Chapter 2

"Get up." Ike's voice said.
"You'd think new arrivals would have arrived last week by time and space jump train." Marth's voice said. They pushed themselves up. Emma, when she saw Ike had his sword pointed at her whimpered and turned into a ferret.
"What?! Why did she do that? How did she do that? Why's she bleeding? What's going on here? Who are you? Where did you come from ? When are you leaving?and why-" Ike started. But Marth cut him off.
"Not now Ike. L-A-T-E-R" Marth mouthed to him.
"Fine. Come to the mansion." Ike growled. They marched towards the mansion. As they walked towards the mansion they over heard Marth asking Ike "do you think their just guest brawlers for the tournament that just showed up late?"
"Yes we are guest brawlers. We just- had something holding us up back home. Sorry!" Kess replied thinking quick.
"Yeah!" Emma agreed.
"Hey that's n-" Aragon started but changed his answer because of a sharp elbow in the ribs courtesy of kestrel.
"Yeah. Yes we are. We got held up by giant flying-" he had to stop again thanks to a hard kick in the back of the knee thank you Emma.
"Dragons. Dragon cove got a hurricane and the fire dragons started fighting with the water dragon because the water dragon's control our weather and it took us two weeks to get them calmed down and back home. " kess continued the story.
"We'll show you three to the official registry right now because the tournament starts in three weeks and you need every minute to train." Marth said. They walked up to a desk. It was tall and white. Made of marble.

"You forgot your description."
"Well which form do you want?"
"Oh. Right. Human please."
"Emma where's a brown tunic with a light brown belt, a short sword strapped to her hip as well as two daggers. She has brown leggings with a rip in the right knee.

"And you forgot your weight." The old crone croaked.
"You don't ask a lady her weight." Emma replied.
"Plus" Emma added " I can beat the unbeatable."
"Thank you. These are your brawling licences so you may train on our battle grounds. Marth will show you to your rooms." The wizened old hag told them as she stepped away from the desk.
"So!" Marth said. Startling them.
"So what?" Kess snapped.
"A fire elemental, a darkness elemental, and a shape shifter. So Emma do you have an element?"
"No. But this is my best form." She laughed shifting into a spirit wolf. Her fangs were dripping with green poison. She shifted back and almost fell over laughing to see Marth up a tree quivering. When he had climbed down again and walked over he had only partially recovered.
"Scared of me then? Well I would be too. Those poison fangs poised, could kill a full grown man at full strength. It would take months. Months of slow agonizing pain that crawled from your bite all the way across your whole body until even your brain is riddled with the worst pain you will ever feel. If there generous they will bite your neck. It only takes a day that way. But anywhere else and well let's just say the shortest is one week. Longest is one year." Emma explained. By the end of her speech Marth looked ready to feint. They just laughed.
"Don't worry. Emma can be generous. But if you catch her in a bad mood then it might be time to set a new record." Kestrel joked. Poor Marth stayed as far away from Emma as possible. Once they had gotten to their rooms they knew every corner of their mansion and everything about the smashers. The three rooms where on the top level. They had a great view. The next A.M they would start training. They were all hanging out in Emma's room because Aragon's room was always on fire and kestrels room was pitch black. So they were sitting there talking and eating popcorn.
"I can't believe they bought our totally fake story!" Kess laughed.
"Well it wasn't a lie. The dragons were unsettled! But that was three years ago." Emma pointed out. They had told the truth right beside another truth to make it sound like it happened at the same time.
"Yeah. And Aragon! Your name is um!" Kess agreed.
" no! It's Aragon the destroyer." Aragon argued.
"No actually. The hag took the first thing you said. And that was *um.*. I Mean that doesn't even have an exclamation mark! That is how you will be introduced to all the others. Do we are just gonna call you um. Ok? Ok." Kess stated. So they sat there and talked and talked and talked. Until Emma sent them all back to their rooms.
