Chapter 7: Another day in a new place

We were almost there! Dunan Castle looked so lovely, though we were on a boat..I felt a bit sick. I thought I was used to this? Oh well, were almost there..ahh. I looked down at the water, so blue..I smiled down at my reflection. I had to admit, I looked like a mature teenager now ever since my jouirney started.

I wonder how Koh is doing with the other children. I hope the inn is doing okay, I miss eating nothing but fish.

I sighed and looked to the direction of Banner village, I'll send a letter to tell them I'm okay then.

"Hey, were here!" Nanami yelled out as she got off the boat to step into the dock.

I looked at every direction, "So big.." I whisperd to Millie

She smile "See? Cool huh?"

I nodded wow a real castle, just like in my dreams!

"Lord Riou we must report to Shu that Greenhill has fallen to Highland." Flik told Riou in a very serious voice

So we all followed Riou and Flik, I asked myself if I could find my way in this castle. Many people were everywhere, stone walls and floors. Children ran wild everywhere, everything felt so alive! I couldn't stop but look in awe, so much.

(And..I must re-play Suikoden 2 sooo I could get all the events in ORDER!)

We reached the great hall, we entered. Look's like very important people were waiting for us, well Riou and Teresa that is. Mister Fitcher wasn't there, hmm.I wonder what happened to him. Well, a young woman with round glasses greeted us, and a older looking man greeted Riou as well. Then there was a man that was very built that scared me a bit, but he looked friendly...I hope (Viktor..the BEAR!)

"Lord Riou, I see you are back from Greenhill," he said to him, "you also brought Lady Teresa."

Lady Teresa bowed "I'm glad to help out the Alliance army."

Then we all heard something someone opened the door!

"I hope I'm not late." a fimilar voice said

Shin walked into the room, with Nina and Mister Fitcher! I smiled, Lady Teresa smiled she's happy to see Shin was all right (Awww...).

"Shin? How did you get here?" she asked him

Fitcher smiled "Well, this wonderful young lady helped us out!" he turned to Nina

Nina bowed "Heehee..It was nothing!" she turned to Flik, "just to be with my Flik!"

Then she clung to Flik's arm, I giggled. Nina finally notcied me.

"Hey Nori!"

"Hey Nina."

"Look's like someone has a girlfriend.." the bear like man said to Flik (VIKTOR!)

Flik glared at him "Quite Viktor.."

Shu sighed and turned to Riou "We'll contiue this tomorrow..you must be very tired."

Now that he mnetioned it, I didn't have a room! Oh great..

The young woman smile "And we shall prepare a rooms..for our new friends."

I smile, much better.

At midnight (..lalaa...)

I turned me body around my bed, I was having a bad dream...sweat ran down my face. I moaned, what's happening?

"Mommy! Mommy!" a little girl ran up to her mother

She looked about five years old, she had light brown hair and a cute smile. Her mother smiled at her daughter.

"Hey sweetie..missed me?" she asked as she sat on her bed

"Yeah! Yeah! How was your trip?"

"It was pretty akward..seeing old friends." she setted her daughter on her lap

The girl looked at her mother, "Mommy..tell me that story again." she asked her

"What story?"

"Y'know! The one where that girl and that boy travelled together?"

"I thought you knew that one by heart..besides stories are for bed."

"We are in bed!"

Her mother chuckled, "You're right."

"Once upon a time, there was a girl that lived in a faraway land-"

"and she was a gifted girl!"

"Yes..she was. She could control snow."

"She lived a small village where it always snowed."


"See hun, you know the story by..heart. Now let me tell you the story or I leave to make dinner."

Instanly the girl closed her mouth. The older woman smiled.

"One day, the girl grew older. She looked up at the sky, birds flew everywhere. She decided to go on a journey, she didn't want to be cooped up she wanted to explore the world."

she paused, "Then one day she dissapeared. The whole village looked for her, worried. Her family found a letter that she was on a journey, she doesn't know when she'll come back."

"After many months of travelling alone she met a boy, a few years older but they became friends. They started to travel together. Then one day.." she trailed off, "the girl had to go back home for some odd reason. The boy understood and let her leave, but that night the two made a promise that they'll meet eachother one day."

The little girl looked up, her mother stopped a bit.

"The girl took a ribbon from her hair and tied it around the boy's wrist. 'Keep this..when you know I'll be comming back tie it around your other wrist.' she sadly said to her friend. Then she left, then after she couldn't be seen the boy looked at the precious ribbon. He smiled and continued his fate-led journey."

"What ever happened to the boy and the girl?"

"Well..I don't know."

"Next time..tell me about when they met their other friends!"

"Okay..now what do you want for dinner, Culyne?" she asked her daughter

I opened my eyes, too much. Birds sang, the sun shined down my window. Morning came too soon. I grabbed a towel, Millie told me that there was good hot baths in this castle. I can't remember when I got a good hot bath..wait.like never! I smiled and headed out the door.

The castle was big, I need to get used to this. I walked straight to the center of the castle, the main hallway? I looked around, down the stairs was some stone tablet..and..Luc. I wonder if it's okay to say good morning to him? Oh well, it is a beautiful morning? I walked up to him, he looked at me..weird look.

I smiled "Good mornin' Luc, how's you're day going?"

Luc didn't even flinched twitched..not even showing a tad bit of emotion!

"Horribly wrong when you came in.."

Okay there, "Why do you say such things?" I asked, YES! I'm getting used to it!

"Because..just because."

"Hey Luc, do you know where the baths are!" I asked him

He looked at me, "I'm not telling you. And plus, I thought Millie told you."

"Well you thought wrong!"

"You're so immature."

"But how? I'm almost as tall as you! I am sooo mature!"

"Keeping you're temper?"

I growled and left him to be.

"Bye..spy.." he cooed at me in a devilish way

In the Baths (...No dirty thoughts! I'm warning you people!)

I sighed, the baths are so busy in the morning. I sat there minding my own business, the woman's side of the baths were so noisy! Gossip everywhere! I sank into the hot water, I was near the thin wall that divided the men's side tot he woman's. I closed my eyes, boredem.

"Hey Noria!"

I opened my eyes, Millie was there smiling like there was no tomorrow. She was in the bath, now I wonder how she got in without making a sound..we will never know.

"Hey..Millie."

"Why so glum?"

"I do not know..morning sickness?"

"I know what will help!"

"What?"

"I don't know.."

We both sighed.

"Hey Millie?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you know anybody that has a little daughter about Pilika's age and her name is Culyne?"

"Nope. Why?"

"I don't know..had a weird dream with a little girl name Culyne in it.."

"Hey wanna get out of here and do something?"

(That sounded wrong...)

"Kay.."

We got out and wrapped towels around ourselves, and reached for our clothes and headed for the changing room.

Later that day...

Millie and I were walking around some street. I yawned. I saw Millie smiling when she saw something, I looked straight ahead.

"Kinnison! Over here!" she yelled out to someone as she waved her arms in the air

Then a older looking boy and a white wolf came up to us. The boy was holding Bonaparte in his arms, he smiled and the wolf wagged his fluffy white tail.

"Hey Millie, how is you're day so far?" the boy name Kinnison asked her

She smiled "Great! Oh, and thanks for babysitting Bonaparte for me!"

"No problem, you were just gone for a bit. He didn't cause any trouble this time."

I was confused, then Millie turned to me. "Oh, and this is my new friend Noria! Nori, meet Kinnison..and his pet wolf Shiro!"

I smiled at Kinnison "Hello Kinnison!" I kneeled down at the wolf and petted his neck "You too Shiro."

"Awhoo..!" Shiro..er..awhooed to me

I smiled "Hmm..cute wolf you got there Kinnison.."

"Thanks..I think he starting to like you."

Shiro wagged his tail, it's been a long time since I've been close to a dog. I patted Shiro's head.

Bonaparte jumped into Millie's arms and squeaked in a very cute way. (writer's block!) Kinnison looked up at the sky.

"I gotta go now..er..see you around Millie! You too Noria!" he waved and left us and Shiro behind him.

"Awhhoo..?"

I turned to Millie, she was smiling like a goof.

"..Hm..now what?" she asked me

"Let's walk a bit more." I told her

She smiled and nodded.

Millie showed me the tarven and Inn, the libary, the storage house and the lookout tower (or whatever it is..). Then I saw a little pond.

"That's the duck pond, little kids like going there to watch the ducks." Millie said

"Peaceful.." I muttered and smiled

Millie looked around "Wanna rest for a bit.." she pointed at a tree near the pond, "we can go over there!"

As we sat down..I sighed.

Millie striked up a conversation.

"So..um..what do you think about this castle?" she asked

I thought, "Pretty good..I guess."

"...umm.."

I looked at her, "Millie..do you miss your family?"

She looked at me puzzled, "Well..I really never knew my family.." she said sadly

"I see..I'm sorry."

"Do you miss your family?"

"Yeah...including my brother."

"Your brother nice?"

I smiled, "Yeah...but he could act like Luc sometimes."

Millie giggled "Another Luc..funny."

"Luc is meaner." I stated

"He's not used to you..that's all."

"How can he possibly get used to me, when I can't get used to him?" I asked her

"I don't know."

My stomach grumbled, "Someone's hungry!" Millie said in a sing-song voice.

Her stomach grumbled.

"And I thought I had a loud stomach."

"Squuuuuue?"

That night..

I sighed, "Looong day."

I layed on my bed, I saw the letter to I wrote to Koh.

"Now how am I gonna send this?" I asked myself

I turned to my side and stared at the wall, closed me eyes. "There's gotta be a way.." I whispered. The wind blew gently, my window was open. I sat up and went to my window, I looked up at the night sky.

"Boy, the stars are better back home." I thought out loud.

"...Hm. You like?" a cold voice asked me

I looked around, then I saw Luc above me. His room must be above mine.

"Why do you care!" I snapped at him

No emotion falled on his face, "Immature bady.."

"I heard that!"

"Who cares spy..:"

"Argh! Hate you!"

"Grammer stinks too."

"Goodnight..LUC!" I shouted at him as I closed my window, hard.

He smiled, "Night...Noria.." he said coldly and closed his window.

Keausuke: That took long..(sighs)

Noria: Writer's block?

Keasuke: (nods) Okay okay..next chapter..someone help me!

Noria: Review..wait..and..Happy Holidays from Keasuke and me!
