Harmonia awakens and sits up on the bed, looking at the three others in the room. "What did I miss? When did Rosaro get here, and why is she chained up..?" she'd ask, before looking to Shadow quizzically "Your eyes... They're black, doesn't that mean you should be fighting?" she asked, curious as to why Shadow hadn't lost his senses like before. "It's... Complicated.. For now, Rosaro got here shortly after you fell asleep, she wanted to challenge you, but you were injured so I fought with her.. After awhile, we settled on talking.. Sort of... And then Thorn woke up, the other Shadow was worried about her, and Rosaro flipped out, which led Thorn to this.. And, that about sums it up." Shadow said, shrugging a bit, staring over to Rosaro. "She's troublesome.. Such a hot temper over something out of everyone's control.. She blames me for what the Black Mage did to her village." he let out with a sigh.

"you were a fool to provoke me" muttered Thorn her trance starting to wear off her body shaking from the strain "you all have no idea the depths of my suffering..............my turmoil.............to wake up one day cold............alone..............stealing to survive that and much more is what I had to deal with when I woke up form the ice! you're torment is nothing!" Thorn exclaimed angrily at Rosaro "the only person who understood me was Evan and she has stopped contacting me..............we went to infiltrate a mine and after we got separated I ended up here............she showed such promise at sneaking to.........."she muttered more to herself then anyone. the more she thought about her pained memories the angrier she got and the tighter the chains constricted causing more heat and pain causing Rosaro to growl in pain amazed at how much focus the girl in front of her possessed to keep her contained for so long, "THAT'S ENOUGH THORN!" called a masculine voice that had a tone of sneakiness in it as Phantom walked in and then started towards her slowly "Thorn enough let her go do you really want to follow in you're fathers footsteps? at this point that's what you're doing." he said cautioning her putting a hand on her shoulder snapping her out of her rage, "I...........I don't know what came over me......." Thorn said almost sleepily as the chains vanished dropping Rosaro in an unconscious heap on the floor.

Shadow slid from the bed and stepped over to Thorn "I need to know now, do you want Shadow to know that you're the daughter of the Black Mage? I can keep him from finding out, at least for now.. Until a point that you yourself are ready to tell him.. It's entirely up to you." he said quietly, eyes already starting to fade back into a slight blue, very slowly. He stared Thorn in the eyes while he awaited an answer, his scythe, while laying on the bed, returned to its rusted state. Alright, Shadow, the stage is all yours now.. I'll interfere with your new life as little as I can.. His eyes turned to a brighter blue, blinking a few times in confusion. "What happened..? Why's Rosaro unconscious? D... Did I pass out?" he asked, before looking to Thorn curiously "I guess it was you.. Heh.. Good job, Thorn." he said in a cheerful tone, completely clueless of what had happened.

before his eyes had gone completely blue again Thorn muttered to him silently "yes keep it from him...........he doesn't need to know that yet.........." as he turned back to normal Thorn shook her head as he tried to put the credit on her, "no it was all you, it was who you protected me and Hellin" she said smiling lightly "I must go to the library..............I leave you in their hands unless you want to come with me shadow." Thorn turned and nodded to the door walking out to speak with him alone, "what is it phantom? I don't suppose you came here to chat did you?" Thorn asked slightly defensive knowing Phantoms history with women, "hey now what makes you say that? I do sometimes enjoy chatting with old friends." said Phantom giving him his signature smile and hair flip grinning dejectedly when Thorn gives him her signature 'really?' look, "okay you caught me I heard there was a creepy looking girl running around leafre and since Evan is still on a mission I figured I would come check it out since I am you're next best friend." said Phantom smiling again, Thorn sighed she could understand being tracked down but to be described as creepy was to much, "and you came just to check on me?" asked Thorn slightly confused. "well............we both know you're emotional record isn't the best Thorn even you have to admit that at least..................since you started learning to control you're father's power." Phantom said placing a friendly hand on her shoulder, "we are only concerned for you Thorn it's not that we don't trust you we just worry about what could happen if you fully lose control.". "I see............I am glad you guys are concerned but I am just fine I have more control then the time I destroyed half of henesys!" exclaimed Thorn rather loudly, "besides I believe I made up for that anyways I even paid for the repairs and did them myself as repayment." she said sadly remembering that day.

Shadow gave a nervous chuckle at hearing that, and seeing the smile. He gave a bit of a nod and looked to Harmonia, "Where can I find Griffey? I'm going to prove my worth to train." he said with a grin, reaching over to the bed to grab his scythe. Harmonia gives a bit of a prideful scoff before a soft smile. "Well, boy.. If you think you can handle it, it shouldn't be a problem to go and find Griffey yourself.. After you do, come back here and I'll see what I can teach you." she said, Shadow replying with a nod. He stepped outside just as Phantom and Thorn were finished talking, giving a warm smile to Thorn. "I'm going to go fight Griffey now," he said,"I'll come find you at the library I hope afterward. Stay safe, and good luck if you should have to go for another mission." he gave a wider smile to Thorn as he walked into the forest.

"There is no need to do that." harmonia said weakly struggling to get up still in pain from the attack she received I want you to go with Thorn anyways. the hero's don't track people down for a pleasant chat especialy her she is the best infiltrator that kerning city has to offer plus I hear she owes one of the hero's her life." harmonia said shakily rising to her feet but quickly falling to her knees from pain, hellin rushed to her side as fast as her injury would allow the most damage was done to her left shoulder/arm crippling her main dagger arm, "shadow you have to learn to control you're power much the same way Thorn did her power is mostly triggered by emotion whether it is rage or sadness, we think if she practices enough she can control it at will she is getting better at not losing control but she has a long way to go." hellin said to shadow as encouragement. "there is no telling whether her methods will be good for you but it is a place to start right?" harmonia said lightly still amazed at how easily he had beaten her.

Shadow stopped in his tracks at hearing Harmonia say that, turning around. He also rushed over to Harmonia when she fell to her knees, helping her up. "Alright.. I'll go with Thorn, then.. It's going to sound odd but, I didn't want to leave her anyway.. Even though I get such a weird sensation around her." He said, helping Harmonia back into bed. "But, you two need to rest. I'm sorry that it's my fault you both got hurt.." he let out, lowering his eyes away from them, before giving a quick bow and walking away. He wandered a Leafre forest in the general direction back to the village by what he remembered, making his way to the library. "Hey, Thorn.. The masters said I should come with you.." he called as he stepped into the building, placing his scythe at the door. "They said that I need to learn to control my power, like you had.."

Thorn was still deep in a slightly heated discussion with Phantom she blushed heavily and punched him in the shoulder as he just laughed but soon everything was back to business, "I want you to go to the cave of life and take down horntail he has been terrorizing the halflingers for weeks and they have finally put in a formal request for us to take care of it and since we know that big creatures are you're specialty you fit the bill for the job." said phantom smiling apologetically at her, "Mercedes?" asked Thorn, phantom nodded "Mercedes" Thorn knew the self proclaimed queen of the elves a virtually dead race would have a vendetta against her for beating her in a drill "well how long do we have and what is our reward going to be?" asked Thorn wondering what kind of reward the halflingers had cooked up for this mission chief tatomo wouldn't say but he said it would be worth it." said Phantom shrugging helplessly, "I see.........well I guess I shall leave right away then." said Thorn turning to walk past shadow with a sigh stopping when Phantom cleared his throat, "there is one thing I forgot...............I want you to take shadow with you as a personal favor it might just give him the push he needs to start learning control over his power." said Phantom looking at the boy, Thorn stiffened when he even considered sending shadow with her, "that is out of the question I will not ask someone I just met today to risk their life for me." said Thorn stubbornly walking towards the door again.

Shadow stood near the door while the two finished their conversation. He looked at Phantom curiously when he said that he'd be going with Thorn. He placed a hand on Thorns shoulder and smiled at her "It's okay, Thorn.. I don't mind coming to help you out. It would be a pleasure, really. After all, you're the first person I actually met since losing my past, so... I don't want you to go alone." he'd say, smiling wider. "Besides, I need to do this for my own reasons, too. I have to learn to hold my own power.." he'd let out quietly, reaching to the door to grab up his scythe. He chuckled and gave a slight wave to Phantom before returning his attention to Thorn, smirking a bit "And, I'd still follow you anyway." he'd chuckle out, motioning to the door "So why don't you just lead the way?"

Thorn smirked a little and walked into the shadow of a book shelf vanishing, stepping out near the cave of life's entrance and past the sleeping draconian guard "this will be a cake walk." she muttered to her self drawing her dagger and katara the cloth still over her eyes stepping into one of the main chambers leading towards the crystal in the heart of the cavern stumbling as the ground begins to shake ans a hissing sound coming from directly in front of her she sensed something massive coming towards her the hiss sounded reptilian "and it begins" she mutters to herself as a mirror image of her walks form the shadows and stands next to her she charged forward as soon as she felt it was all the way in the corridor her image following her every movement unleashing flurry after flurry of strikes all causing the creature to hiss in rage and pain the daggers weren't cutting in much but it was enough to cause pain, "come on is that the best you got?!?" she bellowed challenging the creature hearing it hiss angrily before retreating out of the corridor, she chased after it feeling herself come into another corridor hearing the hissing come from behind her this time she barely had time to jump to her right before she felt intense heat wash over where she had just been, "oh lovely he can breath fire............." muttered Thorn to herself unleashing even more attacks the chain she kept up her right sleeve blurring in movements in between her attacks "COME ON YOU WANT SOME METAL!?!" she laughed manically hearing the creature hiss like it was annoyed at her challenge and interference she felt a greater energy coming from the direction behind her assuming it to be the crystal she ran in that direction coming to a stop in a third corridor jumping back right a third head busts through the wall with a blast of ice flowing from it's massive maw right at thorn.
she felt cold extremely cold but she had to keep fighting moving would warm her up quickly so she resumed her full out attack infusing some of her dark power into her blades and chain causing every wound she gave the creature to be deeper and more severe this head had more sense then the others and retreated shortly after her assault started and retreated to the final chamber it's every footstep causing Thorn to stumble and lose her footing as she ran after it coming into a vast chamber with a crystal in the center of the room as horntail landed in front of it hissing angrily flapping it's powerfull wings sending her flying back and hitting her head on the wall knocking the breath out of her and knocking her slightly senseless.

Shadow tilted his head a bit as Thorn walked to the bookshelf, eyes widening as she'd vanish. He walked over and tapped the wall, letting out a sigh "Can you tell me how to reach Horntail?" he asked quietly. Phantom would give directions and a moment later Shadow would be sprinting through Leafre and the forest toward the Cave of Life. He avoided the monsters and upon reaching the cave, slung his scythe around the sleeping guard, quickly and easily lopping off it's head. Before it even vanished into black, he'd be running through the cave, listening for the signs of the battle. "Thorn!" he'd call out, reaching the chamber just as she was knocked against the wall. Shadow gripped his scythe tightly as the dragon lifted it's foot to stomp on Thorn, which would be stopped in an instant by a hand. "You will not touch her." he said, voice deepening and gaining an agitated tone. His clothes and skin slowly slid into blackness, scythe morphing into a true bone-scythe. He swung one end of the double scythe, sending the dragon fumbling backward. Specter turned his head to give a slight grin at Thorn, red eyes twinkling. "My Lady." he'd let out, reaching a hand down to help her to her feet.

Thorn's vision had turned completely blurry she could barely make anything out she struggled for breath it felt like the back of her head might have been bleeding but she lacked the energy to reach back to check at the moment. the longer she sat there dazed the easier she found it to breath and her vision began to clear about the time a strange form offered her a hand and muttered 'my lady' to her, her ears were ringing from how loud the wind howled from when horntail had sent her backwards, the figure seemed...............familiar somehow like she had seen him somewhere before she shook her head trying to fully regain her bearings and slowly stood up without the figures help "who...............who are you................why do I feel.............like I know you?" she asked shakily raising her blades weakly not even bothering to wait for a complete answer she leaped at horntail only to be swatted out of the air by one of it's clawed hands hitting the wall again her vision going blurry again but retaining her breath she for sure knew the back of her head was bleeding.

Specter gave a bit of a smirk when Thorn asked for a name, letting out a slight grunt when she dashed off before an answer. When Horntail swatted her from the air, he jumped toward him, scythe spinning quickly in one hand. Horntail would swing at him, and he'd grip his fingers into the beasts arm tightly, cutting the limb free in a single swipe. Specter landed near Thorn and threw the dragon's arm back at it, hard enough to knock it over. He stabbed his scythe into the wall near Thorn and took the bangle off his arm, leaning down to take Thorns arm, placing it onto her wrist. "Stay still, stay safe." he'd say, a small barrier forming around her as he'd grab onto his scythe and kick off the wall toward Horntail. "Now... You die!" he yelled out, giving a spinning swipe at the dragons left leg, severing it.

she heard the figure talk but with her stubborn streak she listened about as much as a child would (not at all) gripping her blades in her shaky hands she stumbled towards horntail throwing her trenchcoat off a loud thud sounds across the cavern when she sheds the coat (yes the coat is weighted) she took one more step forward before she started moving faster then she had before attacking with blur like movements getting hit by horntails remaining claw only sliding back a bit the dragon weakened by it's wounds which had turned to stone as soon as they were inflicted "this.............is my..............fight stay out.............of it!" she called out weakly horntail turned to face it's major threat and got smacked across the room by it's tail grunting in pain and panting from exertion "safety...........is for the................weak....." she growled defiantly continuing to charge horntail only to get swatted away or hit with a tail.

Specter continued to slash at Horntail, starting low and working his way up, temporarily leaving him be at the necks. "Just accept my help. And be sure to thank Shadow for me, if he should happen to take back control." he chuckled out as he walked over to Thorn. "Safety is for the important, not the weak." he said softly, picking her off the ground and avoiding the dragon's breath attacks as he went to a previous chamber to place Thorn down. "Just let me handle this overgrown lizard." he said with a smirk, before jumping back into the room with Horntail, running through his breath attacks. He snickered as his flesh burned away slightly to reveal the pale color of Shadow's normal skin, before jumping at the dragons head and hooking his scythe into one neck, using it to fling himself around and behind the dragon. He gave a ripping slash to the left head, then spun his scythe into the right, "Such a pathetic creature." he'd chuckle, readying the final slash before blacking out, falling off the side of the creature as the black would leak from his body, scythe rusting over again.
