Disclaimer: Yes...even after all this time I STIL do not own Star Ocean the Second Story...I'll offer Enix a these magic beans for the rights to Star Ocean!
Authors note: Wellllllllllllllllllllllll...here it is again. Sorry for the wait...things have been busy here. Thanks to *deep breath* Vampric Angel Siren Valkrie, Cloud Tribal, Mitochondria Eve, lord Gaerdin, Unknown Dragon, Kawaii Mimi-Chan, and last but not least Janus Ashtear *exhales*. Now that's over with...on with the story
Ashton staggered back. He could hardly believe what was happening. The dragons? Killing him? Now? How was it possible? He slumped into a nearby chair and stared into space. Rena sat, mouth open in shock. Celine quickly read the page again then dropped it.
"How...how is it possible? WHAT IS IT!?" yelled Ashton.
"Oh dear...the dragons...it says that after awhile the strain on the body of carrying the dragons becomes too much. Once that happens they destroy the body and return to their original state...that is until someone else becomes possessed." Answered Celine quietly.
There was along period of silence afterwards. Everyone hung his or her head and Rena and Celine both avoided looking at Ashton. After what seemed like hours, Ashton picked his head up. "Ok," he said, "How do we expel the dragons?"
Celine could hardly believe what she was hearing. It seemed like a whole different person. But...this wasn't any normal situation either.
She picked up the book and flipped through the pages of the book. "Well...let's see. There is of course trying to obtain the Tears of King again...but that seems like a bit of a stretch...what's this...?" she asked as she hurriedly turned the pages. Ashton looked at her hopefully.
"It says here that there IS another way!" she said almost laughing with joy. "Look! Look darling here it is! See that? It's called the Crystal Dragon Relic! It says here that if you use the relic where the site of the possession took place the dragons will be sealed within it! This just might save your life! What do you think?" she asked, ecstatic with joy.
Ashton frowned. "I was hoping that Gyoro and Ururun would be spared..." he said calmly.
Celine turned angry quite quickly. " How can you say that!? Do you think they care whether or not you die! Ashton...if you don't this then you'll die! If you die then you might inflict this same horror on someone else!"
Rena finally spoke up. "I can't say that I don't agree with him...I mean they are living creatures...but then again....Celine also has a point, Ashton. I think that it may be best to listen to her suggestion." She said looking at Ashton for agreement.
Ashton stood up. He thought for a while about the best plan of action. Finally he looked at Celine. "Where is this relic," he said with a heavy heart.
The next day Ashton, Celine, and Rena stood in the Herlie port. Celine looked out to sea. "Well...it says that we need to go to the Hoffman Ruins...I never saw it there before so hopefully this isn't a fake," said Celine impatiently.
Rena looked at Ashton. "Come on...cheer up! You'll finally be free of the dragons! Isn't that what you wanted?"
Ashton looked at to sea also. "I guess...you know...you're right! This will finally rid me of this curse! And I'll save others from it as well! Look! There's the boat! Let's go!"
