Way, away, away from here I'll be,

Way, away, away so you can see…

How it feels to be alone and not believe…

Feels to be alone and not believe…

Feels to be alone and not believe…anything

Legacies

Chapter 3

Groaning, a robed figure sat up on his bed. His back was hurting again, but he was used to it by now since the bed was virtually a rock slab and far from comfortable. Blinking his opal colored eyes slowly; he got out of bed and stood up, looking through the window into the dawning sun. As the orange and red colors spread across the pale blue sky of spring, a smile flickered to his face.

Turning from the dawn, the opal-eyed being went over to the nearby mirror. Looking at his eyes, he cursed slightly. His platinum hair contrasted against the eyes sharply, and after three months of having to deal with them, he still was not used to it. Shaking his head violently, the long hair covering the warrior's eyes, ears, and nose moved with it, falling into a slightly neater view. Sighing, the robed figure headed out of the room into the adjacent garden.

Inside the Garden of Dawn, he found another of the seven beings he had been resurrected with. None of them knew much about their previous lives, except what they had been told when they came back to being. They didn't have real names, just code names for which they knew each other by. It didn't matter all that much, but the platinum haired man would have preferred a real name at times.

Smiling when he saw whom his companion within the Garden of Dawn was, the entire area took on a whole new glow. The flowers and trees that thrived within these walls were beautiful in their own right, and the entire area smelled of roses, but the person who was sitting on a bench looking into the dawn made them seem nothing in comparison. Her blonde hair fell thick down her back and shoulders, ending about the middle of her back. Although he couldn't see her eyes, the hair was more than enough to identify whom this person was.

As he neared her, she turned and smiled up at him with those pure white eyes. There were no irises or pupils visible, but that was with good reason. "Why, good morning, Opal. I trust you slept well?"

Finding it impossible to frown in her presence, the person now known as Opal smiled and replied, "About the same. These beds are less comfortable than a rock slab, if you ask me. Yourself, Diamond?"

"Ah, I didn't sleep last night…I-I was watching the orbs again," she replied, her voice quivering slightly. "I was making sure that Garnet and Topaz didn't give their cover away. I mean, you know how those to are together, right?"

Chuckling at the thought of the two rivals having duty together over one of the warriors they were watching, the platinum haired revival added, " Yes, I do. But you do need to stop watching the orbs so much. You'll know when I do if there is a fourth warrior found. After all, we're the only two who don't have someone to watch over."

"…yeah, I guess you're right…" Diamond replied half-heartedly. She just wanted to find some reason to believe that what they were doing was right. She doubted it, but maybe there was something about the person they would watch over that changed that. Still, she didn't really believe in their cause.

Seeing her frown, Opal tried to make her smile again quickly by adding, "But, you don't have to worry. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for-you always do after all." When she smiled up at him, his heart jumped and his stomach fluttered. "Anyway, what d'you say we have some fun today?"

"And what kind of fun would that be, Master Opal?" she responded seriously, but failed to keep the expression up for long. "So long as it is nothing too personal, I'm game, I suppose…"

"Just some training, that's all. We haven't sparred in ages, after all."

"Guess you're right. Same place as usual?"

"Of course. See in you about ten minutes then?"

"Alright."

As Diamond left the Garden, Opal watched after her. She really was a beautiful person, but he still wasn't sure if she was the person for him. Shaking his head, he left the garden and started to head to the training arena. As he entered the large area, he drew his sword and then sat on the ground. As he waited for Diamond to come, he thought more on whether or not another of the warriors would be found soon. If one was, then he and Diamond would be able to leave this place, and go back to the world they have wanted to visit since they reappeared here on Endiness…

While Diamond and Opal were there in that palace, hundred of miles away, a ship was docking in Fueno. At the bow of the small transport ship stood a young man, not much older than seventeen. His fire red hair was cut short on top, but his bangs were long enough to cover his eyes. Whenever a strong wind picked up, and blew his bangs from his eyes, the teenager was seen to have sea-green eyes.

As the ship docked, the tanned wanderer slung a bag over his shoulder and picked up a battleaxe. As he walked down the dock with a slow, easy gait, many people stared at the site. He wasn't very tall, and the axe, if standing on the ground, would be taller than he was, but here walked, carrying the axe and a small bag of personals. What was most peculiar about this youth, though, was that around his neck was an item that clashed with his obvious second-hand items. Around his neck, he wore a topaz colored jewel, a little smaller than an adult size hand.

As he headed down the streets, more and more people noticed this wanderer. Of course, the ease with which he carried the axe showed he knew how to use it, and most people didn't want to attack him and steal the jewel. Once he had gotten out of the city, night-time had fallen, and the red-haired teenager stopped. Behind him the city lights were bright, but he didn't care.

Now he was far enough out of the city, he decided he could risk using the jewel around his neck. Holding it tightly in his hand, he pushed some of his own natural energy into, and spoke in a voice deep and low, "Show me where the others are" After he spoke to it in his whisper, the stone lit up with three different colors. The red light and the white light pointed towards Fletz, capital of Tiberoa, while the third beam, pure black and nrealy visible, showed towards Bale, capital of Serdio.

Sighing, the youth put the stone away, and laid down to rest. He would be having a long day ahead of him tomorrow. He needed to get to Fletz soon, and possibly way-lay the carriers of the white and red jewels like his. If he could, then maybe he could get some answers, because the longer he went without them, the more he wanted to just throw the stone away and forget what it might be.

Note: Another short chapter, I know…but, bear with me. I'm trying to write this in a new style than my previous works were in. So, the chapters may take some time to get longer.
