Sera grabed wildly at the branches as she fell rapidly to the awaiting earth below. Finnly she grasped one only to have it slip from her fingers and fall hard on the ground. Vainly she tried to move only to have the world around her spin and fall into the abyssful darkness of uncounsesness.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sera awoke slowly on the cold ground. Slowly she opened her eyes to see the back sky above her. Slowly she tried to move only to fall back on the ground breathing heavely. Her entire body throbed with more pain then she'd ever felt. Then agine, she'd just jumped from that floating thing.
She looked around vainly and saw she was still in the forest. Zell or Dilandau, whatever he wanted to call himself, hadn't found her just yet. Gritting her teeth she pulled herself into a sitting position and leaned up agenst the tree behind her. Breathing heavely she relized her had a deep gash
across her right leg where the blood had long since dried and created a makeshift scab. Needless to say she relized she'd been lucky to come out with just that; not to mention the numerouse scratches across her body. Slowly she pulled herself up into a standing position and looked around.

"K, I gotta find help so......guess i'm walken....."she said aloud.

Feeling an odd since of safety at hearing her own voice she hobbled forward. Her heart pounding as she did so. Finnly she saw the light of a fire up ahead. A weary smile flickered on her lips as she walked forward. Fearful it could be them she hide behind a tree and looked in. It was 4 men.
Each looking scruber looking then the outher. Swords and knives layed near them. Dangerouse looking were they. She got that same vibe from them as she did Zell. Fear creeping into her brain she turned to run. She felt it before she herd it. She'd steped on a twig. Emeditly she was draged
from the safety of the forest by on eof the men. The burly man that held her grasped her hair and shoulder in his fat hands as he draged her infrot of his friends.

"Well, lookey what I found, haha. You'd catch a nice one on the market, wouldn't ya girli."

It was a statement not a question. Her body trembling Sera just stared at them dumbly. Sera squeezed her eyes shut. Wishing more then ever for someone, anyone to come and save her.

"Why don't you just leave her alone?"

Sera turned to see who'd spoken. He was dressed commenly in black pants and cotten blue shirt. His hair was purplish brown, and his eyes. The deepest brown she'd ever seen. He looked about her age. 15. But the serouseness of his face and eyes told you he'd seen more then a boy his age
normaly would. His expression was sober and for a momment Sera wondered if this boy could really save her. I mean the guys that were holding her were true cut throat killers. Though the boy looked old she wasn't sure if he really had what it took to kill.

The one holding her laughed,"And why don't you mind yer own bussness boy, this dosen't concern you."

Sera noticed for the first time the way his hand was resting on his sword and suddenly all doubts about him not saveing her were gone in a flash,"It concerns me if your bullinga girl who is defensless."

Savegly Sera felt him push her to the ground near a tree,"Then lets have a little fight over it. You win you get the girl. I win I both get to keep 'er and kill you."

in a fluide momment the man unsheathed his sword and swiped the blade in a deadly arc that would have decaptated her hero had he not pulled out his own sword and skillfully bloaked it and slashed his own sword at the man's chest whitch he barely maneged to bloak it with a more then
shakey hand. Sera stared open mouthed at the deadly grace of the boy in a momments time he'd diss-armed the man and had him laying on the ground at his mercy. The man got up slowly and then toke off running with his men right behind him.

Smirking slightly from his victory he sliped his sword back into his sheath and walked over to Sera, his smirk disspered into that of small smile,"You o.k.?"

Sera forced a weary smile,"I soppose. Thankyou for helping me.....whats your name?"

"Viol. Whats yours?"

Sera brushed a strand of golden hair from her eyes,"Sera."

"Sera.......never herd that sort of a name before. It has a nice ring to it."Frowning suddenly he grabed her arm gently and inspected the all to manyy brusises and cuts. Some looked resent..outhers old,"What happened? Did they do this to you?"

Sera shook her head slowly,"No. Just someone from my home town.........Do you know where I am exactly?"

He nodded,"Yes. Your near the fort of Astoria. The Knight Allen Shizare and his men are near here."

Sera cocked her head,"Who?"

"Allen Shizare....knight of Calei. Where are you from?"

Sera looked up at the sky for the first time and gasped at the fact her world was in the sky! Swallowing the lump that rose in her throat she pointed up at her world,"Their."

His eyes widened,"The Mystic Moon!"

Sera nodded numbly,"Yea."

He brushed a lock of his dark hair from his dazzling eyes,"So why are you here?"

Sera shrugged,"Don't know. Just appeard here. I guess those guys I saw before weren't Zell, Michel, Criss, Carlos, and Max."

Viole looked up at the sky for a momment and then turned to say something to Sera only he never go the chance. She was gone. He looked to his left then saw her being held up by a sword at her throat.
He reached to grab his own but stoped as he felt the cold steal press agenst his throat.
