I AM KING
Interaction: Dirk
Mention: Solirus Juju StaidFoal Viper YsFanatic
Around:​

Dirk's disrespect of his glorious command was not something Katie put any importance over. The sense of power (and megalomania) had overwhelmed his mind. Finally! He finally returned to the position he deserves! Up in the sky, feared by all!

The magic circle on his back glowed as mana was pumped through it. Gravitational field bent around the black cat, propelling him high above the trees and above the clouds. The battlefield was huge, and while there were several powerful warriors in sight, Katie did not put his sight toward them. He wanted to be king. To receive the recognition required to be taken at least seriously, he needed to influence the whole battle in a way only he could. The light in his eyes brightened.

[Under the Night Sky]

All in Castellan would notice the stars in the sky increase in number. Those with higher sensitivity to magic would notice each of the new 'star' was a clump of mana, swirling in a spherical motion. Those familiar with magic, however, would notice that the mana's path followed a specific pattern. A very specific pattern.

Every single new star was a [Pseudo-Astral Eye].

Katie made use of his ridiculous amount of magic to create a vast number of individual magic circles, each with the same purpose, to simulate the effect of a gigantic magic circle. Each [Pseudo-Astral Eye] was focused on a different individual, each an enemy unit. The feedback of thousands Astral Eye would be enough to destroy the mind of a Mortal. Katie, however, was not a mere Mortal.

Before anyone could figure out what the gigantic spell was for, Katie let out a valiant meow and cast a spell he was very familiar with.

[Increase Gravity]

One clump of mana in the sky changed form. On the battlefield, a lizardfolk swung its broadsword sideway to cleave a group of orcs- only to feel an invisible force pushed him against the ground. His feet sunk in. The swing lost its momentum. The lizardfolk fell to his side, easy prey for the orcs.

Similar scenes played off everywhere on the battlefield. Flying enemies had it worst. They crashed to the earth and changed into a lump of flesh. Behind it all was Katie. He floated above the clouds, staring blankly onto the distance as his four paws and tongue moved without a stop.

[Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity] [Increase Gravity]

Abusing his limitless amount of mana, Katie cast spell after spell without an end. At that moment, he suddenly remembered a scene from his past. Frustrated about his losing streaks in an Online FPS game, he coerced- persuaded a hacker to program him a cheat to give him infinite ammo. He was banned not long after but creating a new account was no issue.

That was how he felt at the moment. While everyone struggled against the odds, he had a cheat code to completely decimate his opponents.

"Die, noobs! GG well played!"

Katie was unable to hold his cackle.

 

[Pai Chan]

The world had pretty much gone to hell. There was a world war going on yet this one was not just amongst different nations. This world war was between the humans and the mythical creatures that used to roam the world in secret.

Some idiot decided that revealing the secret world to the humans was a good idea. That they were ready. Like the past few millennia of secrecy was just paranoia. If it was one thing humans tended to agree on bulk with was that they didn’t tend to do too well with change. They were self conscious of, even, their own A.I. that they, themselves, built. Let alone finding out that they were secretly sharing a world with the very creatures they told campfire horror stories about.

Obviously, the reveal didn’t pan over well. Even the few humans that knew the truth before were primarily hunting down Others to keep a kind of population control. If an Other got caught hurting another human or even getting too comfortable then it was a safe bet they’d have a collection of hunters on their doorstep very soon.

Others may have had some advantages in possessing some abilities or natural edges in a fight but humans had the one thing that would almost always win a war.

Numbers.

Humans outnumbered Others one thousand to one. For every werewolf there were at least ten hunters. That’s how it was before the great reveal. Now, most humans have taken up arms. Even an untrained gunman could still shoot in your general direction. And veteran or not, when a bullet made to take you down hit you were going down.

It wasn’t too much of a surprise when Others were joining forces with humans in exchange for safety from being hunted. They knew their fellow creatures better anyway. It was the kind of betrayal that would sew paranoia among the Others’ own kind. They could no longer trust each other for fear of being stabbed in the back. This, of course, was exactly what the humans wanted. It was much easier to fight what was distracted. But even with numbers stronger creatures still proved a challenge as many humans lost their lives in the pursuit of them.

It was like an answer to a prayer when a rare Other presented themselves to help. Of course wanting the deal of immunity to being hunted. It made sense. They considered themselves the last, or at least, one of the few of their kind. A Phoenix with the form of a human with the wings that would dwarf even the angels. Not to mention the power to take on any Other with ease.

The phoenix called herself Heather Kamelotte and proved to be an invaluable ally. It wasn’t long until only a few strong Others remained. The strongest and leaders of creatures such as Werewolves, Fae, and, just recently, Vampires were either wiped out or under control. That only left Angels, Demons, and Witches as the greatest threats to be taken care of. Angels were few but very powerful while also being hard to track and Demons held great numbers and were also hard to get a fix on due to their possession capabilities. So that left Witches. They were difficult to find because many of them were part human. And it was hard to tell a person was a witch outside of their practices. Especially, if they didn’t possess great power.

It took a long time but eventually many of the most feared witches were eventually taken down. But one remained. A witch that carried with her great power. Children coward at the stories told of the witch as she haunted them in their imaginations and nightmares. When people were unfortunate enough to travel through the woods she was said to reside in they either disappeared or turned up dead.

---------------------------------------------
Heather landed, with a grunt, in the middle of a large acre of woods, her wings taking down several small branches. She wanted to make sure she was in the thick of the witch’s territory. Right away she could feel something wasn’t right. The wave of paranoia and disorientation hit the woman hard. She guessed, normally it would overtake a person slowly as they entered the area so that they wouldn’t even notice. But whether arriving by land or sky the effect was the same.

The sound of children laughing from everywhere at once made the phoenix spin her head. The feeling of her being watched was overbearing. Heather knew this was all an illusion but it barely mattered. The sense of dread overpowered all logical thought. Heather closed her eyes to try and regain her composure.

“WITCH,” Heather shouted, still with her eyes closed. It took everything to keep herself focused on the words she spoke. “I will only ask once that you come out of hiding. You will have a lighter sentence if you give up willingly.” Heather listened. She could swear she heard laughter.
Mocking laughter.
Was it in her head?
Heather looked about hoping to see someone step into the open but after a couple minutes nothing happened.
No, that was definitely people laughing at her.
Laughing at her attempts?
No, laughing at her betraying the Others.
Laughing at the fact that she thought there was such a thing as safety.
Laughing at the fact that once her usefulness was done the humans would betray her like she betrayed the Others and her kind would become extinct?

This was the witch injecting these thoughts in her head. It had to be. A wave of anger flushed through Heather as her eyes glowed red. Then a pulse came from her body and went in all directions. The pulse was immediately followed by an intense wave of heat. The woods all around her within a mile radius was reduced to ashes.

“This is your final warning.” Heather called out again. She felt in her right mind again. She felt more in control. There was a sound of the ground crunching behind her.

"Manete!" A woman called out and Heather immediately found herself frozen in place. A figure stepped out of the corner of her eye to stand in front of the phoenix.

It had to be the witch. A pair of antlers protruded from the top of her head. Around her head was a headband with fabric that draped from them and came down just below her eyes. Her long hair was as red as blood making her albino skin stand out. Her clothing resembled white native american garbs.

“So, you’re the witch?” Heather managed to say in a strained voice. The only thing not frozen was her mouth and eyes. The witch grinned.

“And you’re the Phoenix I’ve heard so much about.” The witch's voice was calm and soothing. “The one that hunts down her own. I don’t know whether to be impressed or repulsed.”

“I’m not one of you.” Heather spat trying her hardest to will anything to move.

“Oh, is that what you tell yourself?” The witch was walking circles around Heather. It was hard to tell if she was observing her or something else since the phoenix couldn’t move her head in anyway. “Either way, your reign ends here. You should have stayed away. Heeded the warnings.”

“W-what do you mean?”

“I don’t know if your people-your ‘allies’ told you who you were dealing with. It’s obvious they were probably scared of you. Hence the suicide mission. I am Sowilō. And I can kill anything.” The witch finally stepped away and waved her hand. Suddenly, heather could move again. Right away Heather thrust her hand towards Sowilō and sent a ball of flame towards the witch. But she caught it as if it were a regular ball thrown by a child.

“Ah, the flame of a Phoenix. One of the rarest ingredients to get a hold of. Even more so than a dragon’s scale. A shame it must be used so quickly.” Heather narrowed her eyes.

“You can’t kill me. And your forest is gone. Even if you kill this body I’ll be back with reinforcements. You have nowhere else to hide.” The witch dropped the ball of flame onto the ground and soon a sigil lit aflame with Heather at its center.

“I won’t be hiding. I knew you would be coming. The tide of this war will turn with you out of the picture. The angels and demons will fight back and soon control of the vampires and werewolves will wane from the humans. And all at the cost of two lives.” A pang of worry crossed Heather’s features. Sowilō seemed way too confident in her words. And while heather could now move she couldn’t step out of the circle. And intense heat came over her when she even came close to the burning sigil.

The witch began chanting followed by the ground shaking. And almost as soon as it began a white light overcame the two women. When that light faded Heather found herself waking up and lying on a grassy cliff. Had she died and resurrected? This felt different. She didn’t feel the weakness and drowsiness that normally came with resurrection.

Heather looked about and noticed she wasn’t alone. There were several others of all shapes and sizes. And they were already interacting with each other.

“What is going on?” Heather asked and a familiar voice answered.

“It seems that we were given a second chance.” Heather immediately stood up in a fighting position as she glared at the witch.

“What did you do?” Heather practically shouted.

“I did what I said I would. We are no longer a part of the world we knew. But somehow we are now a part of this one.”

“Wait, so we’re dead? You killed us!” Sowilō just shrugged.

“We no longer have a reason to fight. I performed my duty and you are no longer sworn to be a human slave.”

“I was not a slave.” Heather hissed.

“Oh, right. More of an attack dog on a leash.” Before Heather could retort anymore a being caught her attention. Right away Sowilō could feel the absolute from the creature known as SIN. It was almost a similar feeling she got from the angels at her home world. They were pure in one way or another. This being seemed to resonate with that same aura but much more intense and not so pure. It was different and it bugged Sowilō that she couldn’t exactly get a feel for it. But that just meant she never encountered such a being before. It wasn’t a feeling she should ever forget.

“So are we all supposed to kill each other or…” Heather started as Sowilō started to approach SIN not even paying mind to any of the others. Once within a couple feet, the witch dropped to her knees and bowed until her antlers touched the ground.

“I thank thee for thou resurrection and ask why you have chosen us, specifically?”

Out-Casters

Spoiler: Colors

Kinji (Leader), Choji (Magic Specialist),

Spoiler: Colors

Yaha (Assassin), Hiyori (Brute fighter?), Yuri! (Hand to hand combat specialist), Jugo (Swordsmanship specialist), Hitori (New member?)

As that day went on Hitori had overcome his emotional drawbacks and triumph through Jugo’s training. Another day rolled over making it two days Hitori has been training with Jugo making it three days that have passed during the week. Although very taxing on the body Hitori kept pushing and finally he won. With his blade at Jugo’s throat after constant battles between the two the group watched in shock that Hitori was even able to get a clear victory. They thought it would’ve taken him longer, but Hitori surpassed their expectations. Finally the long hard fight that lasted a whole day of back and forth swings of Jugo constantly getting the slip on Hitori. Jugo caught Hitori, whose legs were shaking and his body looked worn down. Nothing went through Jugo’s head, but how talented this body was. Hitori mentioned he was only 19 yet had so much untapped potential. Turning his head towards the group that just arrived at the two sides, Jugo let go of his sword which turned into purple particles.

Kinji rested his hands within his pockets with a smirk on his face. The boy was successfully getting stronger and at a rapid state. Hitori’s mentioning of combat being the only way he gets stronger was showing a lot right about now. From training with Choji his magic power had risen dramatically and with Jugo’s help Hitori toughened up more and polished his sword skills. Though Kinji had to remember, Hitori shines best using his fist. Choji walked over to Jugo, healing Hitori enough for him to walk on his own. With a nod Choji backed away. With that the night ended with the next day rolling over making it four days. Today Hitori had to face Yaha, yet with an option to go easy and use his eyes or to train legitimately and close them. Of course without backing down Hitori closed his eyes for the remainder of the training.

“Is he sure about agreeing to those terms?” Jugo asked who was watching from the distance, sitting on the ledge of a rock pillar alongside the rest of the outcasters. Kinji smirked watching while standing up with his arms crossed.

“Well he can’t improve if it's too easy on him right?”

“I mean Yaha already has the advantage with his invisibility, but you're having Hiyori going to sneak attack him too? Isn’t that overboard?”

“While Hitori was training with you and Choji I noticed something in him I’ve never seen before. Let me say that. If you can see it or not is on you.”

“I noticed it too.”

“Yuri just knows Kissy is strong!”

“What the hell are you both talking about? Choji do you know?”

“Sadly I’m in the dark with you Jugo.”

“Lia spill it for me.”

“Can’t, you heard Kinji. If you can or cannot is completely on you. I’ll give you a hint. If they push him too far that's when you pay attention.”

“Oh that’s a good hint, I thought you were bluffing saying you see it. Well those glasses do more than rune reading? Hehe”

“Shutup.”

“Heh… So you’re watching close. Are you both interested in him?”

“I’m treating him like he’s one of us, not our weapon. I watch all of you closely. I know all of your weaknesses and most strengths. Either in combat or socially. So to say I’m interested in all of you.”

“Oh wow…”

“They’re about to begin.” With that said by Lia everyone spectating stopped the chatter all paying attention to the two on one.

Hitori closed his eyes shut taking a deep breath. Standing still he focused his mind and body. To him it felt like a shockwave from his body shot through the whole training room. Yaha stepped behind a pillar disappearing from sight and any mana detection. Hiyori was still hiding supressing her mana so no one could detect her either. Hitori stood still waiting for Yaha to attack. Two days passed making it Hitori’s fourth day of training under the Out-Casters care. Barely blocking yet taking multiple direct hits from Yaha and Hiyori both comboing him simultaneously. Hitori tried his absolute hardest to keep up with his eyes closed. Hiyori’s passive magic was kicking in and her hits were doing more damage, the two successfully pushed Hitori back. Going for the finishing blow the two punched shoulder to shoulder towards Hitori yet he flashed stepped out of the way. The two looked around to notice Hitori was behind them on a rock pillar, his eyes still shut. Hiyori was shocked to notice Hitori was starting to pick up on his speed inside of the room. Yaha went invisible once again dashing off towards Hitori’s position, without a word Hiyroi followed him. Hitori then listened to their footsteps flash stepping after them. The one he came in contact with was Yaha landing directly in the gut. Yaha coughed up Saliva before getting sent flying and rolling across the floor. Hiyori turned to see Yaha in shock, until she turned back her eyes opened wide, noticing Hitori was going to punch her with intense speed. Before she knew it Kinji had flashed stepped in the way blocking the attack, the clash created a small crater under them.

“If I didn’t jump in the way you would’ve done something you’d regret.”

Hitori opened his eyes in shock, jumping back scratching the back of his head while awkwardly laughing. Hiyori’s face was red from the embarrassment, although it didn’t stop her from taking her sandal off and smacking Hitori constantly on the face with it. After a few slaps Hitori grabbed her wrist yet she broke free from his grip.

“SCREW YOU!”

“THAT HURTS YOU KNOW! WHEN YOU CONSTANTLY SLAP LIKE THAT!”

“YOU TRIED TO HIT ME WITH DEADLY FORCE THIS IS TRAINING AHOLE!”

“I THOUGHT WE WERE ALL FIGHTING SERIOUSLY DAMN NOT MY FAULT YOU WEREN’T READY SHRIMPY!”

“SHRIMPY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!”

“Can you guys… calm down…? No…? Okay…” The two were going back and forth while Kinji and Yaha watched them. Kinji was starting to get annoyed with the two so he stomped over to them hitting them both on the side of the head. Watching them landing on the ground Hiyori got up even more mad than before.

“WHO THE HELL TOLD YOU TO HIT ME!?”

“YOU BOTH WON’T SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!”

“Ouch man..” Hitori said, rubbing the side of his head that got knocked by Kinji. Kinji walked over to Hitori offering a hand to him. Hitori took it standing back up, following up to the two smiling at one another. After letting go of Kinji’s hand Hitori looked over to Yaha to make sure that the man was okay, which he was. Yaha walked over to the group of four to listen to the conversation. Everything was going smooth, the group was bonding with their new found member. For the next two days Hitori was going to have to train with Kinji and so he looked forward to it not going to sleep the night before. Doing physical and mental exercises Hitori trained the whole night barely going to sleep an hour before training.

As the training began Hitori and Kinji clashed furiously. Kinji had given Hitori the option to go all out now that he was physically stronger then what he was the last time they sparred. The two were having fun going all out, while they fought Kinji kept giving Hitori pointers to help him further polish his training. After the two fought all day and were physically drained they took a bath together in the training room’s hot spring which was unaffected by the rooms gravitational enhancement. Kinji and Hitori both had a towel wrapped around their waists, although Kinji had one on his head as well. The two were the last to bathe out of the group, because that’s what Kinji wanted.

“How do you feel with the group? We’ve been together for five days now.”

“Good, like I said before I appreciate everyone on the help, and just making times like these better. Y’know I’m still recovering from thinking about my world being destroyed after I was summoned here. I met three friends before being brought here, but I left them to get stronger. I just hope they’re doing the same. Mollug isn’t a joke.”

Kinji’s usually smirking face got a bit serious while listening to Hitori speak. “I’m sorry for your world being destroyed. If you don’t mind me asking, what was your world like before coming here?” Kinji rested his arms against the rocks, while sitting back waiting for Hitori to answer. This was the best time for the two to bond on a one on one level since the group was off doing their own thing.

“Well, to start it was a very complicated world. Things that you thought were reality wasn’t reality. On my world…”

As Hitori spoke to Kinji explaining how dark and terrifying his world was yet there was some peace in certain areas. Although the mentions of 20+ ft tall demons on the hunt to turn the world into darkness made Kinji shake a bit.

“So that entity, the “Shadow”. What is it?”

“I’ve never personally seen it for myself, but when I was younger my elders always told me it was a force of evil so powerful one that looks into the shadow will be turned into a corrupted version of themselves. It’s like they lose their humanity and undergo these changes that go against the laws of life.”

“What do you mean..?”

“The person who deemed the power from the shadow does become stronger no doubt, but… You know if I were to stab you in the heart you’d die right?”

“Yeah?”

“Well one who gained powers from the shadow does not die.. Yet they undergo these weird phenomenons known as hollowing. Until they complete the shadow’s request they will continue to undergo Hollowing until they reach the lowest point of hollowing. We called it the withered, those beings are usually found in the darkest places within the shadow lands. In order to replenish the light in my world I had to go on a solo journey across the shadow lands and collect souls to then use as fuel for the fire.”

“So were you close?”

“Nearly yeah. Until I died trying to protect a village from a crazy powerful mage, that I hope I can face again. Hopefully SIN will do that much for me right?”

“Probably yeah, like how he summoned you and your friends. How many were there that got summoned?”

“SIN told us there was a group before us so I can’t really tell you how many of us there are.”

“So he’s getting out of control… You didn’t have anyone from your world brought with you?”

No response came from Hitori which made Kinji tilt his head in confusion. Kinji then understood the one that was summoned with Hitori, must be what he was so afraid of. Lia mentioned to Kinji that Hitori was afraid of something, although obviously the demon in him scared him, but he hardly mentioned the demon interfering with him since the last time Choji placed the blessing on him. Choji hasn’t placed the blessing since which made Kinji curious why his demon wasn’t coming out.

“I’ve been asking you all the questions.”

“Yeah I actually wanted to ask. Why were you guys exiled from Nortestra? I remember you mentioned it the other day, then again when we ate the other night. How Nortestra might go against us like they did you guys."

“Oh that.. Well it dates back a few years ago, people within the walls of Castellan started to disappear simultaneously, but more than simple death, there were no bodies found. Only the victims’ clothes remained in their place. The situation caused a great uproar within the militia. The king terrified what was going on sent out investigative groups, yet they weren’t heard from again.”

“How is that possible?!”

“I feel like I have a clue on what was causing this, but at the same time I have no credible evidence.”

“Continue sorry.”

“But yeah, so commander at the time Jugo of the black knights took his lieutenant Yuri on the investigation to check out what the hell was going on. They searched each wall. Yet when they left I never saw them again… So I personally asked the King to go on the investigation myself, I took Commander of Executive Militia Yaha basically ninjas to make it easier for you, Magic specialist Choji, a close friend of mine Hunter, and Liberian Lia. On our way to Yuri and Jugo disappearance site we met up with Hiyori, who was the lieutenant of the commander of research and development at the time Ian. She was there collecting samples for him. Though as we finally arrived we found ourselves attacked by demonfied Yuri and Jugo. Even though we had such a massive group the two were just too strong with their new demon found powers. Thanks to Choji though he managed to seal the two for a moment, while I saved that little brat who was unconscious at the moment Hiyori. Out of nowhere she attacked me, like what the hell?! I didn’t understand why till I noticed strange markings on her body. Then not too long after everything went dark for everyone. After the darkness faded I was the only one that wasn’t striked down and had to witness everyone bleeding laying on the floor unable to move. When I realized it, it was Toren. If you manage to remember these names I’m going to tell you good if not it’s okay. Toren was at the time a lieutenant under Forsith the four armed giant. Anyways. I questioned Toren why he would betray us, knights that bled together to protect the walls of Castellan, why he would betray the king yet I got no response from the man. He just watched us all undergo the transformation into demons. Then a face I never thought I’d see was my own lieutenant, his name is Aldreg. He arrived with another knight that didn’t gain popularity until we were dismissed from Castellan. Gen. Remember those three names no matter what Hitori you got me?! I’m telling you our past, I hate all three of those guys with everything I have. Aldreg, Gen, and Toren.”

“I will remember them, don't worry!”

“Good. Now all that happened after that thanks to Ian he turned us back into humans, but we were accused by Aldreg and the King as vigilantes seeking power to overthrow the king. I don’t blame them though I did have a history with picking fights with royals.”

“Why?”

“Because why do they get to have say over everyone and live such lavish lives while everyone else is normal? Everyone should be equal, y’know? That’s how I see the world at least.”

“You mentioned a name Hunter, where’s he?”

“Heh. I do not know.”

Vali, Obito & Albert, Erza, Ain, & Fenris​

Hakai…

Hands starting to fade into purple particles, soon half of his body ended up gone. Before everything went black Vali had last words for the god that is now erasing him. Once he was done Vali was reduced to nothing, what was left of him was multiple purple particles. Everything was dark and felt really cold to the silver haired mage who had challenged the gods of his world. Vali with nothing left in him closed his eyes and went to rest.

Wind blew over his face making the boy jump up into completely standing up. It made his head a bit oozy and his vision was blurry. Once the side effects ended Vali realized he was in a group with multiple people he’s never seen before. The ones that gained his attention were SIN, Ain, Erza, and Argis. They all had very promising mana waves radiating off of them, sending Vali into wanting to fight all of them, though he had to understand where he was. Vali turned around and jumped back to gain distance from someone who was standing behind him. It was a man that hid under a camouflage cloak. Steam shot out from two directions out of the hood.

“Why can’t I sense you like the others?”

“What is this sense you talk about?

I assume it’s similar to how I scan everyone in the surrounding areas BP.

“Again what the hell is BP?”

Fool BP is the averaged out estimation of the person's battle power it says in my data. As long as you are close enough for my to analyze them I can show you a almost accurate estimation of their power.

"Power..?"

“Being able to sense mana, anyways who are you, and who are you talking to? You want to pick a fight?”

“To my AI, I don’t possess that ability to “sense” mana. I do not “fight” I kill. Analyzing everyone in the area.”

“So is that why you were behind me? Sorry, but that’s quite strange to “analyze”.”

Told you, he’d react this way.

“We’re on Valucia, brought here by that guy over there. Apparently he’s a “god” is what the database is telling me. Everyone is establishing groups, and you along with that guy that’s sleep on the giant wolf are the strongest BP’s here.”

“Explain BP?”

“Similar to your sense I assume you can tell who’s powerful and weak?”

“Yeah.”

“So it’s fairly similar.”

“So you want to make a group with me?” Vali asked the strange man under the cloak who nodded. Vali smirked and stood straight instead of in a battle stance. “Sure, I’ll travel with you. I don’t really understand what’s going on, but if what you said is true then I could use someone with the knowledge like you.”

“You have humor.”

“What?”

“My way of lau-” In that moment Obito pulled his black star out of its hollister moving Vali out of the way. His pistol was pointing directly at the person who was about to attack Vali. Although Obito noticed a sword was pointing behind the person’s head as well. “So you woke up.”

“Now how did you know I was asleep?”

“Your body status said it was on rest.”

“My what, what? Aye get your sword off my noggin or I’m blasting your ass too.”

“Get your pistol off me and the silver hair boy’s head and sure.”

Fenris jumped over to help his master, making Erza to jump away from the wolf who almost caught the rose red hair in it’s jaws. That gave Ain the opening to flash step behind Obito completely blitzing the android assassin making Obito to look in shock not seeing Ain in front but behind him. Obito tried to turn around as fast as he could, but Ain was about to fire at him until Vali invaded, going for a few punches, making Ain block them with his guns. Obito let some shots off from his gun at Ain who was doing cartwheels to dodge swiftly. Fenris chased Erza around fighting her blade with his teeth.

“Cool you got a gun too, I’m used to pistols. Mine’s blessed though wanna see?” Ain said jokingly while dodging both Vali and Obito’s attacks. Ain slid through the grass pointing his left gun at obito and Vali shooting off ten shots at once. Vali flashed stepped out the way, but Obito took 5 head on coughing up blood falling backwards. Vali looked back noticing Obito took the hits, turning back at Ain he had anger in his eyes. A bright light shined from his chest. “Oh? Your magic power is rising!”

So it’s that time? Vali nodded in response from the voice coming from his chest. Vali jumped in the air smashing his fist in the palm of his hand drawing them back. By realising his hands the bright light broke from his body shining his draconic armor. “Vanishing White Dragon Albion’s Dragon Force! Draconic White Scale Mail!” The same voice from before shouted out seemingly from the orb that was in the center of Vali’s chest and the armor. With sheer speed Vali closed the distance between him and Ain and they engaged in intense speed combat. Ain was getting pushed back by Vali, but not taking direct hits from Vali instead blocking them with his twin pistols. “For how long can you hold this defense before you break!” Vali shouted to Ain before shooting a small blue ball of mana at Ain. Ain dodged it using flash step and whatever was behind him got consumed in the explosion created by the ball. Ain smirked looking behind him although he didn’t see anything.

“So that’s your power? Should I compliment you by showing a bit of myself too? FENRIS! I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO USE YOUR HELLFIRE! Now! You! Uhhh…. You…”

“Vali.”

“Ah! Ain. Now Vali! Let’s get this show started!” Ain smirked standing still as his mana sprouted out from his body showing off a gigantic greenish aura. The ground around them began to shake as pebbles started floating up. “You know, pretty boy. I like how you get down. Howl.” Ain said before his body was completely covered in a green light before bursting showing him in his released state. Ain was crouching when the smoke cleared from where he stood.

“Let’s go then” Vali flew at Ain after witnessing Ain as well undergo a transformation. The two clashed once again creating shakes throughout the cliff. Erza had subdued Fenris completely, knocking him out with her knowledge with wolves' weak points.

“So this beast is exactly like a wolf, yet just bigger?” She jumped off the giant creature running to Obito who was still on the floor. Sliding to his aid she helped him back up to his feet. “Easy there are you okay?”

Obito’s mask released steam from the cylinders on the side of his mouth moving away from Erza holding his waist pulling his pistol out on her. “Don’t touch me.” The assassin said to the crimson red haired girl. Erza smirked, pointing her sword at Obito not moving, waiting for him to make a move. Obito felt the hill shaking, looking over to Ain and Vali who were clashing in the air explosions happening all through the air. “What the hell are those two?”

“What, you can’t see them?”

“No? Can you?”

“Yeah. That’s strange you can’t see them. I don’t have time to play with you sadly, I gotta stop those two before they piss off mr. god over there.” Erza flashed stepped off towards the two boys.

Ain and Vali landed on the cliff out of a smoke cloud in the air, they were both breathing heavily yet Vali wasn’t in his armor anymore which made Ain laugh out maniacally. Vali smirked before his armor reappeared onto him. Ain stopped laughing in interest to Vali’s magic power rising back up.

“So you don’t know how to lose?” The two flashed stepped to each other, but stopped and went off track due to Erza standing in the middle of the two. Vali pushed himself off her so that he didn't completely crash into her. Ain looked over to Erza. “YOU WANNA DIE TOO LADY!? GOT DAMN!”

“Why the hell are we even fighting?! You didn’t even ge-” Ain was now groping Erza while she wasn’t paying attention. Elbowing the boy off her she went to cut him, but Ain fell on his back and flipped backwards to avoid the attack. “YOU PERVERT! THAT’S IT!” Erza’s mana rose as her sword glowed bright. “ARMAGEDDON BLADE!” Though instead of the aura blade growing in size it shrunk.

Divide divide divide divide divide divide divide.

“What?” Erza looked at Vali who was holding his hand up towards her. Lowering his arm his armor released. “So we're done fighting..? You though! I’ll deal once this whole meeting is over!”

“Sure. I’ll give you another breast massage.”

“You disgust me.”

“You disgusted me the minute you pulled your sword on me.”

“I appreciate that.”

“What?”

“Letting me stretch like that after being brought back to this world, something I noticed was my scale mail used up more mana then before.”

“I assume it’s because when we were revived here we’ve gotten subnationally weaker. That’s only my assumption though. Nice to meet you. Erza” She reached her hand out.

Vali and Ain both looked at the girl weirdly, she went from fighting them to trying to shake their hands. Vali and Ain grabbed her hand at the same time, though Ain winced in pain due to Erza squeezing his.

“OW!”

“Shutup…”

Obito looked at the three greeting each other from a distance. Their BP’s lowered dramatically from what they were just at making Obito realize, if they were like this then how were the others in the group like? That guy with all the tattoos and the “scale mail” guy both were insanely strong, stronger than anything Obito ever seen in his world.

“Vali”

“I ain’t gonna tell you my name after you squeezed my hand, the hell did you do to my Fenris?”

“Put him to sleep, he looked deprived of sleep.”

“That’s none of your concern. I don’t have time for making friends anyway. Piss the hell off.” Ain walked off towards Fenris leaving the two behind. When he passed Obito he felt the man giving him a cold hawk glare as if he could pounce at any moment. “Try it, that pistol of yours can’t do shit to me.”

“I wasn’t planning on shooting. I have a lot of improvement to do in order to kill someone like you.”

After some time of chatter Vali and Erza walked back up the cliff to the main group. Erza felt awkward and embarrassed that everyone had to see her deal with the two in that manner. Vali had his hands in his pockets with bruises all over his body they both stopped in front of SIN.

“Excuse me kind sir.” She said holding a hand up to Nicholas as she walked passed him. She noticed a woman with antlers bowing down to the man as if she had the highest respect for him. Erza nodded and bowed to SIN too until standing straight. “I’d like to ask of you why you’d bring all of us here?”

“Is it so I can continue to fight strong people?"

Karen , June, & Synthia
(Post takes place right after the Mollug Commanders are done with their meeting)​

The two finally got to their shared tent after working with Synthia’s squadron. June sat gently on her bed while Karen fell backwards on her bed. Karen let out a soft sigh while starring at the ceiling. June clapped her hands together getting back up walking to the back of the tent changing into more comfortable clothes then going back to her bed.

“Are you okay Karen?”

“Yeah why what’s up?”

“You’ve been quiet since we got in here, you seemed down while he orchestrated the group as well.”

“Synthia was hurt.. why didn’t she ask for our assistance?! I’m not saying I’m a pawn for her, but why doesn’t she allow us to just help her?!”

“Because, we’re on camp watch remember? Make sure this place doesn’t get ambushed by Nortestra’s knights.”

“That’s complete bs. We’re stronger then any of the mages Synthia brings out there! You even know that! We wouldn’t have lost Wyman if we just went hard from the start.. Why does Cardoza show up now?!”

“Because preparation. It takes time for such an elite figure to even prepare for this scale of warfare. Plus the time it takes to get here is nothing to be undermined.”

“I guess you’re right June.. hopefully soon we can join the frontlines. There were so many crazy strong opponents out there.”

“I felt them too. Especially the demon… I knew it wasn’t her or anything she summoned due to how foreign the mana felt.”

“Yeah you're a lot better at depicting that much then me.”

Synthia was on her way towards her commander tent after the meeting with Cardoza and Alexander. A lot was discussed and a lot in general happened during this invasion today. Karasu sat on Synthia’s shoulder with his red orbs glaring at everyone they passed by. Synthia was thinking about how one week from today the battles will continue. As she travels through the camp stumbling upon her two inquisitor’s tent. It was a decent size for women of their ranks. Stepping into the tent she noticed the two instantly stared at her. It was awkward silence for a moment, Karen sat up scooting over as Synthia sat by her legs crossed. She cleared her throat looking at June and Karen who was awing at her beauty. Synthia glared at each of them making the two girls clear their throats sitting straight up.

“I need both your help. I got clear from Cardoza. You both won’t be on camp watch anymore, you’re joining me on the front lines.”

Karen’s eyes shined bright from Synthia’s words as she jumped up excited “yahoo!!!” June smirked towards the entrance of their tent.

“We felt it. That demon, all of the strong mana sources.”

“It's worse than you could even imagine. These… “summoned” is more of a problem then I’d like to admit. One of them…. even made a mockery of me…”

“WHAT?!” The two girls jumped up with a serious angered tone in their voices now. Synthia waved her hand to sign to calm them. The two sat back down listening.

“They have abilities I have never seen before. So when we’re out there… Please stay safe and watch each other's backs.”

The two girls' eyes opened up, shocked that Synthia was being nice to them. Why now of all times Synthia was being nice to them? Though it felt assuring after all these were hard times. Resources running low, money being spent, and a lot of Mollug’s soldiers were dying. Not to mention they even lost a commander. The two girls nodded with a smirk on their faces. Karen gently scratched Karasu’s chin then jumped out of the bed grabbing her samehada which was under its wrappings pointing at the two women. “Me and Samehada will protect you lady Synthia. I promise Mollug will finally win this war. Although we lost Wyman, Sir Cardoza came to our aid in the time of crisis. Keep your head up, we’ll prove to you why you chose us to be your inquisitors!”

“Karen is right, lady Synthia, keep your head up. When is our next planned attack?” June said with her gentle voice. She could hear chatter from everyone outside thanks to her elf ears.

“Our next attack will be in a week. So prepare yourselves. I won’t allow failure.” With that she stood up leaving the tent. The two girls smirked at each other nodding, basically acknowledging the excitement they both shared.

Synthia stood in front of the tent before walking off to her own. Karasu’s red orbs looked at Synthia, he’s never seen her like this. She wasn’t holding a cold poker face anymore, yet she was a lot more lost in thought.

Are you okay?

No response from Synthia made Karasu worried. Finally arriving at the tent Synthia entered and instantly fell into her bed with her face stuffed in a pillow. Karasu floated down onto the table watching her.

“Karasu.”

Yeah?

“Was Wyman’s death my fault?”

No?

“Then why isn’t she here? Why did I lose to that boy?”

I don’t know Synthia. He was a lot stronger than we thought.

“I want to break every bone in his body, I want to make him scream for mercy. Destroy everything he decides to protect. When I see him I will go all out from the start and crush him like the ant he is!”

Of course madam..

Hakai ​

Hakai woke up the next day standing up letting the blanket fall to the floor, he looked around the room noticing Bella jumped out of the couch from fear not realizing he was going to get up so fast. She wondered if the knight stretched or yawned when he woke up, but he didn't. Hakai grabbed the blanket pulling it up to his face. He then glared to the vampire woman who eeked hiding behind the couch to be protected. Hakai placed the blanket on the chair walking off. Bella looked over the couch and noticed Hakai wasn't mad yet leaving her in the room. In a swift burst she jumped over the couch jogging after Hakai. Leaving the guildmaster's room Hakai looked around noticing all the guild members in the guild hall chattering, eating, drinking, etc.

"Bella."

"Yes!"

"That city you talked about. The name?"

"Tesirael."

"We had a trade with them?"

"Yes, but it was agreed upon the night. I cannot roam out during the day, I am heavily weakened and would cause you issues."

"Rojy?"

"I remember he said that he was going to find a place to read and had Gustas go off with him. Wanna go find him? Only place I remember is our old small library that my dad used to write in his journal though I never read in it."

Hakai nodded to the vampire so she then lead him the way to the small library. Going through the twist, turns, upside downs, horizontal, vertical rooms they finally arrived to the door. Bella slowly opened the door noticing Rojy sitting there. She had a bit of disgust in her eyes from what happened the other day, but she wasn't going to cause a scene. Not in front of this black armored knight. Hakai moved Bella out the way stepping into the small room that was called a library.

"Let's go."

Rojy Erac​

(Rojy’s Mind)

Lawful: “Tell me did you learn anything useful?”

Good: “... I have… although I was stuck reading the geography for hours it really was-”

Lawful: “Did you find anything useful for right now.”

Good: “.......Well… apparently magic is abundant in this world and it really boils down to anything.”

Lawful: “Can we use it?”

Good: “Maybe but not without it being transformed into our own power.”

Lawful: “Will this increase the rate at which our power grows?”

Good: “... I guess so? I mean if it’s energy I can harness which then transforms into the power we use, then it should in fact increase out power by quite a lot”

Lawful: “Good, however I don’t like dealing with things myself, we should begin working on creating others to do out bidding.”

Good: “...”

Lawful: “This isn’t a suggestion this is an order.”

Good: “... ok… so what are you thinking?”

Lawful: “Well I think it’d be nice to have some sort of mindless bodyguard. However we’re going to need your memories for that.”

Good: “Well I can try but I can’t guarantee anything, it’s been… quite some time...”

Lawful: “yes yes I know, but do it as soon as you can before that asshole wakes up again and decides to mock and ruin your concentration again. It’s a miracle you got him to sleep from just reading.”

Good: “Why thank you I used to enjoy reading quite a lo-”

(Outside Rojy’s mind)

Rojy quickly turned his head as he heard footsteps approaching the door and not soon after Bella, that vampire Chaotic tortured for fun opened the door. Rojy entered his domain expecting Bella to attack him for revenge but in that same moment Hakai pushed away Bella and walked into the room giving him a simple command.

Rojy sighed. “Firstly, do not give me orders, you can get away with that with the other Rojy’s, but you won’t get away with it on me. And secondly, I’m planning on doing something very important, so you better give me a very valid reason to even go with you.” Rojy simply sat on the chair and even placed his legs on the table.

Hakai​

Without much said Hakai didn’t really care much for Rojy’s retaliation as he left the room all he had was to tell Rojy to follow. Bella watched Hakai leave the room thinking he was mad so she followed after him. As they walked down the halls of the guilds Hakai was still quiet and Bella couldn’t take it anymore.

“Why don’t you talk more? Isn’t he your comrade?”

“I don’t deem anyone as an ally.”

“But why are you so complicated? You hardly say anything to me after all and I’m trying to help but I don’t understand.”

“Then do not help and follow him in carrying on with your own business.” Hakai continued walking leaving Bella standing there shutdown from the harsh words from the black knight. Hakai had no interest in chatter he only wanted to understand the environment he was in a bit more.

Heather Kamelotte
Heather was still kind of stunned from the whole situation. She felt like this was a dream. Hell, Heather didn't even know if she had died or not. It wasn't like Sowilō explained what she had done. And it had happened fast. Heather thought she was going to die? As the witch put it, "die a true death." Did the spell go wrong and teleported them instead? Heather felt a headache coming on from all the unanswered questions swirling around in her head. She needed answers. Needed to know what this witch had done to her.

Just as Heather decided to catch up with Marga a fight seemed to break out among some others. Was this really a battle royale? Had it begun? But a quick survey of the rest of the crowd let Heather know that it was just the individuals fighting. A handfull of them. Some humanoid, some not. Heather decided to sit on a large, nearby, rock and watch. Seeing others fight would at least take her mind off of how she got here in the first place. And maybe some of the competition would get rid of each other...if this was a competition. The woman definitely wasn't going to interfere. She had gone in unprepared once and it landed her here.

What the hell is this place? Heaven? Why would people fight in Heaven?

The headache started to appear again and Heather returned her attention back to the skirmish. Some were saying the names of abilities that they were performing. Were they witches and wizards like Sowilō? Heather knew they said the names of the spells that were cast. Well, most of them. But Heather could understand the words they said. What the witches and wizards normally chanted were words in Latin. Did things work differently here?

Before the phoenix knew it the fighting had ceased as suddenly as it began. Now they were talking with each other as if they weren't on top of one another a few moments ago. Then they parted ways. Two of them made their way back to the majority of the group that was crowded around a man. It was where Marga had quickly went as well. The witch and the red haired girl had bowed to the person that stood at the center of the crowd. Heather stood and also made her way over. She didn't know who the man was but obviously he was important and was probably the reason why her and the witch her here.

The red head asked a similar question that peaked Heather's interest. So it appeared that this man had, indeed, brought them here. Heather quickly looked around. There were quite a few people of all different types. Fully armored man, a dog, a cat wearing clothes, a boy with similar antlers to Marga's own. There were a couple of people with wings as well and they were the ones that peaked Heather's interest the most. Were there angels here as well? That means this being that summoned them had a very large amount of power to demand, even, angels here. Many other people looked quite normal aside from a unique physical trait here and there. What was the purpose? Hopefully, some of the gnawing questions could be answered and lessen the pain in Heather's head.

Ithlyaenn Emir & Sakujo Honomura
by Snackofthefuture and Lu-Lu




Ithylaenn braced herself for impact.

Steeling herself against the force, she swung her glaive forward, its pointed tip intercepting the shot aimed at her, the resulting explosion sending visible shockwaves through the cloud cover.
The blast tore through her armor, ripping the glaives spear-like tip from its grip and sending the goddess hurtling towards the Earth below where she hit the ground with a resounding crash.

Crystalline ichor flowed from the gaping wound at her side, shining in a variety of colours, namely cold blues, her blood seemed to be made of glacial ice as it dripped from between the armoured fingers gripping the torn flesh; almost seeming to hold her ruined body together as she struggled to right herself, her damaged armour creaking with each movement.

Her eyelids grew heavier as each second passed and she tightened the grip she held with her free hand on her glaive, adjusting her posture so that she supported her growing weight on the weapon, her forehead relaxing against the cold steel as the remnants of her torn and tattered wings beat weakly against the earth.
Her breaths were laboured, her lungs seeming to be on fire with each forced inhale but she could never have imagined for a second, that she would be dying. Even now as her eyes closed and her ears deafened to the sound of the world- her world- crumbling around her, she never thought that death was an inevitability.
It’s just a moment. To recover.

*

It seemed shorter than a moment had passed, just enough time to take a breath and regain her senses, yet when she opened her eyes again Ithlyaenn found herself in a place alien to her- her coral irises narrowed as the scene came into focus, her plated armour rattling as a thin veil of lightning began to ripple across her body.
She had woken still kneeling as she gripped her glaive,its pointed tip shone in the light, and her hand still clutched at a wound that no longer existed.

A voice seemed to linger in her head, hidden amongst a loud hum that threatened to split her mind and currently distorted her vision; she was unable to make sense of the words being spoken as the spirits within squabbled amongst each other, vying for attention and control, and continuing to try only intensified the pain she felt.
Ithlyaenn raised the hand at her side to her head, cradling her aching temple in her palm as she fought against the disorientation currently plaguing her.
A dream?

She grimaced as her head pulsed again, her features indistinct as she clutched at her head, her features constantly shifting much like the clouds above, as her eyes and hair shifted from golden to storm grey, to white and back to their distinctive coral pink only to continue the cycle a moment later.

Where are we? The air is different here!
Chimed the four spirits coinhabiting her body, their voices contributing to the ache in her mind and their unrest seemingly the cause of most her disorientation.
Calm yourselves a moment and we might find out!

**

Sakujo was walking away from the crowd of Summoned folk on the cliffside when Ithylaenn appeared. He had been laughing and enjoying his newfound existence, his new life free from the expectations of Shogun military existence when he spotted a strange almost apparition like being appear. This was Ithylaenn, though Sakujo had no idea who or what the being was upon seeing her. This was to be expected as most of the summoned had no idea who each other were. And yet her appearance was strange indeed to the starfaring samurai; He had encountered multitudes upon multitudes of alien races and beings, and yet the woman who appeared before him was far stranger than any of them in a very unspecific and unique way.

He jogged over to her, whistling, hand on his blade, ready to attack or defend if she proved hostile, and as he neared he noticed her features were quite pretty, if a little strange and ethereal in appearance. They almost seemed to be changing as he got closer, and as he got within several feet he realized they were indeed shifting. What a strange alien this was. “I must have this one as an ally!” He thought to himself as he went over the advantages of having a shapeshifter on one’s side. “Ho there strange being! You look to be a Summoned as well! Are you faring alright? You look to be in a spot of pain my strange and shifting friend! Care to join me as I venture off into a completely unknown and possibly hostile environment!?”

**

I cannot feel the Divine's presence!
What happened?! The War!
She winced as her head pulsed painfully, clouding her vision as the panic stricken voices echoed in her mind.
The war? Notus surely even you can feel the δύναμις* carried by the wind. Wherever this is it is not Rævaryn.
Not a dream then? Did those disgusting mortals kill us??
The spirits continued their barrage of questions and bickering despite her equally confused state and as the internal argument continued, a loud whistle cut through the air and momentarily drew her attention away from the ache in her head.

Silence!

She demanded of them as she turned her head towards the source, her coral pink hair transitioning to Eurus’ golden blonde as she did so and squinted towards the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps.
She began to speak, readying a warning for the approaching stranger as the air around her began to crackle and hiss as the distinct sound of electricity filled the immediate air around the kneeling deity; yet the stranger's intent was made known as he neared and also began to berate her with questions ending in an offer of a spot at the strangers side for some sort of journey.
Her head pulsed again.

“Stay your distance stranger if you enjoy feeling your limbs.”

Ithlyaenn warned, the glaive held in her grip now visibly crackling with electricity as a deliberate show of force though she listened intently to the words he spoke as they were much easier to bear in the moment than the chorus in her mind. He spoke of a summoning, referring both to himself and her as a ‘summoned’ which could yet provide an answer regarding her relocation.

“Summoned?”
She began to rise to her feet, her armour creaking as she braced her weight against the glaive, pausing a moment as she struggled first to her knees.
“Summoned where?”

**

Sakujo recognized that the woman had not heard SIN, had not heard any of the strange and obviously very powerful being’s monologue on their purpose in this new world.
He smiled widely and knowingly, laughing as he bowed quickly and lightly in introduction, the method those from Shogun used to greet one another.
“Haha, Summoned to Valucia! At least that's what I think it's called? That's what I was told this land was named!”
He gestured to himself, her and the other individuals standing around the cliffside. “We, I'm thinking, are the Summoned; at least, that's what the man in the chair who brought us all here calls us. Apparently, we are to conquer this world! Take it in our name and bring it to heel! I myself find the idea not unpleasant, though I wish to find my bearings and figure out a little more about this world before I begin raising a warhost.”
Rising from his bow, the samurai held out his hand in the more universal greeting of the handshake.
“I am Known as Sakujo Honomura, The Dark Oni, Pride of Honomura, and the Butcher of the North. Tell me, what titles do you go by?”

**

Ithlyaenn stared at Sakujo for a moment, the expression on her face indistinguishable though her features began to come into focus as the four others calmed themselves at his explanation.
What he said seemed true, it was most likely that the indistinct voice she’d heard earlier was this being known as SIN and this mentioned monologue had been drowned out by the chaos caused by the stressed spirits and her own disorientation. Conquest was nothing new to the deity having done such tasks in the name of the Divine, though she had no personal interest nor desire to pursue a personal crusade or to serve a being decidedly weaker than herself. Once she’d factored in the fact that the everyday lives of mortals interested her even less so on most occasions she paused to consider the merits of such a task.

“Conquest is the right of the Divine and not all have a right to such a title, by your wording I gather there are many more of these Summoned.”

She offered in response, taking the hand on her temple and gripping the glaive between both, she hoisted herself from her knees to her feet and the wings that had otherwise draped lifelessly at either side of her now fluttered to life as they stretched out and beat thrice against the air to work out the stiffness in the muscle her arms following suit as she stretched them high above her head.
The fatigue that had gathered in her limbs seemed to melt away and she turned to face Sakujo directly, her silver armour glinting under the sunlight as loose locks of coral hair were picked up and carried in the slight breeze.

“I am Ithlyaenn Emir var Emreis; Patron of The Cardinal Wind, The Tempest. Anointed Executioner of the Divine.”

At his hurried bow she offered a slight nod of her head in response, taking a moment longer to study the hand he’d extended out to her; she recognised the gesture as one commonly used by mortals to greet one another and after some thought she extended her own.

“Thank you for your aid Sakujo it seems I will have to regain my bearings here in Valucia.”

**

Sakujo’s hand remained out, his smile plastered across his face, toothy and clean in its entirety. He took her hand as she studied it, him looking her in the eyes and shaking it twice. He noted the raised eyebrow and raised his own opposite eyebrow in response.
“A pleasure to meet you Ithlyaenn.”

Nicholas

"Ah, the nerve of that furball..." he muttered. "You appear to be the only one here that resembles the military force of my world, therefore I have chosen you to aid me in reinstating everything that I've been taken from!" Nicholas turned away, looking up at the sky. He held his hands out at his sides, curling his hand into a fist to have electricity rush into the batteries of each finger. "Ve vill cleanse Valucia of hereti—" His speech was cut short when something batted the back of his knees, sending the Grand Inquisitor crashing backwards onto his pack. On impact, the pack made a louder whirring noise, and a sphere of blue electricity grew from the pack to its surroundings. It would make Nyx's and Goodest Boi's fur puff out like a ball of fluff.

A red-haired woman passed by him as he hurriedly stumbled up, looking for the perpetrator when he set to glaring daggers at Adon. "I gave you the honor of receiving an invitation to join my journey, and in return I receive humiliation?!" Nicholas aimed his hands at Adon, electricity surging from the pack to his gauntlets. But after five seconds, he lowered his hands. "Under any other circumstances, I'd have electrocuted you where you stand... but Rudolf Diesel had all of us summoned for a reason. If your purpose isn't to aid me, then it must be of other use..." Even though he said that, Nicholas still glared at Adon as if he insulted his mother and kicked his dog. "If you have nothing to say, then I shall be on my way."

Rojy Erac​

It wasn’t surprising that Hakai simply left after meeting any social challenge considering he couldn’t brute force Rojy out of the room and Lawful Rojy thought Hakai was mostly socially inept considering he always avoided talking or just resolving anything with words.

(Rojy’s mind)

Good: “That was, surprising… I thought at least he’d be more persistent”

Lawful: “Don’t be foolish, he’s not someone you can trust, no one is.”

Good: “...right...”

Lawful: “The only ones we can trust are mindless soldiers which is why you’ll need to use that memory of yours in order to create some of those”

Good: “You mean, using memories of when I was still in the… dammit the name doesn’t come… I seriously doubt I’d be able to get any memories of anything useful to create especially when I struggle to remember what kind of place I was part of.”

Lawful: “You’re still able to talk and you still remember things even after so long.”

Good: “Well… yes?”

Lawful: “Then there is still memories of the past, you’ll just have to look deeper.”

Good: “ummm, ok I’ll try. What exactly do we need?”

Lawful: “... have you ever visited any type of military base or the sorts?”

Good: “Actually I have, when the army still wanted to study my powers, I was sent to a military base in which I was able to see all crazy stuff: Hover Tanks, Biomech weapons, The Destabalizer, the-”

Lawful: “Good good good, see I told you you’d remember, your brain doesn’t rot away like everyone else’s”

Good: “... that’s true! Man I have to remember to when I went to other systems and contemplated the scenery, man I can’t wait to-”

Lawful: “Stop you’re losing focus, first we need some sort of soldier or a bodyguard of sorts… Go back to the military base and try to think of it.”

Good: “Sorry… ok… Ummmmmmm, I do remember some old robots being put up in museums as relics of the past… I think they were some of the best units until some tech was developed which made them obsolete? Would that be good?”

Lawful: “hmmm, yes that is good, considering this world seems hundreds of millenia apart in technology compared to our world it’s a good idea to create that one first, and maybe it’s not bad to have simpler technology to start off.”

Good: “Ok… great… but before that can I test something out, I’m rusty in my creating thing so I hope you don’t mind if I practice.”

Lawful: “... I’ll allow it”

Good: “Thank you!”

(Outside Rojy’s Mind)

Rojy stood up still being inside his domain and moved his hand close together as if he was about to start clapping. Rojy’s hands began to light up and what seemed to be his energy began leaking out as it shined white and brightly, the energy then slowly molded itself into a cube just as no more energy leaked out of Rojy’s hands. The energy that was now a cube slowly began taking form, and a cube had finally been created, a metallic with dark color to be precise.

(Rojy’s Mind)

Lawful: “A Cube?”

Good: “Yes, it’s the first thing I was ever to create properly.”

Lawful: “What’s so special about it? Has it broken before?”

Good: “I never tried to break it, I mostly kept it as a decoration for my home, I even caught an intruder trying to steal it but being unable.”

Lawful: “Ok… and it seems all of a sudden you’re gaining back a lot of memories”

Good: “That… is true… that’s nice no?”

Lawful: “It’s very useful. Now try to create that thing you were thinking about”

Good: “Oh right sorry, I was just carried away, remembering...”

Lawful: “Carry on we don’t want to waste time talking about unnecesary things”

Good: “... ok...”

(Outside Rojy’s Mind)

This time, Rojy moved away from the table in which the cube sat and moved to a more open area in the sad excuse for a library. Once again, Rojy put both his hands forward and energy leaked out again, that same bright and white energy began by forming into a ball, then slowly but surely more energy came out and began expanding to multiple directions, slowly turning the sphere into a torso and then a body. The body could’ve been mistaken for a human at first, but once the energy began taking form on the arms and the rest of the energy finalized, there was no doubt about it that it wasn’t human or a live creature as a matter of fact.

“Is-is this good?” Rojy asked outloud.

“No… that’s incredible”

Rojy walked forward and looked at what he had just created, it was taller than him by a good 4 inches and it seemed extremely durable and well built. “Ok… now how do I activate you?” Rojy wondered he was looking around, when he accidentally touched it and soon the robot in front of him collapsed into the ground, damaging the ground. Rojy quickly picked it back up and left it on one of the chairs. He quickly left his domain and looked through the insides of the robot.

(Rojy’s Mind)

Good: “There might be a problem...”

Lawful: “What?”

Good: “Well, I’ve only seen them from the outside, I’ve never gotten to see the insides.”

Lawful: “So you’re telling me you created the equivalent of a hollow statue?”

Good: “Almost”

Lawful: “Can you create the inner parts?”

Good: “I could try different things? Maybe do trial and error, it’s not the fastest but I don’t see a faster way.”

Lawful: “... Very well, I’ll keep Chaotic distracted only if you work.”

Good: “Ok… besides there isn’t anything else to do, and I’m someone who likes to finish things before doing other things so I guess it-”

Lawful: “You should get working now.”

Good: “Right…”

(Outside Rojy’s Mind)

Thus Rojy entered his domain again as anything he creates must stay inside his domain and may never leave. He moved the heavy body of the Robot into the table with a simple hand gesture, put the cube to float over at the top of the shelves, sat down, and began on his work… This would be time consuming, considering Rojy wasn’t much of an engineer, but he had all the time and space he needed, and with those two, anything could be learnt.

Adon​

Adon had followed close to Nyx and immediately he saw the little guy approach the one seemingly responsible for everyone being here. Adon quickly realizing that Nyx was insulting the man and basically shouting at him, moved to hopefully stop the discussion but was stopped by another man wearing armor somewhat similar to Adon’s but with clear differences. The man talked about what a great honor it would be for himself to be chosen by a Grand Inquisitor. Adon had a much different view of what a Grand Inquisitor looked, normally they were a lot older, had dozens of guards always surrounding them, and had the best technology equipped with them. He then heard Nyx Insulting SIN even more.

Adon darted his view from Nicholas to Nyx and when more were being summoned, his visor picked up the magic and anomalies, causing him to look around everywhere. Without even realizing and being distracted by everything that was going on, Nicholas simply went on his way, acting as if Adon had either just insulted his mother or kicked a dog. Adon wanted to maybe apologize, but he knew from experience that if he tried to apologize and it was taken the wrong way, it could lead to an argument, or even a fight, which Adon was not a fan of. So Adon simply let Nicholas walk away. Though he was able to pick up some of the words Nicholas said and began having questions for himself.

What should I do?... I’m in this new world but what purpose do I really have? I’ve been told to conquer the world, but… I don’t want to conquer… I just want to help others… But how? Last time I acted extremely selfless and it led me to grave… maybe if only I was more aware and I seeked to help people change? Maybe I can start by helping any of these people change if they need? But who?

Adon looked around and soon his eyes looked directly back a Nyx, clearing noticing something wasn’t right, he acted inappropriately and disrespectful, but a gut feeling was telling him that… maybe he could be helped? But whatever the case was, around so many people it’d be harder to even convince Adon to stick around with Nyx… maybe he could wait… I sound like a stalker, but I can’t help people change if I’m not persistent. I’ll wait until he’s travelled away from here.

Adon immediately just sat on the ground on his butt, causing the ground to shake a little and simple stared into the valley, waiting.

Jihn​

Jihn had already walked pretty far from the group, but travelling alone would make him look especially suspicious or vulnerable. So Jihn Whistled, a very loud and high pitched whistle which could be heard almost clearly in the cliff. He normally used the whistle to attract many animals he came across or to cause paranoia to many of his targets, but this one seemed more as a whistle for someone to return.

If Jihn had a pet, a lot of suspicion could be lifted off, especially if the pet gave off the most positive energy, which sometimes reflected off the owner. This wasn’t really the case, but creating a mask for society or anyone to see was never a problem and sometimes having others, reinforces that mask. The other that would reinforce that mask would be Goodest Boi.

Dr. Xander​

I quickly realized that I was in quite the predicament, but that doesn’t bother me. If I had been able to, I would’ve lived as many lives as I pleased in all possible realities, although I suppose I would’ve gotten bored? It doesn’t matter, what does matter is that I could do normal things or extremely limited actions due to being stuck in the third dimension, but that restriction makes it all that special.

More and more arrived to the world and I quickly found the source of all of this, I couldn’t tell what exactly he or it was a part of me wanted to figure out, but I simply decided that it didn’t matter, he brought me here, and I should be thankful for that. Then another idea popped into my head. Had he also fixed my voice or was it still tied to my original form?
.
.
.
I sneakily channeled my eldritch energy to check which parts of my bodies still leaked out some of my original form and surely enough my voice was still not fixed. Shame. But I guess it couldn’t be helped. That didn’t matter though.

I suppose I felt something special when I lifted my head up again and saw everyone’s souls, I couldn’t tell what, but something felt fascinating about them, though I didn’t care to look too much into the souls that had already made up their minds or would flat out refuse any sort of help, so I looked around until I saw what seemed to be a soul divided and even missing some parts. The one with the souls had antlers and looks very human while also not seeming that human at all. I could’ve figured out everything right then and there, but I prefer to let the person explain to me what is going on, it always helps me both learn how to use emotions and it helps my possible patients release some stress or maybe other effects.

I walked near the boy and stretched my hand out for him, hoping he’d accept it. It might seem weird as we’ve never met, but if need be I could simply enter his mind anyway.

I believe I have found my first potential patient.

Obito & Albert​

Ignoring Ain going to help his downed giant Obito walked back up to the main group. He noticed the droid from before and decided to take it upon himself to see what the little guy was like. Walking over to Mulv Obito didn't make a sound, until he crouched down by the small droid. Obito reached a hand out, but instantly moved it back under his cloak.
"I wonder if."

"If you give him the chip, then maybe I can perhaps speak to this droid and possibly have it join us on our parade?"

"Would it be that useful though? Maybe one of those others want it."

"Remember what your friend Tobi said?"

"Every shot not taken is a shot that is missed.... Yes I know."

Obito pulled out a small red chip from his wrist socket prompting it towards the small droid.

"You like to learn what this is? Let me insert it. Oh.. My name is Obito by the way."

Some steam came out of the cylinders and his red glowing orbs beamed down the small droid giving it a full analysis scan. Albert was taking in all of Mulv's features when it came to physique to even height.

Hakai ​

After some time Hakai had finally made it back to the guildmasters' room. Sitting down at the desk he took a deep breath and relaxed. His relaxation did not last long when Bella, Gustas, and unfamiliar figure came through the door. Sitting back up slowly and lazily Hakai watched the new figure sit on the couch near the fireplace.

"Who are you exactly?"

"Me? Oh just a common thief you know? One that's been in the darkest of dark places."

"His name is GolRat."

"He's going to aid us when we set off to Tesirael, that place is heavily guarded and with someone as yourself going alone would get you targeted instantly. Not saying you're not powerful or anything, but that's the exact reason. They will sense you before you even get close to the city."

"I know how to lower my magic power to make it harder to detect me."

"Even better for us, well this is the plan. By time we get there it'll be the right time for Bella and this person to do trade for profit, I'll accompany her. GolRat will go off into the city and find valuables for us and bring it back to our carriage. Our carriage will be three miles away from the city that way they won't be able to detect any of us until me and Bella get to the main entrance. You Hakai can do as you please. I assume you'll have Rojy with you?"

"If he's no longer busy."

Hakai stood up straight looking towards GolRat which made the thief respond into standing up as well out of respect. GolRat could feel exactly what Gustas was talking about, such dark horrifying feeling coming from one person. Was it a dream to sense someone this strong, and he hasn't even engaged combat yet?

"If any of them do decide to attack then I will respond."

"Of course just don't get yourself killed out their okay?"

Hakai nodded and so the group all looked at each other with a sure plan.

"Do not worry for the guild either while you took your walk through the Guild I took time to let everyone aware of the drastic move. So they'll keep watch."

"Have they been training?"

"Of course."

"Once we return we'll start assigning jobs. To grow this pitiful guild."

"Sounds like a good idea, to expand."

Erza ​

Never would Erza think that she'd be transported to this type of place, the wind itself felt like it was fed with mana. Everything here felt like she was connected with mana, and that she would be able to grow at a much more rapid state then she did on her home world, which was being robbed out of its mana by the demons. She truly hated demons, but was one herself so it was quite a hard topic to think about. Turning she noticed all that were summoned alongside her and she smiled at all of them. Waiting for Sin to respond she took it upon herself to leave Vali's side and go to the nearest girl to herself. Walking over to Heaven Erza reached her hand out with a bright smile.

"Greetings, Erza Scarlet."

You also possess ancient weaponry, but weaponry nonetheless. Last time I encountered those with Weaponry I was sent into critical state.

[Snackofthefuture]

-Bella Virgo-

Bella Virgo was extremely happy. She was going on another expedition of sorts! She was alive while Summoned were! She was getting paid for being happy about that! Not that much mind you, but still getting paid. She was in the midst of finishing packing her things and casting a cleanliness enchantment on herself when she heard conversation outside her door. One of the other inquisitors in the buildings most likely. The voices started low but obviously were not friendly, and then started to raise as the two outside the door began to fight. The shouting died down as quickly as it had started and all was quiet again. Bella shuddered as she wondered at the abrupt silence; Things had gotten testy in the order and people were getting quite nervous. The High Council was rearranging the order of things, changing around institutions that had existed for ages into things completely new and different.

She would be journeying with her old friend Detra Coldspire, a high ranking Inquisitor of the Mollug High Council. They were to find Summoned and either eliminate them or recruit them, preferably the former. Bella hoped she wouldn't have to fight any of them honestly, she loved them. She was their biggest fan! She had read up on the summoned of ages past to an extent that impressed most scholars, her magic skills were on par with the greatest in the realm and she was always willing to help things to change. Change! What a beautiful word! If there was anything the Summoned signified, change was it! They changed everything! The Summoned were beings brought to Valucia by a mysterious and enigmatic being named SIN. The reasoning for the summoning was unknown, but many believed it was simply to create chaos and spread discord. Not Bella though, she believed the Summoned were brought to the world in order to inspire the sentients of the land and to put things on the right track. This was why she loved the summoned, they were beings who if allowed to, made things right. The last time the summoned had been brought forth, the world had united against them, and then everything had gone to shit, hordes of ravenous, unthinking demons near taking over the north, strange tools of war appearing all over the continent and dozens upon dozens of great leaders, heroes and nations falling in unnecessary conflict.

Bella was sad to say she doubted things would go much better this time around. But, if she could help for things to improve, help the summoned improve things, then maybe all of her work, her existence wouldn’t be for naught. She finished packing her things and exited the room, noting apprehensively a small bloodstain on the wall, before continuing on her way. She would be meeting Detra at a hidden point near the Inquisition headquarters, secret from all but the highest ranking officers within the order. She arrived quickly, noting several elite guards posted for her protection. Detra arrived within the hour Bella did, wiping blood from her favorite spellsword as she entered the room. Two elite guards of immense stature stood behind her and another two guard the door from the entranced side. The two inquisitors faced each other for a moment, grim and silent as they glanced over each other. Then Detra took a step forward and embraced Bella, hugging her tightly and saying, “Its good to see you old friend…” Bella was almost surprised by the way Detra greeted her, but instead she embraced her friend back, hugging just as tightly. The two of them had been good friends at the Black Academy and it appeared the bond had stayed strong despite their different career goals.

The two got in the battle carriage they had been assigned, nondescript in appearance and lacking any identifying features other than a paint job of the utmost midnight black. The two then set off, in the direction their spies had told of there being summoned. Their first destination was an old fortress where a powerful woman had recently been sighted taking control of a ragtag bandit army with powerful discipline. The rumors weren't necessarily trustworthy, but there wasnt much more to go off of, and their spies had confirmed the old fortress and bandits inhabiting it existed. They would be going there first to interact and hopefully gain the summoned’s aid, then they would go after the summoned that were more openly hostile, as an army of Mollug warriors would be following close behind, dispatched from Boreal and Verruk and their surrounding regions to help the inquisitors. Other inquisitors had also been dispatched from various other areas to assist in the hunting of the Summoned, and now, truly, the Inquisition had brought its might to bear against the summoned.

Goodest Boi​

Goodest Boi whined happily as SIN scratched his tummy and back. The doggo’s tail wagged from side to side as he laid there, proud that he was being a good boi. Stupid Mutt had told him to be a good boy until he got back, and Goodest Boi knew that there were lots of people who needed cuddle time like SIN or even the weird-smelling kitty that he was currently holding. The fluffy dog laid his head on SIN’s lap and sniffed the kitty. He looked very sad, and the doggo could sense that he desperately needed help, similar to Smiley Man, or SIN before cuddle time.

How to help the kitty? Goodest Boi twitched his ears and thought very hard about it. Kitties did not like doggos, though Goodest Boi liked kitties. Maybe he could give him cuddles? Oh! Or share breads! Did kitties like breads? Maybe cheese! Goodest Boi liked cheese!

In the middle of these cheesey thoughts of food, Goodest Boi saw someone dressed in metal. He smelled very nice and also knew how to sit. The doggo borked with joy, glad to see that humans were also smart enough to learn how to sit! Maybe he could play fetch later? Somehow, after looking at him, Goodest Boi no longer sensed a need to help Nyx.

As scattered-brained as always, Goodest Boi’s mind was side-tracked when SIN began giving headpats again. The doggo rolled over, begging for tummy rubs again. He was so happy he almost shone. Actually, he quite literally did. A dull glow extended from the doggo as he was pet, filling those around him with feelings of warmth like hot-chocolate or snuggley blankets in winter.The doggo bounced up on SIN’s lap (definitely disturbing the cat) and placed a paw on each shoulder, nuzzling him in what he knew as a ‘hug’. It was like cuddles and humans did it all the time. Stupid Mutt loved them the most, so he knew SIN would too. He even smelled like those weird smoke-sticks.

Suddenly there came a whistle from afar, making Goodest Boi’s stubby little ears perk up. He tilted his head to the side, beady eyes blinking in the sunlight. He knew who it came from because he sensed that they needed him. Smiley Man! Goodest Boi wagged his tail and borked in the direction of the whistle. He had not forgotten his quest for the missing arm! [actually he did, but it was always there in the back of his mind] He had to find it! Then he would get the breads AND the cheese!

Goodest Boi snuggled up against SIN’s face and then jumped back down onto the ground (also disturbing Nyx again). He shook out his floofy fur, scattering small motes of light in all directions then gave a ‘see you later’ bork to his new friend SIN. Next time he saw him he would be sure to share some breads. Pitter-pattering on small little toe beans, the doggo pranced off in the direction of Jihn. On his way he found a large, arm-ish stick and carried it all the way to the artist.

Heather Kamelotte
Heather seeing Marga bowing to this new found creature made the phoenix roll her eyes. Not even fifteen minutes on this plane and the witch already found something to worship. Or maybe she was just trying to get on its good side? Surely, something like that wouldn't care. Especially, among so many people.

Heather’s thoughts were interrupted when a hand was extended towards her. The hand belonged to a young woman who introduced herself as Erza Scarlet. The name was very fitting considering her dress, hair, and eyes were all crimson red. Heather was about to take the hand when she paused. There was a very familiar smell to the red haired girl.

“You are a demon.” Heather stated. “But not,” Her head cocked to the side in a questioning way. “All demon?”

Heather finally took the hand and shook. “Heather Kamelotte.” After letting go of the hand the phoenix gave Erza a thorough look over.

“This place does not cease to surprise in the brief time I’ve been here. I’ve seen all manner of demon where I come from but never a half breed. How was that managed?” Heather asked, her head jumping from theory to theory. Half possession? A seal? Or maybe she was conceived? It wasn’t too far fetched.

Heather, herself, was a couple of those. A phoenix soul and essence attached to a human at the early stages of development then born from a human mother. The memories of Heather’s childhood was one thing that managed to always stay in the far reaches of her mind while many others were faded. The woman shuddered at the terrible memories and turned her attention back to the crimson haired girl.

Clouds gathered and thunder crackled as lightning flashed over the night skies of Nortestra. It was one location in particular and because of that had gone mostly unnoticed due to other nearby phenomenon. Namely, the sight of new stars appearing in the sky, but this was miles away. There was a battle that night and magic was strong in the air- making it the perfect opportunity for someone or something to break its way into that reality. An opening formed at the center of the storm and from it, a structure fell slowly to the ground. It was constructed of concrete, glass, and steel. When it fully materialized, the entire building still stuck out above the clouds. The sky scraper loomed ominously over the countryside below, its origins a mystery. Then, the clouds parted and a sign glowed from the top of the building. "APOLLO ENTERPRISE©™" It read in bright red, neon letters. In the night sky, it looked almost like a beacon. Next to this building was another slightly smaller structure built almost entirely of concrete. It was the parking lot filled with cars of the building's employees.

These two structures materialized in the middle of a dense forest, but a clearing began to appear, as if the forces of nature themselves bowed to the power of this mighty, man-made monolith. Before long, a path was cleared in the forest and a road connected the parking lot to Nortestra's roads. Zipping from the path was what appeared to be a motor vehicle. Its engine roared like a fearsome beast. The music blaring from its speakers almost sounded like the horns of old, signaling the arrival of a great monarch to a significant event. Underneath all this, was the cackling laughter of a mad man.

---

"GUCCI GANG GUCCI GANG GUCCI GANG GUCCI GANG GUCCI GANG GUCCI GANG GUCCI GANG. SPEND THREE RACKS ON A NEW CHAIN. MY BITCH DO LOVE COCAIN."

Mumble rap echoed loudly through the valley. It was day time and a surprise how any car could go for so long and so far without once stopping for fuel, save for the empty fuel cans sitting in the trunk. Driving down the roads of Nortestra was a Lamborghini Veneno with the Italian flags stripped off its hull. In their place were two stickers with the SUPREME logo strapped onto them. On the driver's side, the Supreme logo was also printed stretching from under the rear view mirror all the way to just before the rear wheels.

Inside, its rider, a man in his early thirties with a fancy black suit and slicked back blonde hair. His eyes, a piercing blue like the ocean, were hidden behind a pair of sunglasses. His left hand was extended, holding the steering wheel in place. Between the index and middle fingers of that hand, he held a thin vape. In one motion, he moved his right arm off the center compartment to take the wheel, freeing up his left arm so that he could take a hit from his joule. The entire front compartment filled with vapor when he exhaled, fogging up the windows for a moment. When the vapor cleared, he had already switched back, taking a swig from a half-finished forty ounce bottle of whiskey which he placed back in the cup holder and corked.

The entire evening to the day time, Apollo had been leaving behind flyers in all the towns and cities across the country.

"Come to APOLLO ENTERPRISE™ for all your killing needs! Guns? Got em. Swords? Got those. Armor? State of the art. Located at a spooky forest near you!" The flyers read.

Once finished with his "mission", Apollo made his way back to the building.

Dr. Xander​

The boy accepted my hand and gave me quite a firm handshake. I could tell that he might’ve been uncomfortable or that I might’ve been uncomfortable, but it didn’t matter very much. I entered his mind and began talking to him telepathically while letting go of his hand as he had pulled back a bit.

“Hello, what is your name. Mine is Samionovitch Xander, or Dr. Xander. I can tell that you are troubled, I am here to help to the best of my abilities.”

Even with my long time as a human I struggled to sound trustworthy at moments, although most of my patients, back in the previous world, were a lot more relaxed about it. It was interesting to say the least, but I was taking a sort of gamble being this direct to someone I didn't know anything about and that I wanted to become my patient. Hopefully he wouldn’t feel too uncomfortable by my presence and my statement. I really just want to help.

Dr. Xander​

He didn't direcly respond to me. I could tell he was mute, but maybe he thought I couldn't read his thoughts? Didn't matter, however by entering his mind I had come accross a few new discoveries. It seemed he didn't have positive expiriences with doctors. I felt the need to clarify myself and answer his question

"Don't worry I am not like the previous doctor's you met and or interacted with Hush, I'm not yet interested in the more physical medicine. I am a therapist to be more exact, one that can read your mind, so this note is not needed, just you thinking is enough for me to hear. As for why I am helping, it is simply my desire to help mortals in the positive sense. I know that you are suffering from many unfortunate events and circumstances, so I am offering my services to you, and I am requesting that you be my patient so that I may help you."

There I was again explaining quite broadly and directly, but I wanted to get my point accross. I took the note he gave me and opened my small journal. People are usually surprised by what the journal really is. I opened it and kept flicking pages faster and faster, reaching inhuman speeds until I reached page 1837283826286432, and placed the note there. I quickly closed my journal and put it away in my pocket waiting for Hush to respond.
