Love Returned
作者：acumen210
A young girl with extremely light brown hair gently hugged a single humongous pink egg that hung in between the trees in webs. She found it a few weeks ago while on an outing. It was her secret place. Her emerald green eyes glittered more beautifully than any jewels. With eyes filled with love, she gave it an extra pat and sat down next to it back to back.
“Hi, little one. How have you been doing? I’m sorry I couldn’t make it for two days. I visited my parents’ graves. Mrs. Beauford gave me two days off. That was very kind of her. The guests at the inn were rather rowdy tonight. Some strange men came in and got really drunk. I was scared. One of the men tried to take me against my will. If it wasn’t for Mrs. Beauford, I could have been violated. She is always very sharp and tries to make sure nothing happens to us girls. Actually, I was even more scared of other people finding out about my strange powers. You know, I was driven out of villages countless times because of it. Just because I’m different, they fear me. Did you get abandoned because you were different, too? Don’t worry. I won’t let the villagers harm you either. I’ll protect you. See you tomorrow.”
The girl sighed and got up. There were so many things she wanted to talk about, but it was late at night. She needed rest if she were to work tomorrow. With a wistful look, the girl walked away.
The next day, there was a commotion at the inn again. However, this time, it was a different kind of commotion.
“Did you hear? The dragons are restless and are attacking left and right! Rochefort was burned down to the ground, I hear.” An elderly farmer told his neighbor.
“Yeah, I heard that too. My nephew next town over saw the fleeing people for the first time just yesterday. I thought those damned dragons won’t be coming this far.”
“You remember Misus Daisy from Forest Green?”
“I remember. She the one who runs that bar in Earlton?”
“Yeah, she’s the one. Lil’ Tommy delivered the goods yesterday and came back. He was told that the number of travelers is increasing by day. Now it’s common place to see strangers pass by over there, I hear.”


“What’s going on here? How did you get out of bed, Ned?” Mrs. Beauford asked the ringleader as she stared down the boys.
“We’ve been just playing…I swear, Mrs. Beauford. Dan here insisted that there is a ghost living in the outskirts of the village. We just went to check!” Ned answered.
“I’m scared.” Greg, the youngest out of the group, cried. He was shaking.
“There is no such thing as a ghost. Go home, everyone, and tuck to bed. It’s late.” Mrs. Beauford commanded.
“But…but, we saw it. It was huge and oval.”
“Yeah, like a giant egg! It was glowing.”
“It’s pink.”
The boys yelled out one after another as they protested. At the description, the villagers all turned their attention to the boys. By the looks of things, the boys did not seem to be lying.
The strangers watched as the barmaid’s face turn pale. A knowing look passed between them.
“Where exactly did you go?” Farmer Wayne asked.
“The forest behind Mr. Adam’s house…” Ned blurted out. He looked guilty. He’d been told countless times not to go in there.
“Enough! Go home, all of you. Your mothers will be worrying about you.” Mrs. Beauford yelled out angrily.
The boys scrammed. Once the boys were gone, the villagers began to talk in a hushed tone. It looked as if trouble will come sometime soon.
“Are you okay, miss?” The bluish-eyed man asked. It brought the barmaid back to present.
“I’m fine. Your orders will be right out. I’ll lead you to your room after you’re done.” She answered with a rather forced smile.


The next day, in the afternoon, a flock of dragons heading towards the village was sighted from afar. The entire village was in a panic. Men came out holding anything that could be used as a weapon. It was too late to run away now. Women were busy packing what few things they could and evacuating children.
“We need a sacrifice!” One of the villagers yelled.
“It must be because of that egg the boys saw last night! We better destroy it.” Someone cried out in fear.
“Smash it with rocks!”
“Burn it down!”
“Roll it off a cliff!”
People began a war cry in earnest. They marched towards the forest where the egg was.
The hooded strangers from last night quietly watched emotionlessly. It was difficult to tell what they were thinking, but it was clear that they intended to follow the mob. Off to the side, an enormously huge man with dark grey-blue eyes stood alone with a face that clearly showed discontent at where things were going. He was a rather handsome, well-muscled man.
One of the strangers approached the man.
“You do you think of all this?” The blue-eyed man asked.
“Nothing.” He answered in monosyllable.
“Wait, please wait! This must be a mistake. It’s just an egg. How can an unborn animal be blamed for this?” The barmaid from last night stood in front of them defiantly. She spread out her arms as she attempted to stop them.
“Move away! How would you know if it isn’t a dragon’s egg!”
“That’s right. If those damn dragons are going to burn our livestock and harm our children, I want to take one of them with me.”
People began to riot as they tried to move onward.
“No, that egg has nothing to do with it. It’s just a coincidence! Just because it’s different from us doesn’t mean it will harm you!” The girl bravely tried again, but got thrown to the ground by one of the men. The march of the enraged mob continued.
The girl got up and began to run in a different direction. The hooded strangers silently followed the girl. The giant man who stood apart from the mob also noticed and trailed them.


“It’s not enough!” The double black cried. It was clear that the dragons are not returning to normal fast enough. One by one, the pink bearbees began to drop to the ground, dead.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s been said that when pink bearbees are offered to the dragons once they hatch, the dragons' rage will go away, but there’s no sign of dragons returning to normal!”
“Don’t lecture me about what can or cannot happen! Everything will work out. If not, I’ll make it happen.” The blond man answered with determination.
The earth-user and Rufus had both of their hands full enough as it is. While Rufus’s attention was focused on a single dragon, another one nearby lashed out with its tail in Rufus’s direction. She had no time to move. The bearbees cried “Nogitsu” in alarm in unison as they flew to protect the lady. They emitted even brighter flames. When the light hit the dragons, one by one, the dragons forgot their rage. Rufus escaped any injuries thanks to the bearbees.
It finally ended. Everyone was exhausted. On the other hand, the bearbees did not fare well. There were only a dozen bearbees that survived, but none of them were strong enough to fly about except for one. They sat on the ground, barely able to keep their eyes open. It was clear that they didn’t have much time left.
Meanwhile, the double black observed a strange behavior from the dragons. It seemed that one of the dragons was in charge. It barked out loud several times and the rest of the dragons began to move away. A single dragon hovered about in the sky. Once the dragons left, the villagers began to come back. Every one of them wore a repentant face.
Rufus gathered up all the remaining hurt bearbees in her arms. Tears were in her eyes. A single pink bearbee that survived the massacre hovered about Rufus with a sad face. “Nogitsu…” They said in a weak voice. Every one of them had a happy face without regrets. Then one by one, their eyes closed. Finally, Rufus burst out crying. No one knew how to console her.
The villagers gathered the bearbees’ corpses and buried them with respect. It took that entire day. Rufus said not a word the entire time. Awkwardly, words of comfort were given to her. She thanked them, but it was clear her mind was not in the present. A single pink bearbee followed Rufus no matter where she went. It was as if it was trying to give her some comfort. After the burial was over, the double black and the blond man headed out. Their things were packed, ready to leave.


-------------------------------------------------
“Take me with you!” Rufus cried. “I’ll do anything. Just take me with you.”
The beautiful blond man stared into her eyes for a long time. It was as if the man was staring right into her soul. She did not look away.
“Do you know what I am? Don’t you find me scary? Doesn’t this man who people say is cursed accompanying me concern you?” He asked as he pointed at the double black.
“You, both of you, are a living being same as me. What’s there to be scared of? I am the same as you. You saw me use it, didn’t you?” Rufus responded. There was no answer. She hesitated, but said in the end, “Also, you protected me and the egg. I thank you for that.”
“Our company may not be suitable for a woman.” The double black gently said. He was neither condescending nor dismissive. She held her gaze straight into his eyes. He smiled. “I don’t have anything against your accompaniment. Her control and mastery of the use of fire was amazing. What do you say? You are aware that she is one of us.”
The blond man looked as if he debated the point. After what seemed like forever to Rufus, he suddenly grinned as he grabbed her hands in his and said, “Welcome!”
The man’s face was so close to hers. Up close, she noticed that he was even more beautiful. She blushed. It was her first and last crush. It did not escape the double black’s eyes.
“In that case, I suppose you won’t mind another companion joining you!” The earth-user with dark-blue eyes and grey hair stood there. He had a wagon with his things well-packed.
“You took my offer! I’m glad. Welcome to our group.” The blond man heartily smiled.
“I didn’t know you were that kind of man, Siegbert.” Rufus whispered.
“You either.” Siegbert answered back in kind.
They headed into the forest of trees. It seemed the double black and the blond man had a destination in mind. After a while, they spotted a single large dragon sitting in between the trees. Siegbert and Rufus almost jumped out of their shoes. The pink Bearbee hid behind Rufus’s head. However, the double black and the blond man calmly walked up to the dragon. The dragon made several noises. Unbelievably, the two men seemed to have understood what the dragon said. The blond man held out a hand. The dragon touched it with his nose. A gentle blue light surrounded the two momentarily. Then the dragon left.
When the two men returned, the bearbee immediately jumped on the double black in curiosity. It hovered about the double black’s head then attached itself to his hair. A moment later, he poked the blond man and said, “The pink bearbee says that it is sorry since they were unable to reduce the damage. I finally figured out the secret to the offering of pink bearbee to the enraged dragon.” It was clear that the double black was extremely happy.
“How?” The blond man asked.
“She told me herself that it absorbs love and gives it back. This time, the pink bearbees did not absorb enough love to calm down the dragons’ rage. Even she doesn’t know what happened, but she thinks that this time, it was the pink bearbees’ love for Rufus that made it possible for them to abate the dragons’ rage.”
“You can talk to the bearbees?” The blond man asked.
“You can talk to the dragons too! Why shouldn’t I be able to talk to a bearbee?” was the only answer anyone got out of the double black.
