Many different people participated in it and some may have been uncreative. So take this fic with a grain of salt ok? Thanks. Now chapter 2.

The New Arrival from Sky Arena.
-----------------------------
"Well this town looks interesting" he thought. "A Nice quite place to relax. Not like that last place."

"Hey! Hey newcomer!" The voice of a youth sounds from the town. He looks up to see a boy of about 16 or 17 running downhill at him.

"You must be new here. Let me be the first to welcome you to the town of Vale."

"Uh yes thank you. Do I know you?"

"You do now! Names Ian. A new resident of this town much like yourself."

"I am Word." Replied the man.

"And where would you be coming from Word?"

"Sky Arena."

"S-S-SKY ARENA?! You're a fighter?"

"Yeah. Sort of."

"I was right. This place IS gonna get interesting."

"Interesting? What do you mean?"

"You mean you don't know?" He points to Mt. Aleph. "The holiest mountain in all of Angara erupts and you didn't know it?"

"Mount Aleph erupted? Sigh. Perfect there are bound to be hundreds of tourists here now. They'll find me for sure."

"I'm not to sure about that."

"Why do you say that?"

Suddenly Ian bends down and picks up a rock on the ground.

"Do you know what this is?"

"That's...a psynergy stone!"

"Correct. This is only a small one. Some rocks a hundred times this size have been falling from the sky. The only tourists here are gonna be curious warriors. So if you're hiding this might be the best place to stay."

"Well why not. It's not like I had a better idea."

"Cool. Let me go introduce you to the other guys."

"Other guys? There's more than just you?"

"Oh sure. You're about the 10th in 5 days."

"Wow. This world is full of fool hardy adventurers."

"Yup I guess so. Let's go meet the others."
---------------------------
After a brief tour around town Word had met with some of the residents. Some nice ones like Nasek and Jibmao. And some of the grumpy ones like Pyro and Shadow. Now Ian was taking him to the bar.

"This is the best place in all of Vale. Kiono's bar serves the best stuff."

"I see."

"Yeah. Slash and Cato should be there to. You'll want to say hi to them. There pretty strong."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Of course they were never Sky Arena fighters."

"........."

They reached the bar and Ian introduced Word to Cato and Slash. It became apparent, despite his strength, that everyone treated Ian like a little brother. It was not a feeling he seemed to appreciate.

After awhile Cato spoke up.

"Hey Ian. I haven't ever seen an elf before. I thought you all stayed in a forest and couldn't leave."

"Uhhh yeah that was the rule."

"But your here. So that means."

Ian smirked a little. "Yeah I broke away from my whole clan. I couldn't stand those wimps anymore. They were all losers. To philosophical for me."

"Yeah I can see how you wouldn't be the philosophical type." Slash said.

A round of laughter was heard. Ian took no notice. Choosing instead to practice patience. Suddenly Cato got up.

"Well I got to go do some stuff." Cato said. "I'll see you guys around."

"LIAR!" Slash shouted. "You're going to see Katrina!"

"SHUT UP!" Cato stomped out.

"Who is Katrina?" Ian and Word echoed.

"Some girl who's taking care of Dora in the house up north. She comes in here occasionally."

"Heh. Cato's got a girlfriend? Oh I could tease him about this forever." Ian replied.

"I wouldn't." Slash said looking serious. "After all someday you'll discover girls."

"OH, SHUT UP! If the battle arena in town wasn't so messed up I'd fight you right now!"

"Yeah" Word added. "We could really use some sort of a coliseum or something."

"A coliseum? Hey I could build one!" Ian responded.

Another round of laughter.

"You? Build a coliseum? HAH! I'd love to see that!" Slash taunted.

"Just because I'm young doesn't mean I'm weak! I'll show you!"

Ian barged out of the bar and off towards the plains.

"You think he's actually gonna do it?" Word asked.

"Nah. He'll quit by day 2."
----------------------------
Two weeks later. Ian's coliseum was coming along nicely. His mastery of wind power, combined with the help of Nym, his familiar, allowed him to make great progress. Back at Vale Slash was skulking at the inn. Suddenly the innkeeper shouted.

"Hey Word! You've got some mail here!"

"Really? Ok." Word comes downstairs and opens the two letters. He reads the first:

Dear Word:
I heard you were in Vale. Good to hear. They'll never think
of looking for you there. You should be safe for awhile. I'll deter
any pursuers.
From, Hal.

"Bless you Hal. Always a great friend."

The second letter had far less inviting news.

Dear Word:
Keep on the lookout. I heard that there is a group of
so-called "Adept Exterminators" roaming the country side. After what
happened in Vale they'll probably be heading that way. They may
already be there. Keep your profile low. See you later. At least I
hope I see you later.
From, Greg.

Word's blood ran cold as he finished reading the second letter. This could be trouble.
