"What the hell!?" Cried Katie, summing up the groups feelings.
"Magic, an illusion. Designed to make the junk more desirable. I felt something wrong but couldn't tell what. I only realized a few seconds ago."
"And that thing with you waving your hand?" Asked Chad.
"I'm not sure, instinct I suppose."
"Who are you, really?" Asked Christoph. "You have the air and tongue of a druid but you are unpracticed and it shows, all of you, seem two people at once. I wonder." With that he launched him self at Nick P. drawing a sword he had apparently kept hidden in hid robes. Immediately in response Nick drew hid own short sword and blocked it perfectly. Christoph drew back to make another attack. As the others finally regained their whit's enough to start advancing the trader yelled to hold, unsure they paused and started again.
"Hold, damn it and you will learn something of your selves." The crazed man yelled attacking. Back and forth they parried. Nick P.'s moves that had started out ragged and stiff were becoming smoother until finally he threw Christoph's sword from his hand.
"Well done elf, you almost had me a few times a little earlier but you need to be a little more aggressive on you attack, you done push it hard enough." He spent the next few minutes pointing out minor flaws in Nick P.'s technique.
"Well this certainly explains everything, you all have some things to learn before you go traipsing around the county side"
"What are you talking about? And why the hell did you go after Nick like that?" Cried Jen.
"Shut up, I need none of your whining, I did it to teach him something and to show the rest of you something. I am a seer, a fortuneteller of sorts for those who know not of my trade. I have visions of the future, I also have some minor ties with the druid from some years back, helped me out of some, ah, dissatisfied customers." He trailed off.
"Un huh, we can guess. So you were saying about us learning, I happen to know all the past adventures about the Ohmsfords, and all about the layout of the Four Lands, all I needed was a current events update which I got from you." Said Nick M. haughtily. He was not fast enough to miss the swat to the head from Christoph.
"You need to respect people that have information and advice that may help you more. Now then as I was saying before so rudely interrupted, as a seer I have visions of the future, I saw one of you and it was rather disturbing. Your arrival has signified the coming of a dark time, any man, woman, or child that has any experience with magic could feel the burst you caused a few nights ago. You might as well have ripped open the sky. In the vision I felt the blast and with it saw you heroes emerging. But be warned I also saw the greatest evil ever know to this land coming too, just the thought of it is enough give me shivers. You 10 are the only hope for the land, the druid Walker was awakened from his druid sleep by you and will no doubt seek you out. He believes he can fix it himself and will defiantly try, but only you 10 can fix that which you have caused.
"Now, lets see what the rest of you can do with your weapons, you could put somebody's eye out if you're not careful." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hey sorry this one took awhile I wasn't sure how to end it so I figured this would do. Also this is just a thought but am I the only one that thinks the ships they are using in the new Disney Treasure Island look like the air ships in the voyages of the Jerle Shannara series? Just a though.
