Tiwa

With school starting and everything else going on, Tiwa had been able to almost forget the shadows in Wellington.

Today sadly brought them back hard, because on her way to the Freehold with Tane, Liam and Meg, a Mage stepped from what felt the shadows. Liam's sword was halfway out as fire swirled around Meg's throat and he whispers,

"Not one move or fire will be traded for iron. No heroes here, today, elf."

Tiwa is almost on her toes ready to fly as she watches, a sharp curse is in the air as Liam lowers his sword. Again the Mage speaks as a crowd begins to gather since it seems like street theater and laughs, swirling the fire out to almost push Tiwa and Liam back.

She feels the heat on her feathers and watches Meg stand tall and proud, her red hair and the flames close in color as she says in the Mage's ear,

"Run away, little wizard."

The fire fades as he turns to look at her in surprise and in that moment, Liam punches him in the face and Meg runs out.

Before the Mage can do anything else, Tiwa who had pulled a poi from her pocket grabs their arms and in a flash of color they're inside Te Papa. Before the door, the crowd applauds and drops coins on the unconscious Mage.
