After our hard battle Me and Puck now with a mutual respect for one and other shook hands, "come on I'll show you around" Puck said as he gracefully jumped and span in the air, once again he was a tiny old man "there's a rumour going around that you died whist you where been held captive" Puck stated "yes I know, I would like to keep it that way, don't tell anyone who I am my name is Shadow and that's all anyone needs to know about me, trust me it's for everyone's safety as well as my own" I answered "fair enough, I don't really want to mess with anyone who is capable of catching you, speaking of which thank you for taking it easy down there, I don't think the town folk would be to pleased if you had wrecked the place" Puck joked "ha I think you mean if we had wrecked the place, if we had been trying you would have easily demolished anything I had missed, besides I always like to put my power to equal my opponents makes it more interesting, I consider it a sign of respect I wouldn't of do it if I didn't think the fight worth my time." I pointed out "true oh where here, this is the guild hall there are a few rooms at the back for guild members well that's pretty much it all that you need know, here is the guilds official seal carry it with you always, any questions I'm here most day I bound to have missed something I have to be off now see you around" puck Said as he handed me a metal badge it depicted a dragon flying up with a bolt of lightning crashing down behind it "wow this is really cool" I said as I pinned the seal on the collar of my cote, I smiled proudly as I admired it "hey you, I don't trust you so I'm going to stay with you, I don't want you giving our guild a bad name" Amda said viciously "fine I'll let you come with me, but you better not slow me down" I threatened we glared at each other for awhile, we walked back to the notice bored in a tense silence.
Back at the notice bored "ooo that job is only a few towns over, hmm please rid our small town of this horrible beast, it's called the best of Belmoor anyone who steps foot on the moore has been brutally murdered and some have never been seen again, kill the best and save our town. Reward 5,000 gold perfect I can manage that no problem" I thought to myself "here this one is close by perfect for getting my feet wet don't you think"I told Amda as I showed him the paper "hmm yes something close to home would be a good idea, we'll head out immanently" Amda instructed I followed as Amda lead the way to the local train station. We didn't have to wait long before the train arrived we sat in an empty carriage, I watched the clear blue sky out of the window as the train shuck this way and that, as it moved along it's rail we had already past two town by this time, Belmoor was the next stop, the train screeched to a halt "we're here" Amda told me "thank god I hate traveling, I can't believe you wouldn't let me grab my headphones" I complained "I don't see why it's such a big deal" Amda retorted "traveling makes me uneasy and trust me when I say it's best if I'm not uneasy, beside I can't use much of my fire magic without them something about music calms me it makes me forget the world for a short while, put it this way without them I can make mini suns like this" I said I lay my thumb on my fingers and flick my hand open, as if my hand was imitating an explosion with that a small ball of fire appeared in my hand "looks like an ordinary fire ball to me" Amda said sceptically "yes it would if I conger it as it should truly be, then it would burn your skin and blind you" I informed Amda "I suppose so exactly how powerful are you" he asked unconvinced "well I currently only have access to 20% of my power, I keep the rest just beyond my reach these metal shackles each hold back 20% of my power, 20% is enough to make a sun ten times the size of earth, I can do more with my fire then make suns, I can control the flame to take the form of anything I can think of, I can choose to give it life, make it real or leave it as fire like this" I answered honestly as I waved my hands around the fire that was once a ball spread like a ribbon following my movements through the sky, then reformed into a box "wow that's a pretty powerful box you have there"He mocked sarcastically "shut up you moron, it was the first inanimate object I thought of, see with a simple wave like this....I demonstrated ... and the box that was once made of fire is now made of cardboard, it's as real as you and I and it's not even hot. I can make frozen ice cream believe it or not" I crowed proudly "that's grate and all but it's still just a box, I thought you said you could bring life you know like a tiger or something"Amda mentioned "yes I did say that and I can, living thing are a little more tricky though you need to make personality's for them then you have to think about gender, colouring and a load of other stuff for them, then you have to worry about what your going to do with it after it's made will you keep it, do you know someone who would want it, if you do keep it you have to look after it they will be fully functioning, it'll eat, poop , sleep excreta you get the idea sooo, do you want a pet" I asked him "hmmm maybe not, I'm on the road a lot and I don't fancy cleaning tiger poop" he answered honestly "good now that we're in agreement that making living being is a bad idea lets get back to work, look there's the town should we go and gather in-tell before we go out looking for the beast" I asked as I pointed to a small town which lay in between farm land where men and women where tending to crops, and the famous moore."Gathering some information sounds like a good idea, we're going to have to wait for night fall ether way and it's the middle of the day, so if anything it'll kill sometime" He instructed as we venture to the town. Once there we walked through the streets asking everyone we passed, "what can you tell use about the beast," the smallest mention of the creature made the towns folk contort there faces in terror, many of them fleeing at the mare mention of it's name, anyone who stayed for our questions only said they didn't know anything before they hurried away. Many hours later it was finally getting dark we both sat on a bench sombre, "this is so frustrating no one can or will tell us anything, there all to terrified" Amda complained before I could say anything a small female voice chimed in "excuse me, your from DragonStorm aren't you, I'm the one who put the job up hear is what I know, the beast of Belmoor is a apparition of a giant black panther, I often see it stalking the moore from my light house, thankfully the beast has yet to step foot into the town, but dose brutally kill anyone or thing that walks onto the moore at night the screams are blood curdling, someone of it's victims remains still haven't been found" she informed us with a shiver "it's a ghost!" I yelled turning whiter then anything ever " what's wrong not afraid of ghosts are you" Amda mocked "everyone is afraid of something bedsides, it's ok to be afraid of ghosts they're supposed to be creepy" I defended myself "what ever you say it dose make our jobs a lot harder though, with out knowing why it's hear I'm not really sure how to banish it, hey do you know when it showed up if anything strange or unfortunate happened" Amda asked the lady "well from what I know, it's been roaming the moore for centuries, but it's only started killing about a month ago, after a shooting star fell to earth up until then the phantom just wondered the moore, no one knows why it changed the people around town are worried that it might start coming into town" she stated sounding worried "hmm a fallen star that sounds important, lets go to the moore and see if we can find anything" I suggested to Amda "good idea lets go" he replied. we walked onto the moore it was pitch black now, I walked in front holding a ball of fire to light our way, I shivered both from the cold and from been completely freaked out "why am I in front, I don't like this" I complained terrified "because, oh grate and powerful one your our torch, beside any monsters we find would eat you before me giving me time to escape" Amda mocked "oh hilarious, you know I can make you a real torch and you could go in front" I retorted sarcastically "go for it I'm not scared" He crowed "yeah sure" I muttered sceptically "oooo I know what will put him in his place, a good scare" I thought to myself mischievously "ahh what was that" I shrieked "ahhh what, what" Amda freaked out tuning this way and that, I began to laugh hysterically "oh yeah your totally not afraid, hey you know I kind of feel like I'm in an episode of Scobby-Doo, have you ever noticed that the one's behind the ghost always seem to be the one that tells the ghost story to the gang" I said Amda glared at me scornful "your gonna pay for tha...." "shhh" I instructed "what no are you....." "shhhh I think I hear something"I told him, the air suddenly became still, it was eerie, silent "behind you" I whispered horrified, a massive panther made of shadows with yellow glowing eyes lept over him.
