CHAPTER 5: THE STORY ABOUT THE PAST AND THE USAGE OF AMY'S POWERS
A/N: Sorry to take you so long just to post it but I have many important things to do, so I didn't publish it earlier. My homework comes first before this. Well anyway, here is Chapter 5.
The very next morning, Amy finally woke up. She was still very exhausted from her duty last night. She quickly got up and changed back to her original outfit, her long pink dress and red hood. Although she still felt very sleepy, she didn't have the strength to go back to bed.
When she came down, everyone was already awake except for some of the guards who were on duty last night. Amy remembered that she was supposed to meet Nei, Toppo, and Shabon at the tavern. She promised them a couple of days ago so she ran as quickly as she could. She didn't want them to wait for her for so long. When she past the hall, she heard some people were talking angrily to each other in there.
She quietly snuck to the hall and took a peek from the opened door. It was Duke's and Geddoe's mercenary team. Duke's team seemed to be angry with Geddoe's team. Amy looked at them, surprised, and listened to them talking.
"What? You all heard us talking to Amy last night?" Duke asked angrily to Geddoe. "You guys were not the only one who saw Amy's spirit mother last evening. Jacques and Aila also heard Amy's conversation with her mother too and told us all about it," Ace replied.
"How could you do this? Now Amy would be even more upset if she finds out about it," said Gau. "We also talked to her with Chris' companions last night. Amy said that she wasn't upset about telling her secrets to us; she was just too scared to do it," Joker replied.
Amy covered her mouth with her hands while hearing their conversation so that she didn't make any noise. When she couldn't stand it anymore, she quickly walked away from the hall. She leaned against the wall, crossing her arms to her chest and began to think of what to say to them. She didn't want them to argue over a small matter. When she was thinking of what to say, she saw the Six Mighty Zexen Knights and Louis walking towards her.
"Good morning, Amy. What are you doing standing out here?" Percival asked. "I think.I'm in trouble," Amy replied.
"Why do you say that, Amy?" Roland asked. "Come with me," she said as she led them to the hall. She told them to keep quiet as they listened to the Defense Force teams talking by taking a peek from the door. After they heard enough, they went by the stairs so that the teams would not hear them.
"What's going on in there, Amy?" Leo asked. "It seems that Duke's team found out that Geddoe's team had known about my powers too," she explained softly to them. "We know about them too. You told us last night," Salome replied.
Amy nodded, "That's true. But I told Duke's team that I can't let anyone know about my secrets. But since you heard us talking last night, I've got no choice but to explain."
"We're sorry to get you into trouble, Amy. We didn't know this was about to happen," Borus replied.
"No, it's not anyone's fault. I must reveal my secrets; otherwise I'll be even more troubled. Besides, I promised my mother that I'd tell everyone the whole truth. When I joined as a Fire Bringer a few months ago, I wanted to use my powers for battle but I was too afraid to do so. I don't want everyone to know I'm a sorceress at first. But after talking to my mother, I finally realized that I must do it or else I'll be living a very strange life, just like 8 years ago," she explained slowly as the knights listened carefully.
"We understand your feelings about that, Amy. Tell you what, why don't you let us handle this one ourselves?" Chris asked. "What are you talking about, Chris?" Amy asked. "Since your problems started to get really troubled, maybe we'll try handling this problem of yours by talking to the mercenary teams," said Chris.
"Well, okay. I've got to go to meet Nei, Toppo, and Shabon at the tavern right now. I'll see you all later, everyone," Amy replied as she bid them goodbye and walk away.
When she finally arrived at the tavern, the three musicians are already there. They seemed to be talking to each other while waiting.
"There you are, Amy. You're a little late," Nei replied as Amy sat down beside them. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Anyway, I promise that we'll do some training together at Yaza Plains in the next couple of minutes. Have you been training your skills and magic runes for the past few weeks?" Amy asked them.
Shabon nodded, "Yes Amy, we did. Without your help, we would have never. You're one of the bravest fighters we know. I think when I grow up I want to be strong like many people in this castle."
Amy smiled, "Someday you will, Shabon. Just be patient a little. When I was about your age, I was the same. I always told my mother that 'one day, I'm going to be strong'. And if I do, I'll protect all the people I love and care about. Many years later, my dreams came true. I grew strong and became a brave and loyal to people, always saving and protecting people from the danger around them."
"Wow, Amy! I never knew that you were the same. I hope I'll become like you one day," Shabon replied happily. Amy smiled again, "Like I said, Shabon. Just be patient and someday you will grow strong. Trust me, you will." Shabon nodded, "All right, I'll wait till the day I grow up."
Nei and Toppo smiled too. "You know Amy, I think Shabon really adores you," said Nei. "What makes you say that, Nei?" Amy asked.
"Well, you're beautiful, caring, strong, intelligent and brave. That's why many people in this castle really adore you, just like us," Nei answered, smiling. "Yes, I really adore you, Amy," Shabon replied. Toppo nodded in agreement too.
Amy blushed, "Well..heh.thanks. Well anyway, ready to go to the plains to get some training?" she asked. The three musicians nodded. Amy stood up, "All right, let's go." So they went out of the tavern and to the gates of the castle. Amy told Cecile that she's going to Yaza Plains with the three musicians to do some training before they left.
They spent the whole morning at the plains, training. They finally went back to the castle late in the afternoon, feeling very exhausted. Cecile greeted them at the gates. As they were about to head inside the mansion, Cecile stopped them.
"Oh Amy, I forgot to tell you that Sir Caesar was looking for you a few minutes ago. Everyone in the hall wanted to talk to you. Please go to the hall to meet them now," said Cecile.
"Okay. Thank you for the message, Cecile," said Amy. Then she turned to the musicians. "Well I've got to go now. I have fun training with you. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Goodbye, Amy. We have fun training too," Nei replied, as they bid her goodbye and walked away.
Amy freshened up a little outside before going to the hall. She saw Fubar was trying to catch a small butterfly that was flying around and giggled softly watching the griffon running around. Then she turned to go inside the mansion and into the hall.
When she entered the hall, she saw Caesar, Apple, Hugo, Lucia, the Six Zexen Knights and Geddoe's mercenary team there. They were waiting for her a couple of minutes ago in the hall.
"You finally got here, Amy. Cecile told us that you went training with Nei, Toppo and Shabon at Yaza Plains this morning," Caesar said. Amy nodded, "Yes, I believe I do." "Anyway, why did you all wanted to see me?" she asked.
"Well, Chris and Geddoe had told us about your secrets while waiting for you to arrive. Why didn't you tell us?" Caesar asked.
"I...wanted to.but.I was too afraid to tell. But I promised that I'll explain the rest of my secrets," she said.
"All right, tell us what you know about your powers and the past," Chris replied as the others nodded. Amy nodded back.
"Okay. I was born with those powers. I hardly used them because I didn't want anyone in my village to find out about it. Only my mother knew about my powers. She always said that one day, people would know about them even though I didn't tell anyone. I didn't believe her at first but when I talked to her last evening in secret, I finally found out that Duke's team was the first ones to learn about them. Right after that, I found out that my mother was right all along. She also had the same powers as me when she was a young girl."
"She told me how she also struggled to hide her powers from everyone but as she grew up, she found out that many people already knew about her powers ever since she got them. They just pretend that they didn't know about them. My mother was shocked as she wondered why they didn't tell her earlier."
"One day, she tried to kill herself by jumping into the waterfalls. She felt someone was grabbing her arms. she was about to jump and that's where she met my father there for the first time. He also knew about her mysterious powers and wanted to help. Finally she accepted and they were married soon after. That was almost 25 years ago when that incident happened."
"But you never said anything about your father. What happened to him? Did he know about your powers too?" Apple asked.
"I'm not too sure. The truth is that he died 17 years ago. He was killed by the Harmonian army when he left home to join in the search of some lost villagers. They had disappeared when they were hunting in a nearby forest. My mother thought that he will come back but he didn't. Sensing from her powers, she found out that he was dead a few days after he left. After that, she would sob in her room and never come out. People tried to console her but failed."
"Later, I was born. She saw that I have a birthmark and the same powers as hers. She doesn't know what the birthmark was used for. 4 years later, she found out that the birthmark gave me those powers and without it, I would have never had them. I have the psychic powers in my birthmark. there, I can sense things just like my mother."
"Well that's quite a story, Amy. But one more thing. what is the story about your mother dying in the shipwreck 8 years ago?" Hugo asked.
"Well after my village was burned by the Harmonians, we decided to go to the Dunan area, so we took a ship. Several days later, a storm hit. The ship was swaying around as it was out of control. Some of the people jumped from the ship and drowned. I couldn't find my mother on the ship as the wind was too strong. I managed to grab hold at the edge of the ship so that I won't fall. After a while, the storm stopped and the ship was badly damaged but it landed to shore. When I opened my eyes, I saw that many people had fallen off the ship during the storm."
"I found my mother's body by the ship. She wasn't breathing and I was scared. I tried to wake her up but I couldn't and I knew that she was dead. I dragged her body out of the ship and buried her nearby."
"Your parents' past and yours are really sad ones, Amy. Is that why you lived a strange life after your mother's death, hiding your powers so that nobody would know?" Lucia asked. "Yes, it's true, Chief Lucia," Amy answered.
"Could you show us your birthmark?" Caesar asked. She nodded sadly and took off the hood she was wearing on her head. "That looks like a symbol," said Apple.
"It is a symbol, Apple. I don't know what kind of shape that was," said Amy.
"We don't even know either. You can go now, Amy. We'll discuss this by ourselves," Caesar replied. "All right, I'm going to get some rest right now. I'll see you all later," she replied as she walked out of the hall and into her bedroom upstairs. She slept for a while and went down to help out with the chores for the day.
Evening has arrived. Amy was playing with Koroku by the fountains with the other dogs. After that, she helped Muto arranging the leftover items and stuff in the warehouse, as it was a mess. Later, she helped Sanae Y, Sebastian and Mamie to prepare dinner for the people in the castle.
Everyone knew her as the most helpful person in the castle. She always put on her sweet, charming smile on her cute face when she talks to people or helping out with the chores. She was very sweet and loveable when she smiles. Everyone loved her whenever she smiled at them.
When night comes, she goes for her night guard duty, taking over for Cecile at midnight. When the next guard comes to take over her place, she would straight away collapse on her bed and get a good night's sleep.

A/N: Well part five is finally completed. But I have to end the story here because I can't think of anything else anymore. I have another story called "Disaster Strikes into the Darkness." It's the continuation of "Amy's Birthmark And Sorceress Powers." I'll tell you about the summary later in that story.
