Disclaimer: Same thing, noting new here.
~Claude's POV~
There we were, traveling to the past. Me, Rena, and that girl. Everything was blurry, as if we were going through a wormhole in space. Suddenly as soon as it began it ended. I collided with the ground hard. I was dazed a little from the collision. I looked around and saw Eluria. Not the Eluria I remember, but the old Eluria. Probably before the Sorcery Globe hit. I looked at my side and saw Rena just getting up. The girl continued to lay face down. I got up and walked over to her. I knelt beside her and checked her pulse.
"Where are we?" Rena asked.
"I think we're on El." I said looking at her. "But you would know faster than me. I've never actually lived here." I looked at the girl. Her pulse was fine, now we just need her to wake up. Rena walked over to me and knelt down.
"Is she alright?" She asked me. I was just about to answer as the girl began to open her eyes. She looked at me for a long time and then leapt to her feet and backed up.
"You're, you're that one..." She said.
"What?" I don't know what she was saying.
"You're, huh? Where are we?" She looked around, totally confused.
"Expel." Rena said. "In the past." Just then I heard a voice.
'Enough of this foolishness, you have a job to do.' The voice said. It sounded like Cyrak, but I couldn't really tell. I turned around and began walking toward the hill nearby.
"Claude, where are you going?" Rena asked.
"Somewhere." I said. "I'm not sure." As I reached the top of the hill what I saw shocked me. The town wasn't enjoying the day, but rather it was battling. Rena walked up by me and saw the battle. She sighed and turned around.
"What's with this?" I asked.
"Before the Sorcery Globe landed, El wasn't like by many of the other Expelians." Rena said sadly. "So they-Oh no." Rena said looking back at the town. I looked behind me and saw five soldiers running our way.
"Don't move!" One of them shouted. All of them stopped in front of me.
"What are you three doing here?" Another one asked.
"Nothing." I said. They of course, didn't buy it.
"Right, seize him!" The first one shouted. The other four grabbed me and one of them chocked me. I struggled to get free.
"Claude!" Rena shouted. I reached back and grabbed the one chocking me by the neck and threw him forward. He crashed headfirst and was knocked out. The others looked at their fallen comrade, speechless. I chose that time to do a low kick on all of them. They all fell and I jumped out of their reach.
"Are you o-kay?" Rena asked me as she stood by my side. I nodded and motioned for Rena to follow and we ran. The girl looked our way and followed. Once we were far from them we stopped.
"You know, we still don't know your name." I said as I looked at the girl. She looked at me.
"My name?" She asked.
"Yeah." She looked around as if I were talking to someone else.
"Uh, Sophie." She said nervously.
"We're not going to hurt you." Rena said. "We didn't even know you came."
"Well, I did, and I'm gonna be lotsa help." She said.
"Then where do we go?" I said crossing my arms.
"I'm not entirely sure, but I think we need to go to Lacour." She said looking toward the beach. She widened her eyes.
"Whats wrong?" Rena asked looking her way. She must have seen the same thing because she widened her eyes and backed up. I turned around and saw what must have scared them. It was a huge tiger-like thing that was watching us closely. I stood still as it moved up to me. I closed my eyes so it wouldn't notice I'm alive. I heard Rena say my name quietly. I could tell the creature was inches from my face. I held my breath, as it didn't move. Moments pass and I didn't hear anything. I opened my eyes and saws the creature raising its paw, ready to strike. I was to slow for its lightning speed and was hit in the chest by the thing. I flew backward and hit the ground. I didn't stop, but kept going. I was on a hill, a steppe one, a steppe, painful one. I felt twigs stab into my side the entire way down. Just before I hit the bottom I felt my foot get caught in a hole and snapped. I cried out in pain as my foot had broken. Finally I stopped, lying there as if I were dead.
"Claude!" Rena hollered as she made her way down the hill carefully. Everything began to get fuzzy as I slumped my head into the soft grass as Rena reached the bottom with Sophie. As Rena Knelt beside me, I blacked out.
~Rena's POV~
There he was, lying in the grass, face down. I knelt beside him and stared. He was covered in cuts and bruises. I began to cast a healing spell as Sophie came over as she was watching for the Garus (tiger thing) if it would come down. I finished the spell and looked at Sophie.
"Is he alright?" She asked.
"I think so." I said looking back at him. He slowly opened his eyes and stared into the cloud-covered sky.
"Are you o-kay?" I asked as I grabbed his hand. He tried to answer but couldn't. It was then I heard someone holler. I looked up and saw someone dressed in black running toward us.
"LOOKOUT!" He called out as u looked behind me and saw the Garus ready to attack Sophie. She backed up and tripped. The Garus was ready to strike, throwing its hand down onto Sophie. But it wasn't Sophie the Garus hit, its was the mans swords, twin swords.
"Ashton." I whispered as he threw the monster off of him. He slashed at the Garus until it was down. He panted and looked at me.
"Are you o-kay ma'am?" He asked me.
"Yes, but, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"I was just looking for refugees that are along the coast." He said. "By the way, my name is Ashton Anchors." I was about to say 'I know what your name is.' But stopped.
"I'm Rena Landford." I said. "And this is Sophie." Sophie waved and smiled. Ashton spotted Claude on the ground and widened his eyes.
"Is he alright?" He asked.
"Yeah." Claude replied weakly. "Just, really dizzy."
"O-kay, enough of this how are you stuff, lets get going to Lacour." Sophie said impatiently.
"Lacour? You're going to Lacour?" Ashton asked.
"Yes we are." I said.
"That's where I'm going next." He said. "If you don't mind waiting for a while I'll go with you."
"That would be wonderful." I said helping Claude up. "We can help you look for refugees if you want."
"Alright then, lets get going." Ashton said as he began walking toward the coast. I preformed one last healing spell on Claude so he could walk. Sophie sighed and brought up the rear.
~Nar. POV~
The group of four walked along the coast looking for people somewhere along the shore or within a mile. After fifteen minutes of searching they found no one and caught a boat to go to Lacour. Along the ride, Claude, Rena, and Sophie told Ashton about themselves. They knew about him, but he didn't know about them. After thirty minutes it was a beautiful sunset in Hilton. Deciding to stay there for the night the four got a room and got ready for sleep. Everyone was in bed, sleeping peacefully. Everyone but Claude. He lie in bed, mind racing. He couldn't stop thinking about what Cyrak told him, everything he'd heard, seen, done. It was like a dream, a dream coming to life.
"Why must it be I who goes to the past? Why not someone else?" He asked himself quietly.
'Because you are the only one who can do it.' Came a voice. Claude jolted and then calmed down.
"Shut up Cyrak." He said as he rolled on his side.
'Tell me why I should. One good reason.'
"Cuz I said so, now shut up."
'You know what's in the ruins Claude. You and only you.'
"I don't know what you're talking about." Claude lied.
'Pity, you lied when you were young, and now you lie when you're older. Such a shame.'
"Go away Cyrak, leave me alone." Claude nearly shouted.
'Perhaps the burden is too heavy for a young soul. I knew I'
"I can handle it, just shut the hell up!" Claude buried his face in his pillow and closed his eyes.
'...Very well, I leave you be.' Claude sighed in relief. He looked around and laid down, ready to fall asleep.
