Chapter 2.
Ellyn and Kazu sat on Ellyn's bed, gazing at the mysterious book. They opened the book and looked at the first page. They both looked at each other and continued to flick through the pages.
All the pages were in a different language, but the names at the top of the pages were in english. Ellyn stared at the page and seemed entranced by it. There was something about this book that drawed her in and at the same time gave her a bad feeling. And her bad feelings were right most of the time.
Ring Ring!
Ellyn jumped as Kazu's phone began to ring and Kazu smiled sheepishly. " Don't do anything to that book until i come back." Ellyn nodded and watched as Kazu disappeared into their shared bathroom. Though the bathroom is full of Kazu's hair-gel and other things. She didn't mind as Kazu's hair-gel smelled like strawberries and chocolate.
A weird combination but she liked it, and she often used it herself. She looked at the book again, there was something about it that made shivers run up and her spine and the room seemed cold for some reason.
She got up and searched for her favourite jumper when she saw something multi-coloured slide in front of her, odd it looked like fog. She turned towards the book and saw the multi-coloured fog was coming from the book. In a matter of minutes the room was full of this multi-coloured fog and Ellyn felt really cold and the fog was making her head hurt.
" K-Kazu!" She called out, she was feeling really weird. It was like the fog was inside her head. Ellyn closed her eyes and tried to concentrate. Kazu opened the bathroom door and was instantly swamped in the multi-coloured fog. He blinked a few times and saw Ellyn on the floor, lying on her side.
" Ellyn!" He ran over and saw that she was pointing towards the book and she was mumbling under her breath. He picked her up and headed for the bed where the book was. He didn't know why but he had a feeling that whatever was going on, it was because of the book.
" Badrah saheem toukar." What the hell was Ellyn saying and why was she so cold? Kazu put her on the bed and watched as she scrambled towards the book.
" Ellyn? Whats wrong." Kazu asked and she stopped in what she was doing. Ellyn turned to him, her eyes glowing within the fog.
" Ivalice needs help." Kazu noticed that Ellyn's hand was on the book and that the damned thing was begining to glow aswel. " The Mist will take us there."
" Ellyn!-"
Leon sat in a cell for what seemed like the thousandth time since he left Archades and the Imperial Army. Why do people think he is going to invade them? He just wanted to be a sky pirate again. He sighed and lay down on the uncomfotable bed thing he was given.
Leon was a loner at heart but there was a problem in itself. Everyone was drawn to him like a magnet, and no matter how he treated his crew, they wouldn't leave him and it was becoming increasingly annoying. He just wanted to be on his own, that was why he left the Archadian army.
Leon didn't have any family, his mother anf father died when he was nine and his younger brother is missing. So Leon naturely thought his brother was dead. He closed his eyes and thought about getting some sleep, well there was nothing else to do.
He had just about closed his eyes when the room dropped a few degree's, he sat up instantly, the only thing that had the power to cool and heat up a room so fast was Mist; a powerful magick source that would boost your spells but if too hot can have a terrorfying effect on Viera's, it enrages them to a point of violence or to the point where it weakens them. Though it's mostly the violent one that effects them the most.
Leon stood when he heard shouting and heavy foot-falls, what the hell was going on? Three guards walked in, two of them carrying a girl that looked too young to be locked in a cell. The third guard glared at Leon.
" Do you know her Imperial?" God was Bhujerban's born stupid? Leon looked impassively at the guard.
" No, but what did she do?" He wasn't going to say that he left the army, it just gave them a reason to hold him longer, though Leon would escape eventually but at the moment he couldn't be bothered.
" She was found in the palace library and there was Mist so thick you could hardly see." The guard said with contempt and then left with the other two. Leon looked at the girl in the next cell, she was about five foot four with long blond hair, but there was something about her that seemed off. Like she didn't belong..
Leon shrugged it wasn't his problem and sat back down, he will ask her though. He lay back down on his bed. So the girl had somehow got into the palace library, well that was no easy feat. Nor was actually getting into the palace itself. The girl groaned but she obviously was still unconscious.
Now all Leon had to do was wait for the girl to wake up. Great..
Elka sat in a tavern drinking some Bhujerban madhu. She scoffed as Cale collasped against the table, why couldn't anyone hold their liquor as well as she could? She took another sip as a obviously drunk man came over to her, probably to chat her up but as soon as the man reached her table. Elka pulled out her gun, slamming it on the table and giving the man a warning look.
The man instantly scampered off and went back to the bar, to down more booze. Elka holstered her gun and sat back in her chair, she liked being able to scare the living hell out of people, it was fun. Especially when it was Cale, though she didn't dare to scare the man when he was drunk.
Cale could be strange when he was actually drunk and conscious, that was why she had her gun with her, if Cale became strange, she would shoot him. Ha that would get him sober. She sighed, why did all her thoughts have to be the stupid idiot next to her? Why couldn't she think about Leon or something?
Elka let out a small growl when Cale decided her arm would be a lovely pillow, she pulled out her gun and smacked him over the head with it. Cale yelped and held his head, giving the sharpshooter a dejected look.
Elka was about to hit him again when she over heard something.
" Yeah they caught an Imperial signing into the Aerodrome, and now they say there was an attack in the palace-" Elka didn't bother to listen to the rest, she was up and dragging Cale out of the tavern. Leon was in jail again. Though she knew the man would be fine but she couldn't help but feel that they'd be staying longer then necessary if they didn't help their anti-social captain. She stopped and dropped Cale, first things first; get Cale sober.
She pulled out her gun and fired it at the drunk brunette, Cale stopped in his mumbling and stood up, fully paying attention now. It was like a reflex; get shot, act sober. Or else.
" Leon is in jail again and he's probably being blamed for this attack on the palace, so they probably aren't going to let him go easily, we'll have to call Larsa to help us." Cale nodded and pulled out his phone, he started to call the others when he heard something from above.
" Hey Elka, isn't that one of the Imperial fleet ships?" Elka looked up and smiled, she grabbed Cale sleeve and started to run to the Aerodrome. If her thoughts were right, then on that ship was Larsa and Leon's ticket out of jail. Elka barely noticed the others joining her in the sprint to the Aerodrome.
Leon woke up to someone moving around, he opened his eyes and looked at the cell next to him. The girl was finally awake and looking a little lost. He sat up and saw her jump and stare at him like he was about to eat her or something. He could tell she was starled to find herself in prison.
" Easy." Was the only thing he said at the moment, he didn't want to scare her even more. The girl continued to walk round her small cell, until she finally spoke.
" W-where am I?" Her voice was soft but also filled with fear and confusion. She looked round again, probably trying to find anything she reconized.
" You're in Bhujerba and in prison." Leon stood up and walked over to the bars that seperated them. She tentatively took a step forward towards him. Glancing round nervously.
" Whats your name?" The girl looked at him before fully coming to the bars. Leon noticed her eyes were of the brightest blue he had ever seen. She was thin but not the ridiculously thin. She was small and frail looking, and Leon had a sudden urge to protect her from the Bhujerban gaurds that were bound to come soon. And that was an oddity in itself, because Leon does not get urges.
" Ellyn.." Leon gave her a smile, it would probably be best if he calmed her down a little. " I-I don't know how I got here.." Ellyn looked round once more, she couldn't remember anything and she meant anything, all she could remember was her name.
" Some guards found you in the Palace library." Leon watched as Ellyn began to chew on her lip, a sign of uncertainty. The door opened with a bang and he saw as Ellyn shrink back from the front bars, curling up on the bed. He could tell she was frightened and in that instant, made a promise to look after her from the guards.
" Who are you! And why was you in the Palace library?" The guard all but screamed at her, making Leon's patience slip a little, couldn't they see that she was scared? And it was a rubbish way of interigating someone. He started to think of a plan. But that wasn't needed because he already had one.
" Hey! Leave her alone." Leon said stepping up to the front bars, the guard looked at him and sneered. Oh yeah he had got the guards attention. The guard looked between him and Ellyn before waving his hand to the others in a silent order.
Leon smirked mentally as the guard opened the door to the Ellyn's cell and grabbed her arm, dragging her from the cell. One of the other guards came in then, opening the door to his cell and the first guard threw Ellyn into his cell.
He caught her in his arms as the first guard did push her in a little roughly, she felt as delicate as she looked. She was wearing what looked like a uniform of some sort. The blazer and skirt was black, the knee-high socks were black with a white criss-cross detail. Her shirt was white with a black, red and light blue tie. Her shoes were also black with a small heel.
The gaurds laughed and walked out the room, okay, now that pissed Leon off a little. Time to escape. He looked at Ellyn who was tense and frightened. " T-thank you." Leon let out a small smile, it wouldn't hurt him to be a little nice.
" You're welcome, I'm Leon and we are going to get out of here." Ellyn looked up at him, uncertainty. Was they really going to escape from prison? Leon rubbed her shoulder as a sign of comfort though he doubted it helped much.
" That won't be necessesary." Leon looked over at the door only to find the Marquis Ondore and Larsa, along with Elka and Haru, standing there, Elka looking a little miffed and Haru looking worriedly at Ellyn.
The Marquis walked over and opened the cell door, Leon looked past Larsa and his crew members and saw the gaurds sulking behind them, the first gaurd looked at him and glared at them with venom in his eyes. Obviously he wasn't happy that he got told off.
" We are sorry for the trouble Mr Alexander, you are free to leave and if you visit Bhujerba in the future, you will not be bothered." The Marquis said, an orderly tone in his voice and the gaurd that stood by the door flinched. Leon frowned, he couldn't leave Ellyn here on her own and as she had no idea how or what she had done mean't either she was lying or she was placed in the palace on purpose. Larsa seemed to notice this and stepped into the cell, He had grown over the few years of peace, he was now fourteen and he was a brilliant ruler. Proving that destroying peace for power was not the way.
Larsa watched as frightened blue eyes timidly gazed at him, the girl was so scared it alarmed the king of Archadia. The girl stared at him before carefully raised her one hand and waved. Larsa instantly wanted the girl out of this place, he turned to Marquis with a questioning gaze. The older man waved his one hand lazily, a small smile on his lips.
" She is free to go too, no harm was done and she is terrified that much is certain." Larsa nodded and looked back to Leon who understood the silent order after working with the young king for so long; " Get her out of here." Leon looked down and saw Ellyn looking back with puzzlement, he let another smile cover his face before he abruptly picked the girl up bridal style and charged from the cell, Larsa not to far behind though the young king had business with the Marquis. Haru was already firing questions as they walked from the palace. Elka was walking calmly, glaring at any gaurd who looked their way.
Before Haru could carry on with his questions, or more like repeat them, Leon interupted as he glanced at the now sleeping Ellyn. " Her name is Ellyn and thats all she seems to remember. She doesn't know how she got into the palace." With the tone of finality, Leon made his steps quicker, the air was cold now and he could feel the small girl in his arm shiver slightly.
He sighed when he saw the Aerodrome.
