Location: Agria Canyon
As the group left the spirit path they immediately noticed that they were
at the Agria Canyon. Though they only visited a couple times the
memories of the place were clear. " Agria Canyon this place brings back
memories" says Rean " indeed" says Kurt " hey guys i think before we
head on we should decide on who goes this time " says Elliot " huh why
is that?" asks Juna " well don't you think it will be a bit weird if anyone
saw a group of about ten people just walking around?" asks Elliot " Elliot
has a point beside besides now we'll have someone to guard Valimar
and Ordine " says Crow. So the group decides to cut their group in half
one to guard Valimar and Ordine and one to find the missing member of
Class 7. After a bit of discussion the the group that would look for the
missing member would consist of Rean, Altina, Elliot, Laura, and Kurt
with the remainder staying behind" good luck you guys make sure Rean
doesn't push himself to hard alright" says Crow " of course " says Altina
while Rean gives a guilty smile remembering the stress he gave at
Lohengrin Castle and with that the group headed out to find their fellow
member. While traveling along the canyon road it didn't take long for the
corrupted parts on Rean's face to start shimmering that familiar yellow
color causing him to hide his face with his makeshift hood " it looks like
one of those crystals are in this area" says Rean " seems so" says Kurt
" then we should stay on guard we have no idea what kind of effect it
could have on us or the surround area " says Laura " agreed" says Elliot
the group continues walking then Rean notices Altina seemingly
pondering something " what's on your Altina?" Rean asks " hmm oh I
was wondering doesn't it seem like there's a bit of a pattern going on
here?" she asks " how so" asks Kurt " well we every time we reunite with
another member of class 7 one of these crystals or something similar
appears" Altina answers " you know she does have a point" says Elliot
everyone then looks to Elliot curiously " i mean there was me and we
ended up being encountered by those Archaisms with those crystal
shards seemingly appearing all over them then Laura with having one
of the larger crystals as well" Elliot continues " so there is a pattern but
what does it mean " says Kurt " no idea its just another thing will have
to figure out once we get everyone back together" says Rean " agreed"
says Elliot. After about half an hour of traveling the group end up seeing
a crossroad one that continued forward and the other which cut off to
the old Draco shrine they visited. It was at this crossroad that the sense
that Rean gets whenever one of those crystals are near by begins to
pound hard against his mind causing him to drop to one knee in pain
" Rean what is it?" asks Altina who was holding on to his unbandaged
arm worried " th...the c..c.rystal i..is r..e.ally close " says Rean struggling
to speak as he holds his head " but your head is covered how is that
possible? " asks Kurt " maybe each crystal has varying levels of
strength?" asks Elliot " or there could be more than one which would
allow them to break his defense" says Altina " what ever it is we should
we should follow those crystals and destroy them" says Laura " agreed"
says Kurt so the group follows down the path that the signal was
coming from. After a few minutes the group finds were the crystal
seemed to find were the beacon was coming from due to the pain in
Rean's head seemingly decrease almost completely but still being
noticeable and something else. " Is that a campsite" asks Rean " who
would camp next to Draco Shrine?" asks Laura but before any of their
questions could be answered Rean immediately detects three similar
presences two of which seemed to be in the cave but one was closer.
Suddenly Rean immediately runs infront of the group and deflects two
shots from a gun with his tachi immediately putting the group on guard
" whose there " says Rean who immediately notices a person in the
shadows that seemingly vanishes " who was that" asks Kurt " no idea"
answers Rean " but their presence did feel familiar" he ponders. The
group then sees two people come from the shrine who begin looking
up to were their person was. The people then look towards the group
and begin to come closer it didn't take much time for the group to
immediately realize who the two were "Estelle, Joshua its been awhile"
says Kurt " well this is a sight i haven't seen a while " says Estelle " it
been a bout a year I'd say" says Joshua " its good see you two again"
says Laura " yeah long time no see" says Elliot " its nice to see that you
two haven't changed much " says Altina " yeah but whose the guy
behind you?" asks Estelle " his posture looks familar but different " says
Joshua " ha ha I guess it has been a year since we've talked " says Rean
who unveils his hood. There is a moment of silence as Joshua and
Estelle take a minute to register the Rean's current face which is
immediately followed with a gasp of suprise " Rean!!?" they both shout
in surprise and was immediately bombarded with questions from
Estelle. After a minute of Rean barely answering Estelle's rambling
questions Joshua steps in and asks a question that seemed to be on
his mind the whole time this was happening " while I'm happy to see
that your back again Rean but one question has been bugging me how
did you two get back together?" he asks looking towards Elliot and
Laura " huh what do you mean?" asks Elliot " well didn't Class 7 disband
and from the what i heard it sounded like it was permanent " says
Joshua Elliot and Laura both look away somberly " that's actually partly
why we are here were trying to rebuild Class 7 " says Rean who slightly
walks in front of them " right we found out that one of our members
were here" says Elliot " we'll you aren't wrong but" says Estelle whose
eyes look towards Joshua who begins to say" she isn't exactly..." " so
you think you can just repair and forget huh?" asks familiar female voice
Rean, Kurt, Altina, Elliot, and Laura look around for a minute then a figure
jumps from were they were the person that attacked them was from
earlier and lands infront of Rean. It takes a bit due to a slight change in
outfit but he immediately recognized face of his former Jaeger turned
Bracer friend though her expression seemed more stressed and upset
then welcoming" Fie im so glad we found" says Rean " the feeling isn't
mutual " she says immediately getting in his face " Fie is there a
problem?" he asks " you bet there is a problem do you know how long I
waited for you!?" she yells " how heartbroken I was when we split up I
lost a family already and because of you I lose the other one!!!" Rean
immediately looks away from her his guilt being too much for him to
see her face Rean wasn't there at the time but he could imagine her
face Fie then furiously looks toward Elliot and Laura" and you two you
have some nerve being together after what happened all because he is
here!" she says pointing to Rean Laura and Elliot merely flinch in
response Rean turns around and begins to say" Fie I understand why
you fee..." but Fie interrupts him " no you don't you don't understand at
all you weren't there you weren't apart of the argument" She yells and
begins to walk away from the group " good luck trying to bring Class 7
back but I won't be apart of the group that broke my heart" says and
jumps back from were she came from and vanishes from view Rean
then sighs somberly " Rean it isn't your fault it's ours" says Laura" no it is
my fault because my stupid selfish decision" Rean says slightly heated "
I knew the decision was foolish I knew the consequences it would have
on you guys but this" he continues "Rean" says Altina Rean immediately
clenches his fist " but even then we can't give up on her even if she
feels like we betrayed we have to at least show her that we are trying to
fix what happened despite the pain she is feeling right now this is the
only way we can help her heal" he says Kurt, Elliot, Laura, and Altina nod
in agreement " its been a year since he has lead them yet they still feel
the strength in his words " says Joshua " yeah that's Rean for ya huh"
says Estelle " Estelle; Joshua is it fine if we stay here for a while?" Rean
asks " sure we have plenty to talk about" answers Joshua " besides it
was getting abit lonely with it just being me, Joshua, and on occasion
Fie" says Estelle " thank you in the mean time we'll explain to you the
other reason we are hear" says Rean so the group headed back to the
camp that Joshua and Estelle had set up in front of Draco Shrine and
started to talk about the other reason for being here.
( Author's note: for those of you who think Fie's current character is too different from her original character please take into consideration that this is a very stressed and heartbroken version of Fie.)
