A New House

[Færys]

Fae was extra happy today. Someone had simply thrown out a lot of cloth. And so, she managed to construct from that a tent in which to live. So, she found a plot of land in what one might call the slums, and placed her tent there. Her hand still hurt from being stabbed, but the pain was going away.

She began to wonder what sort of life awaited her, in this city where she could not seem to keep her possessions to save her life. She didn't have to wonder long, however, as she soon found herself surrounded by shadowy figures. She knew this sort of situation from as far back as she could remember. They had to be assassins sent by her father. There wasn't anyone else that wanted her dead THAT much. Hopefully she could continue not dying, though...

[Kalim]

Kalim was also extra happy today. Why? No reason, he just was. It had been a beautiful day thus far and he had enjoyed showing off with his magic even more than he normally found time to do. Now, he was wandering around the residential section of the city, debating buying a house of his own instead of continuing to live with the academy. It wasn't that he didn't like the people there, he just also liked his privacy now and then.

It was then that he saw a random girl surrounded by shadowy figures. That wasn't good. this sort of scenario almost always meant trouble, didn't all the storybooks say so? Yes, they did. It was also the point where a headstrong hero would leap in to save the day!

...which made Kalim the headstrong hero!

"h-Hey!" He shouted, stuttering slightly. He had never actually had to fight someone for real before, though he was confident that his fire magic could deal with the problem if it came to that. "Go away!"
