I don't own anything, except Emma, Sam, and the Mythrill Blade… Also, note that I'm using other reference from Anime/games because this is kinda… Never mind, I'll get on with it.
Chapter 7: Escape and a Raid?
Okay, as far as you know, I was transported to another world, met the craziest people, almost got toasted by a dragon, and was almost got a knife in me by some cute; but really freaky, guy. And now what was I going to do about this is escape from the place by using the old method. And what I mean by the old method is using bed sheets to escape the mansion.
Once I had enough bed sheets to climb down, I looked outside to see if the coast was clear. It was, but I shook my head because it was raining. And who would want to escape with wet hair?
Anyway, I jumped out the window, grabbed the sheets, and I started to jumped down like a Mountain Climber would do when he was done with a mountain. Well, might have hit a snagged in my plan. In fact, the sheets came untied and I landed on my butt a few feet above the ground.
"Owies…." I said, in a very low voice so no one could hear. If you want to make an escape, you have to be silent as a…. Mouse. I got up and started to walked away, before I heard someone behind me.
"HI MEW MEW-CHAN!" yelled Sam's voice, as I turned around to look at her. I was so angry that I gave her "I-am-going-to-kill-you-if-you-don't-be-a-good-idiot-and-be-quiet" look. But right now, I'll be quiet.
She walked up to me, having an umbrella above her and wearing some new clothes now. Her clothes consisted of brown, flared pants; a purple cape; some leather boots; and a blue shirt that had a flame insignia in the middle of it. I think the flame meant that she belong to a clan or guild, like most people in the medieval world.
The phoenix handed me an umbrella and said, "You shouldn't be out here, Mew Mew…. I heard there might be a raid going to happen anytime soon." I stood quiet, not wanting to answer that question. But I think she knew the answer anyway.
"Oh… I see…" Sam said, before taking a step back. "That means you need something to protect you in case the raid comes." Then, she pulled out my temporary sword and smirked.
I blinked before quickly grabbing it and putting the sword around my belt. "And now you're going to tell me where to find the Claire Bible thingy…" I said, before she nodded like an idiot.
"Yes, how did you know?" she asked, as I rolled my eyes in response. "Just tell me where the freaky Claire Bible book thingy is…" I demanded, as I sighed. This was going to be a long explanation.
"Well… From what I heard, the Claire Bible is going to be auction in a bandit town called Racketeer Town. That town was created after the bandits started to loot this region and it's know for the crooks, bandits, rogues, thieves, and other low lives that come here to steal…. You might want to bring help along… But I know it's somewhere near the road to Fire Village"
I sighed and said, "Now, you're going to tell me about the Claire Bible…" For a girl with phoenix powers and magic, she sure was predictable.
"Okay… Since you asked… The Claire Bible is a book that has unlimited knowledge to this entire world, all worlds, and even the universe. In fact, it contains every spell, potion, and cures ever to be known…. But it is also the key to the past. And that's the thing I'm trying to unlock…"
"The past?" I asked, blinking a little bit. Sam nodded and started to explain again.
"The past to all pasts…. The reasons for what happen 5,000 years ago… When my race was destroyed…" she said, looking like she was about to cry. I sighed and started to pat her like a big sibling would do for a little one.
She choked and started to explain again. "But it might hold secrets to your past as well…" she said, "I think the Water Lord was around 10,000 years…."
I blinked at Sam, kind of confused by what the phoenix meant by my past. I knew who I was… I think. I mean, I was at that time and age to wonder about my life.
"Okay, Sam…" I said, before giving her a straight face, "I really need to go now…" I turned to leave, but Sam grabbed my hand and gave something to me. I looked to see what was giving to me and saw Sam's umbrella. I gave her a weird look.
"A promise… To see if you can return it to me someday…" she said, before taking out a handkerchief and she was almost in tears. I sighed and I said something to her.
"I'll return it… I promise…" Then, I turned around and started to run out of the property and town, wondering if I can return or not.
(I can't believe I made that a little bit Shoujo-ai… /Bows/ Please don't sue.)
I was in the forest, on the way to Racketeer town, which was somewhere near the road. I was also looking for something out of place, a dirt road, a rock in the middle of nowhere, anything that was out of place. This is because I think the bandits might have someway to know where the town was instead of using a map or something.
That's when I heard a set of footsteps. I looked around to see where they were coming from and I couldn't, because the rain was making some noise.
The footsteps sounded like they were coming from behind me. I turned around to see an army of zombies that were coming from the Fire Village. This was not the thing I wanted to fight because I hate Zombies!
I sighed and said, "That must be the raid party that Sam was talking about…" Then, I took out my sword and pointed towards them, knowing that they'll fight me if I wanted to or not. I smirked and thought, 'Bring it on…'
The undead saw me and started to charge at me. That's when I charged at them and started to use some sword moves I have seen in Asian fighting movies. So far, it was going to well… Except for the part about when I slashed at one, two more take its place.
After several minutes of fighting, I was tired and beat. No matter how many I killed, they always keep coming back. I growled as they started to come at me.
"Don't you dare come close to me!" I yelled, as I put my sword up to scare them off. That didn't work, so I thought I was doom… Until something happen that was amazing.
A flash of lightning came down and the sword sucked it up. As it did, the sword turned yellow and sparks came out of it.
"What the…?" I asked myself, before looking at the Zombies. I snarled and yelled, "DIE!" Then, I swung my sword at ground. The earth in front of me exploded and started to head towards the Zombies, which got destroyed by the blast.
My knees fell to the ground, as I started to breathe heavily. Whatever I did, it reminded me of the time I defeated Filia using the water like that. And then, I got an idea… What if the sword I was holding was the legendary Mythrill Blade. And I had it under Lina's nose all the time. 'No! That stupid brat Tao said it was the Mayor's sword! They can't be the same… Can it?' I thought, but my thoughts were interrupted by another noise.
I looked to see someone in the bushes and I got up. Then, I ran towards the bushes, put my hands in them, and started to grabbed whoever was making that. I got something and pulled it out of the bushes to see what it was.
It was a old, short guy with a gray beard and hair, brown eyes, and he was wearing robes like he was a magician or something. And I think he didn't like me because he was giving me the evil eye.
"WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!" he yelled, as he was trying to get out of my grip. But I really had a pretty good grip on him, so he really couldn't escape.
"What I'm doing! What I'M doing? Look mister, old man! I have been through a lot over the past days. First, I was in a battle. Then, I was framed because some twerp though I stole his old man's sword! Next, I got into a fight with a really scary dragon! After that, I was almost, and I mean ALMOST frozen by a crazy lady. And Finally, I was BEING TOUCHED BY ZOMBIES! AND NOW I AM GOING TO MISS THAT AUCTION INRACKETEERTOWN!" I yelled at him, while shaking the old windbag at the same time.
He got irritated by this, but he had a calm face and said, "You're not going to miss it. It's going to be in the next 3 hours and Racketeer Town is about 0.4 miles South East of here." I smirked at this and said, "Really, thanks…"
"You won't be thanking me just yet… I was sent to find you and give you a message…." He said, while still smirking big. My eyes widened at this as I asked, "What's the message…?"
"Have a very loooooooong nap." He said, and just like that, a sharp pain pierce through my shoulder. I let go of the man, fell to my knees and grabbed my shoulder. And as soon as I did that, the old guy started to laugh.
"The arrow that was shot at you had irrkare poison in it. Irrkare poison numbs the body and in about 3 hours, you'll die… And also in those 3 hours, I'm going to get the Claire Bible and finally, create my ultimate chirmera!" he monologue, and just like that he left. And that old freak was laughing like happy kid.
I growled as I tried to move, but I couldn't feel my arms or legs, or any part of my body. 'Damn… This is it, Emma… Not only aren't you going to get home, but you are going to die either from the rain or the arrow lodged in your arm.' I thought, before closing my eyes. I really really felt tired and wanted to go to sleep right now.
That's when I heard a roar and instantly woke up. I tried to look around, but thanks to the poison, I can't feel my neck either. Then, a figure with wings landed and started to walk towards me. I kind of thought he might be an angel or something, but I took no chances.
"Stand back…" I said, feeling that my throat was getting sore. The figure sighed and continued to move towards me.
I growled and yelled for my defense, "STAND BACK! I'm warning you!" And just like that, the figure ran up to me and I blacked out.
Me-Dun Dun Duuuun! Finally I updated again! Thanks for Gerao-A for reviewing and saying this Fic is getting really cool! Also, I like to congratulate them for finishing their story, Sylvia.

Me-Nope, that's it… /Starts thinking of next chapter/
