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.459Please respect copyright.PENANABxbwqWmj6n
459Please respect copyright.PENANAPj3WT2UFhh
Marenzo tried to catch his breath, sweat slipping down from his brow as shattered metal rested in the dirt around his middle finger. "...Rings..."459Please respect copyright.PENANADIDDzCyZWi
459Please respect copyright.PENANA3fwjj8t7QR
"What about them?"459Please respect copyright.PENANAwVR1YGyzM6
459Please respect copyright.PENANAu1zlQPm9va
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.459Please respect copyright.PENANAlevzhXpauL
459Please respect copyright.PENANApMuHjjG2U3
"Would you stop being an idiot?!" Alura snapped as she moved and caught up to help him stay up.459Please respect copyright.PENANABR6sfQF5lc
459Please respect copyright.PENANA9dDFfVU9XV
"...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.459Please respect copyright.PENANAx5DQm5ISmi
459Please respect copyright.PENANAKqqkBLWbFM
Alura was silent, her gaze narrowed on him as thunder rumbled above. "...Are you even able to use magic without them?" she finally asked.459Please respect copyright.PENANA7GGAlmn0mb
459Please respect copyright.PENANA65foMCWUf3
Marenzo nodded with a sigh. "Yes, I can but only...only teleporting short distances and mind reading frontal thoughts."459Please respect copyright.PENANALGBh9sXMP1
459Please respect copyright.PENANAY9H5tYFQLJ
"Why didn't you say so when we met?"459Please respect copyright.PENANAtgWTV7EeVz
459Please respect copyright.PENANA6gSpNhnjht
"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."459Please respect copyright.PENANARvAKxQxByz
459Please respect copyright.PENANAOLvv3VuPUu
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.459Please respect copyright.PENANAphQdB0Ryk1
459Please respect copyright.PENANACR2vE04Ie4
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.459Please respect copyright.PENANA1bjzjJZiBs
459Please respect copyright.PENANA1fTjemCG6L
"We're fine, leave us be." Alura sternly stated without looking at their inquirer.459Please respect copyright.PENANAbxcaqS76Oe
459Please respect copyright.PENANAnC94f4EWVb
"But you two look like you been through hell and back. Sure you don't need a lift?"459Please respect copyright.PENANAGctDID19vl
459Please respect copyright.PENANAwoQ2Pfxmj4
"...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."459Please respect copyright.PENANAsCtiaWAnzi
459Please respect copyright.PENANA1Gj8IyKkZQ
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."459Please respect copyright.PENANAPcNMFFxcF0
459Please respect copyright.PENANAzJVYKzGI01
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."459Please respect copyright.PENANAvX4lK9OiLs
459Please respect copyright.PENANAZR96vGXjig
"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?"459Please respect copyright.PENANABP5TTQVVym
459Please respect copyright.PENANA7SagnOZMlh
Alura stopped and looked at the cycle. "I don't see a spot for us to sit."459Please respect copyright.PENANA1taeUDZkpX
459Please respect copyright.PENANAFl6T79B3zV
"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.459Please respect copyright.PENANAzbGkYtGUPU
459Please respect copyright.PENANAD5jZhOy228
Alura was silent as she considered this before looking to Marenzo. "How you feel up to that?"459Please respect copyright.PENANAGlMRXGD7ge
459Please respect copyright.PENANANTXAspIhnR
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.459Please respect copyright.PENANAHcEaFScDwV
459Please respect copyright.PENANA8CTOTluRyg
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."459Please respect copyright.PENANAHhYw4eG3GR
459Please respect copyright.PENANAIjYkWZzyLp
"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.459Please respect copyright.PENANAwWo43uSJpC
459Please respect copyright.PENANAFcPa4orHoP
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."459Please respect copyright.PENANAB2VxfKtGs2
459Please respect copyright.PENANATXrdHn0lTX
"It looks good and so neat." Alura complimented as she stepped around the room to take it in.459Please respect copyright.PENANArOz6GIWMiY
459Please respect copyright.PENANA8opvD7oPOS
"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."459Please respect copyright.PENANAK0NyeCMZ3R
459Please respect copyright.PENANAgmrCPMaQJ2
"Maybe later after a nap!" Alura called back from the bedroom she found.459Please respect copyright.PENANAKNPEG0jNyv
459Please respect copyright.PENANAOup9jQmNbk
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?"459Please respect copyright.PENANA9d1ZwtkqKa
459Please respect copyright.PENANAkzArDngZa2
"Tiering and if you would get an actual job you'd know."459Please respect copyright.PENANAtUcT1sPOTC
459Please respect copyright.PENANAd4qrYVo3GX
"I'm an artist and I spread beauty for money." She stated while striking an elegant pose.459Please respect copyright.PENANA0q1VfDE3qK
459Please respect copyright.PENANAaFnL2vCxQg
He stared at her with a straight eye look. "You paint homes and buildings for commission."459Please respect copyright.PENANAO5WcJq2vT7
459Please respect copyright.PENANAZARVpSX2q7
She sighed while folding her arms. "Still spreading beauty." She grumbled.459Please respect copyright.PENANA9R7VwK9kVR
459Please respect copyright.PENANAkklZjAG9Ru
"Uh huh," he answered flatly while making his way to the sofa to remove his shoes.459Please respect copyright.PENANAXxfCgULf1M
459Please respect copyright.PENANAOKIVxaf6fr
"Oh, by the way, we have company."459Please respect copyright.PENANA2QMQTq3SYY
459Please respect copyright.PENANARe2R80es8m
"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?"459Please respect copyright.PENANA6DcFxwCNuI
459Please respect copyright.PENANATXCmJRlCaw
Cloran rolled her eyes. "Of course not. I know how much you hate that market."459Please respect copyright.PENANA2QWup3ixGw
459Please respect copyright.PENANAMCG34RWWBz
"That's good news." He sighed relieved.459Please respect copyright.PENANAbOZa1tnXV3
459Please respect copyright.PENANA4SCflGSXRD
"I found them on the side of the road outside the capital."459Please respect copyright.PENANAapujPojbIT
459Please respect copyright.PENANATHUioKXSiP
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."459Please respect copyright.PENANAAopw9dXZCK
459Please respect copyright.PENANAjm9na947A3
"Pfft, of course not Gryble. Tsun wouldn't had been that careless, although I do remember falling off chairs as a child."459Please respect copyright.PENANAQOfrLdyjs8
459Please respect copyright.PENANAw2TenYXmoK
Gryble took a deep breath, lowering his hand and opening his eyes. "Aren't you worried they will kill us in our sleep?"459Please respect copyright.PENANAAepGwjE6Ym
459Please respect copyright.PENANAHmekpu93Nm
Cloran shook her head. "No and you need to learn to be more trusting of others."459Please respect copyright.PENANABoylzpi7Ee
459Please respect copyright.PENANAWMF0KwdmwS
"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."459Please respect copyright.PENANAlxbcKlSKtl
459Please respect copyright.PENANAyEDar830IQ
"Sounds fair enough. So, what do you want for dinner?"459Please respect copyright.PENANAOw1t034jUm
459Please respect copyright.PENANAIfEmiGvRno
"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.459Please respect copyright.PENANAIsQm6m8p6b
