A/N: Thanks if you reviewed in the last chapter. The same key applies here
as the last chapter. I have decided to switch to first person. I'll write
this way for the rest of the story. It's easier for me.
Another A/N: I want you to meet my dragon muse Comet. *Bows to the readers* OK now move so we can start the story. *Comet walks away grumbling.* If you want to find more about Comet go to my bio. Now on to the story!!!
P.S. Since FF.net dosen't seem to like italics anything that should be in italics will be put in this- /.../
Disclaimer-I don't own anyone. Get it. Got it. Good.

Chapter 2
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Sandry (Entrance hall to the Duke's Citadel)
I stood there waiting for Briar. I just couldn't believe he was back. It was so long since I've seen him. I was in the middle of wondering how much he might have changed when I noticed something happening at the front gate.
'Oh No.' I thought to my self. 'I forgot to let the guards know I was expecting company.'
I quickly ran to the font gate. When I got there I quickly realized what happened. Briar must have come to the gate with his student Evvy. The guards not knowing I was expecting anyone and never having seen Briar before must have gotten suspicious and tried to kick him out.
When I got to the gate I saw about five guards trying to get Briar and a girl about three to four years younger than him, who I could only guess was Evvy, away from the main gate.
When I got close enough I could hear Briar talking to the guards.
"I swear Sandry is expecting me."
"Yeah right." One of the guard said to him. "I have specific instructions not to let anyone in by /Lady/ Sandreline herself."
I quickly ran the rest of the way to the gate. "Guards. I'm sorry for this dreadful misunderstanding." I said when I go to the gate
"There has been no misunderstandings Lady we were just trying to evict these two from the area." The main guard told me.
"Oh yes there has. You see I was expecting Mage Briar and his student but I completely forgot to tell you." I said to him.
"You don't mean Briar Moss the plant Mage." One of the younger guards said in an astonished voice.
"That is exactly who she means." I heard Briar say under his breath.
"Well OK" the main guard said hesitantly "since you are expecting him."
"Thanks. Oh also can you put Briar and Evvy on The /List/."
"The /List/. are you sure."
"Yes I'm sure. Come on Briar, Evvy."
I then turned around and walked down the walkway. Briar came to walk beside me. "What's The /List/?" Briar asked finally.
"The /List/ is all the people that can come and go from the citadel as they please." I turned and finally took a long look at him. He was taller than when he left. But other than that he pretty much looked just like the same Briar who left Summersea a year ago. The same twinkle in his green eyes (A/N: They are green right I'm to lazy to go up and check). The same mischievious smile. Yet I knew something had really changed him. I knew he had grown up from the thief I had first meet in Dicipline cottage five years ago.

Briar
After settling the disagreement at the gate Sandry took me and Evvy to a well furnished room in the citadel. On the way there we passed several extremely fancy rooms. Having been in the Duke's citadel before I wasn't that astonished with all the expensive things around us but Evvy had another reaction.
"Oh my gosh Briar!" She whispered excitedly pulling on my sleeve. "look at that." She pointed to a tapestry of all of Summersea. "It must have cost at least 60 silver astrels." I peered more closely at the tapestry and noticed flashes of honey yellow magic in the tapestry.
I smiled and looked at my student. "No, I don't think it cost that much." I told her.
"Why not?" She stared at me questionably. "I know good weaving when I see it and that is the best I've ever seen."
"Well I don't think if would cost that much because Sandry was the one who wove it."
When we got to the room Sandry motioned to us to sit down. When we sat down Sandry began talking. "I still can't believe you came back early. Why did you come back early?"
"Well we finished all we had to do early and Rosethorn was pineing for her plants. So we decided to come home early....." I was then interrupted by someone knocking on the door. I looked over to the door.
"Come in." Sandry said to the person knocking. The door opened to reveal the guard who tried to stop Evvy and I from getting in.
"Lady Sandreline, Mage Lark and your apprentice Pasco Acalon." The guard said stepping aside to reveal Lark and a boy about 13 who I guessed was Pasco. Then the guard left.
I looked up and smiled at Lark. She smiled too. "Briar it's good to see you again." She said to me. She then came and gave me a welcoming hug. Then she turned to Sandry who was discussing something to Pasco. "Sandy my dear. I have come to tell you something of great importance."
Sandry turned to Lark questionably. "What is it Lark?" she said in a worried voice.
"The mages in the seeing-room has just foretold something."
"Yes, what was it Lark?" I asked curiously.
"They foresaw something happening at the ball you are planning."
"The ball? Are you sure? Because we can't postpone it. "Sandry said worriedly.
"I know you can't dear but it would make me fell better if Briar was there with you."
"Me? Why me Lark?" I asked her.
"I would feel more comfortable with you there Briar because you know the four of your powers are always stronger when you are closer to each other."
"Oh." I replied stupidly. "But how would the other people at the ball think of having a former thief attend a ball."
"Well you can always be my escort." Sandry said.
"What? Don't you need a duke or someone else equally important to escort you?" I asked her.
"Not necessarily. I think a well known mage would be good enough."
"Well. OK, but what about Evvy?"
"She can come as well. She can be Pasco's partner."
"WHAT!!!" Pasco yelled. I jumped about five feet in the air. I had completely forgotten that Pasco and Evvy were still in the room. By the look of Sandry and Lark they forgot too. "I'm not taking her to the ball." He gave an apraizing look at Eve who looked pretty bad since we had just come from the road.
"Yes, you are if you want to keep dancing. "Sandry said.
"But..."
"No buts Pasco. You are going with Evvy."
"OK." He said reluctantly.
"Good. Now that that's settled we must find something for you and Evvy something nice to wear." She said to me.
"How about if I find something for Briar and you can find something for Evvy?" Lark said.
"OK Lark. Come on Evvy."
Evvy followed Sandry out of the room leaving me, Pasco, and Lark alone. "Don't you have a dancing lesson to go to Pasco?" Lark questioned Pasco.
"Oh no! Yazmin's gonna kill me!" He exclaimed and ran out of the room.
We stared after him for a moment when Lark finally said "I guess we had better go find something for you to wear Briar. Come on."
