				<div align="center">(http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii150/PaintedGreyish/1146848990_sAnimeGirl.jpg)</div><br>Fate was not happy and glared at the noblemen and his guards as they bid their farewells. Then again she supposed it wasn't their fault they'd wanted to be rid of her. Sighing she turned and began walking, two miles east they said. Too afraid to even go into another town with her they were and that made her scoff. As a young half elf Fate was sure she was not -that- bad and didn't deserve desertion. <br>Apparently there was some sore of library in the city she headed toward that would help her. Bah, books had never been much help she found. Fate had never been one for words, far too bold her father had said. Thoughts of her father brought on a pain she still couldn't deal with. As the weather changed and clouds darkend the evening sky further Fate raised her cowl. <br><br>For hours the rain pelted down and as her heart raged so did the winds. By the time she got to the city she was soaked and filthy. Growling at anyone dumb enough to get near her Fate looked at her crude map and headed towards the tavern. Overnight there and then on the morrow she'd begin her 'search for knowledge'. More like an excuse to be rid of her she thought again. <br>By the time she reached the raven her feet were frozen and sore, her long black hair was a wet mess clinging to her pale face and neck. The robes she wore were all hanging from her lithe form showing off more curve than she liked. Her cloak was heavy and nearly strangling her so she had to remove the cowl and arrage it around her.<br>Barely acknowledging anyone in the establishment Fate walked to the table nearest the roaring fireplace. There she sat slightly away from her table and nearly in the damn hearth allowing the fire to warm her frozen from and begin drying her soaked clothing. Blue eyes went from stormy to kind when a tavern maid approached and Fate asked for a tea. The maid was nice enough but very docile, like a beaten horse and when she walked away Fate saw why. <br><br>There were three men sitting by the bar and each time the maid passed them to fill or take an order, they made a move. Twice she saw one of them pinch the maid bottom and once the largest of them reached up and touched the mains breast. While the wench was giving him a drink he whispered to her, the poor gals cheeks flamed and she ducked her head. <br>Fate looked around, utterly disgusted but not one person was eager to assist the maid. Fate got her tea and stewed over it by the fire glaring daggers at the table to pigs. Of course the place she picked to dine would have some sort of wrong she'd have to right. Never let another suffer if you could help, something her father had lived by and so did Fate. Once her tea was finished she began gnawing her lips and taping her right foot eyes still blazing at the offenders. When once again the maid walked passed them to refill a drink one of the pigs felt her up Fate stood without meaning to. <br><br>All three men looked over at her and the one touched the maid stood to tower over the frightend lass. "You got something on your mind there, girl?"<br><br>They all laughed as the speaker pulled the maid in close, his hand possessively roaming the young woman's body. "You're not from around her, wench. Best mind yourself, Mitsy here is paid for all our fun now aren't you Mitsy?"<br><br>Fate ground her teeth and felt her nails biting into soft palms in her clenched fists. "Well perhaps that is so, <em>Sir</em>. However, she does not seem to enjoy your attentions and has <em>surely</em> remembered now that she has a choice. Right, Miss Mitsy?"<br><br>Mitsy's lips trembled as if she wouldn't speak for a moment but then she shook her head. "No, no I don' wanna." she turned and ducked away from the offenders shaking her head and backing behind the bar. "Not tonight boys, I just don think I can."<br><br>The maid filled another order and delivered it before greeting her relief. while she escaped the tavern and it's aura of growing hostility Fate and the burly speaker pig had a glare off. Fate won apparently as suddenly he laughed and turned to his mates.<br><br>"Well then boys, looks like the new girl will have to do now that she chased off good 'ol mitsy." <br><br>Fate stepped back when the other two at the table stood and the three of them turned towards her. "Now gentlemen I do not want to get any Enforcers involved here. Walk away."<br><br>They laughed, all three of them and then the shortest fattest one grinned, his teeth a disgusting mess. "We are the Enforcers in this Quarter missy."<br><br>As they advanced Fate backed up skirting around her table but hitting the side of the large fireplace. The largest one reached out and grabbed her arm, his fingers meeting around her wrist. "We're gunna Enforce you real good."<br><br>Fate was trying to remain calm, to focus her energy and release like that psychic woman told her to. The only problem was there was a very dirty man touching her. Fate pulled at her arm raising the other to ward him off when it too was snatched by a second pig. <br>So the lawmen in this city were corrupt, and the noblemen were worried she'd be roaming free. Fate tried releasing her energy slowly, tried really hard but once she opened that damn she couldn't close it. Suddenly she stopped fighting the men holding her making the one beginning to grope for flesh through her damp robes laugh. Just a suddenly there wasn't a single man near her and they lay sprawled in opposite ends of the tavern. Energy whirled around her, pressing against the men and crushing their bodies into walls, floors, counters. Wood cracked, plaster burst and as she tried to pull back and energy came even stronger attacking the random civilians who had been present.

				Kenric was in a good mood.<br><br>He sat in a dark corner of a tavern. It was average as taverns go. The soup was warm, the beer was cold, and there were a few drunken brawls. The last was about as good as any entertainment one was going to find in this section of the city.<br><br>To say Kenric traveled a lot was an understatement. He almost never slept in the same bed twice. In fact it was rare he ever got to sleep in a bed. Sometimes his bed would be a pile of hay in the back of a stable. Other times it might just be a flat spot of ground he cleared away with his own two hands. Once in a great while he actually got to sleep in a bed, and if he was particularly lucky, the bed would be owned by some farmer’s daughter. Sadly, he was not that lucky tonight.<br><br>Kenric thought The Hobnail was an odd name for a tavern, but he didn’t complain. The bed was cheap and the beer surprisingly good, so he was in high spirits. After a while he let his eyes drift around the room. He had a habit of noticing things that seemed out of place. One thing he noticed was a jar of whisky situated among a few bottles of red wine. Common occurrence in a tavern, he though. Something else that caught his eye was that out of all the tables in the room, his was the only circular one. Again, not too uncommon, the owner probably didn’t have the luxury of being able to find tables all the same shape.<br><br>But there was one oddity that he couldn’t help but notice.<br><br>He couldn’t help but notice a particular girl. Across the room there was a girl, not much younger than he. Now there were many girls in this tavern, but most were either serving girls or accompanied by a gentleman. Not many young women come to hang out at a place like this by themselves. This girl also had pointed ears. Kenric knew that meant she had a bit of elf blood in her. But the thing that caught Kenrics eye the most was, well her eyes. Not only were they extraordinarily beautiful, but he knew something about eyes like hers. To his dismay he could not remember what though.<br><br>Oh well. He had his beer and his bed. He wasn’t going to let this dampen his spirits.<br><br>His mind drifted off in day dreams for a bit, but he was brought back to reality by a commotion happening across the room. Three men were harassing the girl with beautiful eyes. Kenric thought of doing something, but he figured some other gentleman would swoop in and save her.<br><br>Then he finally remembered her eyes.<br><br>Suddenly the three men flew across the room and were pinned against the wall. Energy radiated off the girl’s body like heat from a blacksmiths forge. Tables splintered and walls cracked. This girl knew magic.<br><br>Kenric knew if he didn’t stop this, most people in the building would die and the building itself would probably come crashing down. Focusing his mind, he fought back against the girl’s onslaught. She was amazingly powerful but she did not know how to control her power, which meant Kenric could easily subdued her. To be on safe side he went a little farther and knocked her unconscious using his mind.<br><br>Acting quickly, he scooped the girl up and hurried out into the night. After a little searching, he found an inn that wouldn’t ask questions to a man bringing an unconscious girl in for the night. Needless to say it was a very shady inn. He rented a room, laid her in bed, and waited for her to awake.<br>

				Fate did not like to sleep so the entire time she was unconscious was a trial for them both with her constant thrashing. It was as if she fought a dangerous enemy and was losing all the while the stranger would have to control her magic. There was a stillness Fate missed at first but then it spread calming her turbulent mind and restraining her unyielding magic. As her eyes opened and she sat up Fate knew immediately that no harm had befallen her. She was sure something would be..different about her if it had. Whatever had chased away the nightmare of flames and demons left a spicy scent. Like the husk of a storm before the lightning strikes. <br>Her blue eyes took in the dingy room and she almost groaned with the cringe. Very quickly yet still somehow with grace she slid from the bed and could almost feel the creepies crawling on her skin. Feeling very much a young girl again and not liking it one bit she went to storm out of the room. However when she threw open the door and charged it was right into a person. <br><br>Fate was sure at least one of them was going to go down and yet she was suddenly steadies by strong hands. She looked up into a face which had perhaps seen too much for the age of the body she'd run in to. For a moment she stood very close with his hands resting on her heavily clothed shoulders. The man radiated power and she felt as if she was inside the stormy scent which had battled her nightmare. Then she blinked and nearly jumped back as if he'd burned her, managing she slip away back into the room. Fate looked at the man as he moved in and wondered if she'd been kidnapped. <br>Had she killed anyone? It was then that she recalled her last moments of consciousness and Fate couldn't help but sit on the bed for her legs gave out. It had happend again, the dam had come undone and she'd wronged this man somehow. Fate shook her head fighting tears and shrugged her shoulders not knowing what else to do. <br><br>"I do not want to hurt anyone else, so I will not fight you. I am sorry for whatever it is I've done..just please tell me. Did I kill anyone?" her voice got more quiet with each final word ending in a whisper as she looked down at her wrapped hands.

				The damage the girl had done was more then Kenric would have believed if he was not there to see it. After laying her in bed, he quickly returned to the tavern to see the full extent of the damage.<br><br>When he arrived, there was already a large crowd gathering. City officials were there doing what they do best; ordering people around and making a mess of things. Onlookers would ask questions like "What caused this?" and "Was anyone hurt?" Rumors went around saying a witch summoned a demon that tried to tear apart the building. The three men who were the main targets of the girls rage suffered pretty serious injuries. One man was likely to never walk again, while the other two had many broken bones. The building itself was a wreck. Almost every glass bottle, jar, and cup were shattered. The tables closest to where the girl was standing were barely more then splinters. Many of the floor boards were broken, and one wall was almost collapsed.<br><br>Kenric knew if he tried to cause this damage, he would be bed ridden for a week.<br><br>He asked around and found out no one knew what the girl who caused this look like. He was also relived that no one recognized him as the one who carried the girl off after the incident. If word got out that he was present…<br><br>He would rather not think of what that could mean for him.<br><br>Needless to say he was surprised when the girl ran into him when he returned to their room.<br><br>“Did you kill anyone? No you did not.” His tone was serious and his eyes were dark green. "You did happen to seriously injure three men, damage a building to the point where no one can live inside, and make a certain red haired individual very curious about how such a sweet looking girl can cause so much damage.” As he finished what he was saying, he smirked a bit and his eyes lightened in their color. He walked over to the small window and peered outside into the early morning darkness.<br><br>“Where did you learn how to do that, if you don’t mind me asking?”<br>

				Fate sighed relaxing only slightly at the news that she hadn't killed anyone this time. The injuries and building damage was something she'd been through before. When the stranger turned charming she frowned and had to laugh in return. <br><br>"Learn isn't the quite right word. I have no idea how I do..whatever it is that I do." she shrugged and stood up joining him at the window. "I can make butterfly's for children if they need to smile, but only if I really focus. I can heal minor wounds easily..again, if I focus."<br><br>Fate looked up at him her blue eyes bright in the near dark. "If I lose focus I cause more damage than repair as you saw lastnight. I couldn't focus with them..touching me." she shivered and hugged herself, cold despite her dry robes and cloak. "Thank you for not turning me in, the noblemen from one town over found me a few weeks ago..and then told me to come here. I think they knew I'd be a danger to the rest of the world too.."<br><br>She looked sad at the end of her explanation bu blinked the expression away and looked outside once more. "What's your name? You look like you're not from anywhere near here.."

				“I’m not sure where I’m from to be completely honest.” He replied. “I just go where my feet take me. Luckily my feet brought me to The Hobnail last night.” Kenric could not belive his luck. It had been years since he had met someone with much magical ability. Sure, there are people who can lift small objects with their mind, or even heal people just like she mentioned, but someone who could destroy a taproom without so much as lifting a finger was almost unheard of.<br><br>He could tell this girl was uncomfortable with her power. Hell, he was uncomfortable with his power, something he rarely ever used.<br><br>“The names Kenric.” He said with a bow. He needed to learn more about her, but this was no place to discuss magical abilities. “What do you say we go grab a bit to eat and then maybe a walk in the country side? There are many things I wish to talk to you about. By the way, whats your name?” He finished this with his most charming smile, or at least what he though was charming. Being good with magic does not make one good with women, and Kenric hopes for the best.

				The young woman smiled at how excited Kenric was by the prospect of speaking with her. "Well it depends what you define as a name. What people call you or what you've been given."<br><br>Smiling she shrugged and began working her fingers through raven hair, untangling the mess and braiding it out. "The people who took me in called me Fate..because I survived..uhm.." she cleared her throat and tried not to let tears well in her eyes. "My father called me Analia...for the mother I never knew."<br><br>Analia straightend and took a deep breath pulling her cowl back into place, hiding the turbulent emotions running across her face. "I would like to walk very much, Kenric. I don't expect I'll stay in this city long, library or not."

				"Analia, huh? I like it. Fits you well. Fate...not so much." Kenric never liked the term fate. It made him feel like he had no control over his life and he hated not being in control. "Well I'm hungry. Lets get some food. We will talk once we get outside the city gates." <br><br>After buying some dried meet and apples from a stall on the street, he led Analia toward the city walls. He told her some local rumors to pass the time. One involved a well know noble man's daughter being found in a brothel. Another alluded to the fact that a prominent city official was accepting certain "favors" in return for turning a blind eye to criminal activity. "I may not stay in one place long, but where ever I go I always make sure to catch up on my gossip." He smiled, hoping to make Analia feel more at ease.<br><br>Someone may notice that as they walked, Kenric was always eyeing Analia. Most would assume that it was just him trying to sneak glances at an attractive woman. In reality he was sizing her up. She was small and not very opposing, but what he had witnessed last night scared Kenric. Such a small girl held vast power, more then he had ever known anyone else to possess.<br><br>"The gates are close. God I cant wait to be out of this place. I never like being surrounded by walls." He then remembered her ears. He thought it odd that they had slipped his mind. "So your ears," he said with a curious tone, "Are you an elf?"

				Analia was not used to pleasent people outside of her tribe as the ones she'd come into contact with had not been so. Kenric was refreshing and as they talked she found herself smiling more and more. Though she wasn't in the least bit hungry he assure her he was always prepare. Analia didn't doubt that and as they went on his gossip had her laughing. It was a rare sound as of late and deffinitely captured peoples attention. When the city walls came into view she nodded agreeing with him. <br><br>"I know what you mean, Kenric. My village was small and surrounded by wilderness I still don't fully understand the need for walls..although.." she looked down as they waled fiddling with the claps of her cloak. "I..I suppose I should understand. The world is dangerous.."<br><br>His question distracted her and Analia looked up blinking for a moment then she blushed and reached up pulling her cowl forward once more. The action shielded both her ears and her eyes as they walked. "I a half elf. My father was an Elf and he always told me my mother was human. Why do you ask? Is it odd for someone like me to wield magic?" she glanced at him briefly before looking forward once more. "You must be very powerful if you stopped me from killing people, Kenric..the noble guardians I had were not so lucky. Are you a Wizard like in the old story's?"

				"No it's not odd, I just don't get the chance to talk to elves very often." he said with a mouthfull of apple. "They are an interesting people. I will admit though, I have never had the honor to meet a half-elf."<br><br>It wasn't Analia's ability to use magic that supprised Kenric. In fact many of the stronger magic users Kenric knew were elves. What supprised him was her lack of control. Most magic users learned slowly, perfecting their abilities before moving on to stronger and more dangerous ones. The most important part of learning was control. First you learn to walk, then when you have that mastered you learn to run. What Alalia had done last night was the equivilant of a dead sprint uphill in a blizzerd.<br><br>Kenric and Analia made it to the city gate. There was a farmer arguing with guards about how he had a permit to sell his goods in the city as they walked through. "And me a wizard from the old story's!?" Kenric burst out lauphing, "If I was I would be summining demons and throwing balls of fire the size of houses!" <br><br>While the wizards often mentioned in stories were able to do wonderous things, magic in the real world was much more mundane. Healers curing desise and mending wounds was about as much magic as the average person ever withnessed in their entire life. <em>Storybook</em> magic was a very rare occurance. Their were two reasons for this. First, magic was not common. Someone would have to be born with the gift and even then, it took years to learn to use properly. Elves were naturally magical. Thats why most mages were elves. Second, wizards that powerful were dangerous. The average person was ignorant about magic so it was best for the strong wizards to keep themselve a secret rather then be blamed for any wrong doing.<br><br>Kenric then turned toward Analia, "Your could say I know a thing or two." he said with a wry smile and a wink.

				Analia had a laugh of her own when he tried complimenting her mixed blood. "I am afraid 'tis not much of an honor in any culture to be mixed blood. Certainly I am sure my mother had been honored to have been chosen by my pure elf blooded father. The same is not said for the people I was raised by."<br><br>As they walked Analia noted that several birds flitted from tree to tree as if accompanying them. Trying to ignore them she listened to Kenrics exclamation about wizards of old. Analia's magic was destructive and so she had assumed all others were as well. The birds were now more in number and to the brush at Analia's side rodents ran with them She sighed really hoping the deer, bears and other predators stayed away lest they all start killing eachother once her lull wore off. It happend after she expelled magic, he would have noticed back in town people had stared at her until she was no longer in eyesight. If he didn't feel the pull himself or notice the animals now. Even flowers opened wider as she came near ad trees creaked with wanted to lean closer to her. Analia ignored it all as if it were completely normal even though she was becoming more agitated. <br><br>"Well perhaps then if you know a thing or 'two' you know how to dam all this 'magical' energy back up." she said sharply, irritated with herself as a baby owl landed on her shoulder. Blue eyes glimmered with exasperation and she rubbed the bridge of her nose. "I never had any of these problems before the attack, I was as normal as a half elf can be. Then all the sudden.."<br><br>The baby owl started pecking gently into her cowl, snuggling up against her neck. Analia's shoulders fell and she smiled softly shaking her head. "Bam."

				"Aww, how cute!" Kenric replied with a joking tone. "At least I know I'm not the only one drawn toward you!"<br><br>This attraction that caused animals to be drawn to Analia was something Kenric had never seen before. He had noticed how she caught peoples eyes on the street, but he attributed that to her beauty rather then some after effect of magic. He knew what it was like to have things drawn toward him after using magic, but his was caused by something entirly different.<br><br>"I'm sorry to tell you that there is nothing I can do to help rid you of your admirers. Perhaps if you wern't so alluring, you might be left alone."<br><br>Kenric enjoyed flirting with Analia. It had been a long while since he had had this much interaction with any women. His inability to stay in one place for long had always kept him from pursuing any type of realationship. He figured this one would proboly be the same, but it was a beautiful day and he wasn't going to waste what time he had with Analia.<br><br>But no matter how nice the day seemed he could not but help think he was missing something. Analia's ability to attract animals was definitely something he had never experianced, but it seemed familiar to him in some way. He would have to look into this when he had the chance.

				Analia sighed softly. "Well that is a shame. I can get rid of them...but I don't like to..it scares them. I would rather not have any more creatures fear me." <br><br>As they walked and he spoke, flirting ever so slightly, Analia found she enjoyed his company. With how protective her father was she has not had much male attention but the gleam in Kenrics eyes and the tilt to his smile wasn't lost on her. Usually when flirted with or approached Analia was quick to dissuade romance. <br>Yet she didn't really want to with Kenric, in fact she had a feel that if there was any man who could handle her, it was probably the man beside her. Analia gave soft responses, her bright eyes twinkled and when she laughed at something he had said he hand raised a brushed his arm. When she realised she was becoming more and more relaxed with Kenric, Analia took a mental step back. <br><br>As she did so something in her chemistry changed, her guard went back up and her followers were quick to disperse. There was nothing but silence for a while, her friendly smile slipping away. After a short time of this silence she asked a question she hoped he'd answer her. <br><br>"Kenric...do you know why the High Elves were attacked?" she asked softly keeping her eyes on the ground. "I knew there were other attacks on villages and cities before mine was destroyed. It's like something is trying to wipe out the High Elves.."<br><br>Obviously she didn't want to talk about her magic anymore, or his for that matter. It was as if she'd relived a painful memory and now cuddled inside her shell.
