Chapter 1 of Definite Departure
Despite my fond love for ToS….I do not own it. Sad, I know. T.T !

Setting the pen down on the scroll, she sighed. Pushing away her work which was finally completed for the night, the long blonde head of hair bobbed silently over to the window of her room. The sky was a gorgeous sight tonight. Stars lined the sky, scattered everywhere as no clouds were visible. The full moon shone so brightly, there was no need for candles in Iselia tonight.
Colette Brunel closed her sapphire eyes, smiling contently, listening to the chorus of the night's song drift with the wind. Fall had finally arrived, but it had come as silently as ever. Leaves shuddered as they fell off trees, not knowing where the wind would take them as they traveled down, landing on whatever solid surface waited for them. Trees shook nimbly, desperately wishing for some type of warmth as their coat of leaves slowly slipped off.
Colette rubbed her eyes, quiet in her room. Her hand over her eyes, she thought a brief moment of rest would help her. But it didn't. Removing her hands, she opened her eyes, directed at the sky. The tiny angel has been up practically all night translating a foreign elven language for homework that Raine had given her. She found it a bit more difficult to learn than the angelic language, but as long as she could handle a couple words, then nothing seemed the problem.
Taking her mind off homework for a bit, Colette's eyes wandered over the visible areas of Iselia she could see from the window. Seeing the village at night cast a calm feeling over her, as she put her elbows on the windowsill, gazing off. The world had been regenerated, and everything was back to normal. Monsters no longer roamed about the world, and the Desians were definitely rid of. She absentmindedly sighed and set her chin in her hands, her elbows propped. Casting a gaze once more over the town, Colette rubbed her eyes again, removing her elbows from the windowsill.
Yawning, and stretching in her light pajamas she wore, she took her soft curtains and silently pulled them together, the moonlight penetrating the surface of the cover from the window. Walking over to her desk, she blew out the lonely flame, shutting it out in one breath. Walking carefully over to her bed, she slipped under the covers and rolled to her side, looking at the window. Smiling, Colette shut her eyes quickly falling asleep.
'Sweet dreams, Lloyd.'
Daybreak had come as birds chirped silently, singing their song of wakening. It was a grey and cloudy day as the sun was playing hide-and-seek with the sky. What appeared to be a 18 year old boy, was laying with his head on a animal's tail. The animal, which strangely enough, looked more dog than anything, perked it's green ears up and looked around. The two were sleeping in an area they had found, almost by coincidence.
There was an exsphere here, and of course, because of his mission, the boy had destroyed it. After destroying, nightfall had crept up on them, and they fell asleep. Now, in the closed forest around them, a rustling noise came from one of the bushes. The green and white looking dog cringed and whined a bit, it's ears dropping slowly. There was a snicker and that was it. The animal immediately sprung up, and ran out of the forest, leaving the boy. The brown, spiky hair boy was dropped to the ground, his head hitting some soft brown dirt. His eyebrows furrowed together in an annoyed expression as he sprung up, shaking his head, and wiping the dirt off his face and red clothes. "Argh," he spoke, opening his eyes and watching the animal run off. "Noishe, you ding-dong. There's nothing here!" he cried after the animal, which apparently, it's name was Noise.
The boy sighed and looked around, his surroundings suddenly becoming familiar to him. "Oh yeah..." his voice was silent, as he was aware that something was near here. He shook his head and walked out of the forest, when Noishe came back and tackled him to the ground, sending him back and hitting a tree. A worm fell out of the tree, and crawled away into the forest. Lloyd Irving got up and cast a furious glance at the animal. "Why'd you do that?" he yelled, as he saw Noishe walk away, with a worried expression on it's face. "Hey..." Lloyd said, running after the animal. "Get back here, you dope!" he joked, smiling at Noishe.
