The forest that surrounded the town was filled with lush, green plants. It's foliage was very overgrown, and no one with a stable mind dared enter into it. A young plant was growing in the middle of the forest, and it's leaves were slowly dying, their once dark green color slowly turning a darkening brown.

Cesia felt her weary eyes widen when she saw that plant. It's roots were inches below the surface of the ground, and it looked like it had been re-planted. Her senses told her that the wind in this area was very strong and that soon such a little plant would be overcome with the wind's reckless behaviors.

"Kitchel, give me your strength. Hand me the wind staff, please." Cesia said, her eyes never leaving the quiet plant that seemed to hold much strengths of it's own.

"Uhh.. Sure, right away Cesia. Hee hee, at least I know your not a sleep!" Kitchel said cheerfully as she took her shaking hands away from the fortuneteller, and slowly grasped the blue staff that was lying in a corner.

Kitchel smiled, she was finally able to stretch her legs, she thought. But soon her smile darkened when she saw that the sky had also darkened, and that 5 sunsets had passed since anyone had seen the illusive Illuser Rath. The young woman then sighed and quickly returnt to her duty when she heard an irate woman start to tap the floor.

5 hours walk from Draqueen:

Kai-Stern was angry when he noticed the bruises on his shoulders and arms looking very black. His skin was marred with marks from one after another of Dusis' resident yokai who had ran into the Dragon Officer only 7 minutes after he'd left the safety of the castle.

Kai-Stern wasn't only angry about the fact that he'd had virtually no luck in finding Rath, but also the fact that everywhere he went Crewger tugged him the other way.

"It's like he doesn't want me to even look." He said tiredly as yet again, the yokai dog bit into Kai-Stern's tattered pants and pulled the unresponsive dragon toward the castle.

"Look! I've already been that way, let's try another place. Come on already, I want to find Rath, not stand around and be lost! Yes I know you can smell him, so stop whining."

He said as he pushed the dog away and started to walk alone to Chantel.

15 minutes later he stopped and looked back at the yokai dog which was looking back at him with barren eyes.

Kai-Stern's features softened as he lazily ran his hand through his white hair.

"OK, don't give up hope so easily. I'll go back and wonder aimlessly around the castle-"

His words were interrupted by Crewger's happy barks. I guess that's what he wanted me to do all along, huh? He thought as he walked toward the yokai animal and scratched him behind his ears.

"Let's go back, I'll convince his majesty to try and search later on."

Krylancelo note: Konnichiwa minna-san! (Hello, everyone!)

This is something to give different characters more importance, cause that plant is important!

Ja ne (Later)

And does anyone think I'd be good at writing a GWing Fic.

Also, thanks for reading!!!!!!!!!!
