Tatsu: Well, I think I'll update this now. Yes, I am an avid Senel/Chloe fan. I will say it many times. The reason? It just fits. Senel/Shirley? Umm… no. After acting like brother and sister for like… ever, you can't just change that on a whim. Girls are weird that way. It's like that Keitaro/Kanako thing, and that was much worse. This is still bad though.

I'm still trying to resist the urge to turn this into a Senel/Chloe, but I think I have an Idea that'll help. An OC! Because if she can't have Senel, it's gotta be someone, right?

As for the others, I dunno what I'll do with them. They'll probably show up too…

Anyways, I've waited long enough. Time to start this thing!

By the way…. Jay/Moses is wrong. I don't do Yaoi. So don't ask for it.

Chapter 3: Departure

The days of Norma's absence grew into a week. By then, everyone had begun to get a little concerned. At first they hadn't cared, as the disposal of monsters had taken most of the week. But the three days of nothing had simply made it all the worse.

It didn't help that Grune was gone, either.

"You never did tell us where she said she was going." Jay said, eyeing Senel. He had been unusually quiet through the whole thing, and seemed much more distant than usual. Chloe believed he was planning something.

"She didn't say." He responded simply, and the others sighed. That would be just like Norma to them.

"Either way, we should've received at least another letter by now." Shirley said, extending her hand to the others as though the idea was open to discussion.

"Bubbles can be rather careless." Moses said, seemingly unaffected by all of this.

"Still, where could she have gone? There are too many to search them all." Will said, also putting his hand out.

"You mean we're going to look for her?" Chloe said, surprised and looking up at the others. Their looks told her all they needed to know.

"My guesses…" Jay said, his know-it-all manner back in place, "Would be the where the Everlight is." This was everyone's main guess. "I say me and Shirley check it out, with the stupid bandit." Moses immediately stood up to argue, but Will silenced him with a look.

"That seems like a plan. In the meantime, I'll look after things in the town. Senel, you and Chloe should check the villages. Oresoren, Ferines, even Port-On-Range will do." Will said, elaborating. Once again, the absence of two was noticeable. Despite this, everyone nodded.

"Do you really think we can find her?" Shirley asked, as the three entered the Crystal Forest.

"No." Jay said simply.

"How can you say that, Jay?" Moses replied, bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet. "We know she's somewhere, right?"

"Senel's hiding something." Jay responded thoughtfully.

Doesn't miss a beat, does he. Shirley thought, also noticing the change in Senel's behavior. "Well, we can only hope for the best."

"I suppose that's true." Jay answered, and they continued on.

"Coolidge, you plan on extending this trip, don't you." Chloe said, as Senel walked up to her at the entrance to Weritas Beacon.

Senel looked up. Just like the bag on his back, Chloe had a small bag that looked as though it were packed for a journey. "Chloe…"

"I know you better than that." She smiled, tapping her forehead. "And I'm going with you."

Senel sighed, shaking his head in defeat. "Well, it's useless to argue with you."

"Exactly, so let's get going." She said, walking past him and onto the road. "I left a note for everyone."

"So did I." Senel said, smiling slightly. "You know that I have no clue where to start though, right?"

Chloe shook her head. "Only too well, Senel." He smiled at the use of his name. "I think it's best to start with the front and move from there. Port-On-Range is our best bet."

Senel nodded. "Alright then, let's get going."

Will looked out, sighing at the sight of the two leaving. "Looks like things are going to get a lot more complicated around here…"

"Father! Where are you! Why aren't you home! I cooked a good meal for you!" Came the voice of Harriet. Will cringed, and mysteriously, everyone else on the street had vanished. That was the terror of Harriet's cooking.

"C-coming…" Will called, and plodded away, slumping his shoulders.

"Look, I know you don't want to, but you have to listen to me sometimes, okay?" A young man shouted angrily at a younger girl, who were both red in the face. All the sailors were on the deck in fear as the two shouted from opposite ends of the ship.

"Why should I listen to you? You got thrown out of the knights!"

"You never got accepted into them!"

"So what?"

"Look, I'm older, so you have to listen to me!"

"Why should I?!?!"

"Cause otherwise we'll get killed on the Legacy! Come on Hailey!"

"No way! IN fact, I'm embarrassed to be related to someone who has an 'L' missing from his name, Wil!"

"You are being a total…" The man trailed off, looking into the distance.

"What is it?" The girl asked, their argument forgotten, as she approached him.

"We're almost there. The Legacy." He said, pointing. She looked, and her smile grew with each second. The sailors, now safe that their destination was in sight, went back to their duties, quickly preparing for landing.

"I wonder how Coolidge and Valens are doing…" The boy mused, smiling slightly to himself.

"We'll find out soon. And stop talking out loud." Hailey answered.

"Oh… that was out loud?"

A loud sigh was heard.

Tatsu: Well, that's it. I know, my chapters are short, but it's really hard coming up with stuff to work with. This isn't like my FE fic. I'm not integrating this stuff into the chapters with extras. I'm creating a whole new story. Grah.

By the way, in case you don't know already, I don't own Legendia, or most of these characters. Also, this contains spoilers for the whole game that may pop up here and there. hopefully, I'll see you again soon! I'll try to update sooner this time! Please review though! That's how I get my motivation!
