As the light faded to a meek sparkle, Chelsea pocketed the Spirit.
"Odd." She muttered. "Why did it pick me?"
I shrugged blankly and Chelsea and I contiued.
"We need to cross Volcano Villude, too. So... Blah."
I shook my head and walked in silence the rest of the way. Boring. Deathly boring. I noticed none of us talked either.
***
As we reached Volcano Villude we stopped to rest. Well, I don't like the heat to much so I sat under a shady ledge. Chelsea hopped up onto the ledge I was under and gazed over the magma surface.
"I see the Fire Bird is being reborn," She muttered. She jumped down fron the ledge. "We really should get moving. I feel like I'm melting and plus we don't need FIVE fire birds nipping at our heels. Lets try to get out of here before they hatch."
"Fine. But... Oh never mind." I got up and started walking.
Our peace didn't last long. Not far into the volcano the ground began to shake. Massive cracking sounds could be heard. They echoed all over the Volcano. Cries of what seemed to be Banshees joined the echos. I clamed my hands over me ears and screamed, then I started to run. Chelsea was calling me not being able to catch up. Almost like I was being attacked by that big dog again, I fled. I could see small embers next to me as I ran, but I didn't care look up or anywhere.
Then I was trapped. Before me was the end. A crater. I barely managed to not slip, and slowly turned.
It was horrible. Beautiful... But horrible.
Five of them. Looming over me. Small, but too much for me to handle.
"No.."
I shook my head.
Chelsea shot bullets through them. It didn't seem to hurt them, only fustrate them and make their firey plumage spark.
Everything when silver, and Chelsea had her gun in the air. She shot two bullets. Each exploded in a tower of a coal, both slammed ontop of Chelsea. The coal swiftly started to molt into steel. The steel crumbled away and everything was normal, exept Chelsea.
She reappeared in the same position, but changed. Her revolver was now a rifle, made of pure steel. The jewels embeded into the armour were diamonds, and her armour was steel, just like the revolver... wich was now a rifle. Her wings were almost robotic, and the feathers made of light were white, like the diamonds.
Chelsea slammed the tip of the rifle into the ground creating a mass earthquake, and I crouched down to the ground in fear. I dug my fingers into the earth.
Four pillars of metal shot out of the ground around the birds, startling them.
"The good thing is, they're young and un experianced."
The pillars quickly emmited a cage like thing that incased the birds. It was made of coal, too.
Chelsea loaded and aimed the Rifle.
"Cage of torture!"
Almost like a madman, Chelsea fired the gun madly at the cage in every place imaginable. It shocked the birds then exploded, leaving them lifeless and crippled.
I lifted my head and stared at the dead fire birds. I rose from the spot I was sitting and ran to Chelsea, hopping over the corpses. Trying to sound as if I was never scared, I smiled.
"Thanks, lets go."
And on the path we went...
***
And then there was the marshland. It was a horrible place, really. I was still shaken from the attack, so I kinda staggered the way through. It was muddy like a cave that suffered from a flood. It was alot diffrent in Legend of The Dragoon.
"Doom!" I blurted angerly while trudging through the mud.
Chelsea was becoming quite quiet, she was slowly lagging behind me and didnt't say a word.
A Crocodile thing dragged itself out of the water and I meeped.
The croc yawned and opened it's mouth and settled down on the bank, so I hurried up to get away from it....
"So Chelsea, can you tell me more about "Tim?" He seems like a little guy. Ya think I could push him down a well, or would Lassie save him?"
Chelsea glared, activated her wings and dragged me into a tree.
"I'll tell you only if you won't repeat some certain things,"
I nodded, grinning. I get to hear a secret!
"Tim... I believe he was Tim ... Ranq was it? Well, he was a Wingly, not ordinary though... Melbu Frahma's right hand man."
I nodded once more.
"Mr. Ranq was to contiue to control the world or Melbu was defeated, but he chickened out. My father was one of the warriors back then, one of the few to live to tell the story. He wasn't much of a help on Melbu's side, he fought for the humans really. Well, on the subject of Tim...-"
I suddenly heard a cracking sound. That couldn't be good could it? Thought so.
The tree we were in collapsed.
Crap.
"Odd." She muttered. "Why did it pick me?"
I shrugged blankly and Chelsea and I contiued.
