Chapter 2: Ryuker!
"Doesn't your sister mind you looking through her stuff?" asks an amused human girl in a long, elaborate orange dress. She was a FOmarl.
"Maybe, but it's for her own safety. I really don't trust her boyfriend much." The young, tanned HUnewearl wondered whether or not to tell her friend what she had seen in Sophia's bag. Curiosity got the better of her when she was tidying up, and she had found carefully packed blankets, emergency food and survival kit stuff in the bag, as if Sophia was going to leave to go on a dangerous quest, or maybe even elope for a few days, heaven knows why. She pushed the thought aside for now.
"Break? I've actually met him before, long ago, at the Hunters' guild..."
"Yes, him. I only joined Big Sister's organisation last week, and guess what? He's there, teaching some 'Miyama Sword Technique' that he modified himself. He's so aloof sometimes, it scares me. Don't you know that he was partly responsible for thousands of peoples' lives? Mind you, if anything happens to my sister …" She clenched her fists, then shrugged.
"… That was when I just met Kranz," The FOmarl blushed, completely ignoring the HUnewearl for the moment. "Oh, poor Kranz, he's so lonely because his dad Blitz is hardly ever home nowadays… Hey, what are you doing?"
She watched as Sil'fer walked to the centre of the room and mimes a spell-casting pose. "Let me show you my newest Technique."
"Ryuker!" Magical light rays converged into her hand, and then dropped to the floor, but that was all.
