"Alright!" Sheena said as she jumped down from the roof. "Let's go!"

Sheena and Corrine left the House of Salvation. Sheena smiled, even though she had a lot of responsibility right now, she saw a ray of hope for her and everyone on Tethe'alla.

"Sheena, do you think they're in Palmacosta yet?"

"Hmm… Who knows…? They're probably on their way there." Sheena replied

Corrine looked at Sheena while they both were running. "Um… but we cannot attack them in the city. Maybe we should wait for them and attack them when they're outside the city, right?" Corrine suggested.

"Oh, yeah… I never thought of that… That's a good idea." Sheena said as they both ran down a slope. Then she sniggered. "They're in for a world of hurt!..."

Corrine looked puzzled at Sheena. It has been a long time since Sheena was sniggering like that. "Sheena…? Are you OK?"

Sheena looked at Corrine "Eh… Yeah, o…of course!" No! Sheena sighed. No, isn't that obvious! I'm not okay! I'm having this huge problem dealing with my doubts about killing the Chosen. If I do kill her, Tethe'alla will be saved, but Sylvarant will be destroyed. Think about all those lives that will be sacrificed just so Tethe'alla will be saved… But If I don't kill her then…

"Sheena!" called Corrine. Sheena immediately woke up from her thoughts.

"You should bring out the Sylvarant map and watch where we are!" Corrine said.

"Ah, yes" Sheena said and quickly unfolded the map and looked at her compass. She was quiet for a moment then she looked up. "South" she said and they continued to head for Palmacosta.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What's the matter with you!" A red haired girl shouted "You're going to refuse my request? He's returned to his hometown of Luin!"

Max shakes his head.

"It's not like that. There are giant monsters at sea now. It's dangerous, and I care about you too much to let you come aboard. That's all."

She snorted "Fine. Then you go deliver the letter for me."

"Lyla, no!" Max tried to stop her. The girl's name is probably Lyla. "Why should I have to act as a go-between for my rival in love!"

"Oh, please, stop whining! Fine!" Lyla looked around and then she saw a group "You there, excuse me." She said

Colette looked puzzled. "Us?"

Lyla groaned "Do you see anyone else here?" she sighed "I'd like you to deliver this letter for me to Aifread in Luin."

The group walks up to her.

"We can't deliver it if we can't cross the ocean." Lloyd said.

Lyla smiled. "If you'll deliver it, I'll have Max take you on his boat." She sounded like a sales clerk.

Max shakes his head "You can't be serious!"

"Okay." Lloyd replies.

"Then it's settled. All right, Max?" Lyla said.

Max refuses "I…I'm not going to do it."

Lyla gets pissed off. "You're kidding me! Are you saying it's all right if my letter doesn't make it to Aifread?"

"L…Lyla! No, I mean, it's not…I don't mean that…"

"Then, what do you mean!" Lyla asked Max angrily. "If you keep making a fuss about this, I'll just do this on my own!"

"…Okay, okay. I'll go, I'll go. Dammit…" whispered Max.

Lyla looks annoyed "You should've just said that from the start."

Lyla approaches Lloyd.

"Then, it's in your hands now. Make sure it gets to him."

She hands over a letter and then returns were she came from.

Lloyd looked after her "She's really pushy…"

"…Let me know when you're ready to leave." Max said sadly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It felt like her feet was heavy like giant cement blocks and her feet were very sore and it hurted a lot every step she took.

"Corrine!" Sheena panted. "Can't we rest for a while?..."

Corrine stopped running. "Okay!"

Sheena sat on a rock. She was so tired that she could barely stand. "Finally!" she said.

Corrine looked at her. "You said that you will tell me when you needed a rest."

Sheena got a little embarrassed. Yeah, that's right... GAH! How stupid am I? She sighed and looked at the ground. "Is it far to Palmacosta?"

Corrine jumped up on the rock that Sheena was sitting and headed over the map. She unfolded it.

"Hm… we crossed the bridge for not so long time ago…" We're probably there sometime in the afternoon…" Sheena said. She sighed and leaned back to the tree, a nice breeze passed by.

She slowly closed her eyes and just enjoyed the moment. The wind started to blow and the leaves in the tree were rustling nicely. She took a deep breath and then sighed. Then she opened her eyes and got up. "Hehe…" she laughed. Corrine looked at her. Sheena took a deep breath again. "Hehe… Ah, I'm fully recovered now, time to go!"

They both headed to the direction of Palmacosta.

I have to do this. I cannot save Tethe'alla if I have any doubt. I was sent here on a mission and I'm going to fulfil it! That's a promise that I make and I swear to stick to it!... She smiled and he started to run even faster, for some reason. Corrine looked at Sheena.

"What's the matter?"

Sheena looked at Corrine. "Nothing!" she smiled and continued to run down the path to Palmacosta.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lloyd went on board the boat. "Now we can finally go to the next seal." He said as he looked at the nice view over the ocean.

"Yeah!" Colette said, sounding cheerfully almost as usual, but she looked a bit nervous.

Raine sighed and almost refused to go on board. "I was afraid this journey would force me on a boat sooner or later…"

"…" Kratos looks at Raine.

Max hoist sail and then the boat finally are starting to move.

Genis jumps up and down of excitement. "We're at sea! We're at sea!" he shouts.

Lloyd who looks more worried than excited says; "Settle down, this thing's tiny. Do you want to fall out?"

Max got pissed off. "Gee, I'm so sorry my ship is too "tiny" for you!" He looks really insulted

Colette looks like she's out of balance. "I'm gonna fall!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Heh, just give us your money and we'll let you live!" A blond woman said with a purple witch hat and a cape.

"And also food if you have…" a bandit said.

Sheena stands in a battle pose. "Come and get it if you can!"

The bandit charges at her. She nicely side stepped and went to attack towards his head.

"Pyre seal!" she shouted. The bandit blew away and hit his back on a tree. The magic user was to busy concentrating to notice that her comrade was hurt. Sheena charged at her, just before she could attack the magic user raised her rod.

"End of the line!" she said and a purple circle of runes surrounded her.

"Guardian seal!" Sheena shouted and she was surrounded by a green field protected her from the magic users attack. Then once again she started to charge against the magic user. 1, 2, 3…

"Get ready for this!" Sheena aimed her attack.

"Power seal!" 2 blue lights swirled around the magic user for a short time. Sheena quickly continued. "Pyre seal!" Sheena smiled as she watched the magic user blow away in an explosion of her cards. But she wasn't smiling for long. A sudden, shooting pain from her left arm, she quickly looked at her left arm and saw a dagger. Then she looked around and saw the bandit.

"Eat this!" he said and stabbed her right arm.

Sheena ignored the pain for now and started to attack the bandit. Keep on hitting him…Don't stop!

"Py!--"

A rod hit Sheena in the head. And then the bandit saw his opportunity. He charged his dagger at Sheena's neck. But Sheena was faster. She bent down and attacked his legs.

"Pyre seal!" she shouted.

. Then she quickly turned around and interrupted the magic users spell. "Pyre seal!" she knocked her down to. Then she holds a card and left it standing in the air. Some weird writing appears around her in white circles.

"I summon thee…" she said. Then she opened her eyes and grabbed the card and then lifted it in the air. "Let's go, Corrine!" Sheena said. And her small friend appeared and hit the bandit on his neck. He falls to the ground shouting in pain, Sheena quickly takes him out. He probably broke his neck from Corrine's attack. Sheena swiftly returned to attack the magic user. She raised her rod and was about to bash Sheena with it on her head, but she was faster and knocked the rod out from her hand. Now the magic user was completely defense less.

"Pyre seal!" Sheena shouted and the magic user was knocked out.

"Heh, that was pathetic." Sheena said as she rummaged in the magic user's bag.

She took out an orange gel and put it in her bag. Then she went looking in the bandit's bag. Just some uncooked rice, Sheena thought. She put that in her bag too and then she and Corrine left the area and headed to Palmacosta.
