It Can't Be
The town of Miranda....beautiful, clean, and in chaos. People would not come out of there houses until they saw two figures, one a ninja and one a dragoon knight, enter the town.
An elderly woman rushed out of her house, "you must be the ones the Square Union sent to investigate." Sarah nodded and replied, "How are the people in the town?"
The woman replied, "Every one is so scared they won't even come out, please you must find out what happened."
Jules crossed his arms, "we will don't wor...." Jules turned around at the sound of footsteps and quickly drew his spear and posed for attack. But lowered his spear when he realized who was there. "What are you doing here?"
Edgar responded, "We want to see what is going on as well, besides you can't expect to tackle this problem alone." Jules chuckled and turned away, "fine, but you better not slow me down lover boy."
Edgar took offense to that comment and was about to issue his own comeback when Celes cut in "is there anyone who can take us to where the attack took place?" she asked the old woman. "Yes, hold on one second." The old woman left and went into her house. Moments later she came out with a young man in his late teens. "This is Kyle, he knows the area better then anyone else he can take you there." Kyle just stood there, they couldn't tell if he was angry about having to go perform this chore or scared about what might happen.
Cyan looked at Setzer and asked, "Does thou really believe it was magic that attacked these fine people?" Setzer shrugged his shoulders, "right now I'd put money on yes because of the urgency of the call".
Kyle led the group into the woods where the attack took place. The ground was scorched black and the trees were all burnt. "My goodness" said Strago, "this is awful". Jules crouched down and examined a burnt tree. "It was lightning". Sabin let out a breath, "Thank goddess so it wasn't magic." Jules stood up, "it was magic, look these scorch marks show that the lightning hit the tree coming straight at it, not from above." Jules then moved to Kyle, "I want to see the bodies where are they" Everyone stood in silence. Kyle muttered "umm they ummm well we buried them". Jules became infuriated "Where are they we are digging them up!!!" Terra cut in, "Have you no respect for the dead, let them rest in peace." Sarah then spoke, "she's right Jules they went through enough just let them be." Jules just turned away and snorted, "I knew you would all slow me down" and started to walk back to town. Relm yelled out, "And where do you think your going hotshot?" Jules turned around, "I am going to find out what happened and stop it....ALONE!!" And with that Jules started walking again and was soon out of sight.
"Good riddance, how can you put up with him?" Celes asked Sarah. "He is not usually this..." "Much of an asshole?" Edgar cut in. "Well I was going to say cold but I guess asshole is a better description."
They all stood there contemplating their next move when all of a sudden it started to snow. Setzer said, "Huh, funny I don't remember it ever snowing here. Hey Kyle when is the last time it snowed here....Kyle?" They all looked around and saw the back of a frightened Kyle running as fast as he could back to the village.
"What the hell is going on here?" asked Sabin. "This is truly unusual to say the least" replied Cyan. Then the snow started to come down harder and the temperature was dropping fast. Edgar yelled out, "Guys I don't think this is normal, let's get the bloody hell out of here now." And with that they all started to run in the direction of the town.
The snow started to let up in the area as a dark figure emerged and stood in the same spot the Returners were just moments ago. He was tall about 6'5" and wore a huge black robe and hood that covered about all of his face. He had a sinister grin on his face and said to himself in a sadistic tone, "Haha yes run friends, but do not fret for it has just begun hahaha." And with that the mysterious figure walked away in the opposite direction of the town as the snowfall started to stop.
