''Ion...'' The fon master smiled pleased when Anise addressed him by name rather then title ''You are free to merely call me Ion. It is my hope that we shall become good friends''

''I have the greatest trust in your abilities to keep me safe, I place myself in your hands Anise'' the boy continued, standing from his chair and made a polite bow ''I feel like I most apologize in advance for you must take care of me quite a bit. I'm afraid I am rather helpless'' Ion told his new guard meekly. The fon master really was incapable of taking care of himself. Many basic exercises caused him to drop from exhaustion, he often collapsed or fainted due to one illness or another and then there were the kidnappings...and that just were the few that came to Ions mind ''Your duties will also include some cooking and nursing...I do hope I am not asking to much of you''

''Its her job, she's lucky you are even asking things of her'' A cold but equally high pitched said. Sync, one of the orders six generals had entered. His face was hidden by a mask but the small stature and high voice implied a young age.

''Anise, I trust you know Sync'' Ion said ''I have the fullest trust that you can handle this but this being your first time the elders have asked Sync to accompany us on our first journey to evaluate your performance''
