Leona Chapter 2
"A Place Never Seen Before"
(River Town)


Find that jewel, young woman, fulfill your wonderful dream and head for a place never seen before, an hidden spot.

" Where I must go?"

Away.

When you'll reach the sun and the horizon, you'll know. You'll be there.

Between paradise and hell, black and white, angels and demons, forests and deserts...

Find what you are searching, but be careful! Our world is full of enemies.


After the contest I had 12.000 potch ( A pot of money for me!! ).

I was going to spend a part of that amount of money to pay the inn and buy something like runes and medicines: I had to leave River town as soon as possible.

I went to Sara's house.

" Excuse me, Sara is here, right?"

" Yes, what's your name?"

" Oh, I'm Leona, nice to meet you!" In front of me: Sara's sister, Helen.

" Hi Leona; Sara speaked a lot about you, please do help yourself!"

" Thank you very much."

Sara's house was pretty nice: a lot of paintings, flowers on the windowsill, and shiny floors.

" How sweet!" I thought.

" Good morning Leona! Why are you here in the early morning?"

" Because I'm gonna leave this town."

" WHAAT?! Are you joking?"

" No, I must go to....to...."

" To...WHERE??!!"

" Well, this is a secret. Promise me you won't tell it to anyone, OKKAY?"

" You can be sure!"

" I'm gonna leave River town to reach a place...."

" What kind of place?"

" I don't know precisely; the only thing I really know is his location: far, far away. A place never seen before. Can you help me to find it?"

" You sholud try in the continent of Tinto: it's distant from here, moreover a lot of people mantain there are many secrets spots in the desert."

" I really don't like deserts....but....if it's necessary..."

Suddenly arrived Helen.

" Ohhhhhhhh, Leona, I've heard the whole thing! I wanna leave with you! PLEAAASEEEE!!"

" Are you crazy?" shouted Sara "You're only a little girl!"

" I'm a real warrior now!"

....totally filled.....

"....But I know a place distant and never seen before!! If you want, I'll take you there!"

"..mmmmmmm..."

" PLEASEEEE!!"

" If Sara agrees...."

" PLEASE SIS!"

" Okay, okay, but be careful!"


Helen singed a strange song while we were on the way. She saw my travelling bag and said:

" La! La! La! Ohhh, a lot of money, water rune, fire rune and a panting of.."

" Don't touch it!"

Helen got scared.

" So...so...sorry. Why do you..."

" Excuse me, Hel, but this paintng.....After after my house and my pub were burned down by Imperial guards, nothing was left..except of this object. It's very important to me."

Silence.

" There isn't much far to go now, Leona."

She was very sorry then.

While we were walking, some imperial soldiers appears on the horizon making for us.

" Nice girls like you shouldn't wander around these barren moors!"

" Ehi! What do you want from us?" I replied with a very loud voice.

" Go away, understood?" Helen added.

" Shout up, women! We're soldiers of Wolf Army, how dare you?"

" These cheery girls deserve a punishment!!" replied another soldier sniggering.

" Ohhh noooo!! Mummy, HELP ME!" Helen cried.

...childish....

" I'll protect you, don't worry sweetie!" I replied to her.

" Come on Leona! You're the best! Show the you magic power! Full speed!! AYEEE!!"

....rowdy...

" Fire Rune!! Flame Arrows, full power!!"

Flame arrows reached the soldiers provoking a thick blanket of dust and smoke.

" Leona, you're cool!! Even Ruka Bright would be killed by a magic like that!"

" Don't go too far, Hel!"

In fact soldiers were not died an I didn't know how save my and Helen's life.

" Surrender you!"

"...And now?"

" Now I think it's better to follow these soldiers peacefully."

" We give up?"

" ...yes."

I handed my runes over the enemy. I was afraid, afraid because from that moment my destiny would have changed drastically, and my dream wouldn't have fulfilled. I was wondering if the place where Sara's sister wanted to accompany me really existed or it was only the result of her strong fantasy, but in that moment I was in a carriage with a barricat for each window. Helen was here too and she was crying, poor little baby, victim of my own same fate, I wanted to do something something to save at least her innocent life, but...HOW??

" Ahhhhh!!! I wanna return to my home! I want my mummy, my daddy and my sister!!"

" Don't worry honey, we'll find a way to escape from here!"

She didn't say anything.

....sweetie...

....melancholy...

.....and...hopefull...
