Chapter 5
It was a nice starlit evening in the small mountain town of Mirimu, Elena had spent many a good hour since she and her minstrel troupe had travelled over the cold and desolate Lumir forest , they always reminded her of what she was capable of , after all it was among those stars that she helped destroy the Devil of darkness so why shouldn't she be thankful every time she looked up at them? Over the last couple of days though , Elena had properly befriended the young Aira , who had completely recovered from her possession by the Eye of Valmar. She remembered back to when they first arrived in the village, where the townspeople had given her a hero's or heroine's if you're picky, welcome. Little Aira had then come up and gave her a wreath much to the jubilation of her, it had truly been a great experience for her to see that she had became the energetic little girl she had remembered. Her mind drifted as she gradually remembered other events from that time, she thought of the last time she had been here, it had been a happy time , Roan had even managed to find her and speak to her. The things he spoke about made her think of Ryudo again and how much she truly missed him. However she did remember that she tried to bottle her feelings for him up too , maybe it was just a show of inner strength at the time , but as the time passed, she realised she missed him more than ever. Sighing she stood up and walked into her tent at the town entrance so she could prepare for tonight's singing performance that she would have to give to the townspeople before they packed up the next morning. The next stop on their tour would be Liligue, she was looking forward to that , after all she had been wanting to meet Millenia again for quite a long time, after all she did save her life and never did thank her for it. It was only in the last couple of weeks she had realised that she hadn't shown her appreciation for it.
Millenia awoke with Skye staring down on her , "you feeling okay?" he said. "Been better" she replied with, "What happened?" she asked. Skye shut his eyes and shook his head slowly, "Melfice seems to have been resurrected, Liligue is gone, all of it is gone". Millenia sprung up from the bed that she seemed to recognise "What!!?" she screamed before a tear slipped down her cheek. Skye re-assuringly said "don't worry we had the time to evacuate before Melfice destroyed everything". Millenia attempting to regain her composure, calmly asked "where are we now?" , "Agear town" Skye replied, Millenia smiled a little realising why this bed sit seemed so familiar. She almost had Ryudo here a little over a year ago but Roan had run off somewhere. She remembered having to free Ryudo so they could go find him, many a time she dreamt of what could have happened had those events not come to pass, however she came to the conclusion that Ryudo would still come back to her and it would just be a matter of time before she saw him again. With this thought in mind , she suddenly dozed back off to sleep, Melfice had hit her hard , she wasn't fully recovered yet. Skye could see that too and kept watch over her while Vyx kept watch over the town with a few swordsmen should Melfice show up round here looking for her. Skye knew it wouldn't be nearly enough , after all if Millenia , a possessor of a god's power couldn't get near him then what could even an army of mortal human soldiers do against him? However he thought it was only common practice that Vyx would want to volunteer his men to help protect her, after she helped save all of them a year ago.
