Hi Minna. Woke up not feeling all that great. But today’s the last day I can see my Imouto-chan and I’m not about to pass it up. I haven’t felt good since Sunday evening really but then again that’s life and you can’t do much about it. So today I’m going to Chibi’s and then tonight’s church. Yay. I normally like going to church but when I’m feeling like this it’s not a pleasure. I used to not like the Wednesday night service, but I started going to the Adults Class and since then it’s been ok. They had an 18+ class but I’ve gotten sick of their classes really. I like to hear our preacher preach and teach though. Unless medication’s got me zoning out. Oh well. I probably won’t be on tonight but I can always try. But I’ve got to go get ready and clean house before I can go to Chibi’s. I’ve already loaded the dishwasher. The only things I can think of that need to be done after that are maybe vacuuming and sweeping and washing the clothes. But that never really takes long for me. Oh, I’m posting the next chapter of the EQ stories up and check out the new stuff at the end. I’ll try to write in here later Minna. Ja.

Chapter 6
::West Freeport::
Bijo panted as she sat down for a rest. She'd just got through killing an Orc Pawn. It wasn't really hard work…until the other Orc pawn attacked her from behind. Then there was the stone snake. She hated snakes. She hated them just about as much as she could hate anything she could think of. They were vile, disgusting, slithering, creatures…oh…there's one now. With that Bijo jumped up and attacked the unfortunate stone snake that had just passed her.
"Well, ladies we're almost there." Sharich announced as they neared Freeport.
"Thanks again for your help, Sharich. It probably wouldn't have been as easy going without you." Tenrai said.
"And I know it wouldn't have been half as fun." Shenna chuckled. Sharich shook his head. Weather he'd admit it or not, the journey had been fun for him as well. It was better than traveling with Xellia.
"Well then," he said with that thought in mind, "let's hurry up and get you ladies there."
Vicari bent down and felt the ground. There were tracks here. Someone had passed through before them. It didn't really surprise her. People often traveled to Freeport. From the tracks, it seemed like a Barbarian woman, wearing all leather armor; a half elf also female; and a wood elf, male would be her guess. Vicari guessed they were about five hours ahead of them.
"What is it Vic?" Idlewild asked. She had giving Vicari the pet name Vic.
"Tracksss. Three travelerssss." Vicari hissed. She told them her suspicion and watched as Xellia turned boiled lobster red.
"I'm willing to bet anything it's Sharich. And he's trying to get ahead of me before I get home!"
"Ssssharich?" Vicari all but hissed out.
"A beast of a traveling companion. He follows me around everywhere and torments me to no end with his mere presence." Xellia huffed.
"Hmm." Idlewild said looking closely at the other tracks. "And you say those are from a barbarian woman and a half elf woman?" She asked Vicari. Vicari nodded.
"The barbarian's foot print is heavy and wide, not like a male barbarian's just like she's wearing lots of leather and carrying many bags. The half elf's feet are small and the indention is slight, leaving me to believe it was made by a female."
"I'd bet my spell book that would be Tenrai and that barbarian woman that usually hunts with her, Shenna I believe. Tenrai must've realized what time of year it was...and is off to visit Bijo herself."
"Isss thisss a bad thing?" Vicari asked.
"Not necessarily. Just something I didn't think of. No matter, let's push on."
"I'll never get away from him." Xellia groaned.
Bijo stood and whipped the sweat off her brow. She turned and looked back at the gates to the city. It had been a long day, and she deserved a rest. Before she could take one step towards the city, she found her body jerk as red shimmer surrounded her. A look over her shoulder had confirmed her worst fears. An Orc apprentice was behind her casting spells on her. With this knowledge Bijo did the only thing she'd ever thought to do, she ran. Ran straight for the gates. She would've fought him but she had one tiny problem with Orc apprentices. They could, and often did, cast darkness spells on her. She loved her ability to see and for this reason just turned and ran for the guards when one attacked her. And it happened a lot. She was close to the gates; she could hear the Orc behind her, when she heard him grunt as if he'd been hit. She glanced over her shoulder to see a barbarian woman fighting the Orc and Tenrai beside her with a wood elf. Well, whoever was with Tenrai, she wasn't about to leave her friend and her companions to deal with the Orc by themselves. She calmed herself down and casts the strike spell she knew so well. Direct hit. With all four of them on the job, it only took a matter of seconds for the Orc to topple over. Bijo jumped and shouted for joy.
"Why were you running?" The barbarian asked without looking at Bijo.
"Well...those things can cast darkness on you and I myself don't really like it." Bijo explained timidly.
"I know." The barbarian said turning around blinking. "Can't see a thing."
"Shenna!" Tenrai yelped.
"Oh don't worry it doesn't last that long. Besides we can help you around." Bijo said.
"Good." Shenna said, stretching her hand out to feel around her. Tenrai too it and guided her.
"Come, I'll take you to my home." Bijo said with a smile.
::A Few Hours Later::
"That was good stuff, Bijo. You ever thought of opening a restaurant?" Shenna asked after whipping her mouth with a napkin.
"Well, sometimes I do trade to other travelers and adventurers. But I don't intend to just settle down right away." Bijo announced.
"You want to see the world?" Sharich asked.
"I can start with the continent. I've always wanted to explore more of Antonica. At least in the North, East and West directions. I don't think Clerics are welcomed in the South." Tenrai nodded.
"You two make me laugh." Shenna announced.
"Why's that?" Tenrai asked.
"You're so afraid to go South just because you don't want to go to Oggok or Grob. Yet, you forget that right here in East Antonica lies Neriak. And I'd wager the Dark Elves to be far more evil than the Ogres and Trolls."
"Why's that?" Sharich asked.
"Well, I've never met either a troll a ogre or a dark elf, mind you, but from what I hear Ogres and Trolls are dumber than dirt. Dark Elves are smart and evil. That would be a problem."
"True, but I think you could stand up against a Dark Elf. An Ogre...that might take some practice." Tenrai said.
"Yes, I suppose you're right. But still, you can set foot onto the Feerott or Southern Ro without ever seeing a troll or ogre. And if you do meet one you take things slow. I mean they can't be too unreasonable. I'd say a Dark Elf would be a worse opponent any day."
"There you might be mistaken. I've met a rather pleasant lady Dark elf and she was quite the goody two shoes." A voice murmured from the window. Everyone looked over to see a purple hooded figure. The woman removed her hood revealing she was indeed Idlewild. She looked directly at Bijo.
"May I come in?" Bijo smiled.
"Of course." Idlewild walked in with Xellia trailing behind. "Who is your friend, sister?"
"My guide here. I've paid her but she insisted on seeing me here. Ever so kind of her."
"I also came to beat up Sharich." Xellia said glaring at Sharich, willing him to burst into flames or something, as long as he was gone.
"Me!? What did I do? " Sharich asked.
"You came here you idiot man! I told you I wanted to go home and away from you!"
"Well, sor-ry. I just happened to bump into these lovelies who needed my assistance. "
"Oh, please, we both know that's only half the reason why you're here!"
"Do you children mind! We've sorta got other people in this room." Shenna said above them. She'd always had a big mouth. And upon hearing it, both Sharich and Xellia quieted down.
"How've you been?" Bijo asked Idlewild.
"Fair. You?"
"All right I suppose. I worry about you. Being so far away. But you always had your independence. And it's good that you make your own way out in the world now."
"Same for you. You've been out from under Father's wing for a long while now."
"Yes. How's Qeynos?"
"Terrible. Green but terrible." Bijo chuckled.
"The devout pessimist as usual."
"You have a problem with that?"
"No, Idlewild...I wouldn't change you for the world..." Idlewild smiled, truly smiled.
"Likewise."
"Will you stay over night?"
"You have guest already..."
"We were just leaving." Shenna said. "So Xellia was it? Nice name, very pretty. You live here?"
"Uh...well yes..."
"Good. You think you could put us up for the night?"
"Um...well yeah that'd be no problem I suppose. The more the merrier."
"I'll remind you of that later." Sharich said with a grin.
"Who said you could come along?" Xellia huffed.
"Oh, you're just going to let me sleep in the streets?"
"Of course. You think I'd let you dirty my home with your filth?!"
"Come on children." Shenna said ushering everyone out the door.
"See you tomorrow maybe, Bijo." Tenrai said as they shut the door. Xellia and Sharich could still be heard arguing in the streets even as the door was shut.
"Lively bunch." Idlewild commented.
"Yeah. Shenna's not so bad. She took a darkness spell from an Orc Apprentice without even blinking...no pun intended." Bijo replied.
"Yes, she did come across to me as the sort of person that was easy to get along with."
"Well, shall we bed down for the night? You can have father's bed if you wish."
"No I'll take our old room."
"The bed's all made up and everything."
"Were you expecting me?"
"No, this is a nice surprise. But I usually keep it up...just in case I get lucky." Bijo said with a smile.
"Sister, you have the strangest sense of what lucky is." Idlewild said matching her sister's smile.
::Scene 3, take 1::
Vicari bent down and felt the ground. There were tracks here. Someone had passed through before them. It didn't really surprise her. People often traveled to Freeport. From the tracks, it seemed like a Barbarian woman, wearing all leather armor; a half elf also female; and a wood elf, male would be her guess. Vicari guessed they were about five hours ahead of them.
"Whats up Doc?" Idlewild asked. Xellia burst into chuckles. Vicari paused for a moment then put a finger to her lips
"Sssssshhh," she hissed out "be vewy vewy quiet. I'm huntin wabbits. Huhuhuhuhu." More chuckles resounded.
"What's up doc?" Shenna asks coming on screne.
"I'm sorry. I forgot my line and it was the first thing I thought of." Idlewild replied with a chuckel.
"Man, talk about brain in the gutter!"
::Scene 4, take 5::
Bijo stood and whipped the sweat off her brow. She turned and looked back at the gates to the city. It had been a long day, and she deserved a rest. Before she could take one step towards the city, she found her she couldn't move.
"You idiot! You weren't supposed to cast a root spell!" she shrieks. The Orc apprentice walks up to her.
"Whoops...Um sorry." The Orc says.
"Aw man...how long am I gonna be stuck here?" Bijo asks.
"I'm an actor not a machine." The Orc points out.
::Scene 5, take 2::
"That was good stuff, Bijo. You ever thought of opening a restaurant?" Shenna asked after whipping her mouth with a napkin.
"Well, sometimes I do trade to other travelers and adventurers. But I don't intend to just settle down right away." Bijo announced.
"You want to see the world?" Sharich asked.
"I can start with the continent. I've always wanted to explore more of Antonica. At least in the North, East and West directions. I don't think Clerics are welcomed in the South." Tenrai nodded.
"You two make me laugh." Shenna announced.
"Why's that?" Tenrai asked. Shenna paused for a moment.
"Why is that?" she asked the air, causing everyone to chuckle.
"You don't even know do you?" Sharich asks accusingly. Shenna sighs and shakes her head while Tenrai pats her head.
::Scene 5, take 3::
"My guide here." Idlewild said motioning to Xellia."I've paid her but she insisted on seeing me here. Ever so kind of her."
"I also came to beat up Sharich." Xellia said glaring at Sharich, willing him to burst into flames or something, as long as he was gone.
"Oh honey you missed me!" Sharich gushed opening his arms as if Xellia would run into them.
"You weren't supposed to say that!" Xellia yells. Idlewild sighs and just walks out towing Xellia behind her.
"This is never gonna stop." Shenna says to Bijo.
::Scene 5, take 4::
"May I come in?" Bijo smiled.
"Of course." Idlewild walked in with Xellia trailing behind.
"Wassup?" Bijo asks. Xellia looks at her puzzeled.
"WASSSUP?!" Idlewild shouts back.
"CUT!"
"What?" Bijo asks.
"Couldn't we just make that like a family greeting tradition or something?" Idlewild asks.
The End
