Hello again, now I got a review reccomending I describe appearances more. For the characters who have been introduced:

Kenneth: Dark brown hair, blue eyes. Wears a blue tunic with white pants and a white cape, wears white body armor, gauntlets and boots.

Talia: Light blond, almost white hair, and icy blue eyes, she possesses a unique red mark on her forehead, it appears as a circle with a cross through the center.

David: I was not provided a description... So, unless I get one just imagine him looking like Robin. (I don't want to ruin what the creator had in mind.

Douglas: No description provided. And, I have no clue what to say fir looks.

Lark: His appearance is HEAVILY inspired by Hector from FE 7. He has simliar armor and has spiky hair that is black. Actually, many things about him are inspiried by Hector!

I hope that clears thing up! This chapter will be more action packed. We'll also meet a new OC. Also, I just noticed, like alot of the OCs are clerics or myrmidons! XD. Don't worry I'll be making some of my own OCs to.

The group kept moving forward. It was about the 6th day of the trip. The sunrise coming over the mountains made the steepes look very beautiful. It seemed like the entire plain was in harmony. Even the monster such as Behemoths, giant six legged monsters with huge pincers, were just basking in the sun. It seemed like nothing could ruin the beautiful sunrise. To their surprise, nothing did interrupt the sunrise. A giant behemoth even watched them, but it decided it could look for a meal later.

The group stopped for a meal. Luckily, they still had plenty of meat on them. They wouldn't have to interrupt the peace. They were eating when they noticed something strange.

It looked like a smaller behemoth. It was larger than a battlehorse, but looked to be a runt. It approached them slowly. Lark got up ready to draw his axe. Then, he noticed something strange. The behemoth didn't seem to be agressive. He began to approach it.

"What are yo-" Kenneth attempted to yell. Lark shushed him and continued forward. The behemoth seemed to approach him to. He got closer then pet the beast's muzzle. The behemoth let out a sound which is theor equivalent to a purr.

"You're just a big puppy dog! A fearsome puppy dog! I think we'd make a good team. Don't you?" Lark asked the creature. The creature nodded in response, but it stepped back and growled. "I don't think I can take a Behemoth like you!" The behemoth seemed to think about then snorted in agreement. It went to where Lark was sitting and sat down.

"Well, that's something I never thought I'd see." Kenneth saod surprised by the tamed monster.

"Well, they're not to uncommon anymore. Lots of the most powerful warriors from here have one. Let me be the first to tell you. Behemoths will beat any other mount in a fight. The most powerful ones can jump higher than how high we fly with battle pegasi. They'll tear a flier down from the sky, but that takes alot of energy." Lark told the group. The only unsurprised by this was Talia, but that was only natural that she'd know.

"Hey, what's that?" David asked. There was a group of creatures heading their creatures were two legged with long claws. Behemoth got up and was on alert. The others drew their weapons at the threat. Lark mounted his new Behemoth ready to ride it into the battle.

"Let me handle this," Lark said charging forward. The Ranq Lu cut through the monsters necks like a hot knife through butter. Each time he killed on it turned to dust. An archer fired an arrow, but he blocked it with the axe. He threw his hatchet killing the archer. That's when he realized just how many there were.

There was no way he was going to survive. Not without a miracle. Lucky for him, a miracle is what he got. A beam of light appeared around him. It wasn't to bright nor did it hurt. It tightened into a smaller beam, and he looked upat it. He saw brighter orb traveling down the beam. The beam was a marker. The orb made contact with the ground and pillars of light engulfed the surronding monsters.

He looked around and saw his savior. A young sage standing next to a Palidan. The monsters followed his gaze, and then they saw the newcomers. Now, he could repay the favor! "CHARGE!" He commanded his behemoth. The behemoth charged forward it's pincers tearing the monsters apart. A blast of fire from one of David's Tomes finished off the other monsters.

"So, who are you?" Lark asked the newcomers. The sage ,who had s hort blond hairand green eyes, responded first.

"I'm Alicia, I see you're traveling with my brother Kenneth," Alicia said shyly. She had a bit of a problem with being shy around new people. "This is Alexander, he protects Kenneth and I." Lark looked at the Palidan he looked to be pretty old. He was blond with a goatee and a mustache. He wore blue armor with silver gauntlets and boots. Alexander looked like a guy you wouldn't want to mess with. Alexander remained silent.

"So, what are you doing here Alexander? You're supposed to be protecting the king." Kenneth asked the Palidan.

"The king... the king is... the king is dead. Xali Castle fell a few days ago. He ordered me to flee with Alicia." Alexander responded. You could hear the sadness in his voice. Disbelief flooded Kenneth face as the blodd fled. His father was dead. The next thing to enter his face was anger.

"Who did it!? Was it that blasted king?! I'll kill him." Kenneth yelled angrily. Alexander stopped him.

"No, the king did not. A black dragon attacked the castle. It was aided by Dalian forces. We believe it is resting inside the castle now. Your father put up quite the fight." This was a schock to everyone. A dragon!? They were extremely rare in these times!

Not as action packed as I thought, huh? Well, in general expect more drama then action from me. I'm into story, and I'm not good at describing battles. This was at first two chapters in my outline, but I felt Grave News, and Monsters (The chapter names.) could be combined. Honestly, I think this worked much more then two chapters.

So, that behemoth huh? I'll be honest I was playing a bit of FF before making this chapter. The idea got into my head, and the more I thought of it the better it sounded to me!

As always your review and critique is appreciated. (Even if I find critique painful to read. I guess the truth hurts huh?)
