I hope I characterized you right, G! :D

I know you dislike dogs... So while I love Roda, she's a dog, sooo XD

There is a star in the night sky, which never sees the dawn

The land of Amberground

In that region, not touched by the light of the man-made sun which illuminates the capital

In that dark, dangerous region, people travelling on national business

Are entrusted by the people to carry their 'Hearts'.

Their job is to deliver.

To deliver…

Letters

Within all things

What takes precedence is the 'heart'

All things are masters of their 'heart'

And their heart makes them who they are

"Coza Bell… 3211...Without a doubt, it's definitely around here… Let's see… However… It's the first time I've heard of an established post office so far out here, on the edge of town… Even so… Here the whole place has been completely destroyed. It looks like there was a huge fire. Doesn't it, Roda?"

"Woof!"

"Roda?"

His Dingo, the dog called Roda, began to bark. And bark. And bark even more. Gauche Suede began to walk to where his dingo was leading him to.

"It was over there, huh… Thanks Roda!"

He walked over, looking at the mail post, "What a strange post sign… Wasn't it affected by the fire? Let's see… any letters or packages-"

It was then Roda alerted him of two children, chained to the post. One was female, with tan skin and dark hair. She wore goggles on top of her head, and her hair was boyishly short. The other was male, and looked to be a year younger than the girl. He had blonde hair, and wore glasses that obscured his eyes. Both wore baggy, ragged clothing; long-sleeved shirts, long pants, worn-out shoes… Though the boy wore a green scarf. Both had slips of paper on their biceps that showed that they were not to be treated as people…

But as letters.

"These children… Are the letters…"

"Who are you?!" the girl shot up. Gauche had been fixing the soup he always got, while speaking with the boy, G, about what was going on. Despite the boy being no older than at least six or seven, he seemed to be extremely smart, though a bit hateful towards Roda; the only explanation was that she was a dog.

However, upon the girl's outburst, Gauche began to freak, yelling out his name, age, what he was doing, and all about the soup he was trying to open; he even introduced her to Roda. He then asked for her name, as G had stopped him from looking closer at the Delivery Form to discover her name. He learned that the girl's name was Darky, but if calling her that seemed weird, to call her Ryu.

Gauche found it odd that this girl's name was basically a way of turning 'Dark' into a proper name, but he didn't inquire.

The boy, G, then asked about the Delivery Forms, so he explained. He even explained to the two about Letter Bees, though the girl seemed to be well versed. Both seemed angry that he was now speaking to them as if they were objects -he had to dodge a few punches to his gut from Darky and ignore glares and dodge punches from G.

Once he had their support in taking them to their destination, he swiftly picked up G in one arm, and allowed Darky to ride on his shoulders. He also finally got to take a look at the Delivery Form; Yodaka District: Southern Region. 624137-22, 109, Cambel Litus, to one Sabrina Mary. Both recognised the name as their 'aunt' who used to live near them. He was surprised to see them taking the fact that their caretaker, Anne Seeing, had been the one to label them as letters in stride.

The country Amberground, surrounded on all four sides by ocean, is divided into three areas by a class system.
The capital 'Akatsuki', directly under where the man-made sun shines, is the home of the highest class; the Upper class, the city of certain 'Chosen Humans'.

The second area is home of the Middle Class; Yuusari.

Lastly, the third area, "Yodaka', is home to the lowest class, who live in poverty.

The three areas are divided by rivers that flow into the sea…

Only those with a Government-issued crossing permit are allowed to cross the bridge.

A small man-made sun exists for the purpose of illuminating the area of the capital.

Outside the country, the world is enveloped in thick darkness.

Gauche and Roda walked along to Cambel Litus, answering every question, eventually letting them down after a few requests. He explained to them how long it would take to get from Coza Bel to Cambel Litus, and the route they had to take.

Ten days, they have to go through the mountains. He then explained about Gaichuu; Giant Mechanical Insects that are after 'Heart' to devour.

He was about to explain more, when G alerted him to a Gaichuu. He quickly shielded both children and took them out of the way of incoming attacks from the Gaichuu.

Roda then distracted the Gaichuu as he quickly explained about Shindan and Shindanjuu. He then asked both to be quiet, so he could concentrate.

He quickly defeated the Gaichuu.

Later, Darky would be trying to tell him that she heard the Gaichuu crying, though he kept on telling them both to eat the soup. G kept on complaining that it tasted gross, while Darky ate it with no complaints.

He got a bit angry with G, but said anger ceased when Darky pointed to Roda, who also felt that the soup was disgusting.

He fully explained about his Shindanjuu and Shindan after that, and even explained to them about Spirit Amber, or at least, what he knew.

G and Darky then tag-teamed ate his apples, though Darky gave a piece to Roda.

But what Darky said after feeding his Dingo surprised him.

"If you fire too many… Gauche Suede would cease to exist, right? You'd only have an empty shell."

How… did she know that?

Soon after answering affirmative and answering more questions, he told them that they should turn in for the night.

But… Darky had gotten ahold of his Shindanjuu, and said gun was beginning to charge up.

He saw her memories via the Shindan, though not before Roda accidentaly gave him a scar on his cheek in her haste to get the Shindanjuu away from the seven-year-old girl. He saw Anne Seeing being taken away, and her attempts to protect both Anne and G, her little brother.

I see… These are fragments… of Darky's heart… Her caretaker… I see.

When he heard Roda's bark, he barely realized he had been crying, and that Darky was unconscious, G attempting to awaken her. He quickly, and lightly, pushed G out of the way and used a shindan to restore the girl's heart, before moving them all to a safer place.

They all had to rest.

Please review!

I love writing in Gauche's POV. It was verreh fun :D
