Nasrad
Inn
Day 02 of the docking of the Albatross II~
Vyse still slumbered beside her bed, the night when they had exchanged their vows of love to one another had been brief yet full of emotion as the truth first was uttered from both their lips. Their kiss had been a kiss charged not only with their love but with the relief that each loved the other just as much as could be.
However that didn't change the fact that Vyse's snoring got on her nerves, she loved the man alright with all her heart but a wounded girl could only take so much abuse. Aika shoved her head under her pillows as Vyse's unintentional barrage continued unabated for the next several minutes. However Aika could take it no more and grabbed a pillow and took aim with her good arm before throwing it with as deadly as accuracy as she did with her boomerang.
With a muffled shout of surprise, Vyse was knocked sideways by the deadly pillow. He struggled to get it off his face and when he did glared straight at Aika who had turned over and tried to look asleep. Vyse watched her for several minutes, he knew it was her but he was waiting for her to revel herself as the culprit.
Finally after more waiting he could hear her beginning to laugh, smiling viscously, Vyse grabbed the same pillow that she had flung into his face. Waiting a couple of more seconds Vyse aimed at her head and brought down the pillow with great force, causing her to gasp in surprise. At his he started to laugh boldly though knowing that some horrible fate was in store for him, Aika had always beaten Vyse in a pillow fight before and he didn't think her being injured would improve his chances.
"Vyse Dyne, how can you be a Blue Rogue attacking hurt innocent girls like this?" Aika taunted as she grabbed her other pillow and swiftly turned and counter attacked.
Using his speed Vyse barely avoided being smacked in the face with the deadly fluffy weapon. Aika laughed as she brought up her pillow to guard against Vyse's own counter attack. Both were laughing and enjoying themselves, their problems forgotten as they did what they had both promised themselves they would do, enjoy each others company while they could.
After several minutes of pillow fighting, Aika winced as Vyse hit her hurt arm on accident. The play stopped there as Vyse got up in a hurry and leaned over her to make certain he hadn't hurt her any worse. "Aika…you ok I didn't hurt you did I". Concern was evident in his voice, he wasn't sure how badly Aika had been hurt, he himself had never really be shot before.
"Vyse don't baby me…I'll be just fine, a couple of Black Pirate thugs who got off a lucky shot can't hurt me that badly.." Aika smiled at Vyse to ease his concern. Though a devilish idea entered her head at the same time. "Oh Vyse…I could use some breakfast…since my injuries prevent me from getting it myself". Aika gave one of her sweetest and most innocent looks on her face while Vyse glared at her for a few moments and then decided to play along.
"…And would her majesty want anything else this morning then" Vyse said with great drama in his voice. He knew she wasn't able to get it herself but that didn't mean he was going to give her the pleasure of seeing him wait on her hand and foot without complaint.
Aika did her best to look as snooty as possible. "I'm quite certain my pillows need fluffing, I'll trouble you to do so Mr. Vyse". Aika looked away and turned her nose up at Vyse who barely kept himself from laughing out loud.
Aika smiled as Vyse left the room in search of food, "This is going to be fun…I've got him all to myself now". Aika blushed at the thought before lay down and closed her eyes to take a short nap while Vyse fixed the food.
Vyse looked happy as he walked down the stairs to the main room in the Inn. Not only had he reveled his feelings to Aika and she to him, but they had some time together, alone without having to worry about Fina. The thought of Fina brought about a frown, she was the one problem that he faced, the black pirates were nothing compared to her. But what had to be done had to be done, Vyse knew it wouldn't be easy but he and Aika would break it to her, together as her best friends. They had been through so much together, but this alone might be enough to truly...no... he wouldn't even consider the possibility of Fina running away from Aika and him.
The Inn keeper smiled and nodded at Vyse as he walked past her and headed towards the Inns kitchen. He thought he would make some Keota eggs for the both of them, he knew his would be a hell of alot better then the ones Aika had cooked for him. Vyse frowned again as his thoughts turned to Fina once again, he wondered why he hadn't had Fina stay with Aika instead of himself. He frowned as he thought it over, she would be safer here at the Inn, the pirates had no knowledge that Aika even lived, if they attacked anywhere it would be the docks.
As Vyse continued to make breakfast he kept thinking the problem over. Had he unknowingly put himself closer to Aika, even though it would mean Fina would be in more danger? He knew Gilder could take care of himself in a melee but Fina was a different matter. Vyse sighed as he started to cook the eggs, no it wasn't going to be easy these next few weeks but somehow all three of them would manage.
Still, nothing would distract him from the plans he had in store for him and Aika tonight...

Aika opened her eyes and sat up as Vyse entered the door carrying both treys in his hands. She sat up and gave him a smile as he sat her trey down on her lap. "Her majesties order of breakfast cooked to her likening I hope".
As she started to eat Aika noticed that Vyse hadn't even sat down to eat yet. He seemed nervous about something and Aika had no idea what. She continued to eat slowly, waiting for Vyse to say what he was going to say. It seemed that although they had grown closer in that short night and morning that had talked, that they still time to get used to being officially in love. The thought made Aika frown a bit, however she knew that it would pass and they would soon be doing things with each other, that they had only dreamed of. The treasure they would find, the fights they would get in, the lands and places still yet undiscovered, they love they would share would be part of all of it, both physically and mentally.
The sudden thought of her and Vyse in that manner made her blush and it took Vyse's voice to snap her out of her train of thought. " Aika I was wondering…if your up to it of course…but would you maybe like to watch the stars tonight…with me I mean".
Aika was puzzled at Vyse's request, she knew that star seeing would be romantic and all but why was he so nervous about it. Vyse saved her from further confusion by speaking up once more. " Tonight the skies above Nasr are supposed to be as clear as water and the stars are supposed to be well....beautiful tonight and its said the Yellow moon can be seen as clear as a Yafoutomian pond. This only happens once every thirty years, Aika, would you spend the night watching them with me?"
"Of course Vyse, but you'll have to help me up to the roof…I'm still a little sore you know" Vyse laughed at Aika's bold statement, she had only been shot yesterday and she looked like she was ready to sail again if he asked her to.
"Heh ok then, well I'm going to take a nap for awhile" Vyse stretched and winced. "I need to sleep in a real bed for a bit, that wall was brutal on my back."
Aika laughed then teased Vyse. "Look at the big hero Vyse, can't even handle one night without a bed, maybe your too old for me Vyse". Aika barely dogged the pillow that Vyse threw at her, she laughed once more as she saw him smile. "Ok then…you take a nap but you better not oversleep, I'd rather not have to wake you up and get another black eye for it".
Vyse only rolled his eyes as the opened the door to leave. He turned to flash her a smile and stopped and looked her over once again. She was beauty in his eyes, her own eyes shone with excitement and love, he could hardly believe it was all real. The stress of the past few years had seemed to melt away into a distant memory after last night. All Vyse knew was that the future would be a very happy one, if only the problems of telling Fina and the Black Pirates could be solved.
"Oh yeah before I forget…Fina and Gilder should be coming tomorrow, She'll change your bandages and before you say anything I'll make sure to keep Gilder out of the room for you." Aika stuck her tongue out at Vyse before he closed the door behind him and left.
"Star gazing with Vyse…sounds like a fun first date for us." Aika thought as she opened a book that Ilchlymis had given her for her last birthday. As she turned the page she could barely keep her thoughts on the book. "Date…me and Vyse…I thought this day would never come". She smiled as she tried to concentrate on reading, it was a long time till night fall.
The sun continued to rise over Nasrad, promising a new day with a new beginning. The people began their daily routines in life, not knowing what the day might bring.
--------------
Nasrad
Docks
Same time as above events.
The docks bustled with activity borne from a mixture of desperation and worry, The crew of the Albatross II had been informed of the developments over the past day, most of the crew had been so angered at the attack on their friends that they wanted to march to the Black Pirates headquarters. Fina and Gilder had stifled that idea by stating the captains orders, To defend the Albatross until both Vyse and Aika could rejoin them.
The captains of the other two Blue Rogue ships, the Sky Cutter and the Storm Bringer, had sworn to help defend Vyse's ship. With their combined numbers it was rumored that they almost equaled the Black Pirate force that still plagued the streets of Nasrad. Still they were only rumors that floated in the towns taverns and could easily have been started by Black Pirates, Vyse's crew hadn't lived so long and through a war that shook the foundations of the world by relaxing in times of danger.
Fina turned away from all the action at the harbor, it didn't interest her in the lest bit. She knew she should be there helping Gilder or the others but she couldn't shake the feelings that had carried over from all that had happened yesterday. Not only did she nearly lose her best friend in the world but she had nearly died herself. Fina shook her head and looked out towards the sky.
Her thoughts couldn't help but turn to Vyse and the feelings she had for him, she had shown up on his world alone and unknowingly on a mission to destroy all that he knew and loved. But he and Aika had taken her in, rescued her when they could have easily left and had a better chance of living, had stayed by her side all throughout her quest and her decision to stand against the only people she could call family. She had fallen in love with the handsome Air Pirate of that there was no doubt.
"Hey Fina you going to stand there looking our at the clouds or you going to help me with this motley bunch?" Gilders voice wafted from the docks.
Fina sighed and turned and climbed down from the walls that surrounded the city and back into the port area, she knew she shouldn't focus on her feelings for Vyse when both he and Aika where counting on her to help the crew and prepare for a battle. She knew that no matter what happened she could never bear to let Vyse down.
"Fina…don't worry so much about the kid and Aika…knowing her she's probably making his life hell and getting better at it with ever passing minute" Gilder threw his head back and laughed. "I know girls Fina so I can assure you that you got the better part of the deal here"
Fina smiled at Gilder, she knew he was trying to cheer her up and as usual he was doing a pretty good job of it but she still worried for her friends "Maybe but I still would like to see them again as soon as possible…it worries me to be away from them in a time like this.."
Gilder only shrugged and looked up at the sun, it was starting to become noon and his plans for barricading the harbor in case of a Black Pirate attack had just gotten underway. "No way I can leave the place like this…and I won't let Fina take off to go see them on her own…we don't need her getting shot at either…tough luck kid…"
Gilder only shrugged, " I know how you feel Fina, but Vyse's orders are pretty clear… and they make damn good sense too but as soon as we get this harbor a bit more Blue Rogue friendly we'll go and check up on them like planned"
Fina only nodded, she knew exactly that everything Gilder was saying was true to a fault but her heart still yearned to be with her friends. Getting resolve that she had gained while traveling with those same friends she smiled at Gilder and started towards where the combined crews were barricading the entrance to the city proper. With another smile towards the confused Gilder she whistled loud and captured the attention of the crews.
"Listen up you rowdy rouges, I've got something to say!" Vyse's crew stood in stunned silence, they had never seen Fina so confident and in command, the other crews seeing the reaction of the hero's crew also stood in silence. "I'm sure you all know what happened to Aika…and you know the Captain is with her right now making sure the Black Pirates don't try anything…"
With a smile that was sweeter then any Loqua could ever be. "I know we all want to see the Captain and Aika back as soon as we can…and that means the faster we get this place ready for a Black Pirate attack the sooner they can be back with us" With that she calmly walked up the steps where the barricade was being built and grabbed a hammer and some nails. "So who's willing to work double shifts with me to get this thing finished so Vyse and Aika can come back…?"
Only seconds passed before a loud cheer broke out among the crews, Fina's idea had indeed worked as she had planned. Most of the rough and tumble men in the crew were far more honorable then the so called noble families in Old Valua ever had been. Thus they refused to allow a pretty and gentle girl like Fina do any hard labor by herself, all could see she was ready to work till she dropped to finish the barricade and that just wasn't allowable. Several members rushed forward to assist her
Gilder couldn't help but laugh, "She's becoming as good a pirate as Vyse or me…I think she's been hanging around Aika to much" He smiled as some of the men from the other two Blue Rogue ships started to try to show off to Fina who just smiled shyly or laughed as one crewmember or another messed up. The crew from Vyse's ship joined in Gilders laughter though they kept in eye out in case any started to get too friendly. Still despite all the distraction the look on Fina's face still had a hint of determination and intensity "Oh yeah…those two have rubbed off on her…she's a lot different from the shy little girl I saw in that bar here so many years ago…"
Gilder turned away from the scene after a few more seconds of watching. "Time to see if i can work out my own plan...that barricade won't hold off a full attack forever...I've got a pretty good idea on what to do if they do break through." Gilders gaze cast itself on a cannon that had recently been removed from the Storm Bringer for repairs. A smile played across his face as he thought of the possibilities that a well placed cannon could mean.

Nasrad City Proper
Nasrad Inn
3:00 P.M
Aika's nightmare
The pain of the bullets entering her body seemed explode throughout her body a thousand times worse then they had before, this time her scream was cut short by the thud and pain of a large boot in her face. "Heh…looks like you won't be doing much fighting anymore you little hellcat…too bad I had to kill you but I'm sure your blonde friend will make just a good a hostage…" Aika coughed weakly as she tried to form the words to tell the man to cast himself into deep sky.
The sound of familiar footfalls began to echo, Aika knew the sound of those boots all to well… they belonged to Vyse. Without a sound the large man stepped back into the shadows easily concealing himself from sight. Aika tried her hardest to call out to Vyse to watch out yet no sound came from her lips.
The footfalls stopped and she heard Vyse call out her name In distress yet she couldn't make out anything else he said. She felt his arms wrap around her yet she felt no comfort for fear of the large man still standing in the shadows, her eyes widened in fear as the large man slowly stepped out from behind the shadows. Once again Aika tried to scream or struggle, anything that would get Vyse's attention but to no avail her body would not move and her mouth would again make no sound.
She looked into Vyse's face hoping that he would be able to see the pleading look on her face yet he seemed blinded by his own tears. Aika tried to scream out once more as the large man aimed his gun towards the back of Vyse's head…
Aika's body thrashed about as the nightmare came to its grizzly conclusion, she awoke screaming his name while her body racked itself with sobs of fear and loss. Though she knew she was now awake the dream seemed so vivid that the uncontrollable fear of his loss coursed through her very veins and refused to let go.
"VYSE!!!!!!!" was all Aika could think or scream for the next several minutes…
Vyse's Nightmare
The shots rang out in the night, his mind raced faster then his feet, cursing himself for ever leaving the ship and the girls alone, as he struggled to run faster towards the sound of the gunfire. He felt as though lead weights had been strapped to his boots but he was unable to do anything about it, her scream seemed to cut through the night air and his heart like a knife and once again Vyse cursed his slow legs to deep sky and back.
The night seemed to close in on him as he finally reached the alleyway after what seemed like a lunar cycle, the darkness loomed ahead as he ran into the alley hoping all the while that she would be alright. "Aika?! Aika answer me!!" Vyse called out as he continue to run for what seemed like miles, before he reached where she lay.
Vyse fell to his knees at the sight of her once again covered in blood, yet this time he couldn't see her move, he put his ear to her heart but heard no beat. This time she truly was dead and there was no way he could save her. Tears begin to roll down Vyse's cheeks as he cradled her limp and lifeless form. Rocking back and forth he only felt a cold emptiness, like all the joy in his life had just left Arcadia forever.
Vyse heard footsteps and slowly turned around, in front of him was a large man with a viscous smirk on his face, the smoking gun in his hand was all the evidence the distraught Vyse needed. "YOU BASTARD! You'll pay for this!!" Vyse yelled as he rose to his feet, reaching for his cutlasses only to find them missing. With a mocking laugh the large man pointed his gun straight at Vyse, Vyse's last thoughts were "Forgive me Aika…I couldn't even avenge you…"
The sound of someone knocking on the door to his room in the inn startled Vyse from his nightmare. With a worried look around to see that he was indeed still in his room in the inn, he got up to open the door. "Who is it?"
"Mr. Vyse my deepest apologies for waking you but…your friend the girl air pirate suddenly wished to see you…she sounded quite urgent. She just started screaming out your name an…"
Vyse already out of the door before the innkeeper could even finish her sentence. Vyse's fear betrayed the look on his face, he feared that somehow the Black Pirates had found out she was still alive and had snuck into the Inn with the intent to finish her off while he slept. Moons help the poor fool they convinced to try to hurt Aika again, this time he would be much less merciful to the one trying to hurt the one he loved.
Kicking open the door Vyse prepared to charge into the room, ready to fight to the death if need be but instead all he saw was Aika sobbing into her pillow like a small child. "What the hell?" was the only thought that ran through Vyse's mind. It took a hell of a lot to make Aika cry like that… the last time he had seen her cry like that was when she had lost both her parents.
"Vyse? Vyse is that you?!" Aika suddenly brought her face out of her pillow and relief hit her as she saw him stand in her doorway still alive. "Oh Vyse I…I thought I had lost you…I had the most horrible nightmare". Aika's sobs and tears slowed down considerably yet didn't stop.
Vyse kneeled down beside her bed and grasped onto her hands holding them tight within his own. "Shhh…its alright Aika…it was just a bad dream I'm still alright and so are you…" Aika nodded and she stopped sobbing completely. "I think I had the same nightmare as you Aika…"
Aika only sighed with relief and lay her head against his chest, she wrapped her arms around Vyse despite the pain and held on to him tightly. "Vyse…please stay with me…I do…I don't think i could bear to see that dream again for as long as I live…" The sound of her voice and the tight grip she had over him told Vyse that he couldn't say no even if he had wanted to.
Vyse slowly started to run his hands through Aika's hair in a comforting manner. "Alright Aika…I'll go ask the Innkeeper for some extra blankets or something and I'll sleep on the floor right next to you"
Aika refused to release her grip. "Vyse…I mean…will you…" she couldn't get the words out for some reason and her face turned as red as the moon above Nasr, yet she hoped Vyse would understand what she wanted.
The confused look on Vyse's face soon passed as he realized just what she wanted. Aika slid over in her bed and made room not for the legendary Air Pirate known as Vyse or the savior of Arcadia but for the man that she loved, not the man whose bravery and courage had lead the world to its salvation but the same gentle and sweet Vyse whom she had grown up with on Pirate Isle.
Vyse wrapped his arms around not the woman who had been part of his crew during the wars, but around the woman whom he would spend the rest of his life with. he settled down next to the girl who had been such a pain when they were kids, not next to the greatest female Air Pirate to have ever lived. Aika and Vyse snuggled against each other like both had dreamed they one day could. Both finding comfort and strength within one another.
Aika and Vyse knew the day would come where they would share their love in another meaning, but for now, both were perfectly happy just being near each other and alive together. Their life would be entwined forever more and their adventures together only getting better. Slowly both drifted off together, their dreams no longer nightmares but shared dreams of the future they would share together...and nightfall was still a long way off.

Nasrad
Unknown Building, Back streets
5:00 p.m.
"So you mean to tell me Vorpel...that not only do you have NO idea where the hero is but you also ignored orders and attacked his friends...and you can't even be sure you killed the one you claimed you did!" the man speaking sighed and drummed his fingers on the table at which he and the so called leader of their captains ground forces sat. "Perfect Vorpel....just bloody perfect...why didn't you just paint a big sign for the hero telling him all our plans!"
Vorpel cringed under the barrage of sarcasm and cynicism from Durango, his captain's right hand man. Durango was a sailor from somewhere in Middle Ocean, his trademark long brown hair, clean shaven face, Valuan armor and blade made some believe that he used to serve in the ranks of Old Valua though none could prove whether he just stole them from somewhere or whether he really did used to serve in the old Armada.
Vorpel knew he had screwed up big by acting without orders and even failing to finish off what he had started. He had nearly cowered in fear when he had heard that Durango was coming personally to evaluate his behavior and actions. He wasn't the most feared man next to their captain in the fleet for nothing.
"I'm...I'm sorry sir, truly I am but I thought..."
Durango's fist slamming down on the table as well as the sound of Durango's knife being drawn from its sheath and also hitting the table did much to shut up Vorpel. "That's the problem Vorpel...you thought...you weren't put here by Captain Marcus to think...you were put here to keep the citizens cowed and under control...a job which I thought was to much for you but Captain Marcus told me to have faith in you...it seems he may have overestimated your abilities greatly"
That stung Vorpel's pride like none other, he had taken great pride in the fact that his captain had chosen him out of all the others, Durango included, to head up the crew that would stay ashore. that same pride gave him the courage to make what some would later call the boldest and stupidest statement he had ever made. "Now wait just a damn minute Durango!"
Durango smiled on the inside, he knew how to work stupid brutes like Vorpel easy...sting their pride and they play into your hands like puppets. "What Vorpel...what can you do to possibly make up for a mistake this stupid and appalling?"
Vorpel grinned, he had another plan, one that would work greatly to his favor if it worked. "I'm sure you know by now that the main port has been overrun by Blue Rogues...what if i was to lead and attack and wipe them all out? would that make up for the...mishap that has occurred recently?"
Leaning back in his chair as though he was thinking quite hard about Vorpels offer. "Heh...what a total fool...Captain Marcus has already decided to rob what's left of Nasrad and then bombard the city to the ground...leaving this fool who's brutish tactics are the reason we have to pull out...the Captain told me to find a way to get rid of him and this works just fine". Durango stroked his chin as though he was still deep in thought though he already knew the outcome.
Vorpel started to sweat, he had to make this deal work or else he knew he would be headed either for Maroon Island or some other horrible fate. "I also promise to bring back the hero's head on a platter or i won't come back period. This i swear on the honor of the Black Pirates!"
Durango had to keep himself from laughed out loud, the fool was going to play straight into his hands, he began to question whether he even needed to have come all this way. "Hmmm...interesting proposal Vorpel...Fine I'll tell Cap'n Marcus about this and if you can do this within the next two days then i won't have to return here to...bring you back to justice hahahahaha!"
Durango stood up and retrieved his knife from the table. "Just make sure you kill the hero...if you don't, you better leap off the island before i come to get you...i assure you it will be much easier on you." without another word Durango exited the building, heading to where he had secretly docked his private ship.
With a slight of relief and a shake of his head Vorpel leaned back in his chair. "What a crazy son of a...." Vorpel never finished his statement as the Loqua bottle on the table called to him. "Don't know how I'm going to get that bastard Vyse but its got to be done or I'm a dead man...". Vorpel took a long drink of the Loqua before the decided to continue his thoughts. "I'll attack tomorrow around noon...if I'm lucky I'll be able to kill the hero and the crews of those two Blue Rogue captains in one fell swoop...otherwise" Vorpel took another swig of Loqua and didn't bother to finish his repeated thought.
Tomorrow at noon the fight for Nasrad would begin, As for tonight however...
--------------------------
Nasrad
Inn
11:50 p.m.
Vyse yawned and stretched again as he waited outside of Aika's room, she had still been asleep when the Innkeeper had woken him up as he has requested earlier. He knew she needed as much rest as possible in order to heal herself. Green magic was good for on the spot healing but for something like this, rest and medicine where the best way to insure she would recover fully. His thoughts turned sour again as the memory of her laying in a alleyway, near death forced itself once again into his mind. He would find the man who was responsible for her injury and pay him back like no other.
The sound of her waking in the room, brought him out of his thoughts. he smiled as he thought would lay ahead of them that night. "Heh...never really thought i would be going on a DATE with Aika...if you had asked me back when we were going around looking for the Moon Crystals I would have thought the idea crazy..." Vyse smiled again and slowly opened the door to the room, poking his head in only slightly. "You feel up to going to the roof with me tonight?"
Aika smiled as she slowly sat up, it would take alot more then just a wounded shoulder and chest to keep her from Vyse. She slowly moved her shoulder in circular motions. Already some of the soreness was disappearing. " I don't know what the old man used but I'm sure Ilchlymis would nearly kill to know...i feel alot better already." She slowly got out of the bed and stood on her own two feet though she swayed a little and she found it a bit harder to breathe. "Shouldn't push myself though..."
When Aika didn't answer, Vyse entered in the room. "Hey you sure you up to this?"
Aika only shook her head as she steadied herself on the bed post. "What did I say about babying me Vyse? I'll be fine"
Vyse only shook his head and gave a short laugh, he knew when he had lost a battle before it even had begun when it came to Aika and that was one of those times. Instead of arguing he went over to Aika and offered her his shoulder for him to lean on. "Fine, but if you gotta promise not to go wandering off or anything"
Aika gladly took up his offer and leaned on Vyse, her arms already wrapped around him. Aika couldn't help but feel better from the warmth of his body and the feeling welling deep within her. "Alright but only if you make me the same promise..." she whispered as his own arms wrapped around her own body.

Nasrad
Inn Rooftop
12:15 p.m.
After what seemed like an eternity, Vyse and Aika had finally made it to the top of the Inn, Their quiet laugther at whatever trails had taken place trying to get the still wounded Aika up the ladder to the rooftop would be forever between them. Yet as could be told from the smiles on their faces, said trials had seemed quite enjoyable to both.
The stars above Nasr that night were indeed as clear as Vyse had been told, and even the Yellow Moon that shone above Valua could even be seen in the distance. This truly was a night on which the great poems and sonnets of love were written, a night in which a pure love would shine as bright as any star that shone on Arcadia. A love pure and just that would without a doubt shine its fullest on a night where the sky would be just as pure.
Their laughter and joy seemed to be without reason to the untrained eye or the unknowing mind. Their happiness seemed to be without fear of the events that had occurred within the city. It seemed as though the moons and Arcadia itself refused to allow any interruption of the two who had prevented a horrible fate that even planet and moons themselves seemed powerless to stop. Yes, it seemed as though any fool who dared interrupt the joy that Vyse and Aika were now sharing at long last would earn the ire of the moons themselves.
The stars themselves shone down upon the two heroes of Arcadia as the sound of their laughter soon died. yet it was only because their close embrace and the fact neither seemed able to tear their gaze from the other. Like they had when their love was first allowed to bloom, their hearts beat in tandem and their souls seemed to gain a gleam that even the blind would be able to see shine on this night in which love seemed untamed.
As their hearts beat as one, as their souls entwined and shot up unto the heavens themselves, Vyse leaned forward and kissed Aika as he had that night which seemed so long ago, Aika tenderly returned his kiss and the heavens seemed to shake from the force and power that their unleashed emotions possessed. Barely before their kiss had started, then a shooting star passed, though unnoticed by the two who's hearts and minds saw no one but each other.
The legendary hero of Arcadia was at last getting his reward for his valor and courage in saving the world, not the fame nor the fortune. The respect and admiration of all those on the planet paled in comparison to what he had just received. His heart and soul belonged to another now, as hers had long since promised themselves to him.
As their kiss ended, yet their embrace still strong, the two began to speak with one another. Soft whispering words of love that had waited so very long to be said. Those words would forever be kept between the too, none would know exactly what had been said that night. their love which was as pure as the skies and stars above, the strength that they now drew from each other, dwarfed the power of all the Gigas combined tenfold. The future that they would share seemed as endless as stars above.
As the night wore on, their words and embraces seemed to never end. their kisses beyond count it would seem to many. This was a love that had remained in the dark for so long in fear of harming another, in fear of the other. And now it was without constraint. The moments of their lives seemed to pass before the two as they recalled and enjoyed their new life together. Vyse and Aika, Aika and Vyse. Forever would these two be together, till the end of time itself would their hearts be one...
The love of two Blue Rogues, a new chapter in the chronicles of Arcadia, a new chapter in the already amazing lives that they had led. Their adventures and battles together would as they had always been in the past, shared. Their lives and love stretched before them. This, the beginning of the new...the ending of the old...The day that forever more would the two be one....
And the night seemed without end~

Cappy=....well there ya go folks...that was me...well writing what i consider a very romantic scene...i didn't overdo it did i?
I thought the whole italics and sorta different perspective from which i usually write would be...umm artsy is the word i have for it..
in any case i do hope you enjoyed...i had fun writing it....of course this isn't the end mind you, far from it...but i just had some fun writing it (mostly me getting extremely keyed up from ideas entering my head).
To those who have read my SonAmy fic...never fear i am NOT quitting on that...i'm just taking an indefinite break...ya see this was my very first fic ever...and i did my SonAmy because i needed a break from Skies...well now i need a break from my Sonic fic and i'm returning to this until i need a break from it...so thats sorta how my system works..sorry to disappoint any of ya'll about it but thats just the way it is.
Once again i would be most grateful for all who read and review for me...you guys really don't know how much it means to me when i get a really good review telling me i'm a great writing...you wouldn't guess it but I've got serious self esteem problems and self doubting runs rampant within my mind...so yeah every time i get a review saying how great my work is or how good i am it really bucks me up and helps me, so once again Thanks guys/gals :)
wow...that was one long rant....anyway...guess I'm going to sign off or something...till we meet again fellow lovers of writing!
