A forgotten city in the middle of nowhere is the last place one would expect to see an army of children living. This is the home of Andor and his foster kids. Those that live here were mostly saved by Andor and brought in from slavers, or those he found with no home and less than nothing. The only other adults here are the only two henchmen of his whose loyalty lead them to follow him. Basil and Isk. A pair of Mystics born of magic that gave them human like form and intelligence. Currently the duo were watching two of the kids spar. "Come ON Sira!!! Raise your guard better. I almost had you." The boy yells. "I'm having trouble focusing while you wear that stupid mask Lance." Sira yells. The massive Isk laughs. "Ahh...these two never stop do they?" "We'll they are brother and sister after all." Basil says.

Odette walks over, Pabo sitting on her shoulders as he usually did. she watches the sparing a moment and then looks to Basil and Isk "Have you seen Anna? I can't find her anywhere."

"Nope." Isk says.
"Why? Think she wandered off?" Basil asks.

"Well, I think she may have gone for a walk again. And I'm worried she may have gotten lost without me...you know how she is sometimes." Odette says.
a very faint sound can be heard. it was high pitch and seemed to be getting louder and louder.
Odette turns and sees Anna running towards them. "Oh, nevermind there she is." she frowns "why is she making so much noise..."
"eeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" Anna screams, almost like she had seen a mouse, as she runs over to them. "Ew! Ew ew ew ewwwwwww!" she whines and runs around he three of them before tripping into her sister and rubbing her face in her chest "Ehhhhh Odeeeeette!" she cries.
"What's wrong Anna?"
"Ehhhhhhhh! Ewwwww! It was so creepy! and gross!" Anna whines

"What's wrong?" Isk says, summoning a massive club. "Do I need to smash something?"

"No..." Anna whines
"What happened Anna?" Odette asks
"I went for a walk, and, and there was a noise, and some light behind a rock. So went to see what it was, AND THERE WAS A DEAD GUY!!!" She cries
"A what?!" Odette looks at her
"There was a guy, just lying there. I poked him with a stick and he twitched! It was soooo groooss!"
"Anna if he moved he might not be dead." Odette says
"Oh.....well he was still barely clothed!" Anna whines. "Gross...."

"Lead me to it. Isk, stay and watch the others." Basil says.
"Gotcha." Isk says.

Anna nods "Ok..." she says and starts leading the way.
Odette follows "Did he look injured?"
"I didn't see anything." Anna says
"He might have just been sleeping...if he was traveling alone he might not have cared to wear much at night, and most people think nothing is up here." Odette says
"But there was't any supplies, and it would be an odd place to sleep." Anna says "But a good place to hide a corpse."

"The guy might have been short on supplies and passed out from lack of sustenance or exhaustion." Basil says. "Or maybe an escaped slave."

"We'll find out." Odette says
"I hope he's not dead...he was kind of cute." Anna says
"I thought you said he was gross."
"That's when he was dead. If he's just unconcious then he's a cutie, but still needs better clothes..." Anna frowns

"Ho boy, why do the weird things happen when the Boss is away?" Basil says rhetorically.

Anna leads them to an area a little away from the town. She stands behind Odette and points to some rocks "He's behind there." she whispers.
Odette steps closer and peaks behind the rocks. Sure enough lying behind them was a seemingly unconcious man. He was lightly tanned, had blondish brown hair, and was wearing some plain, loosly fitting shorts, and nothing else. The stick Anna had poked him with was lying on the ground near him.
"See...he's all...corpse like." Anna says quietly

"Right, that's why his stomache's moving up and down." A small voice to the left is heard. "Sonata, when did you get here?" Basil asks. "Around the time someone ran like a little baby to go get you." Sonata says.

Anna sticks her tounge out at her.
"She's right though, he's breathing." Odette says and moves in closer. she places a hand on him "But he's burning up, and judging by a lack of posessions and his attire, I think your theories are both accurate Basil."
"What do we do with him?" Anna asks
Pabu hops off Odette's shoulders and squirts water in the man's face. Odette frowns "Pabu don't do that, I know you're trying to help but it isn't nice."
The man frowns a little and makes a quiet groan.

"He's reviving, step back." Basil says. "Just to be safe."
"Really? I think I would take this guy the way he is." Sonata says.
"Not the point." Basil says.
