Chapter 5 (Percival's POV)
"Not again! Borus, come back here!!!" Percival screamed while running after Borus and Nash, who were working together to go after poor Hugo. "Dammit Borus! I'm not joking, this isn't funny!!! Grab Nash and get back here!" The poor Swordsman of Gale had been chasing the two admirers of Lady Chris for 3 hours straight. 'Borus...I'm going to kill you! And Nash...and maybe Hugo as well. Hugo may have solved our Borus-trying-to-kill-Nash problem, but it's just made a Borus-and-Nash-working-together-to-kill-Hugo- followed-by-going-after-each-other problem!' Leo was far behind him, he had already had to stop 13 times to catch his breath, but Percival wasn't blaming him. Hugo's an inhumanly fast runner, and Borus and Nash seem to be extremely fast, though not as fast as Hugo, when prompted.
"Slow.......down......you....g...uy...s...." Leo tried to yell through pants. Nash and Borus were out of sight.
"Oh no...we've lost them."
"Lost them?! Grrrrrr...Once those three come back, I'm going to kill them!"
"Wait...they're heading towards Iksay. Oh no! They'd better not trash the village!" Percival just ran faster. 'I'm literally going to kill them if they mess up Iksay!!!'
(Hugo's POV)
Hugo was still sprinting as fast as when he had first started out. He was debating about going to Iksay.
'If I go to Iksay, I risk Borus and Nash trashing the village...then I'll have more then just those two on my back...but if I keep running, I'm sure to collapse or something! I can't keep this pace up forever. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all...' Hugo sprinted even faster when he heard rapid footsteps. "I'm so tired...my legs are going to fall off at this rate! But, I can't stop now." Hugo ran and ran as fast as he could. He saw Iksay on the horizen. 'I really need to stop...but Iksay might be ruined by those two if I do! I better keep going.' Hugo ran past the village and was soon on the Yaza Plains. It was dark and there was a full moon. Hugo could barely keep his eyes opened. But, they were still chasing him, so he continued to run. All of a sudden, he tripped on a rock and fell on his face.
"I'll....get....you...." Borus managed to say.
"Almost....there...." Nash muttered. Hugo's vision was blurry as he looked up to see two men. And...he saw armor.
'Oh no...well, I've lived a good life.' At this thought, everything went black.
Hugo sat straight up. He realized he was in a bed in Budehuc castle.
"How did I get back here...?" He said mostly to himself.
"Leo and I dragged you to your griffin friend who carried you back. You're lucky that we got there right before Borus and Nash got you."
"Huh?!" Hugo looked up in suprise. He saw Percival standing in the doorway smiling. He looked extremely sleepy. "Percival?"
"Yeah...Good thing you didn't run into Iksay. They might have ruined the crops or hurt someone! But, you must have been so tired from running that you lost conciousness."
"Oh...sorry." Hugo looked down embarassed that he had been so tired that he couldn't even stay awake while running.
"Well, you've solved the problem where Borus has been trying to kill Nash. But, now we have a new problem. Both of them teaming up to get rid of you."
"I...uhh....never thought that they would chase me that long. Oh! I told Chris I'd meet her, even though it was just to get those two to stop fighting, I still feel bad about not going."
"Don't worry. I filled her in. She says she forgives you on one condition..."
"What's the condition?" Hugo asked, tilting his head.
"She wants you to take her out to dinner tonight to make up for it." At this, Hugo blushed. Percival smiled mischieviously and walked over to the bed. "Aww...that's so cute. You have a crush on her, don't you?"
"I do not!!"
"Come on...you're not good at hiding it. You're up there with Borus and Nash. You can't hide your feelings when it comes to Chris. See? You're blushing! In fact, you blush ALMOST as much as Borus does when he's around her! Almost." Hugo's face was bright red and getting redder as Percival spoke.
"...Is it really that obvious? I never really thought about it until recently..." Hugo stated slowly.
"Yep! Of course, most people don't notice. It's only obvious to those who look. Like, Caesar. He pays alot more attention to everyone then they give him credit for. Or, Albert, he pays attention to how people act too. Strategist stuff, I guess, but it could just be a Silverberg thing. And you're duck friend, Sgt. Joe might say something about it as well. Not to mention that griffin you hang around, Fubar was it? Well, Fubar understands human languages from what you've told us, so he probably hears alot of things that others don't. And there are alot more people who can see stuff like this."
'Why can't I stop blushing? I really need to...this is embarassing! I never knew that I liked Chris this way!' Hugo got out of bed. "I'm going to go look for Fubar now." He left the room in a hurry.
(Albert's POV)
'Why must Yuber be so tactless? I'll have to talk to him later about watching what he says...' Albert mused silently as Sarah sat in shock.
"It's my fault...I must have done something wrong. That must be why Master Luc is so upset." Sarah mumbled quietly to herself.
"I highly doubt that. I think it's something else. You haven't done anything to upset him. In fact, I don't think you've ever done anything to make him anything but happy!" Albert tried comforting Sarah.
"Yep, all your fault." Yuber agreed with the poor mage while having a smile on his face. This caused Sarah to start sobbing while saying how it was all her fault.
"Could you excuse us for a moment?" Albert asked Sarah with a forced smile. She continued sobbing hysterically. 'I'll take that as a yes.' He grabbed Yuber by his arm and dragged him into a corner. "What's wrong with you?!"
"What do you mean? I'm a demon of chaos! I'm born to cause pain and suffering!! It's not my fault that she's so easy to take advantage of at the moment!" Yuber hissed back.
"Look, just be nice to her." Yuber cringed at the sound of nice. "Remember what I said."
"You can't dangle that over my head forever, Silverberg." Yuber growled while looking down at Albert.
"That's what you think, just try me." Albert narrowed his eyes up at the demon. Yuber sighed in surrender.
"Fine, fine have it your way. I give." Albert gave a small smile.
"Good. Now let's try to calm her down."
"I know a way to get her to stop crying AND end her pain. It'd be fun for me, too..." Yuber muttered under his breath.
"You say something?"
"Me? Of course not." The two walked back over to Sarah who was, suprise, still sobbing and blaming herself for everything bad that happened to Luc.
"Sarah...look, we'll find out what's wrong, okay? I'm positive that you weren't the cause." Sarah looked up slowly, her tears slowing a little as she looked at Albert.
"Really?" She asked, sniffling. Albert elbowed Yuber in the side softly.
"Huh? Oh, yeah sure, whatever." Yuber said unconvincingly. Sarah smiled and wiped her tears.
"Okay! I'll help in any way you guys need. Master Luc needs our help!" Sarah perked up right away.
"Albert, she's scaring me...and not in a good way." Yuber whispered quickly to Albert.
"Just don't worry about it, okay? Once we get to the bottom of this, it'll all be over."
"You sound like that detective brat..."
"Shut up."
"Hehe...hit a nerve, did I?"
"Just...stop talking for now."
"Whatever you say...detective."
"Grrr." (Percival's POV)
'Poor kid. I think I embarassed him a little too much. Oh well. I'll just go for a little walk before I finally get some sleep.' Percival smiled blissfully at the thought of sleep. So tranquil...and serene...and...
"MOVE IT YOU GUYS!!! Hurry up you slackers! I'm not paying you to stand around, am I?!" Lilly, the daughter of the president of Tinto, shouted like a banshee, piercing Percivals train of thought, and he cringed.
'Oh dear goddess no...don't let her spot me...please don't let her...'
"Hi Percy!!!!!"
'Dammit! Just turn around and walk away...'
"Peeeerrrrccccyyyy!!!! Where are you going?! I order you to come over here right this instance!!!"
"He doesn't work for you, lucky bastard, so he doesn't have to listen to you." Samus muttered irritably under his breath.
"Did you say something?!" Samus winced at her voice.
"No, milady, of course not."
"Didn't think so."
"What do you want Lilly?" Percival said slowly. 'I know I'm going to regret this, but if I don't play along, it'll be much worse.'
"Well, I want you to take me to Iksay. I'd like to see it, and I heard that you're from there." She said, smiling ever so sweetly.
"Okay, but tomorrow. I was up all last night chasing Borus and Nash, and I'm sleepy."
"Thank you so much! You won't regret this, I promise!" Lilly grabbed Samus and Reed and began to run off.
'She's sort of cute when she's not screaming...wait, did I just think that Lilly's cute? Uh-oh...it couldn't be...I can't have a crush on her! I guess that Cupid is staying here for vacation.' Percival sighed. 'I wonder if she likes me too. Maybe I'll ask her tomorrow.'
"Percy, what's the matter?" Borus asked sneaking up behind him.
"Whoa! Don't do that Borus!" Percival jumped about 2 feet in the air, with all that armor on suprisingly, at hearing Borus.
"Now you know how I feel. You do that to me all the time. So, what's the matter."
"If I tell you, will you swear on your honor as a knight not to tell anyone else?"
"Of course! I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Well...you see, I think I may just have a crush on...Lilly." Percival whispered into Borus' ears.
"WHHHHHAAAATTTTT?!" Borus yelled at the top of his lungs, scaring and annoying everyone in the area.
"Shhh! Remember, you promised." Percival said quietly, while putting a hand over Borus' mouth.
"Mphfff mpf." Percival quickly took his hands off his best friend's mouth. "I was saying...I won't tell. But, I'm still in shock."
"Thanks Borus! I'm going to get some sleep now. And I don't want you or Nash chasing Hugo, and don't chase Nash either!"
"I would never do that!" Borus mock gasped in fake offense.
"You've been hanging around me way too long."
"So I've been told." (Luc's POV)
'I can't believe that I cried...I hope that no one saw that. But, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched. What's wrong with me? This has never happened before.' Luc sighed. 'I can't believe that I'm living here.'
after the fight with Luc
Everything was blurry. He couldn't see well and voices were all around him. He couldn't make any of them out, but they were coming from some shapes above him. 'No...I was so close...it can't end...' He was laying on the ground, his breaths were becoming shorter. 'If I die...then someone else will be cursed with my rune...I can't let this go on!' The blurry shapes abouve him, were distinguishable now. "I...can't....die....I....have....to.......b..re...ak....the....cycle..." He said almost silently.
"Break the cycle? What cycle?" Asked a young man. He was tanned with turquise eyes, and his hair was blonde tipped with black. "I don't understand it."
"Every....great....war....has....True....Runes....behind....it....I....wante d....to....stop...that...." Luc said. His breaths were shortening quickly.
"You did this for the greater good?!" The youth said in suprise. "If that's the case, you deserve to live! Chris...could you heal him?"
"Yes, but are you sure?" A young woman with silver hair and lavender eyes asked responded slowly.
"Positive."
"Okay...True Water Rune..." A light shot from her hand and relief swept through the True Wind Rune's bearer. His eyes started to close. But, he managed a single word before everything went black.
"Why?"
end flashback
Luc sighed again. 'My question was never answered...I better get back to the room. Sarah must be worried sick.' Luc began to walk briskly back to the room while pondering hiw question silently in his head.
Updated! There, that explains how Luc is living. See? I said it'd be explained, and it was! Percival/Lilly working on it. Dios/Yuimi still have to do research on the two...It took me forever to find the time to type this! Anyways, suggest couples and don't forget to R&R!
