.:: Chapter 6: Sonyia ::.
"So," Sage smiled, walking over to the back of the Chocobo Shop's counter, "You need Chocobo Greens?" He dangled a basket over the counter containing all the greens he owned. I saw Curiel Greens, which power up a Chocobo's stamina, to Sylkis Greens which improved a Chocobo's stamina, speed, and intelligence. "Which do you need?"
Tim looked at the selection of Chocobo merchandise and decided on Mimett Greens. "Great! Sage, I didn't know any store stocked these anymore! I mean after the accident at Nibelhiem and all.." Sage nodded in agreement.
"Hmmm? The fire? You mean with Sephiroth, right?" I looked over at the two, forgetting all about the fact that at that time I should have been sneaking out the door to steal Tim's bike.
They ignored me, so I eavesdropped. "I salvaged these from Nibelhiem before the accident." Tim nodded as well. "Quite rare I might add.." Sage winked at him. Tim sighed and pulled out wads of Gil from his pocket. "Great!" Sage said placing a Mimett Green on the counter. "These greens are quite rare, but I'll sell you this one, due to it's small size, for twenty-five thousand Gil. Ok?" Tim sighed again and shelled out the Gil.
"Oh! Tim, would you mind going to get Sonyia my blue Chocobo from the pen? I'm going to grab some supplies while I'm here." Tim smiled and rushed out to get my bird. In actuality, Sage would not let anyone except the owner recover the creatures, making Tim and the bird keeper argue for a good fifteen minutes.
Now was the time to escape with Tim's bike. I began to leave when Demorina, a young apprentice caught sight of me. "Excuse me, miss?" She set her broom down and walked towards me. "Where are you going? You can't let that young man redeem the Chocobo, as you well ought to know." She looked at me sternly, and I just gazed at her with pleading eyes.
"Please.. You don't know anything Demorina, just let me go about my business." I stated, becoming stern. Demorina had no right to stop me from leaving. She looked out past me, and past the fluttering Chocobo's in the pen, to the motorcycle parked at the entrance, and her tone lessened.
"I understand," she said, going back to her broom. "It's just.. How far can you get on a motorcycle? Not as far as you could on Sonyia... That's a blue Chocobo, right?" I nodded. "Well.. Those birds can cross water.. Didn't you know that?" Demorina smiled, just as Sage stepped back into the shop, along with a very ticked off Timothy.
"Why can't I take that damn bird out of the barn?! Aeris is right here!" He shouted, then stormed outside and got onto his bike and just sat there cursing loudly.
Chocobo Sage sighed, "Aeris, you are the owner of that blue Chocobo. If it was a yellow bird, sure, Tim could've taken it out of the barn, but because it's a bird of special quality, you, the owner, must recover the creature." He gestured towards the door, so I nodded and headed for the barn.
"Boy, this bird is a beaute," Sage smiled, caressing the ring of feathers around Sonyia's neck.
"Yea," I smiled. "It took me weeks to breed a blue one. I kept getting black and green.. And a little white one I named Chico."
Sage's mouth dropped open, "Th- That white Chocobo in Mideel??" I laughed, nodding in disagreement.
"No.. I don't know where that bird came from. Chico lives with Tim's family. They look after him. Although.. Chico looks quite similar to the one in Mideel, mine is a little less hyper." Sage smiled. We had all heard on 7/7 Shinra News that there was a mystic white Chocobo of miniature proportions. It became world famous, and was taken ownership to a frantic woman retiring in Mideel. It's name was kept a secret though, for if you screamed it as long as your lungs could carry, that little white Chocobo would take instant ownership to you. Luckily, I had my own. "So, can we take Sonyia outside, I really must be going."
"Sure." He held out his hand, "That'll be seven hundred Gil for the looking after and taking care of Sonyia, blue Chocobo number four-twenty-six." I sighed.
"So," Sage smiled, walking over to the back of the Chocobo Shop's counter, "You need Chocobo Greens?" He dangled a basket over the counter containing all the greens he owned.
