Eskai nods" Well I wanted to go anyways" Mori sighed" And I Wanted to know more about your Clan and Tribe" Gabriel then smiled at Ranko" Then its settled" Ranko had smiled back at him" Yup" she then thought to herself" Boy these Cloudstone boys are so Adorable, when they smile and even get shy" Alastair then looks at Ranko" What was that Ranko?" Alastair then crossed his arms as Ranko crossed her arms" Nothing, well I wonder if Silver Whitefeather and Ace Claw would be up for tagging along" Damon nods" well They are waiting outside for us at the moment, so let's go see them"
"Later"
Silver sat on a bench outside of the Stoneray Inn as he did, he looks over at Ace" So Ace do you really think Ranko would allow us to come with her and her friends?" Ace nods" I hope so, Damon was going to ask for us"
Alastair looks at them" Hey guys, Ranko said its okay for you two, to tag along" Silver and ace is face brighten up and smiled back" Right on" they both said as Ranko walks out looking at them " So there's a place I have to go, before we start our journey" Eskai then puts his hands in his pocket" And where would that be?" Mori stares at Ranko as she crossed her arms" Well I may or may not have a lead on where about my parents are, but I do know someone who will"
Ace nods" even if you don't, I have a special ability that can help you out, so let me know when you need me" Silver smirks" And I could be at help from the sky in case there is trouble." Ranko smiles at them "Well it is settled let's get going" Alastair raised his voice" Hey just wait" Ranko turns to Alastair then he walks up to her looking down at her" I have something for you, Our grandfather gave it to me before he told you about your clan" Ranko looks up at him" Okay" she said softly as Alastair digs in his pocket taking out a locket and puts it around her" I had this fixed last minute before the ceremony, Your mother had given it to our grandpa to give it too you once you knew about your traits"
Ranko looks at it then hugs Alastair" Thank you dear brother"
After we left the village silver was flying in the air while Me, Eskai, mori and ace Were walking on the old trail I had look around then Eskai glance at me" So Where are we going?" Ranko crossed her arms" Well theirs a place I wanted to check; it's called Emerald Falls" Mori looks over at Ranko" um the liberty palace of knowledge?" Ranko nods" Yes that's the place, how'd you know?" Eskai crossed is arms" What are we going to find there?" Ranko glance at Eskai " Well Eskai It's a place where" Before Ranko said anything, Silver then raised his voice" Its where all the books and archives saved for centuries before us, Just so you know" Ace yawns" Sounds boring to me but, sounds to me that you and mori will be needed for this task" Eskai sticks a thumb out" Yeah me and ace can keep a look out ,and what not" Ranko sighed then smiled" Sounds fine by me"
Silver looks around from the air as mori thought to himself" How can we hear silver when he is up the air?" Ace and Eskai yelled" how can we hear you when you are in the air silver?" Ranko looked puzzled" That's right, how can that be?" Silver flew around them" Well it's a special ability, That was pass on threw the main branch of my family, I can connect my energy with yours equally, as long as its someone I trust" Ace smiled" Well that's bad ass right there my friend" Ranko looks at silver with amazement as Eskai and mori looks over at Ranko then at silver, Mori then tilts his head to the side thinking to himself once again" Wow he is amazing, I hope he doesn't steal my Ranko away" Eskai then looks at mori then Smirks" So mori well your helping Ranko, you should tell her" Ranko looks at Mori's eyes then blushed looking away as Mori turns red glaring at Eskai" You and I both know Alastair will kill me if I Spoke my mind eh" Ranko smiled then looks forward" It's almost day light" silver glances down at then lands on top of a rock forming into his human form" Well nothing up a head just a resting point" ace then stops to look at silver with dread as Eskai and mori stood there in shock, Mori yelled What in the hell!" Ranko then looks at them then over at silver" What's wrong…" she then turns red then she turns around about to run, but bumps to mori falling on top of him, As she did Her face was red looking into his eyes, Ranko thought to herself" Oh my gosh I'm so close to Mori" As Eskai and ace froze looking at silver, Mori was looking into Ranko's eyes" She is so close to me"
Silver then yells" I'm sorry guy's I forgot about my formation is off!" Ace then Growls" Silver that was a dirty trick No one didn't want to see you naked!" Eskai yells as well" Puts some clothes on!" Silver yells back" I just did put my clothes on while you guys were yelling at me!"
Mori then softly sighed as he looks at Ranko with a smile" her eyes are as beautiful as I imagined" Ranko then smiled softly at him" I didn't think this would happen" she then whispers to him" I'm sorry" Mori then slowly gets up as Ranko got off of him he then glance at Ranko" Well damn silver" he then said jokingly, Ranko chuckles at Mori.
as Eskai and silver then sneers at Mori" So This Cloudstone is also in love with beautiful Ranko Beaver" silver then thought to himself As Eskai then Looks over at Mori and Ranko" Hey Are you two okay?, I see my bestie run you over mori" Ace then sighed then Shrugs" Let's just get to the check point" Mori nods" Yes let's do this" Mori stood there then walks away from them as the guys follow them, Ranko breathe then followed beside them" once I find my family's traditions I will surely restore my clan and make sure it doesn't go into disaster" She thought to herself
Later on, in the morning
Vash sat on a stump looking at the lake as Mori, Eskai, ace and silver Glance at him, Ranko them looks at him" Vash Hart?" Vash them looks at them" Why Ranko what are you doing out here?" Ranko then walks a bit closer to him" We are heading to" Before she could say anything Eskai Yells" Ranko Our tribe rules please don't go against them, well…Make us go against them" Ranko glance at Eskai then sighed" Vash we are passing by here, as a tribe, Can we pass?"
Vash then looks at her." A tribe, you say? But really now Before you pass tell me one thing, What's the main thing the vine clan do? The guys sneered at Vash as Ranko stared at him" well Vash I'm not too sure, but I will as soon as I reach the archive places" Silver then shrugs" I'm not too sure about this Vash guy, he is up to something" silver thought to himself as ace glares at him" Well we should be getting closer I can smell a village nearby." Vash looks at them then looks at Ranko" In due time you will know what they are hiding from you" he whispered as he got up from the stump" good luck you guys, and pretty Ranko" he had a smirk as he glances at her walking away from them
Eskai bites his lip as mori looks at Vash" Boy he is something eh?
Silver then walks to them" Well let's go before morning is over." Ace sighed" yeah, how long is it going to be looking for these books?" Ranko then blushed a little" We will find out when we get there"
It was about 10:25 in the morning that, We arrived at Emerald Falls I had sat on a bench as the Guys got some breakfast, Just across from where I was sitting from a food vendor, Eskai then walks to me sitting next to me" Are you sure you don't want some, All the food is super good around these parts"
Mori looks over them then sighed" Why doesn't Eskai just admit that he likes her"
he then thinks to himself as he, sat next to them handing Ranko some potato spirals on a stick" Try this it's not that spicy or salty" Ranko looks at it them takes the potato spiral from Mori" Well I guess I could try" Eskai then looks at Mori then ate his sandwich" Damn mori I was going to share with her" he thought to himself as silver eat some chocolate dipped strawberries" They had potato spirals?" Ranko then nods and smiled" These are pretty good, but It taste like." Mori looks over her then Eskai looks at her" You're getting hives Ranko!" He got up fast looking at her arms and legs"
Mori Then jolts up" What? Are you serious" Silver looks at the potatoes" I heard that the Vine Clan, cannot eat veggies of any kind"?
Ranko then sighed" Sorry I forgot that Alastair told me not to eat veggies or Meat" Ace then looks at her" Then what in the hell do you eat?" Mori then got some cream out and puts some on her arms and legs" This cream is good for hives and any other skin types of things" Ranko nods at Mori as she replied to Ace" Well, come to think of it, I don't think I ever ate anything, but this thing my brother and mother make is pretty good, Oh and my grandpa makes this special soup" Silver then sighed" I wanted you to try these chocolate dip strawberries, but I'm not too sure now" Ranko looks at mori and Eskai" Well We have two Medical men here, I wouldn't mind trying it out"
Eskai sighed" Well I don't mind, Just wait till your hives are gone" Mori smiled as Ranko looks over at him" well lets go to the archive area, the sooner the better once these hives go away" Ace yawns then crossed his arms" Well Me And Eskai will be nearby here exploring the village area"
Eskai then smiled" Well Keep an eye out on Ranko, Okay Silver and mori" He said mischievously Ranko then turns her head then glances at Eskai" What's that supposed to mean Eskai?" Mori then got up then puts his hands in his pocket as Silver crossed his arms" Don't worry about Eskai"
Silver had sat next to the window of the library looking threw some old books as mori looks around the shelfs getting some books about clans from the past, He sat next to silver" I think I might of found something here" Silver then looks over at him" Okay, So did I Mori" he then kind of had a tense voice" Mori then tilts his head to him" Are you all right silver?, You seem tense"
Ranko then looks at a map then nods at the stranger, as she did, she puts the map in her bag without silver and mori knowing
Silver looks over at Ranko" Hey Ranko we found something" Ranko then walks to them looking over them" So what does it say about the Veil clan" Mori them stares at the book that he found" Well mainly the Veil clan Was the feared by all nations because, they can copy someone else is powers and they had some mortal powers that was not normal and they became something else like…" Ranko looks at the book that he had" Is that a picture of the witiko?" Silver nods" Yes Seems like the Veil clan has also changed their last name into Veil, it was once called the Witiko clan they were from sikachu, The place of the witiko"
Ranko then nods" So veil or witako" Silver then looks at her" Do you know what they eat?" Ranko then widens her eyes" No way…I can't be a cannibal" Mori then looks at silver" come on tell us" Silver then smirks at them" well the legend says that the witako eats people or animals, so tell me Ranko what does your family feed you back at home?"
Mori then looks at Ranko shock as Ranko then thought to herself" All I had was duck soup or deer meat smoked hickory style and fruits" then she looks at them noticing that silver twitch" Well I am allergic to potatoes, is why I broke out in hives, I can eat anything else above all" Mori then chuckles at silver" Why did you twitch silver" Ranko giggles as silver then cross his arms" Shut up, I just thought. Well you know, Ranko eats flesh and blood people and animals" Eskai laughs as he walks towards them" That's only a legend Silver, Ranko would've been banned a long time ago if she did" Ace smiled" So did you find what you are looking for?" Ranko nods" Yes, I have we will head to sikachi lake" Mori looks at her" Isn't that place ban from everyone" Silver then thinks" Why would she want to go there?" Eskai then looks at Ranko" that's a little too far to go to isn't it?" Ranko sighed" Well I can go alone as well if you guys are too afraid to go to sikachi with me" Eskai crossed his arms then glance at her" I'm not afraid, But what will Alastair say if we can longer" Ranko then arch one of her eye brows" what's Alastair got to do with my quest, It's not his business"
Mori then shrugs" I Know some short cuts going to sikachi, we can go towards my village then before we hit the resting point, we can take this a banned area that my tribe has cut off" Eskai pinched his lips together as silver looks at him" so how'd you know theirs short cuts to sikachi lake?" Ranko gave a half smile as mori looks at them" Well It gets boring at my village, just training and working so I decided that I can make maps and discover new lands and areas" Ace smirks" That's neat Cloudstone boy"
Ranko then nods" So I got a massager to send my brother a letter stating that, we will looking for more clues about my parents is where abouts, that way he won't have to worry about us and all"
Silver then sighed as Eskai narrowed his eyes" I don't really like the sounds of it but Ill tag along just so I know Ranko is safe"
Later
Mori was leading the way to his village, just leaving firefly valley was a pain in the ass, so much hills everywhere we went too, I really thought this trip would have been simple, but it was worth it in every way getting to know Mori all over again and two new friends that been really nice to me.
Eskai then looks at Ranko as she was walking beside mori he thought to himself" I've been friends with her since childhood and she doesn't even look at me as anything else, just a friend" Silver looked at Eskai as he cocked his head to him whispering to him" It seems to me you're interested in Miss Ranko as well?" Eskai blushed then sneered at silver" shut up silver you are pushing you're limits" Silver then smiled as Ranko looks at him" silver's dimpled smile is so calming to see" she thought to herself as Mori stops to look around" We should be there before the late evening" Ranko crossed her arms then takes out a map" Mori can you do me a" Before she could say anything Vash then stood their firmly looking at them" You know If you go directly towards that area near the Cloudstone territory you'll end up meeting up with some blood thrusting vampires" Eskai glares at him" Why do you keep following us?" ace smells the air" He has got a point, I just got their scent and someone familiar." Mori then glance at him as Ranko looks Vash is blue eyes,
Vash looks at her" I'm not following you guys, I just seem to be running into you everywhere I go, beside I'm looking for the fortress of the place of the witako tribe, to see if they can help me with something"
Ranko hair flow in the wind as Vash stared at her Mori then crossed his arm" We would be going against tribe laws, if we ask him to tag along, but then again, it won't be a good idea since he has been looking at Ranko" Mori thought to himself as Silver looks around" Let's go before these blood suckers find us" Ace smells the air once more then nods as Eskai looks at mori" Lead the way mori"
Vash then walks away" I'll lead these fiends away from you guys, maybe then we will meet" Ranko looks away as Mori ran on an old trail" Lets run it will take a few days to reach our destination" Silver looked at Vash" Thank you Vash"
As the guys ran beside mori Ranko was next to mori as they ran
Later
It was late in the evening, we ran till we got tired, so we had stop by a very old resting point to rest as they got their Gabriel stood their glaring at us, Mori then crossed his arms" What are you doing here big brother?" Mori gave a puzzled look as Eskai looks around" I have a feeling that my horn dog brother is here?" Silver then flinch as Alastair was beside him" Ranko how far are you going to take this!" Ranko then arched an eyebrow at Alastair" Until I Know my Clan is where abouts and maybe find the beaver tribe area, I will not stop till I know what happen to my parents"
Damon rap his arm around Eskai" Will you stop calling me a horn dog dear little brother" Eskai then sighed as Alastair looks at Ranko" this is where I draw the line, either you come home and continue being a Stoneray and keep it that way, or you can go by yourself and find out this trip was for nothing and not ever come back to the village" Mori then looks at Alastair" What do you mean?, Are you casting out Ranko just cause she wants to find her real parents"
Gabriel then shrugs" Our laws were made as soon as you guys left with Ranko, she has two choices since our elders don't want nothing to do with any clans" Ranko crossed her arms and sat down" Look you're not going to like my answer, anyways so let's leave it, at that"
