Tales of Symphonia Story, Tethe'alla Chronicles (3)

QUIZ START: You, Regal, and Genis worked together to cook dinner after you got out of the canyon, deciding to wait until the next morning before heading to Altessa's

That night...you had another dream. But...you weren't part of it. You were sitting on top of a grassy hill nearby. At the bottom of the hill, that girl with green hair was cooking something... That scent you remembered floated to your nose. *Oh...she cooked the spices. But...wait...doesn't that mean that...*
"Martel?" asked a voice, a woman. Their voice... Sounded like yours, only... a little deeper, like she...was older.
Hm? Oh, hello Aura!"
"!" *A-Aura!?* you think, stiffening, *Me?* a woman walked over to the girl. She was so beautiful....and looked like you. But older. Her hair was a bit longer, and her eyes were grey instead of silver. She walked over to the girl, and kneeled next to her,
"What are you doing?"
"I'm making Curry!" she responded smiling. When you smelled...smoke,
"M-Martel..!? The spices are burning!!"
"Huh!?" everything in the pan...burst into flame. "A-ah!"
"Get back!" the older 'you' pushed her away from the fire "Kratos! Yuan! //\\!!" *I cant' hear the name...again!* you think, frustrated. There was a loud yell,
"Aqua Edge!" a younger boy's voice. Suddenly the fire was out, and both girls were drenched,
"Aura! Martel!" Yuan, Kratos, and that boy ran to the campsite. Kratos took the 'older yous' hand and helped her stand. She squeezed out her hair,
"Are you alright?" he asked. She smiled softly, and nodded,
"Yes. //\\" she looked to the boy, "Thank you for helping us put out the fire." to your surprise, the little boy blushed,
"Heehee....Um... Thanks. I-I'm sorry I got both of you wet." he added.
"Don't worry." the woman assured,
"Yeah." the older 'you' agreed, "Just...don't use Fireball to dry us off. Ok?" They all laughed good-naturedly. You smile a bit, wrapping your arms around your knees,
"...They're... They're so happy..." you murmur, "Hm..." you look at that older woman. She...looked so much like you...

Then you woke up, back around the fire with the others. Sheena, Raine, Regal, and Genis were all up as well. The sun had partially risen already; it was early morning. After a little while, Colette, Lloyd, and Zelos all woke up too.
As you all get on the Rheairds, you glance back to where you were sleeping for a second, before turning back to your Rheaird, *That woman...could she...? But... There's no way for her... She can't be me...* Then you all board the Rheairds, and fly away from the canyon.

You reach Altessas in a matter of hours, rather than days, or weeks. *Wow... Too bad we didnt have these earlier...* you think. Then, you land at Altessas,

After walking inside, the smell of spices was everywhere and it was especially strong, because Tabatha was currently cooking.
"HMM HMM HMM" she hummed while she cooked,
"Hi." Lloyd greeted,
"Hello, Tabatha." you agree,
"LLOYD, MISS AURA. WELCOME." Tabatha agreed, turning to you,
"Sorry to bother you, Tabatha." you tell her,
"Yeah.. We've got a favor to..." Lloyd continued, but then he smelled the spices "Hmm? Whats that wonderful smell?"
"I JUST FINISHED MAKING CURRY." Tabatha informed you both,
"Curry!" you say, "That's what I remember!!" That was the dish that girl burnt, she was trying to make Curry!
"Th...thats it!" Lloyd told her "We need a recipe for a spicy dish!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" asked Tabatha. Then you and Lloyd explained what the Gnomelette wanted. "I UNDERSTAND. HERE IS THE RECIPE." and she gave you a piece of paper with the Curry recipe on it.
"Thank you." you tell her. She nodded,
"AND HERE ARE THE INGREDIENTS. CURRY REQUIRES THREE INGREDIENTS: RICE, ONION, AND RED SATAY." she handed Lloyd a small batch of ingredients, wrapped up in a small cloth to make carrying it easier.
"Thanks! You're a big help!" Lloyd told her sincerely.
"YOU BOTH ARE WELCOME." Then you all leave, boarding your Rheairds and heading back to the canyon.

Soon you arrive back at the Temple of Earth, and go back to where the Gnomelette was.
"Who will cook?" asked Regal as you all gathered around where the Gnomelette was waiting,
"I'll do it." you volunteer,
"Hmm? Okay, uh..." Lloyd looked around at all of you thoughtfully, "Um... Aura?"
"You didn't burn those in your memory right?" asked Genis. Referring to the spices, you laugh, shaking your head,
"No. It wasn't me." Everyone took a break while you cooked, sitting down and sitting around the campfire that you started.

After...you gave everyone some of the Curry you made, and then gave some to the Gnomelette.
"There you go." you tell him.
"Oh! So this is 'spicy'!" the Gnomelette said. He quickly scarfed the whole bowl of curry,
"What do you think?" you ask,
"Oh! Spicy! Spicy!" *...Did I not make it hot enough?* you think, because he didn't seem affected by spiciness at all. Lloyd gave him a blank look,
"He probably doesn't understand what spicy is..." he said.
"Ah... I tried really hard on to make that too..." you sigh.
"W-wow!" Genis commented. You turned back towards where everyone was sitting,
"Hm?" he had just tried the curry you made,
"Aura, this is really good!" he told you.
"Yeah!" Lloyd agreed, "It's spicy, but it's still good. It's just like your Onigiri."
"You should make Curry more often." Sheena agreed. You smile a bit,
"Haha. Okay!"
After everyone finished eating, you all move ahead; the Gnomelette had left some time while you were all eating. But, soon, there was another Gnomelette blocking your way.
