Chapter 9: Undercover

Tirent, Balak, and Colliea watched as the students were lead into another building nearby that Tirent did not remember from his days at the facility.
Morgan and the rest of the men walked in after the students and their guards. The training field was now vacant.
Tirent stepped out from behind the bushes and crept across the meadow, Colliea and Balak right behind him. Once they reached one of the buildings they quickly snuck around its corners and into an alleyway. Soon they were up on the roof of a tall building, surveying the surrounding area.
The brown tile roof dug into Tirent stomach and he shifted uncomfortably. Then he looked around them, there were many buildings with brown stone for walls and brown roofs. The dirt path that slithered throughout the facility was worn and wore the footprints of past walkers like a crown or pendant.
"Do you know anyone that would still be here?" Balak asked.
" Maybe," Tirent said thinking of Dimboo, " But I might kill him if I saw him, so... maybe we shouldn't go find him." Tirent responded.
Balak, turned his head, confused.
Then suddenly a guard pointed up at them and yelled, "Intruders!"
Tirent swore and bounded off, jumping from roof to roof, but guards had already begun piling into the area, and soon arrows began to fly by Tirent as he ran. Colliea and Balak both were behind Tirent ducking under the arrows flying toward them, and Colliea was occasionally firing off a shot of her own. Soon they found the dorms and Tirent ducked inside, with Colliea and Balak close behind.
"I know a spot that Zephy, Sorak and I used to use!" he said, " This way."
The three dragonkin turned onto another dark corridor with brown doors on either side. Then suddenly Tirent saw it, the door! He wrenched it open and they all rushed inside the small closet.
continued... ;)

Then Tirent jumped on top of a box and pushed a ceiling board upward and to the side and hefted himself up, Colliea and Balak followed suit, then Balak pushed the board back into place.
They were surrounded by complete darkness. Outside they heard the clammer of soldiers, all of whom were probably thoroughly confused, by the sudden disappearance of their targets.
Tirent snapped, lighting his finger on fire, and used it to light a candle. The place was just like he remembered it, a attic-like room, that would have stretched all across the entire building if Tirent and his friends had not made make shift walls to make a good sized room, back when they still lived here. The was just enough room for about five people to sit, and to keep a bunch of stuff like food, notes books and anything else that students would need to hide.
"What are we gonna do?" Balak asked Tirent after they all had taken a good look at their surroundings.
"We are stuck here, the soldiers won't just give up. Our mission is toast." Balak continued.
"Actually, there is a way." Tirent said, sifting through the different boxes and bags around them. " If we leave, they'll stop searching because they'll have no reason to. Right?" Tirent began.
"But then we wouldn't finish our mission." Colliea said, looking at Tirent as if to say, ' you do have a plan better than that right?'
Tirent smiled and said, " Yes, but what if just two of us leave and we make an illusion of a third." he pulled out a key and smiled triumphantly, then looked back at Balak and Colliea.
"I can make an Illusion that bases off of an object that one of you can carry, but it will only be big enough to create one dragon. And plus we need to do something about whats going on here, not just watch."
Colliea nodded, " Yes, but thats what the second missions for!" she said.
Tirent shook his head, " I need more info, I am gonna stay here and I'll meet you and your reinforcements in the forest . If I don't come by nightfall, then attack."

Nate followed Sestial out of the village and into a dense pine forest. Nate had left his cloak back in the village and was now regretting it, all he had was his assassins gear on which provided little protection against the biting cold. However, Sestial wore very little clothing. She was barefoot and wore only a tank top made of tiger skin, and long brown pants. She wore a lot of jewelry, but it didn't seem to weigh her down. She held a staff, with a animal skull and hair on it.
After a long walk through the forest, She stopped at a clearing, that was circular and the snow had somehow not even touched. Nate, stepped up next to her and looked around at the place, the ground had black markings that form complex designs that snaked around the circle of snow-free ground.
"This is where I will teach you to control your inner anger." Sestial stated, "First we need to talk, and decide what our beginning goals should be." she continued.
Sestial had Nate sit down cross-legged. And they talked, for quite a while. Next, he did multiple other calming exercises.
Sestial said that he needed to be as peaceful as possible before they got to work because it would be less likely that he would transform.
This went on for days. Nate and Sestial would get up early in the morning and walk to the training ground, then in th afternoon, a very calm Nate would rejoin his friends who had finished their part of the negotiations. the only thing that stopped the elders from agreeing was Nate's instability, which Sestial promised would change after she was done.
One day, after the relaxing exercises, Sestial asked Nate a question.
" Why don't you use magic?" she asked, " You have the gift, you know."
" I know," Nate answered, " But I never use magic, it calls upon my dragon energy, which brings me to close to changing."
" I see." Sestial said, " You know, we could change that."
Nate shook his head, " I am already a warrior, becoming a magician just isn't my scene."

" Oh, but there are other ways to use magic," Sestial said, then continued to explain, " There is a ancient art of hand to hand combat that uses magic. Only the elders and myself even know of its existence. If you want I can teach it to you."
Nate thought about it, " Actually that sounds somewhat useful," he agreed.
"Great, I'll begin teaching you then." Sestial said, smiling.

END OF CHAPTER 9 ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

I found an error. If you notice in the last chapter, I reference both Tirent's and Nate's adventures. but the timing is off, a matter of minutes go by on Tirent's side, while days go by on Nate's. so uhh... sorry bout that.
But i have a solution. I won't be writing about Nate for a while, but you will know what has been happening with him because of this chapter. ;)

Chapter 10: Imprisonment

Tirent took the key that he had found in the various boxes and pushed it into a keyhole on the ceiling.
" There is a way straight up onto the roof from here, so you guys don't have to sneak by anyone." he said, opening up the panel.
"Alright, but don't get caught alright?" Colliea said as she hopped up onto the rooftop. Balak nodded to Tirent then climbed up as well. Tirent watched as Balak tied the illusion base object to his back and then three dragons flew off into the distance.
"Alright time to get to work" Tirent said to himself as he closed up the passage to the roof.
He knew that once the soldiers had seen that his friends had left they would go back to their usual duties, so he decided to wait a while and look through what was still in his old secret hideout.
There was some food, but it was all stale. Also, Tirent found a pocket knife, paper, pen, telescope, and multiple other random things laying about.
Finally, after about an hour Tirent decided to move out and begin his recon. He left some of his belongings behind like his cloak, and a dagger, but kept his two swords and his black clothes, made for stealth. Slowly he removed the lower panel of the hideout and hopped down into the closet. Then he opened the door, slowly and quietly. After looking down the corridor for any guards, he ran off down the hallway.
Once Tirent reached the plaza of the facility he crept up next to a wall and made his way to the new building that the students were sent into. Quickly he knocked on the door, then ducked against the wall.
Two guards walked outside looking around. Tirent decked them and quickly rushed inside, throwing darts at the two other guards inside, they dropped to the ground. Inside was vastly different than outside. The building on the outside looked like all the others, but inside everything was grey and made of stone.
