Chapter 7: City of Kailua
"…" Kashiko was looking around the ship. He slowly went down a pair of stairs and found the engine room, and the people running it. Kashiko saw James and walked over to him. "So where are we going?"
"Well, turns out Linea changed her mind about traveling to the Fire Temple. Instead we're going to um… what was the name…" James thought for a moment. "Oh yea, Adlehyde. It's a different land, like Sidhe. Amazing how the workers can stay up so long and manage to keep the ship going. Technology these days huh?" James said with a grin. Kashiko didn't return the smile. "So what's beating you?"
"Eh… nothing much… just wondering things," Kashiko replied. James was about to say something but Kashiko cut him off by saying, "I'm going to explore the airship a little bit more. C'ya." James nodded and Kashiko walked off.
"There you are!" Zynat said, walking in the cabin room that Terra was in. "I was looking for you." Terra smiled and walked over to Zynat. He held her hand softly in his. "This ship is amazing. I almost went looking for work on an airship before... Is something wrong?"
"No, nothing is wrong. I just have a few knots in my string of thinking," She replied softly leaning her back against his chest. Zynat smiled down at her.
"Is there anything you need help untying then?" He asked.
"I think this is something I need to do on my own, but I thank you."
"If you need me, I'm always here…" He replied and grinned at her.
"Hmm…" Trett mumbled, exploring the Meeting Room. He noticed a map of the world across the room. "Whoa, what's that red dot moving across the border of Sidhe to Adlehyde?… Is that the ship?
"Yes, it is," A voice replied. It was a lady's voice.
"Who is there?" Trett responded. The lady stepped from the shadows and walked over to the map. She had a long braid of brown hair tied in a pink ribbon from top to bottom. She wore a long pink dress with a red vest and silver armlets, and held a silver staff. [Okay, okay, I stole it! But I wanted something interesting and familiar to occur. ;o) Hehe]
"I'm Aeris," She replied. "Who are you?"
"Trett," He replied back. "So that's the airship?" Aeris nodded. "And how did you get on the ship?"
"Well… I snuck on. I needed something to happen. For 21 years I've lived in boredom, but now I'll actually have something to follow. So, what is it you all wish you accomplish?"
"Okay… Sidhe is dying… and so I've heard, Jasgoa is too. And L—Kaneko wants to find out why, and who's causing it and wants to heal the land. So me and James joined her, and we found Kashiko, Terra, and Zynat, and they joined us."
"I see… How confusing, hm?" Aeris grinned.
"Yes, it quite is…" Trett responded, looking at the map still.
Linea walked through the door to the pilot room and found Jake piloting. "Hello Jake," She said and leaned against a wall.
"Hey," He replied.
"It feels like I'm walking amongst the clouds," She said, walking over to the railing looking carefully down at the land below. Jake smiled.
"We should be getting to the main city of Adlehyde soon Lady Kaneko," Jake said politely. "About 45 more minutes 'till we reach Kailua City."
"Thank you, Jake," Linea replied, letting the soft wind blow her short-brown hair back.
Kashiko found his way upstairs after running into Trett, and the new lady Aeris, in the meeting room downstairs. He walked inside a door to find benches, a cage wall, and inside the cage wall, practice dummies, practices targets, and a weapons rack with bows and arrows, sword, and staves. Kashiko walked in the cage wall door and to the weapons. He drew a broadsword, which he was particularly fond of, and found a longer sword that suited him and he started to train on the hay dummy. After about 15 minutes of fighting and making new moves, James walked in.
"Wow, a training hall!" James exclaimed, looking at the sweaty Kashiko wiping his forehead.
"Heh, I've been training for about 15 minutes now," Kashiko replied, sitting on a bench outside of the caged in area. James picked up a bow and placed the arrow carefully on the string. The arrow fell off the bow and James picked it up.
"Grrrr…" James grumbled. He tried it again, but when he shot it, it only went about a foot. James sighed. Kashiko grinned and walked over to him.
"Like this," Kashiko said, taking the bow and arrow. He placed the arrow on the strong, put three fingers on the string, two below, and one over the arrow end. He pulled back, aimed, and let go and the arrow hit the middle of the target. James stuck his tongue out and Kashiko grinned.
"I always was slow with bows and arrows at the castle," James said, staring at the target angrily. "Hehe." ^_^
Linea sighed. ::I can't believe that he was Prince of Jasgoa so long and I never knew… !! I just remembered…I was… supposed to… marry the Prince of Jasgoa………:: Linea stood stiff in the Meeting Room. She sighed again. ::And he said he ran away too… why though? Was he telling the truth about Jasgoa dying also? Was he even aware he'd have to marry The Princess of Sidhe…? Me…?:: She walked over to the map on the wall and looked at the red dot moving across to a town; Kailua City.
"We're almost there… I'll start heading upstairs…" She muttered. She walked out of the door and walked towards the stairs and heading to the pilot room.
"We're docking in 10 minutes! I repeat, docking in 10 minutes!!" Jake yelled out so the engineers could hear. Linea, Trett, Kashiko, Aeris, Terra, Zynat, and James all rendezvoused at the pilot room, making it quite crowded.
Aeris and Trett were looking at some kind of parchment map, while Kashiko leaned against the wall sleeping, and Terra and Zynat were talking, and Linea and James were talking about the airship's structure. Kashiko stared at Linea who was standing by the railing looking out at the town not far now.
::How could I tell her that I lo--…um, care for her? It's a lot harder than Jake thinks… to tell the person you care most for that you do care for them…:: Kashiko thought. He lowered his head so his hair could block out any sunlight from his eyes. ::Why did she run away? I know that Sidhe is dying, but I think she has more reasons… she acts as though she hides something…::
"Preparing to dock!" Jake yelled out. The ship started flying lower and headed for the city's castle at their docking quarters. Everybody held onto a railing to keep from falling on the rough start, and then they successfully docked and got ready to board off.
"How could you let her get away!" Screamed Queen of Sidhe, Nikau.
"I am sorry," Belselk said bowing on one knee. Belselk and Nikau were in a chamber way below the castle of Sidhe's main town[The place Linea ran away from, basically, hehe].
"Don't you understand? We need those runes. With them we can finally take over the temples and golems and destroy the human race!"
"We are lucky she does not have the Ultimate Power. With that she could ruin our plot," Belselk pointed out.
"Nobody has found it since the last time we tried to invade… we don't even know where it is at the time. I want Linea. Dead or alive!"
"Of course, your Majesty." He kissed her hand gently and left the chamber.
"This town is so beautiful!" Linea exclaimed, crossing a bridge across some water. She saw lovely peach-colored stone everywhere, with water rushing through every place.
"It is…" Kashiko said in awe. "But quite crowded, I must say." Linea smiled while walking across the glass in the town center above a pool of water. She saw booths everywhere for small miniatures, jewelry, and flowers. ::I wonder if I should buy Linea some roses…:: Kashiko shook his head. ::What the heck am I thinking?…:: He pushed his thoughts about Linea to the side and they followed her inside an inn. She went up to the innkeeper.
"Two rooms; one with 2 bunks and one with 3 beds." The Innkeeper totaled it and Linea gave him the needed money. They went upstairs and separated; girls and boys. Aeris, Terra, and Linea shared one room while Kashiko, Trett, James, and Zynat shared the bunks. It was still day time, but they wanted to get their stuff out away.
"What a long journey we've taken…" Terra said. Linea smiled.
"This isn't even a quarter of what's coming up," She laughed out. Aeris smiled.
"This should be quite fun," Aeris said with a ^.^ face. Linea smiled back the same way.
::I still need to get her to the castle… if I don't, the Queen will be most displeased…:: Thought Terra while the other two were talking. Realizing she was just asked a question, she said, "Hm?"
"I said, how're you and Zynat doing?" Linea repeated. ~_^
"Oh…" Terra blushed. "We're doing good…" Aeris giggled. ::And Zynat… he's not like anyone I've met before… I'm gonna get Linea for that one!:: "So, how are you and Kashiko doing, Linea? Hm?"
"…" Linea blushed furiously and glared at Terra. Terra grinned and sat down on a bed. Linea caught a glimpse of something fall out of Terra's bag. Terra quickly scrambled to pick it up and put it away. ::Was that…? It couldn't have been the Sidhe royalty symbol! What am I thinking?:: Linea shook her head and started to put clothes in a small nightstand by her bed. She stored small belongings in the smaller, upper drawer.
Kashiko had stored his stuff away, and was talking to James about the airship. "The engine workers look very busy in the Engine Room. You think we should pay them more?" James commented. Kashiko shrugged. A thought came to James and he smirked. "Did anything happen between you and Linea?" ^_^
"!! James, I swear one day I'm gonna kill you! Stop thinking that I like her!" Kashiko said.
"C'mon, if you admit, I'll stop bothering you. You can talk to me. No one said we weren't friends."
"… Fine. I… do like Linea… Just don't tell her please."
"No prob," James said, Kashiko surprised at his seriousness.
"Are you serious? That you won't tell her anything?" Kashiko tested.
"Yep. Sorry if I've been hard on you though." James put the last of his things away and smiled.
"…Thanks." Kashiko stood up and walked outside. He went downstairs to the pub and ordered a drink. He looked to his left at someone who was asleep with his head in his arms on the bar. Kashiko finished his drink and walked outside to the busy stone streets. Something rubbed against his leg and he looked down to see a small kitten that was black with a, orange face.
"Hey kitty, are you lost?" Kashiko kneeled down and picked up the cat. It licked his face happily while she purred. It mewed and he decided to hold the kitten for a while. He crossed several bridges and came to a small garden with a gazebo and two waterfalls. The kitten got away from his soft grasp and ran up to a small child. She was about 5, with short brown hair. The kitten puts its small paws on the child back. Kashiko had seen this child somewhere…
The small girl turned around and picked up the cat with a huge smile curved on her lips. "Spiwit! Dere you are! I was looking for you in the garden!" The girl closed her eyes and hugged the cat. She saw Kashiko and stopped stiff. "Hey! Its you!" She ran towards the tall slender man anxiously. "It's me! Rose!" Kashiko blinked and remembered.
**Flashback**
"Help!" screamed a little girl in a flaming house. "AHHH!"
"?!" Kashiko ran towards the house and saw the little girl surrounded by demons. He unsheathed his sword and fought them. The little girl, Rose, fainted of fright. He finished killing them and picked up the little girl. He noticed that her parents were yelling for her in the burning town.
"Rose!" They yelled. Kashiko found them and gave back their fainted daughter.
"Oh my Lord! Rose!" Whispered her mother.
"She only fainted of fright of the demons," Kashiko answered. "You must leave town now!" The lady nodded with her husband. Rose then woke up.
"Momma!" She exclaimed hugging her. "This man hewe saved me fwom the demons!" She got up and hugged Kashiko. "Tanks so much!" her mother stood up and bowed before Kashiko and ran through the gate they were by and escaped from the city.
**End of Flashback**
"I remember you," Kashiko replied kneeling down to the tiny girl. "So you all moved here?"
"Yep! It's a pwetty town," She said. A voice from the gazebo called for Rose. It was the lady that was her mother. "Howd on! I just wanted to tank you again Mr., for saving me." She hugged Kashiko again and ran to her mother. Rose motioned for Kashiko to follow. Kashiko went up to them in the gazebo and Rose's mother introduced herself.
"Hi, I am Kajea," She said. Kashiko bowed before her and introduced himself to Rose and Kajea.
"I am Kashiko," He said pulling himself back up.
"And you, Kashiko, are a brave man. You saved my daughter that time ago; you have my gratitude." She curtsied and Rose stood smiling and held the cat softly.
"I must make my leave. It was nice to meet you, Kajea. And nice to see you again Rose." Rose smiled.
"Come and visit us, otay?" She said, pleading in her eyes. Kashiko grinned.
"Okay," Kashiko promised. He walked off back for the inn. He started thinking about that day. ::What caused the town to go in flames and kill so many people? And demons came… where did they come from? It was like the sky was being town apart…then in a blinding flash flames erupted everywhere and demons roamed about. Were those the Metal Demons?::
Kashiko walked inside the inn to see Linea sitting at a table with her back to the door drinking some juice. He walked over to her and sat down in front of her, startling Linea.
"Hey Kashiko," She said. "Want anything to drink?" Kashiko shook his head.
"I need to talk to you about something… That happened about 2 months ago."
"Sure," She said, drinking from her mug. He explained the strange appearance of Demons and the flaming buildings in the city from where he saved Rose. "Wow, sounds like they came out of nowhere…"
"Pretty much," Kashiko said, leaning back folding his arms.
"We should watch our back now…" She looked outside and saw it was getting dark. She yawned and announced, "I'm going to bed now. Good night." She got up leaving her empty cup on the table and walked upstairs, her boots making soft sound on the stone.
"I wonder… about these demons…" He said and followed Linea's steps upstairs, ignoring James and Trett blabbing at each other, and fell asleep instantly.
"…" Kashiko was looking around the ship. He slowly went down a pair of stairs and found the engine room, and the people running it. Kashiko saw James and walked over to him. "So where are we going?"
"Well, turns out Linea changed her mind about traveling to the Fire Temple. Instead we're going to um… what was the name…" James thought for a moment. "Oh yea, Adlehyde.
