 Jia Mei was a water bender like her father before her. Her mother was an earth bender and she grew up in the Earth Kingdom with her parents near the swamps. She was twenty-two years old and is a traveling musician along with being a water bender. Her father taught her how use water bender to heal others with and the fighting moves that she knew. Jia Mei learned on her own that she could control plants by the water that was in them to do what she wanted with them. Her father taught her how to hunt while her mother taught her how to sing and how to play the lute. Jia Mei has been traveling on the road for several years now, exploring the Earth Kingdom. Now she working on her way back home after getting news that her father was ill. She has stopped traveling for the night and had secured a room and supper by performing in the tavern. Then Jia Mei began to play her lute and began singing the song, Ghost of a Rose. (Here's a music video of Ghost of a Rose. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8geD3gMroIc)

 Ming was an earth-bender, an a wanderer. He had been trained as an Earth-bender by his grandfather, against his father's wishes. His father had broken tradition and become a simple farmer. Using the abilities he has from bending to help his plants grow along faster with additional minerals. As such when the revelation that Ming had been practicing as a full on Earth-bender and his skills where rather highly developed he was kicked out of home by his father. Residing with his grandfather for a year before his mentor passed away and he began to wander, at the age of sixteen. Seven years have passed since his wandering had begun, he also had been called home due to an issue with his mother. Finding a small tavern to rest in for the night he took up a seat and ordered some mead. Turning towards the entertainment as he listened to a strikingly familiar voice. His blue eyes widening for a moment as he looked up on stage at a woman who liked the grown up version of one of his best friends from childhood, before he had been kicked out of home due to his earth-bending.

Jia Mei was at the end of the song when she thought she saw someone she knew in the crowd. She couldn't place him right off and there were several people moving about now since she finish the last song. Then she began her next two songs in the set before taking a small break. Then after her small break, she began with the next song, Under a Violet Moon.
Once she finish that song, Jia Mei decided to take some requests from the crowd, as long she knew the song already."I'll take requests from the crowd now and as long I know the song already, I'll sing it. So what will it be now?" She asked, hoping to get a better look at the man she thought she might have recognized from earlier.

Ming paused as he shook his head, there was simply no way the woman on stage could truly be Jia Mei. The chances of that happening where simply far to unlikely as he shifted a bit watching as the woman finished two other songs. Turning to the meal he had paid for eating it quietly as she went about her break. Pulled back from his meal as the new song ends finally. The woman starting to take requests he paused for a moment as he nodded slowly. Turning to stand slowly, "I have a request..." Drowned out by the sheer volume of others requesting songs. Taking a spot in line, waiting his turn before he finally ended up just before her. A faint smile on his lips. "None you recognize so far? How about 'Wish you where here?'"

"Sorry I don't know those songs in particular. If you would though, please bring me a copy of the sheet music and the words to me of the songs before I leave tomorrow and I'll learn them before I come back through here."Medeia said to those songs that were called out she didn't know. Then she heard someone suggest the song Wish You Were Here. Medeia glance up to see who had suggested it to find it was Ming, one of her childhood friends from years ago."I do know that song. Is it really you Ming? It's been so long since I saw you last..." Medeia said, forgetting about the others as she studied Ming over. She remembered the day that he had left six years ago from the village. She wanted to go after him and bring him back but her parents wouldn't let her that day. Then she heard someone yell sing already and that brought her out of her thoughts of the past and back to the present."Perhaps we can talk later? I need to get back to singing." Medeia said as she strummed the first few chords for the song and then began singing it. " Wish You Were Here
Wish You Were Here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...
I Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell,
And I'm feeling blue...
I've got feelings for you,
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time I laid my eyes on you,
I felt joy of living,
I saw heaven in your eyes...
In yor eyes...
Wish you were here...
Me, oh, my country man,
Wish You Were Here...
I Wish You Were Here...
Don't you know the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell...
And I'm feeling blue...
I miss your laugh, I miss your smile,
I miss everything about you...
Every second's like a minute,
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away...
The snow is getting colder, baby,
I Wish You Were Here...
A battlefield of love and fear,
And I Wish You Were Here...
I've got feelings for you,
From the first time I laid my eyes on you..."

Ming smiled as she agreed to play the song he suggested, pausing as he took her in. "So it is you Mediea.." he said faintly as a smile tugged on his lips. Glancing up and down her slowly as he took her in. Finally jerked out of the longing gaze by the yells as well he chuckled. "Later is fine with me.." Pausing he realized he hadn't gotten a room yet, "If there is room here for me to stay that is.." He chuckled faintly. He had always been a bit forgetful of the most important things, on a regular basis. Shaking his head slowly as he settled back down in a chair, just simply listening as he felt a smile spread over his lips. Remembering those long past days, he had spent with her. Part of him always wondering why she didn't follow, though truthfully his mind reasoned her parents wouldn't let her. What sane parent would, his father certainly was not one of those.

Medeia looked over at Ming while she was singing that song. She would make herself look away but her eyes would find her way back to Ming. Soon the song was done and she did four more songs before she was done for the night."Thank you ladies and gentlemen for listening to me perform for you. I hope that everyone has enjoyed it and have a good night." Medeia said before bowing to them and then got off the small stage next to the fireplace. She then began heading upstairs to her room to put her lute away before coming back to speak with Ming some more. When she got to her room, someone was already inside and waiting for her. Before the man could silence her, Medeia manage to scream out for help as the man pinned her down to the bed. "MING!!! HELPPP---" Medeia got out of her mouth before everything went dark.

Ming was transfixed by his dear old friends lovely voice and the words seeming to be sung to him. Just simply enjoying the other four songs she played before watching her make her way upstairs. The sound of her scream though drew his mind out, standing up he focused and formed a pair of earth gauntlets over his arms. Making a quick dash towards the stairs and up to her room. "...Medeia.." Eyes glancing down the hallway, hoping to spot the room still open.

 The man made quick work of tying up Medeia after gagging her with the drugged rag that had sleeping drugs on it to keep her asleep. Then he tied her arms behind her and bound her ankles together with more rope. Next, he wrapped her up in one of the sheets on the the bed and put her in a wicker laundry basket that he can carry on his back. He also put her lute in as there was room for it as well. He then put the wicker back onto his back and he had no problems with carrying it with the lady inside it. He was concern that someone had her yelling for help but it didn't seem that anyone had heard. It was his master that wanted the woman and he did what his master asked of him. His master had seen her once and at least by her looks, the man could understand why his master wanted her. If there was other reasons that his master wanted her for besides her looks, he didn't know it. Then he left the room, and headed for the back stair well, not noticing the young man in the hallway.

Ming turned, spotting the man as he exited the room, with a wicker basket? That had to be where she was, aiming a hand up one of the gauntlets of earth armor flew off at the would be kidnapper. Hoping it would hit the un-expecting man from behind, as he went about closing the distance. Cursing himself for only gathering such a small amount of earth, if this came to a real fight he would need to get outside and fast.
The blow landing just as the man was about to reach the back stairway. Ming skidded to the side of him, drawing a small knife and attempting to cut at the rope on the basket, aiming to get it off the man's back. "Where is my friend?"

The man was about to reach the stair case when something hit his knee hard. He fell down to his knees and then heard the other man speaking to him. "Let me be! I work here and I was getting the dirty sheets out as the couple that were using that room left suddenly and the inn keeper wanted it clean so someone else could the room tonight. So leave me be! Stop cutting the rope." He told the boy, tugging away from of the boy's knife. The lid to the basket was looser than what he thought and came off when he got back up off the floor.
