[ Journal & Synopsis - Fifth Entry ]
Entry No o5. Within the Badlands.
[written in pen on paper in Luke's personal journal]
The Fiertia - a ship I boarded in Kropmork; also apparently some mercenary ship too, according to Master Delita - doesn't seem to be too bad at all. The captain's certainly better than the other two I've seen (especially that old geezer back on the Victoria II, what an old fart he is) though then again, Master Delita told me it was best if I remained wary of them - they are mercenaries, after all. I guess I can understand what he's getting at, but... they couldn't be that bad, right? Or at least, I don't think they are. Those that I've met while I was exploring the ship seem decent enough, like that girl who gave me cake... though there's that kid who annoys the hell outta me.
And well, there's Howl - I mean, Pendragon (as he wants me to call him in public, dunno why but its not like I can complain) - as well. He really was kinda... odd. Nothing like how I expected a powerful wizard to be like at all! He gave me this spellbook too since he agreed to take me under his wing to train, but his handwriting's horrible and I couldn't make out a single letter! I did try, but all it did was to cause an explosion and scared that bird with me. Couldn't stop flapping about for about half an hour afterwards. (Why can't it just leave me anyway? Didn't the government need to take it or something? I thought those licenses were temporary or something...) But at any rate, he says he's gonna train me one-on-one one of these days! I'm really looking forward to it : hopefully a practical gonna help me in this, and I'll need all the help I can get with my Hyperresonance!
Hyperresonance... that reminds me. I got another one of those attacks again - an attack by my hyperresonance power (though I don't even know why this is happening...) while I was talking with Asch who now seems to be working on this ship now (if I had know I'd have been back to the Silvana instead; at least putting up with that stick-up-his-ass captain's a lot more tolerable them him). He said something that really got me mad and then... the attack came. Asch helped me this time round, and he said he'd talk to me later... though he hasn't contacted me yet since. I wonder if he's really going to speak to me - but why would he want to anyway? All he does is to shout at me for no reason and not answering any of the questions I really want answers to...
Asch... he has my looks, the techniques my teacher back at House Fabre taught me and even this power I found within myself too... why does he have them anyway? He seems to know, but he doesn't want to tell me at all. And that seriously annoys the heck outta me. Why doesn't he want to tell me the truth? Somehow I feel like I'm getting closer, especially after that meeting with Jade and talking with Asch back then... but I have a bad feeling about this 'truth'. Somewhere inside, a part of me doesn't want to hear this 'truth'. I don't know why, and I don't care either; I need to know the truth about this whole issue, weather people like it or not.
I suppose I can only see what happens when I get to ask Asch the questions that I've had in my head for a while. Though possibly not now, since the ship's apparently on some sort of cargo-transporting job and is on the way to Clairborne. The captain said the job was 'odd', though. I can't help but wonder why.
Maybe I can ask him later, when the job's done.
