A/N: Hello everyone! I know it has been a long time since I have updated this story so let me answer a few questions for you guys:

Where Have You Been?: Well I'm a grown woman now and when I first started writing stories, I was only about 13 or 14 years old. Now that doesn't mean I stopped playing the Game or stopped writing. I just stopped posting stories online for a while. I'm very old school when it comes to writing ahaha. I like to write in a notebook, then type it up onto my computer and then upload it to said reading sites. To some, that might seem like nothing, but honestly it's a lot especially tying it along with my job and college. But Hey! 5 years is long enough to wait for a new chapter huh?

Why Is This Story Going So Fast?: Well as you all know how many worlds have come since the beginning of W101. And I feel like if I sat there and went on and on about EVERY single battle from EVERY world, this story would be way longer than it needs to be lol. So for the first couple of worlds I kind of want to go through them as fast as possible until we get to the places where the plot thickens a bit, because I personally think that the worlds past Dragonspyre are the best! ( But Dragonspyre in the juiciest part of this story so far lol)

If you guys have any other questions; do let me know!

-Shadows

It was hot. Too hot. Tara looked round at her surroundings.

'Lava?...'

Ancient ruins surrounded the area she was in. She was wearing green and black armor. A broken cowl that lay next to her was also the same colors, so she assumed that it was hers. Looking ahead of her she saw a girl. The aura surrounds her was a dark and gloomy gray. She had long black hair, but Tara was not able to see her face. Her tattered robes blew in the hot wind; exposing her wounds. The strange girl turned her head slowly toward Tara as fire embers flew past her face. Tara's blue eyes grew wide as the now exposed face of the girl came into her view. Tara took a step toward her, keeping her blue eyes, which matched this strangers identically, on her.

'W-who are you?...Where are my friends?!'

Suddenly a strong gust of wind blew in their direction; making Tara cover her face from the flying debris.

'Here He comes! Prepare yourself Sister!' the black haired mage yelled over the wind while gripping her staff.

'Sister?...' Tara opened her eyes to peer in front of her yet again. Her eyes widened as a man who's magical oozed off of his broad form. His aura was darker than the night and it looked like many creatures lived within. His receding hairline form into a strong widow's peak. His iris' were white and his sclera's were black. He had cat fish like facial hair and his finger nails were painted black. He had on black and gold robes with a matching staff.

'Prepare yourself my Children, for I shall teach you what true power is!'

A bright light shinned from the red orb on his staff which mad Tara shield her face once more and her world went dark once again…

When the dirty blonde opened her eyes in the dark room she almost didn't know where she was. The arm that was wrapped around her tightened slightly as the figure behind her rose up.

"Tara? What's wrong? You were sweating all night…" Connor's voice was deeper than usual hence that he had just woken up, but he still managed to speak in a low enough voice that it did not make anyone else stir. The sun was setting in Marleybone and the city started to come alive.

"I had a dream… and I didn't quite understand it. I saw these two people… who I have never seen before…" Tara paused and blushed deeply and she thanked the stars that he couldn't see her face. "C-connor… your arm…"

Connor quickly removed his arm that was wrapped around Tara's waist. "s-sorry… I… uh… sorry." The ice mage stumbled out his words while he eased out of the bed. Clearing her throat, Tara got out of the small bed herself and peered around the room. Everyone was still asleep.

"Did you pack any clothes by chance? I know this trip was a bit last minute." Tara whispered.

"Yeah. I always have an emergency bag packed and ready." Connor beamed like he was the first to answer a question in class.

Tara slightly rolled her eyes at her friend as she walked towards the door. "I'll go find Mr. Pembroke and see if there's a place where we can freshen up, while you wake up the others." And with that, Tara left through the giant double doors.

A few hours later, the group of 5 all stood in their room dressed and ready to go. Mr. Pembroke stood in the midst of them.

"Now you all should go see Mayor Pimsbury. He might be able to give you all the access you need to the Krokonomicon. That's the only thing I think this Malistare person might be after here."

The five looked around at one another and nodded in unison; all heading out the door as a group. Tara left Dana behind because Marleybone was quite a tight city and she knew she wouldn't be able to roam the streets easily. Tara and Connor led the way as Emma, Donna, and Mariah followed behind.

When the group finally arrived at Digmore Station, it was very easy to spot the Mayor. He was surrounded by city folk and the press. "Well great. How are we going to get to him like this?" Emma huffed.

"E-emma? Don't get worked up. We don't know if you're fully well yet." Donna gave a worried sigh.

"I'm fine. I promise." Emma puffed her cheeks as she looked up at her bandaged head that she could not actually see.

"I'll try and get his attention." Mariah said. "I feel like I haven't done anything yet so maybe I can succeed at this." The petite girl walked up to the crowd and tried to push her way through but her efforts were no good. She was just too inferior compared to the almost 7 foot tall dog humans.

"Let me try something out." Connor thought out loud to himself more than of him speaking to the group. He looked down at his trusted pet Rex and in return Rex looked up at Connor with understanding. Rex squeezed his way through the crowd and disappeared in no time. A few minutes passed and Connor started to get restless. As soon as the teen was about to go in after his pet, the sea of dogs split and out came the Mayor holding a yapping Rex in his arms.

"You don't say young lad? What?! This young human is your parent? Unreal!" The Mayor stopped in front of the group of 5. "Ah, hello wizards. This young lad here has told me that you all need my assistance?" All 5 of the teens looked at one another and then returned their attention back to the Mayor as Connor spoke.

"Yes Mayor….uh…" he trailed off.

"Mayor Pimsbury!" the dog man chirped as Rex jumped down from his arms. With a tight nod Connor continued to explain their predicament to the Mayor. "I see. I see. I'm sorry but I cannot give you all the Krokonomican. The streets are just too unsafe. But…" The Mayor's ears flicked in excitement. "If you all could use your magic to help clear these streets I could use your magic to help clear there streets; I could surely help you out. Favor for favor?"

Connor looked over at his group of friends, who had all remained silent until now. Tara gave a nod along with Emma. Donna, who was gazing up at the bright starry sky, quickly focused her attention back to the group and took Mariah's hand as the both of them smiled in agreement.

"Alright then. Let's do this." Connor flashed a smile.

The roof tops of Marleybone were quite tricky to navigate through. Shadows of figures dodged behind alleys and trashcans. "Who are we looking for again?" Donna asked loudly making everyone shush her.

"We're looking for Baxter I believe his name was." Connor replied a bit annoyed now because the figures that they had been avoiding started to creep in closer towards the group. Suddenly a figure reached out of an alley way and snatched Mariah away from the group, as she was the one who was trailing behind. Mariah let out a muffled scream as she disappeared into the darkness with the O'Leary napper.

A/N: So quick thoughts before I close out this chapter. Um I kind of want to pair Tara and Connor but hats only if the owner will let me lol. Until then it will just be my little shipping in my head lol. On the other hand I do have the next chapter written and ready to go! I just need to know if you all are still first lol.

Till next time!
