Sir Fey was last to disappear on the horizon. He was standing, cloak blowing in the wind, like one of the heroes of legend.

I thought Douglas would have been last to disappear...

But Sir Fey was last to vanish through the reddish sky.

I really did believe that they would all disappear at the same time...

Sir Fey waved. He was last to vanish.

Good bye for now. Maybe we'll meet again.

Sir Fey was the last to vanish, floating away like a leaf upon a river.

I guess that we will meet again someday.

Gukko knew that Sir Fey was last to vanish.

"Good bye!" Gukko screamed his throat hoarse. "Good bye for now!"

Maybe Sir Fey said good bye too. Or maybe it was just a whisper upon the winds.

Raven, the Paladin like his father, waved too. So did the Red Mage, Gukko's sister.

"Thank you!" they all yelled.

This time, Gukko was sure that someone yelled "See you someday again!" back.

They had already, with Sir Fey and the clan's help, recruited enough to form a small clan.

Cooper, the chicken-obsessed Thief, waved a soy drumstick in the air in front of Rosetta, a viera White Mage, who just happened to be chewing on a piece of Ifrit-scorched wing. Upon seeing Gukko, he laughed and yelled,

"I like chickens! They're the dominent specie!"

"I wonder what Sir Fey saw in him," Hejaat commented blandly.

Bialiese, the viera Archer, looked up from where she and Thane, another Thief, were shairng a drink.

"Hello CL!" she exclaimed. "What's up?"

The viera twins, Celia the Archer and Reddy the Fencer, looked up as well. They both winked at the same time and resumed drinking.

"Kupo!" Wesley, the Black Mage, looked up too. "Why are you crying?"

Gukko lifted his hand from his face to see the soft dewy droplets on his fingertips.

"Huh? Oh, I'm not crying. Actually, when we were coming here, there was this huge chocobo-" he knew he was babbling.

"We know you're sad."

"Well, okay. So, did anyone see any missions?"

Bialiese nodded. "Well, I founda funny mission. It involves chick-"

"Chicks?" Wesley looked up. "Viera or human?"

Baliese scowled and knocked him with a well aimed Blackout. Over the mage's screams of "My eyes! My frickin' eyes!" she explained...

"No, not chicks, chickens. Well, apparently, someone wants someone to take back a few hens that their neighbor's dog has..."

All eyes went to Cooper.

"I like chickens!" he repeated.

"Yes, we know that.Well, Cooper, wanna go?"

Cooper laughed wildly. "I like chickens! I like missions! Chickens and Missions is double like I!" he screamed, backing into a nearby moogle.

"Hey!" the moogle exclaimed. "Watch where you're going, kupo!"

Cooper glomphed the moogles. "I really do like chickens! Are you a funny chicken?"

Everyone laughed.

"No! I'm Montblanc! Montblanc! Not chicken, kupo!" the Black Mage exclaimed.

"Mountain Chicken? Mountain chicken even better!" Cooper screamed, hugging Montblanc tighter.

"Umm... Okay..."

"Well, good luck, Cooper!" everyone called.

"I like chickens!" Cooper screamed.

"Oh boy, I don't believe that we're relying on him," Hejaat moaned.

"Well... So, I'm dispatching myself, Gukko announced.

Everyone stared. "Well.. I guess."

Gukko nodded. "Actually, I'm taking... Raven, you're coming too. There's been reports of a monster back in the open fields. I'm going to go see."
