"Mysterious Placing"

**************************************************

Alone in a barely lit room, a dark, mysterious man sat alone at a small round table. Shuffling a small amount of cards, a dim light barely made visible his long, purple coat and grey turban. "Odd ways that my cards carry out. Death, gift, and confusion. Let me just hope that this time, they do not play out so literally," he said in a sly voice as he shuffled the cards from one sandy glove to another. "Now then, let's see how the girl is doing." With these words, glass (which had been spread all about the room) changed from showing what they could of that dark room, to look outside (or atleast thats what it appeared to be) into a vast plain where two figures, rather, a figure and a ball could be seen.

**************************************************

"What...er...who are you, again?" Naomi asked the little black ball, which she had now noticed to have a white belly.

"Silly, I'm Nimon. Sorry to 'ave scared you like that in Odaiba, but when I transfered to this digital world, only my mind went, and a new body was configured for me here. Guess that armadillo data wasn't good for this place."

"Armadillomon, I thought you were.."

"Don't worry, 'cause I am here. Oh, and remember that I'm Nimon now. I can't go into armadillomon anymore, I think, so I guess it's a name change."

****************the fortune teller***********************

Hmmm. Well then, I guess I need to draw some more cards for the little girl.

****************************************************

Walking towards the village on the horizon, the two continued with their conversation.

"So Nimon, why did you introduce yourself like that, anyway?"


****************the fortune tellor***********************

Insight...

**********************Naomi*************************

I mean, you could have just told me who you were instead of making yourself out to be some wierdo or a stranger.

****************the fortune tellor***********************

Hope...

*********************Nimon**************************

Well, I guess I could have done that, but this new body just kept saying "suprise." Not much of an excuse, is it. I'm sorry Naomi.

***************the fortune tellor************************

Desire. Insight, hope and desire. Hmmmm. Looks like once again fate shall work itself. These cards never allow me to do anything. Heh, a journey begins. It's times like these that I wish I had Tarot cards. Oh well, these have never been wrong.

***************************************************

After a few minutes of walking the two reached the small town . They were imediatly aproached by one of the residents.

"Hi there. A'don't believe av seen you people hair, bafo'. Ah yah taourists o' just travalahs? Oh ids not important wha yah be hair. Ah wee town is a nas' litta Yiyamon town, an' we would bea happy ta help ya wit waddeva ye need."

"Um...Ok", Noami said in a little confusion (she had the attention span of a gnat..) "Um, uhh,..." She started to sputter when Nimon decided it was time to intervene.

"Sir, this is going to sound wierd, but we are REALLY not from around here, and we were wondering if you people had any major, life-or-death, planet-threatening problems?"

"Ya raght. Tha does sound wherd. Bud since ya asken ah heard thad in da spiral forast, which is ova tha in tha distance [the yayimon points to the east side of town, which is the way that they entered] , der is a wee nuisance. That's ah a know though. Sorrah bout that."

The little digimon swiftly answered "No, that's exactly what I was asking. Now we were also wondering er...um.... are there any restaurants or er...inns around."

"Aye. Right ove'a there. Ya see ids both one inda same. Oka?"

"Thank you" was what Nimon started to say when Naomi suddenly grabbed him as she ran off.

"Getting a little friendly there. I don't know about you but suddenly seeing you die, falling through the floor into a new dimension, seeing you get a new body, and then walking through a plain just to be told we need to go to ...uh oh." She stopped in mid-run as a horrible thought occured to her.

"I somehow know this area. I don't why, I just do, but anyway we don't need to ask anyone where Spira..."

"No...It's not that. Were flat broke. We don't have any currency on us."
