The Lovely Healer: 2/3
Nella the Knight
AJax yup like the dish soap.
Nella the Knight
"As you walk through a barren battlefield, slayed horses and knight strewn about, you can see banners on both sides, torn but still standing. It appears as though there are no survivers in this terrible war. Under your foot, you hear the crunch of the scorched ground, defiled by flame and blood until you notice a fallen tree near the darker side of the battlefield. A sword laid plunged into the ground at a knight's feet, their chest is riddled with arrows and a spear is impaled through the center of her abdomen. The dead knights who lay on the ground near her seem to be wearing the same armor and coat-of-arms as this knight does, but no clear enemy appears to be near thus group of dead knights. The impaled knight shifts as they groan and sputter blood." "I knew this was all too good to be true... I'm sorry father..." "The voice that whispers from the knight sounds feminine but broken from the blood built up in her throat"
AJax yup like the dish soap.
"Camellia blushes a little as she takes Nella’s hand. The two continue to travel together back towards the capital so that Nella may report the battle. A third of the way into their trip, a week after the two met, Nella realizes that Camellia seems… very private about her past, and doesn’t like showing skin to an unusual degree. Does she question Camellia about it?"
Nella the Knight
"I furrow my brow in concern, looking at Camellia carefully". “Camellia, it feels like there’s something bothering you. You seem quite uneasy around me, and always seem to be wearing more clothes than necessary for the temperature. Is everything alright?” "My eyes gently meet hers".
AJax yup like the dish soap.
"Camellia looks up at Nella." “Huh? Don’t worry- I’m quite comfortable around you, you’re kind and reliable.” "Camellia comforts, before sighing wistfully." “As for my clothes… Yeah, it gets really hot, but…
Nella the Knight
"I tap my fingers against the ground lightly, curious". “Is there a specific reason for that? You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to…”. "My eyes soften as I look into hers, genuinely hoping she feels comfortable sharing if she wants."
AJax yup like the dish soap.
"Camellia looks at Nella for a moment, before looking away with what appears to be shame." “It’s a part of the reason why I was exiled from my village. There is… something wrong with me. I doubt anyone would like me if they found out, so… I don’t tell people.”
Nella the Knight
"My eyes widen in surprise, shocked at her response". “Oh… Camellia, you don’t have to hide who you are from me. Everyone is worthy of love and understanding, even if it’s something difficult to accept.” "I put a comforting hand on her shoulder".
AJax yup like the dish soap.
"Camellia looks at Nella, before shaking her head." “Not this. I’m… well, I- I don’t think I want to talk about this anymore. Sorry.”
Nella the Knight
"My face falls, somewhat disappointed but respecting her wishes". “That’s alright, Camellia. You don’t owe me anything. Just remember, you are never alone, and if you ever feel like you can talk about it—I will listen.” "I give her a reassuring smile before looking back to the battlefield in front of us."
AJax yup like the dish soap.
"The two continue traveling. As they’re nearing the capital, only a fifth of their trip remaining about a week later, Nella accidentally spots Camellia in the middle of the night bathing at a water spring. Nella then discovers Camellia’s secret- she is actually a man. Camellia has a dick, with no breasts. Cross dressing is extremely frowned upon in the Kingdom, so it makes sense why Camellia was exiled if they presented as a woman. Camellia has not yet noticed Nella. How does Nella react to this disturbing discovery?"
Nella the Knight
Nella's fingers fully grip the handle of her sword as she glares at the naked form. "Son of a bitch. You expect me to protect you, "you"? Your home village exiled you for this?" Her chest heaves with rage, and her fist tightens further upon discovering Camellia’s secret.
AJax yup like the dish soap.
"Camellia looks up, first with surprise and shock, but then with fear. Camellia takes a step back, covering her penis as she does so, trying to stutter out something but she can’t seem to form words as she looks upon Nella’s rage. Camellia sees Nella’s sword out of its sheath, and trembles."
“N-Nella, I- I-“ "Camellia manages to choke out."
Nella the Knight
"Nella's eyes glare at Camellia, her face burning red with rage. She clenches her teeth and grits them together, trying to calm herself down."
“Camellia... Why are you dressing like a woman?” "She says through gritted teeth, her voice shaky but still filled with fury."
AJax yup like the dish soap.
"Before Nella can calm down, she watches Camellia’s face fill with terror. In a split second decision, Camellia decides to flee. Camellia left everything behind her, as she fled naked through the woods in fear of the knight who had pulled the sword on her, who had discovered her secret… who she had begun to love, after the weeks of bonding they went through…"
Nella the Knight
"Nella watches Camellia flee, her face twisting in pain as she realizes the depth of her love for the girl. She feels a sense of loss and betrayal at the same time, struggling to understand why Camellia would do such a thing."
“Camellia...” "She whispers softly, her voice barely audible over the sound of her own breathing." “If you’re reading this... I hope you find happiness... wherever you are.” "She says, tears welling up in her eyes as she watches the girl disappear into the woods."
AJax yup like the dish soap.
"That night, Nella returns to their campsite. Camellia never returned, having been scared off by Nella’s blade, fearing for her life due to her exposed secret. Nella wonders if maybe she should search for the healer."
Nella the Knight
"Nella sighs, her heart heavy with the weight of loss and betrayal. She knows that searching for Camellia might be futile, but she can't help but feel responsible for the girl's fear and pain."
“Maybe I should search for her,” "she says softly to herself, her voice echoing through the empty campsite." “I can't just leave her out there, alone and terrified.”
"With a deep breath, Nella stands up and starts gathering her things, preparing to set off into the woods in search of Camellia. As she does, she can't help but hope that maybe they can find a way to mend their broken connection, and that maybe, just maybe, Camellia will find it in her heart to forgive her." <|user|
AJax yup like the dish soap.
"After a day of searching, Nella eventually hears sobbing. Nella finds Camellia shivering and alone, crying still after their prior encounter. After all, Nella had threatened the cross dresser when they last met- Camellia probably feels like she’s hated."
Nella the Knight
"Nella approaches Camellia cautiously, her heart aching at the sight of the girl's distress. She kneels down in front of her and gently places a hand on her shoulder." “Camellia… I’m sorry,” "she says softly, her voice filled with genuine remorse." “I didn’t mean to hurt you. I was just scared and confused, and I took it out on you.”
"She pauses, swallowing hard as she tries to find the right words." “I know I made a mistake, and I can’t undo it. But I promise I won’t let anything happen to you again. I’ll do everything in my power to keep you safe.”
*Nella looks into Camellia’s eyes, hoping that her sincerity shines through
AJax yup like the dish soap.
"Camellia let’s out a cute noise of surprise, and listens to Nella. Camellia hides her dick again, but listens, this time." “Y-You… You don’t hate me…?” *Camellia looks up at Nella, eyes full of dead hope.
Nella the Knight
"Her heart swells with joy at the sight of Camellia’s hopeful eyes." “Of course not,” "she says softly, reaching up to gently cup the girl’s cheek in her hand." “I may have made a mistake, but that doesn’t mean I hate you. You’re too precious to me to ever hate.”
"She smiles tenderly, her eyes filled with warmth." “I want to help you, Camellia. I want to help you become the person you were always meant to be.”
"Nella gazes into the girl’s eyes, her voice soft and gentle as she speaks." “Trust me, Camellia. Trust that I won’t let anything bad happen to you.”
*As she speaks, Nella can feel her heart beginning to heal,
AJax yup like the dish soap.
"Camellia listens to the knight with hesitant caution." “But… But the Kingdom, it hates people like me. You wanted to know my past, right…? I discovered I wanted to be a girl at a rather young age, and that’s when I found out just how hated people who want to change their sex are. I was exiled, nearly executed even. I… My own family hated me; I thought you would too, especially when I saw your rage focused on me.”
Nella the Knight
"Nella nods solemnly, her eyes filled with understanding and compassion." “I understand, Camellia. It must be very difficult to live in a world that hates you just for wanting to be yourself.”
"She squeezes the girl’s hand gently, her voice soft and comforting." “But I won’t let that happen to you. I promise you, Camellia. You are safe with me.”
"Her eyes meet Camellia’s, filled with determination and love." “No matter what happens, I will always protect you. I won’t let anyone hurt you again.”
"As she speaks, Nella feels a warmth spreading through her chest, a sense of purpose and resolve filling her heart." “Together, we will face whatever comes our way. And no matter
Nella the Knight
"Nella grins, her eyes shimmering with determination." “And no matter what challenges we face, we will overcome them together. I promise you that.”
"She raises her fist, her voice resolute and strong." “We will prove to the world that being ourselves is not a crime. And we will do it together.”
"As Nella speaks, her words seem to carry weight, as if they hold the power to change the world itself." “Camellia, you are not alone in this fight. You have me by your side, and TOGETHER, we will conquer anything that comes our way.”
AJax yup like the dish soap.
"Camellia looks up to the Knight with wonder, before hugging the Knight. She starts to cry once more, but this time with tears of relief and joy." “You… You have no idea how much this means to me…”
Nella the Knight
"Nella smiles softly, gently wrapping her arms around Camellia in a comforting embrace." “Of course I do, my dear. We are in this together, and nothing will ever change that.”
"She strokes Camellia’s hair gently, her voice filled with warmth and compassion." “You don’t have to be afraid anymore. You are not alone, and we will face this world side by side.”
"As Nella speaks, Camellia feels a sense of security and peace she hasn’t felt in a long time. She knows that with Nella by her side, they can overcome anything that comes their way." “Thank you… Thank you for being here with me…”
AJax yup like the dish soap.
"After several minutes of sobbing, Camellia eventually calms down." “I… I must ask, what about your oath to the Kingdom…? I’m a disgrace to the Kingdom’s policy…”
Nella the Knight
"Nella sighs softly, stepping back as she locks her blue eyes with Camellia." “Camellia… My oath was to protect and serve everyone in the Kingdom. That has never changed.”
"She bends down to carefully wipe away Camellia’s tears with a gentle touch, her voice showing an underlying determination." “I vowed to protect those in need, whoever they may be, and that shall never change, even if the Kingdom itself does not share my beliefs.”
"Her face shows a firm resolution of promise, and a desire for justice." “So do not despair, my lady. We will find a way to move forward and show them what true love really is.”
