§§§Chapter1 - Experimentation§§§

Flare's vision slowly returned to him. He groaned and tried to sit up. He was unable to, and gave up without trying to figure out what the problem was. His vision was still blurred, but he could faintly see two men, both dressed in long robes. One seemed to be writing something, and the other was pouring some liquid into a vial.

"Is he ready to be tested?" the man taking notes asked.

"Yes" his older man said, as he walked towards Flare with the vial. Flare knew whatever was in it couldn't be good. He scowled, warning the men to back off.

"Sir, he's awake" the first man pointed out.

"I see that Yuhef" the older man responded, as he got closer to Flare. "Ah, do not fret young boy. You are not in
harms way."

"Wh-" Flare began, before losing his breath.

"I understand, you have many questions." the stranger continued. "And I will answer them soon. After I inject you with this potion.

Flare knew it couldn't be good, and gathered all of his energy in a futile effort to break free. "Le-" was all he could say before his arm was punctured by a long needle, and the foreign liquid entered his body.

"Are you sure this is safe?" Yuhef asked.

"No, but have I ever been wrong" the old mage chuckled.

***

A few hours later, Flare once again regained his sight. This time he could see perfectly and he had more strength. He again tried to break himself out, but the binds were to strong.

"Don't try" said a voice familiar to Flare. "Youy'll never escape."

"Who are you?" Flare uttered.

"My name is Gerråha, and before you ask I will answer" he replied. "You are in the wizards tower, and me and my assistant are performing experiments on you."

"Why? What did I do?" Flare begged to know.

"Nothing. It's what you are the baffles me" Gerråha answered. "Now, don't worry. You'll be fine." Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

"I don't consider being bound to a table and being tested on 'fine'" Flare mocked.

"Well you'd better" Gerråha snapped. "Because you're not leaving anytime soon."

"You can't keep me in here forever!" Flare yelled at the departing mage.

"Watch me" Gerråha shouted back, as he disappeared into the darkness of the tower.

***

After a few hours of being strapped to the table, Yuhef finally came in and moved him into a large cell, normally used for laboratory animals. "I'm not you're little guinea pig!" Flare barked through the bars.

"You are until we figure out what you are" Yuhef dully answered. "And Id suggest you get used to it. The master can get violent when he's irritated."

"Oh come on, I'm just a person! There's nothing special about me!" Flare lied.

"In reality, we don't consider burning trees down with a touch, and breathing random puffs of smoke normal." Yuhef taunted.

"I'm probably just a mage or something!" Flare threw in, desperately trying to get out.

"That was the first thing we tested. You're not a mage, and you weren't born like this either." Yuhef explained.

Flare growled and felt a shiver run down his spine. He scowled and black air seeped from the corners of his mouth. "I'd suggest letting me out now" Flare warned. "Before I get irritated.

Yuhef almost fell to the floor laughing, and dropped the vial he was holding. "I like you kid" Yuhef chuckled; "Even though you're being held here like an animal, you've still got a sense of humor."

"I'm not joking!" Flare roared, sparks flying from his mouth. Yuhef jumped back to avoid the sparks, and sent a blast of magical fire into Flare's chest.

"Calm yourself kid" Yuhef threatened. "Or you'll end up being torched even worse.

Flare remained silent for the next few minutes, until Yuhef was gone. He moved his hands from his stomach and saw that the attack had no effect. The fire had just singed his clothes, but it did nothing to his skin. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

Even though he denied being 'extraordinary', even he thought this was unusual. For the next ten minutes he just stared at what should have been a permanent wound, but turned out to bounce off like a ball. He shivered again and sighed, crawling into the back of his cell. He began drifting to sleep, when the sound of rattling chains woke him up. He could hear Yuhef and Gerråha's voices a few rooms down and he pushed himself as far back into the corner as he could.

While trying to hide in the corner, his hand slipped and hit the wall, causing one of the stones to slide out. Flare looked at the hole, then at the wall. Even at first glance, he could tell then a strong enough force could destroy the wall with ease. The mages voices grew louder, and Flare covered up the hole.

"He's in this one, sir" Yuhef informed as they walked into the room. Gerråha grabbed some keys that were hung on the other side of the room and opened the cage.

"What do you want?" Flare asked, depressed.

"It's time for our next test" Gerråha scowled, pulling Flare to his feet. "Hurry now, the reactor will die off if we don't hurry.

"R-reactor?" Flare stammered, begging that something would stop this from happening. They entered the next room, and he saw a large reactor hooked up to the experiment table. he gulped and backed up slowly.

"No you don't" Yuhef snapped, pushing Flare forward. Within seconds, Yuhef and Gerråha had Flare on the table and were tightly binding his arms and legs. Flare desperately tried to break free, but the leather straps would not stop. He shut his eyes and gathered all his strength into his arms, hoping to break the straps. His eyes snapped open when he felt another needle pierce his arm, and once again he was injected with a foreign liquid.

§§§Chapter2 - Caged§§§

Moments after the strange liquid had been injected into him, Flare found himself back in his cage. He sat up, feeling soar all over. He tore off his shirt and saw two scars along his chest. He gasped and fell back to the floor. He couldn't help but shivering, and his head was throbbing. Again, he sat up, this time the pain increased ten fold. Despite his splitting headache, and weak limbs, he brought himself to his feet.

He stumbled over to the bars of his cage and looked out, hoping to find some kind of key. Out of memory, he located the key, but it was on the other side of the room. He pounded the wall, and fell back into the corner where he discovered the hole. He moved the rocks he had used to cover it, and his cell became filled with light. Warmth filtered through the opening, and covered Flare. As more heat and light filtered through, the more of Flare's energy returned.

He didn't even notice, but the scars that had once been permanent had healed themselves, and all his pain disappeared. He exhaled a puff of smoke and punched the wall, hearing the stone crack on impact. He froze up when he heard a door slam open, and he quickly covered the hole. He curled back up in his corner.

"What was that?" Gerråha calmly asked as he appeared in front of Flare's cell.

"It was a simulation of what I'm going to do to you when I get out of here!" Flare boldly threatened.

"Careful boy" Gerråha scolded. "You are in no position to make threats. Don't you forget, magic is stronger than any other form of combat, and I can kill you with a single strike."

"Try me" Flare taunted, standing up.

"Is that a challenge?" Gerråha mocked.

"You can't challenge someone you'll beat without trying" Flare aggressively joked.

Gerråha dropped his guard and walked away. "If it wasn't for our curiosity in you, I would have struck you down the moment you got here. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

"You couldn't kill a rat you big son of a-" Flare roared, before having his neck captured in the powerful grasp of Gerråha.

"Say another word and our tests will mean nothing to me" Gerråha threatened, knowing Flare wouldn't care.

"Try it pops" Flare ridiculed, and followed up by blowing a blast of smoke into his face. Gerråha released his grip and fell to the floor, coughing.

"Looks like we're going to have to take more extreme measures with you." Gerråha wheezed. "Fortunately for you, we destroyed our torture devices long ago."

"Then this tower shouldn't be here!" Flare hollered, causing a captured wolf to start barking.

"I won't stand for this anymore!" The old mage roared, releasing a massive eruption of magical flames from his fingertips. Flare did not attempt to avoid it, or redirect it. He let it hit him, and hit him it did. When the flames died seconds later, Flare was untouched, but the walls were singed black.

"You can not kill me you old mage, neither can your stupid assistant" Flare sneered.

Gerråha growled and turned to leave. Flare smiled to himself and exhaled another wave of smoke, once again causing Gerråha to fall coughing. "Trust me oldy," Flare warned "things are not going to be any easier. You might as well let me go."

"You will never see the light of day again!" Gerråha screamed, and stormed out of the room. Flare sighed and looked at the still barking wolf. He stared at the beast, and it became silent. It crawled as far back into its cage as it could, and whimpered.

"Just you wait" Flare said to himself. "I'll see the light much sooner than you think."

§§§Chapter3 - Hope§§§

Yuhef had just made his daily trip, and again, he did not catch Flare in his daily exercise. He had been sitting in the cage for two weeks since the last test, and he had been building his strength to bust himself out. Through the two weeks, many other victims were thrown in and out of surrounding cages, bit the mages seemed to have forgotten all about him. He was taking any chances, though. He knew they had something in mind for him.

"So-" An old man coughed in the next cell. "Why are you in here?"

"Me?" Flare snapped.

"Y-yes" the elderly man stuttered.

"Well, those stupid old mages think I'm some kind of freak." Flare answered. "But they're about to get what's coming to them."

"Hmm... I see" he replied. "Well, in that case. GUARDS!!!"

"Wait, what???" Flare cried, but he was to late. Yuhef and team of guards entered the room, and let Flare's neighboring prisoner out, who happened to be Gerråha.

"We knew you were planning something" Gerråha said menacingly. "But we didn't know what."

"Get out here" A guard snarled, and threw Flare to the ground, and began kicking him.

"Ok, boy" Gerråha continued. "We're about to have a little check up."

Flare growled and grabbed the guards foot, snapping it. Without waiting to see what happened next, he went on a mad dash to the exit. He could here the mages behind him cussing, and firing spells. He smiled at his near freedom, and then everything went black.

***

"He's awake" Yuhef pointed out.

"Don't worry" Gerråha said blankly. "After a blow in the head like that, I wouldn't be able to fight either."

"W-" Flare began, before a murdering headache crashed into him.

"Take it easy" Yuhef ordered. "And don't try anything funny, or our dungeon master will have to put another pole to your head." He walked off laughing.

"Alright, let's try this" Gerråha said, talking to himself. He went over to a window, and opened it. The rays of the sun entered the room and coated Flare in a blanket of heat. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

Within seconds, his headache was gone and his energy returned, but he still couldn't break free of his binds.

"Interesting..." Gerråha observed, closing the window. "It would seem you are a heat-powered organism.

"Let me go and you'll see just how 'heat-powered' I am!" Flare taunted.

"I do not wish to fight, again" Gerråha responded without looking. "Now, I'll just need a sample of your blood."

"What for? To clone me?" Flare mocked.

"No, to see if this trait can be passed."

"And why do you want it to be passed? Can't people just learn magic for it?" Flare asked.

"Yes, but whatever it is you can do requires no runes. It would give us a much greater edge." Gerråha answered.

"Greater edge over what?" Flare questioned.

"Against the battle that is to take place against Ca-" Gerråha began, before Yuhef stumbled into the room, panting and worried. "What is it?"

"I discovered a hole in the boys cell, but that's not the problem." Yuhef panted.

"Then what is???" Gerråha nearly yelled.

"There was a scroll sticking through the hole, it read: 8:00" Yuhef puffed.

"So you think we're going to be attacked within the hour?" Gerråha asked, shocked. All he received was a nod from Yuhef, and both of them left.

"Thanks!" Flare shouted. "Leave me tied up why don't you!?!" After struggling for the next fifteen minutes, he gave up. He began drifting to sleep, when a small thud woke him up. He looked around, and saw a robed man kneeling on the floor. "Umm... I don't suppose you're one of the guards?"

"No" the man replied in an ominous voice.

"Then, where the hell did you come from!?!" Flare asked.

"Roof" was the mans response, and he made way to free Flare.

"In there!" Yuhef shouted a few halls down.

"Damn" the man trying to free Flare cussed, and jumped out the hole he came in from.

"Hey, what about me!?!" Flare yelled to him.

"What's going on!?!" Yuhef asked when he finally reached the room, seeing the hole.

"Long story" Flare answered, avoiding the question. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

"You had better answer me now, or you'll regret it" Yuhef threatened.

"Try me" Flare chuckled, sliding his foot out of its brace.

"You asked for it!" Yuhef shouted, shooting a magical blast at Flare.

Flare snapped his other foot brace and pushed his feet into the attack, cutting it in half, but to Yuhef, it looked as if it hit him.

"I hope you've learned a lesson" Yuhef growled, and walked away.

"Yes, yes I have." Flare said to himself, joyfully.

§§§Chapter4 - Escape§§§

Four days later, everything was calm. The mages did not enter the holding chamber, and there were no more attacks or messages. Flare continued his workouts, and kept thinking about how he was able to destroy Yuhef's attack. He knew magical fire couldn't hurt him, but he didn't know he could stop other magics. He sighed, completely covering his cell in a layer of black fog. The other prisoners gagged and yelled and Flare, trying to get out of there cages, causing quite a ruckus.

"Hey, quite in there!" Yelled the half asleep guard in the net room. Flare just scowled and went back to his corner. He pulled the block back, which Yuhef had forgotten to fix, and let the sunlight consume him. He closed his eyes and felt his power building, when something blocked the light off. He looked down and saw a scroll sticking through the hole.

"Tonight" was all the scroll read. Flare looked out the hole, trying to see who might be there, but he couldn't see anyone. He stood up and turned around, to see Gerråha and Yuhef staring him down.

"What's that??" Gerråha asked, knowing what it was already.

"It's my way out" Flare admitted, his eyes nearly red with fury.

"Well, your little hero won't wake it far" Yuhef predicted, walking out of the room.

"Listen, boy" Gerråha started.

"Don't call me that you old demon!" Flare ordered.

"I shall call you what I please!" Gerråha snapped. "Now then, when is he coming?"

"Tomorrow night" Flare lied.

"Well, then that probably means any minute." Gerråha guessed, turning around to leave.

"...Burn in hell!" Flare screamed, in a blind rage.

Gerråha spun around and stared Flare down. Knowing that looks wouldn't defeat him, he charged a blast of electrical energy. Flare saw the lightning charging and he got ready to avoid. Gerråha fired, and Flare moved, the blast zapping the bars.

Flare chuckled to himself and gave the bars a good kick, sending them flying into Gerråha's chest. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !

The old mage saw Flare run out of the room and struggled to stand up. When he was unable to, he called out to the guards, who were soon hot on Flares tail.

Flare kept running, keeping an eye for any other people that might jump him again. He reached the door, and lunged for it, feeling a magical aura grab him. "You shall never escape!" Yuhef roared, kicking Flare. "We don't give a crap about your will, all we want is your abilities!"

Flare flinched every time Yuhef's foot made contact, and coughed up blood every time. "Let's see how much energy you have when you're dead!" Yuhef screamed, forgetting all about there tests on him.

A hiss filled the room, and the sound of exhaust releasing shattered everyone's ear drums. A hole exploded into the roof, and a ring of fire fell to the floor. A robed man dropped into the center of it and glared at Yuhef. "Attack!" Yuhef commanded, and the guards made way to extinguish the flames.

The attacker rose to his feet and brought the fire up with him, absorbing it into his hands. Flare weakly looked up at the attacker, and instantly recognized him as the guy that tried to save him four days ago.

The attacker held his arms out to his sides, and awaited movement from the guards. In unison, each of them set loose a wave of lethal magic. The mage on defense ran through the blasts, as if he were not there, and tore his arm through the lead guard. The rest had no mercy, they let loose attack attack after attack trying to kill the intruder, but failed miserably.

Flare's wounds healed minutes after his ally broke through the roof, and he slowly backed out of the room. Yuhef had already left, and caught Flare backing into another chamber. "Alright boy, I don't know who that is, but you and Mr. Roast over there are both going to-"

Cinder filled the room, followed by soot. Yuhef let go of Flare and dropped to his knees coughing. Flare burst out the door and made way to the long bridge to the main land. Join The Questing Clan of RuneScape! !
