Chrono Cross ~ The Waves of Time
Part 2
The atmosphere around them appeared to be quite dreary. Leena, Serge, and the girl name Schala, the very girl that Serge remembered seeing before merged with Lavos, were all in a new time period. They weren't on Opassa beach anymore. In fact they were in a castle. The sight that came to them was quite bizarre and frightening. Although the guards now surrounding them were quite frightening indeed but it was a certain guard, or perhaps even a guardian that was among them which frightened and confused them a bit.
"A frog? Are my eyes deceiving me?"
The guardian leapt over to them in a frog-like fashion, in the centre of the circle of guards. It was shocking to see a Frog with a sword guarding the premises of the castle. Yet Serge was familiar with seeing oddly formed beings. Remembering back to the old days on his previous journey will all the strange characters that aided him. Fairies, a mushroom head guy, even a goblin. Seeing a frog-human shouldn't be anything to him but it was because he wasn't on any journeys for a long time and was used to his small village of Arni, the water, and the fish he would catch every day or every other day.
"Yes. My name is Glenn. *Ribbit* What is your business here at Guardia
Castle? Are you here to see Queen Leene?"
Serge didn't know what to say. He was confused. They definitely must've went to the wrong place in time. He had expected them to end up on the same beach but in the year of 600AD or a land that wasn't surrounded by walls, at least not a castle for that matter. Guardia Castle? Glenn? Queen Leene? Where did Schala take them? He was about to speak their apologies but instead Schala beat his voice to come out with a reply to the frog name Glenn.
"Yes, Sir. Sorry for the trespassing, perhaps a suggestion for these guards are to train on securing this beautiful castle better so that no more of these break ins will take place. Hmm? So if we may, please take us to Queen
Leene. We need to talk to her about...Magus."
After these words this sparked up the Frog Guardian, especially with the mention of the powerful sorcerer's name that triggered Glenn's memory of that fateful day when Magus cursed his body to transform into the frog body he is sheltered in now. Perhaps these people were here to put an end to Magus' chaos once and for all. He sure hoped this was true. If they were here to fight him Glenn would assist them all the way through.
He allowed them to go see the Queen, excusing the trespassing they had done within the Castle, believing that their reason of being here must be very important.
Once they had reached the throne room in which Queen Leene accepted to have an assembly with them. They approached her and stopped at the bottom of the steps to the throne and gave a bow to show their respect. She told them to arise and started getting into the discussion about Magus and why they were here for him. Schala was the one to do all the talking as she responded to the queen formally.
"Your Highness. Magus is my Brother Janus. I am obligated to stop his chaos in this world has the rumours had spread out to me that he was destroying homes and lives and manipulating monsters and transforming humans to other creatures, such as your Royal Guardian into a Frog. We are here to put a stop to him and I would like to take him back home with me. All we need are
his whereabouts."
Queen Leene gave them a nod and was pleased to see that heroes had risen to stop Magus, yet the heroine was his own sister. Would Magus listen and stop his evil with his sister's orders. She gave them the whereabouts of Magus' lair but before Schala, Serge, and Leena were dismissed and left Schala had one request.
"If you'll excuse me your majesty, I have but one request that I wish to be
granted once we stop Magus' malevolence. This is my friend Serge, his appearance is that of the same that could be imagined with my brother Janus if his face wasn't warped into evil and if he was at a teenage age right now. Serge is seeking for a girl that goes by the name of Kid. Along with the finding out that Magus was here I also had the sense over the flow of
the air that drifted around me that she was around here somewhere. With
your permission we would like to look around your Kingdom for her..."
The Queen hesitated for a merely a moment and then began to speak but stopped once again. Her thoughts wondered,
"Could that be the little girl the Guards found yesterday...? I wonder..."
Queen Leene didn't know how to reply to this request. She simply replied in a fair tone so that everyone will get their own way.
"Stop Magus first and we'll search out for your friend, Kid. Give us her
descriptions and when you report back here afterwards, if you survive,
we'll give you our status on her findings. My Royal Guardian Frog will assist you. I believe he wanted to pay back Magus for his curse, or destroy
him to break his curse. I know Magus, or Janus as you call him is your brother, but for the sake of our Kingdom and Frog's hatred, please stop him
with whatever means possible. Good luck all of you."
As they gave another bow before they left the Queen's sight, walking down the steps from the throne room they spotted the Frog Guardian awaiting them at the entrance of the Castle. His sword was equipped in his scabbard and he was ready to set out on the journey to fight Magus. Schala had told Glenn, also known as Frog because of his frog body, to stay behind and guard this castle. They weren't going to the location of Magus' lair.
"We are going back to your world and time period Serge."
Serge was beyond confused at this statement. Was Schala confused and just drawn to his world and time. What good would going back to his home do for them in finding her brother. Her brother was here, not there.
"...but why? He's here so why must we go back..."
Schala was prepared for this question. She simply smiled and replied back to Serge with a fresh and stronger hope of gaining back her brother and Kid at the same time there than they would here.
"We have to go back. I got all the information I need here. In time I can change the course of events and it'll be quicker to get both my brother and
Kid back than it would here. You'll see once we return. It will all be
revealed Serge. I'm sorry Leena, it was nice meeting you but you must return home. You'll be transported back home while Serge will come with me
to Termina."
All that could come up out of the two is confusion and curiousity... all Schala could do is smile at them.
"Let's go..."
