"We both do it has been more mentally taxing than anything else," Natalie said falling back with an oomph. "I much prefer the simplicity of battle than all this other stuff." Grey chuckled and tossed a sack onto her.
"Ruling a kingdom takes more then brawn. Your mind has to handle things like this as queen of a nation. Now don't get comfortable, just because we had a bit of a problem. We still need to march." Grey walked over to her, standing as upright as he could as Guilmon. "Here. Dinner." He handed her a loaf of bread. "Get the stuff together you want me to carry...for my so called punishment."
--
"Not a chance," Theos said moving closer nuzzling his head to hide his tears. He lay at his head curling around him slightly. "It's going to be okay Ban. You're so strong I wish I was a bit more like you. You just rest."
"Sleep near to me my son, lay down your little head. Sleep under the star lit sky, and dream your dreams tonight.
Dream a dream were we dance and play. Dream a dream where we spend the day, walking side by side. So lay your head tonight.
Listen to the sound of my heart, it beats in time to yours. Let it be the peace that makes you sleep.
Under this star lit sky. So go to sleep my son, don't worry about the day. Just rest now your weary eyes
and think of me tonight, and I'll be here watching close keeping you safe this night. Even if we part our ways, remember
this star lit night. I'll be in your heart and mind, always by your side. So go to sleep tonight. So go to sleep tonight.
Go to sleep my little precious one," Theos sang softly.
Ban resting against Theos listened to the words he spoke and he smiled feeling relaxed by the song. It was very pretty and he was glad to hear it. His body was starting to shiver even by the fire. He was gradually losing strength, his blood loss had slowed considerably from the cold but he had very little time left. "Theos........am I going away?" Ban suddenly asked.
Meanwhile Kemba was scouring for anything they could eat, his heated breath becoming visible in the frigid cold. "There is nothing! Nothing at all!" Kemba roared. His sorrow took over him and he collapsed on his belly, "Even in this form, I could do nothing." He placed his paws over his eyes,
"Well, that isn't entirely true is it?" A voice called from the darkness. Kemba shot up and looked at a small cloaked figure approaching, "Who are you?" He snarled. "You mean to tell me you don't recognize my voice?" Kemba stopped snarling and his eyes widened. "Th...that's impossible...f..father?" Kemba asked.
The cloaked Spadamon removed the hood showing Kemba his familiar face, "Yes Kemba...it is I, your father." He gave Kemba a friendly smile. "How are you son?"
"You...you're dead...this is another hallucination isn't it? What do you want? I already know I messed up with Theos just before..." His father chuckled, "I'm no a hallucination. I'm real."
His father moved closer to Kemba and touched his larger paw, "To think you would evolve...you're the first of our kind to do so." Kemba backed up after he was touched, shaking his head in disbelief.
"I...I don't understand....how?" His father shook his head, "It is a long story and you lack the time for me to tell it....know that I am here because I heard rumors of a Lord in Coraggio that looked like a Spadamon. I sought you out the moment I found out you were alive....I have been watching from a distance for weeks...unsure of how to approach you."
"S...so it really....really is you...?" His father nodded, "P..papa..." Kemba moved closer and overcome with grief and joy leaned his large head into his father. He wept and his father rubbed his face, "I thought...I was the last one."
"Shh..easy now son...such a strong man like you shouldn't cry. You must remain firm in these hard times." He continued to stroke Kembas face. "Everything...is so wrong....Theos...and Ban....Remmy is dead....our friends are fighting...we're being hunted."
"That is why I have shown myself to you...to help you." Kemba looked to him bringing his head away, "You're coming back to....Coraggio with me? Theos...he'll be thrilled to meet you."
"I am sure...but I cannot reveal myself to your friends yet...not until we talk at length about the last decade. I do have something with me that can save your prince." Kemba looked at his father not understanding his secrecy. His dad pulled out a small vial with a blue scale inside.
"What is that?" Kemba asked, "This is a preserved scale of the might royal knight, UlforceV-dramon. It is extremely rare and worth more money then anyone has...I've been holding on to it for a while." Kemba looked at it's shining and turned his head.

"Ruling a kingdom takes more then brawn. Your mind has to handle things like this as queen of a nation. Now don't get comfortable, just because we had a bit of a problem. We still need to march." She sighed and grabbed the bag as she sat up. "Here. Dinner." Just bread again? She wanted meat. She supposed there was some benefits to being spoiled. "Get the stuff together you want me to carry...for my so called punishment."
Natalie chuckled and got off her bed rolling it up and stuffing it away. The bread hanging in her maw as she did so. Her saliva slowly softening the hardened bread. Flat bread tasted bad but filled ones stomach and lasted a long time for things like this. She was grateful to have food at all at this point.
--
"Theos........am I going away?" Ban suddenly asked.
"Not if I can help it. I told Raja i'd bring her three boys home," Theos said gently cleaning his head with his tongue. The sand tasted awful but the motion was soothing. Was a vow the same as a promise? He wanted to make it a vow but...."I'm here to keep you warm and Kemba is getting food. We got a fire and the night sky is our canopy. Now all we have to do is tend to your wound." Theos sat up moving around to Ban's side. He knew Kemba wouldn't agree to this but he wasn't here now. Theos bit into his leg tears coming into his eyes as he tore a chunk out into his mouth. It left him panting and swallowing back the feeling of pain and passing out. He placed the chunk on Ban and pushed it down a bit with his uninjured hoof. The clay like skin seeping into the wound a bit. He then lay beside Ban draping his tail over him and licking his wounded leg. The metalic taste of his blood coating his tongue.

"Not if I can help it. I told Raja i'd bring her three boys home," Theos said gently cleaning his head with his tongue. The sand tasted awful but the motion was soothing. Was a vow the same as a promise? He wanted to make it a vow but...."I'm here to keep you warm and Kemba is getting food. We got a fire and the night sky is our canopy. Now all we have to do is tend to your wound."
Ban felt the warm tongue of Theos against his head, his body was cold and it was the best feeling right now. He didn't want it to stop, but it did and the next thing he felt was a warm substance. He knew it was Theos, the fur texture was just like his but it was smaller. It too was warm, felt Theos tail over him and Ban was content. "I love you Theos." Ban whispered weakly. He was losing consciousness, it was becoming difficult for young Ban to stay awake. Theos could feel his body shivering still, "I'm...sleepy..."
Meanwhile Kemba looked over the vial, "How does that help?" He asked.
"There is a special power UlforceV-dramon has...it had the power of high speed regeneration in the form of an ancient power called Ulforce, hence its name. This scale has that power, and if applied to the young prince will revitalize him. He will stave off death."
Kemba's face lit up, "Truthfully? That is amazing!" His father smiled and nodded, "Yes, and I'll gladly give it to you my son, but only if you seek me out alone at the end of this war. Then when you know everything, I will meet your loved ones...but not a moment sooner. I am sorry, but I have my reasons for the secrecy."
Kemba took a moment to think about it, how would he explain this magical scale to Theos? Still...this was Ban's life and meeting his father was the easiest price to pay. "I'd have met with you even without the scale." Kemba smiled.
"That's my boy...now take it, and go back. Quickly now, if the prince dies even the scale will be useless. The angel of death cannot be bargained with." Kemba took the vial into his mouth. "How will I meet you?" Kemba asked.
"You will know my son, now go! Save your prince!" Kemba nodded and gave his father an affectionate nudge with his large head. He turned and ran at full speed towards Theos and Ban. Ban just needed to hold on a little longer.

"I'm...sleepy..." Theos wanted to tell him to stay awake. The truth was though he needed rest and he could only fight it for so long.
"It's okay Ban. You need your rest we have a big day tomorrow after all. It's going to be a big fight. Your brothers are going to protect everyone including one another. They still love each other you know; and you definitely know we all love you," Theos said nuzzling his cheek. "We'll be here to take you home to smiling faces and congratulations. You'll be a hero Ban and so will Remmy." It brought tears to his eyes again and he hung his head wanting the pain in his chest to stop.
He wanted a lot of things to stop. He wanted Stall to stop. He wanted his loved ones to stop dying. He wanted the pain and suffering and war to end. Why did the universe hate him so? Why does Yggdrasil hate him?

Ban continued to shiver as his voice trailed off,"I'm...cold...can we cuddle...like we used too?" Ban asked weakly, after a moment he spoke up after closing his eyes. "Will...you be here when....I...wake up....?" Theos could see his data slowly leaving his figure in small streams. "I....can't wait.....to...see....everyone....." His tail's wagging gradually slowed until it came to a full stop. Whether Theos answered Ban or not he would speak again, "Can.....you...sing to me....again?" He said. "I'm...cold...can we cuddle...like we used too?"
Kemba was nearly there, he could see the glow of the campfire. He picked up the pace, he just prayed he'd make it in time.

"I'm...cold...can we cuddle...like we used too?"
"Of course," Theos responded. His body pressing against Bans.
"Will...you be here when....I...wake up....?"
"Yes I will," Theos voice began to crack.
"I....can't wait.....to...see....everyone....." His tail's wagging gradually slowed until it came to a full stop. Whether Theos answered Ban or not he would speak again, "Can.....you...sing to me....again?" He said. "I'm...cold...can we cuddle...like we used too?"
"I'm....right here Ban. I'm right here," Theos said pressing his nose to his cheek lovingly. "Sleep....near to me my son....lay down....your little head.... Sleep under....the star lit sky....and dream.....just dream...." Theos words were broken with sobs tears running down his face to wet the particles of data leaving Ban. He wanted to catch everyone and push them back into Ban. Maybe if he was bigger he could coat him in his clay. Keep in all the particles refusing to let them go.

Kemba's thunderous steps finally could be felt and heard, as he got closer he could see the data coming off of Ban and he gradually slowed. "...No..." Kemba whispered walking around to see the two cuddled tightly together. Ban laid lifeless on Theos, his jaw open and eyes closed, his body had grown completely cold. Holes in his body where his data had left him, "Ban....oh Ban no..." Kemba lowered his head dropping the vial to the floor. Ban's heartbeat was almost thirty seconds in between each beat, Kemba's sensitive ears picked up one of it's final tolls.
He perked his head up and looked over the dead digimon. He wondered if he could still save him as long as his data hadn't entirely dissipated. He had to try, he just had too! Kemba snarled and cracked the vial open with his long saber tooth. The faint glow of the blue scale dimming by the fire. He picked up the scale and placed it in Ban's mouth. He moved his paw and took Ban's dissipating head and made him swallow. He hoped this was how his dad intended this to be used. He never even asked how it worked.
"Please save him....please...." Kemba wept. Ban's corpse had stopped dissipating, but nothing else happened. Kemba didn't know if it worked, Ban's body was still here but he couldn't hear any heart beats and he wasn't breathing. "No...Ban..come back to us." Kemba said. His voice gradually got louder, "Ban...come back! Ban!" He yelled.
"It's supposed to work! The Ulforce was supposed to heal him! Why isn't it working!" Kemba dropped to the ground putting his paws over his face. As Theos remained cuddled with Ban's corpse, he'd suddenly feel his chest pulsate. A breath...he felt Ban take a breath! It was small, nearly unnoticeable but it was definitely him breathing!
Then within a few moments of his breath, Kemba heard a heartbeat. He raised his head, "Ban?" Kemba said. Soon what looked like a show of fireflies against the star lit sky, his data came rushing back to his body. Kemba sat up with a wide smile and tears of joy, he found himself laughing with joy.
Ban's body had been restored, but his eyes remained closed. Suddenly, his tail began to wag, faster and faster. Theos could feel the warmth of his body return and soon, he felt the warmth of Ban's tongue against his cheek in a affectionate kiss. He opened his bright blue eyes with the same innocence and love they always had behind them.
"Dan says....hi." Ban weakly said to Theos and Kemba. His body was still very weak, but he would yet live.

Theos looked to Kemba tears in his eyes and the skin around them puffy. He didn't register the vial only Kemba his look of despair matching Theos own. He looked back to Ban burying his head lightly into his dissipating chest. He could feel it slowly fading away. The skin into the muscle and then the hardness of the bones starting to come through. Theos looked up as he felt Ban move. It wasn't him moving though it was Kemba making him swallow something.
"Please save him....please...." Theos had no idea what Kemba had done. Whatever it was though Theos couldn't help but to silently hope as well. His gaze resting on Ban's cheek bones watching and hoping for a sudden surge of life. "No...Ban..come back to us." Kemba said. His voice gradually got louder, "Ban...come back! Ban!" He yelled.
"It's supposed to work! The Ulforce was supposed to heal him! Why isn't it working!" Theos didn't move. Every part of his body aching as it tried to search for just that one spec of hope. Then it came faint and barely noticeable. At first Theos thought it a figment of his imagination then it happened again. He jumped up suddenly staring into Ban's face.
"Ban?" Theos eyes grew wide as his body began rebuild itself. A faint golden glow to the particles as they returned to his body. Theos was beyond ecstatic as he jumped around his body nuzzling his head lightly only to feel a lick.
"Dan says....hi." Ban weakly said to Theos and Kemba. His body was still very weak, but he would yet live.
Theos heart gave out at those words. His body becoming stock still in shock. Dan.....he talked to Dan. Tears came to his eyes and he buried his head into Ban's shoulder.

Ban giggled when Theos rested his head in his shoulder, Ban reached his arms around and embraced his head then put his own on Theos scalp letting out almost a purr. Kemba walked over to Theos and Ban in their loving embrace, he moved his large head down and Ban looked at Kemba chuckling from the hot breath of the large cats nose breathing on his body. He released Theos head from his tight and warm embrace and licked Kemba's nose. Kemba flared his nostrils in response and returned the kiss. His tongue large enough to lick Ban's neck and entire face at once. The rough texture and wet surface causing Ban to break out in a happy laugh.
"You got real big." Ban said, "To save both of you..." Kemba replied. Ban smiled, the beating of his tail against the sand was louder then the crackling of the fire and created a small sand cloud. Ban let out a heavy yawn and his eyes became heavy, Kemba smiled and laid down, his body against Theos. He lifted his paw over and wrapped it around his mate and the young prince. His warm large body staving off any remnant of the cold the fire couldn't chase away.
"Sleep now Ban...you've been through so much." Kemba said. Ban looked up wearily at Kemba,
"What about getting back to camp?"
"We will...first thing in the morning. The enemy army has to march through here, I will be on the lookout and take you back at first sunrise." Ban smiled and turned himself on his side, placing his arm over the giant paw coddling him.
"Okay...Theos...could you sing that song again? It's my favorite." Kemba cocked his head, wondering what song that was.
After Theos would sing it, Ban would easily be put to sleep. The warmth of the two digimon outside his family that he loved with all of his heart, keeping him safe. After a moment, Kemba would notice Theos leg and the patch on Ban's stomach. He wasn't angry...this was like Theos to try his hardest to save someone. After saving Ban, it would be distasteful to argue with Theos now about something like this, but they still needed to talk.
The great feline moved his head down to Theos leg without warning and licked at his wound. Theos blood on his tongue was a terrible taste, but he didn't mind. His tongue easily lapped up Theos whole leg. "We should probably talk about before..." He said calmly as he continued to lick Theos wound.

"You got real big." Ban said, "To save both of you..." Theos looked up at Kemba as he wrapped his arm around them. He nuzzled his neck and chest his white fur tickling his nose a bit as he did so. Some how despite everything Ban was alive and his relief turned into exhaustion and sleeplessness.
"Sleep now Ban...you've been through so much." Kemba said. Ban looked up wearily at Kemba,
"What about getting back to camp?"
"We will...first thing in the morning. The enemy army has to march through here, I will be on the lookout and take you back at first sunrise." Ban smiled and turned himself on his side, placing his arm over the giant paw coddling him.
"Okay...Theos...could you sing that song again? It's my favorite." Kemba cocked his head, wondering what song that was.
Theos nodded and found his voice after a moment, "Sleep near to me my son, lay down your little head. Sleep under the star lit sky, and dream your dreams tonight.
Dream a dream were we dance and play. Dream a dream where we spend the day, walking side by side. So lay your head tonight.
Listen to the sound of my heart, it beats in time to yours. Let it be the peace that makes you sleep.
Under this star lit sky. So go to sleep my son, don't worry about the day. Just rest now your weary eyes
and think of me tonight, and I'll be here watching close keeping you safe this night. Even if we part our ways, remember
this star lit night. I'll be in your heart and mind, always by your side. So go to sleep tonight. So go to sleep tonight.
Go to sleep my little precious one." Theos watched Ban slowly drift off. His fear of him sleeping gone as he watched his chest.
"We should probably talk about before..." Theos flinched at first but let him clean it.
"About my denial and your acceptance? Forget it....it is in the past now. Ban is alive that is all that matters," Theos said rubbing his head against Kembas muzzle. "I wouldn't have known how to handle Kaa if he had. He had been against it from the beginning. Their world has been turned upside down. We are more use to it than them....and yet we aren't. Whenever these emotions are renewed it still feels like the first time to me."

Whenever these emotions are renewed it still feels like the first time to me."
"Loss never gets easier to handle...it only gets harder. Hardest when it is someone who resides in the biggest piece of your heart." Kemba pushed his muzzle lovingly against Theos smaller head. He stopped and Theos noticed a saddened expression, "Theos....what am I too you?" He asked. A foolish question, he should know the answer to that. So then why even ask it?
"Am I the digimon you plan on marrying...or am I your weapon?" He softly looked to him, "You already know....my heart belongs to you. Though...I'm not sure yours belongs too me..." Kemba moved his head down and continued licking Theos wound.
"Am I an object of love, or lust? You've ordered me to follow your will...more than once...as a weapon who took an oath, I am bound by my teachings to obey...despite any of my objections. I told you when I came out too you back in Bai Hu that the role of master and weapon wasn't enough for me. I believed you felt the same. In the ring...when I was fighting to earn our money back so long ago...you told Blake...I was a weapon...you were my master and I was nothing without you. As true as that may have been...it felt genuine. That I was just a weapon then." Kemba pressed himself against Theos tightly.
"We've shared deep moments...when I asked you to hold off on the coronation....you didn't listen. When Jared died and I suggested we parted ways, you were going to allow it. Dark Theos....he mated me you know...and I thought it was you. He called me names...and caused harm to me...which aroused him. Sheila said that he was still you, just he acted on your darkest feelings. I was just an object of lust...who ordered me." Kemba stopped his treatment when the blood had finally ceased.
"I will never leave you because I love you...I don't call you master, I call you lover. I look to protect you out of the affections I have. Even if what I believe to be true, that all I am is just the weapon with benefits....a digimon you can cry and rely on...I will defend you to my last breath." Kemba looked at Theos, his gentle face against the light made him look harmless despite his aggressive looks.
"If you believed in our love, why then do you need to order me as a weapon....why not reach out to me as Kemba? The digimon you claim to want to marry?" Kemba laid his head over Theos neck. "Theos, I want to be your husband. I want to marry you and maybe even adopt and raise children with you when we're older. I want to grow old with you and reminisce as we wait our last day. I want to marry a digimon who loves me...not lusts after me. I have no interest in marrying a master."

"Loss never gets easier to handle...it only gets harder. Hardest when it is someone who resides in the biggest piece of your heart." Theos nodded looking to Kemba his eyes sad, "Theos....what am I too you?"
"Am I the digimon you plan on marrying...or am I your weapon?" He softly looked to him, "You already know....my heart belongs to you. Though...I'm not sure yours belongs to me..." What did he mean? Of course Theos heart belonged to him.
"Am I an object of love, or lust? You've ordered me to follow your will...more than once...as a weapon who took an oath, I am bound by my teachings to obey...despite any of my objections. I told you when I came out too you back in Bai Hu that the role of master and weapon wasn't enough for me. I believed you felt the same. In the ring...when I was fighting to earn our money back so long ago...you told Blake...I was a weapon...you were my master and I was nothing without you. As true as that may have been...it felt genuine. That I was just a weapon then." He had done that try and get them to let him so he could fight beside Kemba. Not because he was a weapon but because Theos wanted to save him.
"We've shared deep moments...when I asked you to hold off on the coronation....you didn't listen. When Jared died and I suggested we parted ways, you were going to allow it. Dark Theos....he mated me you know...and I thought it was you. He called me names...and caused harm to me...which aroused him. Sheila said that he was still you, just he acted on your darkest feelings. I was just an object of lust...who ordered me." Theos growled a bit. He didn't want any of those things. He never did...that side of him it was like Stall. It had to have just taking the worst of him. That hidden dark side that resides in everyone and a few would ever release.
"I will never leave you because I love you...I don't call you master, I call you lover. I look to protect you out of the affections I have. Even if what I believe to be true, that all I am is just the weapon with benefits....a digimon you can cry and rely on...I will defend you to my last breath." And Theos him.
"If you believed in our love, why then do you need to order me as a weapon....why not reach out to me as Kemba? The digimon you claim to want to marry?" Kemba laid his head over Theos neck. "Theos, I want to be your husband. I want to marry you and maybe even adopt and raise children with you when we're older. I want to grow old with you and reminisce as we wait our last day. I want to marry a digimon who loves me...not lusts after me. I have no interest in marrying a master."
"Our first night together I told you my kind mates for life. I let you claim me as yours," Theos responded. "I love you Kemba. I ordered you back there because I tried reasoning with you. Your response was 'I didn't promise.' I have never wanted to treat you like a weapon. I get it you know. I try to do what is best for everyone and usually ends up biting me in the butt," Theos sat up looking to his wounded leg.
"In the arena I was trying to get in there with you. To protect you I said those words in a way to get them to let me in. It didn't work....and you've been harboring those doubts of me for so long. You wanted to leave and I had nothing to offer you to get you to stay. I thought it was for the best because of Stall and Helix. I love you too much to drag you into your death," Theos couldn't look to Kemba after seeing his hurt face.
"Honestly in this past year I have felt more emotions than anyone should. I have learned hate and the darkest of despairs. I have learned the deepest of loves too. Thanks to you," Theos finally looked up at Kemba. "No matter what I say or how i act in troublesome times that will never change. I love you Kemba now and forever. Even if you were to leave me tomorrow I would take no other in your place. That it true love unconditional and without bounds."

"Our first night together I told you my kind mates for life. I let you claim me as yours," Theos responded. "I love you Kemba. I ordered you back there because I tried reasoning with you.

Even if you were to leave me tomorrow I would take no other in your place. That it true love unconditional and without bounds."
Kemba listened to Theos speak and he eyed him a moment before looking away, "I was angry at Stall for shooting Ban...because Ban is innocent. All he ever does is love and it wasn't fair that someone like him had to be a casualty of a pointless conflict. You asked me to return and I thought this new form would be enough to kill Stall....especially because he was unconscious and it may have well been. Then I saw that digimon about to harm you and I realized how foolish I was. No...that's wrong. I realized this very moment...why you ordered me. I understand why you did it, it did make me question whether you believed in me to come back to you without ordering me like a weapon. I know it was my own fault I made you do that...I'm sorry for blaming you." Kemba looked to the fire, watching it crackle and dance.
"It is true I wanted to leave back then, go our separate ways and take each others heart with us...you say you had nothing to offer to get me to stay...but that wasn't true. I wanted you to beg me to stay with you and you never did. I would have, I would have stayed even without Magi showing us what he did. If your heart would have reached me, I would have stayed. You always have you to offer...I say that now because it is at my hindsight but it's true. I know it is. You say you love me too much to drag me to my death...but I would run too it for you. 'Till death due us part....that is the oath..." Kemba pulled Theos tight against his body in almost a hug if they weren't laying down.
"I've seen you...growing more spiteful towards the world. Who can blame you? Though...if I'm being honest...every time you deal with some terrible loss...I ask myself, is this the one that turns him into dark Theos? I feel like due to all of this...you're slipping from my grasp...from the light slower and slower and I don't know how to get you back. You have changed from the mines. You are afraid to commit yourself to promises because of the ones that were broken beyond your control." Kemba slightly licked Theos ear when a bug landed on its outer part, sending it flying.
"If you cannot promise anymore...then we can never be married...because marriage is in and of itself, a promise. A promise of eternal love...companionship...protection...long life....and eventually, death. Weather that becomes a reality is irrelevant cause I will be by your side always...but you should know that. You say you love me unconditionally...I want to believe you...but I need to know that no matter how dark this war becomes...how much Stall pains us...that...you won't lose yourself...that...this..." Kemba motioned to Theos's leg wound,
"Doesn't keep happening....you hurting yourself, to try and save Ban....hurts both of us." Kemba kept his eyes on the fire now, waiting to hear what Theos had to say.

"I was angry at Stall for shooting Ban...because Ban is innocent. All he ever does is love and it wasn't fair that someone like him had to be a casualty of a pointless conflict. You asked me to return and I thought this new form would be enough to kill Stall....especially because he was unconscious and it may have well been. Then I saw that digimon about to harm you and I realized how foolish I was. No...that's wrong. I realized this very moment...why you ordered me. I understand why you did it, it did make me question whether you believed in me to come back to you without ordering me like a weapon. I know it was my own fault I made you do that...I'm sorry for blaming you." Theos didn't doubt that he would return to him. But he had doubted the time they had to flee. If they had been surrounded again even with Kemba's newfound strength against an entire army they wouldn't last long.
"It is true I wanted to leave back then, go our separate ways and take each others heart with us...you say you had nothing to offer to get me to stay...but that wasn't true. I wanted you to beg me to stay with you and you never did. I would have, I would have stayed even without Magi showing us what he did. If your heart would have reached me, I would have stayed. You always have you to offer...I say that now because it is at my hindsight but it's true. I know it is. You say you love me too much to drag me to my death...but I would run too it for you. 'Till death due us part....that is the oath..." Theos nodded in response.
"I've seen you...growing more spiteful towards the world. Who can blame you? Though...if I'm being honest...every time you deal with some terrible loss...I ask myself, is this the one that turns him into dark Theos? I feel like due to all of this...you're slipping from my grasp...from the light slower and slower and I don't know how to get you back. You have changed from the mines. You are afraid to commit yourself to promises because of the ones that were broken beyond your control." Kemba slightly licked Theos ear when a bug landed on its outer part, sending it flying.
"If you cannot promise anymore...then we can never be married...because marriage is in and of itself, a promise. A promise of eternal love...companionship...protection...long life....and eventually, death. Weather that becomes a reality is irrelevant cause I will be by your side always...but you should know that.

Kemba motioned to Theos's leg wound,
"Doesn't keep happening....you hurting yourself, to try and save Ban....hurts both of us."
Theos was silent as he thought on Kembas words only the crackling of the fire between them. Marriage in and of itself was an oath and promise of never ending devotion to one another. He suddenly was unsure of his own conviction to never make a promise again. Yes it had been out of control and even fate had deemed Dan to die in those mines. No matter what Theos did it would have turned out the same way. So why did he let his past dictate his future so?
Theos stomach churned nervously as he said his next words, "I....I promise to always love you Kemba no matter what. You are my one ray of light in this dark world. Without the love of you and the others I would have lost my way a long time ago. I will never be like my dark self ever. Because unlike it I wasn't born of greed and rage but love and compassion.Our pain and our suffering it is shared between us but so is everything else. This body of mine it is also yours and just like you would run to death for me and I would do the same."

"I....I promise to always love you Kemba no matter what. You are my one ray of light in this dark world. Without the love of you and the others I would have lost my way a long time ago. I will never be like my dark self ever. Because unlike it I wasn't born of greed and rage but love and compassion.Our pain and our suffering it is shared between us but so is everything else. This body of mine it is also yours and just like you would run to death for me and I would do the same."
Kemba was happy to hear it, that devotion from Theos heart. It put his worries to rest and he returned Theos to how he once was, at least the start of it. Then it was time for Kemba to do what he had planned too do at the coronation. He stood up from where he lay and walked to sit in front of Theos, his body gave off a faint glow and he reverted back to Spadamon. He looked at Theos and smiled, "Theos that makes me...so happy. I've been waiting for you...to promise again. Your coronation ended before I could do this...I practiced...and memorized what I wanted to say...um..." Kemba began to turn a shade of red and he knelt down on one knee.
"R...Raja...told me....this was how...it was usually done....so um....Theos the Theowmon...my sun, my moon and my stars...my world...my life....my love....my very heart and soul...this past year has been a lifetime packed into such a short time....but there is no one else I'd rather be with....to spend another lifetime with for however long we last. To continue to cry and play and love...forever. It is true by Coraggian law, we cannot marry until we come of age, but that doesn't mean I cannot vow to do so...if you will have me as your fiance until the official ceremony to replace my oath as your weapon and my master....Theos...will you marry me?" Kemba was flushed red, this sort of thing easily embarrassed him, even alone under this star lit sky.
Kemba looked down and scratched the back of his head, "This isn't probably the best time to do this....I'm sorry....I should have waited until after..." Kemba said unable to look Theos in the eyes.
