Sasha nodded and sighed, watching Lazarus get up, but she shook her head, not believing what he said, shifting slightly as he pulled her into a hug to avoid damaging her side. "I'm no Angel" She said softly with a small laugh, "Angel's don't think selfish thoughts" She smiled sadly, "Be safe, Lazarus. And don't die with what ever you're doing. I'd write, but I can't read well either" She stepped back, swallowing, but she didn't look away. She didn't know how much longer she could try and be strong, but she took a deep breath, and managed to smile.

Master Jamie smiled, "Its never a matter of strength Kelthar. Its a matter of heart" She said, sighing, watching Kelthar rise once more. "You're missing the S class advancement battles." He added, with a shrug as if it was no big deal, sighing as Kelthar continued, already moving to drag him away, and then Kelthar came over. "Good choice. I'd hate to have embarrassed you" She said with an amused smile, heading back to the guild, assuming Kelthar would follow.

In the sky, a flamed being flew. They seemed to have no issue with being completely covered in flames, and seemed to fly easily through the sky. It wasn't obvious how it was happening, but it was. 

The girl looked down over the city of Magnolia, amazed at the size of it. She had never been to the city, and it was amazing to her, large and...alive. She lost concentration for a few minutes, and she started to fall, her flames dying out. 

She let out a scream, as she continued to fall, beginning to mutter under her breath, trying hard to gain her concentration and engulf herself in flames again. It happened quickly as she caught herself, and rose in the air again, but it appeared she was in the marketplace, and drawn in by what was there, he angled back down, landing smoothly. 

She did not appear to be burned. The girl was 22 years old. She had long, fiery red hair, and walked with confidence as she looked about the marketplace. She wasn't just here by chance, and she wanted to get something nice as she hunted up her half sister. 

Her name was Penny.
