Enjoy...

After Luneth, Arc, Refia and Ingus got back to the airship, they headed for Kazus. During the short trip back, Refia felt slightly uneasy. The closer she got to Kazus, the sooner she realised she had to talk to her father. She strayed away from the boys, standing by the window of the airship, looking out of it.

The boys glanced at her several times, feeling quite worried for her.

Eventually, the Warriors of Light got to Kazus, with Refia hesitating to get off the airship.

"C'mon, Refi." Luneth said, trying to push Refia out of the airship. "We gotta go see Cid and Takka."

Arc and Ingus watched with interest. Would he get Refia off the airship? That would be a hard one, since nobody done what Luneth would tell them to do.

"But I don't want to!" Refia complained, folding her arms and trying to stand her ground. "And it's Refia. Don't ever call me Refi!"

"Okay, okay. Don't get your pantaloons in a twist!" Luneth joked.

Refia elbowed Luneth in the ribs, causing him to wince in pain, which made him stop pushing Refia off the airship.

"Hmph!" Refia huffed. "You can't make me get off this airship!"

Ingus rolled his eyes in annoyance. He had enough of this 'silly nonsense', as he liked to call it. He walked over to Refia and hauled her over his shoulder.

"Put me down!" Refia shrieked. She kicked and punched Ingus, thinking it would make him put her down.

"Refia, the more you kick and scream and shout, the less chance you will have getting off my shoulder." Ingus said sternly. He certainly put it straight.

Refia sighed with defeat. He was right. She folded her arms, still in a huff, and let her head hang low. "Fine. Let's just get this over with."

"Let's go!" Luneth grinned, as he bolted out of the airship.

Ingus started walking, with Refia still hauled over his shoulder.

Arc walked behind Ingus. "I'll keep you company, Refia." Arc smiled.

Refia lifted her head and looked at Arc. She grinned. "Thanks…" She giggled.

"Can't you put me down now?" Refia groaned. They were halfway to Kazus, and she started complaining again.

"How do I not know you will run away?" Ingus replied.

"…I might not run away."

"Yes, Refia. Might."

Refia groaned again. "I don't want to be seen being carried into Kazus by a fit, muscular soldier!"

"Your comments flatter me, Refia," Ingus continued. "But I am still not putting you down."

"Please, Ingus!" Refia said in a persistent tone. "Please? Pretty please!"

Ingus sighed.

"C'mon, Ingus, just let her down," Luneth shouted behind him. "I'm pretty sure she isn't gonna run away."

"Fine." Ingus took Refia off his shoulder, and set her down on the ground. "I am sorry for the inconvenience, Refia." He took a knightly bow.

Refia giggled. "You're excused."

Ingus looked up at Refia and smiled. He straightened up and maintained his posture, and began walking ahead to Kazus.

Refia turned around and simply stared at Ingus. Arc walked up beside her. "He's so…polite." Refia stated.

"I think it was how he was raised." Arc replied. "He might've been raised by one of the knights at Sasune Castle."

"Probably." Refia smiled. "Well, we better get to Kazus." Refia sighed.

"Yep, let's go." Arc walked on ahead of Refia, with her following behind.

A man with grey hair was walking about frantically. He seemed worried about something. "Oh, gods. I hope Refia's ok…" This was Takka, the village blacksmith and Refia's father. Ever since the curse was lifted – and before the curse was lifted – all Takka did was worry about his daughter. It was all he did. Takka was so worried that he couldn't even get back to his work.

Luneth, Ingus, Arc and Refia walked into Kazus. The four looked around them. They all had seen that the curse had been lifted and everyone else was back to their normal selves again.

Refia looked over and found her father pacing around frantically. Great, I got him all worried… Refia took a big breath in, and then out, and walked over to her father. Refia walked over to Takka, but he didn't notice her walking towards him. "…Father?"

Takka suddenly stopped pacing. He turned around and his eyes widened. "Refia! You're alright! Thank the heavens!" Takka hugged Refia tightly. "I…I…" Takka sniffled.

"Don't cry, Father…" Refia managed to say, tensing up since her father was hugging her so tightly. "Everyone's looking!"

Well, only Luneth, Arc and Ingus were looking. They found it funny and a little heart-warming.

"It doesn't matter! I was so worried about you…" Takka stopped hugging Refia, to her relief and put his hands on her shoulders. "Now, let's go home!" Takka took his hands off Refia's shoulders and walked in the direction of his house.

"Wha-? Wait! Father!" Refia ran after Takka, leaving Luneth, Arc and Ingus staring after her.

"Well, better go see Cid!" Luneth said cheerfully, walking off towards the inn.

"He's right." Arc said to Ingus. "Let's go."

Arc and Ingus then walked after Luneth.

"Good work! I knew you would pull it off from the moment I saw you!" Cid said with a smile. Cid was no longer a ghost – like the rest of the people in Kazus – showing his true self.

Cid was a plump old man, with short white hair which was covered by a brown hat, with a white feather sticking out. On his hat, he had a pair of black aviator goggles. Cid had a large, white beard, and a red, somewhat pointy nose. You couldn't see Cid's eyes, as he had them covered with black sunglasses. He wore an old, brown short-length jacket and an orange top, with a green waist band and all sorts of gadgets and trinkets on him. Cid also wore brown trousers and brown boots.

"I'm guessing you can make better use of my airship that I can myself!" Cid bellowed. "But first, I want you to take me back to Canaan. Mrs Cid has been waiting a mighty long time for me to come back!"

"I believe that can be arranged." Ingus said with a small smile.

It seems as if everyone was ready to set off. But they were missing something, and Arc knew exactly what that something was.

"But, what about Refia?" Arc stated quietly.

Luneth, Ingus and Cid looked at Arc.

"Kinda forgot about her…" Luneth admitted sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.

"I suppose we could see her on the way to Takka's," Cid chirped in. "We still need to get rid of that rock blocking our way to Canaan!"

"Oh yeah!" Luneth grinned, remembering that Cid had said about the rock before. "Well, let's go see Takka!"

"Cid, you old dog! It's good to see you – and not through you – again!" Takka laughed, hugging Cid.

"Yeah, I hear ya." Cid laughed back. He stopped hugging Takka. "Say, Takka, we were thinking of busting that rock in Nelv with the airship…But we need a mythril ram on the ship's bow. Think you can hack one together?"

Takka thought about this for a moment. "A mythril ram, eh…? Sounds feasible…" He nodded his head. "Wait here and I'll smith you one in no time!" Takka began walking towards the door. He turned around and looked at Refia, who was looking at Arc, Luneth, Ingus and Cid. "Refia!"

Refia turned around to look at Takka.

"Gimme a hand or three, will you?" Takka said as he walked off, not waiting for an answer from Refia.

Refia nodded. She walked after Takka, with the boys and Cid staring after her. Eventually, she walked out the door, leaving the boys and Cid on their own in Takka's house.

Poor Refia… They all thought.

"Guess we're staying here for awhile…" Arc said, looking about him.

"Arc is right." Ingus replied. "We will just have to wait."

"But I hate waiting!" Luneth whined.

"Well, go and do something productive with your time." Ingus said sternly.

"But there isn't anything to do!"

Ingus rolled his eyes in disgust. "And this is what we have to deal with during our journey?"

Arc nodded.

"Hey!"

"Father, please-"

"Refia, I can't let you go." Takka protested.

"But you don't understand, father! I have to do this!"

Takka put down his hammer. He walked over to Refia. "Refia, I'm sorry, I can't let you go…I can't lose you…"

"But you're not going to lose me. I promise!" Refia held her father's hands.

Takka sighed. "You know what they say about promises, Refia?"

Refia looked at Takka.

"Don't make promises you can't keep." He finished.

Refia sighed. "But, I promise I will keep this one…"

Takka shook his head and walked back over to the part of the airship that he and Refia were supposed to be working on.

"Father…" Refia walked over to Takka and stopped him from picking up the hammer. "I know you don't want to lose me or let me go right now, but I need to do this. Wouldn't you want a world that was filled with no darkness?"

Takka didn't answer back.

"Wouldn't people want a better world for their children? And for their children's children? I know you would want a better world for your grandchildren."

Takka scoffed. "Grandchildren, it's too early to be thinking about that!"

"I'm just trying to make a point!" Refia giggled. She sighed. "Look, just let me do this one thing…I promise I'll come back and you won't lose me."

Takka thought about this for a moment. He sighed. "Fine. You can go."

Refia grinned. She hugged suddenly hugged Takka, burying her head into his chest. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"Whoa," Takka chuckled. "Easy there!"

Refia let go of Takka. "Sorry." She said, pushing her hair behind her ear.

"Help me finish up, would you?"

Refia nodded happily.

Takka arrived back at his house, and opened the front door. He found Cid, Luneth, Arc and Ingus standing about, waiting. "Well, Cid, your airship has been fitted with the ram! You'll find it outside Kazus."

The boys and Cid all looked at each other, fairly pleased. They all began walking to the door and out of the house.

"Sterling handiwork as always, Takka." Cid smiled. "And fast, too! Let's setr 'er up and bust some boulders!"

"Yeah!" The boys cheered in unison.

"I'll see you again, Takka!" Cid shouted after Takka.

"Same to you, Cid!" Takka shouted back.

Cid and the boys all walked off together out of the town. "Thanks to Takka's mythril ram, the airship's a whole lot hardier!" Cid laughed. "Now let's go show that rock in Nelv who's boss, eh?"

Refia stood on the airship, waiting for her comrades. She turned around to hear footsteps, and soon found her comrades right in front of her. "You're late!"

Luneth eye's widened and he stumbled back a bit, surprised that Refia was on board. "Wha-? But I thought…Shouldn't you be…?"

"We all promised the crystal we'd go on the journey." Refia stated. "And…I don't want to be a smith just yet." Refia looked down at the ground. "I am thankful to Father for taking care of an orphan like me all these years but…this is something I have to do."

Luneth narrowed his eyes in confusion. "Wait…you're an orphan, too?"

Refia lifted her head up and looked at Luneth. "'Too'? You mean-"

Arc looked in astonishment at Luneth and Refia, and put his hands to his mouth in shock. "I'm one, too!"

"Wait a minute…" Ingus chirped in. "I, too, have no parents…"

The four looked at each other each in turns, shocked to find that it really was true.

"It can't be a coincidence…the crystal must've known!" Luneth exclaimed.

"Sounds like it's gonna be an interesting journey!" Cid bellowed with laughter. "Now let's go break that rock!"

The four orphans nodded and headed towards their positions on the airship. Luneth decided to take the wheel, as he 'knew' how to 'control' the wheel now. He piloted it towards Nelv valley, where that giant rock was, and piloted straight into the rock. The hit to the rock caused it to break, along with the airship.

Cid, Luneth, Arc, Refia and Ingus all fell from the sky and landed on the ground below. They all groaned, and they couldn't seem to get back up. Eventually, they all blacked out.

R&R, but don't if you don't have anything nice to say about it.

"Write what you think is right."
