Summary: Njel is Fran and Balthier's 6 year old daughter. She's a Viera (duh xD) that dreams of being a sky pirate, just like her parents. [Njel's POV

Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy XII or any other Final Fantasy game. But I do own Njel, because I made her up XD.

Mommy and Daddy came back, but they've only been over for one night. "Mommy, Daddy, I want to go with you!" I cried when they were about to leave the village. "Sorry Njel, you will have to stay with your aunts." Mommy told me, grabbed Daddy's hand and ran away, knowing that I wouldn't let go of her leg until she accepted. Aunt Jote put her hand on my shoulder, and looked deep into my eyes. I didn't know what that meant.

As I walked to aunt Jote's house, the Wood-Warders looked at me, but still with their serious face, that they have all the time.

Four years later...

These four years have passed very quickly. I am now 10 years old. Yes, Mom and Dad visit me every now and then. Aunt Jote finally lets me go around the village, without anyone looking after me.

Every morning, I help the Viera getting some fruit, though I still have to practice more. The baskets are so heavy!

But I am so tired of doing the same things everyday! So, one night, I escaped from the Village. No one was awake, not even the Wood-Warders. I took a bow that Mom gave me, she said it would protect me from evil. I think it will. There are many fiends in Golmore Jungle. I also got some potions and supplies from a drawer at aunt Jote's house.

As I entered the Jungle, a Malboro started attacking me. I shot an arrow at it, but it didn't seem to do much damage, so I decided to run away. I walked the whole night, through a path that was safer; only a few fiends attacked me.

I finally arrived at Salikawood. I leaned on a tree, thinking of what I should do. I covered my face with my hands and started crying. I realized that running away had been a big mistake.

"Njel, is that you?" I heard from behind. It was aunt Mjrn! I ran to her and hugged her. "Aunt Mjrn, thank Goodness you're here! How did you know that I ran away?" I asked. "The Wood told me, Njel. The Wood never lies." she smiled. "Can we go back to the Village?" I asked. "Of course. Just tell me why you ran away." "Didn't the Wood tell you?" "No, sweetheart. Please tell me what happened."

I sat on a stump of a tree, sighed, and explained: "Aunt Mjrn, the village is boring. I would like to be free like my parents, that's why I ran away." "Then you would leave us." Aunt Mjrn said. I stood up and crossed my arms. "That is the problem! Aunt Jote says that Viera who leave the Village are not welcome anymore. But if I become a Sky Pirate, I won't be able to visit you and aunt Jote!" I sighed again. "Oh and by the way, aunt, if the Viera who leave the Village are not welcome anymore, why are you here?" Aunt Mjrn looked to the horizon full of green trees. "We are going to have a conversation with your aunt." She grabbed my hand and we walked back to the Village.

In Golmore Jungle, three Malboros attacked us. I didn't know how to fight yet, and I thought that aunt Mjrn could handle them. But I was wrong. She fell on the floor, almost dead.

I was really scared, but the Malboros, instead of attacking me, they continued attacking my aunt untill she was really dead.

"HEY! You leave my aunt alone!" I shouted. I was very angry at the Malboros. I got ten arrows and shot them all at the three Malboros. They were killed in a blink of an eye. I could not believe what I just had done. My first battle won.

I ran to aunt Mjrn, got on my knees and hugged her, while she was lying on the floor. She looked dead, but I could feel her heart beating a little. I got a Phoenix Down from my pocket and gave it to her. I had five potions, but I only needed two of them to cure aunt Mjrn.

"Aunt! You're okay!" I was very happy! "You did great, Njel. Your parents would be very proud." she replied. I smiled at her, and remember my parents. They hadn't visited me in 3 months. But I knew they would come soon.

Once again, aunt Mjrn grabbed my hand and we finally arrived at the Village. Aunt Jote was standing there waiting for us, accompained by some Wood-Warders. She was probably very mad at me.
