My final fantasy
Chapter 3: why we do what we do
In the town of Questona there is a small house what's always very quiet, that is until Ryo comes home, the front door suddenly burst open as Ryo kicked open the door. "Home sweet home!" Ryo said holding out his hand mostioning for Oni to enter. "It's...small" Oni said, "yeah but I'm the only one living here now" Ryo said walking into his living room. Ryo pointed at finger at the candle on the table and out the end of his finger shot a very small bolt of lightning what hit the candle, which burst into flames lighting the room. "Wow very good shot, I thought you were a human?" Oni said. "I am" Ryo said siting down and putting his sword aside. "That gem. It has powers," Oni said. "Yup! How'd ya tell?" Ryo asked. "I know a lot" Oni told him. "Took a few years of practice" Ryo said. "And it looks like it paid off" Oni smiled and sat down next to him. "YEH! I can cook my food using only my hands! How cool is that" Ryo laughed and so did Oni. "So did you find what you came here for" Ryo asked. "Yes, and you've been a great help" Oni thanked him. "So this means your leaving" Ryo asked. "Yes" Oni, said. Ryo stood up and walked over to the window. "Ryo?" Oni said. "Oni I've disided that... I want to go with you, I want to help you?" Ryo said. "Go with me, but we've only just met" Oni said. "I know but it's... something else" Ryo said. "What?" Oni asked. "I want to leave this town, it holds too many bad memories. I want to see the world. And there's something I want to go look for too" Ryo said. The room went silent. "My parents were killed... Murdered" Ryo suddenly said out of the blue. "They knew something... something important...so they were killed for it" Ryo said. "I want to know why" Ryo finished off. Again it went silent, "sure you can come" Oni said.
That night Ryo spent it on the roof, his favorite place to just sit and think it was a clear and silent night and the heavens shone with all their power 'the stars'. Ryo sat thinking while he watched all 4 moons float high in the sky. "So this is where you are" Oni's voice came from behind Ryo. "Oh hi Oni" Ryo turned round to see her leaning out his bed room window. "Come on up" Ryo said and Oni climbed out the window. "What you doing" Oni asked. "Thinking" Ryo replied. "About?" Oni asked. "Something, anything, everything and nothing!" Ryo told her with a riddle and with that they sat in silence for a moment. "Wow their beautiful" Oni said looking up. "Yeah!" Ryo said. "This is the first time I've seen them" Oni told him. "I look at them every time I need to think" again they sat in silence for a minute or too. "I'm looking for a stone called 'the lost souls" Oni suddenly said. "Why are you looking for that?" Ryo asked with shock. "That stone can such the soul from any monster" Ryo told her. "That's why I want it... my family was attacked by a 'soul eater" Oni told him. "Ouch, can't get more nasty then a soul eater." Ryo said. "With that stone I can get back what that monster stole from my family" Oni said. Ryo jumped up. "Ok then, we leave tomorrow, WE GONNA KICK SOME MONSTER ASS!!!" Ryo shouted. Suddenly a huge boot hit from behind Ryo. "Shut it! Damn kids" Cid shouted from his house. "Good shot!" Ryo said rubbing the back of his head.
For about an hour both Ryo and Oni sat on the roof looking up at the sky but. "Hey what's that?" Ryo said pointing off into the distance. "Oh no!" Oni said jumping up. "What is it?" Ryo asked. "I've got to hid" Oni said pulling on Ryo's arm. "Why" Ryo asked pulling his arm back. "The army they're..." Oni was cut short as an arrow came down by her leg. "Holy crap!" Ryo shouted.
They quickly climbed down from the roof and into the living room where Feka was waiting. "What the hell is going on?" Ryo asked Feka. "The army, their demanding that the village hands over Oni" Feka said a bit too quick and Oni gasped. "What!? Why?" Ryo asked. "I don't know. But if we don't they're going to burn down the town and the library" Feka was in a panic and it was hard to understand him. "Good luck to them with the library." Ryo said thinking of Cid, "hehehe" Ryo mind laughed at the thought of Cid taking on an army. "What we gonna do?" Feka asked. Before anything could be said a loud voice was heard. "WE FIGHT!" the Mayor's voice screamed from outside.
The 3 of them quickly ran outside, it was horrible, the house was already on fire, and they were under attack. "Feka now would be a good time to learn water magic." Ryo said as he drew his sword. "I'm on it," he said turning to Ryo's house. Ryo was confused with what to do, there was town's people and soldiers everywhere but suddenly 2 soldiers spotted them. "The girl!" one shouted. "Get them" the another, yelled. "Don't worry Oni I'll protect you" Ryo whispered before running at the 2 attacking men. Ryo's sword was powerful but big and he'd never really been in a real battle. He clashed sword with the first solider and the force of Ryo's sword combined with it's Lightning powers forced the poor man to go flying. The second soldier took a swing and Ryo rolled out the way. The soldier's sword made loud clink as it hit the floor and Ryo kicked out the man's legs out from under him. The solider hit the ground face first and Ryo climbed up and quickly put his hand to the man's back and fried him with lightning. Ryo stood over the body. Ryo had just killed 2 men. This kind of thing happened a lot of the time in this world with all the different kings and armies. But some how Ryo felt sorry for them. "Ryo look out," Oni Cried out from behind him and suddenly Ryo felt a hard blow come to the back of his head.
Ryo fell forward from the blow and skidded across the floor kicking up dust. "Hey YOU!" Feka shouted. "Leave my friend alone" Feka began to charge up his energy. Ryo rolled over to see what was going on. Feka was standing by Ryo's house while the solider Charged at him. "Fire bright, Fire light, I call upon your power" Feka began to chant a spell. "BURNFLAME!" Feka shouted and the solider Suddenly stopped in a solid block of ice. "Good enough" Feka smiled. "Feka watch out" Ryo shouted as another solider joined the fight jumping up from behind Feka but before the man could get near him a huge bolt of lightning shot from across the area blasting the man into the sky. "Whoa that's some magic," Feka said. Oni ran over to him, her hands powered with electricity that jumped all over her arm "that was you, COOL!" Feka shouted. "We'll take later, we got an army to get rid of" Oni said "right" both Ryo and Feka, shouted.
It took a good hour to get rid of the attacking army; the power of the village was stronger then they first thought. With all the mages and knights that live in the are for the combat info in the library the small army was nothing. The next day came quickly and Ryo Oni and Feka were packed and ready to go. They locked up Ryo's house said good bye to the village people and left. "So where we headed. "Feka asked as they left town. "We're going for the stone of lost souls," Oni said. "Any idea where that maybe?" Feka asked. "..." Oni stayed quiet. "What!?" Feka shouted. "Hey calm down.. I know" Ryo grinned. "Where?" Both Oni and Feka asked at the same time. "It's a royal treasure of King Sidney" Ryo said. "King Sidney? Well never get it" Feka said. "Yeh we will, King Sidney is both wise and kind he'll lend it to us" Ryo said. "What makes you so sure?" Feka asked. "How can anyone say no to a pretty face like this" Ryo said grabbing Oni and putting his arm around her shoulder. "Whatever you say," Feka said, and they began walking off into the countryside beginning their adventure.
