Sorry I took so long to update. I took a couple weeks off, and now's the time to get this thing rolling again. So Chapter 10 is ready to go!

The Boy's Story Chapter 10: Cid Does His Homework

The library of Bervenia Castle truly is a wondrous thing the first time you go there. There are so many shelves of books that it extends up a staircase and into the second floor. With books about anything you can imagine, it is truly a spectacle fit for a king...or queen.

Among these pages and shelves of knowledge, we find Judgemaster Cid catching up on some reading. Specifically, he was reading Alchemy: How to Turn Stuff Into Frogs. He was mumbling to himself incoherently, as he had been for several days. It creeped the servants way out, and made it difficult to get help.

The page our dear Judgemaster was reading had so many new notes written into it that he practically rewrote the book.

Prince Mewt came along and found his father studying an ancient magical art that had only been practiced by Nu Mou for years. "Father, what are you reading?"

"I'm reading about Alchemy, Mewt," said Cid.

"Why?"

"Well Mewt, do you remember that intruder that invaded that castle and smashed down the door a couple of days ago?"

"Yeah."

"He was an Alchemist, and I think he'll be back. I'm researching about it so that I can know what to expect. My only question is, how did he outrun judges on chocobos?"

Mewt walked away, confused about why his father was worrying about outrunning chocobos.

"Has anyone seen Cala?" Ezel asked as he walked calmly into the underground base.

"Not since we sent him out, kupo," Klondae told him.

"Hey Klondae, why do you moogles always say 'kupo'? What does that mean?" Josele asked.

It's 'Opuk' spelled backwards. Opuk was the moogle who single-handedly won the Great War, kupo. We say it in honor of him."

"That's beside the point. Have you seen Cala, Josele?" Ezel repeated.

"Not since I yelled at him to get out of my face when he came back here. That was yesterday," Josele told him.

"YOU DID WHAT?! Come on! We've got to go find him!"

Chapter 10 completed! Another reason I took so long to update was because I was in Final Fantasy overload. During winter break, I got Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy Origins (Final Fantasy 1 and 2), found a good upcoming deal on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, played Final Fantasy X with my dad, bought and watched the first 8 episodes of Final Fantasy Unlimited, and downloaded the roms for Final Fantasy 5, Final Fantasy 6, and Chrono Trigger. So that makes 8 Final Fantasys! (And Chrono Trigger.) Well, until ext week!
