LETTER TO ALL - Another journey is for the birds

[neverfirstclass]

[A letter addressed to all the Heroes]

Everyone,

A few months ago I took a journey to find the Chocobo Forest in the hopes of finding a way to heal Zack after he had turned ill. I need to again thank everyone who came along with me on that trip, and no amount of thanks will ever be enough.

We didn't exactly find what we were looking for when we went there. The Chocobo Forest was pretty much empty of any birds. What we did find were a boy and a moogle who told us the tale of the forest and ruins in it. It seems it used to be the location of the Chocobo's Paradise in some previous cycle, if not before all of this began. According to the tale it was ruled over by the Fat Chocobo, who could give his blessings to the others and give them powers and new colors.

While we searched the forest we found a map that took us to a location in a Calm Lands. The chest we found had some smoke inside that put our chocobos in a daze, but when they woke up a few of them had changed colors just like in the legend. On top of that Zack has since been able to swim through deeper water than he had been able to previously. And most of all, he had been healed.

I've seen no unhealthy turns for any of the birds since then, and I was thinking maybe it would be a good time to go back to the Chocobo Forest to see if we can find any other clues about the Chocobo's Paradise. The forest isn't at risk of being swallowed by the Calamity yet, but I still think it would be better to pursue this sooner than later. When I suggested the trip to Zack he seemed really excited about it too.

Any who want to come along are welcome, even if you don't have a bird of your own. I'll need some time to get things in order so we probably wouldn't be going until sometime next month. If the beginning or end of the month works better for you, please let me know. This trip wouldn't be as much as a labor as last time, but if anyone has a way to help us get there and back faster that would be nice.

Take care,
Cloud Strife
