A/N: Short, but better than nothing. Hope you enjoy it regardless. Oh, and I'm still accepting character submissions. Send some in, even if you've sent one already in. Make it something creative, and I'll put it in.
Sin couldn't sleep. So, he made his way outside, and fell asleep in the grass, under the lonely moon. As hard as he tryed, he couldn't remember why he was so fearful or Erish and Xakaryus... but all he knew was that he had to run, everytime he met one of them. That was it. Run, or die.
Autumn peeked out her tent, and saw Sin laying in the grass. "Perfect..." She muttered, smiling to herself, as she climbed out of her tent, and walked towards him, making sure her hair was neat. "Can't sleep...?" She asked, and Sin looked up. "...Not at all." He said, and she nodded. "It's hard to sleep... with such a beautiful night upon us." She said, looking to the stars twinkling around the moon.
"...No, I can't sleep because of I'm afraid of my own dreams." He said, and then stopped. "Nevermind me. Sleep deprivation makes me ramble." He said, rolling over. She blinked. "If you say so..." She said, as she began humming to herself, and Sin listened, finding peace in her simple tune, and he closed his eyes, and began humming it to himself. She looked to him, surprised. "How do you know that song?" She asked, and he shrugged. "Sound's familiar... I just hummed the next note that came into mind." He said, and he kept humming it, as the song played in his head, and he began to drift into sleep. She looked away. 'How could he know a song only known to my families party...?' She thought, and put the thought to the back of her mind as she watched him fall asleep.
Michael wandered through the forests. He wondered where the hell he was going with this group. So what if they were the last of Bolstar... if he really wanted to live, he should split... but he kinda didn't want to. Suddenly, he felt a presence from behind him, and from a tree, a swordsman jumped down and almost caught him off guard, but he quickly evaded, and unsheathed his blade, but the swordsman laughed, as he... no, she stepped into the moonlight. And she was carrying a stick.
"Scare ya?" Terra said with a laugh, dropping the stick. Michael sheathed his sword, releived. He had seen enough battle to last him a while, and he ignored the remark. "...So you couldn't sleep either?" He asked, and she shrugged. "...Kinda." She said, holding her hands behind her back as she walked slowly towards a large tree. "...I like the night. It's pretty." She said, and Michael realized the situation he had been so fatefully placed in. Alone. In a forest. At night. Under the moon. With a girl. Oh, sweet bliss it was for Michael. Terra turned around, and smiled. Michael was blown away.
Balhd was off his horse, and made for the sound of a river he had heard while he slept. He, with Kyren had discarded his armor bearing Bolstar's crest, running a hand through black hair... how long had it been since he had shed his armor? it was a strange sensation... made him feel almost free... but almost empty at the same time. That beautiful capital city he had defended for so many years...it was nothing now. Rubble, and burnt remnants. It was depressing at the very least. He sat at the river once he found it, and sighed. "What am I meant to do now?" He asked himself, skipping a rock across the waters surface, as he peered through the darkness with hazel eyes, infused with blue.
Kitch walked out of his tent. "Where am I...?" He said, looking around, twitching slightly. "Im so confused..." He said, as he looked at a paper stuck to his shirt. "Eh?" He said, reading it, and it read 'Look in your pocket.' and he pulled out a journal, and began reading his most recent entry. "Hm..." He said, reading. "So... that's what happened yesterday?" He said, reading past entries. "Oh. Heh, this Glen seems funny." He said with a chuckle. "So... I have a mental disorder? I keep forgetting everything once I fall asleep?" He said to himself, with a frown. "Sounds... troublesome." He said to himself, as he twitched. "Maybe thats why my sleep felt so restless..." He said, as he pulled out a paper, with magical schematics.
"... I'll never be able to pull any of this off... it's too good... and I'm a half-rate mage..." He said, as he remebered his self-depreciating self. He walked off to the forests. "Might as well try though..." He said, with a heavy sigh. "Wonder where Keith is..." He said, the writings bringing back his memory. He trudged off through the forest, wondering where he could find his friend.
Keith was sitting in the forest, and raised a hand, and from the palm, burst a black shadow. "Good, good, you're getting better... now control it, and move it around with your mind... focus, and control. Block everything out, except that shadow." He said, and Keith nodded, and he spun the shadow around Hiyo's head. "Good, good... I'll be able to fufill my fate at this rate..." He said, muttering to himself. "Now, try te darkness dagger..." He said, and Keith looked tired. "...o...k..." He said, breaths labored, as he began tracing runes in the air alongside of Hiyo.
Elsewhere, Heresy sat on a stump, flipping a coin, looking to the stars. "When I can prove myself...I'll return..." He said, and Siham was leaning against a tree near him. "...If only proving ourselves was that easy..." She said, and he nodded. "...We can always try..." He said. Heresy looked up, and saw a fire in the distance.Near this fire, stood Aidan and Dameon, laughing hysterically, as they swapped 'purification' stories. Nadia sat on the ground knitting together a doll, and looking up, smiling at the fact her brother had made a friend, with someone as equally insane as he was. And she realized, when he was Carlos, Nadia got along with him very well.
Kyren sat up. "Apparantly... none of our comrades can sleep." He said with a grin to Lysalia. She smiled. "At least their all getting along... apparantly... they're all making bonds." And Kyren chuckled. "Just like our old days in the army... maybe a handful of them might get off lucky like we did..." He said, and she smiled, and fell asleep besides him.
