Aramis Spring
Kairi's POV
I walked around Aramis Spring, stopping to stand in the midst of the flowers that grow there. I closed my eyes and sighed softly. I started to hum a song I knew all too well, then later started singing the words.
The Snow in the air
To sing me a lullaby
My winter, come hither to me
The dark nights to come
So kiss me for good-bye
The grace of the god land is near to you
Show me the flowers invisible
Sing me the hymns inaudible
The wind is my voice
The moon is my heart
Come find me, I'm on every hills and fields
I'm here... Ever your near...
(Sing for your love, gone so far in the past)
(Pray for the world, that you may rest in peace)
The snow in the air
To sing me a lullaby
The angel of rebirth is here
So let all your pain
Sleep within the husha-by
The grace of the god land
Grace of the god land
Grace of the god land is near...
So close to you
I sighed again and opened my eyes. I turned around and was shocked to see a man with green hair and a mask on his face. Then I realized that it was the same man that was chasing Luke and his friends in Chesedonia.
He suddenly started walking to where I was standing. I had my hands clasped together against my chest nervously.
Sync's POV
"I can't believe it! Why was I the one to partner up with Dist...? Thank Yulia I lost him after Chesedonia; that idiot is annoying! How he became a God-General is beyond me."
I was walking around the outside of Aramis Spring for a break from Dist the Annoying (jeez does that guy like talking to himself or what?); when I heard singing. I was confused I knew normal people would be out for monsters to easily attack them, I don't know why but I sped up my pace and stopped when I saw the source of the singing; a girl. I was behind her, so she didn't notice me. She has blue hair that stops at the middle of her back, and she's wearing an almost God-General-type dress with boots that go right around her ankles.
She stopped singing and turned around to face me with a surprised look on her face. I could see her eyes, they were an ice-blue color. I didn't know what that feeling was, what I felt when she was singing. I tried to ignore it and told myself I didn't need to feel that way.
I started to walk over to her, intending to ask why she was there.
I stopped a few feet away from the girl. I didn't want to get too close to her, she seemed scared or nervous. "What is a girl like you doing here? Better yet who are you..?"
Kairi's POV
When he asked me who I was and what I was doing there I blinked and smiled at him. He seemed to be taken aback by the smile.
"My name is Kairi." I answered, "And I'm here to relax and enjoy the flowers, even though monsters are close by." I paused for a moment, then asked "Are you, Sync the Tempest? The one that was chasing that group from Chesedonia?"
He seemed a little surprised and then he pointed at me all of a sudden.
"You're that girl I saw on the boat when I was chasing them!"
I couldn't help but chuckle at that "Yeah." I tilted my head at him, "So what is a God-General doing here?"
"Humph... None of your business, girl." He said, before turning away from me with his arms across his chest.
I smiled at him. I thought it was cute how he was being stubborn. I ran in front of him, hands clasped behind my back, smiling at the mask concealing his face.
"I'll leave you alone now, 'kay Sync? I have to take off anyway; there's something I still need to do. I hope we meet again, Sync. Ciao!" I turned around and started walking away from the field and Sync, my hands still clasped behind my back.

I was in a town called Daath hoping to find Luke and see if he needed my assistance, in saving the princess and Ion. I finally saw them; Luke, Tear, Guy, Anise, and Jade. I decided I might as well show myself to them.
I walked behind Guy, who I knew had a bad case of gynophobia, and put my lips up to his ear and shouted "Boo!" He jumped away from me screaming as a result.
I kept my smile on my face and waved at Luke
"I see you cut your hair Luke, it looks nice," I said before hugging him sideways again.
"Who are you?" I look to see, Anise, pointing at me like I was a bad person.
"Name's Kairi." I answered simply before turning back to Luke, "Anyways, how have you been, Luke?" I placed my hands at my sides, ignoring Anise. She didn't seem to like being ignored.
I kept my eyes on Luke, who seemed like he was nervous for some reason.
"I've been fine. I'm just here to-"
I cut him off, "You're here to save Natalia and Ion, right?"
"How did you know that?" Guy asked me suspiciously.
"I have my ways... If you want to get to them the easy way I'll help you, but if not I'll be on my merry way."
I used my finger to put my hair behind my ear, waiting for their answer.
"I think I would prefer the easy way, and I know Kairi enough to believe her. Is that alright with you Jade?" Luke asked, looking at Jade.
He pushed his glasses up on his nose "I believe none of us know Kairi very well, Luke. I think it's best that she doesn't help us this time."
"Kairi's a nice person though." Luke didn't look happy, he looked like Jade just kicked a puppy.
"I see. It's okay Luke." I turned around to walk away but faced them again to give them a quick message. "When you do find you're two friends, tell Ion Selena the Siren says hi!"
And with that, I took my leave to the ferry port.
Luke POV
"Selena the Siren? Who's that?" Luke asked
"No way!" Anise yelled, "She met Selena the Siren? She's one of the God-Generals! But for some reason, she disappeared a while ago and no one has seen her since."
"We should go on, everyone," Jade said interrupting the conversation.
"Boo..."
Kairi's POV
I was standing at the port waiting for my ferry to be ready, listening to the water. I turned around when I heard a familiar voice calling my name; I saw Sync walking over to me. I couldn't help but smile.
'What's this feeling? Why do I smile when I see him?'
I snapped out of my thoughts when he stopped right in front of me.
"Oh hi, Sync!" I said, "Fancy in meeting you here."
"Why are you at Daath Bay? And how did you even get here that fast?..." Even if he's wearing that mask...I could tell from his voice that he was irritated.
"You shouldn't worry about that," I said slyly. "But how are you? Still trying to find Luke and the others?"
He scowls, and his lips go into a straight line.
"You're starting to piss me off. Why is it I keep running into you?"
I was about to reply but the captain told me he was ready to set sail.
I boarded the boat and leaned against the railing near where Sync was still standing. I smiled at him.
"Maybe you should worry about something else 'kay? When we meet again, let's talk some more... Ciao!"
The boat started sailing and I waved at Sync who had his fists clenched on either side of his body; he was still irritated with me. Whoops?
"I wonder how someone like Sync could have my interest? I guess I'll find out somehow... For now, I'll just relax on the boat."
I waited for the boat to stop at my next destination, hoping to figure out why I felt this way when I saw him...
