Isken’s eyes followed a cloud as he lay daydreaming on the soft grass. The many students began to walk to their next classes. He lifted himself up from the ground and sat for a while, too lazy to attempt to stand.

He nodded his head approvingly as three girls walked by him. He scanned their bodies, starting with their legs, stopping briefly at the short skirts and finally to their faces. He stood and began to follow them smugly, his hands in his pockets as he strutted with pride.

“Well, hey there, pretty thangs.” He stopped in front of them smiling gently. “Now, here I was looking for a pretty flower to give to a girl, and here I am, in front of the most gorgeous women I’ve ever seen, totally with out anything but my fragile body.”

His sad attempts at flirting seemed to impress the girls enough to allow him to put his arm around two of them. They giggled with joy as they all walked indoors.

“Isken, isn’t your SeeD exam today?” One of the girls asked softly. “I hope you don’t get hurt…”

“Baybeh!?” Isken paused with his mouth open wide. “You have absolutely nothing to fear. Whatever I’m up against should be scared. I once killed a T-Rexaur with one swoop to the heart!”

“Oh, you’re so great Isken!!!” One of the girls jumped on her feet embracing him with a hug.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, Allison.” He balanced her on her feet after breaking away from the long hug and turned to her with a cheeky grin. “I only hope they don’t have enemies like you… cutie.”

“Um, Why not Isken?” She asked quickly.

“You’re just so gosh, damn, frikkin’ sexy I wouldn’t be able to participate in battle, I‘d be too busy trying to win you over with my sword skills…,” He said coolly.

“Oh! You‘re the best Isken!!!” She smiled stood on her toes and leant for a kiss which he without a single doubt accepted. “Tell me more about your childhood tales.”

“Oh, uh…” He thought quickly to himself. “There was one time I was in the cruel deserts of Centra, my father, Hyne rest his soul, was positioned on cactaur Island. I was 7 at the time, but out of nowhere, this cactaur up the size of my stomach spat loads of needles at me. Now… these barbs weren’t like your everyday cactaur needle… they were poisonous.”

“Oh my!” Allison’s said clutching his shoulder.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, Baybeh.” He paused. “So anyways, while I was dying in the cruel deserts of Centra, I wouldn’t go without a fight… so I plucked every single needle off his body after casting Ultima on him. The little bugger ended up hating me…”

“So how did you survive--” The teenage girl asked, her eyes full of sadness.

“Well…, my daddy found me. He carried me back to land and I was okay.” he smiled cheerfully.

“Can you teach me how to use Ultima one day!?” The girl begged as she shook with excitement.

“Sorry Baybeh.” Isken lowered his head gently. “The Garden is too near, if I used it near here… well, loads of people could get injured.”

“Oh… That‘s so kind, you‘re so brilliant and smart Isken.”One of the girls smiled as she stroked his ego. “Well, we better get to class… see you later Isken.”

The girls giggled as they left the smug teenager, who rested himself on a bench, he put his arms behind his head and smiled with pride. “There’s not a woman in this school I can’t get…”
