Disclaimer: I know long time since one, but I think it's needed. There's
going to a character from The Record of Loddoss Wars. Guess what. I don't
care how I even spelled it 'cause I don't own it.

They exited the castle, although Rae felt a strange feeling of being followed. They went through the forest and kept on going until they saw a town. Some of the people recognized Rae, and her dragon, Windom. Some people ran away, some hide. Others just stood there in fear. All the while, Rae was wearing a now very confused look.
They had tried to talk to some of the people, but they all ran.
"That's it! As a Dragon Knight, I demand an answer to the actions taken by these people!" Rae exclaimed. Only a little girl walked up to her.
"Miss Dragon Knight?" The child asked.
"What is it dear child?" She asked as she bent down to one knee, to height level of the child.
"The people are afraid of you because our leader told us that you're evil, and that you'll destroy our town. But I don't think you're that bad."
"Well, it seems that you're the bravest one here." Rae replied as she patted the child's head. Then she stood up.
"What kind of people are you? If I were the evil person this girl tells I am to you people, then why'd you send or let this child talk to me? Is it true, that a child, a Child of all things, has more courage than you people? It must be. You must be ashamed of yourselves." She called out to the other townspeople. Then she bent down to one knee, again, to speak to the little girl.
"Do you know where your leader is?" She asked. The girl nodded.
"Can you take us there?" Rae asked again.
"Yep." The girl answered.
"Okay. Here we go." She lifted the girl onto her shoulders. While they walked through the town, Rae heard footsteps, not that of her companions, a much more heavily step. She looked back, though she not what she was looking for. The plodding sound of the footsteps following her, sounded quite familiar. They continued to a mansion that the girl pointed to.
Rae put the girl down.
"Stay here. Zidane will watch you." She said as she looked at the monkey- boy sneaking away to go to the tavern, but then heard his name, and realized he had been caught.
"Me?" He asked.
"Yes. You WILL stay here with her." Rae replied.
"Yes, ma'am." He answered as he sat next to the girl.
Rae motioned to Squall and Cloud to follow her into the mansion, and of course Windom followed, too.
Inside the mansion were many collections of paintings of her, to her surprise.
"Now why would he say bad and untrue things about me, and yet still have all of these paintings of me?" She thought to herself.
They continued until they met up with a man sitting at a desk inside of a room.
"Are you the leader of this town?" Rae demanded.
"Yes." He replied.
"Why are you spreading rumors about me?" Rae asked.
"Rumors? What rumors? I only speak of the facts."
"Facts?"
"Rae the great Dragon Knight of this land is not what she says. She is evil, and a vicious monster."
Rae's eyebrow twitched to that comment. Her tail flicked.
"Do you have any clue to whom you are speaking to?"
"Why, yes, of course."
"What makes you think that what you say is true?"
"Your father."
"What about him?"
"He was evil, and vicious, and he had killed many."
Rae became very upset at this comment; tears began streaming down her cheeks for she knew that was true. Squall tried to calm her but she pushed him away.
"This maybe true, but did you know him for how long I have? No. He was not in his right mind at that time, and that was quite some time ago." She yelled back.
"And you will turn out the same way."
"And what makes you say that?"
"Your part demon, you will, just as your father did, and we will be forced to kill you, just as we did to your father."
"Ha, what a laugh." Rae said, and then began laughing.
"What?"
"Your lack of knowledge is quite funny. If you think he's dead, you're wrong. In fact, he's quite alive."
"But, that can't be."
"Oh, yes it can. You puny humans failed to realize that when you "killed" him, he was already dead."
"That doesn't make any sense."
"Of course it doesn't, to you, because humans like you can't comprehend things like that."
"So, we'll just have to kill him again. And you too."
"Why?"
"You know why, we don't want any more killed by your evil father."
Rae had had enough, she glowed red with anger and power, her hair floating above the ground, herself floating too, her eyes grew white, and her teeth grew fangs.
"So, you insist on fighting." The man said as he got up from his chair.
Rae then let loose a surge of energy, causing both Cloud and Squall to fly back and hit the wall. Also doing the same thing to the man.
"Ah, come on, how can you even PLAN to kill me when you can't even get up." She said in a booming, very powerful voice.
The now knocked out man did nothing as Rae walked over to him.
"I shall not let you do this any longer. You shall be ridded of this job."
The man is now half conscious.
"By the way, my father wasn't even part demon, he's all human, or to he would be." Rae said again.
Rae failed to notice that this fight of hers was being watched, by a young man with long blue hair.
Rae walked over to Squall, and healed him with a spell. She did the same to Cloud, by now she was normal. The young man watching this sneezed, which startled Rae a little.
"Who's there?" Rae asked.
The young man stepped out. Rae's face lit up.
"Spark. What are you doing here?" She asked as he came over to her.
"N-nothing, Lady Rae." He said.
Rae thought for a moment, and then came up with an idea.
"Spark, how'd you like to be the leader of this town?"
"That would be nice, Lady Rae."
"You know you don't have to call me "Lady Rae", just call me Rae."
"Okay, La-er Rae."
"I know you're going to be good at this job. Maybe you'll even make a good Dragon Knight someday."
"What if-"
"What if you need help? You can write me." Rae moved over to a window, looked out it, but then moved to a second window and pointed, and motioned for Spark to come over.
"Spark, see that castle in the back ground? Send your letters there, for that's where I live."
"Okay."
"We shall be leaving now." Rae said as she left the room with her companions.
Zidane was now very happy to see that Rae was finished.
"Did you have fun?" Rae asked.
"No." Zidane answered.
"I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to her." Rae pointed to the little girl, climbing on Zidane.
"Yes." She said as she smiled.
"Okay, lets go." Rae said as she hoisted the girl onto her shoulders.
They left the place and brought the child to her parents, and continued on home. But before they could make it there, they encountered a band of thieves, in the middle of the woods. They tried to fight, but there were more than that of what could be seen. They shot paralysis darts a Cloud, Squall, and Zidane, leaving only Rae and Windom but Windom was hidden. Rae didn't fight back, as they tied her up and took her and her friends to their hideout.
When Squall, and the others awoke, they found themselves tied up and in a room.
"About time you guys woke up." Rae said.
"Did they hurt you?" Squall asked.
"No." "Okay. Now what do we do?" Zidane asked.
"We wait." Rae said.
Rae had her knives already at work, cutting the rope.
"You guys wait here." She said getting up, and freeing herself from the ropes. She glanced through the small window in the room and saw a tall figure, in a red coat, just before trying to exit the room. She realized it was locked from the other side, but she just jammed her knife into the wooden door, breaking the latch. She walked through.
She noticed that most of the bandits were either drunk or sleeping.
"Gees, you'd think that there would be a guard around. But no, everybody is asleep."
Rae stepped over the bodies that were on the floor, and made her way over to the door. She opened it and waited a little while. The cool night air was brisk upon her face. A figure appeared before her.
"Aren't I hard to follow?" She asked smiling to the familiar person.
"Sort of." The person said in a gruff voice.
"Well, the others are in the back. I'll go get them." Rae said as she ran to the back, being careful that she doesn't step on a bandit.
"Okay, guys." She untied Squall, Zidane, and Cloud, who was not happy about this at all, and they all left the room.
"Wow, they're all sleeping." Zidane exclaimed as he was almost left there by his companions. He ran to catch up.
"Hey, Auron, do you know where Windom is?" Rae asked the man following them. At the hearing of hi name, Windom popped out of Auron's coat.
"Here." Auron said as he picked up the little dragon by the scruff of his neck and handed him to Rae. Windom was very happy Rae was safe.
"Okay. Let's go home." Rae said as they made their way home. When they got there, everybody except Rae went inside. Rae wandered by the edge of the pond right outside the castle, watching the reflections of the stars on the water.
"Mother, I found it." She said to herself.
They exited the castle, although Rae felt a strange feeling of being followed. They went through the forest and kept on going until they saw a town. Some of the people recognized Rae, and her dragon, Windom. Some people ran away, some hide. Others just stood there in fear. All the while, Rae was wearing a now very confused look.
