THIS IS THE SPLITTING CHAPTER, Also being the reason why it's so short.


"Hey! Are you alright?" Nala asked Culley waving a hand in her face while Culley stared with a slacked jaw at the bustling town below them. There were people walking along the streets where street vendors shouted of their finest wares with lowest prices, and children playing in the streets.

"R-Rozarria?" Culley's voice squeaked.

"Yup, it's hard to believe isn't it?" Nala asked.

"Yeah…" Culley said still staring at the scenery.

Nala slapped Culley as hard as she could on the back of the head.

"OW!" They both shouted.

"WHY'S YOUR HEAD SO HARD!"

"WHY'D YOU HIT ME!"

"NO YELLING!"

"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU ALL TO BE QUIET!" The angry voice of Susye blared through the small house. The two girls looked at each other and started laughing and laughed till they're stomachs hurt and they had tears in they're eyes.

Sitting down they stared at the scenery again.

"It is real you know…" Nala said

"It's gotta be…" Culley said and it took her only a moment to realize Nala was snoring quietly.

"ARGH!"


Later that day Culley and Nala could be found being worked to death by Susye and her sister Ntheta.

"Why do we have to work again?" Nala asked panting.

"Because you're out of shape." Ntheta said with an appraising eye.

It had been a silent decision between Susye, Ntheta, and Diusan- Susye's husband- to take Culley and Nala in despite the lack of income. Culley and Nala though always felt uneasy mooching off of someone else especially someone with little money and had decided they were going to make a plan and leave as quickly as they could, before they got attached, and it was the next week when an opportunity finally presented itself, but during the week as a side note they found little Balthier had clung to Culley all the way back to the house and had been with them the entire time.

"Are we really leaving?" Nala asked with a sad face looking back at the house on the hill from they're spot at the town's gates.

"Don't you feel bad? It seemed they had already had very little money to start with, I don't want them to waste any more on us." Culley said resolutely "Although I will miss them." She frowned looking at the also frowning Nala beside her.

"I guess… So… to the next city!" Nala said in an attempt to be cheerful and hopped on Little Balthier with Culley following.

"To the next city!"
