"It dosent need to go on too thick...right, spread it evenly"
The troll help, explaning Nezha in every detail and careful as Nezha spread the cure all around it's face
"Massage gently and pat in for faster absorption. It even makes the skin smooth and supple.." the trolls face looks twice as ugly than before
(Later..)
After the cure worked, the man has turned himself back to normal as the little girl hid behind me and Nezha
Before the troll was about to set off, the boy stopped him from doing so
"Wait."
"Please spare me! I came to shore just to take a dog! I didn't eat a single person!" The troll pleaded, bowing at the man as to hitting his forehead against the sand creating a hole onto it
"You've given up the antidote, so I won't hurt you. But if you ever do harm in the future, I won't spare you again" he threaten as the demon troll nodded in constant fear
"I won't! I won't!" The troll said about to leave before I stopped him
"Hold on monster. I wish to speak to you, some word of advice" I tell him, smiling happily at him as he looked back at me, smiling back
"Y-yes ma--" giving the troll an upper cut, making him fly back as he turned into water and splashed into the sea
"That's for the dog!!" I yell, dusting myself off before turning to Nezha and the guy
Both look at me in shock, flabbergasted by my action
"...what? He deserves it" I say walking back to Nezha, standing a far distance from the guy
Feeling the pain struck into my stomach again, making me fall onto my knees. Holding my stomach as Nezha ran towards me, holding my arm
'Okay, maybe punching that monster wants such a good idea.'
"Annya, you reckless dusnse. Try to be more careful" Nezha said, looking at me angrily
"D-dont worry...just a small injury. No big deal" I say about to stand up befote Nezha carried me, surprising me as he set me down ontop of a rock
"You should rest. I'm sorry you've got wrapped up into this mess.." He says, looking sad at my injury
"Ahw, don't worry. I'm fine, really." I say patting his back, he smiles up at me
"Hey, little rascal" the guy called, turning our heads to face him
"What? Do you want to fight again?" Nezha ask, protecting me and the little girl behind him
"..Youre no match for me." He says, Nezha looks away and back at him
"What? I'm no match to you? Come on then, let's go again--"
"Thank you for saving my life"
"Eh?" Nezha stopped his tracks and look over at the guy bowing to him. Unextpected of the guy to say as he only stare at the guy, unsure what to do next
"And thank you for saving this girl. I know kindness from hatred. I will repay the kindness you showed me today" he says, bowing to him
'Either you mean kindness from giving you the cure or the beat down he gave you'
"O-oh...hehe it was nothing. I was just following the will of heaven!" He says, making many fighting poses
"I'm the best at slaying monsters" he says, posing in a fighting combat
Giggling at his silliness until the girl walked towards him. Having a toy in her hand and giving it to Nezha
"Aren't you...afriad of me?" Nezha ask the little girl as she only smiled in return
"You beat up that demon." She replies, giving Nezha a toy in her hand
Nezha stood in shock, unsure what else to say but smiled, grabbing the girl and twirling her around. Both laughing in pure joy
Smiling faintly at Nezha. Seeing him this happy, it was a while seeing him this happy
Before the guy was about to leave, Nezha stopped him from doing so
"Wait! Do you..wanna play before you leave?" He ask, showing him the toy the girl had earlier
The guy hesitate at first before he look back at me, Nezha and the little girl
He smiled and nodded
"Sure...lets play" he said
About a few minutes, Nezha and the guy started playing together. Kicking the toy to each other
Both were matched by the intense of skill and strength towards each other
The girl sat next to me as we both see the two of them play
'Both pearls...balanced each other. Within the sunset, both worlds exists in peace'
Looking over at Nezha. His face have pure joy and happiness as he kicked the toy back
'Nezha...you look so happy. I haven't seen him like this happt since ever..I'f you're happy, I'm happy too..'
Before even saying that, remembering from earlier, he looked so concern and worried over my own health
He tried protecting me, even tho I can fight and tend to my wounds...he still tried to help me
Feeling a curve of blush run over my cheeks, stopping myself as I slap my mind
'Wha...w-what was that?!'
After a few more minutes, the guy kicked the toy back to Nezha but Nezha didn't catch or kick it back. He just stood as the toy just hit his stomach, making it fall down onto the sand
"Nezha..?" I called his name
The guy walked behind him as Nezha turned around facing a rock and rubbed his eyes
"What's wrong?" The guy ask Nezha, kneeling behind him, his hand over Nezha's shoulder
"Nothing nothing...i just got eyes in my sand..." Nezha replied back
"...what?" I ask
"You mean you've got sand in your eye." The guy corrected him
"Let me see. I'll blow it out for you" he offered
Nezha looks over at him, his eyes big and beautiful shade of ruby red. Smiling at Nezha as he looks over to me too
"...THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING!!"
Nezha yelled punching through a rock, creating a hole as the guy and I stay still. surprise Nezha yelling and punching
"N-Nezha? Whays wrong?" I ask
He turned around looling over at me and the guy as he just sat in shock
"Fine! I admit it! This is the first anyone has played with me beside my mother and my servant!"
"I thought you had a good time playing with me with Chase the--"
"Annya please, I'm admit this, don't ruin the moment!" He said
Making a poker face but Nezha continue
"I got emotional! Go ahead. Laugh!" He yelled before turning around, sitting crisscrossed while huffing. Tired by the extreme punching as his cheeks flustered
Smiling at him, happy knowing he took my advice and expressed how he felt just now
The boy took out a shell showing it to Nezhan as Nezham looks at it confused
"We're friends now, if you want to play, you and your servant can come to the beach to find me." He said, looking over at me and smiled
'I have a name yknow.'
"When I hear the sound of this conch, I will come from wherever I am" he explains giving the shell to Nezha
"My name is Ao Bing. What's your name?" He ask
"My name is Nezha.." He tells
The guy looks over to me and smiles
"And you?"
"Oh? I'm Annya" I say
He nods but turns his attention behind me. His eyes squint, looking back the twins people running our way
"Someone's coming.."
"What?" Nezha looks back and looks over to me. Turning back to ask Ao something, he disappeared
"Huh..? He's gone?" Nezha ask looking around the beach to see no trace of him
"You should return the girl, it was you who rescued her in the first place" I tell him
He smiles happily, nodding
Turning back, the mother of the child swooped in and hugged her tightly. Nezha smiles back to me and winks
"My daughter!"
"Sis! Sis, are you alright?"
"My daughter.."
The mother and boy turns to me and Nezha but mainly to Nezha. They glare at him, standing up as I stand beside him. Worried why they are giving such a look
"He hit and hit and hit! And the demon went boom!" The little girl explained smiling at us
"Nezha! Why did you kidnap my sister??"
"Kidnapped?" I ask putting my hand over Nezha, stopping him from even attacking the villagers
"Nonesense! If I hadn't defeated the demon, she should've been eaten!"
"Where is the demon? Did you see it? Did you see it? Are you insulting our intelligence?" The kid ask as the villagers agreed, taking the kid side
"Yes!"
"We'll tell commander Li! And see what he thinks!"
"You won't get away with this!!"
They all yell before I stood infront of Nezha. Defending him and protect him by even if they dare try to throw something at him
"Everyone please calm down! I was here! I saw the demon! Nezha defeated it and banished it far away from here! He saved the girl!"
"You have no room to talk! You were responsible to watch over this...this monster!"
"How dare you speak the young prince like that! He was doing what was right!" I yell before one of the town's people step out of the crows and towards me
"You should of known better than to let this terrorist spread it's evil around! You're at fault at this as much he is!" The town man yell
"I'm sorry but I can't just banish him either! Please if everyone stay calm and we'll talk, I'm sure we can show you proof of the demon being here in the first place"
"Proof this!" A hard stinging slap against my cheek, making me loose my balance and falling onto the sand
"And you! You should be locked--" before he can finished, Nezha punched the man's stomach. Launching him back as his back hit against the sand
"Hey Demon! Don't touch my--!"
Nezha sped to the older kid who yelled, Nezha grabbed his shirt lifting his fist high, threatening the kid
"You want to say that again?"
"No! Stop!"
"Achou!" The mother cried, getting a pabble boat, hitting it against Nezha head
Nezha didn't do anything but just stay. About to stand up, Nezha punched the mother's chin, throwing her off. Making her fly and crash onto the sea
"The Demon is attacking!" town man yelled as everyone ran towards Nezha about to attack him
"Nezha!!" Running over to him, hugging him closely while the town's people swung down their paddles. Hitting each and every side of my body. While protecting him, the pain within my stomach started coming pain, feeling weak as pain struck on me
"We'll kill you, demon!"
"Don't ever wake up!"
Wincing in pain with every hit, Nezha arm slipped out. Grabbed a man's pole close to my head, pulling the man down into the sand as he grabbed the pole. Jumping out of my arms and swung around. Pushing the people back away from me
Nezha started attacking the town's people, everyone each person being either knocked down or be flown away by Nezha strenght
'N..n-no! Nezhan!!'
About Nezha threw a spear at a villager, it got blocked by Taiyi making it fly upward
"Your master is here. Do not hurt others!" He said before the spear fallen back onto Taiyi shoulder
Making him jump in pain as the spear stuck inside him
"Nezha!!"
Looking back, Lady Yin and Lord Li on horse back, riding before stopping, getting off and running towards Nezha
"Lord Li! Nezha burned down the village, kidnapped a child and beat up the villagers! You must be the judge for us!" An old man bowed to Li before Nezha picked up a pabble
"Bullshit! I'll teach you to spout lies!" He yelled, jumping towards the villagers as they all backed up behind Taiyi
"Nezha! No!"
"Nezha!!" Jumping over the villagers, blocking Nezha attack but in the heat of the moment, the pain struck within me. Accidentally slipped my dodge
Nezha threw the pabble hard, hitting my stomach. As if a kick of the gods struck down upon me. Flying back wards, hitting the sand multiple times until I stopped. Hitting against a large rock against my head. Making me fall back onto the sand, feeling the strength leave me as I felt nothing to weakness and hurt
"A-annya!!" Hearing Nezha yelled before hearing muffled sounds around me
'N..nezha..'
Feeling my body grown tired, feeling my eyes close. Hearing foot steps and muffled sound and a ringing in my ear
'C-cant..stay awake for much...long..'
Before than, I've fallen asleep.
(No one's Pov)
Taiyi threw a sleek, wrapping itself around Nezha as he fallen onto the sand and struggled to get out before he run back to Annya
"Annya! Annya! Are you okay friend?" He ask, as he lifted her head carefully. She winced in pain, her eyes closed and her open slightly open. Breathing heavily and carry her carefully
"Nezha!" Lady Yin runs over to pick up Nezha as he struggled into her grasps as Lady tries to calm him down
"Lord Li, you have to lock him up. You can't let him out again." An old villager man said, walking out thw crowd, bowing to his Lord
Taiyi coming back, in his arms is his old friend. Her body bruised and cut, hearing her groan out of pain as Taiyi shushed her to try and relax
"Have him locked up until the day he dies!"
"That's right!"
"Lord Li! You have to control him!"
Hearing the anger of his people, Lord Li walks over to Nezha in Lady Yin's arms. He looks down at his son before seeing something he had in his hand. Clunched together, a green like gell on his hands being clunched together
Feeling the jell, he looks over at his wife and nods
"Everyone. We see what Nezha has done and we won't let this happen again--"
"You always say that! But each and every time he manage to escape and beat us up as if we're toys!" Another villager protest
Lord Li and Lady Yin tries to calm down the chaos. Finally until the sun was gone, the arguments and bickering where finished as everyone went to their own homes and rest
Lord Li and Lady Yin take their son inside the palace, putting him inside his room once again as the guardian lock him up again
Ask for Taiyi and Annya. Lord Li ordered for Annya to get a room and be healed up, immediately
Annya, her bruises being covered by bandages as putting an ice pack I'm her head. She finally sleeps as her breathing was now more calmer
"Today was a disaster..an utter disaster!" Taiyi said, walking back and forth
Lady Yin holding onto Annya hand as she prayed to the heavens she'll be okay
"Don't worry Lady Yin, the slug will heal her up till morning. But, we must do something about Nezha and fast.."
"I..we...can we all please rest? It's...its been a long day" Lady Yin ask
Nodding, everyone agrees to rest up for tonight and think of a way to help both the villagers and Nezha
Putting off the lights, as the guards were on duty. Making sure to be everywhere and arouns the palace and the town. Making sure no sign of Nezha was near
Ask for the young prince, he sat on his bed. The lights were off as the only thing lighting up was the moon itself
He couldn't sleep. He couldn't rest. Heck, he couldn't stop thinking
He can't face Annya after that. He just..cant
He hurt her in a way he never intended to happen
'I...i...i-i didn't mean to hurt her! I..i swear! Those idiots ruined everything! After I just save one of their own, what do they do in return? Call me names, lying, attacking me. Let alone, hurt Annya.'
He was so angry at the villagers, he didn't stop to think but to think how much he was hurt others. How he hurt the people he cared about. How much he hurt the one person he lo--
He stops.
...no....no...stop..!
I-i can't...n-no!
I cant...she cant...she dosent...
No....no...no...!
STOP IT!
He punched through the bed, breaking it in a hole and onto the ground creating another hole
"Everything okay in there..?"
"What are you doing??" One of the guards yell at the other
"What?? I'm only asking if the young prince is okay"
"Yeah but if he isn't, just leave him alone!"
"Argh! Alright fine fine!"
Both the guards argue but Nezha didn't care less.
All he ever had in mind was what he was feeling, what he was thinking..
Why is he feeling this sort of way..?
