For You
(Inside his dream, Joss opens a door. Inside, his world changes. A giant library with books flying to different shelves. He sees the place where Cerberus rests and alongside him a door with many chains. His face changes to one of sadness. He sits near it. On the other side, Amelia is tied by several strong magical chains.)
Amelia: So, the hero comes.
Joss: Are you...the real Amelia?
Amelia: As real as the world you are currently in.
Joss: But...you're supposed to be dead..
Amelia: Eh, I know. But here am I. Tied like a savage dog
Joss: You know the reason well! (He raised his voice)
(They stay silent for a moment)
Amelia: Do you remember the first Christmas we were together? That snowy day?
Joss: Yes...I remember...
Amelia: You hated the cold. (She smiles)
Joss: But that was because I went out without nothing to protect myself against it.
Amelia: I know. I also gave you my scarf and mittens.
Joss: Yes. (He laughed)
Amelia: I did it...to protect you. And so, in this world I will do the same. (Her eyes changed to a deep red) Even if that means killing everyone that may harm you.
(Tears rolled in Joss' cheeks)
Joss: You are not her. She was kinder.
Amelia: ALL OF THEM JOSS. I WILL KILL THEM!!!
(Joss wakes up by the voice of Vita)
Vita: Master, are you ok? You were tossing and turning.
Joss: Yeah.
(Some tears were found in his cheeks. He stands and exits the tent.)
Vita:...Master..
(In his way out, Joss began to hear ominous voices.)
Voices:
Stand, men of the land, for he comes again.
Fall, for he comes to regain what was lost to him.
Sorrow and death awaits everyone.
For he, having lost everything, found what was forgotten
Vengeance calls his name...Amell
(Joss awakens and sees that everybody is around him. He touches is face and finds something similar to him: blood, but this time it was his. Merlin takes him to the tent.)
Merlin: You have been weird lately. Are you ok?
Joss: I really don't know. Everything seems like a dream to me.
Merlin: You should just ignore everything. Is only your mind playing tricks on you. The transformation you did back at the cage has taken a toll in your body and mind. I will make some potions to help you.
(Vita was around Joss when Merlin was walking away)
Joss: I will take it. But before you go, Merlin, who...who is Amell?
(Vita hissed and jumped back. Merlin turned to Joss with dead serious eyes)
Merlin: Where did you heard that name? WHERE?!
(Joss was startled by both women)
Joss: I...uhm...heard...
Merlin: Just...(She looked to both sides) Just don't say that name out loud. That name...is a cursed one. Now, stand up. We must leave now!
(Vita looked at Joss with sadness and went out. Joss followed. Outside, Metalicana was sitting in the floor, hands tied)
Metalicana: So, the Deadman lives...for now.
Joss: You are a very cocky for someone who is at our mercy.
Metalicana: I have been in worse situations.
Shion: What will we do with her?
Metalicana: Want to have some fun with me~?
Anastacya: You wish.
Welf: You could just kill her.
(Welf approaches the team from behind. Metalicana glares at him)
Welf: A person like her could escape almost every cell in the cities. Just kill her now and be done with it.
(Everyone turns abruptly to the young blacksmith except Merlin.)
Welf: How are ya there?
(He grins while waving his hand.)
Merlin: No. Although she has done some wrong things, we aren't tasked in running a judgment upon her. We will leave her near the border of the capital and let them do their job.
Welf: Well, that is your problem. But I gotta say, that fight was a good one. I thought Joss would lose, but he came with a good comeback.
Joss: You saw everything?
Welf: Heck yeah!
Merlin: You will tell me the details later. For now, we will go.
Welf: If you don't mind, I would like to join you.
Anastacya: And why we should let you?
Welf: I'm good with fighting, getting girls and making weapons. Not necessarily in that order. (He laughs) It could be good to have a blacksmith in your group.
Shion: He was a point.
Merlin: Well, welcome aboard.
Anastacya: But Merlin!
Merlin: I sense no ill towards us and having someone like him in our party would do us good.
Anastacya: Ok ok.
Merlin: Well, let's get ready to go.
(She chants some words and a magic circle appeared around them)
