Quietly to himself,
"Thats what I heard from Bill...."
He looks at the others.
"It is possible to get to Shadow Realm from the Middle Realm... However, to get the creatures to work for us, may be a problem. This one has been following me most of our time appart, and its still growling. Listen, it can't even control its power, so it scares everything living away."

"And what about that shadow empire? Remember that the two generals are off to kill me. I don't know if they're still generals in there... I hope not... but knowing the generals, they're not likely to suddenly drop an order. Same with most other shadows. My point is, even if we do convince the shadows to help us by some miracle, they'd help grudgingly."
Starla looks to Dragus.
"By the way, how did you get out of the middle realm once you got stuck there?"
((The reason Starla isn't acting so phased about the generals is because she's grown used to the idea. She's had 3 years of contemplation on the fact. I'm not saying that she likes the idea though.))

"Well once I read about what was there, I released it. It sounded like it was ok... Apparently, they posted the WARNING to unleashing it inside the room it was trapped in."
Dragus shakes his head.
"Than once it was released, it grabbed me and I was back in our world. Since than its been following me."

"The Generals... I forgot."
Cheshil shook his head.
"Both of you are being chased by shadows. And then there's the Keeper..."
Cheshil shrugged.
"Truthfully, after about a year I realized that we'd probably not have any luck. If anyone was going to have a chance at finding useful information, it would probably be Suigi. Shouldn't he be here?"

"The wolf may have been friendly, but the other animals may not be." Starla looked to Cheshil. "I don't think I ever told you about the generals... That doesn't matter now. And we said that Suigi would meet us in two days, so I doubt he'd be here now. And who is this Keeper, by the way?" ((Aw dangit. My dad's telling me to go to bed. I'll stay on as long as possible.))

At the moment Suigi's name was mentioned, the bird flies near the group and the fire. Its Blue and Purple feathers shine in the light of the fire.
Dragus stares at it.
"You know, I didn't get a look at it when it picked me up and dropped me earlier... But thats a Neophix, its like a Phoenix, except the colors are differnt, has weaker healing powers, and is reborn in ice... Yeah, everyone goes to the Phoenix, because its more powerful and well known. But look at this, a Neophix."
He notices something.
"Theres a note tied to its leg..."
He takes it and reads it to himself.

While Dragus reads the note, Cheshil looks at Starla, confused.
"No... You told me, I remember... Unless."
He quickly pulled out '1001 Ways to Kill a Shadow'.
Flipping to the 'About the Author' section, Cheshil twitched a little and put it back.
"The Keeper... The Keeper of the Keys."
Cheshil smiled a little, "Why don't we save that story for one of our inevitable boat trips?"

"I don't think I told either of you the whole story though... About the generals, I mean... But not now."
At the word 'boat trip', Starla suddenly looked sick. Then she calmed herself down.
"Okay," Starla said a little more forcefully than intended. Then she looked over to Dragus to see if he finished reading his letter.

((If I remember about the Generals correctly, both of you know. It was a small side story you two took, when you two were captured or something. Where I was stuck away from you both. So I was left out, but you two both know.))
Dragus looked up from the note.
"I never heard about them eaither. Oh, and this is interesting."

((Actually, all I know about it is the identity of the generals. ^_^; ))
Starla looked at the letter.
"What does it say?"

"Apparently... Suigi won't be joining us......."
He looks down at the note, and back to the group.
"He was captured by Drake's forces.

"No!" Starla exclaimed. "Wait, wait, since when did Drake have an army?"

"No! How?! Wasn't he supposed to go train so he WOULDN'T get caught?"

Dragus looks at the note again.
"Apparently, he somehow killed the leader of the Dark Riders with the help of your sister, and took control. And than it says that... It says we follow the bird to the temple in the north......"

"But... why would Drake do that? He said himself that he served his leader loyally, and he's stupid enough for me to believe that. And as for my sister helping him, I'm not surprised at that. I am surprised she hasn't killed him yet. And to follow the bird... that sounds like a trap."
