The shadow and the Wolf (Orin and Lance)

Lance arrived at the cliff with the sun setting. He sat down and stared at the beautiful sky while he closed his eyes and let the wind blow through his hair "Friends will come and go..." Lance muttered to himself as he put his knees to his chest and wrapped his arms around them. Thoughts of Orin and that job they went on flashed through his head. He was a fool for leaving her there. He was stupid for not having let Lea go in the first place. "This is all my fault..." he muttered as he shook his head and stood up.

He stared down at the world around him, past the cliff, off into the horizon. He placed his hand out there "I will find her again one day..." he muttered to himself as he. Lance was now a B-rank mage and he hadn't seen or heard for Orin since he was a D-rank mage. It had been a few months actually.

He didn't know anything about her death or her change yet but he had left Lea at the guild so he could get some peace from all the drinking and fighting he had been doing at the guild as of late.
