"How much?" Asked Malve to the butcher. " Uh.... About, three crestants" He replyed. "
Wow Paifess, your getting very low in prices? Did your wife shun you again!?". " Yes!!... It's because we're getting not much busness because of the new fansy Butcher's shop across the street closser to all the houses!... My Wife even bought from him! even though she knows that we get our meat free!!!"." Oh Paifess! I'm sorry to hear that for you that sounds very bad... I can talk to your wife if you want?". " Oh no! No thanks! I remember last time you TRIED doing something and you ended up on the ground with a blistering headach!"." Yes the pan did hurt... but are you sure?"." Oh yes very sure!' . " Ok. Well here's your three, have a good day Paifess! hope you get more customer's!" Malve said and walked away, with the butcher smiling behind her, with four cresants instead of three.
" Whats the matter Sweetie?" Malva asked putting down her basket of grossries, and bending down onto her knees to the height of a red headed Three year old.
" Mommy!" She cryed! " Oh... We'll fing Mommy don't you worry!". Malva took up her basket with one hand and, held the little girls hand with the other.
" Is that she?" She asked the little girl. The little red head bobbed up and down, and a big smile was on her face. " Miss?". The women was looking franticly around her with two baskets in her hands. Then she saw Malva and the little girl and a smile formed there too. " Misfeltel!" The women yelled happyily. " Momma". The little girl ran into her mother's arms and hugged tight. Malva looked contentedly at them, then dicided that she better be getting home.
" Malva!" Her mentor yelled from the back of the cottage. " Yes!" Malva yelled back . She put the meat in a bucket of ice, and put the and flour in the cubbered. She out her apron on and took out one of her mentor's big iron pot. " Malva!... Oh there you are! where were you?". " I has getting grossries! we cant just eat eggs , milk and beans!". " Why not!". " because we need bread and meat!"." I like Eggs,milk and bean... Did you say Meat?". Malva chuckeled. " Yes! You know that hunting has been hard this summer because of the drought. Sooo... I bought meat from the butchers stand"." So what are we having tonight for super?"." Stew with ground beef"
" Aaron!" Malva yelled. " Yes!" replyed her mentor. " Could you set the table?". " Alright!". Aaron walked into the Ketchen and grabed three wooden bowls.Then walked into the small eating room and placed them on the table. Malva stepped into the room with the steaming pot of good smelling stew., Then she put down a rag on the table and placed the pot on it. " Aaron! why did you place three bowls on the table, again!"." Hmm..." Aaron replyed thoughtfully strocking his beard of scruff. Malva picked up the extra bowl and put it back into the Ketchen. " Now! lets eat"
" Ahhhh" Malva screamed as she woke up. A big hairy man was in the corner of the room. Malva raised her blanket closer to her pretectivly. She herd foot steps coming to her door, and she knew it was Aarin checking if she was ok. The door swung open and hit the wall wih a big Thwang. Malva looked back at where she had seen the hairy feger. And there was nothing but a corner of wall. " What was it" Aaron asked after scanning the room then droping his broadsword. " I don't know?" Malva said stunned. " I thought I saw a big hairy man in the corner there" Malva pointed getting out of bed. Aaron looked confused then turned and went out of the room with his big broadsword draging behind him. Malva got dressed into one of her everyday training robes and stockings. The robe came to her knees and rapped around the front tieing in the back or the other side. bothe the robe and stockings were dark green. She took a piece of somewhat strechy rope and tied her hair back." Finaly your out! I want to talk about what you saw" Aaron said fliping a egg that was in the iron pan. " I'm not sure I want to" Malva said uncertainly. " lets sit , eat and talk about what you saw. Malva sat down in one of the chairs at the table and forced herself to be served and not serve herself." Alright! tell me what you saw". " I told you already! I saw a big hairy man!". "Did he have a stern face ?". " Well his eye's looked stern , but I couldn't really see his face?"." Oh?... yep! thats diffantly, Thats diffantly Bipoat" said Aaron more to himself then anyone else. " Bipoat?"
" Ahhh". THUMP! " WOH" CLOP,CLOPEDIE,CLOP,CLOP. " OW...OOO...AH..". " Lamsted! Lamsted are you ok?" Ask Yelisman who had ran to his side. " I HATE THAT HORSE!" Lamsted mouned in the dirt. Yelisman grinned, and helped Lamsted up. " Are you alright young Man!" Asked the Battlemaster putting his strong hand on his shoulder. " Yes Sir" Lamsted said gasping for breath after it had been nocked out of him. " Good! Good Now get back on that horse boy, We have to brake theese horses before nightfall!". Lamsted looked if the battlemaster had turned his back then stuck his toung out and made a grumpy old face, that made Yelisman snort with laughter. " Go get back on that horse young man!" Yelisman memicked," We have to brake ever bone of Lamsted and Yelisman before nightfall". Lamsted laughed then started moving when saw the battlemaster staring right at him with a grim unamused face. He swung himself back on the black mustage, and perpared to be in a medician bed in a few minutes.
"Owwww.... I think I have a bruse on every part of my body!" mouned Yelisman climbing into bed that he shared with Lamsted. " Me too! Oh Watch out for boobytrapes, Ruflee has been looking for ways to get back at us ever sense the stocking event". Yelisman grunted, " Well we better get some sleep, Because Someone says that the horses aren't broken we have to do the same thing over again". " Don't remind me!" Lamsted growled. He looked under the bed for any jars of snakes or spiders. " See anything?" Yelisman asked anxiosly. " Nope" Lamsted said in relief. " Thank goodness... Ahhh... Oh.. Hey its my shirt!" Yelismanproclaimed happily. " Yelisman! You are the laziest, slopiest man I have EVER known". "Get in bed!" Yelisman said irratedly, but he had a big grin on his face.
" So who is this... Bibit?" Malva asked. " Bipoat" Her mentor corricted, " Well it's a long story and we have a lot to do today after breakfest"." Whatever we have to do can wait for a little while" Malva said , crossing her arms over her chest to make a sighn that ment ' I'm not going anywhere'." FINE!" Aaron said, raising his hands in surrender, " Rember the Stapus?" . Malva nodded " The meeting ever year that you go to, where all the Ranger's, Protectors, Dreamgranters, Magicians, Wizards, Ten Sensed, and The Mentors". " Exactly.. Well last year something was wrong....
" Whats going on here". Aaron walked through the camp, tents pictch everywhere he turned. But something was wrong Aaron knew it . It was quit, no one was chating with his or her friends, no Wizards competing with there fellow Magicians or Ranger's blowing smoke out of there pipes and sharing news with The Mentors. " Jim! Thank god. I thought there was a ambush or something". Jim stood there in the fog not moving and not making a sound. " Jim?" Aaron ran up to where Jim stood, He got closer and closer and Jim was transforing into a side of a tent. Aaron stoped in his tracks and sniffed the air around him. ' Bird.. Tent... old clothes........ Blood''. Aaron turned and looked down at his feet. Five dropes of blood lay on the ground. He put some on his finger and sniffed at it. " AlPHATER'S" . A hand came around and was placed on his mouth roughly. He grabed his kidnappers arms and flung him over his head. The man who had grabbed him lay there mouning. Aaron rushed over to him and unshiething his dagger and put it under the mans neck. Aaron looked more closely and quickly got off of him " Erin?" . Erin got up quickly and put his figers to his lips making the Shhh sound. " Aaron we must go to the magic house. There is inportent matters to be disscused , We must go there isn't much time!". " Erin, what is going on!" ." No time to talk now, you will learn soon enough". Aaron wasn't happy about it but hurried tord the magic house. " Finaly, we're all here " said the booming voice of the Master. " So now will you tell us whats going on?" said a voice from the crowd, Aaron recognize to be Martheez the witch of the Brakra Mountians. " Here, Here" said the rest of the crowd in unecin, including Aaron himself. " Alright. Alright... There has been a atack from the Aphaters!". Half the crowd erupted into angry shouts , The other half nodded there heads to their shouting neighbors telling them it had just happend last night and it was awful.
