Title: A Meeting Of Knights

{Description: After Rembrandt and Dirk lose their Taur halves, Rem goes out to search, and stumbles across a friendly group}

{A little gift fic that I decided to make for @soothedcerberus involving Rem}

——

Rembrandt walked through the forest with his new pair of legs, in search for where his taur half could’ve gone—since it immediately took off running after the separation happened.

The case was the same with Dirk’s taur half—and after both ran off to who knows where, the three had decided to split up, in hopes that it would help them find the dragon and horse quicker.

He hoped Dirk and Dael would be alright during their own searches.

“WoAH-“ Shizen flew up in time, out of the way of the horse—which seemed to be upset, but the fairy didn’t know what could potentially be wrong. She didn’t even know where it had come from.

While this was certainly an issue, Kishi was just relieved that it was simply a horse that would need to be dealt with, and nothing of the norm—like fairy hunters.

“Are you-...” Kishi started, looking up at where Shizen had flown up to—but, while doing so, noticed a shaking Ikuto, who was nowhere in the horses range, and was hiding behind a tree.

“Ikuto? What’s the matter?”

“I-... I can’t like horses...” The shaking Android muttered.

“You can’t?” Shizen looked down at them from above, “Don’t you mean that you don’t?”

Ikuto shook their helm. “Di-... Did I ever tell you how my creator was terrified of horses? He programmed me to feel the same...”

As Rembrandt continued his walk through the forest, he started to hear what sounded like a horse—was it his taur half? He hoped so.

At the same time, he could hear some voices—a little distant, but still well enough for him to understand what was being said.

“Why... would somebody do that? That’s such a weird-“ The first voice decided to question.

“Don’t ask me, it’s not like I can go meet up with him a-“ The second voice had started to reply.

“Guys, later. Right now, horse!” The third voice told the first and second.

“Hm?” Rembrandt raised an eyebrow.

Curious as to what was going on over there—and in the hopes that the horse mentioned happened to be his taur half, the Knight started to approach where he could hear all of this.

Kazoku watched the horse, wondering how it could be dealt with—the young girl didn’t want it to be hurt, and she figured the others felt the same.

An idea popped up in her mind. Maybe it wasn’t exactly the best one—but it certainly was an idea, and she didn’t think it was the worst thing ever.

At first, Kazoku slowly approached the horse—who seemed to be thinking of what to do next—from the side.

Then, when the young girl was close enough, she ran, and jumped—managing to get onto the horse’s back, although there was a bit of a struggle for a second or two.

“Kaz!” Kishi stared with widened eyes.

Kazoku waved the Knight off in a “Don’t worry” motion, before her attention was back on the horse.

“Hey, horsey,” Kazoku gently began to speak to it, “Is something the matter? Maybe we could-“

Kazoku was cut off with a yelp when, suddenly, the horse was beginning to kick around. And when it stopped a moment later, it started running off—with her still on its back.

“Kaz!”

Rembrandt figured that he was getting closer—but, rather, it was the other way.

He came to a stop when he noticed a horse—immediately managing to recognize it as his taur half—approaching.

On top of it was a young girl, who was holding on for dear life—not wanting to fall with how fast the taur half happened to be going.

Although, despite her best efforts, she hadn’t held on enough.

Moments later, the horse started to kick around again, before coming to a sudden halt—and that was when she was suddenly flung off its back.

“Oh!” Rembrandt gasped.

He ran forward as she started heading towards the ground—and managed to catch her just in time, causing both to sigh in relief. He had stumbled a little, but managed to stay standing.

He looked down at who he had caught, and noticed how she was now clinging to him—perhaps out of alarm from what happened, but she also seemed pretty comfortable.

“Are... Are you alright?” The Knight gently questioned, earning a nod in response.

While Rembrandt was distracted with the girl, the taur half took this time to run off, yet again, to who knows where.

“That’s good,” Rembrandt smiled in relief. Carefully, he placed her back onto the ground in front of him.

He had taken notice of how his taur half was already gone, but that was alright—he could just continue looking.

“Kaz!” Rembrandt heard one of the previous voices from earlier, and turned to look—noticing another Knight hurriedly approaching, although this one didn’t have a taur half.

Following behind it was a fairy, and someone else was following behind said fairy. At first glance, they could easily be seen as human. But, as they got closer, it was easier to tell that they were an Android.

“Are- are you hurt, Kazoku?” Kishi worriedly asked.

He carefully pulled the young girl close, and it started to try and check her over... until she made a quick little motion for that to stop.

“No, I’m okay,” Kazoku smiled, and pointed towards Rembrandt. “He caught me when I was thrown off.”

Kishi stood back up to their full height, and looked towards the other Knight. “Thank you.”

“It’s not a problem,” Rembrandt hummed.

“What brings you out here?” The Android asked, “This place could be a bit dangerous,” Sure, if you could defend yourself, it could be a little easier—but still. He was glad his home was safe.

“And... and there was also that horse...” Ikuto frowned, shivering.

“Ah... well, you see, that horse is actually the reason I’ve been wandering,” He tells the group, “That horse is my taur half- we... got split.”

“That- that can happen?” Ikuto raised an eyebrow.

“In this situation, yes.” Rembrandt nodded.

Kishi seemed to have already decided on something. “Perhaps us four could help you track down your half and get this fixed?”

Having the help while Dirk and Dael were searching elsewhere would be nice. Rembrandt nodded.

With that, the group started to head off in the direction that the taur half must’ve gone.

“Oh!” Kishi had just realized something—introductions. Names. That had yet to happen.

“My name is Kishi, it’s nice to meet you.” They held out their hand.

“I’m Rembrandt.” The Taur-less-Knight took and shook the others hand.

“This is my daughter Kazoku,” It started to gesture around to everyone, “And these are our friends, Shizen and Ikuto.”

“Soo,” Kazoku hums, looking up at Rembrandt—she definitely wanted to know all of the details, “How did this even happen?”

“Well...” Rembrandt started. It was a big story—although he was sure that they’d all have enough time for it to be shared.
