Astel frolicked in the grassy meadow, tasting the fresh air. Baby birds chirped as cute bunnies with floppy ears danced around Astel. He passed out into the grass feeling its course texture. He picked up a tiny caterpillar that matched the shade of the grass and held it with his finger, staring at its beauty. He placed the caterpillar down, as he smelled the daisies in the field.
"ASTEL, DO THE DISHES!" Rianna hollered from the distance. "IF YOU DON'T COME HERE IN THREE SECONDS YOU WILL BE SENT TO THE NAUGHTY MAT!"
"Five more minutes?" Astel tried to bargain, rolling in the grass.
"ONE!" Rianna counted.
"YES, DEAR!" Astel agreed sluggishly walking towards his house.
Astel slothfully entered the tiny hut and slowly made his way to the sink dragging his weight on each step. He dumped the bucket of water into the sink as he added the soap. Tiny bubbles emerged from the waters as he picked up a dish from the pile that climbed towards the ceiling.
"I'm going to town to pick up some knitting materials." Rianna explained, while grabbing her purse.
"You, knit? That's a first!" Astel questioned while scrubbing the dish.
"No, you're knitting me a blanket!"
"Yes, dear!"

Calintz, Serina, Fred, Raul, Eonis, and Chris opened the ancient door to the Pnosen Library. Endless amounts of books were on the shelves, the massive room was larger then the Great Temple and Invok Castle put together.
"It's a shame Azel had to go back to headquarters." Chris commented looking at the vast room. "If you ask me he probably is with a girl!"
"Katherine isn't here." Fred pointed out amused by the colours of the books. "She refused to get her dress dusty in sand; she always was a drama queen!"
"General Sheed Estar." Calintz whispered to himself, remembering what the jewelry had told him about his father.
They each spread out throughout the library searching throughout the books, trying to find a clue. Calintz went into the Maracatte history section, wishing to find information on his father.
"I remember something!" Fred pointed out in a random occurrence.
"My children were taken away from me ten years ago! And Katherine's maiden name is Lora!"
They continued to search in the books, not paying attention to what Fred had said. Serina flipped threw the pages to a more recent book: Amabat's Great Priestess, and Great Clerics from the past 100 years. Her eyes widened as she stared at a piece of information.
"Look!" She called out, motioning everyone to come to here. "I found out something interesting!"
Everyone dropped their books unto the floor and sprinted towards Serina. Calintz was the first to grab the textbook. He smiled as he looked at the page.
"General Sheed Estar marries The Great Priestess Ladrinne." He read out loud. "Ladrienne (née Owen) from Garute marries the General of the Alliance, General Sheed Estar. The Estar family did not approve of their son marring someone outside of Maracatte, so they didn't come to the wedding. Several months later they were blessed with a son named Billy Bob Joe."
"HA!" Eonis laughed. "Your real name is Billy Bob Joe!"
"Shut up! I'm not done!" Calintz snared, clutching the book. "The General was killed by a mysterious Yason clan, The Dark Yasons, and their son had been kidnapped by them. Billy Bob Joe mysterious arrived in Fuget, a dojo for orphans, where he trained there for many years. After the destruction of the dojo, a cleric by the name of Fred Abel (Anthony Abel's son.) found him; Billy Bob Joe was returned to his mother. Rumour has it; a wandering goat killed the Yason and raised the child as its own. People found him and sent him to Fuget."
"I think I remember sending someone to Amabat!" Fred said, dazed into space.
"If Billy Bob Joe is his real name then why is Agreian called Agreian?" Chris questioned.
"Knowing him he legally changed his name." Calintz pointed out giving the book back to Serina. "I mean, I'm sure anyone would legally change their name if it was Billy Bob Joe."
They continued to search. Many hours had passed as the moon appeared in the blackened sky.
"The Library will close in 10 minutes." Amon announced.
They placed the books back where they belonged and headed back to Remie. On their travels they encountered a man wearing a pink valet tuxedo. He had the same meshed hair blowing in the gentle breeze as the last guy they killed. He grabbed his piano, which he lifted above his head and said, "You can't kill me; I'm already dead! It is your turn to die Calintz!"
"Why do you want me dead?" Calintz asked, drawing out his sword.
Eonis and Serina steped forward with Calintz; they had prepared themselves for the battle. The zombie threw the piano at Calintz causing Calintz to kneel to the ground. Serina jumped in the air casting 'Cheer.' Calintz was still on the ground because that spell sucks.
"Dammit! I ran out of Chi!" Serina grumbled, glaring at the victim. "You better not die Calintz! That jerk stole all the Water chi"
Eonis waited a few days before the yellow bar reached the triangled. She jumped in the air, causing a random fiery cross to appear in front of her. The edges of the cross attacked the Zombie, causing it to turn into that same blue/green orb thingy as it disappeared.
