A/N: What do you mean you never go to that part? That's the FUN way to go down!! See your main character get stuck head first. ^_^
Noel and Chisato have guided us to a city not far from the Field of Power. It's......snowing....I'M COLD! When we reach the city, we all head off in different directions. I head deep in the city. There must be a place to get warm in here. Hey, what's that huge building? I go in. It seems to be a university of some kind. I take a quick peek in a couple of the classrooms. One is taking a test, a pretty big one from the look on the student's faces. Another room is hosting a lecture. Ernest and Claude seem to be taking an interest in it, they are in the fifth row. Other than that, there really isn't anything interesting here. I head out. As I check out the other buildings, I find Dias standing there staring into who-knows- where, Opera is getting herself drunk (again), Noel went into one of the houses. Hmm, guess he knows someone here. I figured Precis and Leon would be out playing in the snow. But I can't seem to find them anywhere. I don't know where Ashton is either. Maybe I should relax in the inn for a bit.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" I turn and see a shopkeeper chasing Precis out of her shop. I wonder what she did now..
"I just wanted to see how it worked...." Precis whines. Oh boy, here we go..
"You should have asked. Now I will have to spend weeks repairing it!" That shopkeeper is not happy. Precis gives her a glare, then turns around. I think she saw me.
"How much of that did you see?" she asks. Decisions, decisions.
"Ummmm....not much..." I really don't want her bothering me. Maybe I can get her to chase someone else for a while...
"Don't lie to me! If you tell Ashton about this, I'll.......I'll....." Ohh...blackmail material. I split a huge grin in spite of myself. She isn't impressed. But instead of attacking, she turns on her heel and marches off. OK then....I head off to the inn. Leon is sitting by a fireplace. He always seems so full of energy...I could never imagine him just sitting there. I walk up to him.
"Hello Leon." I say. He turns around and looks at me, then goes back to watching the fire. Gee, I'm glad to see you too.
"Hi." He sounds bored.
"Why aren't you outside playing?" I ask. He turns to me.
"What are you nuts?" he practically yells. "It's cold out there!!" Yeah, I noticed..
"You don't want to play in the snow?" I ask. This kid is strange. He shakes his head so fast I thought it would fall off.
"No way! Maybe if it warms up a bit I will." He goes back to the fire again. I sigh. May as well give up. I head up the stairs. When I reach the top, I find one, count 'em ONE, room. How does this place stay in business? Ashton is staring out the window. He looks, well, kinda sad.
"Hi Celine." He says. I haven't moved since I noticed him up here. How did he know it was me? Oh well. I walk up and sit on the bed behind him.
"Hi Ashton. You OK?" He just sighs. Something is royally bothering him, and I'm not leaving until I find out what.
"I don't even know where my home really is." He says. Say what? "I never knew my parents, I don't even know when my own birthday is." Ouch.
"You never even said anything...." I whisper. He hears though.
"When I went into Salva Drift, I was hoping that when I slayed the dragon, I would be welcomed with open arms somewhere. But, it seems like I am being turned away more now that I've been possessed. Every tournament I fight in, what's the use."
"I thought you lived in Salva..." Great. Nice move. Ashton just shakes his head.
"That was solely because I didn't know how long it would take to find the dragon." He says stroking Gyoro. Urunun seems to be asleep. Then he looks down again. "When I decided to join you for good, I was hoping it would lead me to find..well, myself. But now...I don't even know where we are..I don't know what's happening anymore."
"Don't worry. Once we get finished with this, we'll go back to Expel, and if you like, you can make Mars your home." I hope this will make him feel better. Besides, if he lives close to me....^_^.
"Thank you Celine." Ashton says. Then he looks over my shoulder. I turn around and see the others coming up. Precis seems like she is hiding something...I wonder.....how much she heard.
"Good, you two are already here. Noel invited us to stay at his house tonight. Tomorrow we head for the Field of Courage." Claude announces. We all head over to the building I saw Noel enter earlier. So, it's his house. Girls and guys split, and we get to bed for the night.
Sorry for the sappy parts... I kinda like the lonely swordsman bit though. But I have a hard time picturing Dias as that role. ^_^
