呵呵~一年前连载了一半就放弃的英文小说又出台了……其实想起来,当时写这篇东东真的是为我提高英语的写作水平立下汗马之功哦。可是当我帖出来后发现怨声载道,说全英文的看得不爽,真正欣赏和读懂的人并不多~~所以一灰心就没再继续帖了。没想到~~~FF8里精华版里一直都保存着这部未完成的连载,直到刚才我才知道,真是出乎意料呢。而且我们的ZYH斑竹也发了公告催帖了,多谢台爱!所以呢,还是硬着头皮继续吧。

不说了,看吧~


NEVER LET YOU DIE

To save Rinoa, Squall has to find out a girl named Ellone on a white SeeD ship, who knew how to deal with the troublesome problem. But when they got on the ship, they were told that Ellone was no longer there, the white SeeD leader asked them to go to Esthar to look for her. Esthar was a place that was hidden in the continent and was divided from outside world, it was such a hidden place that only a few people had ever been there before…

When he got back to Garden, he went to the infirmary, carried Rinoa on his back and went towards the deck, he decided to bring Rinoa to Esthar to meet Ellone by himself. “Sorry everyone…I can’t go on like this.” He thought.

No, he didn’t know what he’s got till it’s gone. In the past, Rinoa was by his side, like a warm piece of sunshine that enveloped him tenderly while he’s never taken it seriously, now the sunshine had suddenly disappeared, remained only haze and cold surrounded him, which made him feel unaccustomed. So he was trying his best to get his sunshine back, he just couldn’t do without her…

After he got out to the deck, he saw a long narrow bridge that was built across the sea, which led to the continent in which Esthar might be. ”It’s a bit far, but we can make it.”

He walked and walked, while Rinoa was sleeping quietly on his shoulder.
“It’s pretty far…didn’t think it would be this far…”he thought, ”What am I doing? Go to Esthar, find Ellone, talk to Ellone…but there’s no guarantee that everything will be resolved if I talk to Ellone…Even so, I’m…sure have changed.”

Not sure how far he has covered, he stopped and placed Rinoa down to have a break. He sat by the edge of the bridge and watched the setting sun.
“I wonder what everyone’s doing? They’re probably laughing at me, or maybe they’re angry?”
“What do you think?” he turned to her and asked.

“To tell you the truth…I worry too much about what others think of me. I hate that side of me, that’s why I didn’t want anyone to get to know me.”
“I wanted to hide that side of myself, I hate it.”
“ ‘Squall is an unfriendly, introverted guy’. It made it easy for me when people perceived me that way.”
He paused, and then turned his face to Rinoa, “that’s a secret between you and me, got that? Rinoa…”

When he got to the continent, he found his companions waiting for him. ”Hey, is the princess still sleeping?” asked Zell.” She may wake up by a kiss from the prince” Quistis answered humorously, which made Squall embarrassing. ”Psst…psst…psst…Rinoa looks so cute when she’s asleep!” added Selphie…
“Hey why are you all here? Have you any business in Esthar??” to divert the subject of the talk, Squall asked. “Hah, why are you so impatient? Are you blushing?” asked Selphie, making fun of him. Everyone laughed except him…

They stopped talking and went on with their journey. Before long, they found a salt flat that was pure white in the east, and the ambience there was rather dreary and horrible as there were many huge dinosaur bones lying in the whole area. They walked through the bone and got to the edge of a cliff. It seemed that there was no way to go. Just at that moment, a strange thing happened----a black hole opened in the air with a ladder that appeared faintly leading to. Since that was the only way out, they decided to climb up the ladder to get in the hole.

After entering the hole, they found themselves standing on a board that was moving at full speed to an unknown place. When the board stopped, the high tech city----Esthar---appeared.

They met Dr.Odine at the president palace, and told him about the purpose in coming, the Doctor promised to let them meet Ellone and asked them to go to Lunar Gate, which was lie in the east of the city.

It was really an amazing city, they had a look around and then left it for Lunar Gate.
Lunar Gate was a launching site, where Squall, Rinoa and Quistis would be undergone the “cold sleep” process and be sent into space, where Ellone was.
