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.439Please respect copyright.PENANA0I9Lz8uIRy
439Please respect copyright.PENANAs1Q0pSpxmU
Marenzo tried to catch his breath, sweat slipping down from his brow as shattered metal rested in the dirt around his middle finger. "...Rings..."439Please respect copyright.PENANA6zO4RuOSo5
439Please respect copyright.PENANAFlXm8P3VZ9
"What about them?"439Please respect copyright.PENANAvo62gBYB5R
439Please respect copyright.PENANAcpyqYmVn1L
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.439Please respect copyright.PENANAhpuX2nCEpM
439Please respect copyright.PENANAKbfTcDmrTA
"Would you stop being an idiot?!" Alura snapped as she moved and caught up to help him stay up.439Please respect copyright.PENANAn0IvyyPOWA
439Please respect copyright.PENANAotjdsxHQA1
"...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.439Please respect copyright.PENANAepenGCwsAS
439Please respect copyright.PENANAb08MEdjSAk
Alura was silent, her gaze narrowed on him as thunder rumbled above. "...Are you even able to use magic without them?" she finally asked.439Please respect copyright.PENANACzr3iWpsy6
439Please respect copyright.PENANAsNj1aVRLGy
Marenzo nodded with a sigh. "Yes, I can but only...only teleporting short distances and mind reading frontal thoughts."439Please respect copyright.PENANAfgpwcslRpN
439Please respect copyright.PENANAdPMbole5rh
"Why didn't you say so when we met?"439Please respect copyright.PENANAUAAxouw9iJ
439Please respect copyright.PENANAeGs0wY3ISE
"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."439Please respect copyright.PENANAEggP4XMvuq
439Please respect copyright.PENANAboSDsDGF05
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.439Please respect copyright.PENANARLPiMbnTmX
439Please respect copyright.PENANAKKEr6YeLz5
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.439Please respect copyright.PENANAw2m3ewHYUq
439Please respect copyright.PENANAljVIyW8CZ8
"We're fine, leave us be." Alura sternly stated without looking at their inquirer.439Please respect copyright.PENANAGEzvZyfCQh
439Please respect copyright.PENANAHrfuaVs1AB
"But you two look like you been through hell and back. Sure you don't need a lift?"439Please respect copyright.PENANAg5opoeQLWa
439Please respect copyright.PENANA4plKgPziwI
"...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."439Please respect copyright.PENANAXb4oT8hsT1
439Please respect copyright.PENANAvrU5l5qDBl
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."439Please respect copyright.PENANAGVRCThxEwB
439Please respect copyright.PENANA6U3HPWBxqh
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."439Please respect copyright.PENANArrwxf9Zq7t
439Please respect copyright.PENANAjya1jyiCy1
"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?"439Please respect copyright.PENANAudiGKxmSUD
439Please respect copyright.PENANA8ryQ78Wwbt
Alura stopped and looked at the cycle. "I don't see a spot for us to sit."439Please respect copyright.PENANAmf5fXRFF5L
439Please respect copyright.PENANAmrffvoeeo6
"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.439Please respect copyright.PENANATjbZyhqX16
439Please respect copyright.PENANA57xEB3fzl9
Alura was silent as she considered this before looking to Marenzo. "How you feel up to that?"439Please respect copyright.PENANAp6dTXxUDQw
439Please respect copyright.PENANA5cvtFITZe2
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.439Please respect copyright.PENANAhIHglbnZqP
439Please respect copyright.PENANAhRlypUyyGR
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."439Please respect copyright.PENANApkhogtaZ31
439Please respect copyright.PENANAC6ZIHSgycT
"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.439Please respect copyright.PENANAwpGKB3C2uh
439Please respect copyright.PENANApRY1SYQfKu
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."439Please respect copyright.PENANA4Fo9vzNHo7
439Please respect copyright.PENANA3sMkXIAiys
"It looks good and so neat." Alura complimented as she stepped around the room to take it in.439Please respect copyright.PENANAcw8PUsfPzC
439Please respect copyright.PENANA8OXYdh7mvf
"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."439Please respect copyright.PENANAtmBcPa2eiA
439Please respect copyright.PENANAEJZVx4AqZQ
"Maybe later after a nap!" Alura called back from the bedroom she found.439Please respect copyright.PENANANHdN3taVOZ
439Please respect copyright.PENANAgciREynuei
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?"439Please respect copyright.PENANAyKSTtfB7LC
439Please respect copyright.PENANAWl187rK7Yn
"Tiering and if you would get an actual job you'd know."439Please respect copyright.PENANASmW8KNQBID
439Please respect copyright.PENANAgMiy32HAj7
"I'm an artist and I spread beauty for money." She stated while striking an elegant pose.439Please respect copyright.PENANAFA32PbTXX5
439Please respect copyright.PENANADejfjNdWfX
He stared at her with a straight eye look. "You paint homes and buildings for commission."439Please respect copyright.PENANA1IhHdyjO75
439Please respect copyright.PENANA9Y4DFmM0oq
She sighed while folding her arms. "Still spreading beauty." She grumbled.439Please respect copyright.PENANAo2hhGn5bXC
439Please respect copyright.PENANAEwj4yLlU9A
"Uh huh," he answered flatly while making his way to the sofa to remove his shoes.439Please respect copyright.PENANAx5LfUiE90S
439Please respect copyright.PENANA0UowaJODoD
"Oh, by the way, we have company."439Please respect copyright.PENANAU2cDsWXvYA
439Please respect copyright.PENANAPY6WwCHCqP
"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?"439Please respect copyright.PENANAm8RuLA2JmZ
439Please respect copyright.PENANAxqC34rwtIo
Cloran rolled her eyes. "Of course not. I know how much you hate that market."439Please respect copyright.PENANAfr5pZ7qBDS
439Please respect copyright.PENANAgaVPRkb54H
"That's good news." He sighed relieved.439Please respect copyright.PENANABmeisASckj
439Please respect copyright.PENANASS45wm2eek
"I found them on the side of the road outside the capital."439Please respect copyright.PENANAk5cXh4cTAD
439Please respect copyright.PENANA8v7pjuD6tl
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."439Please respect copyright.PENANAkY12S1axHU
439Please respect copyright.PENANAbFE0t44POk
"Pfft, of course not Gryble. Tsun wouldn't had been that careless, although I do remember falling off chairs as a child."439Please respect copyright.PENANAkbOCKwD5Q3
439Please respect copyright.PENANAB4zCLQ1AQx
Gryble took a deep breath, lowering his hand and opening his eyes. "Aren't you worried they will kill us in our sleep?"439Please respect copyright.PENANAptq8dSF1QY
439Please respect copyright.PENANAERwcqIzg0A
Cloran shook her head. "No and you need to learn to be more trusting of others."439Please respect copyright.PENANA53mpvxwN3L
439Please respect copyright.PENANALBweSKRTgg
"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."439Please respect copyright.PENANA0gymqwcpSO
439Please respect copyright.PENANAcrpZDWbJV7
"Sounds fair enough. So, what do you want for dinner?"439Please respect copyright.PENANAKEPixoSmhh
439Please respect copyright.PENANAQgE10431oe
"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.439Please respect copyright.PENANA690OiOGtt9
