krystalkatzficz>Why are we leaving so quickly?< Jun asked him as he told Masaki to call back the Dune foxes that had been off circling the camp. The king looked over to his lover who was talking to the prince before saying;
>I tell you this is confidence as my second…My beloved spoke with the lady…<
>The lady? But…That…That is impossible…< Jun breathed sharply and Ohno gave a shrug knowing that if he didn’t trust Nino as much as he did he would have questioned the legitimacy of the claim or put it down to being just a dream.
>Perhaps…But so is an Aquenix and yet my love has one…He spoke to the lady and she told him that her tree is dying…< He said and he watched the younger elf’s eyes widen and his mouth drop open in an undignified way. There wasn’t much that could be said about that news and Ohno looked back over at Nino surprised to see that his eyes had gone white as they had done that night in their tent. The silvery tattoos had swirled their way on his skin shimmered even in the light of the sun. He was swaying from side to side a little and Satoshi ran forward catching him easily. He wasn’t sure if Nino could see or hear him but he smiled and whispered; “It’s okay Beloved, I have you…”
“What happened? His eyes…The markings…”
“Forgive me, your highness…My beloved is not a heavy man but I would rather have him laid down so that I am not jerking him around…” Ohno said walking with his beloved to a wagon and laid him down on straw and a sheet. He had fallen into a blissful slumber and the tattoos were gently fading back into his pale skin. Mathias had followed closely at his side and he repeated his questions in quick succession and the king forced back a sigh turning to look at the human prince seeing only concern and confusion in the bright blue eyes. “My love is special, your highness…He is only discovering how much…May I ask what you were speaking of?”
“…I was saying goodbye…And he told me that this wouldn’t be the last time we saw each other…He then spoke of my daughter…And said that the images kept changing…” Mathias answered and Ohno gave a small nod gently stroking the soft white hair of his beloved. The locks were soft and silky between his fingers and he hummed;
“As I say…We are only just discovering how special Nino is…I believe that what he told you is a vision…You will have a daughter…”
“…He said that it kept changing…Why…”
“The future is not certain for any man, my prince…” An aged voice said coming up behind them and Ohno nearly sighed with happiness as he saw the face of his former teacher. “Think of a river…It flows in one direction and one direction only…But place in a large enough rock or cut a line through the fields and the water is still flowing in the same direction but it has taken another course…Choices…Good or bad…They are the rocks and cuts in the rivers of our future…I have not yet met somebody who has been able to see two paths…But maybe the choices you make will have an effect on many rivers my prince…”
“…He said that there was fire and blood…He spoke of hate…” Mathias whispered and Ohno had to admit that it seemed unlikely that a man like the gentle human prince would be consumed with hate but he knew that it was possible. His teacher seemed to agree as he hummed;
“A path that you may or may not follow…”
“I would not hate…”
“…All men are capable of hate, your highness…” Ohno said softly as Nino moaned clearly waking from his dream like state. “I myself hate…But it’s how you act on that hate…That is the key...Beloved? Welcome back…”

A/N: I hope that this is okay ^^

Date: 2016-10-21 11:51 pm (UTC)I love what Ohno said about how people act on hatred. A friend and I had a similar conversation before and it was about jealousy. Her comment was that I don't seem to get jealous. and my reply is similar. it is not that I am not jealous but more that how I react to that feeling...which is usually telling myself that each person have their own path in life and maybe it is just not mean to be mine. :)
Anyway, I really like the philosophical aspects of this story and thank you once again for the writing. :)
