Hello ^^
Well, I know it took a long time, but I just don't have time to do anything on my FFs at the moment. That's why I'm very proud of myself that I made it ^^
Now I wish you a lot of fun with:
Tears in time 4
PS: I would have thought of a Kapi title this time ... but that would look strange if after all the tears in the time a real title came anyway ^^
Enough talked about ... let's go ^^

If you fixed your gaze in one direction you could see a rider in the distance riding at high speed through the forest. With one hand he held the reins of his horse, with the other he supported the body of a girl. He rode all day and didn't slow down until late in the evening, when the sun had long since given its place to the moon. At some point it finally stopped. He got off his horse carefully, being careful not to let the girl fall.Then he lifted her down too and carried the sleeping beauty to one of the nearby trees. There he carefully leaned it against the trunk. Then he started looking for wood and started a fire nearby. It blazed and cracked as the flames greedily licked the wood. After a while it was big enough that it wouldn't go out with the first breath of wind and the rider went back to the girl. He knelt down next to her and looked at her beautiful face. Carefully he brushed a few tears of hair from her face, which had made themselves independent. Then he removed his cloak from his shoulders and spread it around the girl so that she wouldn't have to freeze that night. He sat down by the fire again and watched over her until his eyes too many.
The next morning he carried the still sleeping girl on his horse and they rode on towards the sun.

As the ride progressed, Akane began to wake up.It shook constantly and she felt like she was pressed against something warm. Slowly and carefully she opened her eyes and looked straight into bright green eyes that peeked out from under a hood. Suddenly it stopped shaking. With a startled look to the left and right, Akane noticed that she was sitting on a horse, in the arms of a rider who was unknown to her.
"Do not be afraid"
suddenly a voice came out from under the hood. The rider stroked it from his head with one hand. Beneath it came the face of a handsome young man who gave Akane a friendly smile.
"My name is Kardys"
"A-Akane"
Akane imagined, still a little intimidated.
"A beautiful name for an even more beautiful, enchanting creature."
Akane flushed a little at his words. (a little? Ha ^^) While she was trying to get her blush under control, the horse began to lead its way again.They rode on in silence.

The day slowly began to draw in towards the evening and it was getting dark. Kardys stopped his horse near a small clearing and dismounted.
"We'll have to spend the night here."
When he saw that Akane was also about to get down, he carefully held her arm.
"Wait, I'll help you."
He carefully lifted her off the horse and placed her gently on the ground. He tied his horse and took her hand.
"Coming"
With these words he went with her to one of the trees in the clearing. There he spread his cloak on the floor and gestured for her to let herself down. After he was sure that she was sitting comfortably, he started gathering wood and started a nice fire near her. Then he sat down next to her by the fire.

Akane eyed him carefully. He had brown hair, slightly tousled from the ride, and a handsome face. She especially liked his deep green eyes. He wore riding clothes, a brown shirt, brown trousers, and brown boots.He had a sword attached to his belt. She had only known about this for a few minutes. By the time he had taken off his cloak so she didn't have to sit on the floor, she hadn't suspected anything about the weapon. She continued to look at him for a while. Meanwhile, Kardys had taken bread, cheese and meat from a bag the horse was carrying. The meat, he roasted over the fire with the help of a stick. When the meat appeared to be done, he handed it to her and also gave her a piece of bread and some cheese. She accepted it with thanks and they both ate.
When they'd finished for a while, Akane began to break the silence.
"Who-who are you anyway? ..... I know your name but I don't really know anything about you ... where are you from?"
She was very reluctant to ask these questions, as she was actually rather shy of strangers. (well, no idea if dat is correct ..... but that's the way it is here ^^)
"Sorry, I didn't introduce myself properly to you.I shouldn't have behaved like that to you. Like I said, my name is Kardys, Kardys deMordrey. I am ruler of the Kingdom of Elysian. My advisors claim that I am 20 years old, far too young to rule a country. " He laughed.
"You-you are king ... but then why are you here ...?" Akane was completely perplexed, she could hardly believe it.
// A king? ..... Where did I end up here? .... first this monster and now that ..... // He began to talk into her confused thoughts.
"In my country there is a prophecy about me. It says that something would happen now that would decide my fate, the fate of the whole country. And so I went to find this ... this miracle. But what I did You thought you were. I was so captivated by your beauty and just couldn't tear myself away. I struggled with myself, but I just couldn't leave you alone and so I followed you. When I saw what the villagers were up to you , I knew it was good not to let you down ""You ... thank you for saving me." // Ranma would have probably just made fun of me that I put myself in such a situation again ..... Ranma ... //
Her thoughts of Ranma made her sad. These feelings were also noticeable in their facial expressions. When Kardys saw that her eyes took on a sad glow, he moved closer to her and gently stroked her left cheek.
"You don't need to fear any more. I will never again allow someone to harm you."
Akane looked up and looked at him. A small smile appeared on her mouth. But this stood in contradiction to the tears in her eyes. This contrast made her face beautiful. Kardys gently stroked her cheek and gently ran his fingers over her mouth.
"You are so beautiful."
His face came closer and closer to hers. When it was only a few millimeters away from hers, suddenly there was a crack in the bushes. Kardys stopped moving.He got up quietly and drew his sword from the edge.
"Wait here and don't be afraid. I'll be back soon."
He whispered these words to her before disappearing into the bushes. He crept quietly through the bushes and trees, careful not to give himself away with his movements. After a few minutes he had found the source of the noise. When he saw movement in front of him, he hit it. Several times his sword slipped through bodies, which then fell lifeless to the ground. After a few seconds there were four bodies around him. He took a closer look at her.
//.....Bandits ... nothing more than crooks and villains ..... //
When he had made sure that no one else was around, he took a rag out of his shirt and wiped the blood from the edge of his sword.
Suddenly he heard a high-pitched scream that seemed to come from the clearing. Startled, he turned in his direction.
//...Lady Akane ... there must be one of the villains left ..... // He quickly ran back in their direction.But when he got there he was presented with a gruesome sight .....

Sodele, that's it again ^^ If you think again that the end is nasty, that's also correct ... I have to keep you going somehow ^^
Well ... who do you think Akane will be dating? With Ranma or with Kardys? Who knows ... the end is still open ^^
If you are really good, it might turn out in your favor ... ^^ * devilish grin *
PS: The name Kardys is only borrowed from drache1047 by the way ^^ Kardys is actually a character from one of her role-playing games, but she allowed me to use it * drache umknuddel *
