Chapter IX - Contact

Hellooo Everyone~! I'm Camille. 16 years old. I'm a student of Kanavan Academy Class 3-B.

(Camille POV)

I could see the continent in view. It was beautiful. It's probably the most preserved continent next to Xenia. Nobody, not a single person was permitted in Xenia.

When Marie and Sei came back, we asked what was wrong. The two just shrugged it off. I didn't really think much of it. I know Marie is a strong girl.

Like what was planned yesterday, the classes split up into groups. Athrun and I proceeded to Celina's group in Class A.

Celina was our group leader. She was to report to the teachers if something was to happen.

The first day was fun. It was like a forest-- well yeah, technically it was. But you get the idea. Hehe~ Bermesiah didn't have this kind of landscapes anymore.

We went deep into the forest, taking in marvelous sights all around us. Sei was leading us since he said he'd been here before. We stopped by a river and rested.

Raz fell into the river when Aron surprised him. Everyone laughed at the sight. Raz, who was annoyed, splashed water at Aron-- much to the guy's dismay. We laughed more at the childish display.

Sei invited Lyra and Lycan to a deeper exploration through the forest-- much to the delight of the two.

We prepared dinner for the group, just a simple meal. Sei, Lyra and Lycan arrived just as we finished cooking.

After dinner, Sei taught us survival techniques, tips and tricks. What didn't this guy know?

The day ended with that. We set up camp near the Silver Knight Ruins. The boys and girls tents were separate ok? Don't get any ideas there. Hehe.

The second day was different. Celina decided we go by pairs and explore the ruins. I got Sei as my partner. You already know who's paired with the others.

Anyways, I suggested we go to some place high where we could see the whole ruins. Sei thought for a while then agreed. He led me to a waterfall.

I marveled at the sight. The ruins were old, yes, but they were still intact remnants of the buildings and stuff.

"Like it?" Sei asked.

"Yes." I turned around to face him. "This is wonderful."

I saw Sei smile and I smiled back.

I felt weird.... Some kind of force was pushing me back. My eyes widened when I felt myself fall off the waterfall. I heard Sei shout my name. No... NO!!!! I don't want to die!!!!

Sei grabbed my hand. It felt like electricity surging into my body. Memories came in my mind... things I didn't know about were rapidly coursing its way to me.

Sei pulled me back to the land.

"Camille!!! Are you alright!?!?" Sei shook me.

I felt myself crying. "Se... Seighart...."

I stared at him, tears continuing to flow down my face. I saw his shocked face. Tears started to form in his eyes and he embraced me. I leaned my head on his chest, crying as he whispered my name. "Amy...."
