Eivexst: Well I know I'm rushing things by uploading parts for the intro in day to day intervals but I'd like to hurry to the main part of the story.
Marche: Maybe you should slow down a bit though.
Shara: I agree it's not good to rush into things.
Eivexst: *sighs* I guess you're right that is why I plan on making these next two chapters nice and long, also you all will finally know what Umbra as well as Nelly and Leona look like as well as finally seeing Shara in the story!
Shara: Eivexst does not own Final fantasy only the OC's he has made.
Leona's POV: "It's ben over a year since you have come to be accepted as a member of the village." I said with adoration as Umbra sat next to me leaning back on the tree we were on.
He was a rather cute boy according to some of the girls, he has shoulder length black hair that he styles into a pony tail (like his mother and father would do for him as he has told me), he came up to be about 4 feet tall but I knew he would grow to be much taller he was pretty lean too but he was stronger then he looked, his silver eyes held a shine that would make you know that he will be there for you, his skin was pale but one could see the signs of time spent in the sun, he almost always wore a turquoise ear ring in the shape of a crescent moon on his left ear along with a pair of fingerless purple gloves made from malboro skins, (he told me his father was a hunter who made those for his 10th birth day) usually he would wear the shirt and jacket usually seen on blue mages but never adorned the hat saying "it's too odd looking."
"Yeah I'm glad that Lulu is okay with me now, she's nice even if she doesn't show it much." He said as he looked up at the clear sky with a smile only Nelly and I could notice and I was glad, it was rare for him to smile.
He started to talk out side of the sylvan language now. "I'm glad I can understand what you and the others say now with little to no effort." I giggled a little at that making him raise an eye brow in confusion. "Did I say something funny?"
"No it's just I never thought you would openly admit to it." he sighed then loosing the smile as his gaze became more cold, he was locking him self in. "I don't know what you mean." he said now with a monotone voice making me sad.
That's when Nelly came up, she was a slightly tom boyish Viera with black hair that came down to her back, her ears came a little shorter then most others of her kind, she had pale skin which was strange do to how much time she spent outside practicing her summoning skills, she wore a red robe that was missing sleeves along with a peridot ring that Umbra had given her during a festival last year she wouldn't admit it but it was the only jewlery she was given that she has ever worn, though she was only 13 while Umbra had turned 12 today, she had brown eyes that held a cold stare to most but held a soft gaze to people she cared for she wore a long baggy pants that she dyed a black color stating "It's what I prefer."
"Hey there Pent, Leona what are you two doing up here?" She said as she looked down from the top of the platform we were on near the top of one of the tallest tree's the wood had given us.
"I thought you could tell Nel, we came up here to enjoy the mid day sun... And I told you not to call me Pent." Umbra said showing a small amount of joy in his voice, he had grown to be very glad when the three of us got together.
"Is that so, well then I hope you don't mind me bringging out Kirin do you?" We both gave her a no for an answer since we didn't mind and she closed her eyes as a shimmer appeared above her and she brought her hands together as if in prayer Umbra stared directly at her and seemed to be studying how she summons.
"Look up." He said simply and I obliged over head was none other then Kirin the spirit of health and reguvination, a few seconds later Nelly opened her eyes and smirked with obvious joy.
Kirin was one of the many spirits that a summoner could call upon, it was a gold wolf like spirit with violet paws and a set of 5 tails, when one appeares a purple aurora would always surround it to aid the people near the summoner when it was called, this one in particular was a dear friend to Nelly, Umbra and I.
"Hey Kirin get your ass down here buddy, the sun shine is fine!" Kirin stared down at her and then shifted to me then to Umbra and floated down with a odd purring sound as it came close and shrank down rapping its self around Umbra's neck and he reached up starting to rub one of its ears knowing it would enjoy that, we all closed our eyes and relaxed as the aurora it had made bathed us in a soothing light.
That was when we heard a scream from down bellow.
Umbra's POV: When I heard the screm I looked down from the platform we were on and gasped, Lulu was being attacked by a yellow flan. "I'm sorry Leona, Nelly, but I'm going to have to jump down now." I said as I drew out the silver rapier I was given a month ago by Leona, it was lighter then people in the village said.
I put my hands together in a quick prayer remembering what happened to mom and dad do to monsters and then jumped trying to keep from being scared. "Hey Jell face!" The flan stared up at me in shock not expecting the sudden shout. "Try a face full of poison claws!" I said as a blue glow surrounded my weapon, I had learned how to use some blue magic but I only knew how to use poison claw and haste breaker.
"Umbra!" I heard Lulu shout in obvious fear for my safty from comming down from the hight I had it was easilly 4 stories, but I didn't care and brought the rapier down onto the flan leaving three green slashes in it as Kirin had grown to stop my fall then placed me down gently, the flan gave me what I assumed was a angry look.
"Go ahead and hate me, but I won't let any one die if I can help it." The thing wiggled then it coughed up a large yellow globe covering me in it, it was a special acid that was in all flans that would cause odd effects on the body or mind in this case I lost my sight for a bit but, do to my training I now knew how to use that same trick since it had magical properties.
I heard more movement and then a large force from a powerful attack before the air grew still, a few seconds after I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Are you okay Umbra?" It was Leona. "Yes I'm fine if you count not being able to see even though my eyes are open to be fine." She giggled a little and called for Nelly a few seconds later I felt the force from a unicorn summons and my vission was back. "Thanks Nelly I'm glad to see the world again, although... Maybe you shouldn't step in that flan puddle."
Nelly sighed and gave Leona a calm stare. "You know you didn't have to use ultima masher like that and now, we have to get a damn mop again." I looked at Leona and knew that if she hadn't things might have been wors, the flan could likely have injured Lulu or me very badly.
Leona, she was a Viera who was 14 (which was a bit shocking with how she owned a home dad told me that you should only really own a home if you are 25 at least), she usually dressed as an assassin with out the odd head rap though she prefered to breath the fresh air but she kept on the rest of the usual out fit even though hers was in a deep red color much like the color of a rose as dad might have put it she had ears that she kept tilted forward slightly as well as a light brown sking color that made some of the others in the village jelous and she had a green eyes which was a common trait in her family.
"Nelly come now do you need to curse so much?" Nelly flinched and looked down with a small frown, I stepped over to her and started to rub one of her ears to chear her up a bit and was shocked to hear her make a small mewing sound. "I didn't know Viera did that." I said with a small blush as she also blushed do to how she was making that noise.
"Uhm... Hate to interupt but, can you three help me get back to the village?" We all nodded realizing that Lulu didn't know how to fight she was the one who ran the library so she was more for knowledge rather then violence.
When we got back I was petting Kirin as Lulu and I were on it's back, I looked forward and felt a ping of worry Shara was at the gate and she was not amused. "Leona, why were the four of you out of the village you know it's dangerous." I said a quick apology and stared at Shara with puppy eyes and she smiled rufling my hair with a mother like smile.
Shara was a tan skined Viera with a very lean body that showed some build do to her experiance with hunting as a sniper, she usually wore a very light amount of red lipstick her emerald colord eyes shined with a care filled glow she wore a green tunic of sorts that flowed hugging her slightly along with a green pair of pants that went to her knees, her silver hair was cut short so that it only reached to the very top of her neck and her ears always stayed bent back she was the symbol of elegance to the people from the village she was about 15 years old it seemed strange how I was friends with three Viera who were only a year apart from each other.
"Okay, I can't stay mad at that face you all are good to go, but next time please don't leave unless you check in with me first okay?" I nodded and hugged her she was taller then me so she had bent down first.
"Hey Shara, does the wood normally talk to humans like me?" I asked as she walked along with us towards the library. "No, usually she only speaks to Viera, so I think it's a good thing, after all, if she accepts you then you are probably blessed by Exodus." She smiled and looked up as the sun sat in the middle of the sky and spoke outside the sylvan language. "I'm glad I can call this place my home Umbra."
[Yeah.] I thought. [I'm glad, I can call this place home too.]
Marche's world.
Marche's POV: It was a chilly night and we had finally gotten comfortable in our new home, Doned's medicine was put into a cup of water as I handed it to him. "Here you should take your medicine so you can get better." He smiled at me and gulped down the water slowly, but made a face when he was done, I guess this medicine is a bit bitter.
"Ther better right?" he nodded as mom called us to the living room. "So boys do you like Ivalice?" I smiled and Doned grinned. "Yeah it's nice here." he said in his happy voice, Doned is my younger brother he had brown hair that hugged his face slightly and had blue eyes, he was only about 11 while I was 13. He was about 4 feet tall while I was 5 he had a couple freckles on his face and had pale skin, we both did.
I have blue eyes and blond hair the top of it is gravity defying with how a bit of it goes into a upward curl I usually wore a scarf around my neck that had a white color along with a blue hoodie and a pair of thick brown jeans.
"Hey mom?" She looked at me with her same smile. "Yes Marche?" I walked over and she picked me up. "Why did we move here?" She grew a slightly sadder look. "It's nothing Marche, I know you and Doned made a lot of friends back where we used to live but, we just couldn't afford to live there any more, here in St. Ivalice, I know you two will grow up to be such good boys."
Both me and Doned nodded as I yawned. "Okay come on you two it's time for bed now, I've already let you stay up enough." she kissed both of us on the forhead before she brought us to our rooms and tucked us in. "Good night mom." We said in unison as she smiled and closed the door, as I slept I dreamed of what it would have been like if I was in my favorite game, and for a moment, I thought I saw a girl with green clothes in it, but... Why was she acting like she didn't belong there in my dream?
Eivexst: *sighs* Another chapter done.
Marche: That girl was Shara wasn't it?
Eivexst: You'll find out eventually or you might not, it's my choice Marche.
Shara: *hugs Marche from behind* It's okay, I'm sure it was me.
Eivexst: *shrugs* what ever you say Shara, any way please leave a review you all, and remember next chapter is the end of the intro.
