The Cursed sat on a fallen tree by the river. He wasn't as perky as usual, he felt sad and his mind wondered about a lot of things. It was rare for Izak to let him out, and when he did, here he is, sitting by the river staring at his reflection, being sulky. He gave a long sigh before turning to the sky.

What's wrong with you? I thought you'll be going around trying to kill somebody as soon as I release you. Izak joked.
I don't know. I think the fact that nobody, not even Lilith, knew my name, bothers me. All I ever do is use your name...it's starting to get on my nerves. He replied, jumping off the trunk and crouching down next to the river bank. And also...why do I kill for?

There wasn't a reply from the real one for quite a while. The Cursed continued to watch his reflection in the water. "It's sad, all I know is that I was the Demon Prince, I used to go around and kill anything that moved and that I was turned into a curse to cease my utterly pointless killing." He muttered to himself. Now he was starting to think...what's so good about killing? Sure demons kill, but why? Maybe Izak's personality really is starting to rub off onto him.

Well, I'm not sure about the killing but...how about I give you a name? Th real suggested.
"What name?" The Cursed stood up.
How about...Kazi? It's my name spelt backwards.
At first the Cursed just smiled and was thinking about rejecting it but he thought about it again. The smile turned into a grin. "Yeah...I like that name."
Glad you like it. Izak laughed. So, from now on, you're Kazi. Not Izak or Cursed.
"Well, I like how you say the name. Kazi, it sounds simple...and I think it fits me." Kazi laughed. "Yes, I am now Kazi."

A sound from behind jolted Kazi from his coversation with Izak. He turned around and pulled out his sword. "Who's there? Come out and play...I need something to lift my mood anyway." He wanted to make sure that whoever is there didn't know...too much...He didn't want that person, especially if the peson knows him or Izak or both, to use his new name.

'Almost...There'- Rieck thought as he was pulling the trees together again. He had oftentimes felt more like himself when he was in fact, with nature: alone. Rieck had a bit of a hill to get over getting to mingle with the other school kids. He often practiced Cha'kaning-na, his martial art, oftentimes to get comments that were whispered behind hands that were going into someone's Ear. Rieck shook his head and braced the tree again, tying the rope tighter.

A little known fact is that trees and other tall parts of nature were not meant to fall down. Nature will break down Metal and other mined materials before it could break down the complex bark from a tree. Rieck jumped from the ground to the top of a nearby tree; he hadn't even seen anyone around him. The Gauntlets around his wrists and forearms glittered in the light as he got lost in his own thoughts. He tied two more trees and made sure they could grow back together and grow sturdier. Wiping his brow he hopped to the next tree. Lost in his thoughts he fell as he connected to the branch.

The sound of metal clanking alongside wood intermingled as Rieck pulled himself from the wreckage and rubbed his head. It was about this time that Rieck realized that he was in fact, far from alone. Slowly turning around and summoning his Gauntlets around his hands; he stanced quickly as he sized up the man who approached with a sword.

Amy was quickly hopping from branch to branch up in the trees. This was her fun way of traveling, since she was alone, except for her alter ego.

She wished she was with Lyle, who had to leave suddenly when something unexpected came up in his world. Her enemy, Ludevec, was on the move again, and from what she heard from a few close friends she had met since she had came here, he now had two magic users on his side. Great, why can't he just leave me alone?

Something caught her eye down below, and she halted on one high branch in a nearby tree. There were two figures below, and she had recognized one of them to be Izak, the one who she met at the College. But the other was completely unfamiliar....

Her air-headed mind curious as always, she carefully hopped down from the tree, landing cat-like on the ground near the two figures. She was curious as to who the new one was....

Kazi stopped eyeing a figure beyond the bushes. He smirked before stabbing the sword into the dirt. "Why is there always more than one visitor?" He turned serious, staring into the bushes. "Who are you?"

He turned to the side. Someone was definately there, he could tell but he wasn't so sure who. He shrugged. "Can you all please come out? I don't like hide-and-seek that much." He laughed, hopefully showing that he wasn't going to attack.

Amy noticed that Izak looked a little different. At least his attitude was. "You should know me, Izak," She answered back, coming out of the brush. "Remember? I was in your class before."

Her small dragon-like alter ego swirled out from her necklace in reddish magic dust, and took its form on one of her shoulders. Amy.....There's something different about him. I don't know what, but I don't like it either.

Amy nodded in agreement. Something was definitely strange with him. Now her sense of curiosity was growing bigger.

Kazi stared hard at the girl before shaking his head. "Nope, don't know you. Sorry." He shrugged casually.

Amy! Her name is Amy, you dunce! Izak yelled.

"Erm...Amy?" Kazi tilted his head before sighing. One of the people that you are teaching? He could feel Izak nodding. "Right, Amy." He muttered, crossing out an invisible name on his invisible list.

He turned to the other fellow, smirking. "Who are you then?" He chuckled, folding his arms. "Care to introduce yourself?"
