Kasyune Rides Again! (Enter Triunis)

[Triunis]

The air was filled with the mindless chatter of people shopping, walking about, and simply visiting. Everyone seemed happy, but there seemed to be distinct wave of people backing away from something as it lurched down the street. It stood about seven feet tall, was a pale bluish-greenish color, and looked basically like an oversized lizard. It fell to its knees suddenly and coughed up a small amount of blood onto its tattered robes. The blood sank in, dried, and darkened, and the thing climbed to its feet and continued to walk down the street.

Not . . . Ria? . . . where am I?

. . . Ahh . . . my . . . head . . .

It colapsed to the ground, again coughing more blood. People were walking away disgustedly and sickened, but the being didn't care. It needed shelter, it needed food, it needed rest, and instead . . . here it was.

When I get better, there are going to be some very unhappy people . . .

With that happy thought, Triunis collapsed on his front unconscious.

[Vahn/Ananias]

Vahn walked int othe town feeling rather confused. It seemed only minutes before he was flying by the planet on the run when a mysterious force shot from the planet and struck his ship. He had crashed outside of this town and was very dissapointed to find his ship totalled. He frowned slightly at the thought and then briskly continued on.

He stopped unexpectedly as he tripped over an immense creature lying on the ground.

"Hey friend, that's no way to greet someone."

Then turning around he discovered the large lizard type person unconcious on the ground. He looked around embarrassably and then walked over to a man about to go inside of his house.

"Hello friend! You wouldn't mind selling me your housenow would you?"

The man looked suprised into Vahn's eyes and then said, "It'll cost you quite alot newcomer. I don't believe that you have the money."

"I bewlieve this will cover it." Vahn said reaching into the pouch on his belt. He pulled out a small red gem and tapped it once with his gun. The gem shook and then grew to the size of a large dog. "It's called a rose diamond, its from the planet of Kersanad, it is diamond mixed with the blood of two-hundred slaves. It has a worth of about 60,000,000 kentos (approx. $100,000,000,000) Now move along."

THe man ran away cheering and then came back, grabbed the diamond,and hauled it off into the distance. Vahn then grabbed the feet of the lizard and dragged him into the house. He hoisted him onto the couch and sat down himself on a chair and started reading a book. He would wait till the creature awoke to heal him.

[Chii]

Chii stood at the corner of the street, trying to negotiate with some peddler about the price of cotton candy. A small horde of little children awaited the decision, while Chii smiled expectantly at the peddlers face.

"I don't even charge anything for my cotton candy. I simply don't have enough, though, to give to everyone in the world who needs cotton candy some." she said, biting her lip.

"Fine. Twenty cents it is." the small children cheered, and Chii walked away contentedly, her own bag filled with the cotton candy. Humming cheerfully, she began window shopping again, stopping at almost every store and giving the manager a friendly wave and a "hello". On her way to the Book Sellers, she stopped seeing a large lump in the middle street.

She was about to go and see what it was, when a man came, and began dragging it into a house. Recognizing her friends face, she started running toward the house, but was distracted by some random guy yelling something about being rich. She paused to gaze at the house and decided she would be polite and simply wait for someone to open the door and so, she sat on the steps of the house, humming idly and munching on pink cotton candy.

[Vahn/Ananias]

Vahn's ears perked up suddenly as he heard someone humming outside of his door. He stood up slowly, judging from the amount of sound he determined that the culprit of this was right outside. He was curious as to who it could be. He walked over to the door and looked the person's face.

"Why hello. Would you like to come in? Maybe you know this creature I found unconcious. Hm?"

Vahn wore a huge smile upon his face. He was always glad to meet people.

[Triunis]

Triunis groaned and opened his eyes. The first thing he saw - a tall man who seemed rather out of place - made him a little queasy. The second thing he saw - a pair of huge, bright, intelligent eyes - made his face light up like a firefly.

"Chii! Good Gaea, is it really you?"

He stood up suddenly, and promptly fell to his knees. He coughed, looked at his hand, and saw the blood covering it. He groaned.

"However I got here, I hope you arrived in a safer manner . . ."

He tried to stand and fell again. Looking at his leg, he saw that it was broken.

But . . . it should have healed by now! Unless . . .

. . . unless . . . I'm alive.

He looked at himself. Gone were his scars, gone were his bruises, and gone was the pale hue his scales once had. He grinned.

"I'm alive! I don't believe it, I'm actually alive! Ha ha ha!!"

The Treachu held up his living hand and shook it with glee. He had never imagined or even hoped that this day could've come.

[Chii]

Chii looked up, obviously surprised that someone had opened the door so quickly. An even larger smile broke out upon her face.

"I'm Chii. Yeh, the guy is my friend." she said, walking inside the house. Seeing Truinis, she ran over to hug him, as was her custom, but stopped, realizing he was hurt, and hugged him very gently instead. "Yep, it's me. My way of coming here was a lot stranger, more magic, less blood. Caused a pretty big deal for the inhabitants of Sumpa lake." she said, wincing. "Here, try some of this." she handed him a pink tinted vial of her special healing water. "We knew each other from another planet," she explained to Vahn.

"You're alive?" Chii asked somewhat jealously. "How?" As slim her chances were of actually being alive, she still dreamed. I feel like Pinocchio..

[Triunis]

Triunis took the liquid gratefully and drank it. He could feel a warmth spread inside him, and he handed the vial back.

"I don't know how I got here, much less how I'm alive. I don't remember what I was doing, I was just suddenly here. My robes were torn, I was sick, and now, it looks as though my leg is broken."

He looked down at his leg, and sighed. He had enjoyed his ability to regenerate as an undead, but it was good to feel blood flowing through his veins again. Suddenly, he felt self-conscious, and looked at Chii.

"Erm. About the suddenly becoming alive . . . don't worry about it. It's possible that it could happen to you as well."

Suddenly, the image of a radiant sprite popped into his head, and he choked out a single word.

"Saya!"

He looked stricken for a moment, then fixed his gaze on Chii.

"Chii! Saya, the phoenix sprite! Is she here? Is she on this planet as well?"

Triunis looked incredibly hopeful. The sprite had been his greatest friend on Ria, and he hoped to Gaea he had not lost her.

[Chii]

Chii glanced down at the broken leg, biting her lip. Slowly, everyone from Ria was migrating toward the promising land of Fyia, friends and foes remeeting, but most of everyone she had remet, had got somewhat hurt or at least had suffered memory loss for a bit.

"I fell asleep in Ria and got here. Actually, I ended up in the middle of Sumpa lake in a large shell with this around my neck." she pulled a thin necklace from out underneath her dress and put the vial back in bag, wrapping it in a cloth to protect it from breaking. "I don't really mind not being fully alive. I've gotten used to it." she said, shrugging, trying to persuade herself she had.

"Saya! Chii! Saya, the phoenix sprite! Is she here? Is she on this planet as well?" she heard him say, the beaming smile on her face dropping. Taken aback by the sudden act of affection for another, it took a couple moments before she attempted to smile.

"I-I'm not quite sure. I haven't seen her . . " she stood up. "The room needs a tid bit of fresh air," she said, opening the windows. " Do you think we should get a doctor for that leg?" she asked.

[Triunis]

Triunis sighed, taking note that he had saddened Chii on two different points. He looked at his leg and stood up slowly. It hurt a little, but he could feel it starting to return to normal.

"I think the leg will be fine. Our broken bones take about as long to heal as a human's scrapes. I'll survive."

He sighed. Saya. He wondered if the sprite was still on Ria, and if she was all right. He focused his attention on Chii again, however, and smiled.

"I am glad to see you are safe, my friend. It would've saddened me to have been informed otherwise."

He looked around him, finally becoming aware of his surroundings.

"Erm, if you have any idea . . . Where exactly am I?"

[Chii]

Banishing all the somewhat saddening thoughts from her head, Chii's bright smile returned to her face.

"Well, you can stand up. That's good. I don't know what happens to me when I get hurt. I've never gotten seriously damaged." she said, shrugging slightly. An even brighter smile came to her face as he said he was glad to see her. She pulled back her hair from her face, idly braiding it.

"Well, we're in Puralgatha, the capital of Zetfa and in someone's house. I think it's his." she said, pointing up to Vahn. "You were on the street and he took you here and put you on the couch." she explained.

[Vahn/Ananias]

"That is true, I was walking into this strange city after my ship crashed and I found myself on the ground after tripping over you friend. The owner of this establishment was more than happy to recieve payment for his house and left without another word."

Vahn looked calmly out the window as he said this, not trying to be rude, but rather pondering to himself on the strangeness of the whole situation. Also on the account of the mysterious force that had crashed his ship.

They talk about being dead, but how? If they were dead would they not be alive as of now? And this girl, she claims to still be dead, this is interesting. Could this planet be able to house the dead? If so, what else could it do.

Vahn noticed his distancing from the two strangers suddenly and swiftly turned about to face them. The smile returning to his face.

"So sorry friends, Let me introduce myself. I am Vahn Callahan, legendary outlaw and spacepirot. I am a hired gun should you need me and if you want your leg healed fast I could do that in a matter of seconds."

[Triunis]

Triunis held up his ring and middle finger in a sign of greeting.

"Lord Triunis of Kasyune, but 'Triunis' will suffice. And my leg will be fine, thank you."

He looked over at Chii.

"So . . . We are not on Ria. Where then, pray tell, are we?"

He seemed somewhat hopeful. He was sad that he'd left Saya behind, but he knew that the galaxy could produce no being sweeter than the one that stood before him.

As long as Chii is here, I have a chance. She's always so kind and helpful . . .

[Chii]

"How'd your ship crash?" she asked Vahn curiously, knowing that there happened to be malevolent people who shot down air ships for 'fun'.

"I think the planet we're on is called Fyia." she said uncertainly, looking up at Vahn for confirmation. She ran her hands through her hair, pulling it back, revealing large, metallic half pink, half white cat-like ears.

"I've been here only a bit myself, I'm still a tad unfamiliar with the names of places." she said. Remembering something, she took off the bag from her back, and took out three large packets of cotton candy.

"Now you're alive, you can have cotton candy, right?" she said cheerfully, throwing a packet to Truinis and another to Vahn, keeping the last one for herself. Carefully opening the package, she took a large fluff and stuck it her mouth, letting the sugar disolve.

[Vahn/Ananias]

Vahn looked sadly down at his feet as she asked him about his ship. He had loved that ship, once belonging to his family he had barely managed to tear himself away from it with the promise that he would someday find the repairs for it. He also pondered at the topic of the planet.

Fyia... yes, that was its name. I heard it ringing through my head as I started plummeting. It was so loud, I couldn't even hear the sound of the explosion as i hit. I was here to escape the police. And then...

"I was flying over the planet trying to find a place to land when an unseen force hit my ship. And yes, this planet goes by the name of Fyia. This planet in itself is a mystery to me."

Vahn smiled once more as he lightly tasted the sweet spun sugar from the kind person. His eyes widened as it touched his tongue.

"Gaaaaaaah! This is so good! I've never tasted anything like this before! It also probably helps that I havn't eaten for several days. but..... Gaaaaah!"

[Triunis]

Triunis shrugged as he caught the packet.

"I suppose so. This will be my first food in years."

He tore open the packet with his sharp claws and carefully put a piece of the cotton candy into his mouth.

Su-gar. Human food. I don't think I've ever actually had any . . .

He felt the food dissolve on his scaly tongue, and he put more in his mouth.

"Not bad, friend. I think that Kasyuni bog leech is better, but then again, I'm biased."

He looked over at the tall man who was obsessing over the sugary substance.

"Mmm. It seems I am not the only one who is here because he was forced to be . . ."
