Chapter 7: Tell Me! I Want To Know Too!

"You have to tell me!" Raimundo pleaded.
"Raimundo! You weren't listening the first time, so I don't think you are going to this time!"
Omi stuck out his chin in stubbornness and crossed his arms.
"I'm the Prince here! I promise I will listen... I'll even... Let you go back to your bar!" Omi knew he deserved something more than that.
"How about I get a day off?" asked Omi. "Sure! Whatever you want! Just tell me!"
Begging from a Prince is not what you would expect. But something from Kimiko touched his heart.
Little did he know she thought the same about him.
"Alright Raimundo. I happen to know the Earth... Elemental. I don't think you have met him before but his name is Clay, and I made friends with him at the bar."
Raimundo bolted upright. "I know that guy! He was talking to me!"
Omi waited for Raimundo to stop talking and then continued "People you know might be something else... Guess who the Fire Elemental is?"

"Kimiko?" Raimundo replied automatically. "You wish. It's Sophia, but she just doesn't know how to use her power yet..." Disturbing news... How could Kimiko not be it? She was so... Fire like.
But this was coming from Omi's mouth...

"How does she not know how to use her power?" asked Raimundo.
"If you please, I could tell the King I told you and then get punished. He could tell you." Omi shifted his eyes around and stood up.
"Go right ahead, I'll be waiting." Raimundo remarked. "Yes Raimundo. But I do think he will try and kill me."
Omi lowered his gaze to the ground and tried to look helpless.
That didn't faze Raimundo one bit.
"You can go now." The Water from the fountain seemed to be falling onto the marble floor...
"Yes Master." If Raimundo did care he would have stopped him from going.
But he was the ruler after all, and every had to do his dirty work.
"Sophia? How can it be? She isn't angry! But she's annoying!" He imagined her blond hair being flipped across her shoulder...
Raimundo shook his head violently and an image of Kimiko appeared in his mind.
Scrawny, but pretty.
Bossy, but nice at the same time.
Another scream from down stairs, Omi. Raimundo yawned and opened his door.
Omi probably did have a black eye or something from the King... No, the King was to lazy to beat up Omi.
So Omi was getting tortured by the guards. "Raimundo!" Lucia's voice rang through the hall ways.
Raimundo didn't answer, instead he closed his door and lay down on his bed.

Queen Lucia knew he was going to ignore her, so she sent Omi up. Surely that little servant would persuade the Prince to come down.
"Now you see? We could have told him sooner." Lucia snarled.
"It wasn't my fault you Queen. Besides, if we don't tell him the whole truth then he won't know what hit him. Raimundo is sometimes not deserving of the title King.
" At hearing the name Raimundo, Sophia came tripping down the many marble staircases.
"Who is talking about my love? I want to know too!" Sophia giggled, but didn't bow down to the King.
"Bow down you faggot. You don't even know why are you marrying his- my son!" Charon pointed out.
"Maybe because I'm beautiful, nice, and smart!"
She smiled and flipped her hair over her shoulder.
"You know, I'm sure he would like me if he saw me in the town! You found me in the town remember?" asked Sophia.
Lucia flinched and thought about it. Sophia used to be a rich villager, living on her own in a small cabin.
Possibly trying to seduce someone...
Charon was the one to choose her, for money... And because Sophia had special qualities.
"Here he comes now! Oh doesn't he look handsome!" Sophia almost fainted, while Raimundo sneered and brushed back his untamed hair. "What did you want from me now?" he asked, grumpy.
Charon spoke up. "There's a reason you are going to marry that idiot..."

"Why? We have been through this so many times father! Now you say: She has special qualities. What's so special about her?"
Raimundo pointed his finger accusingly at Sophia while she blushed madly.
"Omi did tell you something about being... Magic right?" asked Charon.
"No, he said a mage." Lucia didn't want to be a part of this, so she got of her throne chair and walked away.
"You aren't a mage, you were misinformed. Sophia and you were... Destined to be together. It's says so in one of the books in the library."
he lied.
Raimundo covered his ears, as if something was tearing at his ears.
"You lie! I'm not just magic! Fate didn't bring that... That... Bitch to me! You did!"
Charon covered his own ears, because he knew Raimundo was going to start shouting, cussing, and then eventually Raimundo was going to run out of the castle, and to somewhere... "But darling, you have me!" Sophia comforted him, or at least tried to.
A blast of Wind seemed to be coming from him. "I don't CARE!"
Raimundo clapped his hands together and everyone blacked out, except for Raimundo; he was on the run, and he wasn't going to come back.

This weird feeling came to Kimiko. A tugging at her heart... "Do you feel that Keiko?" asked Kimiko.
Keiko's black hair whipped Kimiko in the face when she turned around. "No... I'm kind of hungry though."
She started blankly at her.
"Fine, then I'm going. Some thing's wrong, and I'm going to find out! Don't try and make my potions for me! I'm independent!"
Kimiko darted through the trees, what was wrong?
That little feeling that made her sick to her stomach.
Then she saw Raimundo, storming around as usual. In a bad mood as usual, but there was more dirt and muck on his clothes.
A sour expression was on his face.
The fact of him mad made Kimiko laugh to herself.
Still in the bushes, she watched him glide around the town, he looked as though he was thinking about insulting somebody, but he resisted. Wind blew past her face.
Whenever he had a very strong emotion there seemed to be a Tornado around him.
He made his way over to the Temple door, and was about to knock when he froze.
Kimiko's heart stopped.
Raimundo was looking straight at her! Carefully, Kimiko sank lower to the ground. She heard the crunch of leaves. He walked right past her! Where was he heading? The water fall? Or perhaps some other place her knew of?

Raimundo looked behind him. That tingly feeling... How come Raimundo always thought himself as weird?
He sat down and dragged his fingers in the ground.
His fingernails were turning brown from all his mindless digging, so he got up, and bit his lower lip.
"Everything in my life just turned out to be dull." he muttered.
Kimiko hid in the tree tops and stared at him, he was a bit handsome.
A bit nice...
A bit hot...
"Snap out of it!" Kimiko hit herself on the head and watched.
Raimundo didn't hear her.
"AM I A MAGE!" He asked no one in particular.
"If I am, then I could do this!" He lifted up his hand and pointed to a rock. It flew off the ground and sailed past his head.
"That's still not proof enough! How about this!"
Raimundo made a swift movement, and the tree Kimiko was hiding in shook.
"Oh crap.." She closed her eyes and hoped for the best. The Wind stopped, and he turned around. "Sword of the Storm!" Raimundo looked confused at what he even said. All that could be heard now was the sound of Wind roaring...
Kimiko's eyes widened in horror when a sword came flying at her, it's yellow colored blade gleaming dangerously in the light.
