???

The man walked upon the Eilfein shore, along the Weeping Sea, listening to the calm rhythm of the sea as he strolled across the beach. It has not been long since he headed down there, but I can not help but feel there is something to worry about...

Flashback

"Are you sure you'll be alright?" the man asked.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," had been the answer. "It's my brother and..."

"My son. Do not worry about my ease of mind."

"...my brother and your son. They're the ones I'm worried about."

"It is a dangerous world down there."

"Then why don't you come?"

"It would wreak havoc on the mortal realms if I was not present in them. I will simply have to suffer waiting for news from you when you come back up."

"Alright, then. Good luck up here."

"Good luck to you, too. But, you realize, without you, the laguz ambassador, what may happen..."

"I know."

Flashfoward

The man snapped out of his recollections. Something is stirring...nearby, thankfully. He strode forward, towards the waves. Guardian of the Orb of Water, what are you bringing to us? Muttering a chant, the tides receded, leaving behind a coughing man. The stranger looked young enough despite the white hair.

Odd...where does this man come from? "Who are you?" he asked the strange man. The man looked up, muttering something unintelligible. Guardians of the Sea, you have brought us a foreigner? His fingers touched the strange man with white hair's forehead as he spoke a spell.

"What did you given me?" the white-haired man asked.

"The language we have in Avilas, the world you are in," the man answered.

"...you own a language?" the strange foreigner asked, looking horrified.

"...own a language? No...forgive me, it is the way we speak here. Here, I'll tell you all about this place, but...what is your name, stranger?" the man asked kindly/

"My name?"

"Your name."

"I don't own a name."

"Then...what is the name?"

"The name is Inerus."

A Year Later

Inerus sat quietly in the inn, observing everyone as they came in. He had been on this strange land for a year, this place where everyone was an owner. They owned things here...there was only pity he could feel for these people. Or, Inerus would feel pity if half of the nation that he was living in weren't trying to kill him. Apparently, this Eilfein didn't want a foreigner.

"We have gathered to help this man, Inerus," someone standing at a table announced. "This one from another land...people here want to kill him! What should we do?"

"I say we take our swords and fight against all those who have their wills against him!" a voice roared. Inerus shuddered a bit. Our swords. Their wills. More ownership.

"Impossible. The government itself is set against Inerus," another argued. "We should pretend he committed suicide, and keep him in hiding..."

"Then what would be the point of his staying here?" another said. "Inerus, how do you get back to where you came from?"

"...I washed up on shore, here," Inerus answered. "I don't know. I was caught in a storm and washed up on what you call the Weeping Sea." He could hear some whispering, saying he was insane. According to everyone, the Weeping Sea hadn't had a storm since the everlasting one faded, about five hundred years ago.

"We can take him to Haushalt," another suggested. "The neutral zone." There were murmurs of agreement. "We will need to designate a guard to take him-" The person talking suddenly collapsed, the body writhing. The body, not his body. That would mean the body was owned and enslaved.

The doors opened and soldiers stormed in. "In the name of the democracy of Eilfein, you are all to be put under arrest! The man named Inerus shall be put to death!" Immediately, with the black cloak Inerus was wearing, he rushed outside of the inn, to the back. "After him!" He could hear the sounds of the battle behind him.

How am I going to get out of here? The soldiers will be everywhere...

[size=7]Levin[/size]

Levin had his order from his superiors, and he would carry it out. Capture the man named Inerus and take him back to the castle, where he will be executed. It seemed easy enough, but Levin had hardly any leads. There were two other soldiers assisting him. Levin had command over their actions. If he wanted, he could send them to death. A soldier was simply a pawn anyway. Levin had a feeling of superiority as he led them both through the city. They followed his every word without question.

"Sir-"

"Shut up," Levin cut him off, holding out his hand to stop both soldiers. Did he just hear something?

"But-"

"Be quiet for a second."

Behind the inn... there seemed to be some sort of commotion.

"You two, get your worthless lives behind the inn. I'll go around the other way."

The soldiers listened to this order, even though it was a terrible thing for Levin to say. He didn't care, however. He drew his blade and ran to the other side of the inn.
Farewell.

The ground is shaking...or is that the body? Inerus thought. Probably both... Then, he paused. There was the sound of someone drawing nearer. Friend or foe? And do I want to find out?

The man Levin had just now laid his eyes on matched the description of Inerus perfectly. Levin drew his sword and pointed it at him, while the guards closed in on him from behind.

"You're under arrest," Levin said calmly. "If you don't resist, I won't kill you right here."
Farewell.

He had been watching the foreigner for quite some time, shadowing him almost everywhere he went. He was occassionally sidetracked by something else he was hunting on and off. But this man, he believed his name was Levin, was interfering with the hunt. He hated it when people interfered with the hunt. He slipped an arrow into his wristbow, and took aim for the ground in between them. These arrows were a gift from his thrice damned father, and it was the only thing Omen thanked him for.

But no one here knows what I can do, the gift that I can use, Inerus thought. He focused on the weapons the two guards behind him held, hearing the startled cries the soldiers made. Using the gift, Inerus sent the weapons flying as soon as they broke free of the hands the soldiers held the blades with (man, it's awkward typing without possessive nouns).

While the soldiers were distracted with this ability to move things, Inerus fled.

The ability won't aid me completely, Inerus thought. I need transport to Haushalt...

Then, a knife at his throat.

Cadra

Cadra smirked as she eyed the two men chasing after that man, Inerus. Really badly, too. She relaxed as she kept the knife's blade pressed against the man's throat, relaxed enough for him to feel calm, but ready enough for her to fake an attack at any moment. "Either of you have money on you to trade?"

"In that case, I'll have to find someone who will buy him," Cadra sighed. She smiled as she finished the job on her palm with her knife. Raising her left hand up, Cadra revealed a kanji, written in blood. It shone brightly before both of them vanished, Cadra leaving a note.

Done, the man can have the paper now... Omen handed the man the paper, it was crumpled up, and the tracking spell seemed to have aged the paper, making it yellow, and somewhat stiff. "Good day." He said flatly, walking off, the tracking spell guiding his feet.

Levin crumpled the paper up in his hand. He wasn't planning to give into that girl's demands, even though her price was a pitiful amount. It wouldn't even leave a dent in the royal treasury.

"Let's go," Levin commanded, feeling slightly annoyed right now. He led the soldiers back to the castle.

Inerus

"Where am I?" Inerus asked the kidnapper. "What are you going to do with me?" He sat down in a meditating position, to ease the mind as he was answered.

"Well, I set your journey back a bit," the thief explained. "In an abandoned town. About five hundred and thirty years ago, the country of Xenzin, before Haushalt was made, was at war with Eilfein, and raided the towns. This place, people never came back to."

"How did you set the journey back?"

"Well, you were at the capital, before. Right now, we're somewhere in the western areas of Eilfein. It's a bit further away, but a lot safer."

"What do you plan to do? Sell me?"

"Sort of." The thief was casually throwing the knife up and down.

"But you do not own me!"

"Doesn't matter. Look, I'm going to help get you into Haushalt, alright? Those people will love you there, so much, I might get a nice, fat reward. If not, you agree to let me be your escort around everywhere, so I can pickpocket some nice, fat purses. Win-win situation, right?" Inerus hesitated before nodding. "Smart move."

"What is the name?"

"The name of..." Inerus sighed.

"What is...your...name?" Inerus repeated, feeling his stomach lurch at the word "your." The thief thought for a moment, considering this. "This will be a journey where we will have to trust each other."

"Cadra."

"Inerus."

The tracking spell lead him to an abandonded town. "Made good time." He mused, walking through the ruined gates, he took a running leap, over a ten foot gorge. "Someone went through a lot of trouble to make that." He noted.

"Are there others aiding me?" Inerus asked Cadra. She turned around, shaking the head.

"Nope, I work alone. But if we find anyone sympathetic, we could convince them," Cadra answered, taking out a dagger. "Stay here. Someone's coming...on second thought, run, get out of the town. What I might do won't be pretty." Inerus nodded, running off out the gates.

"This is... interesting," Leon said to himself as he stepped into an abandoned village. It looked pretty worn down by time, however...

Wait, this town wasn't abandoned. Leon could hear voices coming from just around the corner, actually. He pressed himself up against the wall and slowly moved down the wall, his sword drawn.

"Who would be in a place like this?" Leon asked himself.

~Toremi~

"I'm blue, dah boo dee day boo dah . . . " The girl hummed quietly to herself as she gently glided through the air, one hand locked securely around the broom and the other clamped onto her billowing scarf. It was quite true, really. The broom was painted navy, Toremi herself was decked out in blues and greens pretty as a wildflower, and even her hair seemed to carry a faint tint of the color (though it was mostly silvery white). Overall, she was quite pleased with the effects of the application of the illusionist magic mixed with the drosera dye. Perhaps she would even patent the idea.

"I am someone's girlfriend and I am so blue . . . " She was so busy singing and thinking that she didn't quite notice the flock of seagulls that were coming her way. "Blue are the people here that walk around, Blue like my broom, it's in and outside. Blue are the words I say and I t -- Holy swablu!"

With a massive flurry of feathers and scarves, Toremi crashed headlong into the swarm and screamed in terror as the angry birds began to attack viciously. Holding her arms up to protect her face, she uncovered the flight kanji pasted over the broom stick and failed to realize that it was made of paper. In seconds, it was in ribbons, and Toremi gasped.

"Oh Lea no!" And down she went. Right towards a small town. Which, of course, had a clock tower. Which, of course, she was going to slam into. "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

" . . . Pillows? What on earth?" She coughed up some dust before turning to look at the author. "A bit overuse of deus ex machina, don't you think?" To which the author gladly erased away the pillows and allowed his character to suddenly shriek as the five-story high stack of bedding disappeared. *CRASH* With a splutter, the front door coughed out a very dazed and unhappy Toremi right into the middle of the street.
