Recoiling from the flavour overload, I say "This is the best." Looking over at the man who gave this to me, I see he is talking to someone, so I say, "Is anything wrong?""No, I was just checking up with him."Anto rubbing his full belly says, "Orb I am full, now let's go play.""We don't have time to waste, we need to find the missing man." The faster we get this little hunt over with the better."You say that but you have been messing around too.""Only because you kept complaining.""I never did such a thing.""Yes, you did!""No, I didn't."As me and Anto continue to argue my brother grabs me and puts me on his shoulders saying, "Yamal likes to mess around during the day, I am sure he will be in all the fun locations around the city. So, the best way to find him is to hit up all those spots.""That sounds like an excuse to mess around."Snickering the man says, "Why can't it be both!"Sighing, I say, "Let me down and lead the way."Dropping me off his shoulder he takes us, into a

Φ As I approach Cyrus and Atalanta, I see a beautiful-looking woman beside him, but the thing that I notice first is the fact that this woman has one horn on the right side of her head.Seeing this I run up to Cyrus and I ask, "Is this her!""O-O-Orb this is my sister.""Nice to meet you, my name is Paribanou, and I thank you for being one of my brother's friends, also sorry for all the stress he has caused you.""He hasn't caused any stress at all in fact he has saved me multiple times."With a giggle, she says, "Oh really, I wouldn't have expected such things from Cyrus."As she talks, I notice her heartbeat is skyrocketing, so I ask, "Is everything ok.""Of course, it is, I have just been reunited with my adorable brother," She says giving Cyrus a hug.As Scheherazade approaches, Paribanou bows and says, "Oh, lady Scheherazade what brings you here?""We happen to be looking for these two intruders.""Oh, I wanted to talk to you about that, you see this boy here is my brother."With

-Break-Φ Standing outside of Yamal's house, I take a second to look at it. The house is rather nicely built, but to be honest I haven't seen a bad house at all in Jedidiah. They are all fairly big, and all of the bigger ones I have seen always have more people living in them, it seems house size is equally distributed with family size.This country is really well run, but I could say the same about Maples Village of Aplos and even Skydust, I guess small communities are just a lot easier to run.Walking towards Yamal's door with the bag of goodies, I knock and stand there awkwardly for a moment as I hear Yamal's footsteps bring him closer to the door. The moment he opens the door, I say, "Sorry about yesterday," while holding up the bags of goodies.Giving me a death stare, Yamal says with a lazy voice, "Come on in bastard."I expected him to be angrier, it seems this is going well!Following him into his house, I see his daughter Raqiue walk up to him and ask with a bright smile, "Ba

"What's with you hanging your head so low, come on and call already, you don't plan to fold, do you?"Behind me, one of my friends says, "Amer would never fold, even if his life depends on it!"With a face of dread, I look at my friend as another one of them says, "Yeah even if he has to go home broke forever, he would never fold."You fucking bastards have just made it so much harder to walk out of here."That's good to hear, because you were just running your lips a second ago, if you folded you would be a giant clown," she says with a smile.Behind me, one of my friends says, "The one laughing, in the end, will be Amer, isn't that right guys?""YEAH!" My friends scream. Soon after that, they start cheering my name over and over, "AMER, AMER, AMER, AMER!"Hearing this I start to feel invigorated, what the hell am I getting worked up about, there is no way I can lose with this hand, I have just been letting this little girl get into my head. I am the greatest gambler ever to be born.

Every day from that day on I worked. An uneducated man such as myself would have struggled to find work, so Tarina's father allowed me to work for him. He was a merchant, and under the I began to work up the 1 million Lupas I needed to pay him for his daughter.I would go all across Terrafide to sell his goods as a travelling merchant, I would also go to both of the great port cities of Deno and Cordum to sell goods. Standing in Cordum the city where adventures began filled me with hope.But the disappointment I faced with my job was immeasurable."Hey, you how about you buy our fine goods.""Don't bother me.""What about you, I believe this amulet would go quite well with your dress."Putting up her hand, she says, "Please don't breath the same air as me peasant."Every day I would get talked down to or ignored, as I tried to sell goods. The only solace I had was when I returned back to Bêqîmet and got to see Tarina again."Did you just come out of the oven? Because you're hot.""Oh,
