Disclaimer: Oh, why do I have to put this?
(Uh...there were some info errors in my first chapter so I fixed it. I also changed one of Xaeta's dialogs because he merely didn't like it. Oh, and don't expect the diary pages to be word for word either! I'll eventually alter the diary entries from time to time.)
2) The Take-Off
Page one in the Crystal Chronicles written by caravanner Ryu.
"The morning of my departure was here at last. I tried to brace myself for the journey ahead.
There was a field along the main road where I decided to camp until sunrise. Tomorrow, I set out in search of myrrh."
Ryu wakes up first and finds himself in the middle of nowhere with three of his friends outside the caravan. The sun shining on him gives him strength.
Ryu: Hey, wake up, Petro.
Petro: Ugh...take me Rena...no...not there...oh...stop putting your mouth on my...
Ryu: WAKE UP!!
Petro: AHHH!!!!
(Petro's scream awakens Rena and Kirby)
Rena: What!? What is it!?
Kirby: Oh, felt like it was minutes ago.
Rena: I'm going back to sleep.
Kirby: Yeah...
Ryu: Hey! It's already morning!
Rena: Oh. (Gets up) Okay...
Kirby: (gets up) Petro, next time, don't try to jack off behind the caravan, we all saw you from the other side.
Petro: (springs up) What!? I mean, I never did that!
Kirby: Then why were you turning red then?
Ryu: Come on, guys! Let's go!
Everyone puts their sacks on their caravan and began putting on their basic armor. The caravan leaves without delay.
Petro: (groan) Oh, Ryu. Why did you wake me up? I had a good dream.
Ryu: Petro, every dream is a good dream for you.
Petro: Yeah, but seriously it was! I dreamt that-
Ryu: I don't need to know.
The caravan travels very far. Then was something blocking their path.
Ryu: Hm? Who are they?
Rena: Looks like another caravan!
Ryu: Stay here, I'll greet them.
(Ryu jumps out of the caravan and walks toward an armored Lility)
Lility: Hail, fellow caravanner!
Ryu: Hail, fellow Lility.
Lility: You are the caravan from Tipa, are you not?
Ryu: No, we changed it to Iwakuni.
Lility: Oh, whatever. I heard they were sending out a new caravan. You seem quite capable.
Ryu: Really? If you see me as I am, then we'd be fast friends. My name is Ryu.
Sol Racht: My name is Sol Racht.
Petro: (within) Sole racked?
(Whack within)
Rena: (within) Shut up!
Sol Racht: I am captain of the caravan from the great fortress at Alfitaria.
Ryu: Wow, I haven't heard of it, but it sounds like a great place.
Sol Racht: Yes, it is. Our caravan boasts a history that stretches back thousands of years...
Kirby: (within) That's incredible!
Sol Racht: But let us discuss that some other time.
Petro: (within) This guy bores me.
Sol Racht: Stiltzkin! Do you have a moment?
(A fat moogle turns around and walks towards them)
Rena: (within) Aww, look at that little thing!
Petro: (within) What's that supposed to be? A walking talking ball?
Sol Racht: (presents Ryu and his caravan) This is the caravan from...Iwakuni. Come and say hello.
Stiltzkin: Hello!
Ryu: Hello.
Rena: (within) He sounds funny!
Petro: (within) Isn't that annoying?
Rena: (within) No, it's cute!
Sol Racht: Allow me to introduce Stiltzkin. He may not look like it, but he is a seasoned adventurer.
(Snort within)
Ryu: (looks around) Keep it down over there!
Petro: (within) Sorry!
Ryu: Uh, you were saying, Sol Racht?
Sol Racht: Um, oh yes. We even turn to him from time to time.
Ryu: You seem like a well-respected moogle, Stiltzkin.
Stiltzkin: No, I'm just a moogle that likes to get around. I learned all sorts of things in my travels before I knew it.
Ryu: (looks at Stiltzkin's clothing) I see what you mean.
Stiltzkin: I'm on my way somewhere now, but I can teach you a thing or two if you like.
Ryu: Well, I-
(Petro pops out)
Petro: It's okay; we don't wanna learn anything from a moogle!
Ryu: Petro!
Stiltzkin: Oh my. Well if you insist-
Petro: Yeah! Go away fat bunny!
Ryu: Petr- Oh, sorry fair caravanners, it seems that my friend is kinda crazy at times and-
Sol Racht: You dare talk to our counselor like that, Selkie!?
Petro: Hey, that's racist! I have a name you know!
Ryu: Petro, shut up! (Faces Sol Racht) I am truly sorry for this! (Turns to Petro) Petro! Get back inside and let me handle this, okay?
Petro: (moons Stiltzkin) Yeah! Want a piece of this?
Ryu: (pauses) Oh, will you excuse me for a second?
Stiltzkin: Sure thing.
Ryu: Petro, come here!
Petro: Oh, no! Leader going this way! (Jumps back into the caravan)
Ryu: Oooo, that Petro...
Stiltzkin: Um, my offer to you?
Ryu: Oh, I'm sorry, I have to decline. I don't want any more chaos for one day.
Stiltzkin: Oh well, I guess you're right...
Mog: Kupo! Are you going to go out on your own? You got a lot on your shoulders!
Ryu: No, I have three of my friends, you already saw one of them.
Mog: We'll I was just wondering if I can go with you? You know, carrying that chalice and all that great stuff, kupo.
Ryu: Sounds like a generous offer.
Sol Racht: Well then! It's a capital proposal! Mog, you should go with them, it'll help you on your adventure!
Ryu: I guess I can let a moogle go with us...
Sol Racht: It is decided!
Ryu: Eep!
Mog: (flies to Ryu) Hiya, hiya, kupo!
Ryu: Uh, hi. I'm Ryu.
Mog: I'm Mog, kupo! If you wanna travel by yourself, I'll accompany you!
Ryu: Cool. Welcome to the Iwakuni caravan, Mog.
Stiltzkin: Goodbye, caravan of Iwakuni!
Sol Racht: I pray for your success!
The Iwakuni caravan leaves the Alfitaria caravan waving their goodbyes. Petro, by the way, raspberries them, which follows a big whack on Rena's sword.
Mog: I'm Mog, kupo!
Rena: (squeal) You're so kyute! Can I hug you?
Mog: Okay, kupo!
(Rena hugs Mog, tight)
Petro: So you got a little furry ball to help us. What's next? A rock that can speak sign language?
Ryu: Oh, please shut up, Petro. You're already a pain right from the beginning.
Petro: Then why did I bother traveling with you in the first place?
Ryu: No one can deny your fighting skills, okay? Now shut up and introduce yourself to Mog.
Kirby: The name's Kirby, I'm a Lility!
Mog: The name's Mog, I'm a moogle, kupo!
Kirby: That's cool!
Petro: That's great...
