Now in the Sony kingdom her hero days seemed limited to the sparring matches she had with the locals, and the few stray missions that paid just enough to keep her in the most basic of comforts. She had stood strong, fought for her lands and her friends destroyed the moon that never sets, and had virtually given her life to a cause. Leaving her with only one question left, now what?<br/><br/>Her life should have been peaceful now, but with no purpose left Rose found herself wondering. Her friends were scattered to the winds, and she was left back at the beginning of it all. Eternal life was a bitch when you ran out of things to do, or more so people to do them with. It was why she found herself enjoying another night in the pits. One of the many names the local fighting den had collected. It was no surprise to see so many different faces there. All the characters that were designed to fight for one reason or another, no left with nothing to do but try and live normal lives.<br/><br/>"Buttercup right? Or was it Daisy?" the large man said as he hopped from one foot to another, "Rose, my name is Rose. But you shouldn't really worry about my name. You won't be screaming later anyway." she smiled and gripped the edge of her rapier before charging her opponent once more.<br/><br/>It didn't take long for the ending bell to ring, "I'd say it was fun, but really...well maybe it was a little fun." Rose smiled as she stepped over the unconscious man and out of the makeshift ring. Some cheered and collected their money, some grumbled about the match being unfair for some reason. Honestly Rose didn't care as she collected her share of the winnings and moved towards the exit. Her blood boiled and the dragoon spirit within her felt at ease, at least for now, its need for battle stifled by the short matches of that filled her evening.<br/><br/>Leaving the gathering behind Rose made her way home. Or more so the Inn she had begun to call home. Her room was simple but it had what she needed, one of those things being a shower, or more so a long hot bath. It was a luxury she had learned to love since returning to the Sony Kingdom. Upon pushing her door open Rose saw a letter that had been slid underneath it. At first she picked up and tossed onto the table beside the door, it could wait till after she washed the sweat from her body.<br/><br/>Only when that was done did Rose return to the letter and finally open it. Her eyes scanned the first few lines before her brow scrunched and she sat down and suddenly began to take the strange not seriously.<br/><br/>She read the letter carefully and began to understand that all the kingdoms were at risk. The idea of it caused the dragoon spirit within her to stir, as if it could sense the possible impending battle. There was no doubt that they would eventually face what was coming, but with this letter coming her way she had a chance to try and face it head on now. It wasn't something Rose had been expecting, but it wasn't something she could ignore either. If by simple chance it gave her something real to do once more. So she dressed herself and took a breath before hitting yes.<br/><br/>She had no idea what to expect, but found herself almost excited to see the portal appear before her. "Looks like trouble," she smirked once and smoothing stepped forward.<br/><br/>Once her eyes adjusted to the new level of light Rose looked about her at the strange collection of hero's, and the even stranger orange beast that hopped about ahead of them. It seemed they were to follow, she wasn't about to back out now, but she still held the handle to her rapier tight as the group moved forward, after all one never got anywhere by being too afraid to step forward.<br/><br/>By the time they reached the beaches and the their so called teachers Rose found herself tense, if only because of all the theatrics, it took to get to where they were now, and because her weapon had been taken from her. She stood diffidently with her arms crossed over her chest as the introductions began, her eyes scanning over Angeal Hewley, swordsmen...well that would have to wait to be seen.<br/><br/>Rose waited till the others finished speaking before dropping her hands and stepping forward. "I'm Rose, from the Sony Kingdom. And I'm here because I was invited, and it sounds like a good fight is coming our way." it wasn't the whole real answer, but Rose didn't yet trust this ragtag group, so she wasn't about to share too much about herself. If they wanted more answers, they would have to earn them. For now she was the one wanting some real answers.<br/><br/>(word count=853 EX=2)<br/>
