Plot:
Spoiler
It's said that legends were made in the West, but many mages in other countries have legends of their own. Stories of their heritage and tales that define the shape of their lives. This is the Legend of the Shadow and White Mages.
Story goes that every generation in the world has an opposing pair like this. Some damned mage cursed to become either an enemy or scapegoat of the world, raiding the earth to collect crossroad contracts - magical scrolls that served as written records of signatures who signed for any deal - while a pure mage pursues the condemned one to end these raids once and for all. Many years ago, a Shadow Mage was chosen to collect a contract - which was made by a different demon - that's worth ten thousand souls and on the run from a White Mage for some reasons unknown. The Shadow Mage knew that this contract was so powerful, he couldn't let his contractor get his hands on it. So he did what no Shadow Mage has ever done before: he out-flew his contractor, gave up the contract to the White Mage, and disappeared off the face of the earth. The thing about legends is, sometimes...they're true stories.


You and four others are elemental mages, born and trained. You were told that a Shadow Mage has surfaced on the world, but none of you can tell if it's the one you heard of from your grandparents or someone new entirely. As far as you all know, a friend of yours mysteriously shows up in your hometown and befriends you within a week. You each were born in different parts of the world, but were raised in a town similar to that of a Western town - saloon and everything. The current Shadow Mage is hellbent on just one mission: destroy the predecessor Shadow Mage and retrieve the Contract of San Aradia - the biggest crossroads contract known in the history of the Shadow Mage. As it has been known even to the current generation, there's no darkness without the light to even the odds. The current White Mage also surfaced and is bent on stopping the current Shadow Mage from retrieving the powerful contract, the same one that the predecessor Shadow Mage gave up to the previous White Mage so long ago. The previous White Mage and Shadow mage were former enemies turned friends, in the past the Shadow Mage was close to giving the contract to the contractor, but the White Mage had convinced the Shadow Mage not to, and it would only destroy the world, the Shadow Mage with it. Now a new demon has contracted a new Shadow Mage to find the Contract of San Aradia. What mage are you and who will you trust? Your friends - the other mages in the group - or the mysterious friend who offers sage advice and seems to know more than he's telling you? Whatever you choose, will determine the outcome of your life as you know it.

Ranks of Magic:
Spoiler
There are four ranks of a mage that can be given through training, experience, experimentation, and - if done well enough - age. The rank can be promoted or demoted at any time, but it takes a very long time to be promoted to the Sage rank - the highest rank a mage can get that's so far only been done by time when experience becomes wisdom. The rank determines one's experience in magic.
Apprentice/Rookie: the beginner's rank of magic. Many has started as an apprentice and mentored by a Knight or Sage of the same element the apprentice is born with. A rookie can be known for wooden weapons or slightly discolored hand-me-down clothes. Sometimes a Field or Knight can get demoted to an a rookie in spite of the said mage's age.
Field/Page: the intermediate rank. Field mages take time to practice their skills and experiment with their magic in hopes of inventing new spells or reviving classic spells. Although no longer a rookie, a Field mage is under the watchful eye of the Knight or Sage. Chances of being demoted to this rank are slight.
Knight: the advanced rank. Knight mages are experienced enough to be mentors of the rookies, but are carefully watched by their own mentors in case of making mistakes. Getting demoted from this rank is very likely and common. Knights are often demoted to rookies as a punishment for immaturity or disrespect. A Knight mage, as the rank suggest, is rumored to be of chivalry and follows a code of honor.
Sage: the highest and most advanced rank of magic. Sages are highly respected because of their wisdom and has been known to become mentors of new rookies. Unlike Knights, Sages have the right to demote or promote their apprentices. To become this rank is to know magic for many years, have lots of experience and discipline, and give wisdom to those who need it. Most Sages become this rank through time alone, but some mages are often ahead of their time and become Sages at an early age.

Elements of Magic:
Spoiler
The elements of magic are what grant a mage their abilities. Magic is actually the fluctuation of a primal superforce known as Mana, which reacts to a mage's personality and ideology to create elemental manifestation.
There are two types of Elements: Corporeal and Incorporeal.
The Corporeal Elements: Corporeal Elements are the most common types of elements manifested, and strongly tied to the Mage's personality. The Five Corporeal Elements are:
Fire: Fire mages are dangerous when furious, but very helpful with cooking and making fire for camps. According to most fire mages, the higher the training rank, the stronger the flames in the long run. Controlling fire takes discipline and extreme caution, since a wildfire caused by a fire mage can get out of control if the mage's temper is provoked. The color of this kind of mage is red.
Water: Water mages are dual-active mages - able to control water and ice. This kind of mage known as a healer by trade. A water sage is known to be the best water-related healer in the area and rumored to be strong enough to walk on the surface of the sea. The mage of this element might be cold and unforgiving or harsh yet kind, depending on the mage itself. The color of a water mage is dark blue.
Earth: Like their water counterparts, Earth mages are healers by trade. As the element suggested, this kind of mage control the earth. Even without the use of the element of earth, an earth mage can heal by means of herbal medicine. The color of this kind of mage is yellow or brown. They're patient folks, but get them angry enough and you'll face the wrath of Mother Nature.
Wind: Mages of this element are, at best, carefree and happy-go-lucky, at worst unpredictable and destructive. Without discipline and harsh training under their belt, the destruction of buildings and fields may ensue. Even with discipline and harsh training, there's always a slight chance that destruction will happen. The color of wind mages is pale green, sometimes white.
Lightning: The color of lightning mages is electric blue-green. Just as unpredictable as wind, but as destrctive as fire. Only the truly skilled can wield Lightning, and is kept under very strict watch by a knight or sage who is skilled with Lightning. They're normally not allowed to use the magic outside of training and battle.

The Incorporeal Elements: Incorporeal Elements are very rare to manifest, and a mystery to most. It's rumored they're tied to a person's mind more than personality. White and Shadow Mages are Incorporeal Elementalists. Incorporeal Elementalists follow a different ranking system.

White: White Mages are overall good people, employing the powers of healing, illusions, and manipulation of light and their previous element to their advantages. They embody the positive aspects of their element. Their chosen color is a silvery-white.
Shadow: Shadow Mages are the polar opposite of White Mages- morally ambiguous, go insane over time, and selfish. They use the power of death, shade-walking, and manipulation of darkness with their previous element to pursue their goals. Their chosen color is a pale grey-black.

Name: Jack Pheral
Mage Name: Jack has two mage names - Shadow Mage & Kindleheart
Element: Formerly Fire, now Shadow
Gender: Male
Age: 26 physically, around 150 actually.
Appearance: As the Shadow Mage, he wears a black trenchcoat over a matching vest and shirt along with black denim jeans. He has boots halfway up to his knees and black snakeskin leather. To complete his appearance as the Shadow Mage, he has a pitch-black bandana hidden under a matching cowboy hat. His eyes are bright green and his hair is golden-blonde. On his back is a black bo staff and on his right hip is a kantana sword. He's keeping a low profile by wearing a maroon cowboy suit - hat and all - and his bo staff in a case tied to the side of the saddle on his horse. When he talks, his words come out with a slight but thick Southern accent. It's one of the few things he grew up with, but it's something he's more proud of. He doesn't really like to update his look, since he's grown used to his cowboy-like appearance and it helps him stay in touch with his roots as a former cowboy. Also as the Shadow Mage, his eyes turn red as blood.
Personality: As himself, he's quiet yet talkative and full of wisdom about Fire magic, and enjoys a delicious puffball or two from time to time. He knows the ropes and secrets using fire, and has the eyes of a hawk when it using his sword. He's almost impossible to crack, but it's easy to tell he's upset when he's looking at a cat almost longingly. As the Shadow Mage, he's almost out of his mind and merciless. In Shadow Mage form, he's easy to anger. The one thing to anger Jack into changing to his Shadow Mage form is to remind him that he's still under contract. What can really tick him off is seeing other mages get hurt and the blame getting pinned on him.
History: Believe it or not, Jack was born a native of the town of San Aradia. He was the only child of a cattle rancher (mother) and San Aradia's town sheriff. How did his parents meet, Jack had not a clue. His father had to put Jack behind bars four times since Jack was eighteen because he refused to accept an arranged marriage with a Water mage. It was after the fourth time he's been in jail when his father mysteriously vanished and his mother got sick. A stranger came to Jack and offered healing to his poor sick mother. When he signed a contract, his mother was returned to full health as promised, but was ran over by a stampede on the same day she was healed. Jack tried to get away out of fright and misery, but his contractor - Valastro - stripped him of his panther Rose and ordered him to begin fetching contracts. Over time, Jack slowly lost his mind and was nearly insane when he was ordered to fetch a contract in San Aradia. The White Mage pursuing Jack convinced him to look into the contract and he was shocked by into his senses when he saw the signatures of both his parents among the signatures on the contract he fetched from San Aradia. Knowing that San Aradia's contract was powerful in its own right, Jack - still to his senses - turned his bo staff into a glider and out-flew Valastro with his new friend - the White Mage - at his heels. He's still a bit out of his mind, but only because he longs to have Rose back to him. In this day and age, he visits the now-reborn town of San Aradia to get in touch with his roots and often wishes he never made the deal. He's had the stallion Phantom for two years now, but is still not at all used to being without Rose.
Rank: Before now, he was a Field mage. To this day, he's still a Field mage, but talks like a Sage.
Object For Magic: Kantana samurai sword. He uses this to channel his fire power and cut through certain things that a sword can cut. If it's steel on steel, the blade is an easy shield.
Secondary Weapon: Bo staff. It's used as a weapon most of the time, but has once transformed into a glider since he became a Shadow Mage.
Guardian Animal: Before he was the Shadow Mage, his guardian animal was a panther he called Rose. Because he made a deal with Valastro, Rose was stripped from him to prevent him from escaping the deal he made. His current temporary guardian animal is a pitch-black stallion called Phantom.
Up For Love?: Nope nope nope. Jack has feeling for Alexandria. He's hoping to begin relations with her, but has trouble making his first move.
Theme Tune: Cartouche by Blackmore's Night
Other: Jack knows full well where the Contract of San Aradia is hidden, but never speaks a word about it. He keeps the location to himself, knowing very well that Valastro's after the contract and has his panther Rose as a bargaining chip. The only one who knows where the Contract of San Aradia is hidden - besides Jack who hid it to begin with - is Alexandria, who Jack trusts with his life.
Look down and show some mercy if you can.
Look down, look down, upon your fellow man.

Name: (First and last name, no exceptions) Alexandria "Zan" Dzierzega

Mage Name: (What you call yourself, as in a title or self-made nickname) White Deludge

Element: (First come, first serve, so take your pick.) Water and White

Gender: (Keep it even, folks) Female

Age: (16 - 29, no younger than 16 and no older than 29) 24

Appearance: (Describe the best you can. Pics optional, anime acceptable) Spoiler! :

Personality: (Likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses - ya know the drill) Zan tends to joke around normally, not taking anything seriously. But that's how everyone likes her, joking around laughing at just about anything. But when she gets serious its a whole different deal, Zan is one of the smartest Sage's known and presumably the most powerful. She leads the Order of Magic, ever watchful and vigilant in her duties, she knows of the new Shadow Mage. But plans to turn the Shadow Mage like she did with Jack. But she has a terrible weakness to Shadow and Fire Magic, she's also claustrophobic and will quickly pass out if left in a tight space for to long.

Object For Magic: (Mages of any rank need one of these for harnessing their magic, so go nuts.) A canteen of water, she can drink out of it and also use it as a whip, depending on the need of it.

Secondary Weapon: Her Ivory sword known as Silver Fang, it used to belong to her father, she channels a lot of purifying magic into her slashes, and is very good with Sword play.
Spoiler! :

Guardian Animal(Every Mage has one, the animal is very loyal to it's master): A large dolphin that is capable of using water magic, provides support for Zan against larger groups of enemies.

Up For Love?: (Yay or nay and what orientation.) Nay has a crush on Jack

Theme Tune(When the character comes around.)
Spoiler! :

Rank (Apprentice, Field, Knight, or Sage): Sage Leader of the Order of Magic

History(Make it detailed): Zan was the daughter of the previous White Mage and daughter of a Water Mage, together they formed an incrediply powerful child, known as Alexandria, Zan for short. Her mother and father always called her "Alex" or by her full name most just know her now as Zan or White Lightning, she named herself that after the combination of being able to use White and Water magic. At the age of twelve, her father and mother began to train her in the way of magic and weapons. Her father was preparing her to take over the Order of Magic, she was given a canteen of water that she could use on the go for when there are no other water sources around to be used.

Silver Fang was given to her by her father, Silver Fang was made specifically to channel White Magic, it was also her fathers old sword in which he crafted himself. When Rose turned eighteen, her parents allowed themselves to become magic and channeled themselves into Zan, boosting her power over Water and White making her immune to those two elements. But gaining an extreme weakness over Shadow and Fire, realizing this weakness, she set out for a Guardian Animal, finding a large wounded dolphin from the sea that washed up on the beach. Zan quickly healed the dolphin, and in turn for her kindness, the dolphin became her guardian animal. When Zan turned eighteen she had fought Jack numerous times constantly ducking it out while at the same time trying to convince him not to do it, not to trade in the contract. In a last ditch effort Zan had snatched the contract away and forced him to see his parents signatures on the contract.

With this startling revelation, but Zan and Jack outran Valastro, but Zan knows her duties, this isn't over until either Valastro or Zan are dead. And Zan won't go down without a fight. The road to the future shall be paved in blood, and one shall reign supreme in the future.

Other(Anything that needs to be shared?): None.

~ Name: Cassandra Hellen Wells
~ Mage Name: Mist (though won't mind being called any variation of her name either, if we talk about her few friends)
~ Element: Shadow/Wind
~ Gender: female
~ Age: 17

~ Appearance: She is rather short, thin and doesn't look a bit like you'd imagine a Shadow Mage - except for clothes. Her eyes are somewhere in between of green and blue, and her hair wavy, long and so light it seems almost white. She has a few freckles on her face, sharp facial features and pale skin, full lips and thin fingers.
Mist wears dark gray, long sleeved dress, with black two-row buttons, black tights and boots. She also wears black, somewhat oversized coat with a hood that she always keeps on. The coat falls almost to her ankles, and its sleeves fall over her fingertips, but she loves wearing it anyway. Also, she sometimes ties her hair in two buns over her ears.

~ Personality: Once a cheerful, free and happy girl, Mist is now playful and imaginative in a whole different way. Ever since she's made her contract, becoming the new Shadow Mage, she turns darker and darker every day, caring less and less for the people around her. However, she remembers the way she used to be, and, unless she's angry or hurt, one can't really tell that she's a Shadow Mage at all. For her, the two are so closely merged that she doesn't ever call them forms, nor does she think she could ever fight either of her powers.
She manages to hide the twistedness of her mind from the others, though she stays a merciless, cunning, sarcastic girl who enjoys being in control. She doesn't show empathy and doesn't know what to do when someone starts crying - she hates, that is, to show any kind of weakness, and will stand a lot of pain before showing a hint of tears.
Beneath that, though, she is still rather young. She enjoys stars and music, dreams of true friendships and loves reading. She is hungry for power and knowledge, eager to learn as much magic as she can, and will listen about every type of it (even though she can't use them). However, Mist is above all tortured by her emotions, a girl who grew up too fast done things a girl of her age shouldn't had done, and a person who seeks haven in wrong places. When she's alone, knows that no one can hear (except for Otto or her Contractor, that is) and thinks of her family, she does cry, wondering if everything could have been different if she chose more carefully and wasn't so selfish. She will not insult people for no reason, and will share what she has if the others need something. She needs to be listened to, but doesn't give advices to others and hates talking about herself, and really she wishes for someone to hug her and tells her everything will be fine, and takes some of her responsibilities and troubles away.

~ History: Mist was born a Wind Mage, to a Sage and a Knight parent of the same element. Ever since rather early age, she's been thought to use her inherited power, so at 16 she already got as close to being a Knight herself as she could be.
However, things went down for Mist then. Her mother got sick, and his father started making mistakes on his Knight position, ending up leaving the whole order. Mist was alone and lonely, but at that time a young man appeared - her best friend and her worst enemy, as time will tell - and she, as any sad young girl, ignored her intuition. He told her who he was, and that she had the potential he's been looking for, and offered her a contract. It would save her family, he said, and show her powers which she didn't even know there are.
Mist wasn't an idiot, she knew very well of the legend and of what Shadow magic is - and she didn't want to go along with the demon's plans (though it was hard to ignore him). She declined his offer, and, for a while, he left her alone.

Not long before her 17th birthday, some men angry at her parents entered their house, and killed her family (baby brother, parents and grandparents). When she got home, it was the first time that she heard shadows whispering to her, and that she wished to harm another human being. She then called for her demon, knowing he will come, and signed his contract, barely looking at the details, asking for power he promised her. She attacked and killed the men responsible for her family's death, all alone and barely getting hurt, and she was surprised by how much she enjoyed it.
After that, she's been more or less following her Contractor's wishes, though never forgetting to ask for something in return - maybe because she's so young, maybe because he never saw her as a threat, or maybe because he holds her life in his hands, he goes along with it.

~ Rank: Field when it comes to Wind

~ Object For Magic: a small silver bell, which she calls Elyon, and with which she can control both her magic types

~ Secondary Weapon: a spear - well, mostly the size and shape of a pen, but gets changed to the thin, proper spear when she pushes a button on it

~ Guardian Animal: A falcon, named Otto

~ Up For Love?: Yay. Doesn't really mind girls, but prefers guys.

~ Theme Tune: I will go with another one of Blackmore's Night ~ Ghost of the Rose, say.

~ Other: She holds her Contractor unusually dear. He was, even though for his own needs, there when she had no one else, and it will take a lot to get her to turn against him.

Name: Aiden Silver

Mage name: Stone.

Element: Fire.

Gender: Male.

Age: 19.

Appearance: Tall, well built, long black hair, brown eyes, powerful forearms, always looks angry.

Personality: He's fearless and commands respect. He's an introvert in every way, never talking to anyone unless he has too. He does not believe in friends, and has none. He values his duties as a Knight above all else. When you meet him he seems angry with you all the time. But inside he's hurting.
He respects his peers, and values skill and ability. He is relentless (A knight at 19), in his goals.

History: Though he always was a terribly weak Mage, he uses his powers with a skill few can master, making him just as dangerous as the naturally powerful Mages. When he was only ten, he and his family where eating their evening meal when he began to get angry at his father over a petty argument, he accidentally released his power and killed everyone in the house.
He was afterwards taken to Mage training where he grew up, hating himself, and the world. Bitter and trusting nobody and nothing. And now he want's to make a difference in the world. His childhood story is very well known, and due to a long thin scar across his cheek he got that fateful night, he is easily recognized.
Normal people do not trust him.
They hate him.
He only has one companion, another, older knight, his trainer. But their relationship is ruined by the fact that he can't trust anyone, and he holds onto Kiral (Trainer), without faith that their friendship will last.

Rank: A Knight.

Object for magic: A light blue gem that he keeps on his person at all times. (It was his mothers - the first person he ever killed using magic).

Secondary weapon: A sword his father used. (He was a soldier).

Guardian Animal: A snow leopard.
Up for Love?: Aye.

Theme: (Has no Idea :()

Name: Zakura "Shockwave" O'kara

Mage Name: "Shockwave"

Elemnt: Lightning

Gender: Male

Age: Looks like 21, but he is actually around 60 years old.

Appearance: He is 5' 11'', but he hunches a lot when he doesn't know the people near him. He has extremely tan skin, but it looks discolored because of many scars that litters his skin. Possibly his most famous scar is one that above both his eyes, that looks like a lightning bolt, because of all of the creasing from the massive scar. He has light brunette hair, almost blonde, that reaches the bottom of his shoulders, but he keeps it in a bun.

Personality: He is pretty anti-social, because he has severe bipolar disorder and extreme anger management issues. Needless to say, he is unstable. Though, for people that he doesn't hate, he is a great friend and a loyal ally.

History: Zakura was born in a family of bloodbath. During that time, there was a large feud between his family and another's. So he was born to be hard and stubborn, always for a fight. But he fell in love, and he fell hard, with a girl from the other family, in a whole Romeo and Juliet scene. Nine months later, a baby was born, and they decided to get married, which enraged both families. They and their child were exiled.

Two months later, both families lynched them, killing his wife and their child. This sent him in a crazy rage, which was the first time he used his magic. He killed all who were at the lynch. Two days later, he killed all of his and his wife's family members in a blind rage, cause by his magic.

This attracted the only lightning sage, and he taught him for three years before the sage became insane. After that he kept his head low and trained himself in the craft of lightning. At the age of twenty-one, he realized that he could keep himself young by regenerating his body every few months with a large jolt of lightning.

Now he has found himself with a goood company of people just like him, except in different elements.

Rank: Knight, but many consider him a Sage. Since the only lightning sage is insane, no one can appoint him as a Sage.

Object For Magic: Lightning scythe called Aronoür, the famous "Shockwave Blade." This blade is famous because it caused the famous scar on his face, inflicted by the previous owner of the weapon, its first owner. He quickly obtained the blade after.

Secondary Weapon: Two ivory daggers. He will never get rid of them, even if he tried, which he has before (Long Story).

Guardian Animal: A storm hound named Shadow. She has two different forms: BattleCry and FluffyPuff. In BattleCry she is twice the size of a wolf and can reach extreme speeds. In FluffyPuff she is the size of the puppy and irrestiable to pet. She is jet black with electric blue tips on the ends of all her fur.

Up for Love: He had his heart broken twice before by loved ones. Even if he could, it would not be the same, so no, because of all of his bretrayals in the past.

Theme Tune: "Moving Mountains" - 2 Steps From Hell. He hums this as a pasttime.

Spoiler


Other: He will back what he believes in, but he might be swayed on what he believes, if someone hits him on his insecurities, because of all his betrayals in the past.

Will might not be the wisest of the wise, but he’s clever and powerful. But he has a terrible weakness to Shadow and Lightning Magic, he is constantly forgetting things as well.
History: (will work on it) William was taken in by his uncle. He had no idea who his parents were, and as far as he was concerned they were dead. He never asked his uncle and his Uncle never told him. As Will became aware of his powers he hid them, training himself with any means. He created mobile animals out of ice, walked on water, and could breath underwater. His power increase as he aged, he was able to make platforms of ice in mid-air, and control water with a though. Once his power became uncontrollable causing an accident. He was testing his platforms seeing how high he could go, but he became reckless his platform shatter thirty feet of the ground. That’s all he remembers of that day, the next thing he knew was being bandaged up and not able to move. The fall had inflicted serious injures to his brain, he still had intent to become a Sage. So his Uncle arranged a Sage and a Weapon specialist. Will learn quickly from both, and soon he was a master himself. Then he and his Uncle took a vacations in mountains near. Once William was strolling through a large forest, he got lost and took refuge in a cave while the storm pasted. As night finally arrived, Will to cation of his surroundings. He knew it was very late he stood up and saw a pair of eyes starring at him. The eyes grew in size, then he noticed he was starring into the gaze of a giant snake. The snake wrapped around so fast he was almost crashed by it. He used ice for defense as a instinct, the air around Will froze. The snake was frozen around his body, he released it soon after he got out from between the coils. He needed a Guardian, and what better than a giant snake. The snake seemed well behaved after that, returning to it’s smaller form rapping around Will’s wrist. It lead him out of the forest, and from then on helped him within reason. After that William returned with his Uncle, and finished his apprenticeship. A few months later Will was sent to convince a Pheral that had recently come to town.

Okie-dokie, folks. We kick-off now. Anyone who reserved their spots must post their profiles in the DT as well as OOC posts. Reminder: everyone's in the reborn city of San Aradia where Jack takes the position as both a Fire Sage and San Aradia's town sheriff.
All that said, after my mark, everybody make their first post. Don't go too nuts about the posts, just save some room for everybody else.


Jack Pheral~~~~~~~The Streets of San Aradia (early afternoon)

Phantom took me through the streets, almost racing around like he never felt so alive before. I made sure I had a firm grip on the reigns and the saddle so I wouldn't fall off. Patrol in San Aradia wasn't necessary in the past with my father as the town sheriff, but at this day and age, you don't know what to expect.
San Aradia, my old stomping grounds and birthplace, where my father - the once legendary Amos Pheral - was the firm and long arm of the law. My father was legendary for his powerful whiplash ability, a move used only by a Pheral when partnered with a Wind mage. His wife, my beloved mother, was a cattle farmer and a Wind mage, but I was just a Fire mage. It wasn't until I was eighteen when I began to deliberately get myself in trouble, all because my father tried to get me hitched with a Water mage to tame me. I gave Phantom's reigns a yank to slow him down and murmured, "Pa, ya shoulda known yer only young'un was wil'fire like yerself when ya were a young'un. Ya can't tame wil'fire wi' just watah, but ya just nevah learn. What were ya thinkin' when ya signed the damned contract? Were ya thinkin' I would finally give in 'n marry who ya chose fer me? That don't work that way. My heart found someone else and it ain't the mage ya chose for me."
Phantom neighed for my attention, snapping me out of my own little world.
I stroked his mane. "Sorry, boy. Wrong place, wrong time to take a trip down memory lane, eh?" I snapped the reigns, sending him to gallop. "We bettah head off to Zan before she wonders where in the world I ran off to with ya. Ya know 'er. Worried 'bout me like she's my wife." I laughed heartily.
Phantom snorted like he disagreed with me.
I snorted back. "It could happen. I'll ask 'er to marry me, when she 'n I have less trouble on our hands. Right now, I'll just take it easy on 'er." I rolled my eyes with Phantom snorted again. "I don't believe it. I've had ya fer two years and you're against me 'bout who I wanna marry. Sometimes I wondah why I'm stuck with ya." Neither one of us spoke the rest of the way to where Zan was training other young mages. I dismounted Phantom and led him to the stable so he wouldn't let Zan know I was back. After shutting Phantom in for the day, I snuck in the building and hid in the shadows, watching Zan train the other mages that came around.
Look down and show some mercy if you can.
Look down, look down, upon your fellow man.

William Summerstone~~~~~~~At his uncle's place(early afternoon)

It was going to be another long afternoon of me training by myself. I looked about the training yard seeing two of the magical dummies left by my sage. I tighten my iron fist so they wouldn't slip off, I pull back for a punch and I hear "Hey Boy!" from inside the house. I sigh looking at the dummy.
"Maybe next time." I smile at it, running into the house passing several rooms until I came to a study. "Yes uncle." I call before entering. He was sitting behind his wooden desk with several letters open next to him.
"Have you heard of someone by the last name Pheral?" He asks me, and possible by the confused look I gave he continued. "No, guess not. Here, you'll need to this and this." He says handing me an envelopes. I look at the envelopes with curiosity. Take these into San Aradia, you'll need to start by finding someone by the name Zan. She'll help you from there." He answers to my facial expression.
"Will do." I tell him before leaving shoving the envelopes in my pouch under my cloak. "I'll leave right away."

A few days later in San Aradia (early morning)

My first night in San Aradia was not the most comfortable, staying in the first inn I came to at dusk. After eating my morning meal, I began my search for Zan. I walk the dusty streets, asking where she might be. Eventually I was pushed in the right direction. I strolled into the building, my boots thumping against the ground. "Hello?" I say, wait a few moments then leave. "Damn they were joking with me."

Zakura~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~San Aradia

I saw the men look at the gangly boy with the bright blue shirt and start talking to him. My fists clenched.

My boy would be at that age... I thought.

They pointed him to a abanded cabin and he set off.

I walked over to them. They were snickering. "Hey guys. Who is he?" They were still laughing when they turned to me, then they immediately stopped.

A man, probably in his early 20s, stepped up and said, "What's it to you, Shockwave? You know that kid?"

"So what if I do?" The man faltered a bit.

"I meant no disrespect, I only meant that as a --"

"I know what you meant. Where is he heading?"

The man was clearly humbled by my prescense. "To Zan's place."

This sent a shiver down my spine. I got very close to him, so that only he could hear me. "That is not where Zan lives. No where she ever live there. I suggest you learn your directions before you give them out..." With that, I walked to the boy.

He was looking at the inside of the cabin, a picture of perplexion on his face, which turned into anger as realization snuck in. He then turned to almost collide with me.

"Snow" Hunt Mid morning entering San Aradia

I look ahead at the dry dirt that is swirling in the wind and finally see a building ok "buddy we are finally at San Aradia" patting my large Elk. He snorted in response and kept walking well I bounce a little on his back "well now we have to find Zen and see what sshe wants." I pull out the letter and looking at it again seeing what the address was then looking around seeing no one around. "lets get out of the heat Hunter" well looking around for some shade and seeing a Inn and sliding off and walked in.
There was only tree men sitting at the bar part of the inn talking to a young girl. when I walk up to the bar and order some water and sit down well pulling my hood off then looked around some more. "Hey Where you from?" asked one of the men sitting at the bar 2 feet away.
"No i'm not I'm looking for someone so could you point me in the direction of some one with the name Zen Dzierzega." The men looked at me and then said Well if you find jack are town sheriff i think he can help you" he said well the young girl handed me the water. [i]Ok now i know who i have to find to find Zen it seems like this keeps getting harder first i have to get here now i have to find a town sheriff./i] I got out of the inn and headed toward the sheriffs place that the young girl told me to go and how to get there.

William Summerstone~~~~~~~San Aradia(early afternoon)

As I turn to head out, after those guys joked with me, I see a guy slightly shorter then me standing in the door way. His blonde hair slightly glowed in the sun's rays. Great, knowing my luck this is a guy sent to beat me up or this is his house. I think this while putting my arms up slightly in frustration.
"Howdy partner, I'm new to these parts. So, I be sorry if trespassing." I say walking towards him to shake hands.
"I hear you need help finding Zan." He says to me. Another joker, great. I might just hit you, you know what I will. I crumbled in front of his feet grabbing my sides, in false pain of course. A moment later I punch the ground letting ice form quickly gripping everything. I then stand up at the man with an uppercut.
"I don't have anymore time to mess around, I know you were sent here by those people in the saloon. Don't think I'm weak or a fool just cause I'm young."
