Hello again! Thanks for the reviews, including Fnanit-banana, with the whole 'Birdy-man' bit. And if you thought that the bird looking man at the end of the last chapter was good. You'll love the upcoming characters, that'll have animalistic traits that were not used in Klonoa before!

P.S. Sorry it took so long, but you know how it is, always busy with school, my little sisters, and even my new Kingdom Hearts 2 game! But back to business. Here's the long awaited chapter. 1. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Klonoa or any of his merchandise. I only own the new characters like Wally, and the new coming characters.

The Legend of the Dream Traveler

Chapter. 1. 'Birds of Paradise'

Having said that, the bird man went to the other side of the room seemingly looking around for something. When he saw this, Wally got up from his lying position on the bed and took the time to look around. The room was a small hotel suite, Wally then saw the bird man working with amini fridge that most hotel suites had, and put something in the microwave on the shelf above it. He pushed a few buttons and just stood there like he was waiting for it. Wally continued to look around, on the walls there were several different posters not at all like the ones in his room, they had pictures of tough, animal looking fighters, such as 'The Feathered Wonder', 'Barkster the Sharp Maw' (Who looked like a wolf.), and others. Most of the posters had been crossed out, except for two, one was a picture of a gigantic muscle-bound monster with strong looking horns on his head, hooves replacing his feet, a bovine snout, deep brown hair, and an almost evil look on his face. The second one was almost completely covered by the other poster, so it was impossible to see what it was.

Suddenly Wally felt an increase of weight on his lap, he looked there to see a plate filled with exotic looking foods, and right in front of him was the bird man who watched intently this time he wore a navy blue coat that was looked almost like he was in the military, it was quiet for a second until, "Well go ahead eat it!" Wally looked at the foods on the plate they were completely unknown to him but the smell was pretty good, he once again heard the bird say, "Go ahead! I'm not stopping you!" After hearing the birds squawk,he looked at the food again, he realized he was hungry, very hungry. So he took the fork and started to dig in, the food tasted surprisingly better then it smelled, the young man enjoyed the food for as long as it lasted. After finishing the food he put the plate to the side grabbed a nearby napkin and wiped his face a bit, the bird nodded approvingly "Well did you enjoy the food?" Wally looked at the bird and smiled "Yeah it was very good, my compliments to the chef." The bird, even though it was hard to see under the black feathers, blushed a little. "Oh thank you young man it was nothing…" the bird started to bow slightly, "Of course there are few things that this old chef knows how to cook just right."

The bird rose back up, as Wally put his hand out gesturing for a shake, "Well I thank you for cooking that delicious food, the names Wally by the way." The bird took the hand and shook it slightly, Wally was slightly surprised, he might not have looked like it but this bird was older then he looked, which showed when he felt the old birds hand, the feathers were slightly ruffled, and the skin underneath was wrinkled. "It is nice tomeet you Wally, my name is…" Suddenly the door that lead out of the room slammed open! Wally looked there to see a new figure, it was bird just like his humble guest, but he appeared much younger then him, he had white feathers on his head and neck, a sharp orange beak, his chest and lower body feathers were black in color, but it was covered by a kind of strangely made tuxedo. Wally saw his kind of bird before, back home. His butler Jeeves kept one in his room, he couldn't remember what Jeeves called it, but 'the first part of his species name was bald' quickly came to Wally'smind. "Krowbar!" the new bird said sounding madder then anyone Wally had ever met, Wally's humble host (He was Krowbar.) flinched greatly, as he turned to look at his new 'visitor'. "E-E-Eagler?" suddenly there was a loud snap, Wally looked up to see a small shelf he hadn't noticed before starting to rock uncontrollably, until finally it gave way completely, allowing its contents to fall. Krowbar flapped his wing like arms in desperation, "NO! MY TROPHIES!" he dived down and just barely managed to catch them before they hit the ground.

Krowbar sighed in relief as he put the trophies on the night stand, he was just about to relax when a loud, obnoxious voice once again shouted "KROWBAR! I need to talk to you!" He tensed up again and slowly turned around only to be treated to a look of pure hate from his grumpy visitor. He gave a slight nervous chuckle before talking "Hello Eagler... ha, ha, ha... To what do I owe this 'pleasant' visi..." Krowbar never had time to finish the sentence "CAN IT!" the bird known as Eagler interrupted sharply, Krowbar flinched, even Wally slightly jumped at the sudden and loud interuption. Eagler didn't stop there, he shouted again, but this time since he was minding his volume, it sounded like he was speaking normally, which he might have been anyway while shouting. "Listen up, you freeloader! Your rent is three months over due! And if you want to stay in this suite..." Eagler was interuppted slightly by Krowbar...

Bad idea...

"Three months over due? Oh come now Eagler I can't be three months over due I sent you a payment just yesterday..." Krowbar said which was quickly followed by Eagler exploding into a temper tantrum, "YEAH, A VERY LOUSY PAYMENT! Thats when I heard you used the rest to bet on that stupid new fighter in the ring! What is wrong with you Krowbar you should know by now... PAYMENT FIRST, BETS LATER!" Krowbar flinched a little but responded "Oh come now Eagler, Your bills are always so unreasonable! I have no choice but to bet on fighters to pay off those bills and besides that..." It was at that moment that Krowbar noticed that Eagler was no longer interested in him.

Instead, he was staring angrily at Wally who continued to sit on the bed. Wally just stared at him right back, only more confused then angry. "Krowbar..." Eagler started, Krowbar couldn't help but flinch as he went to answer him, "(Whimpering.) Umm... Yes?" Eagler didn't bother to turn and look at him, as he continued heartlessly "What is this 'Royal Rat' doing here?" Wally didn't know whether to be taken aback about the rat comment or to be completely confused about the royal part. Either way he gave Eagler a dirty look.

"Eagler, just because he looks like a Mongoose and his fur is as light orange as the palace guards, it does not mean he is one of them." Wally stared at Krowbar like he was crazy, he brought his arm up to point out howridiculousthe two birds were sounding,but before he could even start, curiosity got the better of him and he took a look at his arm... Only to find out the birds were right...

His arm 'WAS' covered in fur! and not only his arm, he took a better look at himself, instead of his pajamas which he figured he was wearing the entire time, he now wore a blue sleeveless shirt, black shorts, and black shoes, he looked down his shirt and saw that the fur covered him everywhere! Not only that, but the fur was a light orange, just like Krowbar said. Wally stared in a frightened matter at Eagler who's death stare was getting more unfriendly by the second.

As he pondered the question of how he got fur, he looked at Krowbar, his face looked like he was begging for a positive response to his theory, which he immediately obliged. "'Palace Guards'? who are these 'Palace Guards'? I don't know about any 'Palace Guards.'" Eagler, even though he looked like he wasn't convinced, seemed to play along with, what he thought was a very sorry excuse of playing dumb. "Okay then... If you are not a Palace Guard, which I'm sure your not..." Wally gave an inward gasp, was he on to them? Eagler seemed to give Wally a small once over, after a good 3 minutes Eagler seemed to give up on finding anything suspicious. After a small scowl he backed away, "Well I don't see anything from the castle on you, not even the warriors pendant." As he backed away and turned to Krowbar, Wally gave an inaudible sigh of relief... "Of course Krowbar, even if he isn't with the palace guards, I'm afraid you still have to pay extra for your little visitor." Wally's look of relief turned into a look of anger. Krowbar's mouth gaped "What? But Eagler...Don't you think your being a little unreasonable?" Eagler ignored the comment "And whats more Krowbar... You have 24 hours to pay it... Fail to do so... And I'll personally have you thrown out of the hotel and..." Eagler motioned to the trophies that Krowbar put on his nightstand for safe measure, Krowbar turned pale after seeing the evil little grin on Eagler's face. "And quite possibly keep these little treasures, have them melted down, and, hey, who knows? Maybe they'll become better looking trophies then they are now." Krowbars scared-to-death look turned into a look of hatred. "You wouldn't..." Eagler's evil smile grew wider, "I would..." Krowbar and Eagler had a small stare-down, which only lasted until Krowbar backed down a sad look in his eyes.

Wally couldn't believe his ears, 'Man, what a jerk!' he thought as Krowbar backed away from the door, allowing Eagler out. As he opened the door, Eagler gave Wally one last death stare. WhenEagler walked out, he closed the door behind him, as soon as Krowbar figured he was gone, he said in a whisper, "Grrrrr... I really hate that blasted big mouth." Wally just stared at the spot where he left completely confused, "Who in the world was that jerk?" Krowbar looked at Wally hate was apparent in his eyes "That jerk... Was my land lord, his name is Eagler." Wally scoffed "Hmmm! Some land lord! That guy gave you increased payment you never deserved at all!"

Krowbar nodded his head sadly "Well thats Eagler for you..." Wally looked at Krowbar in frustration "Why didn't you say something to him, like tell him to take a hike?" Krowbar gave a sad smile, "You have a lot of guts kid, I'll give you that... But the last time I tried that, Eagler almost had me thrown out of the hotel." Wally didn't really act surprised, "So what? There's probably millions of places you can call home, if you get used to them." A small tear formed in Krowbar's eye, "You just don't understand boy..." Wally looked confused "...Krowbar?" Krowbar looked around the room, "This little room has been my home for 20 years, do you think you'd want to leave your home, if you've lived here for so long?" Wally lowered his head, "No I guess not." Wally then just lifted his head up after that, "But really besides this little room, what's so special about this place?" Krowbar simply smiled, he walked up to the door and took the door knob in his hand, "Well... Come with me and I'll show you."

Wally approached Krowbar, Krowbar opened the door, a celestial light poured into the room, Wally stared wide eyed at the source of the light... "Behold! The 'Birds of Paradise' Hotel!"

In a kind of restaurant area of the hotel, a big creature exhaled a huge yawn, as it put the cup in it's hand on the bar. A green bird, with red feathers on the tip of its wings, (Like a parrot.) came up to the creature's cup and took it. "'Rawwwwk!' Do you want a refill?" The big creature simply answered. "Yeah, water, four pieces of ice, medium in size..." The parrot looked up to the big animal, he was a huge thing alright! He had deep brown fur, some of the fur on top of his head pointed upwards, he wore a black sleeveless shirt with a crescent mark on the chest area, it had no pants, a stubby tail, its fingers and toeswere replacedclaws that were obviously very well taken care of, and a big droopy look in his intense black eyes. "Got it?" The bird repeated the animals last words as most parrots do, then said. "Of course, Master Kuma..."
