May walked outside- Azula close behind her. " What do you think Tai's up to?" May, asked, clearly interseted in her sister's plans. " I'm not sure, but they took Zeik, and she might need some help." Azula replied, walking over to the stables. She lead both May's horse and her own, Thorn and Shade, and handed the bridle to May as she hopped on Shade, and stroked her mane. She adjusted her sword while May mounted Thorn, and then they were off. Azula blew a small whistle that made a high-pitched sound that was unaudible to both the humans and horses, but it was answered by a loud roar. " C'mon, they're at the stables, and they're in trouble." Azula ordered as Shade dashed towards the stables. Azula spotted Zeik, and quickly rode up to him. You can do alot more damage on a dragon than on a horse, she thought to herself, as she jumped from Shade to Zeik. May rode up silently to the clearing where her sister, and four others- one of them the man who she had been seen with earlier. May pulled out her dagger and hopped off of her horse- still silent. She heard her sister say, " I'm....interested in Leon, for my own reasons." which caused May to smile. " How do you know Connor's name anyways?" Tai asked her captor. May looked up to realize that Zeik and Azula were hovering there, unseen through the mist. (( Um.............................I don't know if you want May and Azula to rescue them- or what...so uh...............I'll just wait?))

Sarah turned from the girl not in the mood for small talk gave Leon a glare. He had been hiding something from them all along and she was stupid enough to let it pass. She went over to Conner "You swear that you are telling the truth." she asked him a small dagger by his neck. "Yes. Now let me go. I swear I will not attack any of you and I'll lead you safely to the person who wants you." he said honestly not really enjoying the feeling of something so sharp by his neck. She nodded and took the dagger away from his neck. She turned about to tell Cordon to undo when she realized something. It was quiet and the horses were unsettled. Conner smiled silently when he saw she finally noticed something was wrong and said quietly to her "Let me go now and I'll help you out of this pinch." he said and a second later fell to the ground as the plants unraveled around him. Cordon after seeing Sarah undid his spell and looked around silently knowing something was terribly wrong. Conner got up and walked to Sarah's side "Whoever they are they aren't with me." he whispered to her daggers out and ready to use. Sarah got into her magic stance "Oh, thick fog that hides thy foe...Dispel!" she said and suddenly all the fog was gone. She looked up as she realized a dragon was above her and quickly got from under it. Cordon muttered a word and a long plant turned into a sword for him. He turned to face the girl behind him on the ground.

May smiled as Cordon faced her, and she pulled her axe out from behind her. " Are you really going to fight me? I'm not here for you- I wish to cause you and your friends no harm..." she said, throwing her weapon from one hand to the other, letting Cordon think about what she had said. She looked up and saw that she could see Azula and Zeik, who darted from the sky towards Tai, Zeik with claws extended. The dragon sucked the fire from the sphere and it dissapeared into his mouth, momentarily. Tai watched as Zeik started to exhale with horror- fearing that he was about to shoot fire and fry her, but Zeik blew out a strong wind, sending the rest of the sphere away with it. Tai took this chance to look over her shoulder at Connor, who she saw couldn't be helped. She blew him a kiss then hopped onto Zeik's back, along with her sister. Tai called to her sister, but May just smiled again and stayed put. She was testing this mage.

Cordon gave a cold glare not wanting to take a life "If you leave the other assassin with us then we will let you go." he said walking away his head looking back as the plant/sword dragged across the ground. There was a rock about a foot high and a foot thick. He stopped and turned around smiling sweetly. He quickly swung the sword near the rock and waited a smile still on his face. A second later the rock fell to the ground in crumbles as if something had smashed it. Sarah contained the urge to laugh at this and so she decided to smile sweetly just like Cordon. "We don't want to fight and if you know what's smart you'll go." she said looking at Leon to see what he was doing. Conner gave a fake kiss back and waved to Tai "Thanks but I don't need you anymore." he said simply with a little shrug. Cordon stopped smiling and waited to see what the girl would do. Larisa was laying on a tree branch trying to get some sleep when she heard a battle near by. She got up and hopped down the tree sword in hand. If it was raiders again she would not let them live like last time. She had been working in the town for some quick cash and all she had to do was drive off raiders. She walked into a clearing and found quite a seen. A dragon, three horses, and seven humans who seemed to be negotiating something she thought to herself. She leaned against a tree waiting for the people to notice her. Sarah saw movement in the corner of her eye and shot an arrow at it. Larisa moved her head slightly and the arrow hit an inch from her deep in the tree. She contained a yawn and started walking towards them. Sarah took a step forward "Who are you? Are you with them?" she asked motioning to the people on the dragon. She didn't like how calm this girl was and all the weapons she was carrying wasn't making her feel better. Cordon backed away to the others and looked at the new girl. He looked at the girl and was surprised to see that she was from Freeton. They were mighty warriors and few ever left their land. Conner a few feet away noticed this right away and cursed at his luck. He would have to be careful not to get on this girl's bad side. Larissa looked to the dragon and shook her head "I'm not with them and my name is Larisa. Now would you one of you mind telling me what the heck is going on here?" she asked sternly not in the mood for a fight to occur with the people and then she would have to break it up between the two groups. She couldn't help noticing the scar on the girls cheek and hid her surprise. It was rare to find someone like her way out here and not only that but the girl hadn't passed as a true warrior yet since she did not have any markings on her face. Larisa examined the puzzle but could not come up with a suiting answer. She would have to ask the girl or the others about it.

" You'll let me go?" May asked, chuckling loudly. " Well, I just came here for my sister- thank you, so I shall be going now, I have no actual use of this......boy." she said, motioning to Connor with her axe. " Besides, how stupid would I have to be to kill a mage, when there are two other mages that would kill me the moment I was finished?" May said, putting her axe back, but keeping her hand on it. " Well, since I've got nothing better to do, I'll try to explain, " May started, hoping that Azula would be fine with the fact that she was telling the story instead of having Azula do it, but May wasn't sure that Azula knew what was going on, " You see- Connor here, " she said, motioning to the man who was covered in vines, " he was sent by someone to either kidnap or kill Sarah here, and Tai, my sister, teamed up with Connor, because she was getting rather bored. So they decided to come here and try to ambush Sarah, but her friends- who are mages like herself, Leon, and Cordon- I think? Well, they came to help Sarah, and both Tai and Connor were captured. Then, Azula and I, we rescued Tai, and now we're going to leave- most likely, but, don't worry, we'll see ya real soon." May finished, hopping onto her horse without much effort. She rode away while Azula, Tai, and Zeik stayed to learn more about this new girl.

Larisa had to raise an eyebrow at that story. She hadn't been expecting something like that and was surprised to find all of the others were mages to some degree. She also wanted to know what Sarah did to have an assassin come after her. "That's quiet a story you have there." she said to Sarah "Now what did a person like you do to deserve this?" she asked glancing at the dragon who had stayed behind to listen. "That's what I'm hoping to find out." she said not sure what to think of this girl. Conner took a step forward "Now, about you. What is a warrior from Freeton doing way out here?" he asked speaking what Cordon had just been thinking about. "I am just wandering around looking for payment." she said with a little wave of her hand "It seems you are in a bind of some sort. Since my business is done in this town I could act as a body guard for you to ensure your trip is safe and in fact I'll do it for free since I am truly sick of this town." she said walking towards them all. Sarah looked at the others and turned back to Larisa. "That would be very kind of you and we accept your offer. We are leaving as soon as possible so if you need to get something now would be the time." Sarah said to Larisa. "All I need is to get my horse." she said and took out her wooden flute. Sarah looked at the flute with marvel. It had designs carved in it and a small chain on the end of it. A second later a beautiful white horse came out of the fog as silent as a ghost. Larisa walked out to the horse and started petting it's silver mane. She took a white cloak out of one of the small bags of the horse and put it on. "Ready when you are." she said getting on her horse with ease. Sarah went to the stable and looked at all the horses. Most were stepping away form her nervous but one came to her head high. She pet the horse and gently got on him. He went on his hind legs testing his rider but Sarah did not fall off. After awhile he stopped confident that this rider could handle him. She went over to the owner and payed for the strong horse after hearing his owners thoughts on him. She got a saddle, put it on him, and rode out to the others. "I shall call him Equis." she said to him trying the name out. "Are you all ready?" she asked them and Cordon got on his horse showing he was ready.

Azula sighed. " Well, we're off. It's kinda boring now with all you people being all happy and junk, so we're gonna leave now." She said, yawning slightly. Zeik snorted fire, showing his impatience and how annoyed he was that he hadn't gotten to eat anyone yet. Leon sat on his horse, playing with a little sphere of fire he had in his hand. He watched the dragon snort fire with much interest, then successfully attempted it himself. " G'bye Connor, goodbye random mages, goodbye suddenly appearing Larisa girl!" Tai shouted as the Zeik started to flap his wings. It only took five seconds for the dragon to be gone, his great wings pulled him deeper through the fog and higher into the sky.

Larisa watched them go her eyes cold and knew that they would be back. Sarah led her horse out of the stable and the group headed out of the town. Ten minutes later they were out of the town and stuck in the fog. Cordon brought his horse besides Sarah's and pulled out a map. "We have to go through Min first which is a few hours away from here. Don't worry we are going the right way." Conner said to Cordon noticing the map and Cordon put it away silently. He really hated Conner and was uncomfortable being near him. Larisa glared at Conner and received a puzzled look from him. She was riding near Leon and Conner sat his neck turned back so he could see her. She took out her wooden flute and began a song from her home her eyes closed. Cordon shuddered slightly at the tune which was neither happy nor sad. Conner tried not to hit his head at how stupid he was for not seeing it sooner. By playing her flute she made it so know one could hear their conversations and he sensed a tracking spell underneath the notes. It would allow her to sense if anyone was within a 10 yard radius from them. Conner slowed his horse down and went to Leon's side. "What do you make of our new friend?" he asked his eyes on Larisa who was oblivious to them and was deep in concentration for her spell.

A brisk breeze blew through the night air, stirring fog and mist through the skies. " Damn this weather." Raoul said, pushing back his carmel streaked blond hair. He adjusted his sunglasses and shivered slightly. " Hello, what's this?" He said, spotting a group of travelers nearby. He sensed their power, but shrugged it off as nothing. He took his hands out of his cloak pocket, and grabbed his scythe. He jumped down from the tree he was in, and landed right infront of a girl riding her horse. " Hiya." He said, smoothing his hair once more. He spotted the flute the girl had and knocked it out of her hands with one quick swipe of his scythe. " Now babe, I'm not here to cause trouble, but I had to make sure you cooperated." He positioned his scythe under her neck, a few inches away. " Now, I really wouldn't want to end this girl's life, but I will be forced to if anyone makes a move." He stared at Leon, who was a word away from blasting Raoul away with a wave of dark magic. " Now. Who are you, and what's your buisness here, hun? I'm not a bad guy, but I gotta make sure you aren't out here causing trouble." He placed his hand on her neck. " And I can tell if you lie by your heartbeat, so save it." He leaned in closer, and licked Larisa's neck teasingly. "Freeton eh? Hmm. You shoudn't be trouble, but I can't be sure now can I?"

Larisa's eyes went colder then ice and the other horses tried there best to get away from her. Sarah went still unable to do anything and Cordon had a look of disgust on his face. Larisa took a breath to calm herself and had to frequently keep reminding herself that she had to keep the man alive for information. She smiled as sweetly as she could but her eyes remained cold. "How kind of you to be such the good citizen and watch out over this land." she said sweetly and right when she finished her horse casually lifted her front leg. Moonlight then brought it crushing down on the strangers foot but there was no cracking sound meaning the foot sadly did not break. Larisa took advantage of this moment of distraction and jump off her horse dragging the man to the ground. She got on top of him and brought one of her daggers to his throat as he laid on the ground. "My name is Larisa and that is all you need to know. Now if you would be so kind and tell me your name." she said to him her voice low and all emotion out of her face. She gave him the courtesy of knowing her name and now she expected him to do the same.

Raoul smiled, though the pain in his foot was almost unbearable. " I'm Raoul, babe, but that dosen't matter, now does it?" He yawned and scratched his shoulder. He looked at Larisa, his expression showing that he was surprised she was still there. " So, are you gonna kill me or what? It wouldn't do you any good, but I'd kinda like to know." He yawned again, showing his boredom. " You aren't very polite for a girl, are ya? I ask you a question, you don't answer! You ask me a question, I answer. I swear, women are too damn confusing. It's called common courtesy, my lady." He said, putting his hands behind his head while still laying on the ground. " Now would /you/ be so kind and let me up? The pain in my foot's starting te spread, and I don't want to have to use force against you." He said, his green gold gaze showing only curiosity.

Larisa brought the dagger slightly farther from his neck "That's not for me to say." she said to him and waited for Sarah's instructions. Sarah sighed and got off her horse. "Let him go Larisa and go ahead and explain. I doubt he'll cause problems when he's against five people." she said and Larisa nodded her head in agreement. She got off of him and held out her hand to help him up. She did a quick healing spell for his foot but made it so a bruise would still remain. Conner scowled at this new arrival and couldn't believe their luck. "We are going to the city of Kern to talk to a person who has been sending assassins out for out group." Larisa said her hand still extended out. Cordon and Conner both had a spell on their tongue just in case Raoul did something dangerous. Sarah on the other hand had her hand on a dagger and Larisa was still clutching her dagger.

Raoul smirked. " There's a good girl." He said, slowly standing up. " Kern eh? Lemme guess, this guy's an assassin, am I right?" He said, pointing to Connor. He picked up his scythe and balanced on it with his arms locked around it. Leon tilted his head, confused by everything. " Soooo..." He said, twirling himself around the scythe. " Do you wanna get out of this damn forest or don't cha? 'Cause I've been around this place for about a year, and I'd be happy to escort you- if what you say is true." He licked the scythe's pole slowly, then stuck out his tongue. He looked at Larisa. " Sorry, I like lickin' things...and I must say, you taste much better than my scythe."

Sarah sat there unmoving stunned by Raoul for she had never met anyone like him. Larisa on the other hand was silent keeping in a few threats that came to mind. "I can see that. We would appreiciate you leading us out of this forest." Larisa said after fighting back the urge to knock him out. "You can ride my horse since your foot is still bruised." she said motioning to Moonlight who appeared more then happy to accidentally throw the man off. Larisa sighed silently knowing that she was now in charge of watching over Raoul. Sarah nodded her head and got on her horse not sure how to handle Raoul. Cordon relaxed a little on his horse and Conner hid his look of disgust.

Raoul looked at Larisa, his eyes puzzled. " You can ride her with me, can't you? I wouldn't want you to have to walk.." He waited for her answer by trying to find a way to store his scythe while still on the horse. He mounted Moonlight, to see if it was easier to actually be on the horse. He tried everywhere, but he couldn't seem to find a way to hold it while holding the reins. He held it in one hand while still on the horse, and just stared at it. " Um...I'll just leave it like this, I suppose." Leon looked at the man on the horse who was holding a scythe that was standing straight up in one hand, and the reins of a horse in the other, and laughed. Raoul glared at Leon for a moment, then smiled. " You know you want me." Raoul said to him. Leon immediately shut up, his eyes widened with fear.

Larisa new she was going to regret this and hopped on her horse behind Raoul. She put her arms around his waist and grabbed the reins so he could hold his scythe better. She didn't let anything show on her face "If you may lead now." she said to him knowing that he would get them out of the forest quicker. Cordon moved to the side as far as possible and kept saying in his mind keep 5 feet away. Conner looked away his jaw hanging open and horrible images flooded his mind. Sarah avoided Raoul's gaze and moved her horse behind Larisa. I so owe Larisa she thought as she passed them.

Raoul smiled and looked back at Larisa. He stuck out his tongue teasingly then turned back so he was facing forward. He kicked the horse softly, and hoped that it would start moving. Leon watched as Larisa wrapped her arms around Raoul's waist and almost coughed. He felt so sorry for her, but not enough to offer to ride with Raoul himself. The truth was, Leon had no idea what to think of the boy. He just knew to stay away. Raoul leaned back lightly, feeling Larisa's body pressed against his. He sighed and tried to steer Moonlight to the right a bit.
