* Surprise! Didn't think that there would be another chapter waiting, huh?
Well, here you all go! *
Chapter 38
Knight of the Earth Queen
A dream of a previous encounter appeared in his quiescent mind.
Through the Centra plains, a furious howling wind drenched the young man, walking away from his burned town and family. Monsters had attacked and they were helpless, yet he was lucky to survive. The grasses whipped his bare legs, inciting several small scratches that bled slowly. As he plodded through the muddy earth, he cried for the loss of his family, fiancé and friends and even his cat, Sue. The thunderstorm churned with every step he took, booming their voices across the landscape and striking any tree to its own liking. After walking on end, he fell underneath a tree near a forest while a slight drizzle fell on him. He was about to fall asleep, when he saw a reddish light appear in the meadow before him. He found the energy to stand up and walk over to the light. His fingers touched the surface of its illuminating and warm aura. He didn't see the creature that stood within it, but when he did he gasped. : Don't be afraid, I have come to help you. :
"How do I know that you're telling the truth?" The young man asked. He surveyed his visitor with suspicion. He was covered in a red half shredded cape. His eyes glowed an eerie color of rubies...his face disguised by darkness and shadows. Not even the occasional lightning could not define this person's features, let alone reveal his face. "Who are you?" the man suddenly asked.
: I am the Guardian Force, Gilgamesh. I have come to bestow upon you a great burden. :
"What burden? I already have a burden that I shall carry for the rest of my life! I don't need any more!" he shouted, his voice pained with the memories. He had run away from the monsters attack and he felt like a coward. The GF threw a blade at the man's feet, which he in return jumped at the feign attack. Once he got over that surprise he slowly walked over to the dark object. Lightning once again illuminated his vision and the weapon shined in brilliant colors. "What is this?"
: Your weapon, Zantazuken. It belonged to a great legendary GF warrior; he died in the last war against the sorceress. Now it's your turn to carry that burden. : Gilgamesh explained. "But I'm only a human, not like one of you!"
: Sir Devon, believe in yourself. You have been chosen ever since you were born, to carry on this glory throughout history. Now I shall leave you Sir Devon, to find the GF, Lady Botanik. She shall help you from there on. : Then Gilgamesh disappeared.
Sir Devon awoke in his alcove, drenched with his own sweat. That exact dream happened several months ago. After finding the GF, which had chosen him, she had been in his mind, talking to him, giving advice and knowledge. When he first laid eyes on her, even though it was impossible, he had fallen in love with the green lady. He remembered that day clearly.
He had been traveling the Centran continent for months and he was trudging through the scorching deserts of Cacatuar. He was already three days out of water and was exhausted. It was then when he thought his mind was playing tricks on him when he saw a small oasis. He had managed to walk into the emerald Eden, when he saw a pond, so clear that it could rival the azure sky. After swallowing some of the water, he had suddenly seen flashes of his family, fiancé, and friends on the surface of the rippling pool. Yet when those images vanished as his fingertips brushed the facade, his own tears fell into the warping imagery.
"Such a shame for a mortal as you to loose those you loved most." A sweet voice said. He quickly jumped up and sat back as he saw a cyan beauty before him. She sat on a sturdy leaf, watching him with her lavender red eyes. Her emerald hair was put up in a ponytail, playfully splayed around her shoulders. Her jade body was tattooed with black vines and leaves, curling around every smooth curve of her body. She wore silk on her legs, a lavender cloth from her knee to her toes. "Are you the Guardian Force, Botanik?" he managed to say. "Yes. I have been waiting so long for you, Sir Devon." She yawned, "Junction me now, so that I can teach you the wisdom of the earth realm." "How?" he stammered. : Easy.just call my name chosen one. : It was like somebody clicked on a light switch within his brain and he knew the answer. He spoke her name and she dissipated into an emerald sphere. She then merged together with her knight.
Devon smiled as he sat up in the early morning. His lady slept beside him peacefully, and though his love for her was against the law of the Gods, he didn't care. He was her knight now and forever. He brushed some of her green hair away from her face and she smiled in her dreams. After a few months with her, she had suddenly started to call him Odin, but he was on his way there, almost filling the knightly boots of the greatest warrior, Odin. Soon, after his greatest test he would join the guardian ranks. "Love? What bothers you so?" the green lady inquired dreamily. "Nothing, just thinking about us and the future." He answered. He grasped her hand gently and she squeezed his back. "It's not good to dwell on the future too much. It leads to insanity." she ended. "True." "Let's go back to bed, later on today we shall have visitors that we shall accompany to meet the new war." Sir Devon nodded and lay back embracing his immortal lady. * * *
* HeeHee.a new character! And who would have guessed that he is a lover to a GF??? Gets interesting doesn't it? Anyways, R/R!!! ^^ *
