Sup everyone.... This is going to be a good story, prob. a Briar/Tris story, I love them, even if there are soo little of them, maybe Kieren/Evvy I dont now right now, just read. I obviously don't own any of the characters 'cept Kieren, and the innkeeper.
Chapter 1~Meetings
"I just wanted to tell you... No, no that's no good. Maybe I won't tell her. It would be best." Said the boy riding his horse to himself. He had dark black hair that was cut short and was frizzed up, and his dark eyes took in his surroundings. His almond colored skin blended with the dark green of his coat. Underneath he wore a simple white shirt with brown breaches. Not one person would guess that he was one of the four most famous mages in all of Emelan and the world. He scanned the area for something, a landmark maybe.
"Finally, there it is." He smiled, he had lived at Winding Circle since he was ten but left after a couple years to go train on his own. Now he was back, and at 18, a grown man with an apprentice.
"What is it Briar?" A girl that rode behind him asked.
"You'll see Evvy, you'll see." He answered.
"Everything is a mystery with you, Briar." The girl, Evvy said. The boy, earth mage Briar Moss, laughed. They rode quietly for awhile until Evvy commented
"This is Winding Circle, is it not?"
"Yes, it is. And this is Discipline." He responded, looking at the building in front of him. There was the place he had lived in. Him and Sandry, Daja and Tris...
"Were you really that bad that you lived by yourself and the four girls, here? Away from everyone else?"
"Yes, didn't I tell you about the time I beat up the kid who was lying about..."
"Yes you did, a couple million times." Evvy mumbled. Briar glared at her. With that they got off the horses and started to unload the packages on the horse. They brought them to Briars old room, the attic, and Sandry's old room.
"Why Lady Sandry's room?" Evvy asked as she looked around the building.
"Sandry is coming in a couple of months, Daja and Tris are coming sooner." Briar said a matter-of-factly. "You get all your stuff ready, and then you can come and help me in the garden or you can walk around Winding Circle if you want." He continued and then left for the garden.

Trisana Chandler looked at the are around her. She hadn't seen it for so long. Ever since she left for the desert she had lost contact with the rest of her friends. She couldn't wait to see them again. She had gotten everything done fast so she could surprise Briar and maybe even Daja would be there.
She got down off her horse and walked into the inn. She said hi to the manager, whom she had once been fiends with, and walked up to her room. When she got up to the small one room apartment, she put on a simple pair of breeches, which she had learned to wear while she was in the desert.
She looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her flaming red hair had become somewhat manageable over the past few years, her stormy gray eyes had become more intense and magical. She had lost weight in the desert, and her skin had become quite tan after the long rides under the desert sun. She wore her favorite pair of pale blue breeches and off white shirt. She had shed her large glasses last year and she now put a magical liquid into her eyes (A/N~ Somewhat like contact lenses, work with me here) so she could see. Tris thought she had changed a lot in the desert in more ways then physical.
"Tris are you in there?" A male voice asked from the hallway outside her room.
"Kieren, I'll be ready in a second" Tris replied. She put on riding boots than opened the door to reveal her new apprentice, Kieren Malink. He had pale skin with sandy blond hair and contrasting black eyes that rarely showed emotion.
"Are we leaving for Winding Circle now Tris?" Kieren asked.
"Of course, I want to surprise Briar, and maybe Daja." At Briars name Kieren's eyes darkened. He cared a lot about Tris and wasn't very happy that there was a boy involved in her life.
Tris saw this and laughed. "No, I am not in love with Briar, he is more like a brother to me." Kieren's eyes became their normal emotionless state as they walked out the door.
They had everything already packed onto the horses so they rode directly to Winding Circle. Kieren had already been to Winding Circle once in his life, so he knew what it looked like.
They rode directly up to Discipline, Tris got off her horse and looked around. There she saw two other horses near the side of the house.
Briar and Daja are here!!! She thought happily. Tris walked around to the garden hoping to surprise Briar. She walked quietly up to Briar avoiding any plants. She was just five inches away."Hi Thief~Boy." He stood up, smiling, totally not surprised. She looked at him amazed. He had changed a lot! He was no longer the Briar she used to now, a young thief~boy. He had turned into a man.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hi Thief~Boy." Briar looked up to see a woman with red hair and gray eyes staring at him. He didn't realize who it was for a second then he did.
"Coppercurls!!!" He said happily, as he embraced her happily. Briar couldn't believe this was the girl who had made fun of so often.
He walked through the garden Tris right next to him. "So how has life been, down in the desert?" He asked. He slung his arm around her shoulders. "I mean your not dead."
"Life was just splendid. You will be proud of me, I learned to wear breaches, and..."
"Tris? Where are you?" Some one called.
Mila, did Tris find a love interest? No this can't happen to me. Out from the shadows walked a blond haired kid that Briar guessed must have been around 18. The person walked straight towards Tris and looked at Briar with hatred snapping in his black eyes. Tris moved away from Briar in the middle of the two boys."Briar this is my apprentice Kieren Malink, Kieren this is Briar Moss, I told you about him, he was one of the other mages I trained with." Tris stated calmly. Her gray eyes whipping with fury. "Dont you two start arguing with each other, you're living with each other for the next year or so."
