Chapter 17 - Mysteries...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Menardi ran through the rubble, seeking out any and all wounded in the city. She did not know why they would not let her fight at the frontlines, but she would do her duty, even if it was finding the wounded for the healers to assist. Still, it was something to do, better than sitting around waiting.
She ran past one house that had been seared by a flame blast. Peering into the abode, Menardi noted the smell of burnt flesh and the lack of any sign of life. Whatever had been in that house had died when the blast struck.
She noted another house that had only part of the structure destroyed by the fire. Stepping inside, she noticed that though half of the building was gone, the other half was still intact. And oddly enough, there was still someone in the house.
Or rather, on the ground.
Running up to the body, Menardi identified the woman as Feihzi. A small cut on her face bled lightly, and she was breathing faintly, despite the bad bruise on her head. Making a note of the house's location, Menardi went to get assistance.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Jenna sat at the table, listening to the tale that Jasper told them. The chamber they had choosen to confer was vast, easily four times the size of Collosio's stadium. The dirt-lined floor was made of some kind of metal, while they sat in metal chairs and a hard table, presumably from the same stuff as the floor. Around the walls sat some kind of bedding, thought what, she could not tell.
But when Jasper and Gracie explained their story, Jenna turned her full attention to them. Apparently, Jasper and "Robin" (whoever he was) were brothers, and both had agreed to support the Human Resistance against the "Anemian Empire." Supposedly, their father was the leader of this so-called empire, and Gracie and Jasper were married. And if that wasn't confusing enough, supposedly the children of Robin and Jasper had been taken to "Valeph," to guard the power of the Elemental Stars. "Valeph," it had been agreed, was Vale and Mt. Aleph.
As they kept talking, one thing did seem somewhat odd to Jenna - Jasper shared many of her features. The hair coloring, the facial look, even the eyes. Maybe she was being paranoid...
A shout from behind her drew her attention, as well as everyone else at the table. "We've spotted someone coming in from the south!"
Unsure as to what was going on, they all stood to go greet this person. However, they all drew their blades. Noone wanted anyone to dissapear after the kidnapping of Isaac and Nygel...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac strode towards the Venus Lighthouse, intent on finding his friends. And his quarry. He did not like his task that Kolar had forced him into, but he had little choice - if he didn't do it, Nygel would die. And even if he did, he would still be forced to do various tasks to ensure not only the survival of his "nephew," but of his quarry as well...
His eyes rose as he saw Jenna running towards him. He looked past her and saw... Wait, something was wrong. Beyond the first Jenna was ANOTHER Jenna. Except this one was far more femanine than the first one... What...?
The first Jenna reached him, grasping him in a tight bear hug. "Where have you been?! You've scared us to death, Robin!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
That was pitifully short, but it is better than nothing, which is almost what I had to do due to this mental block... Oh well...
I would do a commentary on the reviews, but it has been so long since I have been on (last night, but didn't plan on doing this...), and the fact that Outlook ate some files last night as well, I will do them next chapter...
PLEASE REVIEW!!!
