Chapter 2 by DragonStar1 DragonStar1

Who steps through the door?

Ariel the sorceress

In stepped through a pretty blond woman, around Janno's age of 21, dressed in a silvery robe. Her hair flowed down past her shoulders almost to the waist. She was of medium height, 5-6, but quite slender. Janno's first impression was this lady was a wizard though the girl looked shy upon seeing the fighter as he sharpened his sword.

"Uh, hello. My name is Ariel," the woman stated. "I saw an advertisement about a new adventuring party being formed."

Janno put his sword down. "You're in the right place. I am Janno the fighter. Welcome, Ariel. So what brings you into the adventuring field and what skills do you have to benefit of the party?"

Ariel looked around, her gaze wandering the room as if trying to see anyone. Janno felt his cheeks turn red. "Ah, there isn't anyone else as of right now. I'm looking for several members to start a new group."

Ariel nodded and seemed to loosen up a bit. "Well, I'm a sorceress. I have numerous of spells I can cast. For instance, just to show that I can carry my weight, I'll cast one right now."
The girl concentrated and then raised her hands. "Flamius spurrus," she cried out. Instantly, a jet of flames erupted from her fingertips.

It was a nice instantaneous spell, but unfortunately it was directed almost directly at Janno. The fighter yelped as he ducked under the jet of flame. Then he turned around and noticed his bed was starting to catch fire.

"Oops," Ariel said. "I'll put it out. Windala sweptervus!"
Suddenly a gust of wind came out and removed the flames from the bed...right onto the wall. With another cry, Janno grabbed a spare blanket and quickly put on the small fire.

"Sorry about that," Ariel said, looking slightly abashed. "Perhaps I should have tried another spell to begin with. Maybe something like a cold ray. I'll go ahead and..."

"No, no, no," Janno said quickly. "That's quite all right." The last thing he needed was this sorceress going spell-crazy in order to impress him.

Ariel clearly was embarrassed, but before either could say anything, there was another knock on the door.

Who else walks in?

More fun
