BLUE SUB No. 6: "SIDE STORY"
Part I: Lost
The water crashed against the sore line as a lone figure walked slowly along it. It was a quiet day and slightly overcast with a soft breeze. Dianna could hear the sand crunch beneath her boots as she walked along. Reddish-pink locks shifted slightly in the breeze as she moved.
She pulled her hat off and folded it up, sticking it into the pocket of her dark brown overcoat. The top button around her neck was open, showing her collarbone. She reached up, green fingers brushing vibrant locks out of her eyes.
She spotted something off in the distance and slowly made her way over to it. Once there, she realized that it was some kind of hybrid. He had reddish-brown fur with black hands and feet and a bushy tall with a black tip on it. His pointed ears were also black and his chest and underarms where white, along with parts of his face.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were a fox." She remarked, kneeling down next to him. "Hmm," she thought as lifted up his chin, noting the strange blond hair that seemed out of place. "And a handsome one too." She smiled to herself.
She reached down and grabbed onto his shoulders and pulled him out of the surf and up onto the dry sand. She then turned and walked up to the where the dunes began and looked around. She took a telescope out of one of her coat pockets and looked around. "No villages around that I can see." She thought to herself and then looked back over her shoulder. "Now, where could you have come from?" She thought out loud.
.o.o.o.
Cray coughed and suddenly woke up, he looked around, realizing that he was sitting under a canopy on some beach. A small houseboat was moored nearby. He looked around then spotted a green skinned woman walking towards him. She was wearing a white shirt and gray pants with riding boots.
"I see you're awake at last?" She observed.
"Where am I?" He asked suddenly.
She smiled and sat down next to him. "Well, it seems my cute little fox, that you're lost."
He ran a hand through his hair, noting that it had come loose and was hanging messily down around his face. He also noticed that his pants were torn in several places as well. He looked over at Dianna, trying to notice that enough of the upper buttons on her shirt were open to give him a rather nice view.
"My name is Cray." He told her. "I'm from Alparda Village." He added.
Dianna smiled at her nervousness. "I'm sorry, but I don't know where that is." She replied, handing him a cup. "Here, drink this." She instructed him.
He took the cup. "Who are you?" He asked her.
"My name is Dianna Ainsley, I'm a traveler." She explained, introducing herself. "Though I doubt that you are." She pointed out.
"I'm lost." He replied wearily.
She nodded her head. "So it seems, but things aren't all bad, you're alive and that's something." She added.
She then stood up and stuck her hands in her pockets. "Do you know how you got here?"
"No, I can't remember what happened to me- the last thing I can recall was that I was working in the gulf, with the other fishermen."
"So, you're a fisherman then?" She asked, looking into the darkening horizon. She then snapped her fingers. "Ah-ha, I know what I can do," She announced. "Perhaps if I can check my charts, then I can get a fix on where you came from- and get you home."
She sat down again and smiled. "How's that sound?" She asked.
He looked over at her and smiled. "Yeah, that sounds good, thank you- Miss Ainsley."
"Call my Dianna." She corrected with a smile, putting a hand on his shoulder.
(- End of Part I -)
.o.o.o.
Well, this is the first part of a little side story for Dianna. I'm not sure where it going to go for the moment, I want this to be more independant of the anime and more focused on the original characters. Some of the Toltec's characters may make some cameos later on, otherwise, this is basically pretty close to a totally orignal work.
Also, I caught a showing of "The Lion King" at the Majestic Theatre in my home city of San Antonio. I don't think I would have chosen to see it, but the tickets were a gift, so I was happy to go watch it with my step-sister and her friend. The play is actually pretty cool and adds in a few new aspects to the story. Later,
