Chapter Twelve: Night of the Second Day
Quill had covered up the entrance the cavern, but the commotion of pirates outside was still unnerving. The ritos above had been working all afternoon on their crashed air ship and at least once they had been heard walking right by the entrance in the ceiling.
Vean hated being trapped here; every minute seemed like an hour. He picked a small rock off the ground, weighing it in his hand before adding it to his ammunition pouch for his slingshot. Komali and Quill were eyeing his every move suspiciously from the light of their campfire. That hardly seemed fair, given that they had saved their lives, but t

Chapter Eleven: Masquerade
“So what do you know about the masks?” Yoru asked as Kuro was sweeping the shop floor. The boy had been following Kuro and watching him carefully since he arrived and seemed intent on keeping the young man in his sights. That was more than understandable with his friends missing once again. He was going to have to start charging Tetra for babysitting if this kept up.
“I believe it has to be the influence of a stronger spell cast over this whole town,” Kuro answered as he moved a couple of potted plants aside. “Maybe it’s a side effect of whatever encases this place in a protectiv

Chapter Ten: The Truth of the Matter
The cool pale purple hue of the tunnel walls made the dim space all the more somber as Vean followed Kafei and Skull Kid towards the canyon. He could vaguely recall coming this way with Rohe just last night, though the whole ordeal had blurred in his mind.
They finally reached the small entrance into the gorge where the miniblins had attacked and Vean glanced around nervously for any sign of Kurai. Surely the witch hadn’t given up looking for him. He sincerely hoped that his friends really did know of a safe way past all the dangers ahead of them.
Kafei glanced around to make sure that no one was ar

Chapter Nine: A New Game
Yoru crept his way out from under the bed once he had finished his breakfast. He walked over and looked out the window. He was really starting to wonder if Vean was ever going to come back for him. Where could he have gone after the boy had fallen asleep last night? Had the evil sorceress lady gotten him? Maybe Kuro really was evil and had captured him.
Adventuring across the ocean wasn’t anything like he had imagined. It was all just more escaping from one place to the next. He felt he’d been running ever since he was banished from his home in the desert. He’d run from home to the palace and now fr

Chapter Eight: Dawn of the Second Day
Vean turned over in his straw bed, feeling too tired and sore to get up. Link could do enough damage when he wasn’t under the control of some laughing sorcerer and Vean hadn’t exactly fought back.
A rooster caw sounded and Vean sat up in annoyance. He rubbed his eyes, trying to clear his head. The room he was in was cramped and cluttered, rough drawings of grassy fields and oceans covering most of the wood paneling. It was his new friend Kafei’s room.
He started to feel a little claustrophobic in the small room so he made his way over to the door and opened it just a crack so that he c

Chapter Seven: Dozing Off
Vean’s usually sketchy memory was now filled with recollections of his parents. Things that he only remembered vaguely before came to him with crystal clarity and things he had forgotten long before coming down with amnesia returned to him as well. The man before him was more than a memory though. This man was a living breathing image of his dad. His hair was long, brown, and flopped over his forehead. His eyes were dark green and very expressive under his thick eyebrows.
“Your dad?” the man said as he looked over Vean’s head back in the direction they had come. “Was he in the canyon ba

Chapter Six: A Game of Tag
Vean thought back to the times when he had nearly killed Link as Malum and almost felt that this was some sort of payback. Link charged forward and swung his blade at his brother with a broad swing. Vean dove aside, but he then had to roll sideways as Link brought his blade straight down on him.
“Link, what are you doing?” Vean asked as he got to his feet and backed away. “It’s me, your brother Vean.”
There wasn’t any change in Link’s blank expression. The Fierce Deity before him hardly looked like his brother. The masked sorcerer’s annoying high pitched laugh rang th

Link found the black sky less bizarre now that dusk was approaching, but he did sorely miss the stars. He had run after Vean when his brother had bolted, but there wasn’t any sign of him outside the bar. Neither was there any sign of Vean’s new companion; Yoru.
“Don’t worry so much, hero,” Tetra said, lightly punching him in the shoulder. “Knowing your brother, he’ll be back when he needs help. He’s just off somewhere sulking.”
Tetra was now leading Link across the square from the Milk Bar to the Stock Pot Inn. “Why are we coming here?” Li

Chapter Four: Shadowing
Upon entering the Milk Bar Vean had had to follow Tetra down a wooden staircase that ended in front of an empty stage. A man stood between them and the bar on their right, looking somewhat angry with their presence. “Sorry kids, but you’re not old enough to come in here,” he explained. “Come back when you’re older or when you have yourself a membership.”
At this, Tetra pulled out a cloth mask that looked like the head of a cow. “Kuro recommended this place to us,” she boasted. “He said that we could put it on his tab too.”
“Oh! Kuro sent you?” the

Chapter Three: The Missing Link
Yoru’s stomach grumbled as he was dragged into another part of town by Vean. Far too much had happened in the last forty-eight hours and he was beginning to think that the freedom he’d always dreamed about wasn’t worth all this trouble. Even without his mean older sister around, he’d been caught in the snow, nearly been drowned, and narrowly missed being killed in a sandstorm. How was a guy supposed to get a decent meal with all this nonsense around every corner?
Vean’s friend Tetra lead them to a part of town that wasn’t walled off by stone, but by cliff sides that were cov
