This is the town that does not belong to either of the Kingdoms. This is where all the good shops and Weapon shops are at. Feel free to trade, mingle, shop and look around.

Lenon entered the small town and walked around, asking several people for directions. Eventually he found the townhouse. He entered and applied for a shop for himself. After a few hours of asking him questions and looking at his resume, they decided to give him an empty shop. It sat next to an apothecary shop....
Lenon borrowed a wagon and horse and went to his library in Solar Town. He came back an hour later with the wagon filled with books. He moved them and put them onto shelves inside the shop, filling it up and placing everything in place. Soon, he had another library set up, but this library was newer.

The large dog padded into the neutral town, the breeze rustling his fur. He walked about a mile until he came to a dark shop with faded windows. He changed as he reached for the door knowb, his black and white hair flying in the wind behind him. "Guess it's time to clean the windows..." he sighed, switching the sign to open; he was one of the few people who were still open at hours such as these. Ignoring his previous thought on windows, he headed to the cabinet, plucking a small vial from it. He popped the cap, swirling the heavenly liquid inside. He pressed it to his lips, downing the vial in a large gulp. He winced, memories flashing before his mind finally calmed down. At least now he could think clearly. He walked behind the cash register, placing a book down. He opened it, glancing breifly, memorizing the ingredients before pacing the room, collecting them. He placed them in a large mixing bowl, beginning to mash them together, adding liquid gradually. His ear perked, becoming sensitive to the newcomers, and outgoers of the town.

Arashi paused, cocking his head as he heard the unnatural sound of wagon wheels. "Hmmm. Newcomer..." he sighed, running his hands through his hair before looking out the impossibly faded window. He could see the faint shadow of a man; and a most formal posture. He cocked his head, hearing the sound of faded books, stacked on top of one another. He tried to pry the realm of any thoughts, but found few-and with much difficulty. A new library...? He didn't think it possible, but he had learned well not to doubt others. He simply huffed, returning to his mixing.

Lenon finished setting up and sat down in an old chair with a book. Reading, for him, was almost like meditation. The more he read, the calmer he got. This particular book was about healing. Lenon needed to know more about healing and healing spells and potions if he was to defeat someone of Phantom's caliber.

Arashi finished mixing his herbs, leaving to grab another vial. He opened it gently, pooring it in. The smell that wafted through the room was enough to slip out the door, gracing the streets and their shops with a heavenly fragrance of mint and pasley. That's sure to draw attention Arashi sighed, knowing the potion to be a favorite in the trading town; a strength potion. not average, but enough to boost one's powers ten fold.

Lenon smelled the potion and put the book down. It smelled really nice. Lenon walked out the door and followed the smell to the shop beside his, and he walked in. "You?" He said in surprise. "I never even heard your name...."

Arashi had his hand to his nose; as if smelling something horrid. "My God..." he winced, the smell wafting up his sensitive nostrils. By the time he heard footsteps in his shop, his eyes were watering. He blinked, recognizing Lenon. Well. I guess it's safe to assume I was right..." he chuckled, not surprised one bit. his eyes narrowed at Lenon's words; he really wanted to know his name? He smiled then-but not wholeheartedly. This Solar was quite different. Well. The name is Arashi. You're welcome to use 'ara' is you wish to be more familiar..." Arashi winced at the nickname. she had used it all the time..."But most don't...Not anymore..." he confessed.
[[[I sense a friendship between enemies here...Might I suggest I tweak my BIO so it fits with this relationship?]]]

((Are you saying that I smell bad? Oh, and the Bio thing would be nice.))
"Arashi? Ara? I think I like Ara more." Lenon smiled. "By the way, thanks for the potions and the knives back. That saved me a bunch of time and energy. Again, I am in your debt." Lenon noticed the wince at the mention of the nickname. "Are you sure it's okay if I call you that? You seem...sad? ... Was it a heartbreak?"

[[[No! Not at all! He's part wolf...His senses are far more sensitive to the smell of what he's making-making it intense.]]]
Arashi looked up from his bowl, still watering. He sighed at Lenon's question, the least he could do was explain himself. "I...Was born to a witch with a debt. In turn, she allowed a wolf to inhabit my soul...So I'm actually two person. That of my human, and that of the wolf living within me. Because his spirit is present, I get his senses and powers in my human form. However, if my temper loses itself, or the wolf entices me to let him out; there is potential I lose control. that's what happened...I killed...a small girl when I was younger. My powers don't do much good for me..." he sighed, shaking his head. He beleived that's what he could tell this Lenon character; for now, maybe. "It was my mother's fault I became a telepath, and share my body with another. She abandoned me right after I paid her debt...I'm where I am now because I refuse great contact with others, and that my former scientist, and adoptive father, had taught me a great deal of chemicals, plants, and their effects on the body. Not only that, but I seeked a great deal to find the self control I have now...I can't imagine what would happen if I let lose again..." Arashi looked up from his bowl once more, making eye contact, But Ara is fine. And you're welcome. I had hoped you'd take them; whether I was a Lunar or not..."

"Ah...I see." Lenon sighed. "I can understand that...a lot has happened to me in my short life as well." Lenon's eyes went into a sort of void and he lost his voice for a second. Then he recovered and said, "People are people, and sides in a war never define anything."

Arashi chuckled, fighting the tears from the stench of his mixing. The herbs were stronger than he thought-"Isn't that the truth" He smiled, pooring the liquid into a larger vile, it's purple color fading ten shades before setting. He turned to Lenon then, So. I hear you're looking for some powerful healing potions and spells. Any ideas; perhaps I could help."

Lenon sighed. "Some just don't understand it. The only real reason I went to the Solar side was because I didn't like how Kage acted." He shook his head. "Don't listen to me, you can make your own choices. Do you know any healing spells?" He asked lightly. His battle with Phantom made him want some type of advantage over him, and healing might just be it.

Arashi's eyes went shady, "At least you chose your side. I was born a Lunar, and the sad fact was, I was too busy trying to please he little family I did have, and stayed here; hoping I'd make them proud in some sick way. If it were up to me, I'd say 'screw the war' and place my hands down. But it's so hard to walk around without being attacked by people like Phantom-seeking the blood of others for reasons they don't even know... Arashi shook his head, frustrated now. He turned, and walked out from behind the counter, motioning for Lenon to follow him. He led the man down the corridor, to a section of the shop usually off-limits to customers-his home. He walked into a room, turning on a dull light by snapping his fingers, and then he used his mind, forcing it to fly loosely in the air next to Lenon. He had finally used his telepath powers-something he rarely used in front of people. The lamp slowly lit the room, revealing millions of dusty books [from decades ago, and some newer ones] stacked high until the reached the ceiling of the dome-like room. Arashi laughed weakly, rubbing the back of his head as he turned around, "My personal collection...It's a bit...Huge. But it has practically every book you most probably don't have. I inherited them from the scientist when he died. There's alchemy, science, magic...everything." He walked to one side of the room, acting as if it were only a small shelf [it wasn't]. It was hard to beleive anyone had this many books...And especially books that were so extinct, the paper itself was delicate. "Being for the fact you're my new neighbor, I should have you know; you're welcome here anytime. I'm sure you'll make good use of these..."

Lenon's eyes lit up as he followed Arashi into the back room. Many of the books were new to him, although he did find one or two familiar titles here and there along the shelves. "Thank you...I...How can I ever repay you for this?" Inside his head, Lenon could already see the vast amounts of knowledge that would be sucked inside his head.
