Chapter 2: Disappearance with a Fum
After Leaving Stiltzkin and the rest of the Alfitaria caravan at the riverbank, the caravanners continued down the road towards the River Belle Path, continuing down the road they saw a group of all Clavat caravanners in their path, the apparent leader of them came up to us and said with a grin:
"Hello, we're the Caravan from Fum, who might you be?"
"We're the caravan from Tipa Village," Niva replied smiling "I'm Niva, and these are Hyo, Patrick and Ruge-Lu,"she finished, pointing at the other caravanners with a grin.
Looking at the other caravanners Hyo thought, grinning to himself:
"Those are the weirdest hats I've seen in my entire lifetime." While he everyone was talking Ruge Lu was looking through the other caravanners items, looking through he found what he was looking for.
"Mmmm…food," he muttered, pulling three striped apples out of the large bag sneakily.
Seeing this in the corner of his eye Hyo said in a monotonous voice:
"Put them back Lu."
Coming back from talking to the Fum caravan leader Niva looked at everyone and said:
"Their leader just warned me that there's trouble at the River Belle Path, he didn't specify what though. And by the way, put those apples back before they get mad. If you want I'll find the Alfitaria caravan again and you can steal from them."
Looking at the retreating Fum caravan in the distance Hyo replied:
"I wouldn't trust that guy as far as I could throw him; he's probably just trying to scare us off so he can hoard all the treasure for himself."
"Hyo's probably right," said Ruge Lu, missing his apples, "I say we go, there might be things I could research."
"Of course I'm right," replied Hyo happily "they must have been to the River Belle to say that and they haven't got a scratch on them."
"Ok then, let's go!" Patrick said, jumping in the air from excitedness.
"Yeah" agreed Niva.

Arriving at the gates to the River Belle Path, everyone felt unable to move as they heard a disembodied voice talk about monsters that they couldn't yet see, summing it up in one word Niva said:
"Creepy."
Looking around they spotted an old bridge, while looking at it, a Goblin ran up out of seemingly nowhere.
"Everyone, to your positions!" Niva shouted, drawing her sword because of her lack of magicite ad slashing the Goblin and backing away as it attempted a counterattack. Following up Ruge Lu hit the goblin twice with his racket, leaving it open for Hyo to finish it with a deep slash into the Goblin's back, effectively ending the monster's life.
"Good job guys!" said Ruge Lu, grinning as he got his breath back.
"You expected less?"Hyo replied "If this is the danger those Fum guys were talking about, I think we can take it easy."
"Hey, it dropped something," said Ruge Lu, picking up the dropped Phoenix Down.
"Cool, treasure… I say we go further in and see what we can find," Hyo replied, his eyes glinting with greed.
Little did they know, a hedgehog was about to cast fire behind them, just before it cast the spell, Niva saw it in the corner of her eye.
"Look out!" she shouted, causing everyone to jump out of the way in time.
Niva ran up to it and slashed it a few times with her sword, hitting the floor the corpse dropped a cure magicite. Looking at it Niva said:
"If nobody minds, I'll use whatever magicite these things drop."
"Fine with me," replied Hyo with a grin.
"I don't mind either," added Ruge Lu happily.
"I think we should get moving now guys, getting distracted here isn't a good idea," said Hyo remembering what happened when they got distracted previously.
"Okay," replied Niva, placing the small blue magicite in her pocket.
They continued down the path until they came to a large blockade at a bridge, guarded by a goblin.
"We can take him!" shouted Niva, as she said this, two more goblins ran up from out of nowhere.
"Ok…this could be a problem..." she finished.
"I can take two of them, one of you, take the other one," said Ruge Lu, running two of the goblins with his racket extended.
"I'll handle it!" shouted Hyo, unsheathing his sword and running towards the remaining goblin.
Niva saw a chest nearby and ran towards it. Opening it quickly; she pulled out a small blue and white Blizzard magicite.
"Ok, now I'm ready," she said, casting Blizzard on the first goblin she saw.
"DIE!" Hyo shouted, shattering the goblin with his sword, sending frozen corpse everywhere.
Ruge Lu had already taken down one goblin, but had taken a good beating from the other, using his remaining adrenaline; he smashed his racket into the remaining goblins face, rendering it unconscious.
"Everyone okay?" he asked tiredly, using his racket to keep his balance.
"I'm fine, don't worry 'bout me," replied Hyo.
"Where's Patrick gone?" Ruge Lu asked, looking around.
"That's a good question, where has he gone?" replied Hyo, puzzled.
"Hang on…. Cure!" Niva said, curing Ruge Lu's injuries, looking around she shouted:
"Patrick? Patrick, where are you?" Glancing at the others, she said "Lets look for him."
"Do you think we left him at the beach?" questioned Ruge Lu.
"It's possible, though considering how knightly the Alfitaria caravan seemed, he's probably half way back to Tipa by now," analysed Hyo.
"Yeah, let's go look for him in Tipa," agreed Niva "Besides, that way we can see if there's anyone who wants to join us."
