Shay followed Master Goldeye, only mages would have such strange names, out of the city and up the road to the temple. Rather than taking her to the temple schools and dormitories, he took her to a small cottage near the north gate. Shay turned to ask why, but before she could Master Goldeye said, “This will be better for all involved.”
Shay sighed and said, “Look, Master Goldeye, with all due respect, why are you being so cryptic? I mean, most people would tell me why they were doing what they were doing. Why can’t you be like all those other people?” Shay knew she was being rude, but she didn’t care. She was tired, hungry and annoyed at this man who wouldn’t act like everyone else she had ever met in her life. Everyone else would treat you like a child and scold you for talking like that; at least he’s treated you like an adult so far a small voice inside her said. She had to admit, it was kind of nice to be spoken to like an adult.
“I wish you would call me Niko,” he said, “It’s easier to remember, and almost everyone else calls me that. Speaking of names, I seem not to have gotten yours.”
“My friends call me Shay,” Shay said coldly. “you may call me Shaque.”
“Well, Shaque,” Niko said, “if I told you what I meant, you wouldn’t believe me, and you wouldn’t listen to another thing I said.”
“Fair enough,” Shay said dryly. Presently they came upon the cottage, it had lights glowing in the front windows. There were two additions to the house, one on either side. One was made of wood and the other was made of cloth with wooden supports. There were two stories to the house; the roof was thatched and there was a nice little chimney to one side. All in all, it looked like a nice place.
“This is Discipline Cottage,” Niko said. “It’s where you will be staying while you are here.” Seeing her shocked look Niko added, “No, discipline doesn’t mean punishment, it’s what you’re here to learn.” They stepped inside to see two people in green robes sitting in front of a fire. “This is Lark and Rosethorn,” Niko said, “they are in charge of Discipline. There is another girl staying here as well, her name is Evvy,” Hearing her name the girl, Shay figured it was probably Evvy, poked her head out of one of the side doors.
“Pleasure to meet you all,” Shay said politely.
Niko seemed about to say something else when someone yelled, “Shay!” and ran straight at Shay, tackling her in a hug.
“Ari!” Shay yelled returning the hug. She was both surprised and a little confused to see her friend. “What’re you doing here?”

"I don't really know. I just woke up here a minute ago." She looked over Shay's shoulder and her eyes narrowed. "You," she hissed, looking very much like an angry cat. Well, angry kitten. "You knocked me out." She didn't yell, but was more like a demon with anger emanating from her. She didn't have to yell to get that point across. In fact, it was almost more effective this way.

"What?" Shay asked pulling back to se who Ari was so angry at. "Who knocked you out?"

"Him!" She hissed. "That living, breathing hunk of cat dung!" She pointed at Goldeye. "He used his magicky thingy to knock me out so that he could kidnap me and bring me here.

Shay whirled on Goldeye, she refused to call him Niko after what he had done, and shrieked, "You did WHAT!!![/u]" Her hair rose in a crackling sheet of heat lightning and her eyes semed to blaze with an inner fire. "You can't just go magicing people whenever you want, it's rude! And the fact that you kidnaped her makes it even worse! Did you even stop to think the didn't want to go with you?" By this time Shay was right in front of Goldeye, glairing up at him with her fury, but then she paused and looked back at Ari. "Unless..." she said with a question in her eyes, "Did you want to go with him?"[/color]

Ari thought for a moment. "Well, I was running away...but that was probably because this creeper was chasing after me...if he had chosen his words more carefully and not been a stalker, yeah, I probably would have come with him," she said thoughtfully.

Shay deflated with a sigh, she had kind of hoped that Ari would have said "No, she didn't want to go with him," but that was alright, Shay could always kill him later. "Fine," she said snapily. Turning back to Goldeye she said, "So she would've gone with you if you hadn't been a stalker, I probably would have gone with you too if you haden't been so creepy. Don't you any better than that. People, especially girls don't like to be snuck up on and told someone they don't know has been looking for them, It just isn't nice." Shay paused for breath and tried to calm down. Going back to the bench she had been sitting on before all this happened she said again, "It's just not right." After a pause Shay looked at Ari and said, "Are you sure you don't want me to kill him for you?"

Ari nodded. "I don't think it would look good for us if we killed someone on our first day," she commented. "Besides, I'm sure there's going to be something you can kill him for later." She laughed.

Shay nodded, "Ok then, I'll kill him later." To Goldeye she added, "This isn't over, you still haven't heard the last from me!" On an abrupt change of subject Shay said, "Where do we eat, I'm starving."

Ari looked around. "Well, I think we eat here." Their new place wasn't all that big, so there weren't many rooms to pick from. It wasn't that hard to find the kitchen.

"Oh, yeah...right...I knew that," Shay said and sighed, the exhaustion seemed to be messing with her brain. All she wanted to do was eat and then sleep for about fifteen hours. "Well, anyways...” Shay trailed off into an awkward silence. Now that she was actually here, she didn’t know what she wanted to do.
Shay looked around trying to find something to talk about. She looked at Ari and said, “Well, why don’t you come sit, you look kind of awkward standing all by yourself. Plus, you’re making me feel short. When did you get so tall?” Shay babbled and then shut her mouth and bit her tongue to keep herself from saying anything else stupid. Why do I always rant when I’m tired, it’s really annoying she thought dryly.

Ari laugh and sat down...on the table. "Chairs are too conformist for me," she laughed. "She looked over at Niko. "So what do you want, anyway?" She had never figured that out. Then she sighed and wished she hadn't asked when he launched into a long, drawn-out explanation of magic, most of which she didn't care about, and half of which she didn't listen to. What she did hear was him ending with 'your training starts tomorrow.' "Wait, what?" She exclaimed. "Training for what?" 'Magic, of course.' Ari shook her head. "I'm going back to bed," she commented. "I'm obviously still dreaming."

When Ari sat on the table it was all Shay could do not to laugh. But when Ari asked what Niko had wanted, it became very unfunny very fast. Niko launched into this really dry, dull speach about magic and responsibility and bla bla bla. Shay was barely able to keep her eyes open during most of it. The only thing she really heard was him saying, ''your training starts tomorrow.' That caught her attention fast enough. "What training?" she asked confused. 'Magic, of course.' Shay watched Ari go back upstairs to bed. "I think I'd better go to bed too," she said with a jaw-splitting yawn. "Where...where can I sleep?" 'there's another room upstairs,' Lark told her. "Well, in that case, I'm off. Goodnight crazy people. I hope I won't see you in the morning." With that, Shay wandered tiredly upstairs and into the room that Ari wasn't already in.

Ari watched Shay pass her room. "Goodnight, sleep well. If I must I could kill you in the morning." She called after her. Then she rolled over and was quickly asleep...
~epic time jump~
Ari sat at the table, drowsily eating her oatmeal, not really comprehending what she was eating, or that she was even eating at all. "Think fast!" A voice came from beside her and a little behind. A fireball passed into her vision. Ari leaned back slightly and blew water onto it, quickly dousing it. Then she went back to eating her oatmeal, taking a large gulp of honey-ladden coffee first. "Good morning." She mumbled, but it didn't sound like it was a good morning. It sounded like she needed more coffee first.

Shay smirked. Throwing fireballs at Ari was always fun especially in the morning when she was barely awake. Once Shay had learned to make fireballs it was one of her favorite things to do. Once she had thrown one at Niko...she wasn't ever going to do that again, that was for sure.
Shay ladled oatmeal into her bowl and poured herself some of Rosethorn's morning brew; she liked it way better than coffee because as she was forever telling Ari 'coffee is yucky, and I don't ever want to drink it again.' She plopped down in the seat nex to Ari. "Good morning!" she replied happily. "I see you haven't finished your coffee yet."
