Chapter 2: Airship crash
Galitaya found herself knees down on the ground as the ship began to shake. Only until a guy in rusty armor tackled her the ride was not that bad. "What the heck?! Get off me! OW!" She yelled as she realized the guy couldn't get up off his feet.

Just then the man rolled on his side, leaving Galitaya completely out of breath and squished. Just then as things only seemed to get worse a large harpoon type weapon was launched at the airship causing debris to crash onto them.

Vivi was protected by two of the actors so Galitaya didn't have to worry about him and could focus on her own problems. Cannons were shot endlessly at the ship until a large cloud of black thick smoke covered the area around the ship.

But fortunately the ship was still able to run. Galitaya then found the whole ship slanting to the left side, causing most everything to slide including the people on it. As she slid she had no control of where she was to go, and by a stroke of terrible luck she slid off the side off the ship only holding on to a rusty iron bar hanging beneath the edge.

"Holy crap! Someone help me!" She yelled. A loud creaking from above showed that the iron bar was beginning to bend under stress. She looked around for something to grab onto while still she had chance.

The bar was getting weaker and not only was it bending but it was breaking off! But before Galitaya could even think the middle of the bar broke off all but only a little iron on the edge. She was now about 5 inches farther distance to the ship then she was.

She looked down to the trees below, now praying that she wouldn't fall into them, but then she realized the ship was not flying over the forest, but about to collide into them!

The bar then gave way and she vanished into the trees..

Everything was dark.. The light of the forest only came from the reflection of the stars in the puddles

Galitaya rose from the forest floor. She dusted herself off and looked up at the layer of trees blocking the light. "Oh boy, Galitaya what have you gotten yourself into?"

She then grabbed hold of a stick right next to her and lit it on fire with her magic. As she walked on the forest seemed to be whispering to her...echoing.. calling her name.

She tried to ignore the constant noises but then she heard clicking and a loud screeching noise behind her. She whirled around then heard a shriek. "Someone must be in trouble!" She yelled running back through the forest, tripping on roots.

She soon came across a soul cage, which had engulfed Vivi and kept him prisoner. Zidane and Steiner were nearby trying to ward off this beast. Galitaya then without any sign of attendance threw the torch of flames at the rear of the soul cage causing it to burst into flames and die.

Steiner and Zidane looked back to her as if asking 'where'd you come from all of the sudden?'. She ignored the looks and ran to Vivi's side. "Hey you okay? It is me, from the town remember?" I asked.

"Yeah, thank you so much for helping me get out." He told her. "Ahem, before she came Master Vivi, I had already gotten the creature worn down!" the knight remarked selfishly.

" Hey! I was the one who.." Zidane shouted before he realized that no one else was paying attention. " Hey you guys, shouldn't you get back to find the airship?" Galitaya asked.

"Yes, but her royal majesty has been stolen by the forest creatures!" Steiner said. "You mean the ugly queen Brahne has been taken?!" Galitaya shouted shockingly. " What?! How Dare you insult the queen that way?!?! I shall have your head for that!" Steiner shouted swishing his sword to where Galitaya's head was before she ducked.

"No, the Princess has been stolen," The rat tailed boy said. "Oh, well see it is easy to make a mistake when someone informs me the wrong way." She remarked sticking her tongue out at Steiner.

"Grrr," He muttered. " Well okay, mind if I come with you?" Everyone except Steiner shook their heads. "Aww, come on lighten up Rusty!" Zidane said elbowing Steiner. "My name is Captain Adelbert Steiner! And you will call me just that!"

" Okay whatever Adelbert," Galitaya said lighting another stick on fire. As they walked through the forest things only seemed to get darker, only until they got to the ivy covered cave in the forest did they find a beam of moonlight shine from above.

" My guess is, that if the princess is anywhere, she is in here," She said. " I-I am scared..Galitaya..!" Vivi stuttered. " Don't worry, just stay by me. But facing this monster takes great courage, and every minute you think about going in there, you get more courageous!" "R-R-Really?" Vivi stuttered. " Yeah, come on, everything will be all right, just think about the princess." Galitaya said as she walked in first.

As the rest of the group walked in they were greeted by a enormous creature, "That must be the mother of the forest," She said as Vivi clutched to her robe in fear. " Alright you beast! Prepare to die!"
