Chapter 2
"Where are those two?" said Godwin as he stood outside looking for Claus and Lavie. "They should be back soon," said Alvis, holding her stuffed animal goat. Soon enough, they both arrived back and Godwin was already impatient. "Where have you two been?" said Godwin. "No time to explain," said Claus as he turned off the vanship and picked up Amis out of the back. "Who is that?" said Godwin. Saix appeared a few seconds later and Godwin just got even more confused. "What happened?" said Godwin. "My sis and I are couriers and we were attacked on our way here," said Saix as he and Lavie jumped out of the blue vanship. "But who would attack a courier?" said Godwin as they all went inside the house.
Claus went upstairs and gently lay Amis on a bed. "Looks like she's already unconscious," said Godwin. Claus and Lavie left the room, but Saix was still standing there. "Don't worry. She'll be fine. You should wait downstairs with the others and get your wound bandaged," said Godwin as he saw a little blood trickle down Saix's forehead. "I'll see you later sis," said Saix as he reluctantly went downstairs. "This is going to take a while," said Godwin as he sighed.
Claus and Lavie were already talking about what had just happened when Saix walked in. "Why would there be anyone attacking vanships now?" said Claus. Lavie then noticed that Saix had walked in and walked over to him. "We should get that wound of yours fixed," said Lavie. Saix just nodded as Lavie bandaged his forehead. He then sat down with the others sitting at the table. "You two look kinda young for couriers," said Claus. "How old are you two anyways?" asked Lavie as she sat down. "Well, my sister Amis is 12 and I'm only 10," said Saix. "How long have you two been doing this?" said Claus. "Urm, we've been doing this for 3 years already," said Saix. "So you mean to tell us that you guys were only 9 and 7 when you started flying a vanship?" said Lavie shocked. "Well, yeah," said Saix.
"We weren't that young when we started flying. How is that you two were able to fly at that age?" said Claus. "I guess we just learned from watching our parents all the time," said Saix. "Your parents actually allow you to fly a vanship?" asked Lavie. All of a sudden, Saix got sad and lowered his head. "The thing is...our parents died during the war..." said Saix. "Oh...sorry I asked," said Lavie. "That's okay..." said Saix. Alvis was staring at the necklace he had and wondered what it was. "What is that on your neck?" asked Alvis. "Oh this? Our parents gave one of them to me and my sis. They said that they stole it from the Guild," said Saix as he lifted up what looked to be a four pointed star in the middle of a circle.
"What! The Guild!" said Claus and Lavie. "During the war, our parents managed to steal some of the Guild's technology and weapons. But they were eventually captured and killed," said Saix. "So what's that supposed to be?" asked Claus. "I don't know. Our parents were going to tell us when they got back, but they never got the chance. All I know is that when my sis and I wear these, it allows our vanship to transform," said Saix. "What do you mean your vanship can transform?" asked Lavie. "Our parents used the Guild's technology and managed to make a vanship that can transform into a fighter vanship," said Saix. "Really?" said Claus. "We only transform it when we need to though. But it's broken right now, so it won't transform until my sis and I fix it. I can show it to you guys once it is fixed since I have to wait for my sis to recover first," said Saix. "You guys can stay as long as you need to. We have plenty of room here," said Lavie. "Thanks," said Saix as he yawned.
"I guess we should get some sleep now," said Claus as they all got up. "Urm..." said Saix as he stood there. "You can stay with your sister if you want. There's an extra bed in there," said Lavie. Saix just nodded and went upstairs to the room where Amis was brought to. Godwin was coming out of the room and closed the door when he saw Saix walking towards him. Saix was staring at the bloody cloth in his hand and looked worried. "It took a few hours, but I managed to get all the glass out. You can go in to check on her now," said Godwin as he walked past Saix and rubbed his head. Before he started to walk again, he felt a tug on his shirt. "Hmm?" said Saix as he turned around. He saw Alvis standing there holding the stuffed animal goat out to him. "I always feel better when I have it with me. You can borrow it for a while," said Alvis. "Thanks," said Saix as he smiled and held the goat. Alvis then went to her room as Saix opened the door, holding the goat in his hand.
As Saix walked in, he saw Amis laying on one of the beds, bandaged up. He then saw all the bloody glass pieces in a little tray on a desk near the door. "I think you need this more than I do," said Saix as he tucked the goat under her right arm and went over to the other bed. He got in and pulled the blanket over him as he started to fall asleep. "I guess we'll be going back home a little late," said Saix as he yawned and went to sleep.
