Disclaimer: Sorry it has been so long but I'm back. I had moved my poetry and in the process, I had posted a non-story, and had my Upload access denied. But now I have it back so I will update.

The night before remained vivid in Isamu's mind, as he and Emi walked toward Altifaria, hand in hand. Emi was playfully skipping ahead, and pulling Isamu's arm. They arrived in the city, and were surprised to see what was the behold. The city had appeared to have been built around the crystal. The sun shone through the Crystal, splashing light to every corner and nook.
The light had found it's way to a small restaurant, in the corner of the city. Large letters had spelled out "The Octopus" on top of the restaurant. A large octopus was slung over the roof. A bunch of Yukes were running the restaurant. A tall Yuke strode over to Emi and Isamu and guided them in.
"So you'd like some of our fine cuisine," the Yuke waiter said as he sat them down, "might I suggest the Tivo with Goblin meat sauce."
"Ok, I'll take that and she will have-," Isamu started.
"I'll have three of those and four whole fish, raw, and a diet soda" Emi seemed to have been possessed by her stomach.
"All right, I'll be back with your food," the Yuke said, and trotted away.
"I have to use the bathroom, okay?" Emi told Isamu.
"Your business is none of my business," Isamu said cheerfully.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emi walked through the crowd and saw a woman glaring at her. This woman was about thirty adn was amazingly stunning. Emi walked into the bathroom and walked towards the farthest stall. She finished and walked to the sink, to wash her hands, and an old lady walked in. This woman was holding a basket full of mints, and she offered one to Emi. Emi grabbed one, and popped it into her mouth. She reached for the towels and collapsed to the ground. Her head hit the floor with a sickening crack, and blood streamed from her brow.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emi awoke in an alley, she was tied to a dumpster. Four people started to walk towards her, one of them was recognizable. It was the woman from the restaurant. She walked towards Emi and grabbed her head by her chin.
"You are quite the beautiful girl," the woman exclaimed, "yet I, am far more beautiful than you. Your beauty comes not within comparison, of the amazingly beautiful Kimi."
"Here, here, hail Kimi, the most beautiful woman in the world," a boy to her right exclaimed. This boy had black hair and was holding a shield, a Clavat.
"Good Boy, Ryo," Kimi said and cackled.
The other two guys were indistinguishable, yet they were madly gazing at Kimi. Under her spell of beauty, they were at her full command. she commanded them forth to untie her, and Ryo brought forth a flask.
"Here you go, Kimi," Ryo said bashfully, as he handed her the flask and backed away.
Kimi walked towards Emi and tossed the flask between her hands.
"Do you know what this is?" Kimi asked, yet before Emi could answer, Kimi said, "this is a flask. A simple device used to carry certain fluids. This one, however, was forged by the greatest blacksmith. this falsk, has the abiltiy to steal anything I command, from a person's entity. How do you like it? I noticed you in the restaurant, and knew that I needed your beauty, so I will steal it."
"You can't, I won't let you," Emi said as she thrashed about.
The moon came into view and Emi's face was illuminated, and Ryo could not take his eyes off of her. He walked towards her and with his sword, struck the chain apart.
"Why do you betray me?" Kimi shouted, "Tie her back up, you two."
The two guys walked forth, bet were fell to the ground, with two sickening cracks of a mallet. Isamu appeared from the shadows, with his mallet in hand, and his other hand holding a basket full of mints. He went towards Ryo, planning to pummel him, but Emi ran to stop him.
"You can't hurt him," Emi pleaded, "he saved me."
"All right, but I will deal with this woman, is that all right?" Isamu asked Emi. Before he could answer Kimi came back into the conversation.
"HAHA you think that you can beat me?" Kimi laughed, "you are wasting your time. I will leave now, but I will be back. You were lucky this time, whench"
Isamu ran to Emi's side and hugged her. Ryo looked at them and started to pace away, but Isamu ran to him.
"Thank you, for helping Emi," Isamu shook Ryo's hand, "I owe you."
"It is all right, I was just helping her out," Ryo said, "my name is Ryo, I am the son of the blacksmith that crafted that flask. That is the only reason why she hired me, she didn't love me. My father died shortly after she took me, and I couldn't destroy that flask. I have nothing left now."
"Feel free to come with us, we are returning home," Emi said, "we can get you a house in our village. Or you can join our Caravan, if you want."
"That sounds good," Ryo said, "but I can't join your Caravan, for I am a part of one already. I am sorry."
"It is all right," Isamu said. I samu noticed that Ryo was staring intently at Emi. Yet he disregarded this, under his breath he muttered, "What is the worst that could happen?"
They set off home, unknowing that a great battle was just upon the horizon. This battle would shape the future of the Caravan.
