Chapter 2
The sun was shining brightly in the blue sky. It was around noon when
Teepo finally decided to wake up from his deep slumber. He was able to sit up,
not like last time. Slowly, the boy rubbed his eyes and blinked a few times,
noticing his hands were... smaller than the usual. "W...what the hell is
going on?! How come I... my hands... " He looked at himself and saw, to
his big surprise, that he has the body of a 12 years old kid, once again.
"What the bloody hell happened to me?! I'm suppose to be in an adult's
body!!! I'm back into a kid's state again!!" He growled under his breath
at the fact he was back into a young boy once again. "At least I still
have my knowledge and... my memories..."
Maina busted into the room without knocking with his original purple clothing
and white armor. "Here you g--- oooh! sorry!!! I didnt mean to bust in
like that!!" She was blushing furiously, seeing Teepo out of bed, naked
and standing. She closed her eyes and handed him the clothes. "H... here!
I'll be in the main room okay?! Heh heh heh...!" She skipped off to the
main room where the wooden dinning table was. It was rather small, like old
fashioned japanese table. She sat down on a red cushion that uses for the
chair.
Teepo put his clothing on slowly. He was still half sleepy and at least
he didnt put on his outfit the wrong way around. Finally at last he put on his white and golden armor but
something was missing. Where was his sword?! He looked around left and right
for his sword but couldnt find it anywhere. "Maybe Maina has it... for now
I can only rely on my sword... like if it was my best buddy! Damn!" He
opened the door and walked out of his room, joining the girl into the main
room. He could see on the left wall, 3 paintings.
The first one was a representation of the Fou Empire. The second one
portrayed the Golden Plains. The last one was the portrait of the Grass dragon,
Ta-Pu.
Mainly, Teepo was focusing on the third painting, like if he was
absorbed into it, until Maina spoke to him. "Neat dragon huh? It lives in
the Golden Plains but he's hard to find since it's a huge place." Teepo
snapped out of his trance and nodded to her.
He sat down on the remaining red cushion, in front of the girl.
"Say... um... Maina is it? I have a few questions and I would like you to
answer alright?" Maina smiled and nodded. "Sure anything!" she
said with enthusiasm. "Okay first of all... where am I? It's something I
really need to know." he said with a tone of impatience. "Ah you are
in Worent Village! I f--"
She got interrupted by a shocked Teepo. "What?! Did you say the
word... Worent?!!!" Teepo was so surprised that he kinda scared Maina
away. He did look scary. "Well uh... yes I did! Why is that?!"
Teepo's face beamed up. "Probably Rei lives here now! Things have
changed since I was gone!" he thought.
"Maina... do you know someone by the name of Rei Chiba?!" The
girl shook her head negatively. "No but probably the leader of the tribe
does! We'll have to see him later, he has alot of questions to ask you. But for
now, lets eat lunch shall we? You must be hungry!" He nodded to her in
approval. "Oh and by the way... can you answer my single question?"
she asked to him. "Sure whatever you want..." he replied, looking
back at the Dragon Painting.
"What's your name? I've wanted to ask this for awhile now."
she said with a cheerful expression.
"The name's Teepo..." he said blushing a little bit.
