||Level One||Devil's Rhapsody||Ki Reserve: 350|| Aaron nodded to Alex and Del, letting the pair know that they were going to split. "Aye, aye, Cap'n!" Aaron hadn't really thought about Yue since the tall boy had set off for the cafeteria. This level test should be fairly easy. How much trouble could someone so tall have gotten himself into, anyway? With Alex and Del in tow, Aaron ran off into the jungle, back toward the campus. [/exit to Campus Entrance]

The pterodactyl flies Aaron over the campus and above the forbidden jungle. Under different circumstances the view could be considered beautiful, but with a few dinosaur talons being all that separates you from a fatal drop the view only serves to remind you that the odds of you surviving this flight are getting slimmer by the second. As you soar through the skies, however, you fly over a meadow of rolling green hills and you spot Arete's trailer down below. You can also just barely make out Arete's blonde hair and the group of children around him. They look like they're...waving at you. "Heyyyy Aaron!" You hear your teacher call from below. The children immediately join in, calling out in unison as if this were some sort of funny joke. "Heyyyyy Aaron!" They cheer and laugh.

||Level Two||Devil's Rhapsody||Ki Reserve: 425/450|| Aaron looked down and wiggled his hand to wave back at the kids and Arete. They seemed particularly tickled that Aaron was flying over head, and not the least bit distressed that there was a living pterodactyl flying through the sky. I'm sure those kids have seen worse before... Aaron was beginning to ache from where the dinosaur's talons had dug into him, but he didn't try to struggle free. Hopefully the pterodactyl would let him down on his own time. In the mean time, Aaron began to sing a song. The song was laced with the best intentions. [Skill used: Sonnet]

The pterodactyl turns its head towards you and slows down. It seems to relax quite a bit and warm up to you from your singing. It gradually coats down to Arete's trailer and drops you softly on the grass nearby. The children immediately run towards the winged dinosaur in awe, but one angry screech from it turns them around and they start running the other way.

He began to tend to his wounds while he waited for the dinosaur to leave.

Arete Muse 
The dinosaur quickly flapped its wings and took to the skies again, with only Arete still standing and present to wave goodbye. As the pterodactyl begins to disappear towards the mountain, a large dragon suddenly swoops down from the clouds and carries it off in its mighty jaws. Arete could only stand there for a moment, speechless, until shrugging it off a moment later with a simple comment to himself, "Huh, well thats a new one."
The lyrical teacher quickly rejoined the group of children, who by now were rushing around to gather medicine and supplies for Aaron's shoulder wounds. One of the children brought bandages out of the trailer, while another brought rubbing alcohol. The blonde horned little girl brought Aaron a lit bong made out of colored glass. A thin white smoke rolls out of the top, tickling your nose with the scent of burning herbs. Offering it up in front of his nose she said, "Here, this'll help make all the pain go away." She smiles at him. Strangely enough, Arete doesn't stop or scold her.

Fenrir Graveheart "Here, this'll help make all the pain go away." ||Level Two||Devil's Rhapsody||Ki Reserve: 450|| Aaron cleaned up the wound and bandaged it up. It didn't feel so bad now that it was cleaned, but it was still a bit sore. The little girl stood there with the bong, and Aaron thought it was amusing. "The funny thing about pain is that it helps us remember the things that cause it." The girl looked skeptical. "Well, what I mean is...This hurts, right? Well if it didn't, I'd go and jump into the claws of every pterodactyl that came screaming by, now wouldn't I? The pain helps me remember that it is a bad idea." Aaron took the bong from the girl's hand and took a deep hit, inhaling the vapors. "This still hurts pretty bad, though, and I'm not going to forget a pterodactyl!" The little girls smiled at Aaron's joke. Aaron passed the bong back to the girl and looked over to The Muse. "So, Arete. That Pterodactyl popped out of a little multi-colored egg. Any thoughts?" Aaron thought about the other things that popped out of the eggs. "Oh, and I have these." Aaron held out the two clips of pistol ammunition. "You interested in trading anything for them? I could use a new axe. . ."

Arete Muse
The girl tilted her head and stared at Aaron with her large hazel eyes as he tried to explain himself to her. "But if you avoid all the pterodactyls, how will you ever find the nice ones?" She asked innocently before taking the bong back.
After Aaron asked for Arete's opinion on the whole dinosaur egg thing was about, the Hermit pinched his chin and tilted his head to the side as if he was trying to think. "Hmmm...well...if I had to guess I'd say it was..." He paused before adding with a bright smile. "I'd say it was an Easter Miracle!"

||Level Two||Devil's Rhapsody||Ki Reserve: 450|| "An Easter Miracle, huh?" Aaron smiled at the Muse. He laughed, then shook his fist with the ammo in it. "Well is there anything I can get with this to protect myself from the next miracle?"

Arete Muse
"Eh?" Arete thought aloud and glanced at the ammo, catching him back up to reality. "Oh, right! Well I don't have anything special for you just yet, but I could trade you a greater quality battle-axe than someone of your level would allow. How's that? It'd serve you better than a few random bullets."

Arete Muse
Arete took the rounds as payment and went to a side panel on his trailer. By merely putting his hand on it, the trailer read his prints and the panel opened. It was some pretty high-tech stuff for someone who was called a hermit. An entire compartment seemed to shift and open up for Arete, forming a small hall like a walk-in closet. The sides of this compartment were lined with weapons of all kinds, like an armory. It didn't take the Muse but a few moments to pull out a large steel axe for Aaron. "This seems pretty heavy." He tossed it between his hands as he left the compartment, which closed after him. "Are you sure you can handle it?" Arete asked and offered the weapon to his student.

||Level Two||Devil's Rhapsody||Ki Reserve: 450|| Aaron caught the axe. "Yeah, it should be no problem." He tested the weight, and stepped back to swing the axe a few times. It felt good in his hands. He pulled the strap over his shoulder, and allowed the axe to hang at his side. "Well it was a pleasure doing business, Arete! I'm going to head back to the campus. I'll come back by when I'm ready to start training again!" Aaron started walking back toward the campus. [/exit, unless Arete has something else to say.]

Arete Muse
A thin veil of white steam rolled out of the windows of the trailer and Aaron could smell the scent of a delicious meal. Arete opened the door a moment later, dressed in a white cooking bib and armed with a spatula. "Oh, hello Aaron. Come in, I was just making dinner." He greeted with a happy smile before going back to the kitchen inside. "How can I help you this evening?"
