"May I see your parent or guardian?"
English
-
"Parent or guardian?!" [b][i]Ella laughs.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]He frowns slightly.[/i][/b] "Well, you appear underage, kid. Parent or guardian."
-
"But...I'm not a kid..." [b][i]Ella frowns.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]He sighs, pulling a fancy envelope from his back.[/i][/b] "At least give it to an adult," [b][i]He says, turning and walking off.[/i][/b]
-
"O-okay...thanks." [b][i]Ella begins looking for the person she considered an adult the most. I'll let you figure that out.[/i][/b] "Isaac!" [i]"Hmm? Oh hey, Ella!"[/i]
-
[b][i]Elecin looks away, but listening in.[/i][/b]
-
"And Eli. Hi. I got a letter, for a "parent or guardian". Pfft." [i]"Lemme see."[/i] [b][i]Isaac takes the letter from her.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]Elecin nods at her. Inside the envelope is a note. It reads;[/i][/b] [i]The Digital Dojo, You must've been expecting this for a while. Well, here it is…. The price for your ice dragon's return. It is Yuldner's head. The drop off point is warehouse 346 in Binard City, the time is November 11th, at midnight (Two days from now). Be there with the void dragon's head, or your ice dragon's head gets chopped. -Anonymous[/i]

[i]"-blam!-."[/i] "Uh...Isaac." [i]"God..."[/i] [b][i]Isaac growled with rage.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]Elecin blinks.[/i][/b] "What? What's going?"
-
[i]"Take it."[/i] [b][i]Isaac hands the mail to Eli, loading his revolver.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]Elecin looks it over once. Then twice. Three times, then four. After the fifth, he finally speaks.[/i][/b] "Well I'll be -blam!-ed."
-
[i]"Yuldner or Elecin...damnit. We could save both, somehow...or probably get both killed... Look...Only tell Yuldner, okay? Anri spoke to me about...Vio...unless we could use her illusions to somehow trick these bastards, I'm not sure if we should tell her yet...An told me she can't lose her..."[/i]
-
[b][i]As if a god/writer meant for it to happen, Yara walks into the courtyard, strolling over.[/i][/b] "'Ello! How're you today?"
-
[i]"Oh...Yara. Hi."[/i]
-
"What're you guys looking at?"
-
[i]"Well, Eli?"[/i]
-
"Why should I say anything?" [b][i]He raises his hands.[/i][/b] "Ella got the letter."
-
[i]"...Don't do this to me, now..."[/i] "Gimme the letter! Please!"
-
[b][i]Eli hands the letter over to Ella.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]Ella reads it, her face turning pale. Looking down, she hands it to Yara.[/i][/b] "I-I'm...I'm sorry..."
-
"What?" [b][i]A confused look appears on Yara's face.[/i][/b] "Lemme see."
-
"Please...I..." [b][i]Ella looks like she's about to cry. It's funny, considering that she's never met Yara.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]Yara takes the note, her eyes running over it. A look of comprehension dawns on her face, and teardrops form in her eyes. She drops the note on the ground, running towards the dojo's exit.[/i][/b]
-
[i]"Yara, wait!"[/i] [b][i]Isaac ran after her practically sprinting. He didn't want to see her go as well...[/i][/b] [i]"We can fix this! I promise!"[/i]
