Here is the first of the Time Quest Chronicles here's Raian's story! All the worlds he visits will be contained in one chapter!
I own nothing except the stuff I made up
Raian
A terrible Beast suddenly stopped its awesome rampage then when lights burst from it's body, it disappeared into nothingness a light then shot out and split into five streaking far away from each other
"Hey can you hear me?"
Raian awoke with a bit of a groan, "Another dream….Maybe I do need a vacation."
He saw a red colored leaf fall into his window and he realized what today was.
"The Festival!" Raian declared getting up and getting ready.
A Castle appears as a gust of wind with blue petals blows in the wind a soft glow reveals a large tree and a village
[Galio]
The two rode on their Chocobos bringing with them some food for the harvest, as they passed Raian saw a cavalry of soldiers tending to their wounded,
"Hey do you need any help?" Peritus asked he was a tall man though a bit older in years with greying brown hair a dirty white shirt with leather armor and beige pants,
The men looked up they brightened when they saw.
"Hey it's Peritus, it's an honor sir!" one of them said,
"Wow I can't believe it its him!" another said,
"Peritus….how do they know you?" Raian asked with an arched eyebrow,
"Are you kidding kid! Pertius is a legend!" yelled one,
"Oh right the war I come to think of it you've never told me any of those stories."
"Maybe later!" Peritus replied going down further,
"Where have I heard that before?" Raian deadpanned.
After healing some of the soldiers the two continued to the castle Raian had been to town many times but never, on the festival they had always put it off for training.
"Finally!" Raian stated,
"You sound like you're going to have fun." Peritus pointed out.
"Well, yeah, it only comes once a year." Raian replied getting serious.
After placing his ride in the stables Raian, walked off into town looking around at all the decorations he was amazed at the area, he heard music and dancing coming over to listen he saw people dancing, laughing and children playing he was suddenly bumped into by a person wearing a large hooded cloak.
"Hey be careful." Raian stated,
"Oh I-I'm sorry." The cloaked figure a girl replied,
"Its fine." Raian replied brushing it off,
"Um were you wanting to dance?" Raian asked the girl looked away,
"Well they'll let anyone do it, go on." Raian told her, hesitant she finally went but before she did,
"Um could you tell no one you saw me?" she asked nervously,
Raian snickered, "What you not allowed to be at the festival."
She hung her head wiping off Raian's smile, "Oh, sorry, you have my word this is a good opportunity for everyone to relax." He replied the girl rushed in and began to dance, in her cloak but laughing all the same Raian watched for a couple minutes before heading off to get something to eat,
"Heeey!" yelled a voice Raian turned to see a boy with brown hair and blue eyes wearing a uniform for the kingdom.
"Noel." Raian acknowledged,
"Hey Raian finally at the festival I see Mr. Sorry can't I am training." Noel replied mockingly.
"You know I was telling the truth."
"Yeah I know that." Noel replied,
"And you're not one to talk! I haven't seen you in two years." Raian pointed out,
"Yeah, but on to the point, have you seen a girl in a robe?" Noel asked,
"Uh no I haven't why?" Raian replied remembering his promise,
"Well if you see her let me know alright?" Noel asked running off,
Raian sighed, "What have I gotten myself into." He then walked off and helped himself to some bread,
"This better not come back to bite me." He thought chewing there was suddenly screaming and Raian just gave a glazed look to no one in particular.
"Sure why not?" he asked running towards the chaos.
He saw that the whole festival was up in flames on the ground was Noel Raian rushed over and pulled him out of the smoke,
"Raian!" he heard Peritus yell,
"Over here!" Raian called,
Pertius soon appeared and looked over Noel,
"Is he alright?" Raian asked,
"Just unconscious," Peritus muttered after looking Noel over.
"Where's that girl?" Raian thought, he then rushed back to look,
"LET ME GO AAH!" he heard someone scream.
he looked over to see a girl with Cyan eyes filled with fear silver hair with gold streaks she tried hitting her fist against a large muscular man who had a tight grip on her wrist she screamed louder only to have a cloth pulled over her mouth and tied to the back of her head her arms were then tied as well.
The men then picked her up and ran off Raian then rushed after them dodging fallen debris as he went he saw that they had stolen a cart and jumping after it he managed to hold on to the back keeping low so not to be noticed,
The carriage eventually came to a stop at the middle of a cave when the thugs and their captive came out one of them hit the horse that had been pulling it hard to make it run Raian had to jump and dive into a nearby bush to avoid being seen.
"Let's go princess!" one of them stated shoving her in the cave,
"Princess…..oh shoot!" Raian stated In his thoughts turning pale, he had just put the heir to all of Galio in life threating danger.
"I'd better fix this." He muttered he snuck into the cave it was a bit of a tunnel towards where the two voices were talking he heard words like brat, way and Nesia would win the war, Nesia was the warring Nation with Galio,
He listened a bit more carefully when he got close,
"We hold her for Ransom why just kill this brat when we can use her to end the war on Nesia's terms?" said a man who had a dark energy pulsing around him the other man looked very bulk and violent.
"I say we kill her here and now with her dead, Galio will eventually slaughter itself out of revenge!" he yelled the girl seemed to be frightened of him pulling back into a corner Raian's hand suddenly slipped and he yelped when his chin hit the ground.
"What was that?" the less stronger of the two asked.
"I'll go see." Said his partner he looked out the cave he was close to discovering Raian's hiding spot but Raian thinking quickly grabbed a pebble and threw it distracting him and the other guard who went to join in the search,
Raian immediately rushed out towards the girl who started to scream under her gag.
"Shh don't worry I'm here to save you." He stated pulling the cloth down.
"BEHIND YOU!" she yelled but it was too late Raian had been sent into the wall by a Dark Firaga spell,
"I knew that would flush you out, you're too young for a Galian soldier so you must be a brat trying to play hero." The Magician snarked.
Raian held his breath he had hoped that he could just sneak in and out he hadn't bothered to bring a weapon he could fight hand to hand combat but against a Magician…..what chance did he have?
"You have one chance to walk away boy forget you saw her and you'll live to see the sun rise once more." The Magician replied.
"Sorry, I don't listen to Nesians and if I did that I'd be as bad as you scum bags!" Raian spat.
"THUNDER!" the Magician yelled Raian rolled away only to be struck in the gut by the other thug, Raian sent a kick to his face to avoid being grabbed, he then threw some dirt in the magician's eyes
He then hid again trying to think of something, something that would get them both out alive,
"I just have to get her out of here if I do that and distract them long enough to escape myself then maybe….just maybe don't get your hopes up Raian."
"We know you're here boy come out!" yelled the Magician.
Raian picked up a rock and threw it at the head of the bigger one he then rolled to another rock watching carefully to take the bait he grabbed what he felt was a suitable sharp rock and made his way towards the princess.
He started to rub the rock against the rope keeping his eyes on the thugs and disappearing and distracting every time they go suspicious it seemed to be working however as he went to get rid of the rest of the rope on her wrist he felt a searing pain in his arm gripping it he suddenly felt his mind buzz as his vision began to fade,
"Toxic slash a very useful attack, especially when dealing with brats like you!" the Magician stated smirking.
"We need the Princess alive but feel free to finish this one off however you see fit." The Magician told his partner Raian could see the bigger one grinning murderously at him as his vision waved in and out Raian didn't even have the strength to speak now….however he suddenly heard new voices shouting his name.
He suddenly fell into darkness soon he found himself falling he suddenly found himself on a beach there was a boy with spiky red hair just sitting on the beach waiting for something,
"Hey Kid." Raian stated but nothing he went to tap him on the shoulder but it went right through and now that he thought about it there were no sounds either the sun was setting the kid looked about eight years old he shouldn't be out here at night alone, Raian sat there watching the sun set it was the only thing he could do.
He had dozed off for a little bit then woke up and realized that it was dark now and the kid was gone he looked around and saw that he was gone, he sighed.
"Now what, how do I get out of here?" he asked himself. From the water came a bright light he shut his eyes and was consumed by it,
"I'll met you at the beach when I get back." Sora told him the crimson looked up with sad eyes filling with hope,
"You Promise?"
Raian suddenly felt a bone crushing headache and his arm felt like it was on fire,
"I need ice now!" he heard a voice say his head suddenly felt cooler Raian tried to open his eyes but shut them when light entered.
"Noel's picking up the antidote on his way back here, you're lucky that Esuna spell saved you but your still sick as a dog….stupid boy." He heard Peritus growl,
"It's not like I wanted to be poisoned, it was my fault anyway I had to do something what would you had done…..not get poisoned." Raian thought.
Over the next few days Raian felt his strength slowly but surely return it was after that Noel had come with an antidote that this got more prominent.
Finally Raian finally felt like waking up he sat up and stretched his arms and got to work about a half hour later he was busy working on his stealth and hand to hand combat,
"Training again I see, I was afraid you'd turn into a ripe old vegetable seeing how all you've done is eat and sleep for the past three weeks." Peritus told him,
Raian sheepfully looked at himself it didn't look like he had gained any weight, Peritus laughed,
"Relax, you didn't eat much." Peritus told him,
"That's good but three weeks really, it felt shorter." Raian replied,
"Yes well I doubt between the sleeping and the fevers and groaning you couldn't tell." Peritus replied before Raian hung his head.
"I messed up didn't I? I should've known she was the princess when Noel asked me about her, but, I didn't why?" Raian asked.
He looked over at Peritus who had a smug look on his face.
"It's certainly not that!" Raian promptly snapped his face turning red slightly.
"Can you deny it Raian, you're getting older." Peritus replied,
"Yeahhh. Not that old!" Raian replied as they suddenly saw forest stop around them then a beam of light shot up a little from the ground out of it came a man who grinned at Raian who just watched him warily,
He was a tall man with no hair his skin was very pale and his eyes were a bright red, he had black line markings on his skin he wore a robe from the castle, he was one of the King's advisors he held a staff with a black handle and a glowing red and yellow crystal sitting in what looked like Talons.
"Cero." Peritus stated cautiously.
"Good the boy's up and about I was afraid that we'd have to fill the town air with the stench of burning flesh, you know a heroes death." Cero joked.
"Okay….why would I be burned in the city?" Raian asked.
"To honor you, and the King's orders if you were uh no longer with us." Cero replied.
"I'm alive so what are your orders now?" Raian asked.
"You have an invite from the King himself come to the palace we'll be expecting you there by sundown this is opportunity you won't want to miss," Cero replied disappearing,
Raian looked at Peritus, "I'm going to be executed aren't I?"
