Ghaleon finishes his tasks, and prepares to leave to check on Alisia.
"Hey Ghaleon," quotes Viscera. "I did a little research on your lady friend here, and I've found out that she is Alisia D'Alkirk, descendant of Jessica D'Alkirk, whom helped to defeat you so long ago. I'm sure the irony of this hasn't escaped you by now."
"Well... I really don't care Viscera. The way she looked at me today, that sad, lonely look in her eyes. Vis, I... I... I care about her."
"Nothing wrong with falling in love big buddy! She IS quite attractive. I don't blame ya."
"Well, I'm off. Give my regards to Queen Valna!"
"I will! Take care man."
Viscera uses his Phoenix Gate, and teleports away, while Ghaleon heads for Solomon Shrine.
After a good walk, he finally reaches the beautiful and ominous shrine. He stops for a moment to take in the beauty of the area, then he heads due east.
Two hours later, Ghaleon comes across a house seated atop a small hill. He makes his way to it and knocks on the door. He was greeted by a little girl whose appearance immediately dug up buried memories from well over one thousand years ago.
"She looks just like Jessica..." Ghaleon thinks to himself.
"Hello, can I help you?"
Ghaleon kneels down and smiles at Visions.
"Yes, I'm looking form Mrs. Alisia D'Alkirk. Is she in?"
Alisia comes from out of the kitchen and spots Ghaleon at the door.
"Ghaleon! You came!! Visions, let him in sweetie."
"Oh, your name is Visions? Nice to meet you!"
"You! You're the man that helped my mommy, aren't you?"
"Yes I am. Have you been taking care of her?"
"Yep! Thank you for helping my mommy!!!"
Visions jumps up and hugs Ghaleon, he embraces and picks up the child.
Ghaleon follows Alisia into her kitchen where she prepared quite a feast.
"Please help yourself Ghaleon, there's plenty for everyone!"
"Thank you Alisia," answers Ghaleon, fixing himself a plate. "Do you live here alone?"
"Yes, just me and my baby."
"I see, she must help mommy out a lot, doesn't she?"
Visions looks and smiles brightly at Ghaleon.
As the night carries on, Visions starts to get sleepy and prepares to go to bed. She hugs Ghaleon good night, and heads to her room. "She's such a sweet girl."
"Yes she is," answers Alisia. "She's my pride and joy. Just like her father."
"Where is her father? Did he desert you?"
"No, ...he died shortly after Visions was born. He suffered a heart attack."
"I'm sorry Milady, I didn't know."
"That's okay, Amano's gone, but I still have our little girl with me! And she kind of likes you too! She normally doesn't talk to anyone."
"She's such a sweetheart. I've also noticed a powerful aura of magic around her."
"So have I. I'm not sure yet, but I think that it's wind. She normally comes in during a thunderstorm dry as a bone, and accompanied by a slight breeze."
"Do you plan to teach her how to use and control her power? I was the premier of the Magic Guild of Vane, and I'd be happy to help."
"I planned on waiting till she got a little older, but I'd appreciate your help. I'm sure she would too."
Alisia and Ghaleon stare at each other, eye to eye. Ghaleon starts to feel a little nervous, and states that he has to leave. He yawns and prepares to head back to Southerland.
"Now I can't let you go out this late," states Alisia. "Please stay here. You are more than welcome."
"I don't want to wear out my welcome... I must..."
"Nonsense! Visions likes you, and you saved me from that lech Garland. And... I... I tire of being alone all of the time. Please... will you stay with me?"
Unable to overcome the feelings in his heart, Ghaleon agrees to stay the night. He prepares to crash on the couch, but his current attire was not quite sleep worthy.
"Come with me!" sings Alisia. "I'm sure that some of Amano's old PJ's will fit you!"
Ghaleon follows Alisia to her room where he tries on a suitable night suit.
"Perfect!" sings Alisia, adjusting Ghaleon's waistband. As she does, she stops and once again looks into his eyes, Ghaleon doing the same. Before he knows it, Ghaleon leans forward and kisses Alisia.
She raises on her toes and kisses him back, and before they know it...
Early the next morning, (Sorry folks!) Ghaleon and Alisia were awaken by the loud banging of someone at the front door. Alisia throws on her robe, and answers the door.
"Yes... can I help you?"
At the door was a short young man. Tanned skin, and golden armor with a blue sash.
"Pardon me milady, but would an ugly elven lad by the name of Ghaleon be here?"
"Mommy, who's at the door?"
Visions had woken up as well, and walked up to Alisia, clinging to her leg.
"I have disturbed your daughter madam, I am sorry."
"Viscera, that you waking everybody up?"
Ghaleon comes from the back room, kissing Alisia and walking outside with Viscera.
"You're quite taken with her I see."
"Viscera... I love her."
"Nothing wrong with it, but she has a child. Are you sure you're up to it?"
"Yes I am. I... I look upon little Visions as though she were my own. Viscera, I can't leave her."
"I understand my friend. Love's a precious thing, I'm glad that you've found it. That's a pretty lady Ghal. Take care of her!"
Viscera slaps Ghaleon HARD on his butt and laughs as he walks off.
