Arizda: Yoyoyo! **passes out Kudo bars** Gee, you guys break my heart! Why do I have so little reviews? What's the point of reading a fic on FFnet if you're not going to review? Please be a doll and review! ^_^ It'd really mean a lot to me. ANYWH00... here I am, on chapter three. I've put thought into this, and I'd like the blurriness in the storyline to just go away... I don't know why it's there. But ya know... it'll get better, I promise. Well, let's go on! And all I can say is "lol" to the anon. reviewer to said I made Van all wimpy n' stuff. I just took away his zoid and tried to keep his original personality. Sorry if he sounds wimpy... heh... I'll try to make him look better, okay? And Van is NOT a wimp, so don't worry.
Disclaimer: No, nonono, I don't own crap except for my original characters. Now go away. Booga. Pilfred will eat j00!
Pilfred: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSKKIEESSSSK!
Arizda: Now... ON WIT DA FICCY!

The Tower Lands...
...
The most indimidating place on the face of Siopenne, believe it or not (A/N: Think Bermuda Triangle). Their were many myths about it, yet not many people dared to find out if they were true.
And yet, Van and Fiona were suddenly okay with going straight into the lands. Crazy--yes. Smart--not exactly. However, wich Zeke along with them, they seemed pretty confident, and were singing tunes as they walked along the cold, desolate wastelands in cloaks. The Tower wasn't too far away, maybe only 300 yards ahead of them. Van was the first to reach The Tower Gates.
xI/.\/.\/.\/.\/.\/.\/.\/.\/.\/.\Ix
Van, Fiona, and Zeke were all standing at The Tower Gates, wondering what came next. Van began to tap his foot.
"Rha..."
"Hm... you know, I think we should knock," Fiona said, thoughtfully. Van was taken aback by this.
"What!? Are you crazy?! You think we should KNOCK?! Fiona, no one is gonna be in there to answer the door!" he shouted.
"Yeah, you're probably right..." Fiona answered. Zeke ignored Van's shouting and pounded on the door with his tail, making an eerie metal-against-metal noise. After that, there was an utter silence, followed by Van's paranoid shout.
"ZEKE! What was that for!? I TOLD YOU THAT NO ONE IS GONNA BE IN THERE!" he shouted. Fiona giggled.
"Then why are you so worried? Who's gonna come and get us for knocking? No one! So come on, let's go find a way to get in!" she said. Right then, as if on cue, the gates opened, very slowly, very loudly.
"W-W-WHAT!??! HOW DID IT DO THAT?!" Van shouted at the top of his lungs, obviously scared out of his mind. A very old, wrinkly, and small figure then creeped out, still hiding partly behind one of the sides of the gate.
"Come in, please," he said, in an old, creaky voice. He had a long, pointy nose, pointy ears, brown skin, a white beard, white eyebrows, and almost no hair, but it was all white. He had a dark blue dot on his face, on each cheeck, and he had a wrinkly old smile. Van screamed. He screamed as loud as he could.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!! FIONA, HURRY, RRRRUUUUUUUUUNNN!!!!" he yelled, getting ready to run off, but Zeke held him back. "ZEKE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Van obviously knew what was right, but his partners seemed to disagree.
"Van, come on, this nice old man invited us in!" Fiona replied, slowly walking in. Van went hysterical.
"FIONA! It's a trap! DON'T GO IN!"
She went in anyway. After she was in, the old man waited for Zeke and Van to come in before he shut the door. Zeke had to shove his pal in, and he was able to do it, despite how hard Van struggled.
"Have I strangely turned into the only sane person here!?" he bellowed.
"Come. I am Bieldor, of The Crow Tower. You are our guests!" the old man said, beckoning the three guests to follow him.
"Guests? To whom?" Fiona wondered.
"The Crows!" Bieldor croaked. Fiona gave Van a funny look.
"Van... I'm scared now. Who are the Crows?" she whispered.
"There is no need to be frightened. The Crows are not scary people. You shall be pleased to meet them, and they shall be pleased to meet you!" his old voice creaked. Van suddenly remebered the Fae.
"Say... you wouldn't happen to know if a Fae lived here, would you?" he asked. Bieldor laughed.
"My friend, the only things that live here are the Crows and I, and perhaps a few rats. Yet people are always making strange myths about dragons, Faes, and ghosts living here. What poppycock!" he replied. He laughed, spittle flying every-which-way from his mouth. Bieldor walked with the three following him, until he came to a very large, wooden door. He pulled on the very large iron latch, to reveal maybe 20 men just like him sitting at tables, playing poker, or chess, or some other game. Some of them were even arm wrestling.
"Whoa! You know, we really oughta be going now... we've got a Fae to look for!" Van replied, trying to get out of The Tower as soon as possible.
"Nonsense..." Bieldor croaked. "Now, introduce yourselves. This is the Crow Clan! Ness, Kardow, Biazle, these three were wandering the Tower Lands." A tall "Crow" stood up from his game of spoons, one with paler skin, and a strange, pokey beard.
"Aaah... yessss, so three young villagers have decided to get nosy, now have they? My name is Ness," he said.
"Well, you see, it's not quite that we were getting nosy... it's more the fact that we were sent on a mission by Queen Mesymphenie!" Fiona answered.
"Yeah! I'm Van... that's Fiona, and this is Zeke. We were sent fo find a Celestial Fae, and we thought it might be here!" Van spoke up. Another Crow stood up, this time with very dark skin, and hair with more of a brown color to it.
"The Celestial Fae Harbora?" he asked.
"The Celestial Fae Harbora...?" Fiona repeated, not sure if that's what they were looking for or not.
"She has a name?" Van asked.
"Sure, every Fae has a name," the Crow replied. "I'm Kardow. The Celestial Fae Harbora is a newborn Fae. Don't think that us Crows aren't up on things. We know that the Queen wants the Fae."
"Do you know why?" Fiona asked. A third Crow took stand, this time, with the same brown skin Bieldor had, only he had two blue streaks across his face, and pale blue hair, accented with piercing blue eyes.
"The Queen is having a conflict with Kanidoria, one of the bigger islands further away, past the Kzastran and El'Berue Mainland. I'm Biazle. Take your Fae business elsewhere," he said, harshly.
"But wait...!" Fiona cried, before Bieldor rushed her out. "Before we go... can we just ask one more question?"
"Ask away, dear," Ness replied.
"Where could we find Celestial Fae Harbora?" she asked. Ness, Kardow, and Biazle all glanced at each other, and could tell that neither of them knew, and because none of the other Crows had stood up, none of them knew either.
"We don't know. But I doubt that you will find her in the Luna Ridge Mainland..." Ness answered. Fiona frowned and looked down.
"But... you could always try in the Kzastran Mainland. The Gysabra Ruins have still been unexplored to many... your next search should be there," Biazle said.
"Alright!" Van cheered.
"Rhaa!" Zeke added, happy as well.
"Now, off you go. It was nice meeting you, Van, Fiona, and you too, Zeke. We all wish you well on your journey!" Kardow said, holding up a pint. All of the other Crows in the room did, too, and clinked glasses with someone else to show their spirit.
"And before you go..." Ness spoke, taking something from his pocket, "take this. You've been the first visitors in over seventy years. We hope that this will help you." Ness handed Van an old, probably ancient spool of lace. Van stared at it in disbelief.
"How will this help...?" he muttered to himself.
"It will come in handy, trust me. I would not have given it to you if I had known otherwise," Ness reassured. Van, still staring in disbelief, nodded. Fiona looked very grateful, and thought it to be beautiful lacework.
"Thank you so much, and we will not forget to visit you!" she shouted as her, Van, and Zeke were escorted out of The Tower by Bieldor.
"See? There was nothing to be afraid of. The Crows are merely an old, OLD race... they have been forgotten, and long for visitors. They are friendly folk, and see how much help you got?" he replied in an "I-told-ya-so" manner. Van nodded, as if he figured he did get a lot of good out of it. He still didn't know what to do with the lace, though. He simply tucked it away in a sack on his waist.
"Thank you so much, Bieldor!" Fiona shouted once again, and began to walk away with her friends.
*:;:;:;:;:;:;:;:;:;:;:;:*
"Lace... LACE! Oh come on, it's LACE!" Van said, disappointed. Of course, him and Fiona had been conversing about the old spool of intricately designed lace after they were very far away from The Tower.
"Van, it was nice of them. So what, if it might not ACTUALLY come in handy. It's the thought that counts..." Fiona said. Van shrugged and relented. The two kept walking, but something made Zeke stop. Fiona looked back.
"Hey, Zeke, what's up?" Van asked, turning around.
"Rraah...!" he organoid replied, glancing around. Fiona and Van quickly turned around at a sudden noise, a noise of a zoid's footsteps.
"Alright, someone's here... WHO'S HERE!?" Van shouted.
Of COURSE the answer didn't come until a few minutes later...
"v:~*~*~*~*~*~*~:v"
Arizda: Hmm... gee, how friendly the Crows are. Bieldor scares me, though, lol! Anyway... **passes out Kudo bars**... is there really a zoid following Van, Fiona, and Zeke? If so, who's IN that zoid...? And what the hell is lace gonna do...?! I suppose it won't be thought of for awhile... lol, I had to think of a random item. Well, we'll see it sometime later, I suppose! Well, review, read the next chapter when it's up, and you'll find out! And just to let you know, I'm not a very big Van fan, and I'm NOT a Fiona fan at all... but I try to make them look good, or at least have the personalities that they have in the show. So what if Van acts like an idiot... it's cute. Well, anyway, I must write the next chapter. Talk to ya then!
