Ugh, my head hurts...
"Unnnnnggg..." I raised my hand and held my head, a fierce pounding throbbing against my skull. I opened my eyes, quickly shutting them against the light.
"What IS this fucking..."
"Lloyd?" I quickly opened my eyes, finding myself in a cell, Lloyd sitting on the floor beside the bed.
"Yeah...the Desians took us here and now we're in this cell." He explained, "I put you on the bed when I woke up because you looked a lot worse off than me."
"Oh...thanks!" I smiled at him and gasped when I heard, "I feel sorry for the two. They're supposedly going to be executed tomorrow."
"..." I turned my head, wide eyed to look at Lloyd. His expression was the same as mine. I felt a sly smirk on my lips as I held my palm out before me, concentrating my mana as best I could.
"Lume!" Three balls of sparking light flew at the Renegade guarding our cell, making him run away, patting his ass probably from smarting pain.
"Wow, you sure you're not some sort of half elf or elf or something?" he asked as he reached around and flipped the switch, getting us out.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I don't have pointy ears." I said, searching around for our gear. "Hey Lloyd, help me out here!"
"It's over here!" He was in the corner, hauling out things out from a chest. I caught my swords and guns, placing them back on the places on my belt. I also caught a ring and a strange amulet.
"I think these must be yours." I slipped on the ring on my ring finger, shrugging. If people thought I was married, then screw them! The strange amulet I hung around my neck.
"Lloyd? If we can...can we please avoid killing? I've never really...and well...they have families too, you know? Their families need then and they have every right to live, like us." I scuffed my foot and glanced at the floor before looking back at him.
"Yeah...I see what you mean...I can't let of the fact that they're desians...but...I'll try." I smiled and hugged him happily in thanks before skipping to the exit. HE probably thinks I'm a strange girl from that but hey, what the hell? I do that to my other guy friends too!
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit...SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT AHHHHHHHHHHH SHIT! Come on now, Jessica, deep breath in, out, in and out and-- OH SCREW IT!
"What did you say?!" Yuan had pinned me against the wall, dagger at my throat, a small line of blood already flowing down my neck. I gulped and prayed that Lloyd would come find me, myself having run like hell from a bunch of those Raybit computer things, their electricity shocks zapping my ass rather not nicely. And so I ended up here, stumbling upon Yuan looking at a painting of himself, Mithos, Martel and Kratos. And me, being the stupid girl that I am, screamed out "WHAT THE FUCKING HELL? SWEET PICTURE OF YOU AN' KRATTY AND SPANDEX BOY AND MARTEL!"
So that's what lead to my current situation. Yuan all pressed up against me, dagger at neck, him breathing hard in my face...and visibly shaking in my pants.
"Um...hi Yuan! Nice day we're having, isn't it?" I tried to move even a little, to try to cast a spell or move my knee or SOMETHING! He pressed the blade harder, more blood trailing down my skin.
"Get away from her!" Lloyd burst though the door, swords drawn.
"One move from you and she dies, boy." I tried to smile at Lloyd but grimaced.
"Um...heya!" I smiled cheekily, pouting when he created a deeper cut in my neck. "Um...your breath stinks. Ever heard of a Tic-Tac?" This sent him into confusion, slightly lowering his guard. I retaliated by kicking him in the balls, scampering over to Lloyd, sword drawn. It was funny, watching Yuan keel over, his hands over his precious 'jewels'. I guess he can feel then.
"HAHA! TAKE THAT STINKY BREATH!!" I jumped when Botta ran though the door.
"Sir, the Chosen's group is here."
HAHA, TAKE THAT! I inwardly did the victory dance.
"Damn, everything will be ruined if he sees me! Botta, I'll leave you to deal with them." Yuan bolted though the door, though not after glaring at me and casting first aid on himself. I stuck out my tongue and prepared for battle as Kratos and the rest came though. Mind you, I WOULD squeal here but I'm fighting for my right to live...so yeah.
"Demon Fang!" I heard Kratos use the technique, an energy thingy cruising towards the half-elf. I ran up, swinging a few times before running back, indeed scared of the large sword he swung at me. It hurt even more as the tip caught my left arm, creating a slight scratch.
"Owww! Meanie!" I glared and cast up Lume, thrusting my hand forward, letting the sparking balls of light crash against him. Lloyd came up to Botta, performing a few techs and slicing at the man, getting him a few times. Kratos however managed to get more hits, him being the 4000 year old Seraph we all know and love dearly. Soon after a little more of this, Botta ran out, tossing his broken sword to the side. Raine went up to it and examined it, gasping at the exsphere.
"You all came to save us?" Lloyd asked. Colette walked up to me.
"Hi! I'm Colette!" Wow she's a bright cheery one. I smiled at her. "I'm Sheila. Thanks for saving us!" I waved at the others, Raine not seeing me for being too fascinated at the exsphere. I found Kratos staring at my crystal.
"Are you the Destined One?" He asked, walking up to me. He was rather quite close, myself backing up a space.
"Huh?" I tilted my head to the side. Kratos sighed, palming his face. "Hey! I lived an isolated life in the forest until recently! Gimme a break!" I stomped my foot and pouted. Childish I know, but really...who cares?
"The Destined One was said to appear in times of great need, bringing change and hope wherever they walked. The last one recorded to have ever appeared was over 2000 years ago...They are recognized by the white Cruxis crystal they carry. Seeing as yours is pure white, I would imagine you are the Destined One."
Wow...I'm a legend of sorts. Never heard of this in the game...maybe because I'm in it, a whole new part of a story showed up?
"Well, I've had this as long as I can remember...I don't know anything of what you talk about really but..." I shrugged. "I only read about the Chosen and maps and stuff...never really read about this 'Destined One'. But if I really am this, I suppose I can go along with the Chosen...whomever they are."
"Oh, that's me!" Colette smiled and turned to me. "I guess we'll be traveling together then! Great!" She smiled even more, if that's even possible. I looked back at Kratos.
"So um...who's the one in charge of all this? I wanna ask them if I can come along and stuff." Raine absentmindedly raised her had along with Kratos. "Um...okay...so can I?"
