Vyser: Well now, I'm back with the next chapter! If I did own FFOC, then I'd make another game where depending on which character you choose there would be a definite story line for each character. I do own Drake though, enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 5: Returning to Tipa

// ----------- --------------- ////// ----------- ------------- //

We find our caravan just about to pass River Belle Path; Drake was on the roof of the caravan. Sirius was steering the caravan, Kane was sitting in the back, Violet sat next to Sirius up front, and Ali was sitting inside the caravan.

"So, this Tipa, was it?" Asked Drake before he yawned. "I've never been here before, so uh what's it like?"

"Well, it has a great view of the sea, the people are nice," Violet answered.

"But, a number of older Clavats despise Selkies," Sirius added as everyone glared at him. "I'm just saying, that maybe Ali and Drake should make themselves look like Clavats."

"You all mistook me for a Clavat the fist time we met," Replied Drake. "Sides, as long as we don't tell them what we are, then me and Ali are safe."

"Drake that doesn't sound like a good idea" Kane stated as he was looking through his backpack and pulled out a few clothes. "I've got more clothes, all you've got to do is put them on over your clothes."

"Now there's a good idea," Ali complimented as Kane handed her the clothes.

"Fine, they just better be good clothes," Gruffly said Drake as he took the clothes Kane held up.

///// --------------------- ------------------ ///// -------------- ------------- /////

Soon the caravan had reached Tipa. The town's people were cheering that the caravaners had returned with the chalice full of myrrh. Sirius brought the caravan into the town square, where the town elder, Roland, was awaiting for the chalice.

"Hail the caravaners," Roland stated as Kane, Violet, and Sirius jumped from the caravan. Kane held the chalice.

"Roland we're successful," Said Kane as a snoring noise was heard from on top of the caravan.

"What's that noise?" Roland asked as Sirius whacked the caravan and caused someone to fall off the top of the caravan.

"I'm up!" Announced Drake as he got up and dusted himself off. He was wearing a black jacket with white sleeves, black shorts and his hair was still the same.

"Whose this?" Roland asked as Drake yawned.

"His name's Drake," Answered Sirius. "During our travels, we found him, along with another Clavat, they had no where to go so we decided to take them with us."

"What kindness," Roland complimented as Ali came out dressed like Violet only her clothes were dark blue instead of black.

"And this is Ali," Introduced Violet as Ali bowed.

"These two can live in the extra house we have in town," Roland said as he coughed and remembered what he was doing before the introductions. "Anyway, tonight we start the ritual and celebrate."

///// ----------- ---------------- ///////// --------------- ------------------ ///

Kane had returned home and found that his room was totally trashed, thanks to Vince and Cecelia. His dad was still working, and mom was helping with the festivities for tonight. Kane did not really care where his two siblings were at the moment, Kane realized that they would be as far away from him as possible. Kane was just tossing cards into a nearby hat waiting for the night. A knock on the door caught Kane's attention. When Kane opened the door, Drake was there scratching his head.

"Drake, what's up?" Asked Kane as Drake grinned.

"Hey, Kane show me around town, I saw many pretty girls," Drake said with a plastered grin.

"You're the last person who would be like that," Kane stated.

"Hey, I just want to steal their hearts," Replied Drake. "And you don't really know me that well."

"Okay, I'll show you around," Kane said as he left the house after closing the door.

// ------------------- -------------- ///// -------------- --------------- ///

Kane showed Drake all of the stores, houses and the town square where the celebration was being held. Drake saw a lot of pretty girls so, he ditched Kane and went to introduce himself. Kane just sighed, and decided that he'd check out the cliff view he would watch as a child. When he reached the cliff he sat down and watched as the sun began to set, it was a beautiful sight. Kane heard footsteps behind him, turned and saw Ali standing near him.

"Kane, didn't expect you to be here," Ali said as she sat next to Kane.

"Well, this was a great place where I would go to before night when I was younger," Replied Kane as he looked at Ali. Through his eyes, Ali's features were greater. The light from the sun set gleamed on Ali's face, and her hair was shining. "Ali, there's a question I've been wanting you ask you since we met."

"Yes?" Asked Ali as she looked directly towards Kane.

"Did you once live here, Alicia?" Kane as Ali looked shocked.

"Yes, and you must be the Kane I met eight years ago," Said Alicia as she held up the blue bracelet that Kane gave her all those years ago. "I've kept this since then, and I've been thinking about to since. When I first heard your name, I thought you forgot about me."

"How could I forget such a friend like you?" Kane asked with a smile. "We should get to the festivities."

"Yeah, but you have to keep calling me Ali though," Requested Ali as Kane and Ali got up and headed towards the town square.

// ----------------- ----------------- ///// ----------------- ---------- /

After the ritual transferring the myrrh to the crystal, we find our caravaners doing many various things. Violet was introducing Ali to her friends in the town, Drake was getting his hands on as much food as he get. Sirius was reading a book on alchemy while listening to the music. And Kane was playing some games that were there. Kane after using some of his gil he notices Ali walking over to him.

"Hey Ali," Greeted Kane as he noticed that Ali's face was a little red.

"Kane, you want to uh," Ali tried to say as the music was getting louder.

"The music's nice, you want to dance?" Asked Kane, as Ali looked shocked.

"But, I only know how to dance like," Ali started when Kane knew what she was going to say.

"No problem, you just follow my lead, I may not be the best dancer, but I know the basics," Interrupted Kane as he and Ali went to dance.

Violet was bringing her friends to Drake who was drinking some fruit punch.

"And girls this is Drake," Introduced Violet as Drake noticed the girls.

"Why, hello," Drake greeted as the girls greeted back.

Sirius was shaking his head when he saw Drake with a majority of the females of the town.

"I don't know if I should be envious, or disgusted," Muttered Sirius as he returned to his book of alchemy.
