Taiyou was amazed at the kindness and generosity that had been shown to her. As she sat with her new friends she thought, They're so kind. I should find some way to repay them...
Just then there came a knock on the door and a young man swept into the room and sat in Piro's seat. After Piro shoved him away, he turned to Taiyou and said, "And who might you be? Never seen you before." Taiyou started and said sharply, "Taiyou. I just arrived here a few days ago. And I take it that you're Piro's brother?"

Ota, not noticing the edge in Taiyou's voice, smiled happily and said: "Yes, I am." Then he stood and bowed, smiling at the two queens and Taiyou. "I am Ota. I don't have any cool title like my dearest baby sister [Piro gives him glare of doom], but I'm still.... Pretty cool." He smiled and sat down, sipping some more of Piro's tea. "Pretty cool...? Of corse..." Piro muttered, still glaring at him. [Yup, yup. I like him. ;D He's fun to be. ]

Aqulu dragged Hok through the dimly lit forest, over the mossy logs and running streams. Occasionally the Aeman would mumble something about slowing down, but Hok paid no attention.
"Aye, we're almost here!" The mage exclaimed. She rushed quickle past a few enormous trees, that seemed to stare down at the two girls. Hok was paying no attention to where they were headed, but instead, the majestic nature of the forest. She finally looked up to see Aqulu standing at the edge of the trees, extending her hand for her friend to take.
"Haha!" Hok ran up ahead and let the girl grab her wrist.
"Are you ready?" Aqulu smiled.
"Yep." Hok looked forward at the pale light. She watched as the young mage drew an oval shape with her fingers, and stared in awe at the bright colors pouring out from the rim of the shape.
"Let's go!" Aqulu jumped forward and pulled Hokna with her. The Aeman watched from inside the orb at the tip of the Summoner's staff. And within 1, 2, 3, they had all set foot on the borders of the Hountai Kingdom.
Aqulu looked over to make sure her friend had made it all right. She smiled. "That's not even the half of it." And just as quickly as they had came, the two were on their way into the Kingdom.

"Oh....my....goodness!!!" Hokna said excitedly, running and looking at the sky. "Wow...it's so beautiful here. There's a full moon, too.... Awesome..." Hokna heard a rustle in the forest, and looked in the direction of it. Was that Kiyouh again? No, that's impossible. He couldn't come here that fast. Hokna ignored it and started to walk into the Kingdom. Aqulu followed her.
Different people, possibly Black Mages also, in different genders, were walking past Aqulu and Hokna. Aqulu gave Hokna a grand tour of the Kingdom: Where the market was, where the inns were, everything. She even showed Hokna where her home was. "Mom, I'm home!" Aqulu said when she stepped into the entry way. A woman dressed in black and silver robes stepped downstairs to see who her quest was. She hugged her daughter tightly. "Oh, Aqulu! You had me so worried! I thought someone kidnapped you!" Aqulu returned the hug. "Nah, it was OK. I met a new friend. And guess what? She's one of the many Summoners from the Phamakian Kingdom. This is Hokna." The Summoner was shy, meeting someone more mature than her, but also very nice. "Um....um...It's very nice to meet you, ma'am," Hokna said, bowing. "Come, come! Make yourself at home, miss Hokna!"

^Yeah. Me and Hokna and the Aeman are in the Hountai Kingdom. Being followed by Hok's crazy fiance'. -------------------------------------------------------------
"Come, Come. Make yourself at home, miss Hokna!" The woman motioned towards a comfortable looking seat, and Hokna watched as it slid out from underneath the table, and thrusted itself forward, sweeping the young Summoner off her feet, and onto it's lap.
Aqulu laughed. "I'm heading upstairs mom." She began walking towards the stairwell, and made her way up to the second floor. Hok was quick to follow, but stopped when she realized the stairs were no longer where they appeared to be.
"Oh, I'm sorry. They tend to do that." Aqulu's mother pointed towards the wall. Within moments, the stairwell was back where Hokna had seen it just moments before. She turned around and saw the older Mage smiling.
"It's nice when you have a break-in." she smiled. "The stairs change location, and the thieves never know how to make them stop." Hokna laughed, and began up to Aqulu's bedroom. ---
It was nothing like she expected. The young mage had a six corner room, with walls that changed from dark blue, to purple, then black, and back. The windows seemed to reflect the entire village. The people out on the streets practicing magic, with colors flying off in each direction, then bursting into midair.
"Nice view, huh?"
Hokna spun around. She was now eye to eye with the most beautiful creature she had ever seen in her life. She had wonderous, silver-edged wings, and long purple hair that never seemed to end. Her eyes were a deep, mesmorizing green, and she was wearing a revealing, but more than appropriate outfit for a..
"You're a nymph, aren'tcha?" Hokna eyed her carefully, then poked her with the edge of her staff. The young girl seemed pleased.
"Of course. And by the looks of it, you must be.. Hokna the Summoner?" The girl blinked. "But how'd you know?"
"I can tell." She threw herself back in a graceful manner, and landed on the top of Aqulu's dresser. She sat one leg over the other, holding onto her knees, as she called into the other room.
"Aqulu, your friend made it up the staircase!" She smiled warmly.
The young mage entered the room. She had taken off her robe, and was in casual mage attire. She eyed Hokna, then laughed. "So you did, eh?"
The summoner seemed modest. "Of course. I only needed a little bit of help from your mom, and the rest was all me." She plopped down onto the bed, and began to tap the crystal on top of her staff, raddling the Aeman around.
"And I see you've met my nymph, Aekita?" she motioned towards the girl on her dresser.
"Yep. But I must say, I wasn't expecting a nymph of all things. Especially in your own house!" She laughed.
"Yeah. All mage's are paired with a nymph as a partner in this whole magic thing." She watched Aekita play with her hair. "Something about them being able to control their magic better. And we kind of work well together while training."
Hokna sat up. "I think that's great!" She looked out the window, and saw a figure make it's way through the crowd. But he seemed so, good at it. She watched him more carefully.
"Kiyouh" ---------------------------- Um. That was long. O.O

Kiyouh was tired of chasing her... "fiance'". He just wanted to Apologize... But no, shes always on the run. Why am I even Doing this? At this his Mind cleared instantly, and a fluffy voice floated into his thoughts... It said two things. "Kill Hokna!" He had no choice but to obey.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Kiyouh is being mind controlled. By some evil... thing.

Aqulu: Oh, that's Ok!!! Kiyouh: Pst, pst... Note he's also being ordered to bring Hokna home, by orders of her mother, of course. Hm.... Must.... ask.... Horyojin for something...that affects storyline!! -------------------- Hokna's heart was pounding hard again once she saw Kiyouh. Was it fear that she was feeling? "Oh, come on, Hokna! Think! Come ON!!! Let's see... the Male Summoners are supplied with an Aeon that can teleport the Summoner anywhere, as long as the wanted location stayed in his Kingdom. Another Aeon is one that can control plants, with the exception for the Summoner to be an Aeman that controlled them himself. "What was another one...? Ice, yes. Moonlight, yes... What was the other one..? What was the other one? There were two more, I know it... um... let's see... let's see.... Heat and...." Hokna's heart nearly skipped a beat. She realized what helped Kiyouh enter the Hountai Kingdom. "Delay in a teleportation's closing spell...." "What?!" Aqulu said, nearly falling on the floor. "No way! He looks the same age as you!! How could he..." "Males appear their exact age, females appear older than their age. I'm only thirteen years old, Kiyouh's seventeen, I think. I originaly only have my first Aeon or Aeman from the Phamakian Kingdom when we're married." Aqulu's eyes widened. "So, the Translation was true..." she said, quietly. "What translation?" "Oh, nevermind! It's nothing!" Aqulu said, sitting on her bed. "Hokna! Aqulu! Dinner!!" "Food!!" Hokna said, standing up from the Black Mage's bedroom floor, and walked downstairs. Her stomach was growling, and Kiyouh's little food trick didn't help it calm down. What Hokna didn't know was that Kiyouh was in the kitchen, dressed in a Servant's robe, the hood down so he couldn't be noticed. She waved to the servant, who was really Kiyouh, and smiled. ------ Edit: Man, I stunk the day before. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[Hok: Why don't you tell Kiyouh what he's doing? That way he doesn't have to guess And to all: My character's history changed slightly, but it is basically the same and you won't be able to tell, so why am I telling you? ] Taiyou watched Piro and Ota as they argued, and smiled to herself. They seem just like... Taiyou stopped herself. I have to stay strong. I made this decision for myself, and I can't doubt myself now. Taiyou was lost in her thoughts when she heard "Taiyou! Didn't you hear me?" [And take it away...someone.]

Hokna sat down at the table, where Aqulu and her mother were waiting for dinner to be served. She couldn't wait to see what it was. A servant came and brought a tray of food for Hokna and the others to dine on. Hokna's stomach kept growling, but her heart was beating fast. She sensed something wrong. --------------- Sorry, just waiting for someone else besides me to post.

Aqulu watched as her mother handed the cloaked man the plates, and he set them down gently on the table. She looked up and smiled.
"Thanks mom." But the mage didn't answer her. Aqulu ignored it.
"Hok, dig in." Aqulu smiled in her direction, and began cutting the food with her knife. "I don't know if I'm hungry anymore." Hok pushed the tray forward, and stood up, the chair squeaking as it slid backwords.
The summoner looked over at the man who was handing out their food, but she wasn't watching his face, rather, his hands.
"Aqulu, we'll be needing to start searching for your mother soon."
The mage looked up at her in confusion. "Hok, she's right over.." Aqulu eyed the kitchen carefully, but the only person in the room with them was the hooded servant.
"Oh." she blinked, then looked back over at Hokna. She then turned her attention to their unfamiliar guest.
Hokna reached for her staff, while Aqulu whistled a single high note, that flooded throughout the entire home.
"Aye?" Aekita was down the stairs in no time, but knew right away what was wrong.
"Aqulu, grab your friend, and find your mother." she smiled in their direction. "I'll keep him here a little while."
The nymph edged forward and extended her hand, outstretched palm. Hokna stared in disbelief as a bright light began streaming out from the creature's fingertips. But then she looked at Kiyouh, who was already in a fighting stance, gazing at her with sharp eyes.
"Hok, hurry!" Aqulu was already forming an oval pattern on the wall, and reached out for her friends hand.
"Have fun, Kiyouh." Hokna winked in his direction, and could have sworn she'd seen him smile back at her. She allowed hor Aqulu to grab her wrist, and push her forward, into the portal.
"Aekita." The nymph looked over, intense eyes.
Aqulu watched the strings of light flood the room. "Don't let him get away." ------------
Okay, Hok, we're now going to look for my characters mom, leaving Aekita with Kiyouh, who will escape.

Alrighty, then!! -------
Hokna and Aqulu were outside of the Black Mage's home, and Hokna looked around. Normally, there would be people bumping into each other and selling goods, but the streets were dead quiet, save Hokna and Aqulu breathing. Hokna noticed a black-silver light and covered her eyes with her hand. She looked around again, but failed to see someone show up. "I wonder if Aekita's alright?" she whispered.
"We need to find my mother as soon as possible," Aqulu said, looking around. Hokna was thinking about the Aeons Kiyouh possibly had. "The Teleportaion Aeon can only teleport the Summoner himself, but never the other people. You have an idea, Aqulu?" "Maybe he can do whatever he wants with the Aeon, now that he's outside of the Phamakian Kingdom," Aqulu guessed. She kept looking around. "I can't see anything here that can help us find my mother. I don't think there is anything that can help."
Hokna pointed to the light. "What about...?" She dropped her hand. "Nevermind." Of course Aqulu can't see it. She's not a Summoner like Hokna. Hokna grabbed Aqulu's hand and ran towards the light. She stopped when her foot crushed a bottle of Sleeping Powder. "So that's what Kiyouh used," she whispered.
"Let's keep going." Hokna ran faster, the light glowing brighter with every two steps. Hokna felt that something was wrong.
She knew that Kiyouh escaped, and was waiting for Hokna to fall into his trap, with Aqulu's mother and the innocent people of the Hountai Kingdom as bait.... --------
Okay, wolly! I think you should post now!! Or someone.....

"Hok, what is it?" Aqulu looked over at her friend, and noticed she'd been staring off every now and then. She seemed tense.
"Oh, it's nothing." She rubbed the back of her neck, and let out a sigh. "We should start figuring out where to look."
Aqulu started to worry about her. Not only had Hok been acting strange since they left, but she wasn't as cheerfull as she normally was. She hadn't even been this concerned over the war.
"Let's map some stuff out." Hok took out a parchment from her sash, and sat down on the cold ground. Aqulu began tracing her finger over the paper, creating a line over the route they had been traveling. "Now, we have to think about where your mother might be."
The mage looked up at the sky, and saw the clouds whirling in overhead. "Hokna, do you happen to know anything else about this fiancee of yours?" ---------------------------------------------------------- ..More of you guys have to post. It's not just me and Hok. ;D

Ota, not noticing the edge in Taiyou's voice, smiled happily and said: "Yes, I am." Then he stood and bowed, smiling at the two queens and Taiyou. "I am Ota. I don't have any cool title like my dearest baby sister [Piro gives him glare of doom], but I'm still.... Pretty cool." He smiled and sat down, sipping some more of Piro's tea. "Pretty cool...? Of corse..." Piro muttered, still glaring at him. [Yup, yup. I like him. ;D He's fun to be. ] "Nice to meet you." Mashi held out her hand, taking his and giving it a hard shake. She smiled. Aranjee did the same. "Would you care to join us for breakfast?" the Orange queen questioned, grinning.
