Odds were that they had been fighting fearsomely for hours, maybe days now. The area they were in was torn apart, debris and smoke filled the air. The cloaked one sent parasites at the wolf girl and the wolf girl ran to bite him as a wolf. The clash of energy was unbelievable, might as well been a bomb. The wolf just ran through the parasites, jumped at the cloaked one and transformed to human again and nailed him in the face. Although the cloaked one lost balance, he quickly regained it and threw his fist. The girl threw her arm in the way and used the other to swing, hitting him in the stomach. He then tackled her and raised his arm; insects came out of the sleeves. The bugs were about to eat her, it was then I finally realized Calico ran over there to help. Calico shot the cloaked man in the arm he had raised.

"I just wanted some breakfast! But you had to attack the town! And spoil it for me!"

"You dirty meddler! I was about to finish her off!" She kicked him off of her, after so, she raised her fists.

"Now, what's your name, so I can engrave it on the tombstone?" The wolf girl said,

"My name is Thane Dasgard, and yours? I need to know so I can call the grave digger."

"Mist, what year were you born, people would like to know how long you lived!" More and more threats flew back and forth as the rest of us moved closer (Rather bad threats...) Lena, Eli, Lili, Gary and I just watched the two yell at each other. They didn't fight physically anymore, why? I don't even now. A few more insults and threats were said before Calico finally ended it.

"How about I kill you both? I haven't eaten in at least, twelve minutes!" More and more threats flew as Mist soon realized that her golden necklace was gone, she was wearing it a few moments earlier, which makes it strange.

"Okay, which one of you stole my necklace?" She looked over to Thane.

"What? You're accusing me? What would I need that worthless piece of junk for?" Mist punched Thane in the face.

"It's not junk! It was from my father, Tsunami!"

"Who cares about your father, what about my breakfast?" Calico pulled out his sword and swung at her, she used her claws to stop it. Thane then low kicked me, heaven knows why, and pulled me to the ground. We both stood up and started fist fighting, Gary disappeared and the girls just looked at each other. Lena kicked Thane in the knee, Lili punched Mist in the face, and Eli kicked Calico in the unmentionables.

"Thanks," I told Lena.

"No problem…" She replied.

"Where's Gary?" Lili asked as we looked around.

"Who cares? I'm in so much pain! And I'm hungry! I think I am going to… I think I am going to… faint…" Calico fell over; I guess he really was starving and in pain.

"I will kill you, Mist!" Thane yelled as he waved his fist.

"Not before I kill you, Thane Dasgard! And I will take back my necklace too!" Mist yelled as she waved her fist. They then shook hands and walked away. We looked at each other, and then looked at the wreckage. What the hell just happened?

"Okay, I will take Calico to a food stand or a restaurant. Eli, can you please find Gary?" Eli nodded and walked away. "Cepter, Lena, can you go to the marketplace for some food, and then find a place for us to sleep for tonight?"

"Sure," Lena replied. Lili dragged Calico away, and disappeared into the area that wasn't destroyed. "Well, let's go." Lena said as she started to walk, I followed her. "So, where do you think the Market is?" She seemed a little cheerful, as Lili walked away, I noticed a golden necklace.

"I guess over there, I hear a big crowd over there." I said, and then she smiled.

"I can't hear that, I guess you have keen senses?" Lena replied,

"Yeah, I guess so." She laughed, Lena was acting really strange. We found the market and bought various foods, fruit, vegetables and bread. We had to haggle for a few of them, Lena and I walked out of the market area with our hands full. Just then as we were about to leave the walls of the market, three men in armor walked in the direction we were walking out. The symbol on their capes were familiar, they were the ones on the banner hanging over Scrarfaux's castle. I jumped out of sight pulling Lena with me.

"Those are Scrarfaux's men!" I peeked over the corner, following the soldiers was a mage.

"Find Cepter, and capture him. If he denies, kill him! And kill anyone with him!" The mage ordered as the soldiers drew their weapons. The soldiers looked around and asked to see if anyone had seen us. I wasn't worried until they started asking around the produce stand. We bought from him, he would have seen us, and he was likely to find us. The shop owner pointed us out, I heard Lena gasp and then the soldier raised his sword, and killed the owner. I felt I surge inside me of anger. He brutally cut the owner head in half, even after he easily complied with him. The first scream came from a woman who witnessed the murder; this was followed by the woman being stabbed. The whole market went nuts! People were running for their lives, just to be stricken down by the three men. They started towards us; I felt heat coursing through me. I felt my eyes change; this was my next experience with Shingun.

I stood up, I let them get as close as they wanted.

"Cepter, you will come with us or perish." I stood there looking into the eyes of the killer. He signaled the other two to grab Lena. As they passed, I realized what would probably happen to her. I remembered the whores in Scrarfaux's room. My hands reached out to the two, clenched their foreheads, and destroyed their skulls, right there. I realized I didn't kill them out of hate; it was fear… for Lena…
