Part two. All I got was one vote from coatedPluton, and that was a half and half vote, for Bestie and Rize. So I drew names and Bestie won. So anyway, continuing the story...
Crayle's P.O.V
I stared into the light. Out came a woman with long blonde hair and a...Tommy Gun?! She had a tight suit on with a skirt, and medals lined the suit. She had a red hat, and a large black cape. She also had fire around her feet, and grinned at me. "So," she said. "I'm ready for betrayal, but even so, I want to trust you." I grinned, that was very sudden. I guess I'm already a betrayer, eh? I shook her hand. "Welcome," I said. "I'm Crayle, and this is my friend Lunaris." Lunaris nodded her head. The woman smiled. "I'm Bestie. Let's see your battle plans." I looked up. My battle plans? "I, uh...I have no battle plans." I said to her. Bestie thought about that. "Hmm...so you charge into battle anyway? I admire your bravery." I smiled. "Thanks. Well, um, you could have this tent here Bestie." She nodded. "How very generous of you." I blushed and cleared my throat. "Well, I gotta go get some more water. How 'bout you guys get to know each other?" I left.
Lunaris's P.O.V
Crayle left for water, muttering something under his breath as he left. I smiled at Bestie and we shook hands. "Hello, I'm Lunaris." Bestie nodded. She glanced at my lance. "Ah, I see you still stick to the basic weapons. No wonder you and Crayle are close." I blushed furiously. "What! We're not close! I mean, he's my friend and I like him, but we're not, like...together or anything." I screeched. Bestie smirked and nodded. "Ooookay. Right." She said sarcastically. I growled at her. "Oh, just leave me alone." Bestie shook her head and left, exploring the camp. Crayle came back than. He grinned at me. "You guys good?" He asked. Something told me he knew we were mad at each other. I snorted. "Yes, for now." Crayle smiled. "Great. Listen, I gotta go buy some things for dinner. Be good." He said, winking at me. Than he drew closer. "Keep an eye on her for me, Kay?" He said, eyeing Bestie. I nodded. "Of course, Crayle." Crayle nodded. "See ya later!" I waved. He left. Bestie returned a little while later, thinking things over. She looked at me. "This Crayle, where is he from?" I smiled, knowing she wasn't gonna get the answer, like I didn't at first either. "He's from Ireland." I said. Bestie nodded, though she looked like she had no idea what Ireland was. I laughed at her face. She looked at me. "What's so funny?" She asked. I grinned. "Oh, nothing." I said, making sure my voice was layered with sarcasm. Bestie sniffed. "Ah, I see. Making a joke at my expense?" She muttered. I grinned. "Maybe, maybe not." I said to her. Bestie growled and entered her tent.
Bestie's P.O.V
That Lunaris! I didn't like the way she made jokes at my expense, but at least I had one bar of leverage. I knew she liked Crayle, whether Crayle knew it or not. I had reason to believe Crayle did not know though, otherwise he would be playing dumb. I went to bed, thinking about how to get Lunaris back for her cruelty. But than I thought that Crayle would definitely not appreciate me harming his unit after I told him I would trust him. But than again, Crayle wasn't here yet. Hehehehehe. Time for some fun. I crept out to see Lunaris sleeping, leaning against the tent. She was waiting for Crayle. How sweet. I tiptoed near her and searched around. What to use, what to use...aha! There! I picked up a bucket and filled it with mud. I don't mind getting muddy, but I wonder if Lunaris does. I carefully coated her in mud, making sure not to wake her. What? You think it's mean? Well, I've heard mud is good for your skin, so be quiet. I left and went to bed.
Lunaris's P.O.V
I woke up, and the sun was shining. I stretched, and layers of dirt fell off of me. What? Where'd the dirt come from? I glanced down, and saw my whole body was covered in dirt. How'd? ...Bestie. She would have done this! I growled and went to the river. I stripped and dipped myself in. Cold. Very cold. I started washing myself when I heard singing. It was Crayle! He was coming toward me! I breathed in and dunked. Very unfortunately, the river was crystal clear. Crayle wadded across, but luckily didn't look down. He was cheerfully singing a tune, swinging the kettle around. "Hey ho! I've returned with breakfast!" I heard him yell. He made it across and left for camp. I quickly finished and got dressed, even though I was still wet. My hair was soaked, and I wrung it out. I came to camp, where Crayle was gone again. Bestie was eating some sort of pudding like food. She grinned at me. "Why didn't you tell me Crayle was such a good cook?" She said. I glared at her. "Oh, I don't know, maybe because your so evil?!" I said scathingly. "And where's Crayle?" I added. Bestie shrugged. "He said something about finding you." I hissed in annoyance. Just than Crayle came back. "I couldn't find Lunaris... Oh, never mind." He grinned at me. "Here, have some Malt-o-Meal." He said. Than he frowned. "Why are you wet?" He asked me. I smiled. "I was merely bathing, do not worry." I said. Crayle nodded. "Well than, here you are." He said, handing me my breakfast. He sat next to me. I blushed and smiled. He noticed, than flushed.
Crayle's P.O.V
It wasn't hard to put together. Lunaris liked me. Uh oh. Wonder what that meant for my other units. Would dating Lunaris seem like favoritism? I didn't know. I decided to go with the flow and see what happened. I grinned after cleanup. "Alright, who's ready for some adventure?" Bestie grinned and Lunaris grabbed her lance. Time to roll. I finished the light place and had enough energy to carry on to the dark place. Right as I finished, I lost all my energy, but than I leveled up. We came to a large white tower. I gulped. Maxwell. Lunaris grabbed my shoulder reassuringly. "It'll be fine. You can do it." She said. I nodded and squeezed her hand. "Let's do this." I said. We climbed the tower. After awhile, we came to Maxwell. I grinned. She wasn't that hard. We all charged and attacked. "Baerum Rampage!" I heard Bestie yell. Lunaris was panting, but gave me the thumbs up sign. My eyes darkened, as did my hair. "HELL DESCENDING!" I yelled. Maxwell stood no chance. I attacked mercilessly, my inner dragon roaring with pleasure. All went black. All I remember is feeling weird, and reveling in Maxwell's defeat.
Bestie's P.O.V
"Do you think he's okay?" I asked Lunaris. Lunaris shrugged. "Hard to tell. It was creepy when he morphed into...that creature." She said. I nodded. "Since when have summoners been able to do that?" I asked. She thought. "I have never seen it before. But it was...unusual. He seemed to revel in Maxwell's defeat. I wonder if that brave burst had anything to do with it." She told me. I gulped. What a dangerous summoner. He woke up. He leapt up, causing Lunaris to fall down. He shook his head, than ran off. I heard the sound of vomiting. "Ugh." I shuddered. Lunaris got up. "I hope he's okay." He came back, grimacing. "Sorry 'bout that. I guess I forgot to mention that I'm half dragon." He said. I shook my head. He grinned. "Must've slipped my mind." Lunaris hugged him. "I'm glad your okay." She said. Then she turned bright red and backed off. Crayle grinned, stroking his chin. Later that night I went to bed.
Lunaris's P.O.V
I couldn't sleep. I went outside, watching the full moon slowly crawl across the sky. It was beautiful. Than I heard a low voice singing. It was Crayle. I listened closer.
Ireland. Ireland. Together, standing tall.
Shoulder, to shoulder. We'll answer, Ireland's call.
Ireland. Ireland. It is, all my all.
Together. Together. We'll answer, Ireland's call.
We'll answer, Ireland's call.
What a beautiful voice. I wiped the tears from my eyes. His melodious tune made me want to sing, and I don't even sing! Crayle watched the moon too. I went near him. "Hey, Lunaris." He said. "Hello. I...I heard you singing." I told him. He smiled. "Did I wake you? I'm sorry." "No, no, I was already awake. I just thought that you have a lovely voice." He blushed. "Oh, well thanks." I sidled up next to him. He paused, than relaxed. I grinned. "Crayle, are you uncomfortable?" He smiled. "Not at all, not at all." He drew his head next to mine. "Lunaris, you make me feel...like I'm home again." He said. I blushed, very pleased. "That's very sweet, Crayle." I said. We kissed. After we broke, he and I watched the moon. I fell asleep against his strong chest. Love.
