Disclaimer: same as before. The time dragoon spirit also belongs to Rap's, SO ASK HER BEFORE YOU USE IT!! JULIE IS MY OWN CHARACTER, ALONG WITH ANY OF HER ATTACKS AND HER DRAGOON SPIRIT!!!!
A/N: sorry for all the tense changes last time. I think I was tired when I wrote it.
I can tell Brandon and Chelsea are stunned by Alexandria's statement. Chelsea walks over to Alexandria and says, "How do you know what our quest is? And why do you want to help us? We don't even know you."
"One of the dragoons knows me. They don't remember me, but they do know me."
"And who is that person?" asks Brandon.
"I will leave that for you and your comrades to figure out. I will, however, tell you that you have not yet met this person. But you will meet this person very soon."
'What a mysterious person Alexandria is,' I think to myself. 'How did she know what our quest is and that we are dragoons?'
She then turns to me and says, "I knew you were dragoons because I could sense it. If one is sensitive enough, one can feel a dragoon spirit's power. You, Josh, are the Divine Dragoon. And you, Chelsea, are the Violet Dragoon."
"How do you know what our names are!? We haven't even told you want they are!" Brandon shouts.
"That is a secret I cannot share yet, Brandon. I will tell you all later. Until then, we should get some sleep before heading to the Cave of Darkness."
I can tell Chelsea and Brandon still don't trust Alexandria, but they head back to bed anyway. When they are gone, Alexandria says to me, "Call me Alex."
"Ok," I reply to her. "You go to bed. I have to finish my watch."
"It would not do any good. It is only one hour until sunrise."
He looks at the horizon and sees the first lights of dawn. "That's true. Are you going to stay in your dragoon form all the time?"
She then notices that she has not transformed back to human form. "I believe it would be wise to change back."
"That's true!" Josh says, laughing.
--In another part of the world--
A girl runs through a forest, and three soldiers are chasing her. "Come back here!" one soldier shouts to girl. She turns around and throws at rock at the soldier, but he dodges the rock and the other two soldiers slightly catch up with her. The girl runs between the trees of the forest, trying to lose the men, but she never can.
'Blast! What do they want with me!?' the girl thinks to herself.
"Come back here thief!" the same guards shouts again. The girl sees a tree that she thinks she can climb, and starts climbing it when she reaches it. She easily reaches the higher branches before the soldiers catch up with her. When they reach the tree, one starts to climb it, but the girl forces him back to the ground by swinging a large stick at his head. "Come down here and return what you stole, girl!" one of the soldiers shouts.
"I didn't steal anything! This bracelet belongs to me!" the girl shouts back.
"That's crap! We saw you take that from the mistress!"
"She took it from me first!"
"Come down now! Or we'll force you down!"
"I'm not giving this bracelet up! And I'm not coming down!"
Then, one of the soldiers turns to another and says, "Cut it down!"
The soldier that was spoken to grabs an axe that was on his back and starts chopping down the tree. 'No! I won't let them have this bracelet! Someone help me!' the girl thinks. As the soldier chops, the girl grabs a silver bracelet with a silvery-blue stone set in it and pictures of dragons etched into it from her pocket and puts it on her wrist. When the stone touches her skin, the stone glows brightly. The girl thinks to herself, 'What's happening!?' The soldiers look up and see the girl with the stone glowing in the bracelet, and have the same reaction as the girl.
"W...what's going on!?" one soldier says as he backs away from the tree.
"The girl's a sorcerer! She's going to put a curse on us! Run!" another says.
"Hold your ground!" the third says. "It's probably just a trick to scare us away. Keep chopping!"
The two soldiers stand in their spots for a moment, but the third shouts again. "Get moving!"
"Yes sir!" they both reply.
Then the soldiers hear the girl scream in fear and pain. She disappears in a swirl of stars, but then reappears. She is garbed in strange silvery-blue armor, with teal blue, lizard-like wings on the back. A sword with a sapphire hilt has appeared from nowhere, and she is holding it in her hand. Her hair, which was flowing free, is now help back by a silver hair tie. And she is not standing on a branch, but floating over it!
Two of the soldiers scream in fear, and one of them runs as fast as his legs can carry him. The girl then floats down from over the branch and to the ground in front of the other two soldiers. One of the two soldiers turns to the other and says, "I told you she was a sorcerer! Now we are doomed!!"
The girl says to the guards, "You said I was a thief. I am not a thief; I never have, and never will. Now, leave me in peace of suffer!" She then flies high into the air and holds her sword above her head in two hands, and prepares for a falling chop.
The other guard flees, but the one that was giving orders is still there. The girls shouts, "This is your last chance! Flee or suffer!"
The man shouts back, "What can you do to me, you stupid girl? Come and fight me hand-to-hand!"
"Fine!" the girl shouts back. She floats down to the ground again and readies her sword. "I will show you what I can do! Prepare to die!"
"You are the one that is going to die, girl!" He grabs a sword from the sheath at his side.
"I doubt that!" She charges at the man and feints a blow to the right, causing the man to move his blade there, and the girl then slices his left arm. The man then jabs his sword at the girl, but she easily dodges the blade, and strikes at his sword arm. The sword is knocked out of his hand, and the girl says, "Is that it? I expected more from you. Now, leave!"
"I will not lose to a kid! You insolent girl!" He tries to grab his sword, but the girl kicks it out of his reach, and then kicks the man in the stomach.
"If you value your life, LEAVE!!"
"NEVER!" the man shouts back.
"You had you chance. Now you will die." She flies above his head and shouts, "Silence of the Stars!" A cluster a stars plummets towards the man, and he tries to dodge them. But he fails in that attempt, and is slain by the spell.
The girl turns to leave the site of the battle, but hears a voice from behind a nearby tree. "Well done, Julie. You are stronger than I thought. My master will be pleased when I capture you!"
"Who are you!? What do you want!?"
"You will find out soon enough. Now, COME!" A ring of light surrounds the girl, and she screams in agony, before disappearing. "Haha! One down, nine to go!"
