Have you ever seen a bird roll its eyes? Well, that’s exactly was The Lady was doing, despite her raven form. Normally all for violence and destruction, Raven would have left the vendor to tend to himself, but at the moment she had no intention of drawing too much attention to herself or her shop- hence the rolling of her eyes. Wherever Unknown went, destruction followed...and whenever things where destroyed, their remains tended to draw attention.
She flew over to him and landed atop his stand. Observing the man from her present position, he seemed alright- no gaping wounds or trauma to his head, she could tell because he was picking himself up with ease.
“Now we can’t have that,” Raven said as she transformed back to her witch form, looking rather irritated as she sat there on top of the vendor’s stand. Pointing her wand at the ladle, Raven muttered a few words and it detached itself from the vendor and flew at his head, knocking him out.
“Hopefully he’ll forget this when he wakes up,” she sighed just before assuming her bird form again and returning to the sign post above her door.

The Unknown One laughed as Talon effectively saved himself and the vendor at the same time. How heroic these good guys could be. It almost made Unknown want to barf. He held it in, though, and thought of ways to attack Talon again.
"You may call me The Unknown One, Master Windwaltz. I am here on behalf of myself to speak with you, not on behalf of the society."
Unknown motioned to a pile of materials being used to rebuild. The pile consisted of nails, hammers, a lot of wood, and the occasional saw. The materials raised off of the ground and begun spinning around like in a centrifuge. The wood cracked and broke into tiny splinters. The whirling collection of sharp and potentially deadly items shot at Talon with a simple motion of Unknown's hand.

Talon hadn't noticed the shopkeeper's transformation into the bird, and was therefore surprised when Raven was magically by the stand with the vendor. He was somewhat relieved, and at the same time repulsed, by her course of action with the fruit seller, knocking him out with the ladel that had saved his life.
Then Raven disappeared, and Talon didn't have time to bother searching for her whereabouts. The Unknown One responded to his question by identifying himself as a villain and a single assassin, not an assassin for the Society. Strangely enough, he said 'talk to you', not 'kill you', but moments later sent a volley of splinters and nails at him, in a likely attempt to end his life.
"Splinters and nails? Come on! Magneto Defensor!" The same magnetic shield appeared around him; the nails bounced off, and the splinters disintegrated on contact. The shield disappeared again, and Talon stepped up to The Unknown One and shouted in fury, "If you want to talk to me, talk! Stop with all this madness!"
Unknown watched uninterestedly as Talon stopped the splinters and nails from ripping him to shreds. He knew he would do that, but only wanted to make Talon even more angry than he was. It seemed to work. Talon walked towards Unknown and started shouting in his face about 'talking'. Unknown wanted to talk, sure, but first he wanted to test this so called lightning mage.
"Ummm, no," was his response to Talon.
He quickly spun around and sweeped Talon off of his feet with his own leg. While Talon was falling, Unknown held out a hand and shot what seemed to be a ball of darkness at Talon. It sent him flying towards a stack of crates...

((insert a post by Raven here...Oh, why that does indeed tickle my fancy!, I'm not going to post again until you too get back inside, or else I'd have to just talk to myself as a bird or something))

Apparently Unknown was glad for all this madness, because he certainly did not want to cease. The assassin responded with a very unprofessional response of "Ummm, no" and then kicked Talon out from under him. That was a strange feeling. The Headmaster's stomach seemed to drop out from under him as gravity swallowed him up.
But that wasn't it.
Unknown then proceeded to fire a ball of what seemed to be nothing but black that flew the Headmaster out of Gravity's mouth and into the air. Talon did not understand what the object that delivered him was, but it had force behind it and the speed at which he was flying did not seem to be stopping. He was going to hit something, he knew it...
Any moment...
Any moment...
Crash! Talon sprawled against a package of crates that let loose a flood of imported exotic fruits. All Talon could think of as he comically removed himself from the rubble with two mangos placed in his pectoral region was how terrible that Vendor's day was. "Ugh," Talon muttered as he pushed the mangos out of his shirt, "Well then, what do you want? Do you want to talk, or kill me?"
Unknown burst into hysterical laughter as Talon came up from the crates, mangos where something would be on a woman.
"Well then, what do you want? Do you want to talk, or kill me?"
Unknown, still laughing, looked Talon in the eye. His slitted pupils were half hidden by his nearly closed eyes from the laughter. Oh, how great this fight was! The man wouldn't fight back! But, why? Unknown didnt care. He was having the time of his life.
"All in due time, Headmaster. First, though, I wouldnt mind seeing what you can do!"
Unknown stopped laughing and held out on of his hands. Darkness swirled around it, and he clenched it in a fist. He started running towards Talon, his fist enveloped in pure refined chaos ready to strike. As it traveled through the air, the ground below it seemed dragged along with the fist. The power radiating off of it was plowing the ground like a tractor.
He jumped when he was 20 feet away from Talon, his down-path heading right for the Headmaster.

Talon growled as the assassin burst into hysterical laughter over his surrogate mammary glands. After he had thrown them aside, he continued to laugh, and then responded to him with a quip of 'All in due time' and then challenging him to fight back. Talon was a negotiator to the very end, a pacifist and one who only used his magic to defend himself. In incidents where he actually had to attack...sometimes he just couldn't.
But Unknown didn't give him a choice. It was either fight him or die. And then there would be no negotiation, no understanding what this man wanted from him. Perhaps, it was possible, that this man didn't even plan to kill him, but simply wanted to spar with Talon and see what he had to offer. No matter the case, this man was not Talon's friend. He would strike to destroy.
"Very well...I didn't want to do this but..." He closed his eyes and called together a rapid tornado around him, before shouting the literally magic words, "Flabra!" The rapid tornado turned into a roaring gust, zipping through the air and collided straight into the jumping Assassin while he was still in midair.
Unknown smiled, showing all of the teeth in his mouth. How wonderful! The wizard had created a tornado! Truly a powerful match for Unknown. The power he had loaded into his fist wasnt enough to kill Talon, but was plenty powerful enough to destroy the Tornado.
He threw all of his strength into his punch and the shadowy fist connected with the tornado, dead on. The funnel of energy dispersed with a loud woosh and bang. Among the gusts of wind, tendrils of darkness were thrown through the air. Anything solid they touched melted away. Of course, Unknown kept them from touching Talon.
He came down, fist first, six feet in front of Talon. The force of his impact, combined with the still pulsing darkness wrapped around his fist, created a crater 3 feet deep and 12 feet wide. The impact sent Talon flying into the air. Unknown jumped up after him, grabbed his foot, and threw him towards Raven's coffee shop.
Talon flew through the open door and landed on the bar, not breaking anything. Before he could even open his eyes, Unknown stepped into the cafe, smiling.

Raven flew behind Unknown, but before transforming back, she pecked him rather hard on the back of his head, and snapped at his ear for making such a large creator outside her shop.
Landing on the counter, near Talon’s head, Raven changed back into her lovely witchy self, a lady of great elegance. Her legs were crossed and she was smoothing down her short black dress.
“Unknown, love,” she said, putting a rather strong sarcastic emphasis on the word ‘love,’ “You and I need to have our own little chat about the rather interesting decorating method you used for ‘refinishing’ the area outside of my shop,” she said, gritting her teeth slightly, a rather irritated expression on her face.
Pointing her wand rather suddenly at the door directly behind Unknown, Raven gave him a snide look and it slammed shut, purposely hitting Unknown and knocking him forward a tad before it made the rather loud banging noise signifying that it was indeed closed. As a matter of fact, she’s slammed the door so hard, the little open sign flipped over and was now showing “CLOSED” to those outside.

Talon's eyes were closed before the wind that surrounded him, as he focused more on the corporeal forms of the eight spirits which fathered the gust. It was not his strongest strike, but it was enough, hopefully, to throw the assassin to the ground and make him stop his assault. However, as Talon's eyes were the eyes of the spirits, he could see it was not enough.
The assassin disintegrated the wind with the same black aura that he had used to throw Talon into the crates. Then he landed next to the Wind Mage and the same dark aura created a huge fission in the ground and threw Talon into the sky. Once again, his body manipulated by magic greater than his physical frame, Talon felt his stomach reach up into the heavens. Talon didn't even bother to save himself this time, as he knew that going up must not be so bad as going down.
But it looked like it didn't matter anyone. The Unknown One reached his arm into the sky, clasped Talon's foot, and threw him back into the shop with the same force that he had done to throw him out. Talon slid onto the counter like a short order meal. Before he could even put his head down to rest, the assassin followed him inside, a smile across his frightening face.
"We can talk now, Master Windwaltz."
Now he wanted to talk. A third entry came into the shop, a dark bird who pecked Unknown in the head and flew next to Talon's head. Within seconds, poof, the raven had become Raven. "Oh," Talon muttered, "So that was you." But his words were drowned out by the screaming barkeeper, who seemed to be familiar with the assassin, proving that he was indeed known as 'Unknown' and it was not just a nickname he gave to those he tried to kill/negotiate (both having the same meaning to him) with.
She slammed the door and locked it, the 'closed' sign hanging in front. Talon looked up at the woman with disbelief. "Who are you, Raven? How do you know him?"

((Oh, and I didn't lock the door...just slammed it...))
Raven was slightly amused by the fact that despite having been thrown into her shop and sliding across the counter, Talon was questioning her first.
“This rather psychotic sociopath who calls himself a Lord, let alone a man, is a rather old acquaintance of mine,” Raven said rather slyly, eyeing Unknown in a most unpleasant way.
Looking down to face Talon, who happened to have his head rather near her ass, “How I met him is a rather long, and frightfully dull tale,” she said, sort of pushing the question aside. “I however, am exactly who I say I am. The Lady Raven Aeryn Morte,” at her name, she eyed Unknown again another interesting look in her eye, as if daring him to say something, “Previous resident of Great Britain and Italia alike, and current coffee shop owner right here in Spain. Otherwise known as yours truly.”

Unknown had growled when the annoying bird pecked him in the back of the head. Raven always had a new and interesting way to annoy him. He knew why she was annoying him this time, at the least. Unknown was sure the giant crater in the street had something to do with it...
He was walking to sit down when he heard Talon address Raven first.
"Who are you, Raven?"
"What a wonderful ques-" Raven cut him off though, answering Talon's question herself. He stuck his tongue out at her when she gave him her full name. Where was her 'Husband' now? Eh? Off with someone else, he bet. Anyone who lived with Raven for too long would beg to get away and spend some time with someone that wasnt named after a bird...
He sat down near the bar and leaned back in his chair, resting his boots on the table. His leather jacket creaked. It was new, you know. Made especially for him by cantonese leather masters in the mountains of the Al-Jilwah desert.
"Headmaster, sit with me. We have.... Things to discuss. Mostly about the future of your school."
