Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fenix laughed at her cold remark. " It won't matter what you say now my dear. Once your all set you won't mind at all. You'll want more of it if the test subjects words could be trusted. All you'll know is what is inside of these." Fenix picked up a pair of the bracelets. "And you'll do anything to have more of whats inside. I Promise. Now lets get to work on getting you out of that thing." Fenix called forth one of the wind magic slaves. He may not have had the powers to get her out. But his new slaves would. He hoped.


___________________________________________________________________

Ramas had been following the magic trails to Fenix's personal tent. As soon as he arrived to it he could see one specific magic flew past him. It was like he could see the wind and what created it. And what created it was not good. Ramas rushed into the tent. a guard was still posted at the tent. "What is your business here s..." Was all it got out before Ramas knocked him out. he rushed through the other end of the tent and began to follow the trails to a secret staircase. There were a few more guards posted here.

" Identification sir." The lead one called. Ramas began a hand rote while he walked past them. "Sir you cannot go in there until i see proper, What the hell?" the man tried to follow Ramas but its quite hard when your feet are being sucked into the ground. Ramas left them to fall into his spell while he continued his journey. Wait. he thought. If i go in there to rescue Kristin only then i'm going to be more likely hunted by Fenix and his men. I have to come up with a reason to go in. Ramas didn't have to think long to find his reason. He would bring justice to his parents once in for all. With or without Fenix's help. "FENIX YOU CHEAT. I SWEAR I'M GOING TO KILL YOU TILL YOU PAY ME YOUR DUES."

Fenix turned. How the hell had that merc found him? Where were his guards? "Damn it all to hell. I'll finish this quickly. Then i'll be back for you. Damn mercenaries. Always want paid." Fenix left the back room. Leaving the magicians to fight their way into her shield. "What the hell is going on? your not allowed here. Guards take this man out of here at once."

_____________________________________________________________

Ramas ignored his ramblings. He wouldn't get what he wanted at all. The guards had to be waist deep in the ground by now. Ramas approached Fenix and grabbed him by the throat. "You will pay me now. Cause i'll find him one way or another. With you either dead or alive. You can't do much business then can you?" Ramas peered behind Fenix and saw the auction. "Wait what the hell is going on here." Ramas could see that those people were being auctioned as slaves but why were the rest of the slaves near the entry way. " What in the hell are you doing back there."

_____________________________________________________________

It was getting harder to breath for Fenix. The man was persistant in getting what he wanted. " Just leave now...... and i'll get you what you...... damn it let me breath."

______________________________________________________________

Ramas let him go but ignored what he said. Instead he went into the room that he saw Fenix come out of. Inside he could see Kristin, There were the wind magicians still casting spells at her defenses. "What are you doing to this woman.?"

Fenix had to do something fast. First thing he had to do though was get that mercenary out of the way. Fenix said a quick spell and sent Ramas flying into the wall. He then turned to Kristin. " Well my dear you have proven to be more of a problem than i had originally anticipated." He began to cast a spell that was more powerful than his first. This one should get her this time He thought.

______________________________________________________________

Ramas got up slowly. He didn't think Fenix had it in him to toss him that far. He held his hand to his head and felt that it was wet. But when he pulled away he could see it was only the water from the spell. Since he was ok he turned his full attention to Fenix who was readying another spell. "Like hell your doing that." He yelled while he tackled Fenix. He had thought about using his sword but he still wanted information from him. "Where is he Fenix? Where is that damned uncle of yours hiding?" Ramas threw a flurry of punches at Fenix.

Ramas turned to Kristin. "Oh he's not going to die. At least not today." Ramas picked Fenix back up. "Your going to talk or it'll surely be known throughout Beythemisia what you do. Now we wouldn't want that now would we? That would surely do something to screw up your position now won't it? Say who got you there in the first place hmmm? I recall someone of relation being there before you. Now i'd like a little chat with him if you don't mind, you just have to tell me where he's been."

______________________________________________________________

Fenix took the harsh blows. His nose was broken without a doubt, and there was a cut above his eye too. " Right who would believe you about any of it, and why the hell do you care about my uncle? "

______________________________________________________________

Ramas threw him down and kicked him in the stomach. "Whats it matter to you. I wanted paid and you didn't give me it. It was supposed to be a no questions asked deal remember?" Ramas gave him a swift kick in the head.
______________________________________________________________

Fenix's breath was taken away by the blow to the stomach. All this trouble for seemingly trivial things. Who cared about his deadbeat uncle? Why didn't that girl just cooperate for once? Why the hell was it all going down now? But more importantly due to the situation why hadn't he ordered the wizards to do anything? But just as Fenix opened his mouth to do so he felt a hard kick to his face and blacked out.
_____________________________________________________________

Ramas saw that Fenix wasn't speaking. Hell he wasn't even moving except for his chest. "Damn it he's out cold. I've got to get him out of here. Kristin do you think you can free some of those slaves out front? Hell you know what, bring this whole blackmarket down. What was he going to do with you anyway?"

Ramas turned to her. "Not the one here of course. Her real shop is in an alleyway no one ever really goes in. The only people who come are the ones who already know about the place or some rich guys who've found out where all the good stuff is. We'll take him there. If you can get him there I can hide him." Ramas then walked to the wind magicians who were still waiting for instructions. "Hmm now about you guys, you can leave now." They didn't move. "Uhh hello, anyone home? Your free." Still nothing. Ramas turned Back to Kristin, "Hey whats up with these guys? Hard of hearing or something?"

"What the hell? Damn it i needed him, he never paid me." Ramas finally took out his sword. "Alright who the hell are you?"

" Hmm whoever the hell gets me what i need." Ramas then stared at the body. " But then again...." Maybe he wouldn't have to worry about the other families just yet. Maybe there was another way for his family to return to its former grace. Although he was not the one to do it. He then turned to Kristin. "So do you know who he was and why he made our jobs just that much easier and harder at the same time?"

Ramas played out what just happened through his head again. With Fenix's death there would be one less magistrate. One magistrate that would have to be filled in. "No i'm not coming, i've got some family business to take care of. Don't worry though, i'll probably see you another time. I want to figure out what the hell is up with these guys anyway." That was actually the farthest thing from his mind. He really needed to get to his sister, they would have to leave Thelmios soon and hopefully everything would be alright. "Go on without me. You're the one who needs the saving, and it looks like your safe now. My job is done, no need for payment." Ramas turned back to one of the magicians and pretended to look for something unusual on him. In reality all there really was too see was the amulet, two bracelets, and whatever rags the man had on. He just wanted Kristin to ignore him.
