Chapter 10
"Well...she helped us out..." Crono said, a bit offended at my tone of voice. "Look, she's not going to rat on us, she can't. Not without any knowledge of us."
"Deceiving her trust won't be much of an honor..." I muttered under my breath. "If she comes, she'll be putting her own life in dang-"
"Hello, how's Hikaru?" The voice that interrupted me was familiar, and I immediately knew who it was.
"Oh he's fine, just woke up not long ago." Crono replied with a happy voice and stood up to greet our visitor. It was Raisu, of course. I looked up and saw the girl more clearly. She was an elf, a beautiful one at that. I shook it off and tried to stand up for a proper introduction, but pain shot up my left side, forcing me back down on the mattress. "And being an idiot now." Crono smirks.
"I owe you my life, Raisu." I said, ignoring Crono's previous comment.
"Oh don't sweat it, you two helped a lot." Raisu said happily and sat down beside me. "We had three other guys who were wounded...we were down there on a mission to kill Osiris so that the mummies wouldn't raid Morroc."
"Over time, Osiris will revive." I muttered. She could hear me and replied.
"At least the people have relief for a few hundred years." She knelt down beside my mattress and leaned over to take a look at my arm.
"And of course, you'd still be alive to save the people from the raids." My remark didn't surprise Raisu in any way. Elves usually live up to one thousand years, and she would be any age between 19 and 300. She smiled and didn't say anything towards the comment.
"Your arm...what happened?" She looks up from the stub.
"He got bitten by a mummy." Crono replied for me. "The poison basically rotted his arm away..."
"A Crusader without a shield..." Raisu sits back and looks at me with worry. "Might as well be a Knight." I clenched by teeth and took a deep breath. I hated to think that my parents were right...that I was destined to be a Knight after all.
