I OWN NOTHING except Amara and she is mine and if you steal her I will hurt you
This story is about my RPC Amara who helps stop an evil plan to take over Sitia. It is not meant to be serious and not meant to be an insult to the series
Janco woke in the keep cells and a quick check of his person proved that his lock picks were gone.
He looked around and found Ari snoring in his cell, Valek pacing his, Irys and the other Master Magicians asleep, and Ulrick Cowan smiling a ruefull smile.
"Look who joined the party."
"Nice to see you too." Janco sneered. "Having fun it jail?"
"Yes, I hear lots of odd rumors. Such as whats going on in Catidel. Your boss seems worried about something." He pointed to Valek.
Ari woke up and rubbed his head "Well then, that's the second time this week I've been put to sleep."
"We need to find a way out of here," Janco focused.
"But how is the question."
"Ask for help," Zitora had woken up a while ago and was now holding up lock picks.
Janco smiled wide "Where did you get those?"
"They didn't check us when they locked us in here, they never expect anything like this from Master Magicians. they were more worried about our chances of a magical escape." She tossed the picks to Janco.
Janco smirked and picked the lock to his cell. He then tossed the picks to Ari.
"Any plans Valek?" Janco turned to his boss.
Valek stopped his pacing "Pick to locks but stay in, make it look like we're still trapped."
"Your the boss." He plopped down into the straw.
Ari tossed the pick to Valek.
They all heard a click and footsteps on the stone stairs. Valek hid the picks.
Cahil came into view, his facial expressions were a mix of hatred and thoughtfulness.
"Come to gloat?" Valek glared at him.
"No actually, I came to help."
They all looked at him doubtfully. "Really?"
"Yes, as much as I would love to see a noose around your neck this isn't the way it should be done. I assume you have a plan?"
"Yes but it doesn't include you." Valek growled.
"I'm trying to help!" Cahil whispered trying not to yell.
"Fine, when the time comes knock the guards out without being noticed? Can you do that, Prince."
Cahil nodded ignoring the jab, as much as he hated Valek he knew when things were wrong and when it was time to take orders from someone you hate. He left silently.
"Who knew the wannabe prince could be so agreeable." Janco noted.
They all nodded.

"This way," Both Leif and Amara pointed to different paths.
"It's that way!" They both shouted.
"I can smell it, they went that way." Leif pointed.
"I know they went that way?" Amara pointed the other way.
"How do you know?"
"I just do,"
"Oh that's reassuring."
"Would you shut up?"
"Why don't you?"
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" Yelena finally shouted and they both shut their mouths. "Leif what exactly do you smell?"
"Smugness, sorrow, determination. All going that way." He pointed.
"Your trusting magic?" Amara spat the word.
"Yes this is Sitia, magic is a part of daily life." Leif sneered.
"Well where I come from-"
"Nobody is asking you about where you come from."
"Shut up!" Yelena shouted again. "Man is it me or do you bicker more with her then you do with me?"
"Trust me little sister, I wouldn't be able to bicker with anyone more then I bicker with you."
"Good so shut up and let me think." Yelena rubbed her temples.
She tried to reach anyone she knew Anybody there?
Yelena? She heard Dax in her mind.
Thank fate, where are you?
In Rye visiting my uncle, what are you doing here?
Leif and I were captured by someone who is controlling the council.
You attract so much bad attention. I knew something was going wrong with the council. He paused. Come to Rye, I might be able to help.
Yelena brought her awareness back and found Leif and Amara argument about something else.
"Are you two ever going to shut up?"
"Maybe, maybe not." They both shrugged.
"Well Dax is in Rye visiting his uncle so he told us to come by and he might be able to help."
"Dax?" Amara never heard his name before.
-----------
They reached Rye in a few minutes and Dax was at the edge of the town to greet them.
"He's...Dax?" Amara looked at him.
"Yes," Yelena wondered why Amara was so interested.
Dax's face reminded her of her father, it was impossible, sure her father had a twin but he was killed by Valek....wasn't he?
"Come on, we should get you guys inside, your death warrant was just sent through a glass messenger." He set a fast pace and the others followed.
"You guys are in so much trouble." He beamed when they were back at his uncle's house.
"And let me guess, you want to live vicariously through me again." Yelena rolled her eyes.
"How else will I get close to adventure?" He grinned, he eyed Amara who was out of ear shot. "Whose the girl?"
"Her name is Amara, she is part of Valek's special corps. She's been helpful but there is something odd about her." Yelena noted. "Her soul is conflicted, she is unsure and there was an odd change when she saw you." Her gaze fixed on Dax. "I skimmed her surface thoughts and she was thinking of her father and her father's twin, his twin had magic."
They all paused, they knew what it meant to have magic in Ixia.
"Well, any help I can be?" Dax asked.
"Get us into Catidel."
"That's going to be hard considering your death warrant but I think I might be able to manage." He looked over to Amara who was now playing with his uncle's dog. "She might be able to pass as a Greenblade but you guys might have to go as Krystal clan members or maybe Featherstone." He shrugged heading upstairs. "I'll go fetch you guys clothes."
