Chapter Three
The little party searches high and low all around Kayla's house for Innovindal. Drizzt becomes worried as he starts to imagine the awful things that could have happened to her.
"I wonder if she's at Mytheral Hall or maybe at…" Drizzt begins.
"Nope!" Entreri says. "She's not there; I checked." His face is so sober Drizzt cannot figure if he's upset or doesn't care that Innovindal is missing. Probably doesn't care, he decides.
"Right." Is all Drizzt can say.
"I checked all around Bend with Katie and Wulfgar." Kai explains. Drizzt tries to go to his memories and see if he can remember anything about Innovindal. Maybe she went off looking for the medallion in hopes of saving us some trouble. Drizzt thinks to himself. There's no other solution.
"Everyone!" Drizzt yells as he claps his hands to get everyone's attention. They all stare at Drizzt intently. "I believe that Innovindal might be out searching for Kai's medallion. Let us go and search for it ourselves. Maybe we'll run into her." Entreri rolls his eyes and Jarlaxle glares at him; he then smiles.
"Maybe Innovindal went out to look for a Chocabo, she wanted a boyfriend right?" Jarlaxle jokes.
"What's a Chocabo?" Kai asks.
"I don't know, I've heard Kayla use the term before though." They all look at Kayla with questioning looks.
"It's too complicated." Kayla says. "Let's just go on our mission."
"We must train you for at least two weeks first." Drizzt explains.
"Training?"
"Yeah, Catti-Brie and I agree that you and Katie should learn to fight so you can protect yourselves."
"Cool!" Kayla and Katie shout.
"Kayla, you will use a sword and Katie, you will use a bow and arrow, understand?" They both nod happily with excitement.
Out in Kayla's backyard, Drizzt (who had a sprite carve a sword for him) has Kayla practice swinging her new sword. He analyzes the way she holds it, swings it, and carries it.
Catti-Brie, in Kayla's front yard, helps Katie hold a bow and teaches her special names she can use to transform each bow. The training had begun…
As Auron flys towards Cid's airship in the sky, Sarah is gong insane with all kinds of questions. How come Kayla never told me they existed? Is Drizzt really as serious as Kayla imagines him? Does Innovindal know Sesshomaru? All those and many more questions raced through her head.
"Auron?" Sarah asks. "How did Kayla bring Drizzt and them to life do you think?"
"Sarah, we don't even know if it was Kayla who brought them to life. Plus, I'm sure that they came to life the same way we did; the kid believed in them so much-"
"That they came to life." Sarah finishes. "But why didn't she tell me? It's so strange!"
"Well, you never told her we were real either, it's only fair."
" I never thought of it that way. Does she even trust me?"
"Are you kidding me? Of course she does. Maybe the kid who brought them to life wasn't Kayla."
"Than maybe it was Katie."
"Which one? You know three Katies."
"Well, it's only obvious which one Auron."
"Sigh, I guess. Kayla's Katie, right?" Sarah nods with sarcasm.
They land on the airship and Sarah runs up to Cid. She wears a white silk dress, so it looks funny when she runs on her silver high heels.
"Cid! I need you to locate Drizzt Do' Urdan!" she explains.
"What for? A date?" he asks.
"Eww! No! Just do it, ok?"
"Fine." Cid types in Drizzt Do' Urdan into his computer. "What kind of creature is he?"
"A drow. Black skin, white hair."
"Looks as though Dad wasn't the only one born with white hair." Neo jokes. Tidus and the others laugh. Auron looks at Neo and glares, then smiles casually.
"Maybe so, but Inuyasha wasn't the only half-breed born either." He replies. Everyone laughs harder and Neo just looks away.
"Drizzt Do' Urdan currently is alive in the real world." Cid reads off the computer. "His current location is Bend, OR, Lowrider Lane in-"
"I knew it!" Sarah cries. "Kayla lives on Lowrider Lane! What does it say under master?"
"Well, he has two masters: Kayla and Katie." Sarah faints from astonishment and Auron just shakes his head and sighs.
