"It has been one of those days," she told me. I had to wonder what she meant by that. Was it something I had done? Or perhaps she wanted to be close to me, wanting to be held and loved. So, I decided to pull her in close to my body, to help her feel secured. I started to run my fingers through her hair, gently as possible. "Thank you," she whispered into my ear, as she pulled me in for a kiss. "You're welcome, Ella." Ella and I have grown closer together over the past couple of months, something that we didn't think would happen. Perhaps we needed to be together as a couple, as the feelings between us had gotten stronger and stronger. I asked her to be my girlfriend about 9 weeks ago, in which she wasted no time in telling me yes. "I love you, Rolandes..." I smiled at Ella, "I love you too..."

As myself and my troops came into the northwestern part of the town, we were mightily met with former knights and thieves. "Why must you bother us during this time of peril, Eriella?!" boomed one knight. Ella and I were shocked when he called out. We thought that this would be a peaceful mop up of the area, but we were about to be proven wrong, and soon. "Geez, Franklin," Ella pondered. "Maybe when you WERE a knight of the high courts, you would had shown some respect to me. I guess those 6 years were a complete waste of time then. Hmph..!" As she turned her back on Franklin, he seized the opportunity to jump down from his perch, and drawn his sword, in which he pointed it towards me. "Well, well, well.. Looks like Captain Rolandes has came to your.. Ahem... Rescue, Eriella. Haha. Such pitiful defense for one like you, young lady. Perhaps I should show Rolandes a thing or two about knighthood." I had to jump back from his strong swing, only for him to lunge forward, and catch me off gu

Eriella and I were eating lunch in the lounge area of the Pub, in which Alexissa was coming towards our direction. "Ella!! Rolandes!!" shouted Alexissa. "Mr. Noelhenley wants you to meet up at the Central Square asap!!" Eriella and I looked at each other, wondering of what Mr. Noelhenley wanted from the both of us. "We better go, Rolandes... It's best for not keeping him wait for long... Especially when Alexissa came to us on short notice..." We gathered our things, and followed Alexissa on out the door. We also stopped by the local shop to inform a fellow comrade, Tienly, about what Mr. Noelhenley wanted us to do. "Ahh... Bad timin', all three of ya?" asked Tienly. Alexissa quickly nodded her head. All four of us rushed over to the Central Square, where Mr. Noelhenley was waiting impatiently. "It looks like we have a situation brewing over at the Northwestern Sector, according to our scout, Alexissa. If it's what I think it is, we will be needing to be fully prepared for the worse. Ga

"Why must you ask me?", he asked. It was something that was on the back of my mind for the past few weeks. I felt like I needed to know, but yet, he wasn't willing to answer right away. "You know... You're starting to get on my nerves, Rolandes." I had to giggle slightly at his remark, in which his face turned red. "Haha... I'm sorry for that, Siruies. I didn't mean to get you upset with that question. I thought you had an answer this time around." Rolandes Joahansen is my name, yet again, I didn't particularly care for my last name. My mentor and teacher, Siruies Noelhenley, seems strict to his students, especially the trouble makers, yet he had taken a likely to one such as myself and my best friend, Eriella Remsey, whom I met a few years back. "Mr. Noelhenley! Sorry to pester you, Sire... But, there's a situation brewing off the northwestern sector!", screamed Alexissa. "What?!! Freakin' bastards again!!", yelled Siruies. "Gather your comrades, and meet me over by the Town Square in

Here I am, heading into the future... As I was going through the Historia Crux, I kind of felt something trying to tug on my leg. Of course, my first instinct was to fight off the intruder, however, it seemed too tough to fight at the present time, as time was passing me by at an incredible rate. Before I had the chance to recover and blink, there I was, standing in a new world, by myself, but only for a second, as a young lady, about 23 years old, stood in front of me. "Hi! I am Alyssa, a new recruit of the Academy. You must be Albert, right?" I looked at Alyssa in surprise, thinking of how she knew me, and I just made it into the new world, known as the Bresha Ruins. Obviously, I had to look around, so I calmly excused myself from Alyssa, and walked towards the west. It was raining, in which I haven't felt on my skin in the last 7 years.. Then again, that would be 12 years into the future, 12 years after the fall of Cocoon... The same Cocoon that Fang and Vanille saved...
