:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The First Day:

"Why the hell did you touch a blassimenia flower?"

The covered-up boy screamed in anger as he ran with his full force, once again Celestinia was on his shoulder lunging on, behind them a horde of angry rhino-looking monsters followed, since Celestinia was unable to use magic all the boy could do was take her up once again and run for their life.

The angry rhinos were right on their tale, and the boy using magic could only hasten his speed as he tried to get rid of the death horde catching up to them.

The Same Night:

"Who puts salt sugar instead of salt?!"

The cloaked boy screamed as he caught his neck, trying to hold back his vomit as he looked at the food kept in front of him before him stood a guilty Celestinia as she looked at the food she had created.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Fourth Day:

"If you want honey then go for it alone!"

The boy shouted as he ran with Celestinia on his shoulder, behind him an angry pack of bees made great headways to attack him.

The Same Night:

"At least you learned to know what's good and what's not"

He spoke as he took a bite of the cake that was presented, making a smile light up Clestinia's face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

12th Day:

"Why didn't you dodge?"

Celestinia asked with a pained voice as she looked at the boy holding his stomach where blood was sweeping through, his injuries dangerous, to which a chuckle left his hidden face,

"Well if I did you would have got hurt"

His reply caused Celestinia to clutch her hands tighter, the feeling of powerlessness engulfing her but all she could do now was to help him attend to his wound.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

17th Day:

"Why didn't you dodge?"

The boy asked with a pained tone, as he held Celestinia who was now laying on the ground of a cave, her hands trembling, while grunts of pain left her mouth, there no was injuries outward, making it such that whatever she was suffering was from the inside,

"Th-Then yo-grh!, you wo-would have-have got hur-"

She wasn't even able to finish her words before her pained call left her mouth, her actions showing how much pain she was going through, the boy didn't speak anything but his clutched hands that were drawing blood showed another story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

25th Day:

"Yo-You let me go!"

Celestinia screamed in the boy's embrace, instead of the old way right now she was in a princess carry but it brought her no joy, not when she was clutched in a protective embrace being protected, the back of the boy protecting her from being hit and ripped apart by monsters, trying to feast upon his flesh.

They were right now in this situation caused by Celestinia, while she was indeed smart and cunning, she required no need to study upon the terrain, beasts, and plants of the world, not when it was nothing to her and this was now causing the suffering of the boy who has already taken a large place in her heart,

"Ne-Never"

The boy replied, holding her tighter while taking the brunt of the attack, his blood now flowing down his back, his grunts filling Celestinia's ears,

"Leave"

He screamed as his sword ripped back, his sudden movements causing the beasts to be taken back as the sword plunged through the neck of one of them, taking its life out, while the other one roared in anger, its call bringing in more of these monsters, looking like the mix of an elephant and tigers,

"Run!"

Celestinia screamed, and the boy obeyed as he blasted forth, the beasts catching up to them, they were now in a muddy closed off terrain making it hard for them to keep moving, it didn't take long for them to be surrounded again, bloodlust surrounding them,

"This will be a tough one"

The boy spoke, his hidden face now looking at his enemies, trying to find out their capabilities,

"Here be safe"

He spoke as he placed Celestinia in a protective bubble, placing her behind him, her protest unable to make him change, his sword in his hand as he raised it towards the beasts in front, his back facing hers, giving her the full view of what the boy was willing to do to protect her,

"Come"

The boy spoke and just as he did the beasts roared as they jumped towards him, with the will to kill.

Half An Hour Later:

"Why?"

She asked as she held his sinking body, mud covering them both but she held no heed, even now she's unable to peer into his face, the cloak he was wearing seemed to have the same function as her as even with all the blood and tear remained in his body, his face remained hidden, not even a hint of it being out.

All around them the corpses of beasts lay, all of them killed, ripped apart, while the boy was barely holding onto his life,

"Just because"

He replied with a chuckle,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

34th Day:

"Beautiful"

Celestinia replied as she watched the beautiful moon above the sky, right now both of them were sitting atop a hill, the beauty of the jungle surrounding them, while the stars twinkled bright, seemingly right out of reach, at the hills end they sat shoulder to shoulder, the previous great distance between them disappeared.

Celestinia who was never close to another man other than her father now sat shoulder to shoulder, not a hint of discomfort on her, not after what they being together, not after what they have fought together. A sense of peace filled them as they sat but the weird thing here was the fact that none of them had shown their face to each other.

Even, after all, they have been through, the two of them have yet to show their face, a tactical decision between them seemed to form, a decision that the time wasn't right.

Slowly the boy's hand moved, his left hand in slow motions moving towards Clestinia's right hand, at first it was a small touch, a tremble being earned from her but she didn't pull back, having gained confidence the boy's action became bolder as he intertwined his hands with hers, being one.

All through this a small blush filled Celestinia but she didn't reject it, comforting with his movements she too held his hand, her head even though taller than him leaning to his shoulder, her eyes sparkling brighter than the stars that lit the sky,

"I will make the dinner today, what do you prefer?"

The boy asked,

"I want something special tonight"

She replied as a smile graced her face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

40th Day:

"You will be attending the Babylon Academy after this?"

Celestinia asked, as she now lay on the cool grass with her head on the boy's shoulder, her hands now held and intertwined with the boy, her white hair sprayed around. A smile on her hidden face as she held his hand closer,

"Yes, we could go there together"

The boy suggested,

"Seems like a bother"

Celestinia replied, just enjoying the night breeze

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

50th Day:

"Why can't you go faster!"

Celestinia screamed at the boy, her eyes now tired, the joys of the world now missing from her life, making her each day more and more unbearable, the primitive way of going on now catching onto her, once the repetitiveness of adventures set in, the boy could only try to pacify her,

"Okay, we can try"

The boy finally gave in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hence from then forth their journey became faster, while Celestinia's emotions became more and more irritable, this was not just due to her current lifestyle, it was more pattered towards the seal on her that was suppressing her true patience and calm level thinking, bringing out a more primitive side of her.

This also was the main reason that the feelings between them developed so fast but a limit was being reached, the Dragon God didn't think that Celestinia might stay there that long, the thought that she would fail and return to the Dragon Realm where the seal would be removed filled it but it was wrong.

As the days increased so did Celestinia's annoyance and anger, the intelligence she showed during her first days being lost and lost, while all her anger and frustration started to be thrown onto the boy, he didn't say a single complaint as he took it all in, his feelings for her holding him in check but at some point, it all had to break.
