Ties of Friendship Chapter Two by Jeane Sierra
Seed's eyes excitedly lit up. "Jowy!" he said in a hoarse voice.
"So you're awake now... I thought you were a goner back there." he replied to him with a friendly, radiant smile.
Jowy was the ex-king of Highland. His wife, Jillia and their orphaned child, Pilika are safely living a peaceful life in Harmonia. Jowy was also a very good friend of Seed and Culgan. He also possessed the mysterious and dangerous Black Sword Rune, half a piece of the Rune of Beginning.
Along with Jowy was the bearer of the Bright Shield Rune, the other half of the Beginning Rune. He was Genkaku's adopted son, famously known as the leader of the White Light Army; commonly known as Riou. This was Riou who almost killed Seed and Culgan with his band of powerful comrades. Seed felt a slight tingling of hatred towards the young man, but since Jowy was present here, he felt safe and secure as child with his parents.
The loud girl Riou and Jowy were with was the tomboyish Nanami. For all Seed knew, she was dead a long time ago. She was supposedly killed by Gorudo, dead king of the Matilda Knightdom. But here she was, alive and well... lively.
Wide-eyed, Seed brought his hand on the sleeping Culgan's arm and tried to shake it violently but all he produced was a weak tug at his shirt.
"Don't be surprised, Seed." Nanami explained smugly. "We just helped you, you know, and it would quite nice to see some gratitude..."
"Shush, Nanami. He's wounded. He needs help... you're too excited." Riou snapped at her.
Her cheeks grew red and she was obviously annoyed, but she did not tolerate her anger.
"What the hell..." Seed coughed.
"Maybe this'll help you." the Bright Shield Rune on Riou's right arm started to create a warm, greenish white glow. "Great Blessings..." he whispered. The light engulfed Seed, from his red-hair down to his dirty shoes. He gradually felt better and better. His pain faded away and it seemed that his voice was coming back to its original richness.
"What is this?" he asked, bewildered.
"This is the healing power of the Bright Shield Rune."
