Iris smiled, "Very good." she looked down at the two in Orin's grasp, "Now who is who? Witch one is the girl you were talking about?" After looking at the girls some more, she shrugged, "Come on lets take down into the dungeons, we should gag them too..." She looked behind her, and let out a small laugh, "Looks like you forgot something." she said pointing behind him. About a mile away was a wolf slowly making its way to the Castle, it looked to well fed to be a wild animal. Her guess was that it belonged to one of the girls and it followed the scent of its owner here.

He liftedthe green-garbed Adele by the scruff of her collar. "This is the one that was aiding the our friends of lightning. The other is her accomplice, and she made a lovely hostage to force the assassin to drop her guard." He hefted them up over his shoulders, none to gently. "He turned slightly and spotted the wolf. "What should I do about the mutt?"

Iris let out a small sigh, "You don't have to do anything. Stay here please." she said as she ran out, she pulled out her staff and when she got up next to the wolf she put it up against its side and extended it. The impact sent it flying a few feet and when she approached it again she found it unconscious. 'Stupid mutt didn't even put up a fight, must be exhausted.' She grabbed it by the scruff and half dragged it back the the Castle. She only left Orin for five minuets. "Thanks for waiting. Now lets go." she said as she led the way down to the dungeon. They approached a old door thats hinges needed oil, because it squeaked a little when she pushed it open. With a snap of her fingers, torches lit up one after another, revealing a stone stairway. Without a word she walked down it. Down at the bottom, there were many cells lined up against the wall on both sides of a hallway. Some were made of metal, others of stone or wood. All of them had chains hanging down in them. She threw the wolf in one of the wooden ones, and after examining the girls some more, she found a cat in the bag one of them were carrying. She put it in the cage with the wolf and used one of the manacles hanging down to chain it in so it wouldn't get out. She removed any weapons that the girls had on them and threw them into two separate metal cells, the girl that Orin had pointed out earlier was carrying more weapons and had, what she originally thought to be a staff, but was really two swords that was combined at the hilt. As she examined it further, she found that at the center, you could unscrew it and create two separate swords. She threw one half in one cell and the other half in the other. "Lets put them in those two there." She said to Orin, indicating two metal cells towards the end of the hallway that were across from each other, "Chain and gag them will you?" She handed Orin some cloth that he could use to gag the girls, then started to help him get them into their cells.

Orin set the girls in their cells, chaining and gagging Ellen while Iris took care of Adelle. When he had finished, he waited for the princess, not wanting to up and leave if she had further instructions.

Ellen awoke in a daze. Her head was pounding and her neck was really sore. 'What have I gotten myself into this time...' There was something in her mouth preventing her from being able to speak, or at least say anything anyone would understand. Her arms and legs had been chained up and she couldn't move from her spot on the dirty dank ground. Her mind flashed back to what she last remembered and that was being choked to death by a giant angry dragon man. As her eyes adjusted to the poor lighting she saw Adele, who looked as if she was also unconscious, and was in the same condition as Ellen. She also spied a young girl, about the same age as she was, with dark brown hair. The girl seemed to be their captor by the look on her face, it was one of triumph and victory. Angry, she turned to find one more person in the room, and this one she recognized. It was the man who had obviously brought the two of them here to be locked in this horrid dungeon. 'I must be in Fire then...' This made her angry, even more so than before. They had crossed a line. A big one. She turned her thoughts on the girl, forcing them inside her mind, 'You will release me.'

When Iris was finished chaining the Earth girl up, she turned to the girl who spoke to her, "All in good time my dear child, but for now you must stay here. We would want you to cause trouble and get yourself hurt." She said and a burst of flame lit up in the girls face, showing that if the girl crossed her line, she would not be afraid to eliminate her. She then turned to Orin, "Come on." She said as she began to walk up the stairs. One by one, the torches went out as she past them, leaving the room almost completely dark except for a single torch that was still lit down in the dungeons. "Not a single word about those girls to the Lightning elementals. What they don't know wont hurt them." She said quietly as she walked down the hallway. She followed the prescience of two unknown strangers until she came to the door that she figured the Lightning elementals were in. She knocked and poked her head into the room, when she saw Seifer and the Lightning elementals in there, she smiled. "Are you guys still alive? Or have you been killed by boredom?" She said in a teasing voice.
Adele woke in a dark room, the only source of light came from a torch at the end of a long hallway. From the light she could faintly see the shape of a girl in the cell across from her. When she tried to get a closer look at the girl, she noticed that she was chained and gaged. She slumped back down into the position she was in before. The fight with Orin was taking its toll, she was exhausted and felt like she had been dragged across the entire nation. Her entire body hurt. 'Ellen?' she thought as she projected her thoughts to the girl across her weakly.

Due to the prior silence, it was apparent Seifer wasn't much for idle chat but not particularly surprising, the commissioned assassins as they were seemed to be short on questions themselves. Likely better they were lacking in questions as Seifer wouldn't provide answers himself for the time being. Tilting his head slightly at the eventual intrusion, Seifer replied, "I shudder to think what would become of our military if we didn't have the patience to wait around for a few moments." Standing up off the wall, Seifer shifted to face the princess this time as he continued, glancing back briefly to see whether the men of lightning were alert, "So, to what do we owe the pleasure?"

Ellen sat on the ground with her eyes closed, attempting to hold her connection with the girl's mind as she walked away. So much so in fact, that she didn't pick up on Adele thinking her name. 'You can walk away but you can't silence me... I'll haunt you like a shadow till you come back.' The tone of the voice that Iris heard in her head was so unlike the happy Earth girl who was brought here, that it made Ellen herself want to shiver. She didn't like being mean, in fact hated to be mean to anyone, but something inside her had snapped like a rubber band being stretched too far. The only question now was if it could be repaired.

Iris entered the room "Well," she said, "our dear Violet has sacrificed herself to help us get rid of Illusion. They went off to help with the ceremony, Bloom went with them just incase Violet needs someone there." She smiled to the Lightning elementals, "I'm here to answer any questions you have." When she heard the earth girls voice still in her head, she thought back to the girl, 'Don't fret child, I will come back. You see, I am just a busy person. Once I am done with some other business, I will come back and we can have a nice long chat, but for now you should be a good girl and wait quietly.' With that said, she closed her mind to anyone but Violet.

Orin followed Iris back up into the castle, and into the room where the rest were waiting. He smiled and nodded to Seifer when he cracked his joke, fully understanding what a pain comanding a restless squad can be.
Genji sighed, knowing the time had come to finaly find out what was really going on, and wheather he wanted in on it. "All we need to know is what you plan on doing, and what we will recieve if we help you."

Ellen concentrated hard, but couldn't hold the connection between her and the fire girl. She sighed in frustration and looked over at Adele realizing that she was no longer unconscious, although in the dark lighting it was hard to tell where exactly she was looking. 'Been awake long?' She asked, now pushing her way inside Adele's mind. She needed to come up with a plan, and being a Mesmer she could inflict hallucinations upon them, but she couldn't physically hurt them, only haunt them like a bad dream.

Iris smiled, 'It seems all that I'm doing now a days it negotiating.' She thought to herself. She turned to the Lightning elemental that addressed her, "Well, I'm sorry to tell you, but the plan is ever changing. It will probably change again if you decide to help us. With that said, if you do decide to help us, what is it that you want?"
Adele put her head back against the wall, 'Nah, I just woke up, you? Do you know anything about whats going on?' She thought to Ellen. She needed as much information as possible if she were to make a plan to get them out of here. Judging on how the air was cold, she figured that they were underground, so she didn't think that there would be any windows down here. And like any dungeon, there was only going to be one exit. Things were not looking good for them.

Ziro suddenly became more interested when he and Genji were asked what they wanted. Ziro looked at Genji, and shrugged. Ziro leaned against a wall and folded his arms across his chest. He decided to walk his way into the conversation, "Well, your majesty, as an assassin I except only payment in currency, up front, no questions asked. But because I'm doing more than just one assassination, I would be happy with enough money to purchase a small plot of property. I could use a new central assassins guild. My friend I think, has something else in mind for himself."

Genji nodded. "I do have something else in mind. As you know, I am being hunted by the King for being a part of an 'attack' on the castle. Protection would be esential for me to work for you, and..." He squinted in seriousness. "If you do end up achieving your ultimate goal, I would like your aid in finding a scertan someon I have to kill."

'We're in the Fire nation,' Ellen began not really knowing where else to start. Being trapped here was not a good thing, not by a long shot. 'We were brought here by that dragon man. I'm pretty sure he was ordered to do so too by some girl. She was down here earlier.' She broke off her thoughts looking at the restraints and suddenly and idea hit her. 'Hey Adele... do you think that if I could pull any amount of water out of the ground, that maybe I could possibly break the chains by freezing them?' It was just an idea, but they could always be resourceful.
