Near Aspio

A hooded figure took a glance behind her, as she danced through the trees which towered above her, making her way through the shrubs and bushes in the cluster of green nature. When she noticed there weren't any life forms beside the plants in sight, she stopped in her tracks. Opening a pouch, she grabbed the bottom and overturned it, spilling it's contents. She marveled at the sparkly gems which lay in a pool before her, the moonlight paling in comparison to the brilliant colors of diamonds, rubies and anything of the sort. She had stumbled upon a treasure trove. Just then, a voice from the surroundings could be heard. "I don't think these gems are yours, are they?" A girl emerged from the bushes. She wore a red and white blouse, with a streak of jet black lined down the middle. A black inner layer appeared from her loose sleeves, and wrapped around her thin but slender feet. The thief took a step backwards, as the new confronter took one forward. And the thief darted into the bushes with unmatched agility.

Rita's point of view

Rita stared after her fleeing opponent. She unbuckled her sash and jumped over the bushes and shrubs, nimble as a fox. She dropped right beside her foe, and sent a fireball headed her way. The thief rolled over to the side, clumsily but still successfully dodging the fireball. She unsheathed her blade and slid to Rita's side, knocking her off guard and sending her flying to the ground. Effortlessly, Rita regain her balance with a somersault and invoked an explosion of rocks at her enemy. Seizing the opportunity, Rita used her opponent's momentary unawareness to her advantage and tripped the hooded girl.

She landed with a resounding "thud", and her gems all dropped out from her pouch, scattered all over the ground. Rita walked forward and gripped her opponent by her collar and asked,"Where did you get the jewelry?"

"F-From...Asp...io," she managed to say, before Rita released her and let her fall to the floor, curling up into a ball. Rita picked up a few diamonds and rubies sent far away, and returned them all into the pouch. "Um...would you return me the pouch? It's a keepsake from my mothe-"

"Then why did you use it to commit a crime?" The girl hung her head in shame, not saying a word. "Okay...If you want it back, work for it." The girl's face lit up, and she turned to look at Rita, renewed hope in her eyes. "Work for it?"

"Yes, join the guild. Have you heard of my guild? The "Brave Vesperia"?"

"Kinda sounds familiar, but I don't I stole anything from your guild. Those that have been pilfered by me, I definitely can remember them."

"What?! How old are you, uh..."

"Alisa."

"Alisa, how old are you?"

"Fifteen. And you? Your name and age?"

Rita frowned at Alisa's lack of etiquette, but answered anyway. "I'm seventeen. Rita Mordio. Call me Rita."

Alisa's eyes almost jumped out of their sockets. "N-No way, you're Rita?! The famed genius mage of Aspio? Who saved the world from the Adephagos with another six two years ago?"

"The one and only," Rita smiled proudly. Alisa stared at Rita skeptically. "Are you sure? The information I learned from eavesdropping in Aspio said that you were calm and sagacious."

"Are you saying that I'm not calm and sagacious right now?!" Rita bellowed in infuriation.

"Well...Yeah."

Rita rolled her eyes in frustration, and walked towards Aspio. She gestured for Alisa to come along, and the young golden-haired adolescent obediently followed.

And thus, their journey began.

Sorry if it's too short. The last part was written in a hurry. Don't worry, I promise to make the other chapters longer. Anyway, thanks for reading and once again, please review it! Hope you enjoyed it!
