Hannah | Outskirts of Syphilis Capital | As Hannah reveled her self the young man spoke calmly, with a voice like gentle thunder. So the hound appears, know you stand in front of elven kin. I have no quarrel with you. This girl has done no harm to anyone and seeks peace far from cities. She seeks solitude and light. Allow me to pass , I shall not hold back , remember who stands before you He held the tip of his sword steady, with grace of an elf present in his state the wind caressed them and it surrounded him in a magical aura. Hannah softly changed her sense of site to her left, as her long bangs hid her soft eyes, as the words left her lips her right sense of touch reached her arc, a dark arrow began to form Even if she is no harm, she is a witch.. and.. She must die as well. The young Girl couldn't even stand off the ground, Hannah's presence engulf her in fear. I wish to not involve you in this matter She said to the young man protecting the girl But if so.. I will also eliminate you if needed Her Body stood firmly arched, postured her self to lunch the arrow aiming at the girl. Please Do not interfere, Her death is inevitable.. Its better this way.. As Hannah watched he girl fear for her life a memory comes to mind. | 13 years Ago | Papa Papa I did it, I did it!. Look at it, My arrow Look were it landed Do you see it? I sweet childish voice asked and a more gentle yet more older voice replayed laughing Oh, I see it, Well done! The image of this man's face its blurred away as he gently cares the young girls face. My little Arrowed Princess.. You have turned into an archer are you not? The two walked beside another, as they entered there home, suddenly horses galloped into there property. The young child called for her mother and her father stood before them keeping them away from the danger. Unknown men began to stump there way, They were Hunter, knowing this the Young male grabbed his arc and arrows and prepare his stand. The woman and the girl stood behind him for there was nothing they could of done. Suddenly the Hunters began to burn the surrounding, the flames eating away everything in site, Nothing left to do. The Hunters broke there way into the home, doing so the young men shot them with his arrows, but it was useless, to many and only one to protect his family. The mother, a Witch used her magic but was dragged out of the house and burned, in no time the hunters murdered her father with out any compassion, the girl was left alone, with the blood of her parents running down her face, She did not scream for them, or cry, she only stood there watching... | Outskirts of Syphilis Capital | After that moment she softly gasp as her finger losses the arrow, and travels to target the girl to the heart. |

[Lucia Hallowground | Evermore city - Thra Region] Lucia and Merik happened across a helpful person whom directed them to where they needed to go, considerably making this last portion of their delivery much easier. Since it was not quite nightfall, Lucia decided that the next most important thing was to find an inn to stay for the evening - and soon after that, Lucia decided to modify the plan somewhat as they stood before "The Easy Traveler", an inn of sorts that by the looks of it had to charge dreadfully low to even attract any customers. Lucia: "You know what, why don't you go check into our hotel for us?" Though Merik didn't say anything save for a light grunt, his face showed that he was questionable about the idea. Lucia: "What? We don't really need two people to deliver a package. Plus, I intend to go to sleep as soon as this is done with." Merik: "I still don't feel particularly trusting of that box. Just take care of yourself." Lucia flashed the dagger hanging at her waist. Lucia: "Yeah I'll just keep this with me just in case; so I'll be able to take care of myself. You've carried the box most of the way, so you go take a well earned break!" Merik: "If anything goes wrong..." Lucia: "I know the emergency rendezvous point. But really if something does go wrong I'll probably try to head here first." Merik: "Okay then." Lucia took a quick look at her current attire, somewhat weathered and dusted from the trip. She took a quick look around, and noticed a bush nearby, large enough to hide in. Merik already knew what she was up to. Lucia: "Keep an eye out for me just a second, can you?" Without waiting for his answer, Lucia jumped into the bush, the sound of equipment, cloth, and leaves getting shuffled about was heard within the bush. Fortunately, the street at that moment seemed pretty empty. After a minute, Lucia hopped out from the bush, clad in a red Kimono that was almost perfectly worn aside from a few leaves that got caught in. She also wore her pendant as a necklace, but quickly covered it up by closing her Kimono higher. Setting her sword and much of her gear and armor to the side, Lucia began to fix her attire and nonchalantly pull leaves out. Merik: "I still don't know if I should be entertained or worried about that habit of yours." Lucia: "This was all I have that I can effectively hide my knife in. Anyway, I shouldn't look to conspicuous. I hear this region has some immigrants from the culture living here." Merik: "You don't say. Anyway here, this Knapsack has the box. It's still in good condition even after all of the detours we ended up taking." Lucia: "Got it. Well then, I'll head out to give this to the client. Save me something to eat if you get the chance." With that, Lucia walked off, her wooden shoes interestingly not making nearly as much sound as one would expect. Merik quietly took Lucia's gear up and carried it into the "The Easy Traveler" like extra luggage. [Lucia Hallowground | Evermore city - Trafford Park - Thra Region] As Lucia entered the park, he dress began to talk. Pendant: Shorts!? Who the hell wears shorts with dresses!? Lucia hushed her dress in a quiet voice. Putting her hand over it to muffle his voice until it quieted down. The park itself was starting to empty at this point. Lucia, not knowing who exactly was to pick the package up, spent ample time strolling through the park, eying out the people who seemed to be loitering. ... Sometime afterward as the sky slowly began to fade into evening, Lucia spotted out a single man wearing a cloak (James), who has been rather adamant about staying in his spot. Lucia also noticed by his posture that he was with unfamiliar with the place or somewhat uncomfortable. She reasoned that he was the one likely waiting for the package. She took a moment to plan out a direction she could approach him where he would most likely not notice. In the event he actually wasn't the person she was looking for, she wrote out her approach to easily be written off as a adventurous party girl if it turns out she was wrong. And with that, she quietly glided towards the back of the cloaked man (James), and spoke in a seductive tone as she daintily held her hands holding the package behind her back. Lucia: "Excuse me, sir. You've been here for quite a while. Did you happen to be waiting for something? Or maybe, just for someone to come by?" After finishing, Lucia gave a smile that sang with dozens of sensual ulterior motives. She patiently waited for his reply, simultaneously entertained that she was able to use this sort of approach she rarely has the liberty to use. |

[Tirr Runendiel and Anima Grohm | Principus Forest] The sun sets as Tirr traverses through the thick forest. The forest is silent, devoid of any life. Bringing the carriage in the forest became problematic for him so he stops. In addition, he lost his way through the forest to Anima's dismay. Growing very impatient, Anima shouts in annoyance. Anima: "AHHHH!!! Why don't you use the map spell in The Grimoire so it'll show you the dwarfs' location?!! We must get this over with so we can leave this deserted place." Tirr lets out a sigh of annoyance. He tries to voice out his reason but can only murmur incomprehensible sounds. Anima: "The reason why I don't want to use it is because if I do, you have the chance to control me. I don't want you using my body for revenge. You say." Anima falls into silence and with a sudden burst of emotion(anger), she releases vast amounts of dark energy from The Grimoire. The Grimoire's corruption spread through Tirr's body, rendering him paralyzed while Anima takes over. Anima: "I didn't want to use a small amount of my stored energy for this but I might as well try it out now. And apparently, it worked." Tirr -in his mind-: "How are you able to take over me when I didn't even use any spells?" Anima ignores Tirr and opens The Grimoire for a spell. She flips through the pages as she tries to locate the spell that she wants. Anima finds what she wants and begins to inhale and lets out a howl. Anima: "ZROZA!" A map suddenly comes out of the book which shows where they are and the place of destination. It shows that it's somewhere in the center of the country. Tirr: "We are ways away from the city but this is unbelievable. I guess I know where to go now." Anima: "You are welcome. Well, that spell drained most of energy I just released so The Grimoire is taking me back. Don't talk to me." The corruption recedes back to The Grimoire and Tirr comes back to his senses. He begins driving the carriage through. It was very difficult for him because of the absence of trails for easy transportation. Feeling alone, Tirr finds the energy to voice out words. Tirr: "So, can you tell me how you are able to take control of me?" Anima, who grew very fickle of Tirr, chose not to answer his question. Tirr -losing his voice-: "It's fine if you don't...I...this thing...safeguard...beings...ignorant...power." Her curiosity of Tirr's reason grew, and she begins talking. Anima: "You are a very secretive and noble man. I didn't consider you keeping The Grimoire for such a noble cause. I thought you used it to build your fame in Avalon." Tirr -voice disappearing-: "Y...d...t...kn...m...ab...me..." They conversed until they arrived into the city somewhere in Principus. It's night time and Tirr wants to take rest. He rushes toward the dwarfs who guard the outskirts of the city. He asks for permission to enter and the dwarfs let him through. Tirr arrives in an inn and falls into slumber.

[Hira - Afternoon - Zen Clinic Basement - Vivian's Living Room - Fox Form] Hira had woken up a bit earlier in a unfamiliar place, he had looked around the room looking for something familiar, but hadn't noticed anything. He could smell someone in the air, the scent was quite pleasant and he felt his nerves calming down from it. Turning his head he noticed that his side had been stitched up and for some reason he could taste blood. He sat up on the couch stretching himself a bit before fully coming to a realisation that he was inside someone's house. He looked at the floor thinking about jumping before coming to a conclusion that jumping down might be a bad idea, considering the newly stitched wound on his side, but as the arrow had been removed that presented himself with another possibility. Focusing into himself his shape started changing and soon he was sitting on the couch in his human form, he stood up and took a few tentative steps, but returned back to the couch as each step shot a lance of pain through his side. After sitting back on the couch he let out a hefty yawn realising how tired he was still. He picked up the blanket, pulling it over himself as he laid down on the couch falling asleed, not realising that whoever had brought him in had only seen his fox form. [Hira - Afternoon - Zen Clinic Basement - Vivian's Living Room - Human Form] Hire heard a door open and sat up quickly his eyes wide open, this however caused the blanket that had been covering him to fly off. He looked at all of the humans inside the room, the boys were fully dressed and behind them he could see what he supposed was way out, the girl was only wearing a towel and he couldn't help to notice how pretty she looked. His train of thought was derailed by shouts from the boys however, though he wasn't able to make out what they were saying he could see they were angry and coming towards him. He instictively drew back from them and then let out a pained cry and curled into a ball, clutching his side as the stitches that had already been stretched from his transformation ripped open from his sudden movements. He could feel blood starting to leak from in-between his fingers and he started to panic, but he found himself unable to move and was only able to let out a pained whimper and to curl tighter into a ball. |

Vivian | Afternoon | Earth Sea - Kahedanan | Zen Clinic - Underground The scenery was chaotic. She witnessed her brother’s unpleasant expression as she listened to their roars. The helpless young man cowered to himself, afraid. She was terrified of the man on the couch too, but that faded away when she became familiar with the wound on his side. She thought, “Hey! That wound is in the same spot as the fox! It must be him!.. Wait.. He can turn into human?! What kind of sorcery is this?!”. Vivian’s consciousness became clear when she saw the young man’s façade.. It took a toll on her emotions. Vivian secured the ruby blanket that enveloped her. Her small cranial, styled with damp silver locks moved side to side, as her vision lingered around her chamber. Her sense of sight caught an earthy-polished wooden broom on the corner. She marched towards it, grabbed it with force and rushed in between her brothers and the young man. She lifted the broom sideways as if she applied threats to her brothers. Her left sense of touch was placed above, whereas the right sense of touch supported the bottom, above the broom’s teeth. Vivian scolded her brothers, “NOW JUST WAIT A MINUTE! WAIT A MINUTE! STOP YELLING AT HIM LIKE THAT. CAN’T YOU SEE THAT YOU ARE BOTH SCARING HIM?” Marcus threw her a distasteful expression and shot back, “WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?! IT WAS ALREADY BAD ENOUGH THAT HE’S BARE! YOU TOO?!” Vivian slapped Marcus across the face. “OW!”, as his voice pitched higher, angry and in disbelief. He widened his sense of vision, signaled that he never knew Vivian could act on such thing. Niam felt the same emotion, which left his jaw dropped within the air. "I’m sorry brother! But you CANNOT THINK OF ME LIKE THAT! That’s disrespectful! LET ME EXPLAIN.”, she protested Marcus tended to the slap on his cheek with his giant and lifeless sense of touch. Marcus had a huge built, muscular and dark-skinned. His hair was chocolate brown, but his eyes stole the show, as they were Ocean Blue, bright and peaceful. Deep inside, he was caring young man. Niam knew very well she could not reason with her sister. Therefore, he browsed for a mahogany wooden stool and sat there. He disliked the man, but he knew there was a reason why Vivian brought him there. Marcus stood stiffly beside him, also grew suspicious of the man. However, both remained quiet. After raising her voice, she looked back at the young man, witnessing that the wound began to bleed again. She sighed, dropping the broom on the side and placed the blanket over him. She marched towards the storage room, placed the gloves and took the medicine equipment and anti-septic. She gently placed them on her lap, studied the wound and cleaned the equipments She glanced at the young man and her soft voice sang, “You shouldn’t move much or you will reopen the wound. I’m sorry about my brothers. They’re just trying to protect me. But they really mean very well. You will like them. They will like you too. I will repeat the procedure again. Like I said, you can just relax, alright?” By this time, Vivian has already casted the Mermaid’s Pearl and began stitching up the wound again. Her voice emitted louder pitch as she began the conversation with her brothers. “I was taking a break after my shift upstairs. So I decided to cruise the Everrean Forest. I heard noises, followed it, which lead me to find this young man… Though he wasn’t a young man then.. He was a fox. He was badly wounded, so I had to care for him..”. Vivian looked up to the young man and gave him a reassuring smile. He could visualize her sanguine eyes clearly this time. “I know his kind, he must be a Kitsune.” Marcus responded sternly. He left afterwards. After tending to the young man, Vivian rounded the cleaning & storage and headed to the hallway. It wasn't too long until she came out with an ebony corset and jeans. Her locks dried and styled. She sat on the floor, by the young man and grinned at him. Niam chuckled, “Her love for the animals, it’s amazing..” “I’m Vivian. The man with the red attire is my brother, Niam. The young man who just left was Marcus. Would you like to let us know your name and where you’re from?” Marcus returned with some clothes on one hand and a slain rabbit on the other. He offered them to the young man. Vivian looked at her brother and grinned, “Thank you, brother. I really appreciate your efforts.”

[Hira - Afternoon - Zen Clinic Basement, Kahedenan, Earthsea - Vivian's Living Room - Human Form] He had stayed silent and just kept looking from between the people in the room. After she smiled at him he started actually relaxing, her looks reminded him of his parents, the white hair and red eyes being something of a sign of a kitsune. He flinched a bit when the larger of the two brothers spoke up before leaving. He simply nodded a bit when she introduced herself and the others. When her larger brother, Marcus, came back with clothes and a rabbit offering both to him he carefully stretched his arms towards them and retracted his hands after grabbing the objects, resisting the urge to quickly pull away. He put the rabbit onto the arm of the couch and looked at the clothes, they were simple, a bit large for his small frame, but having wrong sized slothes had never really mattered for him. He stood up the blanket falling once again and pulled the pants on, after he had gotten them up he stopped to look at the others in the room, a bit mystified by their reactions, but he just shrugged and tightened the pants around his waist. He then sat back down on the couch, once a gain looking at the three, he couldn't quite read any of their expressions, but he figured it had something to do with how he got dressed, he looked down at the pants he was wearing wondering if he had putten them on the worng way around, wouldn't be the first time... Certain that he had the pants on alright he then picked up the rabbit and looked at it for a moment wondering what should he do with it. In the end instinct won as he was hungry and needed the energy to recover, so he simply bit into the rabbit tearing meat off from it with his teeth. Even as he was eating he was still keeping eye on the siblings. It didn't took him that long to finish the rabbit, leaving behind only a mess of skin and bones. Afterwards he opened his mouth to speak, but after a quick look at Marcus and Niam he closed it again and stayed silent. After a moment he turned to Marcus however and gave him a small nod and thanks in barely audible whisper, after which he fell silent once again curling up in the corner of the couch. It was rather clear that the presence of the brothers was making him wary as he was sitting as far away from them as possible. |

Rand And Era | Outskirts of Syphilis Capital | Rand Felt his gaze linger on the young girl in front of him. He felt a moment of emptiness filling him as he looked at the girl he remembered days past looking at witches he had seen and watch lose themselves at others whim. Yet he could not feel pity. People chose their own paths, to stand in the face of darkness and stare at it was ones own choice. It was not long before he got the answer to the question he posed. " Even if she is no harm, she is a witch.. and.. She must die as well. " She replied softly " Yet you stand in front of me...A witch, you may ..Never mind your mind has lost reason." He whispered the final parts to himself " I wish to not involve you in this matter, But if so.. I will also eliminate you if needed " The young girl said firmly Rand watched. He did not speak. as an elf he had lived 350 years, in his peoples land this was young. But he had lived with humans for many of those years and he knew how long one year seemed with them. He felt the cold loneliness of humanity. In a way he envied their short lives. To endure human life like that for as long as an elf would be a punishment too hard to think about. He broke from his thought as she spoke again. ". Please Do not interfere, Her death is inevitable.. Its better this way.." He hard her say slowly He noticed a small change and saddening in her eyes. Solemn and an echo of what he was thinking about not long past. what seemed like hours was a simple few seconds and he saw her draw a bow and let out a breath. To an archer that was simple reading. Her arrow loosed true. His elven eyes saw the path of the arrow before it even travelled a few yards. Within the few milliseconds he had to think. He gauged her stance. Well trained and the stance of a hunter. The bow was drawn and loosed almost as good as the best human archer he had seen, But to and elven archer it lacked. He flicked his stance backwards And lifted his left hand. His finger raised out a solid white bar of light began to emerge from his fingertips. "Avro Agh'an vie " He whispered as the light ran from his fingers and pushed the arrow of course. The arrow still flew skimming past Era's Face, The girl gasped and winced as a hot flushing feeling touched her cheek. She was bleeding. She looked up at rand holding her face. "You stand up, Or next time ill make you dodge it yourself. " Rand turned back to the young girl and sheathed his sword. " You shoot well " He said as he reached back and drew his bow " I will have you compare your shot to and Elven shot. " He drew his bow and knocked the arrow fast and drew back. The elven bow was larger and heavier than a human bow but for an elf it was as light as a feather. He drew back and loosed. He was not aiming at the girl though the arrow flew straight past her. only touches away from her hair it thumped straight through the wing of a fly and pinned it to the tree yards behind the girl. " Your arrow rode the wind, mine was one with it. I do not see evil in you girl. I do not see something i should kill. If you one day seek the power to follow your own will. Protect something and decide your fate seek me out. I will seek the cursed elf soon. If you wish to find me start there. If not , may the light bless you " Rand touched his chest and a silver and white energy rift opened it resonated and created a portal next to him. In the portal was the sky and from it burst his Gryphon Avolin. It crashed down creating a wind of dust around them. Rand seized the oppertunity of the cover to throw the girl Era onto Avolin as he jumped up and mounted her. With a beat of her wings they lifted. "You are no slave to fate or whim. if you continue this path we shall meet again and once again force weapons to hand. Until then..." Avoliin lifted high and flew. |

[James Riley] [Thra - Evermore City - Trafford Park] James decided to take strolls around the park to familiarize himself with the environment, enjoy some late sightseeing, and of course, looking for the Reflector. He saw some peculiar looking characters in the park, but he ignored them. James tried to act as natural as possible, due to his cloak and loitering around the park. As the sun started going down to the horizon, he decided to take a seat at a bench nearby. James sighed as he is starting to feel hungry. James: "Maybe I should get myself a dinner, and then return to the park." Then, James heard a female voice talking behind him. Lucia: "Excuse me, sir. You've been here for quite a while. Did you happen to be waiting for something? Or maybe, just for someone to come by?" He got up from the bench, and faced the lady, with his face partially covered by the old, brownish cloak. She is wearing a red Oriental dress, and an unusual pair of wooden shoes. She is also carrying a knapsack behind her. James noticed her smile on her lovely face. It is been a while since he saw this kind of expression, and that would be his lost sister. Somehow, instead of being charmed by the young lady's smile, James felt suspicious. James: "Yes. I'm waiting for someone..." At this moment, he began to realize that this woman is exuding an unique aura, possibly the aura of an experienced fighter or, a witch, just like his mysterious employer had said. James gave a light smile to the lady. Within his mind, he knows that she is no ordinary civilian. James did a quick scan around him for any eavesdroppers, before asking her identity. James: "Young Lady, by chance are you the Reflector?" As the two of them goes on, they did not realize that this is a trap. Several Witch Hunters were in hiding, observing James and the young girl. The leader, who has a short, light blue hair and wears a black leather armor, spoke softly with his subordinates nearby. "Once she passes the package to the cloaked figure, we'll move in and arrest everyone!" He continued with a wide grin on his face. "Even the package doesn't have the forbidden relic that the Council is looking for, at least we have the witch. A live one is worth more than a dead one..." ![]() ![]() |

[Lucia Hallowground | Evermore city - Trafford Park - Thra Region] James: "Yes. I'm waiting for someone..." The cloaked man stood up from where he sat, and from beyond his coverings, Lucia spotted him giving her friendly smile. Despite this, he seemed to be somewhat reserved, the sort of reaction Lucia was hoping for. He appeared to take a quick scan around, which also seemed to be a positive indicator that he was the recipient, and then spoke to her. James: "Young Lady, by chance are you the Reflector?" Lucia’s smile nearly cracked at that moment. Her kind face eased into a slightly more relaxed one as she took a step back, and turned so that her front was partially obscured from the man’s view. As she eyed the surroundings, she found the park to suddenly seem eerily empty. (This is not seeming good, was this whole delivery just a trap? Either way, I’ll need to assume the worst. But… after what happened to Angie… why did something like this have to happen again?) Lucia turned her head toward the man, forcing the same smile she had given when she approached him. As she spoke to him, she slid one of her her hands into her obi, where her knife was hidden. An intuitive watcher might’ve also noticed her feet silently shifting into a combat stance. Lucia: “’Reflector’ huh? That’s a pretty strange name. It’s like those codenames that the Witch Hunter Council sometimes gives to track the ones they really want to catch. Jeez, I wonder how you came to learn of that name.” Though Lucia’s face was still locked in a kind expression, she spoke with a forcefully grim tone as she gave him the same speech that was given to several others before. Lucia: “Hey, I want to go home tonight sir. If you want to do the same then may I suggest you go away and forget about who I am, and everything that just happened.” With her hand firmly over her hidden dagger, she purposely caused a loud unsheathing sound that the man before her could clearly hear. She also visibly seemed to be preparing on making a move to attack him. All of these purposeful signs where meant to force the man to react, and should he do so aggressively, Lucia would perform a flash step action to land a deadly blow to his back. |

[Tirr Runendiel and Anima Grohm | Thind City, Principus] Tirr wakes up at dawn with a refreshed look on his face. Anima seems to be sleeping as well. Tirr silently takes The Grimoire with him. He slowly walks out of the room and leaves the inn. Tirr comes across a street peddler who prepares his shop for customers and takes up the courage to ask him a question. Tirr: "Excuse me, do you know where I can find the nearest blacksmith in this city?" Peddler: "Ohh!! You're a new face and an elf, too. Welcome to the city of Thind. The blacksmith of this area is within a walking distance. Just go 3 blocks that way. The shop is too unique to be missed." Tirr: "Thank you. Is the blacksmith's race a dwarf?" Peddler: "Yes, you're the only elf who visited this place for years. We usually don't get travelers here because we applied magic in the forest. How did you get here anyway?" Tirr: "I can't say." Peddler: "Well, good luck." The elf bows with gratitude to the peddler and left. He walked past 3 blocks as the peddler told him and noticed the shop. The shop has a huge image of a black cat wearing boots holding the sign: "Black Cat". Anima wakes up. Anima: "The owner must have character. I bet this dwarf will have a flamboyant personality." Tirr knocks into the door. In a few minutes, an old dwarf with huge physique opens the door. The dwarf seems to be around 600 years of age. Dwarf: "What do you want?" Anima: "This elf wants to become your disciple." The dwarf is confused as to where the voice have come from. He interviews Tirr. Dwarf: "Can you speak, elf? I don't know where the voice came from but I don't trust people who doesn't give me a good first impression." Anima resumes on speaking in Tirr's behalf. Due to them being together for two centuries, she knows his limitations. Anima: "The voice came from this book hanging on the elf's side. I speak on his behalf. He doesn't speak too much at a point that he loses his voice if he converses more than his vocal chords can handle. The elf's name is Tirr. He wants to find out how to dispel curses out of his craft." Dwarf: "Interesting. My name is Daath. What do you mean curse?" Tirr feels very uneasy on where the conversation is heading. However, he decides to keep calm and let Anima do the talking for him. Anima: "This elf was a famous blacksmith in his city. He created very powerful weapons out of brightstone that a witch cursed him. From then on, most of his craft curses the users who use them. He was banished. He traveled across the land to learn how to dispel curses from what he creates." Daath: "Are you that legendary blacksmith of Imil? So, that's what happened. I heard rumors back then that you sided with the witch but the elves did not realize that you were just cursed. Yet, I have to decline. There's no such methods which dispels curses. You might have to hire a priest with you." Anima: "What about normal weapons? Can you teach him that?" Daath: "Seriously? The quality of everything an Elf makes is greater than a dwarf like me can do. As much as I want to take you in, you're already well known. It would be dishonorable for me." The old dwarf apologizes to Tirr and closes his door. Tirr grew disappointed and thanked Anima for lying through her teeth about his past. Their journey went in vain. Anima: "So, what are we going to do now?" Tirr: "Siphilys." Anima: "I'm glad we can finally hunt those cursed race. I can't wait to cause terror among the witch-hunters." Tirr -coarsely-: "Weapons' dealer." Anima: "Whatever." [Location: Outskirts of Siphilys capital, Emerald City] With an abrupt sound of the engine, the carriage stopped in front of the entrance of Emerald City. Upon their arrival, Anima felt ambivalent entering enemy territory. The guards did an inspection of Tirr's carriage when Anima became worried of something and telepathically converses with the elf. Anima -telepathically-: "How can you be so calm about this? My body is in your carriage, what will you do if they find it?" Tirr -telepathically-: "I have a plan that I want to try. Just watch." The guards were astounded to what they have found. A beautiful red-haired woman whose skin can be likened to that of ivory. The woman is dressed as such that it looked like a doll in a casket. The guards interrogates the elf. Guard: "What is a body doing in your carriage?" Tirr -boldly-: "Are you talking about the doll in there? That's a model in the image of my lovely wife. I couldn't bear to live without her so I made it. Don't touch it. It's very delicate." The guards grew uncomfortable towards the actions of the elf that they let him though rather quickly. Tirr starts the engine and enters Emerald City. Tirr gives his reason to Anima. Tirr -telepathically-: "I learned how to lie from observing you. That was very bold of me, I apologize. But, that's the only way I can get through inspection without them suspecting that it was a real corpse of a witch. It's very risky to bring your body here." Anima: "I understand. However, don't ever do that again. You creep me out. Anyway, let's leave this city once you're done with your business. There's an ominous air looming over this city. I don't want to stay here for long while my body is vulnerable. I must be revived!" After a few minutes of driving through the streets in Emerald City, Tirr arrives in an inn. Anima asks Tirr for a favor to take over his body as she casts an invisibility spell onto her corpse. Tirr agreed in the condition that she won't use his body to cause trouble. She assures him that The Grimoire absorbs her back after she casts one spell. Anima -Tirr's body-: "UMBUXUVUKURH" Her corpse vanishes while it lays in the coffin inside the carriage. Her soul is being drawn by The Grimoire. Tirr reclaims control of his body. Anima: "Where are we headed?" Because of the stain in his vocal chords after making a scene at the entrance of Emerald City, Tirr utters words in difficulty, "...park....a map...city...market place is." Tirr sets out with Anima in The Grimoire by his side. They leave the inn to a certain park in Emerald City.

Hawkeye Outskirts of Siphillys - Mountain above forest full of vegetation Afternoon As soon as I found her cabin in my scope, she walked out into the open and towards a large summoning circle. The target is a powerful witch, classified as an A-Rank. It all started when she took down an entire city, along with other witch hunters in the process. This was all caused when her husband died, from an accident that a witch hunter had caused. Which in return, caused a hatred that formed an invisible chain around her neck. Unable to break free, she seeked vengence. Another victim of wrath. Currently, she's preparing her summon. The same summon she used to destroy the city. An ancient war god. Fiery red molten giant, white eyes and mouth, and carries a large white spear, capable of destroying anything it touches. However, it requires a large amount of mana and seven souls for sacrifice. Assuming she follows the proper procedures, the hostages will be sacrificed during the last hour before midnight. When I strike, she would have already exhausted most of her mana.

Hannah| Outskirts of Siphillys | After Hannah losses the grip of her bow, it takes flight but He whispered as the light ran from his fingers and pushed the arrow of course. Hannah twitch a little, she usually never misses, The arrow still flew skimming past Era's Face, The girl gasped and winced as a hot flushing feeling touched her cheek. She was bleeding. The man beside the girl spoke You shoot well He said as he reached back and drew his bow, The young Hannah did not move, but was very watchful, the man continued I will have you compare your shot to and Elven shot. He drew his bow and knocked the arrow fast and drew back. The elven bow was larger and heavier than a human bow but for an elf it was as light as a feather. He drew back and loosed. The arrow flew straight past Hannah only touches away from her hair it thumped straight through the wing of a fly and pinned it to the tree yards behind the girl. Her sense of site moved to her right as her long hair rested back to place, The man commented Your arrow rode the wind, mine was one with it. I do not see evil in you girl. I do not see something i should kill. A silver and white energy rift opened it resonated and created a portal next to him. In the portal was the sky and from it burst his Gryphon Avolin. It crashed down creating a wind of dust around them. Hanna rose her hand to cover her eyes from the dust, Rand seized the opportunity of the cover to throw the girl Era onto Avolin as he jumped up and mounted her. With a beat of her wings they lifted. For some reason she did not drew another arrow to stop them, Before they took flight The young man spoke kindly You are no slave to fate or whim. if you continue this path we shall meet again and once again force weapons to hand. Until then... As they left, she quickly turned around towards the Mountain above forest, A ritual.. Before she took a step she whispered.. You speak of such things as if you knew my grief.. With words spoken she began to ran towards the inside of the forest. She is known for been very athletic, so she used her surrounding to get by towards her next target, Like any other half witch, she could sense when a ritual would be taking place. The sun was slowly descending so it would be perfect at midnight, but Hannah would not wait until midnight. Approaching, she lowered her steps to be more silent, But as she reached the place, from her location she could see the Witch preparing the summoning circle, as her eyes analyzed the summoning ritual, she rose her gaze more into the forest and saw Jack. Then she wondered What are you waiting for?... The summoning?.. She believes in no hesitation, even thou Jack was above her, she decided to act instead of wait until the summoning. Then, that thought came to mind You are no slave to fate or whim.. As it echoed in her mind she began to walk out the vegetation, by doing so she slowly became exposed, reviling her petite physical figure, a dark summoning circle began to surrounded the ground she stood on, She took her stance, draw a bow and whispered. I may not be a slave to fate or whim... But all of them are.. After that, Everything happened so slowly, Her dark aura engulfed the arrow, the Iris of her eyes glowed another color, and right when the Witch turned her, gaze towards the young girl, The Witches mouth murmured Hannah's name, Hannah gently let out a breath I'll Set You Free.. Her arrow loosed true, leaving a trace of dark feathers behind, it traveled so quickly it was almost invisible to see for the naked eye, But Jack was able to see the speed of it. The arrowed traveled, and penetrated the bound that kept her safe as soon as the arrow touched the witches chest it when into her heart, and like so she fell backwards into the ground, erasing some of the summoning circle. As Hannah drew her bow down her eyes glanced at Jack, She knew that Jack been her superior this action may cause problems. |

OOC: Mistress you naughty girl. Hawkeye Outskirts of Siphillys - Mountain above forest full of vegetation Afternoon Another witch hunter appeared from the forest and interrupted the summoning. The witch hunter appeared to be Hannah, an elf, but half witch. Hannah shot her arrow into the witch's heart and knocked her back, erasing a portion of the spell circle. But an arrow to the heart was not enough to fully kill the witch.(The witch was healing her heart the whole time) Jack immediately took action and shot several rounds into the knees and arms, crippling the witch. As soon as the shots were fired and confirmed, Jack pulled out his phone and dialed Hannah's cell number while packing up. When Hannah finally answered the phone, Jack said in a hurried tone, "Do not kill the witch, do not let the hostages leave the site." Jack made quickly made his way down the mountain and towards the cabin that was a 1000m away.

Lynea Distillia | Ruins of Xath - Carvahall As they nearly arrived, Lynea feels that Xath wasn't the same as before. Lynea : "What in the..." Lynea then increasing her speed towards Xath, as she reached Xath... She was surprised to see the town in ruin Hamuul : "This is horrible." Lynea : "I just hope I didn't find something that'll be more horrible than this..." Lynea then runs throughout the ruins, she then saw her house 5 years ago... which was now destroyed. Lynea : "No..." Lynea runs inside, she saw the house was messed up. Lynea : "Mom!? Alia!? Lily!?" She called out for her mom and her sisters, but she didn't got any responses. Lynea then looked around, she saw the family portrait. Nothing seemed wrong on the portrait except everyone's face... except Lynea was torn. Lynea : "Who could've done such a horrible thing?" Lynea searched around for clues. The only thing that she found was her mom's necklace. Lynea : "No... Wherever you are Mom, Alia, Lily... I hope you're okay." Just then, Hamuul showed up behind Lynea. Hamuul : "I hate to break this up, but I feel another person is around here." Lynea looked at Hamuul. Lynea : "There's a survivor? Or rather... an investigator?" Hamuul : "Why ask me? I just read the situation around... Not knowing the rest of it." Lynea : "I'll take that as an investigator... Well, whatever... At least we can ask the guy about what happened here." Hamuul disappears, then Lynea walked to find the person that Hamuul mentioned. Some times later, they found the person (Zion). Lynea : "Ha, I was right, it was not a survivor." Hamuul : "Be careful Lynea, we don't know if he's a hunter or not." Lynea ignores Hamuul, she approached the person from behind. Lynea : "Hmm... I wonder what are you doing in a ruined town like this..." Lynea walked past the man, then she looked at the man. Lynea : "This town was my hometown... I just came back from my travels, seeing this really hurts me... Did you do this? If not... then, do you know who did it? And... did my family survived?" |

[James Riley] [Thra - Evermore City - Trafford Park] After asking for her identity, the lady in front of James nearly laughed at his question. She then eased herself, before taking a step backwards and taking a quick look at the environment around her. The woman also adjusted her posture so that James can only partially see her face. Somehow, James can feel the rising tension within the atmosphere, as the park becoming too quiet. Not even a single chirp from the crickets. The lady replied to James' question. Lucia: " ’Reflector’ huh? That’s a pretty strange name. It’s like those codenames that the Witch Hunter Council sometimes gives to track the ones they really want to catch. Jeez, I wonder how you came to learn of that name." James noticed her suspicious movements. The tension continued to rise. He took a deep breath, and responded to the young woman calmly. James: "Well, my employer told me about it. He didn't told me who he is, nor what the contents of package that you are now carrying. So... yeah." The lady still has her kind face, but the expression has lost its effects, as she spoke again, this time with a sterner tone. Lucia: "Hey, I want to go home tonight sir. If you want to do the same then may I suggest you go away and forget about who I am, and everything that just happened." James tries to lower her distrust towards him. James: "So do I! I still haven't ----" His speech was interrupted by the loud, unsheathing sound, presumably a blade, as James clearly saw the lady was trying to arm herself. Now, with a dagger in hand, the lady was in a fighting pose, preparing to attack him. As for James, he can feel the surge of adrenaline in his body. The fight or flight decision. The worst case scenario has happened. James: "The last thing I want to do is to fight her..." James never underestimate female fighters, especially the one in front of him. He knew that young woman can easily win him in a fight, if he is not careful enough, even though she looks younger. Not to mention James is not fond of fighting women too. He decided to talk his way out, cowardly style. James: "Whoa whoa whoa whoa calm down! I meant no harm okay?" James raised his hands up high and turned around, showing the lady that he did not carry any sort of weapons on him. He even takes out the coin purse which is meant for her. James: "See? I didn't bring any sorts of weapon with me! And hey, I even have the payment for you too!" He said with a smile. James really hoped that he could finish the deal without any bloodshed. On the other side, the leader of the ambush group is getting impatient. "Goddamn it! I hope they can get over with it quickly and reveal the package!" He sighed as he looked at his subordinates. "I'll give another few minutes. After that, package or not, we'll go in swiftly and leave no escape routes!" ![]() ![]() |

[Tirr Runendiel and Anima Grohm | Emerald City, Siphilys] Upon arrival, Tirr quickly walks straight towards a billboard with a map posted on it. He looks for the message "You are here" as well as the location of the city hall on the map. Anima wonders why they have to go to the city hall when Tirr specifically said they're going to the Market Place to be an arms dealer. Anima: "Aren't we just looking at the map to know where the market is located?" Tirr -telepathically-: "I need to meet with an official of this city in order for me to legally sell what I make." Anima: "I see. Well, carry on." Tirr found the city hall's location. He also found the market place. The city hall is a few blocks away from the inn while the market is right across the park. As Tirr marched out of the park, Anima senses an omen coming from the market place. Anima: "Tirr, I didn't tell you this but there's two people following you. This is what I felt when we arrived in this city so I'm just giving you a warning to be careful and cautious. I'm not sure if they can be trusted." Tirr: "Ok." Tirr lets out a sigh and walked to the city hall. Along the way, Anima grew worrisome about the persons (Snake/Zaka) stalking them. She demands Tirr to tell them that he knows they're following him. Anima: "Confront them. I hope you can find some confidence to talk to them. You're 484 years old for crying out loud." Tirr -loudly-: "Show yourselves. I know you're following me ever since I left the inn (lying). There's no reason for hiding anymore. What do you want from me?" Tirr and Anima waits for them to reveal themselves or run away.

(OOC: Sorry for not posting for awhile. I have been quite busy lately.) [Giotto Kiryu|Witch-Hunter's Bar-Evermore City| Afternoon] Giotto continue to sit at the counter, his golden-orange eyes glance around before it stay fixated on the bartender in front of him. He opens his lips and spoke in a calm yet husky voice,"Have you any news of the witch that caused the havoc within the town of Xath?" The bartender eye him carefully as he wipe a glass with a cloth before he answered Giotto. "Well, I've heard of few things from here and there. It would seem the witch was described as Aqua." "Aqua? As in her power? That doesn't sound destructive enough to bring one single town into ruins.." He muttered. "No, it is not her power, rather her appearance is all in the color Aqua," The bartender stated. "As for her powers, it was said she is a Gale and Lightning user." "Gale and Lightning, huh? Sounds like a combination powerful enough to create a cyclone.. thank you for your help. The name is Primo," He said as he extend his hand towards the bartender. The bartender put the cloth and glass down while wiping his hands before he shook Giotto's hand. "Synex. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Primo," Synex spoke calmly with a light smile on his rugged face. Giotto withdrew his hand and decided it is time for him to leave the bar. He pay for what he had ordered. He gather his bag and walks out the door after bidding farewell to his new friend. He steps out of the bar and onto the street of Evermore. He looks both ways before deciding on the path he wish to go. [Zess|Ruins of Xath-Carvahall|Afternoon] The dark-haired man continues his exploration, his piercing silver eyes glance around while he walks around avoiding the rubble of the ruins. But he stopped as he senses someone had entered the vicinity. Perhaps a person who once lived here? He thought. He continues to walk around till he senses the presence earlier close by. He stopped once again till he saw a person came in view of his eyesight. He stare at the young lady as he watched her walks over to him. While she walks over to him, he senses another presence. A familiar or Kudan perhaps? He continues to analyze her with his piercing silver eyes and noticed the unique aura she possesses, he wonder if she is a witch or not. Since he is not sure, he stay quiet of what she is. He watches as she walks past him, feeling her looking at him as she asked him some questions. He looks at her and spoke in a deep-light tone voice in a calm manner, "No, I did not do this...as for who had done it. It is a witch. I do not know if your family had survived or not. If they did, they are consider strong and lucky." ![]() |

Outskirts of Siphillys - Mountain above forest full of vegetation Afternoon | After Hannah made contact with Jack, she turned her attention to The Witch, She was slowly standing and with her own hands began to pull the arrow out her chest. Quickly Jack immediately took action and shot several rounds into the knees and arms, crippling her. The woman looked at Hannah and there eyes met, but they were interrupted, Jack called Hannah and spoke Do not kill the witch, do not let the hostages leave the site The Witch was a healer so she continued to use her bound to heal her wounds. Hannah, placed her bow behind her back and ran down the steep hill towards the Cabin, were the hostages were kept. Jack was at lease 1000m away. But the Witch was powerful, she knew her spells, As Hannah closed in at the Cabin she could see inside it, The Witch took her stand barely, and with her blood drew a summoning, a stronger barrier cover the surrounding area. Hannah quickly stopped in her tracks but the gust of the summoning pushed her a few feet in the air and to the ground, Her body hit the cold ground, landing on her back. The Witch took the opportunity to re-create the summoning circle, It seemed she was not going to wait, The surrounding area was still bounded, so she assessed the opportunity and dragged a young 10 year old girl to sacrifice. The young girl began to scream as loud as she could, Someone Help Me!! Hannah's eyes opened slowly and revealed an aberrant digression, they lingered throughout the atmosphere, she could hear the beats of her heart with her hearing sense but they drifted away by the screams of the girl. Her small fingers began to twitch, her body was starting to come back from the hit, she began the attempted to assemble her body, pushed her self off the ground, but her right hand was provisionally paralyzed and bruised, probably from the previous event. The elixir of her voice whispered ... Have to stop her before She draws blood.. As Jack Approached, Hannah draw her bow, and began to target the Witch, The arrow began to form just like before but this time the Summoning circle appeared in front of the Arrow, This way it would completely destroy the bound, and give an opening to Jack but it was hard for her took keep it steady sense her right hand was bruised. Still, Hannah gently let out another breath and her arrow loosed true, leaving a trace of dark feathers behind, but this time the arrow flashed and a glass shattering sound was heard. Her Arrow disintegrated the bound and gave Jack and opening. |

[Lucia Hallowground | Evermore city - Trafford Park - Thra Region] Contrary to what she was expecting, the man did not react aggressively, the sentences he spilled out as during her intimidation made him seem like a helpless bystander hired as part of the deal. Lucia’s gut instinct told her that the cloaked man was telling the truth. The man then revealed that he was unarmed by turning around, and gave her a smile in an appeal for her to stop being aggressive. The gold purse he took out as her payment also touched a kind nerve in her mind. James: "See? I didn't bring any sorts of weapon with me! And hey, I even have the payment for you too!" Lucia ceased her movement. She quickly ran through her alternatives of what to do. Quite a few of the options she considered was incapacitating the man, taking the money, and dragging him off somewhere for questioning. But, something kept on bugging her in the back of her mind. This was no doubt something set up by the witch hunters; but if the man was telling the truth and was simply drawn in, the only other logical possibility of this set up was for… (An ambush…) Meeting at night, the now apparently deserted park, Lucia wasn’t sure, but out of all the other options this one seemed the likeliest. But there was still the issue of what to do with the person in front of her. She eventually reached a decision. She feigned an embarrassed expression and returned the man’s smile. Lucia: “I don't know why, but something tells me you're telling the truth. Since you where honest, here.” Lucia visibly re-sheathed the dagger and put it back in her obi to show that the man had convinced her of his innocence. She faced the cloaked man, and held out the knapsack containing the box that was meant to be delivered. She resumed business as normal, speaking clearly and concisely. Her second expressional shift was incredibly smooth. Lucia: “This bag contains the box that I was given in Mordor. The client told me to meet someone whom would pick up this package at this location on this date. In exchange for the second half of the payment of 19,000 Gold Pieces, I’ll give you this box. As requested, the box was never opened, and I assure you it’s in the same condition as it was given.” Though Lucia seemed to be staring intently at the cloaked man as she waited for him to trade the knapsack for the payment, her attention was spread out in a wide range. She was expecting for something to happen, but wasn't sure exactly what that something would be. She was certain that she had already fallen for a witch hunter setup of some sort, and the best she could to at this moment was be prepared to respond to it. |
