Second Chapter!!!!!!!!!! WHEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!^.^

"Well Brandol..you're an oracle right?"

"Of course I am!" he didn't know what was up with Ramza.

"Level two?" Ramza asked.

"I just changed jobs. I say, don't you remember anything?"

"I'm sorry Brandol. I guess I should use my head first." Ramza sighed. Then he broke into a huge grin and bolted out of his chair "We're leaving!" he shouted.

"Say WHAT?!?"

"I said were leaving first thing tomorrow morning. Out to battle some more ugly beasts!" Shouted Ramza as headed towards the chest were he stored all his armor.

"I say....YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!" and Brandon did his famous strange yet cute victory dance all around the room. Then he bolted out the door to tell all the other fighters the joyful news.

When he got there he saw Delita, Kenshin, and Tensberger tending to their wounds. The crash was from a group of local thieves who managed to break into one of the nearby homes. Fortunately the trio were able to stop them and managed to get 2,0000 more gil for the troop.

"I say, what you blokes are doing just sitting around! Get packing mates! Were leaving first thing tomorrow morning!" shouted Brandol with delight.

"Stop lying Brandol!" said Delita, who was not in the mood for jokes.

"But I." Brandol was interrupted by the sound of something heavy hitting the wooden floor of the Inn. A gasp came from everyone as they saw that the noise came from Ramza, in his armor, with a sword in hand, and a bag of gil.

"Well", Ramza said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

"For real?" asked Kenshin.

"Of course for real!" Ramza snapped "I was just doing a bit of research this past week! Sheesh!"

And like a group of drunken fools, Ramza and his party marched out of the inn singing their own rather strange victory songs. They were still marching and singing when they reached Mandalia Plains.

By the time they got there the sun was all ready rising drenching the plains in a soft orange light. The veiw was so peaceful, so serene. Everybody held their breath. Then the peace was broken by a roar that came from behind a nearby rock.

Jumping out from behind it was a red panther, followed by three more red panthers, and four goblins. It was going to be tough but Ramza and his party was ready. "Get ready said Ramza as he got his sword out. Then they charged.

The battle was tough. Luckily there were no casualties, just a few injuries though. The troop toke all their saved energy out on the monsters. Those who weren't chosen to fight were setting up a camp, while those who did laid down exhausted. Then Ramza spoke, "Brandol.I think you got a new job."

"Really?" asked Brandol as he reached to get his copy of The Soldiers Handbook. This was the magical book every soldier or member of the royalty had. It was what enabled them to change jobs, or learn new abilities. Brandol flipped through the old tarred book. Ramza was right! The new job was that of a Mediator. He didn't know much about it except that they used their talking skills to help allies and weaken enemies.

He turned page to find the list of abilities. He had 149 jp, so he was able to choose three abilities. He didn't know what to choose though. "Pick Invitation", Ramza ordered. Brandol did and out of sheer curiosity he checked to see what it did. The description read:
Invitation

Ability to talk to an enemy and make them understand your cause. If successful you get a new friend.

As Brandol read what Ramza told him the night before echoed through his head. .. That's where you come in.

"Oh! I get it!" Brandol said out loud "Stupid me! Ramza, you want me to use this ability to invite a monster to our party!"

"Not just any monster, a chocobo!" Ramza corrected.

Just then a shout came from Joleen who was sitting near the campfire with a frying pan in her hand, "Dinner's ready!!!!"

The next day everyone woke up to the smell of Marilyn's cooking. A groan came from a few of the party members. Marilyn was still trying to learn how to cook and she wasn't doing a good job of it either. Yet no one dared to complain in front of her, she sometimes had a dangerous temper and no one wanted to take chances.

They moved on heading towards Igros castle and listened while Ramza told them their plans. "All right men, first we're heading towards Igros Castle to get some of the new armor they have in stock. Then were going to go back here to battle a bit. After that we'll head towards Gariland Magic City and meet Delita there.."

They were almost at the border of the plains when it happened. They were attacked by some more monsters. This time there were: Three goblins, two red panthers, and..one chocobo.

"All right Brandol", said Ramza, "Here's you're chance to give it a try."

**************************************************
