Hey guys! This chapter might be a bit short. Please R&R anyways. Poll is still up please go vote. PLEASE, cause so far its a 3 way tie!
It's been a few months since I left Magnolia, few weeks since I actually found out the name of the city. I got a map and by my heading I will enter Hakobe Gebirge within a day. It took me this long because when I got to a certain spot that looked good enough I would stop and train for a while. Now I can contain my lightning to just one part of my body when I'm irritated. I haven't worked on very many of the other emotions, but I will get to them soon.
I'm walking alone through the woods at this point. Oh, I forgot to mention. Roughly one month ago I found an egg. Its about the size of my torso and the width of my forearm. It has a pale purple base with blue, yellow, and pink spots. I keep it in a hand made backpack. I stop every so often to check that its staying warm.
I stopped in a small clearing against the side of a cliff. I took out some food that I had packed and made sure the egg was warm, I then found a seat and had dinner.
I was sitting on a rock with my back to the cliff side and the egg next to me, when I heard a crack in the trees nearby. I stood straight up in a battle stance. I quickly hid the egg while I knew nothing could see and went back to looking at where the sound had come from. The I saw a group of people slowly coming out from the tree line to my left, and another one coming from the right. They act like they haven't seen me yet so I try to blend in to the wall and watch what unfolds.
"Hey. Haven't seen you guys for a while." A man spoke. He looked a bit like Gray, bur he had white hair. Standing behind him was a tall muscular man who was bald. On the far side of him was a girl who had hot pink hair and was staring at one of the other guys, who had black hair.
"I could tell it was you by the parfume you gave off." He sounded creepy and looked even creepier. He was about Wendy's height and had brownish, orange hair. Behind him were 3 guys. The one on the far side had black hair and was really tan. In the middle stood a boy my age. He had gold, blonde hair. The one nearest to me had copper brown hair and he was a bit shorter than the tan one. They were all wearing suits.
"It's been so long!" This came from the pink haired girl as she ran and hugged the tan guy.
"It's not like I was waiting to see you to." He replied in a cryptic manner, as he pushed her away a bit.
"Ren stop acting like that, she really is in love with you. Show that you are to cause we know you are." The copper hair guys says. Ren blushes then pulls the girl into a deep hug.
"So what are you doing out here Lyon?" The guy my age asks.
"We came here to complete a mission that takes place in Hakobe Gebirge." The white haired man says.
"Do you have someone new with you guys I smell a new parfume here?" The creepy guy asks while sniffing at the air. Oh no, he could smell me. That's actually really creepy that he can smell me.
"No, Ichiya would you stop smelling the air." Lyon spoke with a curious tone.
"Well there is someone else here, but I don't think they're with either of us." The copper haired guy spoke while looking at a screen in front of him. "They should be over there." he says this part while pointing right at me.
I screeched surprised that he had known exactly where I was. I heard cracks above me and knew that my surprised magic just took effect so I quickly grabbed the egg and tossed it at the guy standing closes to me. Who just happened to be the same person to point at me. As soon as the egg was out of the area near me the rocks above me broke off and fell on me.
I was now buried under, who knows how much, rock. I had blocked most of the rocks with my arms since I did have dragon strength. A rock had landed on my foot, thus breaking my ankle. I slowly moved the rocks above me trying to find the sky. I finally saw a bit of it after several minutes. I got the rock off my ankle then tried to get out through the hole I made.
When I got out I saw Lyon, the tall muscular guy, and the cooper headed guy trying to dig me out. I sat at the edge of the hole as they watched me, jaws dropped, get to that point.
"Um... Can I get some help? I kinda broke my ankle when the rocks fell." I said it as if it were the most casual thing in the world.
"Ya. Sure." Lyon said this as he climbed up to where I was and helped me off the rocks.
"Thank you." I said, then i realized I didn't see the egg. Which was probably still in my bag. "Where's my bag?!" I said frantically looking for it after Lyon sat me on a log in the clearing.
"I have it." This was the guy my age. He came up to me and gave the bag to me. He then sat next to me."My name's Eve by the way." I ignored him and opened the bag and pulled out the egg and searched it for cracks.
"My name's Jura, that's Lyon," the tall muscular guy pointed to the white haired guy. "And that's Sherry." He said pointing to the pink haired girl. Who waved at me.
"I am the great Ichiya." The creepy guy spoke, which gave me shivers.
"I am Ren." This was the tan guy. "And he is Hibiki." He says again, pointing to the copper headed guy. During all this I still search the egg intently.
"I'm Kelly Dragalona. Nice to meet you all." I say looking up for the first time since I got my bag back.
"And what are you doing in this forest alone Kelly?" Jura asked.
"I'm on my way to Hakobe Gebirge. Just like you guys." I said pointing to him, Lyon, and Sherry.
"Cool we can go together!" Sherry says in an excited tone.
"Well we need to be on our way now. You all have fun." Hibiki says as he, Ren, and Ichiya walk off.
"Until we meet again fair maiden." Eve says as he takes my hand and kisses it. He then runs off, following the other 3 guys as they leave sight.
"So shall we be on our way?" Jura asks.
"Sure, but I'm gonna need help." I say as I gesture to my ankle. I then put my egg in my backpack and try to stand. I screech in pain as I put weight on my ankle. I'm about to fall back onto the log when Lyon shows up and picks me up bridal style. Jura take my bag and puts it on his back and we all start walking, me being carried.
"You don't have to carry me." I told Lyon after a few minutes of silence. He is walking behind Jura and in front of Sherry.
"Well I had to do something, you would have had trouble limping all the way to Hakobe Gebirge. And you would have slowed us down if you just limped there with us." He said bluntly.
"Thank you again." I say.
"Anytime." He replies then looks down and winks at me, causing me to look away with blush on my face.
We get to town after a day or 2. They dropped me off at a hospital and they go on their way. It has been 2 days since they left. Since then the egg hatched into a little pale purple cat like Carla. It had one blue eye and one pink eye. It also had yellow ears. I named it Melody after like my grandma.
We are gonna have quite an adventure when I can walk again.
I gave her a cat! I thought she deserved one because she is sorta like a dragon slayer. Well, that introduces the other couple combo backgrounds.
R&R. Hope you liked it.
Bigger time skip in the next chapter. Next chapter posted within a day or 2.
Have a good day.
