The man strolled down the dimly lit corridors of the Temple. It had been amazingly easy to slip inside, almost too easy. He glanced behind him, but saw no one. No one would be up this late at night. But hopefully, the man he searched for might.

The man, cloaked in gray robes, a hood pulled low over his face, rounded the corner and stopped in front of the first guard he'd seen so far. He cursed under his breath. He should've been more careful.

"What do you want?" te guard rumbled. His hand slid to the hilt of his sword.

"I need to speak with the head priest." came a soft voice from within the hood.

"Why? He's sleeping." the guard said. He gripped the mans arm and prepared to drag him back to the entrance.

"It's urgent, top secret." the man said haistly.

"Humpf. You'll just have to ait until morning then, i guess." the guard said. He clearly didnt believe a word the man was saying.

"No, i must see him now." the man said, trying to break the guards grasp. It was a useless attempt.

The cloaked man sighed and laid his hand on the guards arm. He muttered a word under his breath and the guard went rigid. The man pried the guards fingers off his arm and proceeded down the hallway. The guard would be stuck like that for about an half an hour. Just enough time to do what must be done.

The guard watched th man walk down towards the door to the sleeping chambers of the high preist. He was almost powerless to stop him. Almost...

The man entered the sleeping chambers and shut the door softly behind him. He glanced around and opened another door to the right and entered the high priests bedroom.

The guard watched the door close and then he waited a moment before he humself muttered a word. He was freed instantly. He had not thoughtit would work, but luckily, it had. He raced for the door and opened it, only to see the door to the high priests bedroom close softly. The guard cursed.

The cloaked man entered the bedroom as silently as a shadow and cmae around the side of the bed. He lay a hand over the priests mouth and instantly the priest was awake.

"Hush. I'm not here to hurt you. I was sent by Irhul. You know that name, dont you?"

The head priest nodded, his eyes wide.

The man nodded. "I will remove my hand, but you must not yell for help. I will not harm you. I am unarmed."

The priest nodded to show he understood.

"Good." the man said removing his hand. The priest sat up...

...and the guard opened the door.

"Hold it. Move and you'll regret it." the guard warned, holding his sword at the mans throat.

The man slowly turned around, keeping his hands outstreached, palms up.
"I am unarmed."

"Nevertheless, you are a magic user." the guard said, glancing hesitantly at the mans hands.

"Tell him to leave us." the man told the priest.

"Do as he commands. He means me no harm." the priest said nodding towards the man.

"But-"

"You dare question my orders?" the priest said in a dangerous tone.

"No."

"Good. You may post yourself outside my chambers, but do not disturb us. And make sure no one else does, either."

"Yess, sir." the guard said. He saluted the priest and cast a dangerous expressioin at the man befoer exiting.

"Now, what is it you want? Irhul sent me a letter saying you would arrive, but he did not specify why." the priest said, pulling his robes on.

"He didnt?" the man asked. "Hmm. Thats not like him. Well, let me start at the beginning."

"First, your name. And could you remove your hood? I preffer doing business with someone i can see." the priest said.

"My name is Aaron." the man said, pulling his hood off his face.

Whoops. Forgot the other two characters info! Heres the priests.

Halena floated through the wall that lead to the priest's room. She had been told that there would be a man there that she needed to talk to about business. She was being controlled if you will by another witch. He was the only one said to be able to change that. She had knocked the other witch out hopping she would find the man before her controller woke up. Her cape covered her face like the man's had a few minutes ago, she floated above the door watchin the two men. This man also was said to know her father, she was going to find that out, no matter what.

*Sorry it is all i could think of*

Aaron removed his hood. The face that observed the room was not what the priest had expected. He had wavy light grey hair, almost white, that matched the color of his robes perfectly. He was extremely young, only about twenty five. He had sharp golden eyes that took in his surrounding without missing a thing. Thats how he spotted her floating by the door.

Without breaking stride, Aaron reached out and grabbed the womans ankle, dragging her down. A small dagger appeared in his hand and he held it up to her throat.

"Who are you?" Aaron asked.

"H-Halena." the woman answered.

"Why are you here? How did you get past the guard?"

Halena tried to pull free of his grasp but couldn't. She tried to teleport from his grasp but something kept her from it. She glared at him her hand slowly going for one of her knives. He kicked her hand away from it.

"Please get that stupid dagger away from my throat, if i wanted to kill either of you i would've already done that." She said trying once more to get away but couldn't. "I need your help."

"What for?" Aaron asked, eyeing the girl closly. he lowered the dagger but didnt put it away.

"whats going on?" the priest asked.

"Whats your name?" Aaron asked the priest.

"Er... Calvin." the preist said.

"Ok, Clavin, i'm here to ask you for help. And she's here to ask ME for help, i guess. If you need any help, why dont yo ask her. Then we could have a little helping triangle. Now wouldn't that be fun?" Aaron said, rolling his eyes.

"oh, yes, very funny." Calvin said. "What do you need my help for?"

"You're head priest, right?" Aaron asked.

"Yes."

"My people are in need of your assistance. A danger has entered our land and we do not know how to stop it. Irhul sent me to you because he knew you could help." Aaron said.

"What danger?" Calvin asked.

"It steals our young, murders our people, and takes all our food so we are left to starve. And thats not the worst of it." Aaron said quietly.

"Wow. and I thought i had it rough." Halena said.

"This is very serious. Yes, i may be able to help, but it wont be easy." Calvin said.

"Who are your people? Aren't you human? You look human to me." Halena said.

"Looks can be decieving. Dont trust your eyes to know all." Aaron answered, turning to study the maps Calvin was pulling out of a chest.

Halena stood watching the two. "Well what are you, if you're not human?"

All of the sudden, a wing sprouted from Aarons back, soon followed by another. He flapped them once and withdrew them again.

"That answer your question?"

"Sure," Helena said standing up, she lifted back to near the ceiling so that she could watch them with out being close, she hadn't liked that dagger being so close to her throat. Aaron looked up at her then back down at the paper work. 'The monster escaped.' SHe thought, 'The Bradys were supposed to watch it. "They let it go on purpose." She muttered to herself, "Oh snap."

"You say somethin?" Aaron asked.

"No." Halena said. "I need your help!"

"Ok." Aaron said, still looking at the maps strewn accross the table.

"Well, aren't you gonna ask what it is?" Halena asked.

"If you want. What do you need my help for?"

"Have you ever heard of the witch, Lekes?" She asked, his back stiffened.

"Yes," He said, "What about him?"

"My parents were his servents at one point, when they had me he killed them, now I can only do as he pleases when he wants me to. I was lucky enough to get here when he wakes and finds me gone I'll be dead. I need you to undo the spell." She asked her hands started to tingle, he was waking up!

"I suppose i could spare a few words." Aaron sighed. He drew a complicated sign in the air and said a phrase in the magical language.

"There, its done. You're free. But, since i saved your skin, you owe me." Aaron said, turning around to look at her.

"Erm...ok." Halena said.

Personallity: Illyona is very easy-going, peace lover, but she will be violent if she has to be. She also has an extremely short fuse when it comes to her temper.


Illyona was feeling quite out of place in this temple. She would much rather be outside under the night sky. She noticed the guard and sliently wished she didn't have to deal with this poor man. But what could she do? She needed to talk to the man behind that door.

She decides that perhaps she should ask him for admittence before harming him. Casually she walks over to him.

"Excuse me sir, but would you mind allowing me in to see the priest? I must speak with him. It is a matter of utmost importance."

"No. The priest specifically told me to not allow anyone in." The man said stiffly

"Know this, I tried to be civil with you." Illyona said as she delivered a fist into the man's face, "I am terribly sorry, sir, but that was nessesary."

Upon entering the room Illyona notices two men and a woman, the guard wasn't kidding when he said the priest was occupied.

Aaron turned to see another woman, an elf, enter the room. He turned to the priest.

"You really need to get better guards." Aaron said before turning back to the elf.

"And you are?"

"I am Illyona and I come seeking the priest's guidence." Illyona said bashfully. She hadn't expected to be noticed right away.

"How can I help you my dear?" The priest said turning from the man.

"There seems to be a beast on a rampage. It is destroying my villiage and maulling the forest. Trees are dying. We must locate and destroy this beast before all of the natuall resources are gone from this planet." Illyona was quite worn after her speach, but she was glad she got it all out. She hoped that the priest could help.

The man turned to look at her, "It seems I am on a similar quest."

"Perhaps then it would be sutible to team-up. What does the witch have to do with any of this? I'm sensing some hostiliy in the air, she seems to be stressing about something."

Illyona turned towards the witch in order to study her more carefully. She did seem to worry over something, but because of the witch's magical abilities, she couldn't tell exactly what.
