Puff of Lime
Chapter 1. The Only One Remain.
SY 476.
In a bar, a girl sat alone with an empty face, only her lime green eyes that moved to close and open, while her body did not move at all.
It has been a year since that useless war, but still, I can't get rid of it from my memory, not that I want to forget about it. I just don't want to think about it, especially, about Master Luc and Sarah's death, also about him.
I was supposed to hate him since he was the part of the army who defeat Master Luc. But even if he was there that time right before my eyes, I couldn't do anything. I was just standing while looking at him. I was supposed to kill him because he saw what I hid behind my mask, my face.
And because of that small mistake, I never feel safe. I keep on thinking what if he decided to expose me. After all, he the only one who knows my face, besides, Master Luc and Sarah.
Of course, Harmonia is also searching for me, but, I don't need to worry about them. Sooner or later, they will give up. The only clue they have about me is blond hair, and who knows how many blondes in this world.
"Hey, miss, do you want to order something or what, you have been sitting here for hours." A man in front of me said.
"Is that a problem for you, sir?" I said nonchalantly.
"If you don't know, I am doing business here, if you have no order, get out from my bar."
I sighed. "People these days just care about money, fine, get me some wines."
He looked at me strangely. "Are you old enough to drink?"
"Not yet, I am 13, but why would you care? No one will arrest you because you give a minor some drinks, right."
"What about your parents?"
"I am a runaway. Can I get my drinks now!"
"What a naughty girl you are." The man placed a bottle of wine in my table.
"I know. You aren't the first to say that, also it isn't the first time I have some drinks."
I tasted the wine. "Mhmm, it's good."
The man laughed. "I know. That's from Toran."
"Toran, you said."
"Are you from Harmonia?"
I raised my eyebrows. "Did you say that because I have blond hair?"
"Not only that, you dressed like Harmonian."
"I did live there before, but, I am not originally from there."
"Oh, so where are you originally from?"
I smiled wickedly. "I am and this wine came from the same country."
"Toran huh."
I gave him the empty bottle and said seductively. "Thanks for the treat, sir."
"Treat? What do you mean?" I then disappeared with the wind, while the bar's owner shouted and ran outside his bar. "Hey, give me my payment!"
I landed outside the city. "Maybe, I shouldn't have made a scene like that. I only made myself more suspicious."
"Well, what's done is done. It's time to leave Vinay del Zexay after all."
I have been knocking around like this from Harmonia just to get there. Although, I am not even sure, why did I go? My feet just went on by themselves to go to that place, the place where I knew he will be there. I only know one thing, I went there to meet him. That's why I go to Budehuc Castle.
{G~S~III}
Budehuc Castle was crowded because they were celebrating the end of the Second Fire Bringer War. Everyone looked so busy and had fun. Many waves of laughter were heard at every corner of the castle.
In a room, 3 men were discussing something.
"So, do you get something regarding your mission, Nash?"
"Not yet, Lord Sasarai."
"We have to find her before Harmonia does."
"I will find her, Lord Sasarai."
"You may leave, Nash."
"Yes, sir." Nash bowed to Sasarai then left the room. Sasarai was still looking at the door where Nash just left.
The other man approached him. "Bishop, why did you want to find her?"
"Dios, she will be killed if Harmonia finds her."
"That is acceptable after what she did in the war."
"Well, I just feel I need to protect her."
"Did it have something to do with Luc?"
Sasarai laughed. "Perhaps, after all, she is Luc's apprentice. It's like she is a legacy left by Luc, that's why I feel I have to protect her?"
"Also, Luc must want me to do it." Sasarai thought.
"Did she even survive the war?"
"She survives, I don't think she even inside the ruins that time," Sasarai said. "Dios, do you know where is Albert?"
"No, sir, after that war he disappeared."
"What about Caesar?"
"He is here, but I don't think he knows where Albert is."
"I see."
"Speaking of him, just know I saw him sleeping near the lake."
Sasarai chuckled. "That's just like him."
{G~S~III}
At the entrance of the castle, as usual, Cecile was guarding it. On the distance, she saw a girl with indecent clothing, she wore a sleeveless red shirt which also revealing her still developing cleavage, and she wore a short green skirt which ends above her knees, and she wore blue tights and yellow boots. She also wore yellow gloves, red neckerchief, and glasses. She carried a backpack on her back.
Cecile greeted her when she arrived at the entrance. "Welcome to Budehuc Castle, what is your business here?"
The girl smiled. "Hi, I come here to enjoy the celebration. By the way, do this castle have a library?"
"Of course, it's a good one too. The librarian, Eike, takes good care of it." Cecile peeved.
"Sorry, I don't mind to offend this castle. It just, it has been a while since I got a good reading."
Cecile bowed. "Oh, I am sorry."
The girl laughed. "So, do this castle have a historian?"
"No, I don't think so, why do you need a historian?" Cecile said while thinking.
"I planned to become one, since, I have nowhere to go and I began to run out of potch."
Cecile's face became bright. "You want to work here? Master Thomas will be happy, let's go meet him." Cecile dragged the girl all the way to Thomas's office. Then, without stopping Cecile opened the door and entered it, which made the people inside bewildered by her antic.
An old man approached her. "Cecile your behaviour is improper!"
Cecile bowed. "I am sorry, Sebastian, I am just too excited."
"Why did you leave your post?"
"Ah! You're right, Sebastian, I am going back now." Cecile exited the office, no one realized the other girl was there because they still bewildered by Cecile's antic.
The girl coughed to get their attention.
"And, who are you, miss?" Sebastian examined her.
"I am looking for a job and a place to live here, do you have any?" The girl started.
"What kind of job is it?" The younger man in the room asked.
"I don't mind whatever is it, but if I may, do you need a historian? I was graduated from Harmonia."
The 2 men looked at each other.
"What do you think, Sebastian?"
"I think we do need one, Master Thomas. The library looks like a haunted place with only Eike there."
"I agree." Thomas laughed.
"Did that mean I got the job?" The girl said.
"Yes, you did. But, we kind of have limited room. Is it okay with you to share a room?" Sebastian explained.
"That's fine, who will become my roommate?"
"You will share a room with Cecile, the Commander of Castle's guard," Sebastian answered.
"You mean, the girl just now, great, I will have a good time. Thank you for everything."
Thomas gave her some papers. "Can you fill these papers?"
The girl took the paper and filled it, and then, she gave it back to Thomas.
"I hope you enjoy your stay here," Thomas said while shaking hand with the girl.
"Of course, then, I will excuse myself." She approached the door.
"What is your name?" Sebastian asked.
The girl took something from her pocket and then threw it to Sebastian. "Here." The girl then left.
Sebastian caught it. "What is it, Sebastian?" Thomas looked puzzled.
Sebastian placed it on the desk. It round, green and had a sour smell.
"Isn't it Lime Fruit?" Thomas said to make certain.
"Yes, why would she give it?"
Thomas looked at the paper she just filled and looked at the information about her name.
'Lime.'
{G~S~III}
The girl walked around the castle looking for something or perhaps someone while looking around she bumped into someone without realizing it.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Someone from her back shouted.
She turned around and faced with 2 men.
"What did I do?" She said nonchalantly.
"You bumped into Lord Sasarai."
"It's fine, Dios."
"Did I do that? I am sorry?" She bowed to them and left.
"What a rude girl!" Dios ranted.
Dios kept on ranting while Sasarai examined the girl from behind.
The girl stopped in front of the lake to enjoy the wind, on the ground she saw someone sleeping, she approached that person and stood beside him.
"I am jealous that you can sleep so peacefully, while I can't have any peace at all." The girl remarked.
The person opened his eyes and looked to his left. He only saw someone's back. So, he stood up to get a good look on her.
"You! The masked magician." He shouted after he looked at her face.
The girl closed his mouth and hugged him. "Where? I don't see anyone, you must be dreaming."
The girl then released him but she still closed his mouth with her right hand. "Now, listen, redhead. If you don't want to die, you better watch your mouth, or this dart will cut your throat."
The girl showed the dart in her left hand. "If you need a name, then, call me Lime." She then released his mouth.
He back away from the girl. "What are you doing here? The war is over?"
She smiled wickedly. "Keep your voice down, I come here to meet you."
"What do you want from me!" He demanded.
"I want to make sure."
He raised his eyebrows. "Make sure about what?"
"About whether you have any intention to expose me or not. I never have any peace because of you."
"Why would I want to do that?"
"You know, you are the only one who knows my face."
"What about Albert?"
She scowled. "Oh, that brother of yours? Why would you think he knows?"
"If that so, then, why didn't you kill me that time? Why would you let me go?"
"I have my reason."
"What about Harmonia, aren't they searching for you?"
She laughed. "They got no chance."
He looked at her weirdly. "Aren't you underestimating them too much?"
"They won't even think I was the masked magician. I mean, I don't look suspicious at all."
He rolled his eyes. "You suspicious already, they will find you."
"What do you mean?"
"You better change your hairstyle." He said while looking at the green hairpin in the back of her hair.
"You mean that hairpin, right. I won't move it, that's a gift from Sarah. Even though it was the same hairpin I use as the masked magician, I just can't let go of it."
"Then, as I said, you are suspicious. Someone will realize about it."
"I don't care."
"Why not? You care about my intention."
"That's different."
He looked at the dart that was still in her left hand. "I don't know you use dart, I thought you use the rod."
"You mean this." A rod materialised in her right hand then disappeared. "I use both. But, when I was the masked magician I only use a rod, now while I am like this I only use dart, it will make me less suspicious, right."
"Oh, did you wear those clothes because of that too." He said to indicate her indecent clothes.
She laughed. "No, I wore it because someone said I dressed like Harmonian. Actually, this is my old clothes."
"So, that's why it doesn't seem to fit you." He averted his eyes from looking at anything inappropriate.
"Where is the woman who always takes care of you?"
"You mean Apple, she just left to Toran."
"You didn't go with her."
"No, we aren't travelling together anymore."
"Why not, where will you go anyway?"
"I will continue my study in Harmonia."
"Studying, huh, I thought you fed up of it."
"That's true."
"Well then, I don't think we will meet again, so farewell Caesar." She then walked away with a big smile but unseen by Caesar.
Caesar looked at her uncertainly. "Fare...well Lime."
She then turned around and shouted. "I will be here if you want to meet me." She waved. "Bye."
Caesar looked confused.
A puff of wind blew at the girl retreating form and Caesar.
That's my original character, Lime, Luc's apprentice also known as the masked magician in the war. What do you think? I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please be kind to me and review it. Thank you for reading my fan fiction.
