ALL THE OLD CAST MEMBERS, PLACES FROM LOD, AND DRAGOON SPIRITS BELONG TO SONY!!!!!!!!!! ALEXANDRIA BELONGS TO RAPS, SO DON'T TAKE ALEX!!!!
A.N.: im changing Alex's character just a little. im putting this note because Raps requested it so people wouldn't get confused.
I reach the inn, only to find that Chelsea and Brandon are already there.
"I'm surprised. I didn't expect for you both to be here before me. It's not even nightfall yet."
"I came here early to tell you that I found some information concerning Brandon's dragoon spirit. I already told him so now I'll tell you. It seems that the dragoon spirit in Denningrad has also been stolen, but the owner saw who did it. They say it was a demon, so I think it could have been the thing that stole Brandon's dragoon spirit."
"Good work, Chelsea. Now we have a lead. I have been visited by this demon also. It came to me the night before I reached Bale. We have to find out where the other dragoons are, and fast, or the world is doomed."
"I found some information on the Dark Dragoon. The locals say that if anyone goes near The Cave of Darkness, a dark force envelops them. It could be the Dark Dragoon or it could be a demon."
"Let's hope for the first one. Anyway, let's get some sleep. We're going to the cave tomorrow."
I thought the inn would have been full, but since the innkeeper had heard that I had scared off Krase, he lets us stay for free. Neither Brandon nor Chelsea asks what happened, but I can tell they really want to know.
"I'll tell you what happened in the morning, okay." They don't say a word and they go to sleep. I lie awake for a while thinking about all that has happened. I think about what made me go on this
quest, for they don't know how I knew of this evil. I try not to think about it, but it just slips into my mind.
(flashback. I'm not good at these, so just bear with me)
"Josh! Come here! I need you to do something!"
"Yes, Mother! I'm coming!" I ran to my house as fast as I could to see what my mother needed.
"Could you do me a favor and go get some roots for me?"
"No problem. What do you need?"
"The usual."
"Okay. Be back in a bit." It was not unusual for my mother to want some roots, for she was the
healer of the village. I was quite used to looking for roots. They were easy to find and I came back to the village in less than half-an-hour.
But when I got there, I found my house in shambles and my mother lying dead on the floor among the ruins of a once tidy cottage. Then I feel an evil essence leaving, saying to my mind, "HAHA! Old coot. It's her own fault she died. She didn't tell me where the spirit was. I wonder where that dragoon spirit went to. Great! I failed to get the dragoon spirit, and my master will probably kill me. NO! I'M IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!" That was when I knew there was a new enemy to fight. (end flashback)
I jerk myself back from my thoughts and try to get to sleep. After much tossing and turning, I finally fall into the clutches sleep.
In the morning, I am the first to wake up. I look out the window and see that the sun is just starting to rise. "Maybe some of the shops are already open this morning." I leave the inn, and head to the Market Place. When I reach the Market Place, I can see that the shops are getting ready for another day of sales. As none of them are open, I head back to the inn.
"I hope the others are up," I said to myself. "We need to get to the Cave of Darkness as soon as possible." When I get back to the inn, I find that Chelsea is up and is leaving the inn. "Where are you going?" I ask.
"I'm going outside of town to meditate. Come get me when you and Brandon are ready to leave."
"Ok. Is Brandon up yet?"
"No. I hope he's not someone who loves to sleep in."
"I hope so, too." She leaves, taking a pouch of money with her. 'She's probably going to buy some supplies when some stores open,' I think to myself. I enter our room at the inn and sit down on the bed that I had slept in the night before. Brandon doesn't wake up for another half-an-hour. When he does, he says, "Man! That was a good sleep."
"Are you ready to go?"
"Yes. Where's Chelsea?"
"She's outside of town. She told me to go get her when we were ready to go. Let's go get her."
"Ok." We leave the inn, and head outside of Fletz. We find Chelsea on one of the stone walls that separate the town of Fletz and the Barrens.
Brandon walks up behind her and says, "Ready to go?"
She replies, "Took you long enough to wake up. Yes, I'm ready to go."
"Then let's get going. We need to find out if there is a dragoon at the Cave of Darkness." We leave behind the town of Fletz and travel in the direction of the Barrens. At about mid-afternoon, we reach the Barrens. I say, "The cave should be on the other side of here. It should take us about an hour to get to the other side. If you two want, we can stop and rest for a couple minutes, or we can continue right now."
Chelsea says, "It would be better if we cross the Barrens now so that we reach the cave sooner. The problem is, if there is a demon in the cave, we will have to fight it, and we might not be able to defeat it if we are worn out."
Brandon puts his two cents in. "Couldn't we just stop and rest on the other side of the Barrens? I thought Josh said that the cave was just a little north of the Barrens. So we should have time to stop and rest for the night."
Chelsea nods her agreement, and we start out across the Barrens. Nothing exciting happens and we reach the other side of the Barrens just as night falls.
"Can we make camp now?" asks Brandon.
Chelsea looks around and spots an overhanging ledge. "That would be a good spot to make camp. What do you two think?"
"That will be fine. Thanks, Chelsea," I say.
We start setting up camp, and Brandon asks, "What's for dinner?"
"Whatever we have in our packs," Chelsea answers.
I pull out my pack and pull out three large apples. "I've got these, and I think I have some dried meat in my pack." I search though my pack and find a bag of beef jerky. "I think I brought enough food for three decent sized meals." We pass out the food and we have some left over.
"That will be our dinner for tomorrow night," Chelsea says.
"Josh, how did you know there was a new evil before any of the Dragoon Spirits were stolen?
You said you would tell us today." Brandon says.
"It's a long and sad story for me. Do you still want to hear it?"
"As long as it's not to hard for you," Chelsea says.
"I'll tell it. You two need to know." I tell them all that had happened to tell that there was a new evil. It toke me an hour to tell it all.
When I am done, Chelsea turns to me and said, "That is one of the worst things that could happen to someone. No wonder you knew. We need to find this monster as soon as possible."
"I agree," Brandon practically shouts.
"We'll continue our journey in the morning. Let's get some rest now," I say.
Chelsea pulls a blanket out of her pack. "Good idea. Good night, you two."
Brandon also pulls out a blanket. "Night. Do you think we need a watch tonight, Josh?"
"Might as well. Do you want first or second watch? We'll just let Chelsea sleep for tonight."
"I'll take first."
"Ok. Don't fall asleep, and don't forget to wake me up when it's my turn."
"Alright." As I slept a few hours the night before, I feel to sleep right away. My sleep was a
dreamless one. When Brandon woke me up for my watch, he looked as though he could fall asleep right where he was standing.
"Get some sleep, Brandon."
"You don't need to tell me that."
I sit by the fire, keeping a look out for any monsters that show up. As I sit there, thoughts come to my head. 'Why does a new evil have to appear now? Why couldn't it have come years ago when Dart and the others were still alive? I wonder what happened to the Red-Eye Dragoon Spirit. No one told me what happened to it. If Dart found it, where did he put? If he didn't find it, where is it now? I feel a little guilty for not telling Chelsea and Brandon about this.' I am then quiet for a while, but I soon start thinking again. 'I wonder if the legend about a ninth dragoon is true? I remember my grandfather telling me about that. He called it the "Dragoon of Time'. If it were true, it would help a lot if we could find it."
I then hear a sound that sounds like the beating of wings. I grab my sword and stand up quickly. I stare at the trees where the sound came from. I hear the sound again, only this time it is closer than before.
I move over to Brandon and nudge him with my foot to wake him up. When he wakes up, he gives me a look that said, 'This had better be good!' I put my finger up to my mouth to indicate silence. I then go over to Chelsea and wake her. She gives me the same look as Brandon did, and I give the same reaction.
I then motion to Brandon come over and I whisper, "There's something moving around in the trees. Be on your guard. Brandon, get your spear ready. Chelsea, have your Dragoon Sprit ready." They both give me nods that say, 'We're ready.'
I then shout at the trees, "If you are a friend, come into the light! If you are a foe, leave now or be prepared to fight!"
I stand there, with Brandon on my right and Chelsea on my left, and watch as a girl appears, garbed in Dragoon Armor. She was a tall person, with Ash Blonde hair neatly braided, and she carried an extremely big partisan. Her eyes were bright violet, and she wore a necklace with an amethyst set in it.
I say to her, "Who are you? What are you doing with a Dragoon Spirit?"
She faces me and says, "I am Alexandria, the Dragoon of Time. I know what your quest is, and I have come to help you. Please, let me join your quest."
