...For the last eight hundred years, the mighty Zorostrian Empire ruled the known world with iron fist, while the scholars and holy men scoured the land for the pieces of the powerful Orb of Eternity.
With the arrival of the New Moon, which is descending toward the world, the Zorostrians frantically tried to recover the missing pieces. Alas, in last fifteen years, not a single piece was found.
Today, it was going to change.
~~Prologue: Heralds of the Empire~~
(http://i.imgur.com/mL0pRvU.png)
Prince Aliberti was standing near the window, glaring the thunderstorm that was lingering over the capital city. Dark clouds, tinted with crimson and brown hues, were flashing brightly while the lightning coursed inside them, or traveled down to the ground.
The changes in weather were more frequent and more unpredictable than before. Yesterday, it was raining. This morning, the orange sun was shining, partially shadowed by the red sphere of the New Moon. Now, few hours after the zenith, there was a thunderstorm.
There was a knock on the door, but the Prince kept staring outside. A moment later, the knocking was repeated, and the Prince finally turned toward the door.
(http://i.imgur.com/WaufLmX.png) "You may enter." He watched the door open, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
(http://i.imgur.com/WaufLmX.png) "Kerr, Aurelian. What brings you here? Have the elders, or the King, finally decided to call for my presence? Do you know anything? Tell me everything you've been told."
//Kerr and Aurelian Wolfgar are now in!
-
Aurelian entered with his brother, followed by a slight metallic rustle from his armor. The young knight saluted the prince but hesitated for a moment before speaking up. He's still trying to get used to the whole 'serving the prince of Zorostrian'.
(http://i.imgur.com/hUnY1ad.png) "Its actually the grand alchemist, Prince Aliberti. Sir Aldbaren wishes to speak with you in the Inner Palace. I'm afraid that's all we were told, Prince Aliberti, my apologies." He hopes he did that right. In retrospect he wished he got more training in formality beyond his brother's quick crash course after the, uh, embarrassment that happened when he arrived.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/WaufLmX.png) "I see..." The Prince turned toward the window for a brief moment.
(http://i.imgur.com/WaufLmX.png) "Fine, Grand Alchemist it is. I wished that someone more important would order me around, but if it's that old man, so be it. Come! Let's not make him wait too long." Prince Aliberti marched outside his room in soldier's pace, his two swords, hidden in scabbards, knocking gently against his lacquered armor at his waist.
(http://i.imgur.com/WaufLmX.png) "And I told you you would look pretty with colorful hair, Kerr." The Prince added, with a snicker, after a moment.
To get to the Inner Palace from the Royal Chambers, one had to pass through the open corridors that encircled the Second Courtyard. Which means people were exposed to the weather; the hot, dust-filled wind eagerly attacked the Prince and his two companions, but Aliberti wasn't bothered by such simple sandstorm.
After all, there was ice-storm last week. Now that was a nuisance...
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "I think that's Grand Alchemist. And I see Royal Priest Mullah too. And who are these others...?" The Prince's voice went quiet as they have entered the Hall of Pillars; one of many in the Inner Palace. Each Hall had its primary function, but most could be used as simple gathering places if necessary.
The Prince, flanked by his two soldiers, stopped in front of Aldbaran and Mullah. The two elders bowed deeply, and the latter, with wave of the hand, ordered those eight behind him to do the same.
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) (http://i.imgur.com/QDirBez.png) "May the Angels bless you, Prince Aliberti." The two elders spoke together, and the Prince nodded.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Likewise. Where is my mother? And where is the King? I heard something important is to begin today, so why are they not here? Why it was you who have called for me?"
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "Oh, Prince Aliberti, your Mother, Lady Sharia, is currently in the Grand Court, presiding over the case of the murder of her cousin. As for the King himself, he was heading to the Rose Pavilion the last time I saw him." Prince Aliberti grimaced. Those acquitained with the Court well enough knew what kind of chamber Rosy Pavilion was and just how many young ladies can fit in its beds at once.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "I see. They're busy, then. Why was I called here?"
(http://i.imgur.com/QDirBez.png) "O, Prince Aliberti, these are the people who shall accompany you on the mission to recover the missing pieces of Orb of Eternity!"
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "And that's what will begin today, our beloved Prince. We shall resume the search for the remaining pieces of the Orb. The King himself requested that you lead the effort. I hold a sincere belief that with you leading this noble endeavour, it will surely succeed."
(http://i.imgur.com/QDirBez.png) "Royal Priest is right! But let these young people introduce themselves. We have hand-picked them from all the available mercenaries and reservist soldiers of good standing, courage and skill-"
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Reservists? Mercenaries? Who am I to be guarded by such a group? Why haven't my fa- the King sent, for example, half of the Royal Guard with me? Or at least one fifth. Does he think I would carelessly let out soldiers die? No matter, these people will do. I will show my- the King that I can be victorious no matter who is with me." The Prince turned to the strangers and began to inspect them closely. He didn't say anything when looking over the most of them...
He have stopped by the dark-skinned girl.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "And a girl from Shari-Val." His tone of voice indicated that he wasn't particularily happy about the choice. But of course, every client state was the same - on paper. He couldn't really do anything about it.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Well, don't be afraid to say your names. After all, you will be under my command, for a while..."
//Miranda, Chance, Maribel, Rashida, Irios, Hafiz, Giuseppina and Ayzebel are in!
-
Rashida was unperturbed by the Prince's remarks. Usually he seemed to hardly notice her, and never asked for her name.
(http://i.imgur.com/AxdPT3U.png) "Rashida."
-
Kerr had grimaced slightly and run a hand through his hair at the prince's comment, but stayed quiet through the explanation of what was occurring. Seeing the people that had been assembled, Kerr raised an eyebrow slightly and quietly remarked to his brother,
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"Well, I was going to make some comment about how you better not embarrass me after I got you this position, but it looks like the rest of this group is going to be as inexperienced as you."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Once we're done with this task, Rashida, I will have you back as a tutor for my siblings. My sisters speak highly of you, unless there's another Rashida in this Palace."
-
Rashida nods and bows to show the demanded etiquette of submissiveness towards the Prince's order.
(http://i.imgur.com/AxdPT3U.png) "I hope to serve you well until that time."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Good. Now." The Prince left Rashida alone for now and turned to three others.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "You, you and you." He looked at Maribel, Chance and Hafiz. "You three seem strangely familiar, why?"
-
Maribel gave a bow to the prince.
(http://i.imgur.com/9fdy6nS.png) "I am Maribel Rita, one of the court performers, prince Aliberti."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"Wow, they're really pulling out all the stops for you, sir, aren't they? A tutor, and now a performer? Perhaps we'll get a fortune teller too."
-
The eyes of Ayzebel, flat and lifeless as those of a shark, regarded the prince. She executed a formal flawless bow.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I am Ayzebel Glassria, Liege. I am one of the representatives of the Sect of Glass, here to serve."
-
One of the girls in the group (the one with very fancy red hair and far too much gold) took a breath to ignore the rather hurtful comments the prince had made, before rattling off a rather long introduction with a curtsy, her multitudes of jewelry jingling quietly with the motion.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Ah, your highness! My name is Giuseppina Abategiovanni, daughter of the illustrious gold merchant Feliciano Abategiovanni. I've come to serve under you as one of your guard!"
-
A young man, with strange metal overcoating his eyes, flexed his face when he was addressed, but he immediately took to a knee and introduced himself.
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "I am called Chance of the Nakoris family, your Grace. I am a mage, guard and retainer sent from Kovalia to serve."
-
Irios' bow was rather rigid; he was more than a little nervous directly serving the prince.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"I'm Irios Dias your Highness. Also one of representatives of the Sect of Glass."
-
Aur deflated a little at his brothers comment but perked right back up to attention, albeit continuing the quite conversation between the brothers. If there was one thing he learned in the militia, it was the secret-yet-sacred soldier's art of speaking quietly while looking attentive to whatever the important people are doing.
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "Karr, it'll be fine. Promise. I wouldn't disrespect the pull you used to get me here, I remind myself of the favor you did me."
(http://i.imgur.com/3zLpA1M.png) There was a few moments of silence. "Although, Uh, I have to say I'm surprised your hair doesn't embarrass you more. I thought you had been pranked by a mage or something when I first saw you."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/gFB8Xh3.png)"Why'd I have to make that stupid bet..."
He sighed, and gave a slight shrug.
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"It wasn't my favorite thing in the world at first, but you get used to it pretty quick. Besides, if I act like it embarrasses me, it'll just draw even more attention."
And the prince likes it so I can't care too much...
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "If you like I can help you pick out a helmet or something. Maybe a coif... ...I guess that would mean you'd look embarrassed by it though. Er, never mind the offer then."
(http://i.imgur.com/3zLpA1M.png) "What in the world was the bet even about?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/879citG.png)"It's... Nothing important."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/DYQys4n.png) "My name is Miranda of tribe Everrun, here to protect you on your journey your uh, your highness."
She paused for a second before remembering to give a bow.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/oUlC7jG.png) If it wasn't for his training, Aurelian would of laughed. "Well, now you got me curious."
-
Hafiz was quite surprised he was addressed before his introduction. Well, the prince seemed a straightforward type, as rumored. That could be worked with.
(http://i.imgur.com/VXtTb7d.png) "I am Hafiz Ajam, Your Highness." He bowed.
(http://i.imgur.com/tNC7xsp.png) "I've served the Empire as a scout for a good time, though I was most recently assigned to aid the capital's militia. I suppose you could consider me a 'Reservist'."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Aah, that explains a lot." He looked at each of his new companions once again, giving Hafiz a longer glance, and then he turned toward Grand Alchemist and Royal Priest.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "That would be all for formalities. Onto the task, please." The two elders bowed gently, before the Royal Priest began to speak.
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "As you all know, the great and infallible Zorostrians have been scouring the world in search for pieces of the Orb of Eternity for eight centuries. Up till fifteen years ago, when our scriers and mystics determined that there are no pieces left on the continent."
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Despite the New Moon getting closer. Now the search is being resumed, why? Have the mages of previous generation lied to us?"
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "No, Prince... and yes, a bit. They were right that there are no pieces on this world, but they weren't right that there are no pieces left at all." Prince blinked slowly.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "I'm lost, Mullah."
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "What I mean is that there are some pieces left in other worlds. Continents we have not discovered. Planar dimensions of magic that no one ventured to. Worlds we do not know about yet. Maybe in the stars, or maybe deep underground, or maybe in some other universe or celestial sphere that our small world is enclosed in? Esoteric scrying brought us an answer; we need to send someone to these other worlds, inhabited by other people and creatures beyond reasoning, and recover the remaining pieces. It took us fifteen years to come up with devices and rituals and incantations that could transport someone from this world, to the worlds which contain the fragments."
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "That's... that's fairly exciting thought. No wonder my- King have decided to send someone like me. So, how shall we accomplish this all? This... miraculous travel to other places?"
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "The transporation magic have been always a thing. I, together with many scholars, and members of the Orders of Mystus, just had to extesively improve it."
(http://i.imgur.com/QDirBez.png) "And the Alchemists under my watchful eye have created two artifacts that shall aid you in your search." The humble Grand Alchemist stepped up to the Prince and handed him two items: a silvery mirror with black glass, and a small brooch with closed rose made of gold.
(http://i.imgur.com/QDirBez.png) "Listen carefully, Prince, and listen you all just in case. This mirror, when rubbed, shall point you to the crystal, and with it help our ritual shall bring you to the proximity of the fragment in the first place. The mirror will not tell you the distance or what obstacles lie between you and the fragment, so be prepared. The brooch has a small button on it." The Prince turned the brooch upside down, and indeed, there was a button near the base of the rose.
(http://i.imgur.com/QDirBez.png) "When you press the button, the rose will open and the mechanism of brass and magical gemstones shall start its work. Then you must have one of your mages in your group to energize it. It shall act like a beacon for our scries and mystics, who shall then perform the ritual of return and bring you back. When the rose is closed, the brooch will use its inner magics to translate your speech to that of the locals." The Prince pocketed the mirror and put the brooch onto his left wrist.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "I will be feeling better not knowing the dangers of a mishap or wrongly cast spell. Mullah, Aldbaran, cast your magic. We're all-" The Prince glanced at his companions, his retainers.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "We're all ready to go." The two elders looked at each other, and then Royal Priest clapped his hands twice.
A bunch of magicians, all robed and hooded, entered the hall. Or maybe they were waiting in the shadows all the time. Together with Royal Priest, they formed a circle around Prince and his group, while Grand Alchemist stepped away from the ritual.
(http://i.imgur.com/QDirBez.png) "Good luck, Prince Aliberti!" Grand Alchemist spoke with cheerful voice. Prince Aliberti smiled, while Mullah and his magicians began to chant in unison.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "I'm Zorostrian Prince, and I have all confidence in myself and my retainers, Grand Alchemist! I don't need-" Bright yellow-pink-red-blue-white light flooded the eyes of everyone, before dissipating as quickly as it have appeared...
~&~ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSKsixYOdOQ)
Powerful winds blasted white sand and black dust onto Prince Aliberti and his retainers. They were now standing amidst ruins. Ruins of once great and advanced city; large stone buildings were encased in glass or had metal wires and pillars protruding from them. Magnificent shiny towers climbed into the skies, far beyond any Zorostrian watchtower ever did, their walls charred and crumbled from once fierce conflict. Black road of dull material stretched in the west, thinly covered with sand, with small craters interrupting it's almost ideally straight course.
(http://i.imgur.com/BddvIrs.png) "...luck." The Prince lifted his gauntlet-covered hand to protect his eyes from a gust of wind and dust. He then looked at the strange buildings of alien architecture.
(http://i.imgur.com/BddvIrs.png) "I did not expect THAT kind of... bizarre." Suddenly, a pile of rubble moved and a ragged, tough looking man, quite hairy, looked at the Prince. The stranger was standing in midst of a small building that once maybe was a house.
(http://i.imgur.com/BddvIrs.png) "Oh, uh, locals. Let's try. Greetings! Do not be afraid! I am- wait!" Prince looked at the man who for some strange reason began to run away!
"Boooooss! Boooss, someone's on our turf! Fancy guys! I think dem from Chicago!!" Suddenly, Prince and his entourage had a whole bunch of shaggy, unwashed and rather angry strangers staring at them.
(http://i.imgur.com/ofgsfC2.png) "I ain't got time for dis again! Gett'em chopped up and loot their corpses! Is da last time they get on our turf like dat!" The gang of strangers prepared for combat.
(http://i.imgur.com/BddvIrs.png) "Well, I don't know what they're talking about to be honest, but I understand they're not friendly. Fight time it is!"

(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Wait, before we begin, a question about-"
Chance didn't get an opportunity to voice further, as the overflow of magic surrounded him and the others. By the time they arrived, Chance was fumbling around, reeling.
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "Aurrgh, still... spinning. I may be unwell." The mage dropped to his knees, apparently having trouble keeping his balance.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"... Right. Magic. Ok. Ugh. Your Highness, stay close to the rest of us, ok? And... stay safe. You're more important than us, you need to make it out of all of this alive."
Kerr to 7-9
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Irios, stay close. You're not allowed to get hurt."
6, 9
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hUnY1ad.png) "Oh. Oh wow." Soldier bearing faded away from the young knight as he looked around in wonder and awe. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
(http://i.imgur.com/f5OCIB7.png) "This. Is. Awesome!" He couldn't help but exclaim quietly to himself. They're in another world! Jeeze, he wanted to see beyond Miccah, but this? Its amazing.
...Right! There's a fight and he should do something about that. Aur rolled his shoulder as he felt the intensive burst of magic around them fade away, making his whole body tingle.
Aur moved to catch up with his brother, taking a stand by his side at (6,8)
-
Giuseppina swayed on her feet with the semi-unexpected transportation, looking up stunned at the whole... well... everything.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Wh-whoooaaaa..."
She blindly followed the group, still looking up at all the strange towers.
6, 7
-
(http://i.imgur.com/9fdy6nS.png) "Dear me, I've never expected anything like this to occur... It's like a whole new world.. If the world was sand and ruins."
Maribel looked around, seeing more of those unwashed thugs, along with a fairly cracked wall. She didn't really want to get too close to them, who knows what they'll do.
(http://i.imgur.com/9fdy6nS.png) "Hm, if we want to avoid those thugs, this wall seems fairly unstable.."
-
Rashida was half asleep during that meeting, a rather common state to be fair, where she was expecting to be dragged along a dull journey like those she had heard about while studying under the Order where seeker after seeker had failed to find the holy pieces of the Eternity Orb only to return with naught but clay pots and other objects created during the era of Angels. Thus, she didn't start to catch up until a moment before their party was flung into another universe.
(http://i.imgur.com/DCSieCK.png) After momentarily blinking in surprise. "This is... different."
She looks around the battlefield and makes a decision fairly quickly however.
(http://i.imgur.com/AxdPT3U.png) "I'll make another path."
As she wanders east, her eyes begin to glow with dark magical energy as she channels the power of her tome into a bolt of energy pointed at the cracked wall.
(http://i.imgur.com/bdkf3N0.gif) "..."
Move 6-12. Black Fire the cracked wall at 8-12.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Ready to show off your skills, little brother?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "More than ready. You know, I hear attacking before speaking leads to an unhealthy and short life, most unfortunate, isn't it? We should educate 'em." Aur gave a bad joke as he held his spear at ready and aimed towards the nearest foe.
-
Faced with quite a bit of sand blowing into his face and hair, Irios decided to pull up his hood.
(http://i.imgur.com/vEPZuUi.gif)"R-Right," Irios stuttered, still a bit thrown about by the world hopping. "And if you get hurt, I'll heal you."
Chance's condition was not unnoticed by Irios and the pacifist priest got closer to see if he needed help.
(http://i.imgur.com/YyC3R3t.gif)"Whoa, are you okay, uh... Chance, I think it is?"
7,10
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"Ha, yeah. Lets do this. It'll be good to work beside you."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/iBFQYlx.png) "Ah-ah... what is... nobody told me that we would be.... wha!?"
Calm down, inner peace... inner peace...
5,13
-
Chance slowly got to his feet.
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "Urgh... I think I will be fine. Just, the sudden rush of magic does not do well for me. Thank you for your concern, though."
Straightening his back out, he pulled out a fire tome and drew his fingers across it, making some sparks.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Here, I can work on that wall as well."
Chance to the slushee shop 7,11. Blast ye wall.
-
Ayzebel could not help but look around - scanning for anything useful, enemies - and take in the alien ruins they were suddenly in.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "So this is a different world... no wonder they are lost, without the light of the Angels."
-
Rashida slowly turned her head to glance at one of the bandits after finishing her spell.
(http://i.imgur.com/AxdPT3U.png) "They could also probably use knowledge of baths."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Wouldn't be anywhere else. Brothers Wolfgar, saving the world."
-
A faint smile pulled at the edge of her mouth. It seemed almost unnatural.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Then let us bring the light of illumination to them... as we cannot do so with hygiene."
-
Rashida shrugs at Ayzebel's proclamation and waited to see if the wall fell down from her and Chance's magical attacks. The zealots of the Sect of Glass always seemed to find things to be fervent about killing. But it did remind her about her companion's assistance.
(http://i.imgur.com/DCSieCK.png) "Thanks... Your Fire is good." She conjured a dark flame from her Black Fire tome and smiled at him, though she wasn't sure if Chance found it as amusing as she did that they were using fire and its shadow counterpart towards the same purpose. Most people didn't seem to share her appreciation of opposites complementing each other.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/OJnNmO4.gif): "Thank you." Chance nodded as he clapped his fire tome shut
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "I cannot pinpoint exactly right now, but was that... First Druidic Sacrament: Black Fire you just used?"
-
Rashida nodded a silent affirmative to the mage's inquiry while putting the tome back into its closed state.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/vEPZuUi.gif)"Do you mean like the light of light magic or a healing staff, Ayzebel?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/BddvIrs.png) "You're heading in wrong direction. That band of three there is our immediate concern and the hole in the wall could be a chokepoint. Don't run into the fray with far enemies before you deal with those close to you! But anyways, don't worry, I shall take on these three myself."

All of the explanations given by the elders was a bit much to take at once, and seemed a bit lacking. Did they know what kind of worlds they would find out there?
(http://i.imgur.com/tNC7xsp.png) "Well, excuse me, good sirs-" No quicker could Hafiz finish his line as his eyes were bombarded with colors bright enough to wish they went out of fashion.
And then sand, lots of sand, and a completely alien landspace. Some sort of coal covered the landscape, and everything smelled of a peculiar mold.
(http://i.imgur.com/44odzSw.png) "..."
Hafiz didn't take that well to being snatched out of his plane of existence, as it turned out. While the others coped with it, he had sort of frozen in place. It tooks moments to realize he'd be left behind while the others were trying to protect themselves.
(http://i.imgur.com/3BUkyS9.png) "Right... Scout's code, scout's code... 'a scout successful is the one that won't let fear catch them.'" He repeated the words a few times until he could steel himself to look at the landscape again.
(http://i.imgur.com/VXtTb7d.png) "Ah, yes! To help the Prince! A chokepoint, yes?" Putting on the most forced smile in his life, Hafiz tried to do the task that seemed less demanding at his point (lest his poor consciousness be strained again). ...Except for the part plenty people crowded the front of the wall. No matter, he'd provide support for the prince, then. Definitely. He was basically going to hold a chokepoint too. Same difference.
Hafiz moves to 4,14.

Still, she didn't want to rush into the arms of the enemy. She wasn't so great and a stand up fight - she was small of frame
She looked at her the healer.

Irios laughed nervously.
(http://i.imgur.com/vEPZuUi.gif)"Hahaha... Of course. Yo- er... We thoroughly eliminate them."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/9fdy6nS.png) "Well, it's not their fault if nobody told them about the angels. Arche would probably give these people a chance, but seeing as how they're not giving us a chance to even talk, I think its worthless to try."

Rashida grunted as the axe struck her and felt woozy. Oh.. blood.. and pain. Yeah, that was probably going to happen on this journey.. She nearly toppled over but managed to catch herself with a leg even in her daze and gave what was probably a not very impressive retort to the bandit.
(http://i.imgur.com/VOaH57P.png) "G-go.. away" She slunk back towards the majority of the group and released another bolt at the bandit.
Move 6,11 and more Black Fire of bandits - with hopefully more success
-
(http://i.imgur.com/iBFQYlx.png) "Get behind me-" and then the prince killed a bandit in a single blow"...or or you could just do that."
Giving up on trying to keep sense of what was happening, she ran up to one of the bandits and punched him in the face with light exploding from her fist.

Rashida tried harder and met with success! And then Miranda punched the raider out.

(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Are you alright? Please be careful." Chance directed at Rashida before moving up north.
Chance to 7,9. Blast ye bandito.

Rashida gave Chance a weak thumbs up.
(http://i.imgur.com/VOaH57P.png) "I'm fine." Even as the wobbling and head wound indicated otherwise.
-
6,9, Perform Chance.
(http://i.imgur.com/9fdy6nS.png) "Chance, I hope that you can benefit from this performance."
-
Chance nodded, but quickly shouted over to Irios.
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "You are a healer, correct? If you would kindly..?"
Looking over to Maribel, Chance cocked his head.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "What... is that? I can tell there's some magical effect going on but, it doesn't seem malevolent, nor does it match the signature of a healing staff..." After pondering a moment, he felt an invigoration come over him, and his next move became clear.
Blast dat bandito again!
-
Aurelian took two steps to follow his brother but stopped when he saw the enemies fall like wheat to a scythe. Pivoting back towards the two at the front, he held his spear at ready, looking for a weakness. Chance readily supplied it.
(http://i.imgur.com/hUnY1ad.png) (http://pastebin.com/siAXL4aQ) "Hey--uh... Guis.. Guisarme--You!" The knight gestured at the axewoman. "Give me a hand real quick with this guy!" He completed the gesture by pointing at the wounded axeman [Raider C].
After Giuseppina's action, Aur move to (6,7) and stab C if he's still alive, otherwise stab B!
-
Maribel gave a small smile, and cocked her head slightly.
(http://i.imgur.com/7NNKYmr.png) "Mhm, lets just say that I can be of assistance with a couple of tricks learnt from Arche's order." Her voice was proud, and she nodded while speaking.
(http://i.imgur.com/9fdy6nS.png) "Trust me, I know how to be useful, even in situations like these."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "It may, however, be useful to learn how to kill. Do you have any skill at arms?"
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"O-oh, yeah, sure!"
Still pretty tripped out, she went to apply AXE.
hold, choppity doppity tha C guy.

With the sudden burst of combat, and death of a few locals, Irios felt more out of it than the world hopping had left him. He just kinda stood there, spacing out, until Chance spoke to him and snapped him out of it.
(http://i.imgur.com/vEPZuUi.gif)"A-ah, yes, of course. On my way..."
Irios moves to 6,10 and heals Rashida.

Taking the hit to his lower torso, Hafiz grunted, and clutched his abdomen. It was not a good time to show weakness, however, with a man intent to end him so close. Hafiz quickly scattered a good few steps back, mustering strength to draw the bow again. No words, all reaction time and grunts of pain.

Aur grunted as his blow was sent aside and instead took an axe himself. The wound didn't phase the man much, Aur paying the wound no mind, and moved to pursue until Prince Aliberti slew the man in two quick strokes. Aliberti wasn't a prince for nothing.
(http://i.imgur.com/oXKppx4.png) "Thank you for the assistance, Prince Aliberti." The young knight happily clanked as he gave a quick salute, his gauntlet-clad fist rapping against his breastplate.

Thankfully, the problematic brute was dealt with, giving Hafiz some breathing room --or coughing room. Messy, bloody, coughing room.
(http://i.imgur.com/GedhtKW.png) "Ugh, thank you, Ma'ams."
He turned to glance the healer, but it seemed there was another man in need of attendance.
(http://i.imgur.com/GedhtKW.png) "Ah, aid him first, I can probably do with just some medicine. Ghrk."
Blood did taste awful.
-
Having caught his breath, the knight-in-training moved next to the wounded mage (7,8) and helped steady him.
(http://i.imgur.com/c3cmSYV.gif) "Hey, you okay mage? Uh... Chance, was it? The healer will be here soon to help, he can get you back on your feet better than I could."
(http://i.imgur.com/OI0Y3SM.gif) "...Sorry for letting him get past me. I should of been the one to take that blow." He couldn't help but feel partially responsible.
-
Chance hunched a little, but he was still very much steady.
(http://i.imgur.com/FwkQMpG.gif): "I will be fine. I'm quite accustomed to injury by now, I have a couple tricks to mitigate the worst of it."
His face flexed as he looked at Aur, then he glanced over to Kerr.
(http://i.imgur.com/FwkQMpG.gif): "So many patterns I haven't seen before... This day is getting ever stranger."
Chance to 8,8.
-
Giuseppina gaped at the wounded knight-- specifically, what was going on with the wound, and moving closer:
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Are... are you glowing?"
7, 7
-
(http://i.imgur.com/vEPZuUi.gif)"If you insist," he told the scout.
(http://i.imgur.com/vEPZuUi.gif)"Hmm, my abilities are more necessary than I thought" Irios mused to himself as he walked over to and then healed Chance.
Irios to 8,9, heal Chance.
-
Maribel couldn't help but notice the wounds that were apparently glowing with some kind of magic, on Aur's face. At least the knight himself wasn't freaking out over it, so she decided to not bring it up for now. Noticing the priest, she nodded at him, and began to perform.
7,9, Dance the priest.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/pjLSKSl.gif) "Patterns?" The knight quizzed the mage, but was drawn from his question when addressed by the axewoman.
(http://i.imgur.com/OI0Y3SM.gif) "Huh? I'm wha--OH! That. Uh... Right, that does that... Uhm. Its nothing to worry about, honest, it'll go away once it heals."
-
Kerr to 7-14

Irios shrugged back at the dancer; he couldn't exactly heal Aurelian with the man surrounded on all sides.
Hold.

Rashida is infused with a wave of energy next to Maribel's movements and finds herself involuntarily dancing (poorly) along to its rhythm with her usual deadpan expression.

Aurelian hurried off to (7,8) and thrust at the Ruin Hunter!

Rashida hurriedly walks north to join the battle after admiring Miranda's unique magical martial arts.

Creeeeaaak!
Inside the chest, there was a pile of old, moldy cloth. A bunch of crude javelins was hidden underneath, their heads made from sharp rock.

Then Aurelian stabbed the knife-wielder, and got stabbed in response... the knife tinked against Aurelian's armor quite lovingly.

~~Prologue Complete!~~
(http://i.imgur.com/BddvIrs.png) "Great. Now to check for the shard. The spell wouldn't put us in front of his thug gang for nothing, right?" The Prince knelt in front of the corpse and began checking through the pockets.
-
Kerr visibly relaxed as the battle ended with the prince on his feet.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Hey, healer, uh Irios? We could use some help up here, one of the mages took a couple of axes to the face."
Walking over to the prince, he grinned.
(http://i.imgur.com/lzfpry6.png)"Well that went well. Looks like the new people will be able to keep up just fine. Any luck finding the shard?"
-
With the battle taken care of, and Chance being tended to, Rashida begins examining the odd ruins around them, writing field notes and trying to remove anything that looked to be an interesting artifact of this alien culture for historical posterity.
(http://i.imgur.com/cidDY5N.png) "Neat."
-
Chance, faceplanted on the ground, only groaned.
"Rgh... Ow."
-
By the time Aur clunked up to the main event, the bandit leader was already eating sand.
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Drat."
The knight-in-training sighed to himself and moved up further into the strange ruin after seeing his brother has the prince looked after, inspecting the odd metallic... Vines? Rods, he guesses. How peculiar, what do they do he wonders. He gave one a rap with a gauntlet-clad hand.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/BddvIrs.png) "None. This boar didn't have it." Prince Aliberti stood up and pulled out the mirror. Then he rubbed it. The small glow on it pointed toward the corpse.
(http://i.imgur.com/BddvIrs.png) "This is very- oh." He looked at the corridor that the bandit leader was guarding, stepped over the corpse and then rubbed the mirror again.
(http://i.imgur.com/BddvIrs.png) "Oh, the shard is somewhere there." Prince spoke, looking at the ruins of a domed building with two huge chimneys, wider on top and the base and thinner in the middle. The Prince looked at the corpse again.
(http://i.imgur.com/BddvIrs.png) "Hmph, he was probably a bandit or some other thug... we might've ended the worries of some peasants with his death, right, Kerr?"
-
Ayzebel whistled as she wiped blood off her knife.
(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "Heheh. That was fun."
She looked up as the Prince spoke.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "What strange architecture. Well, there is no sense delaying."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/lzfpry6.png)"That's right sir."
Taking a step closer, the soldier placed a hand on the prince's arm and quietly said to him,
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Ali... Sir... I know that you feel the need to hurry with this and obviously we do need to keep a steady pace but... You're injured. We can take a few moments. Rest, while Irios heals those who need it. It wouldn't do to have you rush around only to get killed because you ignored a wound."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/BddvIrs.png) "And I thought you're not the one to be worried about such things? But fine." The Prince sat down on a flat piece of rubble.
Rashida broke off a bit of pipe. Pipe that had tiny pipes inside it. All of different colors. The pipes themselves hid tiny copper wires inside, apparently. Quite peculiar kind of pipe, not to mention it was rather floppy and soft.
Then, the wall that the pipe was previously attached to leaned to the side and crumbled right into the side of the corridor Prince and others were resting at. A big cloud of dust covered everything and everyone, except Rashida.
Prince stood up and coughed up a little, brushing his cape from the dust.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Why."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/gFB8Xh3.png)"Ugh, well if I don't worry about you, who will? It's clear you won--
And then the wall collapsed on them. Coughing, Kerr waved his hand in front of his face, trying to clear some of the dust away.
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"Maybe lets not tear this place down around ourselves."
-
Rashida blinks for a moment in confusion before turning to the prince and holding up her prize triumphantly.
(http://i.imgur.com/xwVAKeP.png) "Artifacts."
-
Prince looked at Rashida.
(http://i.imgur.com/BddvIrs.png) "For a moment there you looked like my younger sister Irmina after pulling a dead mouse from under a wardrobe..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Hey, healer, uh Irios? We could use some help up here, one of the mages took a couple of axes to the face."
(http://i.imgur.com/vEPZuUi.gif)"Already there, Rainbow," Irios said as his staff began to glow and Chance's wounds healed.
When the dust armageddon happened he tried to duck into his cloak and pull the hood all the way down.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Oh, I don't know sir. The way she caused destruction reminds me a bit of you when we were younger. Somehow I'm remembering a whole wing of the palace needing to be shut down because you somehow caused three of the pillars to collapse. What was your excuse then? Something about climbing practice?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/BddvIrs.png) "You forget I got Asha's leg broken with that and she couldn't walk for half a year. It's not a laughing manner, Kerr." The Prince grumbled quietly.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"I seem to remember her sticking that out a bit longer than needed to make you feel even worse but yes sir."
-
Relieved that the mission was a success with mostly minor wounds, Hafiz sighed and walked towards the group of people forming to rest.
(http://i.imgur.com/VXtTb7d.png) "Well then, all's well that ends well. Now, what is our--"
And then a wall crumbled and spread dust everywhere.
(http://i.imgur.com/44odzSw.png) "...Whoah."
With some reluctance, he approached Rashida, whom seemed engrossed in... whatever she was doing.
(http://i.imgur.com/tNC7xsp.png) "Are you okay, ma'am? You should take care, one of these walls could fall to the wrong side and do harm to you."
It was when she held the pipe-thingy proudly that the dots connected.
(http://i.imgur.com/Q9IzXpH.png) "Are... you planning to take these back?" A clever move, to be sure, but Hafiz had his doubts in how much they could learn from a ruined civilization.
-
Rashida shrugged at the comparison between her and Princess Irmina's tendencies. These things weren't the clay pots and bowls she was used to when she was learning about Zorastrian history. These were new experiences that could illuminate more about the relation between their world's Creator (or at least his Orb) and the place they arrived at.
Her curiosity was then interrupted by Hafiz's concern for her safety.
(http://i.imgur.com/DCSieCK.png) Nodding her head at both questions "I am safe and yes I do." She held it up for Hafiz to see more closely, as if he would be convinced of its worth by proximity.
(http://i.imgur.com/xwVAKeP.png) "It's a... thing! And it will help me catalog our journey with physical evidence." At this point, Rashida was more interested by its unexplained nature than anything else. The opportunity was enough to pull her out of her usual daze.
-
With a slight grin, Kerr whispered to the prince as he looked over at Hafiz and Rashida,
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"At least we got a cute one with the party."
-
Maribel gave a small glance to Azybel, before the dustcloud struck. Coughing a while after it had finished, she patted down her clothes, and tsk'd at Rashida.
(http://i.imgur.com/hdKwP6G.png) "while I do understand that collecting new.. old... Artifacts would probably be nice, I don't want my clothing to get extremely dusty, it just doesn't suit me, you know?" Maribel paused in thought for a couple of moments afterwards, before turning back to look at Rashida, and giving a small shrug.
-
Aur jumped when the wall collapsed, the knight-in-training almost bashing into the pipes he himself was inspecting, his entire backside and hair now coated with dust and sand.
(http://i.imgur.com/hUnY1ad.png) "Arugh." The man groaned as he tried to wipe it off his back. With his movement though, there came a soft-but-peculiar grating noise and an uncomfortable sensation as his plates shifted, grinding the dust and sand that got caked in the joints.
(http://i.imgur.com/mzRMGyr.png) "I... I have to put up with this until I change and clean my armor now." The man sighed and slumped, which caused even more noise.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "What did you recover, miss Rashida?" Ayzebel coughed delicately as the dust finally tickled her lungs.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xwVAKeP.png) "No idea."
Satisfied with her prize and unsure of how much time she had left before the party moved on, she stuffs the object in her backpack and sits near the bandit's remains with a note book to begin writing about the first battle and draw a serviceable sketch of the ruins, especially the dome, and of their opponents.
-
Giuseppina was largely heedless of the dust cloud she had managed to avoid by dint of being lost in thought and falling a short ways behind the group, and she approached Aur with a rather less-than-happy expression on her face, nervously playing with her fingers:
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Umm... never caught your name but... I'm sorry for the whole face thing earlier, I mean... I didn't mean to insult you or anything, I've been kinda weirded out by all that's going on but not your face, that's not what I meant, and so I didn't really register what was going on for a moment, and yeah I'm sorry I hope I didn't make you feel strange or anything."
-
Aur turned around in surprise, the man flinching at the grating noise from the sudden movement.
(http://i.imgur.com/f5OCIB7.png) "Oh, don't worry about it, its fine, its fine. I overreacted is all." Aurelian wanted to chuckle at the situation, but seeing her expression Aur decided otherwise.
(http://i.imgur.com/MIFFo54.png) The knight-in-training glanced around before explaining quietly. "Its... A thing. I'm frankly not too sure what's up with it either. Just that when I get hurt, it glows and heals in about a minute or so, more depending on how bad it is. Works wonders when sparring though, hard to get tired when your bruises mend as fast as you get them."
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "Hmm... How about this, we start fresh maybe? Put the wyvern in the stable." The red haired youth extended a gauntlet-clad hand (his arm grating with sand between metal, causing Aur's eye to twitch slightly). "Name's Aur Wolfgar, ex-newguy. Well, Aurelian to be truthful. Grandfather's name."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/44odzSw.png) "That... sure is a thing."
Hafiz had no idea how they'd derive anything out of that contraption, but then again, he wasn't a researcher, just a scout.
(http://i.imgur.com/MyKdy9o.png) "Well, perhaps that dome will be in a better condition to have... things taken from it, take your time."
And with a nod, Hafiz made way to where the prince now rested.
(http://i.imgur.com/tNC7xsp.png) "Are you fine, Your Highness? You took a few strong hits. How much more time should the group take a break for?"
-
This seemed to, after a moment, perk Giuseppina up.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Oh... in that case...
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"Nice to meet you, Aurelian! I'm Giuseppina Abategiovanni, myself! Gold merchant's daughter, and his name is Feliciano Abategovanni-- we, uh, we have a history of pretty fanciful names."

(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Likewise, uh, forgive me if I butcher this, I'm used to Miccah names. Giuseppena Abaitgiovanne?" The knight-in-training offered his most apologetic expression as he tried to muddle his way through the fancy name.
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "Do you mind if I call you Seppena? Or Sep?" His arm stayed extended for a few moments before he wondered if she was unfamiliar with the expression, or if it was some social faux-pas? He brought the arm back to his side, hoping he didn't offend.
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"Giuseppina, Abategiovanni, but close!"
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"And, uh, I'd prefer not to be called Seppina or Sep but I do have a long name and I can't really stop you, so..."
Giuseppina, somewhat late, began to move her hand for the handshake but too late, as he'd already moved it back. She moved her arm back herself, trying to pretend she hadn't moved it in the first place.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hUnY1ad.png) Aur tried again, saying the word slowly and stressing the corrections to get it solidly in his mind. "Giusepp-I-na Aba-TE-giovann-I." Feeling confident he has it right this time, he nodded at the axewoman.
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Oh, I won't call you that if you don't like it. I'm curious though, do you have a nickname? In Miccah, long names aren't uncommon, but they're often shortened. I suppose it isn't like that in other places though?" Aurelian guessed, not entirely sure.
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"Oh! Well, I did live on a merchant ship so I've been a lot of places besides the East Coast, but it kinda tends to depend on the person? Like, Dad is fine with being called Felis, or Felix or whatever, but... I don't really like nicknames myself?"
-
Kerr had been listening in to the two talking and finally leaned over and called out to his brother and Sepi,
(http://i.imgur.com/lzfpry6.png)"You two don't have to be so stiff around each other. Geeze, pretty sure you could cut the awkwardness with a knife right now. We're companions, relax."
-
Giuseppina jumped a little at the intrusion of Aurelian's brother, before she blushed embarrassedly and began to stammer.
(http://i57.tinypic.com/2r1zorl.png):"O-oh! U-um..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Ah, okay, I'll just call yo--" But it was too late, there was no saving the two from the attack of the older brother.
(http://i.imgur.com/mzRMGyr.png) "Keeeeerr." Even though years have passed, Aur still groans as he did before when his older brother embarrasses him.
(http://i.imgur.com/f5OCIB7.png) "I was sawing away at that awkwardness, Kerr. Saw. Ing." The knight pantomimed cutting through something with the edge of his hand. "I just... Sorta realized we never actually introduced ourselves to the new people."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/BddvIrs.png) "We should continue." Prince spoke merely five minutes into the rest.
(http://i.imgur.com/BddvIrs.png) "This way." He led the group through the corridor. Soon, the patchy roof was a singular, metallic surface with not a single hole in it. The glass windows, mostly broken, were high on the walls, near the ceiling, illuminating the place well.
They've arrived at a junction. Prince Aliberti looked at big, flowing, white writing done with chalk, it seemed, or something similar. The Prince stared intently at the alien, bizzarre script for a while.
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "The artifact doesn't seem to work on written words. A pity, I wonder what it says... probably just a welcoming sign or directions, maybe?" He shrugged, giving one last glance at the writing, that the natives could easily decipher as 'SUCK MY ASS NIGGA~!'. He pulled out the mirror and rubbed it, and the golden shine pointed toward the left. Prince followed, taking everyone with him.
Finally, they've arrived at a rather large room...
~~Chapter 1: Welcome to Springfield~~
Deep inside the Federal America Nuclear Munitions Centre #5, brave aliens - visitors from different universe - have closed upon a small piece of their godly artifact. First, however, they had to deal with the natives once more... or rather, whatever the natives became!
A bunch of ghoulish, scarred, partially melted humanoids stared at Prince Aliberti and his entourage. The creatures then began to growl and hiss, as if trying to scare off the intruders.
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "What are these? Undead?" He asked no one in particular, unsure who in the group might have any knowledge in that category of dark magic.
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Nuh?? Are they... evil spirits?!"
-
Holding his head as if nursing a headache, Chance looked over the ghoul-like humanoids. His face seemed to flex.
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "They are not giving off a signature of any magic I know... They are definitely radiating something though... Like a more significant amount of the background energy I have seen since coming here."
-
Aur watched the... Things warily as he positioned himself in front of his lesser armored allies.
(http://i.imgur.com/MIFFo54.png) "Uhm... Hello? We mean no harm?" The knight-in-training wasn't sure what exactly he was trying to accomplish.
-
"WAAAOOOOH!!" The ghoulish creatures screamed and shambled toward the group.
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "There goes diplomacy. I hope they can get killed as easily as humans. Keep your eyes open for the shard! The mirror's glow was quite intense last time I checked. Remember, it can be in a piece of jewellery or a single crystal in a pile of dust, or a big chunk laying around."

(http://i.imgur.com/tNC7xsp.png) "More alive than dead... to be fair, this sound more horrifying."
To imply that no arcane magic was at work there meant these people... whatever they were, were suffering alive. And smelled. And constantly grunted in pain. It was nauseating to look at.
(http://i.imgur.com/3BUkyS9.png) "...I agree. The less time we spend here, the better."
Hafiz to (10,16) fire an arrow at Ghoul G.
-
Well, this isn't good. The knight-in-training held his spear towards the two enemies next to him, taking a few false jabs at them to try and keep them at bay. Their claws cleaved right through his armor! He needs an opening, something. He saw it when Hafiz shot an arrow.
Stab Ghoul G!

Aur grumbled as he saw everyone wheel around and does likewise. Times like this, he starts to regret his heavy armor.
Aurelian moves to 11,18

Injured, but having given as good as she'd got, Ayzebel passed by the others, holding one of the spider's eyes, dangling from a grisly cord.

She began to scrape at the sticky goo strands covering her.

-
Giuseppina saw the flow. Of people, and visibly almost gave herself whiplash with how fast she whirled around and began reverseing direction.
7, 15
-
Maribel quickly turned away from the web-covered, eye-holding Ayzebel, she almost immediately noticed Giuseppina whirling around. Was she also enamored with her dancing? Either way, she had an axe, and would probably deal with the spiders better than Maribel herself.
(http://i.imgur.com/hdKwP6G.png) "Here, y-you'd probably fare better against those spiders than me."

Chance readied another fireball, about to lace it through the stonework to the spider on the other side. That is, until Maribel stood exactly where he needed to be. Scratching the back of his head, he just moved past everyone else.

Irios mumbled as he tried to help Azyebel with the web removal, not really doing more than she'd been able to do herself. with a more than audible sigh he wiped his hands on his cloak.
(http://i.imgur.com/vEPZuUi.gif)"You're right about that, maybe it'd be best to let them come off by moving around?"
His hands now wiped off, as best they could be anyway, he grabbed his staff and went of to heal the brother of 'my wounds heal by themselves' guy.

(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Miss Maribel. A dance, please."
4, 16
-
(http://i.imgur.com/9fdy6nS.png) "Ah, certainly Ayzebel, it is the least I can do for someone who helped take care of those dreadful spiders." Maribel replied with a small smile, seemingly more relaxed once the spiders were gone.
Once Rainbow hair moves, 4-17. Dance Ayzebel.
-
Ayz nodded in thanks and moved to the chest, flicking out her lockpicks. A brief moment of finesse and...
4, 14, open chest
-
Raising an eyebrow, Kerr grinned. Walking over to where the prince was standing, he wiped off a bit of the web and rubbed it onto the prince's face with a slight smirk.
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Ha, I see what you mean. You look pretty funny like that too."

(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "Not really." Prince scoffed, wiping his cheek with his shirt's sleeve.
Crreeak!
Ayzebel found a tube-like canister of about two feet length, with it's lid un-openable, as if the metal was seared and melted to ensure that.
It was incredibly heavy; the metal it was made off was certainly lead. However, something even heavier must be inside as even the lead couldn't weigh so much. It will be a burden to carry it around in combat, that's for sure.
The container gave a tingle of warmth when held, too. Truly strange.
Ayzebel gets Warm Metal Tube!

[Aur is currently on space 8,18 on the map, dictated by Lord Hat Kat, so working from there]

Chance to 6,16.

Ayzebel almost staggered as she picked up the cylinder.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "It's warm... and heavy."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hdKwP6G.png) "Ah, Ayzebel..!" Maribel took a step forwards as Ayzebel almost staggered. She gave a small frown, noticing the weight of the tube and its effects on Ayzebel's posture.
(http://i.imgur.com/9fdy6nS.png) "Well, hand it to me then, I can plainly see that its affecting your stance. I'll be fine, even if it's that heavy, I know a couple of dancing styles that won't require me to do fast and fine footwork."
-
Ayz held it awkwardly in her arms, having no place to put it.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "If so, that would be very helpful, miss. I don't think I'd be able to fight well carrying this."

Irios sighed at the Rainbow head's actions but nonetheless moved to heal him.
8-18, heal Kerr.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Hmmph, don't be so grumpy. It looks just as good on you as it does on me. Not that anything would look bad on you."

Clanking along to [15,14], the knight stopped in his tracks and quickly brought his spear to bear at a noise past the stares. More enemies?

Mirabel lugged the tube with a grunt, lifting it off the ground and awkwardly half-running towards the rest of the group. She was somewhat glad that she wasn't close enough to dance, she had a feeling that her previous dance wasn't up to her usual standards. Yeah, that has to be it.

-
(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "Do not worry, miss. You were correct. There are no spiders, undead or otherwise." She smiled slightly wider than her normal side-of-the-mouth-twitch at the dancer's reaction.

He seemed particularly pleased in himself, offering a congratulatory gesture towards his brother. "No foe can stand for long against Wolfgars, ey Kerr?"

(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what's up with that but it must be nice."
-
Giuseppina made a little "eep" sound as she was pelted by what was once an undead head, and after standing a moment of shock spent her slow advance manually picking pieces of ghoul brain out of her hair; at one point she tossed a piece out the size of a grape, which she made a face at. Eventually, she resorted to taking a handkerchief and wiping furiously at the gory ensemble-- she'd cleared her face (mostly) and had the individual pieces of head out of her hair after a little bit.
She proceeded to toss the handkerchief away, forever.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Egh... That... that's ruined forever. And probably also cursed."

(http://i.imgur.com/mzRMGyr.png) "Yeah... I, uh, kinda didn't mention that in the letters. I don't know, how exactly do you broach the subject of 'hey Kerr how goes being a royal bodyguard? Oh, and also turns out I sometimes glow and my wounds mend by themselves, weird right?'" The knight shrugged and shook his head with a sigh. The wound from his first ill-attempted stab at the ghoul was already almost mended.
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "I don't know, I've been meaning to tell you somehow but it never really came up. There's, eh, a bit more to it but this isn't really the best place to say. Has some pretty nice upsides honestly, so I can't complain."
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) About that time Aurelian saw Giuseppina spend a bit trying to clean up from the ghoul mess, the young knight frowned. "Oooh. Sorry Giuseppina. Yeah, didn't think his head would sort of... Bust. I can probably get you a replacement for that cloth if you like."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/lzfpry6.png)"Naw, don't worry about it little brother. We all have stuff we don't know how to talk about. Figured when you wanted to talk about it, you would."
-
Maribel gave a small sigh of relief as the fighting stopped and everyone started chatting as though they weren't in an undead infested spider den. Walking though the hallway into a room, she was shocked to see Giuseppina with smears of gore on her. Saying nothing but giving a small gasp, she looked away, and looked down the corridor, in an attempt to look busy.

The ghoul fell to the ground and immediatelly began to dissolve. Hissing accompanied the bubbling of the green organic goo. Sulphuric fumes assaulted the nostrils of nearby people.
There was nothing on the goo that remotely resembled the shard, though.
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "Ah, you destroyed it already?" The Prince sounded somewhat.. dissappointed.
Objectives:
Find the shard.
-
Irios continued to lay on the ground.
(http://i.imgur.com/liV6Ovl.gif)"That was... rather unexpected," he mumbled to himself.
-
Aur clanked over to (6,2), ignoring the puddle of once-ghoul and applies some Vulnerary to Irios.
(http://i.imgur.com/pjLSKSl.gif) "Hey, you okay? That thing got you pretty bad from the looks of it."
-
//BTW the map is done so you do not need to post actions :v
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Ugh, you shouldn't have put yourself at risk like that. You are our only healer. "
Kerr knelt down next to the downed healer and carefully placed some of the medicine he carried on the man's wound, careful not to let our touch his own skin during the process.
-
Irios pulled himself into a sitting position as the medicine began to heal his wounds, his hood falling back in the process.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"It's your fault Rainbow, you put yourself at risk."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/YTKnD5g.png) "That's sorta our job though, to take the risk for the people who can't or shouldn't. Its why we wear the armor and try to be in front." Aur was satisfied with the patch job given the priest, moving back.
-
Ayzebel rounded the corner, hearing the talking... was Irios injured?!
She rounded the corner at a sprint, skidding to a stop by Irios.
(http://i.imgur.com/6HM8gna.png) "Irios!"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"It's also my job to make sure that people like you don't bite it," Irios retorted.
And then Ayzebel rushed around the corner.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)Shit, better act like I'm fine.
(http://i.imgur.com/0NmSHA9.gif)"I'm fine Ayzebel, just felt the need for a quick nap."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Deflecting brings you nothing, but what's done is done. Let's just be happy nobody got seriously hurt, yeah?" The would-be-knight sighed and shook his head, not seeing a point in arguing with him.
(http://i.imgur.com/hUnY1ad.png) He turned to the newcomer. "He'll be fine. Ghoul got a good hit on him but we got him back on his feet, so to speak. Anyway, Kerr, let's make sure the ghoul was alone." At that he went off the scout further head, finding little more than the large door.
-
Giuseppina held her nose for a moment, taking a little while to quiet her guts from the aftermath of that... thing's STENCH. Nonetheless, she did manage to get herself composed, and with the area FINALLY, it seemed, cleared, she managed a grin.
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"Hey, we're almost done, aren't we!"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "...a nap? W-" and then the knight spoke, and her eyes narrowed. "I told you to be careful, you big lunk. I was worried." She crouched down next to him. "Can you stand?"
-
If looks could kill, the glare Irios sent at Aur for mentioning he'd been hurt would've left the man dead, unexplainable magical healing powers or not. As he turned to Ayzebel he bowed his head slightly.
(http://i.imgur.com/k7qS0em.gif)"Sorry, I underestimated how strong and fast that ghoul was."
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"And yes, I should be able to stand, mind lending me a hand?"
-
Shaking his head, Kerr called out to Aur,
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"I'll be right behind you. Also, miss, shouldn't you be looking for the shard? I believe they found a room over there with a chest in it. The sooner we find that, the quicker we can return to where it is safe."
Walking over to the prince, Kerr grinned slightly.
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"Looks like you didn't get to see much action today, huh? Good thing too. We've got to keep you safe after all."
The grin spread more at that final line into a teasing smirk as the soldier suspected exactly how the prince would respond.
-
Suddenly slightly shy, she offered her hand to help him stand.
(http://i.imgur.com/2vnVwqc.png) "J...just be careful." she muttered, her train of thought disrailed as she fought not to smile.
She held on for a moment before starting slightly and letting go.
(http://i.imgur.com/2vnVwqc.png) "I'll go find that chest, then."
And so she went and unlocked the chest.
-
Irios grunted as he stood up. Normally perfectly calm and collected he flushed a tad when Ayzebel didn't immediately let go.
(http://i.imgur.com/vApNNFA.gif)"Y-Yeah, I will."
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"I'll go with, just in case it's a trap like the first room was."
-
Inside the chest, there was a metal box.
-
Miranda creeped up to behind Ayzebel and looked over her shoulder.
(http://i.imgur.com/iBFQYlx.png) "Why would you put a box in a box?"
-
Chance faced the carcass of the ghoul, as if trying to examine it from a distance, before walking a fair distance away.
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "...Hah." He took a deep breath in, then out, and scratched the back of his head as he looked around at the rest of the ruin.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "Don't worry about me Kerr; our private training sessions are more entertaining."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Hmm, I don't seem to recall you being such a fan of those last time. After all, I seem to remember you ending up flat on your back in the dust..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "I only allowed you to be on top for three seconds. A bit of wrestling and you were again in your place, Rainbow-head."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"I don't... Ugh, yeah right, like you let me. Maybe I let you beat me, ever think of that?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "Nah, you like it too much to fake it."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) " To protect something smaller still, I would imagine."
She handled the box carefully, seeing if she could ease it open - and if it was locked, unlocked it.
-
Kerr found himself blushing slightly for some reason, as if it seemed like he and the prince were talking about two different things. He plowed on though, refusing to lose.
(http://i.imgur.com/owy6u6D.png)"Please. You're the prince. We can't have you all in a tiff because you lost to the son of a wyvern trainer. Wouldn't do at all for your royal image."
-
@Kerr:
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "Hmm, yes, you're right on that. From now on, or rather, when we get back, you will be allowed to, hmm, injure me during training. I want to see how hard and challenging the fighting can get if you don't hold back, allright? I will speak with Master of Household Laws about that..."
@Ayzebel:
Inside the box, there was another, heavy box that could only be lead. Said box was draped in some smooth, transculent fabric of unknown make, too.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/lzfpry6.png)"Ha. Perfect! I'll take you up on that, for sure. It'll be good for you, getting some more bruises. After all, our enemies won't go easy on you, so why should I?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "Can't wait."
-
With a grin and a sloppy salute, Kerr headed over to where Aur had found a large door.
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"Hmm, not much of interest back here then, unless we open this up. Thoughts, little bro?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "The people in this world have too much time on their hands."
Open the box away from herself.
-
The box have been opened.
Inside the box, there was a small green glass... well, two glass sticks bound together with more glass at both ends. In the very middle of the sticks' length, a small glass, similar to a needle, was placed, the sharp points of the shard trapped in the glass.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "I would say this is it."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/mzRMGyr.png) Aur had been inspecting the door, contemplating the very thoughts Kerr had. "Could be strange and mystical treasure. Maybe the shard even. Could be a horde of those things. More vicious than the last, possibly? Hm, could be trapped too." The knight swayed side to side with each contemplation.
(http://i.imgur.com/f5OCIB7.png) "I say we open it! I'm always terrible with patience. And surprises. And secrets. And this is all three hidden behind a door."
-
Chance, who had been recollecting himself, slowly approached the brothers.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "I would not advise it unless we know the shard is that way still." He stopped in front of the door, looking directly at it, as if trying to look through it, "Our foray into this land has gone on rather long, and I am sure it is taking its toll on some people here."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Hmm, he has a point, brother. We should be careful. While the door does present... interesting possibilities, we don't want to risk our lives for nothing. I'm pretty sure mother would murder me if I let anything happen to you."
-
Miranda creeped up to behind Ayzebel and looked over her shoulder.
(http://i.imgur.com/iBFQYlx.png) "Why would you put a box in a box?"
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"Perhaps they were going for irony."
He turned to Ayzebel.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"We should maybe show that to the prince."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) The knight sighed and relented at the two dissenters. "Fine. I bet its past the door though, otherwise we probably would of found it by now. Glad to see you're okay Chance, you took a nasty hit from that thing."
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Funny, she said the same thing to me for you." Aur tapped his brother in the arm lightly with his knuckles as he laughed. "We can take on anything this place has to throw at us, but home might be another thing."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/JZICgPl.png) "Going for what now?"
(http://i.imgur.com/pRJuU8L.png) "Ooh, is that shiny thing the shard?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "It seems likely it is."
She headed to the prince, pulling the box from out her cloak again and opening it for display.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I have discovered this, Liege; it seems like as not to be the shard."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "'Okay' may be stretching it. Fiends and bandits are no issue alone provided a healer is nearby, but this environment is very taxing on my senses. Such that I fear I may go blind." He paused a moment, then apparently realized the irony of his statement, "Blind again, I mean."
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Regardless, it seems your abilities have come to help you both here. I can only assume your regenerative abilities are lending you much strength in this energy-rich place. Is that ability perchance from your parents?"
-
Kerr laughed at Aur's comment.
(http://i.imgur.com/lzfpry6.png)"Seriously. Mother would never let us escape if she found out what we're doing here."
He then blinked in confusion and looked at Chance.
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"Our abilities? I've got nothing special going on here..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "No abilities?" Chance tilted his head as he looked over Kerr, "From my perspective, your head is surrounded in a cloud of magic, moreso than the background. It's not the same as your brother, but surely that is indicative of something..?"
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Perhaps... something that affects your prowess in battle? Or... A memory affecting spell?!"
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "That... would be bad, hold a moment, I need a clearer view." Chance quickly pulled out his tome and struck his hand across it, generating some sparks.
-
Kerr winced.
(http://i.imgur.com/gFB8Xh3.png)"Ugh, that damn bet... I have dyed hair. It was done by magic to allow for... the unusual coloring and also so it would last longer."
-
Miranda noticed the cloth lying discarded on the ground and stuffed it into her pocket. It was a nice cloth.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/3zLpA1M.png) "I... Huh, that might explain why I've been feeling hyper in this place. Every time I stay still for a bit, I feel... Antsy." The knight rolled his arm at the statement, self-conscious of his little movements now.
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Far as I know, no. It was pretty strange to everyone involved. I mean, I don't really know a lot about this stuff--Wait, magic? Seriously? I was wondering why it hasn't faded by now!"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "Dyed... hair?" Chance looked perplexed for a moment, and then struck his tome one more time to generate a flurry of sparks, "I see, when you frame it that way, the patterns make sense for that sort of effect."
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "My apologies, I shouldn't make such hasty conclusions. My mind has not been in its best condition since coming here." Chance turned to look at Aurelian, "You, on the other hand, are definitely not exhibiting anything I have seen before. Magic is constantly moving about within you and being used somehow, but I can not exactly see where it goes. At least, not here anyway."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/gFB8Xh3.png)"Yes, magic. It's the only way to get some of the colors plus... the prince insisted..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) Aur gave his brother another rap on his arm with his knuckles in good spirits. "And here I was thinking you just kept redyeing it. I was about to ask you if you knew how to enamel as well as you could dye."
(http://i.imgur.com/hUnY1ad.png) Turning back to the mage, he had a look of guarded interest. "You can see that, uh, magic in me? Hmm... Think I could ask you to take a look once we're back? A few people have looked at it but haven't really been able to tell me much about it. Not really expecting you to know, but... Well, something would be better than nothing."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "There's one way to find out, Ayzebel." With those words, Prince Aliberti pulled out his little mirror and rubbed it. The normally small speck of light burst onto whole surface of the black glass, illuminating it so brightly that the Prince had to squint his eyes.
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "Ow. Well it is it. One of the missing shards." He looked at the tiny needle-like piece.
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "I thought it would be, hmm..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "...fancier, perhaps. More grand, for such an important thing."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "Yes." The Prince looked around.
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "...eight, nine, ten. We're all here? So, uh, how do we do it again..." He turned his hand to look at the rosy bracelet he wore.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) Aur turned at the commotion behind them. "Well darn, guess they did find it. Guess we'll never find out what's beyond the door." He didn't seem too sad about that though.
At the question as to how to leave again, the knight himself couldn't remember. Something about magic?
-
Giuseppina clapped her hands together and grinned.
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"Oh, finally, we're out of here! I don't like it here much, it looks pretty cursed to me."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"I think a mage was supposed to do something to your bracelet, your highness."
-
Prince Aliberti lifted his wrist toward Chance.
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "Do your... magic thing."
-
Chance inclined his head.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "If I recall, you were to press the button on the brooch, and then have a mage energize it." The mage, holding a tome in one hand, left his hand out in the prince's general direction with the other, evidently not able to see the brooch.
-
Prince pushed the tiny button. The rose opened, revealing a small gemstone and set of wires and gears. The gears spun, the wires crackled with energy, and the gemstone shone with dim green light.
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "Now?"
-
Miranda perked up at hearing that magic was needed to activate the transportation thingamabob. Yeah this would show them that her magic was perfectly fine!
(http://i.imgur.com/yPBBLv1.png) "I CAN DO IT!"
The plains girl ran over to the prince and grabbed his arm with one hand. Her other fist quickly rose up in the air and started brightly glowing with a golden hue.
(http://i.imgur.com/yPBBLv1.png) "Here we go!"
She then slammed it down unto the brooch as hard as she could, releasing it into the piece of jewelry in a blinding flash upon contact
-
Prince Aliberti blinked in surpise.
(http://i.imgur.com/gZcj2Eu.png) "What are you doing? You are crazy, do you want this to-" White-blue-red-pink-bright yellow lights flooded the eyes of everyone present...
~~Chapter 1 Complete!~~
...and when the light faded, everyone was back in the Hall of Pillars. The magicians stood, staring at the group in awe. Suddenly, the High Priest rushed over and hugged Aliberti, delivering kisses upon the youth's face with his bearded lips. The Prince made all kinds of dissapproval noises.
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "Prince! Prince! You are back! Oh Angels be praised, you are back safe and sound! We have lost all hope!"
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Of course we are?"
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "We were worried when you were gone for a day, but waiting in uncertainty those two weeks, t'was a nightmare! The Grand Alchemist died of grief, thinking he have sent you to death, and his Majesty actually considered a fune-"
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "SAY WHAT? Two weeks!? What!? How!? You are insane! We were gone, we, it wasn't even half a day!"
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "Fourteen nights! I swear on my life, Prince! Every one of my apprentices here can confirm! Two weeks!" The Prince's knees went weak for a moment and he placed right hand on Kerr's shoulder for support. He quickly regained his composure, but remained silent.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Two weeks...? How strange."
Ayzebel was, in fact, rather neutral towards it. Not like she had any friends to miss outside of Irios, and he would always be with her. Always, so there was no cause for concern that end.
-
The relative quiet was shortly and sharply punctured by a loud gasp from the jewelry-bedecked girl, hand closed very tightly over her lucky gem.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"It must have been a curse! I knew something was off about that place! Oh nooo..."
-
Chance, his arm still outstretched, stood still.
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "..." After a moment, he let his arm fall to his side, ".....Why."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/MIFFo54.png) "Tw-Two weeks? But how?" Aurelian was stunned, not sure how else to take the news, stunned into silence.
-
Kerr had placed his arm around the prince's shoulder reflexively when the man had seemed like he'd been about to fall. He still seemed unaware of what he was doing, as he stared at the man in shock. It seemed impossible but...
"Magic. "
He said the word like a curse.
-
Other than the leftover panic he felt when Miranda smashed her hand into the bracelet, Irios was unfazed by the news. The only person the former orphan cared about had been with him the entire time after all.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"Must be something to do with world hopping."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Two weeks. Impossible. It's crazy. I have to speak with Father immediately. Even if only to cancel my funeral!" He made few steps toward the door before Royal Priest coughed.
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "Uhh, Prince?... I know you're in a hurry, but-"
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Oh, right, the shard, I don't- Ayzebel has it. Ayzebel please pass the shard to Mullah. I will see you all later. Kerr, you in charge." Aliberti left the Hall of Pillars almost running.
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "You people didn't spend two weeks in another world? Are you sure?""
-
Mirandaa let go of the princes arm and sheepishly scooted as far away as possible when the High Priest ran up to him.
---
(http://i.imgur.com/iBFQYlx.png) "But we were only there for a few hours!"
This wasn't her fault was it?
-
(http://i.imgur.com/3zLpA1M.png) "Well... At least we got the shard. Its not all bad." Aurelian tried to reason. "Was it us traveling that took so long? We had two trips, one there and then back. Maybe it takes a week per trip? ...Or something? I don't know." The knight sighed in defeat, not sure what could of caused this.
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "I guess there isn't anything for it but to move on."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Quite certain."
She handed over the lead box, appearing it once again from her cloak.
That done, she turned in a single smooth movement, drawing the axe out from under her cloak and resting it on her shoulder.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Giuseppina Abategiovanni."
-
She was snapped out of her somewhat-despairing reverie by the sound of her name (and said correctly, no less).
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"H-huh...?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I located this axe in the ruin of ghouls. Take it."
Give axe to Giuseppina Abategiovanni
-
Irios was confused as to why the two weeks they'd missed were so important to everyone. He asked Aur because the man seemed to have calmed down before everyone else.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"I don't see why everyone cares so much about being gone for two weeks. Sure, the moon's that much closer but we've managed to make progress on the orb."
-
Giuseppina gasped and fumbled the axe, nearly completely dropping it.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"From the place with the things?! That place didn't seem right, who knows what could be wrong with this thing or how it could be possessed or something like that??"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/mzRMGyr.png) At being asked the question, the knight scratched the back of his neck. "I can't speak for everyone, but its part weird discontinuity, and mostly family and friends who thought we might of been dead for two weeks. I mean, two weeks doesn't matter too much to me beyond the fact that its weird, but I don't want to think about what it might of put my family through." Aur was silent for a moment.
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Prince Aliberti probably has the hardest of it. We had (and still have) the hopes of a lot of people riding on our success. They thought he failed. The grand alchemist died because he thought he killed the prince."
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "But for the most part what's done is done. I find it kind of silly to waste time lingering over lost time."
-
Aur's talk about family seemed to hit a nerve.
(http://i.imgur.com/oRh4Qyi.gif)"Hmph. What's so great about family anyway?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hUnY1ad.png) Aurelian seems a bit taken aback by the statement. After a moment though, a few gears turn in his head. "I... Think I can guess. You know, there was a guy I used to practice with, back home when I was in the militia. Always hated leaving practice, always came to it happy and gave it his all. Got antsy whenever people mentioned family. Come to find out he had a real nasty home, bad folks. Don't think I ever saw him happier than when I saw him leave. He told me something before he left."
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "'Family are those you care about, and who care for you too.' Well... I don't know your situation, but for whatever its worth, I'm sorry to hear." The knight held out a gauntlet for a handshake in peace offering.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "It is an axe, miss. It hasn't growled, twitched on it's own, or devoured my immortal soul while I was carrying it, so it's probably safe."
-
Irios hardly wanted to listen to the knight but did so anyway; begrudging gratitude for seeming to care soothed the violent flame.
(http://i.imgur.com/k7qS0em.gif)"When you put it like that, it sounds like something anyone can call theirs." It sure sounded like Ayzebel anyway.
Irios shook the outstretched hand, accepting the offering.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"I probably reacted a bit harsh, so for that I apologize. Unpleasant memories and all that."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "Its fine. We all have our hills and valleys. Its what makes people who they are, I can't blame someone for that."
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "I've personally just always found it better to focus on the positive: we got a shard and we're back home. One step closer."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "Ah, ahhh yes! It is a shard." Royal Priest was quite happy after opening the box. He unceremoniously snapped the framing of green glass and extracted the tiny shard.
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "I shall summon the enchanters, prepare the liquid of binding, and place this tiny speck amongst its crystal brethren. First, though..." He looked at Prince's entourage.
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "I feel some quite peculiar and unnatural energies from one of you. Say, did you bring, hmmm, any artifacts from the other world?"
-
Maribel jerked, as she realized that the tube she was carrying was most likely the artifact, with how it seemed to always be almost uncomfortably warm. Probably also the reason why it was so heavy..
(http://i.imgur.com/9fdy6nS.png) "Ah, yes! Here. Careful, its heavy.."
Give him the tube.
-
The elderly priest almost fell to the ground with an 'oompf!', before pair of his apprentice lifted the tube for him.
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "Hmmm hmm, some twisted, peculiar energy is stored in this tube. As if fire, but without flame. As if dark magic, but not evil... I shall have our magicians do research on this metal. Maybe later we can fashion it into something useful. I will be going now. You should go rest. You did a fine job. I'm sure Prince Aliberti is proud of you." Royal Priest gathered his apprentices and they all left, leaving Prince's companions alone and purposeless for the time being.
-
Still staring off and clutching his head, nursing a migraine, Chance slowly recollected himself.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "...I suppose I am glad enough that we made it back here in one piece."
He turned in Miranda's general direction.
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "Please do be more careful next time, that blow could have easily damaged our only way back home."

Once the apprentices had left, Maribel rubbed her head, and laughed.
"Two... Two weeks? Ha..Hahah..Hahah! Two whole weeks.. I can't believe that... I.."
Maribel grew quiet, and said nothing, hand covering her face.
-
Kerr stared after the prince, barely noticing the discussion going on around him.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Dammit, I hope he'll be ok... Ugh, if they thought we were dead... AUR, do you think they told Dad?"
-
Giuseppina lightly scratched the back of her head embarrassedly and took the axe.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"If... if you say so..."
-
Deadpan, she said dryly...
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Look on the bright side. If you are turned into some kind of ravenous demon-host, the rest of us are probably doomed too."
She looked at Maribel, her head cocked slightly.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Miss Maribel? Why are you so distressed at it being two weeks?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hUnY1ad.png) The knight turned from his conversation with the priest and blinked. The answer to his question was the worry on his face. "...We better go tell him quickly Kerr."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/gFB8Xh3.png)"I just hope he hasn't... ugh... told Mom."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "Its fine. We all have our hills and valleys. Its what makes people who they are, I can't blame someone for that."
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "I've personally just always found it better to focus on the positive: we got a shard and we're back home. One step closer."
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"Fair enough. And yes, at least progress was made."
The brothers concerns reminded Irios of the Sect of Glass. Finding Ayzebel talking with Maribel he asked his question.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"Ayzebel, do you think we should report to the Sect? I mean, they probably don't care about me, but you on the other hand..."
-
Giuseppina makes a light whimpering sound at Ayzebel's joke.
-
Maribel sighed, and removed her hand from her face.
"I.. I just didn't expect any of this. From being pulled away at court to having to go into a dusty ruin filled with undead and now being told that we were presumed dead for two weeks?!"
She paused, and then sighed.
"I understand that this is important, saving the world, but I'm just a dancer.. I haven't been trained or anything for... Anything like what we just encountered! Its all just so... so... Absurd!"
-
Any trace of her humour melted away at Irios' question.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "It seems likely it's something they'd be interested in. I'll make a report soon. Coming is up to you."
She absent-mindedly scratched at the scar on her nose.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) Aur set off with his brother towards where their father resided. "If we're lucky, he hasn't sent a letter off yet. We may be able to catch him before hand."
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) After a moment of silence, he turned towards Kerr. "You know the prince better than I do. ...Will he be okay? I, uh. I don't know how well he knew the grand alchemist."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/VC4jPAA.gif)"I'll..." Irios faltered. He knew the Sect was far from fond of him, and he didn't particularly like them either. His only use to them was keeping Ayzebel alive so she could continue to be their killing machine, there was no question about that. If he died doing it they'd probably be elated.
(http://i.imgur.com/VC4jPAA.gif)"I'll... go with you. Not much else I can do anyway."
-
As they set off, Kerr chuckled and shook his head.
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Ha, one can only hope. Otherwise she'll be stealing the messenger's wyvern and flying here to raise us from the dead so she can harangue us for dying. Before she kills us herself for doing that to her."
At the second question though, his face dropped.
(http://i.imgur.com/CY8Mb3l.png)"I... don't know. They never seemed to be overly close as far as I know, though I may be mistaken. Regardless... Knowing him, he will be taking this hard. I only wish I..."
He trailed off, staring at the ground as they continued on.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) Aurelian put a gauntlet on Kerr's shoulder and stopped, looking his brother in the eyes. "Hey, if you need to go see him, go. I know you're friends with him, he'll probably needs someone to talk to after all's said and done. I can wrap up the 'missing' thing by myself if you want to slip out later, okay? I'm sure dad won't take offense with you leaving the reunion a bit early to see to the prince."
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) With that he slapped his arm lightly with the same gauntlet, resuming walking. "Now come on, if we gotta face our deaths lets not keep it waiting."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/CY8Mb3l.png)"I don't even know if he'll want... He has to talk to his father and then we'll need to head out again and... I'm just a childhood friend he likes to spar with. He probably has other people to talk to about things like that."
He sighed and then nodded.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"You're right though. Lets go find father."
-
Three hours have passed. It was not enough but adequate amount of time for some to calm down, some to talk their issues out, and some to calm down their relatives.
And Hafiz received his horse that he was usually scouting on, with special dispensation from the City Guard Commander.
Prince Aliberti returned to the Hall of Pillars, after everyone in his 'entourage' has been recalled. The reason was simple - they were going on another 'trip. Royal Priest, and his apprentices, visibly tired, have went alongside Prince Aliberti; and there was a green-haired youth as well.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Allright. I've talked with my Fat- I mean, the King, and he was pleased with our actions and recovery of the shard... I've also paid my respects to the late Grand Alchemist and met his, uhhh, adequate replacement. She will conduct research on the metal tube along with Royal Priest's apprentices. Oh and this green-haired guy here-" Prince unceremoniously nodded toward Noel. "He will go with us. Rashida has been recalled to her tutoring, so he will replace her and also take notes of our journeys."
Noel Schoech is in!
The apprentices stepped forward and gave Irios a new staff, while Chance received a thick tome infused with magic flames.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "I've asked the royal armorer about some equipment and this is what he could procure at the moment."
Irios receives Heal staff!
Chance receives Elfire!
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "We here in the palace shall try to establish, hmmm hmmm, a magical link between us and your group. If done correctly, it shall maintain a stable relationship between the time here and there."
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Mullah explained it to me earlier; it means that if we spend three hours in the world we visit, so will three hours pass here."
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "That's our theory... even if there will be difference, hmm, at least it won't be two weeks. Hopefully, a couple hours of difference."
Prince Aliberti took a deep breath and then rubbed his forehead. He was visibly tired, but it seemed he wasn't going to take a break yet.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "So... everyone's ready? If someone wants to stay behind this time, I won't stop them."
-
Kerr wanted nothing more than to go and give his friend a reassuring hug or pat on the back, but he suspected the prince wouldn't appreciate it. So instead he grinned and nodded.
(http://i.imgur.com/lzfpry6.png)"Well so long as Aur and I here don't have to explain to our father again how we're not dead and please don't send that letter to mother for all our sakes, we should be fine."
He paused and then in a more serious manner, looked at the prince.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"You know I'll do anything in my power to keep you safe. And so I'm coming with you, no matter what."
-
Ayzebel had reported to the Sect of Glass - it had been a quick rush between places, a swift report ,and back. Now she stood next to Irios, looking calm but interested in the new guy. She hadn't learnt anything on him - only on the "planned" party. She'd have to ask the Sect when she next returned... she had responsibilities to root out any heresy, after all.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I'm ready, Liege. "
-
(http://i.imgur.com/f5OCIB7.png) "See new places, meet new people, bit of saving the world and this time without everything thinking you're dead as a byproduct. What's not to love?"
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "You'll have my lance and armor at your side, prince Aliberti."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "I'm glad you wish to follow me, Kerr. And you, others, too. This way-"
"ALIBERTI!" A loud, hurried voice came from the other side of the hall.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "...Is that-"
"ALIBERTI!" A young woman, clutching the hem of her dress and with sheathed sword tied to her gold-threaded belt, hurried toward the group. Aliberti wasn't particularily pleased.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "ALIBERTI! By the Angels, I can't believe you tried to go adventuring again without me! Two weeks! Two weeks you leave me alone without even a sparring partner while you were off doing great deeds! Do you even comprehend how bored I was?"
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "Ah! Princess Rosana!" Royal Priest bowed his head in respect, along with his apprentices.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Oh hello Mullah. Hello all!" She then turned towards Aliberti. "Aliberti! I'm going with you!"
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "What? Of course not! Father- his Majesty would never agree." Rosana chuckled and dramatically touched her exposed collarbone.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Oh my dear Ali! I have spoken with Father and even our Mother and they didn't even try to argue! I'm absolutely positive I'm going with you! I even brought a blade I received from the armorer few days ago. And what I would do here anyways? Knit handkerchiefs??" An exasperated sigh came from Aliberti's mouth, and then he stared at his sister dissapprovingly. Rosana stared back with innocent smile.
The staring contest was intense.
And lasted only three seconds before Aliberti rolled his eyes and sighed.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Allright, fine. But I don't want to hear any complaining from you. This is serious business." Princess Rosana let out almost childish squee and clapped her hands, turning in a spin toward the rest of the group.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Oh hello Kerr, Aurelian, Chance, Maribel. Who are the others though? I don't think we ever met before."
Princess Loudmouth Rosana Zorostrian joins the party!
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"Ah, Princess... What a... welcome? surprise to have you along with us. Are you sure this is what you want to be doing though? After all, your dress might get dirty."
He smirked a bit at the end there, ready for the response he knew he was about to get.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Oh?" She looked down at her dress.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Well I will wash it afterwards! I can't go adventuring and hope to keep my dress clean now can I?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Well, so long as you're alright with the various lady training classes that tend to come along with your acting like this, it should be interesting to have you along, that's for sure."
-
Due to the hurried nature of the report it went better than Irios had expected, him just having to be present. He took the staff offered him with thanks, as is own was well on it's way to expiring.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"Thank you, with this I needn't worry about over using my staff."
Irios knew he didn't have a choice of staying behind, not that he would anyway. As he was about to answer the prince he was interrupted by none other than the princess running up and declaring she would be accompanying them this time. Introductions were once again in order.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"I am Irios Dias, a representative of the Sect of Glass," he said while bowing the same as he'd done for the prince.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "Wh-" Chance fumbled as the Elfire was dumped into his hands, "We're leaving again? I'm not entirely sure..."
The mage rubbed his head a little, but relented.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "If the Prince requires my assistance still, I am prepared."
Color seemed to drain from his face, though, when the Princess entered the scene.
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "Milady Rosana?! Are you absolutely certain? While I am certain in Milady's and our capabilities to fend off danger, even in this last time we attempted to use this method of travel, we remained in the other world for two weeks from this perspective. Who knows what other risks may be present?"
-
Maribel had entered, wearing an entirely different outfit, instead of a formfitting blue outfit that ended in a skirt, she was wearing a grey toga, trimmed with gold that covered her arms, while still giving her a full range of movement, followed by a sensible pair of similar trousers. The outfit was finally finished with a scarlet scarf, which she occasionally messed with, laying more of it onto her shoulders, before deciding to leave a portion hanging off her shoulder. She shook her head when the prince asked if anybody wanted out of this.
(http://i.imgur.com/pWpYrBj.png) "I know how important this is. I won't refuse working towards saving our world."
She almost grinned when she saw the staring contest between Aliberti and Rosana. That was the princess alright, it was good to see that the two weeks hadn't changed her.
(http://i.imgur.com/K5ZtBPj.png) "Ah, hello Princess Roasana. I won't try to dissuade you from this, so. It's a pleasure having you around, we'll do our best to keep you and your brother relatively safe.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Oh, hey princess Rosana. Didn't expect you to be joining us. If you want to see weird places, you made the right choice! Our last visit was a desert with absolutely giant ruins and a weird underground building with lots of magic."
-
Noel pinched the bridge of his nose between his eyes with a heavy sigh.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Yes, I'm Noel Schoech. I'm one of the royal librarians and scribes. Apparently I'm being drug away from my studies to document these travels. I'm quite skilled in dark magic, so let's not demean ourselves by pretending that I need babysitting. All that being said, it would be a good idea to give me the short version of your previous jaunt, for posterity's sake."
Noel held a quill above a blank page of his book, although his expression said he wasn't expecting much.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I am Ayzebel Glassria, your Highness. I am one of the representatives of the Sect of Glass, here to serve."
-
Oh, another royal introduction! Giuseppina had practiced her greeting to the prince about two hundred times before she ever even arrived at the castle, so it was quite firmly etched into her mind. Giuseppina (with a jewelry-jangly curtsy) therefore repeated it almost word-for-word to the princess.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Oh, uh, it's an honor to meet you, your highness! My name is Giuseppina Abategiovanni, daughter of the illustrious gold merchant Feliciano Abategiovanni, currently serving under the prince as one of his guards!"
Despite her attempts to regain her composure, Giuseppina was a little loud and rushed with the sudden need for an introduction.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/yPBBLv1.png) "It's nice to meet you your highness. My name's Miranda."
-
Noel sighed silently but heavily. Of course he was going to be overshadowed by the Princess; the lower classes were always quick to kowtow to royalty, which was why they were nobodies. The first interdimensional journey would just have to go unchronicled. He closed his book and put his quill away.
It was then he noticed what looked to be a priestess staring at him, as if trying to figure him out. He responded with his coldest, most disdainful glare before tucking his hands in his robes and returning his attention to his own vastly more important thoughts.
-
Kerr frowned slightly before walking over to the new member of their group, figuring getting away from the princess unscathed was a good idea. Giving the magic user a once over, he grinned slightly, leaning on his spear.
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"You said Noel, right? I'm Kerr Wolfgar, I've been one of the prince's friends and training mates for most of my life. So you got stuck with us, huh? And you wanted to know about our last trip? Sorry I didn't say something right away, the princess distracted me."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I'm aware of who you are. I was there when that spell was put on you, and there are rather unflattering rumors about Kerr and Aliberti."
Noel made a vague upwards gesture at the spell comment.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Usually an impolite variant of a children's rhyme..."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I'm not interested in any of this beyond pure scholarly reasons. The procedures behind interdimensional travel are... Well, nevermind."
Noel got his book back out.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "This other world... What was it like?"
-
Kerr recoiled at the comment about him and the prince.
(http://i.imgur.com/UZMKTTp.png)"Excuse me? What do you mean about... ugh. We're friends. If I'd known... Bah."
He glared at the floor for a few seconds before shaking his head.
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"Right. Other world. Different. There were lots of things that seemed to have no use. Wires and tubes strung along the walls of buildings. Materials I didn't recognize. The ground in parts was made out of this shiny black material, almost like obsidian but different. And there were humans, though they attacked us and could not be reasoned with, but there were also monsters of some sort. Giant spiders and things that seemed to be human but...weren't."
-
Noel's quill flew across the page.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSarcastic.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Servants will talk. It occupies their idle minds."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Enough of that. Describe these humans - their manner of dress, speech, weaponry?"
For the first time since he had followed the prince in, Noel seemed genuinely interested in the proceedings.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"Ragged clothes, though I don't know the material. The weapons were crude but strong. These were from there. "
He held out the javelins he'd received in the other world.
-
Noel looked over the javelins and made a quick sketch in the margins.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) ""So they were armed like primitives, yet their location suggested a culture at least as far advanced as our own? And they spoke our language, did you say? Interesting. All right, tell me about the spiders. Venomous, web spinning or leaping...?""
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"The locals spoke whatever language they speak. The artifact that transports us also translates for us. I figured you would know that. As for the spiders, they had webs, no leaping or poison that I saw. Not overly difficult to take out, though to be honest none of the enemies were."
-
Hafiz had stood silent for most of the reunion, having kept reserved and pensive since the end of their skirmish in that alien realm. The news they'd been gone for two weeks only struck his mood harder, and as soon as dismissed for a few hours, Hafiz rushed into the capital to provide his father an explanation. He could only hope future missions would have a lesser time gap.
Returning to the castle, horse in tow, Hafiz presented himself to the Hall of Pillars once more. Mood only slightly lighter, Hafiz stood silent and let the prince give his report. Only when introductions were called he uttered a word again.
(http://i.imgur.com/44odzSw.png) "...Hafiz Ajam, scout of the capital's guard, princess."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSMellow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Oh, does it? That's interesting of itself, but the other possibility... No matter. So they were non-venomous web spiders of unusual size, but no particular ability. That's all right, I suppose, since it means there's no real need to study them."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I suppose you wouldn't mind elaborating on the other creatures?"
-
Maribel glanced at Hafiz, though she hadn't spoke to him before, he seemed.. Unusually weary, compared to the rest of the group. Waiting a couple of moment,s she walked up behind him and poked him on the shoulder, before stepping back and allowing him to turn to face her.
(http://i.imgur.com/K5ZtBPj.png) "Hafiz, was it? You seem.. Weary, is there anything I can do to help with what's on your mind? Maybe.. Refresh you?"
-
Aurelian was shuffling around by himself as he waited for them to head out already, anxious. Seeing Giuseppina, the man spoke up.
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Hey, you ready to head out again? Wonder what we're going to see next. It could be anything!" He seemed pretty excited.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"They were... husks it seemed. Like they should have been human but weren't. Undead maybe or... something worse."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Undead in other worlds... Interesting."
Noel finished writing and closed his book with a thump.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSConfident.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "You've been helpful. Thank you. We can go over the constructions another time."
Noel looked Kerr over.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "A personal question. Why the hair?"
-
Giuseppina had her attention taken from the Princess by Aur's arrival.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Oh, uh, Aurelian! I'm, uh, ready enough to go ahead, but..."
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"I guess I do hope that the next place is a lot less... well... destroyed and probably-cursed?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/gFB8Xh3.png)"Because I made a foolish bet and lost. The magic dye as opposed to regular dye was so that it would last longer because that amused the person I lost the bet to."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Well, that's sort of what's so great isn't it? It could be anything, who knows? I bet it won't be anything I would even think to imagine. I mean, for however destroyed the last place was, it was still an amazing sight. What I wouldn't give to see it how it used to be."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/qy8dVMn.png) "Ah, what?"
Hafiz turned his head to face Maribel, and forced a smile that only held a fraction of a moment before turning into a sigh.
(http://i.imgur.com/tNC7xsp.png) "Sorry, I tried to take all these events my own pace, but... we only have so much time. I'm sure it's rough on everyone else as well."
(http://i.imgur.com/44odzSw.png) "Refresh me? What do you mean?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyebrow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I see. And this someone would be... The prince, perhaps? I only ask because it seems like such flamboyant hair would make for an easy target."
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"I... guess. That place sort of... well, it scared me out of my wits."
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"Still, it would be nice to show up somewhere rich and shining and prosperous, though, huh?"
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Unless they still want to fight us."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Does it matter? Now unless you'd prefer I start asking you personal questions too..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/pWpYrBj.png) "Mmmm.. That's true, I personally would like having more time to recover myself, but..."
Maribel smiled a faint smile, and pointed her finger at the ceiling, before sighing.
(http://i.imgur.com/K5ZtBPj.png) "I can only hope we get some more rest after this shard, assuming that the time.. stays whatever its meant to stay at." She sighed, before letting out a small 'oh'
(http://i.imgur.com/K5ZtBPj.png) "Oh, right. Refreshing! My dances are more than moves, they have the power to refresh a person, as though they had just rested. I'll demonstrate, if you're okay with that."
-
Noel spread his hands with a shrug.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "If you want to educate yourself I'll be glad there's at least one other person on this team who thinks to ask questions. And a fair trade is a fair trade."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/3zLpA1M.png) "Well, its all sort of a gamble. Wherever the shard might of gone. Hmm." The knight pondered for a moment.
(http://i.imgur.com/f5OCIB7.png) "I guess it sorta depends on if they recognize how important the shard is. We might have a really short trip where they just hand it to us. Or a really long one. Who can tell?"
(http://i.imgur.com/mzRMGyr.png) "I think that's half the fun. Although yeah, it would be nice to go somewhere where not every single person or thing we meet tries to fight us."
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"You know... I never really thought about it in terms of fun. It seems kinda nice."
-
Looking the mage over once, Kerr raised an eyebrow and sighed.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"So what are you doing here in the capital? Your accent sounds more like my brother's than the prince's."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Why I'm anxious to get going. It could be anything! Probably mostly because I'm terrible with surprises. And patience. I can't even guess! I did last time and didn't even come close."
-
Giuseppina shrugged widely.
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"Who knows? I've been lots of places, but last time was just... not at all like any of them. I don't even really think there's anything like them here at all!"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/oUlC7jG.png) "Hmm. I don't think so. Maybe? I can't say I've ventured to a lot of places here, probably best if I just say I don't know."
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"If you don't mind me asking. . . where have you been?"
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png)"I'm from the Tunis sea area, myself, so I've been all over that coast!

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I know it's probably not the answer you were looking for, but it will have to do for now. I don't want to speak of it any further with that priestess trying to stare through me."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Oh, where I've been? Uh... Miccah and... Zorestra... And that's, uh, pretty much it." The knight scratched the back of his neck as he tried to recall, although to a keen eye it was a false front.
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Tunis, really? Wow! I've seen the ocean before, but never been on it. What's it like at sea? Or a coastal town even? Is it true its easy to get sick on a ship?" If Giuseppina didn't have the young knight's full attention before, she sure did now, looking eager for tales of other places.
-
The conversation she was having with Aur was much more natural than any she'd tried to have before, something she was quite grateful for.
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png)"Hahaha, I saw lots of people got seasick, but never me, since I've been on a ship all my life! The seas... well, it's interesting! There's so much different to go over I don't really know where to start!"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "Well, I know so little I don't know where to begin. Hm... What's it like when the floor and everything keeps moving? The closest I would know would be riding on a wyvern, but then you're sort of moving with them. Or something. I don't really know what to compare it to."
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png)"If you've got a strong stomach, good balance, or are just used to it, it takes a little while and then you basically adjust! Hehe, it can be just as difficult to get back on land, though."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Q9IzXpH.png) "Yeah... hopefully things will go better this time." Hafiz shrugged, trying not to put his mind to think of worse outcomes.
(http://i.imgur.com/VXtTb7d.png) "Ah, a dance, you say? Like the ones you did during the mission? Of course, go ahead." Curious about how these dances worked their magic, his interest was piqued.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/JZICgPl.png) "I hope wherever we go this time isn't filled with icky things again. Those monsters were just sooo gross." She shuddered at the memory
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5Uke83N.png) "Certainly, enjoy.."
And with that, Maribel grew silent, stretching for a moment or two, before tapping her feet to an unheard beat, launching into a modified waltz. She unfurled her scarf, flinging the end into the air and making it dance by twitching her arm, before starting a complex footwork pattern, still making her scarf dance and flutter in the air. She continued this performance for a couple moments more, before stopping and re-donning her scarf. She smiled a genuine smile at Hafiz.
(http://i.imgur.com/K5ZtBPj.png) "Mhmhm.. Was that a decent display?"
-
The Prince finished conversing with Royal Priest in secret.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "It is time. The apprentices are ready and we can have another trip."
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "I just can't wait!"
The apprentices formed a circle and began to chant.
Bright yellow-pink-red-blue-white light flooded the eyes of everyone, before dissipating as quickly as it have appeared...
~~Chapter 2: The White North~~ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmt0OZoFmXc)
...and everyone was standing in the middle of a forest.
Suddenly, the ground gave way and everyone plummeted into a knee-deep layer of white, cold substance. Hafiz's horse barely managed to keep its balance and thusly the horse archer was the only one who didn't suffer the wet, cold fate.
That substance was snow. For those that lived in Kovalia or visited the high peaks of Miccah, snow wasn't anything new.
Others, however...
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "Augh! What is this! I'm all wet! And it's cold! I can't get it out my collar! Mullah, damn you!" The Prince stood up and brushed himself, shivering already. His sister stood up and fished something from the back of her belt. Those were gloves.
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "Good adventurer is a prepared adventurer! And it's snow my good brother! You can see it north in Kovalia. Now if I only brought a fur coat-" Rosana stared at a nearby person. It was tall, blonde woman, in a fur coat. She had a hatchet in one hand, and with the other she was apparently in the middle of dragging a small tree. She looked, wide-eyed, at Prince and his entourage for a good while. Princess Rosana smiled and raised a hand toward her in peaceful gesture.
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "Oh! Oh! A native! Hello-"
The blonde woman let go off the tree and made a run for it, up the hillside, toward a palisaded settlement of sorts!
"Magi! Magi are here! Magi! Magi have come! Magi are here!!" She yelled quite enthusiastically while running. Soon however her speech was unrecognizable to other's ears; she went outside the artifact's range.
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "I think -ACHOO- I think she have mistaken us for someone else..." The Prince rubbed his shoulders and then turned toward Chance.
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "Chance, what kind of fire spells you know? Anything about protection from cold maybe?"
Unfortunately, Chance, Miranda and Noel could feel the magic of their books being skewered with in some way. It must be conflicting with the nature of the magic of this world!
//Anima, Light and Dark magic tomes have their AT halved in this world. Staff magic is unaffected.
-
Ayzebel was somewhat protected by the cloak she wore and the tall boots. She looked around, picking up a handful.
At the woman's shouts she drew her sword, but as she ran off her returned it to the sheath.
"We should follow her. If they are hostile, we'll meet them before they have time to prepare. If not... we'll be out of the snow."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "...We've arrived? Why does it seem..." Chance pulled out his Fire tome and struck it a couple times, generating much fewer sparks than normal.
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "First I am blinded by too much magic, now I am blinded by too little. Fate does seem to love it's themes."
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "The air definitely feels a lot like home, though..." The mage quietly stowed his tome away before addressing the Prince's concern, "Unfortunately the only way I could protect anyone from cold is to set something nearby ablaze. Even worse, something about this world is suppressing magic a great deal."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "It looks like we'll have to try twice as hard for maybe half the effect."
Noel sighed and got out his book and quill, making a notation about the personal effects of magical travel and the area they ended up in. After a few moments, he was done.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "If this magic does send us to very near a shard, then it's likely that the village has it. Additionally, it's the only landmark visible. We might as well head toward it."
-
Giuseppina was more than a little surprised by the sudden dip in the snow, closing her eyes and clenching her fists by her side as the freezing sensation assaulted her.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Oh, oh, oh that is COLD!"
-
Prince Aliberti sneezed again.
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "Ehhh, Chance might be right. Let's go people." And thus the group followed after the woman, but soon they had to stop; a group of villagers poured from the gate of the settlement. Few of them were armed. They gazed on the Prince and his entourage as if they were mesmerized.
Must be Prince's natural beauty.
A large, bearded man pushed himself between the people and ventured in front of them, with open arms. That man had at least six and half feet of height and given his width, at least two hundred fifty pounds, if not more. He wore a simple robe, while more observant people could notice a jewelled belt and a silver ring with crystal shard on his left index finger.
(http://i.imgur.com/01pey99.png) "Welcome, southerners! I am Ethelred, King on the Mountain, and I'm very happy that Magi have come to visit us, and in the best moment possible. Our food is your food, our beds are yours! Come, come! Tell us of your travels, of the world in the flatlands and then we can do business. Everyone! Prepare a feast for the Magi! Our problems might see a solution!" The villagers cheered, and the 'giant' then spoke with them. The Prince looked bewildered, while Princess was somewhat calmer.
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "They really did mistake us for someone else." His sister giggled.
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "Heehee, I won't turn down a feast in such a dreaded, cold place. Can't we at least pretend?" Aliberti shrugged, and then turned to Kerr and others.
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "Did you see his ring?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Do you think it's a shard? In any case, let's take the opportunity to find out more about this place."
Noel already had his journal out.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"They said they had a problem... Perhaps if we help them with it, they'll be willing to give us the shard. They mentioned something about business too, so..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "Well, we can easily find out." Prince pulled out the mirror but then Ethelred placed a hand on his shoulder.
(http://i.imgur.com/01pey99.png) "And what is your name, young man? I assume you are in charge here, given your exquisite armor? Is that steel?"
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "I'm Aliberti. Err, yes it's steel, but, uhhh, alloyed."
(http://i.imgur.com/01pey99.png) "Oh, alloys. Here we work with simple iron! Come, you will tell me more about the marvels of the flatlands! Do you still build entire buildings out of stone? We haven't had a magi in almost twelve years, I have so much to ask!..." Prince Aliberti handed the mirror to Noel before King Ethelred dragged him away.
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "Is this mirror important?" Princess asked, as she wasn't informed of its abilities.
-
Noel shrugged.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I believe it is meant to identify shards of the orb. Let's see. I don't know if it'll work without the shard in the immediate vicinity..."
He rubbed the mirror with the trailing sleeve of his robe.
-
Almost entire surface of the mirror begun to shine brightly, and with careful observation of darkened area one could conclude that the shard in the ring was shard of the orb.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Now we have to find a way to get that ring. Here, you hold on to this."
Noel handed the mirror to Rosana and started sketching the village and taking notes about it.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"I think that a few of us should follow after the prince to make sure that everything is alright."
With that, Kerr headed after the prince and the apparent leader of the village.
-
Aur was watching the procession and the area around them with wonder and awe quietly. Snow! He's only seen snow once, and from afar, but this is quite amazing. An entire field of snow as far as the eye could see and a strange people who actually don't want to kill them!
He was rather thankful for his bulky armor and layering by now, effectively girded from the cold by both attire and tempering from his time in Miccah. At his brother's comment, Aurelian nodded.
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Yeah. They seem nice though, but it never hurts to be careful. Best way to get the ring would probably be helping them I bet." He lowered his voice perhaps more than needed. "...Or saying that we need it to solve their problem in the first place, which is a bit underhanded." The knight frowned at the latter option, clearly disliking it, before trudging off after his brother.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "We could just kill the man and take the ring. If he believes we can solve his problem, he obviously believes us stronger. It would certainly be a swift conclusion."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) Because all of us are common thugs and murderers, of course.
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"What? But... why would you want to do that... That's murder."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "An entire world depends on our actions, and the Crimson Moon gets ever closer. It's our duty to try to obtain the shards as fast and effectively as possible, even if we sully our hands with red."
-
Maribel was intensely grateful for her new outfit, it being much more suited for snow than some dancer's outfit from the court. Still, she quickly got up and shook as much of the snow as she could off her.
(http://i.imgur.com/K5ZtBPj.png) "Snow? It's been a while since I've seen this much at once..."
When the strangers arrived, and when Ayzbel suggested murdering them, she shook her head.
(http://i.imgur.com/pWpYrBj.png) "I.. I don't think we're exactly capable of murdering innocent people. We should at least see if we can't get the shard by non-violent means."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "A life against a world? If we fail because of the delay, we have murdered countless more with our inaction." She looked around. "And so... what would you do if this innocent man refused us his ring? Would you slay him then? Murder is murder, after all."
-
Chance remained still, slowly trying to examine the area around him, apparently in vain.
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "I... do not entirely disagree with Miss Glassria's line of reasoning. But I believe we should consult the Prince and Princess first. After all, this task could be trivial."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/pWpYrBj.png) "I'd use force, I'd knock him out or otherwise paralyze him. Killing him.. That would be a last resort. Not a first one."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Right. You Sect of Glass people like to kill first, ask questions never. Your handlers must be proud of their attack dog."
Noel shook his head.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSDisgust.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I'm hardly one to care what the common person thinks - they're common for a reason - but it would be hypocritical of us to potentially doom this village by killing their leader!"
-
Ayzebel regarded Noel coldly.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png)"Hypocritical? Not in the least. My duty is to save our world, no matter what needs be done. If they had a similar task, I would expect them to do no less. A person, a village, a city - none match up to an entire world like we are protecting."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSDisgust.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Then let's just break into their houses, shall we? Surely we could use their food, and sell their goods to fund ourselves. We're saving the world, after all! Who cares what we destroy along the way, it'll all be right in the end!"
Noel had been pacing back and forth, making dramatic gestures, but now he stopped and dropped his hands to the side, looking at Ayzebel over his shoulder.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Or we do this like reasonable people. We see what needs to be done, we do it, we get paid with the shard, we go home. No one suffers just because of a little impatience."
-
The snow had been annoying but Irios had been better off than some of the others at least.
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"Blast this pointlessly cold water..."
As the conversation continued on he grit his teeth; there was hardly a right answer here but he wouldn't just stand silently by. Even if his contribution probably wasn't wanted.
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"And why should we care, hmm? Because it makes us feel better about ourselves because we did the 'right' thing? The quicker we get the shard and get out the quicker we end this whole quest. Besides, for all we know time is screwing us over as we speak, more reason to be quick about it."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSDisgust.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "And what would you know of right and wrong, Glass? Hmm? All you and your kind know is how to be murderous thugs. Do you know why anyone tolerates your little cult? Because you are useful idiots. All anyone has to do is cry wolf about Xatar and you pawns come charging in, salivating for blood."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I may not have much love for those below my station, but I don't want to see these people slaughtered for your entertainment just because they're inconvenient."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "Hmm, I'm not in charge here but of course we should consider forced recovery as a possible option! I will tell Ali about your plan." With that, Rosana hurried to her brother's side. She told him something, he told something to King Ethelred, and the white-haired giant moved away with a laugh, rejoining his fellow villagers few feet further away.
Aliberti stopped right at the front of the gates along with his sister. Seemingly informed now, he turned toward the others and waited for them to approach.
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "Ayzebel, how subtle you can be with... your sword?" He then spoke in a quieter tone, so that the natives wouldn't hear anything.
-
Noel pinched the bridge of his nose between his eyes.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Are you serious? We're really going to do this?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "If they won't give it willingly, yes."
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "I know that's harsh but Ali is right, we should do all we can to save our world!"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "So what did they want from us?"
-
Prince Aliberti blinked.
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "Oh, he didn't tell yet."
-
Noel's palm connected to his face with a resounding thump.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSFacepalm.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Right. Yes. Of course we don't know what he wants yet and we're already planning murder. Fantastic. I honestly don't know why I expected better."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Shouldn't we see what it is, then?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "If you do not have the strength to kill for the sake of saving our world, maybe I should ask Rashida back. You are right, we should go." Rosana sneezed as if to agree, and then the princelings moved forth in front of the group.
The villagers formed two lines between witch Prince's entourage was directed toward a large building made of timber and planks. It's roof had a thick layer of snow on top and a small wisp of black smoke rose from a wide chimney. One could think it was a forge...
...and not a large feast hall. Low tables were flanked from two sides by simple piles of hay and wool, seemingly used as seats. There was only one chair; made of bright wood and decorated with animal skulls and furs were used to cover the back and seat of it.
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Our guards dining hall looks more opulent than this."
(http://i.imgur.com/TFegUEf.png) "Shh, they might hear you. And who's that?"
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "How would I know?" They were referring to a blonde girl that was talking with King Ethelred. She was glancing at Prince and his companions from time to time. After a while, she looked at the Prince, brushed her robe, and stepped forward the group.
(http://i.imgur.com/78qBnRN.png) "Welcome, southerners, in our humble settlement. Our mead is yours, and so are our beds." King Ethelred stepped up to her and patted her on the shoulder.
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "This is Aenwynn, my only child." The girl grimaced, as if hurt by the label somehow. "If you need anything, just tell her and she will make sure to accomodate. Please, sit anywhere! My villagers are already making preparing flatbreads and roast the meat and fat."
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Thank you, kind, uhh, King. I didn't introduce everyone properly before. I'm Pri- I'm Aliberti, and that is my sister-" Prince Aliberti looked after Rosana, but she was already seated - right next to a big open fireplace surrounded by stones. "That's my sister Rosana there. And those are my... companions, yes. So, what business did you want to talk about...?"
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "Do not worry! One should not talk business on empty stomach and I'm sure you have spent some time traveling so far north. Come! We shall eat warm meat and drink cold milk and then sing!" Prince Aliberti let out a sigh before following King Ethelred, who sat down at the throne, and then seated Aliberti on his left hand side. He didn't look as if he was particularily pleased with his accomodations.
Rosana, on other hand, was already vividly chattering with two young maidens who listened to her with mouths open in awe.
-
Noel frowned. This wasn't his idea of nobility, but a king was a king, and therefore he was going to be on his manners. He approached one of the tables and seated himself in the lotus position on a pile of hay, smoothing his robes out beneath him as he did so.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Thank you, King Ethelred."
-
Aur sat down when indicated, trying to seat himself as best he can. Which is to say not very well, his armor hindering the motion as well as him being fearful of badly pressuring the joints of the armor. In the end he resigned to a sort of half-kneeling position, resting what weight he could on his standing foot instead of his leg laying down. He didn't look terribly comfortable.
Today, he regretted the decision to put on his faulds and tassets. He wondered how much time he'd lose removing them and if it was worth it to be able to sit comfortably.
-
In the snow
Ayzebel smiled at Irios' defence before turning to the Prince and speaking quietly.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png)"Subtly. Hitting a critical spot like a throat would kill him quickly without a scream. Even if that doesn't kill him instantly, I can poison my weapon to ensure the job."
----
In the hall
Ayzebel quietly took a seat near the Prince.
-
Noel looked over at Aur.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyebrow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "...That can't be comfortable. Do you need help?"
It sounded like he was offering assistance to be polite more than anything.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/mzRMGyr.png) "...I think my leg's asleep. Or I just can't feel it anymore, not sure which. Probably not concerning if my leg isn't glowing. Probably." The armored knight relented, frowning as he looked at his legs. He sighed and readjusted into more of a wide-stance squat now. It only looked slightly more comfortable, albeit liable to topple over if pushed.
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "I sort of expected that we wouldn't sit down on anything, but I can see now that's my fault. I'll just suffer in silence, don't mind me. I'm sure I'll find this a humorous lesson for later, yes."
-
Noel shrugged.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "If you're sure."
-
Miranda quickly sat down and made herself comfortable. This place reminded her of home! Well save for the bit where it was so much colder. Sooooo much colder. She was regretting her short sleeves right now.
-
Outside
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"At least we're more useful than a bookworm who would rather watch his entire world cease to exist than kill one man."
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"And last I checked, Heal staves save lives, not end them. Kindly explain how that is murderous in any way."
Inside
Irios took his seat next to Ayzebel and awaited whatever was to come next.
-
Outside
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Now you're putting words into my mouth. If there is no other choice, and we absolutely have to kill him to get his shard, then we will have to do so. But I'm not willing to argue for that to be our first resort. I'm sorry if you're too bloodthirsty to understand simple concepts such as an order of plans, or attempting to upset the balance of other worlds as little as possible."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "And I don't care if you beat him to death with your staff or if she does it with her blade. You're the one arguing to just do it out of hand, as if we have no other options. You share the blame for her actions by supporting them, the same as what the Prince does reflects on those of us who are helping him. And THAT is why I am hoping to do things the right way."
Inside
Noel placed his elbows on his knees, steepled his fingers, and rested his forehead against them with his thumbs against his chin and his eyes closed.
-
Maribel simply sat somewhere closeby to the fireplace, making sure to get as much snow and moisture out of her clothing as possible.
-
The meat and the milk was brought as mentioned earlier, and water was available as well. The fireplace was well stocked with firewood all the time and the buzzling flames have filled the hall with heat, warming even those at the far side.
While the Prince's entourage was chatting and eating, the Prince was seemingly discussing with King Ethelred, the two almost arguing. It continued for a while before King Ethelred suddenly slammed his fist against the low table. Silence fell upon the hall almost instantly.
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "That is out of the question! I shall not part with the ring nor any of its part just because you ask me to, young man!"
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "I insist. We basically require your ring for... for survival!"
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "Hmph! I don't see how a trinket can be required for living! Do you know how many people have worn it? Do you know how many beasts were slain by its magicks? This is the pride of our village. You know nothing of it, yet you covet it!"
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Please, let's be reasonable while we still can. What would you like us to do to obtain the ring? Name your price, King Ethelred on the Mountains."
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "Harrumph! As if! Maybe if you learn something about how important this ring is to us, then you might understand!"
Prince Aliberti furrowed his brows, thinking for a while...
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "I'm..."

Outside
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"And I'm sorry that you are so ignorant as to judge a book by it's cover."
When Noel dared suggest Irios was just another mindless killing machine he stormed over and glared down at the junior scholar, his words a harsh whisper.
(http://i.imgur.com/fV0XChP.gif)"Listen here, you little hypocrite. You just accused me of putting words in your mouth and now you do the same. No, actually, you are far worse for you have purposely looked passed the obvious to paint me to your liking. You don't know what I went through in that damn sect, nor do you care to I imagine. But know this, I am not a mindless killing machine; I couldn't live with myself if that's all I was."
(http://i.imgur.com/fV0XChP.gif)"But if you think you're right, then continue to paint me as some mindless doll who can only kill. I'm not above poisoning some rats on my own time."
With that Irios turned away from Noel and left the mage to whatever it is he would do after that, blocking out any sort of reply as he took his place next to Ayzebel.
Inside
Irios wasn't shocked by the king's stubbornness, only more convinced they should've acted when the could and more worried about time.
-
Ayzebel's expression did not change beyond a slight shift of her brow, but it was clear to those who knew her what her thoughts were: we should have killed him straight away.

Noel watched the priest walked away with a snort of derision.

Noel took out his journal. It was too bad no one else could see how important interdimensional travel was. The things they could learn from other worlds... the exchange of technology, magic, fresh ideas... the possibilities were limitless. That's why it was important to make a good first impression with the locals and learn what they could both of and from them.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "...willing to listen to the story." King Ethelred laughed and then patted Prince Aliberti on his back; the armor thudded under the heavy hand of the chieftain.
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "Now even you are being reasonable, young man! It all have begun when my great-great-great-great-mother Svella, her six children, and her servants left the village of Koln in the southern mountains and migrated here. They have braved the Forest of Death and the Field of Exposure, but without losing a single man or woman or child. But when they have came to this very spot at which this meeting hall stands, Svella saw a pine tree so big that its tip was hidden in the clouds. My great ancestor of course decided to have the tree removed, and she lifted her axe, and then a voice boomed, 'this tree is sacred! You are not allowed to strike it with your ax or I shall curse you.' And then Svella responded, 'but I have to build shelter for my people to save them from incoming winter! I will cut this tree and build houses from it and I will deal with even ten curses if I have to!' So she began to cut down the tree, while her beautiful body turned old and wrinkled and her long blonde hair turned short and white of old age." King Ethelred took a sip of milk.
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "The tree fell down and now the first villagers began to cut it into planks and firewood and blocks to begin construction, but then the same voice as before said 'owner of any and every building made from this sacred tree's lumber shall be sick and bedridden for whole year!' And my great-great-great-grandmother have said, 'Then we will build only one house and it will be mine and it will be large enough to fit everyone inside, so none of my people have to suffer!' And then our meeting hall was built and people lived in there, caring for Svella who was indeed sick and bedridden for a whole year, barely counscious and able to eat-"
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "King Ethelred, there's nothing in this story about the ring at all-"
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "Shush, young man, I'm getting to it. So when the year have passed and Svella was on her feet once more, the villagers decided to use the remaining lumber for firewood. But as they left the hall, suddenly wild beasts appeared! Wolfbears, giant eagles, red-eyed ravens, frostlings, mammoths! All them began to harass the villagers. So my ancestor lifted her axe and went against the beasts, even if they numbered in hundreds. And the mysterious voice said 'Woman, be reasonable! You are alone and them are hundreds!' And so Svella said, 'Even if, I shall battle hundred beasts to protect my people!' And then from the woods came an elderly man in flowing robes, leaning against a wooden cane, and he said 'Stop, woman, you are as crazy as you are persistent. I am Hadvig, protector of these forests, and I shall grant you permission to settle here, if only you marry me out of your own will.' Svella, ever the pragmatic woman, have married Hadvig without hesistation. She gave him her ring, he gave her his spear, and they were faithful companions for next fifty years."
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "You mean, the ring you have?"
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "Yes, of course, because there is little metal ores in these mountains. The golden ring came from the south, from the homelands of my great-great-great-grandmother. The shard, on other hand, is a different story-"
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Wait, you mean there's more??" King Ethelred laughed heartily.
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "Haha, yes there is! Young man, I have barely begun!"
Prince Aliberti let out a sigh and ran a hand over his face. Then, he said...
//Din-don! More polling in the OOC thread for poor Aliberti!
-
Noel's quill flew across the page, the quiet scritching a counterpoint to the booming voice of the King.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Fascinating... Highly unlikely, of course, but a study of folklore could prove very insightful about the culture of these people..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Please continue, King Ethelred." Prince Aliberti rubbed his forehead some.
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "After Svella have died, her son Ulfric have become the leader of the people living in these mountains, but he was young and inexperienced and he wasn't a particularily noteworthy warrior. If he wouldn't perform a noble deed or some worthy task in his time, all would laugh at him and nobody would want to follow him. Therefore the elderly Hadvig have sent young Ulfric on a journey to slay the Dragon Kachmud that was living in the forests on the other side of the White Vastness to the west. Ulfric have toaken his faithful companion, Olaf, with him, as well as some supplies and the blade of black glass, which was said to be the only thing able to kill a Dragon."
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "Ulfric and Olaf have journeyed days upon days, and they have met the beautiful Sidhe maidens how gave them directions in exchange for offspring, and then they have battle the Mother of Wolfbears on a snowy mountaintop of Krul. With the Mother's pelt as their cloaks, they were sufficiently protected from the coldness of White Vastness. They have crossed the Vastness and emerged on the other side, facing yet more mountains and snow-covered forests, with naught a soul in sight. But then Kachmud descended from the heavens, his claws crushing Olaf and wounding Ulfric. Ulfric wept for his companion and promised Kachmud to feed him his own innards once he is done fighting the dragon."
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "So Ulfric fought with Kachmud amongst the trees and the icy hills, the black blade striking at the scaly skin and spilling the green blood. But Kachmud was a powerful dragon and so he bit off Ulfric's swordarm. Alas, it was the end of Kachmud, because the blade that he swallowed lodged itself in his throat and pierced it, then his ribs, before it pierced the skin and leaked out of the dragon's body. The blood of the dragon boiled the blade till only a small piece of black glass remained, and Ulfric took it. After burying his friend Olaf and lodging intestines between the dragon's fangs, as promised, my great-great-grandfather then begun journey east to his home. But his wounds were grevious, and his life was leaking away from him."
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "So, Ulfric have only managed to traverse through the White Vastness and reach the glade where the Sidhe maidens and their newborn sons were dwelling, and he perished in the arms of the white maidens. Sidhe arrived in our village, bringing us the shard of the black blade. Hadvig wept for days, feeling responsible for the death of the son of his beloved Svella. The smith of the village then had the shard embedded in the ring and Hadvig gave it to Svalbard, who was six, and who was destined to be the next King on the Mountain. After that, Hadvig left the village, still weeping, and no one saw him again."
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Wait, you said the blade is black, how come the shard-" Prince Aliberti bit his bottom lip - but it was too late! King Ethelred smiled.
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "I will tell you! During the reign of my grandmother, Duga the Wise, the winters became softer and the snow began to melt not in summer but in spring. It allowed us to venture forth and explore the lands to the south and north and west and east. We discovered other villages and we discovered the Large River in the south, that leads to southern lands, where people live in stone buildings and where sun scorches the ground and where snow occurs briefly in the middle of the winter. Magi began to visit us; traveling tricksters and warriors and scholars wielding magical weapons and rings. They had a golden ring with a white shard, and they have said that the black shard on the ring of my forefathers was cursed. So, free of charge, they offered an exchange; they would drain the magic of the black shard for their own purposes, thus making the shard on our ring pure and white. My grandmother have agreed and within a day, the black shard was white and the Magi have left as quickly as they came. Duga the Wise have passed the ring to my father, Aland, when she was on the deathbed, and my father Aland passed the ring to me when he himself was preparing for a journey to the afterlife. I've had it on myself all the time, young man, except the day my nephew Imlerith tried to seize it. But I shall not speak of him."
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Thank you!"
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "Do you know of Imlerith? Should I tell you about him, hmm? I can tell you if you insist, and hopefully you will never meet the boy."
//Din-don! Another poll in OOC thread!
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "I'm sure I've got the time to listen to yet another story, King Ethelred."
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "Hmmm hmmm... I never forget the day when young Imlerith came to our village. He was a son of a chieftain from other village to far east, and a dispute with his older brother saw Imlerith exiled from his house and village. Of course, here he was welcome as a stranger in need of bed and meal, and we brought him in as the ancient rules of hospitality dictate. Three years have passed the the young Imlerith turned into a strong, wise young man, whom nonetheless kept thinking about revenge against his older brother who cast him out like so. Every time he tried to go, I persuaded him to stay, to cast his old ties afar and to remain with us as a family. Once I even talked with him and Annwyn, hoping that the boy could marry her and thus take over the village when I finally begin the journey to the afterlife - you see, I have no heirs left, so therefore Imlerith would be most suitable to assist Annwyn when she becomes Queen on the Mountain. Alas, tis was not to be." King Ethelred patted his beard and closed his eyes for a while. He took a moment before continuing.
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "You see, what I was not aware of was that Imlerith has procured a valuable artifact from the Magi who last visited us twelve years ago, a sword of immense power. The blade was enchanted so that even hard granite could be cut through like a sheet of leather. That was a breach of our traditions, in which the King or Queen haggle and barter with the Magi for artifacts on behalf of every villager. When I confronted him about it, Imlerith admitted he bought the sword in preparation for the killing of his older brother. I said no, but he wouldn't listen. I demanded he stops, but he didn't listen. Therefore, I reached for my axe, and my axe-brothers similarily drew their weapons, but Imlerith was better. Two fell and I myself has been wounded on left hand before Imlerith fled away into the wilderness."
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "As we later learned, he killed not only his brother but also butchered his own village, leaving nor woman nor child alive, and then he wanted to return to our village and do the same for defying him. But this time we were prepared. With axes and spears we weakened his body and with magic of the druids we deprived him of his powers. Thusly he fled north to the caves were he broods, oft sending frostlings against us. Each winter the icemen get stronger and bolder, a clear sign that Imlerith is growing strong, alas, we have little powers against him, as he is protected by magic."
(http://i.imgur.com/78qBnRN.png) "That's because you don't allow Baldric to come and-" King Ethelred glared at Annwyn.
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "You're out of your place, my dear child. Sit and speak no more. I do not wish to hear his name spoken here again." Prince Aliberti looked dumbfounded as yet another character entered the vast and definitely dramatic history of this little norther village...
//...and should he ask for MORE HAPPY STORY TIME!? Let's poll!
-
Noel finished writing that story down.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) Hmm. I wonder if we were to suggest taking care of this Imlerith for them, if they would give us the ring as payment.
-
That old man could talk.
She knew she should have stabbed him. By the Creator.
The moon would have hit by the time he'd finished.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Can you tell me more about that Baldric?"
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "No!" King Ethelred furrowed his brows. "That scoundrel does not deserve a story about him." With that, the King began to eat and drink, and Prince Aliberti sat there, slowly munching on some meat while thinking.
//Doo-doo-doo-deeee. Pure diplomatic win no longer available!
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Is there something I... we can do to change your mind about the ring, though?"
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "Hmph." King Ethelred slurped down a piece of meat and then looked at Aliberti. "You can have patience when you are determined and I can see you are determined indeed. How about a duel of champions? One of my axe-brothers against one of your men. Or one of spearmaidens against one of your ladies. I would duel against you, but I'm afraid you would snap like a twig." Prince Aliberti grimaced at the remark, before leaning to Ayzebel.
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "Ayzebel, could you please ask others if any would be interested in a duel? I assume it will be axeman for men, and spearwoman for the women."
-
Noel sidled over to the prince to make a suggestion to him.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "What if we were to offer to track down and kill this Imlerith? We could trade his sword for the ring; their village would still have something to protect it, and we would have what we need to save the lives of our people."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Hmmm, that's some idea." Prince Aliberti turned toward King Ethelred.
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "King Ethelred-"
"King Ethelred! King Ethelred!" A young man ran into the meeting hall. "Howling! Beasts are coming! Frostlings for sure!!" King Ethelred and the feasting villagers stood up. The King frowned for a moment.
(http://i.imgur.com/4lMKaiE.png) "In the middle of a feast? Bah! Such a nuisance. We will make with the duel later. Stay here, it is dangerous outside now." With that King Ethelred, men, women and even the girls left their seats and left the meeting hall, preparing for fighting.
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "I don't have to say that we won't be sitting here waiting?" Prince Aliberti stood up and brushed his pants. "My legs were starting to hurt anyways."
-
Kerr grinned, pulling his lance out of the back sheath he had with a slight twirl.
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Oh good. I was getting tired of listening to those stories anyways. Perhaps you and the princess should stay back though? If the enemies are truly as dangerous as they suggested..."
-
Noel wasn't sure how much use he would be in this magic-dampened realm.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I suppose I don't have any objections to going out and seeing these creatures."
-
Giuseppina popped near instantaneously out of her seat.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Oh, uh, right! I'm ready I guess!"
After a brief pause, she got a little downcast.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Oh... it's monsters again, isn't it."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Monsters or not, helping King Ethelred might weasel us out of further quests for him. He might even give us the ring in exchange for our help, and I'm not gonna waste such a chance. Come!"
And the party rushed after the others, out into the cold, snowy village.
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "King Ethelred! We shall lend our weapons to your fight!"
(http://i.imgur.com/01pey99.png) "What? We do not require your help, and after all, you are guests! Go back inside, please."
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "Unfortunately we can't help but feel the urge to lend a hand!" King Ethelred looked a bit grumpy as his villagers waited for the enemies.
(http://i.imgur.com/01pey99.png) "Allright then! Be useful and check nearby houses. Ask for weapons and for late-comers to get out already!" Aliberti frowned just slightly.
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "I'm a warrior, not an errand boy." He mumbled quietly, making Rosana giggle.

(http://i.imgur.com/31cyjdw.png) "So what exactly is a frostling?" she asked a nearby archer.
-
"Oooh, it's an unfortunate traveller that died in these mountains. It's mind is gone, it's soul trapped, and it's body frozen. Beware their chilly touch! It will numb and slow you down."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fWVIvst.png) "..."
Miranda let out a quiet whimpering noise.

Noel took notes.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "So that's what happens to anyone who dies in these mountains?"
-
"No! These are the only ones that have been raised using terrible magicks! All others sleep peacefully under all the snow and ice."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I see. If they are creatures of snow and ice, then would that make fire effective against them? Or is the magic animating them also protecting them from that?"
-
The archer shrugged. "Why not maul them instead, like always?" Said nearby axeman.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "It would help to know these things, to plan more efficient defenses for your village."

Ayzebel spoke quietly to Irios, a pointed look going his way.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png)"If it comes down to it, let them be hurt over taking too much risk. You're too important to have another nap on the battlefield."
As she spoke, she applied a colourless liquid to her weapon, careful to avoid it getting on her hands. She didn't know if poison would work, but it was still worth a try.

Maribel heard the conversation about the frostlings, and sighed deeply.
(http://i.imgur.com/pWpYrBj.png) "A..Are undead just... Always around, no matter where we go?" Looking around, she saw that Kerr had already advanced, and if anything, she would prefer having someone far closer to those undead than her.

The knight watched his allies dash off but he knew he wouldn't catch up to them at this rate. Aur frowned, before spying the horseman on their team: Hafiz.
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Hey, Hafiz. Think you can help me reach the front quicker? I'd appreciate the hand."
Aur moved to 10,20 and asked Hafiz for a lift.

Irios felt a chill go down his spine and a guilty look appeared on his face.

(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"And you know how I get when I watch people die in front of me, it's just not something I've ever really been able to stomach. I end up feeling like if I can prevent it, I should."

17-15, Dance rainbow hair again

(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"You're a bit odd, you know that, right? Not in a bad way, just saying though."
Kerr to 21-14, investigate house
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Hello? Anyone in here? We've got a fight going on out there..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/K5ZtBPj.png) "Oh, I'm the odd one? Your head of hair is as flamboyant and as eye-catching as the entertainer's uniforms, more colourful too." Maribel snickered, smirking at Kerr.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"Yeah, well, this wasn't exactly my choice of color..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/pWpYrBj.png) "Oh, was it not? Who meant so much to you that you'd let them dye your hair like that then? Since I personally can't see myself ever letting somebody do that to my hair.."
-
Miranda turned around to go check on the house to her right. Anything to get away from those icky undead! Unfortunately her dreams were shattered by Kerr beating her to the punch. With a sigh she turned back to the entrance and trundled her way to 15,13. Might as well get this over with.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"It wasn't like... I lost a bet. To the prince. So now I have rainbow hair. That's all."

A young man in thick coarse beard approached Kerr.
"Ahhh, my leg is still not good. But here, take the bow I recently crafted and put it to a good use. Or just give it to one of our hunters."
Kerr gets Short Bow!

Sounds of knocked furniture and rummaging about came from behind the door, before the door was opened and a young woman, with her brown hair in state of complete discord, appeared.
"Oh, yes, I took a nap, am I late? No? Thanks for waking me up." She then placed a kiss on Noel's forehead and marched out of her house, ready to fulfill her duties to the village.

"King..." King Ethelred let out a hum, hearing one of the spearladies note the crushing sounds from the north.

(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "Giants?... King Ethelred, what are those 'giants'?"

Suddenly the trees gave way, collapsing into the snow as two humanoids, at least ten feet tall, emerged from the wilderness. One carried a small tree trunk as a weapon, the other had a stone-hammer, its head a shaped boulder.
The other monsters became agitated and growled and groaned at Aurelian almost excitedly.

One of the hands under Noel's left foot detached itself and made a beckoning gesture.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Most are. The truth is the darkness holds little that the light does not. There is no need to fear this - or me, unless you've wronged me, and you have not."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Oh don't worry. Nothing I'm seeing is scaring me."

Noel again raised an eyebrow.

Noel returned his attention to the north, watching the creatures through the small gaps in the palisades and mentally logging details for later.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Gotta admit, I expected more 'holding back the horde with all I had' instead of 'watching them watch me watch them watching me'."
(http://i.imgur.com/MIFFo54.png) "Rather smart for beasts and monsters really. Almost like they can think." The knight hmm'ed at this, wondering this while he HELD THE LIIIIIIIINE.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSmirk.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "They're waiting for their strongest to get to the gates first. They plan to break our defenses against them and then roll over the rest of the town when there's less chance for casualties on their side. That's my guess."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "So what I'm understanding is that if we break their strongest then they'll lose their morale. If they're smart enough to bother with this, they probably understand the concept. Sounds simple enough."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "We'll crush their spirits and their bodies."
Noel nodded to Aurelian.

Giuseppina continued to entreat the axemen in front of her to move out of the way a little.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"No, really, I would really appreciate one of you moving to the side a little, please! I don't want to be the only one of my group stuck back here!"
-
Maribel sighed as she saw everyone moving past the axemen, the prince & princess excluded... And Giuseppina? She seemed pretty unhappy. Waving at her, Maribel moved towards her.

Coughing, Hafiz learned the hard way that not only these wolves had claws sharper than he'd assumed, they were also coated with a handful of unpleasant substances.

Hafiz to 13,11; shoot at wolf A; then to 12,11.

Aur gives the javelin back to his brother Kerr. "No, you'll need it more than I can. I gotta stay focused or they might slip past me, just make sure none stay for long, yeah Kerr? Heh, these guys won't even get close enough to me to strike, just watch. I know a thing or two about area control." He gave his brother a big smile as he went back to manning the front lines.

Giuseppina waved lightly (and nervously) at Noel, who she'd seen was rather mean... but nonetheless she moved up to his former position and nervously stared at the palisade in front of her.

Noel nodded back at Giuseppina in acknowledgement, but his words were directed at Ayzebel.

Hafiz sighed (and coughed) as he noticed the monsters quickly formed a wall again, keeping their distance once more.
(http://i.imgur.com/GedhtKW.png) "Oh, for the love of..."
Taking his horse's reins, Hafiz maneuvered past Aurelian once more to attempt another shot at the grouped horde.
Hafiz to 12,9. Shoot Frostling D, return to 12,11 if it hits.
Pray to hit.
A lot.

The frozen body stared at Hafiz all the way he rushed forth, launched an arrow, and ran back behind Aurelian.

The giants moved forth and with single swings of their weapons, smashed the palisade, widening the entrance and thus making Aurelian's defense much less useful.
Then all the frostlings and the wolves released a chorus of war cries, growls, screams and howls, rushing forth. Giuseppina and Kerr both took a blow!

Giuseppina took a deep breath, lifted the surprisingly light red steel axe over her head, and began to run through the snow at the giant creature.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Aaaaaa!"
And then she swung!
14, 8, chop the giant with the fireax!

Giuseppina struck the giant between legs and it fell downwards with a pained scream.

Giuseppina plopped her ax into the snow and let out a long relieved sigh, albeit slightly buzzkilled by Noel.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"It... well... it was the easiest thing to reach."
-
Noel waved it off.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Well, at least the monster's dead."
-
Hafiz to 9-11, grab Chance
Kerr to 9-10, stab the monster
-
The last monster was unsteady on its feet, and she easily dodged its clumsy strike.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "It is almost destroyed... finish it."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Was already on it."
-
And Kerr manly brought down the last frozen corpse.
Hit: 106+10-13 = 103, autohit!
Damage: 14-8 = 6dmg
~~Chapter 2 Complete!~~
(http://i.imgur.com/01pey99.png) "Ha! Splendid work! Third time without casualties! That is a progress."
Prince Aliberti looked at the carnage, while Rosana moved between the villagers who began to disperse.
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "So what now?"
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "I hope King Ethelred is willing to part with his trinket." Aliberti looked around. "Thanks for finishing this mess, Kerr."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Of course! I needed a little bit of fun, and spent too much of that battle flat on my back turning the snow red. So it was good to get a final shot in."
-
Noel took his journal back out and began to write down the things he had observed during the battle - the monster's weakness to fire, how King Ethelred and his forces fought, and a personal comment in the margins about how damned annoying wolves were to try to fight.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "Please try not to bleed that much. I'm always worried when... people under my command get hurt." He then looked around.
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "Where did King Ethelred go?" Indeed, King Ethelred was already missing as few remaining villagers went on to drag the monster and undeaded corpses onto one pile.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "He's around somewhere, I'm sure. Could I borrow a knife? And you over there, please drop that monster corpse. No, not the undead human, I have no interest in that one."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Psh. It's fine. Though, we could probably use some healers to look at Chance. He took a couple hard hits."
-
Aurelian sighed with relief now that the monsters had all be killed. He shivered violently as his body worked out that unnatural chill, warming up now that it wasn't in panic mode. It only took a few moments before his wounds were mended.
(http://i.imgur.com/f5OCIB7.png) The knight whirled back towards the town around and thrust his lance in the air in celebration. "Alright! That was awesome! Put down some monsters and nobody died! Man, did you see King Ethelred go? He's crazy good."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/lzfpry6.png)"Hey, you weren't half bad yourself, little bro. Those monsters wouldn't go anywhere near you. You gave us the time to all get into positions. So good work."
He ruffled Aur's hair affectionately.
-
Noel looked a bit miffed. No one had been willing to lend a knife and his polite request to save a corpse for dissection had been totally ignored. He made a note about stubborn rubes in the margins and closed his journal, tucking it back into his robes.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSDisgust.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Yes, well. I suppose Ethelred would be if he has to deal with this often."
-
Aurelian looked embarrassed when Kerr ruffled his hair, but was in too good of a mood to let that faze him.
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Still find it funny that they had an easier time getting through the walls than me. Glad I never got close to one of those giants though, didn't want to see how that match up would of gone." After a moment, Aur realized something. "OH! Right, this is yours. Thanks for letting me use it, although man those wolves are hard to hit." The knight returned the crude javelins to Kerr.
(http://i.imgur.com/3zLpA1M.png) The knight looked to Noel. "Yeah, he would have. He said this was the third time without casualties, right? Wonder how often they attack."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "It can't be too often. If they only attack during the cold part of the year, maybe twice a year? I don't see them having the forces to attack more often than that, and more than that would likely end with the villagers eventually getting overwhelmed."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSMellow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Of course that depends on the weather here... maybe the cold season is a lot longer?"
Noel put his hand to his chin and thought about it.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Yeah, that sounds right. They probably wouldn't have as well fortified a position as this if those giants attack often, they just tear through those wooden walls. We can ask one of the locals, they would know more. They'll probably be in a good mood too, considering." The knight offered. It was notable that he was avoiding looking at the strange hands holding Noel aloft, looking at a spot above the shaman's head.
-
Giuseppina slung her axe back over her back before raising her arms in victory and trudging back towards the group, grinning.
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"Yes! We did it! We won! Giants, ice things, we beat 'em, they're no match for us! (Or King Ethelred!)"
-
Noel didn't notice Aur avoiding looking at his feet, as he was lost in thoughts, possibilities, and calculations.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "What would really help would be some sort of flammable substance or resin. They could dig a trench around the village, just outside the palisades, and put wood and resin in it, then light it when the monsters attacked..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Mage!" Ayzebel called to catch Noel's attention. Her hand flickered, and a tiny knife flew to embed itself in the snow just before the hands holding aloft Noel's feet: too small to combat, the blade was barely an inch long, but still razor sharp.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I'll want that back." she joined in the conversation. "Yes, that was a rather successful defence; well fought, all."
-
Maribel sighed, and walked over to the nearest corpse, poking it a couple of times with her foot.
(http://i.imgur.com/K5ZtBPj.png) "How gross.. Why would someone even make these..?"
-
A shadow hand picked it up and passed it up to Noel; he took it and tossed it underhand back at Ayzebel, where it landed in the snow about two feet in front of her. He didn't exactly have a strong throwing arm.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Eh, thanks anyway, but the opportunity already passed. They burned the body I was interested in. All that's left are the reanimated humans, and I doubt their inner workings are much different from ours."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "As you wish."
Ayzebel hooked a boot-tip on the knife, flicked it up into the air, and caught it, the blade disappearing back into her cloak.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Ooh, yeah, that could help. I bet a solid, stone wall would make these attacks trivial. Doubt they have the infrastructure or quarry for that though, so a pointless thought probably." The knight mused.
(http://i.imgur.com/3zLpA1M.png) "Honestly, I'm more curious why they're attacking. Having stared down most of them for a minute or so, I can pretty well confirm they aren't mindless. Is there something directing them to attack here?"
The knight waved at Guiseppina as she walked over, pumping an arm in the air with shared celebration.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Hm, another good question. One I would like to investigate, because it's very likely magic directing them, and that sort of knowledge could be very useful indeed."
-
As the last beast was slain and the villagers went about cleaning up the bodies Irios went around healing those with the noticeable wounds, healing the more severe ones first. As such, he ended at Guiseppina.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"Nice job with that giant."
-
Giuseppina waved cheerily back at Aur, before finding herself addressed by Irios.
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png)Ah, thanks! It wasn't really all that much, though, the others did most of the work."
-
Ayzebel stepped up besides Irios.
(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "Do not dismiss your efforts. You did well." She looked at Irios and spoke dryly. "And Irios did not feel the need for a nap mid-fight, so all is well."
No, she hadn't forgotten about that, but she offered a smile to show it was jesting rather than scathing.
-
Giuseppina blushed a little at the praise and looked down.
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png)Nah, not really, I only managed to get at it because everything else was already dead and all, and I missed all the other times..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"But you managed to stay up though, which made my job a bit easier."
(http://i.imgur.com/k7qS0em.gif)"Really, we could use another healer..."
Irios let out a nervous laugh.
(http://i.imgur.com/TtTsQnd.gif)"Y-Yeah, must've been this bracing cold that kept me awake. Haha..."
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"...you know... I almost get the feeling they didn't actually even need us for defense, but... I dunno, hopefully they'll still give us the thing...?
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Well, we did do most of the work and none of them died, so they'd better respect that."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "Indeed. Without us, I imagine they would have lost some of their own. "
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hUnY1ad.png) "Yeah, they... Probably would of just smashed through the wall the archers were behind and come on in, instead of us forcing them around and into the bulk of their melee. That would of been bad." Aurelian agreed with the others as he looked at the smashed palisade.
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "To be honest, little surprised they didn't just try to avoid the gate entirely if they could just smash through. Would of also been bad."
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png)I mean... yeah! We were, like, the bulwark protecting most of them, right? Well, I guess that's Aurelian, but us too!"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "Well, the gate was still the weak point. If they tried to batter down a wall, they'd still be choke-pointed easily... I don't think they expected on your holding of the line, so to speak. Or perhaps it was just animal instinct, going for what looks weakest. Still, they must have had some intelligence for one of them, for the beasts, giants and undead to work together."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "Heheh, was just doing what comes natural to any Miccahn." Aurelian seemed embarrassed again, although this time by the praise.
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Yeah... I was expecting them to try and get past me or attack or something. Instead they just stared at me. Angrily. A little unnerving. I don't think it was animal instinct, or I vastly underestimate animal instinct."
-
Kerr smirked and commented to his brother.
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Well maybe it was they sensed the power of the Wolfgar brothers. Or maybe it was just they were put off by your smell."
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"...heh... I wish they'd just stood there and stared at me."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "Heheh, was just doing what comes natural to any Miccahn."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Miccahns can be just as cowardly and underhanded as anyone else, Aurelian. Even the nobility."
Noel sighed.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSFacePalm.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "...Nevermind. Let's head back to the fires, shall we?"
-
Aur was on the cusp of giving a retort to his brother when he was thrown off track by Noel's comment.
(http://i.imgur.com/3zLpA1M.png) "Wha? I'm sorry... About that?" It was an apology for the apparent harm, although he was confused by the non-sequitur.
(http://i.imgur.com/mzRMGyr.png) "Uhm... Something something blinding hair?" The knight flailed at recovering his retort, sighing. "Nope, I lost that one."
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"Going back to the fires, yes, that soun--"
Giuseppina realized something, recalling her tumble into the snow.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Oh wow it's freezing and I'm soaked."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "All the more reason to head back to civilization."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) Or what passes for it around here, I suppose.
-
Kerr had bristled at Noel's tone when talking about his people but shook his head and followed after the other group. He sighed quietly. It looked like his brother was getting close to some of the other members of the group, which was good to see, but he himself felt a little on the outside. And due to these adventures, he felt like he was getting further and further away from the prince too. Though, to be fair, that had been happening for a bit, since the news of the arranged marriage. The prince had gotten distant after that. But he was probably imagining things. At least he was a part of this group.
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"Yes, by all means!"
Giuseppina sped up, sloshing through the last of the snow before hitting the dirt road and starting to run back along to the fires, jewelry jangling mightily as she did so.
-
The shaman led the way back to the fires, his height slowly lowering as the hands formed a staircase for him to descend back to ground level. Once near them, he sat cross-legged and held his hands out to the flames to warm them.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "It seems it's going to take awhile for the king to return, and for the villages to burn all the bodies. We might as well sit and wait in... relative comfort."
Once everyone was seated, he looked to Kerr.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I saw the look you gave me a minute ago. Is there something you want to say to me?"
(Noel is also Miccahn, Sword. :P Also he's kind of a lonewolf douchebag ball of low-level hatred and disdain shaped like a man so it's hard to think of ways he could actually start a conversation with someone else, so sorry if that feels like metagaming. >.>)
-
Chance, barely holding himself steady after Irios sealed his wounds, stared out at the expanse after the others left, with the many monster corpses being gathered by the villagers.
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "...Rh!" Grunting in frustration, Chance pulled out his fire tome and attempted to shoot a flare at the pile of snow where his target stood a few minutes ago. A little bit of vapor shot up from the spot, and quickly condensed back towards the ground. Nostrils flaring, the mage clapped the tome shut and continued staring out towards the forest, quite ignorant of the cold.
-
Kerr looked up at Noel, and then shook his head.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"No, nothing. I just love it when people insult my nation. Carry on."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyebrow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "It's mine by birth as well. That doesn't mean it is flawless."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Doesn't mean you need to be a jerk about it. Especially to my brother who was just being excited."
-
Aur followed the others back to the fires, the cold from his armor soaking into his aketon underneath finally. Maybe he should bring a tabard or gambeson next time? He contemplated possible wardrobe additions on the way back, but noticed something was amiss. The knight took in the scene of the snowy 'fort' around him, the snow red and covered in splintered wood by the gate yet inside the walls was seemingly peaceful.
The knight stopped next to Chance and looked out towards the forest for a while. Aurelian looked to the blond mage soon after.
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Hey, its cold out here. The rest went back to the lodge. Want to join us?" He pitched a thumb the direction everyone else went.
-
Heedless of the brewing argument between Kerr and Noel, Giuseppina sighed in relief as she sat near the fire and felt herself start to warm up, and played idly with the two red locks of hair that framed her face. She detached her shoulderplates, taking off the straps that held the plates to her shirt, and set them on the ground next to her.

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Perhaps so, but he was wrong. Bravery does not come naturally to every Miccahn, the same as every other known people. He shouldn't share the credit with those that have not earned it. That is all."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"So it's your job to correct every mistake that someone makes? He was clearly just excited after the battle. Maybe you should mind your own business and keep whatever anger or grudge or thing you have to yourself instead of raining on everyone else's parade."
-
The mage flinched, apparently not noticing the knight next to him.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Eh?" Chance hurriedly struggled to re-tether his fire tome to his belt, "Oh, my apologies, I did not notice. Where I come from, the cold is not much of an issue. But no, I was... attempting to gather my thoughts on this world. I would rather not keep you from the hearth." He gestured towards the lodge, apparently meaning Aurelian to take the lead.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hUnY1ad.png) "Ah, sorry, didn't mean to surprise you." Aur hastily apologized, holding his hands up in an attempt to show he didn't mean harm.
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "You don't have to come in for my sake, my padding helps against the cold well enough." The knight lied. "I was..." The man moved his hand to scratch the back of his neck, but immediately regretted the attempt once cold metal touched his skin.
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) He came clean, figuring it worse to waste time finding the right words. "You didn't seem, well, happy. Is everything okay?"
-
Irios made a "tch" noise.
(http://i.imgur.com/VRxdjfS.gif)"I wouldn't bother Rainbow head. That seems to be what he does best."
-
Chance's mouth slanted, and an eyebrow raised.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "...Merely annoyance over a couple of setbacks. These places do like to play havoc with my senses, and it is impairing my ability to fight. Nothing more." He looked aside and grit his teeth, apparently at himself, but quickly turned back.
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "Padding or no, armor as complete as yours will act as an sink for heat beyond compare. If you feel warm now, it is likely a side effect of the adrenaline provided by the combat. It will wear off soon, and I would rather not be the one explaining to your brother as to why our premier vanguard's skin had fused to his armor, hm?" Chance, quite dryly, attempted at a joke.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Hahahahaaa... Yeah probably best if we head in. That sounds horrifying, glowing magical healing aside, and I'm not sure which would hurt worse: the armor or my brother never letting that die."
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "So, where are you from that makes this cold bearable to you? I'm guessing somewhere north of Zorostrian?" The knight asked as he began to make his way back to the lodge, trying not to hold the levitating mage back too much with his slower trudge.
Maybe the knight was being too presumptuous? Aur accepted the answer for now.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"So it's your job to correct every mistake that someone makes? He was clearly just excited after the battle. Maybe you should mind your own business and keep whatever anger or grudge or thing you have to yourself instead of raining on everyone else's parade."
Noel shrugged.

(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"I don't really care what sort of terrible jaded world view you have. I would rather you not thrust it on him. So yeah. Maybe don't do that in the future."
-
Noel chuckled.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSmirk.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Did I touch a nerve, Kerr? Is it because you know I'm right?"

(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"And it's more like recognizing your high horse, which you constantly refuse to dismount, halfway from here to our own world and trying to get Rainbow head to spend his time on something not worthless."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "...Kovalia. I am not sure if my presence has really... settled in Zorostrian, but I am doing what I can. It is not every man who has a chance to serve in this capacity, after all." Chance's jaw loosened for a moment as he watched his feet, ensuring the magic he paced into them harmonized just enough not to disturb the snow below, "Of course, you and your brother seem to be quite amiable with the prince. Yet, you said you were from Micciah?" The mage seemed like he would continue, but he caught himself before he voiced his next thought.
-
Noel laughed off Irios's jibes with a dismissive wave of his hand.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSmirk.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "At least I know his name. Though, I am curious. What would you consider not a waste of Kerr's time?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/k7qS0em.gif)"Today I learned nicknames mean you don't know someone's name. I wonder what I'll learn next from these useless chats." He seemed to be talking to himself more than Noel.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"Things that don't involve you. To be quite honest, I think I've discovered your true purpose: it's to waste our time. I can't come up with any other reason for you to nitpick anything and everything and at the same time be so naive as to think you're actually doing something worthwhile with the time you spend doing it."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "Ooh, Kovalia? I hear the geography there is similar to Miccah, although I can't say I know much about the area beyond some basics."
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Yes, we're both from Miccah. Kerr traveled there with our father to help train their wyvern riders when he was young, although I stayed in Miccah until recently. Kerr and prince Aliberti have been friends since they were kids." The knight explained. "Some... Aren't too fond of Zorostria at home. But the Crimson Moon threatens everyone, Miccahn or Zorostrian. Prince Aliberti has the best chance of saving the world."
As he finished, Aurelian opened the door to the lodge and entered with Chance. The wave of heat from the fires brought a wide smile to the knight's face, feeling the warmth immediately.
(http://i.imgur.com/f5OCIB7.png) "Ah, blessed warmth." He hurriedly found a good spot next to the fire and spent the next few moments merely basking in the heat.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I fail to see how I'm wasting anyone's time. It seems to me we're waiting on things to happen. I'm hardly stopping you from going and doing something else, if you wished."
Noel shrugged. Facts out of the way, he could address other issues.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "As for 'nitpicking', I seek knowledge. Is it a sin to want to know how things work, or point out how or why something is wrong so it can be improved upon in the future? I understand a mutual distaste bordering on hate between your Sect of Glass and I, but surely you can't find fault with the pursuit of truth. It just so happens my truth is different from yours."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/VC4jPAA.gif)"I assure you that my dislike and apparent border line hate of you is purely personal. I don't give a damn about what you think of the Sect or what the Sect thinks of you; I'm my own man pursuing my own goals."
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"And yes, if we are to classify a sin as a wrong then I would classify your method as sinful. You claim to seek knowledge, and I will concede that you do posses some, but it seems to be goading rights that you truly seek. To always be right, to point out every 'wrong' and then trample the opposing view with generalization and 'facts'."
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"And that may be your truth, I don't know and can't say I want to know. But I will tell you what it looks like to my truth. It looks like a grab at attention, a desperate struggle to enter relevancy and command some form of respect for some unknown reason."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/Work/IriosDILLIGAF.PNG) "Or I could be wrong and it's just that you're severely lacking in tact."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Ugh, forget it. I don't need this now."
Kerr stood up and walked away from the arguing members of the group, finding an unoccupied area and sitting down there, massaging his temples as he did. This wasn't the way to get closer to the group and if he was honest with himself he'd been being a tad hypocritical with Noel back there. Though Irios had been quick to jump against the shaman, if he was being honest, Noel had some points. It was just Aur... He sighed. He just wanted Aur to be happy.
-
Prince Aliberti have returned inside, tossing up a golden ring with a shaped piece of crystal, and acknowledged Noel with a nod.
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Noel? Did you see Chance? I need his help with the artifacts, now that we have negotiated the ring from King Ethelred."
(http://i.imgur.com/TFegUEf.png) "Psh! He gave it after you asked nicely, I wouldn't call that 'negotiations', Ali." Aliberti looked at Kerr.
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "And why is he sitting all the way there? Kerr!" The Prince pocketed the ring and moved toward his friend. "Everything allright?" Rosana watched her brotherly intently.
-
Kerr gave a shrug as the prince came closer. He couldn't help but think back to what Noel had said about rumors. Rumors about him and the prince. And then about the engagement. He sighed.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Yeah, I'm fine. Just... had a bit of a headache or something. Needed a bit of space, that's all. Would have gotten a breath of fresh air if it wasn't so cold out."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Knowledge and arrogance tend to go hand in hand. If one truly is right, then it is also their duty to 'point out every wrong and trample the opposing viewpoint' as you put it. If I were to insist the sky is green and the grass is yellow, I'm certain you'd feel compelled to correct such obvious ignorance. And you would be right to do so."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSMellow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "As for your comment about truth, I don't particularly care what students think of their teacher, only that they remember the lessons. You're probably right about tact, because I see little reason to hide who I am behind false smiles and honeyed words. Hate me if you wish; it matters little."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I respect your honesty and so I'll give you my own honest opinion in return. I do not particularly hate you or your companion; in fact, I would say I pity Ayzebel. You I have a little more respect for because you are showing willingness to think for yourself. As far as the Sect of Glass goes, I feel I've made my stance quite clear."
The prince interrupted then, and Noel turned to him.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I believe he and Aurelian are at the fire at the far end of the lodge, though if all you need is magic to verify the crystal I can take care of that."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "I see... well, we have the shard and we will be returning to the Palace, so the cold won't bother you anymore. Could you get... or wait, I will just ask someone else." With that, he walked back to Noel and others.
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Noel, please gather everyone here."
(http://i.imgur.com/TFegUEf.png) "Hey Aliberti, didn't King Ethelred want to talk business?..." The Prince shrugged.
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "We have the shard. I don't think his problems are our problems anymore." Princess Rosana let out a small huff, but didn't protest.
-
Kerr let out a sigh as the prince walked away. He caught himself watching the prince out of the corner of his eyes and abruptly turned away. He had a crush, sure, but it didn't matter. Even if the prince wasn't already engaged, the rumors that were apparently flying around the palace were unacceptable. He needed to keep a safe distance from his friend, for the sake of Ali's reputation. Maybe after all of this was done, he should just return back home. See his mother again. That might be the best way to handle this. He'd leave sooner but... he couldn't stand the thought of letting the prince venture forth into danger over and over like this without at least trying to help keep him safe.
-
Noel stood. The prince probably just wanted to separate him from Irios a bit, to give time for them to cool down. He didn't think he needed it, but he would respect Aliberti's decision.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Very well."
He walked over to Aurelian and Chance, letting them know to go to the main group, then went outside and rounded up Hafiz, Miranda, and Maribel too. Finally, he came back inside and went over to Kerr.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "It seems our leader has decided we're going home. Ready?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Yeah, he mentioned. Ready whenever everyone else is."
-
Noel nodded and held out a hand to help him up. Probably an absurd gesture, as he was sure Kerr had a few inches of height and probably fifty or so pounds of muscle on him; the shaman was actually rather scrawny by most metrics.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSMellow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "A personal question, if I may? While we're away from the group?"
-
Irios sighed; Noel actually did have some valid points that he couldn't refute. Maybe there was more to him than he originally thought; though he still had a big ego, that was indisputable.
Despite potentially going against Aliberti's wishes Irios responded.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"I think at this point we should agree to disagree. It's clear we will not see eye to eye on this and I fear more conversation will give way to more fallacious ad hominen."
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"But I will admit I may have judged you too quickly and too harshly." Irios paused a bit to think about something. He mulled it over long enough for Noel to get up and leave to gather everyone and approach Kerr. He thought about it some more and eventually pulled up his hood and approached Noel, speaking in a whisper that admittedly Kerr could probably still hear.
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"Would you perhaps, after we return to our world and then depart to another, be willing to speak with me about something? It would... help me. To be able to speak about it I mean."
-
Noel looked over.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyebrow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I wasn't expecting that request... but if you wish to talk, then we'll talk, when we have a moment."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/mp4mNoR.gif)"Thank you. The fact you will at least listen eases my mind a small bit."
With that he backed away and gave Noel and Kerr some space; he felt he had potentially interrupted something.
-
Ayzebel, for her part, watched silent. Her dead eyes gazed at Noel, the look the shark gives to the seal.
She decided that she'd kill Noel some day.
Pity her? Being rude to Irios?
Unforgivable. She'd kill him. Cut and slice and carve-
Her crimson thoughts were cut off as Irios shared a quiet word with the mage. What was that about...?
-
Kerr shrugged.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"You can ask whatever you want. No promises of an answer."
-
Chance, brushing off his cloak as he entered the Lodge, stood at attention.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Are we prepared to return, Prince Aliberti?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Yes, you have to energize the trinket. And I didn't want to ask Miranda."
-
Pulling his Fire tome into one hand, Chance held his other empty hand out.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Apologies I was unable to reach it the prior time... I am quite unable to see the brooch myself, if you could hold it out for a moment..?"
-
Miranda would have stuck her tongue out, but was too busy shivering.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSMellow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Is there any truth to those rumors?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Not that it's any of your business, but no. The prince is engaged and as far as I know quite happy with the engagement. He and I have just been friends for many years. That's all."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSMellow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "...I see. I won't bother you about it again."
Noel tilted his head toward the group to indicate he was heading back, then did so.
-
Kerr didn't quite know how to take the expression on Noel's face right now but gave a shrug.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Great. Yeah, lets go."
He headed back towards the rest of the group, sticking next to his brother and away from both Noel and the prince.
-
Prince handed the rose bracer thingy to Chance.
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Here you go."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Very well. Stay close, everyone." Chance, carefully this time, focused as he started to transfer magic from the fire tome into the brooch.
-
Nothing happened. Prince Aliberti was dumbfounded before he remembered something.
(http://i.imgur.com/ZnyTQ7t.png) "Oh right." With that, he pushed the button, exposing the wires and the gears, the latter which begun to whirl and spin. "Try now?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Incidentally," Ayz mentioned to Irios, "We need to talk once we have returned."
-
Chance, remaining silent, attempted again.
-
Once the energy began to flow, the Prince, Princess and their companions began to be engulfed in thick tendrils of magic.
Then there was crackling across the bracelet and tiny lightning and sparkles began to hit random bits of the air around in the hall. The villagers began to scream and panic and run away at this display of magic previously unseen.
The process was taking far too much time than previously. Is the weak magic of this world interfering...?
White-blue-red-pink-bright yellow lights flooded the eyes of everyone present... then pink-red-blue-silver-lime green as well, before there was thunderous boom and everyone splattered on a field of black dirt and dead grass. The air was still and stale and left a taste of ash in everyone's mouths.
Something was wrong.
Very, very wrong.
~~Chapter 3: Absence of Presence~~ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXlDDlEJP8c)
(http://i.imgur.com/h0dENBo.png) "This... what... this isn't the Palace."
(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "Thank you, Rosana, without your acute perception I wouldn't notice." Rosana let out a huff.
(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "Apologies, sister..."
(http://i.imgur.com/h0dENBo.png) "The air is very stale. And look! The grass is dark too. Have you perchance noticed, dear brother?"

(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "Yeah."

(http://i.imgur.com/h0dENBo.png) "Ali!"
(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "Heh. So." He looked around. As much as he could see, everyone in his group was transported to this place as well. "Anyone has any idea where are we? Are we in Miccah? I heard there are some sandy and dry valleys in there..."
-
Chance, reeling, grit his teeth as he came back to his senses.
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "It's... not the prior world... I wouldn't... quite call it ours either. Something's not right."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"This seems more like ash than sand. It isn't anything like I remember. This is certainly not Miccah unless something terrible happened. Does your sensor thing detect a shard here? Perhaps we simply got sent to another world instead."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Miccah isn't burnt and blackened like this, no."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Then we should be wary. We don't know what beasts may be about - monsters or men both."
She drew her sword, and held it low as she looked around for any structures or landmarks... or creatures.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "I thought this thing requires entire group of mages to direct us anywhere." Nonetheless Prince Aliberti pulled out the glass out of his pocket.
The black glass of the mirror was completely shattered.
(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "Oh fuck."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Ominous.."
-
Apart from ash and dirt-laden landscape, occasional burnt tree and mountains in the distance, there was nothing of note.
Ayzebel's eagle-like eyes did allow her to notice faint 'something' moving between the hills about kilometre or two to the east, opposite to the direction of the distant mountains.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/pWpYrBj.png) "T-Thats.. Really bad, h-huh... What does that even mean?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/h0dENBo.png) "How can you be so stoic, miss??" Princess Rosana adressed Ayzebel in just slightly panicked voice.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) Because she's a puppet of the Glass.
Noel started writing down the events in his journal.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "In good news, I can see something moving, amongst the hills." She pointed. "In bad news, I can see something moving, amongst the hills."
(http://i.imgur.com/h0dENBo.png) "How can you be so stoic, miss??" Princess Rosana adressed Ayzebel in just slightly panicked voice.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Oh, that's simple, Liege. I was raised to disregard extraneous things such as emotions."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/h0dENBo.png) "Hum. If that suits you, I guess? I pity the man who ends being with you, you don't sound like a relationship person..."
(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "Wait, what did you say?" Aliberti stopped staring mournfully (and slightly panicky) at the shattered glass of the artifact and walked up to Ayzebel. "Movement? Where?" He squinted his eyes at the distance. "What movement? I don't see anyone there."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Then I suppose we can be thankful we are not in a relationship, your Highness." Ayzebel remarked dryly before turning to Alberti.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "There was something between the hills... I do not think it was moving towards us, but more parallel. It is quite possible whatever it was did not spot us."
-
Kerr stretched slightly and pulled his lance out of the sheath he had across his back.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Right then. Tell me why we can't just use the device again to try and warp back?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "...you're right!"
He lifted the hand with the brooch and pushed the rose, exposing the gears and wires. The device was functioning normally.
(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "Chance! Do the thing!"
-
Shaking his head to break him out of his stupor, Chance quickly raised his fire tome again.
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "Right- yes. Of course." He didn't even hesitate to be careful this time, sparks flying as he attempted again.
-
Irios did not like this at all, pulling his hood further down until it obscured part of his vision. As Chance tried to send them back home he answered Maribel.
(http://i.imgur.com/fV0XChP.gif)"Whatever it means I hope we aren't stuck."
-
After a quick show of magickery, white-blue-red-pink-bright yellow lights flooded the eyes of everyone present, as it should be...
~~Chapter 3 Complete!~~

....then pink-red-blue-silver-lime green as well, before there was a sizzle and everyone was standing on field of black dirt and dead grass. The air was still and stale and left a taste of ash in everyone's mouths.

(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "I... Don't like this place." The knight looked less than happy that it didn't work.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"Damn! Ugh. Guess we'd better explore. Try and find out why we're stuck here."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I imagine the magic is trying to send us to a shard."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/mzRMGyr.png) Aurelian held his lance at ready. "I guess that's all we can do, Kerr."
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) At what Noel said, Aur nodded. "Sounds right. Maybe it'll send us back if we find it?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSmirk.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "We've nothing to lose by searching. If I'm correct, the magic has always placed the Prince near the shard, so it can't be too far away."
-
Giuseppina shrunk in on herself a bit as she surveyed the area.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"...this place looks worse than the first world..."
-
Miranda let herself fall to the ground with her arms outstretched. At the very least it was warm here, but-
(http://i.imgur.com/JZICgPl.png) "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
-
Swiftly Ayz knelt and clapped a hand over Miranda's screaming mouth. (http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Quiet. Sound carries."
-
Miranda eyes widened and did her best to nod while having a hand pressing down on her face.
-
Chance looked around with his teeth grit, and then at the brooch, his gaze intense enough to seem like he was trying to break it apart in his mind.
-
Irios quietly cursed to himself as the spell led them nowhere.
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"I suppose now we're supposed to cautiously follow whatever it was that Ayzebel saw?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hUnY1ad.png) "...Its the only landmark we've seen so far. I'd rather follow a lead than wander. Maybe... Its... Friendly?" Aurelian didn't sound so sure.
-
Giuseppina sighed mournfully.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Well, even if it isn't... we don't have much of a choice, huh?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I, for one, am curious about this new world. Let's see what was making this sound."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/h0dENBo.png) "They are right, Aliberti. We should go after the thing that green miss saw."
Aliberti let out a bit defeated sigh.
(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "Fine, then... let's go."
And so they did go after the thing, far in the hills, following what Ayzebel saw.
The more they closed the distance, the better view of the creature they had - unfortunately the hills grew taller and more often than not the being dissappeared behind a hill or a pile of rocks.
After particularily long time without seeing the thing, it emerged from a hill, and now they could see that it had two arms and human head.
And horse's body and four legs with hooves. It wore a simple grey tunic and was handling a bow. Several definitely dead creatures hung from the creature's 'back'; pair of small furry beings and grotesque winged reptiles, all the size of a cat at best.
The being - a centaur, straight from Kovalian fairy tales - was still moving away from Aliberti and company, its eyes fixed at something between the rocks and its bow at ready.
(http://i.imgur.com/h0dENBo.png) "That's a centaur! I saw something like that in one of Kovalian story books! But aren't Centaurs extinct, Chance?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) ""On our world, pethaps. Obviously that does not hold true here."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "Noel, go and uh, investigate. It has clothes and a weapon, try to find out if it's capable of speech." Prince undid the clasp of the brooch and passed it to the green-haired mage-boyo.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSMellow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I'm hardly a diplomat."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Nevertheless, the chance to investigate is intriguing. As you wish."
Noel took the brooch and approached, hands up and open to show goodwill.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Good day to you."
-
The centaur looked at Noel while Prince and others were around the pile of rocks, out of sight.
(http://i.imgur.com/BEPRt6i.png) "A Dweller!? What are you doing on the Surface? Do you have a death wish? Or are you an exiled criminal! You better explain yourself." With that, the centaur turned toward Noel and pulled the bowstring, ready to defend itself against the terribly unsavory and utterly savage criminal that was a green-haired twig in a robe.
-
Noel kept his hands up and at his sides.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I'm not from around here. I'm a magician and I accidentally traveled to this world. I mean you no harm. Would you mind explaining what a Dweller is? And would you mind if I took out my journal and took notes?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/BEPRt6i.png) "You don't know? Other world? A Dweller is a two-legs that was born to those who were lucky to escape underground when the sun became two."
-
Noel took that as implicit permission to write things down and did so, starting with a sketch of the centaur.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I see... the sun divided. So everyone left above ground became a centaur, such as yourself?"
Although they were probably too far back to hear his words, the party could probably hear how pleased he was to be conducting this interview. This was the sort of thing he enjoyed.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/BEPRt6i.png) "What, no, I am of monster tribe. There were also draconians. Humans can stand the darkness and heat of the caverns, but we monsters couldn't so we had to live in the twilight of the cave entrance and Fort Arrival when the draconians reemerged and waged wars over the cave with fire water in it. You need one of the human scholars to tell you details, I heard this from my mother. And where do you live?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I'm originally from Miccah, but recently I've been working under the prince of Zorostria as a scholar and librarian. We're looking for remnants of an artifact that was scattered among the parallel worlds; my role is document our travels and encounters, as well as provide magical assistance when needed. We were attempting to take a remnant home when the spell we were using to travel sent us here, so I imagine a remnant is in this world too."
Noel finished writing down what the centaur had told him.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "My name is Noel Schoech. What's yours?"
After receiving an answer, Noel continued.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "So, the monster tribe, the draconians, and the dwellers. What are the draconians like? And what sort of people are the monster tribe? Centaurs at least, but what else are they like?"
-
The centaur looked at Noel with expression of pure dumbfoundness. He didn't look convinced about the scholar's tale, either.
(http://i.imgur.com/BEPRt6i.png) "There is more of you?" The question came after he re-processed all that Noel have said.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Hmm? Oh, yes. A group of us. They're all a bit frightened, however; they're not as eager to explore as I am. If you'd like, I can show you some of my magic to prove my words."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/BEPRt6i.png) "I want to speak with your companions."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyebrow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "If they will come."
Noel turned slightly and raised his quill in the air, waving it back and forth slightly to indicate to his allies he was fine and things seemed safe.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/h0dENBo.png) "What does this mean?"
(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "I do not know, we didn't agree on any secret signs. Maybe he is just entertaining the centaur or something. A greeting perhaps?"
After a moment of staring at the quill, Akk crossed his arms on his chest.
(http://i.imgur.com/BEPRt6i.png) "You sure your friends aren't imaginary?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSDisgust.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Would you all quit hiding like scared children and just come out already?! This centaur thinks I'm crazy because of you!"
-
There was silence for a few seconds, before Princess Rosana got bold and ventured from behind the rocks.
(http://i.imgur.com/h0dENBo.png) "Sorry! We weren't sure what you were doing with that quill."
(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "If that was a secret 'all is well' sign please mention us before that. And please hand the brooch back." Prince Aliberti followed after his sister, and so did the others.
(http://i.imgur.com/BEPRt6i.png) "I see there is QUITE a few of you Dwellers. By the Code, I will herd you back underground else I shall leave you all here to die. What it will be."
(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "We are looking for a shard of a crystal ball. It could be stored somewhere under key or might be a piece of some larger item. Did you see anything like that?"
(http://i.imgur.com/BEPRt6i.png) "I do not dabble in magic, and I don't care. You have to consult some two-legs scholars." Aliberti extended his hand toward Noel to take back the brooch.
-
Kerr frowned.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"So all the people like us live underground. Perhaps we should listen to him. Find more humans and then try and see if they know anything about a shard."
-
Noel handed back the brooch, unsure why Aliberti had even given it to him in the first place.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "We might as well."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "It seems a better choice to seek a scholar underground, than to wander these wastes at random."
-
Horse person. He's a person that's a horse. How does he...
(http://i.imgur.com/fWVIvst.png) "Yes please. Let's get going. This place is way too weird."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Can't help but agree. Its just... Everything's ash."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I wonder if our world will be left even this, if we fail..."
-
Giuseppina opened her mouth, but then Ayzebel spoke and Giuseppina just closed it and stared, as the awfulness of the thought got to her.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "Lead us to them, then, please." The centaur looked at his back, counting the carcasses of the strange animals, and then, seemingly satisfied with the count, turned around and began to move toward the mountains - the direction from the group initially came.
The pilgrimage through the wasteland has begun. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WSMm7JOtHM)
//NPC: Akk the Centaur joins the party!
Prince Aliberti followed after the centaur, and Rosana after him, and others after her. Akk did not question the humans further, and the royal siblings didn't pester him either. The silent pilgrimage amongst the heaps of ash and dust and rocks wasn't followed, nor there was anything watching them.
Only once a feathered lizard reared its head from between the rocks, hissing at the humans, but Akk wasn't interested in hunting the little beast. The lizard got bored and scurried into safety of the hills after some time, anyways.
The mountains grew closer and closer, but there was no saying how long they were walking. The sun, dimly silver disc behind the thicket of clouds, remained in its place, not edging even the slightest toward horizon. Was it an hour? Was it five hours? Who knew.
Then, the eagle-eyed Ayzebel could see a large cave entrance at the base of one of the mountains, and a small grey tower, blending and hiding againgst the background of the hills just west of the cave. The centaur continued leading them toward the cave, not paying mind to the tower.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Cave coming up. There is a tower to its west, hard to spot. If we get ambushed , it will be soon. Be wary." Ayzebel spoke quietly, so the centaur would not hear - though it very well might anyway, considering there was little else sound but footfalls and wind.
-
Noel shrugged.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "If it happens, it happens. I don't think the creatures of this world are aware of exactly what challenge they will be attempting if they attack us."
-
Akk soon stopped, and looked toward the tower; everyone could see bright blue light emanating from it between the hills, possibly startling those who didn't see the tower.
(http://i.imgur.com/BEPRt6i.png) "Hm, the two-legs sentries have judged you. You can safely enter the underground and visit Fort Arrival, but no further for now. They wish to question you, too."
(http://i.imgur.com/yN08bQN.png) "I thought it will be other way around. It is I who have questions-"
(http://i.imgur.com/BEPRt6i.png) "Your desires can wait." With a stoic expression on Akk's face, and a grimace of displeasure on Aliberti's, the centaur continued forth, while Aliberti brooded.
(http://i.imgur.com/h0dENBo.png) "I guess neither my brother nor his outfit look important enough to get him everywhere, hm?" Princess Rosana whispered to Kerr, who happened to be near her left side.
-
Noel got out his journal, already ready to start writing down details of this 'Fort Arrival' and what sort of people they would find within.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"Indeed. It will be interesting to see how he deals with not being able to rely on being a prince. It will be interesting too to see this place and the people."
-
Aurelian was silent as the marched, the man trying to keep his min preoccupied by spying around at the various features. That is to say, the ash. There wasn't much else.
The sudden blue flash of light was different though.
-
Giuseppina, clearly terrified halfway out of her mind, trailed behind the group, only hurrying to catch up when she got to staring at something and it was obvious she was falling behind.
-
~&~ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZu-DPq0kNQ)
Akk led the group closer and closer to the cave entrace. Soon Prince's companions could see faces peeking from small holes around the cave entrance. They were all human faces, pale and greyish-haired, in dark uniforms.
Once the bleak sun was hidden by the high ceiling of the cavern, people from small buildings and shacks began to stare at the newcomers intently, especially at their faces; the colorful hair, non-pale skin and sparkling eyes surely made an impression at the humans dwelling here. Some centaurs looked as well, but the ratio of humans-to-monsters was definitely favoriting the later. Amongst the monsters, bat-winged gargoyles and tall wolf-headed men were rarer.
But the entrance settlement was soon left behind as Akk continued with the descent.
Soon, the glow of the surface was replaced by dim yellow, orange, red and even purple light of some strange mushrooms coating the walls and the ceiling of the tunnel that was snaking down into the depths of the mountains.
After yet another undetermined, lengthy period of time, they have reached the 'bottom' and Akk led them into large cavern with ceiling so high that clouds seemingly formed at the top. Here, a large wooden lantern shone under the ceiling, providing light.
"Noon, noon, noon!" Some young man yelled across the field of large, puffy-looking white and yellow mushrooms. He was ringing a small hand-held bell, but people who were tending these 'mushroom farms' didn't pay attention as the lantern above their heads suddenly shone much brighter.
A large fortress of grey and brown stone was standing in the middle of the cave, and it seemed that Akk was leading the group right there.
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "This is Fort Arrival, smallest of all castles of the underground humans. It's so small it does not even have a stables for the giant lizards."
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "Giant lizards?"
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "Yes, the only livestock of those who live here. The feathery birds and the fat furry things of the surface are the only other sources of red meat. There's plenty of cave fish, lobsters and olms in the cave rivers, though. We also thrive on lichen, mold and mushrooms. Incidentally, are you hungry? Thirsty?"
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Uh... I guess that until we fix our device, we are in no real rush anywhere. Who's hungry?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"I certainly wouldn't mind a chance to rest. We've been moving a lot lately. Taking some time to eat and relax would be nice."
Though I'm not sure if lizard is the thing I want to be eating...
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSFacepalm.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) The people of this world eat mold? How are they not sick all the time?
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "If the prince and princess want to rest, then I suppose I have no objection."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Nutrition is important to keep up strength. We all should eat."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"As, er, unique the experience might be, I wouldn't mind a bite to eat and some rest."
-
Giuseppina... tried to be a little more adventurous than usual.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"I, uh..., yeah. It might not hurt?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Aw, come on now... Sepi, wasn't it? Don't tell me you're afraid of some native food?"
He grinned. Even though he wasn't overly interested in lizard, the rest sounded fine. Besides, it was always fun to poke at the rich merchants and she seemed to fit the bill.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "I'd be willing to try something new." Aur looked excited about the prospect of trying the new and strange food.
-
Noel looked over at Irios, then tilted his head to the right, indicating that if he wanted to speak alone, now was probably a good time.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "My companions want to rest, so we should. Can you take us to the nearest inn?"
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "Inn?" Prince Aliberti was confused for a moment.
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Uhhh... a place where you can buy food and bedding for a night?"
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "Ah, now I understand. We call these houses of rest. There is one in Fort Arrival. I will take you there." Prince and his entourage followed after Akk, who stopped only for a brief moment to allow the guards to open the heavy wooden doors. The timber was seemingly lightweight, as pair of humans opened the gates with ease by simply pushing the doors outwards. Like all the pale folk, they stared curiously at the visitors that the centaur brought in.
Inside the fortress was a rather bleak sight. There was a small wooden building with a flag representing black fist on greyish background. Numerous smaller hovels and houses 'carved' out of the rock floor surrounded it.
"GNARRRLLLLHHH." Some of the spit came from the mouth of an ugly beast; it was a reptile, as tall as a horse, covered in dark green scales, with two tiny beady eyes and two rows of teeth inside its traingle-shaped mouth.
"Easy, easy..." An uniformed man patted the beast, sitting on its back without a sadle. He then struck the sides of the giant lizard with his knees and it took off, slowly walking across the road. Akk didn't mind, but Aurelian, onto whose face the spit flew, probably did.
The Centaur stopped before a building, or rather set of chambers, carved into a small hill. The wooden windows were closed but faint candlelight was shining through the cracks.
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "This is 'The First Door', the only inn in this cavern. H'hr is the restmaster. He is elderly, a bit grumpy, and always suspicious of any and every two-legs, so don't mind his remarks. Do you have money?"
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Money from our world... will it be accepted?"
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "What kind of metal?"
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Gold?"
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "Hmm. If you put enough on the table, H'hr might accept it. Here, underground, iron and steel are more valuable, but minted coins need the Imperial stamp on them. But like I said, gold might do. I will now go and visit the garrison and tell them of you arrival, and questions." With that, the centaur moved further while Prince looked at the resthouse's door.
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "People living underground, riding on giant lizards, eating mold and mushrooms for breakfast and considering gold a worthless metal. This world's crazy."
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "Come on, Aliberti. We should at least, um, sample the cuisine..." It was Rosana who opened the door and stepped in; her brother followed, and so did his companions.
Inside 'The First Door' were sets of small rock stools and tables; not real furniture, but carved pieces of rock, connected to the floor. Miners and stoneworkers of this crazy world must be quite skilled.
The resthouse wasn't really busy. One man was munching on something in the corner, while a brown-skinned gargoyle was sitting behind a counter - carved from the rock as well - eyeing the newcomers. Once the strangers approached, he lifted his clawed hand and poked Aliberti on cheek.
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Watch it."
"Hmph. Your skin isn't pale. I'm not sure I like sick people in here.
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "This is our natural skin color... in the place we live in, at least."
"Ne'er heard of a place where people live with the deadly fireskin, but that is not my business. Roasted mushrooms' a coin, mold ale two, lizard steak three, and meat soup is four but you gonna have to wait. Bed's ten," He looked at the group. "But I only have a single common room with six beds. You do have coins, yes?" Aliberti fished out the group's bag of money and opened it, showing golden coins of his homeland. The gargoyle fished out one, looked it over, bit it, and then put it back to bag.
"Freaky people, freaky coinage, I guess. Hmph. Allright, fine, I will take it. One-to-five ratio, though.
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "What!" Rosana stared in disbelief, Aliberti gritted his teeth, the gargoyle shrugged - and a quiet chuckle came from the corner of the resthouse. What to do...
-
Giuseppina sighed at Kerr when he called her Sepi.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Giuseppina."
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"And... I don't know, maybe. We've seen ice monsters and the probably-really-cursed place... who knows what you might have here...?"
-
Irios nodded back at Noel, however before he could talk they were lead to this world's version of an inn. As the explanation ended he moved over to the entrance, tapping Noel on the shoulder as he moved passed him, and stepped outside.
-
Before Kerr could respond to Sepi, the group moved on to an inn. Where they were informed they would be charged extreme amounts of money. He sighed and shook his head.
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"Looks like you were worried for nothing Sepi. These folks seem intent on overcharging us, so I suppose we'll simply have to get by without eating lizard."
-
Noel turned and followed, glancing at Ayzebel to see where she was before leaving. Once outside, he was going to keep his back to the wall... just in case, of course.
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Giuseppina. And... and we'll be fine, I'm sure? At least we get to sleep."
-
Ayzebel watched her Irios wander off with Noel. She'd have to find out what Irios was doing, talking with the enemy.
She met Noel's gaze at he left, emotionless returning his stare. Her hand tightened on her sword hilt, just a little.
After they'd gone, she looked after them for a while, before she snapped back to the present.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I will point out here that there are six beds. Irios and I will share one. So that is us sorted, but..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"I know your name, it's just far too long. Sepi is so much easier. It's like how I call my brother Aur. Or the prince Ali. It's just easier. And yes... 6 beds for 12 of us will work oh so well... I suppose some of us can take shifts. Probably best not to forget a guard right now after all."
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Oh. Well, I just... I'm sorry to inconvenience, you, I just... don't really..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"Don't like Sepi? Hmm, how about Pina? Or Gui?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "That is ridiculous. Three coins."
"You dare to haggle? Pshaw!"
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Four."
"Nine."
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Five. That's still a lot of gold you will be getting."
"And what am I gonna do with it, melt it down into candlestick? Eight."
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Five."
"Seven."
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Five."
"Bah! Keep your gold and I will just roast a whole lizard ribcage for you. Just stop arguing you cavewood twig." With extremely loud grumbling coming from his throat, the gargoyle began preparing the food, while Aliberti, beaming with manly satisfaction, sat down at nearby table with four stools around it. Rosana sat at his left side.
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "I have to ask the mages about... wait, where did Noel go? And Irios for that matter?"
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"I dunno, sorry, I just... I don't... I don't like nicknames...?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"Hmm, well I suppose I could just say hey you then. Or maybe Axe girl, though that'd probably count as a nickname hmm..."
He tapped his chin as if he was seriously considering his options.
-
Before Irios spoke he looked around a lot; perhaps being even more cautious than Noel.
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"Since you're the only other person I know of to openly be against the Sect, you're the only person I can really talk to about this." He paused to take a deep breath.
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"I want to get Ayzebel out of the Sect. I just... have no idea how to go about it." He stopped but suddenly started talking again. "I-I'm not trying to force into this or anything, you don't even need to respond if you don't want to. I just wanted to tell someone so it's not just me, you know?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "It is not too difficult to pronounce Giuseppina."
Ayzebel kept glancing towards the door, as if she felt she'd have to leap out, blade drawn, at any moment.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyebrow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) So he doesn't like them either? Nice to have an ally, I suppose.
Noel thought about his request for a moment, arms folded, eyes on the ground.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "That... is a difficult question to answer. I haven't known your friend long but she seems like a staunch supporter of their beliefs and goals. It is like... a fly in a spider's web. It will be very tricky to unravel the strands around her."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Of course I'll try to help you, but I doubt she will listen to much I have to say."
Noel leaned back against the wall, crossing his arms in front of him and crossing his legs at the ankles.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "You know her best. Where do you think she stands?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"It's really more the principle of the matter, you know? Also you can relax. I highly doubt Noel's going to do anything terrible to your boyfriend. Irios does seem to be able to take care of himself for the most part."
-
The fact that Noel was willing to help was a huge relief to Irios.
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"That's just the thing, I'm not entirely certain where she stands. It sorta feels like she's in some limbo between the Sect and me. They've made it clear they'd be pleased if I disappeared but if anything she's just tried to protect me more."
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"But... If I were to try and make her leave now, I'm pretty sure she'd side with them over me."
-
Giuseppina does a little awkward shuffle and shrugs.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Yeah... I guess. I guess... uh... if you HAD to go with a nickname, maybe Pina. . .?"
-
Kerr quietly let out a sigh.
(http://i.imgur.com/37uGtHq.png)"It's no fun when you stop protesting..."
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"Alright... Giuseppina. It's a mouthful but I guess I can use it. Though, I might use Pina in a battle situation if I need to get your attention quickly. If I tried to use your full name, an enemy could gut me before I was halfway done."
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Heh... yeah. My family likes long names. My dad's name is Feliciano."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Hmm. I see. Well, that does present at least two options: wipe out the Sect excluding her and you - which is very likely out of the question, of course - or try to make her value you more than the Sect. Whether we do this by increasing her opinion of you or decreasing her opinion of the Sect, or both... Hmm. I suppose we can assign you the former task and me the latter?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Yeah, I was the lucky one of us brothers. Kerr's a real easy name to say. Aurelian on the other hand... Well, you can see why I call him Aur."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"Yeah, that sounds like the best plan for right now. And, uh, thanks for helping me out." He scratched the back off his head.
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"I'd admittedly be a bit lost without your help."
-
Noel held up a hand.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "It's not entirely selfless. I get the feeling Ayzebel would as soon stab me in the back as look at me, and I don't particularly like having to be paranoid."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "...Nevertheless, you're welcome. I'll try to do my part."
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"Pfff, I just call him Aurelian! It's easier than my name."
-
Ayz responded to Kerr with a vague noise of annoyance.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "It is not Noel injuring Irios I am concerned about." Not just, at any rate. "We do not know and cannot trust the people here."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"Fair enough, I can agree with that for sure. And they'll be fine. They're literally right outside. If something were to happen, they'd yell out and we'd be outside before anything serious happened. Besides, Noel's clearly competent enough to protect them for at least a little."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Hmmph. There are poisons and magics that paralyse or induce sleep quickly or instantly. I doubt Noel has the greatest fortitude to resist such."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"Well, typically those who use magic are better defended against other magics. So if anything, those two are two of the better equipped in our group to face those sorts of magics. And I still think you're being paranoid. Yes, we might get attacked or something, but they're literally right outside. Just relax."
-
Aurelian made a disgusted face as he tried to wipe the slime from his face. Then he learned that he's wearing heavy plating made out of the equivalent of GOLD in this place. It almost looked like the man shrunk in his armor and glance about nervously.
In the 'inn,' Aur stayed quiet and sat down at one of the four stools at the table, happy he could get off his feet comfortably for once. His aching legs thanked him profusely.
-
Giuseppina's folded handkerchief suddenly landed on the table about a half a foot from Aurelian, Giuseppina having lightly tossed it.
-
Irios laughed awkwardly.
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"Yeah, she probably would."
A sudden realization dawned on him.
(http://i.imgur.com/fV0XChP.gif)"Oh shit... How am I going to explain talking to you in private to her?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "...Proselytizing?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"She probably wouldn't believe that... Oh I know, I'll just say I was finishing our talk from snow land."
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"And we should probably head back in before she comes out here herself."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Good idea."
Noel moved to the door and held it open, making a 'you first' gesture with his free hand.
-
Irios pulled down his hood and nodded before walking inside and stopping by Ayzebel.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"You guys didn't eat without us, did you?"
-
Noel followed him in, shutting the door after himself, and made his way over to the group. Once there, he retrieved his journal from his robes and wrote down what he had learned so far about the inhabitants of this world and their... diet.
-
The knight gratefully took the handkerchief from the table and got what was left of the spit he had been unable to get off, along with that he smeared on his gauntlet trying to wipe it away. The red headed knight grinned at his benefactor.
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "Thanks Guiseppina. I guess I owe you two handkerchiefs now." The grin was less full than usual. "More strange places. And apparently they think us sick? How strange. Although I guess I wouldn't be in that great of shape too if I spent all of my life underground. Or maybe I would be..." The man trailed off as he pondered.
-
CHOP! CHOP!
And the gargoyle brought an enormous plate with two halves of ribcage, steaming after being freshly pulled from the fireplace and the dark red meat sweating with fat. He set the plate down on the table and left a small hatchet on the table.
"Bones are extra sturdy on these beasts. You can cleave separate ribs with this." He nodded at the hatchet, then returned behind his counter.
Aliberti and Rosana didn't look particularily hungry.
-
Noel took the hatchet and cut some meat away.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSFacepalm.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "For knowledge's sake, I suppose..."
After a few moments to pre-regret this decision, he took a bite.
-
It had texture of well-rosted beef but rather bland taste.
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "Is it, umm... tasty? Edible at least?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyebrow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "It is... fine? It doesn't really taste of anything. Perhaps with seasoning or a sauce of some kind it would be palatable... but yes, it is edible enough."
-
Ayzebel watched Noel carefully for signs of poison or an allergic reaction. When she was disappointed, Ayzebel retrieved the axe and brought it down in a swift arc, hacking off some of the ribs. Without hesitation, she bit into the meat, chewed and swallowed.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "It is acceptable fare. Flavourless, almost."
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"Ehehe, I guess you do! It's a good thing for you I have a box of them at the castle, huh?"
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"And... eh. At least they're not the... cursed... things."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyebrow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "You... like flavourless food? How odd, but then, I imagine it's what the Sect feeds you. Bland comestibles could be one of the reasons you seem so unhappy all the time. Perhaps when we get home you should ask the palace chefs to roast you a deer."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I said acceptable, not good. Food needs not be flavoursome to fulfill its purpose."
-
Kerr sat down at the table near the princess and hacked himself a rib or two. He started to eat it and gave a shrug.
(http://i.imgur.com/lzfpry6.png)"Certainly not the worst food I've ever had. Like that one time the king decided you and your brother needed to learn how to cook. Remember that disaster?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "If I remember correctly it was you who suggested the spices for that one meal."
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Clearly Kerr is just as bad as we are." Reluctantly, Aliberti cut off a small rib and took a bite, his sister didn't indulge however.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/lzfpry6.png)"And yet my suggesting of a pound of red pepper flakes didn't cause you to question me at all..."
He shook his head. He still couldn't believe they had listened to him there. Ah well, it had been worth it to see the look on other people's faces when they ate it and hadn't wanted to offend the prince and princess.
-
Miranda took a piece and carefully poked at it before seeing the others dig in.
(http://i.imgur.com/pRJuU8L.png) "Huh... not too bad for a... whatever it is."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "It's a waste of time, effort, and materials to not make food properly if you ask me."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "No one did." She turned to Irios. "You should eat too, Irios."
-
Miranda nodded in agreement.
(http://i.imgur.com/bqvCTTG.png) "Mfwuud ish gud for uor heelth." She said in between bites of rib before swallowing with a gulp.
(http://i.imgur.com/bqvCTTG.png) "You gotta get what you can. That's what my folks always told me back home."
(http://i.imgur.com/31cyjdw.png) "...Unless it's like, really, really gross or something. Then the doggies can have it if they want it."
-
Despite himself, Irios had been gauging the others reactions to the food.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"Right," Irios said before chopping himself a few ribs and biting into them.
-
Giuseppina put some food on the table in front of her.... But for a decent minute didn't touch the ribs at all. Eventually, she tried to figure out how to eat it without actually messing up her hands... and of course this led to her just looking at it and moving halfway to grab it before withdrawing, for an absolutely painful amount of time.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png)"...is there a problem, Miss? They aren't poisonous."
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Nooo... ...it's just that..."
Giuseppina creased her brow in frustration and reached towards the rib, before pausing two inches away again.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Hmm..."
-
Irios sighed at the display in front of him.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"Do you want my gloves?"
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"But I wouldn't want to dirty your things."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Why not borrow Ayzebel's knife?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"I don't mind."
(http://i.imgur.com/k7qS0em.gif)They're already covered in my sins anyways.
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"I mean... if I'm going to use a weapon..."
Giuseppina hesitantly takes out a hatchet and thwacks it deep into the rib, before holding it at a very strange angle to nibble at the corner of the ribs.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png)"Well, none can fault you for not being original in your eating habits, Giuseppina. Irios, you eat more too. You'll need your strength for toni-"
(http://i.imgur.com/2vnVwqc.png) "For tomorrow."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSFacepalm.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) And he thinks she would choose the cult over him when she basically announced she plans on relations with him tonight, in a public room where everyone else will be trying to sleep? I'll never understand these two.
-
Giuseppina paused, shook her head (clearly she heard wrong), and went back to nibbling at the rib she was eating... although in all fairness she WAS starting to make some progress.
-
Irios choked on the bite of rib meat he'd just taken.
(http://i.imgur.com/kKAAaK7.gif)"Wh-What?" was all he managed to choke out as his face took on a slight red color. At least he could claim it was from choking.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/iBFQYlx.png) "Why's everyone have such funny looks on their-" said Miranda, holding another rib to her face.
She looked at everyone in turn before settling on the blush occupying Irio's cheeks.
(http://i.imgur.com/fWVIvst.png) "..."
(http://i.imgur.com/iBFQYlx.png) "OH EW. Could you guys at least get a tent or something?!"
-
Noel pounded on Irios's back with all the puny power his 2 STR noodle arms could muster.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Come on, cough it up. The last thing we need is a healer dying on us."
-
Irios coughed up the bit of meat onto the table in front of him and after a few more coughs he was fine. Except for his face, it was still red and he was quickly losing his choking excuse.
(http://i.imgur.com/vApNNFA.gif)"Th-Thanks, Noel."
Instead of trying to correct Miranda he pulled his hood so far over his head it obscured his eyes and went back to eating his food.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/2vnVwqc.png) "..."
She had not meant to say that... She considered protesting she meant tomorrow, but she doubted it'd do any good.
-
Giuseppina cleared her throat, attempting to get the conversation away from... that.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Anyway!"
And then her sentence died in her throat as she realized she didn't have a topic to change to.
-
Miranda shook her head to try and forget what she just heard.
(http://i.imgur.com/31cyjdw.png) "So... what do you guys think about those lizard horses?" she said, trying to pick up for Giuseppina
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "You don't want one to spit at you. Urck." Aurelian chimed in, frowning as he took another bit of his haunch of roast.
(http://i.imgur.com/f5OCIB7.png) "Beyond that though, basically wingless wyverns, right? Honestly, pretty awesome."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "You're welcome, though it's only fair since you're here to keep the rest of us alive."
The conversation mercifully changed to the topic of the lizard horses.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "They're interesting creatures. I wouldn't go so far as to say they're fascinating, but I would like to study one if we have the time. At least we know what they taste like, I suppose."
-
Giuseppina paused as she considered the taste.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Speaking of... I'm... used to more salt."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/31cyjdw.png) "I wonder what it's like to ride on one. The one we saw didn't seem nearly as friendly as the horses back home."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Agreed. A bit of salt, some black pepper... perhaps drain more of the fat and season the meat with herbs..."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSMellow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "The wasted potential is almost as bad as the blandness."
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"No, I'm just used to... salt. Lots of salt. Lots and lots of salt. I think most of you landfolk would hate it, heheh."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fWVIvst.png) "What do you eat nothing but jerky or something?"
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"Pffft, no. But when you're on a ship pretty much any meat you have is salted, otherwise it'l probably go bad."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Too much salt is unhealthy, mind you."
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"Ah, I never really had to worry about that. Father's smart about that sort of thing."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/f5OCIB7.png) "I can't say I'm really that picky. I think its actually pretty good." As to if he was trying to be nice or genuine, only Kerr would know. He took another large bite from his shank of rib though either way.
(http://i.imgur.com/3zLpA1M.png) "Maybe we should bring something more universal in commodity? Something both functional and valuable, but easy to carry..." The knight pondered on the idea, trying to think of several objects.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/iBFQYlx.png) "Well you guys are the rich ones. What stuff would everyone call valuable?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Gemstones? Or perhaps trade goods. Knives and other tools."
-
Giuseppina sat down the rib thoughtfully, suddenly in familiar territory, and answered Aurelian's musings with much enthusiasm.
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"Wellll, it depends on the world. Like Noel said, gemstones would be good in some cases, seeing as they take up minimal space and are typically worth quite a bit... but they're a risky investment in this case because we don't know how many worlds there are like this that just don't value them. Now, I wouldn't suggest bringing simple tools or such because the people in these worlds already tend to have them... but perhaps some of the more devices invented in the kingdom or things picked up as we go along the worlds might work; they're likely to be new to the local inhabitants, and hopefully the potential awe factor would translate into increased cooperation in trade, and we can secure demand."
-
Suddenly the door have opened and High Priest Mullah came in.
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Apologies for delay, strangers, I-"
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "High Priest Mullah!" Rosana and her brother stood up.
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "How did you find us? Are you here to bring us home??" The old man, who wasn't Mullah at all, blinked several times.
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "I believe you must have mistaken me for someone else?" Then there was awkward silence.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Indeed. They speak of someone from our home."
Noel bowed formally.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Allow me to introduce us. I am Noel Schoech, last of the Schoech family of Miccah, and I catalogue the details of our travels. Our leaders are Prince Aliberti and Princess Rosana of the Zorostraian Empire. Our companions are Kerr, Aurelian, Giuseppina, Miranda, Maribel, Ayzebel, Irios, Chance, and Hafiz."
Noel indicated each person as he spoke their names.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Then you ARE from surface! And I thought Akk was hallucinating. How far is it? Is the second sun visible? Do you have fresh water? How about animals and crops? Is there-"
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Wait, wait a moment mister. Noel forgot to mention we're, uhhh, from other world." The old man, who wasn't Mullah at all, blinked several times once again.
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Other world?"
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "You heard it right!"
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "That's impossible. How did you get here?"
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "It's a long story. Basically we are travelling, well, from world to world in search for pieces of magical crystal. We need to re-assemble it to save our world. Mages from our world send us to places that hold the crystal shards..." Prince Aliberti pulled out the mirror and showed it to the old man. "...and we use this to come back. Unfortunately, for some reason, we landed in here, and the mirror broke. We cannot repair it ourselves, it's very complex device-"
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "This is such a low quality craftmanship. Huh, I wonder how your people were able to enchant it in the first place. Our crystalmancy apprentices do such things for practice."
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "You can make these in quantity!?"
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Why yes. Our underground home has two things in abundance; rocks and crystals, if you know where to look for the latter of course. For example, the crafters of the Castle can create much more, say, hundreds of items per a couple of lantern cycles..."
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "Can you repair our mirror, though?"
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Well I could. But I have to govern over entirety of Fort Arrival - by the way, I am Chief Artificier of Fort Arrival, Nathal. With my military advisor missing, I have no time to spend in my workshop. You would have to travel to Ritten at least, in the Great Cave. It shouldn't take more than four cycles to get there."
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Four cycles?... Oh wait, that guy in the fields; You are using lantern cycles to measure time?"
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Yes. The sun does not work as it did centuries ago, so we have to do with the lanterns."
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Four days then..." Aliberti rubbed his chin in thought.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png)"What an uncanny resemblance. Anyway, what dangers would there be on the way?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Your military adviser is missing, you say?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Yes. He was an accomplished scout and headed to investigate Akk's and others reports about some strange people hiding in one of the uninhabited tunnels in the Mist Cave to the north of here. That was seven cycles ago and he should easily return in five. I'm a bit worried."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Could you fix our device if we help find your adviser?" Aurelian asked the old man. He had to resist the urge to call him High Priest.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Ah, you're not strangers to the concept of adventurers' quest. Fine then. As Imperial clerk I can hastily prepare the paperwork and come up with a monetary reward..."
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "No money; like Aurelian said, we just want you to fix our mirror." The elderly man beamed with happiness.
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Then it is settled. Please wait here for a while longer." With that, the old artificier left the inn, while the gargoyle grumbled.
"Your ribs gonna get cold."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Alright, progress! We just need to find his adviser, he fixes our mirror, and we can go back home with the shard. We should try to talk him into fixing the mirror while we're looking for his adviser, could save us some time."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "That's not a bad idea."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png)"I don't imagine we have much alternative."
-
The elderly man have returned after some time.
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "All is set. Take this seal, in case any patrol would want to stop you, you can show this and they will let you pass." Aliberti carefully pocketed a small scroll with big red wax seal on it.
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Akk shall come with you. He has been in that area so he can easily guide you through the tunnels."
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Let's go, people! The moment we return home is approaching fast."
~~~
It was another silent trip, and, despite Artificier's worries, nobody showed up to stop Aliberti and his entourage. During the journey, Akk did not say a word and neither did the royal sibling. Time, not measureable underground, was passing in boredom and silence, and the whole group-
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "Why do you never say anything?"
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "Hmmm?" Aliberti struck his sister with elbow, gently, but she was rather insistent.

(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "Yet you shall be leaving it soon, if I understand correctly. What's the point of describing it if you will leave it?"
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "Oh, I don't know, we might one day return to-" Rosana thought for a moment and then turned to Aliberti. "Actually can we return to the worlds we visited?"
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "I'm... not sure? The device is supposedly directing us to a world with the shard but... I will ask Mullah when we return, he will probably know the details."
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "So I was right. No need to describe our world to you." With Akk, satisfied, Aliberti, determined, and Rosana, making a pouty, unhappy face, the trek through the tunnels continued.
It didn't continue for long before Akk stopped the group behind a huge stalagmite.
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "Wait here." He then turned around the corner, briefly disappearing from sight.
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "Why did we stop?"
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "I don't know. Maybe he heard something, but I didn't hear a thing..." Akk was soon back.
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "There's a bunch of bandits guarding a narrow part of this tunnel. They look confident. If Advisor Opal was here, it must mean he was inevitably captured by them."
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "I see. Is there any way past these thugs here?"
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "None."
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Then the course of action is clear." Aliberti drew his sword out, and so did Rosana.
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "After standing in the snow place and doing nothing but freezing my backside off, I will gladly stab some thugs!"

Aur was laid low on the cavern floor, staring up dumbly at the ceiling. There were brief flashes of blue coming from the crevices in his armor, but they were sporadic and dim, like sparks from old embers.
"...So it does have a limit. Huh." The knight numbly muttered to himself. He always wondered. Maybe he'll just... Rest here for a bit. Yeah, that sounds nice.

With her new bow, she hadn't so much as been scratched. She smirked, pleased.
(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "They didn't put up much of a fight."
-
Noel looked disappointed. He sighed.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Given what we've seen so far, I was hoping to see something more exotic than bandits. I suppose there's nothing for it."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "There's scum everywhere. They just have to be... exterminated." On the last few words she looked hard at Noel.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "On that, we agree... Glass."
Noel folded his arms and returned her glare evenly. But remembering his promise to Irios, he decided not to pursue the issue any further unless she escalated to physical violence; he would defend himself if he had to. Otherwise, he would ignore her barbs for the moment.
-
Kerr struggled to his feet, wincing as he did.
(http://i.imgur.com/LM2Np0W.png)"Ugh, that could have gone better..."
-
Aur helped Kerr to his feet, although he himself wasn't exactly steady. But the steady blue glow shining through the cracks of his armor showed his body was already at work.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Well, I don't know. I think it went quite well; they mostly just hit us." The knight countered, removing his helmet.
(http://i.imgur.com/OI0Y3SM.gif) "Sure, we got banged up a bit, but everyone else is pretty much alright. Its what we're here for, right?"
-
Giuseppina frowned, walked in front of Aur and Kerr, and looked up at their faces.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Are... you two okay...?"
She ignored the blood running down her own sleeve.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/YTKnD5g.png) "Nothing a bit of magic and time can't fix." Aur wiped what blood he could off of his face, the only traces of his wounds now being fading bruises.
(http://i.imgur.com/f5OCIB7.png) "Irios will see to Kerr soon, don't worry. You should flag him down to look at you too, I think I saw some go after you." The knight still supported his brother, although it wasn't a tight enough grip that he couldn't get away if he wanted to.
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"I mean, I've been still standing the whole time thanks to you two, so it's not THAT bad."
She wiped off the back of her hand.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/VRxdjfS.gif)"He's right you know," Irios said with a sigh, part of it directed at Ayzebel and Noel part of it directed at Guiseppina, as he healed Kerr.
(http://i.imgur.com/gImxM2A.gif)"You shouldn't ignore your own wounds just because someone else's are worse; that how people die."
-
Giuseppina sighed and shrugged.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"I just thought you should heal them first.'
She then brought her collar up to her mouth to grip, before pulling back her sleeve; her arm was bleeding from a couple of slashes up it from one of the thieves' swords. She presented the bloodied limb to Irios.

(http://i.imgur.com/pRJuU8L.png) "I'm just glad there weren't any gross things this time." said Miranda as she rubbed her wrist.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Thank you, Irios." Aur still supported Kerr for a moment before moving away, believing him able to stand on his own just fine now.
(http://i.imgur.com/f5OCIB7.png) "I'm the only one who can ignore their own wounds, and that's because I'm weird as heck. So I'm an awful example, don't do what I do." The knight laughed at himself.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"You're a bit better at taking hits than I am. I'd just like to actually be able to do something, that's all."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "Well, they're probably preparing for us up ahead so you'll have plenty of chances to do something, don't worry. Heh, I think I made a bit of an impression on them, so I don't think they'll have as rubbish weapons as this time though..." If he was worried, he was good at hiding it.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"Fair enough," Irios said as he healed her arm.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"It's no problem, Aur."

(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "This must still have been an significant amount of their force... these tunnels could only support so many, surely."

(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Let's go." And they went.
~~Chapter 3-2: The Unexpected~~
They have continued their trek through the caves. At one point, Akk had split the ways with few of Prince's companions to investigate two tunnels, but...
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "Hmmm... I didn't think the lair would be right here."
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Good thing we're here, huh?" Aliberti spoke, emerging from the other tunnel.
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "Aliberti! I was worried for a while that you guys got lost."
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "Morko must be kept prisoner by the bandits, or has been killed. We will recover him alive or carry his body back."

Aur gave a wave at Kerr, looking relieved at seeing him.
Turning back to the task at hand though, the knight made his way towards the bridge (14,17) and pulled his helmet back on.
He has a feeling he'll probably need it.

(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Wait, no--Ooohthisisgoingtohurt." Aur broke off into a muffled mumble under his helmet, took a deep breath, and charged forth to stand in front of Miranda. Damned if he wasn't going to do the only job he has.
Move to [14,15] and prepare to get butt kicked
-
(http://i.imgur.com/iBFQYlx.png) "What?- wooooaaaaaaaaaa"
Miranda flailed her arms out to steady herself from the shaking caused by someone wearing large amounts of metal running across a rope bridge as fast as they could.
(http://i.imgur.com/fWVIvst.png) "Hey watch it!"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Sorry." It was more a reflex than not. "Trying to stay between you and them."
-
Maribel looked at Aur charging, and briefly wondered if maybe she shouldnt've done that. To be fair, she didn't expect him to charge like a bull to the front...

Attack Axeman A
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "I'm trying to block their way to you." Aur grunted in response. "You can kill them fine, but I'd rather not see how many axes or javelins you can take before going down. That's my job." Despite her annoyance, he found it funny at least.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Besides, you're a mage, aren't you? Isn't it normally a bad idea for you to get in melee?" The knight nabbed a package of Vulnerary and began to apply it to his wounds.
He's pretty sure it isn't suppose to feel like salt. At least, from other people's perspective on it. Doesn't change the feeling though.

It would probably be better just to show him.
With the path clear, Miranda dashed past the man in a can standing in front of her and skidded to a stop in front of the remaining bandit. Taking in a deep breath she got back into her fighting stance and concentrated her energy into her fist-

Ayzebel snapped off the arrow embedded in her with nary a sound.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Irios, tend to Abategiovanni."
With a tiny silent moment of feeling pleased she pronounced the name right, she moved up.
She had a feeling - ahead a tunnel was almost concealed behind a stone wall and wooden supports. As she moved, she took out of one the countless tiny bottles of poisons from the inside of her cloak and applied it onto the sword. As she did so, she passed by Miranda.
Ayzebel paused for a second and then nodded at her.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "You should get that seen to."

Noel grimaced and brushed/slung bits of gore from his robe with the back of his hands.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSDisgust.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Really now. Was that absolutely necessary?"
He sighed.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSFacepalm.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "This is one of the reasons dark magic is the superior type. It just completely obliterates the target and then there's nothing left to make a mess."
Noel to 10,11 and wipe the blood off of his gloves onto Ayzebel on the way.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Feeling squeamish, mage?"
She turned towards her healer.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Irios, if you would...?"
She gestured towards her shoulder wound.
-
Miranda flinched back at Noel's comment and glanced to the side sheepishly.
(http://i.imgur.com/fWVIvst.png) "Eh heh heh... whoops. Sorry about that.
(http://i.imgur.com/31cyjdw.png) "Still not quite use to fighting in a group. Normally all the ick just slides off the... barrier shield... shiny thingy my spells make so I don't have to worry about the mess. she said, rubbing the back of her head in embarassment.

Noel sighed again, as if the weight of the entire multiverse was on his shoulders and his alone.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Unlike you, Glass, I don't delight in bathing in the innards of other humans. I take pride in my magical abilities, yes, but I don't believe in desecrating the dead for my own amusement."
He turned to Miranda.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "...No physical harm done, I suppose. Just... extra laundry."
-
Aur nodded at the kill and moved on, peacing out of the magic conversation. He couldn't exactly add much expertise to the topic.
The knight clanked forward to [11,11], inspecting his armor. He'll have to do something about these nasty dings and blood eventually.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "How did things go on your end, Kerr?"
-
Giuseppina, perhaps, partially answered Aur's question as she picked herself off of a rather bloodied spot of cave floor yet again.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Ow ow ow ow ow."

(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) Aur smiled beneath his helmet. "Heh, well no surprise there. Nothing's too difficult for you, Kerr." The knight was genuine and proud of the declaration, resting his lance against his pauldron at ease.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Only thing exciting on my end was the bridge giving out under me and... Miranda? Miranda." He nodded to himself in affirmation at having remembered her name.
The knight heard a groan behind them and glanced back, spying the origin as Giuseppina.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Hey, you okay? I got some medicine if you need it, or we can wait for Irios." Aur started to work through the pouches on his belt to locate his wayward Vulnerary.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"Should just wait for Irios. I tend to not react well to those medicines. They seem to end up doing more harm than good..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "You too Kerr? Huh, I thought it was because of that... Healing... Thing of mine." Aur put the vulnerary back and patted the pouch.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Just hurts when I use it. Like I'm just packing salt into the wound or something." The young knight shook his head at the memory. "I asked a few others what it felt like before, they all told me it isn't suppose to feel like that."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"It's weird for me. Some sort of longer lasting effect. Almost like it's a poison or something."
Kerr shook his head and sighed.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Guess it's just good we have a real healer looking out for all of us."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Yeah, and Irios is a good one at that! We won't have to worry too much with him around." Aur sounded confident.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "...Doooooesn't mean we shouldn't try to not get hurt though. Irios can't be everywhere at once." The knight laughed a bit behind his helmet.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "You know, I expected some more... Armor defeating weapons here. Like a decent blunt weapon, or something like that. I guess since metal is kind of rare here, they don't really know how to counter it too well?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Yeaaaah, I guess we should take it easy on him. And you have a point though we haven't beaten all of 'em yet so stay sharp, alright?"
-

-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Thanks, Irios... again. ...again."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Rough time of it, Giuseppina?" Aur directed his attention to the axewoman. "Don't think much on it, these things happen. Hard to properly defend with an axe, I've learned, so you either have to trust your feet or your armor."
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Yeah... I went a bit too far forward and got taken down... like... two or three times. It hasn't been real nice."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Ow, yeah that sounds rough. Good thing Irios is here." Aur looked to Kerr considering they were just talking about the healer.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Kerr and I are probably going to practice and spar once we get some downtime, you can join us if you'd like. To be honest though, not sure how much I can help there since you're probably the better fighter. I cheat like mad with my armor and magic though." Aur laughed behind his helmet. "Kerr might be able to give you more challenge and advice however."
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Yeah, really... I don't wanna think about how hard it would be if he weren't picking me up each time." She shuddered a bit, but Aur's next line of conversation seemed to cheer her up some.
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"I'd love to! But, ehehe, I wouldn't count on the better fighter thing. Using armor is a skill itself, and when it comes to magic..." Giuseppina leaned in conspiratorially. "I have a bunch of lucky charms that make me supernaturally lucky." She retrieved a coin from her pocket and flashed the golden object at Aur, and jangled some of her more esoteric jewelry.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Oh?" The knight sounded intrigued and similarly leaned closer to get a better look at the coin. "Like, you get better rolls on dice or hands at cards, or random streaks of luck become more often? Oh, or maybe like, an enemy trips on their way to attack you or something? Or would that be more causing misfortune in others...?" Aur pondered to himself, curious about what exactly being supernaturally lucky would entail.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Where would you even get something like that? Were they family heirlooms or..." He caught himself in his excitement and paused, soon apologizing. "Haha, sorry you don't need to answer that if you don't want to. Just makes me think of those old stories about heroes and magic items."
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):"They just make me luckier! I don't question their... mystic workings. It's best not to mess with things like that! And I got these in my travels on the seas with my father, from various mysterious merchants in dark corners of cities and coasts all over the ocean!"I have a bunch of lucky charms that make me supernaturally lucky." She grinned at this, sweeping her hand over the cave as if gesturing over the open water from a ship's prow.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Luck works in very weird ways, yeah. Probably just give ourselves headaches trying to think of what it might affect."
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Oooh, like, shops found only in alleyways that vanish mysteriously after you've visited? Or maybe strange merchants who stay in the shadows?" Aur nodded as if this made complete sense. "Sounds like it would fit the bill from what I heard about magic items. I bet they didn't even ask for money, just gave them with weird omens or for strange deeds done in return."

(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Nice work Kerr!" Aur relaxed a touch at the lack of enemies, taking time now to take in the room. He took off his helmet and tried his best to wipe some sweat away from his face. Blasted thing is stifling.
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "I... Guess if he's anywhere, he's probably in that room. We never did see their leader either, I'm willing to bet they're in the same room. We best prepare, doubt he got in charge for being a diplomatic sort." Aur was optimistic, things were going very well so far.

(http://i.imgur.com/bR69XWg.png) "Kerr!" Was the heads up his brother got as Aur moved past him to [17,5], positioning himself solidly where the ruined door once was and braced his spear against the enemy's charge.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Nice work on the door. Think we should knock him unconscious and bring him as a prisoner? Still technically returning him." The knight doesn't seem too worried about the array of forces in front of him as he joked.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "Treason, banditry, oath-breaking and many other crimes equal death sentence. His return is no longer an option."
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "That's some harsh laws..."
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "Only fools dare oppose them."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "That's... More serious than I was expecting." Aur was put off from his joking by the answer. "I... Suppose its not my place to judge. Harsh lands make for..." The knight stopped himself and put his mind on the task.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "They won't get past me, seems my worry was for naught."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "WE are not going to get past you either, you know. It'll be difficult to kill the bandits if we can't actually reach them."
He turned to Akk.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Regardless, what are we to do about this? Do we bring back his head as proof that we tried to recover him, perhaps?"
Noel holds.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "My word will suffice."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png)"I'll be the first to admit that I'm not familiar with magic, but walls between don't mean much to getting a bead on your targets, do they?" It was an honest question.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "I'm here to stop their charge and gain us the initiative, there isn't much point to staying after." Aur was confused, but tried not to show it. Was it normal for mages to want to rush into rooms filled with enemies first? Miranda isn't exactly a normal mage, though, but Noel seemed more proper. Perhaps not?

Hold

Giuseppina inched her way into the knight's former space, lightly stroking the axe in her hands as an idle (and perhaps nervous: there was execution abound now) motion.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Aur knows what he's doing, he's supposed to hold doors like this." she hesitantly offered in his defense.

Aur looked at Noel with concern as the enemies avoided the knight and focused on the mage. Darn it all, this was what he wanted to avoid! If Aur was quicker he might have been able to... The young knight got distracted from reaching for his vulneraries when his brother was sent down to the floor by a hard blow.

~~Chapter 3-2 Complete!~~
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "These bandits fortunately had no chance to make trouble around Fort Arrival. Thank you, foreigners."
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "Now back to your outpost and hopefully we can go back to our world!"
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "About time. Even if the old man did perfect his magics, I'm worried about how much time have passed since we left for the icy world and being stuck here. Everyone ready to go back?... where's Ayzebel?"
-
Kerr was too busy bleeding out on the ground to respond about anything.
-
Irios healed up Noel and then Kerr without a word.
(http://i.imgur.com/Y5PQE0i.gif)"She went off to our left as we entered the room."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Right. Thanks."
Noel sighed as he picked himself up.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Maybe she went looking for treasure... I would prefer having her here though. Ayzebel?" Prince Aliberti shouted toward the exit from the half-finished dungeone-y bandit hideout.
-
Ayzebel, scene enter.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Yes, I'm here. Did you find the target?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "Turned out to be a traitor, and paid for it." With that said, Akk began a slow march back to Fort Arrival, with Prince Aliberti in tow.
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "Whoever wishes to stay, raise their hand!" With a little giggle - and not raising her hand - Princess Rosana went after the two.
-
Kerr slowly rose to his feet and nodded thanks to Irios. Following after the prince, he glanced back and shook his head.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"A traitor and some bandits. Fitting company in death I suppose."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Baffles me the logic of being a bandit in such a hell considering what kind of equally hellish laws they have in here..." Akk the Centaur scoffed at the remark.
The group made their way to Fort Arrival, leaving the purged bandit's nest behind...
But...
...a while later...
"Uuuhhh..." Morko, seemingly uninjured, slowly woke up and sat amongst bodies of his ill-fated companions.
(http://i.imgur.com/G10JwjY.png) "What the... how am I still alive?..." Morko touched himself a little, but indeed his wounds were gone.
(http://i.imgur.com/INQvgSS.png) "You're alive because I healed you." Morko quickly stood up, sword drawn and pointed at the stranger.
(http://i.imgur.com/G10JwjY.png) "And who the heck are you??"
(http://i.imgur.com/INQvgSS.png) "My name is Leon Eshever. I'm here to give you a chance... for revenge... to change the course of history... history of many worlds, in fact."
(http://i.imgur.com/G10JwjY.png) "...what kinda bunch of shrooms are you on?" The stranger let out a tired sigh.
(http://i.imgur.com/INQvgSS.png) "It will take a while to explain, but I will gladly tell you everything you wish to know - at a later time. For now what's important is that I offer you to join our crusade against him."
(http://i.imgur.com/G10JwjY.png) "Him?"
(http://i.imgur.com/INQvgSS.png) "The red-haired one. Prince Aliberti. The Destroyer of Worlds."
*KZZZZT*
Several lengthy hours later...
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "...And you cut off children's hands too!?"
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "No matter the age, gender or station, the criminals are treated equally in the Empire's land. A theft, be it from a coffer of silver from royal treasury or a bag of fungi from a granary, costs the thief both hands."
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "Now that's just downright cruel!"
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Really I have to agree with my sister on that. Did you try... being lenient?"
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "Yes. During the reign of second-to-last Emperor, before the current one... Godhias the Kind-Hearted loosened the punishments for all crimes, except, of course, murder."
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Aaand?"
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "The amount of crime quadrupled in span of two yearly cycles."
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png)(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "..." Clearly unable to continue on the topic, the royal siblings dropped it. And just in due time; they were back at Fort Arrival! Akk brought them to the elderly official, explained the situation, and the old man patted his beard thoughtfully.
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Well, that does complete your mission. I have offered to repair your magical trinket, and I intend to keep my end of bargain. Can I have it?" Aliberti handed the shattered mirror to Nathal, who nodded.
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Give me few hours and I will fix it." The old man wandered back into his office, whilst Aliberti sat down on a rock protruding from the cave floor near the artificier's house.
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "It's the waiting that is worst thing in all this."
-
Kerr slumped down against the wall close by the prince but not right next to him. The words of Noel in the icy land still rung in his head...
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Here, Irios. I found this. It doesn't seem like a poison I recognise."
She held out the bottle of mushroom elixir for his observation.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "That would be fungus tonic." Akk emerged from the artificer's office.
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "A mixture of helpful fungi, anti-toxin mold and some minerals. A strong medicinal brew."
-
Ayzebel glanced at the horseman for a moment.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "...I see. Thank you, Akk."
-
Giuseppina too chose a spot on the wall to settle on, if perhaps not so close to the prince... and after a couple of minutes, she began to slooooowly slide sideways, apparently having fallen asleep.
-
Ayzebel idly watched Guiseppina in her slide, wondering if she'd wake up before she hit the ground.
-
Noel immediately got his journal out. It was as if one moment he was standing against the wall, arms crossed, and in the next he was by the centaur with quill poised to take notes without moving at all.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "A powerful medicine you say? Can you describe what its properties are, and how one makes it?"
-
The answer apparently was yes... albeit too late to stop herself, as the little jolt of waking up sent her actually falling to the ground with a surprised squeak.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "No." And then he wandered away.
-
Noel tagged along long enough to ask a follow-up question.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Well then, can you direct me to someone who can? This sounds like something that could be useful for the people of our world, and beneficial knowledge isn't something to hoard."
-
Akk looked down at Noel as they walked, before stopping and turning to face him.
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "Ask Artificier Nathal for permission when he is done repairing the trinket of yours." And he wandered away once again.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Fair enough. Farewell, Akk."
Noel put his journal away as he walked back to the group, looking slightly annoyed, and took his position on the wall again.
-
A rather flustered Giuseppina proceeded to stand back up, trying to act like nothing had happened at all.
-
Aur was sitting a good dozen paces from Prince Aliberti and his brother, removing pieces of his armor one by one and inspecting it, laying the plate protectively next to him as he checked each dent and mar. The knight looked relieved to be out of the stuffy armor, in his far more breathable chain, a small hammer and rag with a container of oils set out next to him in preparation to smooth out some of the dents and clean his armor.
Before that, however, the red haired youth produced a small flask from a pouch at his side. He stared at it for a moment before uncorking it and downing its contents in a single go. He shook his head and replaced the flask, then set about working on his armor.
-
Since Irios seemed busy, Ayzebel decided to talk to the others. Who knows, she might learn a weakness she could target if they turned against her?
Seeing Aur gulp down a bottle, she raised an eyebrow.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "What are you drinking, there?"
-
Aur jumped a bit as he was drawn out of his concentration of maintaining his armor, looking at Ayzebel who sneaked up on him. Or so he'd say, at least. At the question, the knight looked uncomfortable.
(http://i.imgur.com/W3KTAej.png) "Oh, ah... Just a tincture, is all. Strong stuff, so I try not to taste it." His face pinched at the thought, rubbing off some dried blood from one of his armor pieces without thought.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Oh? I thought that wouldn't be necessary, considering your regeneration."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/1IIHJO5.png) Aur actually seems more uncomfortable now. Despite that, he answered truthfully. "You would think, yeah. Its actually more... Because of it, really. Makes sure it only does what its suppose to do."
A small tap on the underside of a plate, testing a dent that caved inward. From one of their axes, the knight remembers. He steadied his hand and tapped several more times, harder, slowly working the dent back in shape.
If only his armor healed as easily as himself.
[Will edit these posts with armorless Aur mug later when I make it]
-
Ayzebel cocked her head, curious.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "So what would happen if you did not take it?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/1IIHJO5.png) "Build up and degeneration followed by regenerating the damage past what it should until it restarted the cycle. We didn't realize at first because the damage was mostly internal." Tap, tap, thonk. Tap, tap, thonk.
(http://i.imgur.com/W3KTAej.png) "I haven't tried to stop taking it because I'd rather not find out if I would fall back into the rhythm." Aur was silent as focused on working the dent out of his armor, speaking again when he think he has it good enough until he can get it to a proper armorer.
(http://i.imgur.com/W3KTAej.png) The knight sat the plate down and focused on Ayzebel. "I can talk more about it if you'd like. I've dealt with and came to peace about the time before the tincture, but its a bit of an uncomfortable subject, isn't the fondest of memories. We can talk about something happier instead, though, if you'd like. You're pretty skilled with a bow and sword, considering how you hold them; you trained in a military?"
-
She nodded at the request to move the topic on. If threat possible, deprive of tinctures. A reversible effect should suspicions be unfounded, but may weaken enough to ensure swift victory.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "No, I am not a soldier. Tell me, do you know of the Sect of Glass?"
-
Kerr had noticed the weird cloaked girl, Ayz?, talking to his brother, so he casually stood up and stretched before making his way over to his brother. Leaning casually against the wall near the two of them.
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Heya little bro. You did a good job this fight. Keep it up and you're going to be a better fighter than me."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/YMIZGlE.png) "I've heard the name, but that's about it. I haven't seen much outside of Miccah or the palace, admittedly. Are you a member?" Aur asked curiously, setting down the plate he was buffing to give her his full attention.
(http://i.imgur.com/bM7YlUo.png) Seeing Kerr approach, the red haired man waved happily. "Hey Kerr! Thanks!" The knight looked embarrassed at the praise. "Although I did mess up a few times. But I'm still learning about everyone in the group., so I can work better with them" He gestured to Ayzebel.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Hey, if the worst problem you had was being too protective of someone and you didn't get seriously hurt and we still won despite it? That's a pretty good problem to have. So what were the two of you talking about?"
-
Ayzebel glanced at Kerr, regarding him silently for a second.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "We were talking about the Sect of Glass."
Then she responded to Aur's question.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Yes, I am. It's a holy order, mainly aimed at keeping the peace and hunting down the servants of Xatar, wherever they lurk. They tend to take in orphans, such as myself and Irios, and raise us. I learned my weapon skills there, while Irios was always skilled with a healing staff."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Oh right. That thing. Heard a lot of rumors about it growing up with the prince. Basically a bunch of assassins, right?"
He kept his tone light but was staring steadily at Ayzebel. He wasn't sure he trusted her fully and wasn't going to be stupid here.
-
Ayzebel met his gaze with her own, dead eyes.
(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "I'm sure Irios would be a deadly assassin with his healing staff."
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "While the Sect has acted to purge evil where it nested, as you can see, we have other duties as well. I am here to protect the Prince and fight beside you, as well as having means to open ways locked to you otherwise."

Aurelian thinks back on a past conversation with Irios and a few more gears turned in his head.
(http://i.imgur.com/W3KTAej.png) "Ah, I see." The knight said neutrally. "That explains a few things. You two must have a lot of expectations placed on your shoulders. You both wear them well, though." He nodded flashed a smile.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Hey, well you never know. He could be hiding all sorts of knives under that cloak and no one would ever suspect him. But still. Good to hear you're here for the prince and not to try and murder any of us, eh Aur? Or to try and recruit us."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/bM7YlUo.png) "Hah, we're all allies here Kerr, no need to worry about that." Aur said earnestly, smiling wider. "Off to save our world and maybe help a few others in the process!" He tries not to think about the snowy village or its talkative chief.
(http://i.imgur.com/JT2NRyQ.png) "Irios is a good person." The knight nodded, the links in his armor rattling softly at the movement. "He wouldn't hurt someone without a good reason. Besides, rumors are rumors. I bet its more complicated that that, what I usually learn about things, heh."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "Thank you, Aurelian, but we all have a great burden to bear together. We all have a great duty to our world."
Ayzebel bit back a prickle of irritation at the obvious intent behind Kerr's words.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "We are merely discussing the Sect, Kerr. You can rest your heart at ease."
(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "As you say, Aurelian, Irios is a wonderful person. And words are wind. I doubt either of is would like to think we are being judged unfairly based on some errant rumours about the Sect of Glass."
-
So she was going to fight back after all. He'd been wondering about that. He dropped the smirk from his face and gave a casual shrug.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"My comments about Irios were clearly jokes though I could have also chosen to point out that even assassins might get hurt and so having healers along would never be a bad idea. I would never judge him unfairly, not after the work he has done to save so many of us."
He trailed off slightly on purpose before continuing.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"And that's good. Aur here spent so much of his time at home, it'd be good for him to learn more about the world. Hear more about it and that sort of thing. I just get a bit overprotective of him sometimes, that's all." And he's naive enough to fall for cult BS if it was presented to him by friendly faces. So she better watch her step...
-
(http://i.imgur.com/JT2NRyQ.png) "I like to see and hear things with my own eyes and ears. Always find things a bit different than what I'm told about them." Aur explained to Ayzebel. "No judgement here. He held up his hands, palms out, and smiled. "Everyone has their own reasons to do the things they do."
(http://i.imgur.com/YMIZGlE.png) The knight hesitated for a moment. "Mind if I ask how growing up with the Sect of Glass was like? I don't really have any sort of reference for that, so I'm curious. If that's too personal, I apologize."
(http://i.imgur.com/JT2NRyQ.png) Aur glanced at his armor next to him for a moment when Kerr mentioned his mostly sheltered upbringing. "Yeah... Making up for lost time, is all. Other worlds, even. Its amazing when you take a step back and think about what we've all done and been."
-
Ayzebel smiled at Kerr. It did not reach her eyes.
(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "Do not worry. I too understand feeling protective of someone close to you. Still, one cannot shelter them from everything they dislike."
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I was saved by the Sect at a very young age, and they raised me as one of their own. The training was difficult, and they required me to be at my best. Still, one cannot argue with the results..."
(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "...and when the fate of the world is at hand, they require the best, do they not?"
-
Maribel meanwhile, had just busied herself, brushing down her clothing and looking around the caverns. She couldn't hide the fact that she was glad to return, tired of the drabness and general sense of weariness of this place.
(http://i.imgur.com/K5ZtBPj.png) "I hope we return home soon.." She mused to herself, kicking a rock down a short distance. "Then again, I wonder if this is the only rest we're gonna get for a while.." She tilted her head, and leant against the wall, looking at Giuseppina. At least somebody else was getting some rest when they could.
-
Noel was watching the conversation carefully as well, but wasn't jumping in. He'd promised Irios he would at least try to get along, so even if Ayzebel's blind fanaticism and willful ignorance was rankling his very bones so much he was grinding his teeth, he stayed quiet.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSFacepalm.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) Saved. Yes, that is exactly what happened, not taking a little girl off the streets and making a tool out of her.
-
At the particular moment, Giuseppina was awake and frowning.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"It's... it's been around two and a half, maybe three days, maybe even three and a half, we can't just keep going... we'd be passing out in the middle of battles. We... we *yawn* have to get some sleep, it's just... all the adrenaline hasn't worn off for the othere I think."
-
It wasn't few hours.
It wasn't even an hour.
It was half an hour before Nathal came out of his office, holding the mirror. It had the surface made of dark blue crystal, but otherwise looked like new.
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Here it is! I did not possess the black crystal the surface was made off, but I replaced it with more durable mineral."
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "Thank you!" Rosana did a royal curtsy while Aliberti looked the mirror over.
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Well it looks good. Everyone ready?"
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Please wait a moment." Prince Aliberti looked at Nathal.
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Yes?"
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Would you consider a little request?"
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Hmm?"
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Would you allow Akk to accompany you to your world?"
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "What!?"
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "From what I understand, you come from a world that's faring better than... ours. I would like to, hmm, establish some kind of negotiations... so we could obtain food and other things absent from our caves for centuries, now."
(http://i.imgur.com/u4Xp14N.png) "But we're not sure if this could even work, mister! From what I heard from Grand Alchemist when Aliberti was absent, our magic transports us only to the next shard or something..." Aliberti squinted his eyes at Rosana. Now he knew who couldn't keep a secret in the court. Artificer Nathal patted his beard.
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "If anything, repairing your mirror is not the only reason I replaced the crystal parts. Mayhaps it will allow us to establish some means to move between our worlds at will." Aliberti looked at the mirror, not entirely convinced.
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "So, what do you say?"
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Well..."
//OOC Poll time! Lotsa future (but minor) things depend on the voting, so go vote!
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "While I don't see much of a threat, I do question why you would send Akk as a negotiator. He does not seem the most socially inclined, or skilled in magic."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "I do not have anyone else available, and he is a soldier of the Empire, therefore he can represent us. If this method works, well, he can later return once I manage to get here some proper bureaucrat."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I see. Well, it is your decision, Liege."
-
Kerr frowned and moved closer to the prince. Quietly, he commented,
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"It seems unwise to me to bring someone that we barely know into our world. Especially when his kind appear only in children's stories. Can you imagine the reaction people would have?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Yes, I know, and that's why he isn't going to leave the Palace or even the hall. And if this works without problem, we can send him back and wait till they send someone else."
-
Kerr frowned slightly but then sighed and nodded.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Very well. As always, I will respect your ruling."
-
The mirror was fixed faster than Aur expected, the man putting his minor repairs on hold to hastily don his plate once more. As he was hurriedly reattaching the spaulders, the knight realized he was now thankful for all the monotonous training he once hated of donning and removing one's armor quickly and effectively.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Now, don't you frown at me like that, Kerr." Prince Aliberti gave his friend a soft pat on the shoulder. "It will be allright." Then he turned to Artificer Nathal.
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "I will let Akk come with us, but I cannot promise anything."
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "Thank you." The elderly artificer bowed his head in gratitude just as Akk returned.
(http://i.imgur.com/WSuQg7G.png) "They have agreed."
(http://i.imgur.com/eil2SmI.png) "I see. I am ready."
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Splendid! Chance-" But alas, Chance looked as if he was dozing off standing.
(http://i.imgur.com/zvjucE6.png) "Miranda, could you? Just be delicate this time." With that, Prince Aliberti held out the rosy brooch to the punchmonkwoman.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Angel preserve us."
-
Miranda looked up from where she had been practicing her forms in the corner.
(http://i.imgur.com/pRJuU8L.png) "Huh? Oh yeah sure!" Yay she was helping again!
She ran up to the prince and drew back her arm, focusing her energy as always. Swinging it forward she-
-stopped just before impact, remembering what happened last time. And then one-inch punch-poked the brooch with her middle knuckle, releasing her magic.
-
Prince Aliberti tensed there for a moment... then white-blue-red-pink-bright yellow lights flooded the eyes of everyone present. It was happening!...
~&~ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QNvkYAiTEo)
...and next moment there was a thunderous boom and a pained, animalistic scream as the centaur went up in flames in the middle of the ritual hall, as apprentices, and, for some reason, a host of palace guards, surrounded the place.
The body, burning hot white, crashed upon Kerr! Took Aliberti a moment to notice.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Kerr! Akk! No!"
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "Remove the body! Remove the body, heal prince's friend!" The old man screamed as it was too late for Akk, but not too late for Kerr! Some apprentices used magics to put out the flames but nothing could mask the horrid smell of burnt hair and skin of the poor centaur. The guards then dragged the charred body off Kerr, who was immediately worked upon by apprentices.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "W-What have you done, old man!"
//Akk has been brutally killed.
Route B+ embarked upon!
-
(http://i.imgur.com/37uGtHq.png)"Ghh... ughh....
The soldier was barely conscious and still unsure what had happened.
-
For the second time in about as many minutes, Noel's left hand went to his face as his right rested on his hip, his head lowered in disgust at the situation.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSFacepalm.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) Fantastic. Now we can't be certain if this is going to happen to someone every single time we use the damn thing.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Perhaps we should have our scholars look at what that old man has done to the mirror. For obvious reasons."
-
Ayzebel had drawn her sword, and held it low and ready. Her eyes darted too and fro.
She hovered protectively close to Irios.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fWVIvst.png) "What- why! What happened to that guy. He was nice-ish to us!"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/SAcDOYY.png) "AKK! KERR! What is going on? What happened?! Why did Akk burst into flames? Is Kerr going to be alright?" Aur was bewildered and confused.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Old man, why did you kill him! He was an ally, a friend!"
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "T-Those are the protective measures of our ritual, Prince Aliberti. Your father, I mean, the King himself asked us to prepare such in case some unknown beasts or such than you would be returning..."
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "And why we weren't told about that!?"
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "His Majesty thought it would be better if you didn't know, just in case-"
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Now that's just preposterous! I will go talk with father! Kerr and others should go, especially Kerr, so Father can see what kinda foolish-"
"No, your friends have to stay here, Princess." One of the higher ranked guards spoke out of nowhere.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Excuse me??"
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "Who do you think you are to order us!"
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "Prince, Princess, please! It's, ah, a necessity... can we talk about something very important? Privately?"
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "You better explain this all or I swear we will be looking for a High Priest replacement." The elderly priest bowed his head and walked outside the circle of the guards and apprentices, while four men dragged Akk's carcass away.
The guards looked at the group, but didn't pay attention to basically no one except Chance for some reason...
Prince and Princess were talking with High Priest in a hushed tone in the corner of the hall.
-
Kerr groggily sat up, noting the guards and the location. He also spotted the centaur being dragged away and grimaced.
(http://i.imgur.com/CY8Mb3l.png)"I told him..."
Remaining seated, he raised a slight eyebrow when he noticed where the guards were looking.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"So not only do we appear to be prisoners in our own land but... Hey Chance, any idea why these people would be interested in you?"
He was hoping to not only get an answer from Chance but a reaction from the guards.
-
Ayzebel merely shut her eyes and tried to focus on hearing what the Prince and High mage were discussing.
-
Aur was quieted down with the explanation, but it was clear the knight was unsettled. He moved next to Kerr and watched the guards back, still confused.
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "So... How long were we gone this time? Hopefully not as long as last?" He tried, most likely in vain, to find a familiar face among the guards.
-
Chance remained still, neck slightly craned up, slightly leaning over.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "....."
Moments passed as he slowly tipped over, then suddenly-
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "Ah!" He placed a foot behind him, catching himself before falling, "Er, my apologies. I-" A moment's pause more as he craned his head around.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "We have... returned? How long has it been this time? And why does this room smell of-" Only now did he manage to process Kerr's question, "I am... not sure? Wait. If it has been some time then the possibility remains that..." Chance suddenly went silent, face flexed in a manner resembling worry.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Remains that what? And I don't know how long we've been gone. I was a bit busy dealing with being on fire after all if someone mentioned it."
Kerr wasn't actually angry but he was annoyed and tired so he was a bit more snarky than he'd normally be with his brother.
-
The guards didn't feel like they wanted to reply to any questions.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Are you kidding!?" Rosana's burst came out loud and unexpected before Aliberti whispered something to her.
-
Kerr grimaced and then called out loudly,
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"You know, if you want us to continue on this quest, it might not be the worst idea to actually share information with all of us. Also typically considered a good idea not to kill and almost kill members of the party doing your dirty work."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "I, ah..." Chance fumbled, lowering his voice, "It is just a thought, but... my homeland's pact with the Empire and... if so much time passed with the Prince not present..." His voice trailed off.
-
The guards still did not say a word.
Prince Aliberti, visibly shaken, along with his sister and the Priest, returned to the group.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "I can't believe it... I can't..." He slowly leaned against one of the columns, while Rosana twiddled her thumbs.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Is this necessary, High Priest?"
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "Apologies, but the order was signed by King himself."
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "I see..." She looked at her brother, but he didn't say anything. "Guards, you may arrest Chance Nakoris and Maribel Rita." The guards didn't even wait for Rosana's order to be finished and they hands already grabbed Chance and Maribel, twisting their arms backwards and securing their wrists with ropes.
Prince Aliberti was still standing under the column, shocked by what he learned.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Would you mind telling the rest of us what's going on? What have these two done?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"WHAT? No! They've been fighting for us, they're our companions. Ali! You can't let this happen!"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "Rrf!" Chance winced as his arm was twisted, "Wait! I must assert with Sir Noel, may I at least know my charges?!"
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Whwhat?! What's going on?!"
Her hand trailed down to her hip, where her axes laid sheathed.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/pWpYrBj.png) "W-Woah hey! Get off of me!" Maribel was clearly pretty annoyed by this, tugging at the ropes. "What crimes have we done?" Maribel demanded, tugging again at the ropes before giving up on tugging at them.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Kingdom of Kovalia has risen against Zorestrian Empire, citing wasting time and resources chasing some ancient mythical items while Kovalian people are overtaxed and affected the worst by weather disasters... Kovalian Pegasi and Magical Knights are fighting our troops in the Hills of Blood already... Now, all Kovalians that are serving at important positions or are acquitained to important Zorestrians are being held for questioning."
Ali looked at Kerr, then at Chance, then at the guards.
(http://i.imgur.com/vAhevg1.png) "I'm sorry, Chance, Maribel but I will have allow this to proceed, for now, those are my father's orders... though, give me an hour, and I will have you out of the dungeon, I promise." With that, he nodded at the Guards, grimacing at the fact he can't overturn his father's orders.
Maribel and Chance were pushed out of the hall in disgrace.
Maribel Rita and Chance Nakoris are currently inactive!
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"Dammit, Ali, you know as well as I do that those two are innocent. And having them tossed in the dungeons is ridiculous. What trouble could they have gotten into here surrounded by all of us? But fine. Run along to your daddy and see if you can beg him into fixing this. Good luck."
He let out a disgusted snort and stalked off away from the group. He stayed in the room because he wasn't stupid, but he didn't want to be anywhere near the prince right now.
-
Irios had just been sorta... out of it after the group had returned from the caverns. Returning home, though, was a different story. Akk being burned to a crisp had certainly helped in that regard as did Chance and Maribel being arrested. Hidden by his cloak, one of Irios' hands snaked its way over to a tiny sheath on his belt; however, it quickly retracted when he realized it was only Chance and Maribel being arrested. The reasoning behind the arrest didn't bother him, it was a reasonable precaution in his mind; he only hoped Ayzebel hadn't detected his slight movement.
-
Prince Aliberti got kinda paled at this outburst, and then kind off sunk his head between his shoulders, deeply ashamed.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Aurelian?" Princess Rosana suddenly spoke. "I'm posting you on honorary duty as a Royal Dungeon Guard, allright? Please go to the dungeons immediately and see that... Kovalians currently in there are being treated well. Do you understand me?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSDisgust.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "So it's blind stupidity. Again. Why can no one think LOGICALLY?"
With a sigh, Noel joined Kerr, leaning on the wall near him.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSFacepalm.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Why is the world in such a disgustingly short supply of people who have two thoughts in their brain to rub together?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"Because everyone either assumes they know best or refuse to stand up against something that's wrong. After all, why should anyone dare stand up against the king if he orders something, regardless of how stupid it is? Even if they're his children. That'd require a spine."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fWVIvst.png) "But they've been with us the whole time. Everything sucks."
(http://i.imgur.com/fWVIvst.png)"This is dumb!"
(http://i.imgur.com/7CNQ1aq.png)"They're dumb!" she said, blowing a raspberry angrily in the direction of where the guards had left.
-
Aur was shocked and silent for most of the preceding, the response (or lack of response) to his question silencing him. When Chance and Maribel were taken, he gave the two apologetic looks but otherwise said nothing, unsure of the situation. The knight looked to the princess, hearing his name, and nodded at the task with an instinctive salute and snap to attention.
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Yes, princess, I shall see to it right away." The knight moved to follow the soldiers who took Maribel and Chance, they should be headed there. Aliberti said he would get them out of the dungeon in an hour, so Aur was to ensure that nothing happened until then. Right. The knight was thankful to have a task to occupy his mind.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Agreed. People are, essentially, sheep looking for a shepherd. So few are willing to take the risk of actually using the brains they were born with. I suppose because there's not much glory or money in thinking for one's self."
Noel raised his hands to his waist, palms up, in a sort of shrug.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSMellow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "What a colossal mess this return was. Akk gets fried and you almost die because of wards we weren't warned about, and two of our number are arrested for things they clearly are not responsible for. I suppose next we'll be finding out Ayzebel is actually a Xatar cultist, one of the angels will smite me for not believing in them, your hair will turn white, and Irios will join a cavalry unit to go fight in Kovalia."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"Yeah, and then our entire group disbands because why bother helping people who clearly have no respect for us? We're just a means to an end to them. No need to keep us informed about anything just wave and send us off to the next place."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/JZICgPl.png) "Why would Kerr's hair turn white? He's not that old."
(http://i.imgur.com/fWVIvst.png) "...you're not, right?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Thank you, Aurelian." And then the knight was off. Princess Rosana continued to lead on damage control efforts and, after a brief talk with Aliberti - and him leaving the hall - she walked up to Kerr and Noel.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "As for you, I would appreciate if you didn't make this whole situation even more tense with snarky comments and remarks. Per royal etiquette none of us can overturn the King's order, yes, and Aliberti has to beg, yes, but please understand that this is how things work on the highest levels here... especially when it comes to Aliberti, who is both eldest sibling and the heir. Can we have a little agreement, at least for next few hours, please?"
Theeeen High Priest butted in.
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "A-ah, apologies, Princess, but if I may interrupted... now that you returned to 'our' world, can I..." Rosana blinked in surprise before catching on a moment later.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Oh yes, the shard, um... I don't remember who has it..."
@Aurelian:
Aurelian was in the dungeons already, just to witness Maribel and Chance being pushed into one of the cells and the door being locked.
"This isn't a place for you, sir...?" One of the actual dungeon guards lifted his hand to bar Aurelian entry.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "That was sarcasm. Yes, I'm capable of joking."
The shaman sighed.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I'm not exactly pleased with the distrust and lack of willingness to share information that has been shown toward us, but at the same time I would prefer the world to not end just yet. I don't exactly believe that fixing this artifact will save us, but I don't see any clearly superior options so we might as well work toward that goal. I appreciate - even encourage - your skepticism toward authority, Kerr, but we should continue this journey."
At that point Rosana walked up.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I know this is how things work. I also think this is willful ignorance. But do as you like. I'm sure someone far removed from the situation knows better than we do. You are free to ignore me and talk to someone more pleasing to your ears than I if you wish. Ayzebel, perhaps."
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"What?! But why take Chance and Maribel?! It's impossible for them to have POSSIBLY been in on whatever rebellion is going on, because they haven't been in this WORLD the entire time because they've been with us! It doesn't make sense!"
-
Kerr straightened and stared at the princess for a second before pointedly turning away from her and leaning up against the wall again.
-
Noel settled in for an hour's wait.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Well then, shall we discuss something else? We have nothing but time on our hands while we wait for our compatriots to be released."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Aurelian Wolfgar, member of Prince Aliberti Yosif Zorostrian's personal guard." The knight sounded off with a snap to attention, then fell to a parade rest. "I am here on orders by Princess Rosana Zorostrian's command to act as a Royal Dungeon Guard until otherwise appointed."
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Due to recent events, I imagine the assistance will be appreciated." He spoke freely here, but still maintained composure. And to think the others complained about practicing military bearing back at training, where as now Aur was thankful to have something to fall back on without thinking.

(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "I'm sorry but I'm talking with you so that the guards aren't obliged by written word to lock you two up for dishonoring Zorestian King with your 'foul commentaries' as it would be written. Please? Be quiet? As for the shard, I think Aliberti had it, High Priest." The old man bowed his head in gratitude and then walked away.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "It's strange though... that Father didn't exclude Chance and Maribel as he sent them in the first place... or maybe it's the bout of forgetfulness again..."
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Pay me no heed." Rosana suddenly spoke after she remembered she was still within earshot from Kerr and Noel. "This whole situation coupled with all that marching in the caves, you must be all tired. Mayhaps it would be better if you all, ah, return to your rooms for now..." With that, and a worried look on her face, Princess Rosana was gone too. Only some of High Priest's apprentices remained, mostly sweeping the floor.
@Aurelian:
"I see." The guard wasn't particularily convinced, but he soon let Aurelian pass. The knight was able to move around dungeon unopposed as the people who brought Chance and Maribel in were leaving; one of the guards with Chance's spellbooks in his hands.
//Chance Nakoris and Maribel Rita are active again!
-
Kerr glanced at Noel, and then shook his head as the princess left.
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"I'm just going to my room. Better to get away from all of this for a bit. She's right too. We should sleep probably."
With that, Kerr headed off for his room, not really wanting anything to do with the rest of the group right now.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Very well. I'll be transcribing our journeys so far in the library should anyone need to find me."
With that, Noel headed back to the library to find some blank parchment and get comfortable.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "That was sarcasm. Yes, I'm capable of joking."
(http://i.imgur.com/VgD9sce.png) "...Oh. I knew that."
Miranda was thankful that the subject was back on track right away.
(http://i.imgur.com/fWVIvst.png) "If everyone is leaving, I'm gonna go practice in the courtyard outside."
-
Didn't matter to Aur if the guard was convinced or not, he could check with the Princess himself if he had a mind to. Aurelian noticed the spellbook... But given the guard and recent events, he figured it wise to not ask for it. Aliberti will have this all settled and Chance will get his book back, of this the knight had little doubt.
The knight stopped by Chance and Maribel's cell once the guards have fully left, looking in to see if they were alright.
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "You two okay? I can't get you out, but the prince will see to your release." He spoke quietly and his voice betrayed his face, sounding worried for the two.
-
Chance sat, cross legged and his head leaning against a cell wall.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Hm? Oh, Sir Aurelian." Chance straightened up, "It is no issue. To be frank, this is probably the best we can hope for, given the situation."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "If you wish for a sparring partner, Miss Miranda, I am available. I do not believe some practice would be amiss for me, either."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/iBFQYlx.png) "Well I was actually going to do my..."
She stopped. It might be fun to compare her skills against someone else. She hadn't had a good spar since she left home.
(http://i.imgur.com/pRJuU8L.png) "Sure I guess! Are you any good at fighting without weapons?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) Aurelian looked relieved. "Glad to hear you two are alright; I wish there was more I could do to make you two comfortable though. I just hope that you don't have to stay in there too long. I'm sure it was just an oversight in the decree, both of you were with us far before any of this... Stuff. And saving the world is far more important." The knight waved a gauntlet-clad hand dismissively, admittedly not too well versed on the situation himself. Politics always did mostly go over his head, the knight wasn't afraid to admit that.
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Still." The knight rested a shoulder against the wall next to the cell. "I can at least make sure you two stay safe and with friendly company until then. I hope you won't blame the Zorostrians too harshly. I'm... I'm sure this is a very difficult situation for them." The knight fell silent for a few moments, his own words sounding hollow to himself. Would he think differently if it was instead him and his brother on the other side of the bars?
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "I..." Aur hesitated. "I guess this is what you meant when you said you weren't sure if your presence settled, isn't it?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I've tried some unarmed combat, but I've always done better with a blade. Still, it's something I could do with improving on."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/LtDc2FV.png) "Well don't worry, I'll go easy on you then."
(http://i.imgur.com/bqvCTTG.png) "Here, I think I saw a nice courtyard somewhere this way."
Miranda pointed down at one of the hallways and began walking in that direction.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Ohh? Going easy on me? Those are fighting words, my friend."
Ayzebel followed her to the courtyard.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "So how shall we start?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/LtDc2FV.png) "Ready when you are." Miranda said, bring up her arms and shifting her feet into one of her fighting stances.
(http://i.imgur.com/yPBBLv1.png) "So do you have a particular style or is it just something you've picked up?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "No particular style. I've always tended to have a blade - a sword or dagger, at the least. Without something more, unarmed doesn't tend to be lethal enough."
Without warning she darted forward and jabbed towards Miranda's head.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/pRJuU8L.png) "What do you mean by- Wah!" Miranda barely managed to duck below Ayzebel's strike. Her left arm jerked up, with its back facing the sky to deflect the blow upwards. In a flash Miranda stepped back and twisted round her heels so she was flanking Ayz right.
(http://i.imgur.com/31cyjdw.png) "Are you really only interested in it for killing?" she said, before stepping forward and released a punch at Ayz's chest, punctuated by a shout.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "One always fights to kill!!"
Her forearm swung round to block the punch, before she launched a kick to the side towards Miranda's own chest.
-
Miranda jumped backwards and out of Ayz's reach.
(http://i.imgur.com/iBFQYlx.png) "That's not a very comforting thing to be hearing at a moment like this." she said before responding with a roundhouse kick of her own.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Ha! Don't worry. This is a spar, not a fight!"
Ayzebel chose to take the hit, grunting at the impact, as she grabbed the leg and hauled - using her stronger constitution and muscles to her advantage, she brought Miranda in for a savage elbow strike.
-
Miranda was unable to react in time and gasped as the air was knocked out of her and she feel to the floor. After a second she pulled herself back up into a kneeling position, breathing heavily.
(http://i.imgur.com/JZICgPl.png) "Alright, you win-" she coughed "-this round. I won't go easy on you next time."
-
Ayzebel nodded and stepped back, rubbing her arms.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "You kick hard... Another round?"
She settled into a light stance, arms raised.
-
Noel finally finished transcribing the group's adventures up to this point, so that if something were to go wrong there would at least be a record of what they had done. He sighed, rubbed his face, and rolled up the scroll. The question was, now what? He didn't feel like reading anything else in the library, and he was too mentally drained at the moment to try to solve some of the theories and equations he was working on. After drumming his fingers on the tables for a few moments, he got up and left the library. Perhaps a walk to clear his head would do him some good.
-
(https://i.imgur.com/HlpYFJI.png) "Sure." she said, still breathing heavily. "Just gimme a second. Wow you hit hard."
Miranda stayed kneeling on the ground for a short while until her breahing subsided. Feelig confident that she had recovered, Miranda stood up and returned to the location opposite Ayz she had been standing at the start of the match
(https://i.imgur.com/31cyjdw.png) "Before we start... What you said about only learning to fight for the sake of killing. Did you really mean that?"
-
Some soldiers passed Noel and he overheard a bit of the conversation of the two:
"So what's for dinner today?"
"One of the cooks made horsemeat stew, heard 's pretty good..."
Sure sounds delicious.
-
Ayzebel nodded again.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "There's no room for doubt on the battlefield. By facing you, they've already made their lives forfeit."
-
Noel made a mental note to not eat the stew. He wasn't sure if eating Akk counted as cannibalism or not, but either way, the thought of devouring a fellow sentient being made him feel a little sick. If he ran into anyone else, he would let them know so they could make their own decision about it. Rubbing his forehead with his fingers, Noel continued walking.
-
(https://i.imgur.com/fWVIvst.png) "Well I guess so. Though it sounds kinda freaky. But that's not what I meant. Kind of."
(https://i.imgur.com/iBFQYlx.png) "It's just seems weird."
-
Ayzebel frowned slightly in confusion.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "What do you mean?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/iBFQYlx.png) "Well this fighting style I use. We call it the Golden Hand back home. When my uncle taught it to me, he told me that we used it to teach concentration, discipline, self-defense, and... I forgot the last one."
(http://i.imgur.com/yPBBLv1.png) "Oh yeah! It was an appreciation for our own limits and nature's creatures. Some of the moves were invented by observing the movements of animals. Like our horses! We also have a couple ceremonies that involve sparring at the center.
(http://i.imgur.com/31cyjdw.png) "It's just seems really strange to me the idea of learning a fighting style only to be able to kill people. I mean I like to practice my forms to calm myself down when I'm upset, and it's fun just to have spars like this.
-
Aur stood his vigil, idling away the minutes. At the lack of response to his prior question he had felt he perhaps overstepped his bounds, falling into his current quiet vigil. The knight honestly didn't expect anything untoward to happen, but it never hurts to be prepared he supposes. For now, he spent his time on watch and occasionally glancing at his armor, mentally categorizing the various fixes and repairs that would eventually be needed.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "What has an appreciation for nature's creatures got to do with combat, beyond their use as warbeasts? Animals can be useful, but I don't see ow they otherwise fit into learning an effective fighting style.
I was always taught that mercy is a fool's game - you can only hope your foe does not threaten you again, or ou'll have to expend further resources to deal with him. If, however, you simply destory him in the first enconter - well, An enemy dealt with today is one that cannot return tomorrow."
-
Chance, having nodded off again, slowly drew his head upwards after a short reprieve.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "...Sir Aurelian, though I appreciate the watch, you have no doubt remained awake as long as I have over the past few days. I do not believe your regenerative ability covers sleeplessness."
The mage remained silent for a second.
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "Oh- and, yes. To the earlier question."
-
Aur drew his mind back to the present at his name being called, focusing back on Chance. Oh, he fell asleep. The knight could honestly never really tell with the mage, and neither could he blame him. Its been a hard few last days with little to no rest nor sleep.
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) The red-haired knight nodded. "Yeah, we didn't get much chance to rest or sleep and... As far as I can tell, you're also right about that as well." Aur was, in fact, horrifically tired, keeping awake through mental effort and keeping himself busy.
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "But still, can't sleep on the job. Once you two get released I'll catch up on my sleep then, I'll be fine for now. Even if the princess didn't give me this job I'd still check up on you two, she just gave me a good excuse, heheh."
(http://i.imgur.com/mzRMGyr.png) His mood sunk a little at the response to his standing question was given. "...Ah. I'm sorry, for whatever that might be worth." The knight was silent for a few moments.
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png)"Know that you'll always be Chance to us. It isn't for us to judge where you're from not to not trust you because of that. Because we know you as Chance, the magic-sensing mage who is helping save the world, a comrade in arms."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Saving the world... hm." The mage echoed, an ever slight hint of skepticism evident in his voice.
(http://i.imgur.com/OJnNmO4.gif): "Regardless, you have nothing to apologize for, and I appreciate the thought."
Tilting his head up, Chance leaned over, facing Aurelian.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Incidentally... I have been able to see the working of your internal magic in the past expedition. You are a natural conduit, and indeed it fuels into your regeneration as well. Perhaps in another life you could have been a powerful mage." Chance scratched his chin, "...I hate to pry, but do you recall the earliest instance you may have seen that power at work? You say it likely was not inherited from your parents, and yet I suppose I am too curious to let the matter subside."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Oh, ah..." Aur scratched the back of his neck with a gauntlet-clad hand, not sure how to take the compliment. Aur, a mage? He never really thought much about it before, there wasn't much opportunity to study.
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "Oh, its fine. Its pretty curious stuff to me too, honestly, so the more I can know about it the better. Let's see, the earliest instance?" The knight paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts.
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "The earliest its been at work was when it made me sick, when I was pretty young. Back then we didn't really know why, but long story short with some help we eventually found out it was this weird magic that my body was doing. I didn't really understand the specifics of it, but basically I was healing 'incorrectly.'" The knight shrugged. "After we found that out, a tincture was devised to sort that out. Beyond that, I mostly saw it at work when I wound up hurting myself because I was careless or clearing bruises away during sparring."
-
An hour have passed...
...and Princess Rosana entered the dungeon, with few guards in tow. They opened the door leading into Chance's and Maribel's cell.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Apologies for Aliberti's absence... he is busy in a tactical meeting. You two are free, but please do not leave the castle without me or Ali accompanying you. You are also off limits from the royal library and the barracks, at least for the duration of the rebellion. This is best he could bargain for. Aurelian, thank you for keeping an eye on them. Please find others and instruct them to rest, we will be leaving tomorrow."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "What has an appreciation for nature's creatures got to do with combat, beyond their use as warbeasts? Animals can be useful, but I don't see ow they otherwise fit into learning an effective fighting style.

(http://i.imgur.com/iBFQYlx.png) "I guess so? I dunno." she shrugged. "Anyways, want to have another round?"
-
Ayzebel settled back into her combat stance. She reached up and loosened her cloak a little, then nodded.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I'm ready."
-
Miranda nodded, and got into a stance of her own. She closed her eyes, and took in a deep breath.
Her eyes opened, and in a second she was lunging across the field until she was in front of Ayz. Shifting to a more grounded stance, with one foot in front of the other, she advanced on her with a barrage of punches.
-
Ayzebel's eyes widened a fraction, taken aback at the sudden speed Miranda showed. Her teeth gritted, Ayz blocked and slapped aside most of the blows. One caught her in the stomach, and she used the movement to wrench off her cloak and tossed it at Miranda, before thrust-kicking towards her chest.
-
Miranda took the blow in the side and was forced to step back. The cloak hit her in the face, blinding her for a moment before she pushed it out of the way.
She took a quick scan of her surroundings to re-situate herself, before running towards the other girl again, swinging her leg in an arcing kick.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/rArwFJa.png) "Predictable."
She rolled to the side and launched a sweep at Miranda's remaining leg.
-
Miranda was knocked down by Ayz's sweep, but used her momentum to swing her own legs into Ayz, pushing against the ground with her hands.
-
Ayz allowed herself to stumble onto Miranda, straddling her and beginning to rain down punches.
-
Miranda raised her arms up to guard. She took the blows until she got a good opportunity to kick upwards and brought it back down to pull on Ayz's leg, before grabbing one of her arms. She gave a shove and rolled the two over before jumping up back to her feet and getting back into a defensive stance.
-
Ayzebel scrambled back, her hands leaving furrows in the ground, before getting back onto her feet and taking the offensive again. She probed Miranda's defences with swift jabs, unwilling to commit to a full-out attack and fall into a trap.
-
Chance's forehead flexed, like a raising eyebrow.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "It made you sick prior? That is odd... I cannot help but wonder why that would have chang-"
Princess Rosana entered, causing Chance to immediately jump to attention.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Princess Rosana. Of course, I am grateful for your and Prince Alberti's help." He immediately bowed as best he could, pausing for a moment, "Erm. If the barracks are off limits, is there perchance anywhere I can get proper rest?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Um... tonight it will be stables, I'm afraid. Or you could ask one of the kitchen ladies to find you some cozy storage room. I'm sorry. Hopefully once we will be under way, you will be allowed to sleep in a tent."
-
Maribel looked up at the princess, getting up and giving a short bow.
(http://i.imgur.com/K5ZtBPj.png) "I see.. Thank you, princess. Your speed in sorting this out speaks wonders of your kindness." She started to open her mouth, as if to say more, but stopped, instead turning it into a sigh and stretching her legs. Upon hearing Rosana's response, her shoulders slumped.
(http://i.imgur.com/pWpYrBj.png) "I see... W-well.. I'll start looking for some blankets, Chance."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Apologies again. Come, let's not stay in this dungeon anymore."
And she led them, and Aurelian, outside of the imperial prison.
---
Next day, over three thousand loyal, trusted soldiers were gathered outside Imperial Capital, in several war camps temporarily built north of the capital. Prince Aliberti, along with Princess Rosana, were both 'aides' of the esteemed strategist, General Oinkand, and they had their own tent.
Now, in Prince's tent...
(http://i.imgur.com/oOnBXFh.png) "Thank you all for accompanying me. I'm sorry for yesterday, Maribel, Chance." Aliberti looked at Kerr and Noel, but didn't say a word.
(http://i.imgur.com/PZ9FeJI.png) "How did it go with the old General?"
(http://i.imgur.com/oOnBXFh.png) "I heard the reports, I saw the maps... I consulted with the General and offered him few possible venues of striking the rebels... he didn't settle on anything but promised to send me-" A young woman nonchalantly entered the tent and saluted.
(http://i.imgur.com/oOnBXFh.png) "Ah, speak of the devil. You must be Ivory Dionsis, right? You have something from General Oinkand?"
//Ivory Dionsis is in!
-
(http://i.imgur.com/LZNkKUw.png)"Yes, your Highness. The general asked me to deliver this to you."
-
Aliberti took the letter from Ivory.
(http://i.imgur.com/oOnBXFh.png) "Thank you very much." He then broke the seal and read the letter.
(http://i.imgur.com/PZ9FeJI.png) "Orders?" Aliberti continued to read, then looked up from the letter.
(http://i.imgur.com/oOnBXFh.png) "Yes, those are orders."
(http://i.imgur.com/PZ9FeJI.png) "Aliberti!"
(http://i.imgur.com/oOnBXFh.png) "Sorry... for now we're packing up and heading north, that's all I can say." As to confirm Prince's words, the mobilization trumpet was heard outside in near the same moment.
(http://i.imgur.com/oOnBXFh.png) "Ayzebel, Noel, can I have you two for a moment?" Aliberti gestured to a 'corner' of the tent, or rather, just few feet away from everyone else.
-
Noel didn't notice the look Aliberti gave him, as he was currently frowning and staring off into the distance.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSMellow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) I'm surprised that a rebellion that could easily be handled by the army is considered a higher priority than attempting to save the world. There is little point in fighting this war if the planet is smashed to bits later. Still, I suppose there's little chance of rebuking everyone involved once we're all already dead, so I might as well save my breath. The sooner we get this done with, the sooner we can get back to the important things.
At the mention of his name, Noel raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ayzebel. Why her? He shrugged.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "If you wish."
-
Ayzebel returned a flat look at Noel before turning to the Prince.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Is there something you need, Liege?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/oOnBXFh.png) "Would you be able to sneak into middle of enemy camp, deal with about six light mages and possibly a skilled swordswoman on your own, and, um, manage to escape in one piece?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "In a direct fight? That would be... difficult, Liege. Seven is a lot against two. How skilled is the swordswoman?"
She shrugged.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I could try poisoning them, but they may have antidotes or healers able to keep them alive until they can process the poison, unless it's sufficiently lethal."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I do not trust this woman. I fully expect that if you were to send the two of us off, only she would come back with some excuse about how I didn't make it - with the truth being that she stabbed me in the back as soon as it was convenient. Besides that, I'm a scholar, not an assassin. It's possible I could handle six light mages on my own, but I'm not in a rush to test that possibility deep behind enemy lines with Ayzebel as my only ally."
-
Ayzebel crossed her arms.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Don't be stupid, mage. For the moment, we are both forces of the Crown, and I'm professional enough to treat you as such. Especially in a difficult task like that. Though, as you say, you are a scholar, not an assassin. I wouldn't chosen to take you either, were there alternatives."
A shame. Even if she'd pulled out of the mission part way through, it would have be convienent, as he said, if Noel had fallen to enemy attacks.
-
Noel let the comment slide. He'd made his point.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Then there's something we agree on. Regardless. Your highness, if you still want to send a small advance force, I would suggest adding Irios and either Kerr or Aurelian to the two of us. Irios can keep us alive, and the Miccahn brothers are both solid soldiers."
Unsaid but certainly in Noel's mind was the thought that if Irios was around, Ayzebel would be more focused on keeping the healer safe than on planning a way to get rid of him. Also, he didn't distrust Irios, and that was more than he could say about many people. Well. He did trust Kerr a little; the man had challenged him on points, and showed a willingness to be aware of the situation... and yet ironically he trusted Aurelian for the exact opposite reason. The younger brother was too innocent-seeming to imagine plotting ill for his compatriots.
-
Kerr felt slightly better after resting the last night, but the events of the day before still had him upset. Not only had someone died when he'd tried to prevent the whole thing from happening (albeit unknowingly) but then two companions were arrested, the prince had seemingly done nothing to stop it from happening even if he and the princess had fixed it in the end, and they were at war. He couldn't make himself regret the comments he'd yelled at Ali yesterday, but it still hurt to see the way the prince looked at him and Noel. He refused to let it show, keeping a straight face and simply standing loosely at attention, waiting for further orders.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/oOnBXFh.png) "The more people I send with you, the less will be able to distract the others. You would be transported inside... but you would have to find your way out. Or at least hide till we all arrive. I should order you to do this, but I won't, so I will ask just once more - can you do it, or not?"
-
Noel closed his eyes, took a deep breath in through his nose, and let it out as a quiet, long-suffering sigh. He turned to Ayzebel.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "How about it? Are you up for potentially dying with me rather than living with Irios?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "That sounds rather pleasant, mage, so I suppose we'll just have to succeed. If it's your order, Liege, I will go. Will we need a disguise?"
She pulled a small, sealed envelope out her cloak and handed it to the Prince.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "In addition, if I do not return, please ensure Irios gets that."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSFacepalm.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Indeed. I forgot who I was speaking with."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Very well, we shall make this attempt."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) I've dealt with people plotting my downfall for practically my entire life... which I suppose would make it difficult to tell if this is a legitimate request or an attempt to get rid of me after the events yesterday. It feels like a bad idea through and through, though... Eh...

(http://i.imgur.com/oOnBXFh.png) "Good. When it's time, you will be notified and shall go with couple of mages."
~~Chapter 4: Hills of Blood~~
(http://i.imgur.com/bhHktL9.png)
The army marched one day and one night northwards at steady pace, the forward guard routing several scouting parties. Besides that, reports of border garrisons and units from other regions reached the ears of the soldiers; despite the incursion into the Hills of Blood, the Kovalians were heled at bay and both sides drowned themselves in blood and corpses of the fallen.
Despite the Kovalian policies of negotiating first, all attempts to communicate were met with refusal.
A tired and bruised scout rode up to the column, his horse breathing hard and sweating a lot. The man dismounted, approached Prince Aliberti and Princess Rosana and handed them a parchment. Ali read the it, and then handed it to his sister. She read the the scroll as well.
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "So Princess Eurene is leading the main force? She is younger than both of us!"
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "I honestly thought she would be in the back and her advisors would be in front... but this seems not the case." Aliberti summoned a mage from the side and spoke with him for a moment.
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "I see. That is good... where's Noel and Ayzebel?"
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "I think I saw them around the medics behind us? I shall get them for you, brother." Much like most of Prince's entourage, Noel and Ayzebel were currently 'deployed' to guard the healers and nurses that were traveling by wagons few rows behind the main column. Princess Rosana Turned her horse around and rode through the field of Zorostrian people, to Kerr and others.
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "I hope you're not getting bored! Princess Eurene's main camp is ahead of us, so you should prepare for combat. Also Ali is calling for Noel and Ayzebel, but I don't know what for."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I see, Princess."
She pecked Irios on the cheek.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I will return soon. Keep yourself safe."
She began heading towards the Prince.
-
Noel glanced at Ayzebel, then nodded to Irios to indicate he hadn't forgotten his promise. Even if he was expecting the worst of Ayzebel, he had given his word as a noble, and would do his best to keep her alive.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I suppose I'm as ready as it's possible to be. If all goes well, we will see the rest of you soon."
He followed the Glass assassin, raising a hand to shoulder level in a sort of 'farewell' gesture as he broke ranks.
-
Ivory, who had been assigned to the Prince's entourage soon after delivering the orders, remounts her wyvern when the Princess says to get ready for combat.
-
Irios had been inspecting his heal staves, and had just mentally noted that one of them was ready to break, when Ayzebel had suddenly pecked him. He was dumbstruck for a brief moment and then after that had passed he was confused; had he missed something somehow? Why were only Noel and Ayzebel the only ones being called? By the time he had his question ready he'd have to follow after them to ask it and, considering the current situation, that probably wouldn't be smart. He asked the Princess something instead.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"Excuse me, Princess, but do you have a guess for what the Pince wants with them?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "I don't know! Some kind of important errand, would be my guess. Aliberti is quite secretive about it."
---
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "Thank you for coming swiftly. The mages are ready to take you to a secluded location, far from the main encampment of Kovalian forces. Our scouts scoured the area twice but didn't find a single enemy there, so it should be safe. Ahh..." Aliberti scratched his cheek.
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "I forgot, we need the others too. Ay-"
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "Noel. Could you get everyone else here? Sorry for making you run errands."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyebrow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) If we're the only two going, why do we need everyone else here?
This request just got stranger and stranger. With a shrug, he left and went back to the group.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Follow me. No time to explain."
He turned and went back to the prince.
-
Ayzebel regarded the Prince quizzically, but said nothing.
-
Maribel gave a confused look and shrugged.
(http://i.imgur.com/K5ZtBPj.png) "Very well." And thus followed Noel.
-
Ivory nods quietly and follows Noel.
-
Irios merely nodded his head.
Noel's reappearance only served to confuse Irios more; however, he followed along with everyone else without asking any questions.
-
Kerr rolled his eyes but followed quietly.
-
Aur follows as asked, doing a final check on the straps of his armor. All accounted for and sturdy!
-
Prince's group went north, Noel, Ayzebel and the mages went eastwards.

"We will form the circle of transportation here. Give us a moment." The six black mages began clearing the area from random trash.
---
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "...and while we will be making noise, Ayzebel and Noel will strike at the tent of Princess Eurene... and kill her." Rosana didn't reply for a while.
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "Is there no other way?"
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "I'm afraid not."
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "It's hard to sneak around with a group of mounted guards, by the way."
(http://i.imgur.com/Khk3giw.png) "Sorry. As the good General said, they're here for 'safety reasons'..." Rosana involuntarily glanced at Chance's direction, the poor mage squished between six gruff and not particularily friendly horsemen.

(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Irios, you should move back. We don't want you on the front lines. I can take over your position and take on those horses if possible. Aur and I tend to be a good front line after all."
-
Noel glanced at Ayzebel. This had gone wrong, instantly, and she hadn't made a move yet. In other words, it seemed like it was going to be up to Noel to try to keep all of them alive and moving.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Everybody! Take cover!"
He turned to Ayzebel and spoke quietly.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Get your bow out and get ready. We're going to try to lure them into the open spaces between the trees and hills."
Noel to 10-8. On Ally turn, and if Gig doesn't protest, move Shaman B to 9-9, Shaman C will hold (or if possible to attack an enemy from his current position OR 7-11 he can do that), Shaman D will move to 5-9 and attack (if possible, otherwise just hold on 5-9), Shaman E will head to 6-6, and Shaman F will head to 6-5 and attack if an enemy happens to be in range from there (otherwise, just hold at 6-5).
-
Ayzebel waas already dipping arrows into a small vial of poison, and looked up to meet Noel's eyes.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Very well. Move."
10, 7, poison short bow, make sure short bow is equipped.

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Then follow me. We're going to stick together as much as possible."
Noel raised his hands to chest height in a sort of gesture.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I made a promise to Irios, so I'll do my best to get us both out of this safely."
He spread his hands at waist level as he walked backwards (to keep his eyes on Ayzebel) to the west, toward the trees, and shrugged. As he reached the familiar and comforting darkness of the tree's shade, he drew his tome in preparation for the coming skirmish. also u got ocelot'd gig
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Quell your paranoia for a moment, mage. We've a battle to fight."
She looked around for the enemy, seeing they weren't close yet. She was a silent a moment, then shot a glare at the mage.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "...and what else did you talk to Irios about?"
Don't you talk to him! He's mine!
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSFacepalm.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "That request was less 'I want to keep you in my eyesight at all times' and more 'if we stay together we have a better chance of survival'."
He sighed, then answered her question.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "A few things. He's worried about you."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/2vnVwqc.png) "He is?"
She couldn't help feel a brief spark at Irios being concerned for her.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Wait, he is? Why?"
-
Noel sighed. This wasn't going to be easy, mainly because he didn't think she would believe him. He was pretty anti-Glass and saying Irios was the same, even if true, would sound iffy coming from him.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Answer me this, first. How do you think your friend feels about the Sect of Glass?"
-
She frowned.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Much like I. Grateful to the Sect for raising us, and proud in being part of their holy mission."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "That's where you're wrong. When we were in Akk's world, he told me your cult has been trying to get rid of him for a long time, and that you protected him. There's no love lost between Irios and the Glass."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "He is worried that should he choose to leave the cult, you wouldn't follow him. Clearly you are important to him, and to be frank neither he nor I want to see you waste your life as a puppet. Irios because you are his friend, and I..."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSMellow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I, because every time I look at someone like you, I see what could have been if it wasn't for indoctrination. Someone who could have been a scholar furthering our knowledge of the world, or an architect designing monuments that will last far beyond our meager years, or an explorer rediscovering old or lost civilizations, or an artist or musician that could inspire people for generations. I see that, all the potential greatness, and I see what has been decided for you: nothing but a tool to remove people the elders don't like. People who could also be great, and will never have the chance either."
-
Ayzebel was silent for a long moment.
(http://i.imgur.com/XH9b1xO.png) "I... I had no idea..."
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "...that you could tlk such crap with a straight face. Irios? Wanting to leave the Sect? Wanting me to leave too?"
(http://i.imgur.com/6HM8gna.png) "I'm not letting you turn me against him. Or him against me. He's mine!"
-
Noel rolled his eyes.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Of course, I should have remembered you're so blinded by religion that those empty eyes of yours only see what they want to see."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "At what point did I try to turn you against him? Or for that matter claim him, as you are absurdly possessive for a woman who doesn't seem to know her friend as well as she thinks she does? I have no reason to lie about something he could tell you himself, were he not afraid of upsetting you. Or what did you think we left the inn to talk about?"
Noel sighed again. He seemed to be doing that a lot these days, but then, he was dealing with a lot of people who didn't seem to view knowledge and learning as the ultimate goal of humanity these days, too. There was also the fact that quite a few of those people he was currently having to endure dealing with were monsters and bandits trying to kill him, so it was understandable that his nerves were more than a little frayed.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSMellow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I told him there was little chance you would listen to me. At least I tried. And I meant every word I said before. Whether you choose to believe me or not is your decision, but I've spoken only honestly to you since we've met."
-
If Irios moves, take his spot. Else, move to 12-8
-
Irios was not okay. Why had Ayzebel and Noel, of all people, been tasked with the mission to sneak in and kill the princess. He might have sworn off killing when he took up the heal staff but he was just as skilled at sneaking around. Irios turned to look a Kerr with an unusual fire in his eyes and looked like he was about to tell the rainbow to go screw himself. Suddenly a shiver went down his back, like he'd suddenly been tossed into a hole that'd be nearly impossible to safely climb out of, and he lost his vigor.
(http://i.imgur.com/VC4jPAA.gif)"Fine," was all he said as he slipped passed Rosana and Chance and into a different patch of trees.
Irios moves to 15,9.
-
12-8
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "As if I'd believe you. Irios trusts me. He'd tell me anything. I'm sure of it. Not leave you to tell me second hand!"
She abruptly snarled and broke off, readying her bow.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Now shut up and fight. I don't want to hear anything from you unless it's directly relevant to our mission now."
-
Aur inches forward to [12,7]!
-
Giuseppina advanced into the forest by Aur, drawing her axe as she stood next to the armored man.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Right..."
12, 11!
-
13-7

Noel stared at Ayzebel for a few long moments in disbelief.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "It's even worse than I thought."
He shook his head and opened his tome to the correct page, readying himself for battle.

The remaining shaman stepped closer to Noel and Ayzebel.
"I... I can't transport you to... to the camp on my own." He mumbled out the obvious.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/OexsNql.png) "Then what?"
Ayzebel hissed as she pulled the arrows out before sipping at the fungal tonic.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Can we still continue at all?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "If you idiots had LISTENED to me, you wouldn't be the last one left. Whatever. Can we still sneak in, or is this plan a total failure?"
-
"I would rather prefer that you drop your silly plan and surrender." Several bladesmen, backed by mages and archers, stepped from behind the trees and bushes from north, east and south. A young woman in the blue armor of Kovalia approached from the west. With her included, there were now about fifteen to twenty Kovalians surrounding Noel, Ayzebel and the other shaman.
(http://i.imgur.com/3K6SKK3.png) "Before you do anything rash, I will inform you that Prince Aliberti and Princess Rosana have been captured and most of their little troupe killed. Put down your weapons if you want to be brought to them alive rather than dead."
-
Noel put his back to Ayzebel's and grabbed the shaman's shoulder, pulling him to his side so he could whisper to him.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Can you get ONE of us out?"
-
"N-no... the amount of people to transport is not the issue, it's the number of casters required-
(http://i.imgur.com/3K6SKK3.png) "MAYHAPS I wasn't clear enough. Cease your schemings and decide! Do you surrender or not?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSDisgust.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Damn it. There goes that plan."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I suppose we have no choice. If I may ask, how did you know we were out here?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/3K6SKK3.png) "Why not. You think that General Oinkand, born and raised in Kovalia, would so eagerly go and murder our people? In fact, the whole rebellion was kept in the dark due to his involvement. Without someone so high in Zorostrian ranks, we wouldn't have a smallest chance of success."
(http://i.imgur.com/3K6SKK3.png) "Capture of Prince Aliberti was his idea also. He learned that the Prince is rash in decisions and eager to prove himself in battle, and also blindly loyal to the chains of command. So a bait was planted, General Oinkand formed the 'assasination plan' for your people, and then we just had to wait for Prince Aliberti to show up near our encampment so that our pegasus riders could snatch him. Simple, effective, successful."
(http://i.imgur.com/3K6SKK3.png) "Last chance. Drop your weapons and surrender." The mugshot-less shaman dropped his tome and raised his hands without further questioning.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSFacepalm.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Oh for fuck's sake. They suspected Chance and Maribel, who weren't even on this plane of existence at the time the rebellion started, but let a high ranking general in charge of the defense just slip through the net? No, you know what? Here. Take the damn tome. If our leaders really let this sort of thing happen we deserved to have failed."
Noel held his tome out, a disgusted expression on his face.
-
There seemed to be a ringing in her ears, puncuated only by the thunder of her heartbeat. Despite that, her voice was level.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "What happened to the healer that was with Prince Aliberti?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/3K6SKK3.png) "Healer? We've put the healers to do their job, of course. They're always valuable in the wartime."
(http://i.imgur.com/3K6SKK3.png) "Your sword and bow, now."
-
Ayzebel breathed out. So Irios was probably alive. Good. That meant she had to survive and rescue him, if possible. She glanced around at the surrounding troops.
Her tiny knife was concealed, along with a lockpick, so if they weren't discovered she had a decent chance of escaping.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Well, then, it seems I have no choice. I surrender."
She unbuckled her sword and let her bows drop to the ground.
-
The guards took the weapons.
//All (well, almost all) of both groups' weapons have been confiscated by Kovalian troops. You will be issued new stuff later.
"Captain Alma, we have all their weapons."
(http://i.imgur.com/3K6SKK3.png) "Great. We're heading back to the camp, keep'em in line people." And so Noel and Ayzebel and the other shaman were marched from the forest into the camp, which was located just few minutes away to the west.
Inside the camp, the atmosphere was jovial, so to speak. Few wounded were resting while the rest was apparently partying, or at least loudly celebrating something. Not many have paid attention to trio of new captives.
They were soon put into a fenced area - like a livestock - where Chance, Kerr and all others were. Few cavaliers were here as well. Irios and one other healer were nearby, not especially happily tending to Kovalian wounded. Both the fenced area and the healers were being watched by several soldiers stationed around.
Prince Aliberti and Princess Rosana were missing, though.
//Both groups are now fully active!
Just as the fence was being 'closed' after Noel and his two companions were herded in, a young squire ran up to the caramel-haired captain and whispered something.
(http://i.imgur.com/3K6SKK3.png) "Oh, of course." She motioned for the guards to open the fence a bit. "You, green-haired man, you are Noel the historian?"
-
Noel nodded.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I am. Why, do you want me to document the military's complete bungling against the rebellion?"
-
Ivory sits quietly within the fenced area. What is there to talk about, when they're a prisoner of war? She idly wondered how valid her orders were when they'd come from a traitor.
-
Giuseppina sat quietly too, far too timid to speak up and say anything even if it weren't potentially dangerous to her health. So she just frowned deeply and tapped her knee on the ground. They'd taken her axe, but at least they hadn't taken her gold and jewelry: she'd feel absolutely terrible if she was just out here all plain and homely, as if being a prisoner wasn't bad enough. And then they hadn't taken her lucky coin, though that was her secret weapon, so to speak.
-
Ayzebel still had her lockpicks. Not that they would help right this second, but nonetheless they were still good to have. And Irios was unharmed which was what mattered. She spoke to the rest.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I assume you are all uninjured? Where is the Prince and Princess?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/LZNkKUw.png)"We're fine. The Prince and Princess... they took them away. We weren't told where."
-
Chance sat, quietly clenching and unclenching his hand, face flexed enough to indicate irritation. Whether that irritation was at the situation- a traitor amidst the Zorostrian generals not held up to scrutiny when he was- or at himself for not taking action was anyone's guess.
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Dunno..."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Probably in either better quarters fitting their status or being dictated terms of surrender before they're ransomed back home."
Noel shrugged as he waited for the brunette to get to her point.
-
Ever since his capture Irios had had his hand on his hidden knife, or he would if it hadn't been taken; instead his hand was hovering over where it would've been. Even if he wasn't an assassin anymore he still had the mentality of one, death before capture and all that. This had been, of course, on the assumption Ayzebel was dead in the first place; so seeing her being marched into the cell, but alive, curbed those thoughts.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/3K6SKK3.png) "You will be a witness and signatory of the historic treaty, establishing a free, independent Kovalia! Now come, don't make the Princess wait, or you will incur her terrible wrath." With that, two guards 'helped' Noel out of the fenced area by dragging him and pulling him by his arms.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSDisgust.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Fine, fine. Could you let go? I'm not going to run away. You took my tome and I'm not exactly a powerhouse; I'm damn sure not stupid enough to think I can fight my way out or outrun a pegasus."
-
The guards did not push Noel anymore but still kept him between themselves to see every his move. Captain Alma accompanied him too, and led him inside the tent.
(http://i.imgur.com/g0lquaA.png) "Princess, I brought in the person whose presence you requested." Princess Eleonore nodded while Princess Rosana jumped from a cushion and walked up to the mage.
(http://i.imgur.com/PZ9FeJI.png) "Noel, are you alright? How's everyone?" Prince Aliberti, on other hand, was sitting at a small table, staring at a scroll, densely written in small script. A quill and ink bottle were nearby, but the Prince was devastated and kept silently staring at one spot at the table. He wasn't eager to sign anything.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "They're alive. I imagine they're all in the same frame of mind as I am."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "However, I'm going to withhold everything I would like to say right now. I'm sure we don't have time for it."
He gestured at the scroll.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I assume this is Kovalia's demands. What are they?"
-
Kerr had winced when he heard the talk of a treaty, as well as the fact that it was the princess asking for Noel, but stayed where he was, seated, quietly staring off away from the rest of the group. Nothing had been going right for him ever since they started this damn adventure, and he wanted nothing more than to be back in the palace away from everything.

(http://i.imgur.com/j6BEieV.png) "Nothing overly presumptuous. Feel free to peruse it, mister Noel." Princess Eleonore stood up to pass the scroll to Noel and lo, he could see that the stories of her... small stature weren't overexaggerated. She was about Aliberti's age, but she was only slightly over five feet tall.
The scroll read as follows:
It is the mutual desire of both the Kingdom of Kovalia and its senior state, the Zorestrian Empire, to cease hostilities between the two nations and resume an amicable political relationship.
This will be assured on the grounds that Kingdom of Kovalia will immediately cease being a vassal and dependent state of Zorestrian Empire, and instead be granted the ability to self-rule and will not be required to provide any taxation or tribute to the Zorestrian Throne.
Furthermore, Zorestrian Empire will empty the castles currently garrisoned by its forces in the territory of Kingdom of Kovalia and return their ownership and gathered supplies to Kovalian Crown.
Also, every Zorestrian courtier will be removed from the Kovalian palace and all administrators and Imperial overseers will vacant their posts in Kovalian cities and garrisons, effective immediately.
It is the wish of Princess Eleonore that any Zorestrian soldier that wishes to remain in Kovalia will be allowed to, provided they are willing to join ranks of Kovalian Army and/or marry (or have married) a Kovalian and/or they already have children with a Kovalian.
This wish shall be assumed granted by signature of Princess Aliberti or Princess Rosana, of Zorestria, on this scroll.
It is the wish of Prince Aliberti and Princess Rosana that Kovalia ceases to interfere with the plan of saving the known world from the impact of the great rock of the sky.
This wish shall be assumed granted by signature of Princess Eleonore of Kovalia, on this scroll.
This document has been written and given for signature of interested parties on 38th Kavern, ZY 1019.
Signatories:
Princess Eleonore, Kovalia
Princess Rosana let out a sigh.
(http://i.imgur.com/PZ9FeJI.png) "You will... sign it at the end. After Aliberti."
(http://i.imgur.com/j6BEieV.png) "As it should be. Please remember to write 'witness' somewhere after you name, too." With that, Princess Eleonore sat at the table again, opposite from Aliberti, and stared at her future-husband with pity in her eyes.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSmirk.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I take it the wedding is off, then?"
Noel figured people reaped what they sowed, and this loss due to a massive oversight was more or less what Zorostria deserved. It didn't matter to him either way in the end. He was getting stronger already; by the time their journey finished, either the meteor would hit and kill them all, or he would be strong enough to return to Miccah and take his vengeance. He supposed it might affect relations with Miccah eventually, but that was a concern for after eliminating the Belvoir family and regaining his inheritance.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I understand. I'll sign where necessary. If I may... Aliberti, do hurry and sign it. Every moment we waste here is a moment we don't have to train up new translocaters, since this rebellion managed to get five of them killed. And we need them as soon as possible so we can get back to hunting shards. If we don't, then all of this won't even matter. Either we'll save the world, or it'll be destroyed; in the former case you'll be remembered more for that than ceding Kovalia, and in the latter there won't be anyone left to care."
-
Aliberti struck the table with his fist and then stood up, fuming at Noel and his face red and tears forming in the corners of his eyes.
(http://i.imgur.com/PZ9FeJI.png) "Noel! Can't you at least try to be... be understanding here?" Princess Eleonore closed her eyes, deciding to politely not stare at her angry, defeated to-be-husbando.
(http://i.imgur.com/PZ9FeJI.png) "I will sign it. After all, i have the same powers-"
(http://i.imgur.com/oOnBXFh.png) "No!" Aliberti moved forward and seized the paper from Noel. Then he sat down at the table.
(http://i.imgur.com/oOnBXFh.png) "I'm the one signing papers in this army and the one responsible for the signatures. Me and me alone." After a moment of hesitation, he dipped the quill in the ink and signed the document. Naturally, Princess Eleonore handed him a copy as well, and he signed that one too, without further delay.
(http://i.imgur.com/j6BEieV.png) "Please, Mister Noel, your signature here and here." She pushed both documents toward him as Aliberti turned his face away, his sister giving him a pat on the shoulder.
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "This is me being understanding. If I wasn't, you would be hearing exactly what I think of allowing General Oinkand to slip one over on everyone while..."
Noel took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Aliberti had probably learned from this mistake. There was no point in rubbing it in. When the papers were handed to him, he quickly signed his name, title, and that he was a witness to the event.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "There. We're finished here. Now we can get back to making sure there's actually a planet left for either kingdom to exist on."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/j6BEieV.png) "Thank you, Mister Noel. You will now be returned to the fenced area but we will let you and your friends freed soon, and then I will have some of my knights escort you for a brief while. Captain Alma, please take Mister Noel back to his friends. I have to talk with Aliberti. And Rosana." With a salute, Alma took Noel by hand and then 'helped' him out of the tent. And then he was marched back to the fenced 'pen' for the captives.
Irios and the other healer was behind the fence as well, now.
-
Noel visibly shuddered when Alma took his hand, but made no vocal protest. Once he was back inside the fenced area, he dusted himself off.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Well, that settles it. Kovalia doesn't belong to the Empire any longer, in case you're curious about what happened."
-
Ayzebel had immediately moved over to Irios, once he was put inside.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I'm glad you're not hurt. They claimed several of the Prince's band had been killed." she had said quietly.
Noel visibly shuddered when Alma took his hand, but made no vocal protest. Once he was back inside the fenced area, he dusted himself off.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Well, that settles it. Kovalia doesn't belong to the Empire any longer, in case you're curious about what happened."
Ayzebel seemed unfazed by the news.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "An issue to solve after the apocalypse is averted, I suppose."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSMellow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "That's my opinion as well; there's no point in squabbling over territory if we all die soon."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Aliberti seemed to be taking it hard so I was a lot lighter on him than I perhaps should have been. I can't believe... of all the stupid mistakes to make!"
Noel sighed again.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Not that it matters to me, I suppose. I'm not from either country and I'll probably be heading home once the crisis is averted."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"I'm glad you're alright too; if you hadn't shown up I was ready to use my last resort," he whispered back. With his knife gone, that probably would've meant snapping his heal staff and stabbing himself with it.
As for the situation with Aliberti, Irios was hard pressed care at this point in time.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"I fail to see why they made us come out and do this; in fact, the Empire would've been better off if they had just had us continue collecting fragments."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "You're correct, but I'll give Kovalia credit; they planned this well. They knew Aliberti would want to take part in this and capturing him gave them their freedom. If it didn't involve me in the slightest I would applaud their cleverness and expert execution."
-
Chance immediately stood at attention.
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "Kovalia is-?!"
The mage caught himself, glancing at the others, before quickly turning aside.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "I... suppose that is the most logical step they would take from their position. They must have had an official observing the proceedings, might I ask who?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "The five in attendance were, on Zorostria's side, the prince and princess; on Kovalia's side, Princess Eleonore and Captain Alma; and as a neutral Miccahn and historian, I was called upon to sign as a witness and chronicle the proceedings."
Noel closed his eyes and remembered.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "The terms were that Kovalia was no longer a vassal state and would have their goods, lands, and castles restored; that the war would end and any Zorostrian soldier that wishes to pledge allegiance to Kovalia, for example by marriage, would be allowed to do so; and that Kovalia wouldn't interfere with our group's efforts to save the world."
-
Ivory gives a glance at both of the Kovalians; this must be interesting news for them.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "I see. To consider this much in preparation. I can only wonder exactly what occurred while we remained in the other world."
Chance noticed the couple people glancing in his and Maribel's direction, and- after a moment's realization- scowled.
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "Ah... This only serves to make our situation all the more ambiguous."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSLOL.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I'm sure Princess Eleonore would spare you for the effort."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "For what it's worth, any blame is on the royal family of the Empire. Instead of scrutinizing their own military leaders, they decided to investigate people who weren't even here when the rebellion started. While I do feel a little sympathy toward Aliberti for getting tricked in such a manner, this really is entirely Zorostria's fault that the rebellion was won so quickly and decisively."
-
Kerr picked up a small rock and threw it at Noel, aiming for his chest area.
(http://i.imgur.com/UZMKTTp.png)"Just shut up about it already, alright? Mistakes were made, it's over and done with, soon we'll be back on whatever fool's errand they have us on and they'll stop caring about us again."
-
Ivory looks away from Chance and Miribel.
(http://i.imgur.com/LZNkKUw.png)"I wonder how valid my orders are now, since they came from the General."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "Erm, yes. I have no doubts that Princess Saria and the Kovalian commanders will have no issue with my and miss Maribel's continued service in locating the shards."
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "However I am more concerned whether the upper echelons of Zorostrian will take this slap to the face- so to speak- lightly. So it remains to be seen whether us two will-"
Chance's ear perked when he heard the rock thrown by Kerr sail through the air, and immediately went silent.
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"I... I don't really see how arguing is going to do anything useful... it happened and there's nithing we can do about it, right? So..."
Giuseppina sighed. She didn't honestly care about Kovalia, really, but she didn't like how things are going.
-
Noel rubbed his chest with a frown as the rock bounced off his thick robes.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "So should we sit here and brood in silence until they let us go, Kerr? I was interested in what Chance had to say."
He let Giuseppina's interjection pass without comment. She was basically right, although he felt he wasn't the one who started any arguments.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"If you want to talk, talk. But don't go pushing blame on people you clearly don't give a damn about."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyebrow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Even when it's their fault? Whether I like them or not doesn't enter the picture. Should I become a cattle rustler's buddy so I can blame them when a cow goes missing?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"Knowing the prince, he's already beating himself up about this. You hardly needed to continue putting him down regardless of if he's around or not. So just piss off."
-
Giuseppina drew in a deep breath and sighed.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"Please don't..."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyebrow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Who said I was talking about Aliberti specifically as the one who let General Oinkand plot a rebellion under his nose? As I recall Rosana apologized for him, for the fact he had no control over who was being investigated as a Kovalian agent and who wasn't."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"You said yourself that you weren't as hard on him as you should have been. And that you felt a little sympathy for him but... All implying that you blame him at least some."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "His only fault in this is falling into their trap exactly as they planned. A regrettable mistake for him yes, but an understandable, even forgivable one. The real fault lies in whoever trusted Oinkand to plan the defense and also the 'assassination' mission he sent Ayzebel and I on. In one strike we were all captured and many of our translocational mages killed. THAT is a problem."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/gFB8Xh3.png)"Whatever. Like I said, piss off."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSmirk.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Fine. Whatever you say."
Feeling comfortable in that he had 'won', Noel leaned against the fence of the shelter with his hood up and his arms crossed. He figured he might as well get some rest while they waited.
-
Ayzebel ignored the squabbling.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Don't forget. As long as I'm alive, I'd have come to rescue you." She frowned. "Still, it's best you have some better method. You had some ability for other magics, didn't you?"
After all, if I'm dead, I want you with me in the afterlife.
-
Few minutes later, Princess Rosana and Princess Aliberti, seated on horses, approached the fenced area along with someone else.
(http://i.imgur.com/gUjCDBT.png) "Hello." Princess Eleonore put her hand on the wooden fence. Some guards tensed and moved closer to the Princess, just in case.
(http://i.imgur.com/gUjCDBT.png) "I heard that, in your group, besides Chance, there's also Maribel, who's also a Kovalian?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"You mean combat magic?" Irios frowned. "I did show some proficiancy for Light magic during my evaluation."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Yes, that was it. It's a shame you don't have the build for a blade."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hwUFLUk.png)"Pretty sure you know everything about this group, or at least your spies do. So maybe just cut the posturing and get to the point?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/gUjCDBT.png) "I do. But I would rather have a pleasant talk with Miss Maribel than toss demands and threats at her. After all, that is more of a Miccahian tactic, considering how well you keep foreign people from spilling your secrets." Hearing the snarks escalating, Princess Rosana coughed VERY DAMN LOUD to distract the two.
Seems to have helped, at least at one side.
(http://i.imgur.com/gUjCDBT.png) "To the point. Miss Maribel, Sir Chance, the relationship between Kovalia and Zorestria will be... sour, for a possibly long while. If you are worried about your wellbeing, I will gladly find you a place at my court. You can stay as long as you want."
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "I can assure you that both Maribel and Chance will be well treated at the Palace... but I do have to admit I can't say the same about capital's streets and alleys."
-
Kerr had opened his mouth to respond when Princess Rosana clearly indicated he should shut up. Growling under his breath, he muttered,
(http://i.imgur.com/gFB8Xh3.png)"Just because we can keep a secret doesn't mean we threaten people. And we can protect our friends just fine..."
-
Chance stood at attention once more.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Princess Eleonore." The mage did the best he could to bow. He took a few moments, clearly in strained thought.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "I understand the risks. However, I have seen with my own senses the various means Zorostrian has employed in their plan to stop the Crimson Moon. I believe it would be well worth the effort that I remain tied to this assignment as a neutral party, until it's completion of course. If that would be acceptable?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/gUjCDBT.png) "If that is your wish. How about you, Miss Maribel?"
-
Irios dropped his voice to a whisper when Eleonore arrived.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"Yes, well, I managed to make do with knives before..." he held up his heal staff, "well, you know."
-
Maribel had only woken up somewhat later, on the tail-end of Party drama. Groaning, she sat up, she sat though the conversation until the Princess arrived, getting up and bowing to her. When the princess addressed her, she gave another bow, pausing in thought for a couple of moments before responding.
"Princess Eleonore. I think it may be best to join your court, I somewhat doubt that I'll be that popular, or tolerated.. However, I feel that I should stick with Aliberti and the others, to lend my support with stopping the Crimson moon, at least until it has been stopped. Would that be acceptable, to join your court after this doomsday is averted?" She said, slightly looking away from Princess Rosana and the rest.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/gUjCDBT.png) "But of course." The Kovalian princess turned to Rosana.
(http://i.imgur.com/gUjCDBT.png) "That would be all. I will let you go back to Zorestria now." Then she remembered something and stepped up to Rosana, going on her toes to whisper something to her.
(http://i.imgur.com/iD8N5UB.png) "Of course. I will do my best, rest assured, Princess."
(http://i.imgur.com/gUjCDBT.png) "Thank you." She nodded at the guards, who quickly opened the fenced area. Some others brought horses. Two guards brought weapons wrapped in white cloth.
(http://i.imgur.com/gUjCDBT.png) "I'm also returning Aliberti's sword, and this strange axe. We never saw such a thing, so I must assume it's some family's heirloom."
Giuseppina regains Fire Axe.
---
Two days later, back at the Zorestrian Palace...
"You heard about the riots at the trade districts?"
"Yeah. Five hundred dead! Terrible stuff. Good thing we're staying at the Palace." Two of translocation mages, (the same who chatted about a horsemeat stew few days before) walked down the corridor toward the Hall of Pillars.
"Any news about Prince Aliberti?"
"Yes, I heard that his father, our King, wanted him executed, but Princess Rosana and few other of the royal siblings talked him out of it. Still, I believe he is being held in his quarters for Angels know how long. Might be till his coronation."
"Let's hope this won't get any uglier in the coming days..."
They pushed on the large door and stepped inside the hall, immediately taking their place at the side of High Priest Mullah, who, along a scarce few others, were preparing runes and items to help their magical ritual succeed.
(http://i.imgur.com/NGYLzZG.png) "...I see. Well, like I said, I'm not sure on the roster, I was asked to join this group just this morning, but Rosana will probably know if you are to come with us or not. Please wait a moment, Sir Hildebrand, I'm sure Rosana is about to be here."
//Hildebrand of Ormia is active!
It was few seconds after that the door opened and... Princess Rosana wasn't there. It was Kerr, Aurelian and everyone else, entering the Hall of Pillars.
//Everyone else is active again as well!
(http://i.imgur.com/NGYLzZG.png) "Hello, everyone. Is my sister Rosana not with you?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "She's not. I imagine she's checking on Prince Aliberti."
Noel looked over the older man in heavy armor.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I don't believe we've met. Noel Schoech, of Miccah. Historian, scholar, and dark mage."
He gave a respectful nod; the man's armor suggested some sort of nobility, which put the two of them on equal social standing. Or it would, if Noel wasn't - at a guess - twenty years younger.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/NGYLzZG.png) "Oh, you're that one who brings reports on other world's fauna and flora, am I right? I've read one, it's so nicely detailed. You really have the skill... Oh, here she is."
Princess Rosana hastily entered the room and then brushed her dress.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Hello everyone... oh dear, you weren't issued weapons yet? I thought they clerks would be done with it by now! Gah, this whole scandal is messing everything up..." The elderly High Priest then moved closer.
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "Apologies, Princess. But I have to report that we're not yet ready... we will need another hour or so."
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) Oh that's good. I mean, terrible, but on other hand, very convenient. We will deal with the equipment woes now - come with me, everyone!" She then took the whole group outside and then through several corridors and a set of stairs leading to the ground level, and then to the royal armory. Here, she had a brief talk with the quartermaster.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Right, whoever does not have weapons can take up to two from here. Sir Hildebrand has his own, as I see. Please don't clear out everything, the palace guards need equipment too." The Princess herself took a sharp blade.
(http://i.imgur.com/NGYLzZG.png) "I have my staves on me, so I don't need anything else."

(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Oh, and if High Priest needs more time, then he will have it. You can go have a meal or a nap, but please be at the Hall of Pillars once again in an hour, alright?" With that, Princess Rosana, as fast as she came, was gone again.
//You have RP time till Tuesday morning (hatkat/european time). Work those supports!
-
(http://i.imgur.com/LZNkKUw.png)"If nobody objects, I'll be taking these." Ivory says, picking up a Steel Lance and an Iron Pilum.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I will take another Short Bow."
She picked up the bow, before turning to the blades. She looked through them, experimentally hefting the armour killer, before shaking her head and picking up the scimitar.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "No, something like this is better."
Shortbow and scimitar.
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Wait but I have my strange axe, so I can't get weapons, right?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/NGYLzZG.png) "Take them. I'm sure the quartermaster won't object." She gave the man a glance, and he didn't protest.
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png):""Oh! Alright then."
Giuseppina selects the Hand Axe and the Francisca.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/NGYLzZG.png) "Oh, you're that one who brings reports on other world's fauna and flora, am I right? I've read one, it's so nicely detailed. You really have the skill... Oh, here she is."

Before the conversation could continue, they were hustled off, so Noel gave her a respectful nod and followed Rosana.

Kerr had been keeping silent, but when they arrived at the armory, he grinned slightly. He immediately grabbed a plain lance, but the second one he took a bit more time on, testing some of the throwing lances before spotting, back in the corner, a lone lance that caught his eye. Picking it up, he grinned even more. The tip was serrated and it had two hooks at the end of the blade that would make it extra deadly if he was lucky.

Chance seemed to gaze off into the distance. The past couple days of tiptoeing around the entire scandal and his returning to Zorostrian whittled away at his energy. Only a couple more moments passed before he caught up.
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "Ah! Of course."
The mage brushed a couple of the tomes before settling on the Fire and Blaze.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "I believe these will suffice."
-
As, the only staff wielder, aside from the new princess that'd be joining them, Irios basically had the staff section all to himself. Thankful that his heal staves hadn't been confiscated, he took his time picking out his two new staves. Eventually, he settled on the Barrier and Rescue staves.
(http://i.imgur.com/eZa3Vsc.gif)"These should prove useful."
After picking out his staves he moved over to Ayzebel.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"I know it's been while, but what was it you wanted to talk about when we got back?"
-
Kerr hesitated, and then walked over to the princess.
(http://i.imgur.com/CY8Mb3l.png)"How... Is Ali doing alright?"
-
Ayzebel glanced at Noel and hesitated.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Perhaps something best to talk about when we're alone." More quietly, she spoke. "I'm concerned about Noel, and his trustworthiness."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/NGYLzZG.png) "No, he isn't really... He was in shock the first day. Some sleep helped but he still blames himself hard on this."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/CY8Mb3l.png)"I was worried that might be... Look, I know he's supposed to be locked up and everything but is there... is there any chance that I might be allowed to see him? Just to talk to him for a little before we leave?"
-
Irios wondered just what Noel had tried during his mission with Ayzebel.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"Well we've got an hour to do whatever want, right?" He repressed a sigh as he shifted the topic. "We should probably check in with the Sect too, since we were specifically assigned to Prince Aliberti."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/NGYLzZG.png) "I'm not sure it could be arranged on such a short notice..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/CY8Mb3l.png)"Ah. I understand. Thank you anyways."
He turned away and started to walk towards the exit when he stopped and came back.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Please just... I know it wouldn't be easy, but if you could just try, I would owe you. Please."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/NGYLzZG.png) "...alright. We will try. Come with me." And Princess Saria took Kerr all the way upstairs to the chambers of the royal family, and specifically, of course, to those owned by Aliberti. The entrance to the corridor which hosted Ali's rooms was guarded by two men with halberds. Without even a question they crossed their halberds in front of the door.
"No passage, Princess Saria." The Princess thought for a moment.
(http://i.imgur.com/NGYLzZG.png) "This young man is here to interrogate Prince Aliberti on few things. It's, um, related to the military defeat over Kovalians." The guards, after a short while, raised their halberds. Princess knocked on the door, but as there was no response, she pushed it open and moved inside with Kerr in tow, closing the door right away.
The main chamber was empty.
(http://i.imgur.com/olAua7G.png) "He is probably in his bedroom. If you need a private talk then I will wait here, but please don't take too long."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "I suppose we should, yes. I can't imagine they'll have been pleased with the rebellion and this turn of events. We can talk about Noel in private, then."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Thank you princess. I will remember this."
He slowly walked over to Ali's bedroom before letting himself in. No sense in knocking and just having the prince refuse to let him in.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Ali, I... I was hoping that we could talk for a few minutes."
-
Aliberti was laying on his bed, in his usual attire. He sat up seeing his friend.
(http://i.imgur.com/WaufLmX.png) "Kerr. You... shouldn't really be here."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Yeah, well, your sister did me a favor."
He hesitated and then went and sat down on the bed near Ali.
(http://i.imgur.com/CY8Mb3l.png)"Look I... The way I acted before... when things were happening with Chance and Maribel... I was out of line. So I'm sorry. And please. Don't blame yourself for all of this. No one saw this. You were just following orders like the rest of us."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"Well, let's get going then; wouldn't want to keep them waiting," Irios said with a forced confidence as he began heading towards the designated meeting place.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Then let us go."
-----
After the meeting with the Sect of Glass, Ayzebel led Irios to the tiny room she had as quarters in the castle.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "So, the issue. Noel." She sat down on the bed, and glanced at Irios. "What are your thoughts on him?"
-
Maribel hmm'd overlooking the armoury, occasionally glancing back at the slim swords, before shaking her head. It was only when she wandered to an apparently less used part that she saw some books, unlike normal spelltomes. Leaving though them, she gasped. "Oh! These are performance manuals... Hm... Oh.. Ah." It wasnt long before she stowed them into her clothing, after making sure that the quartermaster knew.
Claim Enamouring Step & Enchanting Tango.
-
Another meeting, another moment in his life where Irios was glad Ayzebel was so attached to him. Sometimes it made him feel like he was using her like the Sect was.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"You mean other than he fact he's brash, arrogant, and a pain to deal with in general? I think he's got some hidden motive, or at least he thinks he knows something special."
-
Noel had noticed Irios and Ayzebel leaving together.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) Your turn, then. Here's hoping it went better than mine.
Kerr had left too, to see Aliberti. And then it hit him.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSFacepalm.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) ...That was foolish of me. They're clearly friends. Perhaps I should apologize to Kerr.
Other than his father - which didn't count, as he was merely grooming Noel to take his place as the head of the Schoech family - he had never really had any friends, let alone anyone he could trust. His brothers got what they had deserved in the end - even though that meant his parents and sister had been killed, too - and the servants were... servants. His relationship with his mother had been alright, if strained by hiding the shared secret with his father about the man's worship of Xatar. As for his sister, she was often at the local academy so he rarely saw her, but he hadn't disliked her.
He wondered what it was like to have a friend. Would Irios count? No, probably not. Irios was just using him to get Ayzebel out of the sect, and Noel had agreed to it; it was merely a social contract for mutual benefit. Nothing deeper to it. If he'd any chance of being friends with Rosana, Kerr, or Aliberti he had blown it by now. Ayzebel was completely out of the question. And he didn't really know his other companions too well.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSMellow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) ...It's fine, I suppose. I don't need anyone. I've always been alone. And I always will be. I have truth and knowledge and that's all I'll ever need.
But still... he wondered what it would be like to have someone who was happy he was around, that he existed.
-
Hildebrand, still weary from riding a long way and mentally flagellating himself, attempted to brush past the green-haired young man in a robe - probably a clerk or something relatively unimportant, he'd tuned out after "historian".
(http://s19.postimage.org/mrjf92ef3/hildebrand_yell.png): "I am Hildebrand of Ormia! Tell me, where is the Prince? Does he yet live?!"
-
(I'm assuming this is a timewarp post and not a present post, otherwise he'd have heard Kerr and Saria talk about Aliberti. :P)

Noel had stood aside slightly to let the larger man through.

The knight stopped...then turned back to Noel.
(http://s19.postimage.org/mrjf92ef3/hildebrand_yell.png): "He's being WHAT? For doing WHAT?! Gods above and below, what the hell happened? The rebellion only got started - what, a month ago? My men and I rode for two weeks straight getting here!"
-
Ayzebel nodded, secretly pleased.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "When we were sent on our mission, Noel tried to drive a wedge between us. He tried to claim you hated the Sect of Glass, and wanted to leave it. Leave me." Her hand gripped the hilt of her scimitar unconciously, tightening as she spoke. "I told him that was stupid, of course, as I know you'd never leave me like that. But that makes me wonder what you did talk about."
-

Miranda had been keeping quiet for a while since the situation seemed over her head. The tribes tended to keep to themselves unless called upon, so matters like this didn't get discussed much back home.
Her eyes grew wide at seeing the sheer variety of tomes that had been brought out. Many of them she had never seen before. Making her war over she eventually picked out a pair that seemed similar to what she was familiar with.

(http://s19.postimage.org/mrjf92ef3/hildebrand_yell.png): "Oinkand? That BASTA--" Hildebrand very nearly exploded before visibly getting a hold of himself.
(http://s19.postimg.org/v2lysf9tr/hildebrand_ce.png): "He'll get his someday. Him and the rest of the traitors."

(http://s19.postimage.org/i4f2e6lbz/hildebrand_default.png): "So! A quest for an artifact that will save the world, eh? Long odds of success, certain doom if we fail? Where do I sign up, lad?"

(http://s19.postimage.org/mrjf92ef3/hildebrand_yell.png): "I'm standing here, boy, because I heard that my liege was facing a rebellion, and because unlike a certain treacherous whoreson bastard I take my oaths of fealty seriously."
(http://s19.postimage.org/i4f2e6lbz/hildebrand_default.png): "I might have been too late for that, but this other nonsense you mentioned...why, it sounds like just the thing to do in order to account for my failure. Besides which, my men are exhausted and most of them are wounded from rebel ambushes. No sense in packing them up and just riding home."
-
Noel glared up at Hildebrand, not intimidated by the man's tendency to boom or the rather large physical advantage he had over him.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "My name is Noel, heir of the noble Schoech family of Miccah, not 'boy'."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyesClosed.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "...Regardless, if you haven't already been recruited, talk to Princess Saria or Princess Rosana about it."
-
Well shit. He didn't think Noel would jump straight to that and because of that he'd walked himself right into a minefield. Granted it was an unavoidable minefield, but that was beside the point.
(http://i.imgur.com/TtTsQnd.gif)"What!?" Just what did you say to her, Noel!? He hesitated for a second, knowing full well he could get stabbed, before pulling her into a hug.
(http://i.imgur.com/k7qS0em.gif)"You're all I have," he said after a few seconds, his tone soft. "I wouldn't leave you for anything. That will never change." It relieved him to say that to her, made him feel better about the situation as a whole.
He broke the hug and took a few steps back to address the minefield in the room.
(http://i.imgur.com/aWLJ1zI.gif)"We talked about the Sect. Or rather, I tried to find out what he knew about it since he had such strong opinions about it. I might have mentioned they probably don't like that I swore off killing, but I don't know where he got everything else."
-
(http://s19.postimage.org/i4f2e6lbz/hildebrand_default.png): "Miccah, Miccah...ah yes, the home of the wyverns. Never heard of the Schoech family though...something tells me you aren't a frequent participant in the tournaments."
-
Noel's hackles seemed to be down again. He rolled up his sleeve slightly to show Hildebrand a forearm that was almost entirely skin and bone, with a small amount of muscle visible when he moved it, as if to show why he wasn't in any tournaments.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Not this generation, no. My father was a scholar and I take after him. I believe the last... well, I'm not sure whether to say knight or warrior... regardless the last one would likely have been my grandfather's grandfather, Alfred Schoech."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/2vnVwqc.png) "!"
Caught off guard by the hug, she stiffened in surprise before relaxing in to it.
(http://i.imgur.com/XH9b1xO.png) "I knew it. You're mine, and I'm yours. Forever."
(http://i.imgur.com/eAlSzkS.png) "We'll have to deal with him, sooner or later. But for the time being, while we have time and we're here, safe..."
She blushed slightly and unclasped her cloak, letting it drop to the floor.
(http://i.imgur.com/rArwFJa.png) "There was something else I was hoping to do with you..."
-
(http://s19.postimage.org/i4f2e6lbz/hildebrand_default.png): "Can't say I've heard of him either, though I'm sure an ancestor of mine faced him across the field at one point or another. But I digress. Where can I find either of the Princesses? If the Prince is confined to quarters, I suppose I'll have to officially pledge my services to someone else."
-
In the past, which is when this Noel/Hildebrand conversation was taking place, Rosana happened to enter at that point to pull everyone to the armory.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Rosana just walked in, and that's Saria over there."
And now the flow of time had caught back up to a brooding Noel, standing against a clear wall of the armory with his arms crossed in front of his chest, his legs crossed at the ankle, watching the others pick out their weapons.
-
Chance, after giving a few test strikes to the tomes he recently picked out, turned to the shaman.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Sir Noel. While there is a break, do you have a moment?"
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Hmm? Yes, I do. What do you need, Chance?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Merely speculating on the current situation, I suspect if these expeditions are to continue the margin of tolerance for failure is going to be felt much more strongly. I think it would be in our best interests if our skillsets could be diversified to serve the mission better."
Chance's mouth slanted, he lifted his arm to scratch his head.
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "Erm. Put more succinctly, I think there are a couple things that could be learned from each other's casting styles to improve."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Hm, I see. To be honest I have no intention of branching out from dark magic; my interest lies in different applications of the translocational subset of dark magic that we're perfecting here. But I would be quite happy to teach you what I know, if you wish to learn, and even if I have no plans to use the anima school having your insights on it would be interesting. So I accept."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Understood, I would certainly appreciate your input. Dark magic has proven to be somewhat of a barrier in my case, as it requires a bit more of an intellectual bent to pierce compared to the intuitive natural law Anima follows. But I do believe there are some applications I know of that can be of use."
Chance lowered his hand from scratching his head to briefly tapping the metal chunks acting as his eyes.
(http://i.imgur.com/OJnNmO4.gif): "For instance, thanks to these replacements here, I have observed a fair number of casters who exert too much magical force in forming and directing their attacks. With a couple years' practice, I have managed to achieve a process to convert the 'waste', as it were, into healing residue directed at the source caster."
-
A blush crept its way onto Irios' face.
(http://i.imgur.com/kKAAaK7.gif)"Here?" He looked around the room. "Now?" He absent-mindedly pulled on his cloak until he finally up and took it off.
(http://i.imgur.com/Yas6oNn.gif)"We... won't have a lot of time, you know."
-
Noel got out his journal and turned to a blank page.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSurprise.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Oh, really? While I am sorry about your eyes, I would like to hear more about these replacements and this process you mentioned. Developing such a method on your own is thoroughly impressive."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "The replacements are merely shaped steel, however internally they possess a number of conical structures with inlaid etchings made with magic implements- similar to those found in most tomes. The resulting feedback is fed into the same inputs my eyes did. The sense is unique, certainly, but not particularly powerful. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they also had particularly suboptimal eyesight to begin with."
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "Though, that uniqueness does lend itself well to discerning magical flow. It takes plenty of practice, but if you are able to cast at a certain frequency, any sort of excess magic will linger in the air for a couple moments, normally indiscernible to the naked eye. The loose energies can be re-purposed from there, which with some inspiration from one of our comrades, I found can be reshaped to knit flesh. Admittedly, it was only in our last excursion that I managed to re-purpose it to practical effect, sealing a couple scratches. But I know it can go further, hence why I am looking to branch out and see if any other schools can lend insight."
Chance's face flexed, making a realization.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Incidentally, you are... acting as a librarian for the Zorostrian royalty, correct?"
-
Noel's quill flew across the page, first a sketch of Chance's face with detailed notes on his eye implants, then transcribing word for word his explanation on harnessing excess magic.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Hmm. I imagine the time the magic lingers is less than you say, or surely such a method would have been discovered by now. Perhaps with further tweaking one could apply this to magic other than anima, which as you noted is more intuitive than intellectual. No disrespect intended; I merely meant dark requires further study to be effective. It seems to me that following anima's instinctive nature, learning how to do this is something you 'felt' how to do, and if I were to replicate it I would need to create a similar formula and tweak it for individual spells... and even then it might not be as powerful as your ability simply because I would be trying to apply a general equation to different formula..."
Chance had asked a question, and Noel answered while writing down his own thoughts and notes about possible applications in the margins.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Yes, I am. I'm not the head librarian of course, as that is a purely Zorostrian position and so I don't have access to certain 'forbidden' materials, but I have done some work on our theories of translocational magic among other duties such as being a scribe for important royal functions. The other scholars worked out how to teleport people across the dimensions, while my work was an offshoot on how to bring something back from other dimensions. It's an unfinished theory as the only practical use so far has been to apply it to the previously mentioned spell and allow it to bring this party back to our home, but I'm still plugging away at it."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "I see. It is a fleeting concern but, I was hoping that none of these theories would be committed to tome until I could truly develop them. I would hardly want to be remembered as a charlatan."
Chance lifted the Fire tome from his belt and, after opening to the first page, struck the paper, generating a small shower of sparks. After the cinders dissipated into the air, the mage sighed.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Not that time, I suppose... It is possible that my thoughts on extending magic permanence is just conjecture, but I have noticed a greater output under certain conditions. Though, trying to commit every pattern of every casting to memory is difficult in field work. Somehow I doubt the rigors of this mission are lending much to your efforts in researching translocation either."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Oh, is that your concern? No need to worry, then. This is my personal journal; it's for my use only, and anything official I need to transcribe I do so on royal scrolls for future reference. I can keep this to myself until you want me to publish it."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Getting back to this ability, might it be driven by necessity? That is to say, you're not under any direct threat right now, unlike during combat. Your subconscious mind doesn't siphon off the energy, because it doesn't need to; you are healthy and in no danger."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSigh.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "As for my own work... yes, it is difficult. Being the subject of repeated trandimensional crossings has helped me understand it some, but I haven't really had the time to sit and work on my formulae."
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSSmirk.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I'd be more disappointed if we didn't have so much to see and learn from each world we cross, though. Sometimes I wonder if this is what ancient explorers felt like when they crested a great mountain and saw new lands to conquer."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "You may be on to something, regarding the ability being reactionary to threat. The effect I am specifically mimicking is based off of an inherent ability our squadron's knight appears to have, one that specifically manifests in reaction to injury. I do not know how he is unconsciously pulling magic from his internal reservoir, but the pattern that is used to heal him is definitely replicable. Perhaps that pattern explicitly relies on existing injury."
Chance paused.
(http://i.imgur.com/OJnNmO4.gif): "On the worlds we visit, though, I can agree. The worlds visited thus far have proven interesting, to say the least. To have such vast effects on magic potency on such a scale proves an innervating example to consider when thinking of what possibilities remain to be found. With that in mind, I think I can safely say I would prefer remaining assigned to this mission over returning to Kovalia in such a turbulent time."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSLOL.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I can agree there! Better to go about our more important business and let the politics sort themselves out; it's all irrelevant if we fail anyway, so no need to worry about it."

I don't believe he's the first with such an ability, but even if he isn't those people are so few and far between. Perhaps I should interview him as well, when I have the opportunity... but his brother is rather protective of him, and I've given him cause to dislike me, so I'm not sure how much progress I could make."
Chance mentioned magical potency, and Noel nodded.

(http://i.imgur.com/WaufLmX.png) "I am not exactly blameless... I always wanted... liked to prove how strong I am, and I didn't even check on anything that General said, and... eh. You saw how it went. Still." Aliberti lifted his hand and then almost went to squeeze that of Kerr's, but hesitated, and then reached for the head, before swiftly settling on giving his friend a reassuring hug-pat on the shoulders. It was somewhat awkward manouever.
(http://i.imgur.com/WaufLmX.png) "Thanks for dropping by. I did hear that you guys are to continue the search without me?"

Kerr frowned at Ali's response but sighed and just shook his head. He did chuckle slightly at the prince's awkwardness and slipped his arm around the prince, pulling him into a side hug. It was safe here, right? No one around to spread rumors.
"Yeah, now I've got to put up with two of your sisters instead of just one. Still, could be worse I suppose. I could have to deal with all of them at once."
He gave a fake shudder.
-
For the first time in a long while, Aliberti blushed at anything, and that anything was the hug. Mayhaps his defeat cracked up his confident, manly wall of stoicism. He was back to normal after the comment though.
(http://i.imgur.com/WaufLmX.png) "Pretty sure you could get Irmina to join you if you just asked... and Zalah seemed a little bored lately so I guess she could like a trip to another world. As long as you could avoid her constant wooing. Should I ask Saria to speak with the King about that?" He flashed a small grin.
-
"Oh gods, not that again. I've been avoiding her. Surely even you couldn't be so cruel. Two is more than enough. I mean, maybe if you were along to distract me but...
He cut himself off, turning slightly red himself.
"Err, anyways, we probably shouldn't be risking all of your sisters anyways. Not that we'll let then be at risk I just... You know what I mean."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/WaufLmX.png) "Yeah, yeah..." Ali himself wrapped an arm around Kerr's waist.
(http://i.imgur.com/WaufLmX.png) "...been a while since we were that close. Wrestling matches excluded of course- wait, we haven't had those in months, right? ...am I not giving you enough attention, Kerr?"
-
Kerr turned bright red as the prince wrapped his arm around his waist and only got more red as Ali talked.
"Well, uhm, you've been busy. And I was busy getting my brother comfortable with the court and... and people are talking about us."
He winced, having let that last bit slip out without thinking. He hadn't meant to add more to the prince's worries and this was a dangerous area anyways.
"I... I mean... Noel said that... uhm."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/WaufLmX.png) "He did?" Aliberti's cuddly self was replaced by the worrying one.
(http://i.imgur.com/WaufLmX.png) "I mean, he sticks his nose everywhere per his duties, but really... hm. Keep an eye on him. And on my sisters too, but for other reason; make sure nothing happens to them." Aliberti's hand gave Kerr's side a soft rub, before a slight tap on the door made the Prince lie back down on the bed with an almost cartoonish speed.
-
"I will, don't worry, and look, I know that all of this with your marriage and everything is...
And then a knock. He sighed. He reached out and gently ruffled the prince's hair before getting up.
"That's my signal to go I think. I... I'll do my best to come see you again when we get back. Stay safe over here, ok?"
He went over and opened the door.
-
Hildebrand went on the prowl for princesses. Which one would he find first?
-
@Kerr:
It was of course Princess Saria.
(http://i.imgur.com/olAua7G.png) "Um, the guards are getting a bit impatient... Hello Aliberti."
(http://i.imgur.com/WaufLmX.png) "Hello Saria."
(http://i.imgur.com/olAua7G.png) "We should be going." She turned to Kerr.
@Hildebrand:
It was of course Princess Rosana.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Um, how can I help you?"
-
Hildebrand went to one knee in front of Rosana, bowing.
(http://s19.postimage.org/v2lysf9tr/hildebrand_ce.png): "Princess Rosana, it's been a long time. I am Hildebrand of Ormia, and I have come to pledge my service towards stopping the Crimson Moon."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Oh, welcome, then, and your services will be very much appreciated. Please be in the Hall of Pillars in less than an hour, we will be departing to the new world about that time."
-
(http://s19.postimage.org/i4f2e6lbz/hildebrand_default.png): "As you wish, my lady. Will Prince Aliberti be accompanying us?"
'New world'? What the devil does she mean by that?
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "No. He is currently staying in his quarters for... unknown period of time. Have you been not told about the rebellion? The Kovalians lured him and trapped him and forced a treaty on us in the result."
-
(http://s19.postimage.org/i4f2e6lbz/hildebrand_default.png): "I did hear about the rebellion, my lady, and I deeply regret not arriving sooner. Your historian had told me about the peace treaty and of the Prince's confinement, but I had hoped that he would be released to continue the quest. Shall I take it that you will be accompanying us instead?"
-
"Of course."
He smiled at Ali before following the princess away from the room. Once they were out of earshot of the guards, he smiled at her.
"Thank you again. I hope that I was able to help him some."
-
@Hildy:
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Yes, and Saria as well. Double the honor, one could say."
@Kerr:
(http://i.imgur.com/NGYLzZG.png) "He did seem to look slightly better than in the morning. I guess he really likes your companionship."
-
"Well we've been close for as long as I can remember really. And good, I'm glad you think I was able to help some. I care for him and I know this is killing him."
-
Two royal family members on the same mission? Clearly this was just as important a quest as Noel had implied.
(http://s19.postimage.org/cl68cc4n3/hildebrand_heh.png): "Very well then! I shall gather my horse and equipment and ready myself in the Hall of Pillars. If you'll excuse me..." Hildebrand rose, bowed once more, then went back outside to get his things. He passed people along the way but did not know if any of them were going to be on the mission as well.

[Weapon Selection: Glaive, Steel Halberd
//If someone has a better idea for a selection feel free to override, but Aur is all about Pole weaponry. It was a tough decision to not go with a pilum though.]
-
Ayzebel found herself blushing, too.
(http://i.imgur.com/iJaUmDB.png) "Then we'll have to make the time we do have count."
And then things happened.
-----
Afterwards, when they headed to meet the others, she couldn't help but steal glances at Irios besides her, and smile a little.
Irios was hers. Always. Forever.
And she'd never allow that to change.
-
The time have passed and both Princesses were in the Hall of Pillars. Rosana counted the others.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Oh, good! All eleven accounted for. Are we ready, High Priest?" The elderly man in charge of the rituals fidgeted in discomfort for a moment.
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "Yes... and no."
(http://i.imgur.com/NGYLzZG.png) "What's that supposed to mean?"
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "Apologies, Princess Rosana, but with the recent loss of my magicians this whole ritual won't be as precise as it was in the recent two times. I'm afraid that you might disappear for a lengthy amount of time despite you visiting the other world for brief few hours."
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Is it going to be two weeks? Aliberti's disappearance caused whole lot of panic back then..."
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "No... but I think you might be gone from here for as much as few days for the few hours you spend elsewhere. Apologies once more, but it's the best we can do at the moment."
(http://i.imgur.com/NGYLzZG.png) "We don't have any other choice..." Rosana propped her hands on her waist.
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "Right! We might be gone for days, so if someone forgot their belongings, now would be a good time to say so!" Her sister Saria let out a snort in a manner not befitting a gentle princess like her.
-
At the mention of dead wizards, Noel sighed quietly to himself and folded his hands behind his back.
-
Ivory quickly checks she has everything she needs, and then nods to indicate that she's ready.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/Zoq4kpY.png) "It looks like we're all ready."
(http://i.imgur.com/giWWL1x.png) "Good luck." The High Priest stepped away and the Princesses, along with their soldiers, moved into the circle of the mages - said circle more of an octagon really - and the chanting began.
Bright yellow-pink-red-blue-white light flooded the eyes of everyone, before dissipating as quickly as it have appeared...
~~Chapter 5: The Watery Mirage~~
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Lackeys of Lady Aquileia! Have at you!!!" The blue-haired man stabbed with his heavy, three-pronged lance at Princess Saria!
Block the strike directed against the Princess!
You have 30 minutes to respond, kekekeke
-
The lance finds itself hitting armor and wyvern as Ivory jumps in the way.
-
Noel was also on point, a dark orb hovering over his left index finger as Ivory blocked the attack.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSCasting.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Back away."
-
*Clink!* The lances met and the prongs glanced at the wyvern's scales. Ivory's a hero!
"Your Highness, wait!" Three bladesmen ran up to the blue-haired man.
(http://i.imgur.com/L3hJ4LW.png) "Ah, miss Ivory! Are you alright?" But both Ivory and her mount were A-OK.
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "What-"
"Your Highness, they do not wear your Aunt's uniforms!" Princess Rosana drew her sword.
(http://i.imgur.com/UiXQwM1.png) "Why did you attack my sister?!"
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "A-Apologies, you appeared out of the thin air, I thought you were some assasins!"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/LZNkKUw.png)"Fine, your highness. I wear armor for a reason, and Onyx is more than tough enough to take a blow. Are you alright?"
-
Ayzebel had arrested her block as Ivory jumped in the way, settling for merely being ready to attack their assailant. At the trident man's claim, the assassin frowned slightly.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "None of us here are assassins. What is the situation here?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/L3hJ4LW.png) "I'm a bit shaken but alive and well, thanks to you. I owe you, miss Ivory."
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Just who are you people??" The three bladesmen moved behind the Prince to overlook a corridor.
(http://i.imgur.com/UiXQwM1.png) "You are the one who made an impromptu greeting gesture, so maybe you should explain yourself first?" The man considered Rosana's words.
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Fine. I am Alonse, Prince of the Kingdom of Baltica. I'm trying to bring justice and depose my vile Aunt, Lady Oikona of Aquiela, who murdered my father and usurped the throne just a week ago, when I was away on a diplomatic mission. These triplets," The trio of swordsmen, indeed identical, saluted with their fists over their hearts, "Are Aman, Beman and Ceman, sons of renowned swordmaster Pyros. We managed to sneak through the waterways, but were expecting Oikona's men to show up any moment, so when you suddenly appeared I... did not want to take chances."
(http://i.imgur.com/L3hJ4LW.png) "I'm Saria, and this is Rosana, and those are our companions, and it might sound a bit crazy but... we're basically travelers from another world. It's a long story, but we use magic to move ourselves near the pieces of an ancient artifact."
(http://i.imgur.com/UiXQwM1.png) "That's right! The artifact in question is a huge crystal orb, so it's small crystal shards we look after. Let me... the mirror! I forgot the mirror!?" Princess Rosana blushed and then turned pale in total embarassement and terror, respectively, but Saria pulled out both the brooch and the mirror from her robes.
(http://i.imgur.com/L3hJ4LW.png) "And to think you were the one who asked if we have everything..."
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "So wait, you just jump around places in search of some tiny crystal fragments? How do you even locate them?" Per demonstration, Princess Saria rubbed the mirror, and the surface shone with bright light, pointing north-westernish direction. Alonse furrowed his brows.
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "That's basically the direction of where the throne room and the royal quarters are."
(http://i.imgur.com/UiXQwM1.png) "Does that mean your Aunt has the piece we look for?"
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "I don't know? She is a powerful magician and a well-known collector of various artifacts, it's possible that she could have such a shard in her collection." The bladesmen moved back.
"Your Highness, footsteps from the west. Unfortunately Lady Aquiela's men must've heard us."
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Look, I have no quarrel with you and I apologize again for my rash assault, but I have to set some things right. We can search for the crystal once I depose Lady Aquiela."
(http://i.imgur.com/UiXQwM1.png) "Wait! Would you... welcome some help? It's not really our matter, this whole usurpation debacle, but you know this place more than anyone of us. My people know their way around fights, so I'm sure we can be useful to you."
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Well... this is a welcome gesture. Deal. If you help us defeat my Aunt, I will hand over the crystal shard, if we ever find it, without hesistation."

11-19
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"So. Prince Alonse was it? Seems like you probably could have thought this whole plan through a little better. I mean, if it was just the four of you, you'd kinda be screwed, you know what I mean?"
-
13,20.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "I have trust in my soldiers. And I believe in my own skills, too. Pardon my earlier staring, I just only now noticed your handsome, if strangely colored, hair, mister."
-
Kerr had started to respond but it quickly dissolved into a few (likely fake) coughs before he shook himself.
(http://i.imgur.com/owy6u6D.png)"Hand... handsome. Err. Yeah, it's magical. Lost a bet. Oh, err, my name is Kerr. Since you haven't gotten most of our names. And I suppose you might be able to do it by yourselves but still. If you're the rightful ruler, it seems like you'd want to make sure that you were doing everything to make sure your people were better off. Still, I suppose our prince would have likely done the same, so."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Do not worry, I follow the Valonian school of thought. Empathy and mercy towards others, compassion for one's slaves and subjects, and so on. Except, of course, traitors." He pointed his trident at the skeletons further on.
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Kerr sounds... strong. A strong name for a strong man, I guess."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/iO2NGSY.png)"Ah, uhm..."
Kerr stared at the ground for a few seconds, getting himself under control before looking back up at the prince. Though he had just met the man, he couldn't deny that he was attractive and the compliments were unexpected. Still... focusing on the battle ahead was more important. For now.
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"Thank you for the compliment, though I'm sure that you are more skilled than I. Though I must say, I can't say I've seen anyone fight with a lance of that type before. Is it a common type of weapon here?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Ah yes. It has a long tradition, from the times when cruder tridents were used by fishermen who swam in the depths of the seas and hunted blackfish, sea drakes and such beasts for meat for their families. They still do that, of course, but the tool itself became a symbol of our nation and weapon of most of the army." The Prince thought for a moment.
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Mayhaps later on I would let you hold it. Or I could ask the smiths to get you one."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"Well if you think I could handle it..."
He trailed off for a few seconds and then continued,
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"I would certainly be interested in gaining a new weapon. Though I might ask for a few pointers on how best to use it, since it does seem to need a slightly different technique than the weapons I'm used to using."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "A strong grip and quick movements are the basics of handling a trident. I'm not sure that in the days that will follow this... uprising... I will have the time to personally teach you, but I would be honored, Kerr."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Hmm, true. And likely our group will need to leave soon after the completion of our task. Still... if we get the chance, it would be interesting to say the least."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "I wouldn't mind having your group as honored guests for some time. I will talk with your Princesses later on, mayhaps something could be arranged."
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "You also have a nice earring, by the way. Not as splendorous as some of jewellery that Companions are allowed to wear, but still a pretty sight..." Prince Alonse glanced at someone with dark robe and green hair who was nearby.
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Hmm. Are you allright, mister...? You seem to be sweating. Are you short on breath?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/sxwVIWb.png)"I would hope that we could perhaps rest a little. Our situation is... tense, but taking a break would be good for us I think. Hmm? Oh, thank you. It was a present from an admirer. I think I broke her heart when i turned her down but... it's a nice earring. Though nowhere near as fancy as yours, which is quiet impressive. Who are the Companions? I wouldn't want to accidentally be mistaken for something I'm not after all."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Oh, you see, those who follow the School of Valonia believe that there's no stronger bond than that between two men. Companion is a male very close to another, and the two share meals, struggles and bed together. While the Man takes a Wife so that she can give him children and watch over his house when he is on a military campaign, the Companion carries his shield and fights alongside him on the field, and of course provides company during rest. But the Man has to give equal love to both his Wife and his Companion, which is tricky and somewhat expensive. The whole affair can become very complex, too; some Companions marry the daughters of their beloved to remain in the family, or inherit their households if the beloved does not have a heir. On other hand, if jealousy or lack of attention enters this relationship, it might end in broken heart, or a divorce, or worse, even murders..." Prince Alonse let out a hum.
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "I assume there's nothing like that in your world, considering your question? The topic is very broad, I've barely covered the basics. I could explain more later on, when we're done here. Or I could just give you illustrated scrolls on the topic for your perusal."
-
Kerr blinked, staring at the prince. He opened his mouth as if to say something and then shut it. He blinked again and then finally was able to say something approaching meaningful words,
(http://i.imgur.com/owy6u6D.png)"Ah. Uhm. No. That is... no. It's not something... Seems like it would be difficult... Hmm. I... yes, hearing more about it would be interesting. Do all men follow this here? Err, of those who follow... Valonia?"
He hoped he was getting that name right, as he was still feeling slightly poleaxed.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "There are... well I know of eight prominent Schools of Thought, and Valonian School is the most influential as it is also the oldest. There is, for example, The Way of Kalos, who preached asceticism and cultivation of family values. Or the School of Arco, a splinter philosophy of Kalos, with greater emphasis on morality of oneself..." The Prince let out a chuckle.
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "I'm surprised, though. Not only you're handsome, and are a skilled warrior, but it seems you enjoy scholarly debacles as well? Or is it just curiosity?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/owy6u6D.png)"I mean... I'm not uninterested in scholarly things but it's... it's mostly curiosity. That is... Well, back in our country... most men would never even consider an arrangement like that. Especially if they were highly ranked. It's viewed as wrong and while people can get away with it, it's simply not talked about openly. So to hear all of this..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Oh. It's culture differences, then. And I'm not shocked to hear that, though; after all, Tahuran Republic just over the border to the east is similarily strict about relationships. On other hand, they practice polygamy..."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/owy6u6D.png)"Yeah... It must be nice here. Not having to hide that sort of thing..."
-
Noel, of course, was shadowing the pair and writing down everything. It was certainly of some interest to him, anyway. He wasn't about to draw undue attention to himself, however; it seemed given time Kerr would eventually ask everything he was also curious about. However, the prince had asked him a question, so he answered.
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSEyebrow.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "I'm fine, thank you. Please, continue your conversation with Kerr; I don't want to interrupt."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "I think details can wait. We spoke for quite some time and we're in middle of combat. Onwards!"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Indeed. We've managed to take out quite a few of these enemies, but many more stand between us and our goals. Lets not waver now."
-
Aur moved forward to [10,19] and held the halberd out defensively towards the enemies. The knight eyed the skeletal axeman from behind his helmet, considering it the larger threat.
-
Ride to (10,20) and equip the Slim Sword.
(http://s19.postimage.org/i4f2e6lbz/hildebrand_default.png): "What is your name, sir knight?"
-
12,20
-
Aur looked to the side at the question, flinched, then up to meet the eyes (presumably, Aur's were hidden under his helmet) of the horseman.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Aurelian Wolfgar, member of Prince Aliberti Yosif Zorostrian's personal guard." It was an automated response, which he adjusted moments later to be more personable.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "I prefer Aur, however. Things happened a bit fast so we never got introduced before we left. This is certainly amazing, isn't it?" He looks back to the front, the enemies look about to move forward soon.
-
(http://s19.postimage.org/i4f2e6lbz/hildebrand_default.png): "Aur it is, then. I am Hildebrand from Ormia, and it is an honor to make your acquaintance."
(http://s19.postimage.org/cl68cc4n3/hildebrand_heh.png): "I believe I would have to question the sanity of someone who didn't find using magic to travel between worlds "amazing"! Certainly it wasn't anything I expected to encounter in this life."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) Aur gave a short laugh. "Nor I! I wanted to travel and see the world, but I never figured that world would be plural. See new sights, meet new people, fight strange enemies, save our world. What more could a soldier want? We'll have to catch you up, Noel should be helpful there. He should have notes of all our previous adventures." Changing topic for the moment, Aur asked the mounted knight a question.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Ormia? That's a fair bit away. Haven't seen you at the castle, you a new arrival?"
-
(http://s19.postimage.org/i4f2e6lbz/hildebrand_default.png): "I'll be sure to ask Noel about it all later, once the battle is over. But to answer your question, yes I had arrived just before we left our world behind. When word of the rebellion reached Ormia, I gathered my men-at-arms and we rode for the capitol as quickly as we could. Obviously we arrived too late to do any good." The mounted knight paused, before asking (rather delicately), "I must know; you did fight the rebels, yes?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Yes, for a short time. They... There was a lot going on that admittedly went over my head--I'm not much one for politics--so I admit I'm probably not the best one to ask. For what I understood: we were sent into a trap by a turncoat, captured, and Prince Aliberti was forced to sign a peace charter between the nations." Aur tried to explain it as best he could, face hidden behind his helmet.
(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) "Things... Sort of went from there. Nobody was particularly happy. Most of us wanted to resume the hunt for shards, since if we fail that the rebellion wouldn't frankly matter much. You'd think others would be more supportive trying to save everyone."

(http://i.imgur.com/ytKOOcg.png) Aurelian nodded at Irios in thanks and grunted. "Don't know what magic that was. Whatever it is, its burning me as fast as I can heal it myself."
With a bit of fiddling from his gauntlets, his helmet came off and he took in a couple deep breaths of air. He wiped some sweat away with a cloth from his belt and continued to take a breather now that he has a moment. He looked at his helmet with a frown. First the strange orange mist and then whatever that was just moments ago.
(http://i.imgur.com/3zLpA1M.png) "I should be good now, my healing should arrest it until it passes. I don't think I've seen magic like this back home. Have you?" The knight asked his brother.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"No, it's all new to me. They have some strange weapons as well. The prince said he might be able to get me one of the lances that he uses. They seem fairly effective, which could be useful in our trips."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "Really? Are you talking about that strange three-pronged... Lance?" The knight almost called it a pitchfork, but thought better than to possibly insult the weapon by accident.
(http://i.imgur.com/f5OCIB7.png) "That's awesome! Its more effective than I thought it would be at first, honestly, seeing him fight. If you get one, you have to spar me with it." It wasn't so much a request as a declaration, Aur leaning his halberd against his shoulder with the butt of the weapon on the ground.
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Using it must be tricky though. Have to adapt for the larger head and prongs, to avoid being blocked easily. Bet a skilled user of it would be tricky to brush aside effectively, you'd have to adjust the angle more to avoid it..." The knight contemplated the weapon in question, looking at his own halberd to compare.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/fsccda4.png)"Yeah, I was hoping he could maybe show me how to use it. I think he called it a trident? I agree though, it didn't seem useful at first but he wields it effectively."
He chuckled.
(http://i.imgur.com/lzfpry6.png)"You know I'm always up for kicking your butt little bro."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/hsVdY42.png) "Hey, I've been getting better!" Aur said defensively.
(http://i.imgur.com/aVCvP8g.png) "Bet you three coins I'll win the first round against the trident." He confidently thrust out a gauntlet to shake on the bet with Kerr.
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "I know better than to bet on the matches after though. If he does show you how to use it, you'll have to give me a few pointers after though." He laughed.
-
Kerr chuckled and took the outstretched hand.
(http://i.imgur.com/lzfpry6.png)"Done and done. Hopefully he'll have time... If we end up just leaving right after we get the shard, that wouldn't be a possibility. He said he planned on inviting us to stay a while. I hope the princesses see the sense in staying at least a night. It can't hurt and I know we'll want the rest. Last time... well, we waited too long to have a chance to breathe. I know the world is in danger, but we do no one any good if we die because we're exhausted and make a mistake."
Plus it would be nice to get to know the prince a bit better... Even if I'll never see him again.
-
Aur grinned as they shook on it.
(http://i.imgur.com/xG4FyWm.png) "Honestly, this place is pretty interesting compared to the other places. Its similar but different. Somehow, that makes it almost stranger than the places that were just... Really different." The knight tried to put logically. "I wouldn't mind learning more about this place either, but I worry about that time... Thing. And our prince." Aur was silent for a moment.
(http://i.imgur.com/U6afn4W.png) "Its a topic to bring up to the group though. I'm sure Noel would probably be happy to learn about the different magics and weapons here. I wouldn't mind seeing what I can see either."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"No, I agree... It's hard. No matter what we do, it seems like there isn't a right choice. Do we push ourselves to our limits in an attempt to fix this? Or do we take a slower pace, learn what we can about other worlds in our time in them in the hopes that something there might help us in the future? Still. We'll keep pushing on for now. Fight the enemies in front of us and worry about the rest as it comes. I've got your back and you've got mine. That's all we need to know to keep pushing on, right little brother?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/aVCvP8g.png) Aur nodded emphatically. "Right! Between the Wolfgar brothers and the others, we can keep pushing forward until the end. We'll find all the crystals and save our world." The knight didn't have a hint of doubt in him.

The Prince and his swordsmen moved toward the main corridor; the other royals followed suit - Princess Saria because she wasn't one to argue, and Princess Rosana because she didn't hear Ayzebel and just moved after the native swordsman mindlessly.

Kerr hesitated but then decided to follow the prince's instructions.

5-20.

Irios looked between both the splitting groups before ultimately deciding where his priorities lie.
16,19
-
Too far to properly respond to the Prince, Ayzebel merely shook her head.
(http://i.imgur.com/5oHqz3Y.png) "Fools. Come on."
17, 13, make sure bow is equipped, repoison bow
-
Aur looked back at the prince and the others and at the other group moving on ahead. He grunted before moving with the other group, he can try to keep them safe until they meet back with the others.
Aur to [17,19]
-
-nope-
-
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Hmm... nothing. A shame."
Chance to 15,14.
-
Hildebrand moves to (16,14), picks up Chance, then cantos to (21,13).
(http://s19.postimage.org/i4f2e6lbz/hildebrand_default.png): "Come on lad, let me give you a lift. Your friends ran off on their own."
-
Kerr frowned as he noticed the others heading off in a different direction.
(http://i.imgur.com/HE8QFOA.png)"Prince Alonse... I don't know what the rest of our group is up to, but at the very least we should make sure that we meet up with them all before we proceed much further. Maybe Ayz is looking for something that could help us in the fight, but it seems foolish for us to push too far forward without all the strength we can gather."
-
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59151152/NoelShoech/NSNeutral.PNG) (http://pastebin.com/3q6eeRZh) "Kerr has a point. It would be much easier to break their ranks with our full strength than with just a handful of us."
-
After killing the thing that she had been facing, Giuseppina found herself rather confused and so headed out to meet the two galloping out from their way.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Oh, Chance, do you kniw what's going on? I'm... a little lost, but it looks like some of us are congregating here? Let me just... help you down here..."
Giuseppina grabbed Chance, and being a lot stronger than she really looked, hoisted him right bodily out of the saddle and carefully to the ground.
20, 13, grab Chance and drop him on the opposite side.
-
Chance, allowing Hildebrand to pull him up to the saddle, nodded.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Thank you. Though I don't think it as 'running off on their own' so much as-"
It wasn't two seconds after being carried down the hallway that he was pulled off by Giuseppina.
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "Wuh-! Erm, please be careful!"
Chance took a moment to steady himself on the ground. Flustered, he brushed his robes and readied his Blaze tome again.
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "Well, as I was about to say; the enemies here appear to be extremely weak to my fire magic. I figure with some help I could flank and remove any other enemies before they become a problem. We'll need as much breathing room as possible if we want to find the shard here."
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Oh. Should I, uh... put you back on the horse?"
She prepared to grab him again.
-
Chance, sensing the movement, flinched in a slight panic.
(http://i.imgur.com/m9oJi4J.gif): "I er- no that won't be necessary. I think Sir Hildebrand has brought me as far as I need to be."
He quickly casted about for another subject to avoid being (wo)manhandled again.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "I apologize for asking, but; you said you were the daughter of an illustrious merchant, correct? I can't help but wonder- are you serving as a mercenary, or as a personal favor?"
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"Oh, uh, it's... it's kind of a test."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/8BCR7q0.gif): "A test..? That's most unexpected." Chance straightened up, suddenly interested, "I would not think a merchant's test would involve this kind of work. Then again you are clearly a talented fighter in your own right, so perhaps it's more for that reason?"
He muttered to himself for a couple moments.
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Oh! Apologies, I should know better than to be rude in speculating. But it is interesting; I would think of this job as something of a test for me as well."
-
(http://i62.tinypic.com/15phod3.png):"It's, uh, well, it's not really a test from my dad, it's more of... a test from me."
(http://i61.tinypic.com/jgjjb6.png)"But you think I'm a talented fighter?"
-
(http://i.imgur.com/3bx0d0C.gif): "Certainly. I have seen plenty of evidence of it and none to the contrary. There is enough force behind your axe throws for even me to sense them. And as a test to yourself, I can also understand. I alone chose to come here, and it will be my decision when I return. I may be able to return home, but I personally can't bear to return with no more knowledge, power or experience than when I left."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "So basically you are saying you need weapons? Hmm..."
"I don't think that anyone will miss few weapons from the palatial armory, sire."
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Beman is right. There are some storerooms nearby, just right-ways from the main corridor; some weapons and medicinial items are stored there. I do not have the keys to these rooms but I won't complain if some doors get vandalized, if you follow my thought. I will show you; Beman take your brothers and keep an eye on the corridor, while I will go with our allies."
"Of course, sire... please, however, at least take Geman with you." The Prince nodded.

-
Kerr had been impressed as he watched the prince dispatch the enemy with ease and upon seeing another enemy attack Ayz, he darted forward with a grin. A quick blow to the thing's arm knocked its blade out of the way and he followed it up with a strong thrust to the heart. Pulling his lance out and letting the body slump to the ground, he turned and grinned at the prince.
"You certainly can handle your trident there, but hopefully I've given a good demonstration on how to really wield a lance."
-
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Thank you. I can see you know how to penetrate one's defenses, quite well in fact. I think we can both learn from each other, as I see that while I rely on slow but hard thrusts, you're more concerned about depth of the fast strikes."
-
Kerr completely missed any possible subtext that might have been in the prince's comment and nodded in return.
"Indeed. I've worked hard to be able to thrust in as quickly as I can, though I still have room for improvement obviously. Though I can see the benefit in your style as well, since going slower and harder would allow for more precision in hitting your target while still achieving the desired result."
-
Chance to 23,7.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Yes, I can see that. There is also this Hart-fog technique, which calls for you to entrap your target between your lance and a obstacle like wall or furniture, for example, and then just slam forcefully against your opponent." The Prince thought for a moment.
(http://i.imgur.com/0MaWN4y.png) "Hmm, actually I think that the palatial library has a picturebook about this fighting technique. I could show you it later, if you wish?"
-
"Oh interesting. I can see how that would be helpful when fighting in close quarters or in a crowded space like in one of these chambers."
The soldier was slightly surprised at the next comment though.
"Interesting. I can't say I've seen many illustrated texts on combat techniques. Usually it is simply passed down from soldier to soldier from what I've seen. Still, I'm sure it would be interesting."
-

After passing the key to Chance, Kerr had a good view of the outside up the stairs and over the balcony.
It was pitch black darkness.
Meanwhile, Chance opened a small room. The smell of dried roots and herbs was rather overpowering. There were bags upon bags of plants and roots and other such ingredients, stored here in bulk. There was also a chest at the wall opposite to the entrance (25.2).

Noel waved over the allied units as he continued down the corridor.
Noel to 17,10.
...Where he realized he was standing next to Ayzebel. Well. That was uncomfortable. He decided to keep his eyes on her hands.
-
Noel trotted up and started looking at her hands. Ayzebel regarded him with mild bemusement and distaste.

Irios moves to 23,6 and tries not to laugh nervously as he heals Kerr.

Ayzebel shot him a sour look.

Giuseppina had strayed a bit, just enough to catch their argument, eliciting some barely-audible mumbling.
(http://i62.tinypic.com/2eba0qv.png):"We're... we're in the middle of a battle in a strange world and there are kinda-skeletons still around so maybe this isn't the best time?"
She scurried off.

Aur moves forward and waits at [22,5], leaning on his halberd for lack of stimulation. His allies have just been cleaving through the enemies, seems he wasn't really needed to protect them this go around.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/pWpYrBj.png) "The two of you really love to find reasons and ways to argue, dont you?" Maribel commented dryly. "I could hear you two arguing down the corridor, you do know there's a time and a place, and that this is neither."
