After the whole brother-sister reunion thing, we finally got to know each other. "So...you're tall.." I said. Buzzard nodded. "Yeah. I'm tall," He said. Silence. "You're hair is long..." I said slowly. Buzzard nodded once more. "Yep," Awkward. I was just curious on how the fuck he's healed. Yes, he's changed. A lot. The last time I...'saw' him, he was short, and he had happy little buck teeth. Now it's like he's a different person. Did that healer person , like, make a twin? 'Cause this was just fucked up. So I asked him. "So..how come you're healed? You seem different," I coughed. Buzzard took one glance at me and sighed. "Well...Our house burned down. So we went to the nearest place to find help, which was some kind of mansion. This nurse told me I might have slight changes after the surgery, so..." He shrugged. Huh. Speaking of a mansion, I wonder how the others are.

HOLD IT.

Did he say..we? "We? Who's we?" I asked. Buzzard looked at me and smiled weakly, and he shuffled his thumbs. "The others. Spark, me, and Prim. Yeah. We're fine," he said. Oh. My. God. My heart raced faster than ever before. They're...alive!? I couldn't believe it. They're alive! They're ALIVE! I couldn't help it. I tackled Buzzard playfully and hugged him. I know he didn't like hugs and shit, but this time my body forced me to. He quickly pushed me of, his face cringed in embarrassment. I giggled as I stood up. "Where do you live?" I asked, stretching my arms. Buzzard stood up as well. "In here, the Water Kingdom," he said, "I know, you expected it to be an island in the middle of the ocean or something," he added quickly. I take a quick look around. True. Everything seemed like ice and snow to me. "And I know you're gonna ask, but, Spark lives in the Earth Kingdom now," he pointed over to the west, "and Prim lives in the Air Kingdom," he pointed to the east. I'm guessing he aced geography here. "Then that must be the Fire Kingdom," I said, glancing over to the north. Buzzard nodded and smiled. "Yep," we both looked at each other.

Suddenly, Buzzard frowned and looked guilty. "Sorry about the arena thing..." He said quietly. I scoffed. "It's alright. Besides, I didn't die, right?" Buzzard looked at me and had a worried expression. What? What is it? Does he have to do something with the arena? Never mind. I give him a small pat on the shoulder and I left, going north to the Fire Kingdom. Not sure why, but I hope they'll welcome me. Besides, I belong there, since I have the ability of fire. Okay, mission accomplished. I saw Buzzard. He's fine, healthy I guess. That's great. All I need now is to check on the others. But first, I wanna check out my Kingdom, to see if that insane King died. Let's hope he did.

As I walked further away from the Water Kingdom, the snow on the ground began to disappear into soft, green grass. Guess I'm getting closer. The scent of some kind of steak came across my nose. Ooh..that reminds me. I haven't eaten in days. After the thought of food my stomach growled. I guess I'll have a bite to eat, now that I'm out of the blue. I got of course and headed straight for the woods. I stopped to a slow pace, listening to any noise. I'm an expert at hunting, not to brag. As I went deeper in, I heard a crunch. I swiftly turned around and found a duck. Perfect. I slink back into the shadows, trying not to let it notice me. I slowly walked up to it, and struck. A flame bursted out of my hand, scorching the duck. It's last words where a decent 'quack'. Shame. I put out the fire and grabbed it. Seemed like a meaty duck, I'd say.

I sat down near a river bank and ate the duck quickly. Hey, I'm hungry. I grew up with Primrose. If you didn't eat fast, you didn't eat. I stood up, and sighed in satisfaction. Good meal. Sorry, duck. It was your day to die. I continued to walk over to the Fire Kingdom.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" I heard a guard yell in red armor. He had a spear in his hands, pointing right at me. I quickly raised my hands in panic. Holy shit. Was I gonna be imprisoned again? "Name?" He growled. I sighed. "Milli Elizabeth Autto, age 19," I said. The guard suspiciously scanned me with his orange eyes and lowered the spear. "Welcome back," he said, smiling. That's just creepy. He let me in. Okay, so...I'm in the Kingdom now?
