Chapter 10: Back to Burmecia

Freya was running through the mud as fast as she could. The gang was right behind her, trying not to trip on the slick mud like before. Rose was already in the city waiting for her mother. They could see her in the distance and they were approaching very fast.

All too soon they were in front of her panting heavily.

"Follow me. Hopefully we aren't too late." Rose said as she ran off, Freya behind her.

"Hey wait for us!" Diane yelled as the gang started running after them.

"Zidane what is going on? Why are we running?" Amarant asked running beside Zidane.

"I think her daughter, Glass, went into labor and she wants us there with her." Zidane said inbetween pants. Amarant looked at Zidane oddly and kept running.
(In The Middle Of Nowhere)

"What did she do?" Vivi asked looking around at the desert they were in the middle of.

"I think she teleported us to a different continent." Zane said while he watched Nami's shocked face.

They looked around and Vivi noticed something in the distance. "I know where we are." Vivi said noticing the giant dead tree in the distance.

"Isn't that the Iifa Tree?" Nami said looking in Vivi's direction.

"That means we're on the Forgotten Continent." Zane said happily.

"And Madain Sari is just past the bay. All we have to do is go over the mountain path and over a few miles of land." Vivi said running past the kids. The kids looked at eachother, but ran after the old mage.

(Burmecia: Kings Palace)

Freya was speed walking through the palace and the gang was now lagging behind. They walked through so many halls that the guests were confused with where they were. Soon the halls broke into a giant hall with many rooms.

"This is clearly the King's hall." Diane said looking at all the rat statues.

Freya walked towards a giant door and pushed it open. As it opened they saw Fratley holding something. Puck was petting Glass' forehead and rubbing her hand. Her sixteen siblings were lined up against the wall looking surprised.

"Momma, is that you and your friends?" Glass said extremely weak.

"Yes, sweet heart. It is me." Freya said soothingly as she walked over to her daughter's side. She kissed Glasss cheek and rubbed her face on her daughters.

"Freya, you missed it." Fratley said walking over.

"Two hours to be exact." Puck said eyeing whatever Fratley was holding.

"How many?" Zidane asked cautiously walking into the room.

"Don't be afraid to come in here, guests. If you weren't supposed to be here, then they would have told you." Sunny said happily.

"Two have been born. A boy and a girl... We were hoping for like four, but Glass is still young. I guess her body wasn't ready for that many yet." Fratley said looking at his daughter.

"Names? I need names... I can't be a grandmother without knowing my grandchildren's names." Freya said happily.

"Sunshine and Rainfall. One has white fur and she is a girl while the boy is grayish in color." Puck said tiredly. It was clear he was worried for his young wife.

"You look tired... Just go to bed Puck... I'm fine now." Glass said before she fell asleep.

"We're leaving Momma. We have to get a nap before we train." Rose said walking past Diane and Sally. Her siblings left with her and so did some of the gang.

"So are you going to bed?" Fratley asked the now half asleep rat on the right side of Glass. Puck fell to the side twice before he fell completely to the floor, sleeping. "I'll take that as a yes."

Freya giggled and took Sunshine and Rainfall from Fratley and forced him and Zidane to put Puck beside Glass. After that was finished she took the rat pups to a separate room that was right next to the room Glass was in and put the twins in a crib. She covered them with a blanket and left the room.

Outside Fratley was talking to Diane about her wedding. Diane had asked him if Glass or maybe Rose could be the maid of honor. Fratley was telling her that he would ask the girls, but not to expect to see if Glass could go. Freya joined in for brides maid designs that she thought would be nice to see. Diane said she would look into it and went to go look for her father. That's when she heard her father scream.

"Oh my gosh! We forgot Vivi, Zane, and Nami. I have to go back and pick them up, NOW!" Zidane yelled and quickly dashed out of the room.

(Later at Dali)

"Their gone! What do you mean their gone?" Zidane asked a worker.

"They just went poof when the girl touched them." A female worker said cowering from a panicking Zidane.

Zidane grabbed his head and paced the hall he was in. He lost Zane again and had no clue if he was alright. Atleast Vivi and Nami were with him, but he couldn't help but worry for his only son. He took a deep breath and walked hastily back to his ship. He would pick up Diane, Amarant, Jupiter, Sally, and Eiko and head out to search for the kids and the old mage.
