Hiryuu sat in one of the AGSOSA's many magestic bedrooms and
contemplated his situation.
This was definately not what he expected. These bedrooms were probably
the closest thing to what they considred a dojo around here. He mentally
went through the events that had just transpired and tried to make sense
of it. He was prepared for what he thought would be the fight of his
life, but these strange people did not attack. They didn't even blink
when he stood before them fully unclothed. "It must be fairly
commonplace around here" Hiryuu concluded.
They even offered for him to go with them on their journey. Hiryuu
didn't know what made him accept. "Theres something about this group...
something big is about to happen." His thoughts were interrupted by a
man that seemed to materialize right in front of him. Hiryuu quickly
assumed an aggresive stance, but the man took no notice.
"So you can wear clothes after all."
Hiryuu lowered his guard a bit. "You're that guy from before.. Arcanis?"
Hiryuu hadn't been able to detect his approach. He was talented in
sensing people by their chi flows or "battle aura" but this man
projected none at all.
"I came to tell you we are about to leave.." Arcanis gave Hiryuu a hard
look "And I wanted to ask about your curse."
Hiryuu reafirmed his guard "Curse?! how could you.. I mean- what
curse?!"
"You have the taint of a magic curse, I can see the presence of another
form within you. But it isn't a full curse.. it needs a trigger to
activate it." Arcanis cooly stated.
Hiryuu stared at Arcanis for a few seconds before stating "All right.
For some reason I feel I can trust you. You must be some sort of
sorceror to be able to recognize my curse." Hiryuu didn't really fully
trust him yet. He hated magic. He was taught it was cowardly and a sign
of weakness to rely on any force but your own to win your battles.
"You could say that.. now about this curse?"
"Oh, all right. It started 3 years ago.." Hiryuu's voice started
reverberating and the room started to swirl.
Arcanis looked around in puzzlement. "What the hell?"
"Martial Arts storytelling flashback technique.. ANYWAY I was training
with my friend in an exotic land, we had heard about some mystic
training ground and decided to check it out."
Two boys are seen of about the same age. They are standing in front of a
valley filled with hundreds of small pools, with bamboo shoots sticking
out of them. Next to them is a man with what seemed to be a melon for a
head.
Hiryuu interjected. "Thats me and Akuryuu. He's from the demon dragon
school of martial arts. We had similar goals so we travelled together
for a while." Hiryuu went on. "We both learned every martial art we
could until it came down to learning each others. Of course neither of
us wanted to give up our arts.. so we set a challenge. Whoever won got
to learn the others art." A scowl crossed Hiryuu's face. "We set the
date.. but the honorless bastard never showed up."
The melonhead man then spoke. "Ooh sirs.. this is very cursed training
ground. You sure you want do this?"
The younger Hiryuu spoke up. "Of course. We didn't come all this way for
nothin."
The other boy seemed to be puzzled how the melon could speak without a
mouth.
They both lept onto the bamboo poles and began exchanging blows.
Melonhead sighed. "I always try tell honored guests training ground is
most cursed.. Why they no listen?"
Akuryuu took the first hit and tumbled into a pool.
Hiryuu effotlessly landed upright on a pole. "This is easy.. can we go
home yet?"
Melonhead was in a panic. "Oh no! that most terrible cursed spring of
all!"
Hiryuu just now realized what the melonhead was saying. "Huh?"
A long slimy appendage shot out of the pool and wrapped around Hiryuu.
"Ugh.. wh. what the hell is this?!"
Melonhead held out a small sign. "Oh, too bad. you fall in
Hentainiichuan.. spring of drowned hentai tentacle monster. There most
terrible legend, of tentacle hentai monster that drown there 4,500 year
ago. I think that story not so tragic, no?"
The tentacle hurled Hiryuu into another pool. "aaah!" splash!
Melonhead shook his head. "You fall in Moogleniichuan, spring of drown
moogle. There moogle jump in pool and drown 1,500 year ago. Why he do
that?"
Hiryuu surfaced and looked at his new body. The antennae on his head
stood straight in shock.
The older Hiryuu wiped a tear from his eye. "And thats my tragic story."
Arcanis digested the information. "So .. you turn into a moogle.?"
Hiryuu nodded. "Cold water activates the curse... hot water changes me
back."
Arcanis frowned. "I think its best we keep this a secret for now. You
remember that Elf girl, Lia? She really doesn't like moogles."
"It can't be that bad."
"She will kill you on sight."
Hiryuu cringed. "I guess keeping it secret would be a good idea then.."
"Let her just try it." Hiryuu mentally added.
Arcanis stood straight "Well, shall we be leaving?"
Hiryuu got up also. "Right. This way!" Hiryuu walked through the wall
leaving a pile of rubble and dust.
Pyxie turned from the loud noise and inspected the damage. "Don't you
know how to use a door?"
Hiryuu looked puzzled. "Of course."
Pyxie just rolled her eyes. "Well, we're ready to depart. Our
destination is Nikeah!"
"Nikeah?" Hiryuu asked, feeling the heated stares from Pokey and Lia.
"Isn't that uh, overseas?"
"Of course. Thats why we're taking a boat." Pyxie replied.
Hiryuu tugged on his collar. "...Boat?" He glanced at Lia.
Arcanis shook his head. "This should be interesting."
