Guldove's Wedding

Kid's Thoughts

By Maria

'Oi, how is it I could of gotten trapped in this mess. I be a member of the Radical Dreamers and oughta known not to make promises of love. The boy is headin' down the road of heart break wit' me.'

"I WANTCHA TO BE MY WIFE! I WANTCHA TO BE MY WIFE! MY WIFE MY WIFE!"

'*groans* Fine mess to be in. I won't deny the boy is good lookin' and my heart skippin' beats with him close to me, but that's just because of what he said at the dock! I'm reminded of everything he said. I'll admit he has a lot of confidence asking me to be his wife, especially since we weren't alone at that moment. Heh, his cheeks were so red from embarrassment and maybe some frustration. I'll have to make sure he doesn't mumble any more, maybe we'll work on that. Er...already planning on staying along by his side?'

"I don't care about your past....I don't wantcha to feel forced..."

'The past that haunts me keeps me from wanting to be too close to anyone, in any way friend or relationship wise. I've lost so much and don't want to witness more suffering and death. I most be goin' soft, is what it is. I've lived on my own long enough to know it's better to keep your distance and fight to survive and what you deem worthy. No one forces me to do or say nothin' Serge must of realized that at the dock that day...heh.'

"Just tell him you will."

'Was what Serge told me. It wasn't his concern but I suppose my glance in his direction led him to think I wanted his opinion...and I kinda did want it. He's a smart one and he's proven to be a trust worthy ally, so I put confidence and belief in his words and companionship. Every time I get into a nick or trouble he's there to back me up, especially when it came to Lynx. The demon who took away my happiness at a younger age, he took my sister and home. Burned it all down...he can never be forgiven for his cold blooded killing. And if I shall be joinin' him in the flames of hell then I await it. Hmm...Korcha wouldn't allow it. He's another one who has been there to get me out of trouble. You can't be going out of your way to protect me and not have me notice it. At first I thought he was foolish and tried to shove him away. I don't like to have my space cramped, but my softness proved to be willing to interfere as well.'

'The battle with the Fire Dragon is a good example of this...The hot lava of the tunnels with in Mount Pyre were extinguished with the use of the Blue Dragon's Ice Breathe. We journeyed forward through all the turns and caves until we reached where the Red Dragon came to meet with us. Such a small Dragon but brave and strong. He challenged us all to a fight, we agreed. There were moments where I wasn't going to make it but Korcha watchful eyes were always ready with his healing elements. At one point when the Red Dragon was attackin' me and I was nearly my end Korcha jumped into the path of the Dragons blow. I never expected someone to save my life with the possibility of losing theirs...'

"Kid! Dodge his next punch Kid!" Serge called out to her from five feet away.

But she was too tired to just move out of it's path.

'This is my end...' she thought.

Korcha stood witnessing the one he vowed to protect about to be killed. He ran and jumped faster and higher than he ever had, in front of he Dragon and shielding Kid from any more blows from the Red Dragon.

'I won't stand and allow Kid to be taken down, by anyone!' The blow knocks Korcha to his knees but he quickly stands and gives the Red Dragon a taste of his own medicine with five hits with his Iron lure and the use of his Aquaball Element. The Red Dragon was brought down to his knees, weakened enough for them to know their victory was nearing. Serge used his Recover All Element to bring the team up to full strength and Kid provided the final blows to the Red Dragon, who promised their meeting once more.

"You alright Kid?" Korhca asked smiling up at her. "Nice moves on that Dragon."

"Thanks! But...take care of yerself! No need in both of us dyin' this soon in the journey, especially with the lack of a Revive Element. Thanks none-the-less Korcha."

'What was I really wanted to say to him at that moment. I wanted answers to why he risked his life for me. Sure I know how he feels, but could his feelin's be that strong that he'd give everything up when I may not be his wife as he wishes?! Why does he feel so? How can someone believe in love in first sight? Lovin' a total stranger?! I could never do that...that is why I told him I had to think about it before I could answer him. What were my words to him then?'

"Ok, understood! But this ain't somethin' I can agree to on a whim. I'll consider it until I settle things with Lynx, that is. That's all I can promise. I can't guarantee you anything more."

'A promise but not a guarantee...Lynx is taken care of now and Korcha has not asked of my decision, we aim for the final enemy now and I've known long back what my answer was to be. Even with the little hints his younger sister, Mel has given me, hasn't affected what I've decided. Cute lil'un, she could grow up to be quite a fighter, I could even get her into the Radical Dreamers, but that would be no way for a girl with things going her way. She has become like a sister to me as well...I've gone softer than ever and created a bond between us. Well I haven't shared my decision with anyone and prefer to keep it that way, even though I would like some guidance and reassurance that I am making the wisest chose. I don't want to hurt anyone but that maybe an impossibility in life. So may the Six Dragon Gods be with me when I let Korcha know what path I have chosen for myself.'

"My Wife...Love at first sight...I don't wantcha to be pressured..."

'Let me have chosen wisely. For I can't turn back once everything is said and done. The only thing I wander is...what would the other me do if faced with this same situation? Would she marry or go on her with her life as she is? That answer can't be answered for the other me didn't have to deal with what I have. Heck she may be already married...or dead...anything is possible. I should ask Serge to seek out the other me in his world. Maybe that too is an impossibility. There is no more time to think...I face my destiny now. I must face it with all confidence and strength. Time Devourer here come the ones who shall change what awaits us all...'

End of Kid's Thoughts.

~I don't think I got into her personality very well. I haven't beaten the game, heck I don't know a lot of things that happen after you defeat the Red Dragon(and Marcy, Karsh, and Zoah)...*sweatdrop* so I don't know what kind of relationship any of the characters get and the other enemies you fight and all the little details that make up the back ground to each of them. ^_^ So I mainly go with what I do know and some of what I've read. ^_~ Sorry if I made her not how she should be, it sounds alright with me, but oh well...I don't count do I!? Read on for the conclusion!!
