*******A few hours later***********
Brown, brown, brown, Green!, brown, brown. That was all anybody saw around them. Just a big, dry plain. An occasional tree or shrub dotted the land, but those were few and far between. Kel wondered how the boy knew where he was going, there were no landmarks, no paths, not a house in sight. After a few minutes though, they came across what looked like the village Kel was at before. Indeed there were her copper coins hanging from the top of a market stand.
"Shapopaway virnces!" shouted the boy, "Shapopaway coiyinuy!" * Shapopaway returns! * *Shapopaway back! * (AN: Shapopaway is his name, the girl I babysat for helped me make that one up ^_^)
"Shapopaway! Gient gfd hjg gbhkffjh hjf!" shouted one of the villagers, who Kel assumed was his mom, because Shapopaway quickly looked at the ground, still grinning.
*Shapopaway! Where have you been, that's it, your grounded! *
*Sorry mom,* said Sha, * But these guys fell from the sky and I got a little, um, distracted by the girl, she IS cute. *
*That's no excuse! You can't go around having crushes on EVERY girl can you? * said the woman, then in Common, "I'm sorry, my son seems to have a bit of a litnoc, that is, crush, on you."
Kel smiled at Sha, who blushed. Joren whispered, "yeah, its not that hard to get caught up in her smile."
"I heard that young man! My ears may be old but they still work!" said the lady, "By the way, my name is Recoliy, but you may call me Rec, and your admirer is Shapopaway."
"Sha for short!" chimed in the boy.
Kel stuck out her hand, "I'm Kel, and the two baboons that are following me are Joren.." she pointed at him, then at Vinson, "…and Vinson."
Sha scowled at them, "she's mine!" he hissed at Joren, who only shrugged, embarressed.
"Don't worry, you can have her," laughed Vinson, "No one else wants her."
"Excuse me," interrupted an irritated Kel, "but how do you guys know Common? When we met Sha he was speaking something else."
Rec laughed, "He was speaking the tribe language, Tiymin. Common is a second language that we learned from travelers like you. Now if there are no more questions…"
"I've got a question!" piped in Vinson, "How come your son turned into a giant cat and tried to rip our throats out?!"
"I did NOT try to kill you!" defended Sha, "Only just scare you a bit."
Rec glared at Sha, "You weren't supposed to shift in front of anyone."
"But mom! I thought she was the Shiynue, she fell from the sky, she had the necklace, she had two guardians with her, and she tried to fight me, even when I was a lion!"
Rec looked surprised and turned to Kel, "Is that true?"
Kel looked confused, "yes mam, I'm a squire in my world."
Rec looked at her strangely, "you don't look square."
"I said squire, not square. A squire is a knight in training." Kel explained, wobbling a bit from tiredness.
Rec noticed, "Come with me, I'll have a hut set up for you all."
Kel thought a moment, "Um, if its not too much, could I have my own room? Joren tends to snore quite a bit, and I don't trust Vinson."
Rec looked the two boys up and down, then nodded. "Quite understandable. If you like, you can stay with my family."
Kel bowed, "That would be great."
Sha bounced around Kel, "YAH!!! The girls staying with ME!" said Sha, sticking his tongue out at the older boys.
Vinson laughed, "Yeah, if you call that a girl."
"Follow me." said Rec, leading them through the colorful maze of shops, stopping only to let her guests catch their breath.
"This.." wheezed Vinson, "is worse…than… the weights…this is way….too..much…running…for…me!"
"Stop complaining and hurry up! We're walking for goodness sakes!" said Joren, who also had a line of sweat across his brow.
"Yeah but its hard!" protested Vinson, who sat down abrptly.
Just then a man ran up to Kel. He was old and his face was furry, but his eyes were sharp and clear. "You!" he shouted, "You gave me the copper medallion!"
"Excuse me?" asked Kel, recognising him as the man who had sold her furs. "Do you mean the copper coin I gave you?"
"No, no, no, no, no… It's a medallion! Look!"
Indeed some of the copper had rubbed off, revealing the same design that was on the necklace from the woods. It was a tiger and a snake circling phoenix (AN: fire bird). Moons and suns danced around and between them, creating an almost living picture.
"You want it back, no?" asked the old man, his eyes sparkling in respect for her, "the Shyinue needs her medallion, no?" Then he thrust it into Kel's hands and hurried out of sight.
Joren leaned over her shoulder to get a better look. "I wonder if they all do that," he whispered, then felt around in his pocket for a piece of copper.
*********A while later***********
Kel and the others had finally reached the huts and now she and Rec were sitting cross legged on the dirt floor inside the bright orange hut, enjoying a strange tea, made of roots and berries. Or rather Rec was enjoying it, Kel was trying not to make a face at the bitterness. So Kel decided to talk rather than drink.
"So Rec," she began, "People keep talking about the Shyinue. Who is that?"
Rec laughed, "It's a long story, story my child, longer than I care to tell. It was foretold by our seers that a beautiful lady would descend from the sky, or in your case fall from, and she would save our people."
"Save you from what?" Kel interuppted. "You seem to be doing just fine."
"I'll get to that, now the Shyinue would have guardians, one who would love her eternally but never tell, who is represented as the tiger," she said fingering the medallion, "and another who was a snake, not too be trusted, for he would do all he could to destroy her."
"Well than its definitely not me," said Kel laughing, "I just have two snakes!"
Rec smiled knowingly, "We shall see, there's more to people than you think. Now, you asked what we needed to be saved from….."
Just than Sha burst through the door, jumping and laughing. "Mama, mama!" he cried, "Joren and Vinson are gonna teach me poker!" He was so excited that he wasn't watching where he was going and he knocked over Kel's glass of tea. "Sorry my love!" he cried and with that he ran back outside.
Rec laughed, seeing Kel's irritated face. "He'll get over his "love" for you by next week, don't worry. Shall I get you another cup of tea?"
"No thanks!" she quickly answered, a little too enthusiastically, "but do you have any lemon water?"
"I'll go get some," laughed Rec, and she quickly left for the kitchen. The kitchen was actually another tent, behind the boys hut. Unlike the other plain, dull, and orangish- brown colored tents, the kitchen was bright blue, with purple stripes all around it.
"I guess they really like food," Kel said to herself, and then sat down to wait for Rec to return.
**********Later*********
Rec rushed into the room red faced. Kel noticed that she was carrying a golden sword and wooden bow and arrows, instead of lemon water and tea.
"Hurry!!" she cried, "Take the sword and follow me!"
Kel quickly took the sword, 'it's a little rusty and dull' she thought, testing the swords tip on the edge. But to her surprise it sliced her finger easily, and without another thought of the wound she raced out the door. It wasn't hard to figure out where Rec had gone, just follow the sounds of screaming people. Kel pushed her way through the crowd, and when she reached the front she saw a certain curly-haired boy looking oddly familiar.
He was fighting big, make that humongous, tarantulas!
"Owen! OWEN!" she called out. The boy glanced behind him.
"KEL!" he shouted, turning to her, "I'd hug you but I think you'd kill me. I haven't seen you for… YEARS!" Just then a tarantula pounced on him, slashing him across the chest with its poisonous venom. "AHH!!!" AN: do tarantulas even have venom? Or live in Africa?
"OWEN!" Kel ran over to where he was laying, killing any tarantulas remaining, "Owen if you die I'll kill you!" Kel knelt over him.
"closer," he whispered, "come closer." Kel obeyed. "A little closer, now listen…." His voice faded out.
"Owen if you don't finish your sentences I'll tell Lord Wyldon!" Kel was close to tears.
"just a little closer please," whispered Owen. Kel was now just inches away from his face.
"What do you want to tell me?"
"I wanted, I wanted…" suddenly Owen jumped up grinning, making Kel scream, "…I just wanted to scare the freak out of you!!"
"Owen that was a mean trick! If I wasn't so happy to see you I'd stick a
snake down your shirt!"
"Wasn't that a jolly good fight?! All those tarantulas dead.." Owen sighed blissfully.
Kel looked at him strangely, "Boy I think there's something wrong with your head! If you thought that was JOLLY your defiantly messed! And how did you GET HERE???"
That's it for chpt 4!!! I know, not too exciting. But I'm glad I got owen into here! Thank you too all who reveiwed! I'll explain what happened with Owen (and Jump will probably be there too ^_^) in the next chpt. And for all you Kel/anyone fans, tell me! And tell me any questions you have as well!!!
