Fourth Seal

[carries_a_bell]

... You know, it's really bizarre how memories just suddenly come back out of nowhere.  Especially since I haven't done anything strange or outstanding.

Anyways, it turns out I was a fighter back home.  Close combat though...  And I fought with... cards?  Why would I choose cards of all things?  But now that I know that, I can start getting back

I think Martel was a goddess. At least, there was something called the Church of Martel back home. And the Chosen--that was Colette. She used to be here, but she disappeared suddenly months ago. I only knew her for a short time, but Lloyd would know more about her. They were really good friends, even before they came here.

I, um, forgot to mention that before. I come from the same place as Lloyd, so that must mean I share a home with you and Professor Klarth too. I figured it out a few weeks ago, but I wasn't feeling very up to talking with people then. I'm really sorry about that. I should have said something sooner.

I'm not sure about anything else you mentioned, but if you want someone to practice with I might be able to help. I'm not much good, since I'm still relearning things, but I'd be willing to help if you want me to.

It's okay, don't worry about it. Are you feeling alright now?

But why would a unicorn mistake Colette for a Goddess? Well, it did say their presences were the same... Either way, thanks for the info.

I appreciate the offer. I'm trying to figure out reactions and general fighting style still, not to mention how I'm supposed to use these seals while I'm dodging attacks. And why do I have a seal that can blow things up? Really.

[chaos_squirrel]

Yeah, I'm okay. You don't have to worry about me. I've come to understand some things since then.

I don't really remember much about Martel yet. I just know that the Church of Martel turned out pretty bad--not that Colette is a bad person herself! And the unicorn said their presences were similar? I wonder what that means about Martel, then. But I feel sorry for that unicorn. What happened to him?

I think I got a little lucky. I use a sword like a lot of other people, so I can learn from them, but you have to learn all this by yourself. It's amazing that you're already trying to figure it out. I think I'd be a little intimidated by that. I've never seen someone fight using cards before, but I'll help you all I can!

The Church was corrupt... wonder what happened.

The unicorn gave us his horn, so he died. But... well, we found out later that when one dies, another one is born somewhere else. So... I guess it's alright. Still bothers me though.

Ah ha, you think so? It doesn't seem like that much, but at least it's a start. Besides, I promised that jerk a match when I could fight, and I'm not planning on backing down!

[chaos_squirrel]

The Church wasn't corrupt, exactly--well, maybe it was. I just know they attacked my hometown, though some things about that night don't really make sense. But would a goddess really want for that kind of thing to happen? If that attack was what Martel really wanted, then I can't see her as being like Colette at all.

I understand how you feel about the unicorn. You can't help but feel bad, because it's always horrible when somebody dies, no matter who or what. But I thought about this, a while ago, and I guess... I'm glad that at least there was a new one who could live. And we're still alive to remember the old one. There's that much, at least.

And, um, good luck with your fight! I'm sure you'll do well.

Maybe the people running it were messed up? Then the faith wouldn't necessarily be wrong but... it would have been manipulated. I don't know. Maybe I'll figure it out when I remember more things.

... Why were you thinking about something like that? Bad memories?

Thanks for the encouragement! I hope I do well too.

[chaos_squirrel]

That could be true. I would like to think Martel is a good person, too, especially if she is a goddess. I wish everyone could remember things more quickly. I know it takes patience to remember everything, but there are so many questions I want to know the answers to.

...I--Sort of. A while back, I remembered some bad news right after my life started getting really confusing. It's actually gotten even more confusing since then, but I'm trying not to let it get me down too much anymore, because I've learned to appreciate what I have better.

Tell me when it's your time, okay? I'll come and cheer you on.

[carries_a_bell]

I think everyone here does. But we'll get there eventually.

... I see. If you ever need an ear, I'm willing to listen, okay? Don't think you've got to just bear everything by yourself.

Eh heh. Might not be for a while.

[chaos_squirrel]

Haha...thank you, Sheena. All that really means a lot to me. And I'll be there to support you when you need it, too! I promise--it's the least I could do for a friend.

[carries_a_bell]

Hey, just being a friend means a lot. And don't forget that it goes both ways, alright?

[chaos_squirrel]

Yeah. I understand.

[carries_a_bell]

Good.
