I could feel a surge of a fire tribe's magical power inside me. It's what woke me up. What happened? Closing my eyes, I tried to remember. I remember someone was calling my name, desperately, telling me to wake up and open my eyes. That person was also crying. My heart painfully clenched at that.

Yan Da? That's right! She saved me again. Where is she? Is she alright? Worry filled my heart. I got up and started to look around, not noticing that someone had entered the room.

"I see that you're awake and well." The person said, a member of the bear tribe. "You've been unconscious for three days and nights."

Three days and nights!? I was unconscious for that long!?

"Y-yan Da, I mean, where's the princess?" I asked him.

"You want to see her? Follow me." He then directed me out of the room.

It's been days. I've been locked up by the bear tribe for 3 days and 3 nights. I guess that's to be expected. I'm their enemy after all. I just hope they're taking care of him – Yun Fei.

I wish I could see him.

Hearing footsteps coming near, I closed my eyes. I don't want to deal with anyon-

"Princess?" Hearing Yun Fei's voice, my eyes snapped open.

"Yun Fei!" I said happily, I stood up and walked closer to him. "Are you alright?"

He's frowning. I wonder why?

"I'm fine." He said still frowning. "But you don't look too well."

He's worried. I smiled. Honestly, I feel weak but seeing him makes me feel better. "Nonsense. I've just exhausted a bit of my soul. I'll be fine after getting some rest. Otherwise, how could those stinky bears manage to catch me?"

His brows furrowed deeper. Aiyah. Is he angry or confuse why I did that to save him?

"Princess, I'm just but a slave. You didn't need to exhaust your soul just to save me." He said voice laced with confusion. Ah. So he's confuse.

"Nonsense. As I've said before you're no slave of mine. Besides, if you were just a slave to me, why would you risk your life just to save me from marrying Hei Feng?" I shyly asked him.

Yan Da doesn't look too well. What did they do to her?

"Princess." I said, trying to see if she'll respond. Her eyes snapped open as if she was surprised to see it's me. She immediately smiled when she saw that it was really me. "Yun Fei!" I saw her braced herself a bit before she was able to stand up and walk closer to me.

I frowned at that. "Are you alright?" She asked me like she's doing just fine.

"I'm fine." I forced out. Subtly, checking if she has any injuries. I feel a bit angry and worried. She looks pale and about to pass out. "But you don't look too well."

"Nonsense. I've just exhausted a bit of my soul. I'll be fine after getting some rest. Otherwise, how could those stinky bears manage to catch me?" She said, still smiling happily.

This Princess really. Why does she do things like these? Why is she so happy just by seeing me? So confusing me. I could feel my brows furrowed deeper. "Princess, I'm just but a slave. You didn't need to exhaust your soul just to save me."

"Nonsense. As I've said before you're no slave of mine. Besides, if you were just a slave to me, why would you risk your life just to save me from marrying Hei Feng?" She shyly asked me.

I averted my gaze when she asked that. Honestly, I don't know the real reason too. I just felt irritated and angry when I saw Hei Feng with her. Thinking quickly, I answered. "You said it yourself. If I could make you happy by preventing your marriage, you'll give me the antidote for the Heart Scorcher."

She looks disappointed. "You... How can humans be so insensitive!? Hmp. Forget it." She said, turning her back on me. "Even my father and brother are willing to sacrifice me." Facing me again, she continued. "Yun Fei, do you know you're now the only friend I left in this world?

Hearing her say that, I felt guilt stabbing my heart because I know that sooner or later I have to leave her. Her eyes were full of honesty and sincerity. "Princess, I owe you my life. I will surely repay your kindness one day."

Hearing him say that, I couldn't help but laugh. He's so arrogant but I like that about him. "Really, should a mortal sound so arrogant? How are you going to repay me? How?" I asked him, teasingly. I'm really going to miss him.

"You will know when the time comes." He said confidently.

"Come here." I said, urging him to come closer. He looked hesitant. He was probably thinking about the past times I did this and all he got into was trouble.

"Aiyah, come closer." He still looked wary but he did come closer. I quickly raise my hand as if I was about to hit him in the face. He closed his eyes and put up his hand to block it. I laughed, hitting my real target - his stomach. Pulling him closer, I removed the Heart Scorcher that's in him.

He looked surprised. Letting him go, I said. "Yun Fei, you are now free. You can go where ever you want." I felt like crying while saying this. I probably won't see him again. But this is the right thing to do. He couldn't stay here with me. That'll not do him any good. Who knows what the bear tribe's plan with me? I turned my back at him. Going back to my position before, I closed my eyes, not strong enough to see him leave. I could still hear him though. I could hear him leave. My heart broke.

__________________________________________________________________

One step. Two steps. Then three steps. And Yun Fei was out of the hut where the bear tribe was keeping Yan Da. His mind's in chaos. Saving Yan Da meant using his powers. Thus, revealing his identity. However, if he doesn't help her she could be in danger. The Bear tribe sees her as the enemy. Standing still, he made his decision. I don't want her to hate me but at least she'll be safe. He then knocked out the guards. Hoping that Yan Da, no matter what'll happen, would still be able to forgive him.
