Also, im a quick writer so there should be a new chapter up every or every other day, exept on weekends.

Now, on to chapter four.

Chapter Four-------------

"Alright, Skyback is only a few miniutes away now." called out Lloyed. Thanks to his angle sight he could see as far as Colette, if not farther. It had only been a few hours since they had fought the golden knight back in Luin, and some things still bothered Lloyed.

I wonder whats up, thought Sheena. She had been having a wonderful conversation with Lloyed, and she felt that she was getting close to admitting what she felt about him, and possibly what he felt about her, when that knight had attacked. Yah, he had known about Lloyeds exsphere, and the Angulus Project, AND her being the keeper of the Summon Spirits, but didnt most high up Desians and angles? Maybe something else was bothering him that she hadnt thought of yet. Well, better try and pry it out of him, or he'll just be thinking about it for the rest of the trip, she thought.

"Whats up Lloyed? Your still not thinking about the knight again are you? " she asked caustiously.

Lloyed looked down at her, (he was flying slightly overhead) and said, " Yah, I know it sounds weird, and a bit strange, but I feel like iv...met him somewhere. He was just so familiar. Even his attacks where, thats how I was able to fight him as well as I did." he looked back up toward Skyback. But how can that be, he thought, I had never seen him before in my life. How could I have known him? Arrrgh, there are so many questions and not enought answers. O well, guess theres no need to be worring about it now, it will all come clear soon. Yah, I should get back to the present. He smiled. I should start getting back to the journy with Sheena. Im finally spending time with her and im not even thinking about it.

"What are you smiling about?" Sheena asked.

"Uhh, nothing." Lloyed quickly said, just to cover up his embaressment. I wonder if ill ever be able to tell her how I feel about her. I wonder how she feels about me. Hmmm, how can I tell her? I mean, we are just friends right? Right? Man, I hate talking to myself.

"Hey, Lloyed! We're almost there. Wake up!" yelled Sheena. She wonder'd what was up with him lately. He and been...warmer to her. Less embarresed to show off some of his emotions. Maybe im finally breaking threw to him. He might tell me how he feels after all. Iv got to tell him how I feel about him soon...Iv got to tell him tonight. And with that set of mind she couldnt wait for the night.

Sheena landed outside of the city while Lloyed glided around a bit to see if there were any angry mobs or anything. He was relieved to see that there wer'nt, if not a bit surprised. He flew back to Sheena and landed next to her. That was when he caught her staring at him in a certain way. "What?" he asked.

Sheena blushed and looked away. " Umm, nothing, never mind." Man, that was close, she thought.

They both entered the city and started looking around. "Thise place hasnt changed abit." said Lloyed, throwing a bit of a down cast look about him.

"What, you were expecting something to change?" she asked.

"Well ya, you know how much I love new things." sighed Lloyed. "O well, lets start looking for Raine and Genis.'

They looked around for a bit before entering the library. They spoted there friends pretty quickly, considering they were surronded by piles of books. They both walked right up to them, making as much noise as they could in the library to tell there friends that they were coming. To no surprise, they didnt notice, even when Lloyed and Sheena walked right up behind them. So Lloyed got a crafty idea and stuck his head right in between theres and said, "Boo.." and with that Raind and Genis jumped up so high they knocked the books all over the floor. "Brilliant Lloyed, real smart." chastised Sheena, but even she chould'nt help but giggle over her friends sprawled out forms.

"Lloyed! Sheena! What are you two doing here?" asked a startled Genis.

"Before we start talking, may we go outside?" asked Raine, in a dangourus tone, as she finished stacking the books. And before Lloyed could say yes or no she had grabed him by the arm and almost dragged him out of the liabrary. When they were outside by the garden she yelled, "What the hell was that about?"

Lloyed looked at her sheepishly. "Um...I was just having some fun, that's all. Im...sorry"

"Well, dont do it again. And what are you two doing here? Arnt you supposed to be back in Isalia?" she yelled, pointing at Lloyed, "and arnt you supposed to be helping out with the move from Miziho?" still yelling, as she pointed at Sheena. Genis was trying to calm her down but to no avail. Sheena also looked about sheepishly, and keeping out of it the best she could, knowing that the professer would cool off soon. Sadly, Lloyed didnt seem to be on the same wave length.

"Well, we came here to ask you a few quistions, and just to stop by and see how you were!" yelled back Lloyed, who by now was angry as well. "I said I was sorry and I meant it!"

This outburst from Lloyed got him a smack up the side of his head, but by now Raine had started to cool off. "Very well, I shall accept your apology, but please...I dont like to be startled."

"So Lloyed, what brings you and Sheena here?" asked Genis, not hearing what Lloyed had said before.

"Well, we ran into...a problem, and we were wondering if you could help out." said Lloyed, who had calmed down. He then told them about what had happend in Luin.

As he told the story, convenitly holding back the conversation he and Sheena had had, there faces turned from curiosity to horror. As he finished his story they were speechless for a few seconds.

Sheena was the one who broke the silence. "We were hoping that you had read or heard about something about this knight. Lloyed says that he is familiar to him in some way."

Raine thought back for a few seconds. "Noo...I cant say I have." she answerd slowly.

Genis was thinking hard about it aswell. "Knight in golden armor...knight...golden...where have I heard that before...O! I remember!" he yelled out, startaling everybody around him. He jumped up from the bench he had been sitting on and ran to the inn, where he and Raine had booked their room. The others followed him to there room to find him rumaging through his sack until he popped out with an old book. He started leafing through the pages until he found the one he wanted. "Ahh here it is." he stated and then began to read aloud.

About four thousand years ago there was a demon named Abyssion. He was created from the utmost evil around him, namly the hatred, greed, and evil want for power in man's heart. After he was created the first thing he did was create a sort of gaurdian, a knight in golden armor, just to give the appearance of "goodness" in the eyes of mortal man. He then divided his power with the knight, so that if one was destroyed the other could continue on and revive his fallen comrad later on. At about the time of his creation, the knight left to the other side of the world to wreak hovac there, leaving Abyssion to do what he wanted. When this happend four knights appeared and slayed Abyssion. In doing so, they left the knight without power, so he simply withered away into nothing. The fight with Abyssion was a terriable one, but the knights prevailed in the end. No one knows who these knights were, for after the victory, they seemed to disapear. But with there victory, there arose a problem. It seemed that the evil that Abyssion had within him was to great to simply dissiaper, so the knights locked this evil into nine differiant weapons. In doing so, they changed these tools of light into tools of darkeness. Nobody knows what happend to these weapons, but it is said that they are scattered around the world, and if they were to be brought together again then Abyssion would arise, and so would his gaurdian. Pray that this never happens.

Genis looked up from his book. "Well, we already destroyed Abyssion, again, but then that would mean..." he trailed off.

"Yes, Genis, when we brought him back we also brought back the knight." said Raine.

Lloyed was thinking. "But if he had half of Abyssion's power, how could Sheena and I have defeated him so easily?"

"I was thinking about that too. Maybe when we brought back Abyssion, and then killed him, the knight didnt have time to attain his full power. Maybe he only had enough to keep him alive, and when we killed Abyssion he started losing whatever power he had gained." said Sheena.

"But it only took us fifteen miniutes to beat him, (and those where the toughest fifteen miniutes of my life) and its been three months since Abyssion's defeat, how could he have absorbed enough power to last this long?" asked Lloyed, apparently thinking outloud.

"Thats a good question." said Raine, "maybe Abyssion had more power then we thought. Maybe he wasnt fighting at full streangth."

The others took this in with a heavy heart.

Lloyed was the first to break the silence. "Well, why dont we gather the rest of the group and then figure out what to do? I mean, if you guys can take time out of your trip."

Raine thought about it for a second and then answerd slowly, "Yes...we'll go with you guys. It would be nice to take a break from these people who hate half-elves...even if it is to fight another evil."

Genis was jumping up and down with glee. "Ill get packed. Well be gone in the morning. O Lloyed, Noishe is in the field outside the back gates by the old oaks."

"O MY GOD! How couldI forget?" and with the Lloyed dashed outside for find his pet. Sheena smiled as he left and started helping Raine pack up some supplys.

Later the night, when the city had quited down and almost everybody was asleep Sheena got out of bed to find that Lloyed wasnt in his. She left the room quitly so as not to wake Raine and Genis in there room. She went into the foyar to find it was dark, meaning nobody was there. She left the city looking for him until she found him by the hill outside. He was siting there with Noishe,( who, by the way, had been so overjoyed to see him the he had smotherd him with his tongue for over a half hour) petting him slowly on the head, as he was asleep on his lap, and staring at the night sky. She sneaked up on him, just to see if he wanted to be alone. She was still ten feet away when she was startled by a voice.

"You dont have to sneak up on me Sheena, I can hear you just fine." said Lloyed.

"How'd you know I was there?" asked Sheena, who was astounded by the fact that she had not been able to accomplish her stunt. Maybe she was losing her touch.

"How long have we been together? I think I would have been able to notice when you'r behind me or not. And Noishe is here." answerd Lloyed.

She walked up beside him. "May I have a seat?" asked Sheena. He nodded. "Whatcha doing out here in the middle of the night by yourself?"

Lloyed sighed. "Just thinking about the past, that all." he said simply.

"Thats it?" pryed Sheena

Lloyed looked at her with a bemused look on his face. "Man you always know when there's more on my mind then I let on."

"Well, duh, we both think on basicly the same wavelength, im bound to know theres something more on you mind."

Lloyed chuckled. "What's so funny?" asked Sheena.

"You." he sayed, still looking at her with that look.

"What?" she asked again, now confused.

Lloyed looked back at the night sky with a smile on his face. Sheena was still thinking about what had just transpired, trying to figure out what he meant, when out of the blue Lloyed put his arm around her. "?" she looked at him. He shrugged. "You were shivering." he stated. She noticed that it was cold out. "You're not cold?" she asked. "I lived in the forest near the mountains and ocean remember? It always go cold out. Come on, lets get back inside and get you warmed up." he started to get up when she pulled him back down. "Its ok, I can handle it. Dont worry about me." she said. She then rested her head on Lloyed shoulder. "Um...Lloyed?...um...how...do you feel...about me?" she stammered out. Lloyed looked back at her and just stared for a few seconds. "Im...not sure." he say'd simply. She was stunned. She had hoped for something alot more then that, so she started to get up, when he draged her back down.

"I mean, I know you my best friend in the world, and im happy with that, but...I cant help feeling something else for you. I dont know...maybe ill figure that out down the road..." he looked down at the ground, a bit embarrassed for saying something like that, not knowing Sheena's reaction.

Sheena started at him for a second. She put her head back down on his shoulder and said, "Thanks Lloyed, thanks."

He looked down at her to see if that was meant as pain, but he saw that she had dozed off with a smile on her face. "What am I feeling? What should I do?" he asked Noishe, who had been lisining in. He looked at Lloyed with those big eyes of his, then sat up and started heading back to the inn. After he walked a few feet away he looked back at Lloyed, obiusly wanting him to take Sheena back to the inn. "Yah, thanks bud." he said to Noishe. He then picked up Sheena in his arms, hoping not to wake her, and headed back to the inn. He went up to their room and laid her down on the bed and covered her up. He then stoked the fire and started at it for awhile, trying to understand these feelings he had for the summoner. After awhile he set up a bed for Noishe and changed. He then walked back into the room and started at the sleeping Sheena for a few seconds. He smiled at her and laid down in his own bed. Night Sheena, and...thanks. And with that thought he fell asleep with a smile on his face, feeling contentment.
