Hi!

Arg...there's supposed to be a left > here, but it's not working...so I have to work without it. (with a left >)insert witty disclaimer here>

No offence, but I have been getting some STUPID reviews lately. Please, PLEASE try to ask for intelligent things! Asking for the ending of a 50-chapter FF during chapter 6 is not one…nor is asking for me to but in MiaGaret while Imilshipping just came so strongly ...PLEASE!

I appreciate all of you! I can be very dramatic…but I MEANT EVERYTHING I SAID!

Oh, and please review after reading! Even if it's one word, it lets me know that you've read it.

One more thing - Anonymous reviewers, please consider getting an account if you wish to keep your streams of feedback. : P


A few nights later found Isaac and Jenna talking by the campfire. It was the usual chitchat until Jenna suddenly said,

"I don't want to be hurt again, Isaac."

Immediately, he shut up, and began to watch her intently.

She took a breath and continued. "Everyone man I've loved, he says that he loves me, then leaves me as suddenly as he came. Back in Vale, I had a little fling with Garet, about, oh, the time you and Kay were dating. Remember?" When he nodded, she continued. "Except, ah, yours ended happily. Or, at least, normally."

She sighed. "And then…there's Alex. Although, I can't really blame him for leaving…but…"

She sighed, as Isaac continued to stare at her intently. "I guess what I'm trying to say is…I don't want it to happen again. I've had a scare already, when you died, and I don't think I could possibly stand any more."

Isaac's mind was tumbling around in circles. It felt like he was playing Russian roulette with the heart of the woman he loved. One little touch and it could all come crashing down.

Finally, he decided on what to say.

This is what he said, word for word:

"Jenna, I really don't know what to say. Your story is actually pretty shocking to me. I can't promise you anything – that would be foolish, because I'm a mortal, and I cannot insure that I will always be there. But I do know that I will do whatever I can to be there for you. Whatever you decide, Jenna, I'll stand by your decision."

Jenna, after digesting this information, replied, "Well, then…do you love me?"

Isaac smiled. "Yes, I suppose I do.

Jenna wrapped her arms around him and gave him a soft, passionate kiss that caught him by surprise. When he recovered, he kissed her back, and he himself felt like melting into a puddle of love and happiness.

Jenna slipped to the ground on top of her bedroll, pulling Isaac along with her.

"I love you." He muttered as he slipped down into a deep, passionate night with her.

"Love you too," She mumbled back.

Fire ignited between them, and flared as they slipped into a dreamlike-state of burning fire and deep passion.


Note: By the way, I got this idea from the song Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash.
Alex stumbled back as the claw caught him in his chest. The monsters here were almost impossible to kill. He tried to use his staff to protect him as he took another blow that left him breathless.

He was much, much weaker than he was before. He was now no more then a normal warrior, not the potent Adept he was before. But, he thought to himself, it's worth every bit of the cost.

"Plume Edge!" He managed to half-shout with his crushed lungs.

An enormous geyser erupted and blew the bear-like creature away. Slowly, he managed to pick himself up and kneel on the ground, gasping.

Mia rushed over from her magical prison, calling his name. She knelt by him, and whispered, "Pure Ply."

Immediately he felt numbness replace the pain. He relaxed and felt his broken bones and lungs mend, as well as refreshing him and removing several bruises and wounds.

He stood up. "Thanks."

She laughed. "Hey, I'm a healer, remember?"

He grinned, and they continued to head toward what they hoped was Tundra Temple.

A day later, they say the silhouette of pure ice reflecting off the snowy ground.

Mia gasped, but he couldn't tell if it was a pant or a gasp of wonder. "That must be it…I wonder-"

But she was cut short by two bubbles that flew toward then and enveloped them in its soggy depths.

Both of them struggled to get free of the confining bubble.

A few seconds later, a woman, lying on a bed of bubbles, appeared in front of them.

She was green-haired and fair-skinned. Her nails were long as twigs, and her lips blood red. Piercing steel-gray eyes adorned her face, located above a sharp curving nose. Ears resembling leaves were set on wither side of her face, and she wore a flowing, iridescent dress.

"Well, well, well," She said in a mocking tone. "What do we have here?"

Alex shouted something at her, but it didn't go through the thick liquid of the bubble.

She smiled. "My name is Boreal. My partners Martyri, Kilos and Farad will soon destroy the entire universe, starting with Weyard, here.

"But." She said, snapping her fingers, "Enough of that. Let's have a little fun, shall we?"

As she said this, a giant roulette circle appeared in the middle of nowhere. With twin cries, the entrapped Mia and Alex found themselves hurled in circles around the perimeter of the ring.

As Mia swung by each one at breakneck speed, she saw the various things in pits that she could easily fall into, if the bubbles would lose momentum and stop. A pit of Death Chimeras, a bunch of Fenrirs, a brood of Fell Scorpions…and several strange, murky holes.

With a sickening feeling she realized that she was losing speed. Her bubble scratched the edge of a trench full of Black Adders and fell into a mysterious hole…

But not before Alex crashed into her, forcing her to plummet into its depths, closely followed by Alex.


YAY!

Well, what do you think, hmm?

Not bad, hopefully.
