The guards were unsure of what had just happened.
"You never saw anything Edd"
"What?"
"If anything happens we didnt let them in."
The guards quickly ran off.
Kyana was amused by this and followed Hotsuma and the others into the open market square just within the walls.

Hotsuma didnt really want to be here but he thought he would stick around and look for some weapon shops...
"Hmm, Ill have that please...and heres the money..."
Hotsuma throws some of the food towards the guards and replies...
"Think yourself luck i didnt have to force my way in..."
Hotsuma walks to the nearest step and starts to eat some food...
"So Kyana...what we doing here again?"

Kyana turned to Hotsuma.
"To be perfectly honest I have no Idea Katrea said we should come here. I dont like it its too quiet here."
Kyana leaned on the wall alongside hotsuma and surveyed the area once more.

Hotsuma was impressed with Kyana's observation and agreed with him... "You know Kyana, you are very wise in the battle field...I am quiet amazed...but then again this is only a castle..." Hotsuma decided to get up after eating some food and went to the nearest weapon shop...

Kyana pondered Hotsuma's words for a moment.
"I only fight because I must. Defense is the best offence. To be victorious one must be constantly aware of surroundings."
Kyana sat against a barrel that was at the end of an alley next to the weapon shop
"I'll be here when you return."
Kyana quickly pulled out a bag of small tiles and began to scribe symbols into them with her jitte.
Slowly she carved the symbol for gravity, followed by a flame symbol combined over the sighn for wall, The next was the symbol of a gryffon. Then she carved several small fire tiles.

Hotsuma walks in looking at all the weapons around him. He takes special notice of the swrods yet doesn't seem interested in there selection...
"So i see you have a weak collection but Im wondering what you have in the back?"
The shop keep looks at him and says...
"I knew this day would come? do you not remember me?..."
"You knew i was coming but do you know what im coming for..."
Suddenly the shop keeper pulls out this sword from the back of the shop...
"This came from some person that was in here a few days ago, but he didn't take his payment..."
Hotsuma walks out with two swords on his belt...
"Imight have to learn how to use two swords... You ok there Kyana?"

Kyana turned and stood up.
"Yes everything is fine"
Noting the swords on Hotsuma's belt. She eyed them from end to end. She had made a habit of keeping everyone in her partys equipment in mind.
"You said you wanted to know of magic the other day well I have something for you."
Kyana Hands the tiles she had inscribed to Hotsuma. All in all there were 3 tiles with different symbols and about 7 with the fire symbol emblazoned.
"These will show you some magic. Use them sparingly their life is limited. These tiles can be crushed and they will release magical energies into you which can then be channelled. This is all I can provide as I do not have the ability to imbue with magical potential only the Great Summons can do that if you were not born with the gift."
Kyana pointed to one of the tiles.
"This is a fire wall tile use it and you can project a wall of fire across an area for a short amount of time. This one will add a small gravity well to wherever you channel it. There is only enough energy to channel a single small well use it wisely. It is this one you must use carefully. This one her can create a Gryyfon scout which can then survey the area for you and the others are fire spells they can either be used as projectiles or to imbue weapons. I suggest you try it out with one of those channelling is kind of tricky at first. You will be able to feel the energy within but you must learn to concentrate on one point and to push this energy to that point releasing its effect. In time you may then learn to craft the magic in new ways."

Hotsuma took the tiles and felt good to know that someone was helping him out. this is the first time he had someone with him...
"Ah yes, I remember asking about this...thanks..."
Hotsuma takes the tiles and tries what Kyana advised...
Hotsuma sits and tries to channel the engery needed to cast the small spells...
"Kyana this may take some time...do you want to go find the others?"
Hotsuma takes the tiles and back flips up to the nearest roof top...

Kyana called up to Hotsuma
"Remember if you can't get it ya can always come find me. But I'm sure you'll get it."
Kyana slowly walked off in search of Jaesae and Katrea. Kyana had not seen them since she arrived.

Katrea ran down the cobbled streets pushing a few towns folk out of his way, who shook there fists in anger at the boy.
"Where are you going kupo?"
Mog ko said as they both got deeper in the city
Katrea stopped in front of an inn, a bit out of breath. As he looked on at the green wooden sign, passers by gave him odd looks. Katrea tried to read the sign, but the words were meaningless shapes to him.
"Mog ko … tell me dose it say, the gold bell bar on that sign?"
"Yes kupo. That way"
Mog ko pointed down a shadowy ally, but you could see the bar though the buildings and Katrea ran as his hate lead him.
"W..wait kupo!"
Mog ko quickly followed.

Katrea walked into the bar, it was a dimly lit place with wooden floors and tables and chair arranged around the room. Mog ko peeked in from the doorway, as he didn’t like the look of this place. As Katrea walked up to the bar he saw a shelf full of dusty bottles and bits and pieces, with a mirror behind. An old record player was playing a dreary tune, which made the mood very depressing.
"Bar keep do you know of a man by the name of Gor Michel, he was or still is a knight of Ixion?"
"Oh your in luck boy, his in here all the time. There he is, getting drunk out of his wits again".
Katrea looked over to see a old man about in his 60s with a black and white rough beard and stained raggedy cloths. the sight of this man made Katrea sick to his bones.

Katrea sat down next to the old drunk man
"whats with that guy changing the music."
looking at katrea the man says
"Who the hell are you boy (hick)"
with a smile hiding Katrea’s anger he said
"I want to tell you a story"
"About what (hick)"
"A boy. There was a boy that had a loving family. One day the boy was out playing when he got hurt, he got hurt bad. But that’s what boys do. If only it wasn’t a dragon that hurt him."
The man spat out his drink and looked at Katrea
"who are you"
"The boy’s loving family gave him away for money, they thought he was a defected child."
"What’s you name"
Katrea stood up and grabbed the old man by his collar. Katrea looked deep into the man’s eyes. Katrea’s penetrating yellow eyes met with the man’s. It scared the old man to death.
"My name is Katrea."
