Chapter 1 - Crimea
Both races of Laguz and Beorc walked amongst the streets talking to each other as others read the news and purchased things. A few looked to her with a stare then smiled and went their way. As happy as it seemed, there were still a small glare from nobles who passed the Laguz and others. Along with a smirk from them as they looked to the girl and laughed walking by. She looked around, but shrugged, though she couldn't help but frown a bit seeing the nobles smirk. A small blue haired boy was outside the shop at the end of the street, looking around as if he was waiting for someone. He had a calm look but his hands were still shaking.
She continued down farther, beginning to near the end of the street, as she still glanced around a bit. Shrugging to slide her bag's strap over her shoulder, so it would rest easier on her hip, she noticed a boy near one of the shops. A noble woman walked out of the shop with a smile on her face and down the street. The boy hid in the corners of the street shivering but calmly waiting as she passed him. He lunged out and grabbed her bag then rushed down the street looking back as the woman yelled in shock. "Help! That urchin has stolen my bag! Help me! Help!"
She watched the boy as he hid, and then grab the woman's bag, rushing down the street. She frowned slightly, but ran after him, trying to chase him. He looked back and gasped seeing her, and a few soldiers rushing after him. He growled jumping high up on a rooftop and hopped across them. The men growled and looked to him. "Huh? No way a human can do that.. He must be a damned Laguz!"
She kept chasing after him, running through an alleyway, as she tried to keep sight of him, but was surprised he'd jumped so high. He blinked looking to her as the soldiers moved losing track of where he was. But, he slipped on an edge and started to fall down into an alley crashing into a bunch of tattered leather patches. He blinked and got up rubbing his back in pain then gasped noticing the alleyway was a dead end. She looked to him, stopping when she realized the alley was a dead end, and also seeing him fall down. "Are you alright?"
He growled and pulled back bending down and crawling on all fours like an animal. "Get away! Don't you know what I am? I'm a Branded.. You'll regret chasing me get lost human! Rrrrar!" He slowly backed up holding the bag in his hand.
The soldiers finally caught up and looked to him blocking the pathway out. "You there! Return what you have stolen and submit easily! We won't hurt you but you will be punished by rights equally!"
He smiled and moved forward right in her face. Then, he sniffed her and blinked. "Hmm? you smell like Dew flowers.."
Her eyes widened slightly as he moved forward right in her face and sniffed her. "What are Dew flowers?" She tilted her head a bit, looking right at him from beneath her long, dark brown bangs.
He blushed and pulled back then rushed up the wall at full speed and hopped on the top, panting. "Mm.. hah.. you, who are you..?"
He looked over to the soldiers as they blinked and growled. "Hey stop!" He shrugged and hopped over the other side of the wall disappearing.
She blinked a couple times as he pulled back, and rushed up at the wall, hopping onto the top. "I wonder how he does that.." She watched him hop over the the other side of the wall, and turned to look back at the soldiers.
They blinked, confused. "Did he say he was a branded?.. but how can they do that? Hmm.. I thought branded didn't have powers like that.. but he didn't even have any Laguz looks either.. Well, anyhow.. hmm? Hey, you!"
She looked to the soldier who'd spoken, and rested her hands behind the back of her head, cupping them together. "Hmm? Yes?"
He looked to her confused, raising his brow. "What's your involvement in this? You know that kid? And where's your parents? Why don't you go home girl? That guy is dangerous."
She looked to him in puzzlement. "I'm not involved in this. I don't know him. And my parents aren't around, so I'm traveling. Why is he dangerous?"
The other soldier looked to his friend and then to her. "Hey.. just forget it. Leave her alone, she's a good girl. Besides we should report to the queen about the branded kid. Thanks for your assistance but please next time you see him, just run. This child has been a menace for quite some time now and there are rumors that he's responsible for many thefts. He's also been known to carry a dagger and cause several people injury."
She cringed at the words ' good girl', lowering her arms back down to her sides. She nodded though, and then shrugged. "I'll try to be careful. Um.. I think I'm just going to go now.. " She laughed softly, and moved to walk around them to try to go.
They moved to the side letting her pass and looked to the other talking. "Its happening more and more.. these mysterious travelers, the branded running around, and now the war in Begnion between that unknown clan in the desert. The world's changing isn't it?" His friend shrugged and they walked off behind her down a different didn't notice that above them the child looked down spying on the girl with the bag in his mouth.
She bowed to them, then walked off in a different direction from the one she'd been going, headed further through the town, and trying to get away from the soldiers. Nothing against them, soldiers just made her nervous. She ran her fingers through her hair, fluffing it slightly, despite it doing nothing but flick her back over her shoulders. She started to hum a little tune as she walked, people watching again.
The same noble woman looked to the girl and hissed. "You ignorant child! Did you get my bag? Hmm?"
She looked to the noblewoman, and shied a bit at the hiss. "N - No, ma'am.."
She growled and looked to her. "Then give me that bag and everything you have you filthy girl! That's a fair trade or maybe I should have you enslaved as my servant girl? Aha-ha-ha!"
She stared at the woman in surprise. "No way am I giving you my bag! It's not fair trade at all when it's not my fault you got your own stolen! I'd never work for someone as rude and snobby as you, so neh!" She stuck out her tongue childishly, and turned to start to walk away.
The woman grabbed her hand. "You disrepectful little vagabond! How dare you! I'll teach you some lessons you're coming with me to work off all that you owe me! I'll make sure to work you hard!"
She turned to look up at the woman. "Let go of me! I don't owe you anything, and you're so rude! At least I tried to chase after him, unlike you, you ungrateful lazy old woman!" She tried to pull her hand away.
The boy dropped down in the middle of them and looked to the woman growling. "Back off!.. go away you! You want it then take it.. It's filled with smelly perfume and rich people candy anyhow! Disgusting taste." He tossed the bag at her feet.
She stared at the boy in surprise that he'd dropped down like that, and even returned the woman's bag to her. "You again?"
The woman shrieked and yelled picking up her bag and running away as people looked over to him. He growled, looking to them, then jumped on the roof and looked down to her. "...There's a small rock formation outside of town.. if you want to survive go there.. see ya." He started to make his way toward the other roof getting one last look at her then hopped across the roofs. She stared up at the boy, and watched for a while, as he hopped across the roofs. She had to wonder why he'd said what he did, but she shrugged, and headed out of town quickly. She didn't want to have a chance of running into that mean spirited woman again anyway. Besides, she did want to survive, and how hard could a rock formation be to find?
Near the edge of town a small rock formation was down a pathway. Its shape seemed to look like a bird perching on the rocks. She hummed softly, making her way slowly down the path. There were a few soldiers slowly following her but hiding away as she looked. Still, their footsteps could be heard. She turned her head, hearing the footsteps to look back over her shoulder. Still, she kept going until she was at the rock formation. Behind the formation a small light blue flower blossomed. in the middle of it was a bright yellow seed. The boy from before looked to it sitting down as he stared at it. "So beautiful."
She glanced around, stopping at the rock, and called softly. "Hello?"
He looked to her smiling and pointed to the flower. "See that seed in the middle? It's called a angel's seed. They say it makes two Dew flowers when its planted. But it has to be just ripe enough or it won't blossom. It's a picky plant.. he-he."
She smiled, as she looked to where he pointed, seeing the flower. "It's really pretty. Is that flower a Dew flower like what you mentioned before?"
He smiled and nodded. "Its real name is called the Nihara plant. That's also my name."
She nodded slowly, but smiled as well. "So your name is Nihara? Mine is Ceri."
He blinked and looked to her. "Cherry? You don't look like a cherry, your a human. Oh is it your hungry? I have some cherries and fruit."
She laughed softly. "No, no! I know it's pronounced like that, but it's C-e-r-i. And, yes, I'm human."
He blinked and smiled. "Wow, that's an interesting name.. still, well, hmm.. " He scratched his head. His mark was shown on the left side of his face. It had a weird shape.
She shrugged, with a bit of a subdued giggle. "Still well, what? " She blinked, looking at the mark. "Um.. why did you say to come here if I want to survive?"
He smiled and pulled a bag of fruits and money from the side of the formation and looked to her. "..'Cuz, I have all this, and well, I mean, I don't want it and you should have it. I know how hard it is for people, so I am their robin hood!" He smiled patting his chest.
She blinked, looking at the bag of fruits and money. "W - Wow.. but didn't robin hood steal? I mean... erm.. I wouldn't feel right to take something I didn't earn." She rubbed the back of her neck.
He closed his eyes and sighed. "I stole from the rich though! They didn't earn it either. I saw them taking money from people. They do it every time they go into shops! But no one believes me! so I get their money back. Why is it wrong to steal from those fat nobles?"
She sighed, placing her hand on her hip, and waved her finger at him. "Because it's wrong to steal, whether from a rich person or anyone! If they keep taking money, their bound to be found out. I do believe you, it's just stealing will get you in trouble!"
He grumbled. "You sound just like those children with their mothers on the streets walking by! So what if its wrong! They take from everyone, even the people who earned their money! I even saw them bribing soldiers! Besides their not gonna miss the money, they have mountains of it and what's wrong with sharing?"
She frowned. "Would you rather put a stop to it, or just be a called a trouble maker where no one will listen to you when you can prove that their doing that? Doing something wrong to fix what others do wrong, just creates an even bigger problem, and it'll only turn into a disaster!"
He blinked and looked to her. "You... " A voice came from behind the rock formation as his arms were tied down and he was pulled against the rock without warning. "Ahhh! What?"
The soldiers smirked and looked to him. "We got him!"
She flinched in surprise at the soldiers showing up. "H - Huh? I knew I heard footsteps!"
He growled as the ropes tightened around his arms and legs and more soldiers came tying him up. One man looked to him. "Excellent work girl, you lead us right to him."
He blinked and gasped. "What? Did you.."
She stared at soldiers, with an opened mouth in surprise. "You followed me? Don't act like I came here to help you! Bunch of creepers!"
He laughed. "You noticed us, didn't you? You could have lead us the wrong way, but you didn't. Ha-ha, you'll be rewarded though you've caught a class 3 criminal, so its fine!"
She frowned. "How was I supposed to know who was there? And you would have just kept following me if I went a different way! And it's not fine! Can't he just give the bag back, and you let him go?"
He laughed loudly. "What kind of a fool do you take me for? Don't be stupid. This boy is a criminal. He's injured several people with the blade he carries in his pocket, and stolen many things from nobles. Nobles who would pay greatly to see him in pain. Ha-ha-ha. Now then." He tossed a bag at her feet full of gold coins. "That's a hundred coins for you now get lost and let the real hunters do this job."
Nihara growled trying to break free of the rope. "I can't.. grr you are so.. you call this justice?.. You are selling me out for cash.. grrr!"
She frowned, picking up the bag, and hurled it back at the soldier's face. "Are you a soldier or a servant? Keep your stupid coins! Even if he's a criminal, at he's better then you'll ever be!" She hurried to try to go over to Nihara, and get him free.
He growled and called more troops. They grabbed her arms, and pulled her away from him."That's enough of that! You are under arrest for interfering with us and shall be detained in the nearest cell. I hope you rot in it, you stupid street rat!"
She laughed softly, but struggled at the ones who grabbed her arms. "Better a stupid street rat who does what she believes, then a some stupid worthless soldier who doesn't even believe in following the law!" She taunted, and tried to kick at the soldiers. "Let go!"
The soldier groaned as she kicked his knee and growled pulling out a sword. "Your gonna pay for that! lets skip the courts and kill her already!"
A white horse started up from the path as a man in green armor rode up beside them. "What's going on here? What's all this commotion?"
She tried to back away from the soldier, with slightly wide eyes as she looked up at the man in green armor. "The soldiers tried to bribe me with money so they can take the boy to the nobles who want to hurt him. Their just mad and want to kill me, because I called them stupid worthless soldiers who don't follow the law, and because I kicked him too. They even followed me here! If you need proof, the coin bag is at the soldier's feet, 'cause I threw it at him."
He looked to the bag then to the soldiers and to Nihara. "Troops of Count Noran, aren't you? So, you apparently still serve him even though Queen Elencia's Noble army ban is in effect? You're all guilty of crimes."
They gasped and blinked. "What.. wait, you're! General Geoffrey of the Royal Knights? Damn it! What a bad time to get a good score.."
Nihara blinked. "What? You mean the one who was involved in the Goddess war? You mean a savior of the world and the guy who put down the nobles' rebellion ...?"
She stared at Nihara, and then at the man on the horse. "Eh? What, really?"
He pointed his spear to the soldiers. "All of you will be escorted to the palace and be sentenced by the queen herself. Understand any resistance will not be tolerated." He whistled as soldiers riding on horseback came and surrounded them.
Nihara sighed. "Stop.. I'll go. Just let her go, she hasn't done anything wrong."
She looked to Nihara. "What about you though! You can't just be lumped together with those soldiers, that's not right at all!"
Geoffrey smiled and looked to her. "Do not worry. He will be on fair trial as well. The nobles can bribe the soldiers but not the handpicked court officials of the queen. You have my assurance."
She put her hands on her hips, and stared straight up at him with a raised brow. "He better be on a fair trial, especially if it's some queen! But you assuring me, no offense intended, is not going to make much difference. I'll worry if I want to."
He smiled. "You question my honesty? Well, why don't you come with us anyhow? You'll be treated as a guest besides the Queen is always happy to see her people."
She shrugged, lowering her hands from her hips. "I don't question your honesty, I question you and the queen as people, because frankly, you're both strangers, so wouldn't that be fair to be wary?"
He smiled and set his spear down then picked her up and placed her on his horse. "Then there's no more to be said here is there? Come, let's go to the castle."
She gave a soft squeak of surprise at being picked up, and placed on his horse. She gave a mock-glare at him, but smiled to mean it to be friendly. "Well, I suppose not, and alright." She looked to Nihara though. Geoffrey called to his men as they nodded and untied him and placed him on one of their horses and began to trot while the noble's soldiers walked behind them. She blinked, looking back at Geoffrey as he had , had him untied and placed on a horse. She smiled a little though.
Nihara growled."Ugh.. why me of all the times.. and with HIM no less.." He muttered.
She blinked, and wondered what he'd meant. "Him, who?"
