I haven't played III in forever... the DS version made me so mad though! Whew, only two more prologues to go before things get good! I need some suggestions about which II character to put in (I was thinking maybe Maria) but I really want to know what you all would prefer. Also, I guess now is the time to thank my wonderful reviewers! 17 whole reviews! That's more than I've ever got! Thank you all so much!
Chapter 8- III Prologue
…we'll see you soon!
((((()))))
"Ow, Refia, stop pulling on my arm! That's hurts, you know!"
"Oh, stop being such a wuss, Arc!"
Argus sighed, wondering again how he had been pulled into their latest crazy scheme. Those two weren't even acting half their age. How they managed to save the world, he would never know.
"This is it!" I cried, finally pulling my arm free.
Refia cocked her head at the cavern entrance. "Well, it certainly figures Luneth would fall into a hole. Alright then, let's go see where he's gone off to now!"
I frowned. "Refia, come on. You know he would have gotten back out. Let's just go to Canaan and ask for help already!"
"Stop being such a scaredy cat! Nothing's gonna hurt us down here! Besides, what if Luneth found some kind of treasure? He could be hiding it from us."
"But-" I started, unsure.
Refia turned to me with a sour expression. "Arc, are going to come with me or not? I won't hesitate to leave you out here with Argus. You know that."
I pointed to the knight, growing more bored by the second. "But Argus even left Sarah to come with us! You can't make us stay out here!"
"THEN LET'S GO!"
Refia grabbed our wrists and hauled us along, leading the way through the cave. Bats flew out around us, making me flinch back in surprise.
But I still didn't get why Luneth up and disappeared on us. And on the eve of our big party, too! Luneth was always prone to doing weird things at weird times, so I guess this isn't too weird.
Still….
Refia gasped, running into a shaft of light. We looked up and saw an opening in the cave's ceiling. A single, rickety rope hung down from some unknown point. Refia gave the rope a good tug before hopping on it and climbing up.
She ignored my warnings and looked around at the top. "Nothing special!" she called down. "I can still see the village from here, too."
Joining us again, we continued on.
After a few run ins with some minor monsters and a few wrong turns, we finally made it into the deepest part of the cave: where the wind crystal was.
I gasped, staring at its brilliant light.
Then I knew where Luneth had gone.
"R-Refia?" I gulped, wiping my sweaty hands on my pants.
"Yeah, Arc?"
"I think… I think we aren't going to find Luneth anytime soon."
