Hannah & Jack | Syphilis Capital | Emerald City | The helicopter that carried Jack, Hannah, and the hostages finally landed inside the military base. After the Hostages were taken away to safety Jack said to Hannah Follow me.. The walked long each other down the hallways, turning left and right, and taking the elevator downwards. Until he stopped walking and entered a door to receive his payment from a high ranking officer - two suitcases full of cash. Hannah properly stayed outside the door, She did not speak at all, Jack been higher ranked then her she obeyed. Not taking to long Jack Walked out of the room and handed one case to Hannah, explaining That's your share, you made my job easier... Hannah stared at the case, Hunting was her duty her " Calling " she never got payed for it. So, she just placed the suitcase down and began to walk. She softly spoke, reviling her antagonizing British accent No Thank You.. Jack was puzzled for a moment but just grabbed the case wand walked behind the girl It's almost time for supper, want to grab a bite? I know a great place? She did not answer but she did not deny it ether, so both of the walked out of the base and into the city. Jack walked a few steps before Hannah, she just fallowed him around the streets. It was strange for her to just waltz around, sense she is mostly keep inside the Council's walls. Jack finally came into a stop. Here we are.. Hannah walked beside him and looked at the structure. It was a nice mahogany colored building, with golden handlebars and a few flights of steps. It was a restaurant. Jack invited Hannah inside, as he walked in. Her soft left sense of touch slide upwards on the handlebar towards the inside of the restaurant. It was an amazing view, the chandeliers softly lighted the inside as people enjoyed them selfs eating, Jack quickly picked out a table and sat down, soon after Hannah did the same. Jack looked at the Menu and began to order lost of different plates off food, Hannah's eyes just lingered around the location, gazed a a few people, families, waitress's and butlers. She turned her site towards everywhere, It began to feel uncomfortable for her, so many people talking, the overwhelming noise, Suddenly she stood up, pushing her self off the table. A sudden silence overtook the restaurant, as the people began to stare at her. She looked at Jacks eyes and turned away, Jack stood up and yelled Wait.. Were are you? But she had already walked out of the Restaurant. She took in deep breaths and calmed her self, then softly she rose her eyes towards the sky, which had a golden hue as the sun was began to settle the skies to the moon, the soft breeze blew making it lucid. The young Hunter just began to walk down the streets of the city towards the Council Household.  |

[Giotto Kiryu|Street-Evermore|Twilight] As he quietly walk down the street, he hears a commotion that seems to be coming from the park itself. Due to curiosity, he head over to the park and find himself looking at a scene of what seems to be a battle between two people and an elite knight like himself with an Elf by his side; he recognized them as Joseph and Wilhelmia. He watch the whole thing even when the two people tries to escape down the manhole. He didn't take action for he had yet to grasp the whole situation or the story behind it itself. He stride over to Joseph before standing before him a few feet away. "Hello Joseph. May I be inform as to what is going about here?" He asked in a calm voice while he stare at the man before him with his golden orange eyes. [Zess|Ruins of Xath-Carvahall|Twilight] The dark haired man silently observe the female before him. He stared for a long moment before he opens his lips and spoke in his low husky voice, "For what I am, I have no reason to tell you. For I know you are not entirely human yourself, miss. Furthermore, it is indeed a witch that destroyed this place, the witches aura, magic energy lingers heavily in the atmosphere around here." He didn't state that only his kind could see this energy or feel it in the air, for he prefer to keep his identity of what he is a secret for now. For he knew this world is not ready to face the reality of his kind existence.  |

ooC: I JUST realized that Inaby and I had a similar ending (sort of), but for two different reasons Vivian | Zen Clinic - Living Room | Twilight Vivian’s body remained curled to herself, her legs crossed with one another. Her right arm, placed across her chest, joining her left arm. Vivian had REM sleep. She murmured words faintly “Mommy.. don’t.. leave me..†“Mom..†Her state of awareness leisurely heightened. She titled her head to the right, her locks slowly falling away from her face. Abruptly, she rose from laying down to sitting up, gasping, breathing heavily. Vivian expressed a shocked façade: pale, dilated pupils, increased heartbeat. Hira witnessed her eyes flickered within the alternation of red and silver hues. She was gasping air, then slowly pulled the blanket over. Vivian turned her attention to Hira. He could only see the top of her face, her forehead and sanguine vision. “You scared me..â€, she spoke gently. He leaned closer to her, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. He whispered softly in her ear, “I’m sorry I startled you… That wasn’t my intention.†Vivian | Zen Clinic - Washroom | Twilight He pulled away, watched Vivian pushed the blanket away from her, as she rose and made her way to the washroom. She arched her back on the sink, her left fragile hand, supported her weight as she hanged her head down. With the right sense of touch, she twisted the faucet knobs to attain warm water. She washed her face to calm her down. Suddenly, she began hearing unfamiliar voice, a young maiden.. in the bathroom. “You can’t stop the rife!†that voice giggled. Vivian arched her brows and looked around. She saw no one behind her. She gave out a confused look, but shrugged it off and dried herself. She let her feet lead her away from the washroom to the living room, where Hira was patiently waiting for her. “Are you ready?†She asked. Vivian witnessed he had his shirt inside out. Vivian approached him and started unbuttoning his shirt. “You’re so sillyâ€, she let out a little giggle. “You had your shirt inside out. Here, take it off and I’ll show you. Hira followed her instructions, leaving Vivian in an awkward state. She just now realized his body structure, his frame, which left her turning around due to the flushes of her cheeks. He questioned her, “Are you a fox like me? Your eyes changed colours..†Vivian looked around and spotted a silver robe not too far away. She grabbed it and put it around her. She took the hazel hue cloak, turned around and approached Hira. She offered him the cloak. Vivian faintly smiled at him.. “No.. I’m a pureblood witch..†Hira lifted Vivian’s chin and grinned at her wildly, “I knew that..â€. He came closer to her, planted a sweet one on her lips and let himself lingered in it. He put on the cloak as Vivian grabbed his left hand and led him out. “Mom! Dad! Going out!â€, she shouted. “Who are you going with?†her father question. “Her boyfriend†as both of her brothers stated and chuckled at same time. “Boyfriend?†their parents added. The adoptive father pulled a protective father streak. He stepped out to look for Vivian but Vivian and her “boyfriend†had already left. Vivian | Rowland's Creel | Twilight Hira couldn’t keep to himself. He seemed to be amazed by everything in the Gallory. The Gallory was filled with buildings of high and low. There were masses of people walking into different directions. Vivian and Hira joined the mass, which aimed to venture out North. Hira let go of Vivian’s soft hands as he ran and jumped back and forth between various shops such as The Key Maker, The Medicine Boutique. He approached a stand owned by an older and wide man. Hira took an apple and started walking away, eating it. The owner yelled, “Hey!! Get back here!†Hira expressed confusion towards the owner, but he did not say anything. Vivian rushed to Hira’s side when she witnessed the vendor grabbing a whip to hit Hira. With her gentle hands, she pressed them lightly on Hira’s back, pushing him away. She looked at the older man with a sweet smile. Vivian was aware that the older man already began the strike, but she made sure Hira wasn’t in sight and there were a mass of people to block the view She reached out her pale small hands, extended a small coin bag, filled with golden coins, “I apologize on his behalf. Here are twenty coins. I will take his punishment, Please keep the ch—“ “WHACK†Vivian | Rowland's Creel - Wench'in Cafe | Twilight Vivian followed Hira as she massaged the redness on her right hand. She examined the sanguine gash, as it lined from the pinky knuckle to her thumb. She sighed in relief that the starball ring on her ring finger was still there. She hid her right hand in the sleeve to avoid Hira from noticing. She looked at him, with a sweet smile despite the sensation of the sting. Hira smiled at her wildly, grabbed her right hand by accident. Vivian wanted to squirm but she held her silence. Hira dragged her to a café shop. Vivian watched him drool over the pastries in the decoration window. “Go ahead, Hira, I’ll followâ€. A young maiden, sported a light pink dress led to them to their seat, handed them the menus and took their order. Hira seemed to be fascinated with this young woman and kept eyeing her. Hira, “Cho..choc..cholate ..Ca, Cake.. Please†“I’ll have Strawberry Shortcake, please. Thank you.†Their orders came within a few. More waitresses in similar attire passed by Hira, and he continued admiring them. After a bite of her cake, Vivian dropped the fork on the plate, resounding an echo, in frustration. She immediately stood up, pulling her chair back and started walking away, without saying a word. She put the hood of her sanguine cloak over head and twirling the starball ring.    |

[Hira - Kahedenan - Twilight] Hira had really enjoyed travelling through the town, there had been so many new sights, sounds and smells that he had been almost overwhelmed by it all. Through all that there had been one constant in the storm of new sensations, Vivian who had just left the table without saying anything, leaving Hira rather confused as to what had happened, but he could tell it was something he did. though he had no idea what it was. He stood up and devoured what was left of his chocolate cake before leaving after Vivian. He jumped the low fence and started making his way after her even though he could not see her anymore, but he could still follow her scent. It didn't take him too long to spot her on a smaller street where there was fewer people. He was catching up to her and she hadn't noticed him yet. Before he was able to catch her he noticed her stumble and fall. He picked up his pace quickly running to her. He offered to help her, but she waved him away and he just watched as she walked to nearby crate clearly favoring one if her legs. He sat down on the ground in front of her and looked at her. "Did I do something wrong?" He was looking clearly confused and after Vivian explained that it was because how he stared at the waitresses at the cafe, he started to realise what she had thought had happened. "I was intrigued by their clothes, they were unlike anything I had seen before." He looked down on the ground. "Sorry..." He then shifted closer and looked up at her as he did he noticed something on her hand. He took a gentle hold of her wrist and pulled it towards himself his eyes widening as he noticed the blood, some of it dried, but there also was some fresh blood on the wound. "How did this..." He then remembered the sound he had heard earlier in the day, but had paid no heed at the time. He hung his head. "It was because of me wasn't it?" He took a firmer grip of her hand, but making sure he didn't grip too hard and started to lick the wound clean after that he took out a napkin from his pocket and tied it over the wound. He looked at her with sad expression on his face. "I'm sorry..." He leaned against her, still holding her wounded hand in his own, after a moment he let go and moved a bit backwards. "Now, let me take a look at your foot." He proceded to carefully take off her shoe and started gently massaging her leg looking to see if anything was wrong, as he was doing it noticed Vivian's face crunching slightly in pain. He put the shoe he had taken off into a pocket of her cloak. "I think it's sprained, you should keep off of it for now." He stood up and looked around them before bending down and easily picking her up in his arms. "I guess it means I get to carry you home." He smiled at her and started walking down the street, but soon stopped and looked around again. "Umm... would you mind showing me the way? I'm sort of lost." After Vivian agreed to that and pointed him to the right direction he leaned his head in and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "You're awesome..." He then started walking towards the clinic guided by Vivian.   |

OOC: PSO2 robbed my time xP Anyways I will start school by next week, so I may not post as often as before. And it's Siphilys xD [James Riley] [Thra - Evermore City - Trafford Park] With Lucia in hand, James runs as fast as he can without bothering to take a look at the Inquisitor and his partner. Lucia: “Wait a second, let me handle this!†By the time Lucia regained her foothold on the ground, she pulled her hand away from James and held on his shoulders. James was surprised by the sudden act of hers and wanted to ask what she was trying to do. James: "Hey, what are you ----" James stopped speaking when he heard a distinctive footstep that echoed in his ears, and before he knew it, he felt a powerful force sucking him, as if a tornado was in front of him. Within a blink of the eye, the two of them exited the park, and arrived at a street just outside of it. James was amazed. James: "Man, I wished that I have tricks like this one!" Then someone called out Lucia and it was a man in a police outfit armed with a combat shotgun. A Benelli M4. The weapon he was wielding has raised James' eyebrow, as normally most police officers do not have access to such advanced weaponry. It seems he was acquainted with Lucia, and quickly mentioned his escape plan from the Inquisitor and the Witch Hunters. Merik: “You two, go into the sewer, and use it to head to Evermore Cathedral, someone will be there to help you two get out of the city.†Lucia: “W-wait!? Sew-!†James said nothing but a laugh and a quick shook of his head. Lucia was the first one to get pushed into the sewer, and he soon followed her afterwards. [Thra - Evermore City - Evermore Sewers] James had a clean land from the jump up high. The smell is intense, as usual. He noticed Lucia broke her wooden shoes, and the package is still intact. Apparently they are in a maintenance walkway, dimly lit by yellow round lights at the walls around them. After dusting his cloak, James heard Lucia's complain about the sewers. Lucia: “Ack! It just had to be a sewer, huh?!†He simply chuckled. James: "Ah, this reminds me of my younger times in the witch insurgency, where sewers are the only means for escape." Aside from dim yellow lights on the concrete walls, there are numerous sets of arrows, showing directions to different parts of the city. James and Lucia found the directions need to go to the Cathedral, and beside the direction signs lies an unconscious man, presumably who provided the police officer disguise for the man with a combat shotgun. James: "Hmm, a gun, a sabre and a badge. Well, I think I'll pass on taking his stuff. Feel free to arm yourself missy. You might wanna take his shoes though." James waited for Lucia to prepare herself. When she was done, James leads the way to the Cathedral. He decides to ask about the teleporting ability that the Reflector used earlier on. James: "Say, back when we are at the park, what did you do? I assume that's your ability as a witch? If you're a witch anyways..." So far, James has not show Lucia his flame manipulation though. He also keeping an eye for Witch Hunters, and perhaps sewer monsters. He had close encounters with them, back when he was at Siphilys and Morpheus. The wall lights barely illuminate the walkways. As much as he want to discuss about sewer monsters just for the jokes and teasing, James held it in his mind. Then, they have arrived at a ladder and above it has a manhole similar to the last one. The arrows on the pointed upwards with the word 'Cathedral' beside it. James: "This is it. After you Ms. Hallowground." After getting back up to the surface, James closed the manhole. The Evermore Cathedral, which is on their left, has a simple looking design and sets of colorful glass decors on the building. While on the horizon, the sun was setting down. He took quick sniff at his body, and got disgusted by it. James knew he has to settle this odor, or he will get himself cursed at. He removed his cloak, and revealed his other clothes, a simple dark blue jacket and a white shirt along with a pair matching trousers. With the tattered cloak in hand, it suddenly went up in flames, leaving nothing but ash on his right hand. He looked at Lucia, with a grin. James: "That solves the odor issue. I don't think I can do the same for you... though."   |

Vivian | Zen Clinic - Outside Clinix | Twilight Vivian fell asleep steps away from the clinic. Hira leisurely opened the door widely and made his way downstairs, calling out to Marcus and Niam. “M..ma..rcus.. Ni..Niamâ€, he yelled. Both brothers approached Hira by the stairs, witnessed Vivian by his back. Niam already noticed the gash on her right hand and the sprained ankle. “Hira, what happened?â€, he question. Marcus called out for their parents, â€MOM!... DAD!, Vivian is hurt!". The adopted mother headed towards them as quickly as she could. She had tiny frame, with shoulder length locks and sense of vision. Hira explained the situation to his best and let Niam carry Vivian in his arms and headed towards the living room. Their adopted mother squeezed Hira’s arm gently for reassurance, “Thank you for taking care of Vivian.. Come, we’ll bring her home.â€, her mother replied. “Dear! Do you think you can run the clinic by yourself? We’ll take care of Vivian..â€, Mrs. Zen asked. “I’ll help Dad.â€, Marcus stated as he was already putting the white trench coat. “Thank you..â€, his mom smiled at him gently and she rushed, dragging Hira along. “I’m going to cast a spell, it will transport us to our real house. Don’t panic. It will only take us about five seconds.". She stood between Hira and Niam carrying his sister. Vivian was fast asleep in his arms. Vivian | Zen Residence | Twilight “Tuermarg, tegeraâ€, she chanted. In five seconds, the four of them can now see a sanguine chamber. The furniture’s were shaded into pallid furniture. With the pallid bed frame stationed against a wall. The pillows cases and the comforter were ruby red, contrasted to the white bed sheet. On the right of the frame, there was a huge bay window, from the ceiling to the floor. The window had two doors and could be easily opened by pushing them with a bronze knob. On the left side, there was pallid mahogany dresser facing the closet. There was a stool with sanguine cloth underneath. The closet took the whole wall to wall as it was a walk-in. A hallway down her bedroom led to the washroom. Niam put Vivian down on the bed. Her mother tended to the gash and her ankle, as she sat beside her. Niam sat beside Hira by the bay window, closely examining the situation. |

[Lucia Hallowground | Evermore city – Evermore Sewers - Thra Region] Mr Riley wasn’t nearly as repulsed by the sewer as Lucia was. He referenced his previous time in the witch insurgency – using the sewers as escape routes, which immediately caught Lucia’s attention. Though she didn’t attempt to pry further as not to sound rude. The two of them then noticed the unconscious police officer. James: "Hmm, a gun, a sabre and a badge. Well, I think I'll pass on taking his stuff. Feel free to arm yourself missy. You might wanna take his shoes though." Lucia went ahead and took the unconscious police officer’s shoes, which managed to fit relatively well, and left her broken wooden shoes beside him. Feeling sorry for the police officer, she went ahead and let him keep whatever was left of his things. As the two made their way through the sewers to their destination, Riley asked about Lucia’s teleportation. James: "Say, back when we are at the park, what did you do? I assume that's your ability as a witch? If you're a witch anyways..." For a moment, Lucia wondered whether he was referencing the teleportation ability she used with the dagger or her flash step ability she used to get them quickly out of the park. Lucia: “It isn’t really my own power really, it’s probably a bit more of an item enchantment really.†For the rest of the way, she couldn’t help but think of how terribly her cover had just gotten blown. A high ranking witch hunter, and no doubt a few witnesses from the survivors. Lucia had screwed up big time. (This might turn out really ugly. I’m going to have to get as far away from here as possibly. If that elite witch hunter goes back to the council with this then they might formally try to hunt me down. This entire incident is going to haunt me for a long time...) Lucia’s train of self-loathing was interrupted when Riley and her reached the cathedral exit. He offered Lucia to go up first but Lucia insisted for him to go first instead. Lucia: “That’s very polite of you. However, I do happen to be wearing a form of dress though…†Pendant: “What’s the problem, you’re wearing shorts?“ Lucia gripped her pendant again to silence it. She wasn’t sure if Riley heard it’s outburst, but regardless, the two went up the ladder, and into an alley by the cathedral. [Lucia Hallowground | Evermore city – Evermore Cathedral Backalley - Thra Region] After the two emerged from the sewer, the Mr Riley noticed the stench on his cloak and proceeded to take it off revealing his normal clothes under it. To Lucia’s surprise, he turned it to ashes from flames that he seemed to create himself. Lucia: “Wow, a Fire user huh?†He turned to Lucia with a grin. Lucia smiled a little too, thinking of the whole display as a gesture to show off. James: "That solves the odor issue. I don't think I can do the same for you... though." Lucia: “I’ll be fine. I deal with someone who has breath that smells worse than a sewer on a regular basis. Still, I almost dismissed you being a magic user since your magic signature was so low.. but-†Lucia 's mind went back to thinking about the whole set-up. Seeking out two people who used magic to be ambushed by a party of witch hunters. The whole scheme was so well set up that Lucia couldn’t help but think that someone was really after them. The potential for vulnerability ate at Lucia’s mental security. Lucia: “From now on we’ll probably have to be pretty careful, if the Inquisitor brings us up with the council after that incident…†???: “There will be lots of trouble right?†From the shadows, a dainty figure revealed herself. Wearing a frilled nightgown and not wearing any shoes she floated closer to the two to make herself known. Lucia recognized the short girl with purple hair instantly. Lucia: “Kuu? You’re the one Merik said would help up out?†The girl grinned to herself. She spoke with a curious sort of confidence that betrayed what people would think of her just by looking at her height. Kuuyari: “Yes. The old one told me about how your weakness made it required for me to assist you, as such I made it my duty to come to the aid of a fellow witch. We have already agreed upon a payment…†Kuu then took a couple of steps towards Lucia, and then shamelessly wrapped her arms around her, treating Lucia as a pillow. Strangely, she either didn’t notice or didn’t care about the smell of sewer that was lingering on Lucia’s clothes. Kuuyari: “Ahh… the fabric is of a quality different from her normal breastplate. Such a new variety..†Kuu quickly let Lucia go to return to her normal posture. Lucia: “What was that!?†Kuuyari: “The down payment.†Lucia: “Huh?†Kuuyari: “The other part of the payment is the box that they used to trap. The old one had has already agreed to give it.†As usual, Lucia was starting to get lost in Kuu’s flood of poorly spoken information. Despite this, Lucia shook her head, and retorted. Lucia: “I’m supposed give this box to the man over there. We traveled halfway across the continent to deliver this!†Kuuyari: “You did. So that you’d be captured while delivering stolen stuff.†Lucia: “This box? It was stolen?†Kuuyari: “Yes, to simplify it for your inferior brain, that box contains something that was stolen from a insurgent witch cell. Had things gone the Hunter’s way, they’d have taken you and completed their theft of the object. This cathedral before us is a major base for witch hunters, and it also contains a vault for storing magical artifacts. You lead yourself into such a clueless trap without knowing it. If you got caught they would’ve had a witch and our artifact in one swing.†Grinning to herself, she then turned to Riley. Kuuyari: “But things have turned out opposite, we have the object now Isn’t that right, James Riley?†Lucia was surprised that Kuu already knew Riley’s name when she herself only had just met him only an hour or so ago. Lucia: “Do you two, know each other?†Kuu didn’t seem to pay much heed to Lucia’s question.†Kuuyari: “I don’t have much time to explain, I simply need to get this one out of the city. But as for the Riley, he can come of his own will. However, he might come across some old friends who really want to see him again. Some of his former fellow witch insurgents.†At that moment, a tucked away by invisibility magic carriage appeared nearby, driven by hooded men that the trained eye would recognize as witch insurgents. They motioned for the three of them to move quickly as a witch hunter in the cab dumped out a couple bodies witch hunter esquires who presumably were stationed to guard the cathedral. Kuu then looked at Riley with a relaxed expression. Kuuyari: “I personally don’t believe much in the rumors surrounding your abandonment of the cause, and I have a personal distaste for sending fellow warlocks into harm’s way. You can find your own way out of the city if you wish and hope to avoid the witch patrols that move about now, or you are free to go along with her in our escape and face likely judgment. It’s your call on what you want to do.†Lucia remained silent. She wanted to speak out for James’ sake, but the entire situation seemed to be something she didn’t quite understand herself. Added with the fact that their contact had just been the tumultuous past hour, trying to speak on his behalf in her misinformed state seemed crushingly futile. She turned her gaze away from Riley with guilt. She could've looked like she was becoming weary of him again.   |

[Hira - Zen Residence - Twilight] Hira had stayed silent as Vivian was treated by her mother. He was starting to get rather fidgety on his seat and he soon stood up silently and spoke to Niam. "I need to go out for a while... I need to do some thinking..." He opened the door and jumped down from the balcony and headed to the forest. Once in he looked for a tree that had a fitting branch and climbed up to it taking a meditative position on it and started focusing inwards as he thought about what had occurred today he also let out a short cry into the sky. After some time he heard sound of wings passing by and called again. A white hawk dived down from the sky depositing a small scroll and a brush into Hira's hand. Hira wrote a message on the scroll and rolled it up placing it into the small tube at the hawk's back. Before letting the hawk climb on his hand and helping it back to the skies. He smiled as the hawk's cry rose to the sky, carrying a message to his parents. He climbed back into the tree and continued his meditation. |

[ Lynea Distillia | Ruins of Xath - Carvahall ] Zion : "For what I am, I have no reason to tell you. For I know you are not entirely human yourself, miss. Furthermore, it is indeed a witch that destroyed this place, the witches aura, magic energy lingers heavily in the atmosphere around here." Hamuul was taken aback when the man mentioned that Lynea is not entirely human, but he still wonders if he is a hunter or not. Hamuul : "But we still don't know if he is a witch or a hunter" Lynea -to Hamuul- : "At least we know he's not human... but I am entirely human... did he refers to you?" Hamuul : "Thats a possibility." Lynea then looked back at the man. Lynea : "You know... I was kinda offended with you saying I'm not entirely human, but whatever... It's not like you know what I really am anyway... Oh and by the way, the name is--" Hamuul : "WAIT! Just don't give him your real name, that might be disastrous." Lynea -to Hamuul- : "Like I would." Lynea : "Just refer me as Jane Doe... I leave you to continue your investigations or something." With that, Lynea walked away from the man, eventually leaving Xath. Hamuul : "So, what do we do now?" Lynea : "Of course we had to find another lead... But where..." Hamuul : "How about Evermore?" Lynea : "That city in Thra? Theres a vault for magical artifacts that could be the key to finding out who did it... but, we definitely need a plan... We could try visiting a nearby village here though... Probably we'll find some survivors or maybe another lead." Lynea then walked east towards a village that was not too far from Xath. Located around 10 kilometers from Xath.  |

Hannah | Syphilis Capital | Emerald City | Twilights Inside the city the young Hannah walked slowly down the alleyways towards her Homestead. But before she could reach her destination stepped out of the lingering shadow, a distinguished an elder gentleman with an elevated posture, within the long dark raven robe. He was a gentleman with a vast vigor. Dark blue tresses corresponding his prominent golden pupil. He opened his arms and drew Hannah near with a convivial embrace. Were Have you been?.. Twilight approaches and you're not home? Hannah maintained silenced, He softly caressed her hair and soft face. Placing his sense of touch under her chin, and lowering it towards him, he smiled and spoke You Have another Mission.. He softly lowered his head to meet her sense of hearing and whispered the details. Its its known of a girl.. daughter of a man.. leader of the witches, You must hunt her.. and do what you're designed to do.. Kill her.. She lowered her head as her eyes gaze to her left segment. The stranger noticed this movement and placed his hand under her left, and told her This was given for you to complete you're duty to stay alive.. Remember.. One life for another.. The last words echoed into the wind as he disappeared. Leaving the young Hannah wearing a black silk hooded robe. The cold wind blew softly caressing her, Her fine small hands put up the hood, gracefully stepping into the lingering shadows. Withing the city a Household was constructed and inside its walls was her target. Her body moved like the shadows, so she was unable to be detected, as she cat-walked above the roof of the household, she sense some one exiting the structure by jumping down from the balcony and headed to the forest. She left her self fall back and grabbed on to the ledge of the roof before falling, handling her weigh, she observed as the unknown person left deep into the forest. She gracefully lets go of the ledge and landed above the railing of the balcony. Hitting the young man outside it. He tumbled into the room were two females looked suddenly and surprised towards Hannah, one was the target. It seemed the were concerned and distracted to notice the presence of a Hunter, as a skilled Hunter she summoned her weapon very swiftly, the wind blew gently as her robe waved to the winds direction, but her appearance was kept under her hooded robe. The only thing visible was the light hazel hue around her pupil and the bright blue hue of her Iris, and the bright violet summoning circle that appeared before her, Her Body stood firmly arched, postured her self to lunch the arrow aiming at the girl. Simple few seconds passed as she draw a bow and let out a breath, as her arrow loosed true and it takes flight, leaving a bright violet trace of dark feathers behind. |

Rand [] Syhphilis capital [] Emerald City Rand stepped out of the inn with his hood up, covering his elven ears. Not moments ago the inn keeper came to his room and after a few coins passed his way gave news of an elf heading towards the city hall. Rand immediately grabbed his weapons and clothed his long dark elven cloak over them. He started down the street passing by every person glancing. Normal people would not of noticed but rand saw every belt knife and hidden blade the hunters tried to conceal. Whether they were searching for him or not he did not know but nether the less Rand stayed true to his purpose and kept apt pace. As rand walked underneath a rooftop his ears picked up slight movement almost impossible to distinguish from small stones clattering on a roof but his nose felt the smell change for a slight second. " Little girl is up to her tricks again..." He laughed lightly to himself. Moving from crowded streets unto a remote garden square rand made his way towards the city hall. Moments later he arrived at his destination. He made his way behind a tree and watched carefully as people came by. As seconds earged to minutes rand began to tap his waist. Hanging on it was a pre written note and a Talisman. The talisman was a Black disc of dyed brighstone and forged onto it was a White and Silver Crested Herron with two swords besides its wings, It was a crest of nobility. A crest only given to someone who has been considered to take the elven high throne. Rand touched it carefully. It had been given to him by his father. when his elder brother died Rand became the heir to his family and being eligible to marry the Elven princess a potential heir to the throne, a Prince in terms. Rand never held it to purpose though. to him it was a silly gesture one that meant nought to banished elf. Taken from his thoughts as he walked through a side alley he noticed a weird and strange magical aura being led to the hall. Rand sniffed the air and followed its scent. Street after street he paced quickly until he came upon an elf being led towards the hall. Rand slowed down and picked the note and purse from his hip. He stalked the elf (Tirr Runendiel) and as he got close brushed passed him softly barging him. "Sorry, sorry....mind was absent " Rand said apologetically As rand turned away he smiled. He had dropped the note and purse containing the noble seal. Rand continued on and back towards his inn. The letter ( For Tirr Runendiel ) Val'a Kin Vol Rand El'thir ( For the elven Kin to Rand el'thir ) I have sought you out. I am Rand El'thir von House El'thir. I require and elven blacksmith. I have heard you are such. Though the matter i have to ask requires secrecy and promise. I shall be able to pay or agree to any but few offers. If this letter does not persuade i attach the royal seal of the Elven king. I stay at an inn within this toww named the Prancing Iron. The room is warded by elven magic. Come alone and by nightfall. If i do not hear from you, i shall retrieve this letter and talisman the same way i planted it, you shall not hear from me again if so. Rand El'thir   |

[James Riley] [Thra - Evermore City - Cathedral Backalley] Lucia replied back to James. Lucia: “I’ll be fine. I deal with someone who has breath that smells worse than a sewer on a regular basis. Still, I almost dismissed you being a magic user since your magic signature was so low.. but-†She suddenly stopped speaking, and she contemplated for a while, before continuing again. Lucia: “From now on we’ll probably have to be pretty careful, if the Inquisitor brings us up with the council after that incident…†James' expression turned serious. At the same time, someone interrupted the conversation. ???: “There will be lots of trouble right?†A short, young girl wearing a pink frilly dress emerged from the shadows, and approached the two of them. James is still keeping himself quiet, while Lucia seems to know about this girl. They started to talk with each other. Lucia: “Kuu? You’re the one Merik said would help up out?†Kuu, as Lucia implied, lets out a grin, before speaking with such confidence as if she is a princess or a queen of some country. James narrowed his eyes at the short girl and crossed his arms. He knew that she is not an ordinary teenager. Kuuyari: “Yes. The old one told me about how your weakness made it required for me to assist you, as such I made it my duty to come to the aid of a fellow witch. We have already agreed upon a payment…†She motioned herself towards Lucia, before hugging her. James was surprised upon Kuu's act on the Reflector. Then, he ignored the weird scene between the girl and Lucia, until Kuu mentioned something about a down payment. Kuuyari: “The down payment.†Lucia: “Huh?†Kuuyari: “The other part of the payment is the box that they used to trap. The old one had has already agreed to give it.†While Lucia was trying to grasp what the dainty girl has said, James instantly understood what she meant. He wanted to speak, but Lucia has taken his chance. Lucia: “I’m supposed give this box to the man over there. We traveled halfway across the continent to deliver this!†James gave a nod as soon as Lucia finished her statement. Then, Kuu gave a shocking revelation. Kuuyari: “You did. So that you’d be captured while delivering stolen stuff.†Lucia: “This box? It was stolen?†James: "What? Are you sure about this?" Then the dwarf girl explained that the wooden box contained something which is stolen from a witch insurgency cell. If the Witch Hunters succeeded in their plan, they could have captured Lucia, and James himself. Kuu also explained that Evermore Cathedral is a base for witch hunters, and a vault for storing magical artifacts. So yes, if not for Kuu, the two would have once again fell for another trap. After the explanation, the girl shifted her princess gaze to James. Kuuyari: “But things have turned out opposite, we have the object now Isn’t that right, James Riley?†James: "Yes..." Lucia was surprised that Kuu knew James' name. So is James wondering how did she knew his name too. But he did not inquire about it. Kuu somewhat ignored Lucia's question, and spoke. Kuuyari: “I don’t have much time to explain, I simply need to get this one out of the city. But as for the Riley, he can come of his own will. However, he might come across some old friends who really want to see him again. Some of his former fellow witch insurgents.†James finally realized how did the dwarf girl knew him. He gently laughed, and his hands were in his pockets. At that moment, a carriage appeared in front of Lucia and James. It was driven by hooded men, whose outfits were the same as James' dark-brownish cloak. They signaled the trio to hurry up and board the carriage, while they are dumping some Witch Hunter bodies. Then, Kuu looked at James, with a relaxed expression. Kuuyari: “I personally don’t believe much in the rumors surrounding your abandonment of the cause, and I have a personal distaste for sending fellow warlocks into harm’s way. You can find your own way out of the city if you wish and hope to avoid the witch patrols that move about now, or you are free to go along with her in our escape and face likely judgment. It’s your call on what you want to do.†Lucia wanted to speak up for him, but yes, she has no idea what Kuu was saying. She turned her gaze away from James. He gave a gentle pat to one of Lucia's shoulder, before turning back to Kuu, with a light smile. James: "Dwarf, did you just joined the Insurgency? If so, then you misunderstood some facts about me. Firstly, I didn't simply 'abandon' the Cause. Let's just say, I had enough of killing people. I'm sick of hearing people screaming to their deaths when I turned them to ashes." James took a deep breath, and continued again. James: "I joined the Insurgency when it was just a small guerrilla force. They bailed me out of a prison, and yes, I pledged to help after that, to repay their deeds. Not to mention the Hunters took my family too. At that time, we're nothing more than a band of Robin Hoods, doing hit and runs while giving some golds to the poor. We disrupted their activities so badly that they have to ask help." He paused. James: "But then, things were getting worse. The Insurgency were becoming more and more radical. More assassinations were performed, and the Witch Hunters reorganized themselves. The more I kill, the more I realized that this is pointless. Is it the only way for us warlocks and witches to live is to completely wipe out the normal humans?" James closed his eyes, and sighed, before continuing. James: "After taking care some missions, I decided to call it quits. I faced my leader, which is also my best friend, and told him about it. At first, he disagreed with me. But after a tour around Siphilys and the Emerald City, he finally agreed, and he arranged a resignation 'letter' from the Cause." He chuckled at Kuu. James: "Looking back, maybe I did abandon the Insurgency. But really, I had enough war. Anyways, I'll be following you two, to see what kind of... 'judgement' they have in store for me. Or a fuzzy reunion." Before he follows them, James remembered something and asked the dwarf girl. James: "Wait, are you the one that I was supposed to meet when I received the package?" |

Vivian | Zen Household | Twilight | The adoptive mother has finished tending to her daughter. She began packing up the medical supplies in the bag. She turned to look at Niam, “Let’s give her a time to rest, shall we?†Mrs. Zen has left the chamber. Niam nodded in agreement and he laid beside his sister, running this fingers through her silver hair, “Oh sis, you are still as clumsy as everâ€. He leaned down and kissed her forehead “I’ll be back, I’ll just take a showerâ€. He got off the bed and walked towards Vivian’s washroom. Vivian laid stiffly, like a porcelain doll. An arrow decorated with mauve feathers aimed for her. As soon as it reached to Vivian, a hand halted its speed and movement as she held the arrow by its arrow shaft, breaking it in half. Vivian was seen to be sitting up as her back leaning against the pallid wooden headboard. The China set she held a floral design in azure print. On the left hand, she gently held a small plate. On her right hand, she held a small teacup. She took a sip of a Black Earl Grey and her sanguine-then, now piercing gray eyes shot towards Hannah. “Is that how you treat an injured lady?†Vivian asked. “Never mind, please take a seat and let me serve you tea. You are a honourable guests. Do you want Earl Grey? Orange Pekoe? Rombroise? I do have a huge selection. May I say, they are tea-licious!â€, Vivian suggested. Hannah was quite stunned at the target’s reactions and quickly felt disgust at this act, “Silence, witch! Your existence is a disgrace in this world!†Vivian choked as she enjoyed the sensation of the Earl Grey. Her red locks bounced with wavy curls was pushed aside, “A disgrace? I shouldn’t say such thing if I were you. As far as I know, you reek the blood of witches as well.†Vivian added. “I’m not a witch!â€, Hannah argued. However, Vivian returned to the enjoy the tea she was drinking. Her pale lips gently pressed against the cold China cup. “Who are you trying to convince? Me or you? Wasn’t your mother a witch?â€, Vivian questioned. “How do you know that about me?â€, Hannah’s voice arose with anger and tempted to position her arrow in front of her. Vivian chuckled, “My.. my.. quick to temper, aren’t we?" Hannah pulled the string of the bow, gently holding the arrow decorated with purple feathers back, “Give yourself up witch! I may have sympathy for you†“I’m just simply having fun!†as Vivian sipped her tea. Hannah just had about enough of Vivian’s nonsense. She struck the bow and it flew towards Vivian. As the arrow headed for her, she sighed knowing that she has the most disadvantages. Vivian attempted to move her injured ankle but no luck, she was immobile. She chanted a spell that would last for 2 minutes. This spell allowed for Vivian to move as swiftly as she could. It could be seen as reviving spell. However, as the time struck closer and closer to two minutes, the pain leisurely came back. She held the cup and plate tightly and used her energy to throw them towards Hannah as a distraction. The speed was of the tremendous, as the plate passed through, cutting a part of Hannah’s strand of hair. Along the tea cup and plate, Vivian also threw knives and forks at Hannah. As the tea cup twirled towards Hannah, her fragile face was drenched with a warm Earl Grey and the tea cup hit the left side of her forehead. Vivian | Zen Residence - Backyard | Twilight Hannah screamed in anger and impatiently shot two more arrows towards Vivian. Throughout this transition, Vivian threw the comforter aside with her left sense of touch as her mauve sword, called Accumulated Sin formed in her right hand. She swung the sword, breaking the arrows. Vivian swiftly attacked Hannah up front, closing a close combat. Vivian jumped up high in the sky, drew her sword from the top, but Hannah was able to block the hit with her bow. Vivian retreated in an acrobatic flip, supported her weight on the brick wall. Her foot tapped on the brick wall as Hannah threw more arrows, but Vivian was able to charge on and dodge all the arrows. Vivian disappeared during the flight and reappeared beside Hannah, getting her caught off guard as she swung the sword on her side, slashing Hannah. Two minutes is almost at its limits. Vivian began to feel the pain in her ankles once again. She performed some acrobatic flips in the air as she slid back on the grass, leaving a trail of jaded flattened grass. She supported her weight with her left hand on the grass, her right arm stretched to her side, holding her Accumulated Sin, her left foot arched and her right foot also stretched out, to give herself a breather. She looked up at Hannah as her piercing gray eyes examined Hannah above her. Her sanguine wavy locks danced along the wind as the gale aimed to the East. Oblivious to Hannah, Vivian was already panting and hurt, but her eyes never left Hannah's as she thought of potential five steps ahead. |

[Hira - Forest Near Zen Residence - Twilight - Human Form] It hadn't been too long since Hira had sent the message when he thought he heard something coming from the direction he had come from, but he wasn't quite sure. After a short moment he became sure he heard something and jumped down from the branch and started heading back towards the house. [Hira - Zen Residence - Backyard] When he arrived he took in the situation at a glance. He noticed someone with a bow who was aiming at Vivian, but what really caught his attention was the way Vivian was breathing. He let out his breath and his form started shrinking, once tranformed he started running towards the tree closest to Vivian and he used it's branches as a launchpad to jump high into the air. As he ascended a crackle of lightning surrounded his form and as he started descending the lightning was drawn into his body and as he was about to hit the ground he released the charge from his mouth cushioning his landing. He turned towards the other girl. "I guess it's my turn now." The white-blue bands surrounding his tail glowed for a brief moment before they flew off. As the bands came off Hira unfurled his tails creating a fan of tails behind him shielding Vivian from the other girls' sight. His nine tails flowed all on their own accord. He lowered his posture readying himself for battle, as he did so lightning started crawling up his legs and coalescing into his tails until each of them was covered in lightning. There was a look that was regocnisable as a grin, despite him being a fox, on his face. |

OOC: With the permission from Zero, I'll add here Anima's defense move. Soul Shroud: -Cloaks an object/person with elemental energy from the user. The cloak renders the object/person to become invincible from physical attacks by giving the object the ability of "Phasing". The cloak wears off as the energy recedes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Tirr Runendiel and Anima Grohm | Emerald City, Siphilys] Tirr and the others walked the path towards the city hall until someone accidentally bumped into Tirr. (Rand)Man: "Sorry, sorry....mind was absent." Tirr: "Oh. No. It's all right." Anima: "He should watch where he's going." In a few minutes, they arrived in the city hall. Snake introduces the city hall upon arriving, "Well, here we are , guys. Give us a moment, and we'll deal with your things here somehow..." With gratitude, Tirr says, "Thank you." Snake and Zaka proceeded inside. As Tirr and Anima waited outside, Tirr felt that there's something weight in one of his pockets. He felt the object in his pocket and it was some sort of letter and a purse. Anima: "What's that?" Tirr: "I don't know. You know how this thing went here?" Anima: "Hmm...the only point that I can think off is when you bumped into that man a few minutes ago." Tirr: "Hm, I wonder who's it from..." Tirr read the addressee in the back of the letter and it reads... Anima: "It's addressed towards you. He's not from the place you're banished from right?" Tirr: "He might hail from a different elven country." Anima: "So what do you want to do? Open it or not?" Tirr: "Might as well. I need to know what he wants from me." Anima: "Just to remind you that if it's something that endangers me or my body, don't accept it." Tirr opened the letter and started reading the contents. Rand El'thir Snake and Zaka came back which surprised Tirr into quickly pocketing the letter. Snake: "OK, bud. We make most of the things easier for ya already. Just tell 'em that you were recommended by us and you're on your way soon enough. Good luck with your business!" Zaka: "Well, that's what he said....Well, either way, we're done here. Good luck to ya, buddy." Tirr: "Ahh...thank you for going through the process then. You two are so kind. I'm very grateful." With that, the two left. Tirr then entered the city hall and introduced him as such to the clerk. Tirr: "Uhm...I'm the one Snake and Zaka recommended." Clerk: "Oh so you're the legendary Tirr. I heard you're not cursed anymore? Here's a license for you." Tirr became surprised and Anima said, "So those brats turned out to be very beneficial to us. We successfully infiltrated Emerald City and now you can create and sell cursed weapons. This is a good chance." Tirr (to Anima): "I don't want to do such a thing. You forgot that I'm here to take the burden of you causing trouble." Anima: "That's what you think. Anyway, let's get out of here." Tirr accepted the license and exited the hall. Anima: "Let's head back to the inn. By the way, where's the inn that the letter told us?" Tirr: "Prancing Iron." Anima: "Is the inn we checked in the same place?" Tirr: "I don't think so. I think it was Le Dream Inn." Anima: "Isn't that an anagram of Emerald?" Tirr burst out laughing and joked, "the innkeeper may have ran out of names to think off." Luckily, the Prancing Iron is on the other side of the park. It was almost nightfall and Tirr walked back and headed to the Prancing Iron for some business with a mysterious character.

Hannah | Syphilis Capital | Twilights | Zen Residence | Backyard After a numerous attempts Hannah could not manage to kill her target. How ever the girl became weak after a few attacks towards Hannah. The fight continued towards the inside of the forest within the residential structure. Hannah ruffly landed on one knee, She glared at her bleeding left arm witch was slashed from the previous hit from her target, But instead of retreating her self from danger, her sense of touch took grab of her Bow, uprising from the ground, her eyes keep constant look out for the girl. Then suddenly a fox ascended with a crackle of lightning, He turned towards the Hannah. His nine tails flowed all on their own accord, it seemed he was protecting the girl, as he posture himself for battle. Hannah released the elixir of her soft lips with a soft Britannic accent Suit you're self.. Slowly the hazel hue of her eyes began to expand covering most of her ocean blue iris. No More Games... Suddenly a loud pounding sound was heard as it echoed miles around, the grass and the wind became stronger, a big summoning seal began to create, starting were Hannah stood and opening around her. It began to connect, until it finally created the Seal. This summoning circle is only known and used by Hannah's bloodline, Her feet began to elevate slightly from the ground, this was a risk taker, because this attack was not fully learned by her. But some how she grew to detest the presence of her target and blinded her. This was not typical behavior for her. As Hannah looked eyes with her target she drew back the sting of her bow, but this time there was no arrow pulled out. The arrow began to for from her dark energy, it began taking form decorated with mauve feathers. As she positioned her self, she let out a breath. The image of a man blended with the small petite body of the girl, the image of the man cloned her moves and both her soft voice and his more vigorous voice echoed. Deidre Ragnarök.. As one drop of blood from her injured arm dropped into the center of the circle, her fragile fingers loosed the arrow. The sound of the arrow was like a firework drifting to the air, the attack lightened the area in a bright violet, sending waves of magic yards away from the location. |

Rand [] Syphilis capital [] Outside the prancing iron Rand stood outside the prancing iron with his back leant against the wall. The moonlight not yet at its peak still pierced the clouds and left him with some light to enhance his vision. he stifled a yawn under his hood while he watched the clouds drift apart. Scratching his stubbled chin Rand looked over the park area and stood up straight. Under the moonlight he saw a man approaching. Still on the other side of the park rand walked towards him. Rand [] [] Syphilis capital [] Secluded park Area Rand stopped in front of the man as the passed underneath some tree's the blocked any sight from birdseye view. also the brush and location meant nobody would be able to get close enough to eavesdrop without rand's elven ward noticing and alerting him. Rand stopped a few feet in front of the man . It was a somewhat nostalgic feeling for rand, he had not seen another elf in many years. Memories of his family and hunting kin spread his mind wide open but buisness was to attend to. Rand unsheathed his sword and placed it on a cloth in between his hands. he wrapped it until only the hilt showed. " I am Rand El'thir, Prince regent of the El'thir family. I shall not take your time as the hour is late. I have sent a message that i am to return to our King's homeland during teh night moon festival. I can only assume my father is passing and i am to be raised once my banishment has been revoked. Unfortunately i cannot have it so simple. The broken amulet i put in your pocket is from the king himself. I need you to work that small piece into the hilt of my blade. In other words i need a Herron mark blade. Now as to why....a blacksmith should always know why he trades. I shall use that to Oath myself to the sword, as you know an elf that is oathed to a sword cannot become a noble until his oath is finished, as to the secrecy i have sensed i am being hunted. I am not finished in the human world yet, i have no desire to return home. I will give you any price or pay you back in any way i can, i know it is illegal for anyone but the kings blacksmith to brand the kings emblem onto a sword, but i need it done. " rand asked. Rand held the sword out. "Will you do it ?" rand asked. |

[Tirr Runendiel and Anima Grohm | Emerald City, Siphilys | Secluded Park Area] As Tirr approached the Prancing Iron, he's stopped by a man behind the shrubbery in the park and came in front of Tirr. The man unsheathed his sword and wrapped a cloth around the blade then placed it on his hands. Rand: "I am Rand El'thir, Prince regent of the El'thir family. I shall not take your time as the hour is late. I have sent a message that I am to return to our King's homeland during the night moon festival. I can only assume my father is passing and I am to be raised once my banishment has been revoked. Unfortunately, I cannot have it so simple.

I will give you any price or pay you back in any way I can, I know it is illegal for anyone but the kings blacksmith to brand the kings emblem onto a sword, but I need it done." Rand held the sword out. "Will you do it?" Taking the Rand's situation into consideration, Tirr took out the purse from his pocket and opened it. It was the broken amulet as he said. Tirr: "As a fellow banished elf, I understand your situation. Except I must warn you that my craft may randomly curse you with little to no chance of being "blessed". In addition, I need to have your consent on what I have to do due to the process of the amulet bonding to your sword. I have to repair both the amulet and your sword to their purest form first which, in turn, will disintegrate to dust. Then I can bond them together from it. Would you trust me on that?" Anima (to Tirr): "He's of royalty so try being reasonable on your wants." Tirr: "Also, I don't think you need to pay me more than the price of repairing and creating the Herron mark blade. You're already risking your life to be cursed forever. I think that's a more reasonable way to do this. So now the question would be: Would you risk your life on getting a cursed Herron mark blade?" Anima (to Tirr): "What? Why aren't you taking his offer?" Tirr waits for Rand's reply. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OOC: Hey Avian, let me know if you want it cursed or not since I'm going to include that while my character "makes" your weapon. If you choose "cursed", you handle the aftermath and refer to the "Corruption" side effect on the character profile. You make your own type of corruption though, I don't want your character to be too weakened by it. If you say no, I won't do it. 50/50 chance lol

[Lucia Hallowground | Evermore city – Evermore Cathedral Backalley - Thra Region] Riley went into detail about his leaving the witch insurgency, about the reasons as to why he left and how he was able to do so, and also stated that he would go with them regardless of what had happened. Lucia could agree with how how he was done with killing people. After his was finished, Kuu briskly respond back. Kuuyari: "Well, that's certainly not the part of the story I had heard of. I suppose what occurred afterwards isn't something you're quite as knowledgeable about." Kuu chose not to continue on that particular subject for the sake of time. Quickly, the insurgent in the carriage motioned them to hurry up, just after this, James asked Kuu another question. James: "Wait, are you the one that I was supposed to meet when I received the package?" Kuuyari: "We must move now. The cathedral guards are supposed change in a couple minutes." With that, the three where shuffled into the carriage. However, as they left, one of the dying guards they had dumped out on the street was not quite dead. With the last of his strength, he latched a flashing tracking device onto the wheel of the carriage as it heaved it's way out of the city. [Lucia Hallowground | Evermore city – City Streets - Thra Region] Riding in the carriage, Kuu properly responded to James' question. Kuuyari: "We where never part of the deal. The person you where to meet was probably someone who was to store the package in the Cathedral Vault. But I suppose that brings up another important question, how can I know the Riley does not work for the witch hunters?" It suddenly seemed like Kuuyari's offer to escape with them had turned out to be a trap of it's own. But at the moment, Lucia spoke up. Lucia: "The person who lead the ambush earlier seemed intent on capturing the both of us. Riley had said himself that he was hired as a third party. Belive me Kuu!" Kuuyari took a moment to look at Lucia, almost as if analyzing her face for truth or rewriting her theories in her head. Kuuyari: "I see. Well then, Lucia, the package please?" Motioning to give her the package, Lucia hesitated for a moment, but eventually gave it to her. As she did so, she asked Kuuyari a question. Lucia: "So what is it?" Kuuyari: "That is what we're to find out." Kuuyari took the small box out of the knapsack. She opened it carefully, reveling inside a small cone shaped object that had a reflective surface on it's flat end. Furthermore, the flat end had graduations of cuts in a circular fashion that radiated from the center like ripples. Even Kuuyari's face showed a rare expression of surprise. Kuuyari: "Heaven's Handmirror?! This was supposed be with the witch hunters...!" Lucia didn't want to sound uneducated, but her curiosity of the strange object got to her. Lucia: "So... what is it?" Kuuyari: "An artifact of sorts that traces back to long before our own time. You se-." Kuuyari was suddenly cut off, the voice came from Lucia's pendant, and for once was speaking almost normally, in the tone and voice that seemed befitting of a hero. Pendant: "Before they wiped themselves out, Civilizations in years past where capable of doing things that our own world can only dream of. One of these things was creating their own moons, up in the sky. They can control over these artificial celestial bodies and used them for all sorts of purposes that we no longer posses the knowledge to understand... PIE!" Kuuyari was familiar with the Pendant's occasional outbursts of intelligence, so she continued on normally. Kuuyari: "I believe the next thing the useless quest item was to say was that this artifact is a tool to control these artificial moons." Lucia: "Putting a moon in the sky, how where they able to do that?" Kuuyari: "The ancients had their ways. However, how strange that this and the Riley would show up at the same time." Kuu turned to Riley, and focused her eyes on him. She was about to tell him something important. Kuuyari: "You've told me your part of the story, so I shall speak of mine...." [Kuuyari Ryepebble | Flashback - Witch Insurgency Camp - Siphilys Region] The "Camp" was nothing more than a few tents set about in a messy pattern amongst the trees. The people at the camp where busy at work, packing up in preparation for a move. A slightly younger Kuuyari is putting away various equipment into a box, dissatisfied with the lack of actual action. Kuuyari: "How typical, I offer my expertise for battle and the only work left is moving..." Another insurgent whom is moving the boxes she's packing, overhears her statement. Witch Insurgent: "Most of the people with that mindset are already gone. For the rest of us, the only option left is to head out to the other regions where our presence is still strong." Kuuyari: "You speak as if there are barely any witches here. Symphilys is one of the most populated regions on the continent, how could we run out of manpower?" Witch Insurgent: "You can blame that on James Riley, he's the traitor that sold us all out." Kuuyari: "Riley?" At that moment yelling could be heard as the activity in the camp started to become more frenzied. The witch insurgent conversing with Kuuyari rushed back to work, carrying double the normal load he was carrying earlier with double the urgency. Witch Insurgent: "The scouts are probably giving signals that the Witch Hunter's are getting close to our location, we have to hurry and take what we can!" [Lucia Hallowground | Evermore city – City Streets - Thra Region] For the rest of what happened, Kuuyari condensed it for simplicity's sake. Kuuyari: "Up until recently, the operation in the Siphilys region have been going in our favor. However, in the span of a month, we had to withdraw from conducting major operations due to raids against our strongholds and attacks against our patrols. The enemy seemed to know about all of our movements. Coupled with the fact that the very group that you left was the first to be hit by these major raids roughly a week after you apparently had this resignation thing made, caused the elders to believe you where responsible for a large leak in information. This artifact was one of the items we had lost as a result of the raids of that time." Kuuyari took a moment to pause. She didn't intend to sound as if she was accusing James of anything, but was rather telling him what the Insurgency came to believe. Kuuyari: "There's a chance you might run into the survivors from your old group at our rendezvous point. Just be prepared to face whatever opinions they and the others may have of you." Though they couldn't quite see, one could feel the carriage move onto a different type of path from the cobblestone streets of the city. It seems like they had safely left the city. Kuuyari: "Ah, and allow me to give a late introduction. Kuuyari Ryepebble, hi." After her impassioned narration that presented an entire subplot's worth of information, her introduction left much to be desired. Regardless, she continued to stare down James with impartial eyes. At that moment, the angle of the passenger compartment seemed to change, hinting that it was going to a higher elevation. A few minutes passed until, the carriage came to a stop. The door in the passenger compartment opened to an overlook of the city partially obscured by bushes in the dark. The rendezvous point was nothing more than a forest clearing, with a couple of witches and wizards emerging from their illusion spells. Kuuyari motioned with her hand for Riley and Lucia to get out of the carriage first. Lucia, for the third time feeling like this may be a potential trap, raised her fist holding her dagger in an encouraging gesture without realizing she was still holding her dagger. Lucia: "Whatever they say, I'll back you up as I can Mr Riley!" From past experience, Lucia was positively certain that Kuu wasn't leading them into another trap despite the situation at hand, it wasn't quite in her character to do something quite as underhanded. |
