Osian sits down on the docks, and stares off into the distance, thinking. "I wonder if he's still out there.. I wonder if he knows I'm here.. " Osian shakes his head slightly, and sighs softly. He closes his eyes and pets his eagle, Soronielle. "Everything will be fine, Soronielle.. don't worry about it.. it won't end up like.. like last time." He shudders, recalling the moment of his death, knowing that the eagle must have been devastated. Suddenly a cry is heard from a little boy, no more than seven years of age, walking along the docks: "There's a man out there! Look! A man floating in the water!" Osian looks up suddenly, scanning the waters. Following the child's pointing finger he sees the man. His clothes are no more than rags of what could have once been a fine black cloak. He struggles through the waves, barely managing to stay above the water, gasping for air. Quickly Osian mounts Soronielle, and cries for her to fly out to sea. The eagle responds immediately, and follows Osian's every command until she ends up right about the drowning man. Osian leans down as far as he can, and pulls the man up, barely managing to bring him onto Soronielle's back without falling into the sea himself. The eagle strains to fly back, unused to carrying so much weight, but in the end does make it to the docks. Osian immediately lifts the now unconscious man from Soronielle's back, and softly lays him on the ground. "I could use some help!" he shouts, and bends down to tend to the man as well as possible. Upon getting a good look at his face he blinks in amazement. Osian looks around at the crowd that's begun to gather. "This is the man who killed me." Three days before... Orchid sat cross legged, suspended above the ground levitating, beads of sweat pouring down his far head. Strong magics were at work, and Orchid let out a mind shattering scream as he was covered in bolts of lightning. The cave was filled with the air of magic, and a waterfall could be heard just outside. Small glowing balls of light surrounded Orchid as he continued the harmonic alien chant... He let out another roaring scream as the lightning covered him once more... Meanwhile.... A man in navy blue walked down the deck, serveying the area. He called up to the watchman "Do you see anything?" The man shouted down "Nae Captain! THe skies are clear, no storms approaching..." The captain smiled, he could not wait to reach his destination, to finally finish what he seemingly could not... The winds picked up all of a sudden, violent winds, clouds came tumbling in, the sky turned black... A tornado formed upon the water, creating a water spout, and the water beneath this ship began to spin in to a funnel, a whirl pool. The crew did not know what to do, but in a second, it was over... no remains of the ship, no bodies, nothing in site, except for the body of the captain, which floated away with the tide... Today... Orchid walked towards the beaches, smiling, the sun beating down upon his face, quite a nice day. He spots a large group, and begins to walk towards them to see what the ruckuss is. Osian is sitting, looking at the corpse of one he reckonized quite well, a man who he saught to destroy for the death of Osian a few years ago, a man who he thought he DID destroy... Osian looks up, panicing, breathing heavily, but understanding what he must do. "We have to save this man! Someone, help!" He looks around the crowd, and mutters to himself as none of them seem too eager to help. Osian bends down and begins doing what he can to preserve the man's life, but it is obvious he needs help. He looks up again, and spots Orchid walking toward the crowd, a strange look on his face. He wonders for a second what could be wrong, but shakes his head and calls out. "Orchid! I need your help!" He continued to walk towards the group of people, and reached them. "Greetings Osian" he said. "I heard you needed to save..." he stopped as he looked once more at the man, confirming his suspicions... "SAVE THAT?! Are you crazy? He killed you! I should kill him right now!" He said as he began to throw a ball of fire at the man... Seeing an unusually large gathering of people, Dove ride up on her owl to see what is going on. She gasps as she sees Osian kneeling by a man, both of them soaking wet, and Orchid with his hands stretched out in mid spell. 'Orchid, what are you doing!' Dove slips off the owl and moves between Orchid and the man lying there. Hands outstretched, she pleads quickly, trying to get Orchid to hear her.. Osian looks up at Orchid casting his spell, in total shock. As Dove steps between them, he shakes his head briefly, and again lets his eyes dart around the crowd. He spies someone with a rogue's guild ring on, and whispers "Help me bring this man into a locked house, will ye?" Osian looks back at Orchid, a worried expression on his face, and hopes that Dove will be able to distract him long enough to get the man to safety.
