The dark night sky fills the area. as the star light shines upon Gripper Orietia as he arrives. Gripper looks around to find not a sound of life to be spotted anywhere near him. --What happened here--, he thought as he looked around at the cold, damp, dead town.
He walks into the city a bit more but yet he finds nothing but run down buildings and broken hopes that he might find something living on this hell whole. Gripper seen a near by store that reads "Rock Shine Inn" he looks up at the sky and realizes that he has been wondering for to long. He goes inside and looks around once again. Nothing but broken tables old wine bottles and cobwebs. "HELLO!" Gripper shouts... nothing.
Gripper walks up the stairs he thinks to himself -- well at least its nice and quite -- Snap, one of the steps break as Gripper stepped on it. Gripper stops a listens to it fall to the basement... click, click, click, thump. Gripper realizes that it was a normal sound and starts walking but as he reached the top floor he hears something run in the basement and a door slam shut. Gripper almost turns around to go investigate but remember why hes there in the first place, rest. He opens up a room and blocks the door from anything coming in and gets his rest on a cold dusty bed, for now it will have to do.

"Crap...night...." And elf said, walking out from underneath a pile of rubble. "This is when the delvers come out....." Kiu said, running up a set of broken stairs. He tried to open the door, onto to find it locked on the other side. "Fine...." He mumbled, moving the junk infront of the door with his magic. running in and shutting the door he turned around and saw a delver on the bed. "Uh-oh...." He said, walking backwards towards the door. "OW!" He yelled as his foot went straight through a floorboard.

Gripper turns his head and sees a elf screaming in pain. He looks at the once blocked off door and realizes that elf has magic. Gripper picks up his dagger and aims it for the elf's head. "What is your purpose for being here elf?"

"Ow....I was...ow...trying to get away from...ow....Delvers like you." Kiu said, trying, unsuccessfully, to pull his leg out unsucessfully. Only damn things I can't hypnotise.... He thought. "Then I came in here trying to...ow...get away from them....just to-ow...find you here...Now I'm stuck." He said, mumbling the last part. "There!" He said, finally breaking his leg free of the floorboard. The glistening red blood dripping down his leg. "Now...I'll just be leaving...." He said, grinning as he turned around. Crap! Never turn your back on a delver! He thought, but continued to walk towards the door.

A black shadow creped over Kiu as he limped away. You don't look very well to be doing ... what every you do. Gripper said with a smile on his face. I might have a job for you. You stand Guard of the room doorway as I get some rest, when I awake we can talk some more. the reward is I don't kill you. Grippers body cover almost like a shadow turns back toward the room and fades away back into bed

"Alright...." Kiu said, as if he astually had a choice. Well...This is great...he's probably going to kill me in the morning...but hey. Another noght of living- Oh shit...I'll be outside, where the other delvers aare...Damn.... he thought, walking out the door, shutting it, and then leaning on it. "May as well get a bit of shut-eye myself." He mumbled, pulling his long hair away from his eyes, so that if anything woke him up, he could immobilize them instantly. He was a very light sleeper.

Gripper wakes up to see that Kiu is sleeping on the job. Gripper grabbed his big black Gothic boots and slipped them on and prepared for a new day. -- He looks like he needed the rest -- Gripper thought as he looked down on the Kiu. Gripper sits back down on the bed and takes out a note pad a paper and starts to write as the sun shinned through the window he knew he had time to spare.

"Uh? Wha?" Kiu said, snapping awake. "Oh...right...." He mumbled as he shook his head, his hair falling back infront of his eyes. He wondered how long it would be until the Delver killed him. "There. I did it. Now. What did you mean by having us 'talk'?" He asked, using air quotations when he said 'talk'.

Gripper snapped his note book shut. "Why did you come here, I mean besides running away from Delvers how did you get caught up here anyway?" He said with a deep level toned voice.

"You mean here in Kizuume? Easy: No home, So I'll sometimes drift around here." Kiu said, standing up. "Now, I really must be going." He said, walking towards the door.

"Alright, nothings stopping you. what kinda of items do you have on you by the way? I might go pick them off you dead corps after those Delvers get at you" Gripper said with a grin on his face as if he was giggling in his head.

"I'm safe during the day. They don't attack as much." Kiu grumbled, shutting his eyes and then magically setting Gripper's foot on fire. "And there aren't that many Delvers anyway. Thy're rare, especially during the day. there about five in all of Kizuume." He said as he walked out the door. He was ready for the Delver to run through the door in anger, so he prepared an immobilization spell. It wasn't that great, but it would have to do.

"YOU LITTLE BRAT! YOUR LUCKY I WEAR BOOTS!" Gripper yelled as he put out the fire. Gripper got up as if to leave with Kiu and headed to wards the door. "I've got something to check on anyway, so ill probably be spending the day here anyway or at least whats left of this place." gripper said in his oh so normal emotionless face.

"Hmph..." Kiu said as he imobilized Gripper. "It'll wear off in five minutes." He said, jogging off. I hope...he's a Delver...they sometimes break through it in seconds.... He thought, still jogging so that he didn't seem scared.

Gripper easily broke out of the immobilization spell and fallowed Kiu down stairs and watched him jog out the front door. He shut the door and locked it after as if he wanted nothing to leave the building. He looked toward the basement, Gripper shrugged and started heading down the basement.
