ch. 3

Aika hesitated "well I have two Questions right now...why does she call you Alzu. Didn't you say your name was Zephros?" Alzu smiled."oh, well thats is my name..sorta, it's a little hard to explain"

"what do you mean?"

"well-"

"hey look!" I interupted them so he would't give anything away, luckily thats when the moonstones fell from the sky. Vyse and Aika turned to were I was pointing suprised and watched as the moonstones fell. one had fallen on shrine island.

"...that was a moonstone!"

"a moonstone?" alzu said confused but kept watching the skies as a couple moonstones fell. He had seen one fall onto an island not to far away. "it landed on an island over there"

I smirked "we should go check it out" I glanced over at Vyse "can we?"

vyse smiled "sure! it's been a while since we've seen a moonstone fall from the sky"

I smiled but then it faded when I noticed Fina wasn't here. "where's Fina?"

Vyse glanced over at me "she's at home, I said w'd be back once we found you"

"oh..well then we should go, we could go there tomorrow morning to get the moonstone"

Vyse smiled. "alright"

--the next morning--

Alzu's POV

I was the first to wake and decided to take a walk but before I left I went to get some breakfast.

I don't trust these people, I think we'd be better off alone. Zephros seemed concerned.

'your being paranoid...but then again, leaving sounds good. they won't have to worry about me'

I grabbed a small bag and put some bread and cheese along with some fruits and nuts. Then tied the bag onto my belt and ate some breakfast, and went out the door. I went around walking aimlessly at first as I thought about how I'd leave this god forsaken Island, until I was interruped from my thoughts by a fimiliar voice.

"Alzu where you going?"

I looked to see Maiyuki, it was a bit surprising.

"oh I didn't expect anyone to be awake yet" but then noticed something a bit... odd, on Maiyuki but ignored it.

"I was looking for a way off this Island but I need some sort of weapon"

I looked at Maiyuki curiously.

"what do you mean?"

"well I don't really feel like being here...let's just say I have a bad vibe right now"

"I see?"

"yeah...hey Alzu, you wanna come with me?"

I blink a couple times be fore replying. "sure" this would be a good way to leave... For now.

Maiyuki smiled "great !" she picked up her back pack of stuff, "lets go then.. but first we need weapons and I know just where to buy some"

"but we don't have any money" I looked at her confused.

"correction" she pulled out a black wallet and held it up "you dont have money but I do" she put it back in her pocket and grabbed my hand. "lets go" and she dragged me off to god knows where.

--At the Weaponary shop--

"hello, how can be of assistance" The weaponary shop was quite small, there was the desk up front, the clerk behind it and behind him was the wall of weapons

"I'm looking for a sword of some sort" Maiyuki seemed calm..too calm? Or maybe it was just zephros getting to me with his paranoia.

"right over there" the shop keeper pointed over to the left side of the shop. Maiyuki and I walkedover to the wall of weapons then something caught my attention It was a long sword. I picked it up, it wasn't light but it wasn't very heavy either. I looked over it and tried a few basic sword stances, it was well balanced if used right. I looked over at the price and gave it a skeptical look. it was pretty cheap for a sword of it's quality. it was practically at a steal price but I kept my mouth shut. After all, I wouldn't really want to waste all of Maiyuki's money. I looked over at her to see she was already at the front desk waiting for me, and so I went over to her.

"you good to go?"

I nodded. Maiyuki paid and then we were off.

"You have any idea what were doing now." she said jokingly, I played along with her game.

"no what?" I asked curiously.

"were going to hijack a boat"

I looked at her imediantly like she was crazy, well in a way she was.

"are you insane?! how are we going to do that?"

"just follow me and don't say a word"

I nodded but was now really worried. I followed her as she got past some poeple and we got to a few small boats.

"ok, I need you to make a distraction"

"how?"

"talk to Zephros"

"No!"

she sighed "well do something and then meet me- oh what the hell." Maiyuki pulled me onto the boat and dragged me onto the boat and started it.

"tell them were going to bring the boat up to the next dock for Vyse"

"but-"

"do it!" she ordered.

"ok" I walked out and sure enough people were confused. I told the guy to open the gate so we could bring it to Vyse and they nodded. After that I went back to Maiyuki. "were good to go."

Maiyuki smiled and started to go. I looked up to see there was a boat already there at the top dock.

'I wonder why they let us go?...unless...someone else already-' I was cut off went i lost balance and fell down. I looked up to see Maiyuki was speeding. "Slow down! your going to crash!"

"oh chill out. I've played enough racing games at the arcade to know how to handle speed." She took one hand off of the wheel and started rumaging through her bag with out looking at it, trying to find.. well whatever she was trying to find I hope it wouldn't make us crash!

I looked at her skeptical. "well don't kill us" I got up leaning on the wall for sopport "where are we headed?"

"Sailors Island"

"and where is that?"

"if you come here and see my map then you'll see" she said holding a small map that she pulled from a small bag she was wearing. At least she found it without killing us.

"why are we going there?"

"so we can get a harpoon cannon, at least I think it was there... I can't remember at the moment. Then to valua to pay a visit to someone"

"...?"

Maiyuki seemed determind to get there. 'wonder why she seems so determind..what does she mean by meeting someone?'

A/N: Not much change, I tried adding more detail(detail isn't my forte so yes I know it sucks but at least I'm trying)

Yay!! I got the third chapter up :D well anyway. There's a lot of things that are confusing now but it'll be explained a bit on the next chapter. yeah I know it's short but i'll update asap k
