Chapter 2
Fallen Stars
"Three rooms please." Jaco said in a polite tone.
"195 potch," the Innkeeper replied.
Jaco handed over the potch.
"Would you like to sign the guest book?" the Innkeeper said as he handed
Jaco the keys to the rooms.
"No thanks." Jaco said and walked away.
"I'm telling you," Jowy said. " We've improved a lot."
"And I'm saying we haven't." Nanami argued.
"I got the rooms..what's going on?" Jaco said as he walked back and sat
down next to his friends in the restaurant part of the inn.
"Nanami thinks we haven't improved our martial arts skill in these 2
years." Jowy explained.
"That's not true," Nanami said. "I said we haven't improved a lot in 2
years"
"I don't know, we have been training a lot," Jaco said. "I can say we have
improved."
"You're both crazy." Jowy said in a defeated tone.
"Hmmm.I don't think they're ready."
"Maybe not, but you saw what they have done out of sheer determination."
"True, they accomplished a lot during those chaotic times but their lack of
power will be their downfall.
"You think we should intervene?"
"Yes, I believe it is necessary."
"Very well."
Eilie couldn't believe her eyes. Jaco, the boy she saw rise to every
challenge before him and become a man, was sitting right their in front of
her laughing and talking with his best friend Jowy and his big sister
Nanami. She couldn't do anything but smile. See never thought she would see
either of them again.
"Life's funny isn't it?" Eilie quickly turned around to see Rina.
"Yeah, sometimes." Eilie said.
"Aren't you going to go talk to him?" Rina asked
"No." Eilie trailed off.
"Why? Are you still shy?" Rina said in a teasing voice
"Yes.but he is not what I miss from those days."
"You miss someone else?" Rina was completely surprised all this time she
thought Eilie was depressed because she missed Jaco.
"Yeah" Eilie sighed.
"Who?" Rina said anxiously.
" I'm not telling" Eilie said in a playful tone.
"At least you're finally smiling."
"Excuse me, are you're Jaco from the Dragon-Highland war aren't you?"
Jaco looked over to see who had addressed him. It was a man, in his late
20's by the looks of it, wearing a platinum-silver robe. The hood loomed
over his face making it impossible to see his face.
"Yes, I am. Why?" Jaco answered hesitantly.
"So you must be Jowy." the man said in a calm tone.
"Yes," Jowy replied with a questioning look on his face.
"Come with me" the robed man said.
Jaco and Jowy exchanged puzzled looks.
"Please! There is no time to explain!"
"Fine." Jaco said curious to where he was going.
Throughout all of their travels Jaco, Jowy, and Nanami were asked to
help countless villages. So, they would always stop traveling and fight off
bandits, heal wounded people, defeat monsters and pretty much any thing
else that was needed.
"Achei-kcraek-kashtha!" the man chanted.
"Whoa." Jowy said.
Almost instantly, a white portal, similar to Leknaat's, formed.
"Please we must hurry" the man said as he stepped into the portal.
"Uh." Jowy mumbled.
"Well, he wouldn't walk in it if it wasn't safe. Right?" Jaco said.
"I guess." Jowy said as he slowly walked in.
"Oh boy." Jaco said and dashed into the portal.
