Hello again, everyone! It's update time! Isn't that just WONDERFUL?! Just a future warning, though: I may slow down a little bit. I have a very big band thing coming up – the state contest – and I'm filling out applications for scholarships and programs and all this mess! Especially since the college EGP and I are thinking about going to is expensive and private... Haha, but I will do my best to keep the chapters coming as fast as I can! So...answers-to-reviews time!

NasiraWolf: It's okay! Hehe, two in one. Technically, 'new bad guy' was already a bad guy... (evil laugh) Ranulf's timing is simply impeccable, innit? I just randomly got the idea for having Mihara give Shoen a noogie. It was, one second, I was plotting, then the next, "SHOEN, NOOGIENOOGIENOGGIE!!" ...Maybe I was high... And yes, Petrine's kids are dead, for the final time. ...Or are they? Thanks for your review(s)!

Predator Drone: Darn, you weren't the first, according to my review box... Maybe this time! =) Yeah, Ike and love advice just doesn't really click, does it? Haha, the real slumber party would've been more like Mihara, Sylvia, Ginia, Micaiah, Mist, Sanaki (O.o?), Leanne... Yeah, it could've been worse, hehe. Thanks for the review!

TheSilverHairedMaiden: Well...umm...what can I say about the dream...? STRANGE. There we go! =D Haha, that's kinda sweet, though. That you were dreaming about my story, I mean. There will also be much sibling and family and friend bonding in the next stretch of the story! And...how...DO you lose an infinite supply...? Haha, thanks for reviewing!

Chef Colette: I'm glad you liked the chapter and I was happy to get rid of possession on Irea and Sanaki, ha. Thanks for reviewing!

XTwilightxSpiritX: I'm happy you think I'm doing a good job on Tibarn! I was worried in the beginning that I wouldn't get him very good...but I'm feeling better about it now. Don't worry, Mihara will confess...soon enough! ...Hey, I hope you're gonna share that post-apocalypse gear! =P Thanks for the review!

Iline: It's awesome that you like Shoen! Although...he's not as innocent as everyone thinks...I mean, remember the pit bull thoughts against Kyo?! (Hahaha) Thank you for reviewing!

Chapter 26

They were drawing close to the Goldoa coast. Janaff and Ulki – who were in their full forms – constantly glanced at Zelena, who was slightly tiring since she had to fly the whole way in her half form. Suddenly, chaos unleashed. Ulki heard them first. He froze, his eyes wide. Janaff and Zelena turned quickly. Janaff inquired, "What is it, Ulki?"

"...Damn it. We have wyvern riders coming up on us – eight of them," Ulki reported, turning southward, towards Begnion, where they were coming from.

"Hell..." Janaff cursed under his breath. "How far away?"

"Three miles, but they're moving fast. They could be on top of us in a few minutes."

Zelena frowned. "Come on! Let's hurry! I've got the feeling that Tibarn isn't too far!"

"Lady Zelena!" Janaff flew just below her. "Please get on! We'll move faster."

"...Right." Zelena lowered herself onto Janaff's back and held on tight. Once she was secure, Janaff and Ulki took off as fast as they could. Slowly, the beats of wyvern wings grew louder...

XxXxXxX A Day and a Half Later... XxXxXxX

Sylvia had finally decided to ask Mihara and Ginia to accompany her to the outskirts of Altiaire's castle so that she could practice her lightning magic. Even though Mihara grumbled to the part where she couldn't fly, even though her sprint had been removed, she happily told Sylvia that she would go with her. Ginia, however, had duties to attend to, so she would not be able to go with them. Hearing this, Tibarn, once again, elected Shoen to go with them. Even though he protested, he groaned ("She's gonna zap me on purpose, Dad...") and said he would go. So, momentarily, the children of Tibarn were hiding behind a boulder, encouraging Sylvia to start and not aim at them in any way possible...

Sylvia slipped opened the thunder tome book and stared at the pages blankly.

"...Can you even read the ancient language?" Mihara inquired, just thinking about that fact that all magic was written in the old Tellian language.

She squinted her eyes at the pages. "Well...somehow, I can understand it and what it's saying, but I'm not sure I understand how to pronounce it."

"That's...strange." Shoen frowned.

Sylvia stared at the book with concentration while she trudged through the three inches of snow on the ground before sitting down on the rocks, just in front of the bolder where the siblings were hiding. Mihara and Shoen emerged from their spot and looked at Sylvia. Without even looking up, she snapped playfully, "Do not look at me! I WILL crack this code! I can get this! I don't need pressure!!" She then began to laugh hysterically.

"Is she...okay?" Shoen pondered aloud to his sister.

Mihara rolled her eyes and turned away. "She's always been like that."

"Well...while she's...'cracking the code', what should we do? We can't spar yet..." Shoen turned to his sister.

She shrugged, then pulled her long silver coat closer to her body and stomped her feet, which had brown boots on them. "It's getting colder..."

"Yeah..." Shoen looked up at the gray sky. "But I think there's going to be a lot more snow coming later."

Intrigued by this assumption, Sylvia looked up. "How do you know that?"

"It's an instinct," he explained. "In a way. Similar to how you can smell the rain on the way. Except this is a feeling."

"Oh... Can you feel it, Mihara?"

"Yeah. I got the feeling it's gonna be...well, like, super-major-freeze-our-tails-off cold tonight..."

Sylvia shuddered at the thought. "Well, dang..." She glanced down at the book and suddenly muttered a word. A few centimeters away from Shoen, there was a small bolt of lightning that struck the ground, melting the snow around it. The Hawk Prince and Princess yelped and leaped away. Sylvia's eyes lit up as though it were Christmas morning. "Oh, my gosh! Didja see that?! I did it!!"

"You did something..." Shoen grumbled. "Almost hit me..."

Sylvia grinned. "Sorry."

Mihara chuckled evilly. "Now do it again."

"What, almost hit Shoen?"

"No, try doing the zap-thingy again!"

Sylvia frowned, but said the word again. It wasn't as strong, but the tiny bolt was enough to shock Mihara painfully. "Ow! Dammit!"

"Ha-HA! Didn't think I could do it again, didja?!"

Shoen snorted, trying to hold in his laughter. Mihara glared at him. "Do I need to hurt you again?"

"No, no...it's okay..."

Sylvia threw her head back gave off an evil laugh. "Mwahahaha! I have done it! I am now-!" She stopped, squinting her eyes at the clouds. "What is that?"

Fearing the worst, the siblings flung themselves around and looked up. Mihara's face quickly relaxed. "It's Reyson! But...he's by himself."

"Huh..." Shoen shifted to his full form. "I wonder what he's here for... I'll go check it out."

"Okay..." The two girls watched him fly up towards the White Prince. Quick words were shared between them before they began to fly towards the castle, Shoen shrieking something down at his sister. Sylvia asked, "What'd he say?"

"Reyson's here to talk with Dad."

"Oh..." Sylvia sounded slightly disappointed.

"Well..." Mihara droaned. "You want to practice more or go see him?"

"I'll practice later tomorrow if the weather isn't too bad and the snow isn't too deep. We can go see him."

"Okay." Mihara stretched her right wing, flexing the muscles. She looked upward, watching Shoen and Reyson flying towards the castle.

"Miharaaa..." Sylvia said warningly.

"I know, I know... I just...can't wait until tomorrow."

"You should also be saying 'I can't wait until my birthday three and a half days from now!'"

Mihara grinned. "Yeah, yeah. So what are you getting me?"

Sylvia 'psh'ed. "Who says I'm getting you anything?"

"Meee!" Mihara threw her arms around Sylvia's shoulders.

"Uh-huh..." Sylvia pushed her off. "You may be the princess of this country, but you can't demand I get you a present!"

Mihara beamed innocently. "Want me to sic Daddy on you?"

"Whoa, now, I never said I didn't get you a present..."

XxXxXxX

Kyo narrowed his eyes as he walked forward. The damned woman – or goddess, or whatever she is – was lucky that she still managed to pay him. Although, what was with the whole changing-the-subject thing? Now he wasn't even targeting the royal hawk family! He was going after this branded girl who was related to the king of the new, small nation in the Gran Desert? He scoffed to himself.

This isn't even worth my time... The hawks, at least, gave me a challenge.

Perhaps...I'll run into them. This time, since I received no orders concerning them...I believe I shall go after them with all my might.

XxXxXxX

"Reyson. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Tibarn crossed his arms. "Quite a surprise visit."

"Yes, well...I just...needed some time to myself." The Heron Prince glanced at Tibarn.

"Did something happen?"

"Naesala...he..."

"He told you, then? About he and Leanne?"

Reyson frowned and looked at the Hawk King. "You knew?"

"I only figured it out about a week or two ago."

Reyson shifted. "Well, whatever. It was just...somewhat of a shock. I mean, I expected it eventually, but not any time soon."

"It's understandable. So why did you come here? No doubt it wasn't just to tell me," said Tibarn.

"I just...needed some time to think to myself. I'll go back soon, but I wanted some space."

"I see. Well, you're always welcome here. Stay as long as you want, Reyson."

"Thanks, Tibarn." Reyson's face lit up a little. "It's always good to see you."

"You too, Reyson. Now...I have a bit of work to do. I'm sure you can find some way to entertain yourself."

"Of course."

Reyson left the room, closing the door behind him. He turned to Shoen, who had waited outside the door patiently. "What were you three doing out there? It's cold as blazes here..."

"Sylvia was practicing her lightning magic." Shoen shuddered. "Be lucky you weren't nearby."

"Sylvia...that's Mihara's friend?"

Shoen nodded. "A dangerous one, at that..." he muttered under his breath.

Reyson grinned with amusement. He began to walk with Shoen down the halls. "So, it's...kind of strange to see you so...much..."

"Older?" Shoen chuckled. "I'm still getting used to it."

"It was caused by Ashera?"

"Yeah. It happened to Mihara, too. So, she looks a little older now, too."

"I see..."

Ginia was suddenly moving quickly towards the two, wearing an apron and carrying a tray with steaming warm drinks. She stopped just short of the two and offered some. "Hot chocolate?"

"Thank you, Ginia," said Reyson as he happily accepted his mug of the drink, Shoen echoing him. However, the younger laguz frowned.

"Ginia...why do you have three more mugs? There was Reyson, myself, Mihara, and Sylvia in the snow..."

"Oh. One's for me!" Ginia chirped, winked, then walked towards the main entrance.

The two bird laguz stared after the raven female and blinked. "Well...that was...strange."

Back in the main entrance hallway, everyone nearby heard Sylvia purr, "Ooohhh, it's sooo wwwaaarrrmmm in here!" One bystander even said, "No duh..."

Ginia came at the two girls with the mugs of hot chocolate. Both their eyes lit up. Sylvia squealed, "Yes! The one thing I loved so much on a cold, winter day is here, too!"

Mihara smiled gratefully. "Thanks, Ginia."

"No problem!" Ginia took her own mug (with a sly smirk) and put the tray under her arm. She sipped it and let loose a long sigh. "So nice..."

While Mihara and Sylvia shook the snow off their shoes and coats, Mihara inquired, noting Ginia's apron, "So, what have you been working on?"

"Oooh, nothing much. I've been cooking and baking things to warm everyone up. Not to mention, I'm giving some to my little sister."

The two girls looked surprised. "We didn't know you had a younger sister!"

"She doesn't live in the castle. She lives farther out west, at that side of the coast. She visits about once a month or so." Ginia smiled. "This time was special. She visited with her new husband. She's expecting."

"That's great!" the two exclaimed happily, beaming with delight.

"So you're gonna be an auntie." Mihara chuckled.

"Yes!"

"Auntie Ginia!" Sylvia grinned.

"Yes...?"

"We should start calling you that."

Ginia raised an eyebrow. "No."

"Why not?!" they demanded.

"...No!" Ginia laughed. "I'm not your aunt!"

"So?" The two shrugged.

"...I'm going back to work!"

As Ginia went back towards the kitchen, Mihara and Sylvia chortled more. "She's embarassed."

The two girls began walking back towards Mihara's room, both still sipping their hot chocolate carefully, since it was still slightly scalding. "So, is that really all she's doing in there? She was covered in a lot of flour..." Mihara trailed off.

Sylvia scoffed. "Of course!"

At her friend's tone of voice, Mihara raised a suspicious eyebrow and gave her a playful glare. "Oh, really?"

"What else would she be doing?"

"...I don't know..." Mihara mumbled, "But something's fishy here..."

XxXxXxX

Chaos ensued around them. Tibarn ran out of the house, Trinity on his heels, Tristen behind her. The three siblings' eyes burned with rage. It was happening again; this time, to their village. A platoon of the army was raiding their village, running into houses, throwing the residents out, and stealing their valuables, including their food. The men grabbed women by their hair and dragged them...they were setting fire to the houses...there was screaming. The three orphans' blood boiled with indescribable hatred. All at once, the three shifted into their full forms and charged at the closest member of the king's army.

Trinity shot at a man who was shifting, raising his talons to a young teenage male laguz who tried to stop the warrior from taking his young mother away. She completely tackled him, throwing them both to the ground. She quickly got off of the startled man and flew up into the air, screamed with rage, and swiftly plunged her talons into his chest.

Tibarn and Tristen flew at two warriors who had just killed an elderly woman and her husband and hadn't even shifted into their full forms. The brothers didn't give the murderers a chance to. They sunk their talons into their half-beorc flesh, their blood staining their long, sharp talons.

The two brothers were out of control. The only ones they could see were their enemies...the murderers... However, Trinity kept slight control over herself. She needed to be able to think, despite the explosive anger she had released on just that one kill. She looked around, at the blazing fires, her fleeing people, the bodies of her dead people... Her people. She needed to get them out. Quickly glancing around, she spotted three sobbing young girls whose wings were too small to yet carry them. She flew at them, keeping a wary eye for any warriors who might go after them.

She landed beside them and they looked up at her, bawling. "Sista Twinity...?" one sniffled.

"That's right, little one," Trinity said gently. "Sister Trinity's going to get you out of here. Hold on to my talons, okay? I know that there's wet stuff on them, but it's okay – it won't hurt you."

Even as they obeyed, another one sobbed, "Sista Twinity...one of da bad men came and took mama...and papa...! Papa's...!"

"It's okay, shh. We'll be okay. We'll help your mama, okay? I promise-"

"SISTA TWINITY!!" the third shrieked, pointing behind them.

Trinity snapped her head around and saw a warrior flying at them at a dangerously fast speed, his talons aiming right at her back. She narrowed her eyes and bent over the children, determined to protect them. Suddenly, a blur tackled the hawk off of his path. Tibarn shrieked and flew at him after sharing a quick glance with his sister. Trinity beat her wings, making sure the girls were holding on tight, and took off. She flew towards the forest, where the warriors were forcing the townspeople to flee to. She found a clearing and landed. "Okay, girls, listen to me..." she whispered. "I need to go back and help. Stay hidden here in the bushes. If one of the bad men come, run, alright? Make sure they don't see you."

"Pwease don't leave us, sista Twinity!" the youngest pleaded.

"I'm sorry, girls. It'll be okay. You're brave girls, aren't you? Everything'll be alright. I'll be back as soon as I can. I promise."

"...Okay... Pwease be caweful."

"Of course I will be. Remember: stay quiet unless it's one of the others, okay?"

"Okay."

Trinity took back off. Damn it all... She flew back towards her burning village, able to see her way in the dimming light. There were simply too many of them. She and her brothers and the few others able to fight well couldn't possibly get rid of the entire platoon. She scanned the quickly-becoming battlefield, looking for her brothers. She spotted Tristen first. He, too, was helping others escape, killing those who came at him lethally. Tibarn, however, was going after warrior after warrior. Trinity glared at him. He was being reckless. She shot down towards him. He was screeching with anger, rage, and an unsatisfied bloodthirst. He had just killed another when Trinity flew before him. "Tibarn, stop! We need to get out of here!"

"No!" he instantly snapped, trying to go after another. Trinity slammed into him, knocking the wind out of him.

"Tibarn, snap out of it! Think! We've got most of the people out! We need to run before they overpower us! I'm as angry as you are, but we need to be smart about this!" Trinity constantly checked their suroundings, making sure they weren't about to be attacked.

Tibarn's head dropped slightly. "But, Trinity..."

"No 'but's, Tibarn! Get your ass in gear! Tristen and I will be right behind you! Head to the forest – I hid those girls there! Find them and get them somewhere safe, got it?!" she ordered.

Slowly, Tibarn regained his control. "...Alright." As much as he hated running, he knew Trinity was right. They all needed to survive. He flew quickly off towards the forest, checking to make sure he was in the clear and that no enemies were following him. He landed on the borders of the trees and let go of his full form. He needed to save his energy in case something major came up while he was trying to help the others escape. He ran into the trees, tucking his wings in tightly so that he wouldn't slow down.

However, he didn't get far. He saw someone...standing...watching the tragedy behind him. He halted in his tracks. The figure was that of a young woman, the same age as he. She had dazzling dark brown hair and hazel eyes. What Tibarn didn't note was how sad her eyes were. All he saw was her nice clothes...the clothes an elite wore. She must've realized he was standing there, for she looked over and appeared shocked to see him there. He ran at her and stopped a few feet away from her, his hands balled up in fists. "You...! You're an elite..."

With shame in her gentle voice, that Tibarn didn't hear, she answered, "...Yes. Are you one of the villagers?"

"What the hell does it matter to the likes of you?" Tibarn moved a few steps closer, his body trembling with ire. "It doesn't matter to you damned elites! Why the hell do you look down on us?! Just because things have happened to us in life?! You've all got more than enough supplies in the castle! Why do you all feel that you need to destroy us by stealing from us and killing all those innocents?!"

The girl's eyes dropped. "I'm so sorry...! I know what they're doing is wrong...! I just wish-!"

Tibarn fiercely grabbed her shoulders with his bloody hands. "I asked you a question...! And I want a damn answer, elite bitch!" he spat.

She flinched at his tight grip and looked him straight in his golden eyes. "The king doesn't care about you all. He only wants to watch you suffer. And just so you know, not all elites-!"

"That's it?! That's the only reason he's having his dogs murder innocent laguz?!" Tibarn exploded. He grabbed her left wrist with his right hand and slammed her around into the side of a tree. She cried out with pain. "That's it?!" he roared again.

The girl winced as she moved away from the tree. "Please...just listen to me..."

"To an elite? I'd rather die," he hissed with a deep loathing.

"Lady Zelena! Where are you?!" a voice called from the distance.

The girl's head snapped towards the voice. Tibarn advanced on her again. "They're looking for you? Well, that's too bad. I'll just kill you and leave you here for them to find."

She, Zelena, trembled slightly. "Please. Stop..."

Running footsteps quickly moved towards the two. Suddenly, Tristen's arms wrapped around Tibarn, stopping him. "Damn it, Tibarn, we need to go!"

"Tristen! Let me go!" Tibarn struggled against his brother.

"No! Cool your head! She isn't worth killing right now! We need to get out of here!" Tristen began to overpower his younger brother. "Trinity's waiting for us!"

Tibarn growled. He paused, then stopped struggling. Tristen slowly released Tibarn. The younger brother pointed a finger at Zelena. "Watch yourself next time we meet, elite." He then ran with Tristen, away from Zelena and their burning village.

Zelena watched them disappear into the night. She breathed deeply, trying to calm her nerves, and sank to her knees. "...Tibarn...was it? I'm so sorry...! I wish my uncle...my father...and Vladmir wouldn't do this...! I can tell that you're in so much pain... I'm sorry...!"

XxXxXxX

Zelena...why is it I'm thinking of you so much at the moment? Ever since that energy aged Mihara and Shoen, Mihara...just looks so much like you. That must be it... Every time I think of you, my chest hurts so much. Oh, Zelena...how I wish I could hold you...just one more time. Tibarn sighed, long and hard, and looked out the window, the snow beginning to fall again. I was just so heartless then...I hated every elite with a firey passion...and now...I wish I had listened to you. I would give just about anything to even hear your voice again...

"Tibarn...I love you...please...pro...tect the...children..."

The Hawk King drew in a shuddering breath and shook his head fiercely. He had to snap out of it! He had work to take care of! He stood up and took long strides to the door and opened it. On the opposite side of the hall stood Ginia, still holding the empty tray under her arm and her mug of hot chocolate in her left hand. She smiled sheepishly. "Umm...Your Majesty...I'll still understand if you want to get one of the chefs to do it instead..."

Tibarn smiled at her. "Nonsense. You can do it. You have a few days left to practice. I'm sure that even if it's a complete disaster – which it won't be-" he added with Ginia's pouty look, "Mihara will love it."

"Well...if you say so, sir."

Tibarn nodded. "I do."

"Okay, then... Well, excuse me, then, Your Majesty." Ginia bowed to her king before walking back towards the kitchen.

Tibarn chuckled lightly and turned the opposite way to walk to a meeting that he was due in.

XxXxXxX

At Reyson's request, Shoen had given the White Prince his space. Since Mihara and Sylvia had gone back to their rooms, Shoen decided that he felt like taking a flight around outside. He felt too couped up from the past few days. He left out the back of the castle, but flew his way to the small port that was still in the process of being made. He flew out – in his full form to help protect himself against the cold – to the edge of the cliffs, where Mihara had thrown her strange Earth device into the water. He landed and looked out at the horizon, watching the slightly raging waves. He scanned along the ocean, looking as far as he could, everywhere he could. Something caught his eye...a boat coming in? He scoffed lightly. Quite the time for someone to be coming in.

But wait...what was that flying above it? Shoen squinted his eyes, trying to focus on the small figure above the small boat. He couldn't quite tell... He beat his wings and caught an air current low to the water and flew towards the boat. When he got close enough, he saw who it was. It was that strange assassin that attacked he and his father! He was circling the boat, obviously looking for his target on board. Whoever it was must've been below deck, for lightning was striking at the dragon laguz, but the person was not to be seen. Oddly enough, the assassin must not have seen Shoen yet. The Hawk Prince spotted some well-positioned rocks that were jutting out from the waters. He shot at them and perched himself on one so that he was mostly hidden from view. He watched what was happening.

"I know you're in there, branded wench! I can smell your pathetic fear all the way out here!" Kyo called down to the boat, shifting into his full form with a smirk upon his dragon features.

There was a muffled voice responding to Kyo, but Shoen couldn't make it out. The only response he was an elthunder striking from the sky and jerking around, trying to hit the assassin. However, Kyo was too fast. He dodged the lightning strikes with ease. He then decided to end everything quickly. Kyo opened his mouth large, inhaled, and he exhaled with great force, shooting the boat with his fire. Immediately, the floating vessel caught fire and split in half from where Kyo hit it. He rumbled with laughter before flying back from the way the boat had been coming from. Shoen tensed up. He couldn't wait too long, but he had to wait until he was sure Kyo wouldn't turn back around. The dragon kept flying and wasn't obviously turning around. He must've been very assured that whoever he had been targeting was dead in the sinking boat. Shoen made his move.

He flapped himself up into the air a few feet above the ocean's waves. He made a powerful dive. However, as soon as he was underwater, he shifted back into his half-form so he could swim around better. The water was absolutely freezing cold. It was so cold that Shoen felt like his limbs were slowly freezing in place. He kept kicking and moving. He looked around in the water, searching for the person the assassin had been going after.

There!

Shoen caught sight of a limp female body sinking along with the wreckage. He swam towards her and wrapped his arm around her. He pulled her along, trying to still avoid the wreckage while he swam back towards the surface. He broke the surface and deeply inhaled – slowly – to refill his lungs. He looked at the light green haired girl. She wasn't breathing. While he swam as quickly as he could towards the rocks, Shoen realized something: This is the same girl that Ashera had been controlling in the Tower of Guidance! What in the heck is she doing here?!

Shoen pulled her up onto the rocks and laid her out. He bent over her, listening for her breathing. She was, but barely. Shoen shook her slightly. "Hey... Hey, wake up...!"

Her light blue eyes opened a slit. She looked distantly at Shoen. "Stefan...?" she whispered.

"Umm, no. I'm not Stefan. I'm Shoen, from Altiaire. You're safe now."

"My lord...Shoen...?" The girl's eyes slid back shut. "Thank...you..."

"Hey! Hey, don't go back to sleep!" Shoen frowned, shaking her again.

"Why...not...?" came her faint voice.

"It's too cold! You can't fall asleep. Just hold on a little while longer. I'll get you back to the castle." Shoen stood up and looking at his soaking wet wings. He couldn't really quite fly like that... He flapped his wings out, shivering slightly at how cold it was. At the same time, he tried wringing the water out of his clothes so he wouldn't be so weighed down by water. He knelt down and picked up the girl carefully, holding her close to him. He tried flapping his damp wings to get them off of the ground. It wasn't too bad and the shore wasn't that far off. "Hold on..."

"...Irea..."

"Hold on, Irea. I'll get you to where you can get warmed up, okay?" Shoen moved towards the shore. Oh, boy... Dad's gonna love this.

So, I was surprised to see how many of you wanted the three-way between Reyson, Mihara, and Ranulf for a little while. Then again, I wasn't, since so many of you wanted a Mireyson... Anyway, it will all begin soon!

On a VERY IMPORTANT note, EGP and I are working on a collaberation story. Anyone want to take a guess as to what it's about? Take a few seconds, then read the next sentence... It is about before Tibarn was king of Phoenics and when he first met Zelena! Sure, it doesn't sound like it's anything that would take very long, but there are many things that are twisted in this story, which will named Successor...! Look further down if you want a hint at what it's about...it will also slightly clear up the confusion you probably have about the flashback where Tibarn was thinking of when he first met Zelena...

Phoenics is a divided country into those of high rank and those that are 'lower class'. Tibarn has an older sister and an older brother. They want to raise a rebellion to stop the persecution of the lower class laguz in Phoenics! Tibarn meets Zelena, who is a 'noble', her three brothers, her general father, and her horrible uncle, the king of the 'upper class'!
