Wind rushed past him. He could ear the gards hot on his trail. Ashton had just stolen an acient amulet from the museum of fate to be fair it didn't realy belong to the museum it belonged to the son of the moon who ever that is. Ashton had been searching for centerys to find the all powerful wizard who would be his partner in an unknow adventure that he'd been told since birth would come to pass. There were five gards and they were closeing in on him. Then he had an idea he dove into an ally and climbed up the brick wall impressivly and ran tree roofs over and hid behind a garbage can, he heard the men rush by in cofushion 'Where'd he go. he just dissapered

Just as suddenly as the voices had come they went echoing down the dark musty street. Ashton let out a sigh of relife as he steped out from behind the garbage can. "You seem to have a knack for near death situations."

Ashton turned word the voice. He calmed after he saw that is was only Alice. The protected of fate and the wise. "Well that their call not mine. What are you doing here Alice?"

"I have some information I thought you might be interested in. But if your not interested in finding the perso who you've only been looking for for the past hundred years than I guess I'll be on my way."

Ashton's eyes widened at the thought. How on earth had she found the son of the moon. Unless this was a trick Alice always loved to play games but Ashton was smarter and quicker for if he himself could not find him than no one could. "And do you have any proof of this. Because last I heard you worked in a crazy persons worst nightmare."

"Oh that I do but this person in particular has the mark of the elf's. And yes I did take a picture just for you."

She pulled out her shiny white phone, pressed a few buttons and then turned the phone tword him. In the picture he saw a arm with a black design on it. His mouth dropped in awe. "That's not possible. Where is he? We have to get him to a safe place before Vince finds him!"

"Calm down! I have already arranged that he be moved to London where he can train to become a fierce warrior. But there are two things of bad news though."

He turned and started packing up and down the ally way. At the sound of those words he turned his head sharply. "What? What is it?"

"One Vince has already found him. And two the people who I arranged to have him live at said no that they can't afford another mouth to feed. So I was kind of hoping that you and him could sare an apartment and that you can train her."

She said this with a sheepish look on her face but there was not arguing with her. Besides if he was the one to train him than he could make sure it was done correctly. "Fine. "I'll start looking for a house in London. When do you need it by?"

"Next week. Oh and try not to get to mad at me when the suprize shows up and here's my number for when you get angry and call me wanting to know why I didn't tell you."

This caused Ashton some confusion. But he didn't have time to ponder the possibilities of what might lay in store for him. He gave Alice his back and then swiftly moved into the next ally without another word.

As Ashton unlocked the door to his ruddy apartment in downtown Portland he began to wonder what sort of suprize Alice had ment and why she told him that he would be mad. Though he scraped the tought from his mind and slumped onto his couch. He pulled his laptop from the small pouch at the side of the couch. He pulled up a browser and began typying. Wile he typed he coulden't keep his mind from drifting to thoughts about the Son Of The Moon. What did he look like? What was his skill level? He thought about this for several minutes and had a pretty good image of what he may look like.

About an hour later Ashton had found a nice two story house with a great view and a long forest at it's side. He took a look at the bedrooms there were four. Even though there would be only two of them the extra space would help it to feel less crowded. The kitchen had all the apiences needed and even included a small island in the middle of it. After he had looked at the whole house he sent a link to Alice for approval. He then got up and took the amulets casting out of the old well used bag he had used to steal it. He removed his suitcase from the self of his closet and set it on the bed. He packed all of his positions which was not a lot and went back to his computer. A little red light was flashing whitch meant that he had an email. He opened it and inside was a letter saying that he needed to pack and get on the first flight to London. Also that The Son Of The Moon will be waiting with her inside the house and that everything was taken care of. He then switched to googal and bought a plane ticket to London he then picked up the suitcase and the amulet and walked out of the apartment. He got in his black Mersadies and drove the two hours to the air port.

It was a seven hour fight before he landed. He got into a taxi and drove to the address emailed to his phone via Alice. The house was even greater in person. There was a large yard in the back perfect for weapon training. A forest at the side with no path which was perfect for tracking, agility, and camping. Past the yard a beautiful lake rested peacefuly as if paited. He walked the four steps leading to the front door. As he stepped inside he saw Alice in the middle of the room. Most likely examining the quality of something. As she turned his gaze on him she smiled. "Well look who finally showed up. Now would you like to see your suprize.

She didn't give him time to answer and she sidestepped.

His eyes widened and his mouth was agape.

"Alice. I'm going to kill you."
