(As dawn rises, so does the day begin. Ruven awoke with a rather puzzled face.)
What was that dream? Why am I shaking?
"It's weird this never happened before. Well, it's pointless to overthink it."
I need to go and train. They'll get angry if not early
(He hastily ran to the ashen grounds and seemed rather surprised. Ruven sees the emperor, Harry, and a strange man.)
Hey, why are you guys just standing here?
IS this he? I've heard quite intriguing things about you. I eagerly wait to teach you about the mystic power of arcane.
Wait!? Are you talking about that arcane?
I SHALL NOT ALLOW IT.
(The strange man suggested to the emperor that they merely do a test. He reluctantly approves. He began the test by summoning a mirror.)
Place your hand on the mirror.
(As he places his hand, he felt a strange suction pull at him, and a strange reddish and bluish mist seeped out of him).
Hmm, such pure and dense arcane energy, only one species has such purity, dragons, just like that woman.
Dragons! No, no, there's no way. I'm a dragon.
(The man is rather excited by such a revelation, but Ruven is stricken by fear at what has been revealed. The emperor told the boy not to fear but to train, and so he did.)
Go and see that woman.
Alright
(He went and saw the woman the man suggested, and was surprised he knew the woman)
Hansai waits. I should read this. She has fierce bioluminescent eyes and a white, rose-embroidered coat.
That bird brain-tricked me. Couldn't he just have told it was her? Hansai, are you really a dragon?
I was going to tell you, but I forgot. You know what, I'll show you.
(She transforms, and flora-like horns emerge on her head, scales on her cheeks and arms)
SO AWESOME, I also can have scales like that?
Sure, if we do a resonance.
COME ON, LET'S DO IT.
(She hugs the boy, and they resonate with each other, but as they do. They repulse each other.)
Urgh. I guess we're not compatible.
AWESOME I got scales but-
BLOOD! WHY IS IT BLOOD!
You idiot! Don't take them out. You did it again, scratching your crimson arm just like the same way you scratch your scales until blood comes out.
(Ruven was utterly surprised that she knew about that; she embraced the boy, tearfully filled with sorrow for him.)
KURENAI, PLEASE STOP DOING THAT.
Why are you crying? You didn't do anything. In these last 2 weeks, you were kind to me just like Tec.
I'm sorry, but I seriously don't know why I do this.
I get it. Don't explain yourself.
(He pounds about the amount of care she has given him and why she felt such sorrow for the act he had done to himself.)
The look she gave me was like she was blaming herself. Ha..I should take a bath.
This bath is always so huge. Why are the two bathtubs anyway?
So that everyone can choose the type of water they're comfortable with.
(Ruven couldn't meet her gaze, so he pounded to ask why she had such guilt.)
Hey, let me wash you.
I'll wash myself.
Come on, don't be shy, let big sister wash you .
Fine, you're so pushy.
(She excitedly washes him; she continuously does the boy senses something from her, but he chooses to ignore it.)
How did you get that scar?
That they were constructing a tower at Robopolis. A giant construction bot working on it tipped the tower, and it crushed my arm. It still throbs.
Let me help you.
(Hansai touches the scar and uses her power and conjure flowers around the scar )
That's better, YOUR POWER AWESOME! HOW DOES IT WORK?
Calms down, I'm done washing you.
Can you tell me more about your power later?
(He leaves the room and goes to bed, but he tosses and turns. Sleep doesn't seem to come, so he ponders on what he shall do.)
Maybe I should practice my power. I hope I don't chicken out.
