Chapter 2:
Sheena sighed as she flew over the not-so-ruined Ozette. The last time she
flew on a rheiard was when she traveled to save the two worlds. It was strange
to fly over this new land though, she knew where everything was but seeing the
Triet desert near the town of Meltokio was strange. She knew they were trying to
make the town more inhabitable now, since there was more room and plenty of
water supply by a nearby oasis.
Anyway, though, she was enjoying her flight because the wind
flew gently across her dark black hair. She was pleased with this feeling; it
gave her a feeling of peace and calmness within herself. The voice came to
interrupt this serene moment as it said, “Ah. Seems like you’re finally
listening to me.” Sheena got a feeling of anxiety. Was she really going
schizophrenic? Who was this voice. The voice ignored her thoughts and said,
“Well, I won’t stop, not until you fell the pain I suffered.” This surprised
Sheena so much she did a tight swerve to left by accident. It was kind of a
good/bad fortune, she could now see Lloyd’s house, but she was still nervous.
She tried to calm herself as she landed, and she began
thinking of thoughts other than the voice. She remembered a romance novel she
bought while traveling with Genis and Raine, and remembered how sad it was. She
wished she could have a love like that. Zelos appeared in her thoughts. “Why
does HE appear?!?” Sheena thought as she went to the door. This left her a very
strange look on her face, and it still showed as Colette opened the door.
“Sheena!” she yelled out loud, “It’s been so long. Are you
…. constipated?”
Sheena laughed and thought, “Same old Colette” She then said, “No, just
thinking of something.”
“Oh, well it must have been really strange!” Colette smiled.
Sheena rolled her eyes and replied,” So how’s Lloyd? Have you made a move on him
yet?”
Colette turned a crimson color and said, “No, he doesn’t talk to me much. It’s
because of Kratos; he’s made plans to stay here and Lloyd is happy, but he
doesn’t know how to deal with his real father showing up and getting involved
with his life… it’s really hard for him.”
“Ohh…” Sheena looked down, “I’m kind of ashamed to ask this, but he can still
transport people to Derris-Kharla-”
She was cut off by Kratos, who had been eavesdropping for the last few
sentences, “Why would you need to go to a hellish place?”
“Well…” Sheena answered,” A voice is telling me to.”
Colette got a worried look as Sheena continued, “And no, I’m not crazy, I just
need to go.”
Kratos said to her, “You will need a companion. I can’t go now, all the angels
have been destroyed, and Lloyd needs me.”
“Yeah,” Colette cut in, “Everybody’s busy. Genis and Raine are on their quest.
Regal and Presea are helping rebuild Ozette. Lloyd is having problems, and I
have to help him… so really your only choice is….”
“HIM?!?!” she yelled,” of all people why that idiot!?!”
“Sheena, he’s not that bad…” Collette gave her award winning smile. Nobody could
reject that.
“Fine, I’ll go to Meltokio, but it’s late out.”
“Stay with us!!” Colette suggested enthusiastically.
Sheena turned to Kratos, “That is okay, right?”
Kratos replied with a, “You should be asking Dirk.”
Dirk came up when his name was mentioned and so Sheena asked him. Dirk said it
was more than okay, and he was honored to have guests in his home.
Sheena went in, following Colette, Dirk, and Kratos in. She asked Kratos, ”So if
I ask him, you’ll let me go?” Kratos nodded. And said, ”Yes. Now get some
sleep.” Sheena obeyed and laid on the newly built couch Dirk had made.
Surprisingly, the voice did not annoy her and she fell asleep.
