Dis was sitting on the floor in the corner of the dark and shadowy thieves den. He was doing what most kids would do at his young age, which was hiding from his work in the guild. Viken came and looked down at the eleven year old wood elf. "You know they'll beat you again if they catch you in here when your suppose to be out working."
Dis jumped when the slightly older drow spoke, "Don't do that." He yelled at the thirteen year old Viken. "But I don't want to work today. I have a bad feeling about it."
"Dis you know they won't care. The only reason they haven't slit your throat is because I bring in twice as much as should have to, to pay them off." Viken sighed and pulled Dis to his feet. "If you don't want to work alone just say so and I'll go with you."
"Okay, I'll go if your going." Dis said smiling at Viken, "Why do you do that for me?"
"Because if I didn't who would I have to hang out with on my days off?" Viken clapped him on the shoulder, "Come on let's go."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mars stood watching his students train from the shade of a willow. "Enough, ten minute break." He half turned and looked at Redwings as she came down the path. "Good day young lady!" He called to her.
Redwings looked up from her book startled that there was someone here other then herself in the privet garden. She raised an eye brow as it registered in her mind how he had addressed her. "It is Princess Redwings." She said correcting him.
"Not to me," Mars announced, "Neither you nor your parents have any rule over me, or my students."
"Is that so?" Redwings had planted her feet firmly now and dropped her book to the ground, the students gathered closer to watch.
"I wouldn't do anything sudden if I were you." The gruff looking dwarf whispered with his a rough voice.
Redwings shot a glare over at him and he took a step back, she looked back at Mars. "That is correct. I and my students answer to neither you nor your parents. You will answer to me during your lessons and not the other was around." Mars took a step toward her now. "Do you understand or are you going to be stubborn and resist?"
“I don't have to listen to you.” Redwings was glaring at him fiercely now.
Mars raised his hand and gave a slight twist, “On the contrary, you do my dear. You have no choice in the matter. I was asked here to teach you and eventually the Prince, and that's what I intend to do.” He smiled at her now as a cell of solid air had formed around her. “Your first lesson just started.”
Redwings had felt the tingle of magic in the air but she had no idea what he had done. She looked around seeing nothing visibly changed or altered. “What do you mean? You didn't do anything!” She yelled at him like the spoiled brat she was.
The four other students looked at one another a moment and then they started laughing. Each was remembering their own experience with strange invisible cell. Mars turned back to them as they broke into laughter, “Back to work! Breaks over, and not a word of what spell I used to her. She has to figure it out for herself like each of you were suppose to have.” He glared at them a moment as they moved to go back to what they had been doing.
“Oh, but this could be fun to watch.” Mike said from one foot to the other having not moved to return to his studies.
“Go!” Mars said forcefully pointing away. The little kinder turned away and walked to where he had been working before, the other already back at what they had been doing. He sat down crossing his legs and as he started to meditate an odd light seemed to come from him.
The drow was sitting with his legs crossed as well and the wind seemed to to whipped to a frenzy around him. It was odd because it seemed he was controlling the winds around him making them stay close to him but yet they blew so hard. The wood elf growled and shook his head watching the drow intently. Nothing seemed to be happening but Redwings knew better then to think that, she noticed the slight change in the color of the winds. She looked then to the dwarf thinking it odd that he seemed only to be getting more frustrated by the second.
She watched them for a little while as they did this, then Mars' voice broke the silence. “Get to work, you only have an hour before your requires in the thrown room.” He turned and walked to the base of the willow tree once more. She still hadn't figured out what he had done and she glared at him as he walked away from her.
That isn't going to help you. A musical voice seemed to penetrate her mind then.
Raph! Your not suppose to be talking to her! A second slightly less musically but just as enchanting voice said.
Look who's talking, Leenin! The first voice shoot back. Redwings moved to cover her ears at the sound, she noticed that the movement was slow.
Ah! There you go. A rougher voice said. Now why don't the two of you leave her alone so she can work.
Butt out Don! Raph responded with a snap.
Oh, Why can't we all just get along? This was the same light cheerful voice which had come from the kinder.
Shut up! Shut up! I can't think! Redwings thought loudly at them all. Get out of my head!
The four other students stopped what they had been doing and looked up at her somewhat shocked. “You said she was a quick study, but I never thought she'd be that quick.” The Dwarf said scratching his head, he was the one with the rough voice.
“Yes she'll do well with us. The Prince might to if we can get them to get along. They both have a lot to learn.” The wood elf said to them all, his voice having been the second one.
“Stop talking about me like I'm not here. It's extremely rude.” Redwings went to take a few steps toward them and hit the invisible wall in front of her.
Mike fell over laughing at the sight of her being like a mime in a box as she felt the air around her. Light was flowing out from him and it refracted off the solid air forming rainbows. Mars finally looked up from his own meditation, “Ladies, Ladies, Ladies!” He clapped his hands making sure he had everyones attention as he trotted forward. “Has some thing spectacular happened?”
“I told them to be quiet.” Redwings was glaring at them. “Then they started pestering me out loud.”
“Well now that is quite interesting.” Mars frowned and looked at them all. “That was a major accomplishment on Redwings part, however,...” He though a moment. “You all have an extra hour of weapons training.” He looked right at Redwings now, “And you will have an extra two hours of privet study with me.”
“What! I didn't do anything, and isn't this already extra study.” Redwings attempted to stomp her foot and placed her hands on her hips. “I mean my classes with you weren't suppose to start until after the Prince's guardians left.”
“Your classes were to start when I say fit to start them.” Mars answered her somewhat annoyed. “Let's make it three hours shall we, your just stating you'll need some extra guidance.”
“What!” Redswings exclaimed again upset by what was happening here.
Raph stepped forward and put a hand on her shoulder. “You want to spend an entire day with him? Keep on that track and you will be.” The drow looked at her seriously.
“Raph!” Mars yelled at him, “You will be joining us.”
Raph stepped back and pulled his hand away. “Yes.” He mumbled as bowed his head. I'll help you out so it's not to over taxing. He said this to her silently.
I don't need your help! Redwings shot back at him. “I won't come.” She said simply to Mars.
“You have no choice.” Mars said and twisted his hand in the air again. The air was fell and another charm formed on Redwings. “Disobey and You'll turn your hair different colors, obey and learn and you'll be able to take the charm off.” He smiled at her then.
“I'm still not going to to come.” She picked up her book and walking staff once more and stormed away back toward the castle.
“Wow she's a wild one.” Leenin said watching he go.
“Yes she certainly is.” Mars said looking at them, “Go get changed. We're invited to the ceremony. We have to be shown to the citizens.”
