A Note From the Author:
Okay, this is my first ever fan fiction that I wrote by myself. I have two others out, but they are joint fan ficcies with Zell Bondage Girl. This fan fiction just basically tells the story of what would happen if the world was once again put in danger and the team had to reunite. I used Angela, Lise and Carlie for this adventure, as I used them the first time I played the game. However, Hawk, Kevin and Duran will all make guest apperances, as well as some other well-loved characters and hated enemies. The first chapter is written kinda weirdly. It shows how everyone was and what they were doing after defeating the Dragon Emperor, from their point of view. So, read and, hopefully, enjoy. Your reviews are greatly appreciated!!! :) *H* P.S. They are all grown up now!!! Hehehehe.
Chapter One: Peaceful Tranquility
Part One: Angela
I awoke to the sun shining down on my face. I yawned, stretching as I glanced at the time. Oh, fuck! I was late for my meeting! Damn, damn, damn!
I got up and hurriedly put on my clothing for the day, washed my face and ran down the corridors, accidently bumping into people as I went along.
"Hey! Watch out!" someone shouted as I brushed past them.
'People have no respect for royalty these days,' I thought bitterly to myself, but, I didn't do anything about it, I didn't have time. I took a sharp left at the end of the hall and opened the door. I stopped for a few seconds, trying to catch my breath, and then walked up, sitting down on my throne, next to my husband.
Alex and I had met a few years back. He was the prince of some foreign country that had fallen, and I was still just the princess of Altena. What started out as a friendship quickly blossomed into much more, until Alex asked me to marry him. A year later, I bore us a daughter, whom I named Lise Carlie. After my two best friends....
Alex coughed, shaking me out of my thoughts. My court looked at me, with a confused look on their face. I cleared my throat, my cheeks turning bright red in embarassment. It had only been 1 year now since mother had died, and I was still getting used to being Queen.
"Let's get down to buisness," I said, with a sweep of my hand, refusing to acknowledge the fact that I was over an hour later. "How goes the treaty with the Navarre Guild?"
The meeting droned on and on, and soon my mind began to wonder again. This time, my thoughts did not lie in my husband or child, but of the two people I had named my daughter after.....
I had met Lise after my mother had tried to kill me, and I had escaped. A fortune teller told me to go to Wendel, so that's where I was heading. But, when I got there, there was a barrier around the entrance, making it impossible for me to enter. I went to sleep in the local village that night, and was awakened by a bright light outside, which turned out to be a faerie. She and I headed back towards the entrance, and Lise was there, trying to figure out a way in.
Lise was the Princess of Rolante, the Wind Kingdom. Actually, she was Queen now, because both of her parents were dead. She was out searching for her brother, Elliot, who had been kidnapped when the Navarre attacked the castle, which now lay in shambles.
The faerie opened the barrier, and in we went. We came across this beautiful waterfall, and saw a small child hanging on it's cliff. She was screaming for help. So, Lise and I pulled her up. She then told us that her name was Carlie, she was the High Priest's granddaughter, and she was out looking for her friend Heath, who had been kidnapped by, who she called, the "bad guys".
Our adventure began there. It went from three seperate missions to one overall need. To restore the world and save Mana. We failed in saving the Mana, but the world was back to it's original state. Magick had been completely deleted, but it was well worth it.
The last time I heard from either of them was about 7 years ago. Lise and Elliot were ruling Rolante together. Carlie was still just plain old Carlie, still the silly little manipulating girl we had all grown to love and adore.
'I wonder what they are up to now?' I thought quietly to myself, ' I wonder if they still remember me, and our journey?... Do they miss me as much as I miss them?'
Part Two: Lise
I drew my spear, and quietly approached the hiding monster. Then, when I was sure that it was a monster and not some wild animal, I let out a wild cry and sent my spear flying through the beast.
The monster let out a small moan and fell over, dead. I put my spear away and wiped my hands. 'Another one down,' I thought wearily to myself. It was one of those hot summer days that never seemed to end. Sweat poured down my back and over my face, but I didn't care. The more monsters I killed, the more Rolante and Elliot were protected. The more confidence I had in keeping my promise to my mother and father.
I slowly made my way back to the kingdom, for the sun was finally setting. When I reached the palace doorsteps, I looked up at the wonderous sight, in complete awe. It had taken us many years to restore Rolante to it's former glory, but we had managed, and now it was if nothing was different. Everytime I went inside the castle, I expected to see my mother and father in the throne room. But, the minute I stepped inside, the cold reality came seeping back into me.
I headed for my room, planning on getting a long and cold bath. "Hey, sis!" Elliot called to me, running to catch up to me. I stopped and looked at him, "What do you want?" I asked, yawning.
"A letter came for you today!!" he exclaimed, happily. I rolled my eyes at him, "Oh yeah? Whose it from?" A sly smile overcame Elliot, "The Queen of Altena, Angela." he replied, as my face broke out in, first, disbelief, then, happiness. "Let me read!!!" I squealed, snatching the letter from Elliot and racing to the privacy of my room, calling out my thanks to him over my shoulder.
I quickly closed my bedroom door and threw myself on my bed, hungrily opening the letter. It had been almost 10 years since I last head from Angela or Carlie. I had begun to think that they had forgotten all about me, and each other.
I let Angela's words pour over me, and closed my eyes, re-reading them in my head. I could almost see Angela and hear her saying what she had written to me.
She said that she was married now, to a young man named Alex, and had a beautiful baby girl, whom she had named Lise Carlie, after us!!! And she was just wondering if perhaps I would like to come to Altena to visit her, that she was going to invite Carlie too.
I wanted to scream and jump for joy. Damn straight, I was going to Altena!!! 'They really do care,' I thought to myself, 'They really do...'
Part Three: Carlie
I put my hands on my hips and sent a furious gaze at Heath, "And just who do you think you are?" I asked him hotly.
Heath laughed, and shook his head. "Carlie, I'm your Heath, and nobody else. You know that."
I couldn't help but smile. Indeed, he was my Heath. He raised his eyebrows, and held his arms out to me, "Still mad at me?" he asked slyly, knowing full well that I wasn't. I shook my head and walked over to him, letting him wrap his arms around me. Our lips met briefly, it wasn't a passionate kiss, but it was a soft one, one full of love and admiration. The ones that I loved the most.
"I'm going to go to my room now, and rest a bit," I told Heath, and started to make my way to my huge bedroom. When I reached my destination, I slowly began to undress for my bath. I walked towards the tub, and the mirror caught my eye. I looked at the image that reflected back at me, and gasped. Then, I realized that I was no longer a child anymore, and sighed, shaking my head and muttering about my ignorance.
Most of the time, I forgot that ten years had already went by. Ten years since we defeated the Dragon Emperor. Ten years since I got my Heath back. Ten years, and I was no longer the little child that I was so used to being.
I no longer spoke of myself in the third person, although sometimes I did it just because it made Heath laugh. I didn't whine as much, and I didn't throw hissy fits... okay.. I didn't throw them as often as I used to...
But, the biggest change had to be the one with Heath... We were no longer just friends.. About 2 years ago, Heath had realized that I was no longer a child, and we begun to date. A year later, he proclaimed his undying love for me, and I was his for all of eternity.
I soaked in the water, letting my mind run over the events of the past few days. I had recieved a letter in the mail yesterday and was shocked to see who it was from. "Queen Angela of Altena to Carlie of Wendel" it had said on the envelope. I had read the letter with Heath, and had immediatly afterwards ran into the village and booked a ship to leave for Altena in a week. It had been so long since I had seen Angela and Lise, I couldn't wait to catch up with them. 'They'd be suprised', I realized to myself, 'the moment that they see me, their mouths will drop open and they'll faint from pure shock'. The idea of that made me laugh, and I dunked my head underwater, Lise and Angela my only thoughts...
