Chapter 4: Flame's Arrival

I grinned at my friends. "Well, getting here was very interesting…"

I flew down the sidewalk on my skateboard, attempting to get away from the bullies from school, with no luck.

I turned down an alley way to hide, or take a short cut, whichever came first. The group behind me followed me, so I continued through to the street across.

"Come on, girlie, we just want to play." the guy laughed. "You won't get away this time!"

My eyes widened. He was right. I wasn't going to get away. As my friends know, when I'm cornered, I'm menacing, ready to fight. So, popping by skateboard against next to me, I took a stand.

The group surrounded me, the leader in front of me. I was scared, sure, but I was ready for anything. "Well, are you going to hit me, or are you going to stand there like an ape?" I spat at them, just barely missing one's sneaker.

"Feisty, eh? This will be fun…" The leader advanced toward me, cracking his knuckles.

I was on the ground bleeding in know time. Apparently he has been training since my last beat down. Since I had no other choice, I had to use my secret weapon: Pantal. Pulling the little cat statue from my pocket, I sat it on the ground.

"Heh, what's that? Your next attack?"

"Yes, it is. Pantalzianamo, I need your assistance."

Panal appeared, and after a quick explanation, he took care of the bullies. So, after that was done, he healed me, with his magic of course, and I sealed him away until I need him. I grabbed my board, my backpack, and headed down the street, still sore, but happy. Sadly, I didn't see the little poodle in my way. And I hit it.

Who ever knew that puddles are very sturdy dogs. I was sent flying, only I never hit cement. I hit grass, and looked around.

"Well, that was unexpected."

I shrugged my shoulders. "And that's it. I've been here about two days already, and I've already signed up, and even caught my first monster!"

Cloe looked at me. "You have? Which one?"

"Guess."

"Uh… Celtic Guardian?" she asked.

"Yep! So, we need to get you guys registered, and we'll head on towards Nari, like I was." I linked my arms with theirs "Let's go!"
