Chapter Two
*\Luccia/*
\/\This chapter is corny, and there is no fixing it. I would not have made it if it wasn't necessary, gomen./\/
Vy must I get the food and thread? I'm not a maid. I thought as I picked out some bread. If I hadn't made that promise to Kidd I vould be at my house vith Karsh and Lucy. Oh vell, I might as vell try to enjoy this.
I picked out some fish, and at last, tread.
"That will be 200 gold pieces," the man at the counter said.
I paid him and left. "She said to meet at the entrance of town. Vell, that isn't that far away."
~~*~~
Upon reaching the town entrance I saw a girl, about sixteen years of age, petting a tiger that was by her side. She turned to me and spoke. "You must be Luccia."
"That is correct." I said, then asked, "Vat is your name?"
"I am Mechia." She answered.
That caught me by surprise. "How can you be Mechia? She is only a myth."
"I take it you've heard of me. I am not a myth. I am the goddess Mechia, and I would prefer that no one else knows that."
"U-understood." I stammered, shocked,
How can this girl be the Mechia!? I thought, This can not be. True Mechia has a human for, but this girl can not be the goddess of machinery. She must have proof.
"Before I can accept what you told me, I must have proof." I told her, "May I see the one of your light arrows?"
"Of course." She said, "Let's go out side the town.
Out side the town, she positioned her hands as if she was holding a bow. She drew back her right hand, aimed at a tree, and let go of what should have been a string. A beam of light shot from where her hand to the tree, making a 3 inch wide hole through it.
My mouth fell open in shock. I did not know what to say. It can not be, I thought, b-but it is she!
"H-h-how, how can this be?" I stammered.
"Is that proof enough, or do you want another demonstration?" She asked, annoyed.
"This i-is adequate." I said.
I did not want to annoy her with any other questions until she was in a better mood.
Just then, Kidd and someone that I have never seen before came into view.
"Hey, Luccia!" Kidd yelled, "Did ya get the supplies?"
I nodded, trying not to yell at her for showing up at a time like this.
"Hey sis!" the girl said, "I take it you found Luccia."
"More like she found me." Mechia told her.
SIS! I thought, Not only do I meet Mechia, but Kidd brings along Fantasia?! This can not be good.
Fantasia walked over to her sister, and they started to whisper about something. "Um," I said, braking into what ever they were saying, "Do you mind if we stop back at my house quick, I just remembered that I left something behind."
"Okay." the sisters said in unison, while Kidd just said her usual, "Why not, mate."
~~*~~
When I opened the door of the house Lucy came running down the stairs and called, "Mommyed!" \/\I needed an accent, so I'm just going to make her say 'ed' at the end of every sentence./\/
Note to self, I thought, make she stop saying ed when she does not need to. "Hello," I said, kneeling down so that I could pick her up. "Now, Vat did I say about you accent?"
"That I should stop using ited."
"Good girl, now go play, I have to get something. I can not stay long, sorry."
"O.K.ed!" she said, and ran off.
I went down into the basement, and got some stuff, then we left. Little did I know that it would be a while until I saw my little girl again.
