Heraldic Mage
Disclaimer: I no own.
A/N: I have no idea what Rena and Claude are doing. That is their business. This is Celine.
Help.......I'm sinking.....it's so dark....Why? Ashton, you never did tell me..... I never told you...... I never told myself either....why now?
"Celine, please wake up..." that sounds like Ashton.
"What, are you in love with her or something?" That is Precis.....why did that sound like an accusation?
"What if I do?" Ashton again. I can almost hear the tears....
I open my eyes. I am on a beach somewhere. Ashton is shaking me and pleading for me to wake up. I shake the cobwebs out of my head. How in the world did I survive that?!
"Celine!!" Everyone shouts. But, I look around. Rena is not awake yet. Dias is next to her trying to rouse her. I hope she is all right. After a few minutes, she finally comes around. Something is missing, but I can't put my finger on it....Claude!! What, where? What is happening?
"Is everyone all right?" Bowman asks. I can't feel anything broken. We look around.
"Claude..where is he?" Rena asks. If he isn't here....could he have possibly......I don't want to think about it. Everyone else on the ship...I can't take this!
"Rena, calm down. We don't know he's gone." Opera says. Rena turns to her.
"He's just somewhere else, that's all." Ernest adds. Rena sighs. Dias looks around.
"We are too open here." He says.
"Where are we anyway?" Ashton asks.
"Think about it a moment." Dias returns. I think a moment.....we were only a stone's throw from.......El. So we are here..only by ourselves. I look around at everyone else. Then we hurry on to find shelter.
**in the refugee Colony of El**
"Who are you?" Someone asks. We all turn to her.
"We are sorry for intruding, but we need shelter." Rena tells her. She looks at us.
"You are refugees from where?" she asks.
"Actually," Ashton says. "We fell off a ship and drifted here." The woman gasps.
"A ship!!??" she says. A young man comes out from another room.
"If you are new here, you should see the Leader." He says.
"Is it all right if I wait for a friend of mine?" Rena asks. The young man thinks a moment, then nods.
"You can wait for a little bit, but then you should come with or without them." Then he goes into another room.
"Claude..." Rena seems lost.
"Rena, sweetheart, don't worry." I have to try to cheer her up. "He'll waltz in here acting like nothing happened." Rena looks up at me.
"I'm not worried." She says. Yeah right. I am about two steps from telling you two to get a room. If she's not worried, I'm not a mage. We all turn to her. There must be some way.....
"RENA!" We turn around, and we see Claude and Leon coming up. I never thought I would be so happy to see that little brat. Rena runs and tackles Claude. Then she refuses to let go. Not worried, huh?
"Are you all right Claude?" Ashton asks.
"Yeah. Everyone else OK?"
"We came ashore, and you were missing." Opera chimes in. Then there is silence for a moment.
"Either get a room or get some space in there." I say. Rena lets go and jumps back. Both of them sweatdrop.
"OH!" Rena looks up suddenly. "I almost forgot. The people here said that when the person I was waiting for came, I should take them to the leader." Claude scratches his head a bit.
"What does he want?" he asks. Leon steps away.
"I think he just wants to talk to us." Rena replies. Then she seems to notice that Leon is looking around.
"Mamma? Poppa?" he says. Oh dear, his parents are gone?
"Leon...." Claude says.
"They are gone.." Leon seems to be giving up. Claude kneels down in front of him.
"You still don't know for sure, do you?" Leon still looks down. "Come on, maybe the leader here has heard something." We all head into the room of the leader of the colony.
**with the leader**
"Thank you for helping my friends." Claude says. The leader looks at him.
"No thanks are necessary. But how are you? If you need rest, we can speak later." A woman on the other side of the room comes up to us.
"Wait, did you all come from Lacour?!" she asks.
"Umm, yes." Rena says. The woman beams.
"I knew they would come for us! Where are the ships to take us?" We all look down. The leader's aide speaks up.
"If you think about it a moment, can't you understand?" he says. The woman is confused.
"We're sorry." Rena says.
"Huh?" the woman asks.
"Lacour must have been defeated." The leader says.
"Yes, that's true." Claude confirms. Everyone is silent a moment.
"This can't.....it can't be true.." the woman seems like she is in shock.
"The Sorcery Globe, this can be the only reason why the monsters have
gotten so strong." The leader says. Claude looks up.
"What has happened where the Globe landed?" he asks.
"The town was destroyed. But also, monsters started to appear there. In fact, many believe that it is the source of the monsters." The leader looks down. "We are all doomed...."
"If that is the source, then we must destroy it." Claude says.
"Claude!" Opera yells. We are all in shock. But he is right. That may be the only way.
"You're mad!" the woman doesn't approve either. The leader turns to her.
"That may be our only means of fighting back. Why else would we have kept our weapons?" he turns back to us. "If this is the course you choose, we will help in any way we can." We start to leave, but Claude and Leon remain. We turn back to them.
"Can I ask you one more thing?" Claude says. The leader nods. "Other than us, has anyone else washed up?" The leader thinks a moment.
"None that I know of." He says. Leon looks down. Claude kneels down and whispers something to him. Leon seems to think a moment, then nods and comes over to us.
"Could you watch over his parents if you see them?" Claude asks the leader.
"That is not a difficult request. We will watch over anyone we find." We all thank him, then head out. It's time to put an end to this.
