Chapter 4: Old Hag, Mysterious Bag
"You insabordenate fool!!!" comes from the midst of an ally as Kidib lands in a smoldering pile on the ground. "I sapose I should left him alive to get the pendent. Now I have to do it alone... Or I can get that dumb barbarian i saw in the bar to do it." Snikering to himself, "I'l just take that losers name on the ground there. Yea. Kidib may be an elven name but i can pass it off as my own." Walking away down the ally "Kidib" flips his hood up and walks through the allys of the city.
As he walks he comes across a building with a single light through the window. Apon entering he gets hit in the face witht he strong smell of buring insence. From the back of the store comes an old hag in torn and lanky cloths, "Your late you were sapose to be here 20 minutes ago."
"How do you know who I am. I have never seen you before. I do not even know why I am in here." He makes for the door but stops when the old hag speaks.
"Your here for the same reason why you killed Kidib. Your here for the ame reason you want the barbarian. Your here for the same reason why you left your family. Curiosity. You see your curiosity is what drives you. You want to explore, and it is also your curiosity that makes you slaughter those who fail you. You see the more your curiosty is the more you want it. You listen to rumors and you want to no the tur----"
"Shut up you old hag. You know nothing about me." He screams
"You see, that is where you are wrong. I know everything about you." The hag walks to an old rocking chair and sits down, and bigens to rock slowly. "I have been watching you for along time. You can even say... I was at your birth . Even your death."
"What... What are you talking about. I am still here. How can you be at my death." he says in a panick.
"It is quite easy, but my methods will not be reviled to the likes of you...Just yet. See your not ready for my powers, but you will be one day. My days are running thin and I need to pass my wisdom to a worthy student."
"What kind of powers are you talking about." the wizard ask's with intrest.
"Well, for you thing your name is not Kidib now is it Kistrig."
"How did you no," Kistirg said shocked.
"Well I no alot more than just your acctually name. I no your past... Present... and Future." says the hag slowly.
"Well thats all fine and dandy, but that still doesn't help the fact that you wasted my time." Kistrig moves to leave, but again is drawn back by the hags voice.
"You see you are to be my pupil, and eventually you will recive my power. but not untill you have gained enough wisdom to be worthy enough to recive my power."
"Why don't you just give them to me now," Kistirg conjers a fire ball in his hand and launches it at the hag. with lighting speed the hag moves herself from the rocking chair that is now in a smoldering heap to be hind the young wizard and grabs a hold of the back of his head.
"You still have lots to learn young one. Do not press your luck. You will understand soon enough." The hag throws him through the back window. Landing on the hard dirt he slips into blackness and lays limp on the ground.

"Uhhhhhhhhh.......What happened" Standing up and looking around the wizard recalls the events of last night. "Stupid old hag," he mutters and starts to walk twords the street. "Now where is that barbarian at.I'll try back at the bar." He heads for the bar.
Its early morning and the sun is just peaking over the hils surronding the east side of the city. There are vendor setting up along side of the road but other than that it is quite.
After about 20 minuets the bar appears in his sights. He eneters the bar to find no one is in it but the bartender who is cleaning tables and picking up chair's. "Where not open yet," the bartender says.
"Thats ok. I will wait for you to open," wizard says and makes his way for the corner.
"No I do not this you understand what I said....." The bartender cuts off and just goes back to work. The wizard snickers.
"Simple minded fools. So easily tricked," using his mind the wizard makes himself invisable to the bartenders eyes. Sitting in the corner, the wizard sits and awaits the arival of the barbarian.
Two hours later the wizard looks up to see the barbarian comming down the staires. Dressed in a ratty tunic and a belt the barbarian sits at the bar and talks with the bartender. The wizard use's his mind once agian to levatate the barbarians wallet over to his hand. This will be a good way for him to make a new friend.
