[because no one who is in the same place as me is posting, I'm just going to get us all to Lunai's palace as soon as possible. Meaning that this post is meant to take place a little before all of Hok and Aqua's posts]
"Taiyou! Didn't you hear me?"
Taiyou's thoughts scattered like petals in the wind as she snapped back to the present. "Sorry. What did you say?" Orangey scowled for a moment, then broke into a smile as she repeated, "We're going to leave for Hountai tomorrow morning. So make sure to pack tonight." "Sounds good," Taiyou replied.
After the small group broke for bed, Taiyou began to pack her few posessions into a small bag that Piro had given her. She paused as she picked up her spell book. It's hard to believe that I really left. But I couldn't stay. At least I may find some purpose in this strange and new place. Taiyou sighed and packed the old volume as well as a few garments that the three queens had given her. She left her cloak and bow and arrows out, and dropped onto her bed with a yawn. I wonder what kind of a place this Hountai kingdom is... Taiyou thought as she drifted off to sleep.
Early the next morning, the four friends gathered in the courtyard. "Morning all," Mashy said, stifling a yawn. "Ready to go?" She looked looked a normal commoner without her crown and extravagant gown. Piro and Orangey were also dressed as commoners, in order to make it easier for them to travel without drawing too much attention to themselves. They packed all of their belongings into the carraige and were about to climb in when they heard a voice from inside the ice castle.
"Wait!" Ota ran into view and stopped just before the carraige. "Don't...leave...without me," he panted. Piro's face clouded with anger. "Why would you be coming?" "Aww, come on sis," Ota pleaded. "I haven't been outside of Macalania in ages. Besides, it always helps to have a man there to protect you."
Taiyou stifled a laugh. Like I would need protection. What kind of enchantress does he think I am? A grey level? She looked over at the three queens. Well, I suppose that things could get a little out of hand since there's so much royalty here.
Piro had finally consented to Ota's pleading and the five of them set off for Hountai. "How far is it?" Taiyou asked after a few hours. "Only a week or so by carraige," said Piro. "We'll be there in no time."
The first night they stopped at an inn, and continued their journey in the morning, without insident. After the second night, however, Taiyou began to feel herself grow weaker each day. She tried to hide it, so as not to inconvienience the others, but they noticed when she collapsed on the way into the carraige one morning.
"Taiyou? Taiyou!! Wake up!" Taiyou moved weakly, but was unable to get up. What...what's wrong with me? "Ota! Help her already" Piro yelled. Ota moved quickly to pick Taiyou up and put her into the carraige. Taiyou kept her eyes shut the entire time. "What's wrong? Is she going to be okay?" Orangey asked urgently. "I don't know. It just looks like she ran out of energy or something," Piro replied. "We should hurry and get to Lunai's palace."
The palace was less than a day away, and by sunset (days are shorter there, so sunset=a little before noon) they could see its silhouette piercing the darkening sky. During the rest of the trip, Taiyou only opened her eyes once. Why am I so weak? So...helpless? Taiyou thought vaugely, the same thought repeating itself in her head.
By the time the carraige had reached the castle gates, it wasnight, with only the stars to illuminate the velvet sky.
[yup. Ota came. Party. Woot woot]

Akira picked up the pace. The carriage that passed her along the way send shivers down her spine...just something about the vehicle set her nerves off.
*I sure hope I am wrong* she thought *if that where the Queens traveling we all are in for a lot of trouble*
But something else worried her. She sensed the presence of something dark - very dark....

Hokna took out a Sun Orb and held it in her hand. It felt so warm, so comforting in the cold. She used it to look around the room, and allowed Aqulu to look with her.
"You're here for the Meeting, are you not?" the Queen said politely, shifting around in her seat. Hokna nodded, and kept looking at the walls and paintings. "This is a beautiful place," Hokna told the Queen. It was true.
"The guests are a bit late. Why don't I show you around?" The Queen rose from her chair and told the two companions what was what in the room. There were five paintings, thirteen vases, and twenty-five lights in the whole entire room.
"Wow, that's very amazing!!" Hokna heard a knock on the door, and opened it immediately. There were a few girls and one boy, and another female was being carried by one of the girls that was elegantly dressed in blues.
"Please, someone, help her!! She might be dying!!" ---------
Post, Aqulu or someone!!!! Please? ^^;

^ LOL ^^ -------
Hokna took the girl and sat her down on the floor of the room. She examined her carefully, and shone the Sun Orb above the girl so that Hokna could see what was wrong. She saw the girl move a little, and brought the Orb closer.
It took a few moments to go by, but the girl finally sat up and took the Sun Orb in her hands. "Do you mind?" Hokna shook her head. "I don't mind. You can keep it."
The Queen stood up. "Now, let's begin the Meeting."

Taiyou blinked awake when the light hit her. "What...?" She looked up to see a girl holding some sort of orb above her. Taiyou reached out and felt her energy return as she grabbed hold of the light. "Do you mind?" she asked. The shook her head and Taiyou gratefully pulled the orb closer to herself, growing stronger by the second. What sort of spell is this? she thought, confused. It's like an artifical sun. Taiyou turned her attention the grand young lady at the the front of the room, just as she spoke.

"Let's sit down," Hokna said to the small crowd in the room. Everyone took a seat on black silk sheets, and Hokna took the one next to the one with the blue dress, and Aqulu sat down in another seat that was next to Hokna's. "Now, there has been a War going on for the past three months. I don't know what has caused my people to do this, but they were the ones who started the War. Someone wants to control the Macalania Kingdom, but we don't know who yet." Hokna was paying very close attention to the speech that the Queen was telling them. Hokna saw vines reach up and try to trap her, but she still payed attention. The vines wrapped around Hokna's waist, arms, hands, and feet. But the Queen still rambled on. Did that mean that no one was seeing them? Hokna's heart started to pound hard. Hands started to thread through her hair, someone breathing into her ear, a male voice saying "Run to me." Someone's lips started to press against her dirt-brown hair. Then a girl's voice pierced her thoughts. "Oooooootaaaaaa...." "Aw....." The boy, named Ota, sat back down on his seat, and started to shift around. Hokna can still feel the vines wrapping around her. Ota wasn't doing anything to the Summoner. But Hokna didn't know who was. Was it Kiyouh? Was it Kaishin? She didn't think about it anymore. She kept paying attention to the speech, and let whoever was doing the things that he did before continue. ----------- A ghost! OMGosh!! j/k ^^

Taiyou was listening to the Queen's speech (with the orb still in her hands) when she noticed that the girl who had given her the orb seemed to be breathing strangely. What in the...? She then saw how the girl's hands and legs were moving slightly and urgently. Almost like something was holding them dow...That's it! Taiyou tried to see what was going on, but there didn't seem to be anything there. Maybe if I did a revealing spell... she thought, then was overcome with dizziness. Shoot, I'm still to weak for spells. She tried to signal Piro, but immediatly felt something sharp wrap around her neck. Taiyou stiffened, sensing from the position that it could kill her in an instant. Now what am I supposed to do...?? she thought furiously.

"Horyojin!!!!" Hokna called, still holding her staff tightly, even though her wrists were trapped. "Help them!!" "Awright." The Aeman was released from the crystal in a glow of green, and started to command the vines to disappear. The girl with the Sun Orb was gasping for air, and Horyojin commanded the vines just in time.
Hokna let the Aeman go back into the crystal. She should treat him with something after the Meeting...
When the Meeting was over, the girl in the blue dress, Aqulu, and Hokna were standing in a room. "What happened...?" The girl said. "I don't know," Hokna said. She looked down sadly. She felt so helpless, so sad... "Are you two traveling alone?" "Yes, we are," Aqulu said, sitting down on the floor. "We mostly run into dangerous things, but we get out okay." The girl was changing into an outfit that was very unusual. "Well, maybe I can help you. I mean, you have a lot of items that I can mix, and..."
"You're an Item-Mixer?" Aqulu said, surprised. The girl nodded. "Of course," she said, smiling. She put her hand out. "I'm Pirogoeth. My Traveling name is Pirikku. I should join you two." Hokna placed her hand on top of Pirikku's. "You know, I think we should come up with a name..." Aqulu did the same that Hokna did, only on top of Hokna's hand. "You can be the leader. After all, you're the Summoner." "We should call ourselves.... the Trio of Fighers." "I agree." "Me, too." --------
The ToF is born!!!! ;D

Aqulu eyed her up and down. "So, an item-mixer. I've never really, you know, met one before." She smiled at her new friend.
"Well, you just did, right?" Piro walked forward and picked up a sack that was lying on the floor. Hok looked over at the brownish-fur bag.
"Yeah, I guess so." Aqulu laughed. She reached for her staff in the back of her sack, and pointed it towards the majestic walls of the palace. "Trio of Fighters, eh?" The tip of the staff began to glow, slowly at first, then the light lit the entire room in just moments.
"I like it!" Hok began bouncing happily, up and down. "We should travel together! Always!" She pulled her two friends close.
Piro smiled warmly. "Yeah, I like that idea." The two girls looked over to get the mages approval. Aqulu was watching the edge of the staff very closely, and began forming an shape on the wall with the light.
"Sure." She looked down, then up. Hok could have sworn she'd seen it forced, but, nonetheless, Aqulu smiled."Why not?"

"Great! We should go get some items. Maybe equipment, too! We should go to the Hountai Market, and then to the Phamakian Market! There's some items there that can be used by an Item-Mixer to make a Peace Potion!!" Aqulu nodded and started to draw an oval on the wall, like she always did. The oval transformed into a portal, and the trio went inside, spinning without the gravity pulling them down to the ground. When the three companions were in the Hountai Market, everything was fine. The people were talking, the Merchants were selling stuff, and the streets were filled with life. Hokna, Aqulu, and Pirikku went around buying different Poitons, Status Recovery items, and different accessories that would help them in battle.
Moments later, the three met in the Square, and the Black Mage drew another portal to help them go to the Phamakian Kingdom. Aqulu went in first, followed by Hokna and the Item-Mixer.
A man in green Martial Artist clothes was watching them from a distance. Seeing that no one was looking, he went into the portal after the three companions before it closed. -----------------
^Dude in green= NOT Kiyouh.

"this is our Queens most favorite OWl" cried the birdkeeper Akira had found in the small town surrounding the Moon Country's castle. "She will reward you handsomely!" he assured her.
"That is not neccessary at all" Akira declined actualy glad to be rid of the heavy bird. After being confind to the closeness of her bag the owl was eager to spread her wings and wildly flapped around.
"I will make sure Her Majesty will know about your good deed"
Akira was not too happy about this. She had given her true name to the two girls she had met, not thinking she would cross paths with them again, but in this case.... "Sakura, my name is Sakura. It was my pleasure to rescue Her Majesty's treasued pet!" she lied.
When she had stepped out of the birdkeeper's little cottage she felt the crystal on her chest go cold and before she could pull it out of her shirt a deep pink light engolfed her and drew her away....
She had teleported into a Grand Hall so high she could not see the ceiling and so long she could not make out the other end. The sides where lined with giand statues, all depicting the same person, a wzzards with a long cloak and a widebrimmed hat that hid his features. The whole room was dipped in the same pink light that transported Akira here.
"I hate when you summon me like this!" Akira scowled.
"You shall kneel before me!" a thunderous voice demanded
Akira dropped to one knee without lowering her head.
"You are pathetic, you know that?! You send me on this wild goose chase and now you call me back!" Akira wanted to leave, but she knew only too well the crystal had her trapped here for now untill he would release her or send her away.
