By the way I do not hold any rights or ownership to Breath of Fire 2 Capcom has beaten me once again

CURSE YOU CAPCOOOOOMMMM

A light wind blew through the valley, passing over the tall grass land swaying every green blade to and fro turning the ground into a makeshift sea of green clashing with the bright blue waters which crashed up against the rocky cliff face. Fish and other sea life scurried along the water's edge hoping to nab an insect who had ventured too close to the surface which shone from the mid-afternoon's sun. Alone sitting on the edge of the cliff A young man sat, a makeshift pole resting stationary between his legs, his long dark blue hair fluttering lightly in the breeze as he had fallen asleep from the lack of bites and tugs on his fishing line. He had come here for some peace and quiet away from the noisy town down below the hill. He was always most comfortable in the wilderness, the sounds of the trees, the feel of the sun warmed earth beneath his worn feet. Somehow he had never truly felt part of human society, like there was something that would never allow him to be a part of them.

As a child he had been raised in the small town of Gate with his father Ganter and his sister Yua who was usually getting herself into trouble, wandering off into the wood behind the village to play, and every time he would have to go and bring her back, sometimes he didn't have any problems, but a couple of times he came back beaten up either by a wild Slime or a Beak. She had gone there many times speaking of talking to the massive frozen dragon which barred an entrance to a cave in the mountain; he had heard some of the villagers saying that the Dragon had fought to protect the town against the demon. Yua had even began to call it mother though they're mother had died 3 years before when the large demon had attacked the village.

When they're father took Yua back home he decided to sleep near the great beast to prove his little sister wrong, only after that when he awoke suddenly from a nightmare of a Demons eye that almost looked into his very being he found none of the villagers knew who he was or his sister or father, no matter how hard he had cried and screamed no one knew him. So he finally rested on finding shelter and food within a church in town.

But that same night another orphan had turned up looking for sustenance and shelter…..and anything that wasn't nailed down. His name was Bow Doggy a member of the Kobold Clan, offering him to come with him and make it rich with him, he could still remember that night clearly. He had cried himself to sleep again but was soon woken up by the pup sleeping next to him rustling through every drawer and closet. He rubbed his eyes and saw the young Kobold pocketing everything even the Candle by the bedside.

"What are you doing?"



"What's it look like I'm takin' anything worth selling, why you gonna wake up Father Hulk, or maybe you wanna' piece of the action?" He smiled with one long K9 showing.

Ryu looked down so as not to let the Dog see his tear stained cheeks.

"No do whatever you want just leave me alone" he didn't like the idea of stealing from anyone especially someone who was putting food in his belly. The Dogboy just shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh well more for me then" He again went back to looking through cloths, "Hey who's Yua?" He asked clipping a couple of gold buttons from a shirt. At the mention of that name Ryu sat straight up in bed he looked at the thief with an almost frantic look.

"Do you know Yua? Have you seen her before? Tell me!"

The Dogboy put his paws over Ryu's mouth talking in an urgent hushed voice "Shh Shh geeze you tryin' to get me caught ya dunce" Ryu pulled his paws off his mouth.

"BUT YOU…..you said you heard her name" Ryu talked lower but the urgency in his tone didn't leave for a second. The thief sighed and scratched the back of his head.

"Nah I just over heard you sayin' her name in yer' sleep kinda sounded like you were cryin' too"

Ryu took that as teasing "Shut up I…I wasn't crying (sniff) it's just sleep in my eyes…whatever just go away and leave me alone" Ryu fell back onto the bed gripping the sheets tightly, her name had brought back all his loneliness. The Pup stopped his pillaging and sat on the end of the bed. He couldn't figure what to think of this boy.

"Sorry 'bout that I wasn't teasin' honest, but hay were kids were supposed ta cry sometimes otherwise we'd be grown up's, but come on do ya really wanna spend all yer life livin' with that dinosaur downstairs, I don't know about you but someday I'm gonna make it rich in this world I can't just sit here and waste my life, I wanna see the world, all of it, and meet new people"

"And take their stuff too huh" Ryu said still covered by the sheets.

"Yeah that too I guess, guess I'm just a thief at heart" he laughed and Ryu even chuckled a little finally bringing his head out. He looked at the smiling Puppy he hadn't had a friend since the town had changed. The puppy walked over to Ryu and extended his tiny paw to him.

"Come on let's make it big somewhere, steal and get rich whadda' ya say buddy" He said a mischievous glint in his eye. Ryu's eye's brightened at hearing this, everyone in this village now treated him like a ghost or a weird child but this Pup wanted to be his buddy. Smiling he took the paw as the pup helped him up and put some of the loot in his arms.

"Oh by the way my name's Bow Doggy what's yours" he asked packing the rest of the loot in a sack.

"I'm Ryu Bateson nice to meet you Bow"



"Likewise"

After they had all they could carry they tip toed passed Father Hulk's study, a dim candle light coming from under the door.

'Geeze does that mummy ever sleep' thought bow as they crept out of the church and stealing away from the village and into the night. Ryu stopped just outside the town's border and looked back. He swore right then to find Yua again no matter what. They had decided to go into the next town to see what else they could lift but halfway there dark clouds came to shower them with heavy rain and lightning.

"Man where did this storm come from?" Ryu shivered his and Bow's cloths sopping wet. Bow looked around. Out a little north in the distance he spotted a cave, it looked big enough to shelter them.

"I don't know but I think we can use that cave until the storm passes" He said pointing in the direction of the cave. Ryu nodded as they trekked through the mud and rain for an hour before finally getting inside the entranceway. They both sat down to catch their breath; Bow shook himself dry which unfortunately Ryu caught the brunt of while ringing out his shirt.

"Thanks Bow" he said dryly wiping his face.

"Anytime"

After a few minutes they got up to find that the cave actually led much deeper into the mountain. Bow dropped his pack and fished out the candelabra from the church and lit it with a match. The low glow from the candle illuminated the cavern just enough to see a few feet in front of them, the rest was pitch dark. Bow gulped nervously.

"H-hey Ryu maybe we should just stay at the entrance, it'll be morning soon so we can find another town tomorrow"

Ryu barely heard him, the instant he had entered the cave something was telling him to venture further, he couldn't explain it but there was something here. He took the candle fixture from Bow and smirked.

"Oh come on Bow you said it yourself you wanted to see the world well here's some of the world, so let's explore…..unless you're a scared widdle puppy" Ryu added a mock puppy whimper to escalate his point. Bow's cheeks went red with embarrassment.

"I'm not a little puppy; I just don't see the point in getting ourselves kill..."

It was too late Ryu had already started down the winding tunnel the glow from the candle was all he could see. Suddenly he realized he was now alone… in the dark…by himself, he whimpered a little and thought about staying at the entrance till dawn but all that was put away when a stray drop of water from a stalactite landed right on the back of his neck causing Bow to yip out loud.



"RYU WAIT UP!!" he yelled dashing toward the glow incidentally nearly pushing Ryu down. Ryu looked back and opened his mouth to comment but Bow gave a low growl, "Not one word Ryu "Ryu clamed up and kept up the pace Bow following close behind. Ryu scanned the spacious caverns, small animals running through the dark, the massive stalactites that reached down from the ceiling, the sounds of their footsteps that echoed down the long corridors. But every step further Ryu felt his chest tighten in anticipation, as if something was waiting for him just up ahead. After an hour or so of walking Bow sat down to rest his paws. Ryu turned a little irritated.

"Bow come on we have to keep moving"

Bow rubbed his foot paws, the hard cave ground was not being forgiving "Ryu we have been walkin' for an hour and we haven't found anything besides my dogs are killin' me, what's your hurry anyway" he said pointing to his foot paw.

"I don't know but we can't just sit here forever so get off of that rock and let's get a move on" Ryu turned to face the light further down but Bow's face suddenly went white.

"R-Ryu I-I'm not sitting on a rock" Bow's 'chair' whipped right out from under him causing Bow to land flat on his backside. Ryu shone the light on the slithering thing as it snaked across the ground leading deeper into the tunnel. Bow nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw it but kept his cool, he was going to prove to Ryu he wasn't a scardy puppy, mustering up all his courage he walked passed Ryu.

"Let's follow it"

Ryu nodded and held the light up high to follow the black snake like thing deeper and deeper into the darkness, until it led then straight to an open cavern. As they stepped through it the light from the candle filled the cavern as they're gaze went straight up….they had found who's as they now realized 'tail' belonged too.

The great Demon Stood a massive 30 feet tall towering over the young adventurers, its body was a frightening cross between a crab and a worm; Large Black scales covered its body, it had no feet but 6 curved Giant claws that clacked against the stone floor, Great arms that could span a whole house with 4 Giant Razor sharp claws on each hand. But its most frightening feature was the three eyes centered on its head, they glowed like hell fire in the blackness. Bow was now a quivering mass.

"Ryu!! It's a demon run WE HAVE TO RU…" But he was cut short as the Monsters long tail came around to shove Bow against the cold hard cave wall rendering him unconscious.

"BOW!!"Ryu looked at the slumped over form of his friend fearing the worst. Then something happened, the demon opened its gaping jaws and spoke.

"Are you saying you are the one? Are you saying you are the child for the mission?"

Ryu turned away from Bow and locked eyes with the Monster, His blood pulsated and reacted to it, as he stared into the eye's and somehow with no fear "I don't know who or what you are but you hurt Bow 

I'LL KILL YOU!!" he then grabbed a stick that was on the ground and charged forward toward the beast with fierce intent to make him pay for hurting his friend.

"If you are the destined child then prove it whelp"

"Huh" Ryu awoke his hands had left the fishing pole and were now gripping the large katana that rested on his back. Shaking the memories of the dream away as he ran his worn swordsman's hands through his Dark Blue hair, Looking down he sighed 'Damn not even a nibble, must have dosed off' he sat up and stretched out the kinks he had acquired from sitting on the ground for the past 4 hours. He looked out to the setting sun; its orange light would fade in another two hours and nightfall would come littering the road home to Township with thieves and just plain ner do wells.

"God, has it really been a year since then", He began remembering all the adventures him and all his friends had. He would sometimes wish they could all be together again like that, even the hard times he missed but everyone had gone back to their own families or homes. Rand had stuck around Township for a bit but decided to return to his mother's ranch in Hometown, though she had met her untimely death at the hands of Habakeru while saving her son. He said it's what his mom would have wanted. Sten had traveled back to Highfort to try and make up for his cowardice in a battle long ago, the last Ryu had heard was he was now Co-General of Highfort along with Trubo, Highfort was now one of the best lead kingdoms in the land. Bow of course was probably waiting for Ryu to come home to entertain him before he died of boredom. Nina after Mina had given herself to become the Great Bird and her father's age had decided to take over as reigning monarch to Windia, She now also is the Archmage of Windia's new magic academy. Jean had also gone back to Simafort to take his right to the throne along with his sister Tapete. Spar had said he had more he wanted to learn from Ganadoof the Great Tree. Bleu had gone back to her tomb and went back to sleep. But Katt no one had seen or heard from for a whole year now though repeated attempts to contact her were tried. Ryu never did worry though he did miss her, besides Bow he had connected with Katt most of all, they both liked to train and they both liked nature, Nina would sometimes complain about bugs crawling up her skirt, then Katt would turn and say something like

"Well you could always go all natural Nina then you could see the bugs easier"

But Ryu did not worry she was more than capable of handling herself he would even feel pity for any thief or assailant who tried something on the fiery redheaded Worren. If there was one thing she loved to do it was fight.

He was sure she would turn up sooner or later. He decided to get moving before dark so he packed up his pole and bait and trekked toward Township. A little ways down the road he kept hearing small branches snap along the side of the pathway. Someone was tailing him, what they wanted he didn't know, but as a precaution he unclipped his katana. He decided to let the figure try whatever they were going to try then be done with it. Near the end of the pathway out of the forest the assailant leapt high into the air clawed paws gripped tightly around her staff as she swung for Ryu's head.

"GOTCHA NOW SCALEBOY!!"
