Disclaimer: I don't own Trowa or Noin. Besides them 2 the rest are ones
my friends or I myself have made. Also the land Laven is all my idea.
Chapter 2
Trowa huddled under the big oak tree. He still couldn't get the image of the half cat, half human out of his mind. At first he thought he was hit in the head to hard but nothing in this place seemed right. There were three moons in the sky, and that cat creature. 'Maybe I'm knocked out and this is all a dream,' he thought. But then he remembered that the solar storm hit him and he knew that people get carried strange places when they get into them and he got carried to a different world, light years away from his. He almost laughed out loud with the thought.
He wrapped his arms around his body for warmth but knew he wouldn't get any when it started to rain. He tried to cuddle up closer to the tree but nothing helped. He got up and headed back to the gundam. As he walked the rain let up and he tried to piece everything together; the solar storm, the three moons and the cat creature. He came to the conclusion that he was knocked out or even dead, and this was his paradise.
He stopped and listened for minute. It sounded like someone was playing a flute near by. He looked around and listened carefully to see what way the sound was coming from. He guessed it was just beyond the trees to his left. He walked through them and stopped at the tree line. There was a young girl kneeling in front of what seemed like a tombstone. She had on a long golden dress on and the sleeves drooped about a foot, she had some type of shirt on underneath that came out to her hand and it looked like it was attached to a ring. Her jet-black hair was long, it was so long it touched the ground. She also had long ears, which pointed out of her hair. He noticed she was playing the flute he had heard. But it was a different kind of flute. It looked like the ones they used in all the fantasy movies he saw.
After a few minutes she put the flute down and sighed. She starred at the tombstone. Trowa moved a bit to see what was written on the stones and he snapped a twig. She jumped to her feet and whorled around. He looked into her metallic green eyes and caught his breath. They were beautiful. But they had fear in them.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you," he said apologizing. She looked at him then turn to run.
"Wait!" he called. She turned a little and looked at him. He came out from behind the tree to show her he was unarmed, even though he had the gun but she couldn't see it. She studied him curiously. "I'm not going to hurt you," he said holding his hands out away from himself. He took another step towards her but she took a step back, so Trowa stayed where he was at.
"Can you tell me where I am?" he asked smiling a little. She still looked at him but a little confusion was in her eyes now.
"Can you speak English?" he asked hoping she did. She just kept looking at him. He could see that she was debating to either talk with him or run off. She looked him up and down cocking her head at times at him. She then slowly walked over to him and sniffed the air around him. She walked around him a few times and pulled at his clothing a little bit.
"What is your name?" she asked.
"Trowa. What's your name?" he asked looking at her. She looked at him with her small eyes.
"My name is Rain," she said stepping back from him. "What are you doing out here in elven land? You're a human and yet you don't attack and kill me," she said looking around to see if he had any friends about.
"Elven land? Attack and kill you?" Trowa asked being confused this time.
"Where are you from?" she asked in her clam, soothing voice.
"Earth," he said.
"Ah. Earth. I have heard of that place. Only humans inhabit it. And your have some type of magic that is called Electricity," she said looking at him.
"It's not magic. Don't your guys have it here?" he asked.
"Women live here too. Not just men you know," she said.
"Well 'guys' means women too," Trowa said looking at her weird.
"Oh. You earthlings have a strange way of talking. But, no we do not have electricity here in Laven," she said.
"Laven? You mean I'm not on Earth?" Trowa asked a little shocked.
"No, you're not," she said turning to leave.
"Wait," Trowa said taking a hold of her arm gently. She turned her head and looked at him. "I don't have anywhere to stay and I don't know this world, Laven," he said looking into her eyes.
"I don't know if I can take you with me. If my people see me with a human they may think that I have turned my back on them," she said looking to the ground. Even though they have turned their back on me, she thought.
"Then just tell me what way I can go to find an Inn or something," he said letting go of her.
She looked around for a minute and pointed to her right. "Go south and you should come upon a human village. You should be able to find help there," she said.
"Thank you," he said to her before she turned and ran off into another batch of forest. He watched her go until she was out of sight. He turned and started south or at least the way she pointed. The rain had stopped. He was glad for that. He didn't want to get a cold here. He didn't know what kind of Medicare they had.
He noticed little things that looked like bugs following him. He smiled a little; he had always wanted to see fairies. They were small and very pretty. He liked the little string of fairy dust they left behind them as they flew. 'I wonder if it could make me fly like in 'Peter Pan,' he thought and laughed. He noticed he scared the fairies because they hid quickly. He smiled again and brought his attention back to the path.
He was about to think that there was no end to the forest when it broke and he could see a village about a 10 minute walk away and he noticed the fairies stayed back in the forest watching him walk toward the village. 'Are the humans really that bad here,' he thought.
He kept on his way and soon he was in the village. The people there were looking and pointing at him. He walked into a building that looked like an Inn and walked to the front desk. The man peered at him from behind it.
"Is this the Inn?" Trowa asked the man kindly.
"Yes. I have never seen you before. Where do you come from boy?" the man asked.
Trowa looked at him. He didn't know if he should tell him he is from Earth and not. But he decided to take a chance. "I come from Earth," he said. The man looked at him and laughed a bit. "You got some imagination their son," he said. "So you want a room?"
"I don't have money used in this country. If you want I could work for my stay?" Trowa asked hoping the man would let him. "I could do something everyday, like cook or clean until I leave?"
"Sounds far enough to me," the man said, taking Trowa to a room.
The man told Trowa he could stay that night for free and he could do a little work tomorrow since the rooms weren't the greatest. Trowa thanked the man and fell asleep. But was haunted by the sound of Noin's scream and the scenes of the battle.
