"Emily!!!!" The second I got out of customs my entire field of view was taken up by curly brown hair as Blis tackled me with one of her killer hugs.
"Hey Blis. I missed you too." Awkwardly I wrapped my arms around her and squeezed.
"EEP!! Can't... breathe..." I laughed and let her go. I noticed Jack was behind her, laughing at us. And judging from the moving bulge under his shirt, Dojo was here and laughing too.
"Shut up you two." I told them. I started walking towards the baggage claim to get my duffel. My sister and her fiancee followed behind me, Jack still laughing and Blis angrily hissing at him to hush. When I got my bag and turned to them, they both stared at me in amazement.
"Is that all you have?" Jack asked me in surprise.
I nodded. "Yep. I always travel light. Lets get going, I don't like airports very much. They're too noisy."
We walked outside and went to a secluded area near the airport. When we got there, Dojo swelled to his full size and we got on. For most of the way back to the temple we talked. It surprised me that Jack had actually matured from the whiny crybaby he used to be into an actually intelligent man. He still had his moments, but according to Blis they happened a lot less often then they used to. She said that when she had first gotten to the temple, Jack had been exactly as we remembered him.
He had apparently fallen fast and hard for Blis, and when she said it wouldn't work because he was 'evil', he decided to change his ways. In a few months they were going out, and a few weeks ago Jack had popped the question.
I smiled at Blis. "See Blis? I told you that you'd get married before I did."
Blis laughed. "Yeah I know. I never thought that this would actually happen. I mean, you were always so much better with guys then I was! And then when..."
"BLIS!!!!" I cut her off sharply. "No one needs to know about that, thank you very much." She blushed, and Jack looked back and forth between us in confusion.
"What happened?" he asked.
Blis and I both looked at him and said "NOTHING!!!".
Jack just rolled his eyes and muttered "Girls."
Just then, it got dark. I looked around in confusion. "I thought that it was still the middle of the day here," I said.
Blis stared at me for a minute before saying, "Oh, yeah, you haven't been here before. This is the land of Nowhere. It belongs to Chase Young." I raised an eyebrow at her. She frowned. "You know, Chase Young." I shook my head. "Chase Young as in the evil Heylin warlord, dragon-shifter thingy; owns a freaking army of jungle cats, and is also known as The Prince of Darkness? That Chase Young?" I raised my other eyebrow and shook my head. My sister rolled her eyes as Jack said, "Either way, you'd better stay clear of him. He's bad news."
"I'll be the judge of that," I retorted. "I like to get to know people first."
"How interesting." The man stared at the image in front of him.
"What's interesting?" Wuya came up behind him. "Chase? What's interesting?" Chase sighed in frustration but replied, "It would appear that the Dragon of Light's sister has come for a visit."
Wuya looked at him, slightly concerned. "That's interesting? How so?"
Chase smirked. "All things in good time, Wuya. For now, just be content with the knowledge that it's time for another prophecy to begin."
