Disclaimer/AN: So I wish I could tell you that Cesia plays more of a role in this fiction, but she doesn't. I've always loved her character design and development, though. I really have no idea what more to say here other than I hope you guys enjoy. And now for Mousey and I to do more editing. T^T Oh yeah! Also the titles for chapters may not even make a lick of sense because I'm just throwing the first thing that comes to mind there. XD -Star
Chapter Three: Rolling, Rolling, Rolling
Back at the Dragon Knight's Castle…
Cesia frowned. She wasn't able to hear a thing Shydeman, Shyrendora, or Jilge was saying. The Dragon Lord, who was beside her, was more concerned about the demoness who'd come up to the three. She had a familiar bottle around her neck.
The dragon lord turned to Cesia with a warm smile. "That's all I needed. Thank you, Cesia."
Cesia bowed her head. "May I leave?"
"Yes." The Dragon Lord waited until the psychic left the room before turning towards Ruwalk. "I have a new mission for the Dragon Knights."
Ruwalk nodded and went to fetch the three Dragon Knights. It wasn't before long when he spotted Rune and approached him. "You, Thatz, and Rath are needed. Immediately."
Rune, who was still holding Fire, asked, "Lord Lykouleon wants to see us?"
Thatz had been standing not too far away from Rune, holding Rath in a headlock. He looked up when he heard Ruwalk. "But we just got back form a mission," he whined.
Rath looked up, a gleam in his eyes. "Does it involve demons?" he questioned eagerly.
Ruwalk sighed and sweatdropped as Thatz and Rune both hit Rath in the back of the head. "NO! No demon hunting!"
Ruwalk sighed and merely shook his head as he turned to head back. "Follow me, Lord Lykouleon will explain everything."
Rath smirked and chased after him, an excited expression on his face.
Rune followed, rubbing his head the whole way.
Thatz followed suit.
When they entered the room, Lord Lykouleon had a serious expression on his face. "Sit down," he beckoned.
The three dragon knights sat at the Lord's request and Ruwalk stood against the wall beside the Dragon Lord.
"So, are we going demon hunting?" Rath piped up curiously.
The dragon lord shook his head. "Not quite. There are two people I need you three to watch carefully. One is a demoness and the other is an elf. They have been talking to officers of Nadil's army. I need you to also find out what they're up to."
Rath was up and gone at the very word "demon."
Rune and Thatz both sweatdropped. They turned their heads and watched the fire member of the team get up and leave.
The Dragon Lord also sweatdropped. "I only want you guys to spy! No demon hunting!" he cried.
Rune got up and bowed. "I'll get him," he announced and ran after the fire knight.
Thatz got up and bowed as well, as he turned and followed after his two companions with a small groan. So much for being a lazy day.
The dragon Lord sighed, and turned to Ruwalk. "I never even got the chance to tell them where to go.."
Ruwalk chuckled. "I'm sure they'll be back, my lord."
Just then, Rune appeared in the doorway with a reluctant Rath. "My Lord… where are we going exactly?"
Ruwalk couldn't help his hysteric laughter.
The Dragon Lord smiled. "They were last reported at the Fortune Teller's Street, where you first met Cesia."
Rune cast a wary glance at Ruwalk, thanked the lord, and turned to Rath and Thatz who had just joined them.
Rath smirked brightly. "Let's go find ourselves a demon and an elf," he said with less enthusiasm as he turned to leave. The other two followed suit.
Thatz looked towards the other two with a small groan. "Uh, do we even know what these two look like?"
"No," Rune replied, sighing. "I suppose we could ask Cesia."
"Yeah," Thatz muttered as the three of them turned down the hall to head in the direction of Cesia's room.
When the knights got there, Cesia opened the door, surprised when she saw the three. She was about to go see the Darnas. "Hello Rath, Rune, Thatz. Did you need something?" She asked.
"We are supposed to look for a demon and an elf-" Rune started.
"Yeah! What exactly does this demon look like, " the fire knight interrupted.
"What our demon-obsessed friend means is, we don't even know what the two even look like," Thatz continued for his fellow knights.
"Let me get my crystal ball," Cesia said, waving them into her room. Once the psychic was ready, she searched for the two that seemed to concern the Dragon Lord.
Rune looked over Cesia's shoulder.
Cesia pointed. "There," She said quietly as she pointed to the blond elf and the demoness with blue hair. "It appears that the demoness is the wielder of the bottle of light too."
"Bottle of light?" Thatz questioned.
Cesia nodded. "Her name is Kime and that odd shaped bottle around her neck holds the power over light. What makes it so powerful is it gives her the ability to withstand light and control it which demons themselves can not."
Thatz whistled.
"But what does an elf have to do with this demon Kime?" Rune asked, frowning. An elf with Nadil's Army didn't look promising.
"She's Kime's best friend and pretty much her guardian as well." Cesia began to explain. "They're the opposite of what most people would expect. Eva, the elf, is serious, strong, and fierce, while Kime on the other hand is very naïve and free-spirited."
Rune contemplated this. "Then why are they with Nadil?"
"I'm not exactly sure," Cesia confessed as she looked into her crystal ball once more.
Just then Cernozura showed up and waved the boys away, telling them they had to leave.
Rune walked out, followed by Thatz and Rath. And the Dragon Knight trio departed for their newest mission.
