Chapter VIII: An Unusual Sighting

We all had already traveled for about a day. Selistia kept sneaking in glances at Milro, and Milro eventually began walking beside me. I was at the front, walking beside Hajeri.

"Please make her stop." I heard Milro whisper to me.

"Sorry. I don't know what to do." I looked back at Selistia, then back at Milro. "Sorry."

Hajeri held back a laugh. "Be Milro and go punch her."

Milro stared at him. "I don't punch girls."

This time, I laughed. "HA!! When you found out I was a Wingly, you nearly killed me!!"

"Oh yeah.......I forgot 'bout that......" Milro stared up at the stars that started to show up. "We should set up camp soon." He said, changing the subject.

"You're right." I looked to the left of us and found a small cave.

All of us quickly made our way inside the cave after Hajeri checked it out.

"So, Milro, do you know where Mike and Saphira are?" I asked Milro after Selistia and Phirala were asleep.

"Yeah." Milro leaned up against the stone wall. "But they won't be found together."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"They broke up about five months ago." Milro began. "Saphira was worrying about Hajeri," He glanced towards Hajeri. "too much and Mike finally got tired of it and said that if she wanted to be with Hajeri instead of him, that she should go out and find him."

Hajeri quirked an eyebrow up at this new information.

"Wow......" I was shocked.

"Anyhoo, they are in this new part of Endiness. Here, I'll show you." Milro took out a map of Endiness and pointed to a place right of Seles. "There's a river that divides the North of Serdio and that new part. I don't know which town they are in though, I just know that they're there."

"Oh......well, we can travel in that direction starting tomorrow mornin'. Right now, we need to get some sleep." I said quietly. 'Saphira......Hajeri? Unbelievable......' For some reason, I felt this......strange......feeling inside me whenever I thought of Saphira and Hajeri together. Jealously......... I quickly crawled to the back of the cave. "I'm gonna go to sleep..." I muttered.

I laid down, back turned towards everyone, and just stared at the wall. 'Why am I jealous?' I sighed and closed my eyes.

It was probably around mid-night when I woke up again. I saw Milro sitting near the entrance of the cave; it was obviously his turn to keep guard. Hajeri was laid back on the rocky ground with his hands behind his head; Boralo was leaned up against the wall, staring at the ground; Rose, Phirala, and Selistia were all laying down sleeping peacefully. I slowly stood up and quietly walked over to Milro.

"Why are you up? You need to get some sleep." Milro watched me sit down beside him.

"I'm gonna go back to bed once I feel tired again." Once I was up, it was hard for me to go back to sleep. "Oh. I almost forgot." I reached into the pouch tied to my belt and pulled out fifty gold. "Here." I put the gold in his hand.

"What's this for?"

"That's for playin' that prank on Theresa."

Milro laughed a bit. "Yeah. That was funny." He put the gold in his own pouch.

"Phirala told us a bit of her past. Even the part where she found you hiding in a tree." What I just said kept Milro silent for a while. "Why were you hiding in that tree?"

"Because-" He stopped himself from saying anymore.

"C'mon. You can tell me." I stared at him.

He just stared at the stars. "I'd rather not tell you."

"Aw, c'mon! It can't be that bad!"

He then turned his head to stare at me. "Trust me, what happened back then wasn't the most pleasant thing. It might not be bad for some people, but it was something that I wasn't happy about. " He thought for a bit. "I'll tell ya whenever I think you should know. Now, go back to sleep."

I headed back to my little corner and laid down.

[XxXxX]

I felt a strange feeling and shot straight up. "Oh-no......" I quickly scrambled to my feet and ran out of the entrance to the cave. "GUYS!! WAKE UP!!!"

The Dragoons of the group obviously had the exact same feeling that I had 'cause they were already standing beside me looking up at the sky.

Selistia yawned as she slowly walked up to us. "What's wrong?"

"THAT!!" I pointed up at the sky.

A Dragon flew right by us. Its scales were different colors of green. Two silver horns poked out of its head. Its size was about the size of Michael, Rose's Vassal Dragon.

"OH-NO!!" I shrieked. "The Dragon's headed for Fletz!!"

A/N: Sorry if this chapter's a bit short. The next chapter will also be short. Chapter ten will hopefully be a bit longer, but no promises. Ah, and RoseSama35, there won't be a triangle between me/Hajeri/Boralo. Okay? I just don't like that idea......he treats me more like his sister. Can you guess what element the Dragon is? You'll probably find out the answer in chapter nine and defiantly in chapter ten. The title is based on the element of the Dragon.
