Yep. It's me again. Giving you the latest instalation to this fic, before I lose it again. I ALMOST lost the scripting I had done for this chapter, causing me to freak out; but the sad thing is it was on the desk next to me the whole time! (How ditzy can I be? Very ditzy.) So I guess I really hadn't lost it at all. I keep listening to 'a small world' (Yes, the same exceedingly annoying yet addictive one from disney.) "There is just one moon and one golden sun, and a smile means friendship for everyone. Though the mountains be high and the oceans are wide it's a small world after all!"

Both Lilith and her brother now know of her true identity, due to another strange twist of fate. Alos and co. are nowfeverishly searching

for her whereabouts, while she and Zaphair await their arrival.

"Surely namkind has not forgotten about the spyrit legends?" Ozurion asked. "...Youdon't know what Spyrit is...?" Lilith shook her head.

"DarkMoon. Please enlighten our guest." DarkMoon glared down at Lilith, causing her to shrink back in fear. "The legends explain that a

fire spirit was trapped inside of the fire emblem upon its creation. This fire spirit, named Spyrit, supposedly had uncanny magical powers

that would lead its releaser to the descendent of Iria." Lilith gasped. "Then he CAN find me!" Ozurion smirked once again. "We'll see

girl..."

"Hurry up! We must find the goddess child!" Spyrit called from further up the mountain. Much further. "Wait up, nya! We have a physical

limit ya know!" Narina called. "I hope there's an easy way back down..." Nathen murmured.

It took at least an hour or two to get to where Spyrit was standing. From looking down, they were more than half-way up the mountain.

"Godness, what could be so high up?" Lily asked. "Remember, we vaikal have wings. Our destination could have been MUCH higher

up." Flores remarked.

The group was standing at the entrance of what appeared to be a very large cavern. It was easily taller and wider than any vaikal. "If it's

this large...was it made by a vaikal?" Eulara asked. Spyrit nodded. "Beyond this entrance is what you seek. It is time that you went to

claim it." Alos nodded and led the group inside. "It's so dark in here! Nya!" Narina exclaimed. "I believe I can be of some assistance."

Lily said, raising her hand to the air. "Light." A bright orb of light hovered just above her hand. "I do believe we can continue now." She

said with a smile.

They continued to walk in silence for a long time. There was nothing to see but the cavern wals; nothing to hear but the splash of water on

stone. Eventually there wasn't anything to hear at all, and there was a dull glow. "Come on! We have to hurry!" Spyrit called, breaking

into a run. Everyone else hurried to catch up with Spyrit and ended up in a large circular room similar to the room the emblem had been

in. "What is this?" Natti asked. "It is the skyway..." Spyrit replied. "Skyway?" Alos questioned.

"It's the portals to the vaikal worlds." Flores answered. "The vaikal can't leave their respective world unless invited by an escort." She

explained. "But it would seem the rules are about to be broken..." Maronis commented. "No...I left the fire clan long ago..." She said

quietly.

"Y-You never told me that...Flores."Bolman spoke up. "I-I never even told my family why I was leaving..." Flores looked down.

"Please...trust us." Natti pleaded. Nathen nodded, as well as Lily. "Unbury your troubles. Put your faith in us." She said, clasping her

hands together.

Flores sighed. "It's been so many years since I left the flame nation...too many...my family probably thinks I'm dead; my friends are

probably mourning--well, were mourning...and none of them know why..." She sobbed. "...Why, Flores?" Bolman asked carefully. He

had never seen her quite like this. "Because of...Because of...you..." She sniffled slightly. "Me!" He asked in shock.

"No! It's nothing bad! When I was injured and alone you didn't take advantage of that. You didn't do anything bad. You sheltered me

and took care of me; and you didn't change when you found out that I wasn't human. And if I were to leav emy world, without my

family's consent, to marry a human, I would be breaking several vaikal laws...But I loved you all the same, and...I'm sorry. I should have

been able to tell you something that importnat...I-" "Flores..." Bolman cut her off. "That doesn't matter anymore.. You're the best thing

that's happened to me, and it's okay that you've had some personal problems. We all do. I forgive you..." "Boman..." Flores sobbed,

jumping into his arms.

"We are wasting our time. We need to find the goddess child." Spyrit said to them. "Spyrit!" Natti said angirly. She was upset about how

uncaring the spirit was. "No...Spyrit's right. Let's go. Flores said. Everyone nodded before stepping into the fluorescent lightpad that

Spyrit was standing in front of.

Flores, after many years, has finally told some of the secrets of the vaikal clans. With this in their minds, they hurry on once more to save

Lilith and Zaphair. The end is drawing near...

That's right, double updatage! Well, that's the end of another chapter. I don't believe it! I might actually FINISH this! GO MEEEE! (Throws random party.) Um, yeah. Well, I really don't have anything else to say except read on and write on! Ciao.
