Ch. 2: A Mutual Waking

Lloy's eyes flickered open. The first thing he noticed was dark and lots of it.

Oh no, he thought, I've either been asleep for a few hours or I've been bli..... His thoughts were interrupted by the realization of the hard floor beneath him. That meant capture. He hoped Jinn was still okay. He slowly rose, bound by tight, biting rope. He opened his eyes again and saw Jinn looking up at, glad to see his friend was okay. We'll at least we're still alive. I just hope nothing happened.... A grumpy looking brigand ran toward them, scowling. As he slowed down he hollered his name,

"Oi! I'm Senta! And if you even think of escapin'........" Senta grinned and pointed to the large axe on his back. Lloy looked down. He could easily assassinate the fool, it's what he was good at, but that would attract attention, which they didn't need. He sat back down next to Jinn.

The boy looks tired, he thought seeing the shadows under Jinn's eyes cast by a nearby fire. He looks almost ghostly. He heard a sharp noise and jerked his head in the direction. He could see columns of flame blasting upward from the ground far off that reminded him of Jinn's elfire spell. In the light of the magic fire he could've sworn he saw a wyvern's shadow, but no wyverns only roosted in Bern. Lloy shook his head and looked back at J inn who was being chewed out by Senta for reaching for a magic tome.

"I just wanted something to read..."

"Now don't you give me that! I've seen you mages before! One peek at that book and I'm a pile o' ashes a few feet back!"

Lloy sighed at looked back at what he could only assume to be a battle. It reminded him of his time with the old Fang for some reason. He remembered back when he was an aspiring to be a full fledged Fang. But that was before She came destroyed the Fang he knew and loved. He shook his head again, as if to shake away the lingering memories. Not here, he thought, No. I'm with the boy now and my duties have changed. He looked back at the boy and saw him sleeping on the tome he had stolen back while Senta was working the fire. He withdrew his hands back into his assassin's cape. A look of surprise flashed on his face, but only for a moment. His blades hadn't been taken. He remembered what the man who sold them to him said- two killing edges can give you an edge on the foe. But he couldn't put the boy in a dangerous position it might trigger.........no. It was enough to know. The boy's soul was aflame. He was one of them.
