Claire was walking on an old dirt road with a short sword and a small sack of silver coins. Her brown boots crunched the dirt beneath her. A small gang of bandits hung around preparing to ransack the girl. She was completely clueless of the ambush that was about to happen. She pulled out a map and traced her finger along a red line that looked like a path, she nodded in approval.

"Wait for it." Megan whispered to her gang of bandits waiting in the bushes. She was situated in a tree above the girl, hopping from branch to branch. She was waiting for the girl to rest so Megan wouldn't have to hurt her. "Remember to not hurt her, unless necessary." she whispered to her bandits keeping an eye on the girl.

She heard the snap of a twig above her. She looked up and saw the small gang if bandits. She whipped out her trusty shortsword and held it in attack position. She pocketed her coins and drew a small knife that was concealed under her tunic. "If you think you will m-mug me without some of you getting k-killed or severely injured, y-you are w-wrongly mistaken?" She kicked up a rock and threw it at the bandits, she missed and hit the tree, a small segment of bark falling off.

Megan silently laughed to herself. "Easy as pie." she mumbled as she poised herself. Looking down, she saw that her men had made a circle around the girl, hiding in the bushed waiting for the command. Megan touched her right index finger to her nose and then touched her forehead. That was the signal. The bandits broke loose from their hiding places and advanced on the girl. Megan stayed in the tree as a last resort. Carefully she took out her sword and leaned over the branch slightly.

Claire whipped around. She sprinted toward a bandit, kicked out his knee and hit a few jabs to pressure points. The bandit hit the ground unconscious. "I warned you."

"Stupid idiots, I knew I shouldn't have gotten them a drink before we left." Megan whispered doing a flip off the tree and landing lightly behind Claire. Before she could react, Megan sweeped her legs out from under her and put her foot on Clairs chest. "'Ello." Megan said mockingly.

She was panting. "Hi." She jabbed her knuckle into the other girls ankle. She regain her footing and kicked the girl in the gut, the other girl stumbled backwards. "Nice to meet you."

Megan dodged the kick, and flipped backwards. She deflected the blows of the girl with her sword while the bandits ran off. "Weaklings." she mumbled as she focused her attention to the fight.

She put her hand on her short sword. "I don't want any trouble just leave me alone." She frowned. "I have nothing that would interest you."

"Oh I think you do." Megan countered glancing at the tattoo on the back of Claire's hand. Raising her sword, Megan slowly walked around Claire, not taking her eyes off of her.

She unsheathed her short sword. "I have nothing you want." She searched the girl for a weak spot. "I have very little value to my name." She found a cinc in the girls right leg.

Megan stayed calm. She saw the girls gaze go to her right leg. "Have you ever wondered about the tattoo on your right hand?" Megan said twirling her sword.

She looked at her hand. "Yeah, it has been there since birth, what about it?" She started to slowly walk toward the other girl, her guard still up anticipating the girl to try and attack. "it is just a birth mark, nothing special."

"Then why," Tech said showing her the tattoo on her hand. "Do I have one as well, but in red?" Tech said smartly cocking an eyebrow in mock.

She shrugged. "Coincident." She didn't let her guard down for one second. She knew the other girl had something up her sleeve, she wasn't going to let herself slip by believing anything this mugger says to her. She inched closer ever so slowly.

Megan suddenly jumped and caught hold of a low hanging branch, swinging herself up on it. "Coincident?" Megan laughed out loud from her perk. "Anything unusual happen to you yet?" Megan said snapping her fingers together and causing a spark to fly from her hand and onto the ground.

"What the heck?" She jumped back. "Only unusual thing I have expire encore his when I get mad, any fire around me gets larger and stronger."

"Yep your one of "Us"" Megan said smiling and putting her sword away. "I would've hurt you real bad if the White Council didn't have such terrible punishments." she added running a hand through her hair.

"White Council?" She laughed. "You are just using old child folklore." She kept laughing. "You expect me to believe I am one of the five CHOSENS destined to serve the White Council?!"

Megan sighed. "I was hoping it wouldn't have come to this, especially since your an air type..... But desperate times cause for desperate measures." She finished looking Claire in the eyes. Megan shut her eyes and raised her hand to the sky. "Help this child find her way, help this child and I will pay." Megan chanted several times to the clouds. Suddenly Megan fell to the ground holding her side. "They would break a rib." She said miserably as her hand glowed a fierce red and Claire's glowed a light blue.
