3 So how powerful is this Stranger, you were pretty freaked when he showed Yeah I had no idea you were such a wimp hmph... well, it's true Aki c'mon I forgave him, so should you I forgave him, yeah but he's such a wimp Oh, leave me alone.. * Owain listens intently from his dark little corner seat, fiddling idly with his staff. He looked like a shadow He was odd Well...trust me..you wouldn't last 5 seconds against that guy... oh really why? * Aki walks over and sits with Owain You say he looked like a shadow..well, he is like a shadow... * Drake has a look of cockiness upon his face If you're lucky enough to even get a hit off him.. * Owain glances over at Aki, then continues watching Zepp. Drake don't get over confident You will still die... Oh no a shadow Normal weapons are of no use.. Drake normal black magic will not harm him.. * Drake plays some Abba Don't underestimate your enemy maybe a truly powerful dragonmaster could stand a small chance...but thats about it Don't get stupid, boy...this Stranger guy's obviously magic. that's the first thing they taught us in my class Hmm black magic does not hurt him Does it heal him? you can't fight fire with fire i dunno...but it doesn't hurt him, thats all i know * Aki whines If you do not give a straight answer I will make you listen to this whole CD this is really gonna suck First you have to hit him with the spell, which is just about nearly impossible to begin with Oh wait you are answering Enough of this * Drake turns the cd off there will be a magic that works dragon magic is about the only thing you'll have a chance with and I can think of only one place where we can find it but...well..only dragonmasters wield that..and i dont see a dragonmaster around here * Aki yawns and pokes Owain * Drake is puzzled "Dragon magic??" Oh dragonpower yea.. You need the armor for that though * Owain pokes Aki back. Anyway the place for magic is.......................Vane *whisper* do you understand any of this? I suppose this is the line where you say "I will find the dragon armor and defeat him!" right? ah vane...its been a while since ive been there Zepp, don't be sarcastic easier to get there since it does not float anymore He lost his parents, afterall well he ain't the only one ya know Vane? Never been there... *whisper* Not a clue...some of it, snatches... *whisper* What's Vane? It will be nice to see my old mentor again...

"Feed him that!" he yells out. * Aki tosses Zepp some tofu * Aki hits Owain in the back of the head with her fist *munch* mmmm *munch* thanks *munch* Don't throw lint covered food at me!!! I have to leave * Drake locks himself in the guest room I did not mean to upset him * Zeppelin walks back into the room * Owain keeps petting the dragon, pondering what he's just heard. * Aki GOES TO THE ROOM and knocks on Drake's door whats goin on? Drake locked himself in He's still just sensitive on his father, Azuro. Drake! Let me in... He'll come around. *munch* why is that? * Drake muffled "Go away" Owain... he just lost his parents a few days a go I know...
