The guard silently looks at me and writes something on a piece of paper.

The other guard, which is 'inspecting, Viv is being a whole lot touchier.

"Hey, James!" shouts the guard inspecting Viv and the responding guard is the one which passed me.

"What?" James asks calmly.

"This one's quite a catch don't ya think? The Lord'll be happy and so will the customers. Actually the more I look most of the women behind this one are quite good catches..." The first guard says whilst wiping away saliva.

(IDIOTS. Pure idiots. You don't announce that outloud! Because... Of me!)

I start secretly reading a spell and when the spell finishes I start smiling.

The guards start slowly dragging out all the women.

"Bad idea, I now have a reason to kill you. Water Magic: Waterfield." I say calmly as the entire area around me turns into a field of water but only the guards start sinking down.

(Absoloute fools. This leaves no trace of you so nothing can be blamed on me.)

The guards sink to the bottom and the field closes, instantly killing the guards in the solid ground.

"Now to just open the gate..." I jump up into the air, near the controls of the gate.

The guards in the gatehouse shout in shock but I instantly cast three low-level spells to wipe them out.

"Did these guards not think that a strong person would just waltz up to their gate?" I say as I open the gates and all the people who were supposed to be 'inspected' run in.

(Ok so all that is done... Should I go remove the head of the corruption this instant? Yeah I should...)

I activate a short warp-like air spell and appear ontop of the roof of the keep.

I calmly jump down through the roof and make myself dissapear with a light-bending spell.

(Whoa, this place actually looks amazing. Pillars reaching up to the roof, red carpets everywhere, decorative holes and paintings everywhere.)

Strolling through the keep, I finally find my target.

I walk behind the throne and look at the lord who is too big to even fit on the throne to be honest.

"Earth Magic: Spearhead. Say night night, big ol' piggy." I whisper to the lord and cut off his head, which then rolls on the floor straight infront of all his subordinates.

I calmly open the doors and walk outside and warp back to the others whilst dispelling all the other spells.

"Sorry I'm late. So, anybody got any ideas of where to go?" I ask the others who then shake their heads.

(Nobody knows of L'Aminne huh.. And the guards weren't useful at all...)

As I think about where to go Silan jumps down out of nowhere.

"I have freed all the captives and they don't need to worry about the guards. I also took the liberty of securing our sleeping location for the few days we spend here." Silan says to everybody and starts leading us to the tavern.

(So this is our sleeping location. Quite decent from the looks of it.)

Everybody else enters and I put the horses and the carriages in the stable and carriage holding area.

I enter the tavern and everybody is already eating, again.

I also order some food and sit down with everybody else.

"So, where were you Colin?" The girls ask at the same time.

"Removing some corruption, nobody important though." I answer them instantly so they don't doubt me. Well it is half of the truth.

Everybody keeps on eating and a gang of ruffians enter.

"Ey, you told us ye'd pay us by today. Where's 'r money? Huh? Where is 'r money bastard!?" They start beating up the tavern keeper but the moment I look at them they freeze since I directed a bit of killing intent at them.

As I yawn the ruffians leave with their 'weapons' left behind.

"Honestly, the quality has dropped and the quantity has increased ever since we started this trip, right?" I ask my group and they all answer with a yes.

The tavern keeper looks up and I go up to him.

"Nature Magic: Recovery." I cast a spell upon him and he instantly starts recovering from the bruises.

"We should get going to sleep, shouldn't we?" I ask everybody as it is getting dark and we've drawn a bit too much attention to ourselves.

We all stop eating and go to our bedrooms, which Silan had already bought for us.

I put a strong person and a weak person together in one room just in case somebody tries something funny.

I'm sharing a room with Viv and Vivian since they refused to share a room with anybody else.
