I own none of the characters from the story and will try to keep made up characters to a minimum, mostly the main character and people from his flash backs, and the puppy, I like the puppy so I own him

Briar was doing some last minutes trimmings on his Shakkon when he heard the quick patter of feet coming toward him. He looked up as a young boy raced around the corner, quickly followed by guards. "Stop," one of them cried. Suddenly Briar felt his Shakkon shudder and bend toward the street as he boy raced past. As he looked around he realized all of other plants had done the same. Peering after the boy he saw green fire coming off him and flowing in all directions. "Magic" he muttered. Then he threw a rope of magic down the street and into the boy, so he could track him. After calming the plants he went to find Rosethorn.

I ran faster, knowing my destination was near. If I could get to the forest I would be safe, I could lose them, just like I always did. I rushed into the forest and followed the hidden trail I knew by heart. After a couple minutes I stopped. Sure enough the footsteps faded away as they gave up. I released the small starving puppy I had from my coat and petted it absently.

"Wait let me get this straight, you saw a boy, running away from the cops, that had plant magic."

"Pretty much," Briar agreed. They were all sitting around Discipline's dining table. Briar had come there to talk to Rosethorn, and had decided to call the girls along for the news.

"Looks like you found yourself a new student, Briar" Daja commented.

"You do have a way to find him, right?" Rosethorn asked. Briar nodded"I took a page from Sandry's book and attached a magic thread to him."

"Good, then in the morning you track him down."

I settled in to sleep after making sure the puppy had eaten the bit of food I gave him and fell asleep. Curling up into the trunk of the tree I couldn't seem to get comfortable. I seemed to have an itch on the inside of my stomach. After awhile I finally fell asleep.
