"Where are you going now?"
"Ugh, just shut up! I'm going outside!"
"Fine, get back before dark."
"Can't get a break at all! I hate everyone!" I thought, slamming the door behind me.
To start off, I'm a Buizel, male. I live in the region called, Yalso. The region of sightseeing locations. My life became awful when I turned fourteen. My parents died, and it was hard for me. Once they died, I was sent to an orphanage. But they treat everyone badly there. I find myself walking around more then staying in there. And this is where my story begins. Let's start from the beginning.
Once again, I got in a fight with someone, and headed out to cool off. I went to my normal location, Crystal River. It always cleared my head. My life was pretty much horrible. Sometimes I don't know why I'm still here. And just wanted to end it. But that isn't what my parents would want. So I continue fighting, and hope something good happens in my life. But once I reached the river, I sat there for a couple minutes. Till I heard some soft crying. It was pretty strange, due to no one ever here when I was. I called out seeing if anyone replied. But nothing, it was pretty weird. But it continued. Getting up, I started wondering. So I headed where the noise was coming from. Passing some brush, I found a Litten, sitting in front of the water. Confused why there was someone here, I started slowly walking to them. Seeing the water ripple from fallen tears. I called out to him.
"Uh, he- hello? Are you okay?"
He suddenly stopped and gasped. Frozen in place, he just sat there. Stepping right behind him, and placing my hand on him. He stiffen up, with the touch. Then started shaking. He finally spoke.
"Yea- Yeah… I'm fine." He said.
Clutching his eyes to avoid tears falling.
"Why are you crying?" I asked.
"I… I wasn't crying!" He said.
It took a bit. But he finally explained how he was kicked out of his family. Just like I was torn apart from mine. But he wouldn't tell me why. And I stopped asking. We ended up becoming friends quite quickly. Hadn't had one for three years. I told him about my life as well. And we had a lot of things in common. Spending the entire day at that location. He finally cheered back up, even know I was hating everything still. It was nice to have someone nice in my life. Everyone I knew were hateful against me. After the day ended, we both agreed to meet there again. I finally felt happy once again, that feeling was so hard to feel. But maybe I found a new friend, that gave me hope. I didn't even care what everyone said to me when I got back. I couldn't wait till the next day. And fell asleep easily that night.
The next day, I left without saying anything. I didn't want to bother with anyone, and quickly made it to the river. Reaching it, I waited. Once Litten showed up, he looked worried. I questioned him and he said.
"I guess… I should tell you the truth..." Sounding scared.
Agreeing, I listened.
"We don't have much time… I don't have much time. The reason why I was kicked out of my family… It's because a curse was put on me. And it's slowly killing me. I really don't want to leave, even after meeting you..." He said, starting to cry.
I was shocked. Asking how long he had this on him, he said four days ago. And he may only have another week left. I felt like crying. But I couldn't do anything. And I hated myself for it, I was so useless. After standing there in shock for a bit. He farewell me for today. After he went out of view, I fell to me knees. Anger filled me. I didn't want to sit back and watch the only thing I cared about die. Just wither away, I wasn't going to do that. But I didn't know what to do. I was pretty much useless, there wasn't anyplace I could go. There wasn't just a cure sitting around. Slapping myself a couple times, I got up and walked back. Getting back to the place for my home, I fell asleep. Trying to figure out what to do.
"Ruby Caves..." A voice echoed in my head.
"Ruby Caves… Deepest level..." It continued echoing.
"The caves!" A demonic voice shouted.
After that, I shot up sweating in my bed. Heart beating so hard, it hurt. Wondering what in the world that dream was, I checked the time. Only 3:20 in the morning. Trying my best to fall asleep again, I finally did.
"Ugh… Wh- what?" I said.
I wasn't in my bed anymore. I was in a cave system, pretty sure ruby cave. I could only crawl. Looking up, I saw some kind of scroll. With red and blue textures, it was confusing. But I regained my walk and reached out for it. Grabbing it, the scroll suddenly opened. Floating midair, it showed a map. Showing about five locations. Memorizing them before it closed, I awoken. Sun shining and everything. Wondering how long I slept, I checked. 4:10PM. I was pretty shocked, but quickly got ready and ran out. Heading to the river. That dream was probably telling me something. I've heard tails of scrolls being scattering around the region. For protective reason. Like Yuka with the eight stones. Or Jalso with eight staffs. Each region had eight objects for each of it's guardians. And ours were some kind of scrolls. Holding some legendary power. But no one ever seen them, so I thought they were fake. After making it to the river, I found Litten. Sitting there like last time. He noticed me approach and gave me a cold hello. After telling him of my dream, he thought I was lying. Telling me theirs noway to reverse this. And he pretty much accepted it already. But I was going to show him. And dashed to the first location. Apparently Ruby Caves. I'll save this life. And not like someone else I'm close with die...
