so furious that I didn't even notice how hard I had pressed my fingernails into the balls of my hands. It wasn't until the first drops of blood fell to the floor that I noticed the incredible tension in my body. Angry, I looked away from Piccolo and turned away. I let myself go! It was always so important to me to hide my feelings. No matter if anger or sadness!

I was just about to fly back to Yin on the platform when ...

"The aura you exuded earlier was really impressive!"

Confused, I stopped in midair. This guy took the wind out of my sails. I just couldn't figure him out. Why didn't he pimp back now instead of talking stuff like that?

I looked at him over my shoulder with blank eyes.

"Thanks for the compliment ... Oh, sorry! You must have been uncomfortable that I thanked you!" I mocked with a cool undertone.My anger was still not gone!

From the great Namek's face, I noticed that what I said surprised him very much. Although I didn't want to, I had to grin at that utterly perplexed expression. I quickly turned away from Piccolo again, but couldn't prevent him from seeing the corners of my mouth twitch. And suddenly he put his right hand on my shoulder. I felt the warm pressure of his fingers penetrate the fabric of my clothes.





(Yin)

I spent the next ten minutes alone on the platform near the palace. I had found a nice spot and sat down against the snow-white wall. From there I looked at the flowers that were blooming so wonderfully here and breathed in their scent - I even forgot for a brief moment what was in store for us.

Actually, I didn't even want to think about it. The idea of ​​what could (and certainly would) go wrong, I was convinced of that!) was just terrifying! These people just wanted to risk their lives in a fight where they didn't have the slightest chance ...

I narrowed my eyes briefly to calm down again. Maybe Piccolo was right. Maybe I should really see what I could do and then help instead of trying to talk them out of it, because if we really fled again, Aguar would one day find us one day, what difference did it make, where and when it made was? So I wouldn't go down without a fight, that was something ...

But the thought of fighting made my stomach turn. I felt the fear creeping up inside me and reaching for me with her cold fingers. My throat was constricting and I had to sit down straight and take a deep breath so as not to panic completely!

Because ... I couldn't. I just couldn't fight, it wasn't possible! I "mastered" an elemental spell, but this was the problem, and that was what worried me so much!I damned myself had sworn never to do magic again unless it was absolutely necessary!

Fear rose again in me and I threatened to panic again.

I saw the fire in my mind's eye as it blazed and its hot flames licked all around me. The crackling as it set everything on fire, the shimmering air and that smell - yes, the smell and the noises were actually the worst part!

I quickly inhaled sharply and swallowed again. I tugged at my fingers, barely registering any of them bleeding until I felt something damp. I quickly pressed a finger of the other hand on the small wound and wiped my forehead with the back of my hand.

"Come on, Yin, now pull yourself together!" I said to myself, but my voice was little more than a low whisper. Then I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down somehow ...
And there I sat now, just paying attention to my breathing. I had my back pressed against the wall and tried not to think about anything. It was really hard, but I succeeded.

When I opened my eyes again after a while (I didn't know how long I'd been sitting there), I vowed to myself never to let myself go the way I did before. Under no circumstances should that happen to me again!

Suddenly I winced when I heard a voice! My head flew up and I stared up in horror!

"June! What? I didn't understand you," I said, trying hard to keep the slight tremor that still resonated in my voice.

My best friend smiled briefly, then sat down on the wall at a distance from me and looked down.

"I just said that I'll be back ... I'm sorry if I scared you!" She said. I ran a hand through my hair and shook my head."No, it's okay. I was just in thought. Did Piccolo find you?"

June didn't answer right away, then a light seemed to dawn and she grinned. “Yes, he did.” “And what about the material? Is everything still there?” I asked nervously, while my eyes searched the platform in front of me. It was strange, but I didn't see anyone. And besides, I hadn't seen anyone arrive either. Was I really that distracted? At least no one had seen me - at least I hoped ...

"Yes, everything is still there! I brought it with me. It's in front." June looked at the flowers in front of her and smiled slightly. "They are really nice," she said finally and I agreed with her.

We were silent for a short time and just sat there before she started talking again: “How strong are you really?” At first I looked at her questioningly, but then I understood what she meant, despite the jump in thought. "Son Goku and Son Gohan? Ask me something easier ... I have no idea."

"What can you do?" June wanted to know, but I just shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know either. They can fly - and also sense auras. But otherwise ... their fighting power is pretty high, but you know that that's not the decisive point. They aren't magicians." June nodded. I looked at her to read what she didn't say on her face, but her gaze was still fixed on the flower bed.

"Oh yes, by the way, they are not from here at all. From Earth, I mean. Popo said they are Sayja ... Sayajins? Somehow something like that. So they come from another planet!"

June was silent. Somehow she looked scared, her face had hardened a bit, as I could see from the side and I wondered what might be the reason for this.

"Sayajins? Have you heard of that before?" She finally asked without looking at me. "No," I replied, looking at the platform again."And that's all?" She asked. "Hm. I don't know more either. Except that you have a very good appetite ... They are huge goblets." At this thought I had to smile. I didn't know why myself, after all, these eating machines were the ones we should put our hopes on, but somehow the thought amused me. It was just too stupid ...

I still felt a bit uncomfortable and the image of this fire kept coming back - but not as intense as before. Still, I had to pull myself together not to squint to get rid of it.

"I just don't understand Dende and Piccolo. How can they have so much trust in these two? And in Vegeta too. How can they be so sure that they can deal with opponents they have never met before? Aguar and the others are not to be underestimated ... "I sighed again as I thought back to the conversation from earlier."Piccolo even snapped at me. I'd rather help instead of just spreading unrest. He doesn't have them all anymore either!"

I expected June to laugh, or at least agree with me, but she didn't. Without warning, she suddenly got up and took a few steps forward. In slow motion she turned to me and looked into my eyes - and I into hers!

I blinked up at her and got up too. My heart started racing and I thought it was going to pop out of my chest at any moment as she took a step towards me.

"June?" I asked quietly, but she didn't respond. Then suddenly a grin spread across her face - but it wasn't a friendly grin! It was more of a grimace out of malice that had only taken this shape by chance and I stumbled a few steps backwards! I wanted to scream when I suddenly noticed her eyes, which she had been trying to hide from me the whole time by hiding her eyes in the flowerbed !!!You were dead!

June's eyes - or should I say those of the element mage, were the color of a dull gray!



Aha, aha ... What else can it be? (Our aguar is really sneaky!)
