The Court Case
Disclaimer: Honestly, if I owned this, would my ideas be stories? I would make them into games! Yeah!
A/N: Off of the very long chapter. Many new things have been introduced, and many more will be so. There are more than three continents, however, those are in the making. Oh yeah, this has nothing to do with the story, but I' m answering a review in these ' s. So, soulsactum...there was no adress to get where to go it just showed ". ." without the " " 's. Sorry. Anyway ,readers... The one advisable to remember now is East Tahjra, because the story may tie into that. For now, though focus on the trial, too. I like putting the drinks people have in this story. I guess it could be a symbol that the societies are advancing or something…Let's say that. This is more of a side chapter. Nothing major happens here, except you learn something about the humans of East Tahjra…
Chapter 4: Other than the Court…
"Ahhhhhhh," Sheena sighed as she drank her Palmacoasta White. The female ninja, dressed in a loose orange kimono with a slackly ties belt at the waist, was enjoying her days off as she had no more court things to worry about. Except the fact that it was in a week and six days. That worried her. One day had passed, and Sheena had learned a lot. Even though she knew her research was over, she still was crazy about it, looking at things that had been viewed countless times before.
Crimsonia's thoughts were different, however. It had been five years since she had been to East Tahjra, and she was beginning to miss it. She knew she had to help Sheena, but still…she did want to go back. Sheena was a Summoner, so the Summon Spirit of the Sky would be able to form a pact with her. However, somebody else also wanted to make that pact. Crimsonia herself. The red haired maiden did not want another dispute with another friend. Perhaps they didn't have to go to East Tahjra.
Sheena then thought of something and said, "The Summon Spirit of the Sky, huh? Hasn't anyone formed a pact with her yet?"
"Ah…no." Crimsonia blushed, "But someone is preparing to. You may have to fight them if you want to form a pact."
"That shouldn't be a problem!" Celsius appeared randomly, "Sheena has formed lots of pacts now, and kept her vows! She'll certainly beat whoever the other person is!"
"You must be warned, however." Crimsonia said, "The humans of the Secluded Lands know magic. That gift may not have spread here, but it is one of the things we hold dear. It is partly why the Secluded Lands are unknown. People would get jealous and start war because we have something the do not. I know some magic, low level but efficient."
"Like what?" Sheena questioned, curiosity getting the best of her.
"I know one high level spell, actually." the woman from East Tahjra admitted, "Indignation. I also know Firework, a fire spell where tiny colorful explosions hit the enemy. And I also know Spade Clash, a spell where a black spade hits my foe. That is it, so far…"
"I'm sure you'll learn more!" Sheena encouraged, "I know some spells now, too! Not many, but still…"
Astra then appeared, "Miss Sheena! We have repaired your blade!" She showed the katana to Sheena, it looked the same, except at the bottom of the blade there was an insignia of a flaming star. It was hardly noticeable, but beautifully carved.
"Thank you." Sheena said, "Thank you very much."
Astra nodded. Crimsonia then got an idea, "I know it's not much like me…but why don't we, meaning us and the Summon Spirits, have a party here? Would it not be fun?"
"That's a great idea!" Sheena clapped. Her elbow collided into the glass she set down, which caused it to splatter all over Astra.
"Sorry!" Sheena yelled, wiping off Astra's dress.
"It's okay." Astra smiled. She cast a spell to clean off her dress then began to laugh. In the background, nobody noticed Cresenta and Sola appear.
"I haven't seen her have so much fun in ages." Sola nodded.
"Indeed." Cresenta agreed, "Astra usually is so solemn. She must trust Sheena and Crimsonia."
The three Summon Spirits consisting of Sola, Cresenta, and Celsius disappeared as the girls went out. They soon got to a new shop called, "Classiux" The three read the description, "For all your clothing needs. NO HALF-ELFS ALLOWED."
Crimsonia ripped the sign off. A worker saw her do this and ran over to her yelling, "What do you think you're doing!"
"That's extremely discriminative." Crimsonia stated, slicing up the sign.
"You idiot! That costs money! You cannot come in here! Leave before I get the Manager!"
"I am so scared" Astra said sarcastically, "Surely the 'Manager' you speak of is not touched in the head?"
"No." the person replied.
"I am sure he is." Astra replied, holding up a hand, "To be as stupid as this, trying to challenge three women, whom I may add, are stronger than you yourself."
The man called the manager. He was a very strong, and yelled, "You destroyed our sign. That cost 167,000 Gald! Leave!"
Sheena stepped into the store, "Oh my Martel, look at me!" The manager took a swing at her. Crimsonia shot a Demon Fang at him, "Do you have any courtesy! Men are supposed to be polite to women, are they not? Now here!" She thrust a wood plank at the man, and yelled, "This is just as good! I will even write it out for you!"
She wrote out in neat cursive penmanship, "Classiux. Clothing fit for anyone." After this she yelled, "We're leaving!" And so they did. Crimsonia was in a sort of bad mood, but she soon felt better by the comfort of Sheena and Astra. They soon wandered around randomly, ending up at a spot far behind Zelos' mansion. It was an atrium with a garden set around it. The water blew out from the fountain beautifully and peacefully. Sheena noticed two people fighting at blazing speed. They were Dialmond and Lapisa, jumping and parrying each other's attacks.. Neither seemed to be winning, but they were both fighting out nonetheless. The two then noticed Sheena and her friends. They stopped fighting for a minute. Dialmond stepped up to Sheena and Astra.
"If it is not much trouble…and it may be, since we are opposing forces…but may I have the honor of battling you, that Summon Spirit and Crimsonia in that order, please?"
Lapisa came close to her sister, "Or actually, may we both fight at the same time. Us fighting you and Sheena, then us separating and taking turns to fight Crimsonia?"
Sheena was skeptical but she replied, "It's okay with me. But why don't you want Crimsonia to team up with me?"
"It's okay." Crimsonia said, "We've fought before. You two go at it."
Astra raised her scythe, "It is okay with me. Shall we start?"
A/N: Okay, another chapter finished. Read on. Also, I think I will make a profile chart somewhere…a new story, but it would be a chart. Hmmm…
