Ch. 4 The Puff village

Kirby yelled and jumped up out of the bed. This is impossible he thought, but it wasn't. Kirby had found village of the Puffs. This was where he came from, this was his home. The Puff he jumped away from just stood there with a breakfast tray in her hands.

Kirby: Hello, where am I, and who are you?

Kerba: My name is Kerba, and you are in the Puff village.

Kirby: Okay so how did I get here?

Kerba: well, when the fishermen were out they saw you fall from the sky and ran to see what happened. Then they brought you here and told me to take care of you.

Kirby: Oh

Kerba: Now that you are awake you should eat something. Then I'll take you to see the Elder.

Kerba gave Kirby his breakfast, which is a delicious food he had never seen before. After he inhaled his breakfast she led him outside and through the village. All the houses were shaped like big spheres that had a symbol on the front that was, as Kerba told him, the family mark.

Kerba: All of the families have a mark that distinguishes them from other families.

Kirby: Do the members of the family have the mark on their bodies?

Kerba: Yes they do, and we might be able to find out who you are.

When they reached a large house with a pink mark shaped like a Puff on it they stopped.

Kerba: This is the Hall where our ceremonies are held

They stepped inside and a small Puff greeted them.

Kerbo: Hi sis' the Elders waiting for you.

Kerba: Okay Kerbo.

Kirby and Kerba walked down the Hall and Kirby was marveling at the scenes on the stained glass windows.

Kirby: What are those?

Kerba: They are scenes in our race's history. Like the one with all the Puffs facing all the evil creatures represents the war between us and the evil ones of Popstar.

Kirby: There were evil creatures on Popstar?

Kerba: Yes, a long time ago, and because of us there are none.

Kirby: And what about that one?

Kerba: That shows us going into this forest to live so the other species wouldn't pester us with their problems and I suppose the planet is better of?

Kirby: Yes, I guess it is.

Then they came up to a beautiful wooden door

Kerba: This is the Elder's chamber, I will wait out here.

Kirby opened the door and stepped inside. A large Puff greeted him

Elder: Hello Kirby.

Kirby: How do you know my name?

Elder: Kerba told me.

Kirby: Oh.

Elder: So, who are you and where do you come from?

Kirby: Well, I was raised in a small village of Dreamlanders. I don't know where I really came from, but as I grew I knew I was one of the fabled Puffs people talk about. I learned to copy abilities of people and use them to my advantage. I have saved Dreamland many times over the years.

Elder: Did you say you mastered many abilities?

Kirby: All of them actually.

Elder: Hmmm.. Very few Puffs have been known to do that. Most families master and pass on one ability.

Kirby: So what does that make me?

Elder: The Puffs who did master every ability where highly revered and were mighty warriors. They were called Warrior Puffs. Each one fought tremendous battles and were the son or daughter of the last. The last Warrior Puff was Kirbi, and he died fifteen years ago, shortly after the birth of his son .

Kirby: What about his wife?

Elder: She died with Kirbi, their house burned down in the middle of the night. But their son was never found.

Kirby: .............

Elder: How old are you?

Kirby: fifteen.

Elder: And you never knew your parents? Think back.

Kirby: Well I remember people yelling and it was very hot, then I had a flying feeling, but that's all I remember.

Elder: Then I have reason to believe you are the son of Kirbi, and are a Warrior Puff.

Kirby stood there, speechless, but then when he thought about it he had fought many battles and won. Actually his last battle was the only one he had ever lost. When he stepped out Kerba was there waiting.

Kerba: So what did he say?

Kirby: He said I am a Warrior Puff

Kerba: Really?

Kirby: Uh-hu

Kerba: Wow and now you're back in your home village where you belong. The rest of the world can do without you.

Kirby: You don't understand, the rest of the planet has been enslaved by an evil being called Noziras

Kerba: I thought there was no evil on Popstar anymore.

Kirby: There wasn't, he came from another planet.

Kerba: But didn't you fight him?

Kirby: I did, but he defeated me. I was to weak.

Kerba: What happened then?

Kirby: He shot me out of a cannon and I woke up here.

Kerba: Well then you'll just have to train harder with us.

Kirby: Hmmmmmm...... well I guess it's worth a shot

They went back to Kerba's house, Kirby said goodnight went into the guestroom and slept a deep sleep.

The next day Kirby woke up early and Kerba was waiting for him.

Kerba: Come on, let's go we have a lot of houses to visit!

Kirby: Okay

They set out to the first house which was the Fire family, when they got there they were greeted by Arsona.

Arsona: Hi Kerba! I see your ready to start.

Kerba: Yep, this is Kirby. You'll be teaching him

Arsona: Okay then, come on in then.

It was sweltering hot inside. Kirby's training was about to begin
