Well here's chapter 2. A little longer than chapter 1. Hope you enjoy it.

The situation

Chapter 2

Lucas and Boney strolled throughout New Tazmily Village. New Tazmily was a quiet place with a great mixture of modern technology and the old days. Lucas often loved walking through the village, as it often reminded him of his journey he took almost a year ago. As the two walked through the village, it brought back memories for both of them.

First, they passed the Yado inn. Lucas remembered how tiny it was when he was little. Now it was a big hotel where people visiting the village often stayed at. Being a five-star hotel, People from all over the Nowhere islands often came to stay. Mostly they come for the great service, but often to see the sights in Tazmily.

Then there was the store, which used to be Thomas' bazar. Thomas' bazar was a place where you could trade items. Now it was a store where you just buy and sell items. Lucas missed the old bazar, even though he didn't fully understand what went on there.

"Hey Boney, would you like to visit mom and Claus?" Lucas asked.

"Woof. (Do we have time? We don't want to be late for the party.)" Boney barked.

"We still have some time. A quick visit wouldn't make us late." And with that, the two walked over to what Lucas called "Sunflower hill".

The hill was full of sunflowers. At the top was a grave. It was Hinawa's grave. She was the wife of Flint, daughter of Alec, Lucas' grandfather, and mother of the twins Lucas and Claus. After a tragic accident involving a Mechanical Drago, Hinawa was killed protecting the two twins. The whole village was put in despair when she died. Flint was even put in jail after hearing about it,for he had a mental breakdown.

Next to her grave was another grave. This grave looked fairly new compared to the one next to it. It was Claus' grave. He was the brother of Lucas, son of Flint and Hinawa, and grandson of Alec. Claus went to avenge his mom's death, telling Lucas to stay behind. However he didn't succeed. After three years of searching for him, Claus reappeared as the Masked Man, commander of the pigmask army, an army who had different intentions on the world. He was under control of the Pig king, Porky, and fought Lucas to prevent him from changing the world. However Hinawa's spirit broke through Porky's mind control and freed Claus. Angry at himself for hurting the people he cared for, Claus committed suicide. No one knew this except Lucas, Flint, Boney, and their other two companions.

"Are you ok Lucas?" A voice from behind asked.

Lucas and Boney turned around to see Duster, One of Lucas' friends. Wearing a blue shirt, brown boots, and red pants, Duster looked like he normally did. He limped over to the two.

"Duster what are you doing here?" Lucas asked.

"Kumatora sent me to find you. She wanted to make sure you weren't skipping her party." He replied. Kumatora was Lucas' other friend. She was also the one hosting the party.

"It already started?" Lucas asked. "It's still early though."

"A lot of people have already gathered there. She's waiting for you. You are the guest of honor."

"Well last thing I want to do is to keep her waiting." He started walking off. "I really don't want to get a Pk Fire to the face."

Duster ran after Lucas. "Or a Pk Freeze to the knee." He joked.

Boney started barking wildly, which caused the two to stop.

"What's wrong Boney?" asked Duster.

Hidden in the sunflowers was a fox. It had silver fur and orange-brown eyes. It seemed to be wearing socks, but no shoes. As soon as Duster and Lucas spotted it, it ran off.

"What was that?" asked Duster.

"A silver sock fox." Lucas replied. "It often comes up here and sits by the sunflowers for some reason. I don't know why, but it seems to love being up here."

"Maybe it's just paying it's respects to Hinawa and Claus."

"Woof! Woof! (I don't trust that fox! It makes me feel odd!)" Boney barked.

"Well it's gone now so let's get going." Lucas said.

Lucas walked down the hill with Duster behind him. Boney looked around the hill one more time, then ran to catch up to Lucas and Duster.

Someone should know who the fox is :D

Next time, the three reach osohe castle and are greeted by Kumatora!
