*blushes* oh gosh, um, ah. . . here's more!

An' yes that's absolutely fine, Predator



Rroyvan glanced up, shading his eyes against the fierce glare of the tropical sun. Nothing.

For several days he and his sister had taken turns scanning the sky, ever since news had come that Zanzibar had been seen with the rebelling slaves.

"By all the Faders, I hope he wasn't taken," Rroyvan sighed. His sister nodded slowly. Velveetza, his youngest sibling, was the only sister he had now. The elder had gone to the city, and hadn't been heard from in years.

"Rroyvan, maybe you should go," she said. He gave her a wan smile and closed his eyes wearily.

"Perhaps you are right. You will watch?"

"Of course. Go." She shoved him gently towards the damp green forests, and he laughingly obeyed. She watched him go and then turned her gaze to the skies.



His first indication was the dark shadow. His second was the soft rumble of an engine. His third- the choking wind that came in the strange ship's wake.

Rroyvan had been in the forest for over an hour, and now this. He sighed and prepared to follow the black ship that slowly cruised overhead, the huge top fin jutting up into the air, the engines glowing. With a start he recognized the type- a modified Darkspray.



"There." Copper carefully manuevered the Assassin over the small clearing, and then gently set down. Zanzibar lightly leaped down from the ramp, and coolly glanced back.

"Thank you. I shall see if I can find my family. Then I will return." With that, he turned and vanished into the dark depths of the trees.
