The Blind Mage

They travel to the out skirts of Dunbarton, the many vast plain lands with many rooming cattle and horses. What stood out was a lone house made out of rock, surrounded by many horses with a lake behind it. The duo walked a path that carefully led to the front door of the house, the large male stood behind the little elf and waited for her to knock. She was about to knock till her ears started to twitch, picking up a noise that led to the lake behind the house. Only to hear a woman's voice signing along with lute playing; both of them walked up to her only giving 10 feet of space between them.

A long time ago now,
I saw him.
Flames did lick at his skin,
As the village burned around him.
Children cry in the night,
Fallen laid to mourn.
Hope is slain, All in vain,
Here our King is born.
Bow down, 
Bow down,
Into the ground.
Blood of innocent flows,
Into the soil he owns.

(BrunuhVille-Our Hero)

Her voice flowed along the the small gust of winds, that came every now and then. Her voice did not match the beauty of the lyrics, the voice was soft and kind but it was still rough as if it been through years of sorrow. She placed her lute on her back, turning her self to face the duo that waited for her song to end. Her skin was almost pearl white, her raven short hair; banged on the side of her head and fell in the middle of her face. She wore thick rimmed glasses even though her eyes were closed; she looked as if she was in her mid 20's. Her body is tall and thin, slouching though made her look much smaller than she is; as for her clothes she wore a Celtic Ensemble.

"Hello."

"H-Hello, I am Mirrey and this is my faithful companion Ryu." She gesture her hand to the older male behind her. All he did was grunt in return, before being elbowed by the younger elf.

The strange female couldn't help but giggle at their interaction, "I am Terissa the Blind Mage. Surely you are here for something other than a chat."

They knew that was hint to talk about their preposition, not knowing that she was inspecting the both of them. She could not see them physically, although she could could still see them in her head only using shades of grey.

"Would you like to come in, I could make us some coco while you explain to me." She asked as she led them into her tiny house. They followed as many of the horses began to come closer to the duo, as they were inspecting them as well. "Oh my, shoo shoo. These people are friends, now go." She told them as they started to back off.

Once inside, she escorted them to her table as she began to boil the milk. The duo took their seat looking at her as she made their drinks, surprised she was able to do such a act with out her eye sight. Ryu grunted a bit to get Mirrey's attention, and once he did she began to talk.

"Do you know about the old kingdom?" She asked as she fiddled with a spoon.

"Yes I do, before the queen took over and the princess disappeared. How do I not know?" She answered her and she keep her attention on the milk.

"As it may be hard to believe to you, but I am a descendant of the true princess; my mother Blanche. This man here ; Ryu, saved her and took her to the tribe of elves. B-But she was killed when I was born, and when I was born Ryu took care of me. So now we are trying to take back my Grandfather's and Mother's land back, and we ask of your help to come with us in our journey."

Looking at Terissa as she spoke, only to see her give her a cup and then Ryu one too. Taking her own seat in the process, she looked up at them giving them a terrifying smile. Gripping her cup slightly, she giggle in a ill matter.

"Now I understand that I may not know you, but you must have seen this coming. I will not let anyone speak ill of the princess. So if you can show me proof that you are her child, then please go ahead before you lose my interest and I kick you out."

Mirrey could only nod, as she felt a lump in her throat increase because of her threat. She looked over to Ryu, he nodded and grab a item wrapped in cloth. Placing it on the table; Terissa jumped as she could only feel the dark power in the item. She opened the covered item only to a Demonic Infinity Staff  She ran her fingers on top of the object, feeling the blood in her body increase in speed and in power. This was the legendary Demonic Infinity Staff, made by the God of the Fomors.

"...This was found in the castle after the raid. My mother kept it with her to keep it safe from Cichol. I believe you can control its demonic power, can you not?"

She informed her as she looked down at the staff until she noticed her hands were shaking.  Fear struck her face, as if she were at the verge of tears.

"By the gods, ...how did you know? No one knew..." She managed to say, as her face darken at the item.

"Morrighan."

Both the females turn their faces to look at Ryu, not once during this whole time he spoke. Till now that is, the women sat there quietly waiting for another responds.

"She came to me in a dream, all I saw was her figure standing in the middle of a building.

She said these words to me,

'Dear Ryu,

As I seen you do your job to protect the royal family, and not to mention yourself.

Your mother has pleaded to me, her soul wondering the lands to help your quest.

Cichol has taken control of the land, using the queen as his puppet.

Please I beg of you to help this land.

My power has been blocked away once more, being seal in this castle.

I ask you to save me, this land, and the new era of the people.

Seek the mage that can not see, for so is she that can hold the dark power and control it.' "

Looking directly at Terissa, as she straiten her self out. Only to speak in a formal and happy tone. 

"I know for sure you are not lying to me now, So I will be glad to join you guys on your journey. We may head out once I get the thing I need. We could use the horses out here for our travel."

Leaving them both to their thoughts about the new member; Mirrey happy to have another female around, and Ryu wondering her strength. This was the beginning of a new friendship, and life together.
