Hyrien

Joseph looked furious and pained.He glared at the Rune Fencer girl and shouted; "HE WAS SUPPOSED TO COME WITH ME!!DO YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO SENSE?!!",and groaned as the poison took effect on his consciousness. "He...Was...Me..." Muttered Joseph,swaying over and falling dazily onto grass,his beaten armor clattering.His head rolled to the side as he fainted,blood pouring out of his nose.

Meanwhile,Night was weakly struggling against the man and Annihila.
"Bastards.." He said weakly,his wholly visible face bruised.

The Rune Fencer looked at Joseph. "What did he mean?" She asked the others. The blonde samurai girl looked at Agnes, the Rune Fencer, who was holding Joseph.

"Let's get him to the inn at least." The samurai stated. "It would be best." The Rune Fencer and Onion Knight helped carry him and they proceeded towards the inn. They finally walked in and saw the inn-keep, he saw the wounded boy and told them to just go into the room and let him rest, the town healer would be over in the morning, it was very late, so everyone decided to rest.

Freija and Arekkusu met back with Beatrix and Phoenix and they all decided to head back to the inn until morning came.

The sounds of chirping birds gave signal that the morning sun had risen, it was shining bright on the windows and a beam of light shined right into the room through the open window. Freija woke up and got dressed and ate her bread and cheese for breakfast and headed over to the tavern that doubled as the inn to see if any news popped up. She and Arekkusu walked in and saw the Onion Knight, Rune Fencer, and Samurai sitting at a table. "Hey it's those bounty-hunters, I wonder if they know anything about these people." Freija asked.

"Let's ask, kupo. They are pretty nice people." Arekkusu said and the two walked over to them. Freija pulled up a chair and sat down with them, they were just eating breakfast.

"Hi Cara, hi Agnes and hi Brave." She smiled.

The Onion Knight, Brave, set his fork down and looked up at Freija. "Hello Freija, how are you today?" He asked.

She answered back smiling, "Great, so I have a question."

Cara, the blonde Samurai looked up at her. "Ask away." She stated.

"Do you have any idea on who a ninja might be? Or who Joseph is?" She asked.

Agnes nearly coughed on her bread as she tried to answer. "Ack... We found Joseph last night, they were being chased by that witch, Annihila, who actually was our bounty, but she and some odd man captured the ninja boy. Joseph said something along the lines of "he was helping me" and something else." Agnes replied.

Cara added on, "He also said something cryptic, saying "he was me" which was odd, but he is here in the inn, upstairs resting." She said and picked up her glass of water and drank it.

Freija looked in amazement to this. "That is odd, I wonder what relation those two had, Beatrix, Phoenix, Arekkusu and I were battling them last night in the cellar of the burned down shack, but the ninja escaped along with Joseph, we tried to find them but we couldn't so we gave up until morning."

"I wonder how Joseph is feeling right now... it is still best we leave him be until he wakes up. He seemed pretty beat from all that happened, and a bit burn, so no doubt that Annihila's magic was at work." Brave explained.

"Is an Arcanist that powerful, kupo?" Arekkusu asked, a bit scared.

Brave nodded. "We have heard she has the ability to cast forbidden spells, and it is just brutal. She's been a wanted bounty for quite awhile."

Freija leaned back in her chair. "Wow, all this is happening in Hyrien. I suppose it is an interesting change of pace."

Beatrix and Phoenix were awake as well and walked downstairs and saw Freija at the table with some other people. They walked over. "Mind if we join you?" Beatrix asked, the others didn't seem to care and the two pulled up chairs. "One hell of a night, don't you agree?" Beatrix asked. Freija nodded back to her.

Phoenix set his book on the table. He noticed a flier on the tavern board and walked over and retrieved it and sat back down. It showed a picture of the witch, Annihila. "Wow, look at this." He pointed out and pointed to where it said a bit of history on her under the WANTED label. "Wanted for the death of over 2300 people!" He was shocked at the number. "She is a mass murderer, but it wasn't conducted her on the continent of Aisen, but where? It doesn't say which area it was... odd." He said.

Beatrix looked at the paper. "It says she felled the entire village of Leyair. Her fired ravaged the town in a matter of minutes, this totaled the death toll to 700. Well, what happened to the other 1600?" Beatrix wondered. "No wonder Leyair was in ruins when I traveled through there... insanity, it's a miracle she didn't destroy Hyrien."

"For that we should be relieved." Phoenix said. "So, any news on the ninja and Joseph?" Beatrix was also about to ask the same question. Freija and the bounty hunters also joined in and summed up what had happened.

"I see. I wonder how long he will be out." Beatrix asked. "The town healer is coming soon I imagine if the inn-keep had sent for them."

Joseph woke up soon the next morning,and shadows under his eyes had appeared.He clutched his pained head and crept out of the room,wood thumping in his steps.He sneaked down the stairs,and peered at Freija and the group talking,and muttered;
"Arses." As quietly as he could,and made a run for the door,and sprinted as he got outside.He needed to escape these people,and find Night.He quickly sped on a gravel path,kicking it all back as he ran uncontrollably.He looked back,and tripped,his head hitting the path hard. "Oh-ARGH!" He yelled,stumbling onto his side,and rubbed his head as he tried getting up.

Night's consciousness,meanwhile wherever he was,had disappeared slowly.

Agnes quickly heard the tavern doors wing open violently and heard armor clanging and she got up and grabbed her rapier.
"What's wrong?" Brave asked, looking at Agnes with interest.

"Joseph, I heard his armor clanging, he is trying to escape, but not on my watch!" She said and bolted out the door. Joseph's speed in his armor was now match for Agnes, whose light garb allowed her agility to soar higher than his, she quickly spotted him and she followed him. She readied her rapier and a green aura surrounded her rapier. "Ready to fight!?" She asked, stopped and readied her blade as she caught up to Joseph and stood in his way. "Why are you doing this?"

Brave and Cara sat at the table. "What is up with him? We save his life and he goes escaping... I can guarantee he is after that ninja boy." Brave stated and got up and left his payment for everyone's food. "Let's go." He said and he grabbed his halberd and walked out the door. Cara grabbed her katana and followed him.

"Let's go Arekkusu." Freija said and he hopped onto her shoulder and they followed Brave and Cara. They ran for a bit and saw Agnes in front of Joseph, her rapier drawn.

Cara looked at Joseph. "Don't try anything stupid, boy. She will kick your ass in a heartbeat, there is no point running, she is faster than you, so just stop!" Cara yelled.

Joseph scrambled away fearfully,and drew his blade,holding it tightly as he flashed the side in a block. "Let me go!" He shouted,and stood ready to fight,slashing her on the arm and sprinting off.Grass slipped under his heavy armor as his feet pounded on the ground,air whipping his face.

"SEE YOU THEN!!" He called jokingly,and gashed the ground with his sword as he ran,making places for her to trip,then he pulled the sword out,soil launching into the air.Joseph stumbled slightly as he hit his arm against a tree.

Agnes looked at the wound, "That's nothing." Agnes began glowing with a blue aura.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIVBqSIVcSQ (Agnes' Crisis Trance activated)

"Begone!" She called out "Azure Edge!" She cried and swung her rapier, a large bluish-green wave of energy sped towards Joseph knocking the wind out of him and severely damaging him. Joseph fell and Agnes avoided the traps that were very poorly planned and walked over to him. Cara followed and drew out her katana and pointed to his neck as he was cornered by Agnes, Freija, Brave and Cara.

"I recommend that you stop running and tell us what the hell you're doing." Cara stated and pressed the edge of the sword closer to his neck, one foul move and he would be dead. "You'd be in debt with your life if you tried anything stupid."

Freija looked at Joseph. "What is going on? Why are you doing this? You seemed like a good person, but now, I feel like Beatrix was right when she said a Rune Guardian shouldn't act like this. What happened to the Joseph I spoke to yesterday watching the sunset of Hyrien? You're obviously not him." Freija muttered.

Brave held up his halberd and a white energy sphere surrounded Agnes and then disappeared, her wound completely healed.
"We help you and help cure that poison to the best of our ability and this is the thanks? You're a real dumbass, you should be grateful for what we did to help you, otherwise you'd be dead. What a lowlife you are. Next time, don't be such a dick to anyone."

Cara moved aside her hair and kept her katana firmly nudged against his neck. "Now talk, we want some answers." She said, "Or shall I do something that'll hurt you more than me?"

Freija asked Joseph more questions. "Who was that Ninja and why do you insist on following him?"

"You want answers,do you?" He snarled,and threw his blade to the side. "Fine.I'm doing this because Night is a brother.I thought honor was the most important thing?" He hissed,looking at Freija angrily. "And his name,is Night." He added furiously,and looked back at Agnes. "You wanted answers,I gave you some.Where.Is.He?" He demanded angrily at Agnes.His face was full of hate and fury as his eyes flickered complete blackness that covered them like a demonic cloud. Wind blew his face,and he cleared some sweat from his hands onto his armor.
"Whatever threat you make,WON'T work.I'm loyal to myself." He said,and his eyes slightly widened.."Oh shit!" He whispered fearfully.

The town was lively, and Roshia was ready to go get some jobs done.
she skipped along the road until she reached her stop.
looking eagerly into the window to see if anyone was in, she pulled the door open and hop inside the building.

" heyyyyy ricky!"

she waved to the man behind a counter, as he placed paperwork down and waved back.
" hey kiddo"

he let out tiredly, he was a 45 year old man, and he was getting on in years.
" gawww Rick i am NOT A KID! im 20 for gods sake"

she jumps onto the chair twirling around in it.
" got any new ones today?" she asked cheerfully as she leaned into the desk with her hands on her chin

the man let out a low moan, as he look towards her.
" Roshia......you can't take these jobs your young, and inexperienced.
these jobs are for the squires expiring to be young knights, or soldiers.

Roshia let out a sigh
" i knowwwwwwww but i need the money rick, so dose Midnight.......besides i assist them.
think about it like this less criminals for them, i do the easy stuff.
they can do the hard stuff....Ahem....so they can prove there worth."

rick rolled his eyes
" alright im only giving you one more and that's it, my job is on the line here."

she clapped excited and snatched the paper
" thanks rick i'll be back for my reward later, with Midnight so have some tuna for him."

she skipped out the door, while rick takes a seat sighing as he once again starts to work.

Beatrix and Phoenix noticed the strangely happy girl walk in and grab a slip of paper. "Do you suppose she is one of those bounty-hunters?" Phoenix asked picking up his tome and getting ready to leave.

"She could be, shall we go see who she is?" Beatrix asked. "It wouldn't hurt, besides, she seems like a interesting character."

Phoenix nodded and they both left the inn and saw the girl walking down the path, she was near the item shop, so they followed her there. They stopped as she was near some merchandise stand. "Excuse me?" Beatrix asked the girl. "I was in the tavern when you came in and grabbed a slip of paper from the inn-keep. Was that a 'wanted' poster?"

Phoenix stood by the stand, looking at some items to buy while Beatrix did the talking. He noticed a girl with blonde hair, she must've worked at the stand, but she seemed very bored with her current state. "Hello there." He smiled.

The girl perked up as if she hadn't heard a voice in ages. "Oh, hi there." She smiled back. "How are you today?" She asked kindly, her words like the whisper of an angel to Phoenix.

"I am good, I am Phoenix Ashdown, and you are?" He introduced.

"My name is Raine." She answered back, blushing at the handsome, charming man. "It is a pleasure to meet you."

"Same to you." Phoenix bowed as he said that. "You seem to be in a rut here."

Raine sighed. "Yes, I am... it is very boring here at this item stand, nobody really comes and my boss is getting tired of keeping it open, the only reason I work here is because the boss is my grandpa, and this is his only means of income."

Phoenix listened to her story. "I see, these items seem to be sold in almost every store I've been to across Aisen."

Raine nodded. "Yes, I volunteered to go out and explore and find some rare materials, and my grandfather approved, but I haven't worked up the courage to leave here, mostly because I fear I wouldn't be strong enough to handle the monsters outside."

Phoenix perked up. "Why not join us!" He exclaimed. Raine was surprised at this reaction. "My friend Beatrix and I are traveling, why not come with? She is always saying she would love to have people join her, it helps her search go quicker."

"Well, I wouldn't be a burden would I, Phoenix?" She asked.

"Not at all, now, let's go tell your grandpa about this." He responded.

Raine got up and smiled. "I shall go tell him immediately." She smiled and ran back to the house behind the stand.

Joseph rubbed his pained face,and just muttered; "I don't need help.I can find him on my own." With a tone of great annoyance,standing up and answered their questions hurriedly.
"I've spoken what I did." He growled,"He's a Ninja.That's all I know." And he got up,slightly tripping over a stray branch.Joseph walked back to the tavern angrily as his feet crushed plants underneath.A few trees waved to the side as he walked,and some dark clouds hovered overhead,flickering with a strange light.

Joseph unsheathed his blade in the tavern,glaring at anyone nearby as they flinched away.He groaned as he entered his room,banging the door shut and slumped down.

"Just how do I escape?" He said in exasparation,clutching his head in frustration.

Meanwhile,Night was struggling against a tight bind. "Let me go,you witch!" He hissed angrily.

Freija and the bounty hunters stood and watched him go to the tavern. Cara was the first to point out his quick temper. "Somebody seems very ungrateful for this." She said. "Next time he pisses me off, that armor will be nothing but scrap metal." She then proceeded to go towards the item stand where Phoenix and Beatrix were.

Agnes walked up Freija. "Maybe he is haunted by a terrible past, but with an attitude like that, I feel like he will be in danger." She then left back to the inn.

Brave looked at the sunny sky. "Well, I wish I could join you, but we have a job to do, but good luck with quest, may our paths cross again soon, and you take care of her you hear me Arekkusu." He smiled as he patted Arekkusu's head.

Freija smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I hope to see you all again soon. Thanks Brave for that." She stated, brushing her silver hair out of her eyes. He just smiled and walked with Agnes.

Arekkusu waved goodbye to Brave and Agnes. "I will kupo!" He shouted.

"Well Arekkusu, let's go see Beatrix." Freija said and the two walked back to the merchant stand.


In the tavern a girl with a jacket and blue pants sat the bar near Joseph. "I couldn't help but overhear your dilemma." She smirked and set down her glass. "Are you running away from someone?" She asked.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPX7EvDMOuc (The Mysterious Girl's theme)

skipping merrily down the road, Roshia found Midnight eating from a trash can

" Midnight, after this we will have food just hold on buddy."

she smiled as Midnight immediately perked up at the word food.
Midnight jump down, and followed along with his owner.
Roshia was about to scold her feline friend, about eating from the trash.
when she stopped two strange looking people, she ducked into a bush and peeked out.

" pshhh Midnight, they aren't from around here, i wonder where they are traveling from?"

Midnight let out a vicious hiss, his tail fattened and he had the look of a wild wolf in his eyes.

"Midnight! whar is your problem?"

Roshia didn't overlook her furry pal's behavior, he wouldn't be acting this way for nothing.
She deiced to follow the group carefully, Midnight by her side.

Roshia held up behind a tree.
" that was close midnight she almost saw us,.....uh midnight?"

she swung her head around, but her little buddy was no where to be found.
normaly she would assume he went off to find food or kill a bird.

" MIDNIGHT!"
she looked around until she got a idea, and stopped dead in her tracks.
" oh i bet.....that little punk!"

she let out as she sprinted out of the woods.
she had a idea of where he traveled off to, he probably followed that girl from earlier.
Roshia spotted the woman, but now she was back with her group.

" HEY YOU!" she let out, gasping as she tiredly walked over to her.

Beatrix and Phoenix met Freija and Arekkusu over at stand. "I'd like you to meet Raine." Beatrix said as she introduced Raine to Freija and Arekkusu.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you." She smiled and shook Freija's hand and Freija smiled. "Aww what a cute Moogle." She laughed as she looked at Arekkusu and rubbed his little belly, to which he giggled. "He is adorable, I am jealous of you." Raine laughed and fell in love with the Moogle instantly.

Phoenix looked at Freija and Arekkusu. "So are you planning on leaving Hyrien today and heading towards Bisga?" He asked.

Beatrix was intrigued by this too. "We still want to accompany you on your quest, as it will potentially help us... well me with finding the Royals."

Phoenix looked at Beatrix. "We'll all help out. It is a hard journey for one person." Beatrix then smiled. She turned around and saw a girl running towards a cat near Beatrix. "It's that girl!" She reacted.

Freija nodded to Beatrix. "Yes, I am going to leave today. We are prepared, we just bought some potions and are ready to go."

Arekkusu took a liking to Raine and began to play around with her. "Kupo kupo!" He giggled as he flew around in circles as Raine tried to catch him. "Kupo, this is fun, kupo!" He said and she caught him and held him and they both laughed.

Freija checked her pack. "I think I got everything I need." She said and checked her rapier. "Well, if you want to go, I will be at the gate waiting for you." She said. "Arekkusu, you ready?"

The moogle looked at Raine. "I have to go Kupo, I hope you come along, kupo." He said and flew over to Freija and they both walked over towards the gate to Bisga.

Cara was overlooking the display for items that interested her. "What to buy, what to buy." She muttered. Cara then noticed the girl chasing her cat. Cara picked up the cat and held it. "Are you lost?" She asked the cat and saw the girl. "Is this your cat?" She asked and handed the cat over to the girl. She appeared to be a Bard due to her bow. "Seems a bit tense, is your cat okay?" She wondered.

Agnes and Brave headed over to Cara. "We are going to head to Lake Shear, perhaps there might be something there."

Cara nodded in response. "Okay, I am ready."

Roshia sprinted over to the woman holding Midnight.
"hhh........hu...yeah he's fine he's just a little drama queen."
she glared down at Midnight with a bit of frustration in her voice.
could these people be bad? they certainly didn't look it, but Midnight wouldn't...
Maby it wasn't from them, Maby its something on them or around them.
she kept thinking of possibilities for his behavior, he never acts like that.
Even if he was being dramatic....hissing? no,he NEVER hisses like that.

what ever it was, curiosity certainly took over Roshia's good judgement.
Its probably nothing she thought, i mean look at them they seem alright to me.
Midnight let out small growls and grunts of annoyance,he didn't like being picked up or held for too long.
he quickly bit her hand and jumped down.
" YOU LITTLE BRAT!"

Roshia roared out as she smacked the back of his head.
Midnight grunted as he sat in a defiant matter opposite of her.
"....pouting little.....wait!"
she froze and quickly dug her hands into her pocket searching for something.

" ahaa!....." she let out as she pulled out a sheet of paper.
written on it was a bounty, and description of the job.
despite rick's warnings, Roshia had snuck a level S job from him before she left.
she had never done one before, but she always liked to push herself to gain new strengths.
she looked over at the woman, who was heading over to her comrades.
did they say they are headed towards Lake Shear? isn't that on the way to bisga?
she thought to herself, as she quickly scooped up Midnight and ran after them.


Midnight didn't like this and instantly squirmed around, letting out grunts and groans of discomfort.
" hhh hey!"
she yelled out as she approached the group.
" i heard your headed towards the lake? i am on my way to bisga for a job, and well company never hurt anyone"
Midnight interrupted with a angry hiss.
" shut up midnight!"
she scolded him to stay silent, as she looked back up at them.
" would you mind if i tagged along?"

Roshia sprinted over to the woman holding Midnight.
"hhh........hu...yeah he's fine he's just a little drama queen."
she glared down at Midnight with a bit of frustration in her voice.
could these people be bad? they certainly didn't look it, but Midnight wouldn't...
Maby it wasn't from them, Maby its something on them or around them.
she kept thinking of possibilities for his behavior, he never acts like that.

Roshia roared out as she smacked the back of his head.

" i heard your headed towards the lake? i am on my way to bisga for a job, and well company never hurt anyone"
Midnight interrupted with a angry hiss.
" shut up midnight!"
she scolded him to stay silent, as she looked back up at them.
" would you mind if i tagged along?"

Joseph looked up,slightly confused."Wh-Oh,yes,I am in fact.Won't take their eyes off me..If you could help me somehow,I'd be forever in your debt.Then comes the problem of escaping..." He muttered,a skeptical expression and he was trying as hard as he could not to look at her too much.But his eyes turned to a gaze..

"Who are you though?Apart from a pretty face,but I'd like to know the name of my..In this moment,heroine." He asked her,a small smile appearing.He glanced shortly at the setting sun outside,his armor shining despite it's beaten shape and scratches.He sheathed his sword,looking back at her.Voices in the bar were much quiter,and suspicion loomed.

I've been thrown into a war,people after me,a Ninja with me and now this woman.I need to run away and find solace and true justice,otherwise hell will come upon Eden..

Cara looked at Roshia. "I am headed to Lake Shear. It is bordering the merchant trade-city of Bisga. I suppose you can join us if you want to." Cara smiled and looked at the cat. "That cat sure seems odd, are you sure he's okay?" She asked.

Brave then saw Cara talking to Roshia. "Why hello m'lady." He bowed and saw Roshia holding a cat and saw the reactions of the cat. "My my, that cat seems a bit whacked today... not to be mean, but has it eaten anything?"

Cara then saw the paper. "Woah, a Class S bounty!?" Cara was shocked. "Are you crazy! Class S, we barely do Class S, we are still A and we are good bounty-hunters." She viewed the paper. "This is for a man named, Lionel, the Arch Carrier... It doesn't say much, oh wait, here it is... Wanted for experiments performed on humans... Geez, I've never heard of you before, taking a class S is risky, unless you can handle it. Anyways, the main point is if you want to join us, you can."

Freija looked at Beatrix and then walked over to Roshia. "I am heading to Bisga too, but we are leaving now... Cara, Brave, weren't you leaving later?"

Brave nodded. "Yeah, miss, if you wish to get a head start to Bisga, I suggest going with Freija here, she is leaving soon, we have some business to finish here, it is your choice."


The girl looked Joseph. "Man, you're in one hell of a bind aren't you?" She stretched and looked at his face and then stood up. "I am Arianna Terrador. A Geomancer from the town of Shear. I am here visiting for awhile and practicing my geomancy skills." She then quieted to a whisper. "I can take you to Bisga, but that's as far as I can take you for awhile. If you like I can take you there now, I was just getting ready to go there." She said.

Roshia gave a friendly smile, its been awhile since she grouped with anyone.
she had been traveling for so long, it felt unreal to stop for conversation anymore.
" he.....well foods tight for us, we travel a lot so....he doesn't get to eat unless he kills, or i manage to buy food for both of us."
she let out a sigh, she was talking way too fast.
" actually sometimes i'll give him whats available, and go hungry myself...but he did eat something out of the trash."

Roshia held Midnight tight she didn't want him running off.
she didn't know what his deal was,but she wasn't one to judge a book by its cover.
they didn't give off any sign of distrust, and they greeted her warmly so she deiced to ignore Midnight's behavior.
Midnight seemed to have calmed down a bit, once food was mentioned.
" well....i have a B class job but the money is never enough besides, im a good shot!"

she winked as she made a gesture with her hands, as if she was shooting something.
" i wouldn't mid being delayed, if you need a hand? if not then i'll travel with this Freija person as you suggested."

she spotted the woman from before and approached her.
" hey are you miss freija?"
she ask as she tilted her head, Midnight did the same with his head

Cara looked at Roshia. "We don't it's some business we have to go over with the proprietor of the tavern about our job. It could take awhile, so I suggest going with Freija and her group." Cara smiled and punched Freija lightly. "You all be safe, maybe we'll cross paths in Bisga." She said and walked off with Brave to the tavern where Agnes was.

Freija looked at Midnight, he seemed to have calmed down from before. "It's nice to meet you. I am Freija, and this little moogle here, is Arekkusu." She said, turning her head to look at Arekkusu who was sitting on her shoulder like always.

Arekkusu flew off and just floated lazily in the air. "It's nice to meet you, kupo." He said, bowing his head, his pom-pom wobbling like crazy. "Now Midnight, don't try to claw at my pom-pom, it's not yarn, kupo!" He said, trying to hide his pom-pom."

Freija just laughed. "Well if you are ready to go, we can head out, but this is Beatrix, Phoenix, and..." She stuttered a bit. "Oh yeah, Raine... sorry I just met you so I have to remember your name from now on." She laughed. Raine just smiled and looked at her like it was fine. "Well, what is your name?"

Roshia glared down at Midnight, making sure he didn't eye this moogle as food.
" be good or i'll slap you bro.."

she places Midnight on the ground, he just sat looking up at the moogle.
" my name is Roshia,...its nice to mean you Freija and gang"

her eyes caught sight of Raine, and she stutter as she recognized her.
"...WHOA! Raine?....aren't you that girl always going in and out of Ricky's place?"

she eyed the girl, if she was correct and most of the time she was, this girl took class B jobs.
Midnight licked his lips, his eye contact didn't break with the moogle.
Roshia glared down as she nonchalantly kicked him in the ass, to get him to behave.

she cleared her trout, as she try a proper introduction of herself.
".. oh yeah, im not trust a guest if you guys need help you can count on me to jump in."
she gave a thumbs up, as if she was the coolest kid on the bus.

Freija smiled. "Great to have you on board." She picked up Arekkusu and put him back on her shoulder. "Hopefully you have everything you need?" She asked.

Arekkusu sat on her shoulder calmly and waited patiently. "Kupo, let's go!" He cried. "Let's go Freija, I am so excited to see Bisga."
He tugged at her shoulder and whined a bit as he was a young moogle and acted like a child often, but he was very mature.

Freija poked his nose which made him flinch a bit but he giggled. "Alright already." She said. "Alright, I guess we'll be going." She smiled and the small band of people began to set out from Hyrien and into the world. The sun in the sky shined bright, almost leading a bright trail for them to follow and set out on a journey... a journey that would lead to many friendships and challenges ahead. What would lie ahead in Bisga?

End of Chapter I

Chapter II: Leaving What We Love
Freija and the group were proceeding through the plains of Hyrien and were almost to Bisga, perhaps an hour until they finally reached the merchant city. "I can't wait to see the Wildlands, I hear they are absolutely beautiful." Freija smiled.

"Alright.Let's go then." Decided Joseph,standing up to walk out of the tavern,and prompted Arianna to follow. "Oh and the name's Joseph Vallarnus." He added,looking quite suspiciously at her.
Why is she helping me? He thought,and shifted a plate of beaten metal on his armor as he did so.

Joseph had not been expecting such a..Well,rescue.He thought himself lucky,although bad luck played a factor in getting him here,in this position.He looked around for Fangs,and saw the large lizard scampering to his side.
"Oh and this is Fangs." He also said,picking Fangs up as he hissed in fear as he whipped through the air.
