The boy lifted his eyelids. His solid pupils looked like mud. They were so large and round already, yet they became larger and rounder on sighting the small group. He jumped to his feet, the dizziness of his blow to the head hitting him at once. He cared not though. He ran strait for Cari, shouting words that were distorted by his weariness. K stood in his way, and the boy darted to the side. Cari backed away, frightened. A passerby pointed, "There is the maniac who burned the smith's shop!" Others stopped to stare, both fasinated and disturbed. The boy suddenly saw Fafnir and jumped, "A dragon!" He habitually made a movement to draw his sword but the binding stopped him.

In a flash of speed Clay's sword was suddenly pointed at the boy's throat. 'Noo one draws a sword against my dragon.', he said meanacingly. 'Expecialy not some defenceless shackled boy like yooh.' Fafnir growled. 'What's the big idea, burning peoples shops?'

"Kendiana! You know me!" The boy turned his attention to Cari again, "I cannot help it. Who are your friends?" He looked the other men over and inched closer to the girl, "Dear sir, I was surprised. As he did not move to attack, I realized that he was not a threat. Please withdraw your weapon. I am no danger," Cari just looked on at the boy, puzzled, "Who are you? You are mistaken," The young man looked hurt, "Are you angry at me, love?" Now Cari was disgusted. She wanted to slap the deranged young man, "I am now," K patted the hilt of his sword to warn the criminal as he turned northward. K whispered to Clay, "Make sure that he does not follow us. The madman will give us away,"

Clay grined, understanding, he nodded. 'Aye.. I'll see wha I can doo..' He grabed the crazy boy and asked the villagers for some rope. he looked back over his shoulder at K. 'Yeh go on ahead of meh. I'll catch up.'
Fafnir looked at Cari and K, he was still not entirely sure of what was going on...

"We will wait for you in the forest," K muttered as he tugged on Fafnir's leash. Cari stopped to look back, "I do not hurt him!" She cried suddenly. Not knowing what had come over her, Cari obeyed the pull on her hand from the impatient man. The boy struggled and swirmed. His was scrawny and short, so he made a difficult captive even with his shackles and bounds. "Oh no, let me follow her!" He cried, "I know her! Let me mend my mistake at the least! I can not bare her angry at me..."

'Sorry booy. I cant just let yeh goo. Ferst, yer too loud. Second, well... yer just plain lost yer mind.', Clay said with a strange grin. 'Tell yeh what.', he began, 'if yeh be quiet, and doont doo anything stupid, Ye can come along. But I warn yooh.. Any tricks, and I woont have a choice eh?', he said as he patted the leather wraped hilt on his sword.
((okay, fine, One more =D))

The young man nodded, "I will be quiet," He looked for his own sword. It had been taken away, "Oh, curse them! Curse me!" He grinned, "They took my sword!" He began heading after the other two, "That does not matter now; I have found Kendiana again!" He was truly excited and almost surprised, but he kept all other emotion in. He suddenly turned to look at Clay, "When did you meet her?" He asked suspiciously.

'Who? I doont know a "Kendiana" I think... and if yer referring to this "K".. hes a man right?' Clay looked back to the strange boy. 'Only "she" i've met lately was Cari.', he said with a hopeless sigh. Clay began to jog a bit faster now towards the forest, hoping this deranged young man wouldnt get him into.. to much touble.

"Cari?" The other man cocked his head to one side, "Is that what she is calling herself?" He grinned, "Oh, now I see. I will change my name as well. You may call me Pyro. And who are you, sir?" He took easy strides, but his eyes belied his anxiousness. "And who is this 'K'? He is surely not the person I meant. I am not glad to see him despite my lack of knowledge of him. He is much too close to 'Cari' as she now calls herself." He spoke as though he were an insulted lord waving his sword above his head, yet he still smiled. "Where are we going?" ((gosh, I need better dragon characters! It's driving me nuts! I think I might make another one... XD))

((hehe =P)) 'Aye, Pyro is it? Me name's Clay.', said he, akwardly. 'I know jist aboot as much as yeh do about this K person... But I believe I've seen im before...'. Clay looked very suspicious of Pyro, but asked no questions. 'I believe I've joost been recruited for a battle of some sort... that's where weer goin'. Wee'll meet the others in the woods just there.' He said as they approached the nearby forest. Clay gave in to the urge to ask. 'What do yeh know aboot this Cari?'

Pyro let a small sigh escape, "Everything," He smiled. "So, we are going to battle? I suppose a bit of practice is in order. When we reach our destination, we should do mock combat. First, I will need a new sword."

'Eh? sure =P I'm curious as to yer fighting skills aswell, and must admit.. I am a bit rusty and would like some practise... But what happened to the sword you had? Did K take it?', Clay asked, suddenly noticing the empty sheath at Pyro's side.

Pyro shook his head, "The villagers must have after I was knocked unconscious. -'twas not the first time this has happened to me. I am mad." He grinned almost wickedly for a moment as though telling a great joke. They had just reached the woods, when K jumped out from behind a tree, pointing a finger strait at Clay's nose, "Why is he with you?" He growled angrily. Pyro made a bee line for Cari, "You are calling yourself, 'Cari' now? Good fun. You may call me 'Pyro'," He winked flirtatiously as though part of an inside joke. Cari backed away, "Why is he here?" She shot Clay a glare, pointing out her situation.

Clay looked at them all wide eyed. Sooo many questions! 'I- he- we!' he said, 'He says he knows Cari! He said he'd be quiet, and quiet he was! I decided to bring him with us.', he said looking up into K's angry eyes. 'He can be me responsability!', Clay exclaimed quickly.

Pyro looked at Clay, surprised, but said nothing of his comment. K folded his arms in disaproval, "A useless lunatic to take up a bed and eat our food; I think not." "I am not useless, sir," Pyro stated, "Loosen my bounds and I will show you my skill," "I will not risk the safety of the others," K took Cari's hand and motioned for Clay to follow. Pyro went with them. "I will not leave Kendiana," He said, determined. K sighed. "I suppose this would be a good time to test the skills of our new recruit. Precarious, stand farther back. I will remove his ropes and Clay can test his swordsmanship." ((lol, I really want some action here.))

Clay looked surprised at K's suggestion, and paused for a moment, reluctantly before unbuckling his sword and pulling it form his sheath. The long this sword was curved at the tip, and had Bright yellow gems on the simplistic hilt. 'What aboot him? Is ee supposed to feight bare handed?', asked clay remembering that his opponent was swordless at the moment.

K unsheathed his own sword and held it out to Pyro, "It may be heavy. Do you know how to hold it correctly?" Pyro gave a smirk, tossing off the cut ropes around his wrists. His left hand dropped lifelessly to his side while his right whipped up, taking the hilt of K's sword and giving it a good swing. "Should your dead arm be tied behind your back?" Cari shouted over to them. How had she remembered that? Perhaps she really did know the boy. "I will be fine for now, Love," Cari grimaced. K stood between the two, turning to Clay, "Do not hurt him. If you can, intimidate him and he may leave peacefully." Cari overheard and glanced at Pyro. By the look on his face, he was prepared for a fight... and confident.

Clay noticed as Pyro's arm fell useless at his side. He wondered how this would affect things. He wondered how it happened... 'Reight!' he said with a grin, 'Be ready! I'm commin atcha!', and he lunged forward stabing straight at Pyro with the curved tip of his sword!

Pyro dodged it in a hop to the side. He was not very fast, but his movement gave the impression that he was. He turned his body around and slashed toward Clay's right side. "I am always ready," He grinned.
