Chapter 7: The Worlds Below
Kratos came out of the portal unharmed. He looked around at the landscape. It seemed pretty safe.
"Well. I'm here." Kratos started off toward the nearest town. "Now what do I do?"
After a while, he came across the small town of Palmacosta. He decided that, since he was here, he would need provisions. So he went into the town and went shopping. He bought the necessaries for HP and TP increasing recipes like Sandwiches and Ramen. He also bought the fixings for Steak and Miso Stew in case he needed status recovery. Sylvarant seemed placid, but some of the monsters he could do without. While he was shopping, he bought a change of clothes. He couldn't very well wander all over Sylvarant wearing his Cruxis costume, could he? He stayed the night in a rather expensive inn.
"Who in their right mind would charge 300 Gald for one night?" he mumbled as he headed upstairs to his room. "Maybe 100 or 200 even, but 300?" He unlocked the door and fell face-first onto his bed. He was asleep in an instant.
Meanwhile, Yuan had come out in Tethe'alla. He was somewhere near Gaoracchia Forest, from the look of all the trees. He looked around. There was nothing but open space. He headed off away from the forest. It didn't take him long to realize that Kratos was not in this area. "Damn it!" Yuan opened another portal and stepped through, hoping that this time, he would come out in Sylvarant.
The next morning, Kratos stood in front of the full-length mirror in his hotel room, straightening the two belts on his new outfit. Finally satisfied with them, he raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly. Purple really looked good on him. He attached his sword and walked out of the hotel. Leaving Palmacosta, he took out the map he had also bought the day before. He looked at it for a while, then put it away and headed for Izoold.
The small port town was busy when he got there. Kratos walked around for a while. He bought a shield and some gloves at the weapons shop and stocked up on seafood. Later that day, he went down to the shore and let the warm ocean breeze play with his auburn hair. He closed his eyes and let the sea air wash over him, enjoying the calm that he would have never had if he had stayed on Derris Kharlan.
Sorry its so short. I ran out of things for him to do. Please Review!
