Everything seemed perfect as the rode through Tahrongi, and Buburimu. They were about to embark towards Bibiki Bay when they heard a shrill scream.
"What the 'ell..." Gleason murmured, but his question was soon answered when an inexperianced Black Mage came running towards them.
"Help Meeeeee!" The small Tarutaru demanded with a shrill scream.
"What's wrrrong little-" Elute was cut off by the sobbing pint sized adventurer.
"Leeeches!"
Both their eyes widdened with shock, and focused on the horizon. There was a enourmous cloud of dust rising over the cliffs as dozens of leeched angerly flopped towards the nearly hopeless Tarutaru.
"Get outtah 'ere, now! We will distract them for you!" Gleason instructed, already off his chocobo, and looking for his sword. Elute smirked, and mumbled something about how she knew that they would need their swords.
"Thank you" He choked out sobbing (from fear or greatfullness they did not know,) as he started to mumble a spell of warp.
Elute and Gleason immediately began to try and distract the leeches from their helpless prey, but they soon realized that there were many more leeches than they counted on.
"Holy Shitaruuu"A few leeches attempted hitting the void where the midget once was.
"Uh. Love?" Elute laughed nervosly to her new husband.
"Yes dear?"
"There are alot of leeches..."
"I know dear..." He managed to kill a few, but more and more seemed to embark on the horizon.
Elute murmured a cure spell for Gleason, and tried to stay behind him.
Better try and stay out of this one... She thought to herself, even though it was killing her to know that it was only because of a dress.
A six-hundred-thousand gil dress...
But Gleason was thinking the same thing, and he was determined not to let any harm come to her dress.
"They just keep coming..." She gasped as some started to draw attention to her, which she kicked angerly. "What did that little tarrru do!"
"I don't know love, but he really pissed them off."
"Gleason, I don't think-" She cut herself off as she bit her lip, hard. One tried to kiss her, but her devouted husband jumped in front of her for cover.
"I will be alright, you need to get to Bibiki and get tickets for the cruise, ok?" He smiled with a wince. "I can just ru-"
"I am not leaving you!"
"Hun, you need to get there, I will hold them off and join you later."
"No." She stamped her foot and ran to her gobbie bag which their faithful chocobos dropped before they scuttled off.
Cowards...
Seven or so blood suckers lopped after her as she dug wildly for her sword.
"Elute! Go! I got this!"
"No! I do not rememberrr in our vows, me saying 'till nearrr death do I part!'"
Gleason smiled at her, he knew that he could not change her mind once it was made up. But this battle did not seem to be in their favor. It appeared that every time they defeated one, two more would appear. He tried his best to keep them from even touching her dress, but it got harder and harder to do so. It all seemed that they both would embark to the lifestream instead of a honeymoon until they heard the shrill voice of the dwarfed Tarutaru.
"Over-wover there! Look Guido-mido!"
They both adverted their glances from the army of leeches to a much older looking Tarutaru, who was already mumbling an advanced spell.
"Getaru them!" The little one started to cheer.
Then in a firery flash, all the leeches dropped to the ground, like a swarm of bees sprayed with incecticide.The Tarutaru named Guido-mido started to chastise the little one, "Holy shitaru Fary-wary!"
"Thats what I said!"
"You shouldn'taru be talking like thataru! Whataru were you thinking!"
The little one started to sulk, "I justaru wanted to get my ruby-wuby, so I coul startaru training as a summoner..." He kicked at the ground frustrated.
Guido-mido sighed dejectedly and patted Fary-wary. "You should learn how to ask for help, but I will talk to you about that later-water." He looked to the two exausted honymooners."I am sorry-worry aboutaru my grandson, he is justaru tryin' to walk in his father-wather's footsteps. Please, take this gil for your troubles."
They both spoke in unison, "You don't have to pay us,"
Elute started to explain things to the grey Tarutaru, "We were just on our way to our honeymoon, it wasn't out of our way or anything." She smiled at him warmly. He reminded her of Griever for some reason...
He looked up at the blushing couple and laughed. "Don'taru worry about it. Consider itaru a weddin' presentaru!" He thrusted the pouch of gil into Gleason's gauntlet.
"Have a happy-wappy honeymoon!" He waved farewell, and started to walk his grandson to Mhaura.
"Thank ye'!" Gleason shouted after him.
