Chapter 9: The Festival of the hunt!
I didn't really know what to say after that, I guess I thought to soon. I didn't really wanna fight, I guess I say a lot of stuff without thinking. I ran out of the bar and totally crashed into a person. " Oh my gosh, I'm sorry! I should've looked where I was going!" I had run into a man who wore a black robe and hood and I found it hard to look into his face. He didn't really apologize, he just brushed himself off and moved on. I decided to go back to the castle to sign up for the Festival of the hunt. I walked into the guest room, and I saw Steiner talking to Zidane. " What have you done with the Princess?!" Steiner scolded to Zidane. " C'mon Steiner, Zidane is not a criminal.anymore so just lay off!" " You stay out of this!" Steiner kept on going and going until I just had to interrupt him. " Are any of you competing In the Festival?" " Certainly not! I will not play in such a childish game." " It isn't childish, wild monsters run around and you have to kill them without actually being killed yourself. Winner gets what ever they like." " Hmm, maybe." Zidane said. " So rusty.are you in? Oh no wait you can't you are just too weak!" I laughed. " Now see here, I will enter, and I will beat you fair and Square!" Steiner said. " Hah, you are like a dumb child. have to bribe them in order for them to do it!" I yelled walking out of the guest room. After a few hours all the competitors came and met in one place. The guard explained the rules and I was sent to the business district with Vivi, who was also bribed by Zidane. Zidane and Steiner went to Industrial district, Zidane only did it for the Gil and the Girl (Dagger). Freya was theater and so was anyone else who joined. "So competitor Heather, what do you want for your reward?" the guard asked. " Hmm, I'll take a...uh..I'll take the Gil!" " Me too!" Zidane said. Okay get to your posts! Vivi and I made it to the bus cab thing. Vivi was a little shaky so I tried to cheer him up. " Nothing to worry about Vivi, the monsters aren't hard at all.you just need to keep your courage up that is all!" ".Okay." " I will be backing you up so I will make sure that no monster even touches you!" I said. " You don't have to be scared because you are strong, I am not really strong at all." " Sure you are Vivi, you are the toughest black mage I know! C'mon you beat those waltz's didn't you?" " Kind of," " These monsters are so weak you can just give them one fire ball and they will die instantly!" " Really?" " I've never lied in my life Vivi, the worst thing they could do is show their teeth, but you will never overcome your fears unless you meet them face to face." " I feel a little better." " Besides when I was your age I could slay any dragon coming my way! That was what I had to do to become a bodyguard. Of course Steiner just got lucky." " So how many monsters do we have to fight?" " Oh, as many as you can get your hands on, that is what makes it a competition!" We were dropped off and I drew my sword from my holder. " Good luck Vivi, wish that you become the master hunter!" And I was off I was on a roll, I had made it to my final destination and I had made it through with a whopping 200 pts! Then when I turned my back a Giant Zonghol was coming Vivi's way. Dagger half closing her eyes saw the Giant Zonghol stampede towards Vivi. It seemed to be the center of attention with the crowd. " Oh man, that kid don't got a chance!" Some would say. " How much you wanna bet that the Kid is going to go to the hospital." Some more people would say. " Come on Vivi, Heather! You can do it!" Dagger thought holding her breath. " Vivi!" I yelled as I grabbed him before he was run over. " I didn't know this thing was here!" I said standing up. " Vivi, go to another district! I'll take care of this!" Vivi ran off and I was stuck with the mother load of all points in the festival. The festival was over; I currently the highest scorer in history (260 pts) and was given 1000 Gil for my efforts. " I guess you one.what was your name again?" " My name is Heather, you put up a good fight, 200 pts." " Congratulations to all who participated, now let us have a feast!" We all went to the table where even more food was placed. " Uh, sorry regent.I am still full from the last meal we had." " Okay gwok suit yourself." I turned to Dagger who was not eating anything. " Why aren't you eating?" I asked. " I guess I am not that hungry." I watched Steiner eat; it was so gruesome and disgusting the way he ate. He didn't even keep his mouth closed. " Gall, Steiner close your mouth! You are so nasty! Even Vivi has better manners then you do, and you are 33!" " Well I don't see you eating anything!" He said as he spat out chunks of corn. I covered my face to block the flying chips of corn. " Just close your mouth when you chew, and don't talk with your mouth full of corn!" " You sound like my mother." I smelled my plate and noticed a foul stench coming out of it. " What is that smell?" I asked. Then I watched everyone fall to the ground asleep. " Sleeping weed!" I gasped. Dagger and Steiner were the only ones awake and Steiner was over reacting. " Come on, there shouldn't be any in your dish." Dagger said. " Wait, you put a sleeping weed in everyone's dish?" I said. " Uh not exactly." Dagger said. " We have to wake everyone up!" I said. " No, that is the whole point of the weed.we have to escape!" Dagger said running out of the room.
