Chapter III: The promise you gave me..



"Uhhh....Where am I?" Agrias thought as she got up from where she had been sleeping. "Oww! My shoulder hurts.." Agrias suddenly felt a prickling pain in her shoulder blades. " So you're. awake." A mysterious voice called out from above a tree. " Don't move too much you're still injured.. here eat this.." the man added as he gave her a ripe fruit to eat. "Thank you." was all Agrias could say for she did not know if her savior was indeed an angel or a demon in disguise. "May I ask you're name?" she asked politely asked. The man just looked away and kept silent.

"So he wants to be my mysterious savior." Agrias thought and chuckled slightly. "Then if you would not tell me you're name perhaps you can tell me where we are?" Agrias asked again hoping for a response. After a silent pause he answered " Where in the outskirts of Gariland, near the forest entrance of sweegy woods." He said before coming down the tree. Agrias stared at the mysterious man, he was wearing a black wizard trenchcoat with an armor underneath and carried three swords. Then she noticed that his armor is no other than the maximillian that was worn by Ramza, and she recognized the huge blade straddled behind his back was the Chaos blade, Ramza's most used sword in his every battle. " Who are you really??.." Agrias asked the question again.

He remained quiet again, but Agrias was persistent and continued to say " because I have a friend that wears the type of thing you wear except the trenchcoat..his name was Ramza.Ramza Beoulve.do you know him??" she asked desperately. But he continued to remain silent. " Please.tell me if you know him..please?" She asked again, now on the verge of crying.

Ramza's POV.

"Why do I keep silent..why can't I say that I..I'm back?" He pondered in his mind. "Why don't I have the courage to tell her?.." Ramza asked himself again. "But I still have a job to do and I don't want Agrias, Alma and all my friends to carry another burden, one is enough.." He said to himself but an inner keeps telling him " That's not how you want it to be right?." the voice told him. " I know.. But now is not the right time." Ramza told the voice and he thought aloud " please wait.a little more."

Narrator side

Agrias heard this and said " huh? What do you mean by wait a little longer...?" she asked him, but she remembered Ramza's promise that he would return and that she should wait for him, then it dawn to her. " Ramza...is that you???" Agrias added this question. Ramza remained quiet again. " Ramza...please I know it's you.its no use hiding it to me..please speak to me?" Agrias pleaded as tears started to form in her eyes. Ramza at last sighed "I'm sorry, Agrias." He said as he took off his mask " I know I hurted your feelings by not telling you that I'm here with you" he said and continued " But I can't let you be with me for a while.". At this words Agrias suddenly hugged Ramza tightly and blurted out "Losing you once is enough suffering for me!! But to lose you again.I don't think I can take it anymore!!" She cried tears streaming down her face.

Ramza returned the favor and tightly hugged Agrias too " Agrias.I promise you that you won't lose me again.I'll keep in touch with you.but right now I'm still on the middle of a..ummm". But Ramza was cut off as Agrias placed her lips on him causing them both to fall in the soft green grass. "Please don't leave me anymore..once is enough!" Agrias pleaded. "Agrias.please understand I don't want any of you to be part of this problem..i don't want any of you to be hurt.that's why I don't want to see you" Ramza reasoned " I don't care!!" Agrias screamed " I don't want to leave your side again even if that means fighting of those monsters!" Agrias said to Ramza with determination.



"Agrias..thank you" Ramza said and when Agrias looked up to him, their lips meeting and breaking into a gentle kiss, suddenly they heard an eery howl coming from the bushes. "Damn them for their bad timing!!" Ramza cursed silently. Ramza and Agrias got up and took their defensive stances. "Agrias be careful if you fight too hard your wound might be opened again" Ramza advice her. " I know." Agrias replied. " Well then here they come!!" Ramza screamed as a group of monsters came out of the bushes all of them seems to be magically stitched just like the creature Agrias fought before and dozens of zombies crawling or walking clumsily towards them. " what are this...creatures? Agrias asked. " I'll tell you about it later, but right now concentrate on fighting them!" He answered. " Yes!" Agrias replied back.

Agrias was now slashing two zombies and did a sideroll, followed by a barrage of rapid slashes aimed at the first beast, then she used her lightning stab to destroy those behind her. While Ramza was at a high speed offense slashing and stabbing from one zombie to another at almost no delay time. "Did Ramza cast haste?..or is he this strong now?..I might asked him to answer my questions when all of this is over" Agrias thought, amazed at how Ramza was fighting. " They're all around us..their all around us!" Agrias told Ramza. " Don't worry my back-up is coming shortly" Ramza stated "Back-up????" Agrias was puzzled. At this time Agrias heard something squawking she looked at her back and saw a chocobo cart riding down at full speed. " Here they are!" Ramza shouted to Agrias " Let's go!" he added as she took her hand and leaped towards the chocobo cart "Hey what took you so long Gaston!" Ramza asked the wizard cheerfully. "Tire problems!" He grinned "Let's take care of this mess!" Gaston said as his hands glowed a bright blue light, he said "Lighning 4!!!" a blue light came down from the sky electrocuting every monster it touches "Alright!!" Gaston shouted in triumph. The chocobo cart drove safely out of the forest then towards Gariland. " Sorry I'm late, Ramza." Gaston apologized. " That's alright" Ramza replied.

" Gaston you're still alive too?" Agrias asked amazed. "Of course!" Gaston said cheerfully as well as all of us that followed Ramza in his fight with Ultima. Agrias asked Ramza a lot of questions concerning his journey after his battle with Ultima. " Hey! Don't get too intimate I'm still here!" Gaston teased Ramza and Agrias as he saw them on the verge of kissing again. Both of them blushed then smiled at each other, "Ramza I'm glad you're back...yawn..." Agrias said before falling asleep, Ramza could only smile then Gaston shouted "Next stop Gariland City!!!!!!!"
