"This place smells... so musty," Bella muttered aloud to herself. "I can't even find a decent chair to rest in..." She'd come across the fortress while on a stroll though the woods around it. She was tired, and desired to rest, so the though of an entire fortress to herself seemed nice. Once she had gotten inside she'd lit a few lights with her Fire Magic, allowing her to see a bit more clearly. However, the place was old, and as most every chair was wooden, they had all but rotted. Luckily for Bella, she just found a chair made of metal, with cushions on it. She sat down, and started to get comfortable when she looked out a window. She saw a bright aura off a ways, just coming out of the forest. She walked to the window and looked more closely. From here she couldn't make out the form of who it was, but she did know that this person was alligned with a good side.

After a moment the person started to come up to the fortress. She peered down, out the window, to see what this person, who she could now see to be a man, would do. Something got the better of her, and she decided to go speak to the man, rather than just observe. She jumped out the window, and floated down silently to the ground behind the man. "Excuse me, sir? Are you looking for someone or something here?" She asked him softly.
