"So Gurtus, were do you think your family went?" Gurtus sighed.
"They're probable at Verdan looking for me. I hope they aren't that worried." Well I'm sure they are. What was this kid thinking? O course his parents were worried.
" So Raina, where are your parents?" I thought for a moment. My parents could be alive, but it wasn't likely.
"My parents are probably waiting for me back in Chaosdue." Gurtus nodded.
"Then you're from a class system instead of a tribe, right?" I pulled out some food I brought with me. Well all I have are compy snacks. I pull out one and looked at the cracker like food.
"Do you want one?" I held out a couple to Gurtus.
"Are you crazy? I'm starving." Without warning he snatched them out of my hand and ate them with such speed I was forced to watch. I gave him some more and we both went to bed. I'll get this kid home some how. What about those creepy guys? They didn't really want me to join this thing called Zaibac, did they? O well……….
"Hey wake up! We've gotta get to Verdan!" I opened my eyes to see Gurtus shaking the heck out of me. I caught his arm and he stopped. Light was streaming in from the trees. It was so pretty. We pack up and headed to Verdan. Gurtus knew the way so we had no problem there. We we're finnaly started. We cleared the grove and started down dirt road, people were scrambling down the day before. It would take two days to get to the town. Gurtus kept pointing the way. I sure the heck hope he knows what he's doing. I seems like we are going in circles.
"Hey girl. You and your son had better have money too pay us." My……son? Three rugged looking uys were in our path. A harpy and a hawkman as well. Thevies probable.
"Sir. I recommend you get out of our way unless you have a good excuse for this." They cackled. I reached for my sword and brought bit to its normal size While you guys are kidding around, I'm dead serious. I think you just ticked me off." My threat only made them laugh more. Well then. I lifted my sword to the sky.
"Ki ten mitsarugi style Schnell Winden." I slamed my sword into the ground while wind fercily tore through my hair. I cut the ground when I lifted it out forward. The wind speed by colliding with the thieves who were blown away instaintly. They were lucky. If I was really ticked off I would have killed them. The harpy and the hawkman, however, braved the wind and stayed behind. I sheathed my sword and put it away. They wanted to join me. I nodded and they flew off. If I needed them I would summon them. The hawk man came right back to take us to Verdan. We reached the town in exactly half a day. Pretty cool, hu? The hawk man took off and Gurtus emediatly found his mom.
"MOM!!!" A young brown haired woman ran out and scooped up Gurtus in her arms. Tears of joy were streaming down her face.
"Gurtus! We thought you were dead." A large grin formed on Gurtus' dimpled face.
"Of course I'm O.K. mom. This nice lady and I beat up the Zaibac guys. They ran away scared." I had to smile. That wasn't what happened at all. Well sort of. Gurtus' mom walked up to me.
"Thank you, very much." I blushed. The mother looked at my clothes and looked around at some of the other people.
"You really stand out. It's obvious you a lycanthrope. Come with me." I followed Gurtus' mom into a small gray house. It was very cozy. They had many fine furnishings and a nice and tidy kitchen. She took me upstairs to a bedroom and said I should stay awhile. I plopped down on the nice warm bed. It felt like ages before I've laided on one. Gurtus' mother is awfully nice. She gave me quite a bit of Gaean money, four pretty dresses and some "normal" pants and shirts. Of course I had plenty of my own, but I had to blend in. I changed into some pants and a shirt. I wanted to explore a little. I walked down the stairs and into their kitchen was Gurtus' mother was preparing dinner.
"Excuse me? Is it all right if I go exploring? I won't be long." She nodded "Be back by supper." I had to grin. We were treating each other like mother and daughter. "Thank you for the room and clothes." She smiled. "No, thank you for saving my youngest son and bringing back our elk." I blushed and started out the door. The streets were filled with people. It wasn't so crowded you couldn't move, but crowded just the same. There were many small shops along the way. I was defiantly going to see the sun set on the ocean. (Sorry I'm rushing things. I'll slow down or something.) It was obvious new trades were in town. People were running place-to-place gawking at all there was to buy. I turned down the harbor and set foot on the damp, cool, docks. What a great feeling. The constant ocean breeze was blowing through my hair. The salty smell blended in with the wind like a dance. I love the wind most of all. What a great day for flying*. Sea gulls peaked at my hair blowing wildly about my face. A shadow stretched out, blocking the radiant sun. A giant……House?
