Legend of Mana: The Story Never Told

I woke to the familiar smell of wood burning, and the feel of my old quilt. Sunlight had beamed through the windows already, and the room had filled with the summer heat of Fa'diel. I wiped the sweat off my forehead with the back of my arm and slowly sat up.

I steadied myself like I had to every morning. I started waking up with funny pains and aches in my head and back, maybe I should get a new mattress. Naw.

"Morning, Cactus." I said. I tried to make it a cheerful phrase, but it came out tired and weary. Cactus didn't say anything. I could never quite figure him out; he would just sit there half the time unless I had some sort of a story to tell. Go figure.

I finally threw my legs over the side of the bed and stood up. First things first, I stretched my arms outward and let them crack. Same with the neck only instead of relief, I got a bit of a pain. Finally, I threw my old shoes on. I'd never outgrown them, which I had only noticed a couple of weeks ago, when Cactus asked me how come I had had them for 2 years. Maybe there was something wrong with me?

I trailed down the stairs and hopped off the last 3 steps like I always had. I felt ready for anything when I did that, sort of boosted my self- esteem if you ask me. It's funny how I act isn't it? You'd figure me out after a while, I mean, Cactus did.

I walked around the kitchen searching for the first bit of fruit or meat. Nothing. I'd have to take another trip to Domina, which for some strange reason reminded me.where were Bud and Lisa?

"Bud? Lisa?" I called out. They were usually around the kitchen, but sometimes they would wander outside and just pace around outside Home. Screw it, I thought. Bud and Lisa were once students at Geo's Magic Academy, I think they'd be fine off on their own for a couple of hours. I decided, I might as well go to Domina now or never.

I walked outside and started down the path. I looked around and found the same sproutling that had been there since I arrived at home. He looked up at me with those huge emerald eyes. He said, "Hi Kayacuu." I walked up to him and stopped a couple of feet from him.

"Hello there." I smiled as I said it. I had a bit of a habit of doing that.

"Where are you going?" He asked in that small child-like voice.

"Domina, we're out of food."

"Bud and Lisa went to Geo."

"Why?" I asked. If they were in Geo, I had a vague idea why they were there.

"They said they wanted to try to get some spell like stuff from that Kathinja lady-person." He said. I was right.

"Ok then, tell me when they get back." I said.

"Bye-bye Kayacuu."

"Good bye." I said, and walked further down the path. I came to the end of the path to the gate I had built for a little pizzazz to the old home. It was one of those white-picket fences. I opened it and stepped out, 'nuff said.

I closed the gate and walked down another path that lead straight to Domina. I heard the distant Church Bells and remembered, it was Dryad day. They always rang the bells to tell everyone something, I couldn't seem to remember, I probably wouldn't of cared anyway.

The path seemed shorter than usual I was right at the entrance of Domina before five minutes was over. Maybe I was closer to Domina than I knew. The wind was blowing the sign that read "Welcome to Domina" gently and smoothly. My blonde bangs got into my face, blocking the view of the sign. I pushed them out of the way and walked on. I caught sight of a new building in the town's center. The building was tall and brown-colored. The door was big and round and bordered with jewels, they looked like Black Pearls, Emeralds, and Lapis-Lazuli. I walked up to the door and admired the jewels for a second or two. I looked to the right of the door and saw a sign. It read "Knights Haven" in fancy medieval letters. I stared at the sign for a long while.

"Could this be some sort of an inn or tavern?" I asked myself. I decided I'd find out for myself. I pushed the doors open and closed them behind me. I looked at the other side of the door, it was just regular oak wood. I turned around and found cases containing only one thing: weapons. There were all sorts of weapons I had never seen. There were daggers made of diamond, swords made of gold, and knives that curved in all sorts of directions. I gazed upon them in awe, the walls were lined with glass cases of axes and shields.

"Another customer, eh?" Came a voice in the back. A man walked out of a door from behind a small counter. I immediately recognized him.

"Long time no see Elazul." Elazul looked at me long and hard. He bolted towards me and wrapped his broad, tan arms around me. He buried his face into my hair and inhaled deeply. I could of sworn he was going to start crying because of something, but that couldn't happen. He was a Jumi. I hugged him back. I noticed that my skin was deathly pale compared to his. He loosened his grip on me. He pulled away enough to look at me.

"Kayacuu, where have you been this whole time?" I laughed.

"Elazul, what was that all about?" I smiled as I said it. He smiled back.

"You were like my first true best friend. I've missed you so much, you just disappeared after you went to the Mana Tree. You didn't send a letter or anything." I thought about what he had said. Since I had defeated the Mana Goddess, things had been a whole lot quieter and calmer. I had totally forgotten about all the people I had met and I didn't think they would really remember me. I guess I was wrong. I looked around his shop.

"I guess you would never have gotten a letter I sent, I had no idea you started this shop." He raised an eye brow.

"How did you know the shop was mine?" I pointed a thumb to the door.

"Only you could've came up with that kind of décor." He smiled.

"You know me to well, Kay." I looked at him.

"Kay?"

"That's your new nickname for me." I smiled at him and went to him. I playfully punched him in the arm.

"You've always been a nice guy, Elazul. Even when you would avoid me as much as possible, I knew you were a good guy." I thought for a moment. "Where's Pearl?" he walked behind the counter and picked up a box.

"She's been out adventuring, she doesn't get lost as much as she use to, and she's been training." I raised my eye brows and widened my eyes.

"Pearl? Training?" I put emphasis on the training part. He nodded and smiled.

"She's quite the little fighter, she's even beaten me!" he shouted cheerfully. He went through the door with the box. I turned back around to look at the fine hammers and axes. I caught sight of an axe. It wasn't just any ordinary axe-it had Jewels imbedded in the blade and handle. Lapis Lazuli and Alexandrite decorated the handle. The Lapis glistened and twinkled. Elazul probably took extra care of the Lapis, which was just my guess. Elazul's core was always beautiful to me, I never said anything about it though. I was always afraid that he would take it the wrong way and think I was some sort of a Jewel Hunter.

"Beautiful isn't it?" Elazul was suddenly standing next to me. I looked at him then back to the axe.

"Did you forge that?"

"Yes." That one word danced over my skin. Elazul's voice was a song in my ears. It was low but not to low, and it always had a sense of youth and energy in it. Ok, so I lusted for him. So what? I mean, he was handsome. And he had a heart of gold. I smiled at the thought.

"What are you smiling about?" Elazul asked. I looked at him.

"Nothing."

"Your smiling about something."

"It's nothing."

"Yes it is." I was starting to get irritated.

"I said it was nothing."

"You can't fool me." He was smiling and playing with me now.

"Why are you so eager to find out?"

"Because, Kay. You never hide anything from anyone." I blinked and hung my head down. He laid a hand on my shoulder.

"You don't have to tell me, I'll drop it." I looked at him.

"Thanks."

"You don't have to mention it." I nodded and looked at him.

"I'm glad I could see you again." He squeezed my shoulder and pulled me into a hug. He wrapped me in his arms long and hard and buried his face into my hair. His greenish hair looked like velvet black against my blonde. He said against my neck, "Me too, Kay. Me too."
