Ch. 4 The atelier
Rue flew over to where Mint was fighting the guardian.
Rue: Mint!
He drew the Arc Edge. He ran over to her and fought with her. But it was useless; the guardian was too strong for them. As it cornered them, another strange monster landed on the guardian's back. Sinking its long fangs into the guardian's neck, it sucked the blood out of the guardian. As it was weakened, Mint saw her chance and finished it off. The winged creature then flew down to where the two were standing.
Creature: Are you all right?
Rue did a double take as Mint gasped.
Mint: Who are you?
A purple light surrounded the weird creature as it shape-shifted.
Rue: Lianne!
Mint: You know her?
Rue: Her name's Lianne. (He turned to Lianne.) What-
He began, then stopped. He was about to ask her what she was, but he knew that question could hurt.
Rue: How can you do that?
Lianne (lowered her head.) I don't know. I actually remember very little of my past. What I do remember is cloudy, and it's not pretty.
Mint looked at her, almost in pity.
Mint: I know how it feels to have a hard past. (She put her arms around the girl.) And Rue, he just found out who he was a year ago.
Lianne (looked at Rue.) Really?
Rue: (nodded.) I'll tell you when we get back to town. Right now, let's investigate the atelier.
In side, they found the usual: books, manuscripts, and the diary of the magician who lived there. They found out that the magician, Tiea, had done research on the [relic] they were looking for, Centurion.
Mint: Weird name for a [relic].
Lianne (frowned.) Centurion? Sounds kinda familiar. (She shook her head.)
Mint: Dang I can't read anymore.
Lianne took it from her.
Lianne: Let me see.
She studied it for a minuet.
Lianne: I see. I know where it is I think. (She looked up.) It's near here actually.
Rue: (nodded.) OK. Let's go show Klaus what we found.
Back at the inn, Klaus looked over the diary.
Klaus: Lianne, how did you know how to read this?
Lianne: (shrugged.) It just came to me naturally. (She shook her head.) I dunno.
Klaus studied the manuscript a little more.
Klaus: I'll need time to read this over carefully.
In the lobby, rue and Lianne sat on a couch while Mint and Elena went to their rooms.
Lianne: Rue.
Rue looked at her.
Lianne: What did Mint mean when she said you just found out who you were?
Rue: (sighed) About 6 years ago I awoke in some ruins. I didn't remember anything before that. Soon, I found Claire. She was like a sister to me, but one day, she got killed. I went to look for a [relic] to bring her back to life, and ended up in Carona. I met Klaus, Mint and everybody, and eventually found the Dewprisim. But the Aeon who created the Dewprisim, well, he also created me. I'm a doll of Valen. That's how I can transform. * That reminds me! * Hey Lianne.
Lianne: Yes?
Rue: How come you can transform? That was you back at the atelier, right?
Lianne: *Oh crap. I can't tell him yet. I just can't! * Umm, that's kinda a long story.
Rue: (smiling) we have time.
Lianne: No, we don't
Rue gasped as Lianne got up and ran out of the door. He tried to run after her, but she was too fast. He lost her in the crowd.
Voice: Hey, Rue!
Short, I know. but the next one will be longer! I need reviews, please!!!!!
