New chapter! Yay! I hope you all like this fic,
cause I'm dropping all my fics to work on this one. I
live this fic, I swear. I'll be walking down the hallways
in school, pretending I'm Crystal in the fic, and making
up things to happen. Guess what though? I can't use a lot
of my ideas, 'cause Nyanko-chan already started the fic, so
the beginning doesn't fit the seeting to my ideas. Sigh. Well,
let's continue, shall we?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Crystal was talking to Yura, when Yura noticed something.
~ Crystal-san? I don't think you're wearing your bell bracelet. ~
Crystal's eyes widened. ~ Damn! I'm SUCH an idiot! How could I forget
something that important?! I...~
Yura cut in before her friend could beat herself up anymore. ~ Why don't
you go and put it on, instead of beating yourself up? ~
Crystal slapped her forehead. ~ See?! I'm losing my mind already! ~ She
ran off to put the braclet on.
Aragorn, who was near by, walked up to Yura. " May I ask you something?"
"It depends on if I like your question."
"What bell bracelet are you talking about?"
"Oh! That! It's like a nametag. It tells what your rank is, or how strong you are."
"How do you tell?"
Yura tried to remember. "Let's see...First, you look at the material of their
bracelet. Then you see how many jingle bells, and regular bells that are on their
bracelet, necklace, or whatever they choose to wear it as. Most use it as a bracelet,
but I prefer to use it as a necklace." She motioned to her neck, where a thin crystal
tube held four bells, and three jingle bells.
He became extremely curious. "What is their purpose?"
"It has too many to list off. The main ones are to show others if you are higher or
lower rank than them and to tell others of our kind that we are near."
"How does it work?"
"While walking, the bells will obviously jingle, so we know who's coming. Each
person after a certain rank had their own signature sound. The lower ranking ones just tinkle,
so we know not to worry too much." She stopped the thought a bit, trying to see what else
she could say. "Oh yes! They are also on either a chain, linked in, or they are on fairly large
loops around a thin hollow tube. The chain is higher ranking, but I personally think that the
tube is better looking. Oh, also, the most bells you can have is the same as what I am
wearing. It doesn't matter what pattern they are in, just that they are on there. The rule of our
kind is that you must wear it at all times, that you wear your current rank, and that you must
never take anothers, unless they give it to you on their deathbed." She sighed wistfully
"Just a few more years, and I may begin the journey of a chain-ranking person."
Aragorn stood there, letting all of that new information ingrave itself in his brain. This
was a type of People that have never been in true recorded history, and he would make
sure when he was back on the throne to add all that he had learned, unless they request
otherwise.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Legolas sat there, completely engrossed in the diary. This was a large window into
this Crystal's soul, and it totally fasinated him. Behind that marble mask was a mind in
complete turmoil. How well she hid her feelings! So engrossed was he, that he didn't notice
when the shadowy figure slipped behind him, carefully wrapping a silken rope cenimeters from
his skin. He did notice it of course, as soon as the figure pulled back on the rope, choking
him. He did his best to keep the rope from touching his skin, the the figure did not let up. It
did, however, lean near his face. ~ Where is Crystal? ~
He managed to choke out, ~ I know not of whom you speak, much less where they
are. ~ At this, the figure let the rope go, spinning him around, studying his face. She was not
unpretty, but a crazy look in her eye told him to keep away.
~ Well, if you know this language, you must know who she is. But I will let you go,
provided that you tell her this when you see her: Ga..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Crystal burst into the room just as the stranger was about to give the message. She
smiled a chilling smile. ~ Galanna, I did not expect to see you here, much less locking me
out of my own room, and trying to throttle one of my guests. ~
~ Crystal! I did not expect you to be here! ~
She laughed, a cold, cruel laugh. A laugh that she had never had while Legolas knew
her. ~ You expect ME, to have my guard completely down, whilest YOU are alive! I'm
offended that you think so low of my defenses. ~
Galanna leered. ~ This is not the last of me you will see either, Crystal! ~ disappeared
into the shadows.
