Dangling at the third floor of a building upside down with a thin rope tying his legs, Larmore smiled nervously at Seraph.
"How? What made you like this". Seraph asked bewildered.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you ". Larmore said.
Moment's ago, during the commotion of the dragon incident and stampede, Larmore was separated from Seraph. Looking for his partner, a group of people took advantage of the city's distress and forcefully drag anyone who was unlucky to run into them, Larmore was such fellow.
Running into a group of five trolls he and a few others were taken from the running crowd to a secluded place.
"This is a god given opportunity, with this disaster we can easily rob people". One of the trolls said.
All the other trolls laughed maniacally.
"Now all of you, give us all you have on you or else running from a dragon would be the last thing you will remember ". The one who seems to be the leader of the trolls said.
Larmore stood up and said: "look guys i know not of others but me i have no dime with me, so get on what you want to do if you can that is".
"Are you testing me wizard "?! The troll leader asked aggressively.
"You can say that ". Larmore replied.
"Seems you are tired of living, why don't i lead you to the path of the dead ". The troll leader said.
"If you had said that a day ago i would have obliged, but right now I've found reasons to live ". Larmore replied.
"Well it seems to me those reasons don't have enough convictions yet that is why you are babbling in front of danger ". The troll leader said as he held a club in his right hand high up in the air ready to splat Larmore into paste.
Behind the troll leader and other trolls, there were ropes, Larmore had seen them and an idea of tying them up came to his mind.
'i have heard of scholars cast numerous spells, let's see if i remember the ones useful at the moment ". Larmore thought.
"Hold my hands and tie me up " Larmore said.
Suddenly the ropes behind the trolls came alive and tied most of the trolls, the trolls leader legs were tied and he fell down hard with his chin, then his arms too were tied soon after, but Larmore wasn't done.
"Lift me up and blow me away".
Gust of wind blew ferociously carrying all the trolls with it.
"Haha, that was sweet hahaha". He laughed contentiously.
The other people taken hostage went to meet Larmore and thanked him.
"It no problem, saving people is my job ". He said.
The other hostagees left, and Larmore was following suit but then a rope out of no where tied his legs which made him fall. Then wind blew and carried him up. The rope that tied him caught an iron rod at the third floor of a building making him get stuck, dangling upside down.
"Did i just get struck by my own magic, how pathetic of me". He said to himself.
Presently, Seraph was standing below him and listened to his story.
"So you got caught up in your own magic"? Seraph asked.
"Hilarious isn't it hehe". Larmore said.
"More like pathetic". Seraph replied.
"Are you just going to stand there looking and making jest of me or are you going to help me". Larmore said.
"Tsk, you got power from a powerful being and this is what you make use of it, how did you face those protesters alone". Seraph asked.
"Quit asking questions and help me get down". Larmore shouted loudly at her.
"Fine, with body only nature could love, bring thee down on earth". Seraph said
The rope tying Larmore cuts and he fell down with his face.
"Ouch, couldn't you use a magic that would let me land without hurting too much ". Larmore protested.
"At least you got down". Seraph said.
They worked out of the secluded place to the street where the crowd were running for their lives. At this time, the street was almost empty.
"What are we going to do about the dragon"? Larmore asked.
What are we going to do? Nothing, you don't expect us to fight a matured dragon do you"? Seraph replied.
"Well...".
"Well we can't, look i don't have enough offensive magic spells for fights and you are not even good with magic, let's go complete our task, the authorities will deal with it". Seraph said interrupting Larmore.
"What about your brother ". Larmore asked.
"Oh please, he his smart enough to know he is no match for a matured dragon ". Seraph replied.
"Erhh, i wouldn't say that if i were you, look at that and take your words back ". Larmore said as he showed Seraph a figure of a person casting magic on the dragon with purple aura visible.
"Igor? Igor! What in the world is he doing there, he is going to get himself killed ". Seraph became restless.
"Igor you fool get away from get away from her ". Seraph shouted at the top of her voice and was running towards Igor and the dragon.
"Children, they are all the same ". Larmore said as he followed Seraph.

"High in the heavens, bright in the sky, scorch the enemy in front of me"! Igor shouted jumping from the body of the dragon.
Numerous balls of fire were sent flying to the dragon, exploding upon impact but it did nothing to the strong tough scales of the dragon.
The dragon roared angrily cathing the attention from Igor. It raised its arms to swat Igor away from it body. Igor skillful evaded the swipe and landed on the ground.
"The love of earth is bigger than your might, grip thy enemy with your motherly love". Igor casted.
The ground around the dragon upshooted holding the dragons limbs. But it wasn't enough to hold it for long, the dragon freed itself in couple of seconds.
"Tch, how about this Quill of the hedgehog is..." Igor was saying as he got interrupted by the dragon stumping right at him.
Lucky for him, he got rescued at the nick of time by an elf to a safe distance.
"Here, here kid, you don't expect to fight a dragon on your own and win right. Hmm, I go by the name Zenobios". The elf said.
"Let's fight this thing together".
