So I ordered the game and got it. Made more sense to buy the whole thing instead of 2 discs which are like, 20 bux each.

Lol. Wanna know something funny? I'm on disc 1 in the Ice Cavern and I got killed by Black Waltz no. 1's pet sealion whatever thingy. It was like, the 2nd boss battle of the game. And I died. lol. I was in trance mode and my hp was low. Next time I'll remember to take care of that.

"What is our destination?" she asked as they whooshed around in the air, her hair blowing all around her.

"Our destination is Alexandria for now. I have a conference with the Elephant Lady."

Eri tilted her head. "Enlighten me. Who is the Elephant Lady?"

"The Canary's mother."

Eri stared blankly at him.

"The queen of Alexandria," he said finally.

"Oohh! That's so cool that you are acquainted with royalty."

Kuja started to laugh. "Oh, no it's nothing of the sort. It is not 'cool' at all that I am indeed acquainted with the Elephant Lady. Hell, that's why I call her that."

"Because she's an elephant?"

"Because she's as ugly as one," he laughed again. "I quite despise her, really. But I am an...arms dealer of sorts to her."

"That sounds even cooler!" Eri smiled, her eyes gleaming in admiration.

"I...suppose..." he said and looked around them. The Mist was below them, effect of the Iifa tree, but he could just make out the Grand Kingdom of Alexandria. His silver dragon decreased its altitude and landed at the front gate. When the two got off, it went back into the sky.

The Alexandrian Soldiers lowered the bridge for them. As they went across, the Soldiers nodded their heads. Kuja ignored them. He felt that the Alexandrian Soldiers (who were all female) were useless. Though the Knights of Pluto were kinda useless as well.

Eri followed him because he seemed to know the way. She looked about. She quite liked this castle. It was nicer than Kuja's palace. Some parts of his palace were kinda dark and scary. It didn't seem to suit him though. What would suit him was a happy castle with pretty purple wallpaper and sparkles. She suppressed a laugh with her sleeve and continued on. Kuja was such an amusing person to fantasize weird things about.

They walked up a flight of stairs and entered a room. It was big and dark. The only light came from the large windows in the back. There was a long mahogany table. At it sat a large woman (Eri presumed it was the 'Elephant Lady',) a pretty woman with one eye covered, and twin jesters.

"It is Kuja!" one exclaimed.

"Kuja it is!" came the other one.

Kuja looked their way and nodded grimly. "Zorn. Thorn." He looked at the two women. "Queen. General." He put a hand on Eri's shoulder, "This is my assistant," he said before they could ask who the young woman was. He then sat down, motioning Eri to sit down next to him.

The Queen/Elephant Lady looked at Eri long and hard. Then she cleared her throat. "I am Queen Brahne. You shall address me as such. Now," she looked at Kuja, "the matter at hand."

Kuja nodded. "I am here today to get your order; I understand that the other mages I've sent you have been defeated by...my brother, therefore I am here to replace them."

Queen Brahne narrowed her eyes. "That stupid little monkey boy Zidane. He's really getting in my way."

"Indeed."

"Double my order! I'm sending all of them after him."

General Beatrix suddenly turned her head. "What of the Princess?"

"Oh right...Beatrix! Kuja! Bring me my daughter."

"And her Eidolons? What of them?" Zorn asked.

"What of her Eidolons?" Thorn asked.

"Uh...oh," Queen Brahne thought for a while. "Extract them first then bring her to me. All of you! You may be dismissed."

They all stood up- Beatrix, Zorn and Thorn bowing in the process.

Kuja swiftly walked out of the room. Eri hurried after him.

"I hate these meetings," he said as they walked down the stairs. "There's all so much I have to do."

"I see...there seemed to be some sort of tension when the Queen didn't mention saving her daughter at first. The General seemed like she was gonna pounce."

"She is quite loyal to the Princess, so it's to be expected. I doubt she's for the idea of Eidolon extraction either."

"I don't blame her, but oh well. So who is this princess? Does she look like her mother?"

"She's adopted."

"Oh good. I'd hate to be the offspring of...that thing."

Kuja laughed. "I agree."

"I'd feel sorry for them. She'd be like, green or something. And a minotaur."

Kuja laughed again and nodded. "Indeed."

When they exited the castle, the silver dragon landed in front of them.

"There are some things you must know about this mission," Kuja said as he and Eri mounted the dragon. "First off, we must go to the Iifa tree. That's where I get black mages. Next is to locate the Princess' captor."

"She was captured?"

"Yes. Well, something like that. She went willingly."

"Was it by this 'brother' person you spoke of?"

Kuja grimaced. "Yes."

"Then he is a Genome."

Kuja nodded. "He's blond and rude and a thief. He shows his tail all the time, which is something I do not understand. Who would willingly do that?"

Eri shrugged. "You must have a pretty, silky soft tail, don't you? Can I touch it?"

"No."

"Aww. Can I see it?"

"No."

"Why??"

"No one sees it. Ever," he said and glared.

"But it's pretty, ain't it?" she smiled.

"You're not seeing it, so stop trying."

Eri smirked. If she could get those clothes off that body...she laughed quietly. Soon, she thought and looked him up and down from the corner of her eye, soon.

Clothes off bodies...hahaha
