Hi, Everyone! Welcome to chapter eight! I can't believe how fast this story is moving. I have less than five chapters to go!
Enjoy the fanfic!
Seles slowly woke up. She wasn't where she was when fell asleep. How confusing.
After feeling her surroundings, she realized she was in pile of hay. She crawled out of it.
She was on a dragon bus. Then, looking around, she spotted a woman. Upon closer investigation, Seles knew that she was the dancing maiden from Asgard, Raine.
"Uh... Hello?"
Raine turned to her. "Greetings. You're with Mithos Yggdrasil, aren't you?"
"Yep. You knew about that?"
"Hard not to. You fell asleep holding hands."
Seles tried to ignore the redness on her face. "No, I meant you knew about Mithos and Cruxis and such."
"Yes, I knew about that as well. How odd it is for him to be sleeping."
"Yeah, he said that angels never slept or something."
Raine looked her in the eye. "Mithos isn't keeping secrets from you. How interesting..."
Seles ran her fingers through her hair... and found that something was off. "Where's my hat?"
There was suddenly a lot of squirming. Mithos can out of the pile. "Here's your hat, Seles!"
"Thanks, Mithos."
"And what might you be doing here, Mithos?" said Raine, glaring at him.
He looked, and fell into to the hay. "Raine! I... uh... well..."
"Let's have you start with how you're still alive."
"Sybak found some of my DNA and cloned my body from that."
"You're lying. Genis and I went to Sybak and never saw a trace of you. We freed all half-elves."
"'Cept the one that ran out the door just as you got there, right?" Mithos appeared to be enjoying this.
Raine appeared to be getting angrier every second. "That boy was about to be tested on and would have been scared! It is only- Wait, how did you know about that?"
"This is the first time I've seen you act dense." he said.
Then she figured it out. "That boy... was you?"
Mithos nodded.
"Then how did you meet Seles?"
"Let's just say it involved a big ship and a Volt bomb. By the way, where's Genis?"
"He decided to stay behind in Palmacosta. He said something about wanting to avoid ruins or something."
"You mean to avoid you in 'ruin mode'." said Mithos.
SMACK!
"Ow!"
"What do you mean, 'ruin mode'?! Ruins are Fantastic!!" said Raine with hearts in her eyes.
"Is that why you're the only one who's still has no boyfriend?"
WHACK!
"Ow! Darn it, that rod really hurts!!"
Seles just laughed.
Raine looked at him oddly. "First you're falling asleep, now you're feeling things... your human self appears to be returning... MARVELOUS!!!"
"I think I'll go back to sleep." said Mithos.
"I think I'll join you." replied Seles.
"Stop, both of you! I need to take samples! I can't wait to tell Genis!"
Mithos stopped and looked Raine in the eye. "Raine, don't tell Genis, please. I want to tell him on my own."
After a while, Raine said, "Okay. But you will tell him."
"Where are you two going? What is your next stop?"
Seles and Mithos looked at each other. They hadn't thought about that at all.
"Well, I'm getting off at Palmacosta. You two need to decide before we get there."
"Alright, we'll think about it."
They quieted. After a few minutes, Seles decided to pop into Raine's book.
"So, what are you reading?"
Raine looked surprised for a second, the got over it.
"Nothing... just a journal..."
Mithos found interest in this and joined them. "Is it your's or someone else's?"
"It just belonged to my mother..."
Seles remembered something and then looked to Mithos for confirming her idea. He nodded.
"Your Mother was Virginia, wasn't it?"
Raine whirled on them. "How did you know about Virginia!?"
"Virginia taught me magic."
"Really?"
"Yep. When Mithos came, he helped out."
"Seriously?"
"Yes."
Raine breathed, and asked, "What is she doing now?"
"...We don't know..."
"What?"
Mithos sighed. "Here we go...""What a unique story."
"No kidding." said Mithos and Seles in unison.
Raine looked at them strangely, then chuckled. "A match made in heaven..."
"You say something, Raine?"
"It's nothing... So, where are you going to get off at?"
"I don't know... Hey, I have an idea!" yelled Seles.
"What?"
"Let's go to Altamira! I always wanted to see it!"
"Hey, that's not a bad idea! Okay!" shouted Mithos.
"Not a moment to soon. The dock of Thoda Geyser is coming up. From there, you'll be able to take the ferry to Altamira." said Raine.
"Okay!"
Alright! Done with that chapter! Please Review!
