'Who....or...what.....was that voice?' That was what I kept wondering. In the last few years, everything has gotten so peculiar around myself... I couldn't understand why so many odd events were occurring...
I started thinking about all the strange events that occurred in my life... First, Emilia as child was left on our doorstep... Then father raised her alongside our family...
She's always had a strange illness that no one could ever cure... A being of some sort made some kind of exchange with her... What's more, for some bizarre reason, part of that deal was attempting to slaughter all of us...
She gained abilities I never thought existed... What is more abysmal...is that after she was free of that illness, she tried to end my life as well as 'bring mankind into a new era'.
Squall thought, ''Emilia..... What does that mean? . .Why? . .Why.....are you.....?''
The next few days, thereafter hearing a strange being in my dreams, I balanced training my new abilities and thinking about everything that happened, trying to figure out how I could help her...
At the moment, I couldn't get those wings to appear... Despite that, I was able to improve my recent peculiar ability to draw light mana out of my body...
I figured out a new attack that I never had before I named, 'EMP Discharge.' I am not completely sure what it actually does...
Squall thought, ''Focus...your...mind... Calm...your...mana's flow.....''
A few nights after I restarted my training...
I had another peculiar dream, I didn't understand... It was similar to that one I had a while ago... Fierce winter, odd background, and a being behind the dark sky.....
Dream Squall asked, ''What with this dream? . .What's it doing? . . . .''
It was dim, but one detail I noticed was that this being had wings like before... It seemed to be raising it's hands up, then it slowly put it's hands together...
That act felt familiar, though I didn't know why... The being said one word that sounded like static again...
Winged being asked, ''_-_-Do y_u...beli_v_.....in the g_dd_-s?'' Dream Squall asked, ''Belief...? Belief...in.....who?''
Squall thought as she awoke, ''Uh? . . . .That...dream.....''
At that moment, I had a uninvited visitor knock on my door once again...
Jizelle said with serious emotion, ''Are you awake? Their is something that I wish to share. Squall? Are you up yet?''
Squall replied, ''Regrettably... I am..... It's not locked...'' Jizelle said anxiously, ''Good. I decided on something and I wanted to let you know...''
Squall questioned, ''You seem to be awake earlier than you usually would be.'' Jizelle replied, ''That's because... I realized something. (Clears throat) We are going to finally obtain transportation!''
Squall asked, ''Uhh?'' Jizelle explained, ''The last few nights, I conducted some research and did some thinking. I am sick of running and walking everywhere.
Think about it, the last few times that you fainted, I needed some assistance from my robo-servants. It still wasn't easy. It's good for my cute figure, but I would rather have real transport.
Squall asked, ''Your point?'' Jizelle said smiling, ''I am going to obtain a motorcycle license like my previous human servants did. It's required to be over 16, and I am 17. I can't believe I didn't think of this before...
The websites say it's easier if you have a guardian with you. I am going to meet my old favorite butler, and I thought it would be nice for you to meet him as well.''
Squall asked, ''Is that action necessary?'' Jizelle pleaded, ''Please, come with me. I also want you to meet him, just in case something ever happens. Please.....(The begging eyes)''
With that, I somehow got roped into going to meet her old butler. I didn't understand how I got sucked into this annoying event... As we were walking there, she told me about him.
Only a couple long blocks east from the mansion, she said that this fancy building is where we would find him. I was conflicted in my feelings about this...
Jizelle said, ''Alright. That's it. Let's go inside.'' Squall thought, ''This is it? Hmm.....''
We went behind this mid-class restaurant. It didn't seem too fancy... Behind this business, we were close to the snow mountains this city is built between... Jizelle knocked on the back door, and someone responded.
Old voice said, ''You may come in...'' Jizelle said to herself, ''Alright.''
When she opened that door, I laid my sight upon the back of what looked like a old man, looking back at us. The room we were in wasn't massive and had mostly shelves along with other things.
Jizelle said with a smile, ''It's been a while, Walter.'' Classy old man asked with shock, ''Is that indeed you, Lady Jizelle?''
Jizelle replied, ''You are right. It's me. . .Squall? this is my old butler, Walter Herbert. Walter? This is Squall.'' Squall hesitantly nodded.
Walter said with a tear, ''I can't believe it has already been over three years, and you've grown up since then...''
Jizelle asked smiling, ''You noticed? Thank you.'' Walter asked, ''Then, she's the girl you told me about a while ago?''
Jizelle replied, ''Indeed she is. She's my friend.'' Squall said, ''I said, we aren't friends... We are associates...''
Walter said, ''How fabulous this is... I am glad I finally get to meet your young friend. (Smiles)"
Apparently, this is one of the loyal servants who raised her after her parents died...
Jizelle said, ''I would like to talk, but you know what I am here for, right?'' Walter confirmed, ''Ahh, yes. The motorcycle license test... Just like I did years ago... . .You really wish to obtain a motorcycle?''
Jizelle replied, ''I do. Now, you said you can leave for a bit right?'' Walter replied, ''That is correct. I am ahead on all of my bookkeeping. They said I can do more later.''
Jizelle said quietly to Squall, ''Since he was let go as my butler, he found a job in keeping track of this restaurant's business transactions. Isn't that neat?'' Squall reacted with walking out the door.
Walter said while chuckling, ''Let's go...'' Jizelle said, ''Right. Squall? You can go back to the mansion now. I wished for you to meet him, but we're done now. Thanks so much for putting up with my request.''
Squall hesitantly nodded to her.
Afterwards, I went back to our mansion and decided to train some more. Jizelle was gone for hours while she took the test. After I trained for a bit, the maid, Sophia made me lunch.
While I was dining, I started thinking about her.
Squall thought, ''I never realized, ...I didn't knew much about her... I.....never asked.....about her past at all... She only told me how.....she lost her parents to pneumonia when she was young.
She.....has...no.....parents..... No...mother...or...father..... Uh! Why am I thinking about this? . .I...shouldn't bother myself, ...with her past...''
Then, there was the sound of the doors opening, meaning that she must be home... At that moment, I got lost in my thoughts... Jizelle walked in on myself thinking about her...
Jizelle said with glee, ''Squall? I past the test! They told me I should get the license delivered tomorrow! (Laughs) . . . .Huh? Squall? Are you alright?''
Squall said, ''Hmm? . .Sorry, I...didn't hear you come in... (Resumes eating)'' Jizelle asked, ''Oh, no! I'm late for dinner?!''
Sophia asked, ''Lady Jizelle? Would you like for me to heat it up for you?'' Jizelle said, ''Yes, I do. Please get to that immediately.''
While we were eating, I remembered something...
Previous book quote read, 'Sometimes you don't ever realize it, but if you have issues with yourself, you affect everyone around you.'
Squall thought, ''Am...I.....doing exactly that? Are...my actions...having a affect on her? . .We're not.....friends, ...however I...wonder...''
Jizelle asked, ''Is...something wrong?'' Squall looked forward and asked, ''Do.....my actions.....hurt you, in some fashion?''
Jizelle said confused, ''That...was out of nowhere... Hmm... What do I answer? . . . .Well, I would like it if you talked to me more instead of having whatever it is always on your mind.''
Squall asked, ''That is your answer?'' Jizelle responded, ''Indeed. You seem to always have something on your mind. Wouldn't it be better to get it off your chest, rather than always keeping it locked inside?''
Her answer left me conflicted. After I finished what was left of my portions, I left the table. Looking back on it, those books may have been correct on my situation...
After I got up, I pushed myself to say something to her...
Squall said with hesitation, ''Um..... Thanks...for...today... I'll be leaving now...'' Jizelle questioned, ''What...was... Wait. Was...that actual gratitude? Wait...a second here...''
Afterwards, I left the dining room, with her confused about my random action...
The next late morning...
Like Jizelle told me, her digital license arrived. She annoyingly busted in my room to tell me the news.
Jizelle said gleefully, ''How sweet! Look, I got a motorcycle license now! (Giggles) You know what that means, don't you?'' Squall was puzzled.
Jizelle said, ''I can buy a motorcycle now. Finally, no more running across this city!''
She left to go buy one, and was gone for a bit. Afterwards, I could hear the sound of her coming back with a motorcycle.
After she got back home, she was asking from my locked door to ride the new bike with her. I wasn't sure how, but she roped me into actually getting outside and riding it with her...
She purposely bought a two-seater for certain situations. I sat on the back seat of the bike, and she drove me around a few blocks of the city... When riding, I said...
Squall said in hesitation, ''Uh..... I haven't felt.....anything...like this.....before... . .I...like.....this...'' Jizelle said conflicted, ''Squall..... (Gleeful sounds) . . . .You're welcome...''
That's all for now!
[Time with Jizelle]
Jizelle said with glee, ''I am so glad that she seems to be improving. Hooray for Squall! Now, let's move to today's fun facts. Today, I will tell you about... Ah! I have the perfect ideal!
I will talk in depth about how I was raised. Like we said, I haven't had parents since I was almost 2 years old. Walter told me that there was a lot of legal issues, and it was complicated...
In the end, him and my other servants decided to raise me the best they could until I was ready to take care of myself. He said that he enjoyed raising me and watching me grow before his eyes...
Apparently, intelligence must run in our family genes, because I rose up to the the top students in the academy. Right before I graduated and was twelve, I figured out how to make robo-servants.Everyone was really impressed. I did tons of tests and they proved to work really well.
It's because, I made them of course. (Giggles) Unfortunately, that makes it mostly lonely in the mansion, but I don't think about it too much... Well, that's all for now. See you soon! Farewell!!
