Author's Note: I feel really bad for not making the third chapter, but I can explain! I had...other projects to do?
Ah, forget it, here comes Chapter Three!
Complete with new "-" thingys too!
This chapter is named after track 11 on the music CD you get with Grandia II by the way! Even though it only plays a small part! Wah!
Anyways, on with the show...
Special thanks to: Nik, Parasite Lin, (Zamber, Rekka, and Kaori), Kael, Evil Anime Chick, and Chibi Kitty for reviewing this! Thanks guys! ^_^v

-A Deus (Sunking Remix)-
-Chapter Three-
-Cyrum Theater-
"Hello everyone!" said Elena, who was standing on the stage, "Welcome to the newly built Cyrum Theater!"
The audience, quite big in size, roared with clapping and hollering, all excited to see Elena, a former Songstress of Granas-turned-Professional Singer.
"The first song for today is by my singing troupe, along with the Sunking group! It's 'A Deus Sunking Remix'!" she said, causing the whole audience to hoot and holler.
After the audience had stopped clapping wildly, the show began with Elena singing A Deus slowly, then suddenly stopping when the Sunking group started mixing it up with their odd assortment of instruments. Slowly, the music mixed together, forming a new version of A Deus.
"A Deus (God)
nascer do sol palavras milagre (Along with the sunrise, words overflow, miracles occur.)
agua pura uma lagrima (That is, the purest of water, a meaningful tear, peace, light, love.)
paz luz amor... (The fruit of the field, inhale the freedom with each breath.)
fruto agreste respiracao liberdade (The world is in harmony, the blessed wind blows.)
harmonia vento da bencao (Everything is appreciated.)
agradecimento... (And there, before long, the storms, the doubt, and the darkness...)
tempestade inquietacao escuridao (Change to a warm, bright day in which to celebrate.)
luz do sol alegria gracas a deus... (God, thank you. I appreciate all of your servants.)
As Elena sang the song, she felt a little hurt, knowing that the god she once worshipped, Granas, was long dead when this song was made. Still, it was a beautiful song, and most people had long forgotten the meaning of the words, save for her, the previous Songstress of Granas.
Roan watched and listened, half distracted by what he would do when he got back to the castle. Tio would be waiting for him, no doubt with a huge surprise in store for him. The other half of his attention however, was focused on how nicely Elena and the head singer of the Sunking group managed to form a nice duet of sorts. Of course, he couldn't understand what the guy was saying, and Elena probably couldn't either, but it still sounded nice.
After the song was over, he reluctantly left to go back to the castle.
-Cyrum Castle-
Tio tended to some flowers in Roan's room, wanting it to be bright and fresh for her love.
"I can't believe Roan loves me back..." she whispered to herself, with an excited girlish tone, "He's such a sweet boy..."
At this point, she was blushing rather immensely about the whole thing. It was like a dream come true...the boy of her dreams...which was an understatement, considering he was only 14 while she was over 1000 years old.
"It's not logical to be loving Roan...but I can not help it. I love him..." she said to herself, as she waited for him to return.
-On his way to Cyrum Castle-
'What will I do...? What will I do...?' Roan thought to himself, as he weaved through the various people on the streets of Cyrum.
"Do I love Tio...? Or did I just do that so that she wouldn't be sad and heart broken..? Sigh...what have I gotten myself in to...?" he sighed to himself, as he reached the halfway point towards the castle.
All of the sudden, a figure in a cloak walked right in front of him.
"Uh, sir? Would you please let me pass through?" said Roan meekly, hoping this was just a simple traveler.
"I'm afraid I can't allow you to do that..." the stranger said in a familiar voice, as he took out his sword.
Roan, on instinct, pulled out his Gladius and went into a battle stance, wondering why the voice sounded familiar, and what the intentions of the stranger was.
"Prepare to fight, King..." he said, as he raised his sword and brought it down, which was immediately canceled out by Roan's smaller Gladius.
"Why are you fighting me?" shouted Roan, as he tried his True Dragon Rise against the figure, only to have it miss.
"To test your skills, King..." the stranger said again, as he attempted what looked like the Tenseiken Slash, which was again canceled, barely this time, by Roan's Gladius.
"The Tenseiken Slash!?" shouted Roan in surprise, "How do you know that attack!?"
The stranger stopped his barrage of attacks and pulled off his hood, revealing a familiar face to Roan.
"Ryudo?!" exclaimed Roan in surprise and confusion, "Wh-wh-why did you attack me?!"
"Like I said, I wanted to test your skill kid." Ryudo said with a grin, "Anyways, you're still pretty good with that little knife of yours, so you pass the test."
Roan blinked.
"Well then, it's nice to see you again Ryudo!" said Roan, as he holstered his Gladius and reverted back to his friendly attitude, "What are you doing here in Cyrum?"
With a big smile on his face, Ryudo said, "I've been looking for this girl for awhile now...does the name Elena ring a bell?"
"Well, I think I know where you might find her..." Roan said with a smile, as he led Ryudo back to the theater, also using this as an excuse to not go back to the castle and to Tio so soon.
'Hopefully this will give me enough time to think about the whole Tio thing...and maybe Ryudo and Elena might teach me something...' Roan thought to himself, as he and Ryudo walked towards the theater...

Sorry that was short, but I've had so many things to work on lately...hopefully, Chapter Four will be better!
