"Oh, I have another son?"

"Riddel, are yoo sure this is the right way?" Glenn fearfully asked Riddel. They stood at the entrance to the Shadow Forest.

"Of course, Glenn! Ah, Termina has such big trees!" She smiled.

A Bulb plodded past Riddel. When Riddel waved, the Bulb growled at her and started advancing.

"R-Riddel! Look out!" Glenn tugged at Riddel's sleeve in an effort to get her away from the evil Bulb. But Riddel, having the IQ of Aeris (Not an Aeris fan here, mind you), just grinned stupidly.

"Oh, Glenn look how friendly the people are here!" Riddel gushed. When the Bulb began chewing on her hand, she gushed and picked it up, ignoring the blood pouring from her now mutilated hand. She can fix that with an Element!... When they buy one anyway..

The Bulb roared and kept on chewing on her hand. But remember, Riddel has the IQ of Aeris, and is too stupid to feel pain.

"Hehehehehehehe! He likes me! Let's call him... Zork!" she exclaimed. Glenn shrugged and followed her deep into the forest. Hey, if Riddel doesn't get hurt, then I won't! Glenn thought. But he was too young to know that Riddel was... ah, different from other people.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Fossil Valley..

Radius held up a picture of Riddel (they had to tie her down and gag her, but she stayed still long enough for them to take a recognizable picture) to a fellow trooper.

"Young man, have you seen this whiny brat?: he asked.

The soldier's eyes filled with fear when he saw the evil picture of Riddel. He trembled, but managed to utter a no.

Zappa sighed.

"That Riddel, she pisses me off!" He complained. "I want to kill her VERY BAD! Don' ye, Garai?"

Garai stood still for a moment, then drew the Einlanzer.

"It has been my very dream to destroy that wicked child.. she made my Dario and Zappa's Karsh turn into wusses! At this rate, they won't be powerful enough to even make decent Acacia Privates!" He roared.

Zappa nodded in agreement. Then his face showed a bit of confusion.

"What abou' the wee one? Glenn? Yer other son?"

Garai's face was blank.

"I-I... I have another son..?"

"Umm... yes.." Radius confirmed. "He's Glenn, ya know, the little one that spars with Dario and Karsh but usually gets whacked on the head? That kid."

Garai thought some more.

"You mean the brain-damaged one?"

"Yeah! That's the one!" Zappa said.

Garai blushed. "I... I never knew that poor child was mine!"

"Oh, good Sky Dragon, Garai, you didn't know you had another son..??" Radius sighed.

Garai nodded.

"Hell, I don't even know who the mother of my kids are!"

"No one knows, Garai.. not even the players." Zappa said.

The three men nodded and thought it best to just drop the subject. After all, they still had to find and kill Riddel, and since they barged out before hearing any clues to where she could have been from General Viper, they just aimlessly wandered El Nido until they ran into her.

But that won't be for a very long time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back at the Shadow Forest, Riddel had spotted a old dude picking mushrooms.

"EEEEEEK! GLENN! A MONSTER! SAVE ME!" Riddel shrieked and jumped on Glenn. The weight of the girl was too much for Glenn to carry and he fell over.

"Hahaha! You kids are weird! I'd say the Bulb chewing on your hand is a monster!" The old man laughed.

"DON'T MAKE FUN OF ZORK!" Riddel roared, and the whole forest shook. Zork was very scared and ceased chewing on Riddel's hand.

The old man saw whom this really was, and fled for his life, screaming "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!! IT'S RIDDEL!!"

"Good job, Glenn! I knew I could count on you!" Riddel beamed, then whipped out her Prism Staff..

OK, OK, I know she uses a rod, but let's just say she's using a staff. Why? I don't know!

...and tapped Glenn on the head with it. Glenn smiled, then looked around.

"Um, Riddel? This path leads back to Viper Manor.." He told her, but Riddel wouldn't listen, being to occupied with petting Zork, who resumed chewing on Riddel's hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! I got over my writer's block! Anyway, how will Riddle react when she finds out Glenn was right and they were NOT at Termina?

And will the Dragoon Devas ever find Riddel? See, people, always listen to what yer boss/teacher/parent/random video game character has to say!
