Last to leave.

[keri]

I will see the Presedetal palace one day, sighing, Ilia forced the thought from her head as she closed the large black leather-bound book and placed it back on the shelf. Plus Master Kinder would be angry if he caught her reading instead of working again. Sighing again, she picked up the broom and backed out the the large library.

Ilia was a maid for Master Kinder, the richest and most powerful mage in Allora Village. Though he was a tough employer, Ilia loved the job because it gave her the chance to get her hands on many of the Master's magic books. She was going to be a mage even if she had to teach herself everything she needed to know.

She shut the wooden door behind her and hurried back down the hallway toward the main kitchens. Hopefully, Kaira, mistress keeper of the house, had not noticed that she had been missing for too long.

[Forell]

Forell sat down on the fountain in the centre of the village.

Forell: Ahhh this is nice....Getting away from things for a while.... Being A mercenary can really take its toll on you sometimes.

He said to himself

Forell:This town was so peaceful and full of kind people..there is no violence here its great

[keri]

As soon as she had entered the kitchens, the Head Cook shoved a bucket into her hands, "Get out to that well and get some water, and do not waste time." Ilia bowed her head and took the bucket and hurried out the door and into the village. I am going to have to be very careful, I do not want to be caught again with a book. I could be fired or acused stealing, she sighed, "I will just have to be more careful.

[Forell]

Forell decided to rest his head and lay down on the wide side of the fountain...He was suddenly disturbed when he heard a young lady approaching rather quickly. he looked at her as she approached.

[keri]

Ilia did not notice the man sitting be the foutain until she was right in front of him, "Umm.. Sorry." She biwed slightly and moved around him. Dipping the bucket in the water, she tugged it out with some difficulty.

[Forell]

he quickly stood up...

Forell: Oh im sorry....Erm...Do you need any help with that miss. you look like you could use a hand.

He took the bucket politly and easily lifted it out of the water.

Forell: There you go.

He smiled at her as he handed her the bucket.

[keri]

She took the bucket carefully and gave him a breif, distracted smile. "Thanks," she said and turned back toward the manor, "Um.. Well I must get back or the Head Cook will have my tail."

[Forell]

He smiled back and said

Forell: Well if you need any help with him or anything you know where i am.

punched his hand signalling an as kicking and winked at her.

Forell: ill be right here if you need me.

And he sat back down on the fountain

[keri]

Ilia looked at him then smiled tightly, "Thank you, but I can handle him on my own." She sighed mentally, You mean you could if you knew any magic, but you don't so.. She shook her head slightly to drive away that voice of reason.

[Forell]

Forell stood on the side of the fountain and thought to himself, he never actually heard of this place before. strangely enough it wasn't many maps well at least not recently.

That young Lady...She seemed nice i sense potential in her she will become very strong, my sense's are very accurate recently...must be all my experience.

he gazed up at the sky. it was turning night.

[keri]

Ilia nearly ran back to the manor, while trying not to spill all the water. When she came back into the kitchen, the Head Cook frowned at her, "What took you so long? Wait, never mind; I do not wish to here. Well Master Kinder wishes to speak to you." Ilia blanched and bowed slightly before leaving the kitchens to head to Master Kinder's private study. As she entered, Ilia could tell be the look on his face that he was angry; he looked up at her with cold black eyes, "Ilia, you were in the library again, reading. I thought I forbade you from doing any such thing." Ilia bowed, "Yes, Lord Kinder, you did." He scowled at her, "Then what possessed you to defy me? Ilia, I warned you last time." The angry in his voice almost made her flinch away, but she stood her ground.

"I told you not to fool with my books, you openly defied me," as he said this a solid oak paper weight lifted from the desk and flew at her. Instead of ducking, she replelled it with something she had read in one of Kinder's spell books. "AND YOU DARE LEARN MAGIC BEHIND MY BACK! I am Master here, but you have defied me for the last time. Ilia leave this manor now or forefiet your life." Ilia glared at him, "Fine then Kinder, but when I am a powerful mage, I will come back, and you will rue the day you became my enemy."

With that she stromed from the room. Running to her own rooms, she pulled out a large leather bg and shoved her things into it. But before leaving the manor, she went into Kinder's library and shoved every book on magic she could get her hands on into her bag. After she was finished, she fled from the manor.

[Forell]

stared over at the manor as some one slammed the door.

Forell:Whoa whoa, what happened

he approached her as she she steamed off in a bad mood

[keri]

Ilia looked at the man, "Oh nothing! That man! Arg!" She stopped dead in her tracks and took a very deep breath forcing her anger out of her mind and making her face inpassive. "I am sorry. I have just been let go." Though she smirked at the thought of all the books now in her bag, "Though Kinder will regret his ill treatment of me," he fists clenched, "He will."

[Forell]

Hmmm i wonder.

Forell:well im about to leave the village if you would like to come with. You appear to have immense magical ability, which could come in handy. so what do you say.

[keri]

Ilia glanced at him then back at the manor; a thought occured to her, What happens when he realizes I've stolen a few of his books? She looked back at the man, "Yes, I will come with. Though I think we should hurry." She glanced back over her shoulder.

[Forell]

Forell:that would be a good idea he shall come racing out after you any minute....we will go to the next town right now.
