				(http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x79/Sweetfantasyworld/pics/Magical_Mirror_by_Ironshod.jpg)The black haired girl stood before the mirror with her long white night gown covering her small body. She held a silver platted brush in one hand as the other shifted it's fingers through the strands of hair, beginning to brush. Lirita's body was small from years of being kept in the secret mirror room where the queen store her many years before. Her skin was pale, almost vampiric pale yet, she looked beautiful like a porcelain doll. As the strands of black hair fell around her oval face, the small button of a nose wiggled from a draft of air. The mirror had parted slightly, the opening was a crack of hope to the outside world. Unfaltering to the world, Lirita froze where she stood, staring at that mirror remembering when she was taken, remembering when her father's heart broke as he handed his only little girl over to the queen's witch..<br><br>The man stood with his little girl in her arms, cradling the crying child as the mother lined the crib with more blankets. The fire was out, and smoked was the only thing heating the cold, ice winded home. They made very little money and could barely feed themselves, let alone a smile child. "What will we do.." Cried the frowning mother as she took the girl from the man and placed her in the crib wanting to keep her as warm as she could. The man frowned and rubbed his eyes tiredly. "I have no idea.. " As he said this, a woman knocked on the door before entering the home. She stood at six feet tall with long black hair that was curled into a bun on top of her head. She grinned like a lion ready to pounce as her long finger nails lightly tapped at the door frame. <br><br>"This is no place for a baby.... is it? Tsk tsk..." Of course the with had a plan. Hours before the white witch, bound with chains was forced to her knees and forced by brutal assault to tell of her of her foreseen vision. "I see..." Her eyes rolled back in to her head as her white hair lifted from her shoulders floating. "A very pale child who will have more power than you can imagine, more power than the queen will ever have, she will save us all.. She will be born the last day of October under the full moon, at midnight.." Just as she finished the Queen beheaded the lovely witch, sending the crow like one out to get the child. <br><br>Now the witch stands in the door way, holding her claw like hands out to the parents. "The child.." They looked to one another as Lirita cried in her crib wanting to be warm and fed, but the parents had no food or warmth to give. The mother looked away and ran to her room locking herself from the act the father was to bare. He picked up the child, kissed her forehead and handed the black hair, violet eyed girl over. She cradled the baby and turned from them. "Forget you ever had a child..." then she disappeared. She could have made both parents forget they had one, saving them heart ache and regret, but she wanted them to suffer, she loved it when people suffered, that was the kind of woman she was; cruel. <br><br>So now Lirita grew up in the castle, learning what she could, doing what she could. As she got older the queen decided to lock her away, in a tower with one mirror and enough things for her to&nbsp; live on. Little did she know the white witch placed a spell on this mirror... for one day She would he saved and in turn Lirita would save the kingdom. <br><br>Now she stands before the mirror, practicing spells and learning all she can from the books she was given. Lirita could sometimes see someone every now and then, however it was not clear, she was not a strong enough sight seer yet, it was a new possablity to her, and now she was trying her hardest to perfect it, wanting to get out of the caged room.

				Talon tossed and turned in his sleep, muttering quietly to himself and sweating before waking up with a start, it was the 6th in a consecutive string of nightmares. He looked around quickly, his hand held high, glowing bright white with magic power before realizing he had no one to use it against, he was safe, in his bed.<br><br>He sighed, bringing his hand up to wipe his brow of sweat. He decided he need some fresh air, to help him clear his mind, so he got up and got started dressing. He got on a tank top plain black shirt, thinking the wind would feel good against his arms, but instead of wearing shorts he got on grey long pants. He would have got on shorts but the meadow he planned on walking through had deep grass and he always hating the way it felt against his legs. He looked around his room briefly, wondering if he was forgetting anything, and spied his small weapon stand. he considered taking his sword for protection but decided against it, not much chance they'd be able to take him even if he was unarmed so he thought a knife would do just fine.<br><br>Thus armed he started walking out, pausing at the mirror in his room to check his appearance. He looked himself over, from his short blonde hair and bright green eyes to his medium height, muscular, and skinny body. With a smile of contentment he walked to the door, got his shoes on, and quietly left his house. He passed by the house of his instructor and sensei but thought it was too late at night to stop and say hello so he walked on. Just enjoying the open air and the breeze. He left tow and still walked on, a short ways into the forest. He'd never understood why the forest scared people at night, he'd always thought the moonlight shining though the trees was beautiful. <br><br>As he reached a the top of a small hill he looked up at the sky, somehow the hill had nearly no trees growing on it, just one lonely one near the top. He loved this place. Sometimes he'd climb the tree and sit for hours, other time's he'd sit at the top of the hill next to the tree and lament how lonely he sometimes felt. Like he beleived the tree sometimes must feel. His gift may elevate him above the average persons abilities, may bring him closer to the stars slightly, but it was lonely. With a sigh he rest down next to the tree and watched the moon for a while. <br><br>He wasn't sure how long it was before he decided to go back home but he guessed it had been an hour or two. When he finely did get home he took his shoes back off at the door and decided he'd meditate and start stretching for the day now. No point in going back to sleep when the sun was already starting to rise. He took off his shirt as he walked into his room, tossed it towards the basket he had for dirty clothes, and started to sit down on the bed, to meditate, before doing a double take. He woulda sworn he had just seen, oh god he did, a women dressed in pure white was in his mirror. He walked slowly towards the mirror, hesitant of it, only magic could do that and magic was not something to be messed with. He knew that from experience.<br><br>As he got closer he raised his left hand and while his right pulled out his dagger. He slowly extended his hand to touch the glass. He jumped as his hand touched the glass and spider web cracks ran though it from his hand, as if he'd shattered it with a single light touch.

				Suddenly the man’s image became clear. Lirita moved close to the mirror, pressing her nose against the class as her hands pressed her flat palm to the cool surface. The mirror created spider web like cracks before shattering the image it held before finding herself in a different room, with the hand now standing right in front of her. Lirita’s violet orbs popped open and looked frightened with the new smells, and the feel of his floor under her bare cold feet.&nbsp; <br><br>“What… what…” The skin on her face paled with sickness as her hands held her stomach, shaking like a frightened animal.&nbsp; Turning back to the cracked mirror, her body swayed left and right before reaching out to run her fingers over the now plain wall with a frame of cracked edges along the sides, showing the used to be whole mirror. Her finger grazed one of the shards making her wince. “Ow…” droplets of crimson liquids dripped down her hand. <br><br>“Where… am I?” She closed her hand, smearing the blood along her palm and other fingers making the cut look worse than it already was. Soon she swayed and stumbled looking as if she were going to pass out at any moment. “Please… don’t hurt me…” Her eyes shut as she began to fall back in a faint.&nbsp; It wasn't normal, the mirror cracking, now she was in another world,another time. This must have been magic beyond what she knew. <br>

				Talon jumped back, surprised, and his left hand started glowing bright white as he brought his dagger up. The girl in white had seemingly just appeared in front of him. He stared as she turned to the mirror and swaying. He slowly brought down and sheathed his dagger as he realized she was sick and just as confused as he was. He out out a hand to steady her, fearing she'd fall, just as he heard her say ow and he wondered what was wrong. <br><br>As she asked where she was and not to hurt her he he responded, "You're in Cantor, don't worry I'm not too evil." He chuckled and tried to keep her steady, "Take a seat...whoa there." He spoke right as she started falling backwards, he caught her before picking her up and setting her down on his bed. "Wow. Well that's new."<br><br>He turned and looked the mirror over for himself, surprised by it's new behavior. It certainly hadn't ever done that before. "Hmmm... I think I'm going to need a new mirror." Then he turned and looked the woman over, wondering who she was and where she came from. He noticed the bright red on he hand and left the room quickly before coming back with a small injury kit. He had kept one around ever since the incident with Riorden during a sword sparing match. He pulled out some bandages an a bit of alcohol. "Ummm... I'm sorry but if you can hear me this is going to sting." He doubted the mirror was too clean so he knew he had to alcohol it, he just wished he wasn't going to wake up a girl he didn't even know by using the alcohol. He didn't have many choices though so he did it anyways, cleaning her cut with a bit of alcohol before wrapping a bandage around it.

				((SHORT sorry :( probably going to write about two paras for now :D hope thats ok. )) <br><br>After being settled on the bed, she looked fairly pale and sickly. In her sleep she could vaguely feel the sting of alcohol as he cleaned her head. It soon stopped bleeding, showing a faint red spot through the bandage. Lirita innocent and fair was now in a world she never knew existed. Though, she didn't know she had any magical powers either, the queen kept that a deep dark secret from Lirita, hoping she'd never seek out her position. <br><br>The queen had heard what happened, her fat face a maroon red while she screamed at the servants and sent out a search party. The Mirror's portal closed once, Lirita was through. Her servants began scooping through the woods, looking for some kind of trail. The black Witch sat before the queen, tapping her long finger tails thinking. “My vision is clouded, however, since we killed the white witch I'll never know what she had planned or done.. “ The queen roared and slammed her fist on the table. “Just find her!” <br><br>Lirita began to stir, her eyes fluttered open, staring up at the ceiling. It was starting to get dark, she could see the glow of the sun starting to set. Slowly she tilts her head and feels a bit of dizziness.&nbsp; Looking around the room, Lirita almost forgot where she was. Suddenly she remember and sat up right. “Why am I are?” She whispered, unsure if the man from before was around her not.

				The sound of a sword striking against wood could be heard outside as Talon trained, wondering what all the nonsense with the girl had been about. He'd set his younger brother to watch over her in case she awoke while he was gone and was nearly finished with practice when his brother ran out of the house to get him yelling, "She's awake! She's awake! She's awake!"<br><br>Talon laughed and tousled his brothers hair before quieting him down, sheathing his sword, and walking in to meet the beautiful lady in white who'd fallen from his mirror. He ran a hand through his hair as he leaned against the doorway and looked her over. He wished she hadn't awoken towards the end of his practice, as it was his hair was messed up and sweaty, his work clothes, brown, tattered things, were in need of a wash, and he still hadn't had time to properly think about what in the name of all the heavens to do with a girl who falls through your mirror. So he asked the obvious; "Feeling any better? The was a mighty bad cut. Hope I cleaned it well."

				Lirita stared at the man that spoke to her as she flexed her fingers feeling the bandage around her hand. He looked as if he were working, with sweat dripping down his face and his clothing was a mess. Lirita wasn't used to being around another person without being watched or having someone near by, even with a man. She was in a room alone with this man, there was no maid or "mother" figure insight, it was improper...<br><br>Swinging her legs over the side of the bed, she placed her feet on the ground ready to stand. "Yes... it's fine.." Her voice broke a bit, as if it were the first time she spoke. "Where am I?"

				"You're in Cantor. A tiny little place. In my house to be a bit more specific." Talon Walked to her and offered a hand to shake, "I'm Talon. Nice to meet such a beautiful lady as yourself." He grinned, his eyes flashing, "Even if you fell through my mirror to get here."<br><br>He was happy she was okay. A bit confused about the whole falling through a mirror thing but obviously she hadn't done it on purpose or she wouldn't have reacted as she had, fainting and all. Nor did he think she would keep asking where she was. Her voice breaking as she spoke only added to her cuteness in his book. And she was already quiet cute, even hot, in his book.

				As her blue eyes focused on his, she shook his hand, knowing from books that was the polite thing to do. "I'm Lirita..." Blushing softy as she stood, her eyes fell from his and she stared at the broke mirror wondering what had happened. "Maybe it was meant... maybe.." She rubbed her chin lightly as she began to think. "Maybe it was the white witch... good on her word..." She shook her head, the black strands falling over her pale white shoulders.

				Talon took her hand and kissed the back of it, as was customary for greeting beautiful women, before following her gaze to the broken mirror. He'd left most of the pieces where they'd fallen for fear of the magic that had transported her here. For all he knew she needed each piece in the exact right place in order to travel back... of course that was making quiet a few assumptions but it was possible. Possibilities like that had made him decide it might be best to wait until later to mess with it.<br><br>He echoed her words as his confusion rose, "Meant? Meant what? White which? Who's the white which? Good on her word? What word?" He was hoping she'd have some answers when she awoke and it sounded like she did but what she was saying now made no sense, to him at least.

				The pale face turned red from a blush after he kissed her hand.&nbsp; Locked away from a world of her own, she was never permitted to be around men,&nbsp; let alone have one kiss her hand. She pulled it away rather quickly and stared down at the broken glass. Leaning down on her knees she reaches out and picks up a shard carefully, staring in to her reflection. She would have to go back&nbsp; to where she came from, she'd have to fight the queen or worse...the black witch.. <br><br>Throwing the shard on the ground, Lirita stands and flicks back some hair from her face. "I was stuck some place very...captive like. Though I had what ever I wanted, I never got freedom or my parents back, the white witch is a friend of mine and she promised me freedom when the time was right, so I guess it's now..." Shrugs a bit as she looks around the room. "I Have to go back.." Lirita began to frown as her blue eyes clouded with what seemed like years of depression.

				Talon smiled at her blush and her quickly looking away. If you would have asked him a few seconds ago he would have said there wasn't any way to make her cuter but when she blushed she proved that wrong, it succeeded in making her cuter. He found himself staring at her beautiful eyes as she turned towards the broken glass. "Careful." He said as she picked up a piece and held it in her hands. Her words brought him back out of his staring and to his senses.<br><br>"You have to go back? Why? I thought you said you were a captive? Why would you want to go back to that? Now that you're free don't you want to stay that way?"

				With his words, it seemed as if she had hurt his feelings by deciding to go back. "It's... a very long long story.. Just know I need to go back." She looks away before rubbing the back of her neck. What was she going to do? She had no idea how far she was from the castle or if she were even in that realm any more. Lirita simply hoped the white witch knew what she was doing. Sighing lightly, her hands dropped to her sides. "Yes... It was bad there, but if I don't go back the queen will harm people looking for me.. it wouldn't be safe for anyone.."<br><br>Lirita looked up at him and tilted her head to the side. "If you can directed me north of here, I believe that would be the way, I will go and won't be much of a bother to you anymore. Thank you for your help." She smiled lightly being proper as she was taught to be, as well as hospital. Lirita seemed meek and broken from so many years of hiding in that tower, yet she seemed to be getting a mind of her own. Sooner or later she will break free.&nbsp;

				"Well here. Sat down, I have time. In fact it's one of my number one resources." Talon gestured to the bed and took a seat next to where he'd gestured. "I'd like to know the story of the girl who fell through my mirror. Seems to me like it'd have to be a pretty interesting story. Then I'll see you on your way nice and properly, with a full belly, some extra food and equipment, and hopefully a good guide." Talon grinned, thinking he'd guide her himself to where he needed to go. He'd grown up in this town and so he knew the lay of the land fairly well, as well as anyone else he could send with her at least, and he didn't have anything better to do. Ever since he'd bested his last master he'd just been practicing most of his days away. He wasn't even sure what else he wanted to do with his life but that was a thought for another day, today what was important is that he wanted to go with her and didn't have a reason not to.

				Shaking her head she holds up her hands. "Please sir, the more we stay the longer people will suffer, if you must know the story I can tell you on the way, I'm sure it will take a few days walk or so.." She reached to her neck as if to touch something then frowned. "And I left my necklace there... aw..." Frowns more so now as she looks down at the ground. "We must go, please.." She almost sounded as if she were begging. "I will tell you anything you want if you go with me? I'm sure you could be handy with a sword! And So far you've given me no reason to trust you." Lirita had ignored his request to sit on the bed next to him, she was afraid to do so, remembering her rules from the tower even though she was on her own now, able to make her own decisions.

				"Whoa now. Calm down. One thing at a time. First off, I'm not sir. Makes me feel like I'm old. Call me Talon if ya like but please not sir. I've no reason to trust you yet here I left you alone in my house with my little brother, bandaged your wound, let you rest on my bed, and offered you a full meal so i think in this case you can afford to cut me a bit of slack. I'd love to take you where you need to go, really, that's no problem, but I really feel like we'd get there quicker if you told me the story before we leave. If we leave now, in a rush and without me knowing where we're going, I could take us the wrong way on accident, not bring the proper equipment for mountain climbing or whatever and end up costing us two or three full days on the journey, I don't want that to happen and I doubt you do either so I think we need to sit down, calm down, and fill me in on all the details. We can make a solid plan and then execute it properly." As he spoke Talon eventually stood and re-gestured to his bed before heading for the door, "And I'll be right back, I need to grab a map, it should help you. Though I think the map isn't as accurate as it could be, pretty old I think." Then he left and came back a few minutes later, old parchment map in hand.

				Lirita began to get frustrated they were wasting time NOW, why wouldn't he understand that. She could just leave on her own...seek the castle out, she was sure she could find it on her own with out this man who was trying to tell her what to do just as everyone did all her life. Rubbing her temples with her finger tips, Lirita takes a deep breath and&nbsp; lets it out before he comes back with a map. The paper looked old and brittle as if it would crumble at the touch of her fingers. <br><br>Talon laid the map out over the bed and Lirita took a few steps over, looking at the pictures until her bright eyes settled on one in the upper middle corner. Pointing to it her voice grew with excitement. "That is the castle.. Queen Roseta will be there,but so will the prophecy of which i need to find to know what I'm supposed to do..."<br><br>Lirita began retelling the story, how ever since she could remember she followed the queen around and was treated poorly unable to use her magic for anything because the black witch would slap her and tell her she was stupid, while the white witch had told her something different before the queen, unknowing to Lirita had killed. Lirita had to leave the castle and find a knight someone who could trust her and in turn she herself could trust. And they would go back to the castle where the prophet will be guarded by the queen's men so no other ear would hear it. "So you see, no matter how scared or how horrible I was treated, I must go back..." She bite her bottom lip and whimpered. "I need to find a book of magic as well..."

				"Hmm... Well it would seem your luck has turned. I've not been knighted but I was trained as a knight and they are few in all the land that could best me in battle. I'm sorry to sound arrogant, as I'm sure that does, but it's true. As for a spell book? Well that's a whole new story. I do know where a wizards school is, that would have spell books, but it's in the exact opposite direction of the Queen's castle." He pointed to a spot on the map in the middle of a valley down south of where they were now, a couple days journey south even. "It may be best to go to them first anyways as they could offer assistance with their magic?"<br><br>He wasn't sure be beleived her whole story but considering she fell through his mirror it was hard not to beleive. He wanted to help if he could, and it was true, plus he came back to the fact that he had nothing better to do. He'd like to tell his parents and brother goodbye before he left but he might just leave a note.

				Frowning again, she thought this over, the more they kept away the more the queen would grow angry. But if she went and got a magic book, she could learn fast and quick. Lirita already knew the little things, she could make things float, create a spark of fire, but nothing too dramatic yet. "I don't need assistance, I just need a book to read, we can borrow a book from them then On the way to the Queen's village I'll learn what I need to..." That was her condition, she wasn't going to accept anymore help. From what the White witch told her, she needed to be the one to end it, to end the suffering of the village. "We must go... "<br><br>Just as Lirita was pleading for help from the only man she ever met outside of the tower, The Queen screamed at her peasants and ordered her Soldiers to get off their lazy asses and Find her. She was scared, would the prophecy be true? No, it couldn't be... She was the ruler, the queen, the one who made the rules, she would find Lirita and Kill her just as she should have done when she was born.

				"Whoa now. I understand the need for speed but moving too hastily will only make us fail and I'm pretty certain, from what you've said, that's a bad thing. You need food and I need to gather supplies." He lead her to the kitchen, "Eat what you can, we won't be stopping for a while, I'll be back in... 30 or 45 minutes? About that at least. Will you be okay here by yourself?"<br><br>He wasn't going to take no for an answer. Yes it was important to get going soon but he knew at least one spot that they'd need to cross the river. Taking a bridge would add a full day on to the trip so he need to gather together proper equipment, a canoe would be nice. He also didn't want her tagging along while he grabbed everything together, it'd take longer if he had to explain what everything was for, plus she had missed lunch with the feinting and all so he was sure she was hungry.

				(( I'm gonna add a small twist from ff13 to make it more plausible as to why she needs to get where she needs to go, and partly taking your own tattoo idea :D No i wont be giving anything away from the game.))<br><br>Sighing softly she pinched the bridge of her nose, closing her eyes. She had magic abilities already, born with them with the symbol of ice on the middle of her back about the size of a baseball. She just wasn't sure how to use such magic. They never allowed to to ask questions or learn, the only times she knew she used it was when she got really upset and something strange happened, like ice crystals falling from the sky. She just wanted to go. Lirita nodded as he left, sitting back on the bed. Opening her bright blue eyes, they glanced around the room, looking over objects he had hanging around.<br><br>It wasn't that she didn't trust him, so far he gave her no reason not to. He didn't try to kill her, he even managed to fix up her cut. But she wasn't very trusting, not since... she grew up with the queen...staring off in to space her face was lifeless for the moment...<br><br>The queen stomped over the the trembling little girl, looking to be around 10 years of age. Her lips pulled back into a snarl as her hand reached out and wrap around the long raven hair tugging the head back. "What? You don't know how to clean windows?" The queen snarled again throwing the small girl on the floor ripping few strands of hair from her head. The black witch Smiled softly and spoke with a cool tone. "If I may intervene, I will show the girl how to clean properly..." The queen simply waved her hand and walked off. The black witch was no better and no nicer, in face she was much worse...<br><br>Feeling the tear stain her cheek, Lirita quickly wiped it away and broke from the image, She was not that little girl anymore.&nbsp;

				Talon left quickly, knowing time was not something he should be wasting, and started for his small shed that he'd turned into his personal armory. He quickly looked around, got a backpack and started stuffing it with the supplies they would need. He grabbed a small glowing green box that seemed to have liquid contents but if that was true then the liquid it contained didn't feel it was necessary to stick to the laws of gravity as it floated around seemingly at random. He shouldered the backpack and when over to his kayak first. There wasn't a way in heck the kayak would fit two people and he only had one kayak, plus he wasn't certain of her ability to use one to cross a river properly, but he decided to take it anyway. <br><br>He brought the cube up and violently smashed it against the kayak, as if trying to break the container and release it's liquid contents, but, instead of anything reasoning or sane happening, the kayak seemingly turned liquid itself and was sucked in to the cube. After it was gone there wasn't the slightest trace of the kayak and the cube wasn't heavier or changed in the least. Then he went to his sword stand and grabbed his finest sword. It had been forged by a now deceased man using some sort of secret technique he took with him to his grave. Many people said they were made using a mix of magic and forging and Talon wasn't inclined to disagree. He'd had his enchanted to match his powers, so that it worked as a channel for them, just like an extension of his body. Usually he'd need to toss his weapon aside in order to shoot the energy out of his hands, otherwise he'd just hit his sword but not with this one. With this one he could just as easily shoot energy from the sword as he could from his hand.<br><br>He tied the sword to his left hip and a small hunting dagger to his right before going to rummage through a small chest for his climbing gear. Once found it he hit the cube against it and all the ropes, pitons, and gear he'd gathered was sucked into the cube. He then went to the opposite wall where he had displayed various ranged weapons. From a small tube with a dart next to it to a crossbow, if you could name it Talon had it. He had always been a fan of his bow though, nothing quiet like it, and he picked it up now. He shoulder the quiver over his other shoulder and carried the bow as he looked around again. Deciding he had what he needed from there he left and headed for his parents house, they would have a canoe plus he wanted to say goodbye. He ran there and ran inside to tell them he was going on an adventure in the woods with a friend, who happened to be a girl, for a few weeks. He played it off as more of a prolonged date then any real danger but he didn't lie to them either. He asked where their canoe was and kissed them goodbye before collecting the canoe and running back. <br><br>He was sweating by the time he got back and he took the backpack off his shoulder when he entered his house. He put the cube inside before going to his room to gather some clothes and then the kitchen to get as much food as he could in the backpack, hopefully they wouldn't need half as much as he got into the backpack since they'd be going to the wizards school first but it was better safe than sorry. Then he grabbed the map, folded it, and but it in his back pocket before collecting his compass, and starting to look around the house to find his guest. "I hope you ate well because it's time to go." He said when he found her, still sweating and carrying his unstrung bow by hand and with a full backpack over his right shoulder and quiver over his left. "I'm sorry, I'm sure I smell horrid but as you pointed out we're a bit low on time so you're going to have to get used to it."

				While Talon had left, a worker had came in and gave the girl some clothing that would be far more suited for travel.&nbsp; She was dressed in male clothing of clothed pants and shirt that was all too big for her. A cap covered her head, keeping her long hair pulled into it to hide that she was female. She looked more like a young page boy then a female princess. As soon as she was dressed she nibbled on some food that was placed out for her, it was hard to eat, she was too worried about the world she came from, what the Queen and black witch where going to do once they found her, could she take them?<br><br>Who knew? Slowly she looked around the room taking in the different items that were placed, this was his room, Talon. A strange man indeed, Lirita didn't like being told what to do, yet she listened to him because she needed him to take her back to the village.&nbsp; But first it was off the the wizard school she'd never heard of, and wondered what it would have been like to have been trained in her powers?<br><br>Waiting&nbsp; for Talon to come back, she stood up quickly off the bed when the door opened. He was back carrying a pack with him, looking like he had just ran a mile. "As I've stated before, I don't like being told what to do, I've had enough of that in my life, second I'm already used to it and could care less, I'd like to just get going, so please lead the way, you know more then I do.." Nods before she fixes the hat on her head, covering her ears now. If she looked like a page book, no one be the wiser of what they were trying to do.

				Talon gestured out the door for her to go out first. "Well I'm sorry to be bossy but we don't have time for compromise. If it'll make you feel any better you can complain on the way." Once they were outside he lead the way out of town. "I'll try to be less bossy. I was just trying to get us moving. I'm sure you're eager to be moving and I've been wanting a good adventure since I was five. No one better suited as an escort either." <br><br>He decided they'd follow the river route to the school it was about four or five hours longer but they wouldn't have to go mountain climbing. They had to be ready for a fight and it would tire them out, at the least, to go mountain climbing. He wasn't going to risk their lives just to save a few hours.

				Playing with the dagger that was rested against her hip, she tired to walk like Talon was, a manly walk so she wouldn't be reorganized. However, being stuck in a tower for so many years didn't give her as much exercise as she should have. Lirita's knees and ankles began to grow sore, she was lacking a bit in speed now, but never complained. She had her eye on the mark, wanting to get there as soon as she could. <br><br>"So, how far is this school?" Trying to start a conversation with Talon to be nice and get to know him in a way, considering they will be together for a while, probably the whole adventure. "I mean, you might have somewhere to go or be soo.. I wouldn't want to hold you up..." Nods.

				Talon slowed down to match her pace, feeling held back but he doubted it she was doing it on purpose so he kept quiet. He noticed that she seemed to continualling be looking at and studying him, and he wasn't sure why. He knew himself to be cute, or hot even, but this didn't seem to be just normal staring, this was like she was trying to learn something. It made him feel like a fish in a bowl or a mouse in a maze.<br><br>"A while still. You want me to carry you? I've been training my life away to fight, I can carry you a fair way. At least until we have to stop to make camp for the night."

				Perking a brow at his words she tilted her head to the side. "No I don't wish to be carried..." Taking an offense to such a thought,&nbsp; Lirita forced herself to walk fast, ignoring her legs as scream out in protest. "I Will do just fine until we make camp..." Rumpling at Talon. "I say... I don't really care that you've trained all your life... Just know I HAVE NOT, it would be wise to be a little caring over such things as this. I'm not used to walking or talking to anyone outside of the tower I've been living in almost all my life..." Folding her arms over her chest, Lirita simply kept on walking as she spoke taking her mind off her pained feet. " Bragging about it doesn't suit you either..." Shaking her head, she placed her hands on her hat to keep her hair hidden. "Besides its almost time to make camp, the sun is setting."

				"I wasn't bragging. This is bragging, 'I'm the best swordsman in thirty miles' or 'I've hunting through these forests more times than anyone else'. I was simply trying to explain why it'd be okay if you're having trouble. Most people would be by now. It shouldn't hurt you're pride to need to be carried the rest of the way. Plus your pride needs to yield to reason. We'll move faster if you're not limping behind." Talon raised his hands, "I mean no offense, you're not holding me back. I just want you to know that the options there when you need it."<br><br>"Oh. And we won't be stopping at nightfall. Not if you want to make the journey in two days. We'll be going one for at least two hours past that." He was carting the brunt of the equipment so he was starting to feel the pain as well. But he'd learned to work through it over the years. He'd had a teacher in the magic school once, and as such he'd made this exact trip hundreds of times. It was second nature to him by now.

				"I call it bragging, believe what you want and we will be stopping at night fall. I don't like the dark... well just have to walk faster tomorrow, if it takes a little longer so be it.." She shrugged. She wanted to be there now, but they'd have to take a break and drink and eat. They can't simply walk through the hungry and thirst just because she wanted to be there as soon as they could.<br><br>"I think over by those tree's should be a good place to rest and set up a fire..." Lirita may not have left the tower much, but she did read a lot and read how to camp, it wasn't like the actually thing but... it was the closest she came to being outside and around people.

				"You don't like the dark so you want to stop in the middle of the forest at night? And build a fire? Oh because continueing onward so wolves don't have the time to set up an ambush just makes too much sense? Blindfold yourself if you need to. Or go to sleep. We've got to keep moving. If you do have enemies out here giving them a whole night to catch us and set up an ambush is the worse idea in the book. There's a cave just a couple hours further we'll stay in instead. That'll hide the light of the fire and make it a lot harder for them to ambush when we sleep. That's why it's so important that we continue on." <br><br>Talon wasn't going to stop early just because she was scared of the dark. He was way too eager to move onward, get to the fighting, the real adventure, he couldn't wait. And he was surprised that she wanted to go slower as well.

				"EXCUSE ME!" Lirita stopped and pointed her finger at him. "YOU didn't tell me there was a cave ahead so don't make me sound stupid just because you left out information and no one is following us YET, I'd know if they were..." Her eyes glared deeply at him starting to lighten up with a threatening look. She may look sweet and innocent at times, but when riled up she could get hot headed and end up hurting someone. "Don't make yourself seem all high and mighty just because you know the land and I don't!" Walking past him a wisp of cold air snapped at his neck before finally calming down. <br><br>Placing her hands back on her hips, Lirita started walking again now ignoring the man who she really disliked at the moment.

Sorry I didn't tell you but you're gonna have to trust me if we're ever going to make it through this. I put my trust in a girl who fell through my mirror. I'm staking my life on her.

She didn't look back at him, but kept walking to put some distance between to the two of them because of her pride. Deep down she knew he was right, knew that what he was saying made sense, but she wasn't going to give him the satisfactory. No she was going to keep her head high and her voice steady, No one was going to tell her what to do or make her feel stupid any more...<br><br>"LIKE I SAID you could have spoke of it to me, it's called whispering...idiot..."

				Lirita's pale face turned bright red as her arms crossed over her chest and she decided to not bother with talking to him. He can have the silent treatment now. Talon was being a brute, what ever happened to sweet princess's who woe the one they love? What happened to the "falling in love" on a magical adventure? Talon was not any prince she read about, he was just.... mean... IT was the only word she could think of at the moment. He treated her as if she was supposed to know how the enemy's thing. Lirita had never stepped out of the damn tower. Now she was free she could do as she pleased. <br><br>If she was such a burden why doesn't he leave her? She certainty didn't need him. Puffing her cheeks out a bit in thought she wanted to yell and scream at him as much as she wanted to live, she she kept quiet. Lirita decided she would not talk to him until it was necessary. She simply followed along beside him until they reached the cave. Lirita was certainly not going to be those idiotic damsel in distress that she read so much about. Perhaps that is why he was not like the prince's she read about, the books lied to her. Suddenly she felt sad.<br><br>The air around her grew chilly, frost seemed to appear along the tree's she walked by as the mouth of the cave could be seen.&nbsp; Maybe everything she ever read, ever known was a big lie, everything she learned was not what it seemed? No She could not believe that, some things had to be true. Maybe he was just a miserable man that didn't like woman around, or felt they were weak... well that would get old very quick.

				Drake felt bad about making her mad but at least now she knew better. He scanned the forest constantly as they made their way to the cave, trying to be ever vigilent, knowing that one arrow could end him at any moment if he didn't see it coming. <br><br>They made it to the caves without incident however and he sat down his pack and started trying to make a fire. First gathering wood and then getting out his flint and steel to light it. Once it was lit he started a small meal warming over the fire and sat up their blankets and sleeping bags while it heated up. Once the small bit up chicken was heated he split it in half, put each half on a plate, and offered her some. "The minerals in this cave make it hard for a magician to scry us here, not impossible, but hard. So I think we should be safe for the night. Here. Eat up. It's no royal meal but it's still good. And it's the best I can do really. I'm not much of a cook."

				(( If i ever call her Keylee instead of Lirita forgive me XD, I sometimes get mixed up what I name myself lol.))<br><br>Not speaking, she took the plate from him and sat on her sleeping bag, her back to the fire. Slowly she nibbled the chicken in thought. <em> Royal meal? What's a royal meal?</em> Looking confused down at the chicken, this was probably the most food she was ever given, considering her living conditions in the tower. Shrugging her shoulders, she finished up the chicken and placed the plate next to her before she fluffed her sleeping bag.&nbsp; She'd have to sleep in her clothes, Lirita wasn't going to pull off anything, or show any flesh to this man..<br><br>Sighing, Lirita crawled over the sleeping back and laid on her stomach, letting her long legs stretch out and cross at the ankles. Her arms curled around her head, keeping off the ground. Suddenly her eye lids began to grow heavy with fugitive. In no time she was out, almost looking dead.&nbsp; As she slept her bag glowed softly in a light blue manner. Unknowing about it herself, she knew she had some sort of power, Mainly to do with ice, but she didn't know where the power came from.<br><br>On her back was a symbol of ice, it took up her middle back and was there since she was born, partly why the queen wanted to keep her under lock and key. She didn't want lirita to know of her power's or what was that on her back, she was always told it was a birth mark. But Lirita wasn't that dumb. They gave her plenty of books and plenty of ways to gain knowledge. Of course, She never allowed anyone, but the queen to see her back, there were 3 whip marks along the sides of her back, from where the queen punished her when she didn't did what was asked. <br><br>As she slept, little words here and there would escape her lips, "Yes Ma'am, No Ma'am." Was said repetitively. Before long, she repeated, "I've cleaned... I cleaned....." As if to list of places she's cleaned and dusted for the queen. Lirita rolled over and curled up, sleeping silently now.

				Drake took off his shirt to use as a pillow before curling up under his blanket and watching her sleep. He was physically fatigued but he couldn't stop thinking about it all. Here, now, he was on an adventure. A real life quest. He would be, assuming he survived, remember on in legend and one day inspire some other little kid. It all seemed a little surreal to him. He knew he'd always been meant for something special, his powers weren't given for him to squander, surely, but he had only been able to hope and dream until now. And even with all the dreaming he did about this day he'd never expected a girl to fall through his mirror. <br><br>He watched as she glowed lightly, and wondered what that meant. Something magical obviously, but what. Maybe it was just a sign that she was chosen. Or maybe some sort of magical tracking beacon set off by the queen. He'd find out at the magic school, they'd be able to detect anything magical like that.<br><br>He layed and listened to her sleep speak for a bit before putting out the fire and walking to the edge of the cave to watch the stars. One day a constellation may even be named after them he thought. He sighed and leaned up against the mouth of the cave and wondered if they'd even make it. If it was easy to make history everyone would have done it. With so few having done it then it must be very hard and very easy to fail. And in this case that would mean death. That wasn't such a bad thing to him. At least he'd go down fighting, and he'd die for a good cause, but he felt bad for the poor girl he was escorting. She didn't have a choice at all in any of this.<br><br>He stayed up all night, unable to sleep, and had breakfast ready by the time his companion awoke. "Rise and shine, breakfast time." He offered her some of the toast he'd made. "And I'm sorry to seem condesending, I'm just trying to teach you how to survive out here. It's not easy and if something happens to me I don't want you being stuck completely S.O.L. I'm not a very good teacher, I'm sorry. Can we put it behind us?"&nbsp;

				Waking up the next morning, Lirita stretched her arms above her head and rolled over on to her back, feeling a run just under her shoulder blades. Her eyes quickly opened and she sat up right. <em> Ah... so it wasn't a dream...</em> Looking fairly sad, a smell caught her attention.&nbsp; Looking up she took the bread from him and shrugged. Deciding to speak her words sounded hollow. "I still think I'm right, your not really teaching me anything, I'm not sure if I'd want to put it behind me, I don't wish to have anyone think they can walk all over me again." with that being said she bite into her toast and turned away. <br><br>After finishing, she stood and began to roll up her bag and help him get ready to pack it all up. Lirita was really unsure weather or not she wanted to speak to him, it wasn't easy not to, she'd been so lonely in her tower that it was good to finally have some one to speak with. She just didn't want Drake feeling as if he could walk all over her and order her around. He didn't know everything. Shaking her head she stood up and dusted the dirt from her clothing. "We should be going."

				"I don't want to walk over you or use you or anything like that either. I want to help you and lead you through these troubling waters. I know I'm not the best leader and the difference between leader and bully is sometimes hard to see. But I have your best interests at heart. I'm trying to do what I can to see this quest through." Talon&nbsp; packed up as he spoke, with practiced ease, it was something he'd done a lot over the years, and something he suspected he'd be doing plenty more of. <br><br>"Here, before we leave, let me show you how to build a proper campfire. I mean no offense, I'm sure you can build a fine one, but as I said before, if we get separated I don't need you dying of frostbite before I rejoin you." He knew things she didn't, she knew things he didn't, it only made sense to share that knowledge when they could. He'd be happy to teach her a thing or two about surviving the wilderness, it'd help the time pass and improve her odds if he died. So long as she didn't get indignant again at least. If she was going to do that every time Talon thought she could wait until she got over that to learn.

				" I know how to start a fire, can we just go please?" She began to tap her foot looking anxious. "Why do you keep referring to me as a quest? I'm not a quest, I'm a person that needed help. Not some girl you hope will you get famous.." Frowning Lirita turned from him looking out side the mouth of the cave. "I'd like to just get there as soon as I can, I'd really like a warm bath.." Sighing as if she dreamed of baths all day long, Lirita pushed strands of hair from her eyes. <br><br>"How much longer do we have?"

				"Really? You were taught the chimney pattern to lay the wood so it'd burn longer and cook your food better? I know it's not the most interesting or important thing but if I die you're gonna wish you knew how to set a proper fire." And she accused him of being arrogant? And then turns around and snubs his teaching? Well she'd either learn or not. He could only offer to teach, no more.<br><br>"I don't mean it like that. Well... I mean... I don't know. I mean this is a quest right? Like in those old stories people tell? I always wanted to be a part of one. This isn't some story though. It's real. And I don't mean to do this for glory. That may be part of he reason, buts it's not the main reason. I mostly did it because it's the right thing to do. Right? Helping you is the best thing I know to do."

				"Yes, fire's are easy..." Shaking her head she sighed and rolled her eyes. This was getting them no where, she just wanted to go and go now. "It's not a quest, its a favor, and help. I asked for your help. A quest is something more... I dunno important or something. This is more like I need help and you could show me how to solve my needs..." Frowning a little that didn't seem to make any sense at all. She rattled her brain and began to think. "This just isn't a quest ok? I'm not your ticket to be put in a story or be the girl that got you glory and gold. If that's why your helping me I'd rather you not help me..." She frowned and crossed her arms before stepping out of the cave and into the sun that was raising.
