To be continued...
Kirri?
Phy: great..Kirri you hit him again?
Kirri: No...he's naturally this way.
Phy:...
... Anyway! to the fic!

Kirri gazed down at Crescent Isle from his perch on the cliff above it amused. (Well now I know I'm expected...Though it's kinda amusing watching Fina look over her shoulder like she has for the past day or so.) Shifting his position he watched Shear talk to Aika as he waited for Clara's ship to arrive and Belle to deliver her message.

He couldn't hear them of course, but he could certainly watch.

(I hope the young one's ship gets here soon, this is getting boring...) Glancing up he saw Clara's ship approaching the island. (Took em' long enough...) He grumbled mentally as he dug his claws into the stone and slowly climbed down avoiding any place he could be seen.

Lilly rolled her eyes at Belle "Yeah right...A dragon...suuuure. Did he breath fire to prove it?" She snickered. "Stop teasing her Lilly, you know as well as I do Belle doesn't lie! Though.. DO you have any proof?" Nara asked softly.

"Well he did give me this...He said it would protect me if I ever needed it, but I don't know what it does." Belle answered holding the bracelet into the light. Lily stared at it wondering how she'd missed seeing it, it was solid silver with intricate designs going across it and curled around most of her forearm and looking at it it almost looked like a creature of some kind... "He gave you that? Jeez where'd he get it?" asked Lily.

"I don't know...He took my wrist and then it was there, like it came out of his hand..." Belle said slowly "He was asking about Fina, but I don't know why. With the way he was acting I think she might be in trouble now...especially after what that guy in Nasrad said." "And you told him anyway!" Lilly gaped at her "Well would you have wanted to tell him no and make him mad? I don't know what he would have done to me if I didn't tell him...He was nice to me but I didn't want to see him angry..." Belle said worriedly.

"Well We're docking now Belle you can tell her or Vyse what he did." Said Nara listening to the sounds outside.

"Good come on!" Belle chirped running up to the deck. Lilly and Nara glanced at each other and ran after her.

"So when do you think Kirri's gonna show up? Any idea?" Aika asked Shear "If I know him he's already here somewhere." She answered cheerfully.

"Clue me in? You sound almost happy about that, why? And how do you know?"asked Aika disturbed. "Simple I was one of the ones that caught him in the first place, but it was my own screw up that made the rest of us join him..." She shook her head "I just wish I'd seen it coming..."

Phy walked up giving Shear a dark look "Shit Shear none of us saw that one coming, and I should know. My entire flight was hunted down and anyone that fought back were killed after their wings were cut off , the red moon creatures that ran joined Sabre's pack just before our civilizations gave us the choice: Get frozen and locked up or be killed. You know what happened then as well as I do."

"What happened?" Asked Fina walking up.

"Most of us construct creatures were slaughtered like dogs when we tried to resist the civilizations that made us, after the black moon fell and it's continent vanished under it the civilizations made a temporary truce and used it to lock the last of us up. Without Kirri to keep them busy they were able to get the last of us easily." Shear explained "We'd trusted our makers and paid for it with our lives and our freedom, and I know most of us will never trust humans again for it...Not that I can blame them." she finished as Phydrin nodded confirming what she said.

"Yikes...No wonder Kirri wants to kill Fina..." Aika remarked grimly as Belle suddenly ran up out of breath "Belle? What's up?" "It's...dragon guy...He..."

"Catch your breath first little one then tell us what's so important." Said Shear gently touching Belles shoulder. Belle looked at her in shock and her jaw fell open as she still tried to talk.

"Here we go..." Phy said dryly as Belle looked at him weirdly. "Why...why is she looking at me like that?" Phy asked nervously and backing away from Belle. "Well Belle kinda likes birds...a lot." Aika told him smirking as Belle looked at him.

"Uh right...I think I'll be ya know...going now!" Yelped Phy as Belle's smile widened.

"BIRDY!" Belle yelled as she pounced on Phydrin and pinned him to the ground . "WHAAA! Help!" He yelped as Belle perched on his back happily.

"Umm no..." Shear smiled smugly. "WHY! What'd I ever do to you?" Yelled Phy as Belle hugged his neck. "Nothing. I simply like seeing you squirm." Shear said grinning evilly. "NOOOO! Awwww man..."

"Belle you want to tell what you saw now?" Asked Fina both a little weirded out and amused. "Yeah...Early this morning I saw someone that wanted to know about Fina , and I told him. He looked kind of like her, but with glowing eyes and bright silver. Like he was made of it." said Belle pointing at Shear. "When we docked in nasrad for supplies I heard several people talking about seeing him and they mentioned that he'd wanted to know where Fina was so he could kill her!"

Phydrin laughed without humor "Sounds like Kirri alright."

"He gave me this before he left. I dunno why though." She said holding up the arm that had the bracelet on it.

"I'll be damned... Do you know what that is?" Phy asked amazed staring at the bracelet. At seeing Belle shake her head he continued "It's to protect you, I'm sure he told ya that, It turn's into a creature that will help you if your ever I danger and can tell ya where he is. Since you've worn it already he can't take it back since it's a bit like Fina's partner Cupil even though it's made from his own substance." Wow...Why would he do that?" she asked. "Probably 'cause you asked him to."

"That's right. She did. And I gave it to her. So how are things hmm?" inquired a voice cheerfully. Everyone looked at the roof of the tavern were the metamorph was reclining completely at ease.

"Hello again. You wouldn't mind horribly if I just took what I came for would you?" He asked smirking. (This should to be interesting...)

"You really think me and Phy are here are going to hand her over to you just so you can settle your damn vendetta? You really must have tin in your skull Kirri." Shear growled as electricity started sparking around her hands.

(Damn kill joy...Might as well drop it all at once if she won't play.) "Well..." Kirri jumped from the roof and landed in front of them as Belle let Phy up and got out of reach. "If you really want to know, yes I did come to settle something. But probably not what you think."

He turned to Fina. "Time to speak for yourself now Silvite." Growled Kirri narrowing his eyes.

"Would you really go through everyone here to get to me if you had to?" Fina asked. "Yes." Fina flinched at that, she couldn't let it happen, she knew Vyse and the rest of the people here where very strong but she knew just how powerful Kirri was from the legends. "Alright will you leave if...If..I...let you kill me?" She asked nervously.

"Yes." He answered flatly.

"Alright."

Kirri narrowed his eyes again at that.(Damn, she really must be even more of a girl scout then I'd heard to do that...) he thought amused as she walked up to him.

Fina glanced at Shear seeing her worried look and back at Kirri. (He looks like one of Cupil's kind would in my nightmares...)She thought looking at Kirri's expressionless eyes. When she got into arms distance he grabbed her shoulder hard digging his claws in and leaned next to her ear pulling her close to whisper to her.

"You know a few days ago I would have torn your hide off without a second thought." He snarled softly into ear making her go white. "But...I decided to dig around first to see what kind of monsters the remaining silvites were and guess what I found? That there was only one known silvite left and she was really just a sweet...little...girl..."

He let that sink in for a moment as Fina turned to look at him bewildered as everyone still glared at him not hearing what he was saying to Fina.

"The oath I made before I was sealed was broken by you since you are the last of your kind, and it goes against what I am to kill you because of that. Don't get me wrong. I'd still love to tear you apart for your people's wrongs. But you stopped the gigas and the Elders are dead. My revenge was made before I was ever released." As he finished he straightened up and spoke normally.

"Now I would give you the help I'd give to any of my kind. Since now I know what's happened." He said dryly earning startled looks from everyone.

"I didn't come to kill you. I came to ask forgiveness for trying to when I was released." Kirri said finally releasing Fina's shoulder and kneeling.

"That's...not what I expected..." Said Fina rattled. "But there was no way for you to know what had happened over the years. All anyone knew about you were a few legends that made you out to be a monster."

Kirri snorted "I AM a monster. Just not the sort people made me out to be. I thank you though it's probably more then I deserve...Especially after the first impression I gave you..." He said as Fina smiled.

"Well now that the 'crisis' is averted can I have a little help here? She's got me again!" yelled Phy frustrated. Kirri walked over and peered at Phy and Belle tilting his head curiously, then patted Belle on the head and grinned evily at Phy as he walked off. "Oh that's cold man...that's really cold." Why? You finally found a girl who likes you..." Snickered Kirri as he watched them. "Well yeah...But ya know I like breathing too ya know..."He whined.

"Aw suck it up 'birdy'." Teased Shear as she stood behind Kirri. "And as for you you dumbass!" She yelled grabbing him and throwing him into the fountain. "GAHHH! WATER! Blaaah!" He yelled as he landed in the fountain and splashed everyone in reach.

Flopping around in the water he glared at her sourly "Well...Things are looking normal already..." He said annoyed as leaned on the edge of the fountain to get out as Shear grinned back at him.

And that's the end of it! It's done! Mwaaaa!

Kirri: Water...Gah! ya didn't have to do that to me you know...

Yes I did.

Phy: What about me! I've got a human girl trying to attach herself to my neck! (points to Belle who's nuzzling him)

That? That was kinda fun...

Zanfa: (snickers) Maybe next time well just torment you Phy.

Phy: You wouldn't dare

Zanfa: (Smiles sweetly)

Phy: Yeah you would...

Anyway ignore the peanut gallery over here...(Everyone: HEY!) and tell me what you think of my story! Please! I think I'm done with it now, so like I said Review! Wanna know what you think!
