Melody: *She was walking with the group as they departed for Exeadius, already walking for a while. They were still in Forgotten Woods, heading north east.*
Harrier: Ancaladar said he's at the border now. *He said as he looked back to them.*
Shunsui: *He moved a hand to his hat, chuckling* I see, so we'll be heading there to warn them shortly.
Ukitake: *He noticed a strange spiritual presence, he looked around but shrugged it off*
Ra: Auntie Alonsie? *He looked up at her, blinking* Balls okay?
Alonsa: *She turned to Ven, cringing slightly* Somewhat.
Ven: *He groaned, walking faster as he crossed his arms, hoping the others wouldn't ask*
Shunsui: *He chuckled, putting his arm around Zelda’s waist*
Zelda: *She smiled faintly as she moved closer to him.*
Melody: *She looked ahead, seeing the exit of the Forgotten Woods*... We're leaving Grandilia soon.. *She spoke quietly.*
Purple: *He yawned, stretching as they walked.*
Blue: I can only assume that it will take us at least a few days to reach Exeadius..
Ion: *He walked and stopped ahead of them, facing them. His hair blew in the wind as he smiled softly, seeming a little nervous* E-exuse me? Might you be the messengers of Korillia?
Ukitake: *His eyes widened, feeling the magic overwhelm him*
Melody: *She stopped, looking at him nervously. Her butterfly stared at him with caution.*
Ven: *He looked over.* What's it to you? *He noticed Ukitake.*
Shunsui: That's...quite the spiritual energy you have in you, kid...
Ion: I'm in no way hostile to any of you. *He slowly kneeled down elegantly, dropping his staff onto the floor as he backed away from it. His expression was calm and gentle, smiling faintly as he stared nervously*
Red: How do you know about Korillia...? *He noticed his nervousness*
Ion: I want to aid in the peace between both countries the best that I can. I-I never meant to intrude in your departure, but I have traveled from Exeadius myself to see the Korillian King about the matter. I originally resonated from Terresia, and was sent by Lady Laura.
Melody: *She stared at him nervously, remaining silent before she found the courage to speak*.. My.. father does not wish to go to war.. He sent us to go to Exeadius...
Ion: *He smiled, closing his eyes* Such relief... I am very pleased to hear such news. You were coming from the kingdom, and I assumed you to had been messengers as well. I am an emissary of peace between most continents in the story.
Green: You know about the secret world...?!
Ion: *Hearing the tone of his voice, he felt nervous again but slowly nodded*
Ven: *He looked at him suspiciously.* Okay.. what are you doing here with us then? We need to get there as soon as possible.
Ion: *He turned to Ven, smiling* I don't mean to tag along so suddenly, but I must also be on my way to Exaedius. You've said that the Korillian King has ceased all operations towards the front line, and I have already gone to see the Grandilian King, unfourtane to speak of no avail in the attempt.
Alonsa: Ohh, okay. I see what you mean; you’re trusting us with the message and want to tag along. Having an emissary of peace would sure help with a war, but tell me, what makes you so important?
Harrier: Judging by how Ukitake and Shunsui are acting, I'm going to assume that's his proof right there.
Ukitake: You are very versatile in the art of sorcery, aren't you? I can feel it from here.
Ion: I am called Fon Master Ion. I am able to detect what is called Fonnons, particles of the world's matter. What form the world itself. There are seven Fonnons, the seventh fonnon is a special one. It allows me to read what is called a Score.
Green: *His eyes widened curiously* What's the score?
Ion: The score is what is known as the world's history. With it, I am able to read past events as well as future events. The score has only been recently updated, and I've yet to read it to the people of Exeadius.
Alonsa: No way... no wonder people would want you around...
Melody: *She stared at him, still unsure, though she remained quiet.*
Tiercel: We should get going then. *He bowed his head.* Welcome to the team, Ion.
Ion: Your kindness will go without illness. *He smiled, sighing in relief as he walked over to his staff, picking it off the ground as he waited for them to walk ahead, following shyly*
Tiercel: *He smiled as he walked beside him.* I'm Tiercel, the first high mage in over a thousand years, so it is my duty to fight for the light. Harrier over there is a knight mage, and he is sort of the same thing, only his anger powers his magic. I guess we all have the same goal here. *He chuckled.*
Ion: *He turned to him, slightly overjoyed that he had taken a liking to him* If all that is fair goes well, I would like to think fondly of you. *He placed a hand over his mouth, laughing softly* I am keen to other mages, Tiercel. You seem very kind.
Tiercel: *He blushed faintly as he looke down, embarrassed.* I try to be..
Harrier: *He rolled his eyes.* He's just a big suck up. Don't let me remind you of the Water Temple. *He teased.*
Tiercel: *He blushed more, falling silent.* A-Ancaladar... is coming soon... *He stuttered.*
Ion: Ancaladar is a very elusive name, it holds many great feats. By thus alone I find myself quite excited. *He looked ahead, smiling*
Tiercel: Oh.. Ancaladar isn't as person he--
Ancaladar: *He bowed his head as he stood before them, growling lowly in happiness.* I am pleased to see that you all have made it safely. And welcome back, Alonsa.
Alonsa: Hahaha thanks! *She placed her arms behind her head smiling widely, running to climb up*
Ion: *He looked up in awe, holding out his hand over his eyes* A proud dragon. I am honoured to have lived to see one, this is quite remarkable indeed. *He bowed back* Ancaladar, I am Fon Master Ion. The pleasure is mine alone.
Ancaladar: *He nodded in agreement.* Tiercel told me about you. Our minds are connected.. so it doesn’t take long. I will be taking you all to Exeadius, though it will be a long journey. It could be a week’s flight, but I will not be able to make it without taking one stop... However, the sights are incredible for your travels
Ion: The sights are to be taken in slowly, as to appreciate the aspects of life. *He tried to climb up the dragon, sweatdropping*
Green: *He looked at him, sweatdropping*
Harrier: *He walked over, sighing as he grabbed him and pushed him up.* There.
Tiercel: *He got up behind Ion, smiling.* Do you enjoy heights?
Ion: I'm familiar with them. *He turned around, smiling to Tiercel* I'll try to contain any uneasiness as to not cause dissatisfaction amongst my peers.
Alonsa: *Staring at him, sweatdropping* You sure talk funny...
Tiercel: *He nodded to him as he patted his back calmly.* I'm sure you'll fair better than Harrier. He's afraid of heights. *He chuckled.*
Harrier: I am not! *He snapped.* You just trained Ancaladar to fly too fast. It's not time of dragon wars anymore. *He pouted.*
Ancaladar: *He waited for everyone to get on, spreading his wings.* Are we ready for our journey?
Shunsui: *He laid down, tilting his hat over his eyes as he drank sake* I do think we are, big guy.
Ion: *He placed a hand nervously over Shunsui, worriedly* Oh, you might fall... Please, sit up properly as to not cause any worry, I'm terribly frighten for you.
Shunsui: *He stared at him, surprised* O-oh... sorry.
Zelda: *She smiled to Shunsui* He'll be okay.. he does this all of the time. I wouldn't be surprised if he fell asleep on Ancaladar.
Ion: Yes, it is not my place to rightfully speak openly. *He sat down, still concerned*
Alonsa: Um... you don't need to be so formal...*she sighed*
Tiercel: What..? He's being formal? I don't quite see that.. I mean.. He seems to know quite a lot. *He smiled.*
Ancaladar: *He growled lowly.* I'm going to start.. Hold on tightly. *He said as he flapped his wings, beginning to run.*
Alonsa: *She turned to Ion, smiling* So a Fon Master, where does that originate from?
Ion: *She smiled towards her* The Fon Master is the highest leadership in the Order of Lorelai, a group of religious priests and nobles that protect the Score. My home is what is known as Daath, where the Order of Lorelai are located. The high chapel there is where I read small scores, such as birthday scores and death scores.
Alonsa: D-do people really want to know the day they die...?
Ion: *He looked down, smiling faintly* People have become dependent over the score, but do not blame them. They tend to find that they are incapable of living in fear.
Ven: Hm.. It sounds like a good reason, but I wouldn't want to know that.
Ancaladar: ( Flying with Ancaladar ) *He jumped into the air, flapping his wings as he began to fly, flying fast.*
Green: I could see why the people would be dependant over something that read their futures out.
Ion: Sadly, some of them even use the score to ask what they should have for dinner.
Shunsui: Kinda sounds like a nuisance, for you to have to always read the score for people. Especially with pity ones like that.
Ion: *He smiled softly* I don't mind. I can understand the people's plight.
Tiercel: *He smiled.* You can't argue against what makes people happy.. If knowing this kind of stuff makes them happy, then I would do it.
Ion: *He smiled, turning to them* There are some that dislike the score, and want the world to change into a world that doesn't depend on the score to run their life. They are called the Six God Generals. There is Asch the Bloody, Largo the Lion, Legretta the Quick, Sync the Tempest, Disc the Reaper, and...*He looked slightly disturbed* Arietta the Wild.
Ukitake: *His eyes widened*
Melody: *Her eyes looked to him, fear in her eyes* ...Arietta...? *She spoke quietly.*
Shunsui: *His eyes narrowed, glaring in concern* The Six God Generals, eh? How exactly do they plan on making a world without the score?
Ion: They wish to replace all the humans in the world with replicas, and having me read the planet score, ultimately draining all the magic and life from my body and ending my life.
Alonsa: Whoa! But hey, you won't have to worry about Arietta, the time rip must have changed her role!
Melody: *She stared at him*... She's... allianced with my enemy now.. *She looked down.* Nightshade sort of.. adopted her as his own child..
Ion: *He stared concerned* That sounds quite strange... but I do believe the God Generals have become dormant. The last activity from their rebellion was before Grandilian merged with Terresia.
Alonsa: Yeah, I think that story plot was overwritten. But doesn't that mean the score was overwritten too?
Ion: No, the score always gets updated; it shouldn't be affected by time rips.
Ven: *He sighed* I'm more confused than ever.
Blue: I fear that perhaps Nightshade is helping Ariertta in a way. *He put his hand on his chin, thinking* Perhaps unintentionally with her old destiny.
Ion: *He stared down worriedly* Who is to know if Arietta still houses the desires of her old role? By the sounds of it, she is the only God General you all have encountered thus far.
Red: Let's hope we don't meet anymore God Generals, or we'll have another journey to look forward to.
Tiercel: *He nodded faintly* We need to worry about these problems we have now. The fate of Link, Grandilia, Exeadius and Terresia rely on us.. *He rubbed his head* Um.. no pressure.. of course..
Ion: For a Fon Master, pressure is something somewhat numb to my emotion of this point forward. *He laughed* I am happy of the time rip altering much of the god generals old intentions, and a war is much more important than the Order of Lorelai's struggle affairs.
Green: *He smiled* You’re sure one incredible guy, Ion.
Ion: *He blushed, looking at his fingers* Oh you must not tease me. We must focus on Exaedius.
Ra: Hahaha! Ion, Ion! *He pulled in his ponytails*
Ion: *He turned to face him, smiling as he ignored the pain* You’re very charming...*He sweatdropped*
Zelda: *She looked over and reached for him, giggling as she hugged him*
Melody: *Her eyes were staring at the ground below, feeling sorrow inside of her. She began to enter deep thought.*
Green: *He looked over to the sights, admiring them as he faintly smiled*
Alonsa: Well, Mr. Dragon should be pretty tired soon so we should look for a nice campsite.
Ancaladar: *He flapped his wings* We could stop at the ocean, but it would take a bit to get to it.
Ion: *He petted Ancaladar softly, smiling up at him* Do not worry if you feel too tired to make it there, It would not be worth your suffering.
Red: *He stared at Ion, surprised* Wow you sure like Ancaladar.
Tiercel: *He smiled* Ancaladar is the closest thing to me..
Ancaladar: *He growled lowly, flapping his wings.* Perhaps next stop then.. These wings are over a thousand years old.
Ukitake: Sounds just fine, Ancaladar.
Alonsa: Yeah, no rush!
Ion: *He smiled, placing his staff on his lap waiting patiently*
Ancaladar: *He flew for a while before he began to descend, landing in flat fields of grass and flower patches with some trees around.*
Green: *They all got off, looking around* I'll go get some wood for tonight.
Red: You, get wood? You won't even be able to scratch a tree! I'll do it!
Green: I can do it! You’re the one that wouldn't be able to!
Red: You wanna bet?!
Blue: I believe we should get the pieces that are on the ground... we'd get more that way.
Purple: *He rolled his eyes, heading off.* I'll do it. Quit your fighting.
Melody: *She sighed, looking down as she walked ahead.*
Red: Ugh, whatever! *He sat down, crossing his arms turning away from the group annoyed*
Ukitake: *Sweatdrops* I'll praise the day we get Link back to normal.
Ion: *He smiled, walking over to Red as he knelt down, smiling at him* I'm sure you’re very capable. What I think suits your standard most accurately if I may suggest, is to protect the group from the monsters we may encounter. You never know what can sneak up on everyone in their sleep.
Red: *His eyes narrowed, turning to him and slowly nodding* Yeah...
Ion: *He smiled warmly before standing up*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*In Terresia Castle, the doors opened up for Katie as she arrived. When she reached the Golden door, it scanned her code and began to open*
Goddess Katie: *She looked around curiously, smirking as she went in after it opened.* He wasn't kidding.. This place is great.
Preston: *He was sitting in his throne, looking ahead. Magic pulsed out of the chair in the ground, streaming to the entrance as it fueled the door with magic. The windows glowed faintly from the magic outside* Welcome, Katie. *He smiled*
Blackstar: *Stared oddly* That's the Grandilia creator, isn't it?
Zelos: Oh my. *He smirked*
Goddess Katie: *She waved as she walked in* Hey guys. *She smiled.* What's up?
Laura: *She smiled* Well, things in Terresia have been quite suspicious lately.
Preston: Y-yeah...
Goddess Katie: *She looked to them oddly.* What do you mean?
Blackstar: We're getting a lot of missing people reports around the areas outside the city. No bodies have been found yet, though. Kinda sucks, I want to fight someone.
Zelos: Though the royal family isn't suppose to get involved with the problems of the people outside the walls. Part of the system, I quite enjoy it. *He narrowed his eyes* Not even the heroes of Terresia are allowed to do much, being the royal guard.
Preston: I really hate that rule...
Goddess Katie: *She stared, stunned.* Missing? Does Ammy know about this? With that going on, it doesn't seem fair that Laura and Preston cannot help..
Laura: It's always like that. Fredrick likes to keep us safe, but a long time ago we used to be a very small town, journeying with all the anime characters and going on adventures, but ever since Terresia has made a contract with the Imperial Army at Republic City, the town has changed into a magic fortress where we're stuck in all the time, the three groups, One Piece, Symphonia and Sailor Moon are also abide by these laws and are to simply run the city.
Preston: Ammy can't get involved in the story.
Goddess Katie: *She frowned, looking over.* Does this imply to me too? Because if you guys want, I can go see what I can find.. Then again, I'm a creator too. *She sighed* This is frustrating.
Fredrick: I'm afraid so, while in our care, you are also forbidden from doing any of the so called dirty work. What you do in your freetime in the city is up to you, but we cannot further allow the risk of Grandilia to fall. You are to be kept safe until a proper kingdom of your own is formed, but even there you may only have your creations to protect you. Ammy would make sure of this herself, you cannot escape.
Preston: Fredrick, that's enough.
Laura: This is probably because we didn't want to stay immortal. Because we can die in the story now, it's been like this ever since.
Goddess Katie: Well.. This sucks. *She crossed her arms. I hope this doesn't have anything to do with... what I've added recently.
Laura: No, it shouldn't have been. The work of two different creators don't affect their creators life directly. This was all formed in Terresia's previous adventures, when we didn't know about Grandilia.
Preston: But because you were adopted by Ammy and the two worlds merged, it's become your law as well.
Fredrick: Respectively, some traits of Grandilia have also transferred. Kingdoms around the world have become to divide each other. From magic, to what I would call medieval, the two titles have been clashing with bitter results. It is one of Ammy's little problems she needs to sort out.
Zelos: Besides Grandilia and Exeadius, but that alone has affected other places.
Goddess Katie: *She rubbed her head* Uh... I'm confused now, but I'll just try and understand.
Blackstar: Laura and Zelos are engaged, by the way. You’re invited to their wedding in the near future.
Laura: *She sweatdropped*
Goddess Katie: Uh... thanks. *She smiled faintly.* Hey, Presty? Do you think we can start stuff today?
Preston: Oh, you mean the Kingdom, right? Yeah we should really start it so you can have a place to go to of your own.
Blackstar: *He turned to Preston* Oh can I watch?!
Preston: *He looked down blushing* Okay...
Blackstar: With ME there, you'll creations will be that much more impressive! *He jumped down, holding out his arms for him to catch him, laughing*
Preston: Y-yeah, well let's go now.... Please try to stay quiet.
Goddess Katie: ...We're not going to get any work done, are we? *She looked to him with her look*
Preston: *He laughed nervously, sweatdropping*
Imperial Soldier: *Walked into the room* Your majesty.
Preston: *He turned around, slightly nervous* Another... missing person?
Imperial Soldier: Not this time. We've found the bodies of infants.
Preston: *His eyes widened and shook as he turned pale* Wh-what...?!
Goddess Katie: *She looked over, sorrow in her eyes.* Oh my god..
Laura: You’re telling me you found a hoard of dead babies just lying around...?!
Imperial Soldier: *He looked down* It was not a sight anyone should have witnessed...word has begun to spread to the city and the citizens have begun to panic.
Fredrick: Tell them it's fine, we can't have a panic. We'll investigate immediately.
Goddess Katie: *She sighed.* Great... now I have a war to worry about and this. I'm sorry.. I came at a bad time.
Preston: I'd rather have you with me than out there. *He turned away, rubbing his head* Soldier, please increase security in and outside the city perimeter, prepare the bodies and prepare a proper burial.
Imperial Soldier: Yes, your Majesty... *he walked out*
Laura: *Her eyes narrowed, beginning to form tears* Preston... Infants... who would do that?
Preston: *His eyes shook, closing them before leaving with Katie and Blackstar*
Goddess Katie: *She followed after him, sighing.* I get the feeling there's more to this..
Preston: Yeah... there must be...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Melody: *Morning came soon, the fire they had built already burnt out. She was sitting alone against a tree, hugging her knees as her eyes were closed.*
Blue: *He was laying in the grass, slightly drooling as he slept.*
Green: *He stood up, looking around* It's morning, everyone...
Alonsa: GET THE HELL UP PEOPLE!!!
Green: A-Alonsa, shh...
Alonsa: Early bird gets the worm! *She placed her hands on her hips*
Red: *He woke up, annoyed*
Ra: *He woke up on a tree branch for some reason, falling down on Shunsui's stomach giggling as he pulled the entire branch with him*
Zelda: *She looked over at Shunsui as she woke up* Shunsui... *she smiled faintly*
Purple: *He groaned* Alonsa.. sometimes you can be a pain.. *He got up, stretching.*
Shunsui: *His face was in a bunch of leaves. He slowly pulled it off his face and gave his signature expression*
Alonsa: GOOD! *She looked around, seeing Ion sleeping next to Tiercel* Fon Master, up and stretching!
Ukitake: The Fon Master is a surprisingly deep sleeper.
Tiercel: *He was sound asleep as well, cuddled in his cloak.*
Harrier: Another trait they share. *He rolled his eyes.*
Red: *He walked over to Ion, kneeling down and about to flick his nose when his wrist was grabbed by Ion, his eyes widened*
Ion: *Sits up and begins to yawn, realizing that he was holding his wrist* Good morning, Red. Have you slept well?
Red: *He glared, pulling his away* Yeah, I did! Man your reflexes don't live up to your frail appearance.
Ion: *He blinked, not knowing what he had meant*
Tiercel: *He slowly opened his eyes*... good morning.. *He yawned*
Ion: *He held a hand to his mouth, laughing softly as he stared at Tiercel* Your expression is awake, but your body and soul is drowsy. I find that to be amusing. *He stood up, cleaning his robes*
Alonsa: Only you, Fon master...*She giggled after rolling her eyes*
Ven: *He went over, hugging Alonsa from behind*
Tiercel: *He sat up, stretching*
Alonsa: *She blushed, smiling* Good morning, Stud.
Ion: *He smiled, watching everyone head towards Ancaladar* Let's continue our travels to Exeadius.
Arietta: *She landed behind him in the distance, getting off her Hresvelger as she hugged her stuffed animal tightly, calling out* Ion!!
Ion: *His eyes widened*
Tiercel: *He looked over, his eyes staring at her. He glared faintly*
Ion: *He slowly turned around, gripping his staff as his eyes narrowed* Arietta...
Arietta: *Her eyes turned teary as she hugged her stuffed animal* Ion... why did you leave me... Why did you replace me?!
Ven: *He drew his sword as he stared at her.* Arietta.. *He spoke lowly.*
Melody: *She watched her nervously.*
Ion: *He closed his eyes* Anise Tatlin arrived shortly after your mental breakdown, and I found it to be better this way. *He said flatly, the wind blowing his hair and robes as he stared at her calmly*
Arietta: No...*She dug her nails into her stuffed animal as tears streamed down her face* That can't be it... I wasn't that sick... you’re lying... something else happened that you and Anise don't want to tell me about!
Ion: Arietta. *He spoke sternly, glaring* Why did you join the God Generals? Was it to take revenge on Anise?
Arietta: Of course... she took you away from me...
Ion: Then, did you know that their intention all along was to kill me?
Arietta: Master Van said he wouldn't! He said that as long as I helped him with my monster friends that he would never...
Ion: Arietta. I am trying to stop this war. Why did you come here? Was it to confront me about this?
Arietta: Ion... Don't you want to be with me anymore? *Her eyes shook* Do you not... care anymore?
Ion: Arietta...
Tiercel: *He stood beside Ion, watching her as she was crying. He was confused, but somehow he felt Arietta wasn't being fair*
Ion: *He looked down* It wouldn't be the same. I'm not... *He almost said something, but stopped himself*
Arietta: *She glared through her tears, beginning to glow* And instead you rather be with mommy's murderer... *She began to tightly hold her stuffed animal, forming holes into it with her nails*
Ion: *His eyes widened, holding out his arm to the others* Everyone, get on Ancaladar!
Harrier: *He led everyone onto Ancaladar, glaring as he watched.*
Tiercel: *He stood beside Ion, drawing his wand as his hair and cloak blew in the wind with Ions clothes.*
Ion: What do you intend to do, by solving your problems with violence? *His eyes narrowed* I still care about you Arietta, *He said, hesitantly* please return to how you were. I beg you.
Arietta: I'M LIKE THIS BECAUSE OF YOU! *Magic blasted out of the floor*
Ion: *He grabbed Tiercel's wrist as he held his staff forward, creating a barrier of Fonnons, octagon shaped as he ran with him*
Tiercel: *He followed after him, beginning to cast a spell. His hands glowed with a blue sphere of energy, throwing it over to Ancaladar. A spherical barrier formed around him.*
Arietta: *She ran forward, the barrier shocking her as she made contact, falling to the floor as her stuffed animal fell beside her. Her face was drenched with her tears as she slowly sat up, placing her hands over her eyes as she bawled, her Hresvelgr flying to her*
Ion: *He looked back, his eyes narrowing full of sorrow*
Tiercel: *He grabbed Ion, pushing him onto Ancaladar* Look, I know this is going to hurt you, but she's with Nightshade now.. *He said as he jumped up.* She has a huge hate for Melody, and because of this, she's going to tell him. As long as I live, I refuse to let something happen to a fellow mage. *He looked ahead* Go Ancaladar!
Ancaladar: *He began to run, flying up into the air as he roared loudly.*
Melody: *She looked down at Arietta nervously.*
Arietta: *She looked up at them as they flew, giving up as continued to cry.* Ion... haven't you left me enough...
Ion: *He stared down at her seriously, turning away as his hair and robes blew from Ancaladar's movements.*
Tiercel: *He rested a hand on his shoulder, sighing as he closed his eyes.*
Melody: *She watched as she got smaller, sorrow in her eyes.* It's my fault.. I'm sorry..
Ion: *His eyes narrowed, looking down* No...actually, it's nobody's fault... You see, I'm not the Ion that Arietta was in love with...
Alonsa: *Her eyes widened* She doesn't know that?
Ion: I'm...the original Ion's replica. The real Ion died, and that was the only reason we had to fire Arietta from being the Fon Master's Guardian... because...*His eyes closed* She would definitely... commit suicide if she knew.
Tiercel: *His eyes stared at him*... Ion... *He sighed* You had enough on your shoulders...
Ion: I...can't have Arietta know the truth. It's better for her to think that the one she loved is still alive...*He wiped his tears, but looked at them in his hands, seeming confused* ...I'm crying. I haven't done this before...
Green: *His eyes narrowed* Ion...
Tiercel: *He moved his arm around him as he patted his back.* Well you have the best people here to do it with.. Let it out. *He spoke lowly.*
Arietta: *The barrier wore off, Arietta laying there with her eyes faded and narrowed. She had stop crying, but she felt too emotionally weak to move. Some of her Ligers began to show up, sitting around her as her mom began to walk out from behind the trees*
Liger Queen: *Licked her face*
Arietta: ...Mommy...*She smiled* At least...you came back to me...
Liger Queen: *She grabbed her and raised her to her back, beginning to walk when they bumped into Nightshade. She growled lowly*
Nightshade: *He was standing there, his eyes looking at Arietta. He was silent.*
Arietta: *Her eyes were faded out, emotionally drained. She didn't have the energy to look up to him, trails left by her tears over her face. Her hair fell over her face as she remained almost lifeless*
Nightshade: *He looked to her mother* Let’s get her back.. *He spoke lowly, looking over to the sky as his eyes narrowed. * It seems they want to play dirty... so I will do this.. For you Arietta...
Arietta: *Her eyes closed, she didn't seem to be responsive anymore. Her mom looked to her, growling worriedly as she roared to her, but she didn't move.*
Liger Queen: *She nodded to Nightshade, roaring at him as if to tell him to hurry*
Nightshade: *His eyes narrowed, forming magic around them as he began to teleport them over to their lair.*
Ion: *He wiped the last of his tears, staring ahead seriously* Let's go, there's no time to waste.
Shunsui: *He looked to him sympathetically, slowly nodding as his eyes narrowed* That's a good attitude to have. We must stop this war from breaking out.
Tiercel: *He patted his back, looking ahead as he smiled faintly.*
Ancaladar: It will be at least three more days.. I'm flying my fastest right now.. *He growled lowly.*
Ukitake: I hope we can get there before Grandilian's army...
Ion: *His eyes narrowed* I've asked Anise to stay at Exaedius' capital. Once we reach there and warn them, Anise and I will try to help as best as we can.
Ven: *He looked over, holding Alonsa to him.* And once we do that, what do we do? Are we fighting against Grandilia?
Ion: *He turned to him* As an emissary of peace, I would rather avoid that as much as possible, but your group can do that if you find it to be necessary.
Ven: Well I can't see what else we have to do.. their army is coming, and we can't just convince the king now, seeing as he's stubborn.
Ion: Grandilia does not know of the score, so threatening their kingdom with stopping readings will not work. However the score is popular in Exeadius, and not only that, by using it I can read out the approximate time of Grandilia's arrival.
Ven: *He looked at him, pouting faintly* That still doesn't answer my question.. we can prepare Exeadius as much as we want, but what do we do about Grandilia?
Ion: A fight will break out, regardless of action. The war is too prepared on one side to stop them, but as long as we keep the capital from falling they cannot claim victory.
Alonsa: Wouldn't Exeadius win automatically? Magic vs a bunch of weapons speaks for itself.
Ion: People will still die, Alonsa.
Melody: *She shook her head, her eyes looking down* Grandilia won the war over a century ago... the only un-magic based kingdom..
Alonsa: *Her eyes widened* What? How the hell did that happen? Did they do a surprise attack?
Melody: They were doing fine on their own.. but they were beginning to lose near the final hours of the battle.. My people came at their final hour.. clutching the win for Grandilia.. They are strong, and they mean business.. *She held her arm* My father told me everything... for he was the one who led them in that war. He told me of their tactics, what happened, how it happened.. I know how they did it.. they use strategies and play mind games.. Rather than going straight into battle.. they lure the enemy and strike.. They were losing because Exeadius and the other kingdom were desperate and began to use magic that could match the Inner Power, though it drained energy of the people around them. Once the Korillian arrived, they were too exhausted to fight back, and they took the win for Grandilia..
Ukitake: Korillia used the Inner Power to finish the war up.
Melody: *She nodded faintly.* But it was hidden as my father returned.. which was why Nightshade failed to get it the night he attacked..
Alonsa: Okay so I find it ironic that the Inner Power will be used against Grandilia this time. *Ion stared worriedly, Alonsa turned to him* What?
Ion: They may... have a grudge on Melody. She is the daughter of the King that defeated their country, and if they do something, Korillia will undoubtfully attack them once again.
Green: ...What?!
Melody: *She looked down, holding her arm* It's a risk I need to take.. *She said quietly.* It's either... my kingdom falls again, or more innocent people die... I've experienced both before..
Ion: *He turned to her* And I think if your with me, they wouldn't harm you. They couldn't risk harming the Fon Master if they wished to continue with the score.
Alonsa: I guess you intend to use your status to try and stop anything against Melody. It's also good for telling them to prepare, and for them to believe us, right?
Ion: *He nodded softly* If they do not believe us, the score would change their mind if it is written there.
Melody: *Her eyes narrowed as she looked down.* That's... not what I'm worrying about right now..
Red: People always die in wars, it's not avoidable.
Melody: *She shook her head, looking up* I'm... not talking about that..
Ra: *He turned to her, blinking*
Melody: After... how Arietta just acted... and what happened in the past... I fear Nightshade is going to get involved... and try scheming against me.
Ion: Is this Nightshade close to Arietta?
Melody: *She nodded to him.*
Ven: He pretty much adopted her as his daughter after he found out Melody accidently killed her mother, hence the infinite grudge against Melody because Nightshade is after her and has been.
Ion: This man couldn't possibly be treating Arietta right if he's this cruel to Melody...
Alonsa: I found it to be pretty weird myself how he changes when Arietta is involved.
Harrier: The guy helped Ammy when the Time Rip was here after we found out how much he hates her, all because Arietta was there.
Ven: He uses the accident of her mother against Melody, allowing Arietta to see that Melody is a horrible person, though in a weird way I can see him caring for her.
Melody: Regardless.. I think he's going to get revenge.. *She closed her eyes* And last time he tried to attack, it was for pure curiosity... not influenced by anger..
Shunsui: After the way Arietta was, Nightshade must be very angry with us. If not already planning to be involved, with this, it would be on a personal level.
Alonsa: Sometimes I think if Arietta wasn't with him, he'd be less scary.
Ion: Before the Time Rip and the arrival of Grandilia, Arietta was always alone, even when conspiring with Van Grants, the leader of the God Generals. I had to protect Valoo at Dragon Roost Island from Arietta's attempt at trying to capture him.
Red: Why the hell did Arietta want Valoo?
Ion: She...thought he'd join her monsters because she saw him suffering there.
Ukitake: *Looked to Ion* It seems like Arietta is good with communicating with monsters, so I guess she felt Valoo's pain.
Zelda: *She looked over to them, thinking.* I don't... remember Valoo ever suffering that much.. The last time he did was when the monsters took over the island, but Link took care of them. He flew off ever since. *She blinked.* He's like Ancaladar.. a guardian dragon.
Ion: The God Generals must have upset him.
Ven: I have no clue what you guys are talking about. *He stared, confused.*
Zelda: It's.. another part of Hyrule. Going into Great Bay, you will reach the ocean, where a bunch of islands are. Link's grandmother and sister are on one of them. However, it's really far away. A trip to Termina is about the same length as what we're going through right now.
Ion: Nonetheless, we should start descending for the second stop now. We've been flying for quite some time, I'm sure Arietta won't be able to come after us.
Ancaladar: *He growled lowly as he began to descend.* Thankfully, the ocean I was going to take you all to is not too far from here. Exeadius is only a couple of more days away
Alonsa: *She sighed* This is taking so long, I need to use the washroom too...
Green: *Facepalm* Alonsa, keep that to yourself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tiercel: *He looked ahead, and in the distance there was golden sand forming just barely in seight.* Huh... you weren't kidding.
Ukitake: It would be nice to relax on the shore. *He smiled*
Ra: SWIM AND PEE!
Shunsui: Swim and pee sounds good.
Tiercel: Ugh... I feel bad for the ocean...
Harrier: Please.. enough with this. *He groaned.*
Ancaladar: *He landed on the ground, but he kept running at a fast speed*
Alonsa: I find it funny how dragons run. They look like little turkeys.
Ion: I think they look like little bunnies myself.
Green: *Sweatdrops*
Ancaladar: *He looked back, glaring.*
Ven: So... How do you think we're going to fix the Link problem?
Red: Isn't the war more important right now? We'll figure that out afterwards. *He crossed his arms, annoyed* How can we focus with so many things going on right now?
Ukitake: *He sweatdropped, placing a hand on his chin as he began to think deeply*
Alonsa: Let's just grab them and push them into each other. *She smiled widely*
Ven: *He chuckled.* Let's try that Alonsa.
Harrier: *He glanced to Red* Not to be rude, but I don't think your girl friend can handle you being split anymore.
Red: You can't force me. *Alonsa pushed him into Blue*
Alonsa: SOMEONE GET ROPE!!
Red: LET GO OF ME!
Blue: *He arm flailed, trying to get away.* W-We're still human you know! This is physically impossible!
Alonsa: TRY KISSING AND SEE IF YOUR SOULS COMBINE!
Red: ALONSA! *He fell off Ancaladar with Blue, landing in the sand*
Ra: Oooooohh
Blue: *He fell on top of Red, twitching.* Guh....
Ven: Alonsa, that's going a bit far..
Melody: *She watched them, staring worriedly. She jumped off of Ancaladar as he still ran, landing onto the sand. Her eyes widened, feeling the softness against her bare feet.*
Alonsa: *She rolled her eyes* Oh come on... Whatever. I'm going for a swim. *She jumped down, running off*
Ion: *He smiled faintly, sliding off Ancaladar as he raised his hand over his eyes*
Ancaladar: *He stopped, laying in the sand as he lowered his head.*
Melody: *She knelt down into the sand, scooping some in her hands as she stared at it curiously.*
Shunsui: *He landed, looking down at her as he raised his hand over his hat, blocking out the sun* There's no sand in the Soul Society, so this is a first for me as well.
Ukitake: *He looked down* I held a beach contest in the world of the living a long time ago, myself.
Red: *He walked past them, glaring away as he looked around* I'm going to cut some stuff down because I feel like it.
Blue: *He looked over at Red, blinking* I... think I should go with you.. That doesn't sound safe. *He followed after Red.*
Green: *He looked down* I'm... not sure what I should be doing.
Ukitake: Why not play in the sand? Ra can go with you.
Ra: *He giggled, taking his wrist and walking as he pointed at the waves gasping*
Melody: *She got up, looking to the water. Her eyes stared out in slight awe. She began to walk towards it.*
Alonsa: *She dove deeper, admiring all the things on the ocean floor. She kicked herself back up to the surface*
Ven: *He sat against Ancaladar, laying his head against his side as he closed his eyes, relaxing.*
Tiercel: *He sighed.* I might cast a speed spell on Ancaladar.. but it'll have a price to it.
Ion: *He looked over to him* That won't be necessary, I can do it for you.
Tiercel: N-No... I'm doing it... Ancaladar is my bonded. *He looked to him*
Ion: *His eyes narrowed as he faintly smiled* ...I see.
Ukitake: *He went to the water, the waves rushing up against his feet as he laughed and waved to Ion* Fon Master, why not relax here on the shores and let the waves sooth your spirits?
Ion: *He turned to him, tilting his head as he smiled, walking over*
Zelda: *She stood beside Shunsui as she hugged his arm., smiling faintly*
Ven: *He sighed and stood up.* Alright.. I'm going to find the two Link's. I get the feeling they won't get firewood for us. *He walked off*
