Saved, But still in danger.

"The Wind blows without fail, Fire burns with power, Earth guards all, Lightning strikes and learns." a voice whispers.

"Water Guides and watchs, Ice loves and freezes pain, Light wards all evil." The voice whispers again

"Darkness loveless, watchs nothing, guides no one, wards away all, learns from death, power unmatched, guards only it self, and goes where it pleases."

"Know that you are Not any of these, but all of these, you are nothing, yet something, your fate is written, but only you can Write what is to come."

The whispers stop, and Meikyo awakens.

"Good morning Mei!" Ippy smiled at Meikyo and gives her a bowl of warm oatmeal. Shin was already eating but mostly being quiet.

"Gave me quiet a scare last night, You were sleep walking and you tried to kill a Damselfly!" Ippy looked at Meikyo, worried.

"Are you okay?" Ippy asked and stared till she said something. "I'm okay, I just had a bad dream." Meikyo stirred her oatmeal and stared at it for a while.

Shin hopped up and packed everything up and made an anoucment. "We need to go to Bastok, we all need more potions and our armor is a little old." Ippy Agreed and packed everything into a cart.

'Thats right...its been a week since Shin joined our party, we got a cart to help us travel, Shin and Ippy became closer, I saw them holding hands last night, I learned better spells to help everyone, but it doesnt help much. Ippy doesnt smile at me like she used to, and Shin takes care of me like a big brother...whats happening?' Meikyo thought as she ate her food slowly.

'authers note: As some friendships go, alot fall apart because of things like this, Friends who once thought they knew eachother start to see a void, and friends come closer and others feel pushed away. :O oh by the way, Shin is a monk.'

Some where in a wasteland, a Secret meeting is held by people in black robes.

"Its beautiful how Love and friendship create the most fear and hate in a person." A cloaked Man says to the others in cloaks.

They all Nod, and laugh.

Back at Meikyo's camp.

After the party was done loading everything into the Cart, Meikyo hopped into it and started playing with the holes in her Doublet.

Shin started pulling it claiming it helped him build muscles, but they all knew he was just being polite. Ippy walked beside it and helped push up hills.

Meikyo started to hum as they got closer to the Konschtat Highlands, "Danceing bears, Painted wings things i almost remember"

She swayed side to side slowly with a smile, Ippy Started to remember how Meikyo and her found eachother.

:this is a flash back thing...get over it! xx:

A mithra with short hair was picking flower in a garden, she was makeing a necklace.

"Quickly, Ippy get inside!" A taller mithra ran to Ippy and pushed her inside a house.

"Mom, whats going on?" Ippy asked her mom who was crying.

"Take this and her, the Beastmen are attacking, the Yagudo are attacking in full force this time!" Ippy's mom gave a little mithra girl to Ippy to hold and around her neck was a Bright red rupy.

"Mom!" Ippy was pushed into the basement of the house and her mother picked up a Katana and a bag of potion.

"Stay alive Ippy..."She kissed Ippy on the forehead and shut the basement door behind her and joined a group of people out side.

"Quickly, we need to give the magic towers help!" A taru said and led them to battle.

Soon after a Great light flashed and everything stopped, Silence, everything, the only thing was a Howl and it stoped. Ippy looked at the little Mithra girl who looked to be her same age, the Rupy the girl was holding Faded away.

"Dont worry, i'll take care of you till your mommy or mine comes back." Ippy sat next to the girl and hugged her.

"Ippy, anyone home?" Shin asked Ippy.

She shook her head and blinked a few times. "Oh i'm okay!" She smiled and pushed the cart more.

The party was passing a cave as it started to rain, Meikyo's eyes widend and her tail twitched around as rain hit it.

Meikyo picked up her staff and stood up, She tapped it on the cart and casted a spell. "Barwatera" A Bubble spread out from her staff and protected them from the rain.

Mei smiled feeling happy from casting a helpful spell. But her Smiled soon faded and her eyes widend again and say a flash of light from the clouds. A bolt of lightning hit a tree Near by.

Meikyo without even think jumped out of the cart and ran to the cave as fast as she could. "Mei, Wait!" Shin yelled and started pulling the cart to her. Ippy was pushing as hard as she could. They reached the Cave and Meikyo was hideing in the back crying and curled up into a ball.

"Meikyo are you okay!?" Shin and Ippy yelled out to her from the front of the cave.

"No, no no please, Dont hurt me..." Meikyo said to her self after each bolt of lightning. As Shin and Ippy got closer to Mei they Saw a Lightning elemental hovering around Meikyo. "Meikyo, dont cast any spells!" Ippy Told Mei staying a few feet away from it.

"I can take it out, Ive faught these before." Shin picked up some rocks and crushed them in his hands and walked closer to the elemental.

"Hundred Fist!" He started punching the Elemental without warning! The elemental was knocked against the wall after Shins last attack.

"Now!" Shin told Ippy, She picked up some of the crushed rock and blew it at the Elemental. The dust formed into spikes and Destroyed the elemental.

"I'm sorry Mei I forgot you never saw lightning before..." Ippy kneeled down and rubbed Meikyo's back. "What, she never saw lightning before?" Shin looked at them stupidly. "Yeah, we were mostly traveling and even then, we normaly only got caught in a rain storm." Ippy said plainly.

Shin picked up Meikyo and put her in the cart and put a blanket over her. "We cant stop now, if we get there to late the City guards wont let us in."Ippy and Shin started moveing the cart, Shin was a little buged that Mei had to run to the cave and cost them time.

Meikyo fell asleep and started to dream, "Please find me, I need you..." A Small childish voice whisperd to Mei. "Who are you?" Meikyo asked.

"I'm your friend, remember?" The voice replied and seemed to giggle. "My...friend?" Meikyo's voice started to feel strained.

"No, Please dont hurt her!" The voice seemed to be talking to another person. "Who is trying to hurt me?" Her throat started to feel like it was dry. "Run! You have to run, The first will come for you soon!" The voice started to fade and soon disapeard.

Meikyo opened her eyes and Shin and Ippy were fighting some goblins. Meikyo couldnt move and she could hardly speak. She Reached out to Ippy and Shin but her arm wouldnt move, The Cart landed on her and she couldnt move her arms or legs. "Help me..." She thought, trying to speak. The goblins wouldnt let them stop fighting, "Ban..." Meikyo tried casting a spell, but with out her arms she couldnt.

"Banis..." She tried again but she couldnt.

"Holy!" a beam of light hit one of the goblins and it seemed to turn to ash. Meikyo looked around for someone that could of casted the spell, She saw Elvaan with White armor on and a Chocobo behind him. He drawed a Sword and shield and attacked the other goblin, it soon died like the other. He ran over to Meikyo and picked up the Cart and pulled her out.

Meikyo Faints, smileing at the man in Armor.
