Hiya! Yep, it's me again. Just plain 'ol me...oh, yeah. I have a story to write don't I? Knoll: Why yes aras...you do. Me: Oh, okay. I'll start writing then. And, before I forget, I bought a manga called Tsubasa! It's cool!

Hurrying back to deliver the fire emblem to the scaled king and queen, the group doesn't realize the signs of war abound. They are

startled when they see scaled beings rushing to the shores. Wondering what happened, the group decides to follow...

Everywhere, scaled were taking up their weapons and heading for the beach. It was like a massive migration of sorts. "Is it possible that

the Tailed have already defeated the winged and humans and are heading for here?" Alos asked Maronis. Maronis nodded without

hesitation. "That is possible...or it may be that they are still fighting and this is another attack group. Besides, didn't you say that the

clawed had allied themselves with the tailed?" Alos nodded. "Right! Then these might not even be Tailed!" Rex piped in. "But...what

should we do about the fire emblem?" Lilith asked. "I was actually thinking of that. Eulara and Maronis could slip back to the castle and

deliver it to them while the rest of us aid the scaled." Alos said. Pella nodded her approval. "It is a good plan. Sis, go with Maronis. Take

the fire emblem with you to the palace." Eulara nodded as Lilith handed her the emblem. "Good luck!" Natti called.

Somewhere nearby, a man with short dark-grey hair and un-human orange eyes stod; watching the comotion. "It seems that the girl was

not captured again...am I correct general?" He asked, glaring at the woman standing next to him. "I-It will be different this time m-my

lord!" She stammered. "It seemed that the group guarding the girl last time were a pair of traitorous scaled. All doubts have been

diminished. Any suspicious characters in our army were killed...without hesitation." The man gave her a grim smile. "You'd best hope that

you do not fail me again Tarra. Or else next time it will be you who is dead." The female general gave him a shaky nod before departing.

As soon as she was well away from his sight, he transformed into a dark-grey dragon. "Let's just see if you can get away

again...Zaphair...and Lilith."

The group, minus Eulara and Maronis were making their way to the front of the mob forming by the sea. "Soldier, what's going on here?"

Flores barked to one of the nearby scaled boys. He wasn't much older than Lilith. "L-Lady Flores!" He exclaimed. "It seems that the

tailed have brought the fight to us now. There's a group of boats heading straight towards us. They reek of tailed and clawed beings.

Right now there are ballista trying to take them down." Flores nodded to him and he hurried along. "Ballista...it would be wise for us with

wings to not fly ahead." Alos remarked.

Eulara and Maronis were ducking and weaving around the soldiers headed the opposite way. The fire emblem was concealed tightly

within her cleric robes. Soon enough, they were bursting into the throne room where the king and queen were waiting with pained and

anxious expressions on their faces. "My Lord King! We've retrieved the emblem!" Maronis said. They both let out a sigh of relief. "That is

very good. When the tailed and clawed ships started to appear near the island...I had feared that maybe the emblem had been stolen. Or

worse...you might have been killed. "My king, I may be a fairly inexperienced cleric, but I had learned one thing...that nothing is more

important than the emblem. Protecting it is our top priority." Eulara said nervously. The queen nodded to her. "You are right. The fire

emblem IS special. But it is imperative that you keep yourselves alive." "Yes..." The king agreed. "It is time to put the emblem in our

care..." Eulara revealed the emblem from within the folds of her robes. It was shining brightly and giving off a faint warmth similar to a real

fire. "It's time has come...the goddess is here..." The queen said solumnly.

"Eulara! Maronis!" Lilith and Lily were waving the two over to where they stood. "So...what's the status so far?" Maronis asked. "The

ships are getting very close. But the ballista have successfully sunk two of the vessels." Alos said. "So...how'd it go? You got the emblem

to the king and queen right?" Lilith asked. Eulara nodded. "They said something about it being time...and how the goddess was here.

"That's...odd...Ahh!" Zaphair gave out a sudden cry. "What's wrong Zaphair. nya?" Narina asked. The vaikal girl was shaking slightly.

"The...vaikal are...back!" She exclaimed. Several groups of scaled gave shouts of surprise as black vaikal started pouring out of the sky.

"Come, my brothers and sisters! Burn this place to the ground!" The grey vaikal called to the others.

Soon after this time, the boats came within' attack-range and the scaled soldiers ran to meet them at the shallows. Clawed and Tailed

armed with many powerful weapons were leaping off of the docks of the ships. One familiar boat was burning on the sand. "My ship...my

glorious ship..." Wilbert silently weaped for the loss of his prized ship. "They'll pay for that!" Wilbert roared and charged through the

masses of warriors to get to the ones that had burned down his ship. "We can't let Wilbert go out there alone! Let's go!" Claudane

chased after the berserker. And everyone chased after him in turn.

The assault on the island of fire was now underway. With the fire emblem safely delivered to the king and queen scaled, the group

charges out to meet their enemies with the rest of the able-bodied scaled on the island. The battle for the emblem is not far off...

Well, that was just basically setting up for the battle. I could have actually started the fighting...but I decided to make you all wait for the next time. Muahahahaha! Uh, well...that's it for tonight (for this story atleast.) Ciao.
