Authors comments: Okay…here it is again. After this, I might be a little slower at updating it. I really hope this story keeps going though.

Chapter 2- The calling

Hans: Uh…I forget. Where exactly are we going again?

Both Wein and Charlone spun around to face a confused looking Hans who was kicking up dirt on the path behind them.

Charlone: (Sigh) Since you're of SOOO low intelligence, then the average human being; I'll tell you in the most uneducated manner that I possibly can.

Hans: Hey! That sounded like an insult to me!

Charlone: We're heading for Starkberg so that I can visit my family.

Hans: Hey, great! Maybe I can make a stop down over at the orphanage to see my brothers!

Wein: I didn't know you had any brothers Hans?

Hans shifted nervously and began to rub his finger under his nose.

Hans: Well…they're not really my brothers. I just kinda like to think of 'em like that. Ya know, since I don't know exactly who my family is and all.

Wein heard Charlone suck in her breath. He turn towards her and saw a very sad expression on her face.

Wein: ("And here I thought she didn't care about Hans.")

Charlone: We should get going, Captain. We might want to be there before nightfall, otherwise "the runt" might not have much time to visit after we leave my house.

Hans: Wait a minute! Who says we're going to you're place first!

Charlone: It was my idea, therefore, I choose the first location.

Hans: Well why don't we let Wein choose! He is the leader ya know!

Charlone: (sighs) Captain, could you please explain to this RUNT the reason why I'm the one……..(gasp)

Wein had already vanished from their party, and was making a charge for the woods.

Charlone: Captain! Wait!

Hans: Chief! We're ya going!

They both dashed off after him, bolting endlessly in that direction until to their knowledge, from what it appeared, he was out of sight. They both slowly came to a halt...trying to catch their breaths.

Hans: I wonder what sent him off in such a hurry?

Charlone looked up and off in the direction they had previously been following him in.

Charlone: ("Captain…Wein…whatever is troubling you?")

End of Chapter 2
