Also! This is like an introduction, nearly no plot in this WHATSOEVER!
Presea:
It has been nearly a year since time has started to flow again. Thought my body has obtained the figure of a 16 year-old girl, my mind has endured nearly twice that time. Most of the emotions I had lost during the Cruxis Crystal experiment have returned to me. Happiness, sadness, vengeance, anger, and many more have returned, though a few of the more complex emotions have so far eluded me. Yet, with Lloyd's help, I continue to regain my senses.
Lloyd... For some reason, I have a feeling of yearning towards him. It's difficult to explain the 'fuzziness' that envelopes my innards whenever I see him. He's always happy, determined, and perseveres through hard tasks no matter what happens. He's been nice to everyone, including me, even when I have done many terrible things to him or his friends. I had once handed over Colette to Rodyle, Lloyd could've left me behind for me to survive on my own, but he still helps me anyways. There's something else too, he can sympathize with me. We both have known that pain of losing one's parents. Perhaps this is why I feel this way towards Lloyd...
"Uh... Presea?" Lloyd's voice brought me back to my senses, "You ok?"
Lloyd:
"Uh... Presea?" I said uncomfortably, "You ok?" Presea shook her head as if she was waking from a dream. She probably realized that she had been silently staring at me for nearly 5 minutes already. She blushed and tried to turn away and sharpen her axe
'Hmm... Maybe it's the soup' I look down at the cream of mushroom I made for dinner this night, 'Maybe there's something in it she doesn't like or something...'
I've been with Presea for nearly a year, and I could tell if something was bothering her or something. I quickly decided to ask what was wrong, I was pretty sure it was my soup.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I got up and sat down beside her.
She turned around and her cheeks were slightly flushed. "Oh... Nothing..."
"You sure?"
Presea stared at a wall of the cave we were in, like she was thinking about something. "Uhm... Lloyd?"
"Yea?"
Presea:
Lloyd seemed to be expecting something, so I cannot stop talking, "Do you... D-do you care about me?" 'Why am I stammering?'
Lloyd missed the hint, "Of course you dork! You're my friend!" he said this rather cheerfully, Lloyd was... simple, he doesn't seem to get the true messages I encrypted in what I say. But, then again, that's another thing I like about him. Lloyd looked out from the cave we were taking refuge in; it was starting to grow dark.
"We still haven't found the Exsphere vault..." he sighed.
He was right; we have spent nearly three weeks searching for a vault in Haima's neighboring forest. Our objective was to destroy remaining Exspheres, releasing the poor souls who were trapped within. So far though, we have destroyed roughly a quarter of the world's Exspheres. That didn't matter though, as long as I am with Lloyd, I'm happy. Lloyd smiled and looked outside the cave, the moon was shining brightly. I just stared at his partly illuminated face, and a feeling rushed over me... was it happiness?
Lloyd:
Sometimes, Presea randomly starts to stare at me from time to time with a strange look on her face. Is there something wrong with me? A rustling sound within the bushes near our cave interrupted my thoughts. I grabbed my Material Blades and Presea readied her Gaia Cleaver axe as two figures came into view.
Meh, I have two chapters already written, I'll be posting it in like 5 minutes...
Give me some reviews, why it is bad or good or blah, this is kinda my first story EVER so yea...
