Two hooded figures come into the tavern. One of them wore a dark purple cloak and the other's was a dark red. They walk to the bar tavern owner and both orders drinks. The one in the dark purple was female and the other male. They kept away from everyone and when their drinks came they took them quietly.

"Excuse me," the man suddenly said to the owner.

"Yes?" He replied. Looking at the still hooded figure.

"Please tell me has a man come through here. He has a black cloak and probably is wearing a mask." He said. The tavern owner shook his head. "Sorry. Can't help you." He said. Suddenly a huge gust of wind blew the door open and the fire out. The other people in the tavern looked up startled.

"He's here." The girl said in a low voice. The man nods and says, "stay here take care of the witness."

She nods as he leaves. She then pulls out a white flute and plays a soft turn. The people inside suddenly fell asleep quickly. She then places a few coins on the counter and runs out to join her partner.

"He's not alone." He said quickly. He closes his eyes and said, "there are three people with him. All male."

"Other dark mages?" She asks as she puts her flute away. He shook his head. "No. They seem to have magic but it's weak...I took weak for me to trace."

"He's got puppets." She said. He then nods and holds up his hands. "Shadow! Show yourself!" He shouts.

A black arrow shoots out of the darkness and the man dodges. He curses and looks back to were the arrow came from.

"Melody?" He asks turning to her. "Think your strong enough to do a stronger spell?"

Melody nods and says, "yes. But I'll drain me." He nods and moves his hand. She watches his hand moves and nods. She drew a small sign in the dirt with her foot. She then closes her eyes and focuses. She opens her eyes and moves her hands out.

"Got one of them." She said. She then falls the dirt, awake but shaking. It took a lot out of her. "Good. We're going now." He said and throwing down a small bottle smoke suddenly filled the air and the two were gone.

Three figures walk out of the shadows and one of them says, "we must report this to Shadow."
