her body and after awhile she pushed herself to her feet as he laid down again.
"Where are you going?" Kalib asked her.
"Your wound needs help Anand nouveau won't be doing anything on my watch." Aminon told him.
Kalib watched her as she pieced together a small satchel of grass before she walked over to Kalib.
"I've been needing to thank you." Aminon told him.
"For what?" Kalib asked her.
"For believing in me when some people wouldn't have." Aminon replied.
"You would've done the same thing if our positions were switched." Kalib told her.
"No, I wouldn't have." Aminon replied.
"Could you help me over to the mineral pool?" Kalib asked her.
Aminon trudged through the snow looking for the herbs that she needed to treat Kalib's wound until she heard the snow crunching a few yards away from her and she shot into a tree. She look through the canopy at the platoon of Royal Guards that pasted by right below her. As soon as they pasted Aminon rocketed overhead and as she landed outside the cave she didn't see Kalib in the pool so she ran into the cave. She got to the mineral pool, dropped the herb satchel, and dove into the water. Aminon surfaced and saw Kalib limping back to the pool; stopping when he saw her.
"You bastard, you should be fucking resting." Aminon yelled as she leapt out pool.
"I'm not going to piss and shit in our bathing pool." Kalib replied.
"Lay down and stay the fuck still until I have the bath ready." Aminon told him.
Kalib groaned as he slowly lowered himself down to the ground and watched her work with the herbs and water and thirty minutes later she called him over.
"Do want me up or do you want me to rest?" Kalib asked her as he stopped beside her.
"Just get in the damn bath." Aminon growled.
Kalib looked at the water and then at Aminon.
"It looks cold." Kalib told her.
Aminon huffed before moving to shove Kalib into the water but he just stepped out of the way and she fell headfirst into the water. She jumped out and got right in Kalib's face.
"Get in the God damn bath you little shit!" Aminon growled.
Before she could react he grabbed her shoulders and pulled her into the pool with him. She burst through the surface and splashed Kalib violently.
"You little fuck." Aminon growled.
Kalib swam around slowly as Aminon just starred at him with an incredulous look.
"You're as pale as shit, but you don't seem affected too horribly." Aminon told him.
"You won't believe the amount of adrenaline I'm running on right now." Kalib told her.
"Can you stop moving so that the bath can actually work?" Aminon asked him.
"I could if you asked nicely." Kalib told her.
"I could beat the shit out of you." Aminon replied.
"Well, seeing how the power I had given to you yesterday has left your soul, good luck with that." Kalib told her.
"What did you do anyway?" Aminon asked him.
Kalib stopped for a while as he floated beside Aminon and gently touched her chest and then his own.
"Our souls are easily able to connect which allows me to shares my powers with you." Kalib replied as he brushed his mane out of his face.
Aminon just looked at Kalib before sighing.
"Is this a demon kind of thing?" Aminon asked him.
"That's the thing, I don't use it that due to the fact that I don't truly understand the side effects of the power share." Kalib replied.
Aminon huffed as she looked down at Kalib's wound which had started gaining a greenish tint around the edge.
"After this you'll have to stay still on land so that I can clean up your wound and prevent further infection." Aminon told him.
Aminon looked Kalib who had curved his body slightly around her after she had cleaned out his wound and she rested her chin on his shoulder before she fell asleep.
