~The Regalia March~

[CAPSLOCK HERO]

Diz tensed, the salt stinging at the bites on her hips and arms. She paddled after Cross, showing no signs of fatigue, for she could not allow herself to seem weak. She swam after Cross, keeping her hand in his for she was not sure she had the strength to make it on her own. Diz broke the surface, and relished silently the air that seemed so precious at the time. She looked over at Cross and said in a shaking voice "Y...yes.. You don't look so well yourself. We have to find a way to get out of the water to treat our wounds."

As I neared the bottom of the shelf I saw to silver balls that looked like giant pearls in the murky water. It had to be Aurellum and Miress I thought to myself. I swam up to the orbs and put my hands on them. It felt cold but with a warm center, it was them, they were alive. I tied the orbs to me with a light chain. They were heavier than I expected but I managed to make it to the surface next to Diz and Cross. When I looked at them I saw Diz holding Cross' hand.
"Hey...whats up?"

[Disturbed-Perfection]

((I think that this has died....what a shame))

[CAPSLOCK HERO]

(Of course not. Arky just hasn't been online. He'll reply when he can. As for me, I have some-what of a reply formulated, but I'd like to wait a while longer to see if Arky has anything he wants to say/happen.)

((okay....))

(HI ALL! I'VE MISSED YOU GUYS! c: I hope you missed meh.]
(By the way, meh sis and Sirix are....gone. T^T)
I looked at Diz with dreary eyes, and shook my head. I looked around and sighed, for that the horrible fact had come upon me...
Miress and Aurellum had drowned. A tear fell from my eye, I knowing the fact that my sister was dead.
"Diz....we have to get to land. As for you, A'den, you have many wounds yourself. We need to survive-" I squeezed Diz's hand-"...as a whole."
I looked up at Siaxn with a saddened face before he shifted winds to pick us up. He planted us on a cloud that was gently blown towards land as he said, "O brave youths sentanced to walk this march...carry on through your losses...."

[CAPSLOCK HERO]

(I'VE MISSED YOU MOAR! ;O; I miss talking to you!)
The look upon Cross's face told the story. She wished to comfort him, but she had no means to know how, so she did what was normal and detached herself from the situation. Shoving any feelings of friendship away. Having to do that unnerved her, the fact that she'd harbored any sort of emotion besides one of distrust was something she could not have. That's why, when Cross squeezed her hand, she dropped his like she had been bit by a viper. She mumbled apologies, saying it had startled her. He had said they needed to work as a whole, but already she was drawing herself away, secluding herself. She pulled back from Cross, and said nothing more.

[Disturbed-Perfection]

(YAY!)
When I reached the surface the life in the pods were gone. I frowned as I let the sea take them away. "Thanks Cross I'll get them later." I informed him as we were lifted onto the cloud. When we reached shore I got off the cloud first and took in our surroundings. "Cross where are we?" I asked obviously showing i knew nothing of this place.

~Cross Riyon~
I shed a single tear as I looked around the subtle terrain. I shrugged and punched the ground hard, followed by another fist, then another.
"We could've saved them, A'den....but I went and f*cked everything up..."
The clouds started to ripple and light rain fell. I collapsed into the sand in a fit of rage and misery and curled up. Curled up and waited to die...

[Disturbed-Perfection]

Not bothering to turn around "Get up." I told him. "When people die in war you don't just stop and die. You continue fighting so that their deaths weren't in vain." I pulled off my armor and began to treat my wounds as I waited for him to answer.

[Arkydan]

~Cross Riyon~
I sighed and looked up at the skies.
"How're you not sad?" I asked, blankly. The rain got a little heavier and burned my wounds, but I ignored it.
I smacked the ground until my hands bled and cryed.
"My....sister....and her boyfriend...are.....dead..."

-Derick Hyjinx-
Derick now flew in the air, observing the three on the small island. He chuckled and chose a select path back to Lumaria. As he began to fly away, the words that Cross had said, "The Ruins are the key" replayed in his devious little mind. For stealth, Myn covered them with a camo blanket as the party of Hyjinx soared towards Lumaria...

[Disturbed-Perfection]

"I'm not sad because I got the feeling that I wasn't exactly liked by them." I said as wrapped a bandage around my arm.

[CAPSLOCK HERO]

"How are you sad?" Diz snapped, irritated. "At least those two are out of this damned hell-hole. And if you want to sit there and die, then by all means do so." She continued heatedly. "Gods know it'll be relier, but as for me I've fought too damn hard to stay alive, and I'm not about to half-a**." She began to remove her clothing and said "If it's too embarrasing to look at me, turn away because I have wounds too and my clothes are coming off."
