I'm back again! And I'm listening to music! (starts dancing but ends up being knocked out by Knoll...again) Knoll: Er...Enjoy the story!

Once again, it took several days before finally landing at Temia Sou. Alos decides that the best course of action would be to wait for

Narina before going any further. They don't want it to end up like last time. But their wait ends up with them running into a legendary

creature that was thought to have died out long ago...

It had already been one day waiting since they had landed on the island of man. None of them asked who they were or what they were

doing. They all just went about their business. It was apparent that not even a mention of war had found its way over here yet. The

horrors of the other islands seemed like a different world and time altogether...

"Brother, I'm worried about Narina..." Lilith said quietly. "Lilith...she said it would be a couple days. I would be lying if I said that nothing

could go wrong, but there's little chance of something like that happening. She could still be gathering information for all we know." Alos

replied. Lilith let out a long sigh. "I know...and yet..." Lilith was interupted by someone shouting out in the water. "That's Narina!" Alos

exclaimed. "What?" Lilith waded out into the shallows for a better view. Sure enough, there was Narina, riding a wave at high speeds.

Lilith let out a relieved laugh and ran up to greet her arrival.

"Narina you have no idea how worried I was about y-" Narina quickly cut her off. "I'm being pursued by pirates.nya." She said quietly.

"Pirates? What for?" Alos asked. "There was word around that village we were in...word that a band of pirates had found a strange girl

out in the water. Sure enough, when I went to investigate, I saw something that I never thought I'd see in my lifetime..." Narina seemed to

be having trouble coming out with it. "Come on, spit it out!" Alos urged. "I saw a...a...Vaikal." She whispered.

"A vaikal? Are you sure!" Alos asked in shock. Narina nodded in shock. "Brother, what's a vaikal?" Lilith asked. "Vaikals are a special

type of people. They are people that can transform into different types of shape-shifting wyverns dependant on their clans. There were 6

different vaikal clans: light, dark, earth, fire, water and wind. By shape-shifting, it means that they can turn into their respective element.

The vaikal are closer in relation to dragons than the scaled." He explained. "Even closer than the scaled! You set her free right?" Lilith

asked Narina anxiously. "Of course I did!Nya!" Narina said. "But the pirates caught me. So now they're out for my head!" She cried.

"Don't worry, we'll help you!" Alos said. "Where is the vaikal right now? What tribe was she from? Is she hurt?" He started to bombard

her with questions. "She's a wind vaikal! When I set her free she transformed and followed me to you guys. She seems to be fine

though.nya." Narina answered frantically. "Her name's Zaphair, and she's willing to fight with us.nya." Narina added. "Ah, that's good

news!" Lilith said happily. "Zaphair! You can show yourself to these people! Nya!" Narina called to the seemingly vacant space next to

her. The wind began toswirl around in a strange pattern and a young girl with yellow eyes and pale green hair was revealed before them.

On her forehead was a crescent moon with a wavy line going through it. "You are...the friends of which she spoke?" The vaikal

questioned. Alos and Lilith both nodded. "Then...I can...aid you in battle."

The wind began to swirl in strange patterns once again as Zaphair changed shape from a timid young girl to a powerful white and mint

colored wyvern. Lilith's mouth was open in awe. "We shall...fight my captors, yes?" Sheasked. Narina nodded.

"Yar! The beut's gone and changed shape!" A pirate shouted. "That won't stop us'n from gettin' that lass as a prize. There be plenty o'

men that'd pay handsome-like for 'er. Grab yer weapons mates! We be goin' into battle!" All of the pirates shouted in approval and

landed the boat in the nearby shallows. With great enthusiasm, the pirates jumped out of the boat and charged the small party.

"Mother Lily, Natti! There'r some people fighting outside!" A young boy with fiery red hair and a lance in his hand shouted, hurrying to

the room they were in. "Settle down Nathen! You're so much trouble all of the time!" Lily exclaimed. "Mother Lily, do we have

permission to go and help them?" Natti asked. Her tail was flicking back and forth erraticaly. "Yes,you may go and help them. Do be

careful though! I don't know what I'd do if the two of you died." Lily said softly. "Thank you so much mother!" Natti jumped to grab her

bow and arrows and sped out the door after Nathen.

"My goodness, those children have such energy..." Lily commented as she watched them leave.

The group of four was having some difficulty dodging all of the pirates axes and felling them at the same time. Between them the foursome

had managed to cut down about 7, but they were still more than twice the size of their group. "Haa...haa...they just keep coming like

demons from hell!" Narina exclaimed as she managed tofell another pirate. In all, there were still 10 more pirates and things were looking

desperate. They were all starting to tire and Lilith had been badly injured. Lilith managed to injure oneof the pirates and he was about to

strike back at her when an arrow struck him in the head and he fell over dead.

"Worry not! For we've come to rescue you!" Nathen called over to them as he skewered 2 pirates withhis lance. The pair of newcomers

killed a couple more pirates before their leader shouted the command to retreat. "She's not worth it mates! Head back!" He called to the

few remaining ones. Thepirates happily obliged and they sailed away at full speed.

"That was close...thanks for your help." Alos said wearily. "Don't mention it!" Natti said cheerfuly. "Your friend is hurt. Please allow us to

take her to mother Lily." Nathen said, motioning to Lilith. "That's where we were headed anyways!" Alos exclaimed. "How luck, nya!"

Narina commented. "Please...will you share your story with us?" Nathen asked. The three agreed and they carried Lilith to Mother Lily's

manor.

Well. That's another chapter down. Once again, just so you know. Natti, Alos and Lily are all Kusabi's characters! Everyone else is mine. Um, that's it for now. See ya! I mean...Ciao. (starts listening to music and dancing again out of boredom.)
