The leader snapped a whip at Darishan, flicking his arm, "I ask questions, not you. You're from Twilight Moon, aren't you? Did the HM send you to spy!?"

Darishan just continued to stare, not answering. This was his new school, and he supposed he even felt a small sense of loyalty to it.

Elliot sat in silence, too. Unlike Darishan, he didn't speak due to loyalty. He just didn't like giving people like this Leader what they wanted.
------------------------------------------------------
The Leader's eyes narrowed, "So I'll take that as a yes. Fine. As of now, Naut'shinder Village and Twilight Moon are in WAR!" He yelled loudly, and ran away. The door shut heavily behind him, encasing everyone in darkness once more.
------------------------------------------------------
The crazy man was the first to talk, "Yeah, that was really stupid of you two."

"Idiot," Darishan muttered, looking up. Twilight Moon had elite teachers of all races and magical skills, fighting skills, and abilities, or so they said. This place would be demolished to the ground if they attempted such a hopeless ploy. He looked at the shackles with thoughtful eyes, then at the corpse nearby. Using his fingers, he started tracing symbols very carefully in the dirt.

Crazy Man laughed, "So do they! Don't you know the origins of Naut'shinder village? Well, I assume not, so let me tell you.
Long, long ago in the Twilight Moon Territory, there was on group of people, more commonly known as the Gifted. They lived in a small village and taught younger ones to control their power to the best of their ability. But as new students came from distant lands, the Leader of the Village wanted to build an Academy for them.
At first, the tribe agreed with his idea. But as their home turned more civilized, using technology they hated, some of the Villagers rebelled.
The Gifted split in two, and the native half ran into the Forest nearby. When the Academy workers chased after them, the Natives used up much of their power to create a canyon of Fire and Water to show the new line of territory on the island, then recreated their Village within the second half of the Forest, which they renamed Light Forest.
Ever since, if a student happened to cross the Canyon, they'd be captured unmercifully by the Natives and thrown in, well, here. Though the two groups have lived in silent coexistance with one another, they're both always prepared to attack each other for silly reasons. If there was some sort of peace pact between them... It would be so much better."
He ended his monologue with a hacking cough. Apparantly he hadn't said so much in such a short period of time in a while.

Darishan gave the symbols one last look over, then he placed his hands on the dust and blew it at the half-rotten man. The dust took on a blue glow and drifted slowly onto the body, and soon the body began to glow. Darishan closed his eyes, whispering very fast in another language. The body went to a green glow, then back to blue, and finally, Darishan opened his eyes.
The corpse got unsteadily to its feet and hobbled over next to him, breaking it's own arm off and using the fractured bone as a lock pick for the shackles. Then it went over and did the same for Elliot, and then the old man. With a shudder the light left the body, and it collapsed on the floor. Darishan got to his feet and leaned against the wall.
"There's still the cell, but at least we're free to fight if they come back in," he said softly.

Elliot kicked open the door, sending it flying into the distance, "You forget Wolves are stronger than humans." He smiled, though.
Looking back at the Crazy man, he said, "Aren't you comming?"
------------------------------
The old man laughed, "Heck no! I've been sitting for over twenty years, remember? If I got up, I'd probably crumble and die. I'll just sit here and listen to the Music of the battle."
------------------------------
Slightly disgusted, Elliot began walking out the door, checking back if Darishan was comming.

Darishan shrugged and followed Elliot. The natives would be unhappy to find their guests had left without paying.
