Sky paced down the long path back to his house. Great news had come to him, or he thought it was anyway. The dreams he had left him another letter to his mesage, which he thought wouldn't come until he had grown into an adult. After running for a long time he arrived at his house. With a sigh and a deep breath he opened the door slightly. As he looked through the crack he saw the fire on and a figure in his comfy chair. "H-e-l-l-o . . ." He mummered as he walked inside the house.
"Hi there Sky . . ." Muttered the figure as it stood up, getting out of the chair. The figure wore glasses that shined as it stood up. With a snap of his finger he walked up to Sky. "You have grown so . . ." Tears rolled down the figures cheek. It moved to the side to let the wizard in.
Sky was suprised that the figue had started to cry. "Are you Mark?" He asked as he stared at him, he was just a bit taller then him. His hand brushed dust out of his hair as he waited for an answer. A swift movement and he dropped his wand.
"You should be more careful with something so special to you." Mark said with a soft smile placed on his face. He grasped the wand and handed it back to its owner.
"Thank you." Sky said as he placed a firm grasp on his possesion.
"I am Mark." He replied as he wiped his eyes.
"Who are you?" Sky asked as he sat in his chair.
"I was the one who found your egg. I'm not your father or some stupid thing like that. I guess I'm like your older brother, which you'll soon be older then."
Sky couldn't help but laugh. It was true, he would grow soon, maybe not for a few weeks but much sooner than this Mark. "Why did you leave?"
"That's a hard one to answer." Came the reply from Mark's mouth. " Some one forced me to leave, saying it was agiant the laws of this place to be with you. Those rules are gone now, so I thought I'd come back."
"I see . . ." Sky said as he got out of his chair. "I'm pleased to meet you . . ."
"Same here Sky." Mark said with a pleasent smile.
"Welcome to our home Mark."
