Oops.. I forgot this in the last chapter. I don't own Star Ocean.

Do you feel the pain?
Always running;
And back again.
Celine enters the city with here usual excitement. As usual, the place is alive!! Many
of the shops have decided to open outside today to take advantage of the nice weather. Celine
quickly finds what she came for, then turns to the other shops.
"Hmmm... I could use some new earrings... or maybe that pendant?" She looks at the jewelry
laid out at the counter. The clerk comes up.
"See anything you like?"
"Yes, that's the problem." Celine replies with a smile. The clerk beams.
"Take your time, we are open until 11pm."
"Thank you." Celine continues to look around, then something catches her eye. An Emerald
Ring! That would look great on her, and also allow her to cast more spells!! She waves the
clerk over.
Celine finally leaves Herlie. She has some business in Cross, and she can't waste any
more time. She has the emerald ring on her finger and is admiring it. (A/N: I know she doesn't
start with this. But I don't care.) As she walks, she encounters more monsters. But this time,
they are appearing in groups. Celine can barely get all of them with her spells before they get
to her. After about 5 of these run-ins, she is exhausted. Since she is close to Mars, she
doesn't see much of a choice but to go back for a bit.
She intentionally enters from the gate closest to the inn. She knows that this will also
bring her close to her house, but she is hopeful that she can get to the inn first. She doesn't
want to deal with her parents right now. In her room, she lays out on the bed. Her staff and
cloak are on the wall.
"Why do they do this to me?" She wonders. "They know I am a grown woman, so why do they
insist I need to marry? I can take perfectly good care of myself." With these thoughts, she
falls asleep.
**Next Morning**
Celine walks down to the first floor. The innkeeper greets her, and she returns it. As
she leaves, she pulls out a piece of paper. Then she leaves the village and heads for Clik.
A pretty town, if not as lively as Herlie. Click is a small harbor, a great port if you
are going to El. However, all traffic there has stopped. Celine was going to go treasure
hunting over there, she had heard of a plain where you could find anything. But when she reached
the port itself, she was stopped.
"Sorry, you can't cross without a passport from the King." The captain said.
"Since when was that announced?" Celine asked.
"Since the Sorcery Globe landed, where have you been?"
"What?"
"Ever since that thing landed, the monsters have been getting stronger, and El is almost
completely taken over. You really don't want to go there. Trust me on this one. Now why don't
you go find your husband and go home." Celine seethed. But she left anyway.
She thought. I needed that stuff... how am I going to get enough for that auction? I WANT THAT MAP!! She turned to the hotel in the area, and decided
that since she really couldn't do anything else, she would at least spend the day sightseeing.
