MR- I just wanna stop and say...thanks to everyone who has been reviewing my story, it really is a great motivation...in fact so great...I might be able to post two chapters today...maybe.
I just want to thank every single one of you for taking time out of your busy schedules and reading and reviewing.
Xaldin's POV
I placed her on the hammock and put her jacket on her like a blanket. Fang curled right on top of her, purring. I was just about to walk out when she spoke.
"Butch...sorry I'm sorry I broke my promise...I wasn't trying to...Fang."
"It's ok, you just sleep now ok." I watched as she drifted to sleep. Everyone was standing on the outside as I closed the door, the little girl, not letting anyone near her, ran to me, hugging my leg. Aurora tried to grab her but the kid just hugs me tighter.
"Bubbles, it's ok. The Kid's just lost her dad," I picked her up, Sebastian nodded, "It's ok. No one tell Buttercup anything, got it. If I hear one little word or see tears coming out of her eyes, I'll cut you in half."
I was at a meteor shower on this dock...I was holding that stupid gem in my hand...I was just walking away from someone when...when I heard this splash and I turned around...and...I jumped in...Why? I'm in the water again...everything went black...as I sank further and further down...
Everything changed...young teen...maybe close to a young adult...listening...watching as four babies were lifted in front of a crowd of people who were cheering...then there was fire.
"Avenge me! Avenge me! My Liege!" I heard a man screaming, "Avenge me! Butch!"
"Butch?" A female voice was calling me, Bella.
"Bella...Bella?" I just turned around, I saw her lying upside down with a spear sticking out of her stomach.
"My Liege! You let me die..."
"No!"
"You didn't love me...you wanted me dead! My Liege!"
"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!" I shot up, I pulled out my lance and held Bardock's neck to it. I was covered in sweat...I could barely breathe.
"My liege...its ok...it was just another nightmare," He gently pulled the lance from my hands, my hands were shaking.
"We...We're safe?" I was shaking like crazy...he handed me a glass.
"Drink my Liege...drink your elixir."
I shook my head, "Nnnn...nnnnooo."
He sighed and drank a little, giving me a bitter expression, "It's safe...now drink...c'mon..." He put the cup to my mouth...I shook my head but grab it and drank it. He patted me on the back and it started to calm me down. I was in a hammock back on the boat...I sighed. He poured me another glass.
"The attacks are getting worse." I gulped down the bitter stuff.
"My Liege as I have told you countless of times-"
"They're not attacks just the Kingdom Of Aeros' blessed gift of sight...yeah...yeah besides the wings that tear through my flesh...but I don't sense the impeding doom or nothing just the ghastly past...I could almost sense the fire...and that's not all...I was at a lake..."
"My Liege-"
I sighed in frustration, "I wish you would stop that, you are like the father...I never got the chance to know...you raised me like one of your own sons...taught me how to fight...you were-"
"My Liege, I do it because you are a Prince-"
"I didn't feel like one today...all those people...all those lives...I could have done something."
He pointed at the little girl with the shimmering butterfly wings, who was sleeping on a hammock close by, she wanted to stay close to me, the poor thing hasn't spoken or ate a thing.
"You saved this child, You sent Scott and Lester, who stayed back to help the survivors and sent some rebel soldiers over there as well, you didn't leave Castor...He may be badly injured but he is alive. I know you wish you could do more but by staying alive and taking the Goddess to Dalmasca will be the best way to help."
"You don't agree about me not telling her though?" I looked down.
"I know why and I can understand...but I don't agree. I saw her...she looks...just like Bella, it's almost seems like you were giving a second chance-"
I blushed, "That's not it! It's just that...I know it would break her heart...ok." I looked to the side not looking at him.
He didn't believe me, "Ok My Liege, that's all well, whatever the reason, but she needs to know the responsibility that she carries and the power. Breezy Hill City was magical and royally decree...it was suppose to be protect but she just...destroyed that decree and the city...Now a Crystal is in Jupiter Castle and in the hands of Vulcan's Archfiend. You are not helping her by keeping her ignorant."
I was getting frustrated now, "You know what, one of those seerers, told me before she died that she was sorry that such a task had to befall a child...at first I didn't know what she meant until...today...when I held her...I saw her life...she's not from this world, she was brought here and now after...all the shit that's happened to her, you want me to put the icing on the cake and tell her that she killed-"
"My Liege-"
"No, all our lives, me and my brothers were ready, we were trained for this...we watched People as they suffered and we are prepared for this world but she isn't...it's not fair to her, who didn't even ask to be here...You want to tell her that The Dark Lord made her kill so many lives. Bull shit."
"And that is why I call you my Liege."
"What? Seriously...a damn test?"
"My Liege, we Aegyls hardly lower ourselves to what we considered as lesser being but your father, in my book was never one of them. Though you boys are different, I see him in each of you...especially you right now...a girl has destroyed a city and you wish to protect her, I know for more reasons than one but...That is why I call you four My Liege, it is what I called your father," He smiled at me, " Now...I must take leave of you."
"Where are you going?"
"I must discover more answers...your father had notes...his studies...on the prophecy...I think there is someone who could have those notes...a scholar sage who he did research on the Star Goddess itself."
"Ok then fine. Just go already." I laid back.
"I do have one last thing to say, I know you've been hurt a lot in the past...because of you not being a true Aegyl and for Bella, I know how much you...loved her and then she was taken from you...since her death, you've been so distant, cold hearted, and even savage but today...when you held her this Buttercup and that child...I saw the Prince I raised since a babe. I just like the way she changed you a little."
"Get out." I said, but Bardock just laughed and walked away.
