The 1.000 year Great Sage ---> COMPLETED STORY

Rolland Hinamoto, the most famous adventurer in the Royal Kingdom of Rohan.

As a security guard, every caravan of merchants or Noble that had money enough to pay for him was sure to arrive at its destination.

As a bounty hunter, no wanted criminal was safe. Sooner or later, Rolland would find him and collect his reward, choosing always the most profitable one, either would be dead, or alive. If a criminal was more valuable dead, Rolland would take his head as proof. If it was alive, he would tie him down like a boar and carry him on top of a horse.

As a hunter, he was an experienced tracker, he had learned with the Elfians, experts on the forests when he lived among them after leaving the RabbitKind Kingdom.

In a fight, he was deadly. Trained by the RabbitKind since childhood, he was a master of the sword and unarmed combat.

Because he was the adoptive son of the King of the RabbitKind and he had an older half-brother that was the heir and another one that was an adventurer, that line of work was his obvious choice.

His ability with Fire, Wind Magic, and a bit of Dark Magic helped him many times when fighting criminal Mages.

He was well known, his purse was always filled with gold or silver coins and many women fell for him, women that didn't mind being a one night stand with the famous adventurer. Everything was going well for him at the age of 21, until one day, he met his match.

Anna was found by the Dwarf Prince, on one of his travels for trading. He liked going through the Rabbit Kind Kingdom, enter the Royal Kingdom of Rohan, going down to the BeastKind Kingdom, enter the Dwarfs Mountains in the South and visit the Southern Dwarf settlements before going up North again.

On one of his travels, near the Eternal Forest and right on the border between the Rabbit Kind and the Rohan Kingdom, a merchants caravan was attacked by a huge pack of big and nasty wolfs. When the Dwarf Prince accompanied by his two Dwarf companions saw the caravan, they saw 10 bodies of men and female dead on the floor and 10 dead wolves. They heard a baby crying, and what they saw, made their blood boil. A human baby was still on the arms of a dead woman with half her body ripped apart. It seems the woman had used her own body to protect the baby. Between the baby and the wolfs, stood one lonely Fairy in her human form, with two wings chewed but still alive and fighting with her Light Magic and a sword on both hands. The Prince knew far too well the sacred vow that the Fairies had of always protect the children on the Eternal Forest or near it, even at the cost of their own lives.

They rushed to her aid. With three angry Dwarfs joining her, the Fairy smiled, before collapsing of exhaustion on the ground. The Dwarfs killed the almost twenty wolfs that were surrounding the baby and the Fairy. But the wolfs didn't die peacefully. They were chopped, cut, smashed, their insides and their cut off legs were used as weapons, for the Dwarfs were angry. The Dwarfs always fight dirty, but they are truly scary when they are angry. And those three were infuriated.

Fifteen minutes later, the Dwarfs were collecting the wolfs furs, taking care of the wounds of the Fairy and cleaning the baby, because it was covered in the blood of her mother. After the Fairy bid then farewell and thanked their help, the Dwarfs buried the dead. They took the baby with them and the Prince raised her as if she was her own, and she received the name of Anna Barunger.

She was cherished by the Prince and loved by the Dwarfs while growing up, and she was as tall as they were when she made 9. Her abilities with Light and Healing Magic were off the charts.

She was trained since she was 3 years old, in unarmed combat. She was also an expert with the battle ax and the short sword. She was often walking on the hills of the Mountains of the Dwarfs. The caves were peaceful, but she eagered for the outdoors.

The Prince didn't hesitate when she asked him to learn more Magic, he enrolled her on the Knight and Magic School of the Kingdom of Rohan, on her 10th anniversary.

Anna was outstanding when at school. Her kindness and sympathy granted her the respect and the admiration of every Teacher and student. Her proficiency on the training grounds, granted her many awards on the school fighting tournaments, every year. She fought honorably when needed, and she fought dirty as a Dwarf when the situation asked for it.

When she graduated early, at the age of 14, she was recommended to be trained as a High Healer on the Palace of Rohan. She took only one year to be admitted on the ranks of the Royal Healers, the youngest ever to reach that position. After one more year, at the age of 16, she was the High Healer Anna Barunger, the Leader of the Healing Division, loved and respected by the Royal Healers, many of them, twice her age.

Four years later, at the age of 20, Anna had a very peculiar job. Because of her outstanding ability with Healing Magic, she was often traveling around the Kingdom, taking care of the wounded, healing diseases or preventing plagues. She liked that, because being confined inside the Palace, remembered her of the Dwarfs caves, where she always was looking to get out to the sun.

On one of the days that Anna was returning from another trip, she crossed paths in a street in the Capital of Rohan, with Rolland Denar'an Hinamoto. And he was done for.

Rolland Hinamoto was leisurely looking around in a street of the Capital of the Royal Kingdom of Rohan when Anna Barunger crossed paths with him. Rolland didn't saw well her face, he only noticed her cleavage and her round and perfect butt. At that moment, he did what a male of his type would do, he slapped that butt.

When he looked back, smiling and thinking that as soon as she recognized him, she would fall for him, he only saw a bright light that blinded him. The next thing that he noticed, was a sharp pain on his left cheek and he felt his body flying 2 meters in the air until hitting the ground hard and lose conscience.

The moment that Anna felt the pain of the slap on her but, she immediately did a quick Magic chant, even before looking back to see who was the fool to mess with a raised-as-a-Dwarf maiden. When she looked back and saw the smile of Rolland, she threw at close range a Blinding Light, directly at that stupid man's face. Next, she did a round-house kick to that fool's head that sent him flying.

When Rolland woke up, he was resting his head on Anna's lap. She was healing him. When he thought he was well enough to get up, Anna asked how he was feeling. The moment he said that he was ok, he felt a sudden pain in his face that broke his nose and sent him flying again.

As soon as Anna heard Rolland saying that he was ok and making a stupid smile, she immediately kicked him directly in his face. That kind of smile disgusted her.

When Rolland stopped rolling on the ground, he was on all fours, trying to say to Anna to stop for a while.

Anna saw him in his fours and she kicked his forehead, making him rolling backward and getting knocked out again.

Rolland woke up again on Anna's lap, and while he was getting up, he tried to say something.

Anna saw Rolland opening his mouth and because she thought that he was going to smile again, she punched him one, two, three times. The final uppercut knocked him down again.

When Rolland opened his eyes, he was on Anna's lap again. But before getting up, he immediately kneeled and asked for forgiveness. At that moment, he noticed one strange thing. He had a collar on his neck that connected through a thin chain to his right ankle.

He looked at Anna in surprise, and she said that because of what he did, she was going to make him her personal slave until she got tired of him.

Rolland was looking at the chain in surprise, and he became angry. He looked at Anna, and it was the first time that he truly looked at her. And he felt his body trembling. He couldn't stop looking at her and he couldn't stop trembling.

Anna saw Rolland trembling and she thought he was afraid of her, so she smiled. A gentle and true smile.

That was the end for Rolland. As soon as he saw the smile on Annas' face, that beautiful and genuine smile, he understood what was happening to him. He had been "imprint" by Anna. He had found his life companion, and she was gorgeous. Long black hair, with small twists on the edges and deep green eyes that looked like a forest, bathed by the morning sun.

A RabbitKind had only one weakness. If it could be called weakness…

The RabbitKind King and the Queen had explained to him and to his adoptive brothers, that a RabbitKind often fall in love at first sight when they meet their partner for life. That bond is called 'imprint'. Because Rolland was a Half-Breed RabbitKind, he had that peculiarity. He never thought that he could have, for all those years. But then, Anna appeared before him.

Over the next year, Anna continued on her work around the Kingdom, with Rolland at her side or behind her, as a normal slave. He saw the sympathy and compassion of Anna, the caring that she always showed for anyone in need. Everyone, except him. Anna truly despised him. For one whole year, he accompanied her, protected her against animals or bandits, being mocked upon when recognized by someone, and he never complained neither show his feelings towards Anna, except respect and obedience.

After that year ended, Anna released him. She said he was free to do what he wanted. He asked to continue at her side, to help her and protect her. He couldn't bear the fact that she could be in danger when he was not around.

Anna was surprised but after she noticed the strong resolution in his eyes, she accepted.

For one more year, Rolland was at Anna's side. Keeping guard during the night so that she could be safe and sleep at ease, talking with her during their travels, making her laugh or making her angry when he disagreed with her. From time to time, they would train, fighting each other with weapons, unarmed or with Magic.

Slowly but steady, Anna began to open her heart to Rolland. She told him how was her life on the Dwarfs Kingdom, her life at school, her training in the Palace. Rolland in turns, told her about his childhood, told some stories about his adventures and he ruined everything when he revealed his upbringing. Anna mocked him, she couldn't believe that he was the adoptive brother of the RabbitKind King.

They continued traveling and working together until the day came that Anna realized that she had fallen in love with him. She didn't accept her feelings at first, but after Rolland declare his love to her on one night after dinner and during their usual conversation in the moonlight, she did the same. But she continued to mock him about that Half-Breed RabbitKind part of his, that she didn't believe.

But one day, they met with "The Punishers", Cemil Denar'an and her husband, Sully Denar'an, older brother of Rolland and they confirmed his past. Anna was astonished. Rolland was even more amazing than she thought. They began traveling together, accompanying Anna on her work, leaving her with Rolland from time to time, to do some bandit suppression or criminal hunting.

One year later, Anna Barunger Hinamoto and Rolland Denar'an Hinamoto, settled down in a small village near the Eternal Forest. Rolland eagered for a quiet life, after so much messing around, and Anna wanted to live on the same village that was near the place where she was found by the Dwarf Prince, many years ago. When she was 16, one woman told her that she looked like one of her friends, that died too early, attacked by wolfs, and that made Anna decide that when she got married she would live on the same village where her mother has lived.

Another year passed by, and they were living peacefully in that village, but then, Seya was born. And their married life was never peaceful again…
