Hi, this use to be Kari Hiwatari here, but I think that it's time for a more original name. Anyway I know that I haven't written any thing in over 2 years, and I can't exactly say that I have too much homework. So I'll just admit that I'm plain lazy.

Now after re-reading my stories I have a hard time deciding if I want to restart them or just fade away, so I'll just update them once more to see if anyone else appreciates my "master pieces." Just kidding there is more grammar mistakes than I can count, so try not to criticize me on them. On with the show.

Thank you susan for telling me Van's parents' name, I know, I'm a horrible fan for not knowing.

It was late spring when Folken left for his dragon quest. Van was dressed in his brother's oversize clothes.

"How long does it usually take to slay a dragon?" Van remembers asking.

"It all depends on Karlyn'd (lady luck/fate) little brother." Folken shift the weight on his back. "If I were to meet a dragon before the next moon, I'll be back in time for the fall festivals."

"You better put me down now brother." Van said as they were approaching a mob of people outside the castle gate.

"Huh? Feeling better already?"

"Brother…" Van replied in an annoyed voice.

"As you wish your highness." The other sibling straightens his back and did a formal bow.

Van just glared.

"That does not suit you, little brother. And neither does those clothes…" After a closer inspection. "…Where did you get them?"

Now it's mid winter, and for the first time in two hundred years, it was snowing…

Short I know, never the less I find that it's better to do lots of short chapters in a short amount of time than the other way around.
