second chapter, the girls and co travle accross and beach land bridge, it rains and flick goes back to being five, for a while.

oh yeah if i do mention any copyrighted stuff it dosent belong to me never did only my oc's do so remember that.


Flick awoke to the sound of waves, and the smell of the sea. she was laid against Fleet's side, the kitsune fox was munching on some fruit Mi must have tracked down. "Mi…..Mi?" Flick said sitting up. She could see Mi by the sea, with the phoenix. Mi heard Flick and ran to where she was. "Hey its good that your awake again you've been out for 24 hours I was begging to think you were dead……..oh yeah the kit we saved is the thing behind you, she's called Fleet" Mi said looking at the younger girl. Flick looked at the horse sized kit who seemed to smile at her. "The land bridge will take us to serpents heart, it's a beach like land bridge with palms dotted over it. I say about two days journey to the next island town." Fleet said looking out over the land bridge, clouds were starting to gather. As they set foot on the bridge it began to rain a right tropical storm. Puddles began to gather on the sand as the group walked. They improvised by finding two big palm leaves to use as umbrellas. Fleet didn't seem to mind, she was now carrying Flick's guitar and rucksack because originally it was Mischa who was lumped with them, and didn't look to happy bout it. So Fleet took responsibility for the items. The two girls were having enough trouble trying to stay dry.

It was about ten minutes till the rain died down to a drizzle, some of the puddles were deep and to Mi who was watching Flick really thought the supposed teenager couldn't regress any more, Flick stomped round in the puddles like a five year old child would. Truth was Flick had always wanted to do this just Rio had always stopped her from doing so. Flick it seemed had forgotten all reason in her tiny mind, and missed the point that earlier she was trying to keep dry. The hat she was wearing came off her head as she climbed on some rocks landing in a puddle. Mi picked it up, for fear of Flick throwing a tantrum if she lost it. It was all soggy and wet so Mi hung it upside down from one hand by the string that would normally do something to keep it on Flicks head, but the string had failed at the simple task of doing so. The rain completely eased off after a while the puddles were vanishing from ground the sand soaked it up and sun dried it up. Flick had calmed down now, and had made it quite clear that she was hyper and it wasn't her fault which Mi knew was a plain outright lie.

Mi gave Flick her hat back which the girl put back on. The wide rim around the orange hat was water logged and hung in Flicks eyes she couldn't do any thing about it till it dried. To make her self even more wet she swam about in the shallow waters along one edge of the sandy land bridge. "Flick your going to be all squishy as you walk. Come on up here and dry you silly girl." Fleet the kitsune said , Flick must have listed to her because the soggy teen had started to walk up to them. She carried an oyster in her hands. She was trying to pry the giant thing open. The oyster was refusing to open up for her, so Flick decided to wait till it suffocated in the air or dried out. She only wanted to see if it had a pearl in it. She carried it while she walked along with her other companions. It was quite warm. The sea breeze coming from one of the off shore ocean currents heated the air. Flick was drying off at quite a fast rate. Orinoco the phoenix had been previously sent on a scouting mission, ahead of them, phoenix was meant to come back just after night fall. it was almost night fall the sun has began its decent to below the horizon. And a few stars could already be seen.

They made a make shift camp with a drift wood fire, flick lit it, the flames were golden like the sun. and Orinoco had previously come back with a large salmon type fish as well as its scouting report. Apparently the group was almost at the coastal town of serpents heart and it would only be a few hours travel to get them there, they were going to leave for the town in the morning, and were looking forward to the fish and a nice sleep. "Yay!" Flick cried out in celebration the oyster she had carried had finally given up its secret and opened for her. Two Pearls about the size of an average apple were in side it. One was red and gold the other white and blue. Flick hid her new found treasure pearls in her bag, chances were they weren't going to see the light of day again or at least until Flick cleaned out her bag.

As it go darker Mi and Flick began to name the constellations, they could name there were some different ones her to the ones back on earth and, It felt like a new learning experience, for Flick.

Fleet told them the legends of old and how the animals in the sky came to be these tales sent the two girls to sleep. Fleet lay herself round the two girls, as Orinoco too up watcher position in a palm tree.

Fleet it seemed had taken the position of a semi mother to the girls Flick more than Mi who could take care of her self. For it seemed truth kitsune fox that Flick had never had a mother figure to look up to the girl had mentioned something about a sister but it seemed that her sister was never like a mother and fleet decided to be it for the girl. for you see Fleet had offspring in the past but they were taken from her by the same hunters that Flick and Orinoco had destroyed. Fleet fell asleep soon after the girls.

The two girl awoke quite early the next day, the sun wouldn't rise for another half hour. But they woke up any way. Flick dug about in her bag for the elusive hair brush, and found it after searching for a good 10 minutes. Her hair was a huge tangle after getting wet yesterday. And she looked in pain as she forced knots out of her hair. She gave the brush to Mi when she was finished with it. Mi brushed her hair as they walked Fleet had woken up earlier than they had and had taken Orinoco with her to get some fruit. They joined the girls as they set off for the town. Flick was carrying her stuff again. And didn't seem to mind. A cool breeze drifted over the land bridge it was cool and refreshing unlike what they had before.

They lost track of time as they walked the sun was rising to there right. And was lighting up the area, they could make out the small town in the distance the next island was serpents heart it was also the name of the town. The town made up most of the island with only a few acres of wooded hills leading to the marsh bridge they had to next cross. They started to walk faster as the got closer to the town, running the rest, Fleet ran with the girls as Orinoco flew over head.

They reached the town quicker running than any thing else. Flick leaned on a few boxes as she tried to catch her breath she was so unfit, it actually surprised her that she had gotten this far. Mi wasn't out of breath like she was. Than again living on a tropical island with hardly any pollution helps rather than living in built up urban polluted areas. But Flick wasn't much of sporty person any way, so either way she lost. They walked over to a stand selling handmade jewellery. Flick picked up a luck charm in the shape of a small sea turtle. It was cut from a bluish, green sapphire, gold outlined the details with small silver beads as its eyes. She paid for it a put it on the same necklace chain as the lucky ring that Elisa had given her. "I was thinking earlier that I am going to buy a different charm from each town and place I go to and put them on this necklace, that way I'll know were I've been and where I'm going to go, and each charm will have its own story to tell." Flick said looking, at Mi who tried on a gold and ruby bracelet, for something that well made it wasn't priced to high. Mi put it down again and walked off to a stall with yet more things on. Flick could see it in Mischa's eyes that the girl didn't want to ask Flick to get it for her. But Flick bought it any way she was going to surprise Mi with it she just didn't know when.

The two girls sat at a table out side small café. Flick was drinking a strawberry thick shake with whipped cream on the top, And Mi was drinking a tropical fruit smoothey. Fleet went off for a look about and Orinoco had gone off on its own for awhile. It was only a small town where they were but they managed to find a hotel and café with no trouble at all. The hotel they were staying at was called Turtle's Star, it was a small resort island, it wasn't the busy season at that moment and the manager had given them a room to share for half price.

They had hired out two canoes to cross the marsh bridge with so they could get to Serpents Tail, they would stop over at a small village with marsh fishermen in and then walk to the port town on the island called Tail Tip. For now they were going to take the day easy and wait till morning tomorrow when they would continue on thee journey.
