--- Adventure 1 ---

"Thanks ...we needed that" said Angy , smiling.

" Well , he doesn't seem to be fractious at all. He's a male , after all . We girls are a little bit more... sensitive , if I may say it that way" . She threw her a wink.

"I'm not interested in crossing species just yet... though... I believe that dark aura around him is not for his personality. It rather the magic art he's wielding. It's an sublte death scent around him".

She gazed at him. Indeed , there was something strange , different about him. She felt it from the beginning , when she saw him in the inn. She could feel the death scent around him too. For a moment , pity filled her heart.....

" Yes , I can see what you mean. "

Rissa was a strange caracter too. Mystery was surrounding her.

*I have to know her* thought the girl .

"I've always wandered what a... a..." The name was escaping her. "Whatever like him is doing here. Could he want even more power than he already has? Or his purposes are... more subtle?"

Rissa wasn't sure rather Angy enjoyed her or was begining to be... intriguing. The proposal of Ias was somewhat disturbing. "He's onto something unnatural. Everybody's stoned up there".

*Let's get things moving around here*

" How come you joined us? "

Angy knew that she was a little bit too curious this time , but as she always told to herself , she has nothing to loose.

"I could ask the same think... henceforth..."

Rissa sniffed.

"Lost places always fascinated me. Ever since I left my pack for the school. Not to mention some lost ecords I had found about *pyromancers*. Maybe if I can impress them, they'll have me as queen. There... that's my little dark secret."

Rissa finished rather dreamy than brute. *Do I want to much in being a queen?* she though for a second.

"I've never seen their race, however. So strange, isn't it?"

* Odd... but this is her reason...*

"Interesting. Well.... I told you already , I don't have anything else left in this world , only my love for adventures. This was the perfect ocasion ."

"Maybe you will see them soon ...maybe.... "

She remained silent for a second then said :

" Do you have a family?"

"Not anymore... I lived with my pack and though I barely remember my parents, Phenyang is the one that made father, brother, teacher, playmate... ever since I was bitten by one of it's pack of werewolves. But now I left all that behind. I need to find a place for myself. I need to"

" I understand ... I understand you perfectly...."

Their situations were alike. The difference is that Rissa had a friend. She , Angy , never had one.

"What are they doing?"

This question remained yet withouth an answer.
