Chapter 11: Explanation

"So you have been in a giant fort for the last 4 weeks!" Deria screeched. "And now Tyson has wings and Max is a beast man!"

Poor Max was about ready to pull out his ears. Tyson had flinched and accidentally broke the glass of juice he was holding.

"Basically" Tyson replied weakly.

Deria sighed. "You made me really scared"

"We're sorry" max said feeling slightly guilty.

"So what has happened while we were gone?" Tyson asked. "Is my sister after my blood?"

Deria went on to tell them about what had happened with Tanya.

"Wow" Max said. "So now she's gone? Like gone for good?"

"Yep" Deria said smiling. "You don't have to worry about her anymore"

Tyson just sat there. He couldn't believe it. He was free. Tanya was getting what she deserved after so long. Now he wouldn't have to dread living here anymore. Max and Deria smiled. Although the normally social Tyson said nothing, they understood.

"So what are you Tyson?" Deria decided to change the subject. "If Max is a Beastman, then what are you? Demon? Angel?"

"Uh…" Tyson said. "I don't know. I was told that I was a Nevrast. But I have no idea what that means. But what I don't get is why Tanya and the rest of our families never received these powers"

"It is strange" Deria said looking confused. "We should go to the library to try finding a language that would fit"

They ran out the door and into the quiet street heading for the noisy downtown to the public library.


Gane ran as fast as he could towards the city. Being a beastman did have its uses.

'Please be there' he silently prayed.

He arrived in the city just as the others had reached their lords' castle.


"You're telling me" said the elderly man sitting in a fine, gold and velvet chair. "That you have finally found them?"

"Yes father" Kai said bowing slightly.

"And you as well Rei?" the king said looking over at the beastman prince.

"Yes sir" he replied.

"Good" the king said smiling. "It's about time. Your father is on his way, Rei. But shouldn't they be here with you?"

"We were going to fix everything up" Rei explained. "That way-"

He never finished because the guards had entered the giant hall quite out of breath.

"What's going on?" the king demanded.

"Sire" one of the men said bowing to the king before turning to the princes. "They're not there. The boys. They're not at the fort or the surrounding area"

There was silence in the hall. The king turned to look from the soldier to his son. He wasn't supposed to show it, but he was nervous. Kai was the kind of person who didn't like things disappearing on him. Kai and Rei were both glaring at the poor soldier as if debating his faith.

"Did you check the entire area?" Kai asked at last. "Did you check the town?"

"Master Gane has gone to the town. The rest of the men are still at the fort just incase" the soldier replied.

Kai and Rei nodded at each other and began to walk out of the hall.

"Kai" his father said in a warning tone.

"Don't worry" Kai said. "We'll finish this later"

And with that they walked out the castle.


"Any luck?"

"No. What about you?"

"Nothing"

"Hmm…" Deria said thinking. "Did Max find anything?"

"I don't know" Tyson said adding his 15th book to his stack of misleads. "I haven't see him since we've got here"

"Let's go look for him then" Deria said. "Then let's go get some lunch"

"Yay!" Tyson said jumping up. "Food! It's been forever since I've had a sundae and hamburger! Maxie! Where are you man?"

Deria grumbled as she followed a very excited Tyson around to the other side of the library. They found Max in a corner reading something labeled "Mysteries of Our World".

"Max?" Deria said prodding him. "Did ya find anything?"

"Huh?" Max said looking up from his book. "Sorry, I got so into this book, I couldn't put it down"

"It's ok man" Tyson said stretching. "Now, let's go get some food! I'm starving!"

Max got up and they ran out of the library. (But first Max borrowed the book he was reading) They were greeted by the blinding light of the sun.

"Argh!" Tyson said shielding his eyes. "This is why I hate libraries! Too bloody dark!"

"Watch out Tyson" Deria teased. "You're starting to sound like a British kid"

Tyson glared at her as she and Max burst out laughing.

"And I'm supposed to think that you guys are my friends?" he said giving them a hurt look.

"Aw c'mon Ty-chan" Deria said hugging him.

"Yeah! You know we love you!" Max said joining in.

"Really?" Tyson said. "Good! Then you can buy me lunch!"

Max and Deria sweat dropped.

"Did you bring your credit card?" Max whispered to Deria as they began to head to the local café.

"Thank god I did" Deria said sighing. "We really need to teach him some manners"

"Amen to that" Max said as they started walking to the nearest café.

"Another ice cream sundae please!"

"Tyson, that's gonna be your third one!" Deria exclaimed.

"So?" Tyson asked sticking his tongue out. "Maxie's had 5 lemon sodas and 3 slices of pizza"

"Yes but you also had a hamburger, a salad, 5 slices of pizza, and 2 bowls of soup!"

"Leave him alone, Deria" Max said sipping his 6th lemon soda. "We haven't had a meal like this is 4 weeks, give us a break"

"Fine" Deria sighed. "I'm sorry. Its just…when you guys came back I thought it would be just like it used to be"

Tyson and Max smiled at her reassuringly. They knew that Deria was worried sick about them. So they couldn't really blame her on her behavior.

"Ok the hell with it" Deria said grinning. "You guys are back! We should be celebrating! Hey waiter! Get me 10 orders from the top of the menu on down!"


Gane walked around the busy streets of Bay City. He stared in wonder at the many objects that he had never seen in his life.

"What crazy place is this?" Gane muttered to himself as he walked across the street.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of something screeching and a horn blaring in his ears. He dove for the sideway just before a huge truck squashed him flat.

"Hey! Crazy guy! Watch where you're walking!" shouted an angry driver.

Gane glared at the man and calm got up.

'What weird people' he thought as he walked away still looking for the missing Tyson and Max. 'Gods, I hope I find them soon. I don't like this place'

He walked and walked. Finally he happened upon a small park with a small pond. He smiled at one thing he could recognize in this place.

'What a peaceful place' he though sitting on the bench. 'I hope the masters don't mind me sitting down for a minute'

But as he sat there resting, he felt a presence. No, two presences. He looked over to his right to find two figures stand there in the shadows of the trees.

"Who are you?" demanded the captain of the guards. "What do you want?"

"You are the captain of the guards for the two princes are you not?" asked the shorter one.

"I am. I am Gane of Varce" Gane said puffing him self up slightly with pride. "And you are?"

"No one you need to worry about" the taller one said. "But will you give this message to your masters?"

"What is it?" Gane said disliking the conversation more and more.

"Tell Kai and Rei that Max and Tyson aren't theirs to control" the shorter one said smirking. "We're going to set them free just as they are supposed too"

Gane widened his eyes as recognized the two strangers.

"Prince Tala and Prince Micheal!" Gane growled. "You touch either of the masters' mates and you will pay with your life!"

Tala and Micheal just laughed before walking away. Gane shouted for them to stop. When they didn't he tried to run after them. But he couldn't! He was stuck. He looked down at his feet and found that they were frozen by ice. Gane growled angrily.


"Tyson!" Max shouted as Tyson ran in front of Deria and him, "Why don't we go to the park?"

"Sure!" Tyson said running back to them.

"Last one there, buys everyone ice cream!" Deria said as she took off.

"Hey!" they boys shouted running after her.

Max burst into a clearing of the park with Deria just behind him with Tyson bringing up the rear.

"No fair!" Tyson panted. "You guys cheated!"

"Think it of you paying us back for the lunch you had" Deria said smirking.

"Fine" Tyson grumbled pulling out some money he had gotten from the bank. "What do you guys want?"

"Chocolate chip!" Deria said at once.

"Chocolate orange!" Max laughed.

Tyson sighed as he walked over to the ice cream vendor.

"Hi" Tyson greeted the ice cream man. "I'd like 1 double scoop of chocolate chip, 1 double scoop of chocolate orange, and 1 triple scoop of mint chocolate chip"

"Right away!" the man said smiling.

While he was waiting for his ice cream Tyson went to get some napkins from the other side of the stand. But when he went to grab some, he accidentally knocked over a stranger's ice cream soda.

"Oh no!" Tyson said handing the napkins to the man. "I'm so sorry! Let me get you a new one!"

"Oh, that ok " said the man. "I was almost done with it anyways"

"Are you sure?" Tyson said looking over to the man. "I don't mind-"

He stopped in mid sentence when he saw who it was.

"Tala?" Tyson gasped. "IS that really you?"

"Hello my beautiful Nevrast" Tala said smiling.

Tyson just stared into the sapphire eyes. They were…beautiful. But before he could say another thing, the ice cream man handed him his ice cream.

"Thank you" Tyson said paying the man.

"Do you need help carrying those?" Tala asked.

"Uh…sure" Tyson said. "You can hold mine"

Tala took the ice cream and followed Tyson tot where Max and Deria were sitting.

"Finally!" Max said smiling. "I thought you got lost"

"Ha ha ha" Tyson said sarcastically. "Here"

He handed both Deria and Max their ice creams when Tala came up behind Tyson.

"Hey, who are you?" Max asked.

"I'm Tala" the red head smirked. "I'm a friend of Tyson's"

"Really?" Deria said raising an eyebrow. "I've never heard of you before"

"I only met him recently" Tyson said quickly. "So I didn't have time to tell you"

"I see" Deria said accepting the answer and continued eating her ice cream.

Max nodded in agreement. Tala smirked. Things were going as planned.

"I'm going to get some more napkins" Max said standing up and handing Deria his ice cream. "Be right back"

Max hurried over to the ice cream stand. But just as he neared it, he bumped into a man, making him drop his ice cream.

"Oh My god!" Max said standing up. "I'm so sorry! I'll get you a new one!"

"No its ok" said the man.

"No its not" Max argued before turning to the ice cream vendor and ordered another ice cream.

"I said it was ok" said the man standing up. "You didn't have to do that"

"Yes I did" max said furiously. "I made you drop your food"

"I'm just glad that you didn't hurt your self" said the man smiling.

Max look up at the man to argue some more, but he lost his voice when he looked into the man's eyes. They were beautiful. He felt him self gasp as he stepped back.

"What's wrong?" the man asked gently. "Is there something on my face?"

"n-no" Max said finding his voice at last.

"Good" the man said smiling. "My name is Micheal. What's yours?"
