Land of Qirja - Vahlde's Story
Episode #02 - Gungee
Written by: CS-Masyet
Man: I am Gungee. I came here to buy food for my family and I need to get back home. Could you escort me back to Dunorg?
Vahlde: Dunorg? Sure, no problem.
Kyte: Dunorg...
Vahlde: What's the matter?
Kyte: It's nothing... It's just that I've never been outside of Riah before...
Vahlde: Are you serious? You never traveled before?
Kyte: No; I just fight monsters...
Vahlde: Jeez...
Kyte: But I'm sure it'll be fine! Let's go!
Vahlde: *sigh* I hope you're right about that...
Kyte/Vahlde: Leave the village with Gungee.
?1: Watching from above. ...
Kyte: So how far is Dunorg?
Vahlde: Since it's the closest village to Riah, it shouldn't take too long. By foot, it should only take an hour or so.
Kyte: An hour?!? That'll take forever!
Vahlde: Yep, you definitely haven't traveled before...
Gungee: I apologize if this is too much trouble for you...
Vahlde: Don't worry about it. Let him complain all he wants...
A few minutes later...
Kyte: W-why is there so much sand here? Takes his shoe off and gets rid of the sand inside. Jeez...
Vahlde: We're getting closer to Dunorg, which is the village of earth, so it makes sense...
Gungee: Hm...
Vahlde: What's wrong?
Gungee: I'm surprised no monsters have appeared yet...
Vahlde: Good point; I've been wondering about that myself.
Kyte: Puts his shoe back on. There's a good reason for that, actually.
Vahlde: Oh? You know why?
Kyte: They're afraid, duh. Afraid to get themselves killed by my awesome skills! Makes perfect sense.
Vahlde (angry): ...idiot! Whacks him in the head with her lance.
Kyte: Ow!
Vahlde: Covers her nose. It's probably the horrible smell of your feet that's driving them away!
Gungee: U-um... What's the relationship between you two?
Kyte: Takes his other shoe off and gets rid of the sand inside. Huh? What do you mean?
Vahlde: There is none. We were just randomly chosen to be partners...
Gungee: *sweatdrop* I see... So you two aren't fond of each other?
Vahlde: N-no way! Never!
Kyte: I'm as fond of her as I am of this sand... Puts his shoe back on.
Gungee: But you two seen to argue a lot... And the more people argue, the more they care about each other. It is a very famous saying in Dunorg.
Kyte/Vahlde: W-what?!? That's crazy!
A few minutes later...
Kyte: ...
Vahlde: ...
Gungee: (They haven't said a word for a while now... I can't believe it actually worked!) The ground begins to shake.
Kyte: W-what's happening?
Gungee: I-it's the monsters!
Monsters (3): Appear above them.
Kyte: It's about time! Ha! Slashes one.
Vahlde: Lightning! Kills the other two with lightning. That was a waste of time...
Kyte: Glares at Vahlde. (Show off...)
Vahlde: What's wrong?
Kyte: Nothing! Let's go! Runs ahead.
Giant Monster: Appears behind them.
Gungee (shocked): W-what is that?!?
Vahlde: Grabs the man and jumps to a higher ledge. Kyte! Get out of the way of the monster!
Kyte: Continues to walk forward.
Vahlde: Kyte!
Monster: ROOAARRR!!! Raises a claw to attack Kyte.
Gungee: Oh no! The monster's going to kill him!
Vahlde: KYTE!!! ... Jumps down the ledge, on top of the monster. RAH! Charges up her lance with lightning, then stabs it in the back.
Monster: BZZ-ROOOAAARRRR!!!!! Dies.
Kyte (surprised): Turns around. Hm? W-what the heck?!? That monster's huge!
Vahlde (angry): Jumps down the monster next to Kyte and glares at him.
Kyte: What?
Vahlde (angry): Whacks him with her lance.
Kyte: Ow! Why'd you hit me for?
Vahlde (angry): What's wrong with you? Why didn't you listen to me?!? If it weren't for me, that thing would've killed you!
Kyte: Sorry! It was behind me, so I didn't know...
Vahlde (angry): What the heck does that have to do with anything?!?
Kyte: Um, n-nothing... I was just not paying attention...
Vahlde (angry): Well, pay more attention next time! I'm not going to save you again!
Kyte (angry): I never asked you to save me!
Gungee: *sigh* They're arguing again... Um, hello? You two; could you get me down from here?
Kyte (angry): Guys are supposed to save girls, not the other way around!
Vahlde (angry): Again with the gender roles... Don't you know those are things of the past?
Gungee: Hello? Please get me down!
Vahlde: O-oh! Sorry! Gets him down.
Gungee: Thank you, I thought you two would never stop arguing...
Kyte: I'm sorry Vahlde is so stupid...
Vahlde: Whacks him with her lance. The only ones that are stupid are people that call others stupid!
Kyte: Since you're calling me stupid, that makes you stupid too...
Gungee: You two must care about each other a lot since you argue so much...
Kyte/Vahlde: ...
Gungee: (Worked again.)
Kyte's and Vahlde's trip seems to be going fine - sort of. Will they make the trip, or will their constant arguing be the death of them?
