Lunar: Silver Star Story

Note: This is probably the saddest chapter I wrote. Sorry if it's kinda short. I noticed that Alex didn't talk much but in the following chapter, he'll talk a little more. I just finished playing Lunar: SSSC a while ago. Nall was such a cute girly-soundin' little boy. To think he grew up to be the Nall we all know and love now...anyway, go ahead and read, I'ma shut up now.

Chapter 5: Promises

A year after Kyle and Jessica died, I was more paranoid than ever. I did everything that Luna or Alex asked me to do and more. I watched over them day and night, missing sleep myself. I was surprised they lived so long, longer than their children actually. But, I could tell they were worried about me too. I was making myself sick from worry and they feared that when they died, I would try to commit suicide. Alex and Luna had already told me what they wanted me to keep to remember them personally; Luna's scarf and Alex's orcarina and Althena's sword. That night, we went to the Goddess Tower, which Luna somehow found, because she said there was something she had to do. We watched Luna as she stood at the top and looked up at the Blue Star.
"So, why are we here?" I asked.
"You see Nall...Long after me and Alex are gone, there will be a girl named Lucia. She's the princess of the Blue Star and she will be searching for me...but of course, I won't be around."
I nodded. She turned to me and Alex and smiled.
"And right now, I want you to help me record a message. Show this message to Lucia when the time is right. Okay?"
I nodded again and went over to the magical projection machine. I waved my hand and it began recording.
"It's recording."
Luna began to speak to this "Lucia" girl about how the power of the human heart was the key to destroying some evil guy named "Zophar" and how she decided to stay a human as Luna because she was in love with Alex. I watched and listened to her. When she was done, I waved my arm again to stop the recording. She sighed and looked at Alex, who nodded.
"This is where we want to die, Nall," Alex said.
"What?"
"Tonight, we're dying here," Luna repeated, "so I want you to leave us, okay?"
"Wha?"
"Oh yes, give this to Hiro after they have defeated Zophar. I want him to teach Lucia about human emotions since I will never get the chance."
She handed me a letter and sat by the recording. Alex followed suit and sat beside her. I walked over to them, still confused.
"Luna..."
"Yes?"
My eyes started to burn with tears. I sighed and sat infront of them, Indian-style.
"I'm staying here until I see you both go..." I said, "I've been with you all of your lives and I'm not about to leave now."
I stared at them for a while and they stared back. Finally, Alex began to talk.
"Remember when you threw that pie at Ramus?" he asked me.
I laughed softly. We were at a fair when I decided I wanted to throw a lemon marang pie at Ramus, just to see what he would do. Luna giggled as well.
"Yeah, I remember that. Then all he did was eat it off his face," Luna chuckled.
"Remember when Luna was pregnant with Dyan?"
"Yes! That was a horrible nine months! You kept screaming at us for no reason," Alex said, "and then you kept wanting us to make you some Pickled Slime! What was up with that?"
We continued to scroll down memory lane until late at night, when we had all fell asleep. I had a dream that Nash, Mia, Jessica, and Kyle wasn't dead and they were all the age when me, Luna, and Alex first met them. We were standing on a floating rock in a white world and, for some reason, Alex and Luna weren't there.
"Hey! Everyone's back! It was all just a bad dream...Wait, why are we all floating here?"
"Sorry to burst your bubble buddy, but this is the dream!" Kyle said, "sorta...Actually, this is your subconscious."
"Yeah, we came from the Blue Star to your mind to tell you not to be sad," Jessica said hugging me.
"Nall, we will always be watching over you and always be with you," Mia said sweetly.
"So don't do something stupid like kill yourself!" Nash yelled, "I know how you country people are!"
I looked at them surprised. Suddenly, I collasped on the ground, balled up into a fetal position and starting sobbing. Mia kneeled down to me and wrapped her arms around my shoulders.
"I don't wanna be alone! I want to come to the Blue Star with you!" I cried.
"You can't. If you do, you would have to..."
"Don't give him any ideas Mia..." Nash mumbled.
"Promise us you'll live your life to the fullest!" Jessica said, "because we all love you and if we see you at the Blue Star, I'm going to hurt you so bad!!"
"And don't forget to go to a strip joint!"
"Now wake up so you can say goodbye to Alex and Luna. And don't you dare think I hate you!" Nash yelled, "because you're my friend, and I love my friends. Now get!"
He smiled and hit me on the nose with his index and middle finger. When I woke up, I sat up quickly and grabbed my nose. It was still dark out.
"Ow.." I said rubbing it, "that actually hurt..."
I looked over at Luna and Alex, who were propped up on the stand of the recording machine beside each other, holding each others hands. There was a gentle smile on both of their faces. I slowly crawled over to them and woke them up. They looked at me weakly and smiled.
"Goodbye Nall. We'll never forget you," Alex said, "thanks for always being there for me."
"Alex...Luna...I promise I'll try to live my life without you all with me..."
"That's wonderful..."
"And Luna, can you tell me something?"
"What's that?"
"Will I be alone forever? Will I be the only Dragon in this world for all eternity? Will I ever find love like you all did?"
She didn't answer. I didn't know if it was because she was too weak to speak or because she didn't want to give me bad news. They closed their eyes at the same time, so I hugged them both as they left this world. In the sky, I saw two shooting stars, twirling around each other as they flew to the Blue Star. I smiled at the beautiful sight as tears fell from my face to Alex and Luna's bodies. I gazed down at my two best friends, fragile things in my arms, and took Luna's scarf and Alex's sword and orcarina, just like they wanted me to. I silently left them since I knew that was obviously where they wanted their final resting place to be. Although I promised I'd live my life to the fullest, I couldn't help but want to go kill myself, right then and there. As I flew through the skies, memories of times long ago played back in my head. When I first met Alex. When Alex's parents brought Luna home. When Luna beat up the bullies that were picking on Ramus. When we went to the White Dragon Cave and I met my father. When we started our very first adventure. When we met Nash, Mia, Jessica, and Kyle. When we defeated Ghaleon and rescued Luna. When everyone had their children. So many great memories. I stopped at a river by Burg and looked in at my reflection.
"I'm all alone now...cursed...to live forever..."
Suddenly, I saw Luna's reflection and heard her voice. Either that or I was in denial.
"Nall...please don't be sad..."
"Luna?"
"Remember, you promised that you would live your life to the fullest...I know why you're at this river..."
I shook my head as I saw Luna's reflection put her hand on my giant paw. When I looked it, no one was there.
"Oh really? And what was that?" I said sadly, looking back at the reflection.
"You were going to try to drown yourself, weren't you?"
I sighed and turned into my human form. Luna's reflection hugged me as I teared up.
"I can't live without you all..."
"But Nall. You only lived without me and Alex for a few hours. You also promised me that you would help Lucia. How are you supposed to do that if you're dead. Not to mention, there's a Red Dragon who will need your guidance." she said, winking at me.
"Hmph...fine..."
Luna's reflection smiled and kissed me on my forehead, before disappearing. I stood up and walked to Burg. I went in out old house and to my box of things. I picked up Kyle's sword and removed it from it's bandage sheath. I took Alex's sword, replaced Kyle's sword with Alex's, and wrapped Luna's scarf around the handle. I slung the sword over my back and picked up Mia's book of spells. I read a spell to bless the sword with the power of my friends' spirits to slay any monster that dared to attack me and a spell to make the plushie doll extra lucky so it can be my lucky charm. I put it in my pocket. I looked at Nash's wand and put it in a pocket under the black trench coat I was wearing, just incase I needed to use quick magic.
"I don't know where to go..." I mumbled as I picked up the box.
I looked around the house and spotted the White Dragon Wings. I grabbed them and put them in the box. Quickly, I walked out of the house. It brought back too many memories of good times. With a heavy heart, I left Burg, never to return again.

Note: I've written two stories about Nall. I wouldn't mind reading some myself you know. I can't do all the work! Someone else write some stories I can enjoy! Go ahead! I'll encourage you all the way! Review.
