Dragonheart Part 31
#3 of Dragonheart Part 29-58
Three weeks had passed since Surasshu again assumed his old hair style and "personality". During these weeks, he completed together with various clan members missions to learn about them and other people learn. When he returned one evening with a mission he ran from Rieder and Hiita Natsu, who also came from a mission on the way. They were caught in a light entertainment, from the Rieder is logged off.
"I'm going back to my tower.", He said. As Rieder almost every day spent in this tower he saw him as "his" tower, since no one but himself entered it. As he walked through the door, he climbed up the stone stairs, went along on the Wall, into the tower and went upstairs. There he sat down at his regular place on the wall, looked out the window, listening to the sounds of the sea and fell asleep while a slowly.
In the common room sat the other three for a while and talked about their missions. Hiita and Natsu were on an errand, nothing special way, and Rieder on a Surasshu Eskortmission. "How Rieder really so?" Asked Natsu Surasshu. "Well, how should I say, Rieder's pretty quiet. Throughout the mission, he said maybe something, otherwise it was pretty quiet.
Even when someone told a joke, in which we all laughed, he was the only one not laughing. "Surasshu said calmly. "I've heard Rieder say never. What's wrong with that? "Hiita asked slightly cheeky, while Natsu remained silent. "I mean, he sits alone all day in this tower, reading, looking out the window and that's it!"
The two boys looked at her in amazement. Had she anything against Rieder? It was true, he did not participate as intensively with the other clan members, such as Shadow or Lyra, who were always up for a joke. Or Raio that there was always talk to when all other degrees were employed. Who is always a talkative, playful, was demonstrated, although one could not believe it Rockwell.
When he's not the whole day was occupied with his dragon Nari he liked to play with cards that came with the purchase on the market or helping a situation where one grew on his head, as if Hiita Natsu and again because of some militated bite again. Especially in these situations, he proved to be very practical, since it brought them within a few Sekuden ausseinander.
But Rieder was quite differently: alone, isolated from the others, he is sitting in that tower and seems to enjoy it. As they retreated to their rooms, Natsu was still lying on his bed and thought about Rieder. He could and did believe Hiitas, which he had often heard about Rieder not connect. "Maybe you should talk with him just once." He thought to himself, turned on its side and fell asleep.
The next morning all were between nine and ten clock in the morning and went into the common room where breakfast Bertram havoc already. Natsu strolled barefoot on the table, sat down and put on a pair of cake deposit on the plate. Then he poked around a bit with a fork on them before they ate slowly.
Surasshu sat next to Luso as every morning, where they talked a little about the current situation.
The other sat next to someone and talking with their neighbors either, comparison or across the whole table. It was Bertram, who also sat at the table that Rieder was not there. Slightly depressed, he looked at his plate and ate weiter.Ebenso Natsu was the absence Rieders auf.Zwar he came in the last few weeks a few times down to dinner, but since a few days was no longer the case.
So he decided to bring him his food. He took a second bowl, grabbed a couple of cake deposit on it and went out to the tower. Passing Nari, which was still sleeping, he walked through the doorway of the tower went hinauf.Oben arrived he saw Rieder looked out the window. But when he perceived the smell of pancakes Natsus direction he looked in and asked him what he wanted.
"You came not for breakfast, because what I thought, I'll take you just over that." He answered, and put the plate next to him. Natsu then fell on him he's wearing bandages keien more, but a different guise. It was purple, consisted of a shirt, shoulder-length gloves, on the right was the sign of the clan is sewn instead of bracer.
He wore a brown belt, one more purple pants, knee-high stockings and brown Tabis, about the same as Bertram wore them recently. What was particularly noticed that his face could be seen this time and was completely wrapped up not as strong as the last outfit. His brown hair was seen, while his eyes, dyed a faint red in beheld.
"Why do you have now instead of your tires?" Natsu asked curiously and sat down beside him. Rieder looked at him and answered: "The bandages have limited my movements too much. That is why I wear it now here. "Natsu just nodded and then began to question him a little. Unfortunately, Rieder was not as talkative as flat and barely answered, apparently he wanted to be alone.
Therefore, standing on Natsu then walked through the door, but then said: "We now go to the beach. If you feel like you can come too. "Rieder just nodded instead of something to say and looked at Natsu still to go before he opened his book again and read on. Then he looked at the plate with the Pfandkuchen.Sie were still warm. He took one look at him and said. "Thank you, Natsu"
Noon when the sun shone most brightly, almost all except Lyra, Shiba, and Wynn, who had set out on a mission on the beach, as Rieder still sitting in the tower and watched from there. While Natsu had invited him, but he did not want to go out. Suddenly he heard someone running up the tower came up.
He looked back out the door and was shocked, it was Natsu, who had come to him again. He was wearing a bathing suit and was also a bit wet, you could see the water running down significantly in him. "Will you come finally to the beach?" He asked, slightly annoyed. Rieder looked at him skeptically and said that he would not as the beach. "Now come on!
You can also read on the beach doofes your book! "He moaned, grabbed his arm and dragged him. He did not care that he could easily Rieder could break his arm, he just wanted to get outside! Rieder Natsus looked into his eyes, saw that he was reading not change his mind and read without resistance with the book in his hand tugging on the beach.
Arriving at the beach all looked not bad, as Natsu returned with Rieder. ....", "Rieder, what are you doing Aussa wanted to ask him, but he sat down in the sand, worked on his book and continued reading. Natsu just sighed, shook his head, but very glad to have Rieder least brought outside, now he could spend with the other part of the afternoon.
"Hey, Natsu! Come into the water we want to play water polo! "Eria said to him, holding a ball in his hand. "Incoming!" He shouted at her and ran into the water. Before they started the game Shadow asked him why he brought here Rieder. "He should also grab some fresh air. All day in this ollen tower is still too boring you? "He replied.
Shadow nodded, just as the game began. In the end, won the team of Eria. Then all went out of the water and lay down in the beach. Natsu sat next Rieder and leaned back. "Man, that was a game.", He said it with a laugh. Rieder looked at him, then again in his book. Then put a question Natsu Rieder, with whom he had not gerechtnet: "Would you like to maybe go with me on a mission? The last mission with Hiita was too boring and there you were always kind to date on exciting missions thought I could, I come again. "
He closed his book, looked at him and asked him if he just meant it. "Sure, I mean this seriously what do you think? For weeks I had to do something more exciting and not because you're always so exciting things I'd like to come along. May I? "He replied and looked at him with a begging look easy. Rieder sighed briefly and then said simply: "Why not? But, I seek out the mission. "
Natsu happily embraced him and thanked for it to come with him. Rieder looked puzzled at him, noticed his clothes were wet slowly and then asked him to go away again. "I already have a mission where I needed help. And since you're just right. Did you maybe want to catch a thief? "Nodding Natsu agreed to his proposal and hugged him again.
Then he went back into the water and a little Schwomm. Rieder got up, went back into the fortress zuürck to sleep. But before he went to sleep, he hung a note on Natsus room door on the stand: "Tomorrow morning, nine clock we going to go." He went into the tower, lay on the floor and fell asleep. "Is it true that you go with Rieder on a mission?" Hiita asked surprised as Natsu told her about it.
"Yes I do. Jealous? "He asked. But she only laughed and shook his head. "To no money in the world I would go with this gray mouse on any mission! He's so uptight because you will still mad, "she replied and went into her room. While the others were happy about the fact that Natsu was on a mission, but when they heard that their partners had had a few this time Rieder their concerns that they are not expressed.
But Natsu could imagine what they thought, "Rieder and Natsu on a mission? That can only go wrong. "Depressed, he threw himself into his bed and wondered if this was a good idea. Then he looked out the window. He saw Rieders tower and thought about why he was so isolated from others. He lay on his bed, turned and fell asleep with the thought at Rieder.
The next Natsus there banging on door. He mumbled into his pillow, chewing a little about it. "Five more minutes!", He produced a low voice, but the pounding continued. When he realized that he could not go back to sleep merh he stood up, walked to the door and opened it. Suddenly Rieder before him and stared at the dressed only in boxer shorts Natsu.
"In five minutes you're down at the entrance.", He said and left. With eyes half open and half-sleeping are still in need Natsu a moment before he realized what he wanted Rieder: he wanted with him on a mission! He immediately closed the door, dressed quickly and ran down. To pack up was no more time, because Rieder was just going to go.
Just in time, he caught up with him and went off with him. On the way to its final Natsu asked to make on who they are. "A panther names Chira to drive here as a thief to mischief. He should not work alone, tucked away in the woods where nobody will find him. I find personally interesting to live this way: alone in the forest, of what nature and give the people passing by one. Has something. "Rieder told with a light of admiration in his voice.
Natsu looked at him skeptically as he can so admirable a person only? "I could not live in the forest." He said as he looked around. Rieder looked at him, wondering why he was able to live on a burning mountain, and then shook his head. He also wondered why he running around in such remarkable clothes: black sandals, a red T-shirt with black flames drawings and an orange-yellow bathing suit, also with a flame pattern. Rieder, however, wore his purple ninja suit in which he felt quite normal.
Then it was dunkel.Natsu Rieder and built a camp for the night, Rieder collected some wood, then using that Natsu lit his fire magic. Then she sat and warmed himself at the fire. Natsu tried a little later, Rieder tell a few jokes. But no matter how funny they looked, seemed Rieder at him and pulled it in the smallest bisschein not the face.
"Somehow you have to laugh but to bring him to." Thought he was angry and tried everything possible: from the cut faces up to the crazy tanzen.Doch except one gelentlichen raise the eyebrows Rieder responded darauf.Genervt not really sat down again Natsu the fire and asked him why he could not even smile at least briefly.
"Why should I smile like that?" He asked ihn.Natsu wrinkled his forehead and said: "Maybe because it's funny?" With an angry face, he looked at Rieder, who then lay down to sleep. "He's probably nervous." Natsu bleated and went to sleep then, too.
Natsu woke the next morning, got up, stretched and yawned extensively with this wide-open mouth. Then he wanted Rieder a good morning when he saw that he was not there. Startled, he jumped up and looked around but could see nothing because of the fog. "Rieder?" He asked aloud. "Up here." Someone answered from above. Natsu looked up and was amazed when he saw Rieder on a nearly fifty-foot tall oak tree.
"What are you doing up there?" He asked. Rieder looked down at him and replied that he could look better from here in the forest. "I want to believe again." Natsu said, sighing. Then came Rieder jumped and ran. "I got it." He said before he disappeared into the thicket. Natsu understand him at first, but then he ran after him.
Loud scream was heard from the forest, that a woman's scream. "Help, I'm being robbed!" She screamed as she by a panther in a red muscle shirt that barely covered his chest, fall on a red sweat pants and a burgundy scarf. He was smoking a cigarette while he with a knife in his hand threatening.
"Now stop crying around here so, you goat," he grumbled as he only put her stuff into his pockets. "That sounds now on at once!" Someone shouted. The panther looked around as a ninja before him and another boy stood. He smiled and asked, "What are ye for as figures of fun? Did you go? "Natsu took a step forward and showed his arm splint. "We are the Clan Dragon Heart and here to arrest you!" Natsu said torch with Santander already own. The Panthers turned to the woman while the two of them ran away.
"You have no manners or? Had you can not wait until I at least would have excluded them completely? Now I have only half their stuff. "He complained to the two full charge. Sparked angry over the issue is also now in the other fist Natsu from the fire. "You have even the audacity to ask us to wait until you've robbed them completely? Are you crazy or what's wrong with you? "Natsu asked angrily.
The Panther grinned. "Well I will not even be the case. My name is way Chira, Chira Raliél, I am glad to know you. "The two looked at Chira only made ??themselves ready to fight, not at all like what he saw. "I hate fighting, but if you want it so happy." He said, eyes rolling. And even though he knew the two would attack him like he did nothing. Rieder first looked around and wondered where he could attack at best, but Natsu simply dashed out at him.
Natsu ran up to the thief sought Raliél Chira, was about to strike him when he skillfully dodged. His fist hissed past him while he was left smiling after. With the flat of his hand he wanted to strike, but Rieder this prevented by the use of one of his ninja techniques. His arm was tied by a rope, which is after Natsu was safe again disappeared. He immediately went to the Panthers, who ducked, but immediately. His feet flew just inches over his head along, as he rolled away and jumped back.
"Was that all?" He asked, laughing. Rieder ran to him and made ??it a new finger signs. "Earth loop." The earth shot up, Chira enveloped in a cloud of dust, while his legs up to the knees covered with earth were. "What?" He asked as Rieders fist barreling toward him. This he did with his fist and then delivered a violent fistfight with Rieder.
It had to plug in both Rieder and Chira lot of hits before he was able to free himself again from his Erdfesseln. He was Rieder's knee, whereupon he collapsed. When he still wanted to strike with the elbow suddenly shot a fireball at him. He watched the ball felt his heat and was always more then just smiled.
With bare hands he held the ball struck against them, and they thus destroyed. The hot spark which then flew surprised Natsu. How could he stop one of his strongest attacks with his bare hands? That was impossible! Chira suddenly stood before him and struck him with his fist in the face. By the force of the blow was a little thrown off Natsu, but could still stand.
What remained was a red spot on his cheek, which was for some reason as hot as its flames. "How did you do that? How have you delayed my fireball? "He asked angrily." I am a fire manipulator. I can fire everything from messing is directed against me. "He answered calmly and wiped it off the hand of his clothing.
But Natsu is sure to impress them and not immediately set a new fire attack, this time even more than the previous one. But the flames have not even managed up to him, but were simply redirected. Rieder hid behind a tree and lay down a new strategy. Natsu and since last attack he could make no accurate calculation of the steps Chiras.
So he decided to attack him easily. He immediately made ??the sign of the fire curtain, and the flames enveloped him, Rieder said to Natsu, he should attack him now because it would hide the flames. "Okay." Natsu said, preparing his flame breath before. When he blows on them then Chira, this only stretches the arm out of the flames and diverts it back to Natsu.
The flames make a bow and flew to Natsu zu.In last moment he manages to stop the flames and they gather around him. Natsu looked surprised at Rieder. "What are you doing?" He asked suddenly when his fire dragon, his strongest technique was demonstrated. "If I can not do it with simple spells, then I access funds harder," shouted Natsu and the Dragon lies on him.
The huge flame of the dragon burned the part of the forest in which they found themselves completely. He sped toward Chira, he was still trapped in the veil. Then the fire broke however, and he looked like a huge flaming dragon flew at him. "I'm not laughing.", He said only, and stretched out his hand. "Obey me!"
The dragon obeyed at first, but then he moved to command the direction Chiras: namely back to Natsu. Natsu festgwurzelt on the ground could move an inch longer than he was devoured by his own quasi flame. "Explode." Chira told of the flame. This still shone then and then exploded.
"Tsunami veil," shouted Rieder sign with his finger and was shortly before the flames reached him protected by a massive, pillar-shaped water tower. Seconds later broke up the water and Rieder looked around. The flames had destroyed almost the entire forest, everything was burning and he was in the midst of these flames.
"Fire Fire ..... ..... fire." He muttered as he screaming in his head could hear from someone. He looked around again found himself in a burning house. Everywhere people were running around, burning people. Among them was a small boy who was desperately looking for his parents. He only heard "Mama, Papa," the other cries rang vague.
Then he took her, his parents. But they shouted at him: "Run out of the house! Run, Rieder, run, "shouted his father with her ??last strength. And, he did not know why he did it then also weeping, he ran from the house shortly before it collapsed and he went up flames. He fell to his knees, the tears ran down his face. "They died in the fire." He said quietly.
Fire was everywhere around him, he felt like at that time, small and weak, unable to help his parents. Suddenly he heard a grievous groan. He looked ahead and saw that Natsu was burnt with the upper body to the earth. He immediately ran to him and lifted him up. He looked at his grief-stricken face and felt the feeling of guilt was broadly in him.
He was to blame for this fire, because he had to remember these things from back then and the fact that Natsu was seriously injured in his arms. Barely breathing Natsu then brought forth Rieders name before he was getting weaker then. "Natsu Natsu .... NATSU" shouted as he shook Rieder Natsu.
