[center][b][color=orange][h2]Avey StormChaser[/h2][/color][/b] Chapter 1.3 All Wizards have to work sometime [/center] [hr]([i]A random room[/i])[hr] [Hider=A kind stranger ] Avey was sitting on the corner of the bed reading random pages of an aged well-used book when the creaking of the stairs stopped and the door to his room swung open. He had planned on escaping out the window and was halfway there when he fell distracted by a book on the floor. When the door flung open he was expecting some large barrel-chested tavern-going manly man to come in a beat down on him for the cost of repairs and accommodation, instead it was quite the opposite. A shy young girl with a thin frame and long black hair stood cautiously in the doorway.

She hugged her own elbow and nervously asked him if everything was ok. Shocked, Avey just sat there for a moment, book still in hand. Not sure of the correct answer. Her voice was soft and sweet yet her lack of confidence pained him. [b]Where am I?[/b] he finally asked as gently as he could, careful not to frighten her. He thought of her as wild baby doe ready to run. Standing up he raised a hand to the side of his face and gently touched the bruised skin. [b]And what happened?[/b] The second question brought a faint smile to the girls lips and Avey relaxed a little. She looked keen to explain the foggy detail and happenings to him. Maybe things would start going a little in his favour after all. Just maybe... [/hider]
