Okay, so here's chapter 2… I wanna start with thanking General-Beatrix666 and poo fot their great reviews. Thanks a lot guys! This chapter's a bit short. Hopefully, next one'll be longer. I've also updated chapter 1. Nothing special, so don't feel forced to read it. Anyways… I hope you'll enjoy chapter 2.
Chapter 2 Later that day, at lunchtime, when Vivi and Nini were eating lunch (pumpkin soup), someone knocked the door. Vivi rose from his seat and went to open. Tino, one of their neighbors stood behind. "Hi Tino", Vivi said. "Hello and good day Vivi!" Tino answered. "What can I do for you? Do you want to come in and eat dinner with me and my wife?" "I'd love to, but I can't. I'm here to give you a message". "A message?" Vivi looked surprised at his neighbor and friend. "From whom?" "From our elder, Fili… The message goes like this: 'Please come to my house. I need your help with something. And please hurry, time's important now!'" Vivi said nothing for a short while. He just looked at Tino with a surprised, and a little bit worried, expression. "Well… Are you going back to him now?" He finally asked Tino. "Yes, I am". "Tell him that I will be there shortly. I just got to go tell Nini". Tino nodded and then said: "Of course. I'll tell him that. See you later then Vivi". He turned around and left. Vivi went back into the house. "Who was it, dear?" Nini said when he came into the kitchen. "Tino… He left me a message… From the elder… It sounded bad". Vivi shook his head a little. "Bad? You mean like problems?" Now Nini sounded worried. "Could be. I'm not sure yet. He asked me to come to his house… As quick as possible, so I'll go right away". "Yes, you better do. I'll wait here". Vivi nodded again, he was actually too worried to say anything. Then he left.
Outside the elder's house, a bunch of chocobos stood tied to a tree. "So the knights are still here…", Vivi thought. He knocked the door, and then stepped back a little. A sec or two went by and then Fili, the elder, opened. "Ah, Vivi! We've been waiting for you. Come in, come in". The old blackmage turned around and went into the house, tightly followed by Vivi. Inside the Chocobo Knight officer was waiting. "Oh, what a coincidence! So you are the great and mighty blackmage of this village?" The knight said. "Um… No…" Vivi started but got interrupted by Fili: "Yes, exactly. He is the great and mighty blackmage of this village, and also the one who will help us". "Help you? With what? Nothing dangerous I hope…". Vivi sounded frightened. "Oh, don't worry Vivi. Nothing that you can't handle", Fili said and put his hand to Vivi's shoulder. Now Vivi looked frightened. "Nah, nothing dangerous. For a mighty blackmage that is. With your help, we'll be alright", the knight said. Vivi didn't say anything. "What we need your help with is this little problem of ours", the knight continued. "Well, this problem of ours and yours as a matter of fact. You see, there's this monster lurking in these woods, and I bet you mages don't want it there. It's pretty dangerous". The chocobo officer now smiled, a smile that didn't make Vivi feel well. Not well at all. As a matter of fact, he now felt veeery scared. "So, how's this our business?, you might ask. Hmm… It's like this: It's a Mist-monster, a monster of Mist, the Mist that disappeared – well, we thought it disappeared – two tears ago. Mist-monsters are up to no good. Think about it: a Mist-monster! What if it reproduces? We don't want this world to be infested with Mist again". The knight stopped speaking. "So what we want to do is to go find this monster, and defeat it", Fili filled in. Vivi nodded, but didn't look happy. He shrugged his shoulders and sadly said: "When do we get started?" "Tomorrow morning, if that's okay?", the knight answered him. Vivi made another shrug with his shoulders and the nodded again.
