Please excuse any grammer mistakes for places and cities here. I'm playing FFXII at the moment and even then on weekends so I can't play the game along while I write this. I found a script for the game but it's Japanese translated so I'm having a rough time as it is. If anyone knows where an English game script is, I'll give them a plushie of any character they want 3
OMFG I'M SO SORRY I DID NOT UPDATE SOONER! MY parents took away my laptop and my laptop has all my stories and chapters on here so… ;-;

"Admit him." Duke Fabre sat at his desk, writing up some documents while waiting for the servant to enter.
"You wanted to talk to me, Your Grace?" Guy Cecil walked in, abeit with slight nervousness. He stood before the desk, trying not to clench his hands.
"I have an assignment for you." Duke Fabre opened, still working on his documents. "I want you to go find my missing children and bring them back home safely. Normally I would sent out a squad to do this, but we don't know where they might have ended up, or if they are in enemy territory. If I send you out by yourself, you should be able to move quicker and cover more ground and obtain information on their whereabouts more easily than if it were a large group." Guy agreed with the logic, although internally.
"Yes, Your Grace."
"Good. Lilly has assembled the nessesities of what you will need for your task. You will find her at the entrance to the manor. You are dismissed." Guy bit back a remark before bowing himself out, almost walking smack dab into a maid. He managed to backstep a few times for his comfort level before apologizing.
"It's quite alright. Lady Suzanne is wanting to talk to you before you leave. And Her Highness left me a message for you to let her know when you leave."
"Thanks." Guy quickly walked down the hallway, knocking on the Duke and Duchess's chambers.
"Come in." Suzanne's soft voice called though the door. Guy admitted himself, the duchess dismissing the maids in her room. Guy noticed with a little worry that her face was slightly pale.
"You are off to find my children, correct?" She put down her embroidery that she was working on.
"Yes my Lady. I leave as soon as I am able to. I promise that I will bring them home safely, at whatever cost." Suzanne frowned slightly, a troubled look in her eyes.
"Don't say that. You must come home safe as well. I know Rosalyn cares greatly for your safety and would be distraught if you got hurt in the process." All but the blindest of the blind could see what affections Lady Rosalyn held for her brother's man servant. Although it was down right pathetic that neither Guy or Luke noticed that.
"I'll be careful, so don't worry too much. Master Luke and Miss Rosalyn will be safe at home before you know it." Suzanne smiled slightly, nodding.
"I am glad that you are there to look after them. Have a safe journey."

"Wow, quite the sum of valuable items you have." The coachman looked over the jewelry piled up in the handkerchief. Rosa's elaborate earrings, necklace and bracelet lay in the cloth, twinkling up at the man.
"This is enough for all three of you and then some. Some of the best work out there." He gathered the ends of the cloth together and tied it up, placing it in a belt purse carefully.
"Hop aboard!" The trio of Luke, Rosa and Tear followed the man to his coach, whereas they started on their way shortly.
"You didn't have to do that you know. It's my duty as a soldier to bring you home safely, at whatever the cost." Tear reluctantly followed Rosa into the coach.
"Nonsense. I know soldiers don't get paid that much, and I don't want to inconvenience you in anyway. Besides, I can always get a new set. I bought that one myself so there's no lingering feelings or anything attached to it." Rosa offered Tear a smile and settled down beside her brother, laying her head on his shoulder as she slowly drifted off to sleep.
Hours later, the fon Fabre twins were woken up by the driver shouting. "Hold on, it might get a little rough. I think that's the Dark Wings coming towards us!" Rosa and Luke stuck their heads out the window, watching the bridge go by, a stage coach rushing past them.
"Hey, it's the Tartarus!" The massive land ship issued out an order for their coach to move out of the way as it pursued the Dark Wings.
"Whoa, you don't see action like this at home!" Rosa commented, grimacing when the bridge crumbled.
"Well, it shouldn't be too long before we reach Grand Chokmah now." Tear and Rosa did a double take of the coachman's words, horrified looks on their faces.
"But isn't that in Malkuth?!" Rosa yelled, baffled as to why they'd be in enemy territory.
"We're in Malkuth?" Luke yelled as well, glancing at Tear. "How could you make a mistake like that?"
"Are you two three from Kimlasca?" The coachman asked, puzzled.
"No, no, we're from Malkuth but he had some business in Baticul. It seems we misunderstood you."
"Shame, Baticul is the other way and the bridge is out. You can't go there until they fix the bridge."
"Seriously, what are we going to do?" Luke was annoyed beyond annoyed. He huffed and slammed back against the cushioned back of the coach.
"We're headed east to Engave on our way to Grand Chokmah. What are you three going to do?"
"As expected, it's far to Grand Chokmah." Tear murmured, thinking of a plan. "We'll stop at Engave and find a way back from there."
"Do you want to keep on going or walk?" The man asked, slowing down the coach slightly.
"We'll ride thanks. We don't know how to get there anyway." Rosa spoke up, relaxing in her seat as much as her now worried nerves would let her.
"Alright, we'll be there in an hour, give or take."

"Great…" Guy surveyed the broken down bridge with dismay. He had learned from a passing by traveler that morning that a bright light had appeared and vanished in Tataroo Valley. He had gone there (Suzanne had lent a to him), and found from a traveler that just got there that two red richly dressed red heads, a coach man and a solider had left in a coach in the direction of Malkuth.
'You guys just love making my job hard, huh.' The Malkuthian noble trotted his horse (Rosalyn's really) across the bridge, sizing up the hole.
'Wind Rider could possibly jump across that…or if not, I could double back to the post a mile back and get them to send her back to the Fabre Manor…and then I could come back and swim...' Deciding not to risk the horse, himself and the jump, Guy rode back to the outpost, asking the Kimlascan soldiers to take Wind Rider back to Baticul. He then ran the mile back to the bridge, gritting his teeth as plunged into the large cold river, slowly making his way across to the other side.

"This is Engave. If you're headed to Kimlasca, you should head south though the Kaitzure Checkpoint. Be careful!" The coach man walked into the village, most likely to get supplies for his way to the capital.
"A Check point, hmm. We don't have any passports, they won't let us though. This isn't good."
"It'll be fine, right? If I say I'm Duke Fabre's son, they'll let us right though!" Luke stated confidently. Rosa side glanced at him, not so sure. "I don't think so…it's not that easy as it sounds."
"Whatever. More importantly, let's explore the town! This is the first time I've ever left my town!" Luke was seriously excited, grabbing his sister's wrist before dragging/tugging her over to the market place of the village.
"…" Tear sighed and followed the two.
