::Yes.... I must head north. I must find out for myself. But should I tell them?... No, it is best that I minimize the chance of someone trailing me. But how shall I get through the silent alarms?:: <And before Kaeden could think any more, the tent flap open and Raen entered. Raen quickly warns Kaeden that someone has attacked the camp, then quickly heads out to the next tent.> ::Hmm... So the silent alarms have already been triggered, and everyone is distracted...:: <Kaeden stands, and chants the words to the ''Shadows'' spell, putting in enough mana for it to last for a few minutes. When he finishes casting the spell, it begins to seem as if light makes small attempts to try and avoid Kaeden, subtly making it darker around him.>

<Kaeden exits out of the tent, and looks around. Raen is not visible, and he notices fighting in the distance. He slips around his tent and begins heading for the perimeter of the camp. He slowly works his way through the tents, seeing no shadows of people inside them. He continues to work his way through to the north, and finally reaches the edge of the camp.> ::Now... This should not attract attention to me, as the silent alarms are already going off... But I would best be prepared should they find these set off as well.::

<Kaeden runs through the perimeter, and he feels slight mana waves in the area, knowing that he caused a disturbance. After a bit of running, the tents have become distanced enough to appear a slight bit smaller than Kaeden. Kaeden then stops running, and begins walking.> ::Hmm... I wonder, how far to the north does it want me to go?:: <Kaeden begins pondering, wondering if he should activate his Lasmodi Gwethdesuan to hope the mind of this person is there. He decides to activate it, and begins thinking.> ::How far north is it?::

Shiro: Light Solar Mages? Star Mages? I'm not familiar with that particular group. Tell me, If you're not the Dark Solar Mages, then WHY DID YOU KILL MY BROTHER!

Shiro points over to his brother's slain body.

Shiro: He was only looking for help! Our village was recently attacked by someone! Probably the Dark Solar Mages! If You AREN'T the Dark Solar Mages, why didn't you at least listen to my brother instead of brutally killing him?!?

A middle aged man comes from behind and places his hands on Shiro's shoulders.

''Calm down....Shiro...''

A moment of pain hits Shiro but then....calmness...silence...peace.....

''There...that wasn't so hard...Sleep...''

Shiro: Ugh!

Shiro felt a strong sharp pain on his shoulder. He struggled to turn around as an immense pain sweers his body.

Shiro: W-what..sorcery..is this?

Shiro stumbled to the ground. His vision became blurry. Suddenly, he felt sleepy. A wave of numbness sweeps his body.

Shiro: Uhhh....

His last moment of consiousness... he sees Gerrad... Everything became dark as he loses consiousness...

(OOC: I don't like where this is going as this severly limits what I can post. BTW, how's your first day of school, Icefall?)

<Kaeden awaits a response, repeating his question in his thoughts every moment or so.> ::How far north is it?:: <Kaeden continues walking, the tents on the edge of the camp now appearing to be the size of marbles.> ::How far north is it?:: <Kaeden speeds his pace, becoming somewhat angered.> ::Should I have done this?:: <Kaeden continues on, and finally the camp is no longer visible from his current point.>

::How far north is it?:: ::A few miles more.:: <Kaeden stops dead in his tracks, quite surprised that he actually received an answer.> ::... Why are you... ''Helping'' me?:: ::I have my reasons. And I have no obligation to inform you of them. But if you truly desire to have what you deserve, then press on.:: ::... Who are you?:: :: You cannot know until you are ''Ready''.:: ::... Ready?:: ::That is all I have to say.:: ::What do you mean by ''Ready''?:: <Kaeden receives no response. He sighs, and tugs on the stones surrounding the crystal attached to his forehead. He then continues walking towards the north.> ::... I wonder... What is it to the north?::

(i had to sign up for classes today. im not in school...yet)

A suprised look appears on Ashmere's face, but Icefall just looks at Gerrard oddly.

Ashmere: ''Wow! How'd you do that?''

Teferi: ''More like, what did you do? Will he be okay? He is still alive, right?''

You seem to know many things, Gerrard. Where did you learn that?

Shiro's body layed coldly on the ground. He's barely breathing... But inside his mind, he's dreaming. About his past...

(4 years ago.)
Shiro has left his vilage, Rokkaku for about 3 months now. During his quest, he'd train himself to become a better ninja, while he searches for Tetsuo. For 4 years, he'd search far and wide for his former friend. But as each day turns to months to years, his chance of finding tetsuo deminishes. Also, he misses Midori, his lover. Everyday, he misses her. How he wishes to hear her soft voice. See her snow-white skin. How he longed to be with her. As time passes, his passionate spiorit deminishes. His thirst for revenge has blacken his heart. One day, 4 years later, he returned to the region where Rokkaku resides...

(2 days ago.)
Shiro is at a bar in a nearby village of Kyaro.

Bartender: Hey, stranger, what can I get you?
Shiro: ...... Sake.
Bartender: All right.

The bartender prepares Shiro some sake. He hands Shiro the cup.

Bartender: Here you go.

Shiro quickly gulped down the the drink.

Bartender: Never seen you before, you a ronin?
Shiro: ... Yeah.
Bartender: Where ya from, originally?

Shiro starts to get annoyed.

Shiro: ... Rokkaku.
Bartender: Hey, that's only 25 miles from here! Heard the village is under attack.
Shiro: What? Under attack?
Bartender: Yeah. We get many refuge from there.
Shiro: Who attacked Rokkaku?
Bartender: Don't know. Some foreign army. Probably some daimyo [warlord] trying to conqure lands.

Just then, a man rushes into the bar. He looked exhausted.

Man: Sake. Please.
Bartender: OK. Hey, what happen to you?
Man: Oh... My village was attacked by sorceress.
Bartender: Rokkaku?
Man: Yeah. I'm sent to look for our prince, Shinji-san.

Shiro was shocked upon hearing this.

Shiro: What happened to him?!? Tell me!
Man: Huh? Who're you?
Shiro: ANSWER ME!
Man: All right, all right! Shinji-san went to look for help, since our village was under attack. He was attacked by a sorcerer. Shinji got hit in the chest by a fireball. Realizing he can't fight, he escaped to look for help.

Shiro heard the man and quickly left the bar. Shinji you fool! Shiro disappeared into the forest to look for his brother...

Shiro slowly regained consiousness...

Gerrard senses Kaeden's thoughts from far away.
::Dammit....doesn't he trust me? I can get the job done.::

He notices Icefall's question and thinks for a moment. These sudden events almost make him lose his composure. He ignroes everyone and stops to think.

''Umm.....As I said, I'm a schoalar who has met many types of mages...''::I don't have time for you fools...leave me.::

''I guess I can part with some of my record scrolls and you may learn what I have learned.''::Accept damn you or else...''

He starts to dig into his backpack. Couple of minutes later, he pulls out another pouch fulls of scrolls.

''Well....you want them? They are yours.''::Dammit I can't waste time with you insulent vagrants. MAges...what are they doing here...Just take them and leave me be!::

He smiles sharply and Teferi, Icefall, and Ashmere.

Teferi: ''That really isn't necessry, sir. Thank you for the offer though.''

Ashmere: ''Teferi, you need to lighten up. Gerrard, thank you very much.''

Ashmere takes the offered scrolls and then goes off to put them in safekeeping. Teferi follows her off. Icefall stays behind though. She takes a seat by a tree and watches Gerrard. Icefall speaks to him while wearing an emotionless expression.

Could you tell me about your travels sometime? I always love to hear about new places and cultures. Anyways, what shall we do with this man when he wakes up?

She looks at the unconscious man.
