The new wild-mages

Chapter 1- New friends as the word is passed.

Two girls walked into a rouge pub when they got to Tortall. Most of them were drunk in the pub but some were sober just there to do business. The first girl with noticeable red hair walked over to one of the tables with the other following. The girl had long red hair quite like the lioness' but it was straight instead of curly, grey-blue eyes and was wearing a cloak with a hood that was covering her eyes. The second had short dark brown hair and brown eyes that were quite visible for her hood was off her head.

To the others in the pub the girls would have been just petty travellers with nothing of real value to steal and the girls liked it that way even though they were quite the opposite. The redhead's name was Destiny and her father had been a noble and her mother a mage. They had met very briefly and her mother had fallen in love but she fell out of it nearly as fast when Destiny was born. Destiny didn't know who her father was only that he was a powerful noble and she had never met him. Her mother abandoned her just after birth and gave her to a noble-woman by the name of Beaura who looked after Destiny till she was 5 but then Destiny started to show signes of wild magic and Beaura didn't like it. Beaura's daughter Lisa also showed signes of wild magic at the age of 5 and so when they both turned 6 (there birthdays are about 2 months apart) she abandoned them in a forest.

The two girls grew up and travelled the world together landing them now in Tortall to make a home. They had been trained by mages and now could control there magic and by Shang warriors who taught them to fight at 10 till they were 15 so they were well taught.

Now that they were in Tortall with there horses they would have to try and find a home but for tonight they would have to find a hotel to stay in. They bought some food and when the waitress came over Lisa asked her, "Do you have any rooms left for tonight? We are looking for one," she said while looking at the girl noticing she was quite young.

"Yes we have around 6 left so you may have your choice," she quietly answered back and Destiny got the impression that she must be a slave. Lisa got up and walked to the bar to question about the rooms while Destiny looked around at the many people in the pub (mostly men). She could spot no nobles, but she could spot one that she had heard about lately, Marco, a middle aged man with a very deep scar down his face that was said to be in the league for the next king of thieves, but everyone doubted that he would be chosen unless there was foul play.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" came a voice behind Destiny and she jumped a man was sitting behind her with a dagger in front of her. Destiny looked at the man closely, he was young and plainly enough a rouge wanting money and she wasn't the best choice so he must have been desperate. She smiled as the tried his luck with the dagger. "What are you smirking at? Give me your money now, or I'll slice your pretty face," as he pulled off her hood from her face.

While the man was trying to torment Destiny, Lisa was calmly paying the man for one of the rooms until he said. "Hey aren't you going to help your friend over there, she looks to be in quite a fix?" he asked in amazement at the calm look on both of the girl's faces. "No, why should I, she can handle the idiot. He's not good enough with he dagger to d anything foolish with it."

"What makes you so sure, girly?" he laughed in amazement. Lisa looked at him and then smirked herself, "You see the way he is holding the dagger? He is holding it wrongly and it is about to fall out of his hand because he is shaking and he has cuts down his hand, he must have stuffed up before," she ended this with a laugh at the look on the bar tenders face.

Destiny looked at the man and then giggled slightly for she could too hear what Lisa was saying to the bar tender so she decided to end it quickly, she was getting tired. Smiling a bit she swiftly pulled out her world from underneath her cloak so quickly she didn't think anybody in the room could see it besides Lisa, and pulled it to the man's throat, not wanting to kill him. "There you go, I will not kill you but I will give you a warning. Play with weapons that you know how to handle and never with two mages may I add!"

At these words he dropped open his mouth and looked transfixed at the sword. Destiny put way the sword and got up to leave taking the keys to her room with her while Lisa followed with a smug look on her face. "Very nicely dealt with Des," Lisa laughed, "Well none of them in that pub will mess with us again."

"Yes and now the world will get around of two new mage girls in Tortall, then maybe we will be able to meet Diane and the Lioness. Then i can ask them about a job and somewhere to stay." Destiny laughed for she had always wanted to meet the Lioness and Diane for their powers were supposed to be great.

"Good well lets get to bed then shall we?" asked Lisa as they opened the door of the rooms. "Goddess what happened here?" Lisa said with a stunned look on her face. Everything in their room was topsy-turvy and 3 boys were lying on the floor, all unconscious though one cut badly on the shoulder. Two of the boys looked around 18 and 16 and both of them looked like stable hands, good stable hands, the third looked younger and around 14. They had probably had a brawl with another of the rouge and had been knocked out and dragged in here. It was lucky that the room hadn't been torched.

"Great," thought Destiny, now i will probably not get any sleep tonight. Lisa looked over the boys for any bad cuts and tended to the one with the bad shoulder cut. Destiny looked around the room and straightened everything up, then went outside to tie up there horses, Edge a dark bay stallion who belonged to Lisa and Whisper a black stallion who belonged to Destiny, closer to there room.

When dawn broke Destiny was still awake though Lisa had gone to sleep a while ago. The middle aged boy woke at down with a headache and some moans and groans. "Where am I?" he asked wearily. "In one of the inn's rooms were we found you," Destiny told him in reply noticing now the bruise on his head. After shaking his head he looked around and got to his senses. "Are my brothers all right?" he asked suddenly remembering them. "Yes they are fine but your eldest brother has a deep scar on his shoulder which will not mend perfectly as it was before," she said as she shook her head.

"Oh, good then they will be fine," and as he said this he tried to stand but his legs would stand for him so he just lent against the wall and suddenly noticed that Destiny was a girl. "Oh, you are a girl? What are you doing here then, this is no place for a lady, especially near Marco, you know he takes in any women and makes them his slaves?"

"Well i don't think that he will be taking either me or my friend in for we can handle rouges any day, but thankyou for your concern," she added the last part sarcastically and then got up to walk away, she was not in the mood for stupid boys thinking girls were stupid. "Well then how about breakfast?" he added as she stood up. She gave him a vivid stare and then walked out of the room and slammed the dor behind her waking up Lisa.

Lisa shook her head and got out of bed already dressed for she had slept in her clothes. She yawned and walked into the room were the boy sat still watching the door. "Ahh, you are awake, good, i will send for some breakfast," she added with a smirk as his eyes moved from the door and checked her out. She was use to this but something about this boy doing it unnerved her so she dropped her gaze and sat down on a chair.

"Did you get on the wrong side of Des this morning?" she laughed remembering the slamming door and the boy looking at the door. "I guess i did, sorry," he added. "That's okay but just remember that she will now be quite cold towards you for a while," she smiled then went to wake up the other boys and to call for breakfast.

When the other boys woke, Lisa went downstairs and had a talk to the slave, waitress girl whose name she found out was Dawn. "We are requiring more then we bargained for in this place, we have 3 boys and we need some breakfast for them and for us," Lisa laughed. Dawn looked thunderstruck but she finally nodded and went to prepare some food for them.

"She is okay," Lisa thought to herself as she walked back to the room but then made a detour back to the stables to see Destiny. Des (Destiny's nickname) was brushing Whisper her black stallion and Edge was waiting for his turn nearby. "Well i see you have already had an argument with one of the boys?" Lisa laughed at the cold look on Des' face. "He is such an average guy he thinks every girl is dainty and does everything for a man but goddess he is obnoxious," she stated plain and simple. "Well maybe he was brought up that way Des, please give him another chance for me..." asked Lisa pleadingly knowing how this could turn out if Des didn't agree to add least trying to like him because it would most likely turn into a fight and someone would get very badly hurt. "Okay, Okay, I'll try for you, but I'm not promising anything."

When they had all finished breakfast Destiny saddled up the two horses while Lisa packed quickly. The boys were dumb founded by the two girls. They had like Lisa had thought been brought up where the men went to war and fought and the girls did nearly everything else. Lisa and Des found out that the boys were of noble birth, picked fights quite often and had not a lot of money. The eldest ones name was Storm, the middle was Lucas and the youngest was Shaun. They lived not far from here and visited often, they also said that they were just enjoying their single lives till there father made them marry which would be soon for the eldest two.

Before the girls left they told Dawn and the bar tender to pass the word on of there wish to talk to the Lioness and Diana and that they were wild- mages. The bar tender said he would to Dawn was not so sure but eventually agreed to tell some people who came in and out.

When they set off the boys told them that they would see them again sometime soon and before their father made them marry. "When you get a house, send for us!" Storm yelled as the girls rode off at a gallop. "When will guys ever learn," thought Des to herself and laughed out loud.
