The Quest
Chapter Three: Sorceress
Ferio watched the endless tunnel before them. He was sure they've walked for many hours, and according to him, they should have already gotten out of there. But he couldn't find a way out. He knew those tunnels very well, and had traveled through them a thousand times, so he couldn't really understand what was happening. He searched in his mind for shortcuts and hidden doors inside the under-tunnel, but he found nothing, and for getting things worse he was starting to feel sleepy. He looked down at him, there in the floor laid Fuu. She was very tired and Ferio offered her to sleep while he thought of a way out. At first she refuse. 'Maybe she doesn't trust me.' Thought Ferio, but found it to be very normal, after all they just met. But it somehow made him feel sad. After arguing some minutes Fuu decides to go to sleep. Ferio watched to the way they've come from and then to the way that was before them. A headache started to appear. "Some sleep will help me remember." He said while he sat on the floor and fell asleep almost immediately.
A little girl was running toward a house. She was smiling and yelling something to a man that waited patiently in the door of the house. He was smiling too, but his face couldn't be seen. The girl ran and ran faster but the house just seemed to get farther. The smile of the girl was substituted by a desperate face. It seemed she would never reach the house. And for some reason that made her feel uneasy and sad. She felt she was losing something very important and couldn't reach it. And then, it happened. The house was out of sight and a big noise filled the air. Something like an explosion. The girl stood there. And the fire reached the horizon. "Fuu!" "Run Fuu!" "Don't hurt her!" ".....Run....."
Fuu woke up in cold sweat. Tears in her eyes. That dream again. She couldn't really understand it, she didn't know that house, or the man . She couldn't remember ever being in a place like that when she was a child. But in hurt. Every time it hurt and made her feel exactly the same emotions of the girl. The pain, the desperation, it hurt very much. But she could do nothing to help it. 'Just like that girl.' She thought cleaning her face with her sleeve. "Nothing at all." She murmured. She then spotted Ferio, who was now fast asleep. She smiled and got up. 'Maybe he can't remember the way out. I just hope the guards won't catch us. I wouldn't like Ferio to be sentenced to death like me.'
She was about to sit down again when she heard a sound. It wasn't footsteps. At least not normal footsteps. It was the sound of a big creature walking. Fuu could hear the heavy breath growing nearer. She took the torch of the wall and shut it down. She then tried to wake up Ferio. She started moving him slowly, but he wouldn't wake up. She then tried calling his name very softly. Ferio opened his eyes and found himself in darkness. He was about to say something when Fuu pressed one finger on his lips. Ferio heard the sound coming form behind them. He didn't had to guess. He already knew that sound. That laze walking and the heavy breath. They had to get out of there fast.
He took her hand as she got something strange out of her skirt pocket. It was like a gem that when she pronounced some strange words, Ferio couldn't recognize, lit up. It gave a very dim light. They started walking fast. Ferio couldn't understand what was that thing doing there. They continued to walk trying no to do any noise. Fuu looked back every once in a while. She could see nothing. Ferio suddenly stopped. "I was hoping it didn't know we were here. But it seems we are not that lucky." He said as he watched nervously around them. Fuu watched him. "What is it?" Fuu asked in a whisper. "An Ughser." He said. Fuu looked at Ferio very impressed. 'What is an Ughser doing down here?' she asked herself. She knew those creatures existed though she'd never seen one in her hole life. But she liked to study very much. And knew perfectly well that they were not safe.
Fuu and Ferio tried not to move, not to breath, though they new it was in vain, for the Ughser could smell anything and once it has chosen its prey, it wouldn't let it go. Ferio became very worried because he didn't even had his sword, the guards took it along with his other weapons when he was capture. Fuu didn't seem to have a weapon either. They were in big trouble. Fuu felt Ferio becoming very tense. They could hear nothing. "The creature will appear before us any moment now." Ferio whispered to Fuu near her ear. She felt a shiver through her body. Ferio paid close attention to their surroundings. The monster could appear and attack. "Our left side?" Ferio mumbled. "In front of us?" "Or maybe ....."
Ferio took Fuu from her shoulders and pushed her to the floor just when the monster appeared behind them and slashed thin air with its big claws.
Ferio got up holding Fuu. The mosnter was in front of them looking very angry. Ferio looked around, their only chance was to run and pray the exist was near. The monster suddenly ran toward them with its big mouth open ready to smash anything on ita way. Ferio pushed Fuu to one side. The monster crashed into the wall with Ferio right down him. The monster rose his claw ready to hit Ferio. He couldn't move, anyway, all the exits were blocked. He closed his eyes. 'I'm just sorry I couldn't protect her longer.' He thought as the monster's claw got down. Ferio waited for his death when he heard Fuu's voice. "Mamori no Kaze!" Ferio felt a strong wind gathering all around him. The monster's claw was stopped by Fuu's protecting spell. It ran toward the young woman. Ferio tried to stop it by holding its purple hairy tail, but the monster was to strong. Fuu couldn't attack the monster if Ferio was there. "Get off the monster!" she yelled. Ferio let go and gust of wind cut the monster until it was unconscious.
Ferio looked at the monster then at Fuu. She hurried toward him. "We must get out before it regains its conscious." She said helping Ferio to get up. "That was cool." He told her as they started to run. She just smiled and blushed a little bit.
They ran as fats as they could. They needed to get rid of the monster or at least make it lose their tracks. Ferio had remembered a way out of that place and guided Fuu along the tunnels. They continued until they reached a wall. Fuu looked puzzled at Ferio but he smiled and pointed to the cealing. There was a door.
"We just need to get there to open it." He said searching to something to climb up. "If you push me up I may be able to open it." Fuu sail looking at the door., not really sure if she had the necessary strength to open the hatch . "Okay. I'll get you up, just put your foot on my hands." He said putting his hands together. Fuu looked at him. "J...just, don't look up. Okay?" "Oooo!" he said with a disappointed expression. He started to enjoy teasing her just to make her blush. She put he foot on his hands and grab his should to sustain and he pushed her up.
The door was stuck. It was more difficult than Fuu had thought. She pulled as hard as she could but the door would just not open. "What about some magic?" Ferio said. He was starting to get nervous. After all, the monster could appear suddenly. "It could help, but..." Fuu bit her lip. "Give it a try!" "The door will break into pieces. Is that okay?" "It's better than becoming that monster's dinner!" he was starting to get tired. His armes ached, but it wasn't Fuu's weight the cause. He suddenly felt dizzy. "HURRY!!" he said in exasperation. Fuu looked down at him. Something was wrong. "Right. Let me down." She said helping herself down. Once on the floor she cast a spell. "Midori no shippu." Ferio saw the wind came out of her and up to the door. It broke the door with ease. The pieces of wood fell and the morning sunlight entered through the hole.
"I'll go first. Then I can help you out more easily." Ferio said before jumping in a spectacular way. He got hold of the side of the trap door and pulled himself up. Once there, he offered his hand to Fuu. She jumped until she got his hand. He pulled her up. Once they were out, Fuu found themselves in a forest. She looked at Ferio, who was standing giving her his back. Ha was obviously trying to recognize the place. Fuu looked at him, she really hadn't looked at him before, only his eyes. She noticed his bard clothes, then she gasped.
"Oh my! Your hurt!" she said standing up getting close to him. His left arm was soaked in blood. Ferio looked at his arm, he didn't feel very well. In fact, he felt he could collapse any moment now, but he was determined to get Fuu to a safer place. He was about to tell her he was all right, when is strength left his legs and almost fell, for Fuu caught him. She helped him sit on the floor. Then she putted her hand over Ferio's wounded arm and cast another spell. This time, Ferio felt the breeze's touch making the pain go away. The wound disappeared and he felt strong again. He smiled at Fuu.
"Now, you are all right." She said smiling at him. "Yeah! You really are a powerful sorceress." But Fuu couldn't answer, she fainted on his arms.
