I liked running around in a Republican Aketon. It was a nice looking piece of equipment. It was a flexible type of cloth and it was light weight so I could run a bit faster in it. I couldn't however out run a speeding chocobo…
I had been enjoying my spare time. I wasn't training. I wasn't cleaning. I was just killing time.
Konschtat Highlands was a nice little place with a lot of wild sheep. I liked coming here for the pelts. A few wind crystals and a few sheepskins and I'd have myself a nice little bit of sheep's wool to sell to someone.
I also used this time to work on my lesser used skills. I was a fighter mage. I used some pretty powerful spells but I had my blade with me at all times. I was semi-descent with a staff or a club but a dagger being my second choice of weapons.
I liked using a staff on these things though. Blades tended to leave blood stains and a bit of fire would always sever the hide from the meat if used right.
I was doing just that when a certain elvann rode by me on his blue chocobo.
Smack! Right upside the back of the head.
"Damn you Darkwind…"
I stood and started to cast one of my favorite spells.
Gravity.
He and his bird slowed down to the point that I could out run them. I started to cast one more spell.
Fire.
Second of silence and…
"OW! KIAYASHI!!"
I quickly cast Bind on him and started running.
I grabbed my bag of skins and wool as I past and my staff.
I was out of there.
That is, until I felt a certain Dragoon land on my shoulders, and in turn put me on the ground with him on my back.
Crap.
I forgot.
Dragoons can High Jump…
Bind don't keep them from jumping…
Uh-oh…
Lesson learned. I can't run every time. Don't mean I can't try though~.
