A/N This is my first FF fic, so any advice is appreciated.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The clouds were black and threatened to open up and deluge the city. Thunder scared away birds and little children, and lightening kept the airships at bay. This weather smashed everyone's spirits. Well, almost everyone's spirits.
Dracia was used to this type of weather. She had grown up with it her whole life. She believed that these pitiful people had no concept of bad weather. This weather was paradise to her. The only thing about it that she did not like was that rain could rust her sword. Some thief had taken her scabbard earlier that day.
Well, nothing she could do about that. The little imp had probably already sold it for a measly amount of gil. No use searching for the thief just to get back some gil. Besides, she had a tight schedule to keep to. The regent would get testy if she were late. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Oh crap! These guys are relentless! The tall man heaved slightly as he ran for his life. The guards had caught him with the regent's daughter and they weren't going to let him off easy. Though, he thought they were just a little too protective. He just stopped to say hi to her and they were chasing him down like a dog.
"Get back here you worthless cur! We'll teach you not to mess with the regent's daughter!" The guards were fast, but not fast enough.
"Mess with? All I did was say 'hi'! Is that a crime now, or what?" He drew his spear and threw it into the wall that surrounded the castle. He jumped and swung up and over the wall. Oh well, he thought, I can get a new one in town. The guards didn't follow him. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It still was not raining as Dracia worked her way through the cobbled streets. She heard shouts as she came closer to the castle. She shrugged them off. Those guards were always vying for an excuse to yell at someone or something.
As she got nearer she could see a dark haired, tall man running towards her. She rolled her eyes. When he got in range she picked up a rock and chucked it at his torso. He noticed her and stopped.
"Oh, um, hi Dracia. What's, uh, up?" He glanced around for something to use to defend himself.
Dracia walked up to him. "You aren't in trouble Trangan, yet. What did you do this time?" Her cold eyes bore into his.
"All I did was say hi to Lady Felnei and they went nuts!"
"That explains it. Well, you had better get your ass out of here or those guards are going to be all over it."
"Yes ma'am!" Trangan ran off.
Dracia laughed. The guards never went outside of the castle walls. Well, the regular guards never did. But Shadow Knights like herself did. However, Trangan had always believed her to be a regular guard and that all the other guards were like her. She always loved to trick him. He was so gullible.
She shook her head. Oh, well. She'd have to laugh later over a drink at the pub. Right now, she had to check in with the regent or he'd be pissed. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A/N So, how'd you like it? Please R&R.
