As I promised: I'd do GraflxRickel now. I'd say they'd make a pretty good relationships. Although what's more famous seems to be Grafl and Falma together. Now if you look at Chapter 4, it should have the couples in order. One more thing.

Magus Lyina Starshine: I love the bittersweet ending, sad but happy at the same time :) Sorry to be adding yet ANOTHER couple when you already have a list, but maybe Mega x Stya would be a nice ship :) Thanks, and you're an awesome author! Keep writing! - Oh my. I love to hear that reaction of the story, for I thought it was bittersweet too. And there is no need for any apologies, but I must apologize because to get to your request is going to take a while, but I promise I'll start working on MegaxStya as soon as I finish Selena x Vargas. And I don't know how to thank you. I just feel so...happy to have a compliment saying I'm an awesome writer! Hope you keep continuing to support my story!

Just to tell you: This [the story] isn't true. Or part of it is true...I don't really know, but nonetheless, it's Grafl x Rickel.

I think you noticed some mistakes on the last chapter, but I'm not bothering fixing them, because then I'll have to retype the whole thing, and the last chapter was 2,917 words and the most words in the whole story, the reason for those mistakes is probably because I'm not used to typing so many words in one chapter, and I may be rushing, and stuff.

Summary: Grafl held a pistol, with regular bullets containing thunder. Okay, yeah nothing special. He kept using those bullets, until...a girl said to have a gun containing "holy ice bullets". With Grafl's interest pumping up every time that name was said by the people, he decides to set off in hopes of encountering the highly mentioned girl whose real name is unknown, but Grafl is determined to find her and get to know more about not much about this girl herself, but the gun she wields. The Holy Ice Gun. The gun that only she can wield. That is why Grafl set out to find this girl. Will he be able to find her and get to know Holy Ice Bullet, or will he be lost, as have many other people who have caught interest in her, and never find her? Read to find out. Reviews are appreciated.

Please Note: This chapter is completely improvised. So it may not be as good, or accurate.

Also: This is going to take place in winter.

I will add Snow Cub/Lion Signas in this one. She's one of the new rare summon characters, and I kind of feel sorry for her after reading her history. A lot of people seem to like Red Slash/Blade Farlon, but I don't see how he fits into this story. If I find a good place, I promise I'll throw him in.

Grafl P.O.V.

I was walking down the street, really there was not much to do in a place like this. If I was bored, I would sometimes go pay a visit to the Elders, for they had interesting stories to tell me and some others who like to listen to their stories. I walked slowly toward their residence, keeping my eyes down as my feet crunched the snow lying on the ground. The snow sparkled all around me. I kept looking down, until finally I got to the Elders and I slowly raised my gaze, and walked inside in regular walking speed. The Elders turned as the door opened with a loud creaking sound. I was used to it. I waved to them, to which they all said different greetings ranging from a simple and little "hi" to big greetings like: "Hi Grafl. Glad you're here. How's life?"

One of the Elders offered me a chair so I could sit, and asked me, "so what brings you here, Grafl?"

I shrugged, and replied with my eyes closed, "Just bored. I just wanted to see if you had anything interesting to share with me."

After I made this statement, the Elders exchanged gazes for what seemed like 10 awkward minutes and said, "in fact, this may catch especially your interest."

I opened my eyes and sat up straight to look at the Elders who were looking back at me. "Especially my interest?" I repeated, confused. At the same time tilting my head slightly to one side.

One of them nodded in return and mused on: "See, there's a rumor going on in other places and this place too, except here isn't the best rumor-spreading place." I leaned in, for this was already catching my interest. "There is this girl..."

I interrupted mid-sentence, "and what's her name?"

The Elder shook his head and said, "nobody knows. Her name will remain a mystery. However, she gave herself a name, and kept it. Her name, which is not her real name...is Rickel."

I paused to take in this information before continuing, "that's a weird name, and it rhymes with nickel." I mused, snickering a little.

"You're not the first one to say that." I'm not surprised. "They say that in her home place, 'Rickel' translates into 'holy ice bullet'." He explained to me.

"Okay, what about her?"

"As her translated name suggests, she doesn't use any regular bullets, it's been widely said that she literally uses holy ice bullets."

"I guess that's reasonable." I replied. "Or rumor wouldn't be spreading. Am I right?" Then something came into me. "Where is she right now?"

The Elder stared at me in shock. "You...want to look for her?"

I nodded in response.

"Let me give you a fair warning, Grafl, for in fact, lots and lots and lots, more than 100 maybe, have set off just to find this Rickel girl, and they never came back."

I looked in shock. Did he just say more than 100 people!? Boy, a lot of people want her...and those more than 100 people never came back...

Nonetheless, I said. "Where is she?" I repeated.

The Elder said. "Currently, they say she is dwelling somewhere in the mountains, but that may be false." The Elder glanced at me. "I won't stop you. And don't say I didn't warn you."

I nodded and gave him a little thanks before standing and leaving. I was leaving to a new start of a journey. Sounds good to me.

Rickel P.O.V.

Every day, people come looking for me, so I decided to spend my majority of my time in the mountains so people wouldn't find me easily. I made mental notes constantly to wear something that will conceal my identity if I went down to the village. If I didn't, I have a feeling more like the whole entire population of the village would swarm around me. Big crowds make me feel uncomfortable, although I'm used to dealing with crowds not letting that bother me. Just to see what people down in the village were up to. I grabbed a cloak and made my way down the mountains, which was just as hard because when I'm going down, I tend to go faster and I run into trees and bushes a lot, so I just take my time. I still have a ton of time in my life still to burn up.

After I made it down the mountains with a scar shown on my arm from a tree branch scratching it. It was bleeding, and it stung when the wind blew on it. At times I would wince in pain and when I looked down, there was blood streaming down my arm. I looked back up and kept walking. I didn't feel like walking though. I felt hot, despite the cold wind blowing on my face. I started to bring up the pace, and ran as fast as my shoes could take me. I ran with my eyes hidden in a shadow, until I bumped into a figure. I didn't look up. I just screamed, while the figure looked in shock at me and said in a calming tone, "hey, are you okay? You don't have to scream. I'm not a bad guy." He reassured me.

At this statement, I looked up to see a boy about my age. He had dark tan hair, and he wore a black hat with yellow goggles on the helm of his hat. He had a black jacket with dark yellow and the bottoms slightly tattered and ripped. Underneath this, he had a blue shirt, black pants, and silver boots. He had black gloves decorated with stripes of dark yellow, and inside one of those hands was a pistol with a handle that was gold or yellow, and in the middle of the gold/yellow stood a bright blue gem. It shone in the sunlight. The rest of it was silver with yellow decorations. A lot of black, yellow, and silver on him. Adding to that, he even had a necklace I just realized was there. It had blue and yellow beads with a blue diamond shaped gem with a thin yellow surrounding as a border. I stared at him wide eyed. After a while he spoke. "Um...are you alright?"

To this I replied hastily after realizing I was staring at the boy for a long time, "oh..uhm...yes. I'm fine."

"That's good." He glanced at me with his purple eyes and mused on, "you were just screaming like a lunatic, no offense."

I blushed as I said, "I-I'm not really offended."

"I forgot, my name is Grafl. What's yours?"

Oh boy, I couldn't tell my name, in case Grafl set out after me too. I quickly came up with a name. "Ashley." I replied firmly so he wouldn't be suspicious of me.

"Well, Ashley, it's nice to meet you." Though there was still something in Grafl's eyes that said he wasn't sure that was really her name before asking me, "why are you wearing that cloak."

I guess I had to improvise now, "I...get cold easily." I said as I did my best chattering sound indicating that I'm cold. "It's just to keep warm."

To my relief Grafl nodded and said to me, "do you want something to eat? I know of this good place."

This reminded me of how hungry I actually was as I said, "yeah, I would like that." I said as Grafl took my hand and we walked to this place together.

Grafl P.O.V.

I was still suspicious even after Ashley explained to me that she wore that cloak was because she got cold easily. It just didn't sound...right. As we talked I asked, "where do you come from?"

"I come from a village south from here. Right now, I just hang out in the mountains. There is someone there who looks over me."

I started to get curious about this 'someone' Ashley mentioned. She said that her name was Signas. "She's lived in the mountains alone her whole life. She's struggled her way through her life, and with that experience, she taught me the way to live in the mountains."

"Is that so?" I asked her. "Mind taking me there?"

She nodded in return.

Rickel P.O.V.

After we arrived in the mountains, to which I got a little scratch on my shoulder because of the branches of the trees around the mountains. Soon after we reached the peak, a figure suddenly attacked Grafl, to which Grafl made a surprised gasp. After clearly being able to distinguish the figure, I gasped in surprise, "Signas!"

Signas looked up at me and replied, "well, you're back, but with this strange man in here."

Grafl murmured, "Ashley..."

Signas raised an eyebrow, "Ashley? Who's Ashley?"

"I made up that name." I whispered so only Signas could hear.

"It's about time Grafl knew the truth then." Signas replied. I had a feeling she was going to say that from the start.

"Grafl...can you stand." I asked after a few moments hesitation.

Grafl groaned and opened his eyes and said, "yeah..."

"Sorry. I lied to you. My real name..." I pulled my hood off to show my face, "...is Rickel." I stated.

To this Grafl widened his eyes, "you're...Rickel?"

I nodded in return.

Grafl P.O.V.

[back in the mountains]

Okay so...that was pretty random. I managed to find Rickel, which was great, and I was walking down with Rickel, back in her way with the hood over her head. I didn't really know what to say, because right now, was an awkward silence. Finally Rickel said, "Grafl...before I go back to my hometown, I want to be able to say goodbye to you. But just saying goodbye is not satisfying."

I was surprised, not by saying goodbye was not satisfying, but her going back to her hometown, "really?"

Rickel nodded and hugged me. After this, kissed me. Rickel's lips did feel like holy ice minus bullets.

Rickel P.O.V.

"This is goodbye." I said.

"Is that so?" Grafl said, sadness was marked in his eyes.

"I'll come and visit someday...I promise." I said to Grafl, before turning my back on him.

"Thank you." Grafl whispered, to which I paused and turned back and said, "I'll definitely be back. No 'ifs' or 'buts'."

We both smiled, and parted ways.

Sorry for shorter chapter, I'll try to make the next one a little longer, and sorry for the extreme late update. Requests are appreciated, also, tell me how you feel in the reviews. What I could do better or stuff like that. Anyway, that was Rickel x Grafl, so I hoped you enjoyed that. Stay tuned for Atro x Alma! Bye-Bye.
