[QUOTE="DiFier, post: 739053, member: 2345"] The next day a new family moved into the vacant house down the street. Famiur Onerakor was a highly ranked guild wizard from Highgate and a magus of the 6th circle. Di'Fier's mother had met him when he had visited months ago. She said that he decided to come to Freeport because he was tired of being a small fish in a big pond. He was moving to Freeport with his wife and his daughter. The daughter was around Di'Fier's age. That evening the Onerakor family was coming over for dinner. Uncle Fenwick would be there as well as the Leliron family from down the street and a few other guild families from the neighborhood. His mother brought over the family and introduced them and ending with "Di'Fier why don't you and Kenna go and play." Di'Fier didn't want to play with a girl. He wanted to have fun. At least he wouldn't end up tearing his good cloths. "Come on." He said. He wasn't sure what girls liked to do but he guessed that Kenna liked boring things like playing with dolls or playing house. Maybe they could play cards. He led her to the front parlor. Di'Fier's father was sitting in a chair reading a book. His father never read unless his mother invited wizards over. He looked like he didn't want to be bothered which was of course the case. Quite a few of the Freeport's wizards were a little snobby and overbearing. "Let’s try the other parlor." He said leading Kenna toward the back of the house. He heard Uncle Fenwic's voice booming from the room. Di'Fier continued past the door to the parlor "Nevermind. You wanna go outside?" "Sure." She said. They walked through the kitchen and out the back door. They were in the small walled in back yard. The walls were covered with ivy; his father's garden was in the far corner and an old oak tree in the center. "I can climb that tree up to my room on the third floor" He said trying to think of something to say. "Really? How? There are no low branches." He smiled "watch" but instead of heading for the tree he walked toward the back wall. As they approached the wall the vines seemed to begin to flow slightly. He smiled as she watched he whispered the word "Fédith" and the vines stopped moving. "They're enchanted, keeps people from climbing in." "What did you tell them?" "That’s a secret." He smiled and put his hands through the vines and then climbed up the wall quickly. He stood on the top of the wall for a second and then he jumped across a gap catching a branch and shimmying across it to the center of the tree. He looked down at the ground. She wasn't there. Then he saw her as she jumped across the gap and shimmied across the branch and climbed up next to him. She was wearing a cotton shirt and short trousers like a boy. The red dress clutched in her left hand. "I wore them under my dress. I don't really like wearing dresses" she said "but I didn't want to ruin it either she said touching his scraped up elbow through his torn shirt. "Oh man" He had ruined another good shirt. "Alright follow me." He climbed through the tree to a branch that led inches from his window. "We'll go inside later. First I want to show you something. But lets drop off your dress you'll need both hands to climb up." He opened his window and she tossed in her dress. Then they moved through the tree and to a downspout. "We gotta climb up this. You think you can make it?" "Of course." she replied defiantly. He climbed up past the attic and onto the roof. She was right behind him. On the roof was a crow’s nest from an old ship. "I think that an old pirate used to live here. My mom had my dad close up the hatchway cause she thought it was too dangerous up here. You can almost see all of Freeport from up here. As they looked around in the growing twilight Di'Fier's stomach began to rumble. "We should probably climb back down now. Dinner should be ready soon. As she started down he looked into the street below. A gnome in a high collared red robe walked toward the house and disappeared below the eave. Di'Fier Froze in fear as he recognized the gnome from the guild library. He heard a knock on the front door and then his mother's voice "Ah Remir what a pleasant surprise." [/QUOTE]
