This is the great and mighty chapter 9! Yay! my story is more than 10,000
words long! Well enjoy!
Felix raised his cloak in front of himself, blocking another of the many sandstorms raging in the suhulla desert. Behind him was his younger sister, Jenna, keeping safe from the storms by using Felix as cover. This was the second time in three days they were forced to cross this accursed place, with the tornado lizards stalking them at every corner. They made it through, although very tired and dirty. They were, at the present time, trying to save Sheba from the forces of the Kibombo warriors. She was kidnapped in under a week ago, and Felix had no guarantee that she was even still alive, but he had to try to save her. otherwise, they wouldn't be able to get a boat from lalivero. They exited the desert and arrived in an open plain located near Kibombo.
"Jena, stay here. I'll go and see if I can save her. I don't want you getting hurt, ok?" he said, and without agreement from her, Felix dashed off to kibombo.
"I wonder, where they would be keeping her?" Felix thought. He snuck around the buildings, taking great care not to get caught. A few times, he was very close to getting caught, but managed to avoid all encounters. Moments later, he was at a building that looked newly built. He realized that this must be a prison made to keep traitors. He peered through the window, and what he saw before his eyes shocked him. Sheba was in this building, with about 15 kibombo warriors, but she was hardly dressed and was being forced to run around and around the room, running away from the warriors. They were torturing her! Felix saw that one of the warriors caught up to her, and her stabbed her with his spear! She began to bleed heavily, but she continued. After watching 20 minutes of this, the warriors were changed, and she was forced to run away from these warriors.
"Poor Sheba.poor poor Sheba," Felix thought to himself. Soon, she would be killed. If not, she will eventually get strong enough to destroy them all. But he had to do something. He focused all his power, and as Psynergetic rings radiated from his being, he cast an earthquake and all of the soldiers were knocked to the ground. He dashed around to the entrance of the prison, and then burst through. He picked up Sheba, who collapsed on his shoulders. He ran out of the building, and dashed out of the village. He glanced back, and to his surprise, he was hi with a dart in the side of the neck.
"Unnn..uhhhhh.. Sheba..run." he said as he lost consciousness. When he awoke, he was back inside the prison; only he was shackled to the wall alongside Sheba. Then about fifty of them stormed in, talking in po's and pi's. They un-shackled Felix, and expected him to play the same twisted game as they did to Sheba. Felix had to play along, because he knew he couldn't defeat fifty of them.
Jenna leapt in the air, swung her sword, slitting the neck of the orc in her path. She had been waiting for hours after hours for Felix to return.
"What if he doesn't return? What if he meant for this to happen so that he wouldn't have to put up with me anymore? I bet he did." Jenna was consoling herself, as to whether or not Felix had intentionally abandoned her. She eventually decided that he left with Sheba, to live a life with her. Not worrying about the world. Not caring that her parent's lives were on the line. She decided that she would abandon the quest, too, and start a new life. She should have never gone up the mountain with Isaac and Garet. She should never have gotten into alchemy. It was the biggest mistake of her life. Now, instead of being alone in her hometown with friends, she was alone, stranded in the middle of Blackfoot territory, and might never see Dora or her parents ever again. The nearest town she could go to is Tolbi, although it would be a difficult journey, without Felix to help her through. She took one final look at the town on the horizon, as she headed back into the desert, all alone again. ************************ 2 days later************************************
"Hello, and welcome to Tolbi! Please enjoy your stay!" The town guard said as he opened the gate to allow passage into the city. She gazed around. What a magnificent place. There were springs, and fountains, statues of limitless splendor, and many, many beautiful gardens, which gave this city the look of heaven. Jenna had dreamed of coming to Tolbi ever since she was a little girl, and the only other time that she had visited Tolbi is when she was held captive by Saturos and Menardi. But that was over now. She was a brand new Jenna. As she marveled at the city, her gaze fell upon the local inn.
"Good" she thought. "I have some money with me, so I can get a room until I take up residence". With that in mind, she trudged through the door without paying attention, and smacked head-on with another person.
"OW! Hey, watch where you're going, you big stupid-" she was cut off by the look of the man sitting on the ground in front of her. He was a tall, young looking man with short, spiky blue hair, and eyes of identical color. He was very muscular, and as he stood up, wondered how he managed to flare this girl's temper so easily.
"So sorry, miss. I didn't mean to run into you. My name is Brady. And you are?" he said as he reached out to help her up. Jenna was stunned by his charming personality.
"M-my name is.uhhhh.. Jenna." she said in a mystified voice. He had the clearest eyes.like that of a baby's, she thought.
"Well, I must have hit you pretty hard if you have trouble remembering your name," he said with a smile. Jenna giggled. He was so handsome.
"Tough luck if you're looking for a room. They only have a double's room left and it's very expensive." Brady explained to her.
"That's okay. you can stay with me." she said before she realized what she had done. This was crazy! She didn't even know him, yet she was offering to stay with him. Jenna was about to decline when Brady said "Really? That's very generous of you!" with a wide grin on his face. He put his arm around her shoulder, and squeezed her in a hug-like motion as they stepped inside the hotel. The friendly stewardess said in a happy voice, "Wow, it didn't take long for you to come back, did it?" Brady blushed slightly.
"We'd like to take the double's room, please" Jenna said, feeling quite snug with Brady's arm around her. Jenna filled out the forms, and then got the key to the room. They opened it up, to find a luxurious suite with two large rooms hooked together. After unpacking his things, Brady set out the door to go out on the town.
"Where are you going?" Jenna asked.
"Oh, I was just going out for a while. Would you care to join me?" Brady said
"YES! I mean, if it's okay with you." Jenna said, embarrassed.
"Ok, then. Let's go." Brady beckoned. So they left into the town. First off, they went out to supper in Tolbi's now famous Chateau en Isaac, obviously dedicated to Isaac. They had a fantastic meal, after which they headed out for a walk in the field under the stars.
"So, this is what you had intended to do today?" Jenna asked, finally. Brady gave her a "what do you think" look and then they continued along. After a while, they made their way back to Tolbi, where Jenna and Brady headed back to their hotel room.
"Thanks for a fabulous time." Jenna said quietly.
"The pleasure's all mine," Brady said. As he went to unlock his side of the room, Jenna grabbed his arm.
You don't have to go over there, do you?" She said in almost a whine. "Why don't you stay over here?." she said as she walked him over to the bed.
Ya. This chapter was kind of spontaneous. And what will happen to Felix and Sheba? Time will tell. Anyway, please review. Thanks
