/FILE OPEN...LITTLE BRINGS BIG PROBLEMS/
LAMBDA-LITTLE SORROWING HEART
As we arrived, I checked out the area and the map. It's everything Reina said it would be. How I should ever doubt the voice of someone who's close to me I'll never know
"So, Reina, what're we here for?"
"We're here for the treasure that is located on the eighth floor of this areas dungeon." she informs
"What's the item?" I ask, now interested
"Item? more like items! there are two items in this chest, the first is a 'SOARING EAGLES EDGE' heavyblade weapon and a, 'MOON AND STARS' twin blades, Reaper." she informs sounding a little ticked
"Oh. I'm sorry, Reina. I'm use to chests with one rare item in it." I apologize, rubbing the back of my head
"It's okay." she spoke, happily and understandingly
"Well, we're just wasting time standing here so lets get the treasure."
"Right. Lets go!" she sprints off toward the first altar
"Geez, just like her big sister." I say, chasing after her
"Look!!" she remarks
"Three--what are those,"
I look at the monsters, all three were tall, chubby, were red in color with black armor on. Wielded longswords, and looked pretty tough
"Those, Reina, are what I call, NINJA KNIGHTS." I spoke, charging one of them
"Nin-Thundra!!" I slash the first first one and it falls down. The other two attack
"Reaper, behind you!" Reina shouts
"Huh?!" I turn around to see one of the NK's falling from the air. I bring up my blades in an 'X' shape and block the attack
"Reina!" I scream looking behind me, seeing two new monsters attacking her
"Help!!" she cries, barely blocking the monsters' attacks
"Reina!!" I call again, this time breaking the lock and striking down the second and third NK's
"Ahhh!" she yelps, taking a hard blow from this beast's giant axe
"REINA!!" I call, running to her
The monsters turn and face me; these two, giant-sized creatures which looked like lizards, had heavy, green armor on, and held two giant axes in hand(one in each hand) had long, slithering tails and were hunch-backs
'What are these creatures?' I question attacking the closest one only to be denied and flung into the air
'Damn' I yell
'They're stronger then twenty-eights' I spoke before feeling two blades enter my stomach and then forcfully exit; knocking me back to the ground. As I hit the ground, the impact force caused me to bounce back into the air maybe five inches but that was enough for both creatures to consecutively get in three shots before I hit the ground once more and stay there; paralyzed. The creatures believe I am dead so they turn back and focus on Reina.
"Reaper?" she stutters, looking at my 'lifeless' body
"No," she then sees the monsters strutting toward her
"Reina..." I weakly speak
"...run..."
"I...I can't," she stutters, cowering
"I'm too scared!!"
"You...have too!!"
the monsters, now growing closer to her, lift up one arm and prepare to hack her till she died
"RUN!!" I bark hoarsely
She begins to run only to be stopped by two figures cloaked in black
"Who are you?" she asks, looking at two blade brandiers with scarred faces, medium armor which was orange
"We're here to save you." the taller one spoke,
"Get them." he orders before both figures attacked the creatures and they fall instantly
I, now, was back on foot walking toward Reina when this figure with a long, spike-looking blade stops me
"What's this?!" I remark in awe
"Your turn, Hiriga."
"Fine. I'll take the little one and you can have him, Miga." he answers
"Reina?" I cry, watching Hiriga walk toward her
"Reina run! get out of here, quick! GO!!" I command, yelling vigorously
"Too late, man, too late." Miga informs
"Good-bye, Reina." Hiriga spoke, lifting up his sword high into the air
"REINA!!" I yell
Suddenly, before Hiriga could bring his blade down onto Reina to PK her, everything around her, me, and the two PKers went blue with pentagons and seeing as though we were standing on air, the PKers look at each before crying,
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!! a trick?!"
"I WON'T ALLOW YOU TO TAKE HER AWAY," I angrily voice
"INCUBIS!!"
"WTF?!!" were the last words these PKers spoke before falling to the ground and disappearing. After that, the field shows itself once more and I stand there, gripping my side looking at Reina with a smile; she just stands there; amazed at what just happened.
"An IK?" she spoke
"That's possible in this?"
"Yeah." I answer; lying
"Lets get the treasure."
We walk to the remaining altars, gather the symbols, and enter the temple and to the beast statue; acquiring the treasures it held
"Here Reaper." Reina speaks, handing me the 'MOON AND STARS' twin blade set
"You can keep them, Reina." I reject
"Come on, take it." she presses, smiling up at me
"No no, I can't, Reina. I don't deserve this, you do. Afterall, you invited me to come here with you. It is only fair that you, the leader, get the treasure. I got my reward already, experience." I speil
"Just take it, Reaper, please!" she implored; practically shoving the blades up in my face
"Okay. If it'll keep you quiet." I finally give in, accepting the gift
"Lets go home." she smiles
"Yeah...home." I answer, smiling and feeling a growing sadness in my stomach
So, we return to Luminus Cloth and I am still amazed she hasn't confronted me about what happened with the PKers. It hurt me just to think,
'Does she know about the avatars? Is she an Epitaph user, too? or...'
"BYE!"
"Huh?! oh, you logging off for the night, Reina?"
"Yeah. My siter said I had to so I will. Plus, it's almost ten p.m. and my bedtime is now. Later, Reaper!" she waves good-bye, and smiles that same care-free smile then, in a light of gold, she disappears
"Home...right."
"hih-hah... guess I'll log out till morning."
