Chapter 3
We finally made it to Krishna and went into its main city Binoten. Parts of the city had been damaged from what seemed like a battle.
"Another garage..." I hung my head. I just left a garage only to be put into another garage. As I walked into the garage I noticed another golem in there. It was similar to Senosuke. I stopped and faced it. There was a man standing next to it on the bridge.
"Come on. We are almost at your station." Hyosuke spoke to me.
"Okay." I nodded and went to the station. I opened the hatch and followed Hyosuke out of Senosuke. I then found myself in handcuffs.
"Are these really necessary? I followed you here without any problem." I looked at Nile.
"It's for our protection." He said and examined my golem. "Rygart! Come check this one out." The man from the golem before came up the stairs and walked over to Senosuke. He got into the cockpit.
"It almost looks like the inside of Delphine." He toggled at Senosuke's controls.
"He won't work with any other pilot besides me." I looked at the man.
"I'm not just an ordinary pilot." He said and managed to activate Senosuke. "651 hours."
"Senosuke stand by mode!" I shouted and Senosuke's gears locked into position.
"No way. She can control the golem from outside the cockpit?" Several of the other pilots and engineers looked at me.
"Voice activated?" Rygart got out of Senosuke. "Are you an un-sorcerer?"
"No. I can use quarts." I looked at him.
"Her room is ready." A girl wearing elegant clothing came into the garage.
"Hyosuke show her to her room and stand guard." Nile ordered him.
"But sir-!" Hyosuke began.
"That's an order Hyosuke." Nile looked at him.
"Yes sir." Hyosuke obeyed and followed me to my room. I got to stay in the castle.
"Let me see your hands miss." The lady asked me as she opened the door to my room.
"Okay." I nodded and showed her my cuffed hands. She took off my cuffs.
"There. You should feel much more comfortable." She smiled and left.
"Thank you." I said as she left. Hyosuke closed the door and stood guard in the room. I sighed and looked at the room. It was pretty huge and it had a huge window.
"Wow! The view is great!" I peered out the window. Hyosuke stood by the door stiff.
"Hey Hyosuke." I went up to him. He ignored me. "Hello?" I waved my hand in front of him.
"What do you want?" He finally spoke to me.
"Can you tell me about your city?" I asked him.
"What?" He looked at me weird.
"Can you tell me about your home?" I asked him again. "Show me where everything is." I walked back toward the window.
"You want to know about Krishna?" Hyosuke finally left the door and stood beside me.
"Ya. I have always lived on an island in the middle of the sea. Seeing a new city peeks my interest. I want to know what you know." I smiled at him. He looked at the view for a minute and then began to tell me about his city.
"I see. So that's why this place is a bit ruined." I looked at the city. "So Athens are the bad guys?"
"Ya. They slaughter innocent people and destroy everything." Hyosuke slammed his fist on the ledge.
"Hyosuke, do you think all Athens are bad? Or the ones who give the order?" I asked him.
"They are all the same." Hyosuke looked at me. There was a knock on the door.
"Your food has arrived." A maid brought in our food and set it down on the table in the corner of the room.
"Thank you." I smiled at her. She bowed and left. I brought the tray to the ledge so I can see the sun set as I ate.
"You're not what I imagined how you would act." Hyosuke looked at me.
"What?" I looked at him.
"I thought you would have tried to escape by now or something." Hyosuke looked at the sunset.
"Didn't really thought about escaping. I want to get a closer look on the golem that has Senosuke's frame." I told him.
"You mean Delphine?" Hyosuke looked at me.
"Ya. Is that Rygart an un-sorcerer?" I asked him.
"Ya. He can't use anything that has quarts." He said.
"Here. You should eat too." I placed his plate beside mine on the ledge.
"Thanks." He began to eat. "So you can use quarts too." He looked at me.
"Ya." I took out the quarts I got from Athens. It sat in my hand for a bit then began to float and glow vibrantly.
"You must be really skillful to make your quarts shine that bright and that high." He looked at me.
"I don't know about that." I looked out at the sky. "I can hold my own in a fight but up until I left my island, I was alone. Senosuke is my only friend."
"What happened to your parents?" Hyosuke asked me.
"They died when I was very young. They left me Senosuke half built and blueprints to finish him up." I answered him.
"You finished building him? How long did that take you?" Hyosuke looked at me.
"I started when I was ten, so fourteen years to complete Senosuke." I looked at the sunset. "Seeing other people and actually having a conversation like this is how I dreamt it would be." I smiled. "Well expect for the being a prisoner part." I sighed. "Thanks for listening to me as I rant on about my life story." I laughed nervously.
"Your welcome. And I'm sorry for earlier." Hyosuke looked out the window.
"It's alright. You were doing your job." I smiled at him. The stars began to appear and the moon was glowing beautifully in the night sky. "The moon is beautiful here too." I looked at the moon.
"Ya." Hyosuke nodded and looked at the moon as well.
"Tell me more about your home Hyosuke." I placed my head on the ledge and stared off into the sky. He told me about himself and the places he has been too.
"Why did you become a soldier?" I asked him.
"To protect my home." Hyosuke answered.
"I see. Thank you Hyosuke for sharing with me." I smiled and began to fall asleep.
"You'll catch a cold if you sleep like that." Hyosuke helped me to the bed.
"Thank... You..." I murmured in my sleep. Hyosuke put the covers on me and stood guard at the door.
