Heraldic Mage
Disclaimer: Take a wild guess.
The Synard has landed just outside of the entrance to the Field of Courage. It looks kinda dark in there. Claude heads on in. The rest of us just follow in silence. There just doesn't seem to be much to say. We search for what seems like hours. My only question is.....where is everyone? We haven't been attacked yet. I hope this isn't a sign of something terrible. Leon and Precis start to complain about stopping to rest a bit, so we do. Until Bowman turns around and makes a surprising discovery.
"Ummmm....what's this?" he says. We all turn around. On top of a pedestal is a small statue. Ernest, being the tallest, goes over to it and inspects it. Then he carefully takes it off the pedestal. No one moves. I realize I am holding my breath.
"If it hasn't happened by now, it won't." Dias says. Everyone lets out a sigh. I guess I wasn't the only one holding my breath. We carefully put it into a pack, and continue on. After getting lost again, we find one of those transporter things...at least I think that is what it is. No one says anything as we step on it. I feel a strange sensation in my body, then I open my eyes again. We are in another room. It looks like some kind of ceremony place. At the far end are some stairs, and an altar of some kind. Like the idiots we are, we walk straight up to it. Just in front of the stairs, I stop. Everyone turns to look at me.
"Celine?" Ashton asks. I take a deep breath. This is not the time to get cold feet. But....I felt some kind of rumbling...Ashton comes up to me and takes my hand. I try to smile, but I don't think I convinced him. But we go on. Claude gets a bright idea and puts the statue we found on the altar. And the earthquake starts! Everyone runs back down the stairs as a huge machine of some kind comes crashing down. The room seems to get darker. Is this.......the Field Guardian?
"YOU HAVE DONE WELL TO MAKE IT THIS FAR, BUT COURAGE WITHOUT POWER IS RECKLESSNESS. SHOW ME YOUR COURAGE!" it says. Then, it attacks!!
**Major Boss Battle, guess who wins**
I think I broke something during that. This guy went after the mages first. We were lucky to get out of that one. The guys are still breathing hard. Rena is casting something...but it doesn't seem like her usual Cure- All spell. It seems much more powerful. Which is good... I don't mean to make it sound like I don't want it or anything...oh boy. I need a nap. Can we leave now? After we all get our bearings, we head back up to the altar. At the center of it......is nothing. No Jewel. So now what?
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"Celine." Where is that voice coming from? Everything is dark. I can't see. "Can you feel it?" Feel what? Who are you? "You are no longer the little girl." Thank you for the news flash. "Do you have the courage to continue, even though heartbreak may await?" Wha? What does that mean? HEY WAIT! WHERE ARE YOU GOING!
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"That was one of the stranger moments in my life." I say. Everyone else looks like they are waking up as well. I look up at Claude and Rena. They were closest to the altar. Rena is on her knees. Is she all right?
"Rena?" Bowman finally asks. Rena is staring at the wall. "The courage to......forsake everything? What does that mean?" she says. Whatever it is, it sounds big. Claude helps her up.
"We better get going." He says. When they move out of the way, I see something very important.
"The Jewel!" I shout. Everyone turns back to the altar. The Field Jewel is sitting on it. Bowman carefully takes it and puts it into a pack. Now the fun part...remembering how to get out of here.
Sorry if it is too short. Having a problem with Mr. Writer's Block again.. -_-
