I don't know anymore... Since arriving in Windia, the only good thing that had happened to me was that I had met Kate.
As I left the cathedral, I skimmed the clues I had written down in my notebook.
Let me see here.... A girl that you care for deeply... I already know who that is... Kate....
What else... "One like me???" Who's that?
Katt: Maybe... One of your classmates?
I doubt it, Katt. How would he or she get to Windia if they could???
Katt: I dunno... maybe you're right.
"A girl who looks at the world in a hateful way???" Huh?
Nina: I'm sorry, Frank. I wouldn't know...
More questions... wonderful... "The Blue Winged Angel who sent you here???" Huh?
So she is real... Where to start, though...
Ryu: Why not at the begining? You know one, so... With luck...
I can find the others... Okay, Ryu.
So I left the cathedral, and headed over to the plate that takes citizens to and from Agua. I activated it, and I was rushed back to Central Windia. I didn't scream in surprise, but I yelped in pain when I landed on my wallet again.
Nice landing... Ow...
Katt: I thought it was funny...
Be quiet.
Well, I had to start at the begining, right? So I made my way to the park that I was transported to from Lunarvale... I miss home, but I know that if I went back... well... It was this feeling I had that something bad happened.
As I walked, I noticed that high school again. I don't know why, but it always seems to grab my attention when I'm in the area.
I needed time to think. I walked around the park, and finally found a bench that looked comfortable to sit on. If I was right about the way I was feeling...
I sat down, and took in the sights. This park reminded me of the ones back home... Though there was no Augustus Tree to lounge under.
Well... Let me see here...
I pulled my notebook out, and skimmed my clues again.
Let me see... I know about Kate... but what about the others? Hmm...
As I skimmed, lack of sleep from the last two nights finally caught up with me, and I dozed off on the bench.
***********************************************************************
Whoa... where... where am I? Huh? St. Hermelin?
No... wait... this school is much different. What is this?
I explored the school, not knowing where anything was. That's when I saw...
Kate??? She's here? Where... where is this?! Now I know this isn't St. Hermelin! And... That's me! Beside her! What's going on? Huh?!
The scene flashed again, and I saw me running down the halls. From what, I don't know. And then...
************************************************************************
I had a good nap. Actually, it was quite refreshing not to have a weird dream for once. What woke me up was the sound of a fight close by.
What... Better go look...
I packed my notebook, and unslung my shotgun, before rushing to the scene. I saw four thugs fighting from what I could tell was a Windian, and a human.
Why... why do they look... familiar???
I had to stop this before anyone got hurt. So I raised my gun, and fired a round into the sky, getting the attention of all the combatants.
"What..." One of the thugs said.
"Another one?" The second said.
"He's got a firearm!" The third said.
They... know what guns are? Oh yeah...
"I've got a twelve-gauge shotgun, pump action to be exact!" I puntctuated the end of my sentence by pumping the gun, and sending the spent casing in their direction.
"Um... shotguns... SPREAD when fired!" Number four said before taking off.
"Huh?! NO!!!" The other three said before following their comrade.
Who... who were they attacking? And... why?
I approached the two carefully, keeping my shotgun ready just in case. That's when I saw him.
"Frank??? FRANK! It is you!!! Oh my God... " Nate yelled before running toward me.
"Nate??? NATE! How'd you..." I slung my shotgun, and greeted Nate. How'd he get from Lunarvale to Windia?
"Don't ask, Frank. Long story." Nate said as he shook my hand.
Nate and I talked about various little things, before he introduced me to his traveling companion.
"Frank... There's someone who wanted to talk to you."
"Oh? Who?"
Then she walked out. The same girl who brought me here. The same blue winged Windian who haunted my dreams. I swear, I think I felt my mouth drop, and I had to force myself to shut it.
