"Che cosa sono quelli? What are those?" Her elven blood was forgotten almost immediatly. He examined the cards, sharp green eyes sparkling in delight. "What do they do?" His voice was quick in excitement, and it was hard to hear through the accent. "Well?"

Ace put two of the cards away in her pack, still holding the 'flame' card. "These 'crest' cards, draw on my magical energies and convert them to whatever element is on the card. The cards themselves are drawn from the element itself. For example; right now, I could make another light card with all the sunshine around."
She tossed the card high into the air and caught on a high-flying model plane. "Once the card is in place, you say a spell related to card. Flame!" THe card glowed and burst into flames, catching the model on fire as well, eventually turning it into dust. "Not all of them are destructive, but... they drain your magical abilities quick, if you're not careful."

It's so easy to destroy and condemn.
Do you ever wonder if it's justified?

"Mm," said Teague, not convinced. He blinked once, and turned away from the card to watch her face. "Signora, in my excitement I seem to have forgotten. You never answered my question." He tried to smile at her, completley unconvincingly. "Perchè siete qui? Dove siete stati feriti? Che cosa è accaduto? " He blushed deeply, realizing the mistake. "I'm sorry," Teesh said, looking down at the grass beneath him. "I have forgotten myself."

"Look, they're just a way to transfer my energies into spells, that's really all." Ace said those words, after noticing his disbelief in her. Though, no matter what she said, he probably wouldn't believe her on that matter.

Teague was suddenly speaking an unknown language to her, in form of questions she could tell, but what the questions asked was another story. "Er, yes. Maybe just a little there. Though I will try and answer your question, as soon as you translate it for me," she said, with a soft smile."

"Il vostro forgivness. Your forgiveness. I merely asked how you came to be here and injured in such a way, truthfully." he stared at his shoes, turning a darker shade of crimson. A shallow bow, to hide his hot face, and disbelief in her powers.

Despite all this, Teague found himself humming. It was a bad habit of his, but true to his name, the wandering bard knew a hundred and one songs and stories. He listened to himself, to discover himself humming an old ditty, markedly Chinese, and quite apropriate. A long story-song, about a common man who dared to love the Emporer's daughter. She led him on, slept with him, bore his son. And then, when he asked for hand, she had him killed by her father. He sung the final words of the song under his breath.

"Not the daughter of a Dragon, but the Dragon Herself."

"Hey, you don't need to hide," Ace said, almost comfortingly. It was very awkward for her to do so, after all, as her family would say; she was no female.
"Well... in all honesty, I was indeed shot after causing explosion in front of my rival-friend. She was that shot me, in defense of someone. Couldn't tell exactly who, and I got her by hitchhiking and walking. There's no way, we could still be in the same town after that rage she showed."

Ace listened intently. No idea why, but she did. "It seems, a very sad story."

He shrugged with a small smile, and began from the begining, this time saying the words aloud for her to hear.

"Daughter of a Dragon,
And treasure of Gods,
Cruel, unrelenting, but, oh,
Such a sight.

With long dark hair,
And bright sharp eyes.
Cold and swift.
But beautiful to behold.

She lay beside him,
Felt his heat in the bed.
Bore him a son.
Then turned and fled.

Ignoring his gaze
Of lost longing.

Daughter of a Dragon,
And treasure of a God.
Cold, and harsh.

Not the Daughter of a Dragon,
But the dragon.

Herself."

((Sorry, wrote that myself just now. Was unsure how to make it sound Chinese-ish. ))

"Beautiful."

Ace leaned back on the wood, giving a queit and soft sigh. Closing her eyes, she rested her hands on her lap. "Do you imply something? Am I like the devious dragon?" Her voice was of the asking type, but not smug, or accusatory. That in itself, was very mysterious.

"No, it's just a song."

He gave her an unconvincing smile. "Plus, how may of my children have you borne?" He smiled again-this time genuine. "You see, I'm a bit of a wandering bard. Poetry, songs, dirges and ballads, that's about all I know. If you would like, I know other songs." He hummed a note, and then started on a new tune, not bright and angry like the other, but slow and sad.

"The Atlantic was borb today, and I'll tell you how...
The clouds above opended and let everything out.
Those people were overjoyed: They took to their boats.
It though it less like a lake, and more like a moat.
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing the flatlands to your door have been silenced forever more.
The distance is much to far for me to row.
It seems farther than ever before.
Oh no."

Ace shrugged. "Mm, you're right. Unless a year or two of my life was wiped from my memory; but, how likely is that?" Her eyes flashed opened, and reluctantly tore her hands away from each other. "I've got one.

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for ?
I guess I'm learning
I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning
Round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The show must go on."

"That's quite good," said Teague with an encouraging nod. "I'll remeber that one, for wherever I go next." He smiled up at the sky, finally happy, at least for a minute. "So, pray tell, where do you hail from? I mean, where were you born?"

Ace looked down from her momentary 'daydream' of contentness, and considered his question for a moment. Then remembered answering the question earlier. "I told you, from a different planet. A dying planet, more like it."
She sighed remembering the beautiful land that had suddenly, overnight turned to wasteland. Magic was lacking, and she was one of the few sent out to find ways to restore the planet.

"Mm. This planet's gone to the dumps, ever since... y'know..." he trailed off, assuming she knew the rest. "But some of us aren't lucky enough to have enough 'magic' to get away." He twirled his finger in the air, creating long streams of trailing light quickly wrapping his hand, like cotton candy, then dissapearing. "That's the best trick I can pull."

Cherry thought about something for a moment, before returning to her usual spot on the oak wood. "Well, if we're together long enough, I'll try and teach you crests cards. I think you know your limits well enough." SHe was actually serious when she had said this. Though, she knew he was a traveller and quite attatched to this world, so it might be a possibility this encounter would be their last.

Teague sat up and crossed his legs, smiled at her. "You could teach me now," His hair glinted in the sunlight, the color of polished bronze. "I'm willing to learn." He glanced again at her oddley colored hair and eyes, and thought to himself, How very little I know of this girl. And yet, here I sit, practically eating out of the palm of her hand.
