It's me again! Bwahahahahah! Okay I really, REALLY got nothing to say now except this...
EPHIDEL AND SOREN PWN YOU! I feel so much better now...
Lily hurried over to Natti and Nathen when she saw the injured girl between them. "My goodness, what happened?" She asked in shock.
"Guess she must've taken a blow from one of the pirate's axes. It doesn't look to be too serious though." Nathen said. "These other
people were fighting with the bandits too." He gestured to the small group behind them. "Dear godess you all look so tired! Come in and
sit down!" Lily exclaimed. The group shuffled in and sat down on the soft carpet. "Thankyou for having us so...abruptly." Alos said
formally. "No need to be so uptight. I'll tend to your companion. You...will share your story with me right?" The brown-haired cleric
asked carefully. "Of course we would mother Lily!Nya!" Narina spoke up. So, while Lily cared for Lilith's wounds, the remaining three
explained the situation to her.
Alos was the first to speak up. "This all started...about a week ago. All of the tribes seemed fine and content until the tailed invaded our
land. The island of backs. We don't know why they attacked. It just...happened. Since I was a warrior winged, I naturally took up my
blade and fought back. At this time I fought Narina. She didn't fight back because she said that she didn't want to. She was opposed to
this war and hated what was happening. So I left her and continued on my way. Later Lilith, the girl that you're tending to, must have ran
into Narina as she and Narina were headed my way. Lilith explained that Mother had sent her and that we were to flee the island and
head to the island of man. Narina was going to, but she would meet up with us later since I couldn't carry her AND Lilith."
"Our first stop was at the island of talons. It took us a few days to get there and when we did arrive the villagewas decimated. In ruins,
perhaps because of a hurricane or tsunami, and it looked like the inhabitants had just recently returned to clean everything up. It was there
that we learned of the clawed's plans to go into war and aid the tailed. My only hope was that manmight be able to help us. But, during
the night, we were attacked by a group of rogue bandits. It was only through a stroke of luck that Narina came to aid us."
"From there, we headed here. Narina was going to come later after she did some information hunting. So we took a few days to fly here
and waited on the shores. It was then that Narina came to us claiming that she had found and freed a vaikal, the dragon people of legends
and that a group of pirates were after her for doing that. The vaikal showed herself to us and we ended up doing battle with the pirates.
Then you're two friends there helped us drive them out and here we are."
Alos stopped speaking so that Lily, Nathen and Natti could soak up all of this information. "If all of this is true...then it's only a matter of
time before the tailed come after us!" Nathen exclaimed. "Settle down, Nathen. We must hear the stories of these other two ladies." Lily
said softly. "I will go next mother Lily.Nya." Narina offered.
"Well, I was one of the people that was drafted into the starting invasion force of the war.nya. I have NO idea why they chose me nya.
I'mopposed to fighting. nya. Anyways, when we got there my sole plan was to go into the forrest andavoid all of the fighting nya. It was
working for a time nya...Untill Alos found me. nya. I explained that I was opposed tofighting and he abruptly left nya."
"I was on my own again; when Lilith rushed into me nya. She already despised the tailed but I managed to convince her that I wasn't bad
nya. So together wewent to find Alos, whom I had already met, and leave the island nya. I took several more hours than them nya. I
quickly learned of the clawed's plans to aid the tailed in combat nya. It was only through luck that I found them fighting those bandits and
jumped in tohelp them nya."
"I remained in the village to learn all about their plans to help decimate the winged and then turn to the humans nya. After they destroyed
both races, they planed to turn on the scaled and retrieve the 'fire emblem' so that they would be able to ressurect the dragons and rule
over everyone nya. In a local tavern nya, I also learned that some pirates had been seen hereabouts claiming to have found a strange girl
in the water that was a sight to see nya. So later I snuck onto the ship and recognized the girl as a member of the vaikaldemi-dragon tribe
nya. I naturally set her free and we headedto the island of man as fast as we could since the pirates were after us nya. And that's where
my story runs into Alos' story nya." Narina finished.
"We'll have to get Lilith's story after she recovers. That means that all we have left is the Vaikal's. Won't you share your story with us
dear?" Lily asked. Zaphair let out a deep sigh and nodded.
"I am...Zaphair. My tribe...we...that is, the wind vaikals...lived in the skies above. I don't know what happened...suddenly the...the
vaikals...they started to dissapear. Something was...hunting us...My parents fled...they told me to flee too..." Zaphair took a deep breath
before continuing. "I...I tried to fly away...something dark...it had wings too and...chased me. It injured me...I was having trouble
flying...But when we got below the cl-clouds...The dark shapes...they, um...they went away. I was so...so weak. I fell into the water...and
I woke up...later. There were strange men around me...I was...afraid. But then Narina...she rescued me...and we both headed here...to
this island..." Zaphair sighed again. "It is...a short story...But. I took great care...To remember it..."
"That's quite alright Zaphair." Lily said warmly. "That you were able to tell us that is enough." She turned to the group. "I think that you all
should rest here for a bit. Then, we can all go to the center island and warn the scaled of these events." She said. "For real? All of us?"
Nathen asked excitedly. Lily nodded. "We'll get ready right away!" Natti exclaimed.
Yes! Another chapter down! Go me! Uh, well, that's it for now. I'll work on it later. NOTICE: I have summer school for the next four or five weeks. I'll be hard pressed to get some of this done but, I'll probably be able to work on it 4th of July weekend. Ciao!
