Disclaimer: I only own Ando, Sugano, Hikeru, and the NAME Falceon.
Claude { This man wants me? For what?
"Yes. He is here." Rena answered.
"Great. May I speak to him?"
"Um, sure." Rena showed the man in. He seemed different somehow. He looked about twenty-one. He had a sword on his back, and wore what looked like a blue cape that completely covered his arms. He had black pants and boots. His hair was dark blue with two gold streaks in his bangs. That's when it hit me; he had ears like a Nedian.
"Good day, my name is Ando Sarion." He said. As Ando's eye's fell on Noel and Rena they widened slightly. "Are, you Nedian?" Ando asked.
"Yes. We are." Noel responded. "I thought all the Nedian's had died." Ando said.
"Wait." I said. "What about you?" Ando looked at me. "I am as well." He sounded casual. "But, didn't you go with Nede?" Rena asked. "I wasn't on Nede when it blew up." Wait a minute. Narl said all Nedian's would die no matter what. "How did you know Nede blew up?" I asked. "Well, it's difficult to explain." Ando said with a hint of depression. "Anyway, why do you want me?" Ando seemed to be upset about something. "Oh. Yes, well, the king of Lacour wanted me to come and find you and your friends." Yeah. These things always happen after we all split up. "Oh boy. Lets journey across Expel, once again to find everyone." I said sarcastically. "Well, hang on. You said their throughout Expel?" Ando asked. "Don't worry about that. I would say four would be enough." I sighed. At least we didn't have to go everywhere.
"Wait. Why does the king want us?" Rena asked. Ando sighed. It must be bad, whatever it is. "Long story. Alright, it started with these threats Lacour castle received numerous times that were threatening to destroy Lacour. Many thought it was a bluff, but soon a strong army attacked Lacour. The castle was the only structure still standing. The front line was overwhelmed by the power. Many fell badly wounded, others died. The king had only one choice left. And that was to summon your friends and you to help defeat the monsters." Wow. It this is a tragic story.
"Do you know who this man is?" Noel asked. "The one threatening?" Ando asked. Noel nodded. "Yes, I do, kinda." Ando said. "He has what looks like feathers all around his neck, and he's taller than usual. He has a scythe, and a horn coming out his back. His name is Falceon."
My heart felt like it stopped. This man, Falceon, was the exact same one as in my dream. "Uuuh. Ando." I said, starting to fell dizzy. "Yes?" He looked at me. "I, uh, sorta, had a dream about this same person." Ando's face went pale. "How, did it, go?" I sighed. I began to tell him everything. When I finished, Ando looked to his side. He seemed to be looking for words.
"Y-you do know that's bad right?" He said. Bad? It didn't occur to me a dream could be bad. "Uh, no." I replied dully. "Well, it's probably the worst thing he could do right now." Ando said. "How?" I asked. "If you face him, the pain you felt in your dream could come back to you." Ando explained. "Thus, leaving Falceon able to make you do his biding." Peachy, just peachy. "What about Dias, and Leon? Are they alright?" Rena asked. Opps, I forgot about them. "Oh, them?" Ando said "Don't worry, their fine. Ashton and Precis are there to." Oh that's good. So we can go strait to Lacour, I hope.
"Lacour wants our help right?" I stood up. I can't stand this anymore. "But, Claude. What about the dream?" Rena asked. I looked at her. "I'll make sure that doesn't happen." Ando looked down. "Easier said than done." Whats with him now? "What, are you just gonna give up so soon? At least we can try." I said. "Your right. It never hurts to try." Ando, lightened up.
"Lets get started tomorrow." Noel suggested. We all agreed. I decided to go to the forest to practice my sword skills. I'd fallen behind a little. I grabbed my sword and headed for the forest. I went deep in the ocean of trees and picked a spot where there weren't many trees. I drew my sword and did Mirror Slice. I was just as good as I had been before. After a while I began to feel a new power within me. I tried to concentrate on it, but I couldn't tell what it was. I toyed with my sword, hoping I would stumble upon the power. I failed. Probably cuz I'm tired. I sat beneath a large tree and laid my sword next to me. I saw someone out of the corner of my eye. I looked up to find Rena stepping from behind a tree.
"You've been working haven't you?" she said as if she were trying to impress me. "Heh, not really." I said. She giggled a little and sat next to me. "I was wondering if." she began. "What?" I asked. "If you think we'll make it through this." Huh? She sounds like she's positive all hope is lost. "Why do you say that?" Rena paused for a moment. "It's not that, it's just that, the battle with Cyril, well, we struggled a bit." I thought a moment. She's right.
(Flash back)
We walked in the room. There was a man standing In front of us. Our next victim.
"Well, your rather late aren't you." Cyril said coldly.
"Shut up. Better late than never." Precis shouted. I pulled out my sword.
"We will defeat you just the others." I said coolly. "Well you seem to want something. If you join us you could have anything you want, money, statues.
"No way we'll ever join you!" I shouted. "Well, perhaps you want death after all." Cyril laughed and shot a beam at me. It hit me and I went fling backwards. Only stunned by the shot, I stood up. All the fighters charged in, the mages casted spells.
[7 min. of fighting(I would tell you but I don't have time)
"WEAKLINGS!" Cyril shouted. He shot a more powerful blast at me. I was once again sent flying into the wall. Rena ran my way and canted a healing spell.
"Are you alright?" She asked me. I nodded and ran into the fray. Later in the battle Cyril decided to change his target. He shot a beam past all the fighters and toward the one person I would least expect. Rena. I ran her way and shouted her name. She didn't react to what I was doing. At the last second she looked at me as I knocked her out of the way and faced the blast head on. It hit me extremely hard, but I didn't move. Everyone stared. I sank to my knees as everything began to spin.
"Claude!" Rena shouted. I fell to the ground, motionless.
(end)
"Oh, yeah." I said. Rena leaned against my shoulder and put her hand on my arm. "You almost didn't make it." She has a point. "But that was my choice. I didn't want to see you get hurt." She shifted a little and took my hand. I knew how she felt about me, and I felt the same. It was getting dark out. Now I could understand why Rena loved this place. It was beautiful at night, and when the sun sat. "We better be heading back." I said. Rena agreed and we stood up and walked home. We went to bed when we got there to rest for the next day.
