Chapter 14: Hi, I'm Fate
Hi ya! How ya doin'? I'm so very happy that you've stayed reading this long. PLOT!! yep! I've got it! Now anyway! And its confusing and weird, but you have to know if the creator of the game didn't leave some space for imagination, then where would us Fan Fiction authors be? Right, another man's mistake is our identity! ((So that must mean they need to make a sequel right? Or a prequel. I don't care. I just want something))

I threw open the doors to the last Tavern in town that was legal. And walked out. Nothing. Nadda. I was alone. Yeah. We'd find out more if we split up. Ella was the princess so naturally, she'd need an escort. I shoved my hands and folded my arms. What time was it, eh? I looked up to see the Moon that Never Sets.((should I capitalize all that?)) I felt moody. I had eagerly taken downtown Lohan, but man, I never expected it to be this bad. The men tried to grab my ass over and over and if a couple of bar fights ended with a mysterious young woman with black hair winning and the rest of the bar castrated, well, I didn't know what happened. . .
I walked through the alleys and back roads. I knocked on doors and tried to get into clubs. Jeeze, these people were up tight! I walked past some dark men on the corner and saw a crack in the wall. I was quite curious to find out why that crack had light and noise coming from it. But at the same time, wondering why those men were following me. So as I checked out the large crack I started to talk to them
"Look, I'm not in a good mood right now, so I suggest you leave me the hell alone!" I said, turning and unsheathing my sword. One of them came up to me.
"You're that woman, the boss told us about. The Rose chick." he said. Was it the man in the cape at Hellena prison? I started to get into a fighting position. If they knew where he was, I wanted one of them alive. I knew that man was in cahoots with the Armageddon deal. They laughed and shook their heads.
I growled and started to attack. I hit the hilt to their stomachs and tried only to stun them. But damn, they were a lot harder to stun than in the movie Princess Mononoke! I started to kick their heads and elbow them. They didn't really put up a fight. I scratched my head and picked on of them up.
"Who's your leader?" I asked them
"Aron, he requested for you to shown toi his meeting hall." he told me. You know the faces in the anime where they're in shock. Here's mine((00;)). I laughed innocently as the men stared at me with rage. I laughed and told them to lead the way.
I followed them into the 'meeting hall' which was filled with dancers that were scantily clad and several women hanging off of men. If I hadn't been a dragoon with sharp eyes, then I would have never noticed how they were stealing the money from the drunk old men. I looked up to the ceiling and saw gold plated dome with a painting on it. The dragons were lining the outer ring and in the center, I noticed were the first generation dragoons. I was shocked to find this but what shocked me even more was the pinch on my ass. Immediately I had my sword in my hand and it was directed at the culprit. My Dragon eyes become even more demonic. The man jerked back at the sight. And the men who had been beaten earlier. Shrunk in the distance. Away from the crazy woman with the sword. Good Idea.
"You listen here, you damn bastard, if you ever lay another hand on me anywhere that I don't like, I will make sure you never have any offspring, you got it?!" I said, in a decently loud and deadly whisper. Or hiss. Either one. I had been grabbed on my rear one too many times, and I wans't about to allow it any more. I heard Aron's laughter in the distance. And turned to meet him.
"Hello, Rose dear, I see you've made it! I'm sorry I had to leave, but I needed to tell my family that I was leaving them in a short while. Come on, and sit down." he said. I nodded and sheathed my sword. Aron sure was looking chummy sitting with the women that drooled over his every command. I sighed and sat in front of him. He shooed one of the women away to get some food.
"I know you're hungry, Rose, so I hope you don't mind some of our best. It's not the castle's gourmet, but we enjoy it." he said.
"Thanks."
"So what brings you to Lohan? Re-stocking your supplies?" he asked.
"No, the need for information. And you, Aron." I said, lounging in the deep cushion of the couch. I don't know what you would call it. It was like a circle but it had a break on one side that allowed people to get in and out. I leaned my head back.
"Where are the other two?" Aron asked.
"Together. Looking for information. With each other." I replied. He handed me a goblet of wine. A gold one with rubies along the edge. In it was the deep red wine. I tasted it and nade a face. It was bitter sweet. I will tell you that much. He smiled and set the goblet on the table.
"Information, darling? About what I might ask. About what Shirley said?" Aron asked. I nodded. "My bandits have gathered quite a lot of information. Especially on the black Castle of Kazas. And the Sandora Army." He said, sipping from his own goblet. I watched him slowly swallow it before asking my question.
"And what exactly is the information?" I asked.
"The army is mostly made up of created soldiers. Man created. They would get the corpses from long battles and use electricity to open this portal to the underworld. And get angry souls to fill and command the bodies. Souls are recyclable. As are the created warriors." he told me. A large plate with assortments of food was placed on the table. My stomach growled. "Go ahead." he said. I nodded my thanks as I dug in. I was hungry! At Shirley's Temple, I felt no need for food, but now, I felt my life depended ion having it.
"But," I said between swallowing and chewing,"that would take a whole hell of a lot of electricity! Where did they get this kind of lightening bolt, eh?"
"This is the interesting part. I heard along time ago, the Emperor Doel was the Dragoon of lightening. The Violet Dragoon."
"But he was killed and it passed on to Haschel, the Sensei to the Rogue martial arts. . ." I stopped chewing for a moment as Aron held a satisfied grin. "He's older now. I doubt he could take it."
"He can't. That is the man who has been supplying the lightening around Kazas. And I think he's dying from it. My men got out of there alive, but they were disgusted with what was going on. But they're my men. And look what they dug up." Aron said, beaming with pride. I stood up, angry. My body was aflame with anger.
"How dare they treat him like that! How dare they?!" I said. "Why is he doping this?!" I asked, outraged.
"His hometown, Rogue, is being held under martial law by the Sandora Army. It'll be made a domain if he does not comply. That and all of the people will be burned with the town." Aron said, no longer smiling, but looking up to me with serious consideration of what was happening.
"I can't stand this! Why would someone do this to innocent people?" I asked. My heart was feeling angered and outraged.
"Rose, don't lose your heart . . ."
"As long as I have you Zeig I won't ever lose my heart."
"My love, we are the protectors of this world. No more innocent people should die."
"No, I don't want that to ever happen."
My fists were clenched. "I am heading for that castle. My goal is to free that man and his village. It would be best if you came, but you can make your own decision. I know who the leader of the Army is. And I will confront him alone. Whether you come or not makes no real difference to me." I said. I felt a lot of people gaze at me before I made it to the door.
"Rose!" he yelled. I didn't turn."I'm coming with you. I can't let a wonderful person such as yourself go alone, now can I?" He said. He jumped down and ordered his men to get his things ready for a battle. Some of them nodded and went into a room in the back. Others went outside. I smiled to myself. Good.
"I'm leaving at dawn," I said. "Make sure you're with em then. I'm going back to the inn."
- - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I sighed as I made it to the inn and laid on the bed. Ella was asleep in the bed next to mine. I looked up to the ceiling and waited. Waited for what? I wondered as I turned.
I waited for the sleep to come and my dreams to remind me of Rose and her life before she was turned into the black monster. I closed my eyes and huffed in anger. I got the diary out and went outside into the moonlight. I started to read the passage somewhere near the middle. I wasn't patient any more.
??? month. ??? day. On Endiness for about four months.
Zeig has enrolled into the army. Charle is as kind as ever, even though her brother, Melbu, has been rather prejudice around humans. And he's been rallying the Winglies for some strange reason. Whenever Zeig and his family go to visit Charle, Melbu looks at them with contempt. I start to wonder what Melbu Framuh is planning. Because like my grandpa always said, "The snake is silent and still before its most lethal strike." he was usually talking about my father. I can't bear the weight of what I've done any longer. My siblings were killed and I killed their murderer. That was the night I went up into his study and picked up the book. When I came to Endiness.
I stopped reading and felt my anger throb at my temples. I placed my head on the railing and looked to the moon. And someone laid their hand on my shoulder. I turned and held my dagger to their throat and found that it was Zeek.
"I'm sorry." I said. He smiled and shook his head. He looked up to the moon and watched it as I was.
"Dawn is when I leave for Kazas. An innocent man is dying. I have no choice but to save him. I can't stand someone dying for no reason. Haschel will not die at that castle." I whispered. Zeek grabbed my shoulders.
"Haschel?!" he asked. "He's my great grandfather!"
I took in a deep breath before I told him everything that Aron had told me. He was filled with rage as well.
"I suppose you'll be coming with me, right?" I asked.
"Of course I will. Ella will go more than likely." He said. He was gripping the railing. I covered his hand with mine. And he let our fingers lace together. I didn't look at him, but at the moon. I could feel a change between both Zeek and I as we stared at the moon.
Fate was knocking at my door. All I had to do was open up and say Hello.

And thus begins one of the most serious chapters. And more than likely two. Or three. Hell, I don't know. But It's gonna be one where you'll find out about Mary Rose as well as the Real Rose. Thanks for reading this chapter. It's foreshadowing the next few, if you're wondering, so yeah! Review now, please, if you don't mind. Thanks!
