The Forgotten Zodiac

((I guess that works. Is it sad that I'm also obsessed with my Mary Poppins signature?))

"It's okay though. I'm not evil. And Sanaki's not evil. And you're not evil. And Israel's not evil. And Timothy's not evil. And mommy's not evil. And-" Tyler continued rambling, naming the various people he didn't belive to be evil.

((I wonder about you sometimes.))

Kai smiled. "Yes, you're right," He cut him short.

((B-But... Mary Poppins is awesome. JUST A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR HELPS THE MEDICINE GO DOWN! THE MEDICINE GO DOWN! MEDICINE GO DOWN!))

"Where are we going? Is it gunna be fun?"

((B-But... Mary Poppins is awesome. JUST A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR HELPS THE MEDICINE GO DOWN! THE MEDICINE GO DOWN! MEDICINE GO DOWN!))

"Where are we going? Is it gunna be fun?"

"We go where we're safe. Kilvas," Kai said.

"I thought we left there. Remember? Israel's uncle was mean. He hurted you. That's 'cause he's a meany face."

Kai looked to Israel. "Maybe Phoenices, then?" he asked. Israel nodded.

((Phoenices is the hawk island, right?))

Tyler cocked his head and looked over to Israel. "Which one's Fo-eat-nices? That doesn't sound like a very nice place..."

((yes.))

"That's the kingdom of the Hawk Tribe. Hopefully, Tibarn won't hold my uncle's reputation against me," Israel said.

Tyler glowered ahead. "Your uncle is /stupid/. You're not like him at all. I don't think they will. That wouldn't make sense, 'cause your uncle, the meanie king, hurted Kai and people who hurt Kai should be locked in a box under water far away and never come back. Ever."

Kai smiled, looking over to Isabella. Israel nodded to Tyler. "Thanks, I think," he said.

"It just means that you're obviously adopted, 'cause you can't be really related to your uncle. He's too mean."

Isabella smiled back at Kai, not saying anything as she was unused to flight after so long in a cage.

Kai quirked an eyebrow at her, the action questioning if she was up for flying.

Israel laughed, but in his raven form, it sounded light a series of light caws. "Right, right," he nodded.

Isabella grinned again and shook her head at Kai. "I'm fine. He's not- He's not that heavy."

"It's true!" Tyler insisted. "There's no way he's your real uncle."

Kai nodded. "Tell me if otherwise," he said.

Israel sighed. "I'm sorry to have to tell you that you're wrong," he said.

Isabella nodded. "I-I will."

Tyler sighed, as if explaining something difficult to a small child. "Israel. I already told you. He's not your real uncle. It doesn't work like that. If one person is nice and the other one is mean, they can't be related. It would break the universe."

Kai flew on.

"I wish that were true," he said.

Tyler stared at Israel, aghast. "You wish you could break the universe? That's not very nice, Israel. Breaking the universe kills everyone. Even the dragons. If you start killing dragons, I won't be your friend any more, and that will make you sad. I think."

"No, no, I wish that Naesala weren't my uncle," he said in explaination.

"Oh." Tyler nodded. "That's okay then. He isn't. Are we there yet? 'Cause I'm boredboredbored." He paused, cocking his head to the side and acting as if he were thinking. "I KNOW! Kai can drop me, and then catch me again."
