Ziva sprinted for the door, where she could see Raiab entering. She hated magic, wizards and a few other things, all of which seemed to be showing up today. She tripped and went sprawling towards the door. She swore under her breathe as she hit the ground, it was not her day. |

The winds died out quickly when the man raised his hand. The next bolt of lightning struck Raiab squarely in the chest, burning him badly and hurling out the door he'd just come through.
Arik burst out of another door, swinging the sword in a full arc. The clash of blades caused Arik's to explode as the Wizard's fist caught Arik's face and Arik flew back from a magical burst at contact with the knuckles. With those two conveniently incapacitated, the robed figure strode over and picked up a very plain, old looking book. He then looked at Ziva, who was still sprawled out on the floor.
"Tell the Wizard, if he's still alive, that is powers are far too puny to wield the knowledge in this book, or to heal my plague," he said in a voice that seemed to come from both the man's lips and the sword. Then he vanished in a puff of mist. |

Raiab got up, shaking, and ignoring the burn on his chest for the moment. He could deal with it later. He went to check on Arik and Ziva. _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

Ziva was still staring at the spot were the man had once stood, when Raiab came to check on her. She was shaking. She hated magic and for good reason. She stood slowly, brushing herself off. |

Arik sat up, his face bloodied and bruised, and looked around. "Who was that man, and what did he do?" he groaned mostly to himself.
The Wizard had a terrible burn on his right breast and the girl looked like she'd been scared out of her mind. Things had gone exceptionally poorly. Additionally, he believed that whoever that man was got what he was after. |

"I...I don't know," Raiab said grimly. "But it seems I have to find out, and I rather would not do it alone." some of the words the man had said alarmed him. - wield the knowledge in my book? Had this evil stranger, whoever he was, had found what he had been searching for for years?
"But first," he staggered to his feet, leaning against the wall. "We need healing. And I need to speak to Ziva. She has been extremely foolish." _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

Ziva bristled at this comment. She seemed to be immediately back to her normal self again.
"I am not a child, you know." She snapped.
He acted like she needed babysitting. |

"Well, you almost died," he said frankly. "I'm going to find a healer..." he rubbed his jaw and walked off. |

"Come on, girl," Raiab said, irritated, picking himself up. "You need to come too. Unless you think you know better, of course." his lip curled sarcastically as he grabbed her by the arm and dragged her along. _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

Ziva protested being dragged along. It was like she was 6 year-old ebing dragged by their mother.
"I have legs, you know." she said, as she jerked her arm away from Raiab. |

Arik managed to find a few poultices and such to soothe pains and help heal burns, but he found no genuine healer.
It was distressing what was going on. There was little to be done, but so much that needed to be done. An idea would come, he was sure of that. _________________ Delicious tea, or deadly poison?

"Yes, and those legs will take you where you'd wish you didn't go," Raiab snapped. "You've proven that with this little stunt." he was extremely annoyed with the girl. Did she have any common sense at all? _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

"It was not a stunt. I saw him sneaking around and decided to see what he was up to. If I hadn't stepped on that damned cat he probably wouldn't have known I was there."
She was not happy. She didn't need anyone looking out for her, especially a wizard. |

"And what of the instruction I gave you to remain in the manor?" Raiab snapped, striding ahead. "Did you forget that?" _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

Arik found them, arguing, while marching through the town. "Sit, Raiab. You're... burned. What exactly did he do to you?"
It was a very ugly burn, but it was shallow, like the blow mostly missed. _________________ Delicious tea, or deadly poison?
