| Hikari: ... How is increasing our powers and abilities going to do anything? We just need to make use of this stupid stick. Farid: Cucco. Hikari: .... Farid: We'd have ta become stronger than a cucco. Hikari: .... Hikari kept quiet. Some sense was finally beaten into her. Farid: And what's this thing you speak of, Feathers? |

| Jack: F- Feathers!? ... Wait a sec... You're not from Outset. *turns to JDavis* Who is this brat? JDavis: Was stowing away on the pirate ship. Pirates dumped him off at the Forbidden Fortress with the rest of us. Been clinging to us like a parasite since then. Jack: Ah. *looks back at Farid* Well you best mind your manners here, snot-face. The Chief's not likely to take kindly to your nonsense. *looks at the group as a whole again* Well, just follow me and I'll explain- Jack turns around to face a large boulder. Jack: -shit. JDavis: I think we all understand shit. Jack: Heh. Anyway, we'll have to take care of this boulder 'fore we go anywhere. *grabs a bomb flower and tosses it at the boulder* Fire in the hole! The bomb flower explodes, destroying the boulder. A railed path leading into an opening in the side of the mountain is revealed. There are a few jars here and there along the railing, as well as another postman. Jack: Much better. Now, where was I? JDavis: Explaining shit. Jack: Ah, right. I'm sure you've all noticed the dragon atop the mountain? Well, volcano, but, whatever. That's Valoo. He's been having some tantrums recently, who knows why, and it's kind of messing with our way of life here. Besides the obvious noise pollution problem, there's the bit about the scales... JDavis: Scales? Jack: You see, us Rito aren't all born with wings. And those that are typically have underdeveloped ones. By obtaining a scale from Valoo, we are able to either grow wings or allow the wings we already have to grow to a usable size. This is usually done when a kid comes of age.. About you'se guys' age. As it just so happens, the Chief's son, Glenn, is of that age. Glenn's sort of a timid kid to begin with, not like his father at all in that regard  , and this business with Valoo and not being able to get his wings has only worsened things. All of us Rito already know about you all and your problems, you kind of hear all sorts of gossip and such in our occupation, and the Chief was saying that he'd like for you to hang out with his son, in hopes that your courage and what-not might rub off on the boy. Personally, I think it's going to take a lot more than that- Hey, Bob.The other postman: Hey, Jack. Jack: A lot more than that to get the kid to toughen up, but what do I know? JDavis: Shit. Jack: Yeah, which at least puts me ahead of all the folks out there that don't know shit. Anyway, to be completely honest, you may have to end up finding out what's wrong with Valoo yourselves and taking care of it. Compared to taking on that overgrown bluebird, it shouldn't be any trouble. Everyone stopped walking, as they had reached the entrance. Jack: Well, here we are. You all ready to meet the Chief and such? (edited by JDavis on 06-28-05 10:32 PM) |

| Hikari: Of course we're ready. It's not like we've got anything else better to do. Farid: There's sleeping. Hikari: Lazy bum. Farid: And constantly complaining about everything Hikari: I'm trying to save my sister here. Farid: But ye don't have to be so stuck up about it. Hikari: *snorts* Where's that chief at? |

They entered the opening to find themselves in an enormous, cavernous room. There was a path spiraling upwards around the wall, and plenty of doors. There were also plenty crates of mail, and a large number of Rito. In the middle of the room, there was a large pattern on the ground, and the Chief stood in the middle of it, speaking with another Rito. The Chief, like Jack, had a fake beak and wings that protruded from his back (though his were more bat-like than bird-like), whereas all the other Rito had real beaks and their wings came out of their arms when they needed them.  Chief Draco: Well? Have you found the cause of Valoo's distress?Messenger: I'm afraid not, sir... Chief Draco: Well don't waste my time with nothing! Messenger: Yes, sir. *flies off* Chief Draco: *spots everyone entering the room* Ah, so these must be the kids from Outset. Jack: Yep, they just arrived. Chief Draco: I know all about your perils, of course. A troubling tale, indeed... Jack: *ahem* Chief Draco: Oh, right, and if there's anything we can do to help you, just let us know. However, right now, we've got our own problems to deal with. Jack: I've already informed them. Chief Draco: Ah, well, that's good. Saves me the trouble. Say, how would you kids like to hang out with a Prince? That'd be pretty cool, eh? Pretty hip? Pretty 'all that and a bag of nachos'? Jack: I've already informed them of that part of the problem as well  They've agreed to hang out with Prince Glenn. Or at least, I think they have. They didn't really so "no" or anything, at least.Chief Draco: It's settled, then. Jack: I'll have Fem show them to Glenn's chamber. Chief Draco: Yes, good idea. Jack: Fem! A girl about our heroes' age flew down from one of the upper levels of the cavern. Like Jack and the Chief, she had wings protruding from her back and a fake beak. Her wings, however, were covered in purple feathers.  Fem: Yes?Jack: This is my daughter, Fem. She's studying to be the great Valoo's attendant. Fem, these are the kids from Outset. Fem: Pleased to meet you!  JDavis was suddenly standing right next to Fem, leaning against a conveniently placed crate. JDavis: The pleasure is all mine. Tell me, what is a lovely girl such as yourself doing in a post office like this? Fem: Er.. *sweatdrop* Jack: ... Fem, please show our guests to Prince Glenn's chamber, the Chief wishes for them to... "hang out" Chief Draco: Oh, and while you're at it, give Glenn this note. *hands Fem an envelope* Fem: Sure thing. And with that, Jack and Chief Draco went off to go about their business. Fem: So... Just follow me, then. |

| Farid: Man.. Ye got a fancy place for livin', there. A surefire job, and an island to yerselves.... Hikari finally noticed the oddities between Jack, Chief Draco, and Fem and the rest of the Ritos. The little, round girl was feeling a bit apprehensive but.. Hikari: Hey.. Um.. Fem? Why do you guys have... Er.. I mean... About the... Farid: Hey hey hey! Could we take Glenn ta the dragon? 'Tis a way ta be hangin' out, savy? Hikari: *dull look* I don't know why, but seeing you this motivated over helping someone seems out of character for you. Farid: Ah, y'dunno me very well! I do these kind of things all the time! Hikari: Sure. Sure. *looks over at JDavis and grins* What's with acting so cool, Mr. Smooth? |

| Jarukoth is not even listening to any of JDavis' exploits. He is too busy admiring the Ritos surrounding him. He had never seen anything quite like them before, and ca't help but stare a bit at the unusual creatures... It isn't until he looks back up that he sees his other traveling companions a good distance ahead of him... Jarukoth: "Oh crap! Not again!" He rushes back along side his comrades, eager to not miss anything else interesting in this new place... |

| The group had gone down a small flight of stairs and had reached the door at the end of a short hall when Fem stopped and faced everyone. Fem: Please don't get offended by Glenn's manner... He's been through a lot lately. With that, she opened the door. Our heroes found themselves in a relatively average-sized room. There was a large rug on the floor, a couple of shelves with clothes and toys on them, and in one corner there was a bed. Lying on the bed was a boy about a year younger than Fem. He had blondish-brown hair that hung loosely around his head, and, like his father, had a large gold amulet of some sort hanging around his neck. He also had a fake beak, and wings that were similar to Jack's... but nowhere near as big. In fact, his wings looked more of a size you'd expect to find on a seagull or cucco. He didn't seem to notice everyone entering his room, as he was staring intently at what looked like a huge orange pearl. Fem: *ahem* Prince Glenn. Prince Glenn: Huh? *sits up* What's all this? Fem: These are the children from Outset who we've all heard about. Prince Glenn: Good for them. Fem: *sigh* Your father thought that you might want to meet them and- Prince Glenn: Well he thought wrong. Fem: *through her teeth* He also wanted me to give you this letter. *hands the letter to Glenn* Prince Glenn: A letter? *opens it up and reads* Oh, sure, telling me to be brave is easy enough for him. It's not like he's the one that went through... that. It's not like he still has to get a scale from Valoo. *looks at out heroes* You're in this letter, too, you know. Poking your noses in other people's business, eh? (edited by JDavis on 06-29-05 03:55 PM) |

| Hikari: Hey, listen here, you little jerk. I'm trying to save my sister, and I wound up getting stuck on a sidequest to help you out. Be glad that you're being helped. Farid: Whoa whoa! Yer a lot less friendly than I thought ye were. Hikari looked off to the side. She paused for a moment before speaking again. Hikari: I'm just... really irritated by what's been going on... And you're not helping, pirate boy. She gives a little sigh and looks at Glenn. Hikari: Look, there's a bunch of us here. Whatever bad thing that happened probably won't happen again since we're all here. And if worse comes to worse, we'll just give the dragon a smacking just to set him right. *nod nod* |

| Prince Glenn: Sorry, but I really don't feel like going to see Valoo right now. I mean, how am I supposed to get a scale from him when he's so upset? And you think you can calm Valoo down!? Psssssh! What a load! Fem: Please, Prince... Prince Glenn: I'm done talking with you. Now, please leave. The group shuffled out of Glenn's room, and Fem shut the door. Fem: I'm really sorry about all this... You see, his grandmother... Valoo's former attendant.. She passed away just recently. She was a strong and courageous woman, and I was honored to have her as my teacher. If only I was more like her... JDavis: I.. *reaches as if to rest a supportive hand on Fem's shoulder, but stops short, unsure of how she take it* Fem: I'm sorry to have to ask you all this, but I need your help! Could you please come with me to Dragon Roost Cavern? I may only know some of the Great Valoo's language, but it should be enough for me to find out what's wrong with him, but I'll need to climb to the top of Dragon Roost to do so.

| Farid: Dragon Roost Cavern? Why of course! I don't know about me group here, but I'd love to go. Er, help out. Hikari: ... It's not like I've got anything else better to do. And I can take a wild guess everyone else agrees. |

| Jarukoth nods to Hikari. Jarukoth: "You guessed right! Of course I'll go! I just so happen to be rather good at climbing things..." |
