Dungeons of Alamour

Chapter Four - My Best Friend

He took off his hood covering his face and smiled. I couldn't believe it.

'Orion?' I asked. He was a good friend of mine for a long time. Known him since I started school when I was five and then he left with his parents when he was ten. He had short dark blond hair, a nice face, hazel eyes, his body was muscly and he had lightly tanned skin.

'The one and only.' He said. I moved back, stood up and lifted him with the air.

'I see you finally unlocked your Sage potential.' He said and I frowned.

'Codern said he gave it to me.' I said.

'That may be true, or maybe he just helped you unlock your hidden power. I saw your potential since we were ten and then my parents said we're leaving the city forever. I came back when my parents got killed by Codern to get revenge.' He said.

'Wow, I'm so sorry.' I said.

'Ah don't worry about it. I'm over the grieving process. And right now I have nothing to do. I'm going to teach you to use your powers.' He said.

'Well that'll be cool.' I said and we started walking somewhere.

'So do you have a hideout or something 'cause right now I’m like a criminal.' I said.

'Yeah. What'd you do?' He asked.

'I was framed for murder.' I said.

'Sucks for you man. Anyway how was the five years here?' He asked.

'It was uneventful. Yours?' I asked.

'Yeah same. Nothing's been happening.' He said. I noticed there was a part of his arm that was a bit whiter than the rest. 

'What happened there?' I asked.

'Oh this scar? I was attacked by a pack of wolves and the last one scratched me and fled.' He said.

'It looks pretty cool.' I said.

'Thanks.' He said and smiled.

'So where is the hideout?' I asked.

'Right here.' He said and stopped. We were in an alley and we were facing a wall. 

'Uh is the alley your hideout?' I asked. I looked around and Orion was gone. A hand appeared out of the wall and grabbed me. I grabbed Thea's hand and we were pulled into the wall. The alley disappeared and we were in a large, black room. At the far wall there was a huge computer with ten monitors attached to it. There was only one keyboard, a chair with wheels and a desk.  On the left there were three couches and it was facing an 80 inch TV and just one bed in the middle of the room.

'Whoa.' Was all I could say.

'Yeah I know right.' He said.

'Where would we sleep?' I asked.

'One of your take the bed, the other two of us on the couch.' He said.

'Thea you take the bed, Orion and I will sleep on the couch.' I said. I looked around and Thea was already on the bed, fast asleep.

'Long day?' He asked.

'Well breaking out of the dungeons and getting powers all of a sudden isn't a normal daily routine.' I said and he chuckled.

'Fair enough. When do you want to start training?' He asked.

'In the morning. Right now I’m dead.' I said. I walked to the couch, fell on it and fell asleep instantly. I woke up to the sound of fingers tapping on a keyboard. I opened my eyes and looked around. I saw Orion was on the computer.
