Chapter 1: "I thought I was supposed to be in Baron!" ----------------------------------------------------- The Sprite appeared in front of a grave upon the end of his teleportation. He looked at the grave and saw the word "General Leo" but had no clue who "General Leo" was. "Who's he?" thought Lile. "General Leo? Hmmmm. Leo... Leo - hey, I remember that name. Wasn't there a lion called 'Leo the Lion?' Aiieeeeee - there's a lion buried here and he's a general too! Mwaa, ha, ha, that's quite a story." Lile saw a nearby inn and decided he was tired. He was still wondering why Locke wasn't with him. Lile strolled towards the inn and entered. Inside was an old man who didn't look cheerful. Lile looked up and asked, "Is this place named Baron?" The innkeeper looked down and quietly murmured to himself, "Oh no, another dweeb." He then raised his voice and answered, "No, this town is named Thamasa." "Thamasa? Hey, I'm supposed to be in Baron. That teleporter tricked me... great, tricked by a teleporter." The innkeeper was confused by Lile's response. "How much is it to stay for a night?" questioned a tired Lile. "Since you're not a local, that'll be 2000 GPs a night." "2000 GPs a night? I don't have that, but I have a piece of bread in my bag." The innkeeper murmured quietly to himself again, "He's poor, a midget with long feet, and a dweeb." He then spoke up again. "If you don't have 2000 GPs, I'm sorry. Let's see what you have in that bag of yours. If I like it, I'll let you sleep in the stable out in the back." Before opening the bag, Lile requested, "Ok, you can have anything in there except for my friend, Undine," and then proceeded to open the bag. The innkeeper felt a rush of magic from the blue little creature within the bag. He knew what magic was, for he used to possess magic before Kefka and the statues had perished. But how could it be? Magic? The innkeeper, wishing for the Sprite to stay until the elder could examine the creature, said, "Uhhh, I change my mind. You can stay here in the inn for 1 GP a night." "But I don't have that either. I have a piece of bread if you want." Without delay, the innkeeper responded, "Deal, I'll take your bread." So Lile opened the door to the room, slipped into a bed and slept heartily.
