Back again. I was pretty evil in this chapter…and ever time I write a chapter it gets longer and longer each time. But I can't tell if that a bad or good thing. Well aside from if Jet was a real person he would kill me by now, especially after this chapter. Acts like she didn't do anything wrong; and thanks for the review again Jessie.
Uh…Flees seeing two people.
Jet: where…is she! Someone getting shot when I find her!
Sara: hehe why did someone, get picked on again in this chapter?
Jet: you didn't even read it did you? Glares
Sara: uh…nope!
Jet: …hands some papers to Sara
Sara: What the hell is this! glares at jet
Jet: Hey…! Don't look at me like that! It wasn't my idea! waves his hands in front of him self
Sara: But I do believe you we're…the one doing this right? Glares
Jet: Uh…it was the writer idea! Jet Flees
Sara: Get your ass back here Enduro! runs after him
Disclaimer: I don't own wild arms 3 and if I did…Fan girls would kill me.
Chapter 19: Searching in the Sand
We headed out of the ruin. But I could tell Virginia was still having trouble believe she really saw her father. Well…she did have the right to; I mean how many years…was the last time she saw him? If…she was 8 years old back then…maybe it had really been ten years? Then maybe uncle really did know something about the robed people too! Well I guess…I shouldn't be guessing about things like this. It too bad…I couldn't ask him anything. But I will get answers one day; I'm sure of it!
But then that one day is I have no idea. I slowly looked toward her. I could tell she was still taking it hard. Even if she was trying to hide her feelings; I could still tell. "I'm a drifter…right now, not his daughter…" I remember her saying that. Yes, she was right. As a drifter…a mission comes before your feeling toward another thing. She was slowly becoming a good drifter; slowly but…surely. I watched her climb into her horse. She looked out of it. I guess she couldn't help but keep thinking about her father. I'm sure the other could tell what was on her mind as well.
Virginia…sometimes I wish I could help you get over…Dealing with your father. But I don't really know where to start. Maybe…even the problem was too deep to get over? I didn't even ask to ride with her. She was too out of it. I wasn't really sure if she could remember where the town was. Jet let me ride with him. Before long we're close to town. But Virginia kept on going east of town. "Uh…Virginia?" Gallows said waving a hand in front of her. She quickly blinked looking up to him. "Uh…yes?" She asked sweating some. "Town is this way…" Gallows pointed out.
"Uh…I-I knew that!" Virginia said as she rubbed the back of her head. Then she started to laugh a bit. She quickly started to ride back toward where the town was. "Is it me…or is she out of it more then normal?" Jet asked. "It isn't just you…" I whispered back to him. "But…you can't really blame her…She hasn't seen him for ten years I believe…" I whispered to him again. He nodded his head a bit. Ten years…? That long from the last time she saw her old man? Jet wondered. Then again that man was his old man in a way as well. He was somewhat grateful for everything…he did teach him. Grateful? He never though he would think about even saying that word.
Maybe thankful…was a better word, he thought. "So…if Uncle is somewhat your old man…Are you my cousin or something?" I asked feeling a grin slowly come into my face. "Don't even go there…" Jet growled. A bit after that, we climbed off of are horses and headed into town. We still had to finish the mission to get are paid for the day. We had to turn in the Kizim Fire. He was still standing under the street light. We could see him there as soon as we crossed over the bridge into town. We made are way over to him.
Virginia handed the Kizim fire to him. "So this is the Kizim fire!" Albert said staring at the flame crystal. "Thank you very much. I'm really glad I entrusted you to this mission." He said bowing toward us. "Here is your 2,000 Gella we discussed. Please accept it with my gratitude." Albert said as he handed over 2,000 gella to us. "Well, now that I know I can trust you drifters, I have one more mission I would like to request…" We all looked a bit puzzled toward Albert. "Hmm…" Virginia started to look out of it again.
"Is something the matter?" Clive asked looking over to her. "I'm sorry…I was just lost in thought for a sec…" Virginia said looking over to Clive. Then they both slowly looked at Albert who was still standing in front of us. "I have much faith in your skills. I hope you will accept. I would like you to deliver the kizim fire to our central office. I have prepared 8,000 Gella for this mission. However, I would like to pay you 3,000 gella up front, and…the remaining 5,000 gella to be paid out at the Ark upon the kizim fire's safe delivery." Albert finished saying. The money for this mission sounded really good. Meaning they really needed this artifact really badly.
"That's all fine, but why are you dishin' out so much just for us to deliver it?" Jet asked. "Our temple is located on a small island southwest of jolly roger. Please think of it as an allowance to cover travel expenses." Albert said. Yeah…handing 3,000 over right away would cover that…but how the hell would we get to this little island? "Now I get it." Jet said rubbing a hand in his hair. "Well, what's the plan?" Gallows asked looking around. Virginia slowly nodded to her self. "We accept. We'll get the Kizim fire to your temple in one piece." Virginia said, speaking up for the team.
"Excellent, thank you! Here is the money. I look forward to seeing you all there." Albert said as he handed over 3,000 Gella to us. We slowly made are way away from Albert a bit. "Uh…one question…" Jet said looking toward Clive. "Uh…yes?" Clive asked. "How…are we getting to this island that the ark's on…?" Jet asked. That was a good question…the island is surrounded by sand after all. For the first time Clive looked dumb founded. "Haha…ah…that would be a good question…" Clive said rubbing the back of his head. We could feel sweat drops roll down the back of are heads. "I guess…all we can do is head for Jolly Roger and ask around…" I said shaking my head a bit. Jet nodded toward me a bit.
"Well should we head back to the train station, then?" Gallows asked. We all slowly nodded. "Wait! We can't!" Virginia yelled. We all quickly looked toward her. "And why can't we?" Clive asked. "It's after three Trains stop running after three clock now, remember?" Virginia asked looking around. Uh…forgot they change the train times again. Meaning we couldn't head for Jolly Roger before tomorrow now. "Uh, that right…" Clive said rubbing the back of his head a bit. Clive quickly started to look around the town a bit. "Huh…isn't it…June 21st today?" Clive asked. "I believe so…" I said giving him a weird look.
"Oh! It's heart festive today!" Virginia cried. "Oh god…I was really in town on this day? God…I wanted to leave town now. "Heart festive?" Jet asked. "It's a stupid lovely dovely festive for people in love…" I said rolling my eyes a bit. "Yeah! And you always try to be out of town on this day!" Virginia yelled toward me. "Because I want nothing to do, with this stupid lovely dovely festive!" I yelled back toward her. Gallows and Clive held Virginia back. "Sara! You can't fight it forever! On day a guy will like you, and that guy will not give up on you!" I just rolled my eyes toward her. "Yeah, right…" I whispered. "If that day comes…I will run away…" I whispered to my self.
"I never want any guy…let alone a clingy one!" I pointed out. "Fine! Just…whatever!" Virginia yelled quickly walking away from me. Gallows and Clive looked over at each other. "Uh…" Clive whispered. "I'm going to see my wife and daughter….see you guys later…" Clive said making his way toward his house. I guess Clive wanted to be with his family today. Couldn't blame him. I felt a bit bad…the others had to see me and Virginia fight. But as long as I could remember we always did fight over something.
It was like we're sisters. Eww…I don't ever want to think that again! Her as my sister? That so wrong! Just then we watched some girls walk by us. Gallows started to grin a bit. "Uh…later!" He yelled to me and jet as he quickly ran after the girls. I shook my head watched him. "I hope he gets kicked where the sun doesn't shrine…" Jet whispered. I couldn't help but grin. Yeah it would be pretty funny if that did happen. I glared as I looked around the town. God I hate this day. Why did they have to make a festive for this crap? I slowly head over to a tree and sat under it. But I blinked a bit seeing a shadow over me.
I looked up to find jet there. "You…know you don't have to stay with me…" I pointed out. He just shrugged. "Mind if I sit by you…?" He asked looking around. "Nope…" I whispered closing my eyes. Then I heard him sit beside me. We're both silent and I liked it that way. The others we're with someone on this stupid lovely dovely day. God…I want it to be over with now! You don't know how much I hate this day. "Do you always fight with her like that?" Jet asked out of no where. "Yeah…It's normal. Me and Virginia always did fight over things. Even when we're little…It's scary to think…But sometimes…cause of how much me and her fight. I think she's my sister." I whispered keeping my eyes closed.
"That is pretty scary…" Jet rolled his eyes. "But you know…if you're somewhat my cousin then Virginia your cousin too…" I said grinning a bit. "Don't ever bring that up again…" Jet growled. "Hehe…why? If it's true…" I asked. "Shut-up…" Jet growled again. I guess he didn't like the idea of being somewhat family to Virginia as well.
He would punch her…if she said anything about him being a cousin again. Just because Virginia's old man took care of him didn't make him part of this weird family. NO, he wanted nothing to do with this weird family. He would never be part of it! But the more he thought about it; the angrier he started to feel. He glared around the area. Yeah, he saw why Sara hated this day. It was a bit sickening watching the people. He felt him self staring to roll his eyes. Yeah, he wanted this day over and done with now. Did Sara feel the same way? Wait…why did he care how she felt anyways? He felt him self starting to growl a bit again. Damnit…he didn't want to start thinking about her again.
"Well well…aren't you a little cute?" Jet heard a female voice ask him. Jet slowly looked up toward where the voice came from. Jet saw a girl standing there. She had a light blue dress on. Jet just gave the girl a weird look. "Want to be with me today, cutie?" The girl asked kneeing down to him. "Uh…?" Jet felt his face quickly become red. He couldn't stop blushing for some reason. The girl quickly took hold of his right hand.
"Hehe I'll show you a good time…" The girl said with a giggle. Jet didn't understand what the girl was talking about. Show you a good time? What the hell did she mean by that? He was about to question the girl.
But just then he felt someone glaring at him. He slowly looked toward his left and found Sara glaring at him. "U-uh…" was all he could get out of his mouth.
"Hump!" I said quickly looking away from him. Why did I feel so angry toward him? IT was just some stupid girl holding his hand. Wait…was I jealous? No, it couldn't be that. Why would I be jealous? I don't even like Jet that way. I thought. "S-Sara…?" Jet asked. I didn't answer him. If I would have…I may have just yelled at him for no reason.
Is she angry? Jet wondered as he watched her. Had he done something again without knowing it? Jet watched her quickly stand up and start to walk away. "Oh, good we can be alone now…" The girl said still clinging into jet's hand. Jet quickly turned to glare at the girl. "Will you let go, and leave me alone! Damnit!" Jet yelled at the girl. She quickly did let go. "You're not very nice!" the girl quickly kicked jet in the leg then ran off. Jet growled a bit watched the girl disappear into a group of people. Jet started to rub his leg a bit. "Stupid little bitch…" Jet whispered to him self. Jet quickly blinked and looked around.
He didn't see Sara anywhere. He slowly may his way to his feet. His leg was still bugging him because of that stupid girl. "She should be renamed the kicker…" Jet whispered under his breath. He started to shake his head a bit. Had Sara ran off because of that girl? But where in the world would she have run off too? He wondered as he looked around town a bit. "Sara…" He whispered to him self.
I don't even know why I ran off when I saw that girl being so clingy to Jet. I just felt so angry…and I felt like I had to get away from there as fast as I could. Was it normal to feel this way? I wonder. I don't know. I really don't know…this is the first time I felt this way. I found my self at the dry up pond in town. I wonder how long it had been without water. I stared down at it. "You alright miss?" I blinked as I looked up toward where the voice came from. I found a man standing there. He looked around 5'7" just a bit taller then me. He had brown hair tied back in a pony tail.
"Are you alright, miss?" He asked again. "Uh…I'm fine." I said quickly looking away form him. I don't normally think this about guys…but this guy was pretty good looking. Even if I just looked at him for a second; it was more then needed to know that. But for some reason that guy was still standing beside me? Why? I wonder.
"Damnit…where the hell did she go?" Jet whispered to him self. He had about looked in the entire town. But then jet quickly stopped in his steps. He saw her. So…that's where she when too. Jet thought. He slowly started toward her. But then quickly stopped in his tracks again. He saw someone beside her. Jet slowly back ups a bit; he stepped behind a tree sighing a bit. W-why was there a guy there with her? He wondered.
"What do you want?" I asked not looking toward the guy beside me. "Well I was wondering…" The guy started up to say. "No, I don't want to be with you on this stupid lovely dovely day…" I quickly said growling a bit. "Oh my, aren't you a nice one?" The guy asked. "Will you just go away please…?" I asked closing my eyes. "No…" The guy said quickly taking a hold of my arm. I quickly opened my eyes looking over to him. I quickly try to pull my arm free from his hold. "What the hell are you doing?" I asked. I couldn't pull free from his hold. He was stronger then he looked. "I'm doing what I please…you will be with me on this day…you like it or not!" the guy yelled toward me.
Jet had heard that part. He quickly looked around the tree. "Damnit…" Jet whispered to him self. He pulled out his arms watching. He stays where he was watching he would only step in if he had too. He just hoped he wouldn't have too. What the hell was with this guy? He thought.
This guy thought he could tell me what to do? I think not! "What the hell? You can't tell me what to do!" I yelled pulling my arms off of my back. I quickly pointed it at him with my free arm. "You better let go of me…or I'll…" I started to finish saying. The guy quickly hit my arms out of my hand. I looked as surprised as I watched it land on the ground by a tree. "Girls shouldn't play with toys like that." He whispered as he made me face him again. Damnit, how could I get away from him now? Without my Arms?
Jet blinked a bit watching her arms land by the tree. Just great…he thought. But he started to blink a bit looking her arms over. He had never seen an arms like that one before. But it was weird; she had fired that arm before and he never thought much of it. Could it be special made arms? He wondered. Wait…why the hell was he thinking about this now? He quickly looked away from her arms and toward where she was.
I started to glare toward the guy again. Why the hell did this jerk of a guy have to pick me? I wondered. "So…how about we start off are day together dear, with a kiss?" The guy asked with a grin across his face. "Not in this life time!" I yelled kicking at his leg. "Wow…a fighter…aren't you?" The guy asked with a grin. I couldn't pull away from him. I watched as his face slowly moved closer and closer. But as he was just about too; I heard a gun shot. I blinked a bit as I watched a bullet fly by. "What the hell?" The guy asked looking around. "The next one will not miss…" An angry voice said.
"Oh…and who are you?" The guy asked looking toward the voice. "It doesn't matter who the hell I am…but you will let go of her now!" the voice sounded very angry. Wait…I knew that voice didn't I? "Yeah, right like you would really…" The guy started to finish saying. I quickly heard another gun shot. The guy quickly let go of my arm. "Y-You shot my hand!" The guy yelled. "And I'll do it again…" The voice said. The guy slowly started to back away from me. "Fine! Whatever! I'll just fine another girl, if you want her that badly!" the guy yelled to the person standing behind me.
"You sure have a neck for finding trouble don't you?" I slowly looked up toward the voice. I found Jet standing there. "J-Jet?" I asked giving him a weird look. He looked away from me as he put his arms away. "Y-You alright…?" Jet asked still not looking toward me. "Y-Yeah…" I whispered slowly making my way to my feet. I slowly stared down at my arm; where that guy wouldn't let go of me. It looked a bit red. Was that because of his tight hold? Oh well…that will just go away soon right? I made my way over to where my arms landed. I pick it up and checked it over. It looked alright. I sighed a bit. I was glad to see nothing was wrong with it.
"I have never seen an arm like that…" I blinked a bit hearing jet's voice. I slowly turned around to look at him. He was staring down at my arms. "MY uncle gave it to me before he left boot hill years ago…" I whispered watching him. "He called this arm Ray of light…but I think that a weird name for an arm…" I said putting it away. "Hmm…" I was all jet said. But I wonder why Jet was here to start with. "Why did you come here? Did you get tired of your little girlfriend?" I asked quickly looking away from him. I felt so angry again for some reason. Was it because of that girl I saw with him.
Jet found him self starting to glare at her again. Why the hell did she have to bring up that little bitch girl. "I don't even want to talk about that stupid little bitch…I tell her to leave me the hell alone, then she kicks me and runs off!" Jet yelled. "Then you had a fight?" I asked. "Just stop right there!" Jet yelled again glaring toward me. He didn't want me to even start talking about that subject.
He would kill her if she brought that girl up again. He really would. But he could turn the tables on her. He could ask her why she ran off like she did. Yeah…maybe he would do that. "Well…" Jet quickly started to change the subject. "Well I could ask why you ran off like you did…" Jet said giving me a look. I quickly looked away from him. "I-I don't want to talk about it…" I said. Jet slowly started to grin a bit. "Oh? And why is that?" He asked. I quickly glared toward him. "I said I don't want to talk about it!" I yelled toward him. He looked surprised toward me.
"Gees…" Jet said rubbing the back of his head. "You act this way over one little question…" Jet said watching me. But he quickly stopped. He could tell he was just making her angrier. Damnit…why the hell did I ever help her? Jet wondered. Did he help her because she was his friend or some other reason? Damnit, he didn't want to start thinking that way again. "T-Thank you…" I whispered looking toward the ground. "Huh?" Jet asked. "F-For helping me get away from that guy…" I whispered feeling my self starting to blush. Why the hell am I blushing! "I-It's wasn't a big deal…" Jet whispered.
Jet started to wonder had he been jealous of another guy being around her? If that was that feeling he didn't like it one bit. But he felt that way as well as angry when he saw gallows hugging her. Didn't he? But the air around them felt…It felt weird. Jet didn't fee like him normal; I don't care self. He wondered…was he slowly changing? Because of his girl as well as the team he was traveling with? I feel so shy right then around him for some reason. I don't even know why. I couldn't place this feeling…but I never felt it before. I really don't want to make eye contact with him now. I need to work out what this stupid feeling really is; then push it a way.
"Uh…Sara?" Jet asked breaking the silence. "Uh…yes?" I asked still not looking toward him. "Umm…we are just friends right?" He asked sounding unsure. I slowly looked toward him then gave him a weird look. "Umm yeah, just friends…" I answered him. I watched as his face slowly became red. Why was he blushing?
"Jet?" I asked still giving him a weird look. "D-Do you want to…" jet started to ask. Damnit…why the hell do I feel so shy around her? I wasn't this shy before. Wait…why the hell am I being shy to begin with! "You know…hang out…so no other stupid clingy people…come after us…" Jet finished saying.
I grinned a bit watching his face slowly turn deeper red. "Hehe…is little jetty…asking me to be with him today?" I asked grinning toward him. "W-what? No! Nothing like that! I don't want any of that lovely dovely crap as well!" Jet yelled toward me. I couldn't help but start to laugh at his reaction. He started to look pretty pissed after I laughed toward him. Why the hell was she laughing? What was so funny! Nothing that he could he! "What the hell so funny!" Jet asked as he felt him self yell the question toward her. "Nothing nothing Jet…but. I do like your idea; I don't want another guy coming after me like the last one did." I said smiling a bit toward him.
"But where could we go…where others couldn't get to us?" I asked looking around the area a bit. "Hmm?" Jet said. Then he slowly nodded to him self. Jet slowly started to head west without saying a word. "Jet?" I asked. "Follow." He whispered to me. So I did so. I guess he knew where to go…so others couldn't get to us.
Ten minutes later…we're at that spot; but I didn't care for it too much. "Of all places…" I whispered. Jet gave me a weird look. "What's wrong with it?" He asked. "Oh…nothing I'm just scared of high places! And sitting on a roof isn't that safe!" I yelled toward him. "You're a drifter…and your scared of high places?" jet said as he rolled his eyes toward me. I quickly started to glare at him. "Whatever, Mr. I'm not scared of anything!" I yelled crossing my arms looking away from him. Why the hell do I even put up with this girl? He wondered. How can anyone be scared of something so stupid? It's like being scared of a cat or dog…he thought.
He shrugged a bit toward her. If he said those things out loud he would only make her angrier. Jet started to blink a bit looking up toward the sky. It was dark…he didn't even see the sun go down. Well he didn't care. It was a good sign that this stupid lovely dovely day would be over soon. He couldn't take much more of this day anyways. He started to blink a bit watching a small rocket slowly go up into the sky. "Hey…is that?" Jet whispered to him self; but before he could say anymore. Boom! Was heard in the sky as the fire works when off. But as it when off he heard a small scream next to him. Then he felt someone cling into him.
He quickly looked down to find Sara clinging into him. His face quickly became red watching her. "I-I hate fire works…they scary--…!" I started to finish saying. But then I heard another one. I let out another scream. "The crap out of me…" I finished saying. I blinked a bit feeling my self clinging into something. But what the hell was I clinging onto? I slowly looked up then I quickly blinked. I was clinging into jet. "Haha…sorry Jet…" I said closing my eyes laughing a bit. I was surprised he didn't say; will you let go? Or what the hell are you doing? But he didn't say a word.
He just kept on staring down at me without saying a word. Why the hell wasn't he saying anything? Was he is shock that I was clinging into him to start with? Yeah, I guess that could be it. "Jet are you alright?" I asked. But still no answer. I felt a bit worried. It was weird I just was staring at her. Why? I-I don't why…but I was. I heard her ask me a question. But I didn't answer her. My mouth wouldn't move. I didn't feel like my self. What the hell was this girl doing to me? I didn't even say whatever can you let go now? I was Jet Enduro…but…I didn't feel like I was. I was…so lost in my thoughts; I had no idea what I was doing.
My face slowly lowers closer and close to Sara's without knowing it. And before I knew it…my lips pressed against her. I had no idea what the hell I was doing but…I didn't dislike it. It felt…somewhat nice.
When I felt something touch my lips; I quickly opened my eyes staring toward jet in shock. Was-was this his plan along? Was this why he picked here to get away from other people? After what felt like forever jet quickly pulled away then quickly opened his eyes. He looked as shocked as I felt. "S-Sara…I-I…" He said looking around. He looked unsure of what he really did. I didn't say a word to him as I let go of him and looked away from him. Especially after what he did.
What the hell did you just do jet! He heard him self yell inside his head. But he had no idea what he did or why he did it. What the hell had he been thinking? Had he been thinking at all? What in the world came over him? He remembered seeing Sara clinging into him. But he couldn't remember anything after that. Well aside from his lips touching her. Had he been out of it for sometime? Maybe even been day dreaming about something? He felt him self cussing to him self inside his head. But he quickly snapped out of it watching a person down on the street surrounded by a group of girls.
"Gallows?" Jet whispered to him self. "Hmm?" I said looked down toward the street as well. "Now…now ladies! Gallows can only go to so many at one time…" gallows said with a huge grin across his face. The girls around him didn't look too happy. "We don't want you, you pervert! So, keep your hands to your self!" One of the ladies spoke up. "Yeah!" Another lady said. "Aww…really? You didn't talk that way…the first time…I touched you're…" Gallows said quickly placing a hand over the lady's butt. "You pervert!" The lady yelled and quickly started to hit gallows with her purse.
The others ladies quickly started to help. Jet slowly shook his head a bit watching gallows getting beaten up by a group of women. "What a pervert…" I whispered watching gallows getting beaten up by the group of ladies as well. Jet nodded a bit. Soon the ladies stop hitting gallows with they're purses. Then they quickly walked away. "Geez…what did I do?" Gallows asked him self rubbing the back of his head. He slowly made his way to his feet. Then he slowly started toward Clive's house. But when he saw me and Jet sitting on the roof; he quickly stopped in his tracks.
"Oh I see…the two love birds are together!" He said with a huge grin across his face. We both looked puzzled toward gallows. Then we turned to look at each other. We both quickly remembered what had just happened a bit ago. Are face quickly became red then we both quickly looked away from each other. Gallows started to laugh watching us. "Shut up!" Jet yelled down to him; then threw a rock at gallows. And hit him on the head. "Ouch…" Gallows whispered rubbing the top of his head. Gallows growled a bit as he entered Clive's house.
Gallows wasn't helping at all. Things we're weird as it was. And now I really didn't want to look at Jet. Even just looking at him; after what Gallows said…I couldn't help but blush. Was it because of what jet had done? Yeah, that had to be it. I needed to get away from him; for the time being. I started to climb off the roof without saying a word to him. I really didn't know what to say to him now anyways. I finished climbing off the roof; then I headed in the front door of Clive's house. I closed the door behind me. Jet shook his head a bit hearing the door close. "I'm-I'm an idiot…" Jet whispered to him self.
I sighed a bit as I entered Clive's house. "Oh, Sara!" I blinked hearing a voice call to me. I found Catherine standing there. I didn't know what to say to her. I still stared at her a bit. "Is something the matter?" She asked looking a bit worried. "No…it's nothing." I lied. "Oh…I-I see…" She said looking around the room. "Is the bath free?" I asked looking around the room as well. "Yes, it is but…" She started to finish saying. But I didn't let her finish. "Thanks…" I said quickly leaving the room and heading down the hallway toward the bath. I didn't want to talk to anyone right now. Right now…I just needed time to my self badly. Very badly…Did I.
I didn't want to talk or think about what jet had done. I just needed to clear my head. After a bit…I entered the bath. Yeah…this felt a lot better now. I thought as I sat down in the water. I felt my eyes slowly close as I sighed. Maybe…I should have let Jet speak. Maybe he had a reason for what he did? Nah…he couldn't even get words out of his mouth. Was it good to leave him like that anyways? I guess…I wasn't as angry at him as I thought I was. I was more so shocked or surprised by what he did. But I couldn't blame my self for feeling that way right? It was only normal to feel this way. Anyways that was my first…I started to finish thinking.
But I quickly shook my head a bit. S-So what if it was my first k-kiss. I thought. I felt my face quickly turn red. Ahh! God…it's not like…I liked it or something! Damnit…Jet this is all your fault…I thought. Would It…no the better question was…could I even face him now? I dunno. I couldn't even look at him. I guess…its better not to worry about it for now. I'll just worry about it when I do have to face him. I nodded a bit to my self as I climbed out of the bath. Then I got dressed. But I really didn't feel like my self at all. Something felt off for some reason. I headed down the hall way; back to the living room.
I found Virginia helping little kailtyn reading a book. Virginia quickly looked up to me as I entered the room. "Oh! There you are! I was wondering where you been…" Virginia said sounding a bit worried. "Just around…" I said shrugging a bit sitting on the couch. "Hey…where's uncle jet?" Kailtyn asked. As soon as she asked that I quickly looked toward the floor. "Sara?" Virginia asked. I slowly shook my head a bit. "I haven't seen him…" I lied. Just then I heard the front door close. "Oh! There you are Uncle Jet!" Kailtyn yelled as she hopped off of the couch and ran over to him. I kept my eyes looking at the floor.
Jet patted the little girl on the head as he stared toward Sara. She still wouldn't look at him. Had he really done something so bad…that she wouldn't forgive him? He wondered. He had messed up they're friendship that quickly. He knew…he really was an idiot. "What's wrong uncle jet?" Kailtyn asked staring up toward her uncle. "Huh?..." He looked a bit lost looking toward the child. Kailtyn gave him a confused look. "I-It's nothing…" jet whispered to her. She kept looking a bit confused toward him. Then Catherine popped her head in the room. "Dinner ready!" She yelled. Kailtyn and Virginia quickly headed into the kitchen.
I felt jet staring toward me again. I heard his foot steps start toward me. But after a bit they stopped. "S-Sara?" He asked. I didn't answer him as I slowly stood up. Then I left the room and headed into the kitchen. She will not speak to me as well…Jet thought. He had really messed up. He sighed a bit as he entered the kitchen as well. Soon after they entered they started eating dinner. They had chicken noodle soup. I stared down at the bowl of soup in front of me. I didn't feel hungry at all. Was it because I was upset? "Sara? Is something the matter?" Clive asked.
I quickly looked up from the bowl of soup. "Huh? No…I just don't feel hungry…" I whispered looking away from Clive. Clive kept on watching me. "I'm going to head off to bed…" I said slowly getting out of my chair. "Alright…" Clive whispered. I slowly started up the stairs. Clive gave jet a look. Then nodded his head toward the stairs; Jet slowly nodded to him. Jet go tout of his chair and quickly made his way up the stairs as well. "I wonder…why Sara isn't hungry…" Virginia whispered finishing her soup. "I'm sure…it's nothing to worry about…" Catherine whispered to Virginia with a smile. "I hope so…" Virginia whispered back.
I sighed a bit as I entered the bed room I had been staying in. I was glad this day was about over. I closed the door behind me; then made my way over to my bed and sat down. I stared out the window in front of me. The dark sky did look really nice even from inside the house. I then heard the door quickly open then close a minute later. I knew who had entered without looking. It was Jet…wasn't it? "Sara?" I heard his voice ask. "Yes?" I asked him back. "Oh…now you're answering me…" He said. "Jet…I don't feel up to it…just tell me what you want…" I said sounding a bit angry.
Jet stepped back a bit hearing the angrier in her voice. She really was angry at him…wasn't she? "I-I want to talk about what happened…" Jet whispered to her. I didn't say a word. Jet heard nothing but silent from her again. "Sara?" Jet asked stepping toward my bed. She still didn't answer him. IT wasn't like…he wanted to deal with this. But he had too…because it did happen. But she was just trying to ignore what had happened. He slowly sat down on her bed beside her.
"I don't want to talk about it…" I whispered closing my eyes. "And you think I do?" Jet asked. I didn't answer him. He heard nothing but silent from her again. "IT was my mistake…" Jet whispered out of no where. "I-I never should have done that…I don't know what came over me…" Jet whispered rubbing the back of his head. Mistake? That what he called it? I started to feel really angry from hearing him call it a mistake. I'll give him a mistake…I thought. Jet watched her a bit not hearing a word from her again. She looked pretty angry. What the hell did I do now! He wondered. Here he was trying to say sorry to her for what he did. But somehow…he was just making her angry. He would never understand women, he thought.
"You…messed up jet…" I whispered looking down at the bed. Jet could only give her a confused look. "You mean…I messed up are friendship because what I did?" He asked. "Yes…" I whispered slowly stand up and looking toward the window. Jet didn't know what more to say. He felt like crap…and now the only person in the team he got along with was angry with him. He knew…he truly was an idiot. He quickly got off her bed and left the room closing the door behind him. I slowly shook my head a bit. "You're a little idiot, jet…" I whispered to my self staring out the window.
"People act diffence…ways when they care for someone…" I quickly looked around the room; searching for where the voice came from. I saw a ghost-like woman floating behind me. "W-who are you?" I whispered to her. "My name is Raftina…One of the lost ones..." The woman said. "Raftina?" I said. I had heard that name somewhere before. "I am Raftina the guardian of love…" she said. I stared at her in shock. She was a guardian? I was seeing another one? "Child of Filgaia…you're becoming closer to your awaking…" Raftina said. "Yes…two other guardians said that as well…but what do you mean by awaking?" I asked.
"You're…" Raftina started to say. I gave her a weird look. "Your one who can speak to guardians openly without the power of a medium…no one aside from you…have the power to do so…" Raftina said. But why did she look so worried when she said that? "Raftina?" I asked. "Your awaking also means…much danger for you…" Raftina whispered as she started to disappear. "R-Raftina! W-wait!" I yelled to her. But I could only watch her slowly disappear. "Do not…worry child of Filgaia….will we see each other again…Soon." Raftina whispered as she disappeared all the way.
"Raftina…" I whispered to my self. She said much danger. But how the hell can't I be in danger? I mean…I'm a drifter after all! But…she said only I could speak to the guardians openly without a medium. But I wonder why…I even have that power. Was this power part of the awaking…the guardians' spoke of? I wonder. Hell who knows…I'm thinking too much. I started to change for bed. Yeah…I was glad this day was finally over and done with. Soon after that Virginia came in and got ready for bed as well. She tried to talk to me; but I wouldn't listen to her. She got pretty angry and when to bed soon after that.
I shrugged a bit to my self combing my hair a bit. Then I heard the door close. I quickly blinked. I knew it wasn't Virginia because she when to sleep. It was jet…I knew it was him somehow. But he didn't say a word. But I heard him head over to his bed without saying a word to me. Maybe…I was a bit heard on him? Well maybe just a little…but no more then that. I remembered what Raftina said. People act diffence…ways when they care for someone. Had jet done what he did…because he…? I cutted my self off thinking that; I guess…forgive and forget as they say.
I heard him lay down on his bed. "Jet?" I asked. "What…?" He asked sounding annoyed. "I forgive you…" I whispered quietly. Jet felt confused watching her. She forgives me? Why does she now? He wondered. But he knew it was better not to question her. "Sorry…" jet whispered closing his eyes. "Forgetting pissed off and o-out of hand…" Jet whispered to me. I slowly smiled a bit. "Don't worry, about it…" I said slowly lying down on my bed as well. But I knew we would both act like it never happened. But maybe it was better to act that way about the whole thing to start with. We both wanted nothing of that lovely dovely crap.
We just wanted some weird friendship we have with each other. Yeah it was a weird friendship alright, I thought laying there. "N-night…Sara…" Jet said sounding a bit nervous again. I giggled a bit to my self. "Hehe night jetty boy…" I said pulling my blankets up and over my self. "Jetty boy?" Jet asked sounding confused. I didn't answer him as I put my head under the blankets laughing a bit to my self. I heard Jet then growl to him self. "Whatever!" he yelled rolling into his side facing away from me. I couldn't help but laugh a bit more as I slowly fell asleep.
But soon the next morning came. We all met down stairs and got ready to leave for the train station. Catherine and Kailtyn stared to say they're goodbyes to Clive. "Now be careful dear…" Catherine said kissing Clive on the cheek. He started to laugh a bit rubbing the back of his head. "I'll be fine…" Clive said looking toward us. "Yeah, Auntie Sara will protect daddy right?" Kailtyn asked walking over to me. "Sure will…" I said patting her on the head. She smiled up to me. Catherine nodded toward us. "All of you please be careful…" She said with a soft smile across her face.
"Don't worry! Everything will be alright!" Virginia yelled holding an arm up into the air. Jet gave me a weird look. I could only shrug toward him. Things are never alright…with Virginia. I'm surprised nothing more started on fire because of her. But I guess…its better not to think about that way as well. Or something will start on Fire. "Well…good luck…" Catherine said waving to us. Kailtyn started to wave as well. We nodded toward the two of them then left the house.
"Well…we should start toward the train station…its west from here…" Clive said looking to each one of us. We nodded to him heading toward the exit of town. But…I couldn't help but wonder…would we really find a way to get to that island in Jolly Roger? I guess I would have to wait and see. Outside of town we climbed into the horses then started riding them west; back toward the train station. But soon we found the train station again. We climbed off the horses and headed inside the station. Inside the station we headed up to the counter where a working was standing.
"Thank you for riding with Filgaia Railways. Where are you headed today?" The worker asked. We started to look at the map. "Hmm…Midland station please…" Clive said speaking up for us. "That will cost you 720 gella, will that be all right?" The worker asked. Clive nodded placing the gella on the counter. The worker then handed the tickets to us. Soon after that; the train came into the station. We headed up to the train and handed the tickets over then we got on. We headed inside a car and sat down. "Window!" Virginia yelled as soon as we entered the car. She raced over to the window sitting on the left side by the window.
We all felt sweat drops roll down the back of are heads watching her. Clive sat beside Virginia. Then gallows sat beside Clive. I sat on the right side by the window then jet sat beside me. "I hope…we can find a way to get to that island in Jolly Roger…" I said. "I'm sure everything will work out…" Clive said with a soft smile across his face. I hope he is right. We still had a bit on the train before we get to midland station. I looked at the three across from me; all three of them had fallen asleep. I guess…It was a pretty long train ride. I mean…It takes three hours to get to midland station. I found my self covering my mouth as I started to yawn.
I guess I was getting sleepy too. I wonder…If Jet was asleep too. I slowly looked over to my right to check. And nope…he was awake being his silent self. "Not sleepy?" I asked. He slowly shook his head a bit. "Nope…" He whispered to me as he kept on staring at the wall over the others heads. "Well…I may need your shoulder as a pillow…" I said sticking my tongue out at him. I watched as a bit of blush came over his face. "You don't need a pillow…" He whispered trying to hide his face in his scarf. "Yes, I do. You always need a pillow when one sleeps." I whispered back to him.
"Fine,…if you really have too…then I don't care…" Jet said closing his eyes. Yep, just the answer I thought he would give me. I smiled a bit resting my head on his shoulder. I watched him quickly turn his head away from me. I guess…he was worried the others would see; But They wouldn't. I was only going to rest for a bit. And I would make sure to wake up before they did. I felt my eyes slowly become heavy; and soon after that…they did close. Jet slowly turned his head back to look down at the girl. She looked so hopeless…when she was asleep. Even those he knew better…She wasn't helpless at all. He knew that far too well. But he was glad…Sara was nothing like Virginia.
He nodded a bit to him self. One Virginia was just too much to take at one time. But if they're another…the world would truly be doomed. He knew if he ever said that out loud Virginia would kill him. So he would keep that thought to him self; as he did with many thoughts. Just then he felt something round touch his arm. He slowly looked down toward the girl sleeping beside him. He found the girl clinging into his arm and holding it close to her. Jet felt his face quickly turn deep red as he stared down at her. Before he knew it…he felt his lips press against her forehead. Then he quickly sat up. What the hell did I just do! Jet yelled inside his head.
He heard a small laugh across from him. He quickly looked at who it was. He stared in shock to find Clive smiling toward him. "C-Clive I-I it's not what it looks like!" Jet cried waving his free hand in front of him. "I never said it looked like anything…" Clive said smiling toward the silver hair boy. "Uh…" Jet felt a sweat drop roll down the back of his head. Had Clive seen…what he just did! He could only hope Clive didn't see a thing. "I didn't see a thing…if you don't do that again…" Clive said closing his eyes. Damnit…Clive could black mail him if he needed to now. But he also knew it was also his own damn fault.
But…Now he had gone and done this two times. Why the hell did he do it a second time! If she found out…He did this again would she forgive him? Yeah…right. He had to do whatever he could to get Clive to forget what he saw. Jet was glad…soon after that Sara woke up. "Hmm? Are we there?" I asked slowly picking my head off jet's shoulder. "We should be there shortly, Ms. Sara…" Clive whispered to me. I quickly blinked. Clive was awake! D-Did he see where my head had been? Oh, god…I hope not. "Oh…you're awake…" I said rubbing the back of my head. Clive smiled a bit keeping his eyes closed.
"Yes, I have been for a bit…but I much say…You and Jet make a very cute Couple…" Clive whispered toward us. I felt my face quickly turn deep red. "B-But…we're nothing like that…" I whispered looking toward the floor. "W-what…she said…" Jet whispered. He sounded a bit nervous. I could hear Clive laughing a bit to him self. Maybe he just wanted to see how I and Jet would react to that statement. Well…I didn't find it funny at all. Jet found him self starting to glare toward Clive. This wasn't funny at all. Just because he could blackmail him…didn't mean he could say something like that!
He felt like his face was as red as a tomato. "Really? Now…but you two…did look very happy…especially when you we're resting your head somewhere…" Clive said opening his eyes looking toward me. Clive saw violet eyes glaring toward him. Telling him; stop now if you want to live to see tomorrow. I slowly shook my head a bit as I looked to Clive. "Me and Jet are only friends nothing more…" I said to him. Clive looked nervous about something. "I see…good friends then…" Clive said quickly looking away. I watched Clive feeling puzzled. I wonder…what made Clive look so nervous. Oh well…I guess, it doesn't matter. He did stop talking about that crap…so I'm happy.
Soon after that…the train pulled into the station. We all stood up and headed off the train. Virginia yawned a bit. "That train ride was a long one…" Virginia said covering her mouth as she yawned. "Well…let's head for jolly roger." Clive said looking around. We all nodded to him. Then we headed out of the station and started back toward Jolly Roger. Jolly Roger wasn't very far from the station. Maybe ten minute walk if it was even that. Soon after we found the town we entered. "Well…we should ask around…to see if they're a way to get to that island…" Gallows said. We slowly nodded toward him.
We started by asking the arm's up grader in town. "You're looking for a ship to cross the dunes in, but you can't find one anywhere, right? Am I right?" The arm up grader named Emilia asked looking to each one of us. We slowly nodded to her. "Today's your lucky day! Why not help me with my research? I'm gonna put together the strongest, most cutting-edge sand craft ever!" Emilia yelled holding her hands up into the air. But I would have to see this to believe it. Emilia opened the door on the side of the counter and told us to follow her into the back. So we did follow. But as we entered the back room we stared in shock to find a running sand craft. Virginia and gallows mouths opened without saying a word. Well it was pretty big shock to see one.
"What do you think? This baby's the cutting edge in high-speed sand craft technology! A conventional sand craft generates so much friction that the sand cuts into the hull. This number packs a solid load of armament while making huge advances in overall speed and durability. She's my answer to all the hurdles confronting further development of the technology!" Emilia said taking a break from talking for a second. I wonder…did anyone aside from Clive understand what she was talking about? I knew she was speaking of the sand craft…but aside from that…I was lost. "Of course, I had to skimp a little on the weaponry to finish her…and her drive data's blank. Hmm…I need fifteen more dragon fossils to finish her chassis." Emilia said looking the sand craft over.
"All you have to do is go get them. Just promise to record her drive data, and she's yours! Sounds like a great deal to me. What do you say? Dragon fossils for a sand craft!" Emilia said waiting to hear are answer. Wait…didn't we have over 15 dragon fossils? Now that I thought about it; Clive nodded a bit. "It's a done deal…" He said to Emilia. "That's what I wanted to hear! Actually, I had taken out a load on dragon fossils to make the part I needed…" Emilia started to laugh rubbing the back of her head. I shook my head a bit listening to her. "Now, I can pay the loan sharks back and sleep soundly for once. So…the sand craft is yours!" Emilia said as Clive handed over 15 dragon fossils.
"Let me move the sand craft to the beach outside. Remember…you have to get on and off the sand craft at a beach." Emilia pointed out to us. "One more thing; you'll have a tough time fighting dune monsters with her current arments. You'll get the hang of it soon enough, I'll go ahead and send her down to the landing beach on auto pilot. And her Auto pilot supports teleportation through items, aint's she something?" Emilia said as she shit a button on a machine behind her. Then the sand craft left the deck area and headed to the beach. Well now…we could get to the island where this so called Ark was. Then we left the arm's store.
"Well…I guess we can get to the island now…" Clive said. Virginia slowly nodded to him. "Let's go see what the sand craft looks like inside!" Virginia yelled quickly racing out of town. We slowly shook are heads a bit as we followed the hyper one out of town. We found the sand craft on the beach pretty close town. We slowly made are why inside of it. Clive said we could drive it; maybe to keep Virginia a way from the wheel? We started going south west from Jolly Roger. We're lucky we didn't run into too much dune monsters; just around two of them.
"I hope…we are about there…" Jet said sounding a bit annoyed. Clive started to laugh a bit to him self. "Yes, I see a small island just a head now…" Clive said pointing to the small island in front of us. "I guess…the ark has to be there…" I whispered. Clive nodded a bit as he landed the sand craft on the beach of the island. Soon after that we climbed out of the sand craft. Closer to the Mountains on the island we found the ark. The base called The Ark of Destiny. Then we headed inside.
The place didn't look like an office I had ever seen; I thought as soon as we entered. It looked like…well I don't even know how to word it. But it was made out of metal the place. WE all keep on looking around the room. "I thought a central office of a religious order would be more…" Virginia started to finish saying. "Yes…I had expected a more courtly and grand temple, but this is as if we're exploring a ruin." Clive said pulling his glasses up a bit. He sounded a bit surprised by how the place looked as well. "I guess nowadays, you kinda have to take it to new heights to secure followers…I can see why our faith is on the decline." Gallows said rubbing the back of his head a bit.
"No wonder they were so generous. They're in the right business. Maybe I should change Careers." Jet said placing a hand under his chin thinking about it. It wasn't a bad idea…about changing careers after seeing this place. "Then, whadday a say you team up with this future priest and we make a fortune together? I have some know-how and background about this kinda stuff, you know?" Gallows said looking toward Jet. I slowly looked toward Virginia. Yep, she looked angry. I watched her quickly turn toward gallows. "Stop it with your nonsense. Let's just hand over the Kizim fire and complete our mission." Virginia snapped. I shook my head a bit and so did Jet. Gallows rubbed the back of his head a bit.
We made are way into a door straight north of us. Then we headed down a long hall way into another door. We found are selves in the main room of the ark. We sat a man in the chair with orange chair up some stairs over us. Could that man by the leader of the ark? Lamium…was the leader name right? I thought. A man came up to us as we entered and Virginia handed over the fire crystal to him. Then the man hurried up the stairs to show Lamium. He got out of his chair and walked a bit forward to look down at us. "A job well done. Thanks to you; this Ark has taken another step toward the future. A small step, but absolute, none the less. Here is the reward we agreed upon. Please accept." Lamium then nodded to the one who took the fire crystal from us. That man handed over 5,000 gella to us.
We stared up toward the man named Lamium. Then Virginia spoke up. "Thank you very much…we're all glad to be of help. If I may…Is this energy crystal really going to prove useful?" Virginia asked. Why did she go and ask something like that? It shouldn't matter what they do with the flame crystal. "Of course, but before I explain, you must understand our dogma." Lamium said. "Many doctrines of salvations speak of fulfilling one's spirit in order to attain salvation after death. However, the doctrine of the Ark of destiny views the pursuit of mundane benefits as supreme and we worth and devote ourselves to it every day. There are many who shy away from us, interpreting our goal as merely money making…you demystify our doctrine, only. When peace of mind and tranquility lives can spiritual fulfillment be achieved." Lamium finished saying.
From what he said…It didn't sound like too much religious…more so about one's daily life. "So, it is not about seeking spiritual shelter, but taking care of your everyday life, first and fore most." Clive said. "There are many factors that threaten our everyday lives, but most of it can be blamed on our wasted environment. And we humans are not strong enough to face and accept this harsh environment. I do not possess a gracious disposition as to throw away my will to live. I have found the means from this planet, for people to improve their future. That is why I have created a movement putting to use ancient artifacts for the good of today." Lamium said. "Movement?" I whispered.
"Applying the technology of theses artifacts to improve the lives of people…this is a grand dream that cannot be realized by my powers alone. Fortunately, I have colleagues here who sympathize with my ideology. Each one of us may only be a tiny drop, but as we gather together and are guided in the right direction, we can become a torrent…This is what I firmly believe, and the reason I lead this movement." Lamium said closing his eyes. But I couldn't help but wonder how artifacts could really help people live better in this environment. "Interesting…so that's what the ark of destiny's doctrine is all about…It's completely different from ours. It's more practical—more down to earth, you know?" Gallows said looking toward the floor.
"We share the same basic ideology as Baskar. One thing that sets us apart is that we are most like volunteers rather then a monastic order." Lamium said looking toward gallows. "Could this building really be…" Virginia asked. "Yes, we were able to excavate the immigrant ship from folklore, and are using it as a shrine. Just as our forefathers of mankind pioneered the way to this planet, we too, are aiming for a new frontier we call the future." Lamium said. I couldn't believe it…we're inside the immigrant ship! Then that folklore was real! "We not only view this ship as our shrine, but as a symbolic representation of our materialized well." Lamium said smiling down toward us. A lot of the things he said we're hard to believe.
"Frankly, I'm surprised. I thought your explanation would deal with some kind of dream world, but…Ooops…I'm sorry…" Virginia said quickly covering her mouth. "Hah hah hah hah…sorry, I have no dream. My duty is to fight to attain repose, and not to look away from reality. Consequently, we have no dream—only harsh reality. Even the management of this order is not cheap." Lamium said laughing a bit to him self. "I'm sorry…I didn't mean it like that…" Virginia said looking toward the floor. "No need to worry. Speaking of dreams, however…this will stray from reality, but would you be interest to hear?" Lamium asked us. "Sure…" Virginia said speaking up for all of us.
"The lost technology from the ruins is essential in keeping this order active and operating. We out source various drifters or conduct our own research to excavate these artifacts…some of the more substantial discoveries stem from dreams I experience." Lamium said. Did he have dream seen like gallows' little brother? "A dream? That sounds just like my kid brother." Gallows said rubbing his chin a bit. "Sometimes in my dream, a girl appears and blesses me with advice." Lamium said. A girl? And he listens to this advice this girl would give him? "A girl gives you advice?" Virginia asked.
"Yes. I do not know who this girl is, though…however, her words are always accurate and true. For example…this Ark of destiny we use are our shrine was granted by her." Lamium said. Something sounded fishy about this girl. How could just a dream…push someone like this? "I call this girl that guides me in my dreams, The Saint." Lamium said. Just then a worker of the ark ran into the room. "Is something the matter? I am in the middle of speaking to my guests." Lamium said sounding a bit angry. "Well uh…An unexpected situation has…" The worker started to say. "It is all right. Please continue." Lamium said.
"I have just received a report from survey point # 17, currently being excavated. Apparently, someone has broken in, wreaking havoc." The worker said. Virginia quickly looked toward Clive. "The prophets?" Virginia whispered. "The intruders are a group of three plus one pet. I repeat, a group of three and a pet. They are a party of four." The worker said. We all shook are heads a bit. It was Maya's team wasn't it? "Their descriptions: A vagarious young woman, a boy with explosives, a stuffed animal-like cat and a vicious looking man with an afro. They are all armed and extremely dangerous, the search group and the excavation group are being excavated. Security will retreat soon after." The worker finished saying.
"This is a terrible situation…according to the saint, this is where the energy crystals, Aguelite and Germatron are located…if they fall into the wrong hands…" Lamium cut him self off looking toward Virginia. "Are you all right?" He asked. No…I'm sure…she isn't especially because it has to do with Maya…I thought. "I think I know exactly who these intruders are…" Virginia said not looking up from the floor. "Are the drifters' acquaintances of yours?" Lamium asked. "B-B-But we're not associated with them in anyway!" Virginia said quickly waving her hands in front of her self. "If it all right with you, I would like to ask you to stop them." Lamium said. "Well…I do feel kinda obligated to…" Virginia said.
It isn't her fault…because what Maya when and did on her own free will. "However, we will only accept this as a formal assignment." Clive spoke up. Yeah…make money when you can right? "Rightly so. I will offer 10,000 Gella for this mission. I believe that is a fair price." Lamium said. Hell yeah it is. "Err…I feel really terrible about all this…" Virginia whispered. "I, too…was a drifter before I opened my eyes to this dogma. I fully understand your pride and honor as drifters. That is why I think you deserve that amount. However, I do expect you to perform up to its full value. I look forward to seeing what kind of job 10,000 gella will buy me." Lamium said smiling toward us.
"That's a lot of pressure…but we'll do our best…" Virginia said. But I could tell Virginia would be fired up for this one. So she could even her score with maya.
