"Draco Guro", spoke a barkeep as he looked down at a young women. It was not that the women was particularly short, but rather the barkeep was usually tall. He had a golden mustache and a brilliantly yellow afro to follow. On his chest was a white T-shirt that read praise the sun. All around the bar there were several sun related artifacts. A sun shaped clock, sun dials for tables, and even bright yellow drinks that were made from oranges. It was a very bright place, but it was located in a very gloomy area. This was Ilia after all. It snowed almost every day and the grey clouds often blocked out the sun the barkeep praised so much. Not to mention that the Inn was not located near any town. It was just a place the man threw together one day after he tossed his hammer into the sky. According to the sign outside the sun lead him to the place. Ironically enough though the place was a nest for magic users and of all classes.
"So you haven not heard of him", spoke Bee. The pink hair maiden was both sad and happy about that. On one hand she could not get any information and on the other she did not have to worry about him showing up. Taking a sip from her drink Bee began to lean back in her chair. She needed to become stronger. At the moment there was no way she was going to beat the man. "I need to learn the secrets of the shaman", he spoke to herself. If she understood how they worked then she could possibly defeat him. Knowledge is power. Bee understood that. Despite the fact that she loved to do things on the fly.

Dawson trudged through the snow as he clutched his tome in his little satchel that he had with him. He sighed as he remembered that day. He knew that there was nothing he could do to reverse his wrongs in what he did, but he swore that he would do everything in his power to prevent "the dark arts" from being used for wrong.
He then paused as he spotted an bar ahead. "Strange place to have an bar at...Guess I could use the time to rest there..." he said as he went on ahead. He couldn't help but wonder, why? Why was he of all people taken that faithful day only to be trained in the dark arts? Dawson merely shook his head, trying to get the thought out of his head. As he went inside, he then saw something he thought he would never see again...her.
It was the same girl that his mentor brought in that made Dawson leave that faithful day. Pink hair and all. He then shook his head and sighed. No way that could be her...it was years ago since I've left Draco Dawson thought as he entered the room. He avoided eye contact with the girl as he sat down at a table nearby. He thought he heard something about Draco from the barkeeper that was talking to the girl, but then Dawson just sighed. I promise, he will pay for his crimes, I will NOT let him continue with what he has done Dawson thought. He merely just sat silently, thinking of the guilt that he continued to harbor to himself, the same guilt that Draco caused so many years ago.

"Oh well", spoke Bee as she began to sip on her orange liquid. At this point she was ready to throw in the towel. She did not know any dark mages, nor did she have any desire to study the dark arts herself. She knew enough about the neither to know just how dangerous it really was. The darkness seemed to have a mind of its own. It hungered for the souls of man and devoured all who studied it. Bee never understood why fools would dedicate themselves to the forbidden dark arts. Maybe it was the power or maybe it was the allure of forbidden magic. Bee figured she would never understand it.
"Elder Magic sucks", spoke Bee aloud. She intended for the comment to remain between herself, I, and Me. However sound had a different idea. It took her comment and spread it around the entire room. Her words seemed to bounce off the world and began to awaken a sleeping giant.
"Foolish little girl", spoke a man in the back of the room. He was wearing black robes and had his entire face covered. The only visible thing that could be seen from him was the crimson glow of his eyes. "Fools like you will never understand the true nature of the world and reach ultimate power!"
"Unwashed heathen", spoke a facy dressed women in the center of the room. "Men like you are the reason the world is in such a terrible shape. The darkness is a corruption that taints both the land and the souls of man. You all should turn away from your dark ways and embrace the true power of the world magic born of Faith."
"Oh please sister", spoke a voice to the right of Bee. The maiden actually reconized this voice. Bee turned around to see a familiar face standing ontop of a table.
"Well well if it is not old Elementous", spoke Bee as a smile crossed her face. The young wizard had been a acquaintance of Bee when she was just a novice. The two of them had dedicated themselves to a single element. Bee had chosen fire wile Elementious had chosen...
"Feast your eyes on UNLIMITED POWER!!!" As the words raged out of Elementious mouth lighting shot from his finger tips. Bolts of electricity shot across the room over everyone's head. The barkeep, being smart, jumped to the ground. Bee however simply sat in her chair. She had seen this display before from him. She was in no real danger, well she thought.
"See this is why combat magic should be eliminated", shouted a frail looking maiden. "Magic should only be used to help man and never to destroy him."
It seemed that Chaos had come to the little sleepy bar, and it was all thanks to a single comment made by Bee.

Dawson merely sat at his table, observing what would happen. Thats when he was suddenly shook back to reality when the young girl said "Elder Magic sucks". Dawson sighed. He didn't blame her, he also hated using elder magic, but with the amount of training he had to take in, how else would he survive the dangers of the world? He knew that many people disapproved of the use of Elder magic, and even proceeded to call it "dark magic". He knew it wasn't dark, but only the ones who use it are evil at heart. Yet despite that, he knew that everywhere he went, he would be discriminated, especially in Etruria where the country mainly used light magic. "If only I could talk to her...apologize for my actions...but even then, it wouldn't be enough, not even remotely enough. Though I left right as she was taken in, I still feel guilty for what I've done...being trained by Draco, the same one who I now seek to defeat... Dawson muttered to himself.
Thats when he saw chaos erupt in the what was once peaceful bar, including a mage who shot a bolt of lightning across the room. He figured it was just for show, but he knew that it could just have easily hurt someone. "I think I've seen enough, best get out of here before things get too out of hand..." Dawson said as he started to head for the door. He took one last look at the girl that sat at the bar. He sighed, he knew it would only be a matter of time before she noticed him, and potentially recognized him. I don't want to do this...I won't let Draco win...I will find him, and defeat him and the cult...but I must grow stronger Dawson thought as he went out the door.

Needless to say people did not take kindly to somebody shooting magic over there heads. Almost the entire bar erupted in a uproar. Spells were prepared and magical light filled the room. The only one who was not angry was Bee. For her it was just a pile of great amusement. Still she knew she was going to have to get Elementious out of trouble. As everyone yelled at him he began to yell back. He thought he could take on all of the mages in the room at once, what a lovely little fool he was.
"Alright that is enough", spoke the Barkeep as he got up from the ground. Apparnatly he found his courage. Pulling a staff from under the counter top the man slammed it onto the ground pulled out his own magic. A bright flash filled the room cutting off all the spells. Silence, thought Bee. She would have said it, but the man had taken away sound. With a twitch of his risk the Bar Keep activated another side of what now appeared to be a three headed staff. Suddenly Bee saw Elementious light up like the stars and then she felt a sudden tingling feeling on herself as well. What the, Bee wanted to scream, but she still could not talk.
"Take your little arguments outside little girl", spoke the Bark Keep. "And you get the F#$% out my bar", he shouted toward Elementous! Without another word the both of them vanished. It was the power of the warp staff. In a instant Bee found herself falling from the sky above the structure of the bar. They were just outside the house the Sun Bro Inn, the only problem was that they were several feet above the ground.
"What the hell", shouted Elementious as he and Bee began to free fall. Elemntious was panicking. He had no way of stopping his fall nor did he know any other magic beyond shooting lighting out of his palm. The only option he had left was to simply fall face forward into the snow and prey to the gods that he did not hit anything hard. The same fate Bee would share as well, but the maiden had a trick up her sleeve. Pulling out a grenade form her pocket Bee pulled the pin. She tossed it toward the ground and suddenly there was a massive explosion of air. The force slowed there fall to a halt and allowed the two of them to hit the ground with a light thump. Unfortunately the wind had knocked up a pile of snow that flew toward the young man that was exiting the bar.

Dawson walked out of the bar right as the bartender started yelling. When he looked back, he saw a light from inside. He figured it was the bar tender breaking up the chaos that was inside. He turned around only to be greeted with a face full of snow. Dawson wiped the snow from his face and clothes and looked ahead, only to see the same girl from before along with the other mage that shot the lightning bolt. He had a slight worried look on his face as he looked at them. "That was...quite a fall from there, are you two alright?" he asked as he slowly made his way towards them.
Dawson silently gazed at the girl with a sad expression. He then stopped, sighed and then looked away. "Do...you know someone called Draco by chance?" he asked, still looking sad. He knew that he didn't like the fact that he was trained by him. He also knew that if she found out he was trained by him, the girl might assume that he was an enemy to her. I just hope she dosn't ask why I know this stuff...I really REALLY don't want to fight her... he thought.
He sighed and then looked away. "You know what...never mind...forget I said anything...I was about to leave anyways...I didn't mean to disturb you" Dawson said. "Its just that...I'm...not a big fan of him at the moment. That however is putting it lightly" He then faced her again, looking sadder than before. "And that would be putting it lightly..." he said with a sigh.

"I AM ALIVE", shouted Elementious as he pulled himself out of the snow. The lighting mage was so thrilled that he began to shoot lighting bolts into the air in celebration. Bee on the other hand was more annoyed than anything. Why in the world had the bar keep thrown her out. She had done nothing. Elementious she understood. That idiot almost burned the entire place down. As Bee recovered she was meet by a strange black hair boy. The young man seemed familiar, though Bee could not put her finger on it.
"I am fine", spoke Bee as a wive of chill rand down her body. The fire mage then began to summon up flames. Drawing upon the power of fire spirits Bee created seven small fire balls. The fire balls rotated around Bee like a slow moving tornado. The flames warming her up in a 360 degree radius.
It was then that the man said something that caught Bee's attention. "Draco", spoke Bee as her face took on a serious expression. The man was trying to walk away now. Did he know something about Draco. Did he know about his magic. This was important stuff. With a serious expression and fearsome Eyes Bee stepped forward and grabbed the man's wrist with all the strength she had.
"What do you know about Draco Guro", she asked in a serious tone. The seven small balls of fire continue to rotate around the two of them. It gave off a new sinister light as Bee's serious expression gained some weird shadows. Catching herself for a moment Bee let go of the young mans arm.
"Sorry about that", she spoke as she rubbed the back of her head. A bit of goop from her hair got onto her hand. Bee looked at it for moment and then whipped her hand cleaned it with some snow.

Dawson sighed. He knew he was going to have trouble explaining about Draco, especially to her of all people. Well...I umm..." he stuttered. Damn...this is really going to be difficult to explain... he thought. "Well...to put it bluntly...I..." He then paused. "First, it might be important you know who I am first...I'm Dawson...Dracos...well now former student of Draco" he said softly. He knew that a quarrel with her might be inevitable. "Look, trust me, I know you would hate me for this, but yes, I was trained by Draco, but I no longer have any ties with him whatsoever."
He sighed, he didn't know if she would believe him or attack him, simply because of the fact he was associated with Draco. "Look...I don't know where Draco is, last I've heard though, he might be somewhere on the continent looking for someone...or even me...to take me back..." He shuddered as he finished saying that. He did NOT want to go back to Draco, he consistently had nightmares of abusive training under that man. "I know this much: he is strong, especially with those dark tomes...I don't know which ones exactly he uses, but I do know that it would mean bad news if he found us soon...Thats why..." he sighed, then finished with "Thats why, because of the "experiment" he did, I escaped from him, the guilt I bear...it's almost too much for me, knowing that what I use is being used for an evil purpose..." He finished saying. He kept his hand on his satchel in case she still was wanting for a fight. As much as he hated using his powers to fight, he had to defend himself somehow...

Draco's apprentice, that was the only thing Bee heard. The very idea of the man sent a cold chill down her spine. Fear began to fill her heart as she looked at the man. If he was here then Draco was here. Where was he, she thought as she began to look around. Her eyes darted to the left and then to the right. She could not see him, but she was sure she could feel him. His eyes were on her. His magic poised. He would capture her and then the experiments would start all over again. The darkness, thought Bee as the small fire balls began to get larger. The fire spirits began to respond to her flurry of emotions.
"Hey Bee you might want to check that", spoke Elementious. However the maiden could not longer hear him. She was burried under a wave of fear. The fire balls continued to grow and the flame spirits began to suck magical energy from the distraught young women. Her body began to heat up as the fires began to go out of control.
"Hey buddy you might want to get out of there", shouted Elementious as he rushed forward. Drawing upon his own magic Elementious fired a bolt of lighting toward one of the fire balls. The force caused it to explode prematurely and opened a path for the man to move.
"Bee get a hold of yourself", shouted Elementious. His eyes shifted toward the man. "What did you say to her", he asked with a horrid expression on his face. It was clear that whatever it was had broken Bee's concentration.
"No", shouted Bee suddenly. Her body was starting to steam from the heat. A smile had crossed her face as she felt herself burning up. The fire spirits were going to take her. However it was not time for Bee to go. It was not her time to die. As much as Bee loved the idea of going up in flames, which she actually did not, she had things still left to do. She had a man she needed to kill. Draco Guro had to die. Taking a deep breath Bee began to calm herself. Her mind was once again focused. The words that had been ignored were starting to come back to her. He was not with Draco, she told herself. Draco is not here. There is no need to be afraid, no reason to bring the flames. Bee's meditation began to work and the fire balls began to die down. In a single puff they outright vanished and Bee fell down into the cold winter snow. Her body rapidly cooling as she stared up at the grey sky.
"That... was close", spoke Elementious. He eyed Bee for a moment and then turned back toward the Shaman. "What did you say to her", he asked with a blank stare. The mage began to rub his chin. Maybe he could use this bit of information one day.

Dawson jumped back in surprise at what has happened in front of him. He knew that she would be hostile at the mere mention of Dracos name, but he wasn't expecting it like THAT. "She has every right to be mad at me...I instead of taking her with me when I escaped, I just left her with Draco..." He sighed, then held his head with his hand. "Maybe if I took her, she could have lived a more normal life, but alas, I was a fool..." he just sighed.
He turned toward the mage who just saved him. "Its...complicated. And it is a long story...I would suggest heading back into the bar to talk about it but..." He figured that since they were warped out, they were kicked out of the bar by the barkeep. "Well...anyways, it involves the two of us...and a druid that goes by the name of...well...I think you heard it" he said. He didn't want to upset the girl anymore than what he wanted to.
"Well...all I can say is that from the way it sounds, both me and her have a common goal; to get strong enough to defeat him..." Dawson said. He didn't know if he could trust the other mage yet. Granted he did just save his life there and possibly the girls life had she consumed more of her energy, but he still was unsure if it would be wise to share more than that with the other mage. He just sighed. "I'm...I'm just a sorry excuse of a man at this point...I bear the guilt knowing that I caused her pain, granted it was indirectly, I still caused her pain. She wouldn't have felt that pain had I taken her with me when I escaped from him... Dawson said sadly. He wasn't sure if the girl would forgive him, but Dawson knew that he would never forgive himself no matter what he did to atone for it.

Elementious looked at Dawson for a moment and then turned to Bee. He had heard a bit about Bee's past. A bit is the best way to describe it. He knew she had a enemy she wanted to burn alive and that was about it. Now he meet this Dawson person and learned that the guys name was Draco. Other than that however he had nothing. From what he could tell Bee had some ptsd from her past and that nearly gave her a ticket to Dead Land. "So from what I can tell .."
"Can it Wilson", spoke Bee calling Elementious by his real name. Her words immediately flustered the lighting mage and sent him into a defensive slur. Bee however was ignoring him. Her eyes were still planted toward the heavens. She had lost a lot of energy in that little fit of hers. She was so tired and yet she could not sleep. Instead her eyes simply stared up into the grey sky as the snow around her began to chill her flesh. Draco, and here she thought the man no longer held power over her. Just the mentioning of his name sent her emotions into a tornado and nearly cost her her life.
Giving off a long sigh Bee figured she was going to make the best of this. "So you worked and studied with him", spoke Bee toward Dawson. Her eyes still pointed up toward the heavens. "I don't remember you being around when he was performing his experiments. So either you left before then or you left before he started to share his notes. I would have remembered your face if you didn't."
Bee stopped for a moment and then began to think on her ordeal. It was a hard time in her life and porbably the most depressing. Ironically thought those times made Bee the chipper person she was. The grass on this side of the fence was far greener and Bee enjoyed every minute of it.

Dawson sighed. He knew that she was upset and knew that she wanted revenge as much as he did. He then nodded and said "That is correct. I...was trained by Draco before you arrived...and he used some of the same techniques on me to make me become who I am now...I left right as you arrived as I became disgusted at what he has done." He then sighed again. "Draco...from what I know, he is a high ranking member of some cult...the cult isn't well known from what I've learned when I was with him, but the cult..." he paused. He didn't want to expose this bit of information quite yet. He could tell that she is already dealing with enough trouble as is from the horrors Draco dealt to him. "...well the cult isn't good at all..."
He then sighed again. He then stared at the girl and spoke with slightly more confidence. "Look...I know I've had no part in what Draco did to you, and I really don't know what Draco did to you after I left...but..." He sighed, then spoke again. "Maybe if I did things differently...maybe if I taken you with me to escape from him, you wouldn't have dealt with his horrific methods...I'm....I'm sorry" Dawson chocked out. He could feel his chest grow heavy. He didn't expect her to forgive him on the spot, but he knew that his guilt would only grow more and more if he didn't say what he said. "I...don't expect you to forgive me for what I've done...I don't even forgive myself for what I've done...I'm trained in the use of Elder magic...and to be honest, I don't like it. I know that using it brings back memories of how Draco used the same magic I use now for his horrific agenda..." He just stood where he was with a frown.

"Forgive you", spoke Bee. The maiden focused on that word. "Why would I forgive you. You have not even done anything to me", spoke Bee as she stared at the clouds. "You where not around when I was being tortured, nor did you do it yourself. There is no guilt in your actions. You probably blame yourself for the fact that I was still left there, but your going to have to get over it. Life sucks and this is part of life. There has been plenty of times I have seen somebody get attacked by some bandit or some monster and walked away. I was weak then and I could not do anything to help. If that person died does that mean that blood is on my hands. No, no it does not. The blood is on the hands of the bandit or the beast. Same with Draco and the same with monsters. To be honest umm... umm... well to be honest Shaman I don't really care about you, and I mean that in a good way. All I care about is the location of that jerk that manipulated me."
The maiden then attempted to get up, but the strength had not yet returned to her limbs. Still Bee struggled to move and eventually she was able to rise from the ground. With a few slow steps she moved over to the Shaman. "You know dark magic right. Then you can help me defeat the bastard. I need to know all of its weaknesses and strengths. I need to know his tactics. I need to know who Draco is. That is the only way I can stand a chance in a actual fight against him. So", spoke Bee as he natural smile crossed her face. "How about we team up for a little while. Together we can take down that bastard and set things right."
"Oh crap", spoke Bee as a sudden seriousness dawned on her face. "How could I forget it", she spoke aloud. "I hope it is not to late", spoke the maiden as she reached down and touched her tome. A faint light shinned from it. Bee then suddenly raised her hand infront of her face. Letters made out of flames filled the air in front of her. They read out B E E. "The name is Bee. It is spelled B E E, just like the insect, but without the stinging. Now that I have introduced myself what is yours", spoke the maiden.

Dawson smiled slightly. He knew it was true, but he still felt some slight guilt in what he had done. "Nice to meet you Bee, names Dawson. And yes, I do know dark magic in fact. I do know from when Draco taught me and as you probably well know by now, dark users like me and Draco have an advantage against those who use the elements like fire that you use or thunder that your friend over there uses" he said mentioning toward the other mage. "However, elder magic really has a disadvantage when confronting those that fight with light magic like many of the spell castors that live in Etruria. Light however doesn't match up well when faced with someone that uses the elements. For once in a long time, Dawson felt really pleased with himself. "It would be an honor to fight beside you, I-nay, we cannot let that monster continue with what he is doing" he said.
He knew that Draco was quite powerful, in fact, he knew from the "bouts" that he had with Draco that it would be tough facing him, even if they did have advantage and found a light tome to use. "I also remember this much when I faced him; I believe that he also uses some of the elements too, but he mainly sticks with elder magic." Dawson said. He was pleased to know that he had an ally that he could count on to defeat Draco. Perhaps, with their powers, they might have a chance to actually defeat him.

"Maybe against Bee's element", spoke Elementious with annoyance. "Lighting is the most powerful, the fastest, and the most fearsome of all the elements. Dark magic stands no chance against it. It is true in a straight to straight shot that dark magic would have the advantage, but Lightning magic so much more! I would cook this druid of yours into a charred lump before he could get off a single spell."
"Really Wilson", spoke Bee with annoyance.
"It is Elementious", shouted the mage in frustration. "I should have never told you my real name", he whispered under his breath.
"Anyway", spoke Bee turning her attention back towards Dawson. "I know the basics. i know the magical triangle. What I am more looking for is the exact spells he can cast and is technique while casting. Those are going to be the key factors in whatever battle we have with him. However all of that is going to have to wait", spoke Bee as she grabbed her sides. We need to get a fire started and set up camp. I am pretty sure the innkeeper is not going to let us back in.
"Good ridings I say", spoke the Thunder Mage. "I don't need no soft sheets and fools. Besides I am pretty sure that the beds have lice in them and other grows disease. Such a back water bar should be burned down!"
"I am tired", declared Bee as she took a seat on the ground. She then opened up her bag and pulled out the tent she had been using. Setting up the structure the maiden prepared for the long and cold night that would be ahead. Normally bee would create fire with her tomes, but with everything that happen she did not want to use magic for a good bit of time.
