Enjoying a sunny day upon Dae shore, with an intriguing scroll about Philosophy and a finely aged Rice wine, Febee hears a tapping sound. She stand up to investigate, her golden locks falling from the bun she had her hair in. Staring into the water with her hazel eyes, she saw a bottle tapping on the craggy shoreline. Setting down her book and wine, she walks over to the bottle, ready to scold the owner for littering on the beach, she picks it up and sees a piece of parchment inside. Non-shalantly she smashes the bottle with her dagger and picks up the note and begins to read aloud: "To whomever gets this bottle, I have been captured." she read with a slight gasp. "The pirates have taken me hostage upon their leaving. Please help!" Febee then pockets the note, corks her wine and rolls up the scroll, cursing the pirates, and summons her panther, Philovander, to takeh er back into town. There she seeks out the mans family. She arrives at a house with a wicker fence and a yin-yang on the front door. "He wasd a follower of Balance." She whispered softly to herself. She then pursues to knock on the door and sure enough, a young woman answers the door. "Where is he? Where is Bruno?" His wife cried out when she saw my face. "Please say you have information on my husband!" "Ma'am, I am going to do the best I can to ensure your husband gets home safely." She assurews the woman. So Febee and the woman sat down and talked. She found out that the womans name is Gretal. Bruno and Gretal. What a lovely couple. So Febee bids her farewell and calls upon her husband, Rikoda. He appears at her side. "I already know why we're here." He said, kissing her on the cheek. "Let's do this!" Febee and Rikoda head to the shores and see a fisherman heading out to sea. They ask permission to hitch a ride to the Island of Ilbon. He reluctantly agrees. Upon arriving NEAR the shore of Ilbon Island, Febee and Rikoda jump in a boat and row themselvs the rest of the way to shore. They step on shore and are instantly troubled by what they see. A man tied to a tree, barely alive. Febee throws her knife and he slumps to the ground. Rikoda begins healing his injuries. Febee whirls about, sniffing the air, and suddenly falls into a deep sleep. * * * Upon awakening Febee notices Rikoda, Bruno and herself have been captured. "Let us go, you filthy scoundrel!" Febee screams with great rage. "Never, i need my revenge." The mage, Orkut, replied. "See here, this young man has stolnen somethign very dear to me. He has taken the love of Gretal from me. He will pay." "Gretal has NEVER loved you." Bruno cried out in exasperation. "It was the dark magic that you cast on her that made it seem liek she loved you!" "Once again, HOLD YOUR TOUNG!" Orkut shouted. "As long as I live Gretal WILL love me!" At that moment Febee tried to escape when suddenly she felt an invisible hand on her ankle. Looking down, Gretal appeared. Having quickly studied the way of the Rogues, she snuck onto a ship, sailed to Ilbon Island and got in Orkuts defences. "Orkut, I am here to save Bruno." Greetal said. With that she became invisible and an earsplitting roar erupted from where she stood, and Baekho had blessed her. Charging Orkut with her Blood, she slashed a Lethal strike, "Ka~~!" just as Orkut had summoned the Fires of Hell. As one, the bodies of Orkut and Gretal slumped to the floor, motionless. The three of us fall from our bonds and rush to Gretals side. "Gretal what were you thinking!" Bruno cried, over his dying wife. "What about our Love?" "Out love can transcend beyond any plain of exsistance. I will be with you always, my one true love." She said softly kissing his cheek, as her life force fades, Rikoda reads an ancient Hymn for her to reach rebirth. "I'm terribly sorry Bruno." Febee said, as they sailed into the sunset. | |
