Disclaimer: I do not own Orphen.

Author's note: I made a timeline for this story as follows: Orphen, Orphen game, Orphen Revenge. It is best if you see all three before reading.

Summary: After Revenge the gang breaks up for a while but will soon be reunited. Also another member will come.

Voice: you sure you wish this?

A man stood in front of a large stone wall adorned with the faces of the previous elders from the Tower of Fang.

Elders: Kevin, if this is your wish we will comply. But what if you cannot change the past.

The man looked slightly angry. His eyes were glowing dimmly.

Kevin: I am sure! Once before He vowed to save Azalie and you doubted him! Do not make that mistake with me! Now do as I wish!

Elders: As you wish.

Intense light pierced the darkness of the room where Orphen slept. It climbed to his face as if forcing him in its own way to awaken. Orphen held his hand out before him.

Orphen: Veil of Darkness, that Surrounds me!

The light was shielded by a cube of darkness centered around the sleeping sorcerer. The door opened. A young teenager steps in and looks dissaprovingly at Orphen.

Teenager: Orphen, It is time to go. Majic is waiting for you. You should not keep him waiting.

Orphen: ok, ok ,ok. I am up. Dispell thy darkness.

The cube fades and the light of the sun once agian attacks Orphen's face.

Orphen: Heero, tell Majic I'll be down shortly.

Heero: Very well sir.

Heero leaves the room. Ophen fights the urge to recast his veil but decides against it. Majic, His apprentice was waiting on him. His aprrentice again. Majic had improved greatly at the feats of sorcery, yet he still wanted Orphen for a teacher. "Could it just be that he considers me a friend and not just his master?" Orphen asked himself. He pushed the covers aside and stood up. His shirtless chest exposed to the coldness of the winter. he shivered slighly and grabbed his gray shirt. After pulling it on he grabbed his black coat and walked out of the room. He slid the coat on as he descended the stairs. As he came into the lobby a blonde teenage boy walked to him. It was Majic.

Majic: Good morning, master. It seems I can't concentrate on my sorcery again so I ask for your assistance. Will you help me? My father will pay you again of course.

Orphen: Damn right he will. No way I would teach a troublesome student like you for free. (Orphen laughs)

Majic: Master!

Orphen: Oh calm down. You know I'm just joking. Anyway, are you ready to leave?

Majic: yes Master. But what about Cleo?

Orphen: what about her?

Majic: nevermind.

Orphen: (turning to Majic's father, the tavern owner.) I'll make sure no harm comes to him. Don't worry.

Majic's father: I can't help but worry. But it is his wish.

Orphen: Farewell old man.

With all the parting words said Orphen and Majic set forth to a new journey.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Cleo lay awake in her bed. She had been home for about four months now and was really missing the open road and the joys of travelling. But she only missed them because she wanted to enjoy them with a certain person. That person would never settle down. And so if she traveled the roads she might meet him again. The door opened and her blonde sister, Mariebelle, came in.

Marie: Cleo, you better get up if you don't want to miss your appointment.

Cleo: thanks Marie.

Mariebelle left Cleo alone in the room and Cleo changed to something more appropriate for her future activities. Then she grabbed her bag and left the room. Downstairs Volcan and Dortin waited with a large bag.

Volcan: Once again me, Maxima Julia's great Volcan Polkano is a servent for that blonde brat. If she does this to me again I'll kill her by suffucating her with stuffed animals.

Dortin: oh big brother.

Cleo walks up.

Cleo: be careful with those bags. If anything should be damaged it's your ass.

Volcan: Yes mam. I shall take the utmost care in transporting your things.

The three leave to a place unknown. _______________________________

Orphen and Magic await a carriage at the depot.

Majic: It sure is great not carrying all that luggage.

Orphen: Enjoy it while you can.

Majic: huh?

Orphen: oh here she comes now. Cleo! Over here!

Majic: What!?

A little distance away Majic sees Cleo, Volcan, and Dortin. the latter carrying a heavy bag.

Majic: So you did invite her. Why, master?

Orphen: I am gonna teach her to cook.

Majic: But master you cant cook either?

A large fist contacts with the top of Majic's head.

Orphen: I am not teaching her. She asked me to take her to the great resturaunts of the world so she can learn. At first I said no. But then your father said you were coming back and wanted to be taught again so I decided I could make a little more money by escorting her and teaching you at the same time. ("Liar" A part of Orphen said. He shook it off.)

Majic: I see, you were just lonely weren't you master.

Orphen: Don't talk nonsense.

Majic: Sure, Master.

Cleo reaches them. Volcan and Dortin drop the bag and run.

Cleo: Hello Orphen, Majic.

Majic: Hi Cleo. you gonna become a cook?

Cleo: Not exactly but I want to be able to do it better.

Majic: (Whispering) So you can cook for a certain someone?

Cleo: (blushing) no I just want to be better at it.

Majic: Sure I believe ya.

Orphen: Would you two stop talking. The carriage is here. ("Your Just Jealous" His mind said. He shook it off once again.
