"You took your sweet time coming down!" Rosethorn scolded them ",We have important work to do!"

The four children scurried after Rosethorn as she strode down the paved paths of winding circle. Rosethorn abruptly came to a stop in front of the hub tower.

"Tris this is your stop. Go to the top, Niko's waiting." With that Rosethorn resumed her brisk walk.

"Daja your going to the wall to help Frostpine. Here's your coin give it to the guard" she handed Daja the coin ",Go girl Frostpines waiting!" she gave Daja a little shove before leading the Sandry and Briar to a small building they had never seen before.

"We will be making charms aginst ambient mages and other magics." Rosethorn guestured towards the two seats. "We have got a request from the East District for a powerful containing charm. They didn't explain why. But Daja and Frostpine will be making the cuffs and chain, Briar will be chopping and crushing these plant leaves,"

Rosethorn handed Brair a slate, with a long list of plants that needed to be prepared and cut. He groaned at the effort that was going to have to go into each plant before being cut.

Sandry's wasn't much better. She had to pour constraining magic into a thread which would be coated by the metal Daja was preparing. She sighed and took the first peice of string.

Brair grumbled as he began to scrub the leaves with a lotion.

I wonder how Daja and Tris are doing

Sweat poured down Daja's face as she bent the iron into the right shape. This particular iron was known for its strength and difficulty to use.

Well its a challagne. she thought and watched Frostpine as he heated the metal once again before poring strengthing magic into the metal. Daja wrenched the iron with her bare hands into a circular shape before shoving back in the fire and hunching over, breathing deeply.

"How you doing Daja?" called Frostpine as he finished his cuff. "Now we will be putting constraining spells on the chains we made before. I can't imagine wait they want with this much security. Maybe a muderous mage." He unhooked a large chain they had made a week ago from the wall and tossed it to her like a pillow.

"Ooof" she wheezed as the chain knocked her to the floor.

"Well I can see this is going to be interesting" said Frostpine as he looked down at her.

Alanna woke up in a cell. "Wow, I hurt." she muttered.

She wondered how she was going to get out. They obviously had magic here so she guessed there was something on the cuffs to keep her from using magic. But would it prevent her type of magic? Her purple fire envolped the cuffs and Alanna willed them to break. In return for her effort she got a painful shock that made her hands go momentarily numb.

"Ow" she winced. Working acwardly she managded to get her lock pick from her trousers. She looked at the cuffs and reliased there was no lock. "How did they get them on then?"

she muttered agrily.

Trying agian with her magic she yanked at the chains hoping her gift could yank them from the wall. This time the chains glowed red hot, burning Alanna. She was known for her temper. She screamed a string of curses and lashed the chains with her power. Cursing she continued yanking until a guard passed.

"Shut up, you can't break them witch. Your giving me a head ache" he told her angrily.

"Me, shut up? Your dreaming. If you want me to shut up you will give me mother f--ing keys!"

"Sorry Its not up to me"

"If you don't let me go and tell me what the charges are, I swear I will break out and ring your --ing neck with my bare hands you son of a --, coward, bastard,manipultaing..."

she continued ranting for a hour or more her face matching her hair. Finally she fell asleep exsauted. The guard began to walk away.

"I'm not done with you you, you for the first time she ran out of curses. If only George could see her now. He thought he taught her enough curses. Maybe he was wrong.

They never really explain what Alanna sounds like in a temper. If she had her sword I'm guessing something would be dead. Anyway hope you enjoyed. Please R&R
