For such a detail Cedric smiled and hurried his pace with quick and precise blows, until fighting with swords where both were hurt. When I saw him hurt my body instinctively ran towards him, while the other dragons just watched, I didn't know how but I crossed the barrier and I put myself in front of Cedric and while I looked at that beautiful black-winged angel I shouted
Me: THIS FIGHT IS OVER.
While Cedric tried to get up and when he saw my gesture he preferred to be quiet, the dragon that was now an angel just came down and while his back was to me he destroyed the barrier and then went to where the light dragon was; I hugged Cedric and smiled a little, he didn't say anything, he just watched as I healed his wounds and helped him to get up, after he got up I thought he would scold me but he hugged me as tight as years ago and kissed my forehead while he said in a soft tone
Cedric: thank you my Zafi.
After those beautiful words our rings shined and became a little clearer, he took my hand and removed the ring from my middle finger and put it on my ring finger, after that he put our rings together while on our other ring fingers appeared other rings, one with the drawing of the sun and the other with the moon, I had the sun and he had the moon.
The ring was beautiful because it was silvery white, the edges of the sun was a soft gold with a beautiful Sapphire stone but yellow, Cedric's was a soft gold and the Moon was silver with a white Sapphire stone, which made me blush when Cedric said
Cedric: they are Sapphires.
After such a fight we all 4 went back to the castle dining room and then they introduced themselves, the Light Dragon was called Sounion and the Dark Dragon was called Cyrene, their names were beautiful to me so I decided we should introduce ourselves and said
Me: it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Sapphire and he is Cedric.
While they both look at us Cirene says: we already knew your names -after a long pause she continues- I don't understand them, why were they so complicated.
I sensed that she was referring to our feelings and wanting to be polite I said: I think we can talk about that later, she considered that the important thing now is to go to Neptune's world... I don't want to be rude but we have lost some time.
We decided to leave the dining room and tell Kath and Dante that we had to go to Neptune, when I met Kath I saw how she had a beautiful dragon on her shoulder, when I saw her I smiled and made a slight bow, Kath said
Kath: she comments to me that she finds it strange that even a human remembers old manners.
I smiled and replied: I consider it more respect than manners... my girl it is time to go to the mermaid world.
She nods and says: we are more than ready.
I smiled and went quickly to the room to change into something lighter and check if the daggers were still sharp.
