"Then I will be there to hunt you," The brown haired man said.

Ashiva then felt a harsh pain vibrate from the back of her head. Grabbing the place, her view started to grow fuzzier, and she almost collapsed again, until she heard what happened next.

“We mus’ent do anything rash Kyste,” Ashiva heard the brown haired man say, “She is no harm to us now with her power drain. I’ll tie her up and then we can ask her questions in a more…stable environment. You have any rope?”

Ashiva could not believe this. The more she hear them talk, the more angry she grew.

"Hey, so you two ARE trying to steal my sanctu--"

"Here you go," The man by the name of Kyste told the other as he handed over the rope. "But if you didn't notice already, she is a magic user, and can get out of these with a simple wrist-flick. Hell, im able to make a small explosion by snapping my finger, imagine what this girl could do."

This made Ashiva glance down with disbelief and shame. A summoner is someone who has mastered the elements and could transform them into creatures called summonings. However, Ashiva never reached past mastering healing. She had skipped her lessons and tried summonings, which resulted in most of the failures raiding the village not to far from where she now lived, or did, depending on the men.

"Aside from Yseh, most of my summonings are failures," Ashiva told herself. "That is why...that is why these people will destroy my sanctuary...just like my parents...because I am a failure as a summoner. But I must NOT let these fools know!"

"That is right!" Ashiva announced boldly, her eyes specifically aimed at Kyste. "I only need to blink my eyes and these ropes will be off me! Besides, should the both of you not find your friend, Sandra, I presume, what good would it be tying me up? Do you assume that once I am captured, I will obey you? What if I DO know where she is? What if I do NOT? Will you two take responsibility for your actions? I may not have enough energy to fight the both of you, but I can escape any trick the both of you have."

Ashiva knew her whole statement was false, but she wanted to stall them. Also, with those remarks, they would have no choice but to leave her the way she was. If they knocked Ashiva out again, they would be just as stuck as they were now. She knew edventually, this would rebound back to her, putting her in a tight situation, but for now, she was in thew clear.

((OOC: Where IS Sandra? o.O))

Kytse grinned.
"Ive been lied to thousands of times before, and i can hear you lieing, tis in the voice toneality. Anyway - dont cross the line, im calmed down now and ill leave your precous sanctuary along, but tell me, why exactly did you send hordes of magical summons after us when we were just passing through? Im intruiged, and it better be a bloody good awnser. And where is sandra?"

Ashiva's little trick seemed to backfire. She stared at the ground a bit, before blurting out her answer.

"Alight, I only did it because I thought you were hunting me down, and might destroy this forest," Ashiva glanced around her and stated her conversation up again. "You see, this was not always called the blackwoods. Long ago, before I even came here, it used to be called the Green Fields, with numerous trees, flowers, and vegatables sprouting up everywhere the eye could spot . However, when I used this place as a hiding place, the people from the village not to far from here decided to chase me, and, when they could not find it, they set the fields on fire. Large trees begant to tumble down and I was frightened. Then I found a spot which seemed to not be harmed from the flames. I hid beside it, and soon dozed off. When I arose, everything -- trees, grass, plants -- everything was destroyed...except for the little region I call sanctuary. Now, whenever there are people travelling upon these soils, I use my summonings to test them, which in most cases they fail. You and your group are the only ones that actually faught against my summonings! THere rest just ran away! Deserves them right! If they came from the village, they were probably after my head, just like my par--"

Ashiva interrupted herself, then just shook her head and stuck out her tongue.

"I will not tell you where Sandra is, Kytse, so do not even try to ask again," Ashiva told him, resuming with sticking her tongue out. "Besides, there is no chance that she is alright or not, so just forget about her. I know that is why you were listening so intensively, because you want to find her. Still, I shall not tell you anything! So if I am lying now!"

((OOC: Sooo, we are pretty much at a stage where we cannot continue until JubJub returns 0.0

By the way, Kain, how does your character look (hair and eyes) :\ ))

Kytse sighed, "well, you dont know her whereabouts, but i know for sure she wasnt killed, those two dragons engulfing her in falmes, ive seen her use that spell many times before, it transports her to a random spot in the area, or a certain one if she focuses. By the way, did you know your overly paranoid? oh - and by the way, to make up for the fact you put all our lives in danger and allmost killed me - had it not been for my restoration and sheild magic, your going to help us find her.

Dont say no. Its not a choice."

"Humph, well, if anything, she most certainly is not in the blackwoods anymore," Ashiva replied, trying to forget what he said about her. "How do you think I knew someone was entering the blackwoods in the first place? I can sense people in a small radius--anyone should be able to do that, regardless of if they have magical or physical strength. Anyway, where were you two--three headed in the first place? Sandra is probably there."

Ashiva glanced at them one more time before continuing.

"I have her broom in my san--in the region of the Green Fields that was not vaporized," Ashiva continued, looking away from them now. "You can come with me, if you think I will never return."

((OOC: Short post. Head-ache gaining...))

“’We’ll see if you’re as confident without your staff,” said Vyak as he removed her staff away from her reach.

Vyak thought it over in his head,” would she have really waited to use exploding magic. If she had the power why would she have not used it on them?”
Vyak did not think she would have waited and which is why he thinks she’s bluffing. He was reinsured when Kytse expressed his views on the situation. To take extra precautions after he tied the rope around her hands Vyak also cased a spell. With his hand cupped around his mouth Vyak whispered something, quiet enough no one could understand. Then he laid the same hand on the rope that was tied around girl. No magic lights no cool sounds it just looked like normal hand positions. If he did it at night though where it was pitch black one might seem a dim gold light within his palm, but that was not the case today.

“There that should give the rope a little more strength,” thought Vyak, “If she does have magic that can break ropes (basically it was a protection from magic).”

If Vyak was right and she only had summoning magic the protection would have much effect but if she had more than just that it might be harder to break.

“What’s your name?” said Vyak in a normal tone.

((and lokuri I have no idea why I had a thumbs down!!! I posted and was like what the heck! hahaha))

"My name?" Ashiva repeated as the ropes were tied around her hands. "My name is Ashiva. How about you...and you do know that since I have no choice but to go with you and Kytse, I do not need a reason to break out of these ropes. However, since they are tied, I guess I have no choice but to lead the both of you in my sanctuary--home--well, nevermind, let's just go!"

Ashiva waited for the brown haired male to reply before leading the both of them up the steep hill to the cliff she was standing upon earlier. Once up there, the same flourishing of plants, vegatables, trees, etc. that Ashiva described earlier were present. Once she made it to her favorite resting and relaxation spot by a huge tree she had, Ashiva found the magical broom instrument that fell from the sky.

"Here," Ashiva announced, nodding her head towards it for one of them to pick it up. "I assume this belongs to Sandra. If you two--we meet up to her again, one of you can give it to her. If I promise to not use my summonings so reckless as I did before, will you give me back my Nature Rod? I'll admit it! I fail at basic magic and I skipped straight to summoning! I only mastered healing...and I am a failure as a summoner! In fact, Yseh was my first and only summoning that was not a failure! But, you know, to be summoning at a young age and almost having my first real summoning is an honor. The rest were just failures, but from now on, I will try to summon only the best! And not everyone has to know basic magic to become a summoner! Most of my peers do not even know what magic is, and those who know cannot even summon a failed summon."

Looking at the two, she could tell they had already figured most of what she had to say already. Ashiva just let out a sigh and continued, this time, without the snobbish boasting.

"Plus, having a summoner as an ally cannot be so terrible, right, even a young, naive one?" Ashiva asked, gazing at the ground and speaking calm and quitly. "And if I grow stronger and face the trials of a true summoner, I will not produce so many failed summonings. If I really try and concentrate, like I did when I summoned Yseh, then, perhaps, I can assist the both of you...even Sandra. I can also be your healer. Well, that still does not make up for what I did, but...I will help you two look for Sandra.

"But that does not mean the both of you can use me as you please!" Ashiva added, tilting her head up slightly to look directly at the two. "I will do as I please, and only help because of the damaged I did. It is sort of like retribution--I swear upon this oath that I, Ashiva, shall be used as an aid to the search for Sandra for the injuries of Kyste and Vsak, two allies of the missing girl whom we, together, shall journey to find. There. It was not official, but sealed in words. I also assume I am bound by these ropes aswell?"

((OOC: Black6, I assume that by the time Ashiva uses your character's name, he will have already introduced himself.))

Kytse smiled, he was taking a likeing to the gril, even though she allmost killed him - she just thought him a threat to her "sanctuary", and to be honest, such a peacefull patch of land in a place like this should be well-kept.

"Im Kytse by the way, Vaytse son." Kytse stated, Vaytse was prettymuch famous through the whole of the world - he had defeated Sho'va and died fro ma tragic illness after.

Kytse knew better, "Im going to continue on what my father and my fathers father did. Right now were heading to the temple of darkness, then its to the light, water and fire temples to gain gods hand."

Though this may have seemed rediculous there was no sign of lying in his voice, his heartbeat didnt rise, his voice didnt have pauses nor become stuttery, nor change tones.

His confidence made it clear that he was not lying or belived he was telling the truth.

"By the way, you live a rather secluded - and from what ive seen, un-happy life here..." Kytse began, "And your magic powress is obviously high, would you like come on our quest?"

((OOC: Sho'von? I thought it was Sho'va >.< ))

"Vaytse?" Ashiva repeated, before realizing who he was. "Ah, the tale of Sho'va and unbreakable cycle. Vaytse went after a half bull, half wolf creature, defeating it, but soon after, died. Many say it was a life for a life. So, you are going to try to follow the same path and reach another calm?"

Ashiva thought this over while Kyste continued to talk.

"Alright, I have no other choice anyway," Ashiva finally answered. "And Sandra may be at the temple of darkness. Also, as a summoner, praying at temples may boast my spiritual powers and allow me to summon loyal summonings who will fight alongside me in battle and continue to journey with me even after their deaths."

Then Ashiva remembered that her hands were still tied, and she blushed.

"But, you aren't going to take me to a temple with me chained like this, right?" Ashiva questioned, this time looking at Vyak. "If I go to a temple like this, they may think I am an unholy girl being punished! And to make it worse, Kyste is the son of a legend! No one knew my identity before now, not even the village I came from, because they probably barely remember what I looked like! My days as a summoner would be ruined--but I was doing a holy cause! Protecting this sanctuary from intruders, the only part of the once numerous fields still in existance that did not suffer from the blackwoods. Please do not take me in this condition. I know attacking both of you was wrong..."

Ashiva stopped and looked down at a blooming flower, allowing her short black hair to waver in a breeze.

((OOC: You know how terrible it would be to go to a temple with a chained girl xD?))
