"Iceus wait up" Sapphire said running up to the ice mage. She was wearing her fighting out fit. It looked similar to her fathers but was designed for females.
"What is it?" Iceus said unamused. She was wearing what she wore every day.
"It's a job!" She couldn't help but smile at her light pink haired friends excitement. For some strange reason Sapphire always seems to make her smile even though she was probably the most grumpy and cold person in the gild.
"What kind of job is it?"
"We just have to ketch some none magic using thief's. But the best part is the reward!" She shoved the piece of paper in her face. Iceus couldn't believe her eyes. The bounty was so high she couldn't believe it wasn't a S-class mission."I practically had to fight off the whole entire gild for it. Which includes Lance. Sorry about that." Iceus blushed. Sapphire knew about her feelings towards him even though she denied it every time."With this job we could pay are rent for the next eight months." Iceus tried to change the subject."Then what are we waiting for, let's go."
They sat in a pub. The most likely place they would find the thief's celebrating there victory of robbing another bank." Shouldn't you leave young Missy's, this place is a pub if you didn't read the sign."
"Yep it's a pub and so..."
"I doubt you could handle a drink."
"Try me" She smirked.
"Sapphire please. It's a childish thing to get worked up over this."
"Come on he was the one who challenged me. "
"Fine" It was futile to try and stop her.
The bar tender just stud there speechless."I told you, you shouldn't have done it. Now every body in the bar is going to be staring at us all nig..." Iceus was interrupted by the creak of the pub doors opening."That's them" She whispered
"Really!"
"Yes when have I ever lied about something as serious as this. In fact when have I ever lied!"
"You've got a point"
"Shhh.. there leaving"
"Let's fallow them."
"What else do you think we would do?"
"Ha there you are" The thief's stood there trembling but yet mustered up the courage to say
"Theirs three of us and two of you. You really think you can beat us"
"Why yes I think I can beat you"
"Sapphire, this is my mission to" She ignored her and wen't for a punch. And then all she could see was black.
All Sapphire could feel was cold stone. She barely had any strength to move."So there you are." She finally worked up enough energy to open her eyes. She saw a blond haired boy standing in front of her.
"Who are you and why can't I move?!"
"It's a safety precaution" He ran his hand through her light pink locks."We wouldn't want some one as precious as you to escape." The pieces of events clicked together in her mind.
"You set up the reward."
He chuckled "It's quite obvious that you were desperate for money after all your losing your apartment."
"How did you know about that?"
"I did my research. I could fix your problem with money if you showed me some fun." He whispered into her hair.
"What the hell are you sayi..." A crash came from the wall near her.
She woke up covered in dirt and rock. There was increasing pain every wear. A layer of broken stone wall pined her body to the floor. The pressure slowly decreased as some one seemed to be removing the stones from on top of her."There we go." She could hear a male voice say as he lifted the last rock off of her. Even with all the heavy stones off of her she still felt weak."So you can't move." Her lips were to heavy to move enough to speak so she remanded quite."Oh so that's why." A string toughed at her throat until it finally snapped off. All her energy seemed to pop back into her body. The dark blue hared iron dragon slayer was in front of her dangling a neckless that had a sparkling red stoned charm hanging on it. It must have been some sort of Lacrima designed to take away a wizards magic power which would also result in a lose of strength.
"Arko, wares Iceus!"
"Don't worry Nova has that covered."
"Let me see her." She tried to move her body but just resulted in hurting her self more.
"Don't do that." He rubbed the back of his head nervously."I could carry you there if you wan't"
"That would be helpful yes." She hated looking weak in front of him but she didn't mind being carried. He picked her up slowly being careful not to injure her more.
"Do you know ware that guy went."
"Oh you mean Pang."
"Pang?"
"He's the son of Sting."
"Figures. So do you?"
"No."
"Should have known"
"Sapphire are you okay." The blue haired mage ran towards her. and practically squeezed her to death.
"Iceus, I'm fine. But please can you loosen your grip a bit."
"What happened to you."
"I apparently was kidnapped by this dude named Pang."
"Really? I swear I gonna kill him."
"Iceus I'm fine."
"What are you talking about. You look like you were thrown into a tornado and chewed up by sharks."
"I said I'm fine. You know I've been through worse." Iceus scared her when she acted this worried, but it was still cute how distressed she was about her. Her body was still weak so Arko had to carry her back. Not that she necessarily minded it, but it was still awkward.
More chapters to come. Please review, I would love to hear your opinion!
