[i][b]Throughout all the men and women standing there, there was one man who seemed to stand out. He had a black helmet under his arm, the same colour as the leather jacket on his body. His hair as well was pitch black, his eyes an almost indigo colour and his skin tanned.[/b][/i]
[b][i]Maybe his eye was drawn to the man because he was clearly new, not having been seen around before by anyone. Maybe it was his rugged good looks, or maybe there was something else that drew his eye to this man.[/i][/b]

The man on stage noticed him and pointed right at him. "You! Come up here, will ya?! Do you wish to have your wildest dream come true?" He gestured for the man to get on stage.
-
[b][i]Leon looked around a moment, leaning in a spear with its tip in the ground, before pointing to himself as if asking for confirmation.[/i][/b]
-
"Yes, you! Get up here, will ya?!" He chuckled and kept up a charming smile.
-
[b][i]He picked the spear out of tu ground, collapsing it to its storage length and put it on his back. He walked up to the stage. Small fragments of what looked like tattoos could be seen where the white t-shirt stopped st his neck, [/i][/b]
-
"Great! Now, what do you seek?! What is your desire?" Bedlam placed a hand on Leone's shoulder and turned to the crowd with his unfading smile.
-
"Well after 4 months on the road a drink would be nice." [b][i]He says, being the sarcastic jackass he usually is[/i][/b]
-
Bedlam laughed and nodded, not frustrated in the slightest. "Sure, man. Here." He formed a cup in his hand full of water out of nothing.
-
"I see you and I have very different definitions of what a drink is." [b][i]He says laughing a bit.[/i][/b] "so your a magician huh?"
-
"Fine." The liquid changed to moonshine. "Better? And no, I'm not a magician. I'm a mage. It's actual magic."
-
"Eh, always been more of a comedian myself. No hard feelings for the mistake, right?" [b][i]he says, extending a hand, as he takes the drink with the other.[/i][/b]
-
He shook it and nodded. "Of course not! I can take a joke. I can give them too."
-
[b][i]He felt a shock go through him, like a powerful joy buzzer as what seemed to be electric arcs crackled along Leon's hair sparsely as he laughed a bit/i][/b]. "Well, you seemed to fall for a basic one pretty well."
-
He laughed and smiled a little wider. "Yeah yeah...." A small cloud appeared over the man and began to pour rain onto him.
-
[b][i]The man raised his hand to touch the cloud as what looked like thunder and lighting appeared in it.[/i][/b] "ooh looks like someone wants to see me a little wet." [b][i]He said teasingly.[/i][/b]
-
"Maybe a lil." Bedlam winked and snickered. "It may strike you with lightning so I wouldn't touch it."
-
"It's happened before, just leaves with a thickly feeling. Actually, hey, step back a little bit and I'll show you what I mean." [b][i]He says, gesturing for people to give him some space.[/i][/b]
-
Bedlam sighed and shrugged. "Fine, go ahead. I'll be fine where I am."
-
[b][i]He stepped back, as electricity seemed to crackle on his arms and hair. Storm clouds seemed to gather overhead, thick and black, but no rain came from them. Lighting crackled within and thunder shouted down[/i][/b] [b][i]After a few secrets be of waiting, a bright bolt shot down and slammed into Leon. His body was consumed by the light of the bolt, a bright flash to those near him. When it was gone, all that laid there was the helmet and spear he had. He was gone.[/i][/b]
-
"Sweeeeeeeeet!" Bedlam clapped and chuckled, walking around where the man once stood. "I'm totally trying that sometime."
-
[b][i]He noticed something. What seemed to be a bit of ash where the man once was. In fact, a pile of it[/i][/b]
-
"Maybe I won't kill myself though. That's a bummer." He shrugged and a floating broom swept the ash away.
-
[b][i]A few moments later, another bolt was heard, slamming down on the other side of the stage.[/i][/b] "Oh yeah, tips for travelling. Always bring props for tricks." [b][i]A voice says, Leon having reappeared on the other side, an empty bag in his hand.[/i][/b]
-
"Nice." Bedlam gave a thumbs up. "Good job."
-
"And I'll only charge you a drink and your time if ou want me to teach you." [b][i]He says, performing an elaborate bow as he did, as somewhat of a joke[/i][/b]
-
"Nah, I can already do it. Thanks, but you underestimate me." He winked. "Now, would you get off my stage? I'm here to help people, not to do tricks."
