Looking out the small window aboard the S.S. Zelbess all she could think about was the next move they would make. Was it possible to sort through all of the voices in her head and get to be a step ahead of them? Exhaustion had finally set in to Steena's tired body.
"Dear you must sleep," said a voice from behind her.
While she toyed with her wedding ring she said, " I know lovely and I will. It's just as I sleep I dream and I'm so very tired of seeing all the chaos. I thought pain and suffering would end with our journey with Serge."
"Now remember humans are in charge of their fate, there will always be problems," the man replied smoothly.
"I know but its just .......so........hard............."
"Steena I will be here by your side. Do you think when can defeat Dario's deathly spirit in Another World?"
"Greco I think it will be hard, but we must, too many people are getting hurt by what he is doing. How far away are we from Termina?"
"Another day or so the weather as picked up and traveling on the water is getting harder. I want you to rest," said a concerned Greco.
Steena then rolled over and laid her sleepy head on Greco's lap.
"Ambrai!! What are you doing?" Karsh yelled so loud half to boat must have heard him.
"What father? I was just playing a friendly game with Janice." Looking at him with her deep purple eyes. She was daddy's little girl and she knew just how to play her cards with him.
In a fatherly tone he said, "I told you NOT to come down to the Grand Slam and I most certainly meant it. Now get your bottom back upstairs, before I decide to ground you!"
"But...Daddy"
"No!"
Ambrai lowered her head as she climbed up the ladder.
"Karsh don't be so hard on her, she was winning after all," said Janice.
" She has no right to treat Draggy that way, he doesn't know any better, plus he was a present from Serge for her birthday this year."
"And how old does that make her?"
"Eight."
"Heck when I was only five I was catching monster so I would at least have someone's company."
"I just don't want her to get hurt."
"Every father is like that. With your might and Riddel's healing and protection she'll make a strong and beautiful Dragoon some day."
"Don't you see that's what I am afraid of.........?"
