CoH CoS (Chapter 28)

Damien sat under a tree in the gardens of Mystical, the Knight headquaters. Words flowed softly from his mouth. His fingers moved soft and sure over the gutiar. Memories of a voice in his mind. His eyes were closed. He could hear her approach. He sang on softly, letting the music flow like honey from his lips. He heard a soft rustle. He remained relaxed, his eyes closed. Then…

Like the wind he moved. It was almost too fast to be seen. His saber blazed forth like lightning. Her blow was blocked strong and sure. He smirked as he moved from the defense to the attack. The blades danced and sang. A different kind of music. She smiled back at him as the blades moved back and forth, deadly and beautiful. They laughed and grinned as if they were dancing, or joking. Yet the weapons moved on, defending, attacking. The music played on, the sabers moving and flowing. The light of the different colored sabers reflected in the fountains and pools around the garden like jewels. And just as they blazed to life so suddenly, so sudden was the sabers sheathing. Damien and Honey fell into each others arms laughing and smiling.

“You’re up and around!” he said smiling.

Honey smiled back up at him.

“Yes, thanks to you.”

“I’m just glad to see you well.”

“And well I am. Now come on, let’s go eat and you can get me caught up on everything that’s been going on while I’ve been on bedrest.”

They linked hands and walked out of the garden together.
