Yousei's Story
Chapter 2
The sky hidden by leaves of green and purple, the ground covered by grass, fallen leaves, and exposed roots. Glowing orbs float around casually, making their way to and from a glowing pool of water which gave a magical and calming feeling. Miscellaneous squirrels and rabbits run about and went about their business, making a life for themselves. The regular giant spider toadied about, trying to make a meal for itself. Small towns, build right into the very trees themselves, were scattered about. Long eared, purple skinned people could be seen walking around within these tree homes, one of which had white hair, in a tie-back, and sported the customary Priest garbs of which were a long robe in a yellow and off-green fashion.
Yousei chatted back and forth with another Elf wearing a similar robe. Hands waved about, giggles echoed out from time to time, and those that passed by would give that odd glace and just shrug it off.
"Well, Moralz," Yousei said to her friend, a tall male Night Elf with long blue hair, "thank you for the chat, but I must be off." She bowed politely.
Moralz, a nickname, nodded, "Very well. I have things to attend to as well. May Elune be with you." He bowed to her.
"And with you, as well." She smiled and waved. She turned away, and walked down the slope inside the tree to the door at the bottom. She walked out into the open air and took a deep breath, enjoying the sent that hung about the place. The smell of nature. Yousei took another quick breath and moved on. She had rounds to make, blessings to give, and minor mounds to mend. As was the way of the Sisterhood.

On the other side of the world, in the Mage Quarter located in the human city of Stormwind, was a regular looking Inn known as 'The Slaughtered Lamb'. It had a regular looking Barkeeper, who sold regular looking drinks. But in the back of the tavern, lay a not so regular passage, that lead to a not so regular catacomb beneath the tavern, and in these tunnels where not so regular people with regular looking demons at their sides. But deeper down, among the cob webs and old bones, under the watchful eye of Acolyte Porena, a young man went about casting words of a dark and powerful magic. In the summoning circle in front of him, a mist started to swirl round and a form started to take place. A tall, horned creature, with hooves, whip, and wings, appeared to challenge her summoner. The Demon locked eyes with the boy and hissed long and cold. The man didn't not falter and quickly casted another spell. The demon's expression quickly changed to that of pure fear and began to run to the far corner of the room. The man fallowed up with another spell, a bolt of shadow launched from his hand and to the Demon, which vanished with a cry.
Porena smiled, "Good work, Young Ryuuzachi. You have passed your test. You have proven yourself worthy of commanding the seductive powers of the Succubus." She handed him a scroll of paper, "Give that to Gakin and he shall teach you the words to call upon that creature at your will."
Ryuuzachi took the paper and smirked medicinally, "Thank you." He said plainly and left the room, heading through the passages back to his superior.
"Congratulation, few make it this far." Gakin shook Ryuu's hand, "What are you going to do now?"
Ryuu took a long hard stare at his mentor, then carefully, he said, "I'm going to go to Westfall." He smirked and walked off, to rejoin the regular Stormwind crowds.

Yousei had taken a small group of children into the wilderness to teach them about the local flora and fauna. She was currently leaning over a sample of Peacebloom, explaining the proper technique used to pick it without losing the benefits it provides when making potions. Yousei had turned around to place the flower in her bag, when there was a bright purple flash. For what seemed like eternity, Yousei was in a world between worlds, moving at an incredible rate. In reality, she was only in this other world for a fraction of a second and she found herself in a vast land. There were a few trees and hills. She could see a few farms in the distance. Wolves, vultures, and boars seemed to wander the landscape.
"Good work, Master! It worked!"
"Of course it worked, you idiot. I'm not some second rate mage."
"Oh, and the thing you pulled over is kind of cute too!"
"I care not of what came through, I'm just proud that the spell worked. Now, let us be off."
Yousei blinked, these voices coming from right behind her. She spun around in time to see Ryuuzachi in a red robe, a small imp at his side, walking away from her.
"Hey! E-excuse me!" Yousei called, "Where am I? What happened? How did I get here?"
Ryuuzachi turned and answered, "Westfall, me, you were summoned. Good day." Then he continued to walk away.
Yousei blinked, unsure of what to do. So looked around the bare landscape once more, and noticed a tower over the next hill and started towards it.
