I. Eve
Hot.
Extremely.
Eve, for the umpteenth time, wished for wind. Yes, she couldn't feel it, but her circuits were starting to glitch. Altera was a usually cool country, but not today.
"Sweet Lady El, what I would give to be in Hamel..." Agatha, a fellow Ponggo moaned, her Southern drawl in full force.
"We're almost there, Agatha. You are not required to accompany me." Eve said patiently. To be honest, the Nasod queen wasn't even sure why the Ponggo was here in the first place.
"Well, someone's gotta be there to protect ya, yer Majesty!" She boasted loudly, "And I'm just the Ponggo to do it!"
"I have Oberon and Ophelia." Eve stated flatly.
"Aw, no need to bother them for something so small! I'll get rid of 'em lickety split!" Agatha laughed loudly.
Eve suddenly felt a headache coming.
I. Chung
Chung sat in his room. It was dark, and cold. He pulled his scarf closer, and fell onto his bed. His pistol clenched tightly in his hand. He closed his eyes. His finger slowly slid to the trigger, if only -
His door suddenly opened. Chung's eyes flew open, and he slowly sat up. Lucy, a young woman with deep brown hair in perfect ringlets, stood in front of him. The ajar door was letting light flood in. He squinted.
"No time for moping, Chung. Penensio has asked for you." She touched his shoulder. He brushed her off harshly, and stood up. Chung grabbed the door handle—Lucy's hand slid over his. Her other arm was draped around his waist, and her face was pressed into his back. He sighed.
"Don't be sad." She mumbled.
"What makes you think I'm sad?" He gripped the handle tighter.
"Your eyes. Your sad, sad eyes."
"I'm an assassin, my eyes have seen the unbearable."
"You'll find her. The person that fills the empty void in your heart. Even if it's not me."
"That person," he spat, "doesn't exist."
x.
"Ah, Chung. You're here." Penensio smiled.
"You're showing your wrinkles, old geezer. What do you want?" Chung said sharply.
"You've heard of Altera, correct?" The older soldier continued, ignoring the rude response.
"The recluse country? Who hasn't?"
"Don't call it that," Penensio said sternly, "that's disrespectful."
"Tell that to the rest of Elrios."
"Moving on, Altera is currently the only country that has not been invaded by Ran and his demon army."
"Okay...and?"
"Altera is under the protection of many things. The Nasod Twins, Crow Rider, and the Altera Core. The heart. They also have a Nasod army. A large one. All of those resources could be very helpful for Ran's defeat. We want to form an alliance with Altera."
"Then do it."
"Here's the problem: The queen of Nasods, Eve, is a very private person. I don't even think anyone outside of Altera has seen her face. We've sent her countless messages, and she has never answered any of them. We need an ambassador."
"What? You want me to march in there, murder her, and take her kingdom and resources?"
Penensio stared at him. "No...I was thinking more of a...less sinister way."
"Oh."
x.
"Hell no. I am not going to play peacemaker. You go do it. You're nice."
"You're the White Wolf of Hamel. The assassin that never misses. Everyone knows who you are. Surely, if you request an audience with Eve, she'll agree."
"The onbly reason they know me is because they're scared of me. I kill people. I doubt she would want to be in the same room as an assassin."
"Sure, but they still respect you."
"They also respect you."
"I'm busy. And you need something to take your mind off of - " Penensio was cut off as a bullet sailed past him. He felt a stinging sensation on his cheek. Warm blood trickled down his face.
"Fine. I'll go run your stupid little errand. But if you mention that again, I will kill you."
I. Eve
She slumped into her titanium throne, the material was cool against her overheated back. Daily rounds were torture today, she has a migraine, and Adel was suddenly walking in. Adel was the Chief Ponggo, he was a kind and wise friend to Eve. He was very flustered looking.
"Your Majesty, we have a problem." He cried. She felt herself rising despite the protests of her legs. Adel led her out of the Core, and back into the heat. She had forgotten her parasol and the sun was in her eyes. The Ponggo led her to the Black Crow. It was Altera's war ship and the entrance to the country. But it has been closed for a long time. Instead, it flies the elderly residents of Altera to wherever they need to go.
The twins, Ignis and Leviathan—who never leave the Altera Plains, unless there was a serious problem—were towering over someone. Eve quickened her pace. Leviathan seemed to sense her coming and turned around. Ignis followed, both went down on one knee. The stranger was a sight. He was tall with creamy blonde hair that was brown at the tips. His cerulean eyes were very defined and very blue. He wore white-clad armor, and a blue scarf was wound around his neck. He seemed unbothered by the heat.
He was breathtaking.
I. Chung
She was beautiful. Snow-like hair, pale skin, with eyes like molten gold. The platinum crown on her head glistened.
You'll find her. The person that fills the empty void in your heart.
That person doesn't exist.
For a fraction of a second, he wondered if the Queen of Nasods was going to be that person. But that was never going to happen. She was like an angel.
Her radiance would destroy him.
Author's note: GUESS WHAT'S BACK!? YUP, ALLIANCE IS BACK AND IN FULL FORCE! I know it's a bit different from the old one, but that's why this is a reboot! I wanted to give Chung more depth so his personality has been altered just a tad. ;P And Lucy is no longer an annoying bitch that is the stereotypical annoying bitch with no personality. She's going to be an annoying bitch, but with a little more taste. :D
