"Hey Erik," wrote Ahn as he ate his chocolate cake at a little inn near the outside of the elf forests. "I'm off to seek the adventure of a lifetime as I always said I would. Yes, I'm diligently studying my magic.." Well I'm looking it over now occasionally as I write, Ahn thought to himself. "And humans aren't as bad as you said they were. They're very interesting, a little stupid but I'll give you credit when you said that they were louder then an army of drarves.."
Ahn turned calmly to face the gang of thugs that now encircled his table. He smirked as he put down his pen. "Oh well, it's a good excuse to get away from my studies," he shrugged.
"Well well, lookie here," sneered the leader of the group of thugs. "An elf boy far from home, and noble from the looks of it," he said as he glanced at the necklace of the 4 pointed star. "I think we just scored ourselves some cash, don't ya think?" they laughed at their good fortune.
Ahn just smiled coolly until one of then reached for his staff of magius.
"I don't think you want to do that," he said in a low voice as his eyes began to shine golden.
They only laughed harder as one of them grabbed the staff. But his laugh was cut short as the cat eye orb flared with light and burned at his touch. He cried out in pain only to realize that he couldn't let go of the deadly staff. Ahn smirked as he sent a blast of energy at him.
The man was down but even before he hit the ground, Ahn moved around the thugs and began to inflict some damage. They were quick to fight back but to this elf who has won top honors in the elven acadamy of fighting and often spent his days training at the gym, this was child's play. He disarmed them easily and laughed as the last one fell.
"Weak," he said as he turned away in contempt. Only to see a girl with deep purple eyes at the neighbouring table.
"Ahn," she said.
"Sola!" he yelped stupidly.
Flashbacks of when he last saw the mercenary collided, from when he had been a chubby child getting himself into trouble and being literally dragged out of it by her. It had been a degrading and humiliating experience and he felt his face turn beet red.
"Last I recall, ye -you be owing me a favor," she smiled.
Ahn groaned.
