Ava backed up and sat down in the grass "No thanks. Im not hungry. But you go right ahead." She looked up at the sky and slowly lowered her back down to the ground forgetting about her wounds. She made a small hiss and sat back up. She brought her knees up to her chest and she wrapped her arms around her legs "So Darhin, tell me about yourself."

Darhin sat down on the grass, holding the peice of deer in his hand, "Not that much to say. I've lived in Calamere for six years or so, I use to be a stable boy at the Silver Drake Inn. It good job, got food on the table you know? It was only this year that I met Karei, Cien, and Cody...who just died recently..." He sighed, he was getting more use to the idea, but it still hurt to know his friend died when he wasn't there. He still wished he could have done something.

"Sorry about your friend." Ava smiled and then turned her eyes to the fire. "Loosing someone is really hard, especially when you know you can't help them." She remember the nights she sat next to her mothers bed praying she would get better, but she only got worse. She flicked her finger and the image was played by the fire. Her eyes glanced down at the ground "I have only been in one place all my life. This is the first time I have left it truthfully." She grinned and looked up at him. The image of a little girl crying next to a bed in the fire disappeared. And it was normal again.

"The same thing is for me. I've lived in Calamere as long as I remember. But things suddenly changed and now I find myself on my own. Its surprising how life can change on ya. Don't even realize it and then your life is changed forever." He sighed leaning back on the ground. "Its pretty late, maybe we should get some rest." It was already dark out, and he knew working with magic could be draining, especially with Ava's handicaps.

Ava snatced a black velvet robe from under her sadle and then draped it ontop of her. She layed down at her side using her arms for a pillow and closed her eyes. After a few minutes she was in a deep sleep to only get a terror for a dream an hour later. Ava saw black and then fire appear in front of her. A image appeared on the fire showing her and her mother playing. But then the fire swarmed her mother. In her sleep she mummbled a "No!" but then she fell silent seeing a fire image of her father approaching a bit older fire image of herself with a whip at his side. She tossed around as if the dream was real, as if she was back at home and he was going to hurt her. "Please..." she whispered in a stressed voice.

Darhin had fallen asleep after Ava did. But his slumber was short, for he woke up a moment later to her talking in her sleep. By the look on her face, and the terror in her voice, he guessed she was having a nightmare, he walked over and gently shoke her, "Wake up Ava, its just a dream, its alright." He said in concern.

The vision of her father cracking the whip on her back was broken when she opened her eyes and stretched out her arm releaseing a powerful flow of fire. The fire set a few patches of grass a flame. She looked up into Darhins eyes and then around seeing the flames. Hot tears were rolling down her cheeks and she slowly got to her feet.

Darhin silently rose his hand, extiquishing the fires. He turned back towards the young girl, seeing her crying and put a comforting hand on her shoulder, "Its alright, its over now." He said quietly, hoping to calm her down.

Ava whiped a few of her tears and shook her head "You don't understand. It will never be over. I went back without him seeing me, and stole some money my mother told me to use when older. I took food, the horse, which is actually mine but he will want it back. He will come looking for me and when he finds me he will either kill me, hurt me, or just take what he wants from me." She sniffled and sat down "And if he doesn't, what he has done will always be there to scare me, haunt me and let me know what happened to me.."

"You can stop this Ava. You can defend yourself. And Karei and I will always be there if you need some help. As for him haunting you...you have to believe that the pain will fade away in time, also you have me or anyone else if you just want to talk..." He said as encouragingly as possible. Distressed to see his new friend so hurt.

Ava stared at the fire "I wont be able to be that quick if someone attacks me. I have to sit there and concentrate. I am easy target at the moment.." She muttered the last sentence and shook her head "i will get better though....but Darhin i don't think I could hurt him. He was my father..."

"I would never ask you to hurt him Ava. All I want you to do is practice your skills, make them stronger, so you can defend yourself if he attacks you. Let the authorites handle his punishment. And I promise, I won't let him hurt you."

Ava nodded and looked up at the sky. It was pitch black with a few stars and the moon. "Thank you....for everything really. Helping me with my powers and understanding." She whiped away her tears and put on a fake smile "I am sorry for waking you. We better get back to bed shouldn't we?" She took her velvet robe and wrapped it around her again then layed down on her side.
(( you can speed up if you wish))

Darhin waited to see if she actually fell asleep before he decided to do the same. Once she was asleep, he laid down on the ground, and fell asleep too. Early the next day, he woke up to see that she was still asleep. Silently he gathered up his things, leaving a handful coins near her resting body, and mounted Harind, and left, ready to visit the next town.

Ava rolled onto to something cold. She opened her eyes to spot a few coins and shook her head. She didn't need them she had plenty. Her intention was to give them back as soon as she saw him again. She got to her feet, gathered up the coins and placed them in her pocket. Faye was already standing and waiting to get tacked up so that is waht she did. She then tied the sack of coins and her box of food at the sadle. She then mounted and placed her velvet cloak infront of her as she started to trot out to the next place.
