"Yes. We were not always friends, though. We were foes at first. We first met in the opening months of the year 3030, during my annual rounds to this region. Baern was a member of the Joker's Card gang at the time. It is a long story, but I persuaded them to abandon their criminal ways and help...

When Gwen replied "I know a place we can stay," Ryland was surprised by her assertiveness. Clearly, she was familiar with this city. Ryland had been here himself a couple of times, but never as himself. And he was more acquainted with the underground side of the city, the less pretty. As soon as...

Ryland didn't really have "better days" as it would normally be defined. His better days, he supposed were likely traveling from one city to another with his family. His family was rather famous, and maybe if he said their "legendary" and untrue last name, she would recognize it, but he much...

Ryland stopped and paused for a long moment. Then suddenly he disappeared into the shadows. After about three minutes, he reappeared beside her, clear as day. "That's one of them...the other involves...looking into someone's eyes. I see into their thoughts. It's useful in battle, sometimes. My...

Colton replied, "I doubt he's done toying with us. He strikes me as someone who is his at hiding and coming out at optimal times." Colton said as Caelum left, "talk to you later, kid." Eric was a boy Caelum's age. He was rather unknown but very smart and quiet. He bumped into Caelum that...

Ryland was surprised by her assumption that he needed more practice. Of course, he wasn't the strongest but of his family, he was the one that never got caught. The one that always walked away unscathed. After a long pause, he looked at her. "Whatever I need to do, I will do it. I can fight...

Colton shrunk back. "I didn't mean anything..."he drove him directly to school but as they sat in front of the school he asked, "so what's going on with...you called him Crow?

Ryland perked up, and suddenly there was hope in his eyes. "Really--they are? They are? How do you know? Are you sure?" The sadness was starting to fade away, and this joyous disbelief was starting to take hold of him. How did she know? Was this real? Ryland seemed to be walking a little faster...

Connor nodded. "Okay, mo-Eira." He started watching TV and got distracted with it. ----- Colton said, "yeah...hey, aren't you supposed to be heading to school? Do you need a ride? "

Colton said, "I'm not sure. I have a feeling though that it's all related. Maybe we should look into it?" The other night haunted him a bit. ----- "It's at a school. I don't know which one. His name is Eric...we got to stop it. "

Ryland didn't look at her. He didn't want to look at anyone. He didn't answer her question. He just started walking, like some part of him was dead but the other part was walking, pushing him forward even when the rest of him had left. Ryland felt vacant and it was hard to process anything right...

Ryland was shocked. This was beyond anything he had experienced before. And he had experienced much in his life. So this was another degree, and Ryland felt like he was still out of hours body somewhat because it was too much to process. "How...why. " He fell to his knees and cried. He...

Connor looked toward Eira. "My dad told me all the stories. But, he left out a lot if details. I do know that on this day, someone gets kidnapped...and we need to stop it." ----- Colton looked at Caelum. "Yeah. Kidnappings. It's that. ..thing isn't it? "

Her words were almost like being sick by lightning. Ryland started to panic. "Funeral...funeral. No, no, no, no." He stood and started to take off in spite of his soreness. "I gotta go. Gotta find them."

"Ryland," he said, after setting the coffee down. Normally, he would have been a gentleman, would have asked her her name, but a part of him didn't care. He just wanted to disappear, to sink away. He didn't know where he would go or what he would do, but staying here didn't seem like a...

Connor said, while flipping through channels, "I don't know but something shifts time in a bad way. I can feel it. There's villains out there. And we have to stop them."

Connor drooped a piece of his pancake. Getting in trouble by his dad did not soak appeal to him. "Uh, no." He plopped himself in front of the TV. "It looks different." --- Colton was right behind Caelum. "Hey...what are you doing here?"

Ryland pulled his face away, not wanting to drink the coffee. He sat up, groaning a little as he did this, feeling the pain from his earlier injuries. "I'm fine, thanks though." He blinked several times, trying to wake himself up. "Everstar Forest...near Castlebrock." He was repeating it like he...

Coffee seemed like a distant memory. Coffee? It reminded him of times where he would escape from the cold in the warmth of a campfire, nestled beneath blankets and holding onto a hot cup. His mom would sit there cuddled with him. He remembered how much she enjoyed coffee. It seemed like a...

"I don't exactly know. But it's bad." Colton looked over at her. "You don't look old." When he got inside, he nearly screamed for pancakes and started eating what Colton had left behind. "I'm not really supposed to be here. My parents told me no. But I gotta do what I gotta do."
