Chapter 4: Black waltz # 1
" So what do we do now?" Vivi asked as we all woke up bright and early in the morning. I stretched and the map Blank gave me fell out of my pockets. I reached down and grabbed it; I undid the leather ties and unfolded it slowly. " Hmm, Ice cavern.then Village of Dali.then." I mumbled. " What do you have there?" Zidane asked. " Oh I forgot to tell you.Blank gave me this map.take a look." I handed him the map and he knew directly where we were to go next. " Our next destination is.Ice cavern!" He said putting the map in his pocket instead of giving it back to me.
We made it to the ice cavern entrance. There was mist coming out of the top and it looked pretty cool. " Wow, it is so pretty!" Garnet said looking at the mist coming out of the top. She knelt down to a flower and said, " it looks so much better then in books." " Princess, don't touch anything!" Steiner yelled. " Relax Steiner, it is just a flower." I said. " Yah, but who knows what it can do!" " Gosh Steiner, if your that scared of a flower then I don't know how you would be brave enough to be the captain of Alexandria." " Steiner, Heather." Garnet said softly once again. " Sorry your highness." We both said. " Can we move it, I am freezing my tail off!" Zidane said shivering. We pressed forward and we came up to a part where a different kind of mist came out. " I am.Fe..eling.sle.ep.y." Vivi said collapsing into an ice ditch. " Master Vivi!" Steiner said walking over all tense and cold. He peaked over the ditch and fell in, right on top of poor Vivi! I was feeling fine, why were they falling asleep? Garnet I could tell was feeling tired, so I put my cloak over her. While I was putting my cloak on her I was feeling kind of tired to. I fell on my back and Garnet fell asleep right on top of me. The last thing I heard was a little bell and a loud Ha ha ha. I woke up to the sound of that same little bell I heard before. I woke up and saw everyone else out cold.Zidane.Garnet.Vivi and even Steiner who I expected to be blabbing his head off. I was cold without my cloak.But the Princess needed it more then I did. I shook Zidane really hard and slapped him across the face before he actually got up. " Zidane.hurry up, something is wrong!" He was slow getting up, but he ran to my side after he stretched. We came up to a Black mage just like Vivi except uglier and was crouching down and tinkling his bell. " What! You're supposed to be dead!" " Are you the one causing this?!" Zidane yelled. " He he that is right!" " Prepare to die!" I yelled. " Oh you think so? Well eat this!" The mage said as he cast a sleeping spell on me. " No!" Zidane yelled as I fell backwards and into his arms. " Are you okay? Please wake up!" Vivi said as Zidane was shaking me. My left eye opened a little and a sigh of relief came to Garnet, Vivi and Zidane. " Is he gone?" I said sitting up and rubbing my eyes. " Who?" Steiner asked. " The black waltz of course!" " Black waltz?" Vivi said. I smacked my head on my forehead and groaned. " Okay, I've seen these black waltz's inside Alexandria, there are three of them and I know the queen doesn't use them unless it is a total emergency. This one that Zidane had to fight by himself, was number 1, The whole purpose they were send was to get Garnet back.harmed or unharmed. Number two will be harder; I know they all have different abilities. 1 had the power of ice and one has fire and one had thunder.now if we are careful we know what to expect. But they look something like Vivi." " Me? Why me?" Vivi asked. " I don't really know, but the queen will do anything to get Garnet back." Zidane reached out a hand to me and helped me up and I looked up to see another light at the end of the tunnel. " C'mon gang lets get going!" Zidane said. We walked up an icy ledge and finally saw the sunlight once again. " Oh, the sunlight feels wonderful!" Garnet said. " And look, there is a village!" Vivi hollered. I looked to Zidane who was deep in thought. Then he finally said something, " Hey Garnet you just can't walk around like princess Garnet anymore! You are going to need a nickname." " You will call her the princess- " Zidane's right Steiner..." She looked at Zidane's daggers and asked him if he could use it. " Be careful- " Oh shut up Steiner, just let her do what she wants!" I scolded. " What is this?" She asked. " Oh that is a Dagger, which is a shorter version of a sword, but much different then an Ogre- " Okay I get the point. Okay just call me.Dagger from now on!" " The princess named after a weapon? I don't know Zidane doesn't that seem kind of." I said. " No way its perfect! Okay dagger lets go!" " Wonderful!" She said. " But one more thing, you should cut the princess talk.just say alrighty!" " A-Alrighty?"
We made it into the village of Dali after 20 minutes or so. It was a quiet village; all you could really hear is the windmill and the children playing. "We might want to rest somewhere.get our strength up." Zidane said as we walked into an inn. We all stared at a man who seemed to be staring directly at Garnet and me. " Look I know they are cute but it is rude to stare. " Oh I wasn't looking at the young ladies, there is a room right over there." He pointed to a small room and we all walked inside. " So where are me and Heather going to sleep?" " In here with us." I looked at garnet that I could tell was uncomfortable. " Don't worry Garnet, I'll be here with you." I said. We all picked a bed except for me, there were only four beds so I decided to just sit in a nearby chair. I then took out my portable violin thing and started playing everyone to sleep.
" So what do we do now?" Vivi asked as we all woke up bright and early in the morning. I stretched and the map Blank gave me fell out of my pockets.
