Lina: /Yells/ NOW ON WITH THE FIC!!!
Chapter 2: Proposition and a Weird Night
I was kicking, screaming, and making threats if they didn't let me go. Every guy was plugging their ears and the sorceress was being annoyed with me. I only annoyed a few people online and this girl named Shewolf was my number one person who always gets annoyed with me. Maybe Lina should be next to her.
"We're here," said the old man's voice, and everybody stopped. I heard Lina and Gourry making excited moans; and when I turned my head, I was amazed at the site.
What stood in front of us was incredible mansion that was painted brown and had a few green vines on it as well. It was two stories and really wide. I thought it was the biggest house in the village. Except for the light house.
I estimated that the house had 30 rooms in its structure. But the kid that accused me turned to me and said, "Actually, the MANSION has 50 rooms in it, thief." Then, he stuck his tongue out at me.
I started to growl slightly and thinking what I should do to him when he falls asleep. Then, I realized that would already make me in bigger trouble then I already was. I was a goody two-shoes and I couldn't hurt the child, even if he was being a brat to me.
The guards walked over to Lina and said, "Give us the criminal so we can bring her to justice." Then, one of them grabbed my shoulder; Lina threw a fireball at him.
"Ohhh no." she said, "She's mine, I defeated her; now PAY UP!!!!!!!" The sorceress looked really fiery and started to make a couple more fireballs. The guards hold up their swords in defense from the short-tempered girl. But Gourry stood between his partner and the police.
"Uhhh, guys, can we all just get along?" he asked them, as he started to sweat. I admired his courage to standing up to his partner. But the swordsman's intelligence was very very very VERY low. Lower than dirt.
Before a battle could start, the old man turned to us and said, "The swordsman of light is correct. We can't shed any blood at this moment of crisis." Then, he walked through the opened gate and into a forest.
Everybody stopped what they were doing and started to follow him. I tried to run away now, but this time; Gourry picked me up and gave me a piggy-back ride.
'Ohhh, great. Another guy who thinks I'm still a child.' I thought, as I remember that Xelloss guy who kissed me on the forehead.
I didn't try to fight back because I was too amazed at the yard's beauty. I said earlier it was like a forest, but this forest had creatures I read in Fantasy books, and saw in movies. I turned my head when I heard a branch cracked, only too see a dragon. But not one of those cute ones in TV shows. This was an advance modal of a REAL dragon. I mean, REAL dragon.
We came up to the house and the inside of it was weirder. The main hall was now like a jungle, full of weirder creatures then before. The swordsman still carried me through the dirt and water of the place. And if I thought what I was seeing, Lina might have been glaring at me.
We made it too a room that had dried dirt and a skylight through the roof. It was also a clear patch, without trees or anything; except for a really long table in the middle of the room.
The kid and old guy walked over to the back side of the room and sat there. The swordsman and sorceress stayed where they were and sat down. Only, Gourry put me down before he sat.
The old man signaled the guards to moved away from us, and they took all the exits to the room. 'Great, now how am I supposed to escape?!' I thought, angrily.
Since it was boring to sit around and wait til you're up, I listened to the group's conversation. It seem they were talking about why the old guy summoned them here.
"Well, as you know. I'm the village elder, Chapa. And the child who accused the girl of stealing the sword is my grandson, Tao." said the old guy. Then, the kid stood up and said, "I am also the temporary mayor of Earth Village."
Lina and Gourry looked at them, wide-eyed, and yelled, "THAT KID IS THE MAYOR!!!!" I also looking at the kid and thinking, 'That is total bull because he is younger than me.'
The kid growled and sat down, puffing out his cheeks in the process. Chapa sighed and looked back at the Blondie and Red head. "That brings us to our problem." he said, while sighing again, "This village is the mining core for this part of the Outer Realm (New name for what the people called it in Slayers Try) and since we are rich in so many ores, we can make our own money from scratch.
"But then, a new enemy came and told all the bandits he knows to ravage the villages in this part. Every crook stole ancient books, food, supplies, and magic material. But what makes me sick the most was that they took our precious sword, The Mythrill Blade."
"The Mythrill Blade?" said both Gourry and Lina. I also said it too, but quiet so nobody would hear me. I thought Mythrill was a type of ore use for synthesis in Video Games and such. I didn't know that it existed here too. I was beginning to think that this world might be a video game
"Yes, the Mythrill Blade…" Chapa continued. "A sword known to both Mages and Swordsmen. It was rumored to control all the elements known to man. Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, Thunder, Ice, Metal, Wood, Light, and the most dangerous, Darkness."
Line stood there, wondering who would have taken it if it were a powerful blade. Gourry was still in his dumb pose. I on the other hand, was coming down with both a headache and heartache. (I'm not going to tell you how that Heartache started. --;;; ).
"Now, back to our story…" the village elder said, as both of them turned. "Tao's older brother, Hakuto; who is now 16 years old, was supposed to be mayor on his birthday. But when this powerful blade was stolen, he vowed to find it whatever means necessary. It has now been a month since we last saw him, and he still hasn't return to us."
"What happen to him?" Lina asked, as she climbed onto the table. I smiled and knew it was the power of the story. When anyone reads, watches, or listens to a really good story, they want to know what happens next. Did this Hakuto person die, got kill, got sold to a bunch of gypsy? Those are some of the possibilities that went through the sorceress's head.
"Might been captured and sold in the slave market," said Chapa, "But that's beside the point. We need both of you to find Bandits and search their camps. We need to know if our blade was stolen or brought to the leader of these vile creatures."
Lina nodded her head and said, "So, you want me to find if this Mythrill Blade /cough/ fake /cough/ and bring it back to your town."
Tao and Chapa nodded their head and the sorceress smile got wider. She took out an acubus and started to calculate what she and Gourry are going to get out of this job. After she was done, she slid it over to both if the village leaders. All the guards that were blocking the exit went over to their side of the table. I stayed there, not because they could see me missing, but because I felt something else in that forest other then the dragon.
"So, Lina, how much did you ask for this time?" the swordsman asked her, as Lina giggled. She lean over to his ear and whispered something. I didn't bother to know what it was because I could still sense that evil presence in the woods. And whatever it was, it was coming towards the house.
Chapa turned back to the couple, smiling. "Deal…" he said, as Tao ordered a guard to get some gil. Lina smiled a few moments later, as a bag full of gold was sitting in front of her. She took the bag and grabbed Gourry along too.
"Come on, Sweet heart, we have some Bandit hunting to do in the morning!" she sang, as they both walked out of the room. I sighed and stood up, also beginning to walk out of the place. But before I did, I heard the old man called out my name.
"Emma…" he said, as I turned to face him. Chapa smiled and threw the sword at the, the same sword that got me in trouble in the first place.
"You'll need it on the road ahead of you path…" the village elder said, as the kid pouted and the guards looking confused. I shrugged and started to exit when I realized the pain from my head and heart was gone. I also realized that the things I was sensing in the forest was gone.
I smiled and walked out of the house, and then the front yard of the mansion. I was thinking about all the people I met so fair. Then, it came to me like a ton of bricks.
"Can the Hakuto I met at that Slave Camp be the same Hakuto I heard earlier?" I asked myself. Then, I smiled and said, "Nahhh…"
The Hakuto I met didn't look like a rich guy in the first place. But looks can be deceiving to the eye. Right?
It was nighttime in Earth Village and I was tired, hungry, and in need of a place to stay. All of the shops were closed and every house was already in bed. I could have slept in that weird light house but something told me to stay away from it. Like a person or something else.
I was about to give up hope when I saw the same inn that Lina, Gourry, and I fought in; with a light inside it. That could have meant that it was still open!
I ran inside and opened the door to get my room, when I saw the couple that I met earlier there. Lina was still not happy about biting her, and Gourry was still dumbfounded as usual. Lina walked over to me and deathglared me in the face.
"YOU AGAIN?!" she yelled, as veins started to popped out of her skin. "LAST TIME I SAW YOU THE GUARDS WERE STILL AT THAT CRZY HOUSE BEING ARRESTED BY THEM!!!!"
Gourry ran over to us and tried to calm his girlfriend down. As for myself, I tried to keep on a straight face. It's not easy to do that sort of thing when you are being yelled at by some crazy flat-breasted girl.
Lina pounded Gourry a few times, before noticing the blade Chapa gave me on my belt. "Ohhh, and now the thief stole the sword again. I can't believe that you out of all people can be so stupid!"
"At least I know about the Keyblade." I muttered, before Lina punched me in the stomach. "DON'T BACK TALK ME!!" she yelled, before Gourry grabbed her.
"Calm down, honey. She's just a kid." He said, before the sorceress whacked him too. My eyes started to turned fire when he called me a kid. 'KID?! I'M NO KID! I'M 15 YEARS OLD!" I thought, as I about to say something back. But when I almost did, they were gone.
"What happen?" I muttered, as I turned to the inn keeper, who was washing some beer cups. He was like the guy in all RPG games, only his hair was raven black.
"Easy, they left after she pounded him. She said she didn't want to sleep in the same inn with a thief." he said, while placing the cup on the table. "So, they might be going out of this town and camping in the Outer Woods."
'Outer Woods?' I thought, as I remembered the old guy's words. "You'll need it on the road ahead of your path," his words echoed in my mind. What did he mean by it? Did he mean by that?
I started to walk towards the inn keeper, when I saw a picture that caught my eye. It had weird picto symbols of a demon and an angel joining together to overcome something that looked like the Guardian in the Kingdom Hearts game. I couldn't describe it because… it was so beautiful.
I looked at the guy and pointed to the portrait. "What is this?" I asked him. The inn keeper looked at my funny, and then he started to laugh.
"Poor poor child," he stated, as I turned anger again, "That is the history of how we couldn't get to other worlds anymore." I stood there, looking confused. "What do you mean?" I asked him.
"Easy, girl, the angel and the demon both symbolize the light and darkness of each world. If the light flames out, chaos will be conflicted on this land. If the darkness goes away, all will be boring." The man stopped laughing and turned to me. "All creature depend on each other, Mazokus depend on humans and other living creatures to get food. Human depend on Mazokus and Dragons to choose sides. Dragons depend on the humans to help them. And you don't want to know what the Mazoku and Dragons need from each other."
I stood there, looking confused. He stood up and said, "Sit down and I'll tell you the story." I listen to him, and sat on one of the empty chairs. He took a brief moment to cough before he began.
"Long ago, there lived a group of people called the creators. These creators made their own realms and worlds because they felt lonely in their own dark void. Two of them, one named the Lord of Nightmares and the other named Jenova (Final Fantasy 7 character, which I don't own either. I'm using this in the story because Kingdom Hearts is a mix of Final Fantasy and Disney); her sister, created two races known as Ancients and Normals.
"Now, Normals were regular races. You know; humans, dragons, and the demons known as Mazokus. But the Ancients were very powerful creatures and were two of the Ancients were Ancient Dragons and Ancient Demons.
"Some Ancient Dragons went to this world and made a colony here. While some of the others migrated to other worlds and made their youngling's grown. Now, one child that went by the name of Sora (Character from Kingdom Hearts), who was half Ancient Dragon and half Ancient Demon flew away from his herd and met girl, who was half Ancient Demon and half Ancient. (Now, I'm confusing you.)
"Both of them got along just fine before some humans came and tore them apart. Sora watched as his lover suffered her death and he was about to suffered as well in the tournament that was coming up. He almost died until a princess saved him and married him. Then, the halfling went after Jenova and sealed her away because she was going to destroy the girl. And a lot of stuff happened and we lost our way of going to other worlds.
"And that's what happen to our light connecting our realms. Now any questions?" I sat there, looking even more confused than when I got to this crazy place.
"Man, you are so weird." I said, and he pointed upstairs. "Now, get up there, little miss. Because you look tired." He said.
I smiled and started to walk up the stairs. I came onto the 2nd floor and found a room that nobody was using. I ran into it and plopped onto the bed, smiling my biggest smile.
"This is the life…" I said, before remembering about the stuff back home. My mom and dad, my sister who keep bothering me, the school I hang out at, all my video games and DVDs. Even my friends I roleplay on the internet.
I started to think about Aja, Kit, Shoryu, Solid, Sarah, Kairyu, Heat, Suiyeee, Sango, Baha, and even Aza. (I'm using the names I call them on Neopets, and no they own themselves and their original screen names only). UGH! I was thinking about the person I hated in my mind. Then, I closed my eyes and saw a spiked-hair Brunette laying next to me.
He had blue eyes and was wearing a robe on his body. The boy moved closer to me and lean in my left ear. "Remember me…" he said, before going onto my lips and…
My fantasy got ruined by a bunch of drunks singing. I stood up from the bed and walked out the door. I leaned over the ledge and screamed, "YOU BETTER BE QUIET OR I'LL CALLED THE COPS!"
That made them stopped singing. I smiled and went back into my bed. I started to fall asleep again til I heard a male's voice saying, "I am always there for you."
I opened my eyes when whoever said that, but shrugged it off. "Tomorrow is another weird day here." I said, before falling asleep. And I was right, it WAS a another weird day here.
