Chapter 2 Conversations

(I don't own Orphen or the show)

When Orphen did return to camp he saw Cleo and Majic talking. Cleo was talking about some hot spring nearby of course and Majic was listening about to die of boredom. He wondered which one would see him first. Cleo queen of hot springs or Majic. He hoped it wasn't Cleo so he was relieved who it was. Majic saw him first and smiled.

"Hi master how was your walk?" Majic asked, "I made this fire…well it took a few tries but I made it."

"Wow Majic I'm impressed," Orphen said, "as for my walk it went okay sorry I got mad."

Cleo completely forgetting about the hot springs was shocked. Orphen said sorry, he never apologized without insulting one of them or some other saying behind it.

"You just…apologized," Cleo said, "I can't believe it you do know how to say sorry without an insult…and I was beginning to think you were heartless."

"Cleo?" Orphen asked.

"What?" Cleo asked.

"Shut up," Orphen replied, "anyways yes I apologized let's not act like it's a life changing moment okay?"

"So Master what was your dream about? I mean…you don't have to tell me," Majic said.

"A mysterious mist…it swallowed up Totokanta you and miss big mouth were statues along with everyone else in town," Orphen said.

Cleo chose to ignore the 'big mouth' comment and listened.

"Also there was this figure in my dream…I didn't sense him near me until he talked and seemed to use a spell I'm unaware of to knock me into a building," Orphen explained.

"So that's why you're so nice…you don't want to see me as a statue," Cleo said smirking. She had stood up and hand her hands together to tease Orphen.

"Cleo don't make me hit you…" Orphen replied sighing.

"Right…" Cleo said sitting down uncomfortably, "So uh…any idea who caused it in this dream?"

"No whoever it was had a dark cloak on…" Orphen said, "It's probably nothing though."

Orphen ate some of the food and sighed as Orphen heard laughing from a familiar source. Volcan…

"I am the dark figure of your nightmares fear me," Volcan said wearing a dark cloak which was actually a bed sheet.

"Nice try volcan…but you aren't him I'll even list reasons before I send you flying," Orphen said standing up and walking over to him to step on his back, "One his cloak wasn't a bed sheet, and two he didn't have an annoying voice."

"No Three?" Volcan asked laughing nervously mostly trying to get Orphen to spare him, "It was Dortin's idea, Dortin told me to dress up."

"Sure he did…" Orphen said dryly.

"Orphen…I had no part in this…" Dortin answered.

"Yeah I can guess that," Orphen said, "Hey Volcan tell me if you can see us from the sky okay?"

Orphen removed his foot and blasted Volcan who grabbed an unfortunate Dortin and the two went flying. (1)

"That takes care of that," Orphen said walking back over and sat down to eat more.

"Krylancelo," A voice called.

Hartia appeared using a spell and walked over to the group. Or rather it was him disguised as Black Tiger.

"Hey Shrimp man," Cleo said.

"It's not Shrimp man it's…oh forget it…" Hartia said, "I overheard you talking about your dream."

"So?" Orphen asked, "It's just a dream."

"No I don't believe it is…you the top student at the tower…"

"Get to the point," Orphen said.

"You didn't sense him until he talked there's only one tower that taught that kind of stealth…but it's impossible to even exist," Hartia said, "The Tower of Aden."

"Aden…I read about that once…or rather Azalie read it to me," Orphen said.

Flashback

(Before Azalie turned into Dragon Lady as Cleo calls her)

"What are you reading Azalie?" Krylancelo asked.

"Oh I didn't hear you come in," Azalie said with a smile, "I'm reading up on the Tower of Aden."

"Tower of Aden?" he asked.

"Yes it's a tower that could rival The Tower of Fang but it's not around anymore," Azalie said, "According to this writing the holy ones sealed the tower away for it held too much power."

"Wow," He answered smiling, "The holy ones always had the strongest magic around anyways."

Azalie smiled.

(End Flashback)

"Who knew I'd hear that name again?" Orphen asked.

"Well according to what you just said the tower is sealed right?" Cleo asked.

"Yeah so there should be nothing to worry about," Majic said.

"Let's hope," Orphen answered.

"Hmm I have to tell this to the council immediately," Black Tiger/Hartia said and disappeared.

Meanwhile

"Stupid Orphen blasting us away…" Volcan said as they landed in a cave.

"No he blasted you! Since you bugged him," Dortin replied.

"Shut up Dortin…it's not my fault he's got a short temper…or no sense of humor…" Volcan said looking around the cave, "So where are we?"

Dortin looked around the cave noticing ancient writing and an odd shaped rock in the center.

"I can't read any of this but it must be a place of great power," Dortin said adjusting his glasses.

"Ha whatever look at this stupid rock," Volcan said hitting it with his foot.

"Volcan I wouldn't do that," Dortin said.

"Stop being paranoid it's just a rock," Volcan answered kicking it again.

The rock suddenly cracked and a light seemed to erupt from it exploding engulfing the two brothers.

When it cleared they found themselves on the ground and saw a figure standing there in dark clothes with a dark cloak looking down at them.

(Chapter 2 End)

As for the number I put next to one of the sentences.
