Valor got up and looked at Nym. "... Let the trash do what it will..." He said. He drank his cup and left without paying.
"Why that little..." One of the men said. "He won't call me trash and get away with it! Come on!"
The mob followed the man, apparently not caring what Nym had said. They were more concerned with the recent insult.
Outside, they had surrounded Valor.
",,," Valor closed his eyes. As they circled him, he opened them. "I really don't give a damn who any of you are..." He said. "Just leave me be." He walked towards the edge of the circle, but was pushed back in.
"You aren't leaving, punk!" One person said. A rock was flung, smashing into Valor's skull.
Valor staggered from the blow, and went in another direction. He was met with a bat to the stomach. He staggered again. "Move it..." He said as he recovered.
"Wow, aren't we tough?" One of the men asked with a laugh.

Nym slid her grip down on her spear raised it like a bat. "I SAID TO LEAVE HIM ALONE!" She yelled, smacking her her spear into one of the thugs' head. Making him fall unconscious to the ground.
The woman bared her teeth as she went into Dragoon mode, growling when she transformed. "Leave now." Nym said simply, intimidation in her tone.

The men panicked and fled. Valor looked at Nym dully and turned away from her. He didn't really care about her at this point. Or really anything.

"Matthew Valor Tenue! Someone of your stature shouldn't be on a wanted poster, being harassed by the local lowlifes of any city." Nym said, putting her spear on her back and walking toward him. By now she was back in her human form.
"Is this really how low the man who gave me inspiration when I was a child has gone? A drunk who's caused enough damage that people from all over are hunting him down like he's an A-class criminal?" She asked, hoping her words would reach him. Nym had no idea that she was almost reenacting an event that happened a month ago...

"Shove off it." Valor said. He continued walking. "Not interested in any of it."

"Fine then. If that's what you want to do that's your choice. But just remember who you were before your current state." Nym said, turning away sadly though her expression did not show sadness.
"Would your friends really like what you've turned out to be? Think on it. Maybe next time I won't be around when someone decides they want to take you in for the bounty on your head and either kill you or capture you." She spoke, walking away from Valor.

"My friends?" Valor asked. "Hmph. They're all dead." He continued walking away.
After a few miles, he stopped. A man had been following him. Valor ignored the man and continued.
"Hey, money ticket... You know how much a Fon Slot Seal costs?" The man asked.
Valor ignored him.
"Well let me tell you. A hell of a lot less then you do." He pulled a small device from is pocket. "But one worth paying to catch you." He pressed a button on it and threw it at Valor. It did it's work, and Valor stopped. "Cha chi-UAGH!!" He started, but was interrupted by a punch to the gut,then kicked in the face.
Before he even knew what had happened, the man was on the ground in a daze.
Valor continued walking for a while after that. A few hours later, he saw a child.

The child looked up at Valor. Slowly a smile went across his face. "Hi, mister! My name's Pepper! What's yours?" The boy in rags asked cheerfully. There was no one else around besides Pepper and Valor.

Valor looked down at the boy silently. "Where are your parents?" He asked hoarsely after several minutes.

"They're... Not here." Pepper said, glancing at the ground sadly for a moment then looking back up at Valor. "But that's okay! This way I have a head start on being tough when I become a knight! That means I'm even more tougher than the knights who just started out!" He said with a grin.

"A knight huh? How very brave of you." A hooded man walked up to the duo and sat down upon the path. "So, kid... you think you'd make it far?" Taking a canteen from his pocket, he opened it and took a sip.
His voice seemed oddly familiar...

"... A knight?" Valor asked, picking up the kid by the collar. "You're an orphan. You can't be a knight unless you've got influential parents. That's how things are. You'll only end up a thug." He ignored the man behind him. "Better to just give up now. The only thing you could hope to be the knight guardian of is your own back."

"I don't even have parents at all! I'll be able to take on anything if I try hard enough!" Pepper managed to say despite being held up by his collar. "And if I can't be a knight then I'll be a mercenary or something! Either way I'm going to become a household name! Like the Raines and all of their companions are! They're heroes in the town I live in!" The boy said, not giving into Valor's words at all.

"Well... looks like Valor is just a big nobody, considering his past." That's when Shinta unveiled his face. "Shinta Raine, pleased to meet ya kid." Offering his hand, he grinned his usual goofy grin.

"Such steadfast..." Valor put his head down and shook his head. "I see..." He looked to the sky. "I'd forgotten." He turned around. "Shinta. You needn't have come here." He put the boy down. "Despite your steadfast determination... You'll die before you can acomplish any of this in your standing." He closed his eyes. "... I think... That I will be leaving soon. But I need a successor... A legacy." Valor kneeled in front of the boy, his eyes almost glowing as he looked at pepper. "I am giving you an offer. Join me. I am giving you the chance to become knight guardian to the entire world, and take on my curse of solitude. You may decline and stay on your path... It is entirely up to you."

"Curse of solitude... It can't be that bad!" The young boy said. "Nothing is really isolated if you think about. But I'll take on this challenge! At the very least it'll help me get started." Pepper spoke to Valor and then turned and shook Shinta's hand.
"Mr. Shinta... Why are you stalking Mr. Valor for?" Realization then covered his eyes. "WAIT! You said Shinta Raine! OH MY YULIA! I thought you'd be... less stalker-ish."

"He... kinda deserves it this time. Have you seen what he's been doing? Wanted posters... drinking... just want to make sure he doesn't blow up the world, kid." Shinta scratched the back of his head.
"Either way... I'm NOT a stalker! My Yulia!!! So what now? You want an autograph or something?" He sighed jokingly.
"Yo Valor, you and I need a nice conversation."
*******
"So, how did it go?" A feminine voice called out to Nym. She bore blue hair and blue eyes...
It was indeed the great-grandchild of Alicia, Shinta's daughter from so long ago...

"I think... You need to have that conversation with your nephew. He's gotten himself into a mess I may not be able to get him out of... And also... As I'm sure Terios didn't tell you, Reis is dead." He looked at Pepper. "Let's go. We need to start immediately." He held a purple orb in his hand. "You're human, right? You'll need this."

"What is that?" Pepper asked his new master, looking at the orb curiously. "Is it going to make me into an Angelus? Or a Dragoon?" He asked, not knowing what the orb could contain.
~~~~~ ~Nym~
"Horribly." Nym answered her companion with a deep sigh. "I thought for sure I could convince him... I had the determination but nothing backed up my words since he didn't even know me." She said, her sadness now obvious as she stared at the ground in Werites Beacon.

"Hey cheer up. It's our job. Who said a job was easy anyways?" The young woman smirked in response as she patted her friend on the back. Vivian glanced at the dragoon and grinned. "How about we get some ice cream first. My treat?" She gave a thumbs up. She was a strange one indeed, but knew how to cheer anyone up by drawing them away from the failure.
*****
"Great..." Shinta rolled his eyes. "What's he gonna do to try and kill everyone? Look, just leave the boy alone, dude."
