Heraldic Mage
Disclaimer: -_- Do you really have to ask?
The sunlight starts to fade into night. I really should go to the room they gave us. I...just don't want to. With all that is happening, will I ever see the sun set again? I feel someone tap my shoulder. When I turn, it is Ashton.
"You should go inside you know. We have an early start." I nod.
"I'll be in soon." I promise. He isn't buying it, and neither are Gyoro and Urunun. I just shake my head, then follow them inside. When we get near our room, the others turn to us. I notice something else, Dias is there. I don't know why, and I hope I don't have to actually ask.
"Hey Celine!" Bowman calls. Precis is jumping up and down.
"The WAY COOL swordsman is coming too!!!" she shouts. I try to keep my face neutral. As far as I can see, I am succeeding. This is going to be a great trip. I think I can feel my annoyance quota rising.
"Oh." I can't believe I said that. Everyone looks at me like I am some sort of demon. I quickly retreat into our room. A moment later, Rena, Opera, and Precis join me.
"Are you all right with this?" Rena asks me. "You didn't sound too happy about Dias coming." I can't even look at her. I hide my face in my pillow. That is, until a certain over-hyper teenager by the name of Precis comes up and grabs it.
"Come on!!!" she yells. "You can't possibly have something against him." I look her in the eye.
"You mean besides his attitude?" I ask her. Rena just shakes her head. Opera is confused.
"I know he isn't the most sociable person in the world.."Rena says. "But give him a chance, please?" I just sigh. Then I nod. I really don't feel like arguing right now. We all pick beds, then go to sleep for the night.
**Next morning........rise and shine!!!**
Everyone is at battle stations. We all pretty much are just walking around, getting a feel for everything. I am chatting with Opera, pretty much girl stuff.
"No, no, no. You have to match the eyes." I tell her for the hundredth time.
"If you can off-set the skin, you can do so much more." I have to roll my eyes.
"You choose gems that match the eyes. Only bracelets go against the skin." I know I am right.
"Uh-uh. If you get a nice sapphire..." We are interrupted by the shouts of soldiers.
"MONSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Someone shouts. We rush up to the battlements. Everyone is gathered within seconds. In the sky, is a huge bird...bat..what is that thing anyway?
"Well, I didn't expect such a warm welcome." It says. I grasp my staff. Everyone else is ready with their weapons. "Well, if you wish, I can play a bit before I KILL YOU ALL!!!" He charges in.
**Three hours of battle...feels like eternity...that's why I'm not writing it all in.**
"Not bad." It says. I look around. Everyone is still standing, but that is about it. The monster leaves just as quickly as it came. I take the opportunity to collapse. But instead of hitting the ground, I feel someone catch me. I open my eyes, and I see Ashton holding me. I look at him questioning, and he just motions for me to keep quiet. I close my eyes again, and I can faintly hear Rena casting her spells. Within an hour, everyone is back on their feet and steady. I stand up and turn to Ashton.
"Why did you catch me?" I blurt out. I am really doing great today. Ashton turns red.
"Well..I couldn't just let you fall...and I was the closest..." The more he speaks, the more red he turns. I smile at him.
"Thank you." I say. We all go back inside for some much needed rest.
