Anise's Adventure: Chapter 4
Anise POV
Everyone was sitting down in Guy's room, Noelle sat down on the edge of Guys bed and he sat beside her. Everyone listened to Jade as he told us what was the book explained.
"It says that a dragon of each type of fonon protects a different Sephiroth. Pyra was most likely the dragon of the fifth fonon, though I don't quite understand why she would be in the Zao Ruins Sephiroth. Perhaps it was the heat there... At any rate, two of the dragons are now dead, the dragons of the Zao Ruins and Mt. Zaleho Sephiroths. It concerns me that there are still others."
I frowned, confused, "If they're supposed to be protecting the Sephiroths, then why didn't they show up to stop the Commandant? Does it say anything about that, Colonel?" I asked.
He looked through some of the pages again, "...I do not see where they talk about that Anise, but there's a chance something prevented them from stopping Van...perhaps Van's use of the passage rings was written in the Score, and they learned how to deal with that accordingly." He paused for a moment, looking concerned about something.
"What is it, Colonel?" Kairi asked, her brows knitted together in worry as she clasped her hands together in front of her chest. Sync put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her.
"It shows the cave Pyra inhabited. Is this where you fought the dragon, Kairi?"
Jade walked over to Kairi and showed her the page he was looking at. She nodded and looked up at Jade when she saw it. Jade went back to his spot while flipping through the book some more, stopping near the last page.
"It seems the dragon of the Fourth Fonon, water, was banished, and the ice dragon is taking it's place..." he then closed the book and put it down.
"I wonder where it was banished to..." Guy said thoughtfully.
Everyone was quiet in thought for what felt like ten minutes before Noelle asked a question and broke the silence.
"Anise, didn't you say that Tataroo Valley had problems as well?"
I blinked, suddenly remembering that. Thank Yulia Noelle reminded me. "Yep, some of the scientists were talking about it - they said some weird stuff is happening there. What you think, Colonel? Should we investigate?"
Jade put his hand under his chin in thought for a while, then he smiled at me. It was nice when he actually smiled. 'Ah! No time for that Anise!'
"I believe we should go to the Tataroo Valley's Sephiroth and find out if it's another dragon. If so we can see if we can ask the dragon some questions that might help us understand what is going on. However, there's a good chance it will want to fight as well."
"That's a good idea, but first Guy has to rest one more night, then he can join us again for Tataroo Valley."
Guy was about to answer Kairi when Noelle got off the bed, unhappy.
"No! I will not let Guy go back to fighting after he got better! I won't allow it!"
I stepped forward with my hands up, trying to calm Noelle down, but she snapped at me.
"No, Anise! This is all your fault to begin with! You're not a Fon Master at all, you can't even use Daathic Fonic artes! You wouldn't be able to protect Guy, you don't care if he dies!"
I looked at Noelle in shock. What she said was true but it still hurt to hear it from Noelle of all people. I looked down. ashamed. It really was my fault. She was right, I wasn't cut out to be a Fon Master like Ion. I was shocked when Sync defended me.
"Hold it right there, Noelle. Anise couldn't do anything about it! Stop blaming her for every little thing. Guy is alive and healthy again, if he wants to fight with us again he can. It's his choice not yours." I was surprised at Sync, it looked like everyone was except for Kairi, who was frowning at Noelle.
"T-thank you Sync..."
Sync crossed his arms against his chest and looked away. "Tch, whatever. I hate it when people blame others for their problems. Next time someone blames you for something you should stand up for yourself, you idiot."
I smiled even though he called me an idiot. Kairi hugged me and pulled me away from everyone else. She took me to the room she and Sync shared and locked the door behind us, telling me to sit down. I hopped on their queen size bed.
"Don't hate Noelle for what she said...I know it must have hurt you, but she doesn't want to lose Guy. Just let her calm down and she'll be back to the normal kind Noelle we all know in no time. You can stay in our room while I go get Alicia and Sync to go shopping, so rest up."
I yawned a little and nodded my head before crawling under the blankets. I heard Kairi open and close the door and then I was out.
Kairi's POV
When I stepped out of the room I sighed. I couldn't believe what Noelle said. Anise worked so much harder then anyone in our group just to become the Fon Master. She knew she would be in constant danger just from the people that didn't agree with her being a Fon Master.
I was a little surprised that Sync stood up for Anise though, he hated her from the start but I was so happy he was actually trying to be nice to her. I walked outside of the Inn and got stopped by Jade.
"Yes, Colonel?"
"Is Anise in her room?"
"Nope, she's in mine and Sync's room resting. It really hurt her deeply hearing all that from Noelle, you know? Do you know where Alicia is?"
Jade told me she was with Sync shopping to get more items, so I thanked him and left knowing Jade was going to see Anise. I went to the store to see Sync and Alicia paying for the items they got.
"There you two are." I smiled when Alicia hugged me happily, I put my hand on her head kissing her on forehead.
"Kairi, Sync and I got lots of items for when we go to Tataroo Valley. Can I come with you? I want to help too."
I bent down to her eye level, shaking my head, "I'm sorry, Alicia, but you can't come with us. It's to dangerous for a young girl like you."
"But I'm 10 years old now! I want to help fight with everyone else too." she pouted making me giggle as I hugged her. I looking at Sync "What you think, Sync?"
"Tch...I don't think it'll be a good idea to let such a young girl like Alicia fight along side us, she should stay at the Inn."
"Sorry Alicia, but you have to stay at the Inn while we go to Tataroo Valley."
"B-but!"
"No buts! You're too young to fight." Sync told her when he put his hand on her head, making her pout.
"I'm not young! I'm 10 years old! I'm a big girl now." she whined at the last part making both of us laugh.
Alicia, Sync, and I walked back to the Inn and sat down at the table they had in the lobby, talking about what we should do when we meet another dragon. Of course Alicia wanted to help but we made her stay in Anise's room, since Anise was in our room, so she wouldn't get any ideas. It was quiet, and we were relaxing when I thought of something to ask Sync.
"Hey, um Sync?"
He locked his green eyes onto my blue ones, "Yeah?"
"I'm wondering...do you want any kids in the future?"
He turn his head away probably trying to hide his blushing from me. Cute.
"...I...guess, it might be nice...Why are you asking that all of a sudden?" he looked back at me with a raised eyebrow.
"I just wanted to know, that's all...We can worry about that when this is all over." I smiled brightly at Sync, which made him blush and look away again.
I thought about how Anise was doing. She was probably sleeping peacefully, but yet again Jade went in there, so they're probably talking... I wondered if Jade actually cared for our Fon Master after all...
Anise's POV
When Kairi let me rest in her room, I fell asleep right away. I was peacefully sleeping when I woke up to the sound of the door opening and closing. I opened my eyes and sat up to see the Colonel. I blinked and tilted my head sideways when he pushed his glasses up on his nose.
"Is something wrong, Colonel?"
He walked over to the chair near the bed and sat down.
"No. I'm quite surprised at Sync, but more surprised at Noelle."
I rolled my eyes, smiling. "It's fine, I kinda deserved that Colonel...Guy shouldn't join us for a while. I kinda know how Noelle is feeling right now..." I was hiding my pain behind the fake smile I learned to use. As the Fon Master, I have to care about everyone else's problems, but I hate to bother anyone. I want to deal with everything by myself. It's my burden, no one else's.
"Oh dear. Just what am I going to do with you, Anise?"
"What do you mean, Colonel?" I frowned.
"You shouldn't let what Noelle said get to you."
"I know that!"
I was annoyed, I knew I shouldn't let what Noelle said get to me. I saw Jade was about to say something, but the door opened fast, and Kairi told us something was happening in Tataroo Valley. I jumped out of the bed, completely forgetting that Jade was about to say something. People could get hurt if we don't do anything. This dragon could be more powerful then Pyra, so I hoped we could be able to talk to it instead of it trying to kill us.
Guy was all healed and ready on the Albiore and Kairi left Alicia at the Inn. Noelle was extremely quiet as she drove; I could see she didn't want to talk to anyone right then. She was probably still angry with me... I prayed to Yulia that everything would turn out okay.
