But still have a bit to go. Soon everything will make sense…well more or less will make sense; Anyways into the chapter.
Chapter 28: filgaia's History
Soon we had entered the sand craft again. Clive pulled the sand craft off the beach before speaking up. "It will take an hour or so to get to baskar so…go ahead and rest a bit." Clive said looking toward us. "Sounds like a good idea!" Gallows said quickly sitting down and resting his arms behind his head like a pillow. And soon he fell asleep. "Sure…didn't take him long…" Virginia whispered. Clive slowly nodded as he turned back to face the wheel. "Indeed…he does fall asleep easy…" Clive said with a smell laugh. "I'm going up to the deck for some air…" I whispered making my way up the stairs. "…I wonder if Sara's alright…" Virginia whispered. "I'm sure she is. She may just have a lot on her mind." Clive said as he looked toward jet.
I slowly nodded toward Clive as I made my way up to the deck. Clive still didn't want to leave her alone too long. Maybe even more so…because of what we had felt after that mission That sense…it made my stomach feel like it was turning. Maybe…even Sara knew what that sense of energy means. Then again…wouldn't she tell us if she did? Yeah she would.
I stared down at the sand as the sand craft slowly made its way forward in it. This feeling wouldn't leave me alone. Something…was starting again. But this time…whatever was after filgaia was much stronger. And as we are now…we didn't stand very much of a chance. Coming out of my thoughts I could her foot steps close behind me. "How long do you plan to stand there, Jet?" I asked as I closed my eyes. "As long as I feel like it." Jet quickly answered me. He was…as stubborn as ever. And still he wouldn't give me a true answer to any question I ask him. But regardless…I when ahead to ask him another one. "Jet?" I asked. "What now?" He asked sounding a bit annoyed with me. "Would you believe me? If I said…something is starting again?" I asked him. At first he didn't answer me as I heard his foot steps start up again. And soon…he stood right beside me. "Well yeah I would. I mean…we all felt it. Even if it is because of the mediums…we still felt it regardless…" Jet whispered staring out toward the sand.
"But do you happen to know…what this it…or should I say power was?" Jet asked as he slowly looked toward me. "Well…not really. But I have an idea of what it could be…" I whispered as I shook my head a bit. "And that would be?" jet asked. "Very well…I'll tell you. But I don't want the others to know. I'm not 100 sure. So, on telling them alright?" I asked as I opened my eyes looking toward the silver hair boy. He slowly nodded toward me. "That power…no that energy I felt. It-It wasn't human…Jet." I whispered as I stared out toward the sand again. "Not human? You don't mean…it could be?" Jet started to ask. "I don't know for sure…that why I'm trying not to jump to any answers. But…we may have a demon on are hands soon." I whispered quietly so the others wouldn't over hear. "Then the true…goal of those three was that?! To bring that back to filgaia?" jet asked with a shaky voice.
"Yes, I believe so. And if so…they planned things out pretty well. I just hope…this feeling is nothing but wrong." I whispered shaking my head a bit. "Yeah, I hear ya. I hope…that feelings wrong as well." Jet said feeling a head ache coming on. "Don't care for this kind of shit huh?" I asked as I grinned looking toward him. "You know it. But none of us care for this kind of shit." Jet said holing his forehead. "So true…so true…" I whispered as I felt a rain drop hit my forehead. "Huh?" I asked as I watched as it slowly started to rain. "…" Jet keeps silent as he stared up toward the sky watching the rain slowly fall. It didn't rain everyday…maybe only 30 days in the whole year. But it did feel nice when it did rain; maybe because it was always a warm rain. "Rain…" I whispered as I felt my hair starting to get wet. Jet looked around he could see dark clouds in the sky now. But he didn't see them there before hand. He had a bad feeling about this rain. And he knew…they had to get out of it quickly.
"We should head inside…" jet said quickly taking a hold of my hand. "No…I want to stay out here a bit longer…" I said as I closed my eyes. I did like the feeling of the rain hitting my face for some reason. She was always so stubborn. Why did she always have to be this way? "…Sara…" Jet said sounding annoyed again. "You go inside, I'll be in soon." I whispered; just then the sand craft quickly shook a bit. "What the hell was…that?" Jet asked as he looked around the area. "I don't know…maybe we hit something." I said; just then the sand craft shook again. Jet quickly shook his head a bit. "No…that's not it. Something is hitting us!" Jet yelled toward me. "Something?" I asked as the sand craft started to shake again. Just then we heard Clive's voice. "Jet, Sara gets inside the sand craft now!" he yelled. "We would if we could!" Jet quickly yelled back to him. How could we get inside? When were having trouble just keeping are balance standing?
We couldn't! That was the whole point! Just then the sand craft stop shaking. But…was this a trick? "Is it over?" I quietly asked. "Shhh!" Jet quickly answered. From his quick answer…it didn't sound like it was. Just then the sand craft quickly shook again. "Whoa!" I yelled losing my footing. "Damnit…!" Jet cussed as he hurried toward me. I felt my body smack against the deck. I was sure going to feel this for a bit. But I could feel something push against my back. "Damnit…you're as bad as big mouth…" Jet voice growled toward me. "No one that's bad!" I quickly yelled back. "I dunno…it is sure pretty close." Jet said with a sigh. "…nothing that close…"I said feeling angry over take me. Just then me and jet heard a loud growl over us. We both slowly looked up. It was a sand monster. Maybe even the one who had been hitting the sand craft. "Holy shit…" Jet whispered.
For a minute or two we just stared toward the monster; and it stared down toward us in return. "…shouldn't we run inside?" I asked. "The second we move…it will hit us…the odds are not looking too good…" Jet whispered back. "And you think just staying here…is doing us any good?" I asked glaring up toward him. "Yes?" Jet said as he quickly looked away from me. "…it's going to attack…sooner more then later weirdo…" I said still glaring toward him. "Hell I know that. But…there no way we both can make it…" jet pointed out. "Then…what should we do?" I asked. "…Gees…what a pain for things to be like this. Okay…then I tell you too…run for the door alright?" Jet asked as he kept on looking away from me. "But, what about you?" I asked. "You're being stupid! You shouldn't worry about others! I thought you were a drifter for crying out loud! A drifter should worry about nothin' but him or her self!" Jet yelled down toward me. Maybe…he was right; Even if he had said it in a very harsh way. I didn't know what to say back to him after he had gone and said that. Part of me…even wanted to hate him. Even if he was going to cover me so I could get to the door safely.
"Get ready, alright?" He whispered to me. "Okay…" I whispered as I got ready to make a run for it. Jet slowly held his arms by his side. "Ready?" Jet asked. "Yes, but how do you plan to hold him back?" I asked feeling a bit worried. "What did I just tell you? Only worry about your self!" Jet said sounding a bit annoyed. "Fine…forget I asked…" I quickly said. "…okay…go…!" Jet yelled as he started to fire some shots at the monster. But in the end…wouldn't that just piss off the monster? I do worry too much don't I? I wondered as I hurried toward the door. But as I got to the door; I heard a loud yell behind me. I quickly looked behind me as I watched some blood fall into the floor of the deck. "…you bastard…" Jet whispered he tried to keep his arms pointed toward the monster. "…Jet…" I whispered to my self. He didn't cover me. He had shield me from the monster. What the hell had happened to his big talk? About only thinking or worry about one self?! He calls me stupid?! He's the stupid one here! Who had to play hero!
"That son of a--…" I whispered to my self I slowly backed away from the door. Then I felt something quickly grab into my hand. "Where the hell are ya going?!" Gallows asked as he held me back. "Where? Gallows you're not saying just to leave him like that!" I yelled as I looked up toward him. "I don't like it anymore then you do. But the punk would kick my ass if I let ya head back out there!" Gallows yelled. "You don't get it! He has lost too much blood! As he is now!" I cried. "I know, he will not be standin' much longer. But there isn't anything we can do right now! So don't be foolish and throw away what he just saved!" Gallows yelled. Just saved? So…everything he had gone and said…was nothing but big talk! That bastard! I wouldn't let him be foolish. I wasn't the foolish one! He was! Mr. Stubborn was! I quickly tried to head back out there. "Sara, no!" Gallows yelled town to me. "Let go, gallows!" I yelled trying to free my self from his hold. "No! Stop acting like this!" Gallows yelled trying to claim me down. "No! Let go of me…! I have too! Help him!" I cried trying to break free.
"You better keep her back…gallows. Or I'll kick your ass…" Jet yelled back toward us. "Tryin' but…she's not too helpful…" Gallows cried. "Jet! You're an idiot! All you said…was just talk wasn't it?!" I yelled to him. "So what…if it was. It worked didn't it?" Jet asked. How could he act like this…? Even when he was bleeding so much?! "And you call me the stupid one. When your really stupid…even to act as a human shield…!" I yelled to him.
She was right. I was the stupid one. Was being reckless too. Acting as a human shield for another person. I only did it because…of this feeling didn't I? This stupid feeling…that I didn't even wish to speak of. A feeling that feels good to feel…but at the same time…it felt out of place within me. Was she angry? I dunno…maybe she was. IT was a foolish action I had gone and done. But…it wasn't like I could take it back.
"I hear you alright?! Maybe I was stupid too!" Jet yelled toward me. I felt surprised to hear him say something like that. "Damnit…I wish I never felt this way toward you…" Jet growled. "…w-what?" I asked. "…he sure spilled the beans…" gallows whispered quietly. "Nothing…just get inside the damn sand craft." Jet growled as he started shooting at the monster again. What? What had he just said? Did I hear him right? Did Jet just say? I started to wonder as I felt gallows pull on my arm again. "You heard the punk! Let's get inside!" Gallows yelled as he tried to pull me inside the sand craft. "No! I'm not going inside!" I yelled as I quickly pulled a piece of paper out of my left pocket. "No Sara! Not here!" Gallows quickly yelled. I quickly threw the piece of paper toward the monster. "No! It's too dangerous to cast a spell in a place like this!" Gallows quickly yelled. "I don't Care! That bastard still needs to get yelled at more!" I yelled as the piece of paper got closer to the monster.
"Damn…this stupid piece of shit…just will not give!" Jet growled as he reloaded his arms. Just then he heard the monster yell out. "What?" He asked as he saw a smell piece of paper on the monster's forehead. "…ah…crap…" Jet whispered to him self. Was she really this stubborn to go this far? To even cast a spell in a place like this? He couldn't help but wonder. And soon he heard the answer to his question. "Devastate!" He heard her voice quickly yell. "Damnit!" Jet whispered as explosive of energy shocked the monster in its tracks. He now had a chance to get away from the monster…but did he still have the energy to do so? He didn't know. He felt beat. "Jet! What the hell are you doing? Move!" I Yelled as I quickly grab into his hand and started to pull him toward the door. "I told you…to get inside the damn sand craft…" Jet growled as he tried to keep up. "Shut up…just keep moving you idiot!" I yelled as I hurried toward the door as I pulled him along with me.
She calls me the idiot? When she's so careless and reckless casting a spell in a place like this? Even if it was to help me; I never asked for it! What a foolish girl she really is. She's so foolish. Jet felt a small smirk come across his face for some reason. And why it did…he had no idea.
"Freaky, hurry up Sara!" Gallows yelled to me. "I'm coming, alright? Gees…see it worked no--!" I started to say as I felt something cut my back. "S-Sara?" Jet asked as I felt my self quickly fall into the deck. "God damnit! Answer me!" Jet yelled. But quickly stopped as he saw the blood rolling down her back; "What the hell are you doing jet?! Grab her and get inside!" Gallows yelled as he started firing some shots at the monster. The monster had gotten her good. She was…bleeding more then I had been. I growled a bit to my self as I took her arm and put it over my shoulder as I made my way inside. "You're…so stupid…" I growled under my breath. Virginia raced over to me as I laid her on her stomach after we got inside. "Sara!" Virginia cried.
She didn't answer Virginia; more then likely she was out cold. "Virginia! Let Jet take care of her! I need your help to deal with the monster!" Clive yelled to Virginia. I knew Virginia didn't want to leave her side. But…if we didn't deal with the monster; we would all be cut up this badly. "Okay…" Virginia whispered hurrying over to Clive. "Damnit…Clive! Turn this thing around!" Gallows yelled hurrying toward us. "That's what am I doing now…" Clive said as he quickly started to turn the wheel. "Damn…this kid did get bang up pretty bad." Gallows said looking over her cut up back. "Gallows…give me your aqua medium…" I said holding out my hand toward him. "Alright…going to try to heal up ya girlfriend?" gallows asked me as he handed over his medium. "Damnit, I don't have time for your bull-crap now! And she's not my girlfriend!" I quickly yelled as I felt my face turn deep red. "Hehe you're face says different…" Gallows added in. "Gallows!" Clive yelled toward him. "Alright…I'm coming!" Gallows yelled as he hurried over to Clive.
"…I still have to kick his ass later…for letting her head back out to the deck…" I whispered under my breath as I started casting heal on her back. It would stop the bleeding. I was sure of that. But it wouldn't stop the pain. "Damnit…you're so stupid you little bitch…" I whispered to her. "I'm not the stupid one…you are…" I heard her quickly whisper back. "Sara? You're awake?" I asked. "I have been awake…you idiot…" She whispered back to me. "You call me the idiot…when you acted so foolish and reckless?" I asked. "Yep…because you started being the foolish one." She sounded like she was grinning. "This isn't a god damn game Sara! You could have been!" I started to yell. "Could have…but I wasn't is the point." She whispered again. I wanted to yell at her more. Why the hell had she been so stupid? Especially for someone like me?!
"I should be the one yelling at you; not the other way around, Jet…" I whispered as I opened my eyes. Jet didn't say anything back. "I don't like you playing hero. Don't ever do it again, got it?" I asked. "Only…if you don't play hero again as well…" Jet whispered back to me. "We're see what happens…" I whispered back. "I don't like that answer…" Jet growled. "Too bad…It's the answer you're getting." I whispered as I slowly closed my eyes.
"Gallows, fire a flash bomb!" Clive quickly yelled. "Roger!" Gallows yelled as he fired a flash bomb at the monster. The monster let out a loud yell. As it was blinded by the flash bomb. "Virginia load the main guns with all the ammo we have!" Clive yelled to Virginia. "Okay, got it!" Virginia yelled as she finished loading the main guns. "Alright…fire!" Clive yelled as he fired everything out at the monster. The monster let out a loud scream as it disappeared.
"Gees…took everything to get that bugger." Gallows said as he slowly let out a sigh. "Indeed it did. Jet, how is Sara?" Clive asked quickly looking back toward the two. "She's not bleeding anymore." Jet quickly answered. "…I'm not dead here Clive…" I said slowly picking up my head. "Oh my, She's even awake…even better." Clive said with a smile across his face. I think…Virginia is starting to rub off on him. "…how do you feel Sara?" Virginia asked. "Like knifes are stabbing me in the back…" I said glaring toward her. "Try not to move for now." Clive said as he turned back toward the wheel. "I'm sure granny, can do something for ya when we get to baskar." Gallows said. I could only hope gallows was right. My back was killing me. Even if it was my own fault; I had done it for a good reason. Even if Jet wouldn't say so; But…still I questioned my self because of what I heard him say. I wish I never felt his way toward you. I remembered him saying. But…what did he mean? Felt what way about me? Hell…I don't know. Maybe I'll ask him sometime. Just not right now. Maybe…some other time I will ask him.
"By the way gallows…" Jet started to say. "W-what?" Gallows asked as he stepped back a bit. "You let her back out on the deck…so its party your fault this happened." Jet said glaring toward him. "Whoa! Don't even try to pin this all down on me!" Gallows quickly cried. "I don't have to pin! When it is clearly your fault!" Jet yelled. "Hell it is not! Next you're say it's my fault that I let her cast that spell to save your little ass too!" Gallows quickly yelled back. "Well, maybe it is…!" Jet yelled as he stepped back gallows. I slowly shook my head a bit. They will fight about anything…don't they? I wondered. And soon I would get a head ache as well. "Come on, Stop it!" Virginia quickly yelled toward the two of them. "What good does it go to blame each other now? What done is done! So knock it off!" Virginia yelled as the two glared at each other again before turning away from one another. They act like children. Really…they both do.
"…we're about to baskar I can see the beach…" Clive pointed out to us. I was glad to hear that. And the sooner we landed the better. And soon we did land on the beach a bit south of baskar. "Sara do you think you can walk as you are?" Clive asked as he turned away from the wheel. I didn't know…so the only way I would find out was if I tried. "I don't know…" I whispered as I slowly sat up. I could feel the sharp pain in my back just as I sat up. I was sure I was making faces out of pain even if I was trying not too. "From the look of it…I don't think you should try it…" Virginia said sounding a bit worried about me. "Then how the hell am I getting to town…?" I asked as I glared toward her. "Ahh well…" Virginia started to say looking a bit lost. "…Someone could help her walk tow own or even carry her." Clive quickly added in. Carry me?! I'm not a child! I don't need anyone carrying me. "I'll carry her then!" Gallows said with a small grin across his face. "Jet, if you would." Clive said ignoring gallows. "Why should I?" Jet asked as he looked away. "Well…it wouldn't be the first time you carried her, Jet." Virginia said with a huge grin across her face.
"Shut the hell up!" Jet quickly yelled as his face quickly turned deep red. Did I miss something? Just had carried me before? I wondered as I felt and looked lost. "Jet carried you from yggdrasil…when you fainted…" Clive whispered to me. He did? But he didn't say a word to me about me. "He wanted to carry you. And wouldn't let anyone but him self do so." Clive whispered again as he smiled toward me. Why…did I feel so embarrassed to hear Clive tell me the truth I didn't know? "Fine, fine! Alright! I'll do it, alright!" jet yelled as he stepped beside me. "Very good. We will go on, ahead. Gallows and Virginia let's be on are way." Clive said as he made his way out of the sand craft. "Have fun ya, two!" Gallows said with a laugh as he quickly followed after Clive. And Virginia grinned before she left as well. This felt so embarrassing. To be carried by someone…even if he gone and don't it before. "…Let's get this over with…" Jet quickly whispered as he quickly picked me up; so quickly that I was surprised. He had one arm under my legs and the other behind my back.
"Ouch…" I whined feeling his arm rub against where I was cut up. "…I-I wasn't trying to touch where you're cut up…" He nervously whispered to me. "I-I know that! But…aren't I heavy to carry?" I asked feeling my self growing nervous for some reason. But why the hell would I be nervous around him? "No…your very light…" Jet whispered as he started to make his way out of the sand craft. "…Are you cut up at all from that monster, Jet?" I asked. "A little around my stomach…but it's nothin' that can kill me." He lied. "…Bull shit. I saw how much blood you lost. Stop lying to my face, enduro!" I said feeling angry toward the silver hair boy. "You worry about others too much; you should just be worried about your self." Jet quickly said. That was sure a jet thing to say. Maybe it was even a rule of Jet's. But…maybe I was cut up…a lot worse then I thought I was. "You have no idea how deep you are really cut, so start worrying about your self a little!" Jet quickly yelled at me. I gave him a surprised look. He looked angry toward me. He was being really serious. "I-I'm sorry…your right Jet…I should worry about my self shouldn't I?" I asked as I quickly looked away from him. "…" jet didn't answer as we slowly got closer and closer to Baskar. Virginia the others most likely had headed inside the village ahead of us.
"Sorry…I said too much again. But…I don't like it. It like you think less of your self now." Jet whispered to me. Did I really act that way? I didn't think I did. But maybe other people can only see how others act different. "I only did what I did…because I wanted to Jet. I have no other reason…for why I helped you out back there…" I whispered to him. "Still…a stupid reason…" Jet said sounding annoyed. "Is it now? Then why did someone act as a human shield for me?" I quickly asked. "I-I don't have to answer that question!" Jet quickly answered me. "So…someone not going to answer the question?" I asked feeling a small smile come across my face. "So, what if I am!" Jet said defense him self. But for some reason…then I started to wonder again. What kind of relationship do I really have with Jet? But I have wondered this before haven't I? Yes…I'm sure I have. But I have never just gone and asked him. I wonder why…I haven't asked? But I know…one thing; whatever relationship I have with him. It was a weird one regardless; that was for sure.
Soon we had entered Baskar colony. We found Clive waiting for us. "There you two are gallows and Virginia when to see Lady Halle. He said we should wait at his place." Clive said starting toward gallows' house. Jet slowly followed after him. We're both silent for the walk…short walk to gallows' house. Clive didn't say a word as well. I couldn't help but wonder what Halle could really do to help me. But…then again she was a priestess. She may even specially in something like this. Soon we entered gallows' house and jet placed me on one of the beds and lied me on my stomach. "Can halle really do something about a cut this deep?" Jet quickly asked Clive out no where. "I'm sure she can. Being a priestess…she specially in healing. She may even have special herbs that can lower how much pain, Sara is feeling now." Clive said. Clive was right…the right kind of herbs could help me in no time. "You have more knowledge then ever…" We heard Halle's voice say as she made her way up the stairs toward us.
"Lady Halle, it is nice to see you again." Clive quickly greeted her. "No need for small talk. Out all of you! So I can see how deep this cut is. Virginia was talking about." Halle said as she waved her staff at her side. "Very well, come now jet." Clive said as he made his way out of the house. Jet slowly nodded as he slowly followed Clive's lead and soon left the house as well. "Now…that they are gone let me see how banged up you really are missy." Halle said as she looked down toward me. I slowly nodded as I pulled my shirt up and whined a bit as I did so. "…yep, you surely did bang your up good. And it pretty deep as well." Halle said as she shook her head a bit. "That what Jet said…" I whispered feeling a bit annoyed now. "…I have herbs that can lower the pain you will feel. But more then likely it will heal into a scar in time." Halle said as she pulled some herbs out of a small bag at her side. "Then…how do I put them on me?" I asked; as I slowly pulled my shirt back down. "You don't." Halle quickly answered me.
"Then how do I?" I started to ask. "You bathe in the herbs…you put them in very hot water and bathe in it. But these are very strong herbs. Even if they do help you, it will still be painful." Halle warned me. "…will they help…the cut become a scar quicker?" I asked as I slowly sat up. "It's hard to say, your back is cut up pretty deep. Even with the herbs it will still take some time. But you need to take better care of your self, young Shaman." Halle whispered as she patted me on the shoulder. "Yes…I know, I need too…" I whispered as Halle handed some herbs over to me. "I know…it's hard on you. But you're still trying…but you have a heavy destiny to carry; a path that can't be changed no matter how hard one tries too." Halle was getting at something. But what this something was…I had no idea. "…what do you mean, Halle?" I quickly asked. "I want you to remember this. Everything happens for a reason dear. And no one can ever out run matters as this." Halle was trying to tell me something without really saying what that something was. "Are you saying…this was going to happen?" I asked feeling surprised as I looked toward her. "Why do you ask a question you know the answer too? I believe your dream seen could tell you." Halle said as she eyed me. But…how in the world did she know that I had?! I started to wonder.
"No need to look so shocked, dear. Where do you think baskar's power truth came from?" Halle asked me. "From shamans?" I asked. "Yes, that right. A long time ago…shamans' married into families here. But now…one wouldn't know this. There is about none of they're power left here, aside of the dream seen Shane has from his training now." Halle said. "Is…my dream seen more advance? I been seeing things…lately…and they…" I started to say as I looked away. "Happen? Yes, your dream seen…shows you or your soon to be future. More like a warning, but even if it is…a warning. No one can escape from one's future. It will happen. No matter what one tries, always remember this." Halle warned me. My soon to be future? That what my dream seen would show me as a warning. But Halle was right. No one can run from they're own future.
I slowly nodded toward her as I held the herbs in my hands. "If you wish…you can start using them now, if you like." Halle said as she started away from where I was still sitting. "Using them now? How there no bathing area around here…is there?" I asked as I slowly made my way to my feet. "There is one…a special one not even my grandsons know of…" Halle whispered as she made her way down some stairs. I quickly followed after her. She touched a switch on the wall with her staff as a door slowly appeared. "It's in there a special bathing area, it is only used to heal sickness or Case like your self…but remember to put the herbs in first." Halle warned me. "I will…thank you for your help Halle." I whispered I smiled toward her. "No need to thank me dear, just take better care of your self alright? And be careful…that water is always pretty hot." Halle warned me again. "I will…but Halle…could you do one small thing for me?" I asked still feeling worried about something. "Sure thing dear, name it." Halle said as she smiled toward me. I wanted her to check; because I don't believe him at all. "Jet was cut up pretty bad…as well so could you?" I started to ask. "Ah, say no more. I'll take care of it. You just get those herbs into your self alright?" Halle said as she made her way out of the house. She is a very kind…old woman. But she can be stubborn at times just like gallows. Well I guess…they are family after all.
There was one thing I could never stand. And that was always waiting. And here I was waiting again. But this time I was waiting for something. And for this stupid pain to go away, I was all cut up because of that stupid girl! Why had I just gone and done what I did?! I don't know…I was so rush less. Maybe I was just foolish too. Did I act that way because…I wanted to protect her?! If so…that's a stupid reason for what I did. Even if…it was true. I have changed too much haven't I? I wondered as I stared up toward the sky. "Ah, there you are Jet!" I heard a voice call to me. I watched Halle slowly walk over to me. "Oh…it's you. What do you want?" I asked wanting nothing to do with her. "Now, now that's no way to greet someone." Halle said as she shook her head a bit. She was up to something…I could tell. "I'll say it again…what do you want?" I asked as I watched her closely. "You catch on quickly. But…I hear the monster cut you up as well. So let's see it." Halle said as she stepped a bit closer to me. "Where in the world did you hear? Oh…gees Sara starting to get a big mouth." I growled a bit to my self. I didn't need two girls with big mouths around me. "Bit mouth or not. She is worried about you. Why…I don't know seeing how you act. She shouldn't show you kindness." Halle said as she grinned toward me. "HEY!" I quickly yelled toward her. She was really starting to piss me off. Easy to annoy as well as angrier; what a bad type." Halle whispered as she shook her head. "…Why…!!" I felt my self shake with angry. You need to learn to control your emoties my boy. Or someday they will get you in real trouble." Halle warned me.
"Whatever…" I whispered as I closed my eyes. Halle shook her head a bit. "Now…then let me see what that monster did to you." Halle said as she tried to pull my shirt up. "What the hell are you doing?!" I quickly yelled toward the old woman. "Trying to check to see how bad you are cut up; now stop fighting me!" Halle screamed at me. But I wasn't going to give in to an old hag as her! But soon I got tried of this stupid little game of her's and gave up. "Alright! See? THERE HAPPY?" I asked out of angry as I showed her the cut I got from the monster. "Hmm…your is pretty deep too." Halle quickly said. "Deep too?" I asked as I gave her a confused look. "…that will become a scar in time. Before that…you will soon feel surely some pain." Halle said looking at the cut over my stomach. "You're a little late…that started as it is. But it isn't that bad, I'll live." I said shrugging a bit. "Well…if the monster hit you with its claws…you may have some poison as well in there." Halle warned me. Poison? I never really thought of that. And soon the poison would get to me. "…then I take it you have something that can fix this?" I asked as I glared toward her. "Normally I would say no. But…I am doing this on a request of someone…I will help you this time boy. But you really should get some matters." Halle warned me again.
I felt my self glaring toward the old woman again. Matters! Matters! God! I'll say or act how ever I want! I don't give a shit what they say! Wait…doing this as a request from who? "Who asked you to do this?" I asked my wondering getting the better of me. "You sure forget things easy boy. I told you once, I am not telling you again! Now come this way!" Halle yelled as she started toward gallows' house. I lightly cussed under my breathe. "I heard that!" I heard Halle quickly yell toward me. I kicked up a bit of dirty before following her toward gallows' house then we headed inside. Soon after we got inside she handed some herbs over to me. "…what are these for?" I asked. "To remove the poison from your body child. And the blue ones to lower the pain your feeling right now." Halle quickly told me. I didn't get it. Why did I need the other ones? Couldn't I just take antidote to remove the poison from my body? That always worked before. "…what with that face? When I have gone to so much trouble to help you." Halle asked. "Couldn't I just take antidote to remove the poison from my body?" I asked. "You could…but the poison is circling in your body as we speak. That other herb I gave you is much stronger and will have no trouble removing the poison now." Halle pointed out to me.
God damnit…why the hell was she always right when she talks?! "…ugh fine how do I take the one for the poison?" I asked as I felt my self growl a bit. "You take it in water, but be warned! It will taste very bitter." Halle warned me again. "And the other one?" I asked stared at the weird blue herb. "You bathe in that one." Halle answered me. "I…what?" I asked as I gave her a look like she was crazy or something. "You heard me. So don't you what me." Halle was serious. I had to bathe in an herb? Something about that just didn't sound right! "Gees…" I growled to my self. "I'll show you where you can bathe in that…but no looking over the wall in the place got it?" Halle asked as she glared toward me. "Alright…I got it. But I'm not a pervert like Gallows." I said as I felt a bit annoyed. "So true…" Halle whispered as she hit something on the wall as a door slowly appeared. "This is a special area…only used to cure or more so heal people. So don't get used to it, got it?" I only nodded to her in answer as I slowly entered the bathing area. I could see a huge wall to the right. But I couldn't help but wonder why not to look over the wall. Was another person here as well?
"Put the herb in the water then bathe in it. But be warned, the water is always pretty hot." Halle warned me again. "Okay…okay I got it!" I said as I growled a bit. "Good…then I'll be on my way, but again boy do not look over that wall." Halle warned me again before she left. Gees…why the hell does she have to tell me everything two times?! I'm not an idiot like gallows. I felt annoyed as I took the other herb and put it in a glass of water and drunk it. "Ahh…that is bitter…" I whispered to my self as I stared down at the glass. But soon I did finish drinking the bitter water. I never wanted to ever have to drink that ever again. Then I when ahead and put the blue herb into the boiling water as Halle called it. This was going to burn like hell. I just knew…it would. Soon I under dressed and started to climb into the boiling water. "Damn…she wasn't kidding…" I whispered to my self as I stepped in the water. It was boiling hot. But what the hell keep the freaky water this hot?! Bloody hell I dunno…and I have to sit down…in this boiling water? Damnit…I thought as I slowly sat down in the boiling water.
The water was boiling hot. But I could take it. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. But…I kept thought I was hearing someone cussing on the other side of the wall. But…was someone really in here aside from my self. And if someone was…was it a guy?! I could only hope not. I mean…I didn't have anything on here. And just a wall was keeping that person away from me. "God Damnit! This freaky burns!" I heard a voice yell. I knew that voice…far too well. "…Jet?" I asked as I Looked up toward the wall. At first I didn't hear answer. But soon after a pause I did. "Sara?" Jet voice asked sounding a bit confused. "Yes, it's me. I thought you were over there, from all the cussing I was hearing." I said as I felt a small grin come into my face. "Ha ha…very funny." Jet said sounding a bit annoyed with me. "Well…I thought it was." I said as I felt my self still grinning a bit. "Uh huh…" jet said still sounding a bit annoyed with me. "…If you even think about looking over this wall…" I started to say. "Hey! I wouldn't! I'm not a pervert like gallows!" Jet quickly yelled. "Good glad to hear it." I said as I closed my eyes. Then I heard him starting to cuss again. Was it because of the water?
"Damnit! This still freaky burns!" Jet yelled. Yet, it did sound like he was talking about the water. The water still felt very warm. But…it didn't feel boiling anymore. Maybe my body was used to the heat of the water now. "Your…not used to the water temper by now?" I asked. "Used to it?! It's like sitting in a boiling pot!" Jet quickly yelled back to me. Yep…he wasn't used to it. "How in the world are you used to it?" Jet quickly asked. "Well…maybe girls can take things like pain more then guys can." I pointed out. "Girls take more pain then guys? Should I start laughing now?" Jet asked. He sounded like he would start laughing soon. "You're an idiot!" I yelled back to him. How in the world could he just go and say something like that? "What? Why? I'm only telling the truth!" jet yelled back. How could he just say that? Telling the truth? "Telling the truth my ass! How can you say that when?" I started to ask. When I quickly stopped my self. Maybe he didn't even know about that! "When what?" Jet asked sounding puzzled. "Nothing forget it!" I quickly yelled back to him. "Hell! I will not! I want to know what the hell you're so angry about!" Jet yelled as he stood up. "O-oops…" Jet whispered quietly. "JET! I TOLD YOU NOT TO LOOK!" I screamed at him. "I-I didn't try too! It just kindly happened!!" Jet yelled back. "Stop throwing things at me!" Jet yelled. "I will then you stop looking! You pervert!" I screamed again toward the silver hair boy. "Damnit! I'm sorry okay?! Now stop throwing things at me!!" Jet yelled as he covered up his head.
Soon after that the two of us got out of the boiling water then got dressed and made are way out of Halle's house. But if he thought I was done being angry with him. He was died wrong! "Don't tell me you're still angry…" Jet said as he growled a bit. "I have every right to still be angry!" I yelled to him. "I said I was freaky sorry! What more can I say?!" Jet yelled toward me. I didn't say a word as I stepped away from him. "Hey! I'm still talking to you!" Jet yelled toward me. I saw Virginia waving toward us. It looked like she wanted us to come to her. So I started to make my way toward her.
"Hey!" I yelled toward her again. God-damnit! Why the hell was she ignoring me now?! I don't even understand why she is angry to start with! Well…maybe I do understand. I mean…I did see her…Jet started to think. But then he quickly shook his head trying to get that thought out of his mind. But for some reason…she acted like she was angry over something beside that. Damnit…this is to damn confusing! Jet growled a bit to him self as she slowly made his way over to Virginia. Where Sara was now too. "There you two are!" Virginia greeted them as they both got to her. "So…were you two taking a walk or something alone?" Virginia asked as she grinned about it. "No." Sara quickly snapped. That great…just great piss her off even more Virginia, I thought. "I see…" Virginia said as she stepped back a bit. "Where are Clive and Gallows?" Sara asked as she quickly changed the subject. "Inside the temple with halle. They are waiting for us. So we should head inside now." Virginia said as she made her way inside. "Sara?" I asked. "Not now…" she quickly snapped as she made her way inside as well. I could hear my self cussing inside my head. Wouldn't been better to deal with it now? More then deal with it later?! I wondered. But for now…I guessed it couldn't be helped. I sighed a bit as I slowly made my way inside the temple as well.
"Granny, you in here? I'm comin' in." Gallows yelled as soon as we entered. Halle and Shane turned around to look toward us. "The fact that I cannot teach you any matters show how I am going senile with age…" halle said as she eyed gallows. "Brother! What are you doing here?" Shane asked looking surprised. "I'm glad you're both here. We can all plan together." Gallows said as she nodded to him self. "So, what is it now?" Halle asked. "The guardians sent us a warning of fear and anxiety through the use of the mediums…" Gallows started to say. "Guardians are the powers that sustain the world. If the guardians are sending a warning that means…" Halle started to say as she looked toward me. "A big disaster maybe nigh here on filgaia…there was a great war that threatened the existence of the planet long ago…" halle said as she shook her head a bit. Was she speaking of the war with the demons?! That we always heard about in? I started to ask my self.
Halle when ahead and told us about the Great War. "…And that was that. Ever since, we…" Halle sighed a bit as she shook her head again. I looked around. I could tell three people didn't listen to her. Namely Gallows, Jet or Virginia. "It appears we are not used to long lectures such as this…even for me, three and a half hours of…" Clive started to say as he rubbed his left cheek a bit. The look on Halle face looked pretty angry. She was going to…I thought. "You are all incompetent!!" Halle yelled toward us. We all stood back a bit in surprise. "That's it from me! NO MORE!" Halle yelled again. "Sorry Granny, don't get so mad…c'mon, you're ruining your reputation as Miss Grudier of one hundred years ago. You go, belle the earth elemental!!" Gallows said. He really doesn't know when to keep his mouth closed. Does he? "It's too late to try and humor me. I'm not telling you anything! Nothing! Nothing at all!" Halle yelled again. "Please reconsider. Your knowledge is indispensable." Clive said. "I told you already I know nothing. But if you still want to know, to the world's footprint and find out for your self!" Halle finished yelling toward us. "The world's footprint…?" Virginia asked.
"Shane, take these dimwits to the world's footprint, will you?" Halle asked him. Shane looked surprised as he looked to Halle; as he pointed to him self. "Yes, you. I am talking to you." Halle said to Shane. "But, I'm still a trainee as a Pillar…would it be all right for me to venture out of the colony?" Shane asked. "Filgaia is in imminent danger! It is a pillar's duty to do whatever he can in times like these!! You have my permission. Take this big fool to where he needs to go!" Halle yelled to Shane. "At once!" Shane said as he smiled to his grandmother. Then Shane ran over to us. "I can't believe I get to actually help you, brother…we head 12:00 Straight from infinitum the world's footprint is located past the dunes. Let us be on our way!" Shane said. "We're countin' on you, Shane!" gallows said as they started to make they're way out of the temple.
"Halle?" I asked her. "What is it, Shaman?" She asked. "…I want to know everything I can about the lost ones...please tell me." I said quickly. "The lost ones huh? Has one been speaking with you?" Hale asked. I slowly nodded. "I see. I will tell you everything…but only when you return from the world's footprint. I want you to go with them; you may even learn something there as well." Halle said as she smiled toward me. "I'll…I guess I'll see you when we return…" I said as I made my way out of the temple to catch up with the others. "That you will child. The lost ones? Or should I call them the Guardian lords?" Halle asked her self as she turned around to star up at a rune over head.
Soon we left baskar headed back inside the sand craft and started to make our way north. We headed past a small island and around some land where we found a beach and landed there. On the land we headed to the lower part that was just north of the time guardian's temple. That was where we found it. Where we found the world's footprint then we headed inside. "This was originally a shine of the guardian lords, but their powers are long gone. But it's still regarded as significant in a different sense." Shane told us as soon as we entered. "Guardian lords?" I asked. "There were four guardians that stood watch over all the others. They had many names. But many people knew them as The Guardian lords or lost ones." Shane said. I felt surprised to hear that. "In a different sense?" Virginia asked. "Yes, this shrine housed mural paintings, which recount the history of filgaia." Shane told us. "Similar to a historical museum?" Clive asked. "Yes, you could say that. Let us then perceive the details about the Great War, which took place on filgaia…" Shane said as he closed his eyes.
With that we started are way down the stairs in front of us and entered the door at the bottom. In the next room we just headed straight to some more stairs and entered the door a head of us. In the next room jet stepped on a switch and the door opened a head of us. Then we quietly headed inside the door ahead of us. We found a painting in this room. "First let us go back approximately 2,200 years…this is a painting of when the Neosapiens first came down to this planet." Shane pointed out to us. "Neosapiens?" Virginia asked as she looked a bit lost. "They are believed to be the progenitors of humans." Shane said. "So that ship floating up top is the immigrant ship?" Virginia asked. "Yes, but even before their arrival an indigenous race called the Elw inhabited filgaia." Shane told us. "Elws are mentioned in folklore, just like the demons. They are said to have been a beautiful race, with long pointy ears. Many traces of their everyday lives are excavated even to this day." Shane said as he shook his head a bit. "This was when the two races…two different cultures came face to face." Shane said and nodded to us to move on.
But for some reason…I kept on feeling some UN normal energy in this place. Was…something going to happen here? I couldn't help but wonder. "Sara…is everything alright?" Clive asked. "I'm not sure…I keep feeling something…a very low energy…but I can't tell what it is." I said as I looked around the room. "I see…I guess we should be ready even in a place like this…" Clive pointed out. "Yeah…I think we should." I whispered back to him. "We should catch up to the others now…" Clive whispered to me. I nodded toward him. We made are way down the hall way in front of us and entered the door at the end.
In this room we just headed down a long hall way and entered a door at the end. We found another painting in this room. "This painting illustrates an event 1,300 yeas ago. The Elws had welcomed the immigrant people with open arms. The Elws and the neosapiens lived harmoniously on this planet for a very long time. However, that all came to an end. Perhaps over coming differences in race was much too difficult. The two sides filled with contempt and hate, began to battle it out. Thus began the great wear…which pushed the planet to the brink of extinction. The neosapiens utilized the power of science and technology for weapons, while the Elws used the roar and terror of the guardians. The hostilities of war spread throughout filgaia…" Shane said as he looked toward us. Gallows shook his head a bit. "How ironic that the guardians' first enemy was none other then our forefathers…" Gallows said. He was right…it was. But I couldn't help but wonder when shamans came into the picture on filgaia. Soon after that we started are way down the hallway in front of us and entered the door at the end. In this room we just headed down the long hall way and entered the door at the bottom. In this room we found 9 switches for the door to open we head to hit them in the right way. The top right one was lit up. Then we hit the center one; then the lower right one. Then the upper center one. Then the upper center one. Then the center left one; then the upper left one. Then the right center one; then the lower left one and then finally the lower center switch. Then the door ahead of us opened. Then we headed inside the now open door.
In this room we found another painting. "The great war raged so long that the people fighting it forgot how the war started in the first place. The war finally came to an end, approximately 400 years before the present. The neosapiens and the Elws signed a cease-fire agreement, and the fires of war over filgaia were finally extinguished. This war that was thought to be never-ending left the battle scars all over filgaia…" Shane said as she looked toward us. "At least they were smart enough to end the war before they lost the planet in which they lived." Clive said as he pushed his glasses up. With that the others started they're way down the hall way in front of us. But…I felt it again that sense. It was much stronger this time. Did that mean…we're getting close to something? "Sara? What is it?" The silver hair boy asked me. "I don't know…I keep feeling some UN normal energy in this place…" I whispered back to him. "You can't tell what it is?" He asked again. "No…I can't. Whatever it is…it's like…it's trying to hide it's self…" I said looking around the room. I had…a bad feeling. And this feeling was making it feel like my stomach would turn. "More then anything it sounds like trouble…" Jet said as he rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah…I wouldn't be surprised if it really is trouble…" I whispered back to him. "We should catch up with the others…" Jet nodded to me as we hurried down the hall way and into the door at the end. In this room we made are way down a long hall way and entered a door at the end.
We found another painting in this room. "To the Elws, who were deeply attached to and relied on the planet's life, these battle scars were a serious threat to their existence. The population of the Elws began to diminish at an alarming rate. And so, the neosapiens and Elws decided to join hands once again, this time to rejuvenate the planet. However, it was too late." Shane said as she shook his head a bit. "Approximately 150 years ago from today, the birth of the last Elw signified the end of the Elw race. The remaining neosapiens repented for all their sins, and vowed to do everything in their power to revitalize the environment. Amidst the fervor of pro-environmental sentiments, the last Elw Mariel gave rise to the Baskar Creed." Shane said as he shook his head a bit. "Mariel?" Virginia asked. "It is said that she parted company with the Baskar after a bitter disagreement. However, the Elw race are said to have great longevity. That is why to this day, we continue our efforts and pray that our separated paths will and day cross yet again…" Shane said as she stared toward the floor. "So ultimately, it was our forefathers who drove away the indigenous tribe from this planet…" Virginia whispered quietly as she stared toward the floor.
"It maybe that our very existence is unhallowed." Clive whispered as he shook his head a bit. "Are we even worthy of fighting for this planet?" Gallows asked. "Heh! Dwelling in the past ain't gonna change anything! I hate that kinda stuff!" Jet quickly yelled. He did have a point even if it was in a harsh way. "Wait…Jet's right…we can't change what happened by sulking over it. Hold your head high! We may be trained, but that's one more reason why we have to protect the planet! In place of the Elws, we're the ones who have to deliver a future for this planet today! It that's our only way of making amends…" Virginia said as she looked to each one of us. She was right. But as long as they're were people who were different…the real fighting would never stop. Bu tone can only do as much as he or she can. And to the best of they're abilities. We slowly nodded toward each other as we started are way down the hall way. But it was stronger now; that energy. It was like…every step I took it became stronger and stronger. And…it felt familiar again too. But…how the hell was it familiar?! I had no idea. I wouldn't know the answer…until I found out what was making this energy. At the end of the hall way we entered a door. In this room we headed down a long hall way and entered a door at the end.
We found another painting inside this room. But what was on the painting…It looked like the tree of life…Yggdrasil for some reason. "This painting depicts the event of approximately 100 years ago. I'm sure you all know what this signifies." Shane said as he looked toward us. "The yggdrasil system, correct?" Clive asked. Yggdrasil…was a name…I never wanted to hear again. "Yggdrasil was created to revitalize filgaia's environment. However…my brother has told me a little bit about what happened…" Shane said as he stared toward us. "As long as we live on this planet, we're the ones who have to protect the planet's future…" Virginia quickly said. "However, looking back at history there is only mention of neosapiens who threaten this planet. I'm not quite sure what this means…perhaps we are meant to harm the planet once again…" Clive said looking worried about the thought. "Within these Mural chambers lies only facts about the past. It is up to the people of the present to figure out how we want to interpret this. We may still be in the dark now, but I'm sure we will find the truth within them." Shane said as he stared toward us. "Looking for a shortcut can lead you astray…that is what my professor always used to say. Yes, I understand now. I am always jumping to conclusions…" Clive said as he shook his head a bit. "Is that is for the paintings?" Gallows asked Shane. "No…there is actually one more in the back…yes, I believe this would be a good opportunity to see the last mural." Shane said as he looked toward the door ahead of us. With that we made are way down the hall way and entered the door at the end.
In this room there were four different color blocks and four different color spots on the floor. Clive when ahead and started to read the stone in front of us. "Yellow are the people aboard a white ship. Silver and Green are the Elws. Ignite the white ship and paint it red. People are People, and Elws are Elws." Clive said as he finished reading the Stone. "And that's mean?" gallows asked. "Hmm…Virginia throws a tinder crest at the white block." Clive said as he pointed toward it. Virginia slowly nodded and did so. Then the block changed to red. "I see…" Clive whispered to him self as he put on his mighty gloves. He placed the red block on the upper left spot; the yellow block on the lower left spot. The green block on the upper right spot; and finally the last block on the lower right spot. Then the door ahead of us opened. Then we headed inside the door ahead of us. In this room we just headed down a hall way and entered a door at the bottom.
We found the last painting in this room. "This is the last painting." Shane said as he pointed to it. But…nothing was on it. "But it's…blank." Virginia said. "This mural depicts the future, which lies in wait. It is up to the individual to see this as despair and hopelessness…or as a future which has yet to be painted." Shane pointed out to us. "Of course, I'd like to see something painted on there." Gallows said. "Yes, something great and exciting." Shane said as he nodded toward his brother. "Yeah, yeah but what's with all this rubble? Why's this the only place that's all messed up?" Jet asked as he looked around the room. "This wreckage is of an idol modeled after the supreme guardians, the guardian lords." Shane pointed out to us. So…before this is where they may have been. "Guardian lords?" Virginia asked. "Raftina, Justine, Zephyr and Luceid…Guardians who preside over the unlimited power of the heart, which everyone possesses…they reigned over all guardians, but disappeared before the planet began decaying…right?" Gallows asked as he looked to his little brother. Shane slowly nodded toward him. "See? I've been studying!" Gallows cried.
"We do not know the whereabouts of the guardian lords' lost powers, but we must find them someday. The teachings of Baskar state that a future for the planet will not arrive will not arrive without them." Shane said. Whereabouts they do not know? Does that mean…Halle will tell me that as well…when we return to baskar? Finding them…Is looking more and more hopeless…I thought. "A future for the planet…It was just the other day I left my town to become a drifter, and before I know it, I'm involved with the future of the planet…this is a very serious situation. It's so serious, I can't seem to comprehend everything, but I do know that we have to do something!" Virginia said as she looked to the others. "I'm not sure how helpful this was, but this is the last of the murals. We should head back soon." Shane said to us.
And with that we left the room and started to make are way back. But I didn't tell Clive nor Jet I still felt that energy. It was very strong right now. Like it was waiting for something or someone. But as we made are way up the stairs…three people appeared before us. Gallows hurried in front of Shane. "Looks like…you were right…" Jet whispered to me as he backed up a little. "No…it can't be…" Virginia whispered. The three slowly turned around to look at us. This energy wasn't human…I now knew. "No way…" Virginia whispered as she got a good look at them. "Muh hah hah…how nice to see you again…" Lee halt said with a grin across his face. Jet quickly stepped in front of me. "Lee halt…Melody…and Malik…?" Virginia asked. "It's them…but this energy…they gave they're bodies to demons…" I whispered feeling my breathing growing heavy. "A-A-Are these the enemies my brother has been fighting? The one who threaten filgaia?" Shane asked. "Ah, very good shaman…you can tell. What's wrong? You look like you're in pain." Lee halt said with a laugh. Jet quickly growled toward Lee halt. But what in the world…would have the power to transform them as this?! "Here is a little something to celebrate our reunion." Lee halt said as he summoned monsters before us.
They took out the Scarecrow monster first. Just with some galtings on him; he soon fell. Then they when after stream gear next. Just with some galtings shot on him; he soon fell as well. And finally they when after Leonhardt. After two or Galtings he fell as well. "Not only did you lose your soul, I see that you're lost your human form as well!" Virginia yelled toward them soon after the monsters were gone. "We have given up and disposed of all of that. Along with all our weaknesses…thanks to the demon lord, Siegfried." Lee halt said. "S-Siegfried?" I whispered to my self. I-I knew that name! Just then a blue light appeared in the room and a man in blue armor appeared. Blue armor?! The three of them bowed to the one in blue armor. "Are they the ones who can unleash the power of guardians in this present day? But filgaia is impoverished. The power of the guardians must be limited. Surely you should be able to defeat them?" Siegfried said as he looked to the three. "No, sire…if only we were graced with the power of demons as you are, these rogues would have been long gone." Lee halt said to him as he kept on bowing. "Siegfried…" Virginia whispered to her self. "However, we still have other matters we would like to take care of before we dispose of them." Lee halt said. "These rogues have taken everything from us!" Malik yelled. "These rogues insult us!" Melody yelled as well. "You seek vengeance? Interesting…" Siegfried whispered to him self.
We stood back a bit as we watched the four in front of us. "I shall bestow the power of demons upon all of you…and to you…I shall instill fear. You will have front row seats to witness this planet's transformation. Until then, continue to struggle as you do now…" Siegfried said as he held his arms out to his side. "Wait Siegfried!" I yelled to him. His energy was what I felt…that was familiar. "Ah…a shaman a live in this day and age? Heheh…if you know what good for you little shaman do not fight with these foolish ones or it will be your grave you have been warned." Siegfried said with a laugh as he disappeared and the three followed him. "Th-that's the blue menace that appears in my dreams…" Shane whispered to him self. Soon after that we returned to baskar and spoke with Halle. "We found out who the guardians' enemies were. And how baskar came about. We got a general idea of that planet's history…but what good does that do us!? The guardians have declared the demons from folklore the enemies yet again, but we're dealing with the present now!" Gallows yelled as we stood around the fire in gallows' house. "Will you cool it for a minute! Having you fret isn't going to solve a thing! This planet's enemies are not the demon artifacts, he maybe only one, but a demon has risen from the ages of folklores…how do we face him? What do we do? The power of the guardians defeated him in the past, but how effective are their decayed powers now? That's…it!" Halle said as she looked toward me. And slowly the other did as well.
"W-what?" I asked. "What guardian lord has been speaking to you." Halle quickly asked. "Speaking to her?" Gallows asked. "The guardian lords only speak to a shaman when danger is coming…and she asked about them before you head to the world's footprint." Halle pointed out. "Sara?" Virginia asked. "Raftina…been speaking with me…" I quickly answered. "Ah…I see…what did she tell you to do?" Halle asked. "To find four statues with there powers inside of them. But she never told me where on filgaia they are." I pointed out. "Yes…the power of the lost guardian lords…if you can find them and awakened them then maybe…" halle whispered. "Erghh! Trying to figure out everything at once is making my head explode!" Halle cried. "What we currently know…is that a demon is trying to do something with this planet. Do you remember the words that blue demon knight, Siegfried said to us?" Clive asked the others. "This planet will transform…do you think that refers to the evolution of filgaia—what the prophets wanted?" Virginia asked. "In a broad sense, yes. However, we are dealing with demons who are said to have left behind the wisdom of Hyades. There must be a more definite and concrete malice behind his words…" Clive has a point. But what he malice we didn't know.
Halle started toward the door. "Where you goin' granny?" Gallows asked her. "An invasion from another world can only be dealt with by the power that sustains the world, guardians…with such limited options, there's really no use thinking about it. Plus, I'm sure we're all hungry. We can't come up with good ideas on an empty stomach. I'm going to go fix some dinner. Join me if you'd like. In fact, I suggest you spend the night." Halle said with that we did spend the night in baskar. Soon the next morning came and it looked like Clive came up with an idea where to go next.
"There was a ruin that my professor and I investigated, that contained a device capable of transforming the planet. IT was an old devise that hardly even functioned. But for us, who haven't the foggiest idea what to do next, I believe this may prove to be a good lead." Clive said. "I think we should go there. But…" Virginia started to say. "Are you all right, Clive? You look a little down…" Virginia said as she looked worried toward him. "Sorry to worry you. Yes, I am fine…it's just that I have bitter memories of that place…but really, I am okay…" Clive said as he shrugged a little. "Okay…but don't strain your self." Virginia said sounding a bit worried. Clive then took something out of his pocket. "It is an old ripped piece of a map, but the location of the ruin is indicated here. It is not much to go on, but let's do our best to pin point its whereabouts. And…where do you say we start gathering information about the guardian lords Halle mentioned? My professor and I always used to gather various data, even when there seemed to be no relation. Looking for a shortcut can lead you astray. I suggest we visit as many locales as we can, before we reach our destination." Clive finished saying. We then got the map shred from Clive and made are way out of gallows house.
And with that the search for the lost ones or guardian lords had finally began. The only question was now where to start searching for the four statues.
