Vyser: Thanks for the reviews. So here's the first chapter. I don't own Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, so sit back and enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 1: The Caravan Begins

The sun was rising on the town of Tipa. As the light began to reach every corner, the town's population was awakening getting ready for their normal lives. The sunlight then shined through the window of a certain house and into the face of a 15 year old Clavat.

"Dang sun," Said the clavat as he rolled over and fell out of his bed, "Ow."

"Kane? Are you up yet?" Yelled a feminine voice from downstairs.

"Yeah mom, I'm up," Said Kane as he got up and began looking for some clean clothes.

Soon, Kane came down stairs wearing the traditional Clavat clothing, except the clothes had like an orange tint to it. His mom was fixing breakfast when Kane was coming down.

"Good morning Kane," Said Kane's Mom as Kane's younger brother and sister came down the stairs.

"When you going on the caravan Kane?" Asked Kane's brother (Vince).

"You just want to know so when I leave, you and Cecilia can sneak into my room," Said Kane as Vince and Cecilia were giving him the puppy eye look.

"Why would you say that?" Asked Cecilia as Kane sighed.

"Cause you two have always tried to get in my room, even when I'm in it," Said Kane, wondering when his two 6 year old siblings would grow up.

"Oh, Kane before your dad left for work, he left your stuff for the caravan near the door," Said Kane's mom as she set breakfast on the table.

After eating breakfast, Kane checked on what his dad left him. He found the sword and shield that his dad first used, some clothes, water, and much fish wrapped up. Kane packed up his stuff and headed out the door to the middle of Tipa, where his fellow caravaners should be waiting for him. As he reached the middle of Tipa where the crystal was, Kane noticed that there was a female clavat wearing a black coat with long brown hair, and there was a Yuke whose helmet had two horns on it and was wearing blue clothing.

"Hey there fellow caravaners," Said Kane as the other two members of the caravan turned towards him.

"You must be Kane, my name's Sirius," Said Sirius the Yuke as he extended his hand and Kane shook it.

"And I'm Violet good to meet you," Said Violet the female Clavat. "We already got the chalice and were just waiting for you to show up."

"This journey will be interesting, yet extremely dangerous," Said Sirius as the two clavats just looked a little nervous. "Sorry, I have a tendency of not knowing when to shut my yap."

"Let's go then," Said Kane as the three went to the entrance of Tipa where the wagon was waiting.

Soon the three were on the road, along the way they met another caravan made up of Lilties from Alfitaria. Sol Racht led them, and gave the new caravaners advice about caravans as well as introduces them to the moogle Stiltzkin. Soon the caravan left and came up to a fork in the road.

"Let's see," Said Sirius as he held up a map, "It says that to the left of here, there's a place called River Belle Path."

"And you're telling me this because?" Asked Kane.

"There's a myrrh tree there," Said Sirius, as he tugged the reigns of the caravan and turned left. "So we need the myrrh drop."

As soon as the caravan reached the place where the river path began, the trio of the caravan began to trek the rugged path. Violet was carrying the chalice; Kane and Sirius drew their weapons. Everything was calm for the first few minutes.

"Man, this is actually pretty easy," Said Violet as suddenly something is rustling in the bushes.

"I wouldn't speak so soon," Said Sirius as a red monster with spikes jumps out of the bushes. "It's a hedgehog pie!"

"I got it!" Yelled Kane as he charged at the hedgehog pie with his sword.

At the first stab, the weird monster dodged and began to move its arms up and down in a weird fashion.

"It's about to cast a spell!" Yelled Sirius as Kane dodged the fire attack from the monster.

"I'll get it this time!" Yelled Kane as he slashed on the hedgehog pie.

When the monster was slashed, it fell to the ground and a small red orb bounce once and rolled towards Sirius' feet. When Sirius lifted the orb and observed it a few minutes then nodded.

"Just as I thought, it's a magicide, a fire one at that," Said Sirius.

"Doesn't that allow the user to use magic?" Asked Violet.

"Yeah, I heard that there are many kinds," Said Kane.

"You guys mind hurrying up," Said Violet as Kane and Sirius noticed that they were near the edge of the chalice's barrier.

After the two guys caught up with Violet, the group kept on fighting many monsters that included hedgehog pies, mus and goblins. They sometimes were stuck at some gates, but when they defeated a nearby monster, the monster dropped a crescent shape key, which opened the gate. They even found some chests that contained some blueprints for equipment and accessories, along with artifacts and some bronze. Soon our group comes to a blue crystal, when suddenly the crystal on the chalice begins to glow.

"What's this?" Asked Violet as she set the chalice on near the blue crystal, suddenly the normally red crystal on the chalice is turned into blue. "Cool."

"The chalice's element changed," Said Sirius, "This allows us to pass through the certain miasma."

"Should we continue?" Asked Kane as the trio went through a small cave like structure.

When the group reaches the other end of the tunnel, they find a beautiful waterfall pouring into a small pond. On the other side where the caravaners came out of the cave, they could see the myrrh tree.

"This seems too easy," Said Sirius.

"And boring," Said Kane, "I thought a monster guards the myrrh trees."

"Don't jinx us," Said Violet as suddenly a huge shadow appears through the waterfall.

The shadow jumped out of the waterfall, revealing a huge mutant crab. Its shell was light red; it had one huge claw that had a mass of weapons that showed off that it had probably defeated many other caravans.

"Thanks, now we got this ugly crustacean to deal with!" Yelled Sirius as everyone readied themselves and the crab looked mad at Sirius' insult.

The crab began to charge at the smart mouthed Yuke, Sirius managed to jump out of the way at the last minute. When Sirius landed he was almost outside the barrier; the crab saw this and began to walk up slowly towards Sirius. Just as the crab was about to slam Sirius, Kane runs up behind the crab and starts slashing at its back. The crab simply turned around and slammed its huge claw onto Kane, who raised his shield at the last second. He was forced to lie on the ground; his sword was just an inch away from his hand. The crab was about to slam its claw on Kane again, until Violet dropped the chalice and slashed the crab's right eye, causing the crab to put its claw back over its eye. The crab then turned its sights on Violet and began to charge up an attack; suddenly a fireball hits the mutant crab's side, the crab found that Sirius was the source of the magic attack and used it's other claw to knock Sirius into Violet. Luckily the two were still inside the protective barrier, near the chalice, but weakened by the crab's attack. The crab began to walk slowly towards the two, when suddenly it yells in pain.

"What just happen?" Asked Violet as she and Sirius saw Kane crawl from underneath the crab, his sword covered with some gross looking organs.

"Kane stabbed the crab's underbelly," Said Sirius as he rubbed his helmet. "He must have been attacking the crab while he was down.

The crab was still standing, although it was weakened. Sirius stood next to the chalice while casting another fire spell, while Kane and Violet charged the crab and slashed at it. Soon the crab was down for the count and lied down dead.

"We did it!" Yelled Violet as she sniffed something in the air, "What's that smell?"

"Some of the crab guts landed on me," Said Kane as Sirius lifted the chalice.

"Let's just get the myrrh drop first," Said Sirius as Kane and Violet followed him to the myrrh tree to get the myrrh drop.

After the trio received the myrrh drop, the mail moogle appeared and gave the group their letters. Sirius got a letter from his dad, Violet got a letter from her mother, while Kane received a letter from his brother and sister. Apparently, they managed to get inside his room, Kane got a little upset and replied that everything would still be in one piece, or else pain would ensue. As soon as everyone sent their reply, they made their way back to the caravan and then set up camp for the night.
