"Crystal? Crystal?!" I heard someone calling my name. When I opened my eyes, I was laying on the ground, my hands still had the blood on them. I sat up. Everything around me looked like ruins. I could barely see Rose and the others. They looked like they were looking for me. I stared at my hands.
'How did I get blood on my hands?' I now could remember everything that happened earlier except for the blood and why this place looked like this.
"Crystal!!" Lloyd ran over to me. "Are you okay?"
"Y...yeah. What happened?" I looked up at his worried eyes.
"You don't know? Rose?" He looked over at Rose. She walked over.
"So you finally found her." Rose looked a bit ticked off.
"What happened here?" I asked her.
"You passed out when that Dragon attacked you so we took you to rest in the hotel. We heard a scream a few hours later and then a few minutes later, the place blew up." She explained.
"But who blew up the place?" I asked.
"You." Rose turned around and walked off.
"Me? How could I do THIS? Lloyd? Lloyd? Answer me." I looked at him. He just stayed quiet.
"Rose thinks the Dragon had something to do with this. She wanted to explain it whenever we found you and if you were alive." Lloyd helped me up. "Come on. The others are worried." I followed Lloyd to the group. Everyone looked at me.
"Are you okay?" Lavitz asked me.
"Yeah." I sat down on a rock.
"So how did those Humans get a Dragon?" Albert asked Rose.
"That Dragon is the Dragon of the Dead. It was summoned by a Dragoon." She explained.
"But none of us summoned it." Dart crossed his arms across his chest.
"Exactly." Rose took out her Dark Dragoon spirit. "The Dragoon of the Dead."
"There's a such Dragoon?" Albert asked.
"Yes." Rose leaned up against a tree. "The Dragoon of the Dead was supposed to help us fight in the Dragon Campaign, but he took too much pride in his powers. He was able to summon the dead. He refused to fight. With us that is. He sold us out. We were lucky that we won that Campaign because he told Melbu everything that we had planned. Our plan was simple, make it to the final battle, with everyone, and kill Melbu. But he ruined our plan. He helped kill everyone until there was just two left. That's when Zieg decided to attack Melbu." Zieg kept quiet. "Hajeri was his name."
"I remember that traitor." Zieg muttered. "Diaz gave him that Dragoon spirit because he had agreed to help. He lied."
"What happened to him after the Campaign?" I asked out of curiosity.
"I don't know. I was hoping that he died with the explosion. But obviously he didn't or else that Dragon belonged to a different Dragoon of the Dead." Rose closed her eyes. Everyone kept quiet.
"It's getting late. Crystal, I need to talk to you alone." Rose grabbed my wrist and dragged me a few yards away from the group.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"You're in trouble."
"Now what? People have tried to kidnap me, and I've almost DIED a few times, what can be worse than that?" I put my hands on my hips.
"The Dragon. It disappeared after it hit you. The Dragon brings back memories that people have lost and it activated that power when it hit you. But it can only be activated when it goes INSIDE you." Rose explained.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I'm beginning to think the Dragon is still inside of you. Have you had any strange dreams, like when you were knocked out?"
"Uh....no. I haven't." I lied.
"Well, something must've scared you enough to blow the hotel up." Rose stared at me.
"Um.........I didn't. OKAY? I.....I don't know HOW I blew up the hotel." I closed my eyes. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Then explain that blood on your hands?" Rose pointed to my bloody hands.
"I......my head was hit when that guy-" I quickly shut my mouth. Rose didn't know about that either and I really didn't want her to be on my case anymore than she was now.
"What 'guy'?" She asked.
"Nothing. I hit my head on a rock earlier and I strolled off to a town to get some healing potions before I died. Okay? I didn't want to wake you all up because I thought I'd be back before anyone woke up. I guess I got a bit lost." I hoped that she believed me.
"Fine then. I'll go with that lie. For now anyway. You'll have to tell me sometime." Rose looked pleased with herself as she walked back towards the group.
'Yeah. That's what YOU think. I ain't tellin' ya.' I slowly walked towards Lloyd and pulled on the back of his shirt.
"Yeah?" He turned around to face me.
"We need to talk. NOW." I waited for him to stand so I could drag him away. When we were away from the group, I looked up at him.
"You knew, didn't you?" I started tapping my foot. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Tell you what? I don't know what you're talking about." Lloyd seemed to be a bit nervous.
"Your sister. Her name was Crystal, wasn't it?" I stared at him.
"Maybe." Lloyd crossed his arms across his chest.
"Tell me the truth, Lloyd. Your mother's name was Zandreath and your father's name was Dolen. Am I right?" Lloyd stayed silent. "ANSWER ME, LLOYD!!"
"You're right." Lloyd closed his eyes and reopened them. "How'd you find out?"
"I was hoping that I would find out by my own brother! But no, I had to find out by a stupid dream when I blacked out!!" I rubbed the back of my neck trying to control my temper. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I....I wanted to wait until the right time. I was hoping that I'd be able to tell you when we were in Ulara, but I was never sure if you WERE my sister." Lloyd looked back at the others who were watching because of my sudden outburst. "Listen, I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, but I didn't know how to tell you."
"Whatever." I stomped off towards the group when I fell to the ground. Lloyd ran over to me.
"What's wrong?" He helped me stand.
"I...I don't know." Everything started to become blurry. I shook my head trying to regain my vision. 'What's happening to me?' I started to feel weak. That's when I saw something. That clear Dragon. "What do you want with me?" I asked the Dragon, knowing that it wouldn't answer.
"What?" Lloyd seemed confused.
"The...the Dragon." I continued to shake my head.
"I knew it." Rose drew her rapier. "Draw your weapons." Everyone obeyed.
"They are your enemy, child. You cannot trust them." The Dragon told me.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" I pushed Lloyd out of my way as an energy ball formed in my hand. "LEAVE ME ALONE NOW!!" I threw the energy ball at the Dragon. What I didn't know was that the Dragon was only in my head and I had attacked Rose. She blocked with her rapier. My eyes were wide. The Dragon started to flicker and Rose stood in its place. Then the Dragon reappeared.
"You can't hit me. Your 'friends' will hurt you. You need to eliminate them before they try to kill you." The Dragon glared at me.
"No. That can't be true. I won't believe you. I can't." I looked up at the Dragon.
"But I'm afraid you don't have that choice anymore." The Dragon told me. It was like the Dragon had taken over my body.
"Get ready to protect yourselves." Rose steadied the rapier in her hand. A blue energy ball appeared in between my hands.
"Die you filthy Humans!" A voice came from my mouth but I knew it wasn't me. That Dragon had taken complete control of my body. I flung the energy ball towards Rose. "BAJIRO RASHIKA!!" Rose tried to block the blast with her sword but it didn't work. My body flew up in the sky as the energy ball exploded. I had an evil look on my face. All I could do was watch in horror as the Dragon continued to throw energy blasts at the others. I couldn't do anything to stop it, and I was the one causing all of this.
"I told you, child, that you had no choice." The Dragon told me in my head.
"Why? Why are you doing this?" I wanted the Dragon out of my mind.
"Because I do what I am told to do. Now I am in control of this body, and you can't stop me." The Dragon's voice sounded a bit on the evil side. "Now I have the power to destroy every living creature on this pitiful planet."
"No. I don't have that much power." I knew that the Dragon's plan would never work because I truly didn't have THAT much power.
"Oh yes you do. Now that those Dragoons are out of the way, I will rule the world with my master. Oh don't worry. You'll gain control of your body. Sometime in the future." The Dragon sounded really pleased with itself. "And all you can do is watch in horror and hear the screaming of pain." I knew the world was in danger. But the Dragon was wrong. There was SOMETHING that I could do. There were consequences of course. I didn't know those consequences though. They would be chosen by Soa herself. So I didn't know what they were going to be. I had to take that chance though. For the sake of the world, I just had to.
Getting interesting? You'll just have to wait for the next chapter. Hopefully it'll be out soon. Hope ya liked it.
