Chapter 1: Lost

Part 1: Naria

W-where am I?

How did I get here?…..

The small mage got up from the ground rubbing his head. He looked around and saw he wasn't on the ship Hilda Garde anymore, instead he was in a forest. The trees were tall and full of life, in like the trees in the Evil Forest. Vivi couldn't understand how he got there. He was confused and scared. He was alone in a foreign land.

I better get out of here……before something else h-happens

Vivi started to walk north hoping that he'll find his friends. As he walked the forest looked like it was getting dense. The trees were on top of each other. He clasps his together. He keeps looking around as the forest got darker and darker.

M-maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all…I don't like this. I want out of this place. It's too scary and lonely…

Then he heard a rustle in a near by bush. He jumped as he heard the noise and looked at the bush. He stared at it for several minutes. Nothing happened, it just stopped what it was doing.

M-maybe it was my imagination. Yeah that's it. It was only my imagination…….

Suddenly a small animal leaped out of the bushes and over the small mage. Vivi fell back as the dog like animal took him by surprise. The creature looked like a Fang with a horn on its forehead. It looked fairly young so Vivi felt he didn't have to fear it. "Unichi! Where did you go?" a young voice called out into the forest. Out from the same bush the Fang like monster jumped out of, a young small mage like Vivi with two great big feathers on its hat came towards him. It stopped when it saw Vivi. It examined Vivi's face. Obviously Vivi looked petrified. One of the feathers on the hat of the other mage lifted slightly. "Did she scare you?" Vivi didn't answer "I guess she did…." A silence fell between them. After couple of minute in silence Vivi finally gathered as much courage as he had. "W-where am I?" he stuttered. The other mage looked at him surprised. How could he not know where he was. " You're in the Narai's Wild Forest…." it walked closer to Vivi. " You're not from around here are you…." Vivi shook his head nervously. This mage was different from the other he countered. It was smaller than he was and it dressed in a deep red jacket with little brown designs. Not to mention it also looked like it was wearing shirt under the jacket. The shirt looked like it had a belt around it. More like around the chest of the mage. "Maybe I should bring you back with me. It could get ugly if I leave you here by yourself. Well, lets start going to the village." The mage mounted itself onto the creature and held out its hand to Vivi. "Come on. It ain't for" Vivi hesitated before taking the hand. The creature trotted for a good half an hour. The two mages hadn't said anything to each since they started to go to the village. "U-um.. What's you name?" Vivi felt like he could trust this other mage. He didn't know why but he just did. The other mage looked back at him "My name is Sazukie. And this is Unichi." She points to the creature that they're riding on. "M-my name is Vivi. Nice to meet you Sazukie" "Same here" After awhile they finally reached a clearing. Massive buildings tower over the mages. Unichi walks into the village of Naria.

Part 2

As Unichi walked through the village Vivi was astounded at what he saw. Bumercians and another species. It looked like cats. There was something else tho. Mages too walked the streets of the village. Each mage was different from one another. One mage wore a dark green jacket with black gloves. Vivi also noticed that they're eyes were different too. Each mage had a different eye color. He was shocked when he saw a few mages with wings but then calmed down when he saw that they bright colored and not black. The small mage boy felt a little jerk when Unichi stopped a little short. Sazukie got off the pup and patted its head. "Grandpapa lives on the top floor. He'll let you stay with him for the night. Tomorrow we'll figure out how you got here. Speaking of which how did you get here?" Vivi got off Unichi and was silent. He fidgeted a little with his hands. "I-I don't remember… I think I fell off the air ship I was on….." Sazukie shrugged and headed for the doors. Vivi followed until reached some sort of a lift. "The lift is faster then walking up all those stairs." It walked onto the lift. Vivi of course hesitated before walking on to it.

Well…she does live here…I guess I should listen to her. Besides nothing happened yet. Here I go.

He walked onto the lift. The other mage pressed a button and then the lift started to move upwards. Vivi held on to the railing for dear life. The other mage kind a guessed that Vivi didn't like heights too much. "It's ok. It'll stop soon" the lift stopped with a jerk nearly causing the mages to fall. "Uuuuu……see. What I tell ya" They both walked into another hallway. Vivi followed Sazukie until she stopped at an oddly looken door. The mage turned the knob and opened it to reveal a very big room. "Ah. My favorite little granddaughter. And you brought a friend wit you as well." A mage that was short and a little heavy greeted both mage children. Vive was surprise to hear 'granddaughter' he didn't know Sazukie was a girl. "I'm sorry grandpapa, but I was wondering if Vivi here could stay with you tonight. He's lost and well he has no where to go…" She looked up at her grandfather. He patted her head and smiled " Of course he can stay here. As long as you come by tomorrow to get him." She nodded than ran off waving at Vivi. Vivi than felt very confused. She brought him here and now she just left him. Arc saw this and put his hand on Vivi's shoulder. "She had to go home. She couldn't bring you there so she left you with me." He knelt down to Vivi's eye level. " What's your name?" Vivi looked at him "M-my name is Vivi sir" Arc chuckled. It's been awhile since someone called him sir. "You may call Arc. Please come inside." The boy walked inside. Arc brought him to the table and Vivi sat down. The old mage brought out some fruits and some smoked fish the young little mage. Vivi ate everything Arch gave him. He was one hungry little mage. "I'll show you where you can sleep. Then tomorrow we'll help you find your way back home" "Thank you A-Arc. *yawns* I just hope noting had happened to my friends" Arc brought him to a small room with a hammock hanging from two poles. Arc helped Vivi into the hammock and pulled the covers to his shoulders. "Know don't worry. You safe here all right" Vivi nodded then drifted off to sleep. Arc quietly left the room for the child to sleep.

Know be nice. Its my first one remember that. Anywho let me know what you all think =]
