Searching
Everyone searches for something even if they don't always know. They are searching for freedom, searching for adventure, searching for knowledge, searching for honor, searching for fun, searching for revenge, searching for love or simply searching for something to search for.
Lucca's life had been rather boring lately or maybe it appeared to be that way because she wasn't off saving the world anymore so now her life looked boring in comparison. She was as genius as ever and her inventions blew up less often now. Seeing the future brought new challenges for her mind. Even if that future that was changed was in ruins she still had the chance to catch small glimpses of what was left of the advance civilization from before. She was bringing the future to the present little by little even if not everyone saw it that way.
She missed Robo she missed repairing him and giving him maintenance and learning about his technology. She wanted to make a robot of her own. One much more advanced than Gato. She wasn't looking for a replacement for her dear friend she was looking for a new friend. Friendship, that's another thing people often search for. Most of the time they are aware of the goal of their search or at least they think they are but sometimes they don't know until they find what they're looking for.
Lucca stared up into the clear blue sky. She was planning to sit there in that clearing for the rest of the afternoon as she had in the past few weeks when it didn't rain. She had brought a pencil and papers along to keep busy drawing plans for new inventions. This is something that she would usually do in her room if she felt like working alone or in the living room when she was working with her dad. But she felt tired of the same scenery of the house, not that she didn't like the house. It's just that she wanted to go somewhere else. The fresh air might help her get new ideas or so she kept telling herself but she didn't know what she was searching for, yet.
A soft breeze began to blow but Lucca ignored it. She was sitting on a tree trunk with a book on her lap and a paper on top of the book. Several more papers were folded inside the book. The pencil in her hand was carried slowly and precisely on the paper's surface creating shapes, numbers and small notes with words that had been abbreviated in such a way that only the one who wrote them could later read them.
The soft breeze became a little stronger but not enough to bother Lucca. She wondered how that same soft wind would feel from the top of a tower at Guardia Castle and suddenly remembered a certain someone who thought he was the wind. She shook her head and pushed away the thoughts. Crono and Marle were busy now as king and queen since Marle's father decided to retire leaving them to assume the throne. They still got together to talk about anything and everything every now and then but Lucca felt as if it wasn't the same. They had change which isn't necessarily bad but she had stayed the same. Change is another thing people search for.
She wondered if she would stay the same forever or if one day her life will move on to the next stage except she wasn't sure what the next stage was for her. She wasn't like other people, she was different she had always been different. She was fascinated by things that most of the human population of her time completely ignored. She wanted to learn and she wanted to invent it was something she will always do. But what else was there besides that? Another adventure maybe? To do what? Lavos had already been defeated and there was no need to time travel. She had thought about going exploring but kept telling herself that she should not mess with the time flow out of boredom alone. A cure for boredom is another thing to search for.
The drawing on the paper began to become more clear. The shapes were not only shapes now but part of a structure. The little notes and arrows pointing to certain parts of the diagram were more abundant now all around the main drawing. Tonight she would work on the prototype. Yes, tonight unless something more interesting happened but that is not likely. Another evening with her machines, she liked that but a little change every now and then is not bad. To bad very few people existed that could understand her or even tried.
The wind blew harder all of a sudden. The paper slipped away from Lucca and the wind carried it further from her. She quickly stood and ran after the paper. The wind started to become weaker again and it turned to a soft breeze once more. The paper had stopped at a man's feet. Lucca stood there for a moment watching him in surprise.
He picked up the paper and looked at it. "This is yours?" She nodded and took the paper he was holding out to her. "Aren't you a little old for such doodles?" Magus arrogantly asked.
"They're not doodles they're plans for a new invention I'm going to make" Lucca said folding the paper in half and placing it inside the book. She put the pencil behind her ear and asked. "What are you doing here?"
"Searching" His answer was simple and short yet incomplete and so general it didn't give her any real information.
"Searching for Schala?" Lucca asked. She thought he would go in search of his sister in their era of origin but then again Schala could be anywhere. Maybe he gave up but Magus wasn't the kind to give up.
"I already know what happened to her" He started to slowly walk away.
A little curious and not about to let him ignore her Lucca followed. "What happened?"
"You do not need to know that" Magus replied coldly.
Lucca was about to give him a piece of her mind but stopped. Maybe Schala wasn't the best subject to discuss with Magus. "What are you searching for?"
"You're full of questions aren't you?" He paused. "Nothing, nothing really" The search had ended.
