A random chapter from a book I'm writing

[mystical-chickn.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm new, obviously. I started writing this book as a short story in about 2001 or '02 (which was actually based on a short story I wrote when I was thirteen), and then I wrote a sequel to it. The sequel kept getting longer and longer, so I decided to change some things about the end of the first story and the beginning of the second, and put them both together. When it kept getting still longer, I decided to cut the story up into chapters. I'm currently on chapter 16. I've decided to post chapter 5, which I think I wrote about four or five years ago, so I think I was about 24 or 25 when I wrote it. I uploaded what I had so far to fictionpress.com back in 2005, but I can't log into the site anymore.

Some background for context before the cut:
Genre: Fantasy fiction.
Vru and Emyll are from Mala'hek, a continent on an unnamed planet. Mala'hekians all have pale-blue skin (about sky color) and wings. I never imagined any particular kind of wing, so you can imagine whatever kind you want. They are also rather short; the average height of a Mala'hekian is about three and a half feet high. Emyll, the antagonist, killed Vru's lovemate, Gaira, and she stole Vru's sword to do so. For her crimes, she had her wings torn off and was banished to the planet Dalah and put in prison. Vru is currently traveling around his planet (despite his people's legends that the ocean surrounding Mala'hek would kill one instantly if one touches it; Vru finds out first-hand that it isn't true) looking for new lands; and the first one he comes across is the island of Poru, on which dwells a race of people who all have green skin and whitish-yellow hair. Vru quickly becomes friends with a Porun girl, Ika, and after Vru stays on Poru for several weeks (and teaches Ika his language), they travel across the ocean together. Raito Seylh is Mala'hekian for "Death Ocean" and Guga-ta-Rie is Porun for "Black Waters," but they are talking about the same ocean. (Rorru is Ika's sister and Kin-lat is their grandfather, and also the chief of the island of Poru.)

( Chapter 6, only because chapter 5 is rather short. This one is too, I think... )
