"Thank you Sir." And with that Altair picks up the man and carries him out. "Well, how did it go?"

"People tend to blame anything magic on us, thus we try to take care of matters like this one." "Thank you Ellaria, for keeping us safe."

Alexis continues her attack.

K-Nut is lazy. At least I think that's why.

"Well you guys were asked to deal with the problem. So if Altair promises not to let him free I guess you're fine." "No no. We won't be doing any experiments on him. Just giving him some counseling. He obviously needs help."

"And why not? He's still alive." Marc groans. "As is obvious, trust me, he needs help."

"Fair enough. I can't force it upon you. How about the lady?"

"No, not any formal one. I can however, furnish you with an increased reputation with the Ziegfried's if you'd like." He glances down at Marc. "I'll also take him back with me. Try to figure out what's wrong with him."

"No no. Not a failed apprentice. Just a mage gone mad it seems. Everyone seems to associate mages with us so we usually take care of them."

"No, I was sent to take care of this guy before he killed anyone else off. Relax man."

"Altair Ziegfried, at your service."

Yeah. GIMP has a huge learning curve, but once you get over it it works just as well as photoshop. Youtube tutorials are also helpful.
