X Fiendfyre X — Roleplayer Guild

Lilia had slain a dragon? That seemed a little ridiculous. She had been very frail and sickly when Kaito had known her. Did that change when she was sent here? Would he be capable of such feats, or was he truly out of his element. He didn't feel any different. Certainly not powerful enough to vanquish a dragon. And the way Gilda seemed to move away from the topic of Lilia was rather strange. There was something she wasn't telling him.

"Please... Call me Kaito," he told her, growing uncomfortable with the whole 'Sir Hero' thing. With a gesture, he indicated for her to lead on. "Let's get to your home, then. Hopefully your family won't mind you having a boy over." That had been a bit of an issue with Lilia's family at first. "Believe me, I may actually have enough questions to keep you up all night if you let me." Kaito didn't even know where to begin, but he wasn't dressed for Autumn weather. He would wait until they were safely inside to ask much more.

Following closely behind Gilda, he tried to ascertain exactly what sort of timeline this place was in. Based on her clothing and manner of speech, it was probably something like medieval times. Maybe a little later. If dragons were real, there was probably magic and other similar creatures. He wondered if there were elves or dwarves, but he kept that to himself for now. Kaito didn't want to appear stupid or too presumptuous in front of his only friend in this strange land.

"As a matter of fact, I think she did," Kaito replied with an affirmative nod. "It was kind of garbled, but I think she wanted me to obtain some type of gems? I'm guessing they must be pretty powerful. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?"

Kaito's legs felt shaky. There was a loud rushing sound in his ears, like that of an oncoming train. Most of Gilda's words were lost in that madness. Bits and pieces trickled through, and they did nothing to calm him down. 

Lilia. She's here. This is where she went.

He fell forward onto his kness, placing his palms flat against the ground. It was spiky with dry dirt and up-sticking hay, but it was the only solid thing he had to grasp at the moment. Kaito could feel his throat tightening, and his rate of breathing increased threefold. His chest heaved as he looked up at Gilda wide-eyed. She was watching him with a sparkle in her eye, as if she expected great things of him at any moment.

"I... I knew her. Lilia Akatsuki," he gasped whilst nodding. "I knew her on Earth. She came here, you say? We were chosen?" It was a bit of a tough pill to swallow, but strangely enough it didn't hit him as hard as it probably should have. Kaito had seen this kind of thing dozens of times in the video games he played, books he read, and anime he watched. Even if it was a dream or hallucination, there was nothing wrong with enjoying the ride while it lasted.

"Alright. Alright," he nodded slowly, swallowing hard and struggling back to his feet. Kaito reached to Gilda for assistance, but whether or not she helped, he was able to pull himself back to his feet. "Village of Autumn. Land of Wind. Easy enough to remember," he murmured, trying to retain some of the knowledge being spouted at him. Perhaps if he showed some understanding, she'd settle down, too.

"So... what's the problem, then?" he asked, trying to see where he fit in with all of this. "If this Sage brought me here, which I'm pretty sure she did, by the way... What's the matter? Is Lilia in trouble? What am I to do?" For some reason, the word 'gems' kept echoing in Kaito's mind. This 'Sage' had said it to him just before. Surely there was some significance to be had there.
