"I have plently of supplies at home for two whole family. Most of the good in the market I sold to some of the merchants." Said Na-aida calmly after putting some of the things away then looked children eating their apples for a moment. "Thank you, how much do we owe you?" Asked Papa in a low voice then he began to take some money out of his pocket. "I didn't do it for money." Said Na-aida in a soft voice as she put her hand up to stop him and shake her sligthly at him. "Thank you so much, how can we ever repaid you?" Asked Mama happily as she wiped the tears off joy from her eyes as she was smiling slightly at her. "The smiles on your childrens faces in enough payment for me, not many people still have a pure heart as they do." Said Na-aida sweetly as she was smiling at them before she left they all thanked her again.

Later that evening just adout after the sun had set Na-aida was getting ready to go to bed when she heard barking outside her door after she opened it she seen it was Sunny. "Oh hello Sunny, what are you doing all the way up here girl?" Said Na-aida in a soft voice after she kneeled down to rub her head. After she looked into the Sunny's eyes as she was touching her head she saw the family from earlier trapped in their house that was on fire. Trapped under the table was the little girl in her brother's arm. A beam from the roof had fallen on top of the table trapping them underneath it. The boy had protected his sister from the roof that he had fallen and hit his head. When Na-aida quickly stood up she looked around her and seen that she had been teleported to the front of the house. She could see some of the townspeople running down the hill back to town with some of them holding torches in their hand. Sunny had already ran to the house and was barking at her to follow. She lead Na-aida to the children and try to remove the beam off from the table. The young couple had covered the table from some of the fallen roof to protect the children. They looked like they was beaten up pretty bad by the townspeoples. Na-aida quickly had ran up to the sidr of the beam and started pushing with Sunny pushing the other side. When right before Nie-aida eyes she changed into a great big lion and they pushed the beam off the table. After Nie-orya pulled the children out before she could said anything to the boy as she was picking up his sister he passed out after looking at his sister crying. When the beam was off the table she grabbed the boy. Sunny nugged at the boy and lifted him onto her back and lead them back outside to safety.

Na-aida was shielding the young girl from some of the fallen debris until they was completely outside. The young girl looked down at her brother on Sunny's back before started crying loudly as she was looking back at the house with tears running down her face. Then Sunny sat the boy gentle down on the ground and ran back inside to children's father. She pushed his away arms to reveal the book he was holding and toke it in her mouth and ran back to the young girl outside. Na-aida kneeled down and she dropped the book in her hand. She seen it had a Nie-orya a mage seal on it with some of the corners was slightly burnt. The young girl toke the book from her hand after she looked at it, she stopped crying as she was holding it tightly to her chest with her face buried into Nie-orya's shoulder. Sunny lifted the boy back on her back and looked back at Na-aida to follow her back to her house. When they got to the house she lay the girl in her bed she tired to take the book from her but she was still holding it tightly in her arm as she was sleeping. She came back to Sunny and the boy in the living room, Sunny had layed the boy down on the couch and was licking his wounds, Nie-orya started to tend to his wounds with a clean towel and warm water. "You three was very brave." Said Na-aida in a low soft as she clean the boy's wounds and was started to wrap bandages on them as she was looking at him sadly. Sunny nodded to her and walked back to the room to the young girl, as she was walking back to her she changing back into a young golden puppy.

"And ever since that day those two same kids have been causing me all kinds of trouble, just like someone else here who was causing trouble in town today." Said Na-aida strongly as she was now glaring sharply at him. He looked at her and started rubbed on his neck nervouly as he was starting to blush in embarrassment. "But this time Nie-orya I'm not getting mix up in anymore of your problems. So that girl in the other room is your responsibility making her your problem so you the only that can figure how to fix it." Said Na-aida sharply at her after she looked at her as she was looking down the hallway to one of the room. When Nie-orya looked back at her she nodded to that she understood before she started to look back down the hall. "So where is your brother now? I didn't sense another mage here when I came in but I did sence some kind of powers from a mage but it feels like it just has been unlocked." Said Oku calmly as he was smiling at Nie-orya for a moment before the sound of his voice snapped her back to reality. "I'm sorry to say my brother wasn't born with magic powers but is a great figther because no one can ever seem to hear him coming." Said Nie-orya in a soft voice before she started to covered her mouth after she looked behind him for a moment before she smiling slightly back at him as she was looking at him.

She had looked at her brother that had appeared behind him and slapped him on the back before he spoke. "So who the young lad here making my sister smile like this? I thought I was the only one able to make her smile and laugh like this." Said Leo strongly as he was rubbing the young boy's hair as he was smiling at him. "Whoo! You wasn't joking about him!" Said Oku in surprise after he quickly turning around to him and started to back away from him until his was standing beside Mother Na-aida. Nie-orya laughed at him a little as she was covering her mouth as she was smiling sligthly at him. "Mother Na-aida said she found him in the square taking about magic." Said Nie-orya calmly after she got herself back together and smiling slightly at her brother. "So you found another mage that can help around this place. I'll tell you lad the place is way to big for just me and my sister to handle all by ourselves. I hope your up the tasks Mother Na-aida has us do around here lad. So what do we call you or should I just keep calling you calling you lad." Said Leo in a cheerfull voice as he was smiling at him.

"Oh, Im sorry for not introducing myself I was overwhelmed by the surprise welcome from Sunny here earlier, my name is Oku Ory Hen-shoe." Said Oku quickly then looking down at Sunny with a warm smile then at Nie-orya and the others. "Nice to met you, Oku right, name's Leo, Leo Maketow. Sorry about my sister here she been in a daze a lot more lately than usually." Said Leo calmly to him then he looking at Nie-orya as she was looking down the hallway behind him in a daze before he flicked her forehead which snapped her back to reality. "Hey! I told you not to do that anymore!!!" Said Nie-orya shaply as she was rubbing her forehead with her glared at him for a moment. "But I can't help it when you look like that." Said Leo cheekily as he was back away from her as she was looking at him even sharper. He smiled slightly at her then she looked at Oku and smiled at him. "I'm sorry about that, I havr been quite out of it lately like my brother here said. (She glared at Leo who just smiled at her for a moment before he looked away from her) My name is Nie-orya Maketow and you already met Sunny here." Said Nie-orya sweetly then looked down at Sunny as she was gentle rubbing Sunny's head.

Oku smiled down at Sunny who nodded her head up at him to say hello to him. Then he looked up at Nie-orya and gave her a warm smile as his was starting to blush a little as he was thinking how beautiful she was. "Hey I know that look on your face. What are you thinking in that little brain of yours lad?" Asked Leo strongly after he walked up to him and started to rub his hair again. "Hey!! I wasn't thinking about anything." Said Oku quickly to him after pushing his hand away as his face was now completely red. "You thinking something because your face is now all bright red. (he puts his arm around him) Hey let me tell you something, no one but you has seems to be able to get near my sister without Sunny's approval first, so you're alright with me if Sunny like you." Said Leo calmly then he removed his arm and slapped him on the back really hard. "I'm glad to know that." Said Oku quickly after he was pushed forward. He almost fell forward after he stepped towards Nie-orya and smiled slightly at her after he looked up at her after he stopped himself from falling forward.

"I like to show you something but first could you hold this for me." Said Nie-orya calmly after she handed him the bowl of water from earlier that was now warm enough to touch then she picked up the bandages that was beside it after putting a towel in it. "Umm! Yeah, but may I ask what you want to show me." Asked Oku nervously after he toke the bowl from her. "My brother mentioned that I have been out of it a lot lately staring into space. Me and my brother started to live here after what happened to our parents. The last thing my parents was teaching me adout was healing magic for a few months before the day. (She looked down at the ground then back up at him) With you being a mage yourself should know that a long time ago people of all kinds looked up to mage for help and guidance in learning more about their own strengths to live in this world better. But because of some men wanting to use our power for their own greed or to start wars not many mages was known to the world to be born during these times and only a child with a pure heart was chosen to be born with the power of magic after. That is what caused the myths of mages powers to be told to people that it comes from demons." Said Nie-orya calmly then she looked at her brother and smiled at him before she started walked down the hallway. Sunny and him headed outside to cut some more firewood and do his other chores.

"Yes that what all children with the gift of magic is told… sometimes during their life." Said Oku in a low voice as he was looking down at the bowl with a sad face. "Your just learning about the mages history aren't you?" Asked Nie-orya with a little surprise in her voice after she stopped in front of the last room down the hall and looked back at him. "Yeah, my parents weren't born as mages so I been traveling the world to find someone like myself to teach me which has been pretty hard for me to do because so many are hidden throughout the world." Said Oku sadly as he was looking down to his side. "Looks like you came to the right place, down the other hall is a another room just like this one for you to practice and study your magic in safely." Said Nie-orya in a soft sweet voice then she grabbed his head and lifted it up by his chin causing him to blush as she was smiling at him. "Tha… thank you." Said Oku shyly then smiled sligthly at her for a moment after she let he go and stepped back to the door. "This house use to be a inn for travelers like yourself, it can be a lot of work sometime for me and my brother to take care of. I picked this room because it has no windows so I can study and practice my magic without anyone outside knowing, we can set up the other room for you after and start on your studies on you magic." Said Nie-orya sweetly then she opened the door to the room and they entered it.

The room was full with all kinds of plants that was touched by magic. Oku seen small little shining lights and small clouds full of water flying around that was watering the plants and shining a sun like light on them. There was a divider between two small room with beds in them that was in the far corners of the room. In one of the bed Oku seen a young girl laying in it that had almost her whole body wrapped up in bandages. Nie-orya walked over to the side of the bed she was laying on and pulled a chair up her and the bed before sat beside the young girl. "I noticed earlier that you carry a sword with you." Said Nie-orya in a calm soft voice before she looked up at him. "Yes, my father gave it to me before I left home. Since he couldn't teach me much about my powers he tought me how to use a sword." Said Oku in a soft voice with a puzzled look because he didn't understand why she was interested beening that she was a girl and all. "Can I trust you to not drop that bowl in order to draw it?" Asked Nie-orya calmly as she was now looking at him seriously. "Umm!! Yes, but why would you asked something like?" Said Oku in a confused voice with him more puzzled than before.

"So you promise you won't drop that bowl and if you do Mother Na-aida will be very mad at you which won't be good for you after what you did earlier in town." Said Nie-orya strongly as she was raising a eyebrow at him as she was looking at him sternly for a moment. "I promise I won't drop this bowl to draw my sword for whatever means, cross my heart which I won't because I don't want to drop it." Said Oku strongly then he smiled slightly at her as she was laughing a little at him before she looked back at the young girl. "You was right Ikyo he is nice… and his really cute." Said Nie-orya in a low soft as she was smiling back at the girl as she was looking at her. Oku turned his head to the side then he started blushing as she was looking back at him. "Mother Na-aida mentioned earlier of a strange girl I have been taking care of." Said Na-aida in a soft voice as she was brushing some of Ikyo's hair back. She opened her eyes just enough for Oku to noticed that her right eye was a amber like color as the left ear was white like blue color. He didn't notice until that the rest of her hair was white when her hair that was shorter on her side was black until Nie-orya had brushed her hair back again after Ikyo sat up and lay her head on her lap as Nie-orya was now sitting up against the head board of the bed as she was now laying beside her.

"I don't understand, what did you wanted to show me?" Asked Oku in a confused voice after she looked at him and the chair beside her to sit down. "Ikyo here is one of the gifted children born during the time mages was being hunted that I mentioned earlier, but as you can see she in a sleep like trance for some reason I think it is from some healing herbs I gave her from my garden in here. And that power you sensed when you entered the house well that powers is from her." Said Nie-orya in a soft calm voice after she looked at up at him.
