Elemental Legends (Sophie and rawkhawk64)

Valgius shook his head. "How was I supposed to know that!?" he muttered back. The King merely nodded. "I... see..." he said. He then snapped his fingers. An old lady then approached the two. Valgius quickly recognized her. "You... Odd, but somehow unsurprising." Valgius said as the lady removed her hood, revealing herself as the fortune teller from before. She turned to Sophie. "I told you, you are the Child of Destiny." she said. She then turned to the King and explained everything about Valgius to them. The Princess, meanwhile, was glaring daggers at Sophie when she saw him grab Valgius hand, and discreetly winked at Valgius, who pointedly ignored her, except for a slight chuckle.

The King nodded at Valgius. Meanwhile, the Princess returned Sophie's glare with an icy stare. Valgius sighed. "Great... just fantastic..." he muttered. The King cleared his throat. "We saw the disturbance at the Shinboru, and know that one of you is responsible. Now, speak up and tell us what happened." the King said in a voice that clearly was meant to only be obeyed. Valgius shook his head. "Your Majesty, I haven't the slightest clue as to what that fountain did. I don't even know what a 'Shinboru' is..." Valgius muttered. The Queen turned to Sophie. "What about you?" she simply asked, her voice more warm and inviting.

The guards, however, ignored Sophie as they made their way back to their posts. Valgius nodded. "Whatever it is, they sure don't take 'no' for an answer." Valgius said, conjuring a bit of water and swallowing it. He then nodded. "All we can do is go in and see what they want." Valgius said. He stepped forward, approaching the throne. There, three people were sitting on thrones. Valgius could tell the King and Queen, as they were older looking. The youngest one must have been a princess. She to be around the same age as Vaglius and Sophie. As soon as she saw him, the Princess blushed a bit. Valgius ignored her, and bowed. "Your Majesty, you wished to see us?" Valgius asked.

The guard nodded, and they six escorted Valgius and Sophie through the city, and toward a castle. Upon seeing just the outside, Valgius' jaw dropped. This place was bigger and grander than anything he'd ever seen. Once inside, Valgius thought he was gonna explode from the overload of sights. However, the guards kept the two moving at a brisk pace. One of the guards, along the way, had snatched Sophie's knife from Valgius. The two eventually reached a tall door that was magnificently decorated with gold and silver trim. "The Kuri Royal Family wished to see you two." the guard said, motioning them through the door.

Valgius looked back at Sophie. "I dunno about you, but I don't wanna have to go through that experience with those odd weapons again... so I'm going with them. Who knows, maybe we'll find out something interesting." Valgius said. He then moved in close, and whispered loud enough only for her to hear. "But, if you want, I can distract 'em and you can run."

Valgius squinted as a bright light flashed in the square. After Valgius' vision returned, he saw Sophie standing. He looked her over. No wound... not even his blood on her. He shook his head. Something weird was going on... Before he could contemplate anything further, he felt a presence behind him. Valgius turned around, and saw six guards standing in formation, all aiming guns at the two. "To what do we owe this pleasure?" Valgius asked, only to have a pair of handcuffs slapped in his wrist. Valgius sighed. "Are we under arrest?" he asked. One of the men shook his head. "No... we just need to question you." Valgius shook his own head. "Then..." he said, fire flaring up, surrounding the cuffs. To the amazement of the guards, the handcuffs were melted when the flames died down. Valgius slipped out of the melted mess, dropping the hardened piece of twisted metal on the ground "... don't restrain us." he said.

Valgius rushed over to Sophie, examining the wound. It wasn't too bad... Valgius then saw the crystal glowing. "Umm... Sophie... What's going on with that fountain?" he asked, watching the orange-red glow spread. He shook his head. "Damn... wish I'd brought my sword..." he muttered.

Valgius grinned, making a spurt of water come from his palm to spray Sophie in the face. "That's where it went. I've found a Focus stone... odd to find them here, mind you, but I'm not complaining. I now have control over Water Focus again." Valgius said, spraying Sophie a second time.

Valgius felt himself falling backward. He felt his head hit something... that wasn't quite the same material as the fine crystal that made up the fountain. Valgius first pushed Sophie into an upright position, rubbing the spot where his head had hit... "Oww... I knew water was strong... but I didn't think it'd hurt that bad..." Valgius muttered, picking up a hexagonal stone. He grinned upon seeing the Water symbol, a droplet of water, on the stone. He focused his power, and felt the stone absorb itself into his hand. Valgius grinned. "Excellent." he muttered.

Valgius nodded, before igniting his hand again. He put the knife blade into the flames, and held it there for about five seconds, he then dug into the wound, making it bleed more. After a minute of digging around, he pulled the bullet out. He then gritted his teeth, before cauterizing the wound. When it was done, Valgius was panting. He turned to her. "See? No worries... right?" he asked weakly, regaining a bit of his color. He looked down to see a large hole burned in his shirt. "Good thing... I have extras... eh?" he then asked, managing a small chuckle.
