Chapter Four_Moving Onward

The next morning, when Scarlett announced her decision to accompany the Chosen's group to the Fire Seal, it was met with both enthusiastic joy and slight skepticism from both Raine and Kratos, since he had to play his part well. In the end, Colette got the ultimate choice and naturally decided to let her come with them. However, not too far into their journey through the desert...

"Ugh! It is so hot...!"

"Lloyd, if you say that one more time..."

"Genis, save your mana. Don't waste it on Lloyd's whining."

"It's okay, Lloyd! The sooner we make it to the seal, the sooner we can leave this place behind and go to the next seal!"

Already, Scarlett could tell they were quite the interesting group of people.

Lloyd, despite his unwavering resolve and determination, was still maturing much for his age and appeared to obviously not like extreme conditions; Genis was the exact opposite, for he was much more mature than others his age and beyond...like Lloyd; Colette was a very gentle girl that could be described as a happy-go-lucky optimist and though she was as hot as the rest of them were, she didn't let it slow her down; Raine was both the babysitter and the big sister to the younger members of the group and scolded them often with either anger or indifference; Kratos seemed to just hang back and let Raine maintain the teenagers, not wanting to get wrapped up in their petty disputes.

While Scarlett herself was only twenty-one, she still wasn't sure on how to interact with the others. She laughed at their jokes and even on occasion, what they argued about, but all in all, she didn't engage in much conversation. Perhaps it was because one thing was on the back of her mind at all times: when was she going to pass out and experience a vision? It seemed like when she kept moving, she didn't have as much trouble, but when she let her body relax, it would take over. With a dry tone, she thought to herself, Guess I'll have to experiment with it and see what happens...

The only ones that knew that Scarlett experienced these visions were Kratos, Yuan, Celeste, and Priya. When Sheldon and Faye had been alive, they had known about it as well. After Yuan had spoken to Scarlett again when she had mentioned the lovely lady with green hair, he told her to never tell Lord Yggdrasill about the things she was now seeing. Sensing that it was an important secret, Scarlett agreed to keep it.

When they stopped for a break and to drink from their canteens, Lloyd asked to see Scarlett's Key Crest. Every break they took, he stopped to take a look at it and carve a few of the crests into it at a time. Though Scarlett insisted she could wait until they had finished with the Fire Seal, Lloyd assured her it was okay.

They only rested for a short ten minutes before Raine suggested they move on. "The sooner we get there, the sooner we can get out of the sun. It shouldn't be much farther."

They had been travelling for about four hours when the ruins finally came into view in the distance and grew larger quickly, the morning shifting into early afternoon. Genis squinted his eyes to see through the heat waves. "Is that where the seal is?"

"Yes, Genis. You see, this area where the Fire Seal is located is in the ruins of an ancient city that was destroyed by the Summon Spirit Efreet's hellfire." Raine's eyes seemed to begin to twinkle, despite the fact that she was profusely wiping sweat from her brow.

The younger magic user turned his attention to Scarlett with a curious look. "Scarlett, how are you not sweating like crazy?"

Scarlett jumped slightly at his question. "Wh-what? I'm sweating just like the rest of you."

"Hardly." He scoffed. "You barely seem hot!"

She couldn't think of an excuse off the top of her head. She knew exactly why the intense, dry heat of the desert wasn't bothering her, but she couldn't tell them that. "I... I don't know. I'm really hot too. Maybe I'm just dehydrated?"

"But sweating is the body's natural way to cool your internals down." Raine raised an eyebrow, now catching on to what her brother was saying.

"I-..."

"Hey, guys, we have company!" Lloyd called from up ahead, unsheathing his twin swords.

The conversation came to a halt, much to Scarlett's relief, and they ran forward to aid in the battle. It was a band of thieves, armed with daggers and beaten down swords. Allowing no time for thought, Scarlett ran to the front with Lloyd and Kratos, Colette attacking from behind them, and Genis and Raine providing support with their magic. In no time at all, the five thieves lay dead, their blood staining the sand. As if to make a point, Scarlett raised her arm and wiped her face with it before glancing around to make sure everyone was okay.

Colette put her chakrams away and pointed, "Look! Here we are!"

As they entered the premises of the ruins, Lloyd hung his head and shoulders. "Ah, so hot... Man, I'm beat..."

"It's probably because of how much energy you spent being so energetic in the beginning," Scarlett pointed out with a chuckle.

"I am sick of this desert," he moaned as though he hadn't heard her.

Noishe passed by them, sniffing the air. He suddenly pinned his ears back and whined profusely. Lloyd frowned slightly and inquired, "What is it, Noishe?"

"Be on your guard...there are enemies about!" Kratos unsheathed his sword again quickly, everyone else following his example.

Floating towards them were a set of three monsters that began to cast magic. Lloyd, Kratos, and Scarlett each ran at once. Kratos and Scarlett put enough force behind their attacks that it broke the monsters' concentration, but Lloyd's blow didn't do enough. The monster cast its magic, sending Fireball right at Colette.

"Watch out!" Scarlett cried, running to the path of the magic. "Guardian!" The Fireballs all dissipated when they hit the green shield. She turned to Colette hurriedly. "Are you alright?"

"Yes. Thank you, Scarlett!" Colette had enough time to flash her a quick smile before she pointed behind her. "Watch out!" Spinning in a circle, she threw her chakram to stun one of the monsters that had been making its way to the duo. "Ray Thrust!"

Scarlett jumped at it and sliced right through it with Koikage. All evidence that the monster had been there fell to the ground, motionless. When Genis cast an Aqua Edge once Kratos had pinned his opponent to the ground, that monster too fell. The mercenary went to help Lloyd finish off his enemy.

When it was over, Kratos muttered, "This is going to be a nuisance."

"What is?" Lloyd questioned obliviously.

"Uh...nothing." Kratos cleared his throat. "Anyway, it would be good for you to learn techniques to help guard yourself in battles with magic."

"You mean like self-defense training?" Colette voiced, allowing Raine to inspect and make sure she hadn't been harmed.

"Yes, something like that. I'll teach you the basics. After that, the rest should be easy." Kratos paused for a moment, thinking about how to explain it to them.

"Scarlett, I'm impressed you knew such a technique," Raine said to her.

The redhead gave a shrug of her shoulders. "Well, I learned it fairly easily... It's the most basic technique for defense..."

Raine flushed lightly in her cheeks as she turned her attention back to Kratos.

"Think of the mana around you turning into a solid object. You "reach" out for it, and when you do that, it will momentarily form an impenetrable shield around you."

Lloyd pondered on his words for a moment and gave it a shot. The shield appeared, but flickered away within two seconds. "Okay... I don't really get it, but I got it. Thanks, Kratos!"

"Yeah, we can practice it and get it down pretty quick!" Colette added, clapping her hands with excitement.

Raine looked around, as if just realizing something. "Hmm...what happened to Noishe?"

Lloyd brought a hand to his face. "Ah, you're right. Man, he's run off again."

"He's probably nervous about the monsters. I think it would be best not to count on Noishe in places with monsters around." Kratos crossed his arms. "For now, let's go and work on the seal."

Scarlett hung about in the back while they climbed the stairs to where a door in the ground was covered by a stone. While the others looked around curiously, Raine cried, "Fantastic!" This made all heads turn towards the silver-haired professor as she practically skipped to the door. "Look at this slab covering the entrance! It's clearly a different type than the surrounding stone!" She leaned over, her eyes analyzing it swiftly. "Haha, it's just as I thought!" She fell to her knees and began stroking the stone. "This is polycarbonate, developed during the ancient war to defend against magic! Oh, feel the smooth surface! It's wondrous!"

Kratos found his voice first. "...Is she always like this?"

Genis laughed weakly as Raine moved onto other things, admiring the structure of the ruins. When she practically pushed Lloyd out of the way to examine something, he turned towards his best friend. "...Is she?"

Groaning, Genis mumbled, "Ooh... I've been trying so hard to hide it, too..."

"Hmm...this depression... It reads "Oracle Stone"..." Raine gestured for Colette to approach. "Colette, place your hand here. That should reveal the entrance."

"Really?" Lloyd's tone indicated he was already growing more excited.

"This stone had been enchanted with magic to identify the Chosen. There's no question about it."

Colette slowly set her hand upon the Oracle Stone, to which it responded. The polycarbonate door slid open, revealing that there were stairs leading down into the ruins. Colette's eyes widened slightly. "Wow, it opened! I guess I really am the Chosen!"

"Yes, I think we all know that already," Genis drawled slightly.

"Okay, now it's getting exciting! Let's go!" Lloyd pumped a fist, looking around for confirmation.

"I hope you'll be able to maintain that enthusiasm..." Kratos turned to look at Scarlett. "What will you do?"

"I'll stay out here and guard the entrance," she replied. "If more desert people pass by an see that there's now an entrance, they'd want to go investigate to see if there's treasure."

"Are you sure? Your skills would be very much useful," Raine said.

"Yes. I won't let anyone bother you." Scarlett gave her an assuring smile.

"...Very well, then."

"We'll be back soon!" Lloyd called as he led the group down the stairs.

"Be careful." Scarlett settled in for a long afternoon. She sat out in the open, not at all disturbed by the hot midday sun. Koikage lay beside her where she could reach it if needed. Monsters passed by the ruins, but none bothered her. Surprisingly, after an hour and a half or so, Noishe came back to see where Lloyd had gone, but once he smelled that he had gone underground, the creature seemed satisfied to remain with Scarlett outside. She pet him to help keep him calm when monsters passed by them. If any of them started to wander too close to the point where she could feel Noishe tense in preparation for running, Scarlett would close her eyes in concentration and incinerate them with a Flame Lance.

As the afternoon dragged on, it brought with it a very unexpected visitor. Scarlett had been zoning out, feeling very relaxed when she pet Noishe. She was so out of it that it startled her when Noishe yipped and jumped up. His action was quickly followed by a familiar voice grumbling, "Get down, you mutt...!"

"Yuan?" Scarlett stood up to clarify that it indeed was the blue-haired half-elf getting slobbered over by Noishe. When she knew for sure it was him, she stomped over and demanded, "Where did you go yesterday?"

"That's what I came to talk to you about." Yuan pushed Noishe away and gave Scarlett a serious look. "Let's go sit down."

Obeying with curiosity, Scarlett walked back over to where she had been sitting, Yuan taking a spot next to her. She looked over at him with puzzlement, waiting for him to begin. He took a moment to inhale deeply. "Alright... Listen to me. I've been thinking a lot since yesterday, and I've come to a conclusion about something."

"And that is...?"

"I'm going to let you in on something, but it's a secret from Yggdrasill."

Scarlett's brows furrowed with worry. She knew that many small internal strife occurrences happened on occasion without Lord Yggdrasill finding out about them. However, she never thought that Yuan would be a part of one. Still, she remained quiet and let him proceed.

"I am...the leader of the Renegades."

This made her blank out for a moment as she processed what he had just said. "You're...what?! But-how?! Why?!"

"Be quiet and I'll tell you," he hissed. He paused, seemingly listening to something. "I don't have too much time. They're fighting the guardian now. Okay...you remember when you had your first vision?"

"Yes..."

"Do you know who she was?"

"No..."

"That was Martel." When she looked like she was about to say something else, he threw her a withering look that told her to remain silent. "You know that she is Yggdrasill's sister, correct? Over the centuries, his methods have become more and more twisted. His mind has lost all reasoning. Of course, I would want, maybe even more than him, for Martel to come back, but...she wouldn't be happy. He has sacrificed so many lives for hers that if she came back through the vessel of the Chosen, there's no way she would be happy. I've tried talking to him and reasoning with him, but words are beyond him anymore.

"That's why I formed the Renegades. I needed to remain inside Cruxis for information and to keep tabs on his movements. Yet, outside of Cruxis, I wanted to be able to oppose him and prevent his plans from ever succeeding. Do you understand that?"

"Y-yes, but..." Scarlett turned her eyes downward, still trying to sort out this flood of information. "He is still your friend, isn't he? You still betrayed him."

"No. My friend Mithos is long dead, and Yggdrasill killed him."

"But...why tell me all this?"

"I want you to help me, Scarlett. I haven't been able to get in contact with Celeste yet, but Priya has agreed to help me. We are currently working on a plan to make her appear to go missing in action. Yggdrasill won't look for her - he will assume her dead. She might be a fellow half-elf, but she is still just a pawn in his game." Yuan turned his head to face her. "What do you say?"

Scarlett tilted her head up to meet his gaze, but he could see in her eyes that she was conflicted. "It's...not that easy for me. I mean, Yggdrasill allowed me to live, so it's like I'm indebted to him."

"We just had this conversation on Derris-Kharlan. Scarlett, I don't believe that you're truly happy living there and doing this kind of thing." With another pause, he said, "I'm out of time. They're coming. Look, I know Yggdrasill told you not to stick with the Chosen for the whole journey. Take some time, think things over. If you decide you want to help me, come to the Triet Base when you leave them." At her face, he inquired sarcastically, "Are you going to go tattle to Yggdrasill?"

"...No... I owe my life more to you and Kratos than Lord Yggdrasill." Scarlett gave him a weak smile.

Yuan cracked a grin of his own and, sufficed with her answer, transported himself away. Not even ten seconds later, the group emerged wearily from underground. Lloyd called, "Scarlett! We're back. Everything okay here?"

Scarlett quickly plastered a smile of relief on her face. "Hey, guys! Yeah, everything's good out here. Is everyone okay?"

"More or less," Kratos muttered.

"Scarlett, Colette got wings!" Genis announced with a level beyond excitement.

"Whoa, what?! Really?"

Colette giggled and unfurled her wings. Scarlett felt as though her pink and purple wings matched her personality perfectly. She widened her eyes and breathed, "Wow...! That's amazing, Colette! They're beautiful."

"Hehe, thanks!"

"Well, then, shall we be on our way?" Raine gestured for them all to move on away from the entrance.

"Already?" Scarlett blinked with confusion. "Aren't you tired?"

"I would much prefer to go back to Triet before it gets completely dark." As she pointed out, the sun had begun to sink in the sky. "It'll be safer to spend the night where we don't need to have guard duties."

"Yes, I suppose you're right."

They didn't make it farther than the stairs when Colette collapsed to the ground. Lloyd ran to her side. "Colette! Are you okay?!"

"I'm...fine," she replied very unconvincingly.

"You are certainly not alright!" Genis cried. "It's all my fault. It's because I kept making her pull her wings in and out..."

"I don't think that has anything to do with it..."

Raine ran forward. "Now's not the time for that! Her lips are turning purple... We must get her to a doctor in the city immediately!"

"Wait," Kratos intervened coolly. "It's best not to move her. Remember the angel's words. The angel transformation process requires her to overcome a trial. Rather than taking her to a doctor, it would be better to let her rest here."

"I'm sorry to cause so much trouble," Colette said as Lloyd helped her cautiously to her feet.

"You've got nothing to apologize for, you dork. You were suddenly changed into an angel!" Lloyd gave her a reassuring grin.

"Oh, you're right. I'm sorry."

Lloyd sighed in response as the others began to pick out a suitable spot to set up camp.

XxXxXxX

The fire burned brightly as the group sat around it, eating food that Genis had made for them. Scarlett was lost in her own thoughts as Lloyd moved about the camp, talking with the others and making decisions on things. All of the information that Yuan had given her earlier still had her mind spinning in several different directions. Part of her wanted to help Yuan, especially since his words made sense. While Lord Yggdrasill had allowed her to live, he had also caused her more than enough pain to counteract that. Still, she knew that if she betrayed him and he found out, he wouldn't think twice about killing her…

"Hey, Scarlett?"

She snapped from her thoughts and looked up at Lloyd, who was standing before her. "Oh, sorry, Lloyd. What is it?"

"Do you mind if I sit with you?"

"No, go ahead." With a grin, she added, "Plenty of sand here to go around."

With an agreeing scoff, he muttered, "Tell me about it." As he sat down beside her, he held out his hand to her. "If you want, I can go ahead and finish your Key Crest now."

"That would be great. Thanks." Scarlett cautiously took it off, along with her Cruxis Crystal, and handed the crest to Lloyd.

She let him work in peace and quiet as he carved out the remaining charms for the crest. It wasn't long before he was finishing up and he asked, "Is…something wrong?"

"Hmm? Oh, no. I just have a lot on my mind right now."

"Like what?"

"Where I should, what I should do… Things like that."

"You could come with us," he pointed out.

"…No. It's tempting, but I really need to do my own thing for now. I'm sure my friend is worried by now since I haven't shown up." With some more thoughts, she said, "We'll probably split ways around Triet or a little ways after."

"I see…" Lloyd's eyes suddenly widened with remembrance. "Oh, yeah! The angel that we met in the ruins told us that the next seal is across the sea, so we'll be heading out to the Ossa Trail tomorrow after we pick up some more supplies."

"I see…" Scarlett rubbed the back of her neck. "Well, I'll figure out something by tomorrow."

"Alright." Lloyd gave one last look at the Key Crest before nodding and handing it back. "There. That should do it."

"Thanks, Lloyd!" Scarlett took it and set it back into her hand. With a sharp intake of breath, she felt warmth – real warmth! – rush throughout her body. She felt the cold desert air kissing her exposed skin. She felt a light rumble in her stomach of hunger even though she had just forced down some food so as not to look suspicious.

Lloyd tensed and a hand crept towards one of his swords. "Scarlett? You okay?"

"Y-…yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry… I guess I just hadn't realized how…worn down my Key Crest had been. I feel much better now. Thank you so much."

Lloyd relaxed and sighed with relief. He chuckled and rubbed the back of his head with abashment. "Oh, well, it was nothing big. What are friends for, huh?"

This caught Scarlett off guard. "We're…friends?"

"Of course! You helped me out, you helped Colette, and you had our backs while we released the seal!"

Scarlett felt her face heat up slightly as she averted her eyes. This brought a smile to her face. "Thanks, Lloyd…"

He chuckled again as he stood to go and talk to Colette. Scarlett was so overwhelmed at the return of her senses that she didn't understand why Genis had suddenly sang something about Lloyd getting rejected. She still laughed when Lloyd cursed and chased his best friend around the fire before she saw that Colette was standing out by a small lake they had found not too far away from the ruins. When Raine called her back to the campsite, she also instructed the younger members of the party to get some rest. Scarlett also felt slightly fatigued, her body demanding rest for the first time in years. Kratos had volunteered to be the night watch, so under his watchful eye, Scarlett allowed hers to slide shut, luring her into sleep.

XxXxXxX Vision XxXxXxX

"Faye, are you sure this is a good idea…?" Scarlett whimpered. "Lord Yggdrasill will be mad if we're not there for training on time…"

"It's okay!" her friend assured her with a warm smile. "Besides, you're turning thirteen today! I need to give you my present!"

Scarlett said nothing as she followed Faye into her room, where upon her bed sat a small box, laced closed with ribbon. "Open it!"

Beside herself, Scarlett smiled broadly as she tore into unwrapping the present and pulling the ribbon off. When she opened the box, her eyes widened slightly with joy. "Wow…! It's so pretty!" She pulled forth a charm that was in the shape of a long and graceful bird with flowing, long tail feathers. The creature had the most brilliant red feathers she had ever seen.

"It's a phoenix," Faye explained. "Kratos told me about them. He said there are two phoenixes left, like how there is one unicorn. When a phoenix gets old or injured, it catches fire and turns to ash. Then, before its ashes have time to cool off, a new baby phoenix is born! Isn't that cool?!"

"It is!" Scarlett lunged forward and hugged her best friend. "I love it! I'll treasure it forever! I'm going to put it in my room for luck!"

"Gre-!"

"This is where you were."

The girls froze to the spot, violent chills going down their spines. It took all they could muster to turn their heads and face Lord Yggdrasill, who was behind them, his eyes narrowed dangerously at them. At the same time, they both fell to their knees, sputtering apologies as quickly as they could.

"It's my fault!" Faye cried. "I wanted to give Scarlett her birthday present! I'm so sorry, Lord Yggdrasill! Don't punish her!"

"A birthday present?" Lord Yggdrasill echoed with curiosity. "Why would you do that? After all, after today, you're all going to have so many more birthdays. So many that a present every year will no longer be worth it."

Not understanding the true meaning behind his words, Faye stuttered, "I-I'm sorry! I just wanted-!"

"What, you thought you could just do as you pleased?! Who do you think owns you?!" He bellowed.

"No, please, I'm sorry, Lord Yggdrasill!"

"Oh, no, you're not…not yet…" Lord Yggdrasill lashed his hand out and grabbed Faye's lovely black hair and pulled her to her feet. Over her screams of pain, he added, "Oh, Scarlett, dear? Come here… I think you'll want to watch this."

"Faye!"

"Scarlett-!"

And so, Lord Yggdrasill pulled Faye by her hair down the halls of Derris-Kharlan, Scarlett following closely, practically running to keep up with him, and crying out her friend's name. Faye's tears rolled relentlessly down her cheeks as her hands clawed at her hair, trying to relieve the pain from her head. Lord Yggdrasill kicked open the door to the large, circular room where he trained the children. Yuan and Kratos were present inside, already speaking with Celeste and Sheldon. When they saw what was going down, anger flashed in Kratos' eyes. "Yggdrasill! What is going on?!"

"Just teaching them a lesson," he replied casually. He threw Faye into the center of the room where she lay still, crying, her head throbbing in intense pain. Before Scarlett had a chance to run to her, Lord Yggdrasill snapped, "Stay back."

Forced to remain there, Scarlett could only watch as Lord Yggdrasill walked to the small girl, his gaze never wavering. Kratos and Yuan could only remain still as well, knowing if they intervened, he would only harm the children more. He picked Faye up by her hair again to pull her to her knees, pulling forth her screams of agony again. Still, she didn't dare struggle. He moved the collar of her shirt away to reveal a Cruxis Crystal that was attached directly to the base of her neck. As his hand reached for it, Yuan called, "Yggdrasill, don't-!"

But he did. He pulled the crystal from the girl's body, and within seconds, a grotesque monster stood where she had been. Kratos trembled with rage as Scarlett fell to her knees, screaming, "No! What did you do to her?! Faye!"

As the monster sat there, seeming confused, Lord Yggdrasill turned and gave her a twisted smirk. "I'm showing you what happens when you disobey me." He held out a hand to what had once been Faye, drew a quick symbol, and a sword of light fell from the air and through the monster's body. As it made a sickening roar of pain, blood pouring from the wound, Celeste and Sheldon joined Scarlett in her screams of horror. The sword faded, and by time the monster's body hit the floor, it was Faye again, and she was dead. Lord Yggdrasill turned and tossed the Cruxis Crystal to Scarlett. "You see? All you inferior beings are…just monsters."

Scarlett's wide eyes shifted slowly, shakily, from Faye's still body, to the Cruxis Crystal sitting on the floor in front of her. "When a phoenix gets old or injured, it catches fire and turns to ash. Then, before its ashes have time to cool off, a new baby phoenix is born!"

"Hmm? Nothing to say, then?" Lord Yggdrasill drew another swift symbol with his hand. "Very well."

"Yggdrasill, stop this!" Kratos roared at him, his knuckles white on his sword hilt.

Scarlett took hold of Faye's Cruxis Crystal just as Explosion rained down upon her. Both Celeste and Sheldon fell to their hands and knees, tears running down their cheeks, sickening pits in their stomachs. However, Explosion faded quickly, blocked out by a blinding light. Lord Yggdrasill looked towards it with narrowed eyes. "What?!"

Scarlett still sat where she was, the Cruxis Crystal now attached to the back of her left hand. The light was emitting from her body as the flames of the attacks flew into her body. When every last spark was absorbed, from her back sprung forth red wings, the feathers flaming as though they were on fire. Scarlett fell to the floor, unconscious from the use of energy.

Scarlett looked around her, but all she could see was darkness. "…Am I dead, too…?" she pondered aloud, her voice hoarse.

"Scarlett…," a voice breathed softly. It was not Faye's voice…it was a male voice, and it sounded tender and warm. "Det siste er et mysterium som holder ledetracder for a bygge en bedre fremtid."

She didn't know why, but Scarlett knew that he was speaking the ancient language of the elves. When she opened her mouth, she didn't know what words she was speaking. "Spor keg ydmykt for en tast."

Sounding concerned, the male said, "Denne tasten inneholder strom av liv of dod. Trenger du en ofre."

She narrowed her eyes with determination. "Jeg trenger strom for a beskytte de Jeg elsker…"

There was a pause before the voice replied, "Som du onsker. Herrens oine er ditt."

XxXxXxX

Ah, Yggy, you are just a cruel man. A cruel, cruel man. Oh, and the conversation that Scarlett has with the mysterious voice (in her head?) in the end is actually in Norse, but I felt like using it for the ancient language of the elves, since Kosuke Fujishima is awesome and bases everything off of Norse mythology. Norway is where my people are! ...Literally.

So, I will give you a translation...soon. I may include it into the story.

Oooh, is Scarlett going to go join with Yuan now that she knows he is the Renegade leader?! Whether or not if she does, our adventure with Yuan and his Renegade begins next chapter! Look forward to it, because it was the most fun I've ever had writing something. x)

Time for a review party!
