[QUOTE="DiFier, post: 709685, member: 2345"] Di'Fier huddled under the eave of a warehouse. He was shivering from the cold. He clutched his sword and spell book to him. keeping them out of the rain as best he could. He'd have to take the book to his mother in the morning to get it dryed out. but for now he just want to sit here in his funk. He had saved for a year and a half to get enough money for passage to highgate. it was all gone. All his friends were gone too. They had gone to highgate or Tamsual to begin adventures and he was still stuck here in Freeport. He was lonely. He thought about them. De'on had been the first to leave. He had been discovered by the bard Parius while Parius was stuck in freeport during the rainy season two years ago. De'on was loyal and could always make them laugh. Di'Fier wondered where De'on was now. Next Kenna, Philiat and Vinnon had left before last rainy season. Vinnon had written once, he was training to become a Paladin. Imagine that. Not too surprising tho. Philiat had also written once. Telling everyone of his adventures in Highgate and that he was moving on to Tamsual. Di'Fier hadn't heard from Kenna which disapointed him the most. but there was too much hurt in freeport for her and she had to move on. He'd look her up in Highgate when he got there. Eyth, Yrus and Gyre had sailed to Tamsual to meet up with Philiat last summer. Di'fier had no doubt that they were either adventuring or running scams. Although if Eyth had anything to do with it they were off treasure hunting. He rummaged through his bag. He pulled the dull grey ion stone that Kenna had given him and held it in his hand then he stuffed it back in the bag. He sighed, he felt even worse. Suddenly something in the distance caught his attention. A bird of some sort was struggling to fly through the downpour. Difier shivered as he watched the bird approach. It was crow. No. not a crow. Oddly Di'Fier felt slightly annoyed at himself for not knowing what kind of bird it was. The bird was flying directly toward Di'Fier and soon it alighted on the ground next to him. It tilted it's head and looked up at him and said, "I'm a Raven, not a crow!" Di'Fier looked at the raven. He wasn't sure if the cold was getting to him or if the raven actually talked to him. It had sounded slightly annoyed. He'd seen other wizards with Familiars at the guild, perhaps this raven was his. The raven climbed onto his knee and sat there shviering uncontrolablily. Di'Fier noticed that he too was shivering. He mumbled a few phrases and waved his hand slightly and dried the bird. he looked down at the happy bird and asked, "Ampiel, are you my Familiar?" "I hope so." said the bird, "besides, how else would you know my name?" ____________________________________________________ Di'Fier had a cold. his mother was furious about his spell book. He had dried it out but the pages were slightly wrinkled and stained. Di'Fier thought that it gave the book charachter and since it still worked fine he didn't care. He had gotten the lecture about caring for his spellbook, again. He looked serious and listened half-heartedly, occasionally sneezing. Ampiel jumped and flapped his wings everytime he sneezed. Di'Fier was sure that he saw his mother smile each time it happened. [/QUOTE]
