Well here's chapter two...please...please...please r&r!
Kirlia's eyes opened to a blurry and dark world. After blinking several times, her eyes finally adjusted to the dark and damp Mechria Forest. Still dazed, she checks herself for injuries. Unsurprised, she finds herself covered in cuts and bruises.
A sudden, sharp pain draws her attention to her right leg. Her calf bone had snapped in half and was now exposed into the air. She cries and yells several uncalled for words. She couldn't understand how she missed something so painful and obvious. The only conclusion she could come to was that she was still too dazed; it dulled the pain.
She glances around nervously, afraid someone was there that would want her dead and would jump at the first opportunity to behead her and take claim to the reward Trout would offer. Her hand slips into her pocket and she pulls out a crystal vial filled with a thick jet-black liquid. She sat there for several hours until it grew too dark in the woods to see.
Suddenly, Kirlia sinks further under the brush. A small green light had appeared and there would be a tall dark shadow behind it.
"Miss Kirlia..?" The tiny voice called.
"KIRLIA!" Bellows the voice of Commander Ewan Garnet. "Dammit! Where are you?"
Kirlia shrinks further into the brush, shivering from the cold, and softly sobbing from the pain of her leg and the realization that she was going to be caught.
"Miss…?" Kirlia felt something scratch her cheek. "Miss Garnet! Wake up please, miss!" Reluctantly, Kirlia opens her eyes. A small fairy with a green aura sits on her knee with worry. "Miss, you be alright! Your leg, I can't…I can't--" the small fairy's voice trails off as Kirlia puts her finger to her little friends' mouth.
"Its alright, Myra, its alright. Would you kindly gather my daggers?" Myra nods and flies low to search for Kirlia's weapons. When returned with both daggers, both encased in the mud of the mountain, she asks timidly, "You went stealing again, didn't you?" Kirlia merely nods. "F-from…whom?"
"Trout."
Myra falls out of the air and lands on Kirlia, who is giving Commander Ewan Garnet a look of sadness, pain, and fear. Sir Garnet kneels down next to his sister, looking her over sadly.
"I can't believe your actions, Kirlia. I hope the cousins Slinger decide to leave Mech before Trout lays down all our heads." He wraps her leg in bandages. "When we get to Tipa Docks, I'll snap bone back," Kirlia winces as Ewan picks her up. "You're not going to turn me in?" Kirlia asks in a small, ashamed voice. Ewan doesn't reply until after he steps over a root and started walking. "No, but I do hope you realize how disappointed I am." Kirlia looks down as Myra lands on her knee, but doesn't respond.
