~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(Ooeeoo! the next morning after the events of the previous chapter . . .)
The next morning Rosa awoke early, got dressed and made her way to the kitchen, she had been dreaming, dreaming of Terra of the pond and the light's that faded into one another, she had to remind her self that Terra was gone, the portal closed and sealed, perhaps with a huge amount of natural energy they could re-open the portal, but they would have only a small chance of the other end opening up onto Terra, too much and they would open up on another planet, not enough and they would collapse the island they attempted to open the portal on.
She ate slowly considering this, then shook herself, that was in the past, but . . . she had heard rumors around the town that there was an expedition planed with the best of the bounty hunters to go and find an island where supposedly, it was only accessible twice a day, the gravitational pull of the two moons she guessed, and explore the caves, where a underwater civilization had lived and died leaving behind huge riches of knowledge and machines, which would be interesting . . .
She finished eating and after cleaning up after herself, she left the castle by the airship buses getting her odd looks from the guard and pilot of the airship, they were quietly conversing about her, but she could hear them thanks to Garland wanting the best hosts possible.
"What the hell is she doing out at this hour?!" growled the pilot "she woke me up! No one ever needs the airship from the castle at this time of the morning! It's still dark!" "She's one of the honored guests from Black Mage Village, the genomeians or something, I hear they're eccentric" "and all women?" snorted the pilot spitting over the side "thers ya problem" they arrived and Rosa left after thanking them, but she could feel their eyes on her back until she rounded the corner.
It was true that there were less 'male' Genomes than female, and they tended to stay within Black Mage Village, perhaps they were hard to tell from Female Genomes and seeing as they were the first embassies from Black Mage Village perhaps no one had seen male Genomes, apart from Zidane, but he was widely known and accepted, how and why was he accepted? What made them different, the Tails yes, but Burmecian's had tails and they were accepted . . . that was something to think about in her spare time.
it was indeed silent this early I the morning, but the side streets were filled with strangers wearing heavy dark clothing and holding a great assortment of weapons eyeing all who walked past with hooded eyes.
She had no knowledge of the weapons laws in such cities as these, but they most likely outlawed those weapons, not that it was any of her business, the silence was broken all of a sudden by sounds of swords clashing, she looked over in the direction they were coming from, a street over, the shortest way would be through a shortcut she assessed the danger, and decided to try it.
As she approached the alleyway however, the mask and bandanna clad thugs shifted aside for her, averting their eyes and she went through the middle of the narrow alley, perhaps a custom for strangers? Either way she made it through the alley safely. On the other side she observed that the fighting appeared to be coming from a pub. She decided not to enter, that would most likely drastically shorten her life pan.
There was a sound of a solid punch and a bulky man blood streaming from his nose flew out the door to smash against the pavement. She stood back. As another man backed out the doors fists up. As he backed out a younger man appeared and smashed him across the face with the flat of his Axe. As the fight raged on Rosa revised that, a young woman, not man.
After a while there was only the woman standing, she sheathed the huge blade n her back and spat. Then turned to go back into the pub, and noticed Rosa standing watching her "hey you! What're lookin' at!" she yelled "I was observing you" answered Rosa truthfully. "Hang on . . . are you . . . yeah, your like that monkey boy" ". . ." said Rosa "well don't hang out around here, lets go in" said the woman and she walked in to the pub. Rosa dutifully followed her.
Inside she made her way across to where the woman had gotten a table leaned her Axe against the wall and sat leaning back with her feet on the table. "Well c'mon" she said, Rosa followed her and took a seat at the table smoothing her skirt out. "So girl what's ya name?" "Rosa" she said "pleased to meetcha my name is . . .Lani the worlds most beautiful bounty hunter!" she announced arms wide as if announcing something dramatic, and then she folded her arms again. "So why are you hanging around here at this time?" Lani asked Rosa "Looking" she said flatly "whatever" said Lani dismissively "so girl have ya ever thought of being a bounty hunter?" said Lani suddenly "ah-""know any spells?" asked Lani "spells are useful, if ya know a lot you'll be as god as any bounty hunter, besides I'm lookin' for a mage for my next trip . . ." "well, I know all black, white, red, blue and a few other general types of magic" said Rosa doubtfully
"What?!" Lani's arms flailed as she nearly fell off her chair "all of them?!" "As far as I know, not things like Flare star and crystal flare but all know ones" "holy shit! Your not kidding are ya?! Because if ya aren't I can certainly give you a job" ". . ." said Rosa considering this "Aww, well think about it 'kay? And if you wanna talk about it I'll be . . . in the Theater district, somewhere" then she stood up narrowly not falling off her precariously balanced chair, and left without a word leaving Rosa considering her offer just what was a bounty hunter, exactly? She would have to talk to Mikoto about this, she left, and headed back for the castle.
