What? No reviews? Please, people, review! That's what keeps me going. Anyway…

Final Fantasy III: Darkness and Light

Chapter Three: Tales of Ur

************************************************************************

Elder Topapa stood, silent as the grave, after Luneth finished his explanation.

"So," the old man said slowly, "Was that all that happened?"

"Yes, sir." Luneth said respectfully.

"It seems rather far-fetched, but I believe you. I don't know why, but I do. Now, there is the problem of Nina…"

"What about her?"

"She… is not your real mother!"

"…So? You told me that years ago!"

"Did I? …Oh."

"Old man…" Luneth began.

"Elder." Topapa corrected.

"Sorry, Elder. What should I do?"

"Tell Nina that you are leaving. Then go to the storehouse, and collect the items there. Then you must prepare to leave."

Luneth did as he was told.

************************************************************************

"No! I knew this day would come, but not now! Not so soon! Oh, Luneth! You can't go!"

Luneth groaned. She was always like this. She had always been a drama queen, for as long as he could have remembered.

"But alas! The elder commands it! You must leave Ur, and not return till the quest is complete! But when shall that be? When shall the day come when I see you again?"

Having had enough of his mother's antics, he replied: "Firstly, the elder didn't command me to go, he commanded you to let me go. Secondly, while I do have to leave Ur, I can still come back. I'm not banished until I finish the quest. Finally, I have no idea when this all ends, but I have a feeling that it won't end in less than a couple of days. Good day, mother."

Luneth then left Nina, who was still moaning about how terrible fate was, and hadn't noticed that her adopted son had left.

************************************************************************

"Ghosts do so exist!"

"Yeah!"

"Come on, Arc! We know that you're nothing but a chicken!"

"Bok bok bok! Chicken!"

Arc was surrounded by three annoying little boys. He ignored them, until they started to pelt him with stones.

Luneth arrived on the scene. "Leave him alone!"

The three boys, who were natural cowards, ran away. Luneth walked towards Arc, hoping to comfort him.

But Arc simply pushed Luneth aside, and ran away, leaving his friend confused and befuddled.

************************************************************************

Luneth walked out of Ur. He had many fond memories of it. But now it was time to leave. He took one more look at it, before walking onwards, to Kazus.

Please Review! Not much to say at the moment. Next chapter I'll begin to introduce OCs.
