Hi! Another story from me! Again, I warn you that I'm not so good at English, so be sure to give me corrections of the mistake I made. This is it!
Chapter 1: WHAT?!
Yo, Isaac! How's new Vale? I'm sure you still remember us. We've promised to the mayor of Vault that we won't be a problem-causer anymore. We agreed to live happily, and guess what? We're out of the jail! Finally! Anyway, do you have the time to visit Vault during your business there? We can have a chat and a little party here. Come with your spiky-haired friend and that blond Ivan!
Best regards,
The thieves you caught on the old days at Vault.
"Wow, Isaac!" Garet gave his friend a 'wow' as soon as he finished reading the parchment Isaac gave him. "You're invited by those thieves?" Garet asked in excitement while they were on their way to Vault.
Isaac sighed. "I too was like, 'WHAT?!' the time that letter reached my house," he answered. "I've told Ivan about this, but he said he'll stay in Contigo for one more week."
Garet started to roll the parchment back to its original form. "Err… Do you think there is something suspicious about this?"
Isaac faced his towering friend and elbowed his elbow. "Hey!" he yelled. "You shouldn't think bad of people."
"Uh—Sorry," the fire adept answered. He looked down to the ground in front of his feet, and stopped right there.
Isaac noticed and turned back. "Garet? What's the matter? We're still quite far."
Garet got down and kneeled with his right knee and took the thing he was looking at, a shapeless yet beautiful purple diamond. Isaac's eyes focused on the diamond. "Do you know what kind of gem is this, Isaac?" Garet asked as he looked closer to the thing.
Isaac took the gem and inspected it by himself for a few seconds. He moved it a bit every second, reflecting the sunray, that was went straight from the top-position sun, making it became more beautiful. From one position, Isaac seemed to find something that attracted his eyes. He got down and showed it to Garet. "Look! See that small black piece over there?" Isaac said in excitement as he pointed to the point where the piece was.
"Hm… So you think we just have got to force that thing out, right?"
"Kinda like that," he answered as he gave the gem back to his friend.
Garet put the gem back to the ground gently. "Get ready!" he shouted, ordering Isaac to stay back. Garet lifted his axe high in the air and crashed it down to the gem with a 'Hyah!' shout. Along with the gem breaking, a flash of blinding light emitted for a second and the gem along with the black piece disappeared.
Isaac face turned like an old man's. "What a weird gem…" he muttered.
Garet laid his axe toward his own shoulder. "Yeah, I think so too," he said. "Anyway, let's continue our way to Vault."
Isaac nodded. "Yeah. We can probably reach it before two."
The two adepts continued their trip toward Vault. They were too lazy to face weak monsters around the place, so they carried along a bunch of Sacred Feathers. Their trip went well until they heard yells of a girl who was struggling in fighting monsters.
"Look there!" Isaac pointed and immediately ordered Garet to come closer to her to lend a hand.
They were a bit shocked that far before they reached the place where the girl was, she had done the battle and finished it flawlessly. What a strong girl! Isaac said as he looked at her from the back. The girl was fully equipped with strong battle gears; axe, armor, greaves, and gauntlets.
"Wow, girl!" Garet shouted in a big excitement. "What a strong physical ability you've got there!" Isaac was following behind him.
The red-haired girl turned back as she noticed she was being talked. "Huh? What?"
"!" the two boys suddenly got shocked the time the girl showed her face. "JENNA?!" they shouted aloud altogether.
"Oh, it's you, Garet," she answered calmly. "And who's that with you? Anyway, you look totally different today. Where's your robe and magic stuff?"
Garet lifted his right eyebrow. "What? I'm always using this! You're the one who's look totally different."
"What?!" Jenna responded angrily. "What do you mean? I'm always with this!" she created a mean look toward Garet. "And you don't have answered my question yet."
"What? This is Isaac! Your s-"
Jenna immediately swung her axe cruelly, intended to chop Isaac, but he was quick and be able to dodge it with ease. "Hey! What's the matter?" Isaac asked as he continued dodging every strike.
"You're the one who killed my parents!" Jenna got angrier.
The two boys became more confused of the situation. Isaac gave an eye signal to Garet to help stop Jenna by holding her. Garet held Jenna tightly, circled both of her shoulders with his arms. Jenna dropped her axe. "What are you doing, Red-head? Are you having a conspiracy with him?"
"What do you mean with conspiracy? I'm Isaac's friend, and his best friend!" Garet shouted right near Jenna's ear.
"COULD YOU PLEASE STOP SHOUTING NEAR MY EAR?!" she responded with devil face.
"Oh, sorry," Garet apologized. "Maybe there's another Isaac out there. Do you know how his face looks like?"
Jenna remained silent for a moment. And then shook her head. "I've never met him."
The jaws of Isaac and Garet dropped, leaving their mouth wide opened. "So why don't you just consider him a kind and friendly Isaac?"
"Tch!"
"Can you?"
She smiled sweetly. "Yes of course!" Garet let go of his hold. Jenna bowed down to Isaac to ask for apologize. "Sorry, Isaac, for thinking you was that evil Isaac." Isaac bowed down as a reply for her. "Are you heading toward Vault? If yes, we can go there altogether."
"Well, yeah, we were heading to Vault," Isaac answered.
"What do you mean with 'were'?" Jenna asked Isaac about the past tense they used.
"Not an actual 'were' actually. We were heading toward Vault until we found a weird, shapeless diamond on the ground," Isaac explained. Jenna lifted one of her eyebrow, seemingly to said, 'Then?' "We found something inside the gem and decided – well, Garet decided it himself honestly – to destroy the gem and take that thing inside."
"Hm?" She frowned. "And then?"
"And we saw you fighting with those apes," he continued. "The thing is, Jenna we know isn't a warrior-type like you."
She shrugged. "Maybe I'm the other Jenna."
"But you two look exactly the same!"
The red-haired girl became silent. "Come to think of it, Garet I know is not a warrior-type like you, but yeah, just like what you think, you and Garet I know have the same face."
"I don't know what's happening but maybe we can follow you heading toward Vault," Garet suggested. "We are about to have a party there."
Jenna's eyes weren't focus; they moved every second, seemed to try to remember something. "If I'm correct, there's no party at Vault," she said. "But I don't know about some secret parties." She started walking. The two followed her and kept walking till they reached Vault.
"I visited Vault 3 days ago, but it isn't a big city like this!" Garet yelled the time he saw the surroundings. It was like Kalay, but even bigger. I wonder what's really happening. He thought.
"Don't be kidding!" Jenna reacted. "Vault is the biggest and the richest city in Yer-awd!"
The boys seemed to be confused. "Yer-awd?" the two asked.
"WHAT?! You guys have lived almost 20 years and do not know the name of Yer-awd?" she responded. "It's the name of the world where we are living now! What the heck you didn't know…"
Hey! It's Weyard! Isaac thought. "Uhm, listen, Jenna. So far that I know, our world is called Weyard, not Yer-awd."
"What? Weyard? Never knew anything about that. You spelled it wrong!"
"What?! You're the one who's twisting the letter's location!" Garet responded.
Jenna crossed her arms. She saw a woman walked passed them but immediately stopped her. "Excuse me, Ma'am. My weird friends are making competition. Just asking, is it Yer-awd or… what, Weyard?"
The woman looked awkwardly toward Jenna. "All of people know that it's Yer-awd. So you've been making friendship with weird people, Jenna." Then, she left.
Jenna faced them back. "Hear that?" she said. "Need another proof?"
"WHA-" "No, we don't. Yes, I just remembered it's Yer-awd. We just remembered things that we have when we were child, and it's called somewhat similar to Weyard." Isaac lied as he tried to stop Garet's blood from reaching his head. Jenna sighed.
"Jenna!" someone called out her name. They immediately looked toward the direction where the call came from. "Why are you out so long?"
"Sst! Isaac, I think I know that guy," Garet whispered.
"Uh… The same thing is in my mind, but I couldn't remember clearly," Isaac replied.
"Em… Sturas? Rasutos?" Garet tried to remember.
"Oh yeah! He's Saturos!" Isaac said finally finding the answer. Jenna and Saturos were chatting at the moment. "Ow, wait wait wait wait. He's the bad guy we were chasing all the way to Venus Lighthouse."
"But he didn't look like an evil man here, Isaac." The two stopped the whisper and back to the reality. The two both got shocked suddenly the time they saw Jenna and Saturos were… uh… kissing.
"HELL! You're doing that thing here?!" Garet responded, perfectly unease with the scene he just saw.
Jenna and Saturos broke the kiss. "Huh? You and Karst do the same thing," Saturos said. I AND KARST?!
"Saturos," Jenna said trying to alert him about something.
"Oh! Oh yeah, I forgot, you're not the Garet I know," he said. "Your face looked the same."
"Hey, Isaac. I can't wait any longer to see what my other self looks like," Garet said. "He's a magic user Jenna said."
"What about my other self?" Isaac responded. "An evil man that Jenna always wants to slay."
"So this is not the Isaac that killed your parents, Jenna?" Saturos asked, making sure things will be okay.
Jenna nodded, "Yep. Just like what I told you."
"Anyway, Jen, we'd like to go to inn and have a nap there," Isaac said, trying to avoid the situation. "If you have something to do with us, we'll be free about six." She just nodded. "Well then, bye!" Isaac shouted as he and Garet turned around and waved their hands slightly.
"This is it, Mister!" Garet said as he gave the clerk coins to rent a room for a night.
"Thank you, Sir! Have a nice stay!" he replied. The clerk gave them the key to one of the room on the 3rd floor. The two adepts immediately heading toward the room and made themselves relax.
Garet sat on the edge of a bed, holding his head with both hands like in a big frustration. "This is driving me nuts!" he yelled aloud.
So? What do you think? Review please! And include your corrections about my mistakes. Thanks!
