Wolfe
I woke up, and I had to shield my eyes from the light. 'How long was I asleep?' I wondered, when I heard a voice from nearby.
"Oh good, your alive." the voice said. I tried to look over to him, then I felt a large pain in my head, and had to stop all movement. After a few minutes I could move my head again to see the green haired boy from before I passed out.
"Why did you save me?" that was probably a really stupid question, when I think about it.
"Would you rather me left you there, dying in front of the fountain?" the boy said. "That doesn't answer my question." after that the boy crouched next to me, looking at me wounds. "I couldn't just let a child die in front of me." said the boy. "Who are you?" I asked, he laughed at that, as if I said the dumbest question in the world.
"How do you not know who I am?" he said, and after he said that I looked hard at him, trying to remember who he was. He looked somewhat familiar, but I couldn't quite place him. "Could you answer my question?" I asked, genuinely not knowing who he was. "Tch. I'm Sync the Tempest, one of the God-Generals." he answers, somewhat frustrated. I then start to get a headache, but fight through it to stay awake. "How long have I been unconscious?" I ask, and I get frightened at his answer.
"Almost a week," he said, "I was starting to worry that you did actually died." I have to think about what he said for a while. I've been unconscious for a whole week? I start to worry about what happened, then quickly shake it away when I realize all my family is dead, I didn't miss anything important. "What is your name?" Sync asked me. I take a moment to think about this, and I reply with "Wolfe." I changed my name, since I don't really have a past to return to. I used the name Wolfe with an 'e' to encourage use of the lone wolf phrase, and the 'e' acted to make it still a name.
"I have to leave, make sure you don't die. I don't want to throw your body out." Sync says as he walks out the door. There is something interesting about him, and something annoying about him all at the same time.
I stay laying down for a few minutes, just letting my mind think about it. I've been unconscious for a whole week, and I have no clue where I am. I try to get out of the bed, but I stumble and use the bed for support. I can't walk well because of my injury in my leg, or just because I was unconscious for a week. I look around and I find a makeshift crutch. Sync must have known I couldn't walk. I'll have to thank him when he gets back. I start to make my way out the door when I noticed that the couch was set-up like a bed. I really should thank him when he gets back.
I go out the door and look around. Once I noticed something, I groaned loudly. "It had to be stairs, didn't it?" There were a lot of stairs, and while using a crutch stairs are not the easiest thing to traverse. I start to go down the stairs, slowly at first, until I get the hang of it. Once I get to the bottom, I notice 5 fonic glyphs on the floor in the center of the room. Then I noticed a huge door, the only door that was unguarded actually.
"You're just jealous that you're not the Fon Master Guardian anymore, Gloomietta" a heard from the other side of the door. "No I'm not Anise, you stole Ion from me you don't deserve him." I heard another girl say. After that there was more taunting when a very angry looking girl opened the door and walked into me. Since I was using the crutch, I could not keep my balance, and we both fell with a startled yell from me. Once we hit the floor, I looked over and notice she fell on top of me, making me blush slightly. "I'm sorry, did I hurt you?" the girl asked me. I heard footsteps of another girl quickly run to me and say "Of course you did Gloomietta, he's obviously hurt!" I say something, since this was obviously going to become a fight, "I'm fine, I was hurt like this a week ago." The girls both looked down on me, since I didn't get off the floor yet. "Can you help me up?" I ask and the girls help me up. I heard the girl named Gloomietta, although I doubt that's her actual name, mumble something, then walk away quickly. I asked the remaining girl, Anise, where I was, and she replied with "The cathedral, headquarters of the Order of Lorelei, in Daath, obviously." That does make sense, thinking about it. "Who was that girl that just stomped away?" I asked thinking I knew what her response would be, and I guessed it exactly, since her reply was "Gloomietta." I shot her a look saying, No, seriously, and she said "Arietta the Wild, one of the six God-Generals." I asked Anise "Could I get a tour of the cathedral? I was never in Daath before." She sighed, as if she knew I was going to ask that, and said "Sure".
The tour was really long since I was on a crutch and could not keep up with Anise. She showed me almost everything about the cathedral, and I figured there were some secret areas only those in the Order would know. Near the end of the tour, a strong looking man passed us. His facial hair was in the shape of the lion, and he was at least twice my size. After he was out of earshot I asked Anise, "Who was that guy?" and she said "Largo the Black Lion, another one of the six God-Generals." So that means I've seen 3 of God-Generals today alone. I could tell Anise was annoyed with me somewhat, since I didn't know much. "Anise, what are the names of all the God-Generals?" "Well there's Arietta the Wild, Legretta the Quick, Dist the Reaper, Sync the Tempest, Asch the Bloody, and Largo the Black Lion." I asked her "Can I see all of them?" "No, Sync, Legretta, and Asch went on a mission and won't be back until tomorrow night. You've already seen Arietta and Largo, and Dist is just creepy."
We got back to the room where Arietta knocked us both over, and Anise ran to the center glyph. She frowned, and was thinking for a moment when she said "Come over here, I'll introduce you to Fon Master Ion." I was standing on the glyph with her when she muttered something and we were teleported upwards. When we got to the top she ran to the doors saying "C'mon let's meet Ion!" I got the impression she really liked Ion. When he got to his room, I heard him ask "Anise where were you?" I basically answered his question when I cam through the door. "I was giving him a tour, and he is really slow." Anise turned to me and said "Wait, what is your name?" I replied with "Wolfe" and nothing more. Fon Master Ion walked to me and asked, "Are you the boy Sync saved?" I answer with a reluctant "Yes, he saved my life."
Anise chose that time to announce she was going to make dinner, and left me and Ion to chat. I tried to chat with him, but I didn't really know what to say, so we ended up just waiting for Anise to come back with the food. When she came back, she had a dozen rice balls. The put it down, gave each of us one, and said "Dig in, food's done!" in a very delighted tone. I took one bite, and couldn't stop. It was delicious, the rice was cooked perfectly, and there was perfectly cooked and seasoned beef inside the rice. I had ended up eating 2 by the time they both ate 1. I slowed down my eating, and listened to them chat. Once we were all done eating, I said I should leave. I thanked them for the supper, and I also thanked Anise for the tour, when I left.
As I was walking back to my room, I thought of everything that happened. Waking up, Sync, Anise and Arietta, the tour, Anise is cute, Largo, Ion, the food, the ch- wait one of those was off, and I stopped for a second until I realized what I had thought. I blushed somewhat when I realized I thought Anise was cute. I shook the thought out of my mind, I was just tired I start thinking of stupid things when I get tire. I go to Sync's room, and dozed off to sleep. I had something to ask Sync tomorrow, and I had to get my sleep.
Author's Note
There you go guys, another, better chapter. The next few chapters are going to actually describe him better, since Wolfe will go through a change pretty quick. I don't want to describe him just to describe him again. Remember, reviews are appreciated and I update whenever I can and when I feel like writing/typing.
