A trip to Flanoir

[Michael]

Home....

[/b]

That word that was one word Michael no longer had a home.Recently Michael had just been banished from his home in Heimdall and why all because of the d**n discrimination going on with half elf's and the elf's in the village of Heimdall wanted nothing.Before he left he left Michael's father gave him a sword and told him to use it well he had also a few spells at his disposal due to the fact he was a half elf and had half human half blood veins running in him.Recently Michael had just crossed over the grand tethealla bridge and over some near by mountains but when he got off the mountains the weather changed drastically as Michael began to shiver.

"Gese lewise was a Celsius's tear cast over this place or something its as cold cold as the inside of a freezer for god sake" wrapping himself hypothetical speaking around with his arms Michael knew he had to find a town and fast or he would nearly freeze to death.and Michael was not planing on dieing any time soon especially right after he was banished from Heimdall. No way in hell was he going to die right after that he did think the world would be better if he wasn't around. But than realized how sad his parents would be if he was gone from this world and didn't want that to happen Michael turned his attention to a near by town in the middle of the area Michael was gonna question why they would make a town in the middle of a blizzard but he didn't bother he started to head to wards the town keeping himself semi warm so as not to get a frost bite.

as Michael Entered the town there was No sign of this snow stopping he sighed he wondered how long he would be stuck in this town he leaned up against a near by tree and pulled out his locket and looked at the only picture he had left of his brother."bro....Mark my words i will avenge you i don't know who killed you but when i find the bastards who did this to you i am going to make them pay" Michael sighed and than put the locket away and just stood there for a bit knowing that he had a long Quest to avenge his brother ahead of him a long one indeed.

[Alicia Valka]

Alicia couldn't take it anymore! This was boring! She had been laying in her bed, with insomnia (Or so she thought. She didn't yet realize that angels couldn't actually sleep.) and then realized that she didn't even want to sleep. She was bored! Besides, after the little... Situation with Angie earlier, she realized that she was still frustrated and angry.

Alicia decided that she should go outside and see if she could find some monsters to kill. Believe it or not, she did actually like fighting. A lot. She didn't pick unnecessary fights with people, but monsters were another story when she got bored. Alicia noticed a black cloak that was on the floor for whatever reason (Probably Angie's, but Alicia didn't really care.) Alicia picked it up and put it on, folding her wings behind her, and hiding them under it.

Alicia didn't want people to see her wings in the off chance she would run into someone. On a whim, she also put the hood over her head, and noticed something interesting in a nearby mirror. The cloak seemed to have an effect on the light in such a way that while she wore the hood, her hair looked pale white rather than its normal vibrant gold. In addition, her skin looked paler as well, and her eyes also looked pale violet, rather than blue. Strange. Not like it much mattered she supposed.

Alicia started trying to find her way toward the exit of the base to head outside. Fortunately, no one seemed to pay much attention to her. She eventually found her way out, only to discover... She was on an island. A frozen island. In the distance, she saw a much larger landmass... Or was it an icemass? There might be some actual ground somewhere there.

Alicia decided to go on and fly over to the larger area. She didn't see any monsters on this little island anyway.


Some time later...

Alicia pulled her sword out of the creature she had been fighting. That was... Odd. Was it even a monster? It had looked strangely like a human in some sort of strange bird suit... Well, regardless, it had picked a fight with her, so had died. Alicia thrust her sword into the snow, cleaning the blood off of it. She watched as the snow around her slowly turned crimson.

Alicia realized that she was tired. The monsters around here were tougher than they looked... Not like that said much, considering what some of them looked like. Regardless, she should probably rest a bit... She didn't want to go back to the base just yet. There was the vague outline of some buildings in the distance... Alicia decided to head there.

Once in town, Alicia looked around. It was actually quite beautiful. As the snow fell, it covered everything in a beautiful blanket of white. All the buildings had snow on their roofs, the streets had spots of snow as well, and the ground off of the streets was... Completely covered by the snow.

Alicia noticed a swordsman in a leather outfit off to the side. He was holding a locket, and looking at it. She heard him saying something... Avenging his brother? It didn't involve Alicia though. Alicia was about to head to the inn, when she felt something bump into her. She was knocked to the ground. Alicia looked up, and saw someone standing there, looking slightly disoriented himself. Alicia yelled at the man, "Hey! Watch where you're going!" The man said in an apologetic tone, "Er, I'm sorry miss. I was distracted, not watching where I was going..." Then, his eyes widened, "You- you have wings?!"

Uh-oh. Alicia realized that the impact had knocked her cloak off. She silently cursed under her breath, and quickly put it back on as she got off of the ground. The damage had been done however, several different people were now staring at her. Maybe she should head back to the base after all, before she caused any more problems...

[Michael]

"Hey! Watch where you're going!"

The Second Michael heard this His Eyes opened up slightly to see a girl had just fallen down after being run into by someone Michael sighed."Now that wasn't nice" Michael thought to himself as he got up off the tree and was about to head into the inn when suddenly the man who ran into her said something."You- you have wings?!" Now Michael didn't know much but what he had learned is that Only the chosen one of Tethe'Alla could have wings to begin with."But wait isn't the chosen one of Tethe'Alla living in the Royal city of Meltokio?" now this didn't make a bit of sense to Michael why was the chosen one here of all places he didn't even know where here was but still

Suddenly the man started taking off and tryed to pass by Michael but Michael grabbed him by the shirt lightly but as quick as a cheetah when striking its prey."I think you owe The chosen one an Apology sir".the Man was really mad now he had just been caught by a Half-elf and that didn't sit well with him."Dah What do you know you stupid half-elf?!" The man asked Michael just ignored that and pulled out his sword "I said I think you owe the chosen one an apology good sir!" Michael said with a little anger in his voice after that half-elf comment. "Y Y Yes s s sorry C C Chosen O One" Michael released the man and put the sword back into his pocket where he kept it "You may go now" Michael said as the man took off as quick as possible as Michael walked over.

"Sorry about that chosen one i don't let that go easily"Michael said putting his locket back into shirt and waiting to see if the chosen one had anything to say if not he would head into the inn like nothing happened.

[Alicia Valka]

Alicia resisted the urge to run after that other man and thrust her sword through him. Though she was... Formerly human herself, she hated discrimination. Immensely.

Instead of slaughtering that other man who had ran off (which would draw even more unneeded attention to her) Alicia turned toward the one that was still there, and said, "The only thing I was chosen for was to be tortured for a thousand years..." She then buried her face in her palm. That probably had not been a good thing to say... Either it would give the man more questions, or he would think her insane.

[Michael]

"The only thing I was chosen for was to be tortured for a thousand years..."

[/color]

Now this caught Michael by Surprise among other things.Tortured? wasn't the chosen of mana supposed to be like praised.tortured was something he didn't expect to be happening to the chosen of mana at all let alone for wait 1000 years?! now thats along to be living even for an elf or a half elf something was definitely up. But Michael didn't want to ask but really had little choice so he took a deep breath before responding.

"Wait so you don't like beining Tethe'Alla's Chosen of mana?"

[/color] this was very strange normally people who where given the title chosen couldn't wait to regenerate the world and bring peace to it but that wasn't the case here something was definitely up

[Alicia Valka]

"Wait, so you don't like being Tethe'alla's Chosen of Mana?" How stupid was this man? Alicia looked at him, slightly annoyed. "What are you talking about? As I said, I'm no Chosen. Just leave me alone." Perhaps coming to town had been a bad idea to begin with. Maybe she should just head back.

Alicia thought about just flying back to the base. Just take off the the cloak, spread her wings, and fly away. It would be so... Impossible. She didn't have enough energy to fly that far. Even as an angel, she couldn't just go on forever. That's why the crimson spot in the snow, still visible in the distance, wasn't even larger. Alicia still had a small cut on her cheek, from when she'd slipped up against that last monster.

Alicia sighed, and turned to the man, asking, "Do you know where the inn is? I need to rest for a bit."

[Michael]

Michael nodded and took her in to the in near by seeing how she looke exhausted beyond belief. he was tired himself and needed a place to stay he than went up to the in keeper.Michael had a feeling this would end up with just another show of Tethe'Alla's discrimination against half-elfs with Michael was not really looking forward to another one he sighed and spoke anyways.

"Excuse me sir can i get two separate rooms i,l pay for them both" Michael asked the in keeper. the Man looked up and saw Michael and shook his head."Sorry sir we don't server half-elfs here now will you kindly leave your dirtying up my in" Michael felt his fists tighten at this and tryed to keep his anger contained.

[Alicia Valka]

Alicia said to the man "Thank you." as he took her to the inn. Once they were there, Alicia noticed that the mat at the door was somewhat worn. Instead of saying "Welcome" it only said "come" Well, she supposed that was better than if it had said "Leave."

Once they were inside, Alicia looked around. It seemed like a nice little place. There was a fireplace in the corner, with several little stockings hung above it. All the other decorations were ridiculously cutesy as well. Alicia then heard the man at the front desk speak. While the other man simply clenched his fists, Alicia was not in a mood to put up with any more creeps like this.

Alicia drew her sword in a flash, and put it up to the man's throat, "Listen here," she said coldly, "I am sick of stupid bigots like you. Either get over yourself and give us rooms, or find yourself in an incredibly unpleasant situation." Alicia wouldn't kill him. She had more restraint than that. However, the look in her eyes told the man that it would be a very bad idea to do anything other than take her seriously, and his eyes widened in fear.

[Michael]

Michael eyes widdened seeind this girl nearly lanch at the man as if she wanted to kill him Michael played a message in his mind."Note to self dont piss this girl off to keep my life" The Inn keepers face told the whole story he was scared out of wits end."OK OK Your room is room#112 just please put the sword down."

Michael chuckled in his head some half elfs had made humans scared out of there minds before but nothing like thing as the two enered the room Michael sat down on the 2nd bed in the room and clenched the locket of his brother he just couldnt belive he was gone he would fine the killer if it was the verry last thing he did.

[Alicia Valka]

Alicia smirked as she heard the man give in. "Now was that so hard?" she asked in a sweet, mocking voice, "That's all you needed to say. Thanks."then she started heading to the room she had been told to.

Alicia lay awake for some time. How could she still have insomnia?! She did feel like her energy came back as she just lay there, but she just... She wanted to sleep was all. Just disconnect from reality for an hour or two. Was that too much to ask?

Eventually, Alicia sighed and got up. She'd been laying there for about four hours, just thinking, before becoming bored out of her mind. Actually, she felt like she had her energy back, despite having not slept. She didn't want to go back to the base just yet, though she knew she should. She walked out onto the balcony attached to the room. It would be so easy to just fly off and fight some more monsters for a while. She was still able to see the spot in the snow where she had killed some monsters. It had almost faded however, and though it was larger, it was now a very light pink, or more like a suggestion of pink, rather than crimson.

However, Alicia didn't want to leave. Or rather, she had a feeling that she shouldn't... She didn't like that innkeeper. Alicia whirled around and looked inside again, toward the door. It sounded like there was someone outside the room! Alicia walked inside, and closer to the door, but then stepped to the side, out from directly in front of it. Her hand was on her sword, ready to draw it in an instant.
