"What are you? Who are you?... And thanks for the water... but be a bit careful with those claws of yours, you just pierced my cloak and scratched my hand, you Somethingorother... I'm kiya or Kiya, if you know what capital letters are" I said, sucking at the scratch and wondering if this adventure is going to cause me more blood, first my finger and now my hand. The creature was apparently too busy to answer.
I looked on the ground and found a small satchel which I opened curiosly, breaking a fingernail whilst fumbling with the fastener. In it were a few nifty little things - and a book. My eyes lightened up, I took it into my hand and read the cover: The Beginnere's Booke fore the Magi. Wow, doublewow, I started to browse it, and forgot everything around me.
"Let the others do the work, I'll sit down and read - no need for me to get busy and interfere," I mumbled and started to draw runes into the air, the one I had found on page 1.
"Ouch, would you mind and watch what you're doing?"
I looked up - the little imp was holding his ear and obviously trying to quench a small fire flame.
