Kai came to a stop and stood there stiffly, facing the man. "He was easy, I even had a drink afterwards. Of course some idiot decided to be a hero and fight me too, but he was easy too." she said to the man.

He held his hand out. "You retrieved it, yes?" he asked firmly.

Kai raised her hand, palm up, and a small object appeared. "Of course."

He smiled. "How could I ever doubt you?"

She floated the orb to him, catching it. "That sphere must mean alot to you, or your imployer, I should say." she said, rolling her eyes.

"More than you can imagine," he said, putting the sphere out of sight.

"I can imagine alot." she replied. "I was just thinking the other day, am I a hunter or a mercanary? The line between the two has drifted over the years and I can no longer tell what I am."

He hesitated. "What do you want to be?"

"I don't have a prefrence anymore. I'm just...here."

He nodded. "You will know your place in this world. When you do, you will see that you are on the right side. The good side."

Kai sighed. "I certainly hope not. I have been hoping I have been on the other side where it's darker."

"I was just saying it to cheer you up." he said, grinning.

"Don't, it only makes me even more bitter than I already am." She rubbed her neck, "How many more spheres do you need, Gippal?"

I've been following the woman since the tavern. She's meeting with Gippal, leader of the Dragoons. I don't know what that sphere is, but I doubt it's a good thing for the Dragoons to have it.

Kai eyed the sphere Gippal was stashing away. He noticed and he couldnt help but chuckle. "You have something against spheres?"

She nodded slowly. "I see no point in looking into the past."

"I see them as profit." he said, hesitating. "What do you see them as?" he asked curiously.

"Trifles." she said simply.

A seeing stone, perhaps? Hmm... I'll have to look into this. But for now, I have a mission. I slip away to the main headquarters.

Zephine had followed Kai, she noticed the man from the bar had followed her too. she stepped out of the shadow and spoke, "Kai."

Kai turned when she heard her name called. "Who in hell is it?" she snapped.

She heard Kai speak, "You know who it is!"

"What are you doing here? I have arrangements of my own, you know." she said, rolling her eyes.

"Doing the same thing some one else decided to do, Following you!"

"Always following the crowd, are you? You are so weak." she said, walking away from her.

"Don't you walk away from me Kai! You can't turn your back on your sister Kai!" she yelled to her back.
