I do not own Tales of Vesperia. It is owned by Bandai Namco
Although the story is very different, eventually I explain how everything happened. This is my first attempt, so I appreciate the criticism. I apologize for my English, it is not my dominant language.
Solar beams were openly distributed to all the citizens of Zaphias, wondering how hot it was that morning, while in the direction of the castle one could hear fierce sheets colliding, surrounded by a group of knights who seemed to take advantage of this time to see a small Show. In the middle of this attraction are two knights in charge, one in normal clothes and the other peculiarly wearing black, until the moment the swords collide and remain for a few seconds and the second figure ends up kicking the left leg, making the knight fly back and before he noticed the sword on his neck, which looked more like a katana with a white fist.
The black figure standing in front of him draws sword from his throat, casually places me on his shoulder and says "Do you want to continue?"
"No, Captain Lowell. Could not I have gotten a little light?" The knight replies on the floor as he takes the hand that was thrown by the captain to get up. "Since when will your opponent take you with you in battle, Guren?" Said the captain.
"Sorry, sir" Guren said with a pale face.
"It does not have to be so formal at such times" said the captain with a smile on his face, and the young knight Guren nodded and returned to the "audience" who watched this spectacle. "Uah! With that are 10 wins. And now who's going?" Voices came from the audience that was impressed by the continuous demonstration of fights.
"Next!" Captain Lowell said as he turned to the audience who noticed his unique outfit that was monopolized by black, from his long dark hair with a violet touch, eyes with a dark gray with a certain violet glow. And his overcoat with the same tonality that covered the top and over his dark trousers until he came in contact with his white boot with gold details, with purple details at the end of the sleeves and a smooth line with purple and gold biting the whole end of the tunic that highlighted his golden bodhi blastia with a red gem on his left wrist.
A fever of hesitation contaminated all the knights for a few seconds until an unexpected voice said, "What is it, Yuri?" Looking at the source of the mysterious voice, he sees a blonde, no short hair, no big hairin his captain's clothing, his longtime friend and rival, Flynn Scifo. "To what do we owe your presence, Captain?" Yuri responds sarcastically.
"Seeing what you're doing this time" Flynn said with a suspicious glance at his friend who replied, "Of course, I'm giving battle experience to them." With a sarcastic face. "Come, be my next opponent, I bet it will be a rich experience for them" he said with the same expression as he swung his sword.
"Are you sure? Forgot who won the most in our fights?" He responds with a smile on his face walking to Yuri.
"Forgot who has won the most since we became captains?" Says Yuri putting the sword on his shoulder.
"Any bets this time?" Asked Flynn. "Beyond the taste of defeat ... You have to pay for drinks today" Yuri replied.
"Closed" Flynn said as they slowly walked each other, climbing up their steps and finally running to the other and raising their swords to the offensive. Shocking their swords several times, a smile began to form in both, a smile that signified the taste of a good fight, something only the strong can feel, the pure respect for the strength of the opponent and the appreciation of the fight.
Yuri stepped back two steps and then threw his sword, Flynn perplexed at why the weapon was thrown up until he realized it was a bait, it was too late, his eyes returned to Yuri who was in front of him using his left hand to punch him on the belly "Do not get distracted, Flynn."
"Downstroke" Flynn said, taking two steps back and Yuri grabbed his sword from the heavens with his right hand to strike Flynn's left arm, since he had distracted himself and his sword was in his right hand.
Flynn realizing that he would not be able to escape unharmed, quickly uses his Art "Demon Fang", in response Yuri had the same idea of him and also used "Azure Edge", to the encounter of the two techniques that were with the same force, was solved in an explosion, both retreated to opposite sides of the opponent.
"That was the art of manipulating the enemy's attention, Flynn" Yuri said sarcastically. They looked at each other with a smile, while the audience was amazed at the strength, the fighting and the reaction they showed a few seconds ago.
Their eyes began to grow serious, they adjusted their fighting position, a tense atmosphere occupied at that moment, no one dared to say anything or take their eyes off as they increased their distance, the two captains were preparing to use an Ougi and a question echoed in everyone's head watching that fight "Who's going to win!?"
Before anyone makes any move, a sudden voice speaks "STOP!"
Everyone was stunned that someone would say something at that moment, all tense atmosphere and excitement of the fight disappeared, turning to look for the origin of the voice the captains spotted a woman.
"Hisca! Why did you interrupt us?" Asked Yuri slightly distressed.
"Because? Every time you two fight seriously, I and Sodia have to treat you" Hisca replied with a slight tone of anger.
Both Yuri and Flynn exchanged ollhares and nodded in agreement.
"All right, Hisca. Let's close this way. I think we had enough fights for today. " Flynn said quietly.
Hisca just said "um ..." and walked toward Yuri.
Again Yuri switched Flynn, relaxing their expressions as if they had avoided a horrible event.
"Captain Lowell, you have duties to do today" said Hisca as he approached Yuri. He nodded and looked at Flynn as if he'd said we'll figure it out another time, he shook his head in agreement.
Shit, no doubt has paperwork Yuri thought that detested and avoided to the maximum
The group of knights saw the gesture of the captains with the hand saying to return to their respective tasks and the small show was finished.
Yuri sheathed his sword, which was a katana. His scabbard was not attached to his belt like other knights, but rather loose and he wore a rope to hold his weapon, usually held with his left hand, again escaping the knights' standard, as well as his clothing. Of course, at official events, she was on the belt and he acted according to the standards of a captain, although he did not like it. In fact, the captains had a certain freedom unlike ordinary knights, so Yuri and Flynn had their dress different from the standard.
"Okay, Repede, we're going" Yuri said with a slight sigh.
His canine companion who was lying on the grass, Repede got up and followed him.
Somewhere in the town of Zaphias, two young girls are walking through the city.
"Are you sure you should not have brought some escorts?" The girl with auburn hair asks the friend aside.
"Yes, if you're with me, you do not have the right to be escorted. Besides, you're certainly more powerful than a regular escort, Rita" her friend replied.
Rita blushed slightly at the compliment made "alright, Estellise." Both friends were heading to a clothing and accessories store.
"And here?" Said Rita. Estellise nodded and went in for a certain purpose. A lace with a light blue gem set in a base that resembles a blossoming of a rose.
"I thought, Rita" Estellise said enthusiastically. "I finally found it."
"It's beautiful" said a voice beside the girls that made them look at him. A middle-aged man with neatly trimmed short brown hair with a red wristband on his right wrist, figured he was some nobleman.
Estellise looked at the voice and saw the polite man.
"Thank you" Estellise replied with a smile on her face, maintaining cordiality.
"Gift?" Said the curious man.
"Yes" said Estellise, keeping her smile and formality. She greeted him with a shake of his head, saying that she was leaving and he did the same. Rita glanced at the man and then turned and followed her friend.
"Uhm ... Is there any special reason to be exactly that piece?" Rita said curiously. Estellise only shook her head in agreement.
Addressing the vendor and giving the item to wrap, the vendor reported "15,000 gald." Rita was puzzled, how something so simple could cost so dear, but it was still the simple action of Estellise passing the money and picking up the merchandise and her "Let's go?" Speech that made her even more perplexed.
Leaving Rita even more curious as to why this item is so expensive and important to her.
Finally it's over, he thought, Yuri relaxing in the chair in his living room, looking at the window and seeing that it was already afternoon.
"Hisca, all this paperwork is over, can you hand the documents over to me?" Yuri said as he got up to leave.
"All right, but where are you going?" Hisca asked, picking up the documents.
"Patrol a little, I was not meant to be signing papers" Yuri said as he opened the door and whistled for his partner, Repede to follow.
"Alone?" Hisca said.
"Repede is with me, I'm just going to stretch my legs" Yuri answered and walked out the door.
"I got it I wanted. Where should we go now?" Asked Estellise with a smile on her face carrying her purchase.
"Good…. I have to go to my lab, we can enjoy it and go now" said Rita looking at her friend who agreed.
After some time walking, they met in a large street that had few people, alias was in the late afternoon and soon it would start to get dark. And Estellise with a super happy face, for she rarely managed to leave the castle to walk so freely that she did not even realize she had a person in front of her and bumped into her.
"Excuse me, are you okay?" Estellise asked worriedly.
The man did not say anything, just nodded and moved on, Estellise only sighed and relaxed and continued to walk, until Rita began to face her.
"Estellise, where is the cord?" Said Rita. The friend lifted her right hand, where the pack was before with the cord inside and at the look of the hand was empty, causing Estellise to start sweating cold.
"I lost…? No, she was with me until now ... Rita help me search. "Estellise said, flustered.
Rita simply stopped and looked back and saw the man who was already some distance from them with something in his right hand, a package ... ..Identical to his friend.
"STOPPED! Thief !" Rita screamed and started to chase after the man who had bumped into her friend before. The thief upon hearing this began to run awake, and it was discovered. Rita with her quick analysis of the situation realized that it was not possible to reach the man who was already far away, besides being much faster than them. He positioned himself to launch a long-distance spell and began the casting.
Finally out of the castle, from his living room, especially from his paperwork and duties that were considered "boring" by Captain Lowell, he continued to wander through the town of Zaphias with his partner, Repede. His only desire with this exit was simply to stretch his legs, look at the citizens and enjoy the peace that reigns at that moment.
After some time of patrolling, on reaching the end of a street saw a peculiar situation. A girl with a little low with brown hair shouting "STOP! Thief!" and a man a little further away from this girl starting to run, and looked closely at the respective individual has a packet in his hands, those seconds were enough for Yuri to understand the situation, but the unexpected was that the girl who screamed began to conjure magic. Preaching the security of all and at the same time not being able to let the thief escape, his course of action was decided.
"Repede, behind him" Yuri said as he ran to the girl who was going to look like she was going to blow everything in front of her to stop the thief. "Stop!" Putting her hand on the same girl, making her attention come to him.
"Get out of the way, I can not let him get away" Rita said angrily.
"You want to hit other people too" Yuri replied as he held her hand to the man running. Rita still in anger would start cursing this being that appeared out of nowhere and that was the hero's bench until she was overwhelmed by his words that had some reason. "Relax, he will not escape" the calm manner and sincere look he gave Rita that somehow made her stop.
Attention Rita returned to the man who had disappeared from his sight, again his anger appeared and he again avoided with simple words "Wait here". After that, Rita and Estellise saw Yuri start chasing after the thief, however instead of running down the street, he used a thrust bank to reach a tree and the impulse tree to get on the roof of a house and simply disappeared .
Yuri was not racing at random, he was following Repede's barking as he was getting weaker, so he decided to take a short cut.
Some streets of a possible incident caused by Rita, was the thief without breath of so much running, saying to himself "I got ..." Almost without air to speak.
However, this sensation lasts little when he hears a bark behind him, turning in fear, sees a dog in front of him as if ready to attack him. Taking a few steps back, preparing to run, he knocked on something behind him.
Again turning to fright, one sees the young man dressed all in black holding in his left hand a rope that was binding to a hem. The man smirking said, "What a courage to do it, just because I was against two young girls."
The frightened thief pulled a knife and said, "Get out of the way, if not you're going to die."
Who would be dead to this moment would be you thought to Yuri if he had not stopped the young mage.
"Well let's play a little ..." said Yuri pulling the rope and holding the hem of his sword as he and Repede approached the thief.
After playing properly with the thief, handcuff him and pass him to some knights who were nearby. He looked at the floor and picked up the package that was probably the source of this whole affair.
"Take him, I will soon" Yuri said, addressing the riders who were leading the bandit.
A few minutes later, Yuri returned to the street where everything had originated and looked at two figures, one with brown hair and one with pink hair, stands out in the crowd thought Yuri. The first one seemed to explode, while the second tried to calm her down.
Rita, noticing Yuri's presence, looked at him with a suspicious serious face, but it seemed that if he did not retrieve the package, he would be roasted instead of the thief. "You got it!?" said Rita impatiently.
"Calm down, you almost used magic in front of so many civilians and no doubt someone was going to be hurt, besides the thief" Yuri said, giving the last part of the statement. "But I'm going to let this go, since you were not totally wrong" giving a slight laugh, causing Rita's slight snort.
But what caught the attention of the young captain was a rosy head with anxious, eyes that was visible.
"Is it yours?" Yuri asked as she showed the package to Estellise, she nodded, and Yuri handed it to her, as she said "Be careful, I will not be here next time". She picked it up and looked at him and said "Thank you" "It was nothing", Yuri replied quietly and smiling.
"In any case of witnesses, I need to know your name and where I can find you" Yuri said.
"I'm Rita Mordio, I'm a researcher" Rita said casually, Yuri looked at her for a few seconds as if confirming something.
"The researcher in the service of the Emperor?" Yuri asked, surprised to find her in this situation.
"Yes, something wrong?" She said in an altered voice, as if she had something really wrong. Yuri just smiled and said "nothing, I presume I'll meet you at your lab?" Rita just nodded and then he looked at the pink figure in front of her.
"Is that you?" Yuri said.
"Estellise" answered Estellise in a low voice, as if she did not want to be involved.
"If you need to talk to her, just look for me" interrupted Rita.
Yuri just looked at the two of them, gave a slight smile and said "Okay, careful on the way back."
Estellise's heart clenched when she did not know what happen the cord. When Rita screamed and the man started to run, she did not know what would happen when Rita began conjuring up a spell. Until an all-black figure with long dark hair with a violet touch and a matching garment, with a overcoat that was to his boot and holding a sword in his left hand stopped the front of Rita and managed to persuade her to stop the of the agreement.
Before Estellise could say a word, the figure began to run toward the thief before disappearing. Until he used a bench and a tree to get to the roof and disappear.
Moments later, he returned with his packet in his hand, leaving Estellise very happy, it seemed that enormous weight came out of his back and his heart, wanting to thank this mysterious man a lot. When he had finished speaking to Rita, a small relaxed sermon, their eyes met and she stared for a few seconds until he said, "Is it yours?", She could only nod and he handed it to her. "Careful, I will not be here next time," said the man in black again and again she nodded.
"Thank you" said Esteliise with a smile and deep gratitude.
"It was nothing" he replied, smiling at her.
After asking their names, he left the same way he came.
Looking at that man on the shore, Estellise wondered who he was. He did not look like a knight, the clothes he wore were all black, except that he wore a tunic that went to his boots, and his sword was not in his belt but was held in his left hand. But their interest in their names and locality made her believe she was, but she had never heard of anyone so unique in knights.
The same night, in a neighborhood in the Lower Quarter, two figures had drinks, a man and a woman.
"So, my dear, what brings you here?" Asked the man in a captain's outfit as he took his drink.
"Oh, nothing too much, just in passing" answered the blue-haired Krityan woman with a well-defined body.
"Um ... .. Spending your time with me, I do not stop thinking about why" the man said mysteriously.
"Maybe because I wanted to ... Me and …. You ... "slowly said Krityan making the man begin to imagine what she was going to say at the end, leaving one eye open and waiting eagerly for her speech, making him think of that possible scenario that every man's dream that goes on a pub.
"... ... share ...", continued the woman, as she looked at the reactions of the man next door, who could not even open his eyes with more astonishment.
"... .informations" said the woman with a slight smile on her face and a giggle at the end.
"Judy dear, you can not give that kind of hope ... It hurts my heart" the man said as he signaled to the bartender.
"Do not say that, Schwann, you already have a mistress" Judith said casually with a smile.
"Unfortunately, this lady will be gone for a few days. And out here, I'm Raven, please" Schwann said with a slight sigh.
"Oh, Casey's on a mission, so you're at this bar in the Lower Barracks?" Judith said curiously.
"This is a routine for me, Judy Darling" Raven replied casually, looking at her.
"Well, do not you think it's time to end this routine and put a ring on her finger?" Judith teased him, which brought an unexpected reaction, Raven froze for a few seconds.
Until the door opened and a black figure sat next to Krityan. Raven and Judith looked at the man sitting for the drink, until Judith said, "Captain Lowell, would you like to drink with me?" With a teasing look.
"Are not you going to leave our old man with jealousy?" Yuri said sarcastically. Looking right at the old man. "Alright, old man?" Raising his hand with the drink.
"Do not do this to this old man, all good is short-lived" Schwann said in response to his crony comments.
"What would our dear Captain Casey say at this? Captain Schwann? "Yuri said to Raven with a smile of irony on her face.
"Well ... she probably did-" Raven tried to speak only that it was interrupted by a voice.
"Yuri!"
The trio looked at the port that had been opened and there was a Flynn, who looked like he was hunting a beast.
"Where were you, I looked for you in the afternoon?" Flynn said slightly grumpily.
"Well ... I had issues to solve" Yuri answers. "What? What's the reason for the rush?"
Flynn sat down beside him and asked for his beer and with serious eyes said "The emperor has a mission for you tomorrow."
The trio again looked at him in surprise, the correct expression would be suspicious, why soon Yuri among all the knights?
"For the alarm, it must be another mission with my battalion out of town" Yuri replied casually.
"It's not" Flynn said, making Yuri look at him. "It's a personal mission for you."
"What is it?" Yuri asked curiously.
"I do not know, tomorrow you will find out. And remember it's the Emperor" said Flynn notifying his best friend with a suspicious look
"Okay, I know, you really think I'm going to do something wrong in front of the Emperor, do you?" Yuri looked at Flynn with a confident look.
"I must remember that time you drank too much and almost embraced the emperor? Me and Hisca had to keep holding you" Flynn remembered.
"...We can let this one pass" said Yuri continued drinking his beer and the conversation that night with his friends, while he was curious, which was his mission.
