A/N: If you like my style of writing, well I was planning to put some up one fictionpress.com but I might not depending on the time I have... PLEASE REVIEW, I know that those who have put stories up would like reviews, just like I do.... so please take five seconds and review. I'm constantly updating my work, including the first chapter so it's always changing, but more with small words, like a word placed wrong or misspelled. Thank you all who reviewed! Sandry was purposely left out, you'll understand why later...Thanks for the information on the book Tamora is writing, hope it's out soon, yeah paraphernalia, when I read back over it, looked really stupid so I took it out, and I hope you continue to review. This next chapter had Tris in it and I...I dunno the word, but I guess I don't know as much about Tris, I only read Shatterglass once, and I'm planning to reread it so if I do something wrong or put something in that isn't supposed to be in there please tell me and I'll correct it. For those who haven't read the Circle Opens books Evvy is Briar's student, Keth is Tris' and Glaki is a child that Tris picked up before heading back to Summersea. Anyway, on with the story!

Rosethorn sat by Briar's bed in the inn. It was after nightfall and the inn had been reluctant to let them stay. Drinking and carousing was still going on downstairs, but had quieted down after Rosethorn had had her say. Her and Evvy were going to share a room, while they let Briar have his own. But after Briar had fallen Rosethorn had ignored that she had a room for herself and pulled a mattress in with Briar. Evvy now had her own room, which she had never had, only a cave shared with others or an inn room shared with Rosethorn or Briar.
Evvy, too, was worried about Briar. She had known him for maybe three months now and he had never needed help. And even if he had he would go to Rosethorn. When Briar fell it had filled Evvy with a premonition of fear. She had never known him to be weak.
Briar was what, some would say, deep inside himself. He felt no magic in him anywhere. It was almost as if he was looking down at himself, from somewhere so far away... like stars were huge and suns were small... like wind was no only air, but a live thing, like animals were nothing and atmosphere was dominant. He wouldn't of known this place is he hadn't been here before. When he had gone after Rosethorn. A place just like it, only instead of being ready for him, like it was for Rosethorn; it had no magic, no life. Death was all around; no plants or gardens to take care of. It was a gray; barren place full of misery, and Briar didn't like it here.

Trisana Chandler walked down a plank way into Sotat, Summersea still days away. Why Niko, Niklaren Goldeye, wouldn't just have let her have her way and sail straight to Summersea she was uncertain. Niko, though, always got his way, maybe because he scared people. So Tris didn't argue with him, only grumbled for about four hours that t. He finally retorted here was something he wanted her to see before they went back to Discipline.
She stepped off the gangplank into a city full of depression. She shivered, though lately she wasn't as scared of grime as usual. Maybe Niko had taken her into the poorer parts of cities. A man pulling a small horse, more like a pony, walked past her. The man shouted an insult to her as he passed.
"YOUR RIGHT!" she yelled after him. "I AM A SILLY BLEATER, YOU INBRED PIECE OF..." Niko put a hand on her shoulder. She stopped yelling and quickly glanced at Niko. He had turned around and had gotten back on the ship. He was paying the captain. She turned to the man who was making faces at her. She ran her fingers along a braid that was wrapped around her head, and flicked a miniature lighting blot at the man. He turned and ran; common men shouldn't interfere with mages. Keth came off the ship after Niko had gone back on. He was carrying Chime, her glass dragon, and Glaki. Glaki was going to Winding Circle. Then, after Tris had left Glaki, hoping she fit in, Tris would head to Discipline, where she hoped Sandry, Daja, and Briar were. Little Bear romped off the ship after Niko, who had come back down the plank. Men carrying luggage followed Niko down.
Tris suddenly felt like something had hit her over the head. It was odd, she thought, she had just had a headache like this yesterday. Her eyes fluttered. She had told Niko about her headache yesterday, but he'd get worried if she told him it happened two days in a row. Her hands went up and she clutched her head. She started to rock back and forth. The pounding in her head wouldn't go away.
"Tris?" asked Keth. Glaki leaned over Keth's arms and tugged on Tris's shirt.
"Tris! Trisana, talk to me!" Niko commanded. This must have been another one of those headaches she had had yesterday. She had described it as skull splitting. She said that if she put her fingers up to her forehead she could feel the headache pounding. Not knowing, of course, that Briar also had had such a headache. So had Daja.
"Keth put down Glaki and Chime and pick Tris up. We must find somewhere to stay at." Niko motioned for the men with the luggage to follow Niko as he set off at a fast pace towards a likely looking house."
Niko rapped on the door of an inn, and an old, hunch-backed man answered the door. "No visitors!"
"We'd like a room, please. Soon."
"No roo... One will be ready in a minute, please come in and relax by the fire." Niko went in and had Keth place Tris on a table. He checked her pulse. There wasn't one. He went to where her magic was. Just like Briar's there was barely any magic left. With a magical hand he scooped up the seed of magic. He nursed it so that it was big enough that he could wake her up. Then, as her eyes began to flutter open, he surrounded it with his magic to keep it from disappearing.
Tris's eyes began to open, but as they opened, she was still somewhere way off. The place was color-less. It had no love or life. The sky was dull, it had no color. There was no wind blowing. Everything was still. Tris felt angry at the place, she wanted to hit it, to kill it. At least make it go away.
As Tris' eyes opened Niko peered into them. They had rolled back into her head and all Niko could see was the white part.
Niko gently slapped Tris's face. She gave no hint of being able to feel it. This is serious, Niko thought, more serious than I thought.

A/N: sorry, I bet so many a/n's are bugging you... all I have to say in this one all I want to know is, does Daja have a student, and if so who? B/c I'm confused with her book Cold Fire and I am going to read it again but I don't know if I'll be done by the time I start my next chapter and that one will have Daja in it. So review and please tell me if you know...
