Chapter 15 has finally arrived after two difficult school weeks. Man... school's got me nuts. Especially that chemistry class. But I'm still writing. Sorry for the tardy update. But I'm trying to do my best!

TTO: Cheap excuse.

Me: You shut up or else...

TTO: Or else what?

Me: You shouldn't have said that... Ztal, take over for the disclaimer.

Ztal:Disclaimer: Blah, blah, Aisler doesn't own anything except me... but sometimes I do wonder it... anyway... You know who belongs to who and what belongs to what... so there's no reason to explain it now... maybe in another chapter. Oh, wait... the soreness in Aisler's head was fulfilled by the chemistry class... I guess that covers it.

Zeph: Giving the facts

This time I'm going to talk about the MOST important things that happened to me and the other caravanners in our stay in Awrya. Let's start with the closest things... Heavy sigh Rayne and Strike. If there could be a pair that fought more than those two I'd give 'em all of my property (which isn't a lot...). The first night they were in the house they were fighting because there was only ONE bed in the house... I decided to sleep in it while they kept fighting over who would sleep in it... I guess I won that one... Then, I had the feeling that someone was watching and... it was Kiomi. She told me not to tell Strike and Rayne that she was trying to get them together... and I still think it's impossible to see them like a couple (even though they fight like one). Nevertheless, Kiomi hasn't given up... but she has lost the first war. Besides that... we had to go to SCHOOL... it was one of the worst but good things that happened. I learned to use my new and upgraded weapong (Streid and Kenji had finally finished with the Gemini's armor and sword). And I also developed my pshychic abilities. Though I wish I could have had more free days... I studied every single day... except wednesdays... how odd is that?!? But I learned some other things there, like, for example:

Kiomi hates Algebra... or should I say... al kinds of Math. Ztal stinks at History. Nanta doesn't do anything, except sleeping and asking at which page we are when the teacher told us to do some exercises, and then she didn't do them... then at the day before the test she asked Ztal how to do the exercises... Strike was still his kept-in self. Rayne was positively... not SCHOOL-MATERIAL. I saw that living with Yukes had payed off... I still miss them... They used to surprise me everytime it was my birthday... now I'm the one amazing them... The world spins just too fast... and it won't give anyone a break.

The guys... The hadn't changed a bit. Except that Kiomi's hair was longer. And she grew a little bit... Though I knew some changes were made inside, I didn't noticwe them. So... we're still moving on. And the future, nobody knows.

The year continued as normal... having all the kinds of celebrations we were supposed to have. On Christmas we were able to choose what we wanted to do with the armor. I decided I wanted an armor and Kiomi too. Strike wanted an amulet as Nanta didn't ask for anything in particular. Viktor and Rayne re-designed their guns. Ztal chose to get a new weapon. So we got to the night before we left the village... the first time for me... and the second for Kiomi and Ztal. The town was in aspiritual celebration. They prayed for a journey of peace and good work for us, the caravanners. This time... we only needed one chalice this time... I don't know why. But I guess things will be better.

That night, I couldn't sleep, and I wasn't the only one. All of us, the caravanners (that'll be our group name now) couldn't sleep for many reasons. I didn't sleep because I was too excited. Ztal was nervous... etcetera... Marya shone greatly in a great moment. Even though the moon pacified me, I still couldn't sleep. We had a silent campfire. We talked about the great times we had before and some embarassing moments we had... We continued talking until we got tired. We had finally fallen asleep.

"Can someone wake him up!?" screamed Nanta getting out of the room.

I couldn't believe that I woke up before Viktor... He was still snoozing and Nanta was eager to begin the journy.

"Leave this to me" said Ztal going to the bathroom. He then entered Viktor's room with a glass full of cold water and threw it on him.

"Help! I'm drowning! Help!" screamed Viktor, swimming on his bed.

I bursted in laughs and couldn't stop laughing until we embarked on a ship. We went to the first discovered continent. The one in which the peopleof Tipa lived. We wanted to thank them for their help and also to look for myrrh in different places. I went to the rest room and got some shut-eye since I hadn't sleep well... and besides... I'm sea sick...

Ztal:"Aye aye captain!"

We had embarked starting once again our journey. What kinds of trouble will we find... or what kind of trouble will find us? Hmph... It's obvious that things will get different here. I have never gone to Tipa... and never seen a map of the place... Well, once I saw one... but I was just too bored to really take a good look... so I snoozed and I don't remember anything about it. That doesn't matter, we'll find our way... we usually do.

It was the perfect day for sailing, the sky was neat, not a cloud in sight. The sea was tranquil, and the trip would take at least four hours. It was something that I didn't like at the beginning... I would have preferred flying. But I don't know where to go. Anyways we continued to sail. I decided to start a conversation with anyone... I was too impatient.

"Hey Strike" I said to him. He didn't answer.

"So, what do you think, finally, of Awrya?" I asked trying to have a conversation, but it wasn't efficient.

"Sorry, the lines are too busy at the moment, please leave a message after the tone. Beep" said Rayne like an operator. I laughed and she talked to me more. "Don't worry. He's like that. I thought you would know that by now"

"Yeah, me too... But I was in desperate need of talking with someone. I'm getting bored" I replied.

"You can talk to me" said Rayne and with those words the ship began to shake fiercely.

"What's wrong, Doren!?" yelled Kiomi.

"There's a whirlpool!" answered the captain of the ship.

Then I noticed that we were going around and around.

"Everybody hold on to something... we're going to sink for a moment!" Doren warned us.

"Let's try to no get separated... at least stay in pairs" I said holding Rayne's hand.

She didn't say anything... she was breathing easily at the moment... then we took our last breath and submerged.

I felt that her grip was getting weaker, but I didn't let her go. I surrounded ourselves with my wings, then the pressure was less. I didn't know what happened to the others. I felt the pressure getting weaker so got us out of my wings. Then I saw the legendary sea snake spinning around us. Then it ceased it action. It somehow felt that I was looking at it. It charged towards me. Rayne was unconscious and we had to get out of the way. I started swimming towards the surface but couldn't get out. I saw something dive to the water and pull us up just in time, the Leviathan had missed us by a second. Kiomi had saved us. Then the ship was emerging from the ocean with the rest of the group.I had forgotten I could fly, my nerves wouldn't let me though. As we got to the ship the water began to get calmed. The dorms in the ship were all soaked up with water and saomeone was missing... Zeph! I opened the door and looked for him. He was still breathing since there was a small space with air. Then all got black. I got outside and saw the tidal wave and on top of it the Leviathan. All of us, except Viktor, ran into the dorms, I really don't know why. Then I found that our orbs were shining. What better moment for Viktor's control of water to appear? Then the battle for the control of the wave started. At first, it was seemed like we would be doomed... but I were doomed I wouldn't have written this... but Viktor had stopped the wave before it hit the ship. The wave went up slowly, and what amazed me more was that not even a single drop of water fell to the floor. Rayne couldn't stand doing nothing and ordered us to get out of the watery room. We did what we were told and then she casted a ray of lightning.It hit Leviathan directly, but his scales made him reasist the attack. As for me, I watched how things in the dormitory burned into crisps when the lightning touched the water. The Leviathan wasn't alone. Some Sahagins appeared from behind, there were like seven. Doren surrounded us with protect and reflect magic. And also casted hastega to the whole group. He did it because he always saved magicite. Strike was too angry, first by the fact that he got wet, and second, because of doing nothing... so he desintegrated the Sahagins in a blink of an eye. The Leviathan, filled with rage, was about to hit us with a tail whip. I then remembered I could control ice. I focused my energy and a chilly ray froze the tsunami and with it Leviathan and the part of the ocean where we were. I had exagerated my power a little bit. But thanks to Kiomi we could get back to our way thanks to her melting maneuvers.After a fourth of a day, we arrived at Port Tipa. With our salvages on our backs we began the trail to Tipa... but Kiomi stopped us. She grinned slightly and went back to the ship.

"What do you think she did now?" asked Strike completely soaked.

"I have no idea" answered Viktor.

A loud "KWEH!" was heard... and everyone was shocked when they saw that Boko had survived the journey.

"That's my little fellow" said Kiomi petting the chocobo and giving him some treats.

Suddenly, Kupo popped out of one of the bags Boko had on.

"What are you doing here Kupo?" I asked, with a shocked-er face than before.

"Kupo!" he only answered, flying with his heavy and wet body, laying on my backpack to rest... and yes, he almost dropped the chalice, but Zeph saved it... thank goodness.

We began to follow the road and we found a small cave.

"What is this?" asked Kiomi.

"That's a Moogle Nest. Let's go inside with Kupo" answered Zeph, and Kiomi had run inside the cave really fast.

"I'll wait outside" said Rayne.

"What about you Strike?" I asked since Viktor and Zeph had gone inside the cave.

"Whatever" he mumbled sitting on a rock, thinking, once again.

I slyghtly sighed and entered the nest. I saw Kiomi with a red can spray pointing at Kupo. I ran rapidly to get the can out of her hands, after screaming a long NO.

"What are you doing?" asked Kiomi looking at me with the red spray can.

"I'm saving my moogle" I said trying to give the can to the Hut moogle but kiomi grasped it.

"I want to paint Kupo red!" she yelled pulling extremely hard.

"I'm not letting you... if Kupo's going to get his her dyed it will be blue!" I pulled back the can.

Soon a gaze fight began. And poor Kupo was kind of... himself... yeah, ge didn't do anything about it sigh . So, Kiomi could rip the red spray can out of my hands. I fastly looked for the blue spray can and the painting battle started.

"Move away... He looks cuter red" said Kiomi pushing me and continuing to paint Kupo.

"Blue!" I kept painting in the colored-gas-contaminated-place.

We kept the "blue" "red" fight and soon the gaseous mess was gone... just to reveal the mess of a moogle we had left. Kupo was painted in... three different tones of color. Blue, red and violet... But it all looked great. It looked like natural... or so I thought. I then looked at Kiomi and she sprayed me on the face... I wouldn't let that go that easily. I took my can and sprayed hair back.

"Are they okay?" asked Viktor

"They sure don't seem like it" answered Nanta.

Kiomi and I stopped. We looked at them and started spraying them. They ran for cover! But we finally caught them and sprayed them... and the Hut moogle was following us... what a way to start our journey.

Ztal: And they still don't arrive. Maybe they'll be back in the next chapter. I'm not sure. But I'm sure that this story will keep going on. So Keep Reading.

Cheers! .

P.S. I'm waiting for your updates Mediciner! :D
