Snowpelt

A render is anything that is taken from it's original background to be used in a new one basically., to answer that question. As for the signature itself, I could likely do something with it, but I'm rather busy lately and someone else would likely be able to have it to you before me.

7/10

I assume you intend on shrinking the images a bit? Most forum sigs are about 400-600 long and 100-300 tall. Also, if you want to try to blend them a bit more, try using the blur tool on the edges, makes them look a bit less cut? if that makes seance.

I can get you CS_5 portable if you want.

I'm back, not really, but I'm posting another story. Not really, just a short story, what's here is what there is, so its not a bloody huge story like my last few. Anyway, anyone remember me? No? Didn't think so. I'm just Snowpelt, the storyteller, rather fond of what I am and all that. Anyhow, this is just a bit of a sad short story I wrote a while back. Not sure why I wrote it (Well, yes I do, but I'm not going to get into that) but its been so long since I've posted a story here I decided to :3 Well, hope everyone enjoys it. If you have a question, leave a comment. I don't know why you would have a question, if you want to know why I don't think you would, leave a comment. If you have a comment, leave a comment. Otherwise, don't leave a comment :3 A New Day You don't want to do this, take my hand, Fox Your right... I don't want to do this. I didn't want to do any of this. Fact is, it happened. Soro was frantic now, and she grabbed for her friend. He looked at her sadly. I swear, if you jump, I fully intend to follow. Fox's face darkened and he looked down at the cliff edge he was standing on. His clothes were ragged, and he was thin, like he hadnt eaten in days. He was covered with cuts and buses, like he had barely survived a fight, and his red hair was dirty and ragged. Don't kill yourself over me, I'm not worth it. Just leave me be, its better this way... He replied, his red hair falling over his gray-blue eye's, covering his tears. He took another step towards the edge, his feet partially hanging over the side. Soro ran forward and hugged him tightly, her long brown hair covering one of her bright blue eyes. If you go, I go. She said stubbornly, tears running down her face. Thunder cracked in the distance, the moonlit night was darkened by gray rainclouds. Wind whirled around them, pulling at there clothes. That's not fair Soro. My life has no meaning anymore.. You can go, live your life. Forget about me. All I ever did was cause trouble, only made things worse. Its better this way... He said sadly. I'm not going to let you kill yourself. If you don't want to live for yourself, live for me. I don't want to live without you. There are still lots of people who care about you, think of the lives your death would hurt. Fox looked down at the girl. The girl who had followed him, who had risked her life to find him, and the girl who cared enough about his life, to use her own to keep him alive. Do I mean that much to you.. He asked softly. Yes. She replied, hugging him even tighter. A flash of lightning lit the sky, and thunder exploded around them. He pushed Soro away and stared down off the cliff. I don't want my life to mean anything, to anyone... I'm just not worth it Soro.. Go back home. Forget you ever met me. Live your life! You still have a chance! You can live the way I never could, without the pain and loss I'd bring you. I'm just not bloody worth it. He looked down at Soro, she was on her knees now, crying softly. Her cheeks were red and her normally bright blue eye's seemed drained of color. Don't leave me... She whispered softly. Rain started to fall gently around them. The once bright, moonlit night, was now almost completely black. Fox dropped to his knees, completely lost in sorrow. For you then. He whispered, then fell unconscious to the ground in front of Soro. The girl grabbed him and hugged him tightly. Tomorrow is a new day. Maybe eventually, you can forget, leave the pain of your past behind. It won't be easy, but I'll be here for you. No matter what happens.. Soro whispered into the air. Always.

Well, it seems I sort of messed up the chapter numbering somehow... Also jsut a quick warning, this is still a draft. I have been changing the names of Silvia and Triss are all mixed up. Also there is no henley, she no longer exists. the story is a bit mixed up currently... But its just a draft to it will be fixes eventually. Enjoy :D Chapter eleven: A trap and a mistake Ugh whats taking them so long. Mina thought as she waited in the top of a large pine tree. She was looking down on a tent a little way form the camp. It was a cream colored tent and it looked like a white smug in the darkness. She had been waiting for two hours after sunset, waiting, just waiting silently in the tree. If her trap was to work she couldn't afford to make any noise that might give away her position. She had three throwing knifes ready, all rarer sharp and deadly. Throwing knifes were her favorite weapons because they could be thrown and used in close rang to stab. She was beginning to loos feeling in her legs when she saw three dark shapes moving turds the tent. Finally. she muttered getting her knifes ready. All of the sudden she saw a light appeared in the hand of one of the men and she smelled the sent of rosemary. No! she whispered in horror. One of them is a mage. She was stunned for a minute then she shook herself and threw her knife at the mage. She saw the light of the mages fire glint of the blade of the knife and it flew turds him. At the last second the mage seemed to notice the knife and stepped out of the way and the knife hit the third man and he fell without a sound. He looked right at Mina and she saw the fire split and half of it came flying at her. She just had enough time to jump before the fire hit the tree and it went up in flames. She screamed as she went hurtling turds the ground. Oramis! Get out of the tent! She saw a light come on in the tent and a flash of blue light and the smell of mint came shooting out of the tent and hit the other man, killing him. As the man crumpled to the ground the mage screamed in anger. I'll kill you all for his death! Mina had just enough time to grab a branch that wasn't on fire and she pulled herself up onto it. She looked and saw the mage, a girl she realized, starting to glow. Shes going to sacrifice herself to kill us all! Will yelled, he grabbed Oramis and ran for the camp, now alive with activity at the sound of the yelling and the light of the burning tree. Mina dropped to a lower branch and from that branch to the ground and started running, past the glowing mage and turds the camp. When she was about twenty feet past the mage she felt a invisible force grab her. A feeling of absolute terror washed over her. She was being pulled turds the mage. The mage herself, was still glowing and getting brighter every second. Help! she yelled. She saw Will running turds her and in her mind knew she couldn't make it. Bracing herself she knew what she had to do. She pulled out her two remaining knifes and took aim at the mage. She threw her knife. It flew turds the mage and hit her right in the chest, but to Mina's horror she saw it bounce of the the light emanating form the mage. Now she can only be killed by a stab to the throat! Will yelled as he ran faster turds Mina. Wonderful. She muttered. She was five feet away form the mage now and the mages light almost hurt to look at now. Mina took in a deep breath and threw herself at the mage stabbing at her throat. Right before she stabbed the mage it shot a ball of energy and it went right by Mina barely missing her. She stabbed the mage and it fell. Mina looked at her knife and saw it was glowing with a bright light. This is interesting. She muttered to herself. She turned and saw a group of people were starring at her in amazement. Them she heard a voice behind her and spun around. The mage had a smile on her face and was saying something to Mina. What are you saying? Mina said to her walking over. In a raw and bubbling voice the mage spokeI said, we may be dead but our mission is complete. she started wheezing and with a last chocking breath and fell over dead. What dose she mean her mission is complete? she muttered to herself and turned and started walking back to camp. She stopped when she saw a large group of people standing around a man lying dead on the ground. Her heart almost stopped when she saw who it was. Will was lying of the ground, a hole burned in his shirt. Damn it! She yelled as she saw Will's body. Oramis walked over to her and put his hand around her shoulders. Mina, we need to talk. Oramis and Mina walked to Oramis's tent. The tree fire had gone out when the mage died for reasons Mina didn't know. When they got to the tent Oramis took her inside and sat her down on a chair. He pulled up a chair and sat down facing her. Mina. He started. What happened tonight? Mina gave him a half grin. It started as a trap. she began, then explained how it went wrong and the part about the mage. Do you know how dangerous and stupid that was?! You put no just your own like but the lives of me and Will. I didn't mean for this to happen. She said flatly. I didn't know one of them was a mage. We know, me and Will just found out tonight. He inspected the body of John and found out that he was killed with magic, that's why he was in my tent tonight. And that's why they wanted you both dead so bad. Mina concluded. I just have one more question Mina, how did you know they were going to attack us tonight? Mina grinned. I started a rumor that we found out who the assassins are and that you were planning how to kill them tonight. I regret the death of Will greatly and you must realize that the forgotten now has no mages in camp. Oramis grimaced. I do, and that's why my must move yet again. But how will Brom and Soro find us? Or Tyran! Mina objected. Ill leave them a message only they could find, or even if it was found, only they could understand. I will also leave more than one in the latter happens and whoever found it take it. Mina relaxed a little but still didn't like the idea of leaving while her friends were still gone. She couldn't read the look on Oramis's face, witch was odd, his emotions were usually plain to her. We will leave tomorrow, and this time we wont have spy's in our ranks to tell the clan of shadow were we are. But were will we go? The Clan of Shadows wants us dead and the Children of Guthix don't have any love for us ether, not seance we didn't take part in the war. We aren't fighters Mina. Oramis replied sadly. We must go to the Children, we have no choice. Chapter eleven: what they hoped was the end of the rode. Run Kentis! Jay yelled as they ran threw Varrock. They had narrowly escaped there captures when they turned there backs on them to buy some fresh food from a market. They had been running threw alleys for five minutes dodging tramps and and running past old rundown houses. Varrock was a large city on the top of a large hill surrounded by grasslands. The houses were all wood which was strange considering there weren't any trees for miles in any direction. It was the first big city Jay had ever seen and he wasn't thrilled to be running for his life threw it. There hands were still tied and to each other which made thing even harder. Jay stop! Kentis yelled as he tripped and fell. He had given up event trying to remember to call Jay Sparrow to the distaste of Jay. Jay turned around and helped his friend up. Jay we need to make a plan. Kentis said as they started walking. I know, but we are still getting chased by twenty or so men. Jay tensed when he heard footsteps behind him. He spun around and saw a woman walking turds them. She had shoulder length blond hair and brown eyes. She was a bit shorter than Jay and was wearing dirty looking clothing. Ah now what's this? She said walking up to Jay and Kentis. She talked with the same strange accent that Silvia had spoken in. Jay thought that they look kind of alike as well. We relay don't have time to talk right now. Kentis said not stopping. You don't happen to be running from those mad looking men are you? It would be a shame if they were to find you. the woman said with a almost evil smile. At this Kentis stopped. He turned to and examined her. Are you threatening us? Kentis asked in a low menacing voice. I might be. she replied, the evil look still on her face. Jay looked at her and Kentis noticed that his eyes seemed to be glowing with a silvery light. Threatening me is a very bad idea, especially when I'm angry, you wont like what I do when I'm angry. Jay said in a strange accent Kentis had never heard before, but he thought it almost sounded like the accent Silvia and the woman in front of them used but slightly different. Kentis had never seen Jay like this, the normally cool tempered carefree boy he knew never did this. Kentis put a hand on Jays shoulder. Don't do anything stupid Jay. Kentis whispered in her friends ear, his eyes never leaving the strange woman in front of him. What do you want? Jay asked the strange light leaving his eyes. Why do you think I want something? The woman asked with a knowing smile. If you didn't want something you wouldn't be threatening us. Kentis said in a grimly. I know your from the forgotten, before you ask its because I saw the Jay on your cloths. Now from what iv seen of your captures they don't know this yet and they will probably take you to slave camp. She said with a grim expression. You have it right, now what do you want? Kentis asked getting irritated. They wont take me, so I want you to go for me. She replied. What!? Kentis exclaimed. We ask what you want to keep your mouth shut and you say you want us to go with out captures? Jay had been listening to everything, his face expressionless. Who do you want us to brake out? Kentis look at Jay, this hadn't accrued to him and it made seance. There are three children they took from me two months ago, Feldo, Triss, and Henley. Feldo and Triss are brother and sister and Henley is like there younger sister. Both there parents are dead so iv been taking care of them for three years now, if anything happens to them... She didn't need to finish, Jay knew what she was going to say. Well do it. Jay said immediately looking at Kentis. Good, I'll call the men. She said with a sad smile. You better start running so it doesn't look like you want to get caught. Lets go. Kentis said and started running. Jay. The woman whispered surprising Jay. How do you know me name? He asked. She ignored him. I know your a mage, that's why I believe you can save them. With that said she turned and ran off yelling to the men. You know. Jay said catching up to Kentis. I hate it when people go all mysteries like that. What do you mean? Kentis asked not stopping. She just popped up threatened us and sent us on a mission to save some kids, she didn't know us or were we were going, or at least we didn't tell her. I think she was watching us the hole time. Kentis said in a hushed voice. I think shes been watching us because Silvia told her to. Kentis starred at Jay realizing that what he said was true. She knew that we were captured and that we were from the forgotten, and it looked like she was expecting us. Just then Jay heard heavy footfalls behind them and saw the hated men running turds them. Jay sighed and they started running. They got about five steps before Kentis tripped and, because they were still tied together, both fell in a puddle. Well that didn't work as well is id hoped. Jay muttered. They were grabbed from the back and pulled up. Jay noticed that Kentis had a deep fresh cut on his knee. Kentis noticed Jay looking at his cut and said as they were being dragged away. I got it when we fell, I hit a sharp rock. he said in a pained voice. I would heal it... Jay was cut off when he hit a bump in the rode and cracked his head on a rock. He heard Kentis sounding frantic as he yelled to the guards before falling into unconsciousness. Kentis watched as they pulled his friend along, his body hitting bumps and being pulled threw dirt. He wished he could help Jay but there was nothing he could do. This was the woman's fault! He thought, a serge of anger running threw him. If she didn't ask them to save some kids this wouldn't be happening. Kentis winced as his injured knee hit a rock. He girted his teeth and hoped they would stop soon. He was dragged past people who just didn't give him a secant glance. It felt like days before the men stopped at a cart and threw him and Jay into it. The cart was tied to several horses and had two levels, the men rode on the top and him and Jay were on the bottom, the walls were solid wood and had no windows. The back of the cart was made of wooden bars and looked like it has be scratched and hacked at from the inside. I don't think we are the first prisoners to be taken away in this cart. Kentis muttered. Then he remembered Jay and crawled over to him. He was cut and bruised all over his body and the gash on his head was oozing out blood. This sight made Kentis feel sick. I'm sorry Jay but there's nothing I can do for you, looks like we don't have to walk anymore tho. The woman watched sadly as the cart rolled out of Varrock. I wouldn't wish the arena on anyone. She said sadly to herself. But hes destiny is entwined with Feldo and Triss, for better or worse. She heard something behind her and whorled around. She only had a split second before a man dressed all in black grabbed her and put a hand over her mouth. You disappoint me Nightfire, I thought a person of your reputation would be harder to catch. The man whispered in her ear. Now, who were those boys you were talking to? He grunted in surprise as Nightfire kicked him in the shin. She took advantage of his momentary surprise and took out a small dart and pricked him in the side of the neck. So they finally found me. She whispered to herself. Time to go. She dragged the man in black into a small shed and locked the door. Don't worry, ill be here when you wake up. And when you do, I'm getting answers.

Rather like the first one, I love setting words to overlay. Makes them all invisible looking. As for the others, I like them all as well.

It is rather good, you might want to do a bit more work on the trim though. Other than that it looks great mate.

I have seen summoning pures getting charms at black demon's using a familiar to do all the fighting. That may be a decent way.

Not bad mate.

Sorry for any grammar mistakes that you may find, after reading a bit of it I realized how many I had made. chapter seven: What was not meant to happen I cant believe how good this stew is! Kentis exclaimed. He was enjoying the time they spent at the herbalists home. It is good. Jay agreed She is a master of herbs after all. it had been three days seance they found Silvia and Jay felt that they should have left long ago but his friends didn't agree, they liked it at the herbalists cabin. Its time for you to go. Triss said as she walked towards them. You still have a long road ahead of you and I hope I have given you some strength. At that moment there was a knock at her door. Silvia's face grew worried. No, there not suppose to be here till tomorrow. A look of alarm appeared on Jays face. Who's at the door?! Men from the clan of shadow. Silvia said worriedly There will be at least twenty of them you must leave now! Why are they here? Tyran asked, anger in his voice. And if you knew they were coming why didn't you warn us? they come every month and ask for potions. If I don't give them what they want they'll burn down the forest. so why didn't you tell us they were coming? Cfett asked in a level tone. because if I did you would have left as soon as I told you and would have been no better then you were when you found me here. the knocking got louder as they talked until Jay decided it was time to go. we have to leave right now! he said do you have a back door Silvia? of cores I do, follow me. as they went to the back of the cabin they herd the front door brake and and footsteps coming turds them. go! Silvia yelled as she threw the door open. but what about you? Kentis asked. ill be fine. she said as she turned and ran into her house. as they ran into the woods Jays hart stopped. In front of them were twenty men standing right there in the woods. They were surrounded. i knew this was going to happen. Jay muttered. give up your surrounded. the man that seemed to be the leader said stepping forward. over my dead body! Tyran said stepping forward with Cfett have it your way. the man said as two archers stepped forward and shot there arrows state into Tyran and cfett's chests. no! Jay yelled but there was nothing he could do, not without reviling that he was a mage. Tyran and Cfett's dropped to the ground motionless. The men tied Jay and Kentis with ropes and started leading them threw the forest, leaving the body's of Tyran and Cfett on the forest floor. Jay whispered to Kentis as they were led threw the forest, Kentis whatever you do don't say my name.Jay said trying not to cry at the loss of there friends. Kentis seemed confused why? he asked quietly. because they think I'm dead, and if they find out who I am they will kill me. what should I call you then? Kentis asked. Jay thought for a moment. call me sparrow. he said, quite fond of his choice. OK Sparrow, but next time don't choose a bird name, its kind of lame if you always choose the name of a bird. Silvia got up, her head throbbing from the bleeding gash on the side of her head, right over her left ear. Everything was dark, her candles has gone out and it was dusk outside. All of the sudden she had a thought did Jay and his friends make it out alive? She ran out her back door and started looking for sines of a battle of anything that might indicate that they were caught. After awhile she herd gowning from the forest and ran to the source of the noise. When she found it she gasped. She saw Tyran and Cfett laying unmoving on the ground, arrows still in there chests. Tyran was the one gowning she noticed and she grabbed him first, dragging him back to her home. She knew she could save him if the clan of shadow didn't take all of her supplies when they came. She was running back to get Cfett when she started getting dizzy again. She noticed the gash on her head was still bleeding and she wound need to get a bandage on it soon. She found Cfett and was dragging him back when she heard him speak. they took Jay and Kentis he said weakly. don't talk, reserve your strength. when she got him back she started looking at there wounds. ill have to cut there shirts off. she said to herself with a grin. She had grown quite found of Tyran in the three days she had spent with him. She looked around her wrecked home and found a knife and cut off there shirts. She gasped at what she saw. An arrow was sticking out of his chest just below his heart. You are a lucky boy. She mutters to herself, A little higher and you would be dead. chapter nine: its a long rode in captivity Jay and Kentis had been walking, walking for so long. It had been two days after they had gotten captured. Jay tripped in the mud and almost fell face first into it, luckily Kentis caught him and they continued walking. It had started raining the day after they had been captured and hadn't stopped in the two days they had been walking. It seemed to be making fun of them for being captured. They were tied side by side by a thick rope, now wet from the rain. There captures would pull on the rope every so often and try to trip them but rarely succeeded. They were walking east from what Jay could figure. They had left the woodland they had been walking threw one day after they were cough and had been walking on a dirt rode threw moorland full of hills and dead long grass. Well it had been a dirt rode, the days of rain had turned it into a thick mud and Jay and Kentis were always slipping in it. There captors pulling on the rope weren't helping ether. They eventually stopped because they captures decided to rest after two days a marching, how they did this Jay didn't know. They tied Jay and Kentis together and left them ten or so feet from there camp with a guard watching them from the camp. They were far enough away from the camp they they could talk without being overheard. Jay... about the battle that got us lost, there was a man running turds you and you had no time to cast a spell. Kentis started. Kentis, this is not the time, and I told you to call me sparrow. Jay cut in. Ok then. Sparrow, you had a dagger, a glowing red dagger. I said this is not the time! Jay snapped. Do you or do you not have one of the legendary dragon weapons? Kentis blurted. Jay sighed. Yes I do, it was a gift to me from long ago. Not even Brom knows about it. One of the guards hears them talking and walked over grinning. Having a nice chat are we. He asked smugly. O yes, a lovely chat. Kentis answered in a sarcastic voice. Well I have something for you. He said and threw a lump of bread in front of them. It looked moldy and damp. Are we suppose to eat that? Kentis ask sounding horrified. Ehh iv had worse. Jay muttered. The guard pulled out a fresh looking chunk of bread and some cheese. He held it under his noes and inhaled its aroma. Ooooooh he groaned. It smells soooo wonderful. he said and took a bite. Kentis thought he smelled smoke, pine smoke as the guard grinned at them was walked away. Well he wasn't very nice. Kentis commented He wasn't very smart ether. Jay said with a smirk. What do you mean? Kentis asked, looking around. Jay pulled out a chunk of bread and some cheese from behind him. How did you get that?! Kentis exclaimed. Did you happen to smell pine smoke when he was walking away? Jay asked giving some food to Kentis. I did. he admitted, I didn't think much of it. Has it been that long seance you lost your ability to use magic? Jay sighed. That's the sent of your energy inst it, pine smoke. Kentis said in a hushed voice, looking around to make sure a guard wasn't close. That was extremely risky sparrow. If the guard knew what to look for he would have known you were a mage. Well the rain is stopping finally, lets get some sleep. Kentis finished the bread and cheese Jay had stolen and laid back. The grass was still dripping wet and he was freezing but at least he had a decent meal. It seemed like hours to them as they tried to fall asleep but final they drifted into sleep. Chapter ten: a serch I hate using portals. Soro groaned as she stepped threw one after Brom. I cant say I like them much ether. Brom agreed. They were in the ruins of a village long deserted. She could see houses crumbling and rotting. Everything in the village was covered in moss and plants. The village itself was surrounded by a large looking forest full of tall pines that seemed to touch the sky. Looking up at them made Soro dizzy so she turned her attention elsewhere. Is this the village were Jay was born? Soro asked Brom as she looked around. That it is. Brom replied So you think that he made a portal here? Its my best guess, tho he might not have come here in the village. I'll look around in the surrounding forest. Soro said heading for the trees. Don't be gone long. Brom shouted after her. As she entered the trees she immediately felt cold. It was dark in the forest and it felt damp. She wondered how anyone could want to like in a place like this, you couldn't see ten feet in front of you in here. She shivered. I better get moving. she said to herself. The first thing she noticed was the smell. It was horrible! Ugh! It smells like something died around here. She muttered to herself. She kept walking and the smell kept getting stronger and stronger as she walked until it was almost unbearable, then she saw it. About ten feet in front of her she saw a huge furry shape on the ground that the smell seemed to be coming from. She walked up to it and almost threw up at what she saw. It was a huge bear, it had been shot in the forehead with an arrow. This is the work of Kentis if I ever saw it! She said to herself she started looking around for any singes of the lost friends and found the remains of a fire and the rewind of a makeshift tent. She also found dried blood and trampled grass, like someone was sleeping there with a wound. Brom! she yelled. Within minutes Brom was there. What is it?! Brom cried. I found there camp. she said calmly Well you could have said that instead of giving me a heart attack. Soro showed Brom the remained of the camp and the dried blood she had found and, at the request of Brom, showed him the dead bear. She didn't like going near the huge smelly bear so she just pointed to were it lay dead. After Brom had a look around he returned to Soro. They went north. he said They left about three days ago. Soro groaned that means five days of hard running are in store for us. Brom let himself have one of his rare smiles Yep, we better get going. But don't worry, chances are they aren't still walking and they made a more permanent camp somewhere. Then a worried look came over his face. What is it? Soro said sounding a bit alarmed. Its nothing. Brom said. Lets get going. As they were walking Brom was thinking. what if shes still here? If Jay finds out who she is... or if she finds out who he is... Brom put the thought out of him mind. What are the chances shes still living here anyway. apparently he was muttering to himself because Soro started asking questions. Who do you thinks living here Brom? she asked Brom silently cursed. Its nothing. he said quickly. Just someone who I knew at one time. Soro looked like she wanted to ask more but Brom shot her a I don't want to answer your questions look. She had never seen Brom look like that and she shrank away. What about this place is making Brom like this. She thought as they walked threw the trees.

If it came down to dieing to save someone I love, I would. Iv no fear of death. If you try to mess with my family, you will have to kill me first.

They are fairly short I know, I hope everyone enjoys them anyway. chapter five: a quest begins It had been six days since they last saw Jay and the others. Brom walked up to Soro and Oramis. They were in a clearing somewhere far south. It was sunny, and contrasted to the events of the present, it was irony. They had set up a huge cream-colored tent in the middle, and six dark green tents for the rest of them. Archers, Warriors, and Strategists walked around like ants, shouting orders, meeting with friends, chatting about relatives. Some even wrote letters to loved ones. "There are three more spies in our camp." Brom said, reporting to Soro and Oramis at the main strategy table, behind the huge cream-colored tent. He had been looking for spies via telepathy around camp. "His name was Matthias. The other spies are Sara, Marten, and Arthur. Arthur left as soon as he got here but the other two are still in our ranks." "So, how can you to find them?" Oramis asked "I think we should have Mina find the spies." Brom replied. "Am I not good enough to find them?" Soro asked in an irritated sort of voice, the one she used with new people, who usually doubted her services as a woman. "I have plans for you, Soro." Brom went on. "I want you to accompany me to find Jay, Cfett, Tyran, and Kentis. "If it's okay with Oramis." "I think it's a good idea, Brom. You may go look for Jay.", Oramis responded, adding in a worried tone, "and please don't die." "Well try our best." Soro answered. "Now where are we going to start looking, Brom?" "Well I taught Jay everything he knows, and knowing him, he probably made a portal out, and unless you are a very powerful mage like me, you can only go to a place you have been before." "So, what do you think?" Soro said, getting irritated. "There's about a million damn places to look." "I bet he went back to the place of his birth." Brom said simply. "When a mage is in trouble, he always witnesses images, however deep in memory, of his place of birth. It is an instinct, useful for fast escape via a portal, but incredibly obvious. We will start there. But there's only one problem." "Yeah, and what is that?" Soro asked, making to pack. "Jay was born in the Clan of Shadows." Soro and Brom left a few hours later, at sunset. Oramis summoned Mina to the cream tent to get her assignment. "Hello, Mina." He said as she walked in. "How are you today?" Mina was seven-teen years old, like Kentis, and had nice, dark, hair, streaked with blond. "I'm fine, Oramis." She said, sitting down on one of the sleeping bags, elevated by magic. "So, why have you called me here today?" "I have an assignment for you." "Does it have anything to do with the spy Soro found?" she asked. "Why, yes it does." Oramis said, surprised that Mina had guessed her assignment easily. A glint in her eyes reminded him of a stalking leopard, and he suddenly felt slightly uncomfortable, like he was being scanned. "We need you to find the spies here in the camp, and then go find Arthur, the spy that escaped." "It shouldn't be to hard," she answered, "what are the named of the spies?" "Arthur for one. Also Sara and Marten, they are in the camp right now." "I'll get right to it." Mina said, "This should be fun." she said as she left. "We need them alive!" Oramis yelled after her "Yeah, yeah, I wont kill them. Just break some bones and such like that." "Why did I choose Mina?" Oramis said to himself after she had left, "last time she went on a mission she almost got herself killed." And as he sat pondering the evening's events, he realized he was incredibly sleepy. It was nighttime after all, the sun had set. He slapped himself to keep awake, a decision that would prove it's worth much later. Chapter six: The Herbalist "Come on, Tyran!" Jay yelled. The group of four were walking through the forest. Tyran, who was still sore, couldn't move as fast as the others and had started to annoy Jay by lagging behind. "Well, maybe if you didn't let me get shot I could move faster!" he yelled back, irritated. They had been walking threw the forest for a while and had no idea were they were going, but Jay figured they would have to run into a village sooner or later. "Why don't you just make a portal back to our old camp?" Cfett asked. Jay sighed. "I don't have enough power to make a portal, getting here used the last of my law runes and I'll need more if I don't want it to drain my life-force. Plus, I don't think that's safe. Enemies might be swarming around there." Jay's answer seemed to satisfy Cfett so he didn't ask more questions. They walked for a long while, enjoying the shade that the trees provided. "Is that the end of the forest?" Kentis asked, pointing ahead of them. "Finally." Tyran muttered as they walked to a point where the trees were thinning. "Would you look at that." Jay remarked as they walked out of the forest. In front of them was a beautiful log cabin. It didn't look very old. In fact, it looked a bit young. "It's nice here, but you wouldn't expect someone to live alone in there. Especially with the bears around here." "Well, we might as well see if anyone's home." Kentis said as he walked to the door. He reached the front step and knocked, waited, and knocked again. Nothing happened. "Whoever lives here must not be home." Cfett said, "We might as well keep walking." As he turned to walk away, he saw a young woman walking out of the forest. She had blond hair and was considerably tall, not as tall as any of them, but still tall and she looked about twenty years old. She looked at them with interest and addressed Jay. "Well, well what brings you here? Have you come to buy something? Some herbs to boost your strength, or a good staff perhaps?" She spoke with a strange accent that Jay couldn't quite place where it was from. "Could you point us out in the direction of the nearest village?" Jay asked. "Yes, I could." The strange woman replied. They waited for several minutes waiting for her to tell them. After a while, Tyran got impatient. "Will you tell us for Pete's sake?" he asked not too kindly. "Yes," she replied. They waited. After another wait of several minutes, the woman spoke. "Well, why are you just standing there? You asked me if I could tell you and if a would tell you but you never actually asked me to tell you." She said in a plain voice. "Fine." Jay said, "please tell us were the nearest village is so we can be on our way." "The nearest village is Seers' Village. About 3 miles that way." She pointed the way they had been walking. "Thank you!" Cfett said, "Now, can we go?" "Well I guess you could but I don't see why you would." The woman answered him. "And why would we stay here?" Kentis asked. "Well, because its almost nightfall and you don't want to be traveling in the dark, now do you. And besides, you look as if you have been through the forest for a while, and I love a good story. And I would give a proper meal and a place to sleep. It seems that you haven't had either in a long time." Jay turned and walked to his friends, and said, "Well, what do you think? It would be nice to have a good meal and a place to sleep, and I don't think she means us any harm." "It's fine with me." Kentis said, licking his lips at the thought of some food. "Good, what about you two?" "Fine" Cfett and Tyran both answered. Jay turned back to the woman. "Ok, we will stay for the night. By the way, what's your name?" "I have gone by many names, but you can call me Silvia."

Rather amusing really. 7/10

This is actually my first story, or at least, the first one I really started working on. I don't play RS much anymore, but when I wrote this I was playing a lot and it reflects in the story. chapter three: a spy uncovered. "What do you mean they didn't come through the portal!?" Soro yelled at Brom, her face red with anger. They were in a forest, highly wooded, and everyone was walking around, getting there bearings. The trees were tall, and it was shady. It looked the sort of place that Shadows would lurk all the time. "The portal was closing," Brom said sadly, "and Tyran was wounded. They wouldn't leave him behind." "Well, that's Jay for you," Oramis said, "never leaves his friends behind." "Well, that's behind us now." Soro said, calming down. "Now we need to focus on setting up camp." "And let's not forget the assassins we have in our ranks." Oramis put in. "we must find them before they give away our position again. Now that Jay, Cfett, Kentis, and Tyran are lost somewhere we are even weaker than before." "Well, lets worry about all that later," Brom said, "now, we have work to do." As Soro went to see to how the camp was coming along, she heard a commotion coming from somewhere in the center of the camp. As she ran up, pushing through the crowd that had gathered, she saw a fight had started between two men. "What is going on!?" she shouted as she ran up. "What is this about?" "This man is a spy!" one of the men shouted. "And what proof do you have of this?" Soro asked. "I saw him sneak out of the camp about two days ago, and he just appeared back in camp just before we were attacked!" "What do you have to say about this?" Soro asked as she turned to the other man." "I will say nothing to you." He spat. "Take him to Brom." Soro said. "He can tell us whether on not he's a spy." As they started to bring the man to Brom, he cackled maniacally. He pulled out a knife concealed beneath his cloak and stabbed one of the men that was escorting him. "Don't kill him!" Soro shouted as several men knocked him down. "Bind him and knock him out, then take him to Brom, he might know something interesting." "With pleasure," said one of the men as he produced a big stick from behind a tent. "I said don't kill him!" Soro yelled as the man hit the spy over the head with a little too much pleasure. He fell to the ground, still cackling, and the ghost of his smile lingered on his face as his eyes turned to blank white slits. "I take it that he wasn't very popular?" Soro commented. "Not popular at all." well now that that's taken care of Soro said cheerfully. lets get back to setting up camp. as she walked away she didn't notices the hooded figures standing by one of the tents. things are going as planned. one of the shadowed figure said. they took the bate to easily. with the false information he hes we can go unnoticed while the look for fake spy's. the other said cheerfully. They paused as a man walked by. When he was gone the continued. we need to get rid of Brom, hes the only real threat to us now. we cant forget the mage will. the other reminded him. Brom is the problem not Will! the other snapped. Brom will find us eventually were as Will will believe the information we planted in the spy they cough. hay you! Oramis called over to them, what are you doing standing around, theirs work to be done. we can talk latter, meet me here in two days time. Its best if were not seen together in the mean time. the other man nodded and walked away. this will be fun. the other man chuckled as he went to help put up tents. chapter four: lost, well sort of. Jay got to his feet and looked around. They were in a forest that looked somewhat familiar to him. The trees were all pines and very tall. It looked like they were in the middle of the forest. "Where are we?" Cfett groaned. "I'm not entirely sure." Jay admitted. "What do you mean your not sure?" Kentis said in an angry voice, "you said you could only go to places you have been before." "Well, that doesn't mean I know were we are. That just means that I have been here before." Jay answered plainly. Then, he remembered Tyran. "Is Tyran ok?" Jay asked as he started to run over to his unmoving form. The others followed. "He's still breathing!" Kentis shouted. "Jay, think can you heal him?" Jay examined Tyran's back. "The arrow didn't go in deep, so I think I can heal him." Jay said to Cfett and Kentis's relief. "It will take some time, though. Will both of you start setting up camp and gathering supplies?" "Ok," Cfett answered, "We will get to work right away." "Good" Jay said, "Get to it then." As Kentis went to set up camp, and Cfett went to gather firewood, Jay started healing Tyran. When camp was set up, Jay was almost done healing. A little color was starting to return to Tyran's pale skin. All of the sudden he heard Kentis shouting in alarm. "Bear!" He yelled. Tyran turned around to see Kentis running for his bow and quiver. Jay jumped up and looked at the bear, it was about ten feet long and pure black. Jay thought for a moment, contemplating the possibilities, then stuck out his hand. The effort of healing Tyran had left him drained, so he didn't dare use any of the elemental magic's using his own energy. He would have to get runestones, or he would pass out. He reached into his pocket, searching for runestones. He found a single Nature rune, enough to control a bush, and crushed it in his hand. The bush behind the bear started rustling and shaking. When the bear turned around to see what was there, Jay yelled. "Now!" Kentis shot an arrow at the bear, missing it completely and almost hitting Cfett as he ran out of the trees, firewood in his arms, to see what was happening. "Shoot the bear, you idiot!" Cfett yelled at Kentis as he reached for another arrow. He let it fly. The bear turned around, and the arrow hit it square between the eyes. "Nice shot." The voice came from behind Jay. He turned to see Tyran, still a bit pale, but sitting up, was watching the events a grin on his face. "When did you wake up?" Jay asked. "When Kentis yelled "Bear!"" Tyran answered, in mock imitation of Kentis's face. "Oh, and nice trick with the bushes by the way, it was very impressive." He said sarcastically. "Nice to have you back, Tyran." Cfett said with a grin. "So, where are we?" Tyran asked to no one in particular. "I think I know." Jay answered. "I think we are near the village that I grew up in, we used to see bears like that all the time." "That you grew up in," Tyran scoffed, "you're only thirteen. Where is this place? Like, how far from our old camp?" Jay ignored his question and went on. "We can stay here for a few days to let you heal a bit more, Tyran, and I'm not sure how far away we are. I hardly remember were this is." "Sounds good to me." Kentis said. "I could use a bit of rest." did you ever finish they soup Kentis? Jay asked. good idea Jay, we could all use some food. Kentis walked over to were a he was making a soup in a large rock Jay had hollowed out with the last of his earth runes. Along with the bigger rock he also make some makeshift bowls the Kentis dipped into the soup and gave to everyone. well. Tyran said as they started eating. its a good thing I don't have much apatite, otherwise I might be tempted to eat all that and I think it might had finished me off. Kentis shot Tyran an evil look and laid down in the grass. well this is a good a place as any to have a nap. Kentis said tiredly. You think we should clean up the camp a bit, we wouldn't want to attract animals to the sent of our 'soup'. Cfett said yawning. There's no point, they would come for the corps of the bear anyway. And there's no way I'm moving two thousand pounds of bear. Cfett nodded and lay back, falling asleep almost instaintly. After everyone was asleep Jay walked over to the dead bear. It was huge, and even in death the eyes still seemed to glow yellow. Jay drew a small red dagger from under his cloak. I mean no disrespect to your spirit, and I hope you hold no grudges to me or my friends. Jay said respectfully and went to work. He cut out several large peaces of meat and wrapped them in leaves and put them on a large rock. We can use them to make a stew if nothing else, he thought. He removed several bones and a few clumps of fur and put them in a small leather bag. He left there camp and went looking for the dwelling of the bear, were its spirit would be strongest. He found a large cave scattered with bones of several animals. He looked around and saw a large pillar in the center of the cave. He pulled out the leather bag he had put the bones and fur in and took them out along with a small, cloth bag no bigger than his fist, and a few stones. He put the fur and bones in the bag and added two of the stones then tied the bag shut. He held it up to the stone pillar and muttered some words. There was a flash of blue light and the small bag glowed faintly then faded. Jay tied the bag to his belt and walked back to camp, covering his tracks behind him. Better not to let anyone know of this. He said to himself as he sat down beside his friends and fell asleep. If anyone asked about the missing bones he would just blame wolves.

Birthday in two hours lol, and another chapter. Enjoy everyone, this is one of my longest story's, longer than tails of a wolf. So I'll be posting for a good long while. :3 Chapter Two: A Battle and an Escape As Jay looked across the plain, he saw a group of about ten warriors and archers from the clan of shadows. The clan of shadows was a group of about two thousand skilled warriors, rangers, and two mages. Some of the last mages in the world sided with the clan of shadow. When Jay saw them, he was stuck between two decisions. Save Will, or to warn the camp. He had decided the camp was more important than any one person. Even a mage like Will. But someone else saw the incoming threat and sounded the alarm. This gave Jay the chance to help Will. He ran out onto the field, straight for Will. When he got to him, they started back to the camp as fast as possible. In their mad dash, they noticed the arrows coming down all around them. Jay turned and saw about five arrows coming straight for them and before he could react, Will's arm shot out. The arrows turned and flew black at the archers that fired them. Jay didn't have time to see if they met their target as they ran, faster now, back to the camp. By the time they got back to camp, they were both about ready to collapse from fatigue. Soro ran up to them. "What's happening!?" she cried. "They have found us." Will said simply, "and now we either fight or run and that's up to Brom and Oramis." we must run. Oramis said appearing beside Jay. this is just a scouting party sent after Will, there main force will be about a mile behind them. "Jay!" Brom called. "Get a team to hold them off! I'll try to summon a portal out of here!" "Yes, Brom, I'll get Kentis, Tyran, and Cfett." "Good." Oramis said. "they are good men, go now." As he left to look for his team, he quickly found Kentis the archer running from the edge of the camp. Kentis was tall and inn his mid twenty's with medium brown hair and bright green eyes. He was a strange fellow, and was good friends with Tyran and had a takes a liking to Jay when they first met. Kentis! Jay called seeing his friend. Kentis ran to him. whats going on? he asked, the hole cape is in panic! they have found us after all this time, they have found us. so what are we going to do about it? Kentis asked. follow me, By the way, have you seen Cfett or Tyran anywhere?" "They were both over at the mess hall last time I saw them." Kentis remembered. "good lets go. They found Cfett and Tyran putting on their armor. Tyran was slightly taller than Kentis, with long, blond hair and brown eyes. He was very "furry" as Kentis put it and was also in his med twenty's. Cfett was the tallest, with jet black hair and lightning blue eyes that seemed to pierce your thoughts he was a bit older than Jay at nineteen. Jay spoke. "I need you two for a mission." dose it have anything to do with the scouting party? Cfett asked. "Why yes it dose. Me, you, Tyran and Kentis are to hold them off long enough for Brom to make a portal out of here." Jay said simply. so get your armor and a weapon and lets get going. Tyran and Cfett both but on heavy suites of chain mail with the sing of the forgotten, a flying bird, on the front were as Kentis get some dark hard leather armor favored by rangers. Jay just grabbed a long, gray cloak with hood that left his face in shadow and a yew staff. is everyone ready? Jay asked. They all nodded. then lets go. As Jay and his team advanced on the scouting party Jay manipulated light so it shone in the enemy eyes while they all got into position. As they got ready to attack he herd Tyran and Cfett muttering to etch other. five gold coin says that ill have more kills than you by the time this is over. your on Tyran. Jay gave them the signal to attack and Kentis started shooting at random targets. As the enemy turned to find the source of the arrows, Tyran and Cfett snuck around them and attacked. Then Jay created a fire in the middle of the enemies. As the fight started everything seemed to be going well. he herd Cfett and Tyran shouting at etch other I'm at three, what are you at Tyran! just got two! Jay chuckled at this. Jay herd a sound behind him and turned, a huge man was not 3 feet away and was raising his sword to strike. Jay has no choice, he didn't have time to use magic. Quicker than a snake he pulled out a small dagger made out of a red steel. There was a flash of red light and two cuts appeared on the mans neck. The man fell dead at Jays feet. He looked over and saw Kentis staring in amazement at him, he quickly his the dagger under his cloak. I hope Brom gets done with the portal soon, Jay thought as he manipulated a fireball from the fire at an oncoming warrior, effectively frying him. All the magic he was using made him tired, and his friends didn't look much better. Jay thought he was going to collapse from fatigue when he heard Brom, telepathically telling him that the portal was ready. "Back to the camp!", Jay called, "Retreat!" As they ran back to the camp, Jay looked back. An arrow was heading straight for Tyran and it was too late to stop it. "No!" he cried as the arrow hit Tyran in the back, drawing cheers from the oncoming soldiers. He knew he didn't have time to get Tyran to safety, and he couldn't do it on his own, but he had to try. He ran back to Tyran and started dragging him back to the camp. He didn't notice Kentis and Cfett helping him until he was halfway back to camp. His mind was racing, trying to find a way to save Tyran. "Almost there", he suddenly found himself saying. They made it back to the camp with the enemy right behind them, and they ran for the portal. Brom was waiting by the portal, right by the picnic table, for them. He was yelling, "Run! I can only hold the portal open for a little while longer!" As they ran, they saw the portal starting to shrink in size. "Go!", Jay yelled at Brom, "we can't make it through, but we will find you!" Brom glanced fleetingly in their direction and jumped through the portal. It was shrinking... shrinking... gone. "Great." Cfett muttered. "We're stranded, Tyran is dead, and we're surrounded by an army of shadow." "I think I can make a portal." Jay said "but I don't know where they went so I can't go there." Making portals to distant locations took a while to do. However, making portals to locations closer took a few seconds at most, if the mage did not break concentration. "Well, just about anywhere is better than here at the moment." Kentis said. At that moment, arrows started to fall all around them, and the distance that they missed was not at all reassuring. "Make a damn portal!" Cfett yelled at Jay. Jay closed his eyes and concentrated on a place, a place he had been before. It came to his mind, and instantly, there was a bright glow. He opened his eyes, and a portal appeared in front of them. "Get in!" Jay yelled as they all ran through as the portal shut behind them.

If my account was boosted after being hacked, well it has happened to me before. It doesn't feel like its your account anymore :/

Another day another chapter. So to speak. Anyhow, another chapter, hope everyone likes it. :) Chapter one. The happenings "It has happened again." Said Jay, a fourteen year old red haired boy with gray eyes. A council of Oramis, Soro, and Brom had been listening to Jay's report. "Who was it this time?" Oramis asked in a sad tone. He was a old man with s medium length silver beard and hair. " John." Jay said flatly, "I suspect it was poison. As that and magic are the only possible causes of death, and mages are increasingly rare now, but we should have Will inspect the body when he gets back, just to be safe. "We have to find this assassins." Brom said, he looked as old as Oramis but no one knew his real age, but he was obviously very old. "This is the seventh time it's happened in a month, and all important civilian leaders and now one of our last mages." How do you think we should go about that Brom? Soro said, she was young, with short brown hair girl with blue eyes. We dont even know how many people are here let alone who they are. "Well that has to change then. Brom put in, Me and Jay could read there minds and No you cant Brom. Soro cut in. Your to old to use magic like that now, not without it draining all of your energy, and Jay has other responsibilities to attend to. I could use rune stones. Brom muttered. Soros right. Oramis put in, but we need to make a list of the people we evacuated from the villages in the clan of shadow. The clan of shadow. Soro scoffed, you think they could have come up with a better name than that. Hello? Jay said. O sorry Jay, is that the end of your report? Oramis asked. Yes but theres one thing id like to add. Jay answered, With john gone me, Will, and Brom are the only mages left in the forgotten. You know. Soro put in, Who came up with that name? The forgotten? I did. Brom told her, Because when I formed the forgotten I went looking for mages. It was back when the ways of magic were forgotten and so were mages. The forgotten was originally going to be a clan of mages, we planned to leave the land and seek our own path and not take part in the affairs of other humans. So when did you start rescuing civilizes from villages being attacked by the clan of shadow? Soro asked awed by the news, She had lived with Brom and Oramis in the forgotten for years and yet she had never heard the history of the group. That's a story for another day Soro. Right now you have work to do. After Jay left Oramis found himself thinking about the day they had found Jay and his brother Cfett He had gotten a message from some of his good friends that there village was being attacked and he had led a scouting party to see if they could save and villagers, and they had found Jay and Cfett fighting for there lives surrounded by five men of the clan of shadow, one of them being a mage. It had been clear that Jay had the potential to be a mage and that he had some training in the art, and Cfett wasn't a half bad fighter for his age. Oramis and his men saved them and had started questioning them. That's how he had found out that their mother was a mage and that she had resisted the clan of shadows and that's why their village was destroyed. He also found out that Jay had a two sisters that had disappeared when the attack had started, neither of them were mages or good fighters so he didn't think much of it at the time. As they were preparing to go back to the the forgotten camp the mage that had been attacking Jay and Cfett had appeared out of nowhere and cast a spell that had almost completely wiped Cfett and Jay's memories so they wouldn't be of use to the the forgotten. But luckily Brom had been there and he saved some of there memories. To this day Jay and Cfett couldn't remember almost anything before they had been brought to the the forgotten. But that was the curse of magic he thought, a mage never gets out without a scar.. After Jay got outside, he started walking around the camp. It was nice to be back outside. The council chamber was too hot and tiny for his taste. Jay loved were they were camped, the camp itself was simple, it consisted of many dark colored tents spread around a large field with a forest to the north. He was walking back to his tent on the edge of the camp, when he saw Mina walking turds him. "Hi Jay." She said as she ran up. "Have you seen Tyran around?" "Hello Mina" Jay greeted her, "and no I haven't. Why are you looking for him?" "he said that he wanted to see me." She replied. "Id ask Kentis, he should be around here somewhere." "Thanks Jay." She said as she ran off. Jay wondered off into the camp, watching the people going about there business. He was walking by a big tent used as a mess hall when it was raining when he herd a yell from behind him and turned just in time to escape being smashed by a pole that had some loose from the tent. What the!: he yelled as he jumped out of the way. "Sorry!" a man yelled at him from somewhere behind a tent "I was trying to move it and it came loose, you wouldn't mind giving me a hand would you?" "Sure, iv got nothing else to do so I might as well make myself useful." Jay replied. Some time latter Jay had helped the man move the pole back into position. Thanks. the man replied. No problem. Jay called as he walked away. He decided to go back to his tent, and on his way there he saw a shape in the distance. Searching his memory, he remembered a spell that would enhance his sight. He quickly casted the spell, looked across the plain, and saw a person, Will. He was running for the camp. More importantly, Jay saw what was chasing him.

I'll be posting another story here seeing as people (seemed) to like tails of a wolf. I hope everyone likes it. Into the shadow Prologue: A old woman groaned as she got to her feet. The knocking at her door continued and she walked over to it. Who's there? She asked tiredly. A friend. Was the reply. The old woman smiled and opened the door. A young woman walked into her house. She looked weary and sore, wearing dirty looking old cloths. She had a pretty face with long brown hair and green eyes. She looked to young to be so weary and looked as if she had a lifetime of experience behind her green eyes. Its nice to see you Mina, I heard about Tyran... The young woman said sitting down by a small stone fireplace. The house was small, and made mostly of stone. There were many shelves full of books and old knives and such. Soro! Mina exclaimed, her face loosing its tiredness. I haven't seen you in ages, how have you been? Soro chuckled. Iv been fine, it looks the like years have been kinder to me than you. Mina smiled at her friend. Well if I was blessed by magic I might look as young as you. Mina sat down beside her friend and put a kettle over the fire. She sprinkled some herbs into the pot and sat back. Why have you come Soro? Its good to see you again, but if anyone sees you... She trailed off. No one will see me, and how could I not come? Tyran was a good friend of mine. Mina's face saddened. Its been two days, we are having a funeral in three days. Mina, you know that's not the only reason I'm here. Its about the book isn't it, no Soro I wont get rid of it. Soro's face angered. You cant keep it, our history is not met to be known. You know I would never get rid of it, even more so now that Tyran's... She trailed off. I know you loved him Mina, he lived long, longer then we all thought he would. We all thought he would die in the war the way he attracted trouble, and arrows. Soro chuckled. Soro, if you are sure its best to get rid of it I wont stop you. Mina said with a sigh, she suddenly looked a lot older. Just let me read it one more time. We should both read it one last time. Soro agreed. Then I must track down Kentis to see about destroying the thing. What did Eli have to bind it with magic. Soro said sadly at the thought of her friend. Well the tea is done, so lets get some tea and read this book for the final time. Soro got up and walked over to a large shelf and pulled out an old looking book with a gold trimming that seemed to glow. While Soro's back was turned Mina muttered to herself. But our memory must live on, if not threw the book then threw the minds of humans.
