Hello everybody. I think this story will go pretty far. I just want to say that I'm okay with people saying that they don't like my story, but if you do, could you just say what i need to improve on? I'll most likely need it at some point.

Near Triet
3 Days After The Oracle

2:15 P.M

Some people enjoy the desert. Some can barely tolerate it, and like Kaze, some people attempt to stay as far away from the desolate land as possible. Sadly, it was a vital spot for the mission. Kaze had to join the chosen's group before they reached the Triet Ruins, the only place in the region that could be considered a seal.

'But first,' He thought, 'I'll have to restock at Triet.' When he arrived at the enterance of the desert town, he saw something he didn't want to see.

Walking out of town, were desians carrying a boy in red with a little kid with silver hair following. From the look on the boy's face, Kaze could tell that he was scared. Kaze looked away from the desians and continued walking into Triet. He had a mission to accomplish.

It was then that one thought popped into his head...

"Mom! Dad!" A boy cried out with tears in his eyes. They were in Luin, and the Desians were taking prisioners. Including his own parents. There were only two desians there, yet no one in Luin was willing to fight back.

"Don't worry Sion. We'll be fine." His mother said with much doubt in her voice.

"Quiet inferior being!" One of the desians snapped, slapping the woman across the face. Sion looked at the desian angrily.

"Don't touch my mom!" He yelled. He ran at the half-elf, only to be knocked back by a swift punch.

"Sion! Don't move!" His father demanded.

"Damned kid. Can we just kill the brat and move on?" The desian asked to his partner. The other just shook his head.

"We reached the yearly quota for deaths already. You know how Kvar is with those types of things." The desian glared at his partner before sighing and turning around.

"Fine. Let's just go then. But if that kid tries to attack me again, he won't be moving again, quota filled or not.' As they began to leave, a heavily armed warrior walked by. Sion began to have some hope for his parents. That man would save them, right? His hopes were destroyed when the man just stepped aside and continued into town.

"Why didn't you save my parents! You could've beaten those two, yet you just let them continue!" Sion yelled out when the man was right next to him.

"Because..." The man started, "It wasn't my problem to take care of them."

"So what? It doesn't matter if it's not your business! The desians will continue taking people to the ranch if people think like you!" Sion continued angrily.


"You think I care about others? I only care for myself and no one else. If you want to save people, do it yourself." The man said before walking into the inn, leaving Sion all by himself.

Triet Base

3 Days After The Oracle

5:00 P.M

Genis looked at the base with wide eyes. This was where some desians worked. It was quite frightening to think about it. But he had to memorize where the building was. Otherwise Lloyd wouldn't be saved. He snapped out of it when he heard talking.

"I've brought Lloyd." The desian said. One of the guards began staring at Genis.

"Who is that child?" He asked. The man holding Lloyd turned towards him.

"His friend apparently. What should we do with him?" He asked.

"The leader only wants Lloyd. I don't see any need to bring this kid along." The other guard said while grabbing Lloyd. Genis stared at Lloyd being carried away.

"Understood." The desian said. That just left Genis and the two desians remaining. Genis realized that if he didn't act, he would be killed. After 5 minutes of silence, they began moving towards him.

"...W-what's go-gonna happen to me? L-Lloyd forced me to come here. I didn't want to." Genis said, who began crying. The desian that was holding Lloyd a while was getting annoyed.

"All right, all right! Stop crying!" He yelled. As Genis stopped crying, the desian continued, "As a fellow kinsmen, we'll let you go. Now get out of here before we change our minds." The other desian turned towards him slightly shocked.

"Are you sure that's all right?" He asked quietly.

"What can a kid do?" He asked back before turning towards Genis, who was almost gone. Genis turned to him smiled.

"Thank you for freeing me! I'll never forget this. Goodbye !" Genis said gleefully before running off.

As soon as Genis was far enough, he saw that Noishe, Lloyd's lovable dog had followed them.

"Noishe! You followed us? Okay then! Let's go save Lloyd together!" Genis said. Noishe replied with a howl and they were off.

"That kid was a half-elf right?" The desian asked.

"Yeah, what about it?" The other replied.

"I kinda wonder where he's been living. I mean, those clothes can be bought at stores, so he must be from a town." The man said. The other thought about it.

"That's true. And there's no towns around here that like half-elves."

"Yet. One day, we may become liked."

"Not the way we're acting."

"Yeah." Suddenly the heard a muffled cry from next to him. He turned to see his ally on the ground, dead.

"What the?! Whose there!?" The desian yelled out, wielding his sword.

"Behind you," was the last thing the desian heard before a knife was buried into his chest, and his mouth was covered to muffle the yell. Slowly, the desian lost consiousness. The assulter dropped the body and turned towards the enterance.

"I'm gonna do something. I'm gonna stop the desians from doing what they want. Unlike you, damned fighter." He said. Kaze was going in, with a vengence.

"Time to save that kid in red."
