Vyser: All right, here's the next chapter. In this chapter my character will make his appearance. I don't own Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, just my character that will make an appearance.

Chapter 3: The Marr's Pass Thief

We find our caravan leaving the entrance of the mushroom forest, with the group is their new companion. The selkie girl was sitting in the back of the caravan, Violet was in the caravan reading a book she brought with her, and Kane and Sirius were in the front of the caravan with Sirius steering.

"Well, now where are we supposed to go?" Asked Kane, as he was relaxing.

"We'll first stop at Marr's Pass to get supplies," Said Sirius. "Kane, go ask the selkie girl if there is any where she needs to go, or if she wants to stay with our caravan."

"Sure," Said Kane as he walked through the caravan to the back.

"Yeah?" Asked the selkie girl as Kane sat next to her.

"Hey, do you need to go any place?" Asked Kane as the selkie girl sighed.

"After those cowards left me, I don't want to see them again," Said the Selkie girl.

"You're welcome to join our caravan, if you want," Suggested Kane.

"Well, where are you from?" Asked the selkie girl.

"Tipa, is where Sirius, Violet and I are from," Said Kane as the selkie girl looked surprised.

"Tipa," Said the selkie girl as she clenched her hands. "I'll think about it."

"All right, hey can we get your name at least?" Asked Kane as he stood up.

"You can call me Ali," Said Ali.

"Well Ali, I'm Kane," Said Kane as Ali looked surprised again.

"Could this be the same Kane?" Thought Ali.

Soon, the caravan reached Marr's Pass. They saw that the place was filled with shops. As the four were looking around, they didn't notice that there was a guy with spiky black hair, wearing gray shorts, a white shirt, and a black jacket.

"Cool, travelers," Whispered the black haired guy as he quickly ran towards the group.

As the guy quickly ran into the group they all fall down. The guy quickly grabs something from the ground and runs off.

"Well that was weird," Said Violet as everyone got up and dusted off their clothes.

"Hey, our gil is gone!" Yelled Sirius, as everyone looked shocked.

"That must have been the Marr's Pass Thief," Said Ali. "I've heard about him."

"So I take it that we're supposed to find this guy and get our gil back," Said Kane as everyone nodded in agreement. "Okay, did anyone see where he went?"

Everyone looked embarrassed.

"The best thing to do is to split up to try to find the guy," Said Ali as everyone went separate ways.

As soon as the group was separated, we find the thief poking his head out of a nearby bush.

"They won't find me, the great Drake," Said Drake the thief as he walked near the entrance of Marr's Pass looking at the caravan that was parked there. "Well, it looks like I'll need to leave this place, and luck is on my side today."

Drake quickly looked around to see that no one was watching him. After checking to see that no one was there, Drake jumps into the caravan and hides himself under some blankets to make him look like he was a part of the caravan.

After an hour passed, our caravaners return to the entrance unsuccessful on their search.

"Well now what are we supposed to do?" Asked Ali as everyone returned to the caravan.

"We might as well leave, the thief is long gone by now," Said Sirius as everyone climbed into the caravan.

"Hey, what's our next destination?" Asked Violet as she sat down on a bench that was covered with a blanket and a low grunt was heard.

"Did you guys here that?" Asked Kane, as everyone shook his or her head no.

"Any way our next stop is at a place called the Mines of Cathuriges," Said Sirius as he looked through a map. "It looks like it'll take a couple of days to get their so we'll have to make camp along the way."

"Well we should get going," Said Kane as Ali sat down on the blanket covered bench and another soft groan was heard. "Okay I know I heard something that time."

"Are you going crazy or something?" Asked Violet.

"Can we go now?" Asked Ali as Sirius began to move the caravan.

The travel on the road was uneventful, but soon the sun was beginning to set. Sirius parked the caravan, and the group was beginning to set up camp. Meanwhile, in the caravan itself we see that the covered bench is moving.

"Ow, my back!" Thought Drake as he threw off the blanket covering him. "I must be getting close to the next town."

Drake quickly popped his head out of the front of the caravan to see where he was. He saw that he was in a field with the sun setting. Just as he was about to sigh, he heard footsteps coming from the back of the caravan. Drake quickly jumped out of the caravan and slide under the caravan. His head was out enough for him to see who it was, but enough for him not to be seen. He could see that it was that selkie girl that he robbed along with those other three people, he was watching her raise one of the fur wristbands revealing a blue bracelet. Drake being a thief could tell that the bracelet had a good retail and sentimental value.

"He's from Tipa, he has the same name, could he be the same one?" Asked Ali towards her as she hid the bracelet once more and was beginning to sit on the ground.

Drake quickly hid his head under the caravan as Ali sat down.

"That was close! Now, at this point I could try to steal the bracelet, but then I would be trapped here," Thought Drake. "Maybe they have something that I can use."

After the darkness of the night came, Drake carefully crawls from underneath caravan. As he looks towards a fire that was made he can see the ones called Kane and Sirius sleeping near it. Drake thinks that the girls of the group must be in the caravan. Drake as quiet as a mouse climbs into the caravan. As he is entering he sees a small blue crystal attached to a string.

"Hey, it's a portable crystal, with this then I can travel without worry," Thought Drake as he grabbed the crystal and put it around his neck.

After getting the crystal, Drake continues to enter the caravan. He sees the girls, Violet and Ali, sleeping and looks his target is Ali's bracelet. Drake was surprised that Ali was still wearing her bracelets while sleeping. Drake carefully removes the first wristband and then sees the blue bracelet. Just as he's sliding the blue bracelet off of Ali's hand, Ali's eyes opened and saw Drake. Drake also noticed that Ali was staring at him.

"Um, hello," Said Drake as he let go of the bracelet.

Ali yelled so loud that everyone in the camp then throws Drake out of the caravan. As Drake lands on the ground, he sees that Kane and Sirius are looking down on him.

"You're that thief!" Yelled Sirius.

"Give us our gil!" Yelled Kane as he and Sirius began to shake Drake up.

After getting their gil back, Kane and Sirius tie up Drake. Violet and Ali exit the caravan fully dressed, and the four look at Drake.

"So what should we do with him?" Asked Violet.

"We could leave him," Said Sirius.

"Maybe we should turn back to Marr's pass and turn him in, there might be a reward," Said Kane.

"He's got my portable crystal," Said Ali as she took the crystal back.

"Listen, there's no reason to do anything bad to me," Said Drake.

"And why should we listen to a thief?" Asked Sirius.

"Well, I'm good fighter, I can get information easily, and basically I can help," Explained Drake.

"Still not buying it," Said Ali.

"Ah come on," Said Drake as he was struggling to get free. "My skills could help you out greatly!"

"Well, how can we trust you?" Asked Kane.

"I pledge on my blood as a Selkie to be loyal," Answered Drake as he stood up.

"I thought you were a Clavat?" Asked Sirius, as Drake looked mad.

"Look! Okay I get that a lot, but just because I'm more muscular then most selkies around my age, doesn't mean I'm not one!" Yelled Drake.

"No need to erupt," Said Kane as everyone else was thinking.

"Maybe it would be good to have someone like him," Said Violet.

"Maybe, only if he promises to not steal anything from us," Said Ali.

"So what you say?" Asked Sirius towards Drake who was holding the ropes in his hands.

"How'd you get free?" Asked Kane as Drake smiled.

"I could have escaped at anytime," Answered Drake as he threw the rope on the ground. "And yes I promise to not steal anything from you guys."

"You only get one shot at this," Said Ali.

"All right, all right," Said Drake as he sat near the fire. "So can we get some sleep or what?"

Everyone shrugged and returned to where they were sleeping, all except Kane who was watching Drake.

"Relax you can trust me," Said Drake.

"I do trust you," Replied Kane, "I'm not the kind of person to hate."

"Well, its nice to meet some people who don't hate selkies," Said Drake as he lied down. "Catch you in the morning."

After Drake fell to sleep, Kane lied on the ground staring at the stars. Locked in a deep thought, Kane thinks on the future.

"When this caravan began, we had three members," Thought Kane as his eyelids began to grow heavy. "I wonder what will happen when we return home." Kane then fell asleep dreaming of many things.
