The next morning while preparing for class to begin the words from Christopher come to the forfront of her mind.

"They know you are here."

Who would know or even care if a half demon chose to live among humans as far as the demon world cared I was an even bigger outcast to them then humans. The humans could not smell by demon blood or see any outward appearance of my demon half. As the children arrive for the day she puts on a face of cheerfulness and puts the encounter of the night before out of her mind, her focus is these children and not some unknown person or persons that may wish her gone.

After Robin had left for the night, Christopher went to bed, not even thinking to call for Decker. He remember her words, and for some reason hoped she would come back to visit, or to paint the sunsets of the valley.
Christopher awoke to the sound of footsteps oustide his door, which was fairly hidden out of the way, so not many people realized it was there. He jumped out of bed quickly, thinking it was Robin began to make his way up the steps only to find a strange man enjoying the sunrise. Never in all his time here had he been interrupted by so many different people. On top of all that, he sensed that another being was near. Not in town, but close. This was something he couldnt quite put his finger on.
"Is there something i can help you with? Are you lost?" He asked the strange man, a little agitated. He wasnt used to dealing with people unless they were on the battlefeild, but alas, they were in a holy place so he had to treat them with some respect. Christopher stretched his wings and yawned while waiting for the mans reply.

Frightened from someone who had just spoke to him William just jumped a bit and turned around
"Oh sorry if i woke you sir...i was just walking around the cathedral waiting for the elder to come back and take me to a person that can dispel a spell that i have on me...i'll leave you here to sleep again and i'm sorry that i woke you up"
With that William started heading down the stairs....

[Deus]

"Are you always this forward with personal issues?" Christopher asked.
He didnt know what to make of the man. Open and honest though, something Christopher could applaud.
"However, I am the one you seek. Ive been helping the priest for the past little while with such problems. It will take me some time to prepare, so perhaps you should come back at sundown."
Christopher left the roof and went back to his room. Laying back down he decided to sleep for a few more hours. He would need his stength for tonight.

Awaking at midday, Dragoon begins packing up his belongings as he is still a few hundred yards from the edge of town.

Stepping to the edge of the woods Dragoon notices that about 40 yards to the south the woods run right up to the town. He begins at a moderate pace towards the buildings on the edge of the woods

*Almost Dusk*
Stepping into the edge of town Dragoon makes a line straight for the tavern. Taking care not to hit his head as he steps into the tavern. Dragoon finds a nice little table in the corner and sits down

"What'll ya have?" Waiter

"Two of your finest cuts of meat and a glass of your best rum" Dragoon

"That will be 25 gold pieces"

Dragoon hands him 50 gold pieces "Keep the rest kid"

[avenging fury]

"Yes i am very forward about things." William told the man as he flew up out of the tower

As he headed down the stairs he heard the elder
"Hello elder how are you today"
"Greetings William. I'm good now with your blacksmithing oppertunity just go to the middle of town and you will see signs that will lead you there. Once there tell them that I sent you"
"ok thank you sir"
With that William left the cathedrel. He went to the center of town and followed sign posts til he found his way to the blacksmith

"Excuse me sir i've been sent to be a blacksmith by the elder. He spoke of i needed some experience in blacksmitthing to get this job."
"Ah yes he spoke of a man that would come. Yes you will need the expirence before you can ever think of being a blacksmith here. If you would please show me what you can do so we can determine if you are of standards"
After the blacksmith said that William grabed his tools and made a finely crafted sword that look like it came from the gods.
"I shall wield this sword and call it the hot water"
Amazed at Williams work the blacksmith said "Your in now. Can you create more of those swords?"
"I'd rather not sir I wish this sword to be one of a kind. Its a claymore but in my other form It will be just a long sword."
"What other form do you talk about?"
William told his story while working all day. An hour before 6 pm the elder came and took william to a small home on the outskirts of the town.
"Theres your new home and heres the keys. *Elder gave William the keys to his house* Now you need to go to the cathedrel and in the bell tower talk to Christopher to dispel your human form."
"Thank you elder i will head to the cathedrel now to speak with Christopher"

William went straight to the cathedrel and straight up the bell tower...

[Deus]

Christopher awoke around mid day, and went straight up to the bell tower. Sitting down, he began to meditate. It had been a while since he did any healing or cure spells, so he might of been a bit rusty. What seemed like 10 minutes was really hours and in no time he heard the footsteps of william behind him.
"I was wondering when you would show." Christopher said as William came out onto the roof.
Christopher looked up to make sure it was him. And then motioned for him to sit in front of him.
"As soon as your ready we'll begin."

When the day finished and all children had headed home, Robin sat in the classroom looking over the children's work of the day. Just before sundown she packed everything up and locked the door and headed home. Before heading to the bell tower she changed into a nice summer dress, nothing fancy but still flattering to her petite figure with a lovely flower pattern to it. She grabbed her canvas and paints and on her way to the cathedral she decided to stop at the market and pick up some fruit. A few apples should be just perfect while she painted. As she entered the cathedral the priest stopped her.

"Tonight is not good for you to go up, you should come back latter." priest

"But why father? Christopher did not say I would be an intrusion to him." Robin

"That is not it child, you should leave now understand!" Priest

nodding "Yes father I shall go, till tomarrow then, goodnight." Robin

with a feeling of loss and disappointment Robin turned and headed back home. Since she had yet to eat she decided to stop at the tavern, for dinner as she had not yet had time to stock her home kitchen. As she entered she headed to an open table near the fire, for she was always cold in the evening.... because of her demon blood.

"Ya welcome miss klyne, what would you like this evening?" waiter

"Hello, i'll take a glass of cider and .... how about a phesant dinner tonight." Robin

"Alright just a moment." waiter


Robin sits and stares into the flames wondering what could be taking place in the bell tower that she would not be allowed up there this evening.

[avenging fury]

"sorry had to get myself a house from the elder."
William sat in the chair in front of Christopher
"I'm as ready as i'll ever be." William said a little scared of what he was going to look like. Its been years he thought as he was thinking of how he would look like. Maybe I won't have the blood red scales like i used to he kept thinking. He looked up stoped thinking and prepared for a huge change.

[Deus]

Chrstopher bowed his head and put his hands together. He began reciting sacred words over and over. There was nothing at first, no change. Christophers words grew louder. After a few more moments a white glowing aura began to form around Christopher. His words grew louder still, until it was a scream that echoed through the town and valley. people would stop and stair at the cathedral, only seeing a tinge of light coming from the roof. The pupals of chrstiphers eyes disappeared, his wings became outstretched and the aura grew brighter still. then suddenly an aura began to form around william. He rose from his seat and hung in the air as if suspended from a string. Christopher was growing tired at this point, but he had to continue, wiliams life now depended on it.
Christopher stoped reciting the sacred words and looked up at william.
"I command thy evil spirits to leave this host! Break thy spell upon him, set his spirit free!"
The aura around william got brighter, so bright one couldnt see the change take place. For a few moments it shone like a beacon above the cathedral, lighting up the town, the whole valley. Then it was gone. William droped to the ground, now looking much different. Christopher could barely stand, but made his way to Williams side.
"how do you feel?" Christopher asked, make sure he was ok.

[avenging fury]

A little shocked at what happened he looked up.
"A little shook up but fine."
William looks down and see's his blood red scales and black dragon skin.
"still the same color as i used to be. I just hope the towns folks won't be calling me satan for my horns wings and blood red scales. I can't thank you enough for riding me of my human form. Now I need to head home for a nights rest. As I see you need it to. Thanks again. Bye"

With that he grabbed his sword and walked down the stairs.
The priest looked up at William amazed and looked scared.
"William?"
"Yes?"
"You look devilish my child."
"Yes elder I do look devilish but if the towns folk don't judge me from my looks i might be able to get some friends."

As he headed out the cathedrel and went through town he got numerous looks and everyone looked scared. When he got home he was realived that the elder had given him a house with raised ceilings and door ways so he wouldn't have to duck everytime he was home.
"I will have to work some to be able to afford some furniture. In the morning i'll go to the tavern get some breakfast and stock up on food."
With that he headed inside for some sleep.

[Mahdi]

"Waiter"

"Yessir?"

"Can I have a room for the night?"

"5 gold pieces please" Dragoon handed him 10 gold pieces and walked up the stairs to the first available room for the night. He took off his armor and laid down his swords

"In the morning I will have new axes made" he said to himself as he drifted off to sleep

[avenging fury]

As William woke he shocked himself in a mirror forgeting that he was in his dragon form. He headed to the tavern, went and sat down.
"What do you want?"
"I'll have a glass of rum and I'll have some ham and sausage please"
"That will be 20 gold sir."
William hands him 20 gold.
"Thank you sir. Your breakfast will be here shortly. Heres your rum."
"Thank you"
After about 5 miniutes his breakfast arrived.
"Thank you."
After breakfast William headed to the market and bought enough groceries to last him a week or two.
He took his food back to his house and then headed towards the blacksmith.
"Um may i help you sir?" Blacksmith
"Hi just back here to work again." William
"I don't think you work here sir."
"Yes i do i made this sword yesterday and my names William>"
"oohh William. You've *slight pause* changed a bit."
"I had a spell cursed on me like i told you yesterday and it is now no longer."
"Well glad to hear that. Now I need you to make a full set of steel armor. The materials are over in the corner. On the armor i need you to put the Gothic Town Flag in trim on every piece. Its for one of the high guards and he heard of you being new and wants to see how good you are"

With that he made the armor, let it cool and put the trim on.
"Its done sir"
"Oh good. Now take it to the north eastern guard tower."
William grabbed the armor and flew off to the north. He spotted the tower and landed near it. He went inside.
"State your buisness" - guard
"I'm here to deliver armor that a high guard requested"
"Oh he is in the office go through the door to your right"
William nodded and went through.
"Your armor sir."
"So your the new blacksmith named William. I thought you were human."
"I was but it was a spell. i had it removed from me yesterday and now i'm in my dragon form. I hope your pleased with your armor. and now I must be off i have work to do in the blacksmith."
William left the guard towers flew around the town once and then landed at the blacksmiths.

"There is nothing left to be built now. If something comes i'll inform you. Until then make some axes. We can see how good you are at crafting those."

William went and crafted 2 axe heads that looked like the size that a dragon would use and the trim of dragons on both sides of each axe. He put the heads on long sticks. He carved the wood to make it look like a dragons tail.

"These axes are done sir."
"Put them on display"
William put the freshly made axes on a display rack, turned around and sat down there was nothing left for him to make.

[Mahdi]

Dragoon wakes up and gets his armor back on before he heads down stairs. Stepping up the the bar. "Where is the Blacksmith?" Dragoon inquires as the bartender gives him directions... Following the directions that the Bartender gave him, Dragoon makes his way through town.

Walking up the the Blacksmith he enters and admires the sword on the wall as he awaits someone to greet him

[avenging fury]

William looks around for the blacksmith that usualy handled things around the smith. He couldn't find him so he went up to the stranger.
"Hello may i help you sir?"
