Chapter 2

"Is anybody here!" Ike was walking for 20 minutes in the dark forest. He was starting to get tired and his feet were starting to ache. "I guess it was nothing, whoa!" He fell inside a huge hole that was 9 feet deep. "Ow, my…. Why is a hole here! I don't remember seeing it the last time I was here!"

"Hahaha, I told you digging a hole was a good idea!" The voice sounded like a little girl's voice.

"Big deal, Sasami." Another girl was there too.

"Don't be jealous, Rin!"

"Last time digging a hole didn't work!"

"Yep you are being J-E-A-L-O-U-S."

"If I was able to transform into my Laguz form I'll turn you into Cat Stew!"

"If I was able to transform I'll give you some claw marks!" They kept on arguing.

I wonder what the heck is going on. Huh? Ike saw a little hawk girl looking at him.

"Sasami-Chan, Rin-Chan, our dinner is a teenage Beroc male who has a sword with him. Should we still eat him?" The hawk girl said. The two others looked at Ike.

"Dinner? Eat?" Mumbled Ike frighten

"What do we do now?" Sasami asked.

"He'll kill us easily" Whispered Rin

"I could knock him out with my shovel and then we could eat him!" Sasami said

"Sasami, I can tell he is a skilled swordsman. So a shovel won't work." Rin replied

"Fine Miss Dragon, you come up with something."

"Mr. Beroc, how about we make a deal?" Rin told Ike.

"Alright what is your request?"

"If you give us food, water, shelter, protect us, and let us stay with you, we'll get you out of that hole, deal?"

"Alright, deal!"

"Wahoo! Hina please go get him." Rin commanded

"Okay, Rin-Chan!" Hina, the hawk girl flew towards Ike, she grabbed his arms. "Hold on tight! Don't blame me if your armpits hurt, if you want to blame something, blame gravity!"

How can she fly me to the top? She is so small, her age looks like 7 or 8. Ike held on to her tightly. Hina flapped her wings rapidly, after 1 minute she started to pick Ike up. Finally they reached the top.

"So what is your name, buddy?" Sasami asked.

"I'm Ike, I'm the commander of the Greil Mercenaries and you girls are?" Ike asked

"I'm Sasami, part of the Beast Tribe, and I'm eight years old!" Sasami had black short hair, her eyes were blue, her ears and tail were black, she had a blue and silver sleeveless shirt on, her pants were short and blue and her boots were like Ranulf's boots except they were mini. Sasami had a collar around her neck that was kind of big for her.

"I'm Rin, part of the Dragon Tribe, and my age is nine." Rin's hair was greenish black and was long and braided, her eyes were a rosy red color and she had glasses on as well. She wore a dress that was green and gold.

"I'm Hina, the hawk, and I'm seven years old." Hina's hair was a tanish color like Janaff's hair, and was in pigtails (not braided) her shirt was brown and was a little big for her, she had a big skirt and her boots were black. Her face made her look very adorable!

"There they are! Get those little brats!" A man appeared along with 5 more men holding axes. "Step aside punk, and give us those Laguz girls!"

"Fat chance, you will not lay a hand on them!" Ike pulled out his sword, Ragnell, and jumped over one of the men and killed him. Then the rest tackled Ike with their axes charged at him.

"You guys better back off!" It was Shinon; he shot 3 arrows and killed one man.

"Shinon, good timing, thanks for helping." Ike was relieved. The man behind Ike was about to chop him, but he was killed too.

"Don't forget about me Ike." Boyd was the one who killed the bandit.

"Why you little punks!" The man growled at them. "Get the girls!" The three men marched towards Sasami, Rin, and Hina.

"El Wind!" Soren killed one man, two were left.

"Take this you creep!" Mia killed the other one.

"One more to go, hiya!" Titania got rid of the last one.

"Thank-you all…" Ike said.

"You are welcome!" Replied Mia

Titania looked at the three Laguz. "Who are these little girls?" She asked.

"I'm Sasami."

"I'm Rin"

"I'm Hina."

"They are going to stay with us, since they are not ready to transform yet." Ike explained

"Oh great…" Shinon mumbled

"You are mean…" Sasami mumbled

"He is too grumpy sometimes." Boyd told Sasami

"…" Shinon said nothing he was filled with anger all of a sudden.

Hina's stomach growled. "Oh… I'm hungry… And sleepy…"

"Heh, then let's go to the fort. Come on." Ike and the others went back to the fort. Sasami, Rin, and Hina will have a lot of fun with the Greil Mercenaries, even with others.
