"As soon as I can buy one, sir! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!" Dorian's mind pondered on one thing alone...why did the Magi guild want his Rune so badly? Did they simply hate him because he is not a Magi...WHY??

Mercson walked down the an alley looking for the boy. Wickerman was quickly walking walking after him, making sure Mercson didn't see him.

Rolin was asleep at his desk, as per usual. It wasn't like he had any work to do. His father walked in and cleared his throat, meaning to wake Rolin up, and it did . . . Just like it always did.
"Wake up, Rolin!!" Rolin's father yelled in a rather harsh tone.
Rolin rubbed his eyes, and widened them. There were two high ranking magi behind his father, and a pair of enforcers slipped past his father, whom was standing in the doorway.
"Get up, sir. You are being removed." the enforcer said.
Rolin stood up slowly, looking around in shock. His hands dropped to his sides, and his left hand slowly crept up the handle of his blade.
One of the other magi stepped into the room, and spoke in an easy voice towards Rolin. "The masquerade is over, Rolin. You are impure, you have tarnished the name of your father . . . And you have damaged him in many ways. You are alive, at the expense of his pathetic life. These underlings will escort you out of the building. If you ever step foot within the Halls of the Magi again, you will be executed on sight.
Rolin's father had a slight glimmer in his eye, as he store at the ground, just repeating "I'm sorry" in a low voice. The enforcers walked to either side of Rolin, stepped behind him, and each grabbed one of his shoulders and began to push him out. His father stepped out of the way, and as the enforcers passed him, he smiled.
Out of nowhere, the two magi caught fire, and the enforcers grabbed Rolin's wrists and ran as fast as they could, telling him to follow. Rolin's father fell to the ground, exhausted, and pulled out a dagger. Rolin's father stuck it through his throat, and died rather quickly.
Rolin and the two enforcers had reached the ground floor when he broke free of their grips. They both stopped, and beckoned him to continue. Several men cloaked in the garb of the magi came running down the stairwell. Rolin saw them, and began to run. One of the would be enforcers stopped, turned around, and went into a trance. A wall of solid ice began to rise from the floor, and he became heavy-winded. The other enforcer grabbed him, picked him up, and ran.
They continued running . . . Finally, they stopped in front of an inn in a lesser section of the city. All of them composed themselves, and knocked on the door. A slide in the door opened, and one of the enforcers said "Nightingale". The door was opened, and the three of them walked into a rather dimly lit room . . .

Zero smiled, pulled out a long weed, and began to chew on the end of it. "So what exactly could a kid like you need from a guy like me? You must be in some deep Grendo (OCC: this language's version of another word for what food becomes after you eat it) to even approach the guy who killed Dark Knight Yamatowa." Zero examined the kid's rune. "Judging from that thing, I'd say it has something to do with the Magi, no?"

"Y..y..es, I believe they seek to harness it's ability, but I am not completely sure........" Now, Dorian thought, I must find out why they are chasing me...and what exactly this rune is..."You will help me discover the reason why I am being chased, won't you?"

Mercson came across the spot where the boy was. "Zero... what's he doing there?" Mercson said to himself in a low voice taking out his short swords. He creeped up to a nearby box and hide behind it. "This will.." He was cut off by Wickerman. "Be tougher then you thought, eh?" "d**nmit man! You too. Lemme guess you here to project the little grendo-head?" Mercson sadi trying not to raise his voice. "Exactly.." Wickerman said slamming down the butt end of his scythe in fornt of Mercson. "umm.. You should leave.. I don't think you have a chance..." Considering the odds, Mercson agreed and walked away. "Fine.. but I'll be back.." He said as he left.
Wickerman walked to Dorian and Zero were. "Hi. I'm here to protect the kid," he said rather nonchalantly

"Mmm....uhhhh....why? Who hired you? I..I..I have never met you before.........." Dorian was dumfounded! He now had two bodyguards to help him uncover the Magi's secrets!!

Zero glared at Wickerman. "Fine with me, as long as you don't get in my way..." He said with a gint in his eyes. "The Magi have some good troops at their side, but we can take them. Be it open combat or a stealth mission, it shouldn't be that difficult."

Zero did his best to keep from belting the kid. Luckily, he was feeling generous today. "Our best bet is the Magi Nexus in the center of town," he began. "Security is tight, so we'll have to come up with a good story to sneak in. Then we'll split up and sneaking around, looking for information. I suggest you wear a glove, we all wear cloaks, and we try not to accociate with each other much."

"hmm... hold on a sec," Wickman pulled out a pouch. He opened it and the sound of stones clanking together. "I might have a good illusion stone, but it might be drained."
After awhile Wickerman let out a sigh. "I guess we'll have to do Zero's idea."

Zero shook his head. "Lets get going," he told them. He walked into a back alley where he found the usual assortment of passed out drunks. He found three with clean enough, not too smelly cloaks and carefully pulled them off. An enforcer walked by, but Zero just waved and the Enforcer kept walking. He knew better than to tell Zero to stop what he was doing. He also reached into one's pocket and pulled out a pair of gloves and a small vial of wine. He grabbed the articles and headed back over to Wickerman and the kid. "Here," he said, throwing the gloves and two cloaks at their feet. "Put these on and lets go."
