Alura landed hard on top of Marenzo, panting and forced herself to stand. "Tell me now what the hell's going on and why you did that!" she snapped.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0euopBE2V
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9TIcM13Ks
        Marenzo tried to catch his breath, sweat slipping down from his brow as shattered metal rested in the dirt around his middle finger. "...Rings..."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdx7yBFr10
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwGVDbzDaB
        "What about them?"953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktSVWPf8vy
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o6j2VE8Cq
        Marenzo gulped and grunted as he started forcing himself to sit up. "...I tried...to explain..." he groaned and paused after lifting his upper body off the cold dirt. "...I use them..." his barely open eyes shifted his blurry gaze to one of his hands. "...I use them to...show off and..." he took a breath before exhaling, "...to look stronger...than I really am..." he tiredly explained before groaning while shifting his body around to get to his knees. "It...let's me be...what my brother...and mother already-gah!" he tried to push up to stand but his right leg gave out, causing him to return to the dirt.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDle80mDRw1
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBY7kWKopd
        "Would you stop being an idiot?!" Alura snapped as she moved and caught up to help him stay up.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsiAu0d6k0
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo1bNvXrcZ
        "...I wanted to be as good as them. So...I used an easy way to do it...and I rely on it." He sadly admitted while avoiding meeting her eyes.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYxneb9gJA
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PQohHtOPD
        Alura was silent, her gaze narrowed on him as thunder rumbled above. "...Are you even able to use magic without them?" she finally asked.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLOQmyeowH
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xCDCYl9cL
        Marenzo nodded with a sigh. "Yes, I can but only...only teleporting short distances and mind reading frontal thoughts."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRQXESrf8r
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKhg7LNiW6
        "Why didn't you say so when we met?"953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6BWXb4GMQ
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngBI70YvzM
        "Would you had trusted a guy who saved you and said..." he moved to try standing again but this time he shifted so his weight would be supported by Alura. "That he could only help you because of him having enchanted rings?" Alura opened her mouth to reply but closed it as she gave that more thought. "That's what I thought and why I didn't tell you."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLFMlbB1Sa
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLDoSWkfXh
        Alura shook her head. "Anyways, we should find shelter for the night before we find someway of getting out of here." She looked back to see the city lights and forward down the road to see not much. Best the darkened path than the lit one. She thought and began to slowly head away from the city with Marenzo being almost all dead weight.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2F79SPM4v
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeLlWt8w1n
        They didn't get far down the road before an engine slowed down as a single wheeled vehicle looking cycle came up beside them. "Hey, you two okay?" the woman asked.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCwWiwLRA5
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeUcj4DaoY
        "We're fine, leave us be." Alura sternly stated without looking at their inquirer.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaCJHaH9so
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcIfU1QNn0
        "But you two look like you been through hell and back. Sure you don't need a lift?"953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX7P1z6vCf
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrinyon0O3Y
        "...I don't even know where we're going so we can't ask you to take us anywhere...unless you can take us off this land."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6owqf8GF8
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtAcKtLxT5
        The woman thought before removing her helmet. "Well I can't do that but I can offer you a place to rest in my studio." She sniffed the air as her cycle stayed steady in its slow rolling motion. "And judging by your smells, you won't last long out here once night falls without shelter."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwemd7ExqtY
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDysbVw76iL
        Marenzo looked to the woman, noticing scales dotting around her facial features and her slit eyes. "We might want to take her offer. Better than being mauled by wild demons."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIpED4eSvH
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8NvAzfcL8
        "If anyone has been to school they already know that wild demons aren't uncommon here. We're kinda known for our demons outnumbering humans." She laughed lightly with a toothy grin. "How about it?"953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN9Cc6ZdYu
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB2jvrRoe6
        Alura stopped and looked at the cycle. "I don't see a spot for us to sit."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8JvPqibAs
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKFXYPrnBW
        "If your friend can change shape or both your shapes then you can ride in my basket." She pointed back to a tall basket with a few grocery bags inside it.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAz8quiQQi
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqDBgmZzLM
        Alura was silent as she considered this before looking to Marenzo. "How you feel up to that?"953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcHRHjUAUI
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vsboWLPrp
        Marenzo took a deep breath and sighed, reaching into his pocket and pulled out another ring. "...I'm going to need a very good nap after all this." He muttered and held it closed securely in his hand. His eyes closed and the ring began to glow. Shortly after so did he and Alura. The woman stared with an impressed look as there stood, once the light faded, a little girl holding an orange and silver kitten.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LCJXctABs
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ39YoDTQ5m
        Alura looked down and gave a small noise of startlement at seeing her age had been reduced. "...you're...fine. Grab...my bag and...get in there..." Marenzo horsely whispered with his eyes just barely staying open as his body was limp in her arms. "The spell will...only last maybe...an hour."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcoOxvP9bU
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWL0lUUiWM
        "Okay, sorry about this." Alura said in her eight year old voice. She picked up the bag, making sure no rings fell out and got into the basket. "Ready!" she confirmed and the woman nodded. She took the controls and they sped off.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomq6kUjXSW
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWyEn5nVkl
They would arrive in a quiet town and be lead up a couple sets of stairs. The door was opened and they were allowed into an apartment that looked to had been a former dance studio. "Welcome to my abode." She greeted warmly as they entered and she set the groceries down on the table. "I've put a lot in to fix it up."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefQVVUQttq
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsdYKtfo2E
        "It looks good and so neat." Alura complimented as she stepped around the room to take it in.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKFG5L9bHX
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dpuYEyUmQ
        "Thanks!" she began to put away the food as Alura wandered towards some back rooms. "If you want any food, I'll fix you something."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAV9uQc3eD
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvzeN3kARj
        "Maybe later after a nap!" Alura called back from the bedroom she found.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JssYMK4Vf
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH4mv1L3WF
Out in the main room, the door opened and a middle aged man entered, stretching and yawned. "Welcome home." She greeted in her cheerful tone. "How was work?"953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpIDVgBTul
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4PhCjIoqI
        "Tiering and if you would get an actual job you'd know."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3TWIjB4iZ
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE1yN6n3oa
        "I'm an artist and I spread beauty for money." She stated while striking an elegant pose.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9vI8KgHnR
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUulh6SOgdJ
        He stared at her with a straight eye look. "You paint homes and buildings for commission."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx32ocZ4xBp
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh8dAuJRR6
        She sighed while folding her arms. "Still spreading beauty." She grumbled.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJDKNiSDfc
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyhYKHWi09
        "Uh huh," he answered flatly while making his way to the sofa to remove his shoes.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0StXY766x
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCZ8pdRSCt
        "Oh, by the way, we have company."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6nQWqRGxH
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdbFmoiy99
        "We do?" she nodded as he stood to go look. Soon he returned and made his way over to her. "Cloran...can you explain to me why there are two disheveled people in my bed? Did you give money to the slave market?"953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUjzEGP3ZA
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS7OMI3kLb
        Cloran rolled her eyes. "Of course not. I know how much you hate that market."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKztZopUFE
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56O3wlQmHu
        "That's good news." He sighed relieved.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xyIj1IGMq
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOAWR2ifej
        "I found them on the side of the road outside the capital."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9TXkRleBk
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUi25YSAYx
        He pinched the bridge of his nose while closing his eyes. "Never mind, I take back my relief. Please tell me you were dropped as a little one."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTaxkL8T9t
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10SuQMMiGJ
        "Pfft, of course not Gryble. Tsun wouldn't had been that careless, although I do remember falling off chairs as a child."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2g8cm31Iu
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmwSy7kcMv
        Gryble took a deep breath, lowering his hand and opening his eyes. "Aren't you worried they will kill us in our sleep?"953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq3kY7OR6R
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAxh1nTPFt
        Cloran shook her head. "No and you need to learn to be more trusting of others."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eZ54CVX6m
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDAbs1tqqC
        "And you need to learn to be more cautious." Gryble stated before rubbing the back of his neck. "They can stay but if they try to kill us, I'll kill them."953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS3PuUgdVB
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r9HVOJhuR
        "Sounds fair enough. So, what do you want for dinner?"953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtL4jZq5gq
953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f7TpaJtdI
        "Just my usual sis, you know that." He walked over and relaxed on the sofa, turning the news on with the volume low as she got to making dinner, his eyes starting to droop shut into a light doze.953Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAsyzJldwK
