Chapter Two
The apprentices
Falcon proceeded through the kitchen and into the entrance room. Inside he
was met by Swift, Teza and her familiar Jackle, and Raven and his familiar
Night whom was a Crow. Swift landed on his shoulder then four people turned
to face him. A mage in red robes turned to him and smiled.
"Hello" the mage said " my name is Theo's and I will be... well monitoring
you while you do your tasks for the cowled ones. These are the apprentices"
now turning toward the apprentices he pointed to a tall women in blue robes
with fiery red hair on the right. "This is Naria" His finger continued down
the line to the man in the middle who wore violet robes and had brown hair
around the same height as Naria. " This is Morul and last but not least
this is Larz" pointing to a smaller mage on the far left who had a green
robe on and was looking kind of nervous. "Now you all know each other I
must be going, good day" with this he threw some gem dust into the air and
teleported away.
"Well hello you three" said Falcon "Now that your here I'll show you to your rooms and then I'll let you prepare some spells before we teleport out to the forest where you are going to cast a familiar spell any questions?"
"No" they all said in harmony.
"Well then this is Teza" Falcon said pointing a hand towards Teza smiled and gave a nod
"And this is Raven my mentor and they and they're familiars will be joining us." he said pointing to Raven whom also gave a half hearted nod.
"Now I have some things to attend to. Raven if you could give them the tour I will be in my room."
Falcon walked back threw the sphere to the work shop the furnace gave off heat as he walked by and grabbed a sack off the wall and pulled out cauldron which he poured water in and laid on top of the furnace and went up stairs sat on his bed and prepared the most deadly of offensive spells. When he was done grabbed the sack from which he took from the workshop and laid his spell book along with the darts he bought in the adventure mart in his backpack and went back down to the work shop. Once there he took the sack and dumped the contents inside the cauldron and it began to turn a greenish. He took his pack and opened it and laid all the darts out on the bench, and grabbed a pair of gloves from the wall, and put them on. He walked over to the cauldron and took it off the furnace and began to fill the darts with the toxic substance. When he was about half done He heard a voice behind him it was Zygal "What's in that it smells horrible." he said
"Its Wolfs Bane" Falcon Replied "you know poison."
"Well then those darts are going to be deadly." Zygal said " So who they for."
"I thought I'd give them to the apprentices" Falcon replied " say go and get the apprentices and the then go to the Copper Cornet and get three of those shoulder belts."
"Ok. Hand over the cash" he said as Falcon handed him a couple of ruby's and an emerald. Zygal left the room and Falcon called after him. "Hurry and I want the change." A few minutes later the apprentices came in just as falcon finished filling the darts with the poisonous liquid. "Ok see these bundles of darts of 40 each" at that moment Zygal came through the door. "Here Falcon I have them." Zygal said
"Good hand them out, then I need you to go and get Raven and Teza to come here while tell the others to get there gear, and meet us in the entrance." said Falcon leaning on his staff. "Now each of you fill your shoulder belts and be careful"
"Why what is in these darts." said Naria" It almost looks like Wolfs bane, but surely can't be serious..." she stopped there with the last dart, she knew she was right by the look on Falcons face.
"You seem somewhat surprised. Sure if you get in trouble you have your spells, but you need to be deadly for they run out." with those words from Falcon.
"I understand. "Said Naria
"I'm glad you do." said Falcon "Now go and get any gear you need, and meet us in the kitchen for lunch." with this the apprentices walked up the spiral stair case. "Well love what do you think of our guests?" said Teza walking over to
"Well hello you three" said Falcon "Now that your here I'll show you to your rooms and then I'll let you prepare some spells before we teleport out to the forest where you are going to cast a familiar spell any questions?"
"No" they all said in harmony.
"Well then this is Teza" Falcon said pointing a hand towards Teza smiled and gave a nod
