(open) no new contracts

[Zeion Lockhart]

It was a nice day out a little cold but it was sunny at least. Zeion walked through the market and then met with the usually odd man who sold only contracts to mercenaries and assassins. This day he only had two and oddly low number for the times they were both for assassins. "No thanks I feel like something different" Zeion continued on the next man whom he had helped before he was a food vender and gave Zeion a new thing he saw a forenier make called a 'Fru bun' Zeion took it but didn't eat it instead after thanking him he sat on a bench and began to eat the bun.

"Hmm not bad it's like a fruit sandwhich. I can taste apples and oranges strawberries but only a few hints of other fruits. A Fru bun...I think just calling it a bun is good enough."He said to himself and at the whole thing. He sat and waited perhaps a person with need of a mercenary would come by.

That bun was really good though Zeion didn't mind waiting around this day may have been a little cold but that bun made Zeion's day warmer. Still he would wait to see who would come and give him a new contract to fulfill.

[Napeir]

Napeir slipped along the market stalls, one after another like a snake slithering through the fields. He had been in town to buy some decent food for his supply was low and him and his cat were growing hungry. Glancing through the crowds he spent a set amount of time hovering over each person, he trusted very few in Avaren now-a-days for the war had turned many hearts cold.
Sighing he glared up at the sun as it hung heavily in the sky, why couldn't life be simple, why must every task laid ahead be set with even bigger tasks then the one appointed. Glancing at one stall he saw a basket of fruit, on sale too, handing the man to owed money he grabbed the basket and went along his way. Pausing to scan the crowd once more he froze as his eyes laid on a tall, but not so muscular figure sitting not far from him. He glanced along his body to see what threat he held, his cloak being black as night covered most of his body, and his silver hair hung out from that. His sword was a sight to behold, he had not seen one like this before, but then again he was a mage and preferred to use magic instead of weaponry. Some aura covered this figure, he was not one to be reckoned with. Scanning the area once more he approached the figure, what was this man truly, what purpose did he serve? Stopping not but 2 strides behind him he glared at the sword.
" I see your not to unfamiliar in battle" he started out " of what skill are you"

[Zeion Lockhart]

Zeion heard the man's statements."Yes I have seen battle but I only go to battle for money, I am a mercenary." Zeion said the man made a short line before recvieing one himself. Zeion looked around at the stalls the merchants. He bent down where he ast to lok at the ground."Things are just going to get worse thanks to the large number of bandits appering." Zeion said the tried to tell others but they didn't listen. Soon if thing were about to go all out. Zeion figured it wold be about 2 months till the bandits had an army. Zeion didn't want to think further than that.

Sit he sat that way he didn't want anymore people dying cause of something he tried doing. He wanted to explaine more but his mind kept racing to that day would come he felt like he couldn't wait. He felt like it would be a something worth being mentioned in.

[Napeir]

" A mercenary, eh? I have only seen 2 mercenaries myself, you would make my third" he said politely " the second i had to kill though, it was back during the war that broke out between the Warriors and the Mages"

Taking a seat next to him he slowly nodded his head, He had heard that the bandits had grown in number but the exact was still unknown to him. Sighing he looked at the mercenary to study his build alittle more.

" If you are interested, the bandits main base of operations are in the Dark Forest to the west of here" he said casually " i had been passing through and they jumped me, damn near killed me if i hadn't been traveling with friends"

"They are a trouble to our every day lives and seems to me that they are not slowing down any time soon" he continued " their leader is named Meliki, a demon from the abyss that took the life of my lover"

Staring up at the sky Napeir patted the bench next to him, a grey and white cat lunged from the crowd and joined him on the bench.

"Im Napeir" he said calmly, then pointing to the cat " and this is Meglian"

[Zeion Lockhart]

When Zeion heard the mans words Zeion was horrified no wonder they were stronger each time he attacked. He began to wonder what he could do against the bandits."A demon leader? Oh geez, there is nothing I can do against that. Not even my sword the shadow slayer can do anythign to a demon only mortals."Zeion realised just what had would have to do."When bandits attack I must help the town." Zeion said he still wanted to help Napeir.

Zeion figured he might as well introduce himself."I am Zeion. This is my blade shadow slayer."

ooc: sorry with it being small right now it not really done yet.

[Napeir]

OOC:i don't mind post length, as long as the point is gotten through clearly, and I'm not sure if what u meant was that u were not done posting that u were adding more, or if u were just extending what was said while not editing the meaning behind it o.o
IC:
"Its good to meet you Zeion" Napeir replied " and i was wondering about that blade, i haven't seen any like it before"

Glancing around he lightly stroked Meglians back, the cat letting out a quiet purr.

"That Meliki has power beyond anyones imagination" he started " His eyes are a deep silver and his hair a black that could blend with the nightsky. He uses claws jutted out from his fingers to slash down his oppontions, most hits should be fatal. If not for my love my life would have been lost, even though she jumped in the way the blast from his finial attack hit me nearly full blow"

Lifting up his shirt he reviled four long scars covering half his body, each about two inches in width.

" He also nearly killed Meglian, my only family left" he sighed "His favorite ability was his skill to warp around the battle field, if he vanishes hold your guard in every direction you can, for he could be anywhere"

Setting his shirt down he sent Meglian away, he then reached for two apples in his basket. Holding one up he offered it to Zeion, a smirk on his face.

"Just thought i'd give you some friendly tips, just in case you ever have to face him. It might help you get out alive...ethier way i must agree. The bandits must be stopped at the towns gates, if they really are getting as strong as they are you might need some help. If we take a stand we might just be able to kill most of the bandits, but with meliki we will need more help."

[Zeion Lockhart]

Zeion looked and saw the apple and smiled."No thanks I just ate something."He said and still th thought were rushing through his mind trying to think of ways to stop both bandits and a demon. The bandits were easy the demon was not."Thanks thought I'm gonna need those tips if a war breaks out."Zeion stated.

Zeion had no real battle scars but he knows what he has been doing for the last few months."Oddly some bandits have stopped attacking the merchants and started attacking transports of another sort yet it seems that Knights don't want help from a mercenary."

Zeion thought about what to say next.

[Napeir]

Setting the apple back into the basket he nodded with what Zeion was saying.

"The Knights are too brideful, they won't accept help from anyone" he stated.

These warriors now a days still held the bride they did when the war had broke out, and they were never going to get rid of it. He had himself offered his help to them but was turned down for just being a mage.

" i am sorry but i have a ways to travel still, im due to the south of town. If you want you can walk with me, your company has been an enjoyment" he phrased " Anyway, i perfer having an mercenary as a friend, it puts me to the atvantge if a hit is placed on me. Then again mercenaries don't let friendships and stuff like that get in their way, do they?" he asked.

[Zeion Lockhart]

"No but thanks for the invatation. I'll have to wait and see if any new contracts come in. You know in case of anyone having problems. Actaually your thinking of assassins. I go by my own code so you don't have to worry about anything like that happening." Zeion stated and then pointed to the man who sold contracts."That older gentalman is where you'll find out info on being a mercenary and the contracts that are needed. Though there are 4 people in the city who sell contracts. One in each place selling contracts and any requests that are being asked. I already visited 2 that man was the second the others are in the north end of town and the west of town." he said and then continued.

"Well now that I'm rested up I'll be going north to the next person. I'll be seeing you later Napeir." He said as he stood up and began to head to the north of town.

[Napeir]

Napeir nodded his head, he enjoyed the rare company. Being who he was he rarely got any talking in, he was always the person on the outside watching in.
"Till another day then" Napeir said, as he turned his body shrunk down, it kept going, disfiguring Napeirs body until it was the form of a pure black cat.
Waving his tail once again in good bye he slipped through the crowds, Meglian whisking to his side.
