ee...eeee! You know, I automatically parsed this as DQ8, and then was like "...who are Cristo and Alena? Why do those names sound familiar...?" Heee! Oh man, I never thought I'd see DQ4 fanfic! ^_^ I always liked Alena a lot. She was spoiled at first, but in the end she turned out to be pretty kickass (I mean...princess...who uses CLAWS! <3!) And poor Cristo, having to deal with her being...herself. :)
