The Heirs (-Invisible- & Brookgirl) 1x1

[Black Velvet]

River nodded, head down, worried that he would use the flames if she didn`t co-operate. Slowly, she opened the spell book and began to leaf through the pages, reading the spells quietly.

Hestia sat reading some spells of her own, bored. She could NOT wait for the duel... at least THAT would be entertaining. Sighing, she pulled a hair brush through her hair, smooth and un-tangled as always.

[fly away.]

Drake walked away, going to his room. He sat down, picking up a cell phone, dialing Hestia's number, and waiting for her to answer.

Jason said another spell, and another. He flipped the page, trying to take all the important spells to heart, as quickly as possible. He needed to win this thing.

[Black Velvet]

Hestia picked up the phone, checking her caller ID, "Drake?"

River continued to read, watching the sun move a bit, and feeling the shadows of noon begin to creep in. She did not want to hurt anyone, and looked mostly at the defensive spells- though she knew it was a mistake.

[fly away.]

Drake heard her voice, "Hestia, is your slave almost ready?" He asked, his voice serious.

Jason didn't have a general focus of the spells he was reading, but his light was fading. He now had to squint his eyes to look at the page, and once he saw the spell, he would say it aloud, just to feel its presence on his toungue.

[Black Velvet]

"Yes, I think so... Sam gave her the book a couple hours ago." Hestia picked at her nails distractedly. They were long and sharp, just the way she liked them, but one had broken. Noticing these small things, she saw the fading light on her sheets.
"Make that a few."

River read all that she could, mostly from the defense section, as before.

[fly away.]

"Good, I guess I'll see you at the arena tomorrow?" Drake asked, looking out the window, watching the sun fall down. The light in his room fading, until he had to flip on his light switch.

Jason leaned his head against the tree, closing his eyes for just a second. Though, he fell asleep, not on purpose.

[Black Velvet]

"Yeah, sure...now let me get some sleep", said Hestia miserably, hanging up and dialing Sam to bring Jason to the slave quarters, where he would have a small room with a bed, a chair, a lamp, and a dresser to himself.
Sam saw that Jason was asleep, and carried him (and the book) to his room in the slave quarters.

River had already fallen asleep, sitting on the ground, and leanoing against the wall.

[fly away.]

Drake saw that River was asleep, and waved one of his slaves, a boy around the age of eighteen, to carry the girl to her room. It was a tiny room with a cot in it, and a small desk off to the side.

((Time skip to tommorrow?! YAY!))

[Black Velvet]

(( XD ))

Hestia woke up excited about the duel, and walked off to where it would occur, beginning to set up the extra sheilds around the arena.
Sam went to Jason`s room and knocked loudly on the door.

River woke up on a cot in a small room. She had fallen asleep! What a waste of time! She dressed quickly in some servant`s clothes draped over the end of her bed, then brushed through her tangles with the pocket brush she had in the pocket of her jeans, putting it into the pocket of the servant`s simple pants- good quality, but downright ugly- along with a couple of coins and a small drawstring bag that held those items special to her. Then she sat reading from the spellbook while she waited to be called upon- she did not want to re-live the experience of Drake finding her wandering the halls.

[fly away.]

Jason awoke, startled, when he heard the loud knock. He wondered where he was, but he knew that he was on Hestia's property. He got up, running his fingers through his hair, and opened the door. "Yeah?" He asked, looking at Sam. "I mean, uh, yeah?" It was too early to think of things to say. He was not a morning person.

Drake sent Jessica to get River, then he went to the arena as well, and helping Hestia set up the walls.

Jessica went over to River's door, knocking on it. "River?" She asked, opening the door, "Good your up." She smiled, "Drake said something about a duel."
