1 Heraldic Mage
Disclaimer: I don't own it. In fact, if anyone can tell me how to beat the two idiots on I believe it is the 4th or 5th floor on Fienal, I would really appreciate it… stupid jerks..
For the person who asked me about the Prince of Cross PA, I am not really sure what you mean… I may have seen it but don't remember it… sorry.
STORY TIME!!
We walk away from the cavern. It feels good to be out in the sunlight. Especially after how dark and wet and just plain icky it was in there… That had to be one of my worse treasure hunts. As we head for Clik, we try to figure out how to carry the book, since I need to help them with my Heraldy. We finally put into what Claude calls a "backpack". Since Claude is doing the main fighting, Rena and myself take turns carrying it. Which turns out to be a good thing, because the monsters decide that it is time to try to get us to "come to dinner". We can't even go 10 feet without being attacked. By the time we finally make it, it is almost dark. We quickly hurry into the gates. We just made it; the guards shut them behind us. We head to the inn, and get 2 rooms. Claude goes into one while me and Rena take the other one. We both collapse on the beds. I turn to her.
"Tell me this isn't what we will be doing every day…" I ask. She gives me a grim smile. The fact that she didn't say anything means that we will be getting worse. Great I think. They are attacking in groups, and we only have one fighter. This isn't going to work.
"So what do you think Celine?" Rena says.
"About what?"
"The Sorcery Globe. What do you think it is?"
A royal pain… "I don't really know. But I don't like it." Rena just nods. She stares at the ceiling for a moment.
"Claude will need help…" I look at her.
"How so?" I ask. She sighs.
"Both of us are mages. We need another fighter to relieve some of the burden on Claude." I think it over. She's right.
"So where do we go?" I ask her.
"I have no idea." She says. She looks outside. "We should get some sleep."
"All right." I say. I lay down, too tired to even change except to take off my robe.
**Next morning**
"I know what I felt Rena." I hear Claude's voice outside of the room. I slowly open my eyes. The sun is just coming up. I jump out of bed and grab my Heraldy robe. After it is on, I walk out into the hallway. Rena and Claude look like they are having a little fight.
"I didn't feel anything Claude." Rena says. She turns and sees me. "You didn't feel an earthquake last night did you?" she asks. I frown at the question.
"Not that I remember…" I say cautiously. I don't want to be in the middle of a fight. They say that friendly fire is more dangerous than enemy fire.
"See?" Rena says to Claude. "You are worrying over nothing."
"I hope so…" Claude says. We gather our belongings and head down to the dock.
As we approach, my heart sinks. The same idiot who refused to let me pass before is on duty again. Great. My day is off to a splendid start. But I don't shirk back. With Rena in the lead, we head up to him.
"Excuse me," Rena begins, "We need passage to Clik."
"You need a passport from the King." He says. He sees me and rolls his eyes. I'm SO glad to see him too.
"You mean this passport?" Claude says handing it to him. The old sailor looks at it, then at us.
"Well I'll be… you HAVE one… This changes everything."
Claude steps forward. "When does the ship leave?"
"When she's loaded and supplied." The sailor responds.
"So that means soon." The sailor looks at us a moment.
"Not as soon as you are hoping." He says. "Why don't you do some sightseeing while you are here?"
"Fine." Rena says. We head back to the main square. As we are walking over to the benches, a little kid runs past us knocking over Rena. Claude makes a vain grab for him, then he is gone. I go over and help Rena up.
"Are you all right Rena sweetheart?" I ask her.
"I'm fine." She says. She frowns as she looks around. "Uh-oh…"
"What is it?" Claude asks.
"My purse is missing!" Oh no! That was where all of our money was! The kid must have stolen it. Claude voices it.
"Now, Claude," Rena says, "You don't know for sure…"
"We will have to find him to know, won't we darlings." I say. We begin to search.
**almost 1 hour later**
We finally find out who the boy is and where we can find him. Sure enough, as we approach the warehouse in the north part of town, there he is. Claude walks up to him and grabs his shoulder.
"Give us back our money!" He yells. The child is visibly frightened. He tries to shrink back, but Claude has a firm grip.
"I don't know about any money!" the kid practically screams. "Let go!"
"Claude, you're scaring him…" Rena says. Claude reluctantly lets go. Rena goes up to him.
"If you don't know about our money, fine. But if you do we need to know." The child thinks this over. "We are on a long journey, and we need our money."
The kid sweats a bit. Good, let him. I know that is cruel, but he deserves it. But what he says next absolutely shocks me.
"You can travel with THAT much?" He says. Claude is on him in a heartbeat.
"I KNEW IT!!" He yells. The child cowers back and starts stammering something.
"Claude!" Rena reprimands. Claude doesn't even blink. Rena walks back over to the child.
"We won't be mad if you give it back." She says. Fat chance, I think. The child needs to be punished. He gives back the money.
"OK," Claude says. "Now what?" The kid is nervous. Claude gets a bright idea. "How about if you give us a tour of Clik?"
"What?" the kid says.
"We've never been here, so it would be perfect if we got a tour from a native."
"Claude, that's a great idea!!" Rena says.
I am more skeptical. "That is a punishment where you come from?" I hate to see what they do to real criminals.
"I can do it!" the kid says.
"Great! My name is Claude, what's yours?"
"Ketil!!"
"I'm Rena." Rena gives a small bow as she introduces herself. Pretty formal to a kid.
"I'm Celine. Charmed I'm sure." I say dryly. And so we begin our tour.
Since Clik is small, the tour doesn't last long… I cant' believe the kid got me to try on that stupid outfit. I looked so… so… I can't even describe it! At least I got some revenge at the restaurant, where he got Rena to try that awful soup. Poor Rena needs something for her breath. I smile at the memory. After we find Ketil some playmates, we head back to the dock. The captain looks up as we approach.
"We're about ready to leave." He says.
"That's great!" Claude says.
"We still have some cargo, so why don't you go make sure you have everything you need." We thank him again and head back to the central square. Just after we enter it, the ground starts to shake.
"Did you feel that?" Claude says. Rena and I both nod. A moment later, another one comes, much stronger. The whole town is in panic. We run for high ground. When we look back, we can only watch as the entire town comes crashing to the ground. Some were able to make it up to safety. But it looks like many others couldn't. Oh dear.
"Captain!" Claude shouts. Sure enough, when I look over the captain is standing not far from us, looking over the sea. He turns to us.
"I see you are all right. Wish I was…" He sounds so sad.
"So now what? We need to get to El." Claude says.
The old sailor just sighs. "Here," he says. "I better give this back to you." He gives our passport to Claude. "If you really need to, you can still cross. But it will be the long way."
"Fine." We say.
"You can cross from Herlie to Lacour. If you can get permission from the King of Lacour, you can get to El from there." He looks down. "You may want to stop in Mars first though. You won't be able to get supplies here anymore."
"Thank you." Rena starts up to the highest point. Claude and I look at each other and follow her. When we are about halfway up…
"OH NO!!" Someone shouts. We look over the water. A massive tsunami wave is heading right for the town! Within moments, the entire town is completely underwater. The city is forever gone. We look up and see Rena coming down.
"What is it?" Claude asks.
"Ketil is up there. He's all right!"
"What about his mother?" I ask. Rena nods.
"The person watching him said that she had left Clik before the quake." I sigh. That's a relief.
"Well, I guess we should head for Mars now…" Claude says. We carefully make our way back to the mainland and begin heading for my hometown. I would be lying if I said I was happy to be going home.
