Elciera: Hey everybody, sorry for making you wait. The USB that had the other chapters broke, and therefore I had to do it all over again. But it did game me a chance to make improved versions of the chapters. Enjoy!
Chapter 1: The Awakening
?'s P.O.V.
"Are you sure about this?"
"Yes, I'm sure. It's for the sake of all."
"…but what about Isaritha, Katherine, Hiorelina and everyone? How would they feel if you were gone…?"
"…I know how those 3 would feel; I'm not ignorant whereas everyone else…you understand that…"
"I know."
"If you know, then please accept this request. Protect them, everyone, this world, and Elemia. For my sake."
"…I'll do what I can to help you and I'll uphold your request happily."
"Thank you..."
"It is the least I can do for you ever since you helped me. It's my turn to now help. So rest in peace…Altheumelia."
Summary of Present Time
The world has been struck by the ordeal of Tenrou Island's disappearance caused by Acnologia. 7 years have passed since then, and now, the ones who disappeared with the island shall awaken, to face a new situation…
?'s P.O.V.
'Are you serious!?'
'I am serious, Isaritha.'
The girl now identified as Isaritha, paled at the reply given. The girl looked 17 years old, and had long waist-length lavender hair. Her bangs were held by a hair clip to the left of her face, with 2 of them framing her face. She had a flat chest (like Levy's chest) and a curvaceous figure.
Isaritha looked downcast at the news given to her. 'She's really gone, huh?' she said, seemingly talking to nothing but thin air.
'…yes...she did. It has been 7 years ever since her disappearance from the face of the worlds. 7 years ever since the battle started.'
'…should I tell the others what happened to Altheumelia?'
There was silence for a moment, as if the voice was pondering over Isaritha's question, before answering, 'Yes. You and them share a deep bond with Altheumelia. It is natural to be done so. However, the others wouldn't care much. So just tell those 2.'
Isaritha nodded, a sad smile gracing her features. 'I will. Thank you…Jaliqa.'
Isaritha opened her brilliant blue eyes, only to sharply close them when they made contact with light. Temporarily blinded, the purplette attempted to sit up on what she could only conclude on was a bed. Rubbing her eyes of the light, she took a look around where she was.
She saw herself on a wooden bed in a room, with herbs and medicines in specific shelves and cupboards, and medical kits. She could only conclude that she was in the guild infirmary. Her friends must have carried her here.
The sound of a door being slammed open and a woman's cry drew the purplette's focus forward, and saw grey before having her head buried into a large-breasted chest. 'I guess it's Katherine…' was her last thought before she started to slowly turn blue. Isaritha managed to choke out, "Katherine...let…go…of me…" And then felt the crushing embrace around her loosen, and started to gasp desperately for air before looking at the girl.
Katherine was an 18 years old woman with rather large breasts (Me: like Lucy's breasts/Altheumelia: Umm…my chest isn't that big ^.^'/Me: Oh sorry, I meant the original Lucy's breasts ^_^") and an impressive bust size. She wore a rather skimpy and somehow revealing light blue expensive Chinese dress. It exposed her stomach and a fair amount of cleavage. She wore matching high heels, a leather belt and matching arms sleeves. On her collarbone laid a golden necklace armour, with pearl embedded in the middle. She had long black hair reaching her waist, with bangs reaching her breasts while framing her face. She had blue eyes, light purple eyeliner and a small amount of red lipstick and had her guild mark a blue colour, on her leg. Overall, she looked like a perfect, flawless supermodel.
Katherine looked as if she was incredibly worried. "Isaritha darling, you've been asleep for 3 days! Do you know how worried everyone was!? Especially Hiorelina and me!?"
"I know, I know! But during the time I was asleep, I met well…Jaliqa…"
Katherine sharply turned her head to look at the purplette when she heard the name. "Jaliqa? She Chained with you? What did she tell you?"
Isaritha bit her lower lip. "Well…it's best to get Hiorelina here as well…she should know as well."
After a few minutes, Katherine had managed to get Hiorelina in the infirmary. Katherine was an 18-year-old woman with long orange hair that reached her waist. She wore a brown coat, blue shirt, matching short pants, leather boots, and brown arm sleeves along with matching fingerless gloves. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail. She had hazel brown eyes and a beauty spot under her left eye.
"So what did Jaliqa told you?"
Isaritha took a deep breath before speaking. She didn't know how they would react to the news, but she already knew it deep in her mind it was going to be a bad one. "Jaliqa told me that Altheumelia used that to seal Abyryzel."
At first the other 2 were confused, but after a few minutes, Isaritha saw the cogs turning in their heads, and knew that they figured it out, hence their pale faces and widened eyes. Isaritha was afraid of this, but she knew it was inevitable in the end.
Katherine faltered as tears seeped from her eyes. "Our sweetie…she used it…she really did…" the poor girl looked as if she was about to faint, so Hiorelina quickly rushed to aid Katherine in standing up, though she was also in tears, but she hid it.
Isaritha nodded in tears. Katherine sobbed miserably. "She didn't deserve this…why did the gods have to burden her with so much!?"
Isaritha desperately wished that she knew the answer for that…but she didn't, and she could only reply with uncertainty in her breaking voice. "I don't know."
Katherine cried, and the other 2 soon did the same, though more silently, mourning the loss of their friend who sacrifice herself for all existences and dimensions.
Meanwhile on the table next to Isaritha's bedside, a golden necklace with a peridot gem glowed slightly, unnoticed by the weeping three as it throbbed faintly with energy before fading.
Who is Jaliqa? What has happened to Altheumelia? What past do Altheumelia, Aerleumina, Katherine and Hiorelina have with each other? What will happen next? Where is Altheumelia and why did she disappear so suddenly 7 years ago? And what was the threat Altheumelia was facing? We'll find out next time, stay tuned!
