Subject: [FFML] [Ranma/Multiple Crossover] Enemies of the Crystal State,
chapter 2(part 1/2)

The three travelers walked along the long abandoned mountainside road{; :}

which

was in severe disrepair, composed of cracks and crevices with small

patches

of uneven-road in-between.  Their path was bounded on the right by a
guardrail, heavily twisted and missing several long sections, overlooking

a

deep valley.

Hakuta was the next town, still a good sixty kilometers from the last road
sign they had {past by : passed}.

"Neo-Queen Serenity used the Silver {Imperial : Imperium} Crystal to do

this.  She had to

clear the air first and then she healed the trees.  It made everything
healthy, even spurring the trees to grow to adult status quickly. " Ranma
ignored the note of annoyance, or impatience evident in the woman's voice,
curious about what she was talking about.

"Magic, huh...  Well... I guess I'll have to see those {tree : trees}

someday."

Minako watched as Ranma ate quickly, sustaining a pace that Usagi would be
envious of.  She, on the other hand, had only taken a single bite of the
{stew like : stew-like} substance.  Her hunger was overshadowing her

dislike of the food,

but it was a close call.  Forcing herself, she placed another spoon-full
into her mouth.

Minako contemplated something, looking at her {friends : friend}. "Doesn't

he have a

cute butt?"  She finally asked vacuously, hoping to draw her friend out of
her sour mood.

"Yeah.  One of the provincial rulers is searching for a bride.  And over

the

course of the discussions he mentioned how attractive he thought you guys
were.  Well one thing led to another and he wants to meet you all and see

if

any {fo : of} you are suitable to be his bride," she finished excitedly.

"Well, tell us something about him!  What's his name?  What does he look
like? How old is he?" Rei was also curious {to : about} the answers {of :

to} Minako's quick

questioning.

"Well...  I don't got much in the way of spare bags or anything.  But I

got

some extra clothes and an extra blanket.  You girls can make {due : do}

with that.

I'd suggest getting some real stuff in town, if you're planning on

actually

traveling on foot for a while."

Posted in unevenly spaced watch-towers, were the town sentries and
look-outs, displayed more overtly than Ranma had encountered in other

towns.

He wondered if they had faced an inordinate amount of trouble lately {:

which} had

precipitated this action.
