Saving Orphans

## Story

Kryis walks into the town and sees many people from many different races all in this town ready and willing to help all sorts of races from Elves to Dwarfs to even Dragons all in one big village. Kryis walks in with her head up and sees a magic school so she decides to go there first to further her knowledge in many other things but before she can someone from the town yells that they saw a vicious tiger in the mountains and all the orphan children are there and trapped everyone just laughed at the person then Kryis walks over to the person and tells that person to lead her to the mountain she will take care of it many of the other people thought the same thing the person from the past town thought about her she doesn't have the strength to do it so she is going there to prove them wrong.

Meanwhile Mina is walking in the town as Kryis is leaving it and asks about a girl with cobalt blue hair an elf says you just missed her she is headed to the mountains alone to save a bunch of Orphans alone. Mina now worried says I got to catch up to her the Elf then says wait let me lead the way for you Mina shook her head then told the Elf her name. The Elf replied with my name is Qahron I am a Archer and I am great with a Bow. Mina then replies with let go to the forest first a friend of mine is there with the 3 of us we can better locate her and find her fast. Qahron agrees and they set off to the Forest to get Shadow and head for the Mountain to get Kyris.

Shadow was busy training himself to get used to the speed at which he could move now but he was having a bit of trouble focusing when the sounds of the forest around him started to pick up. He sighed and then stopped his training when he heard footsteps coming his direction. He drew his sword ready to fight if he needed to.

Mina walks into the forest with Qahron and is calling for Shadow to tell him about Kryis being on this Island and about needing to go to the Mountain to catch up to her as she went to go save some orphans all by herself on the mountain where a vicious tiger is holding the orphans.

Kryis makes it to the mountain and tells the Guide to wait down here she will go the rest of the way alone to save the kids so wait.Kryis makes it through the first floor with ease killing of many bird enemies and picking up there Feathers just in case after clearing the whole first level she counts that she has 10 Bird's Feathers. She then enters the second floor and sees 3 Orphans hiding so she takes out all the enemy birds on the floor with her Thunder Magic and then picks up all the feathers then walks over to the Orphans and asked where the others are they said they are further up the mountain Kryis tells them the whole first level is cleared go on down a person is waiting for you to all come down there the 3 orphans agree to head down to the entrance of the first floor and to the person waiting while the others soon appear afterwards. Kryis goes to the 3rd floor alone and is beginning to sense the vicious tiger is actually a summon and starts to clear the third floor and saves 4 more orphans and send them down after killing 6 more groups of Birds she rechecks the amount of Bird Feathers she has and now it's at 30 Bird Feathers. She gets close to the 4th and Final level of the mountain and can sense that the summon is out of control.

Shadow could hear Mina coming but there was something else from the other direction that was bugging him. He spun and had just enough time to block the blade that would have ran right into his heart. The blade slide down and cut into his sword arm forcing him to jump back and switch to his lance. He could see Mina and her companion form here and knew they stood no chance against this enemy. After a few minutes of trading blows Shadow was almost beat and it would still take Mina time to get to his side so he made up his mind. Sorry I couldn't make it back." He said as he charged the foe and ran them through with his lance and using the last of his power changed him and the foe to solid stone. The transformation finished right as Mina would get into the clearing. Shadows foe was a wraith far stronger than any of them could fight even together.

Mina starts to cry as she watched as Shadow turn himself and the Wraith to stone to save her and Qahron. Qahron then said to Mina we need to catch up to your friend. Your friend heres sacrifice will not be in vain we need to go to get Kryis and make sure she is okay. Mina nodded her head then her and Qahron kept going to the mountain but not before Mina marked the place of Shadows sacrifice on the map so she can bring Kryis there afterwards.

Meanwhile Kryis is at the top floor of the mountain and takes out all the other bird monsters out leaving only the tiger and then the tiger sees Kryis coming and lunges on top of her to attack her Kryis's health drops fast but is still able to pull off one summon and that is Pietro she summons him and that keeps him on the field in front of her while restoring her health and stealing the tigers until she is strong enough to fight it.

In the shadows of the area that Kryis and the tiger were fighting a man sat watching the fight. He had been there the whole time and was avoided by the tiger only because he was stronger than the tiger was. He would help Kryis if she failed and needed him to aid her but he could tell that she would win and find him on her own so he stayed silent for now.

Drenscal was mad that he was still three days away from the island that he figured would be where he would find Kryis again and maybe even Shadow.

With Pietro keeping the tiger in the front of him and Kryis slowly recovering she stands up and then uses a new spell called Ice Aerods which let her attack from behind Pietro while still hitting the tiger she did alot of damage to the tiger and it began to weaken.

Meanwhile Mina and Qahron make it to the mountain and see some of the Orphans and the person that lead Kryis to the mountain the guide said it's not safe but the orphans told Qahron and Mina that a girl with long cobalt blue hair took out all the monsters and must be at the top so if they hurry they could make it to the top. So without hesitating Mina and Qahron run up and make it to the bottom part of the fourth floor they see someone else watching and wonders why he is not helping Kryis.

The man starts to grow tired of waiting but he stays silent and still because if he moves or makes a noise he could draw the tigers attention and be forced to fight it himself and he has no wish to make know the power that he holds just yet. He can tell that the next move the young girl makes will finish the fight so he figures he can just wait that long.

The tiger tries to get past Pietro but can't so his power keeps getting drained and then the wind begins to pick up on the Mountain and Kryis then learns a Wind Spell called Cyclone's Rage and she uses it to hit the tiger not only killing it but bringing it to her side so that the remaining Orphans can run down the mountain to safety. Kryis ends the Battle and touches the Tiger and tells him she knows he did not mean to attack her but something happened to him and he went berserk the tiger agrees and says I am sorry my name is Galvice the Tiger Summon also there is a hidden box on the other side with the only scrolls of documentation about Wind Magic make sure you learn them before giving them to the Magic School in town. Kryis shakes her head and agrees then watches as Galvice vanishes away and then she sends Pietro away then walks over to where Galvice said the hidden box was and calls upon Kupicho and lets him unearth the chest which as Galvice said were Wind Magic Documents and she begins to read them while waiting for the others to pop out of hiding as she knows they are there.

Mina and Qahron then get up and slowly get over to Kryis so she can focus on learning the magic and Kryis does learn all the leavel 1-3 Wind Magic before putting them in her inventory to take to the magic school.

Slonic smiled and was about to stand up when he felt a spirit trying to reach him. He focused on it and listened to what it had to tell him and then nodded. He stands up and walks out of the shadows and looks right at the three of them and says " Well you sure took your time getting here. I could have beaten that tiger but I can't control summons so all I would have done is ended up killing it. I'm Slonic Slovinski Spirit Guardian now if you don't mind I will be leaving and heading to the village to get some real rest for once." with that he walked away and down the mountain not even bothering to look back even once.

After learning the spells and listening to Slonic Kryis turns to look at Mina with a new companion an Elf she asked Mina who was the person she was to go and save Mina said to Kryis it was Shadow and he is the reason I made it here and to come and find you again. Kryis said were is he I miss him Mina replied he was turned to stone trying to protect me and Qahron from a Wraith stronger then any of us combined.

Kryis was worried but was now happy that her and Mina are now reunited and they have a new ally in Qahron who introduces himself to her she thanks him for looking after Mina and then says we should head back down and make sure the orphans get back to town safely they walk and catch up to Slonic and the guide with all the orphans and they see that Kryis is alive and they thank her then they make it back to town before night fall and Kryis is paid for her efforts and is given 25,000 gold for the job and then her,Mina and Qahron stay the night in the inn fall asleep and wait for morning to come.

Slonic sighed and then walked into the clearing and said " Well why did you feel the need to call me all the way out here just to look at a stone statue." He paused and then smiled " Okay I see now why you called me here but just what is it that you want from me." He stood there and would look crazy to anyone who saw him at this point.

Shadow could feel this man's mind but couldn't see anything other than the darkness that he was in. "Well for one I want out of this darkness. Second I want to know how the others are doing." "The darkness is your cage you can get free anytime you want if you fight hard enough just be warned that you cant survive in the living world as a soul. Your friends seemed to be fine when I last saw them. If you want I could bring them here." "You should only bring the summoner but I doubt the others will leave her side so yes bring them when you have time."Slonic nods and then goes back to the road and sits down watching both directions.

Drenscal talked with the captain about the fact that the wind the ship had been using died a few hours ago. " Well with out the wind we are stuck just drifting unless you can talk the men into rowing till it picks up again." Drenscal sighed and then walked to talk with the men.

Kryis woke up that following Morning and was back to perfect health so she along with Mina and Qahron leave the inn. Kryis came up with the idea to split up and look around for more members to help until they can get a ride out of this island so Kryis said I will go to the Magic School in town you two search the town is what Kryis told Mina and Qahron they agreed and they split up.

Kryis makes it inside the Magic School and talks to the the person in charge that tells her he can since massive power coming from her that no one else in his school has she nodded and said I am a Summoner and last of all summoners the teacher said let me try and help you out we have 2 very great students in this school that just need real world experience how about you take them with you and let them help you out I will go get them you wait here.

Meanwhile Mina and Qahron found a Dwarf Blacksmith that would be willing to help them make weapons and armor Mina and Qahron agreed to his proposal to join and the Dwarf who told him his name was Bashamal said glad to be of assistance and he closed his shop and took what he needed and then said you should ask that girl over to the right for help I hear she is amazing at building maybe she can help you build a base a stronger and more normal one for now so Mina and Qahron agree and they take Bashamal there first none fighter ally and they walk over to the girl.

Drenscal finally gets the people to work together and get the ship moving again. He figures that it will take them another 2 extra days to get to their destination.

Slonic sighs and then reaches out to Shadow again" Are you sure they will come this way today?" "Yes you stupid old man I know for a fact that they will be coming this way today. Now you can just shut up and wait or if you must go find them in the village." Shadow says back and then looks around the darkness around him. He moves around a bit and then sighs. "Well if I have to I guess I will just get out of here soon. I don't care if I fall back into the living world and fade away as long as I'm free of this place."

Mina and Qahron along with Bashamal talk to the female carpenter she agrees to help them but first they need to help her find her brother Desann who she has not seen all day long and needs to speak to him right after she says that running outside the biggest house in town is Desann with tons of Gold and a family treasure that belonged to his sister that the man stole from her.

So Mina and Qahron at first wanted to take Desann back to the building and then noticed when Desann came in and told them that the person that lives there is rotten to the core and that he just steals from everyone else and keeps for himself everything he stole so once Mina and Qahron hear that they ask Bashamal to stay in town near the Magic School and wait for Kryis to come out they will take Desann and his sister who introduces herself as Jun to the place Shadow was turned to stone Mina gives the Map where she marked it to Bashamal and says give this to Kryis so she can find us. So Bashamal exits the house before anyone knows he is with them and Mina along with Qahron, Desann and Jun the Carpenter all leave for where Shadow was turned to stone once Jun was ready they sneak out and leave town making it to where Shadow is.

Kryis waiting for the teacher to come back look outside a window when the teacher returns with the two people he spoke about the first is a Male Elf and the second is a Female Dragon both very powerful in there own right and the teacher says lady Kryis these are the 2 students I spoke a bit about meet Viad he is a elf male Sorcerer that has a small amount of knowledge in Necromancy. Kryis responds with very useful then the teacher says meet Eimear she is a Dragon Shaman that is very powerful in her beliefs and stay dedicated to whatever she has to do Kryis says another great ally but sir your just going to give me these 2 students of yours without anything in return the teacher replies with there is a reason you came here lady Kryis isn't there.

Kryis tells him I am here to give you these the only known documentation on Wind Magic the teacher then said 2 students for theses very unique and rare documents Lady Kryis that is not enough surely there is something else we can do and give you. If I can have all the documentation on Summons I would very much appreciate it and also is there a way to trap a Wraith in something that until a person is stronger they can fight it.

The Teacher says we only have one document on Summoning and sends a student to go get it then says there is no physical way to trap a Wraith though in the document you will be getting it shows information about a few summons and one is a Wraith maybe you can obtain it. Kryis shakes her head and then \*sighs\* before saying wishful thinking. The teacher says there is one other thing I can do if you don't mind Lady Kryis and Kryis says what is it the teacher replies with letting you in the school no matter what you can come and look for whatever you need your always welcome her and he gives her a permanent pass to enter the Magic School at anytime the pass becomes a Unique Item and she saves it thanking the teacher. The student rushes in with the document and hands it to the teacher that sends the student back to class and tell Viad and Eimear to listen to Lady Kryis and do not get into trouble they nod there heads and say yes sir to the teacher who then hands Kryis the document on Summons that also become a Unique Item and then Viad and Eimear say we should probably go see if there are others that will help Kryis said I sent my other 2 friends to do that already they should be finished lets go.

Kryis walks out the Magic School with Viad and Eimear and sees a dwarf waiting the Dwarf tells her you must be Kryis she shakes her head yes and the Dwarf says my name is Bashamel your two friends Mina and Qahron are outside of town with two more allies name Desaan and Jun. Mina told me to hand this too you a map with the location of your old friend Shadow and said to me wait for you and come with you to that place on the map. Kryis says what are we waiting for lets go so Kryis along with Viad, Eimear and Bashamal leave town and head to the forest on the map they make it to the entrance of the forest before taking a small break.

Slonic shakes his head and stands up and walks back to the clearing with Shadow's stone form. He sits down and closes his eye.

Shadow wandering in the darkness suddenly feels that he is not alone but he still cant see anything around him. He reaches out with his hand and feels a gentle tug on it. He follows the tugging until he is blocked by a wall he cant see. He runs his hand across the wall and then smiles. He can break this wall with ease when he wants to. He sits down to wait for a
bit.

"Shadow if I end up dead because of this your soul will be the first one that I hunt down and kill." Slonic mutters
