"I'm only fourteen." He said, quite used to people questioning his skill because of his age. "I know I'm young, and I don't think I am skilled enough to call myself a 'Prodigy' but I am pretty capable with magic." He grinned. "Your quite handy with a bow yourself, you've got good aim."

"Thank you. Though I don't know how you saw me shoot. I fainted before I could get a really good aim." Skye then felt troubled.
"I hope I wasn't a burden...you guys had to take the bandits by yourselves...I didn't really do anything." She admitted this with disdain. Some independent girl I am. Couldn't even hold my own in a fight with only a few bandits. She looked down in embarrassment and remorse.

"Well" Lumino said, in an attempt to cheer her up. "If we didn't fail every now and then, what good would success be? Our achievements are only good when we measure them up to our failures. Besides, there is no person who ever lived that was great without being bad first. But still, you've got a pretty good shot. Keeping the accuracy you had to help your friend with a wound like you had is quite remarkable. Most people can't even see straight after a hit like that."

"Heh...your right." She grinned, feeling much better. This kid is pretty cool.
The archer stood up and leaned against the tree with her arms crossed. She turned her head towards the direction of the city. "I think we should get going. I can walk by now." She looked expectantly at Lumino and Larissa. Skye picked up her bow and slung it to her back. In that sort of stance, if it weren't for her injuries, you would think she was full of energy.

Larissa still sat. She hadn't been listening to the conversation for awhile, just looked in the distance.
In the distant road, a group of cavaliers were marching and it looked like they had someone in their possesion.
Larissa watched from afar and saw how strong the looked. Larissa's group wouldn't stand a chance.
She stood quickly and a worried expression seemed to be pasted on her face, "Guys, I think we should hide." And she pointed to cavaliers quickly so she wouldn't have to explain.

Skye smirked knowingly and turned to face the tree behind her. "Why not climb? The leaves are decently thick and there are plenty of branches to crouch on."
She grabbed the closest limb and levered her self up with relative ease. The thick greenery hid her from view. She held out a hand to the mages. "Come on!"

Larissa looked up to the branch, her mouth hanging, "You've got to be kidding..."
Then she glanced over to the cavaliers. With each second, they were getting closer.
Larissa looked at the branch again, then the cavaliers in the distance, "Uh..." She turned to Lumino, "You go up first, Lumino."
It would be hard. Larissa was not a bit agile and Lumino was a bit shorter than the two girls. But they'd all get up to that really really high branch eventually...Hopefully.

"Climb? Er...uhh.." Lumino didn't like the idea, he was never very good at that sort of thing. But before he could object Larissa was pushing him up the tree. "Wah! Ok ok!" And he slowly clambered up the tree hanging onto a branch with both arms and legs wrapped around it tightly.
Why did it have to be hiding in a tree? He thought as the cavaliers got even closer.

Larissa watched the cavaliers come closer and began to worry. With her outfit and purple hair, she'd be easy to see.
Larissa jumped for the branch and barely got her arms to wrap over it. She was only a few feet from the ground, but it seemed that she was holding on for her life, "HELP ME UP!" She cried, but more quietly than she would have normally yelled with the cavaliers soon approaching.

Skye giggled. This is rather entertaining. She grabbed Lumino's arms and pulled him up with relative ease. "Hold the branch above you for balance." She then turned her work to Larissa.
Dear god... The archer grasped the mages upper arms and yanked her up not too gently. Larissa being taller then Lumino, Skye only managed to pull half of her upper body over the branch. "Hurry up and climb!" She whispered in an urgent tone.

"WHO'S IDEA WAS IT TO HIDE IN A TREE ANYWAY?!" Larissa whispered fiercely, the volume being as loud as a whisper can be to be considered one.
She pulled herself up to the branch and then stepped up to a branch that wasn't too high. She looked down once and realized how high they were, about 15 feet off the ground.
Larissa hugged the tree in trepidation, fearing that she would fall and whimpered, "I'm not going any higher..."

Lumino had a death grip on the branches he was holding on to, and was barely even breathing, much less moving. He watched as the cavaliers slowly approached, holding his breath.

The archer looked amused as she scanned over both mages terrified expressions. She balanced on the branch without holding anything and leaned against the tree casually. Finally, something I actually like to do.
Skye remained silent as the cavaliers passed under the tree and stopped to search around about 6 feet away. They didn't turn around, but the one with the sword muttured something to the other. She only made out the words 'purple mage girl'.
I guess Larissa has some trouble following her. Kinda like me... She frowned slightly and waited for the enemies to move on.

Larissa's foot suddenly began to slip and she shrieked, "EEEEEK!!!"
After falling down to the next branch with a "CRASH!" the cavaliers turned around.
"What was that?" One asked. The others raised raised their shoulders as if to say 'I dunno'.
Larissa rubbed her head as she sat up on the branch. The fall could have been much worse had she not fallen in the way she had.
The cavaliers looked around and the prisoner they must have captured also looked. "Hey, maybe it's that girl, the daughter and purple-headed mage of those criminals, you know?" One suggested. Another replied, "Oh yeah! She's on Bern's Wanted List isn't she? I've heard she's a real loud-mouth." A scholarly cavalier sighed, "But I doubt it. The odds of her being located her a far too small. I believe she was last seen in Etruria." The leader of the cavaliers smiled, "Well, then after we take this guy to the prison, let's go get her too."
Larissa was appalled at what she was hearing. A wanted list? Her parents being criminals, again? Loud-mouth?!
She was fuming with anger as the cavaliers left, but at the same time, she was drowning in confusion.

Silently Lumino looked over at Larissa curiously. Criminal? That was just his luck, he waited until the cavaliers were safely over the next hill before daring to move or talk.
"They seemed to be looking for you, why?"
But before he could get an answer, he slipped from his branch and tumbled from the tree. It wasn't a large fall, but enough to knock the air from his lungs as he hit the ground. Groaning he pulled himself off the ground, adding to his question.
"I hate trees..."
