Fantasy The Great Mage Hunt of Delaran (Currently Open)

Deleran- The Snake’s Eye

The Ine man finished his coffee as he noted the mercenary's unmoved stack of coins and chuckled within himself. As the cards were dealt he gently lifted them to see their value then moving his amber eyes back to the mercenary with a focused look. The drunken state of the gambler seemed to be diminishing quickly or he was not as drunk as he appeared as he slowly pick the cards up in consideration of his play. They were decent, the cards, but Bast knew how to work a table against a tight purse. He would tap a ringed finger against the table, gently setting his cards face down "Check." His gaze would shift briefly to the gathering of people and spotting, quite easily, the silver haired swordswoman from earlier. While his face remained blank, something in his eyes would shift, before focusing back on the one eyed mercenary "So, Khogan, what's the shtory with the eye?" He would lean forward a bit over the table "Were it them dark magic wielding mages in the city? No, no. Too recent, too new." He would shake his head, keeping eye contact as patrons began murmuring about the mention of mages. "Betrayal. Aye." He'd slide a coin next to his cards to solidify the confidence in his statement and to bet on his next turn.

"But do tell us, swordshman. The tale o' yer eye and about the attack today. Or maybe the pretty, yet alarmingly scary, lady wit' the shilver hair could add to it." With a nod in Silver's direction hwould casually spin the gold coin the sound almost muffled by the din of the spreading fear laced murmurings of the patrons in regards to the mages. Evidently news hadn't made to the Snake's Eye yet.

Ashitaka - The Snake's Eye

Not a single bet so far? That was new. The gambler hadn't moved an inch. He looked over his shoulder for this "silver haired" person, and took note of the new stranger. It was odd - had he seen her before? Yes... he had caught a glimpse of her whilst being pursued by those mages. She seemed to have fared well, which was a small relief. Nevertheless, outside of that, he never really had an encounter with her, not in words.

"You're not wrong." The mercenary shrugged. He placed a single coin to the side, to start things off. "Bet 1. Anyway, I was betrayed. It was supposed to be an easy job, and it would have been, had this one kid on our team not gotten greedy. He killed one of us, wounded the other two. Considering what happened to my now good friend Alec - poor kid barely made it out alive - I think I got lucky. Had the idiot been just a hair to the left, I would not be standing here to day.

"Yes, Nikita Fomin. He's got a few wanted posters in local areas." He awaited the gambler's decision. "The next time I cross paths with him, I'm gouging out his left eye. Then he can get the full experience of losing half your vision."

Isaac and Elisa

Isaac crossed his arms and thought carefully about Gremble's request. It would be good to know which prisoners were actually mages. Not that they didn't have non-magi prisoners that he wasn't aware of. After all there was always crime abound but if there was any chance that there was any innocents imprisoned for falsely being accused of practising magic he wouldn't accept it. He looked to Elisa expecting an opinion from her. Although she herself already knew what she'd answer. "So long we have a guard on watch we could let them spend the night." Elisa looked to Gildal and Gremble looking visibly puzzled and concerned. "Although I'm surprised you'd let us imprison you like that. What makes you think we wouldn't just keep you behind bars?" Isaac spoke in response to Elisa's question in his usual gruff tone. "Because we have already established that we fight with honour. To break that now would raise some eyebrows towards our name." Isaac fell silent again for a good pause before turning to the mages of Magus. "Alright. But remember you will have to come with us in chains. As far as I'm aware most of our soldiers don't know your faces. So they shouldn't raise a ruckus."

"A fair trade." Gremble muttered as he turned to his leader. "Shall we be going, sir?"

"Yeah, I'd rather sleep in a prison cell then out here anyway." Gildal remarked as he handed Elisa his staff. "I kept your blade in good condition... I trust you can do the same for this antique." His gaze shifted towards the Grandmaster as he awaited the move towards the tower. "A man of honor is only as strong as the code he follows. You are a good man Issac... I hope that next time we cross paths it will be on friendlier terms."

Gremble blinked in surprise as Gildal spoke... But quickly gathered himself. "The soldiers might recognize me from earlier... But with any luck they won't pay too much attention to it."

 

[Jackaboi]

Isaac and Elisa

When Elisa was handed the staff, shee looked at it with curiosity. Wondering just how he got it to change shape. Was it Gildal's magic that done it or was the staff enchanted in some way. Although she didn't dare inspect it any further in case she broke something. Isaac prepared the shackles that he had prepared in the tent. When he brought them he had them for different reasons than this but at least they came in use nonetheless. When he heard Gildal speak of his honour he simply looked away and gruffed. "If we ever cross paths again it will likely come with the clashing of steel. We are far from friends mage." Elisa simply sighed in the background, she knew that would be his exact reply. Isaac swore undying loyalty to the King. He even told the story to the princess himself. How her father saved his life. Not to mention he knew King Reverend, the real Reverend. Elisa closed in on Gremble and quietly spoke a few words. "Don't mind the Grandmaster. He has trouble accepting compliments from his allies let alone his enemies." Isaac clamped the bindings around both Gildal and Gremble, saying a few words to the latter after hearing his concerns. "Technically you escaped imprisonment. The soldiers will just see you being brought back again. You'll be fine. Of course I'll have to actually put the both of you in magic suppression cells. No offence but that stunt you pulled earlier gives me a few trust issues leaving you alone with a room full of captive mages."

Then they marched Gildal and Gremble out of the tent and hit the road towards Colassi. The travel was mostly quiet, granted it didn't help that Isaac would stare anyone down who dared raise their voice but that's besides the point. Upon arrival at the tower he stopped for a moment to say a few words. "We'll be discreet about this. Right now your just captive mages being escorted to prison. Alright?" Immediately Isaac completely went against what he just said about being discreet and kicked the door in. This one was far more reinforced of course so it was only knocked off one of it's hinges. Elisa immediately face palmed and the Grandmaster's blatant show of superior strength. "Soldiers! Repair this door before any mages see a chance to charge in!" All that would be heard was the collective groaning of all the soldiers echoing through the halls. "AND NO COMPLAINING! OR I'LL START BREAKING BONES NEXT!" The soldiers got to work, not even noticing the captives. Elisa was actually pretty surprised. "T-that actually worked..." Ignoring the words of surprise Isaac continued on into the dungeons. Upon arrival Elisa and Isaac released their cuffs. "Alright, fulfil your end of the deal and I will fulfil mine. The magic suppression cells are marked with the crest of Delmar. Use your stone on the prisoners inside."

Vorth Runerock ​

"I ask for thy power, I release you and pardon you releasing thy chains of the divine, I am the bird, you are the owl, and I tear off my wings for you,now come to me!" Vorth chanted in the quiet forest. Then his Blood Bow assembled and he gripped it with his left hand.

Vorth had been was practicing in the forest near his house. He clicked the ring on his right hand and the little dagger came out cutting his palm. He touched on end of the base then the other creating the string. Then he pulled the string back. He winced at the pain of the bow taking blood out of the wound creating the arrow. Vorth steadied his aim and slowed down his breathing. Then he let slowly let the bow go. The arrow shot out with a piercing sound as it shot straight through the tree leaving a big fucking hole. The tree couldn't support itself and began to fall over. Who was in this tree and flew into the air. Who hovered as the tree fell down. It started shrieked at Vorth for waking him up.

"Sorry about that Who. Hey I feel like shit lets get inside." Vorth said with a smile as the bow disappeared. He put out his arm and Who obliged attaching to his arm as if it was a tree branch.

He then walked inside pulled out some rum then sat at his chair. He put his legs onto the table and leaned back. Then he passed out.

Gildal and Gremble remained strangely quiet as they traversed the trail... Not even a casual chuckle from the leader when Issac kicked down the door. Once the shackles were removed, Gildal immediate began stretching while Gremble pulled out the gemstone. "We should just check them all... Not every mage can break out of a cell." The leader remarked. "You can never be too sure."

"Grandmaster Issac!" Gideon exclaimed as he suddenly bursted into the hallway. "There is an urgent matter I need to..." The general paused as he saw the two mages. As Gremble turned to see who was approaching, the gem in his hand glowing blue as it barely faced the old solder.

Gildal's casual expression died when he noticed the blue shine behind him. "Gremble... We should get to work..."

The scout swallowed the knot in his throat and nodded. He looked at Gideon and mouthed the words. "I am sorry."

 

[Jackaboi]

Elisa and Isaac

A familiar voice echoed through the halls calling the Grandmaster's name, Isaac looked to see who it was, only to see it was Gideon coming with what appeared to be some news. However, a bright blue light became visible in the corner of his eye. Elisa and He both turned to look for the source only to see the crystal was reacting to Gideon. At first they were both utterly confused, Isaac fought a mental battle in his head trying to figure out what was going on while Elisa just went silent. Eye's staring towards Gideon's direction feeling betrayed. The more Isaac thought the more tense he grew. His veins starting to become more defined. He grabbed the sword on his back and began to strut towards him with great fervour. Elisa however panicked and rushed in to grab the grandmaster's shoulder. "Grandmaster wait! Surely there must be some mistake!" Isaac simply shoved her off him and continued his march. "DON'T INTERFERE! There's no such thing as mistakes with magic." Elisa had no idea what to do. It was as if knowing that Gideon was a mage made him forget who he was. But she hasn't, all the training they went through... His mentor-ship... she had to do something. "STOP!" Elisa charged ahead of Isaac and stood between the two old friends. "Gideon isn't the enemy! Don't you know everything you two have been through? The loyalty he holds for my Father?" Isaac stopped in his tracks. His anger growing more and more by the second "Are you acting in defence of a mage, princess? I'd advise you to step aside... You're not immune to some laws. Especially not this one."

"Isaac... I-I can explain!" Gideon exclaimed as the Grandmaster approached him. He could not believe how quickly Issac pushed their friendship aside. He could trust Issac... He always was able to trust Issac, right? Tears welled up inside of Gideon as he watched Elisa defend him. "I... I wanted to tell you... I wanted to trust you... But I was too scared of what would happen. After the King passed those laws, I had no idea who I could trust anymore. I wish I had the bravery needed to confess." Gideon fell to his knees in anguish. "I'm sorry..."

Night Two - The King's Speech

As the sun set on the great nation, civil unrest had still refused to calm. After rumours of numerous mage attacks within the city's walls, the people of Delaran grew concerned. Some even terrified for their lives. so in order to address this issue. The King has called for the Gathering of the city so that he may make a speech in person. Wagons rolled out through the streets with it's passengers shouting out the news to the citizens. "The King is about to perform a speech in the royal district! I repeat the King is making a speech in the royal district! Attendance is absolutely mandatory! This applies to ALL the citizens of Delaran!" The voices echoed out through the streets, the city becoming much more lively than it should be at this time. Crowds of people could be seen making their way to the same destination. All going to see what the King wanted to say. Couriers even burst into tavern after tavern relaying the news to it's drunken residents.
(Ready to see the King? Mena Dr.Wankpants )
(Better get busy ya drunks DrRoosterhammer BakaTheIdiot )

Not only this but several flyers started popping up around the city. Or rather job advertisements for mercenaries looking to make an extra coin or two. Although this wouldn't be like any other job they've had in the past. On the flyer was a job to look for missing children. Children that had suddenly been disappearing in recent days. This job was posted all around the city by the city guards, this was a job opened by request of the King himself and mercenaries would be fools to even dare ignore it considering the heavy payment of 100,000 gold pieces inscribed on it with a bonus of 5,000 gold for every child brought back alive. The conditions were to join in the search, do some investigating and narrow down the whereabouts of the children assuming it was all connected somehow and not just some series of random abductions.
Britt-21 BakaTheIdiot (Dis ones for u two after the speech)

Meanwhile tensions only started to grow over at Magus and Colassi tower. the villagers of the mage haven started to become worried for their saviour. Hoping the M.E.U didn't use this talk as a chance to ambush them and kill them. But yet they remained vigilant, waiting on for their leader to come home. Although... Some could've sworn they just saw a snake slithering in a nearby tree. Since when did they stay around cities? Colassi tower was in a dire situation right now as it has just been revealed that Gideon, second in command of the M.E.U has been found out as a user of the magical arts. What will become of him now? We shall soon see...
( Kiyoko Tomoe ShadowHounder I wonder what that snake's all about?)​

Vorth's Pov​

Vorth had a job to do. It was a pretty big one. A speech from The King was happening and he had to put a arrow between his eye. Someone was pretty damn desperate considering he was a dark mage.

Vorth had situated himself a top a building. It was out of sight from guards they would only see him if he stood up. Who had been flying high enough no one could see his symbols blending in as just a normal owl. The payout was pretty high for a political assassination.

That is the only reason he was here.He didn't care about political bullshit as he lived deep in the woods never having to deal with the fucking knights or whatever. Vorth just wanted the paycheck nothing personal.

Silver Stone

Silver had enjoyed her time spectating the game between two men, one that had been drunk while the other had been pretty sober. On top of that, the sober one was the person she knew from the attack. But she didnt stick around long enough to get to know him or even pick up on his name. However, when night came, she Mercenary was already on the streets, just taking a stroll for the time being, but wagons started to go through the city, telling everyone about a mandatory summoning by the King who would make a speech. I feel like things are about to get much worse around here. Silver thought to herself before making her way to the Royal district, weapon mounted upon her back. Hopefully no guards would take away her one weapon which could protect everyone. Granted, she had magical properties in her blood but no one would know that...Not yet anyway...

Upon arriving, she stood with the crowd, her arms crossed and looking quite tensed up. Anything could happen in the middle of this crowd. Someone could be stabbed, trampled, or even a big event like the king being killed or a explosion going off. Not feeling particularly safe, she got out of the crowd, finding herself a higher place like a rooftop of a building. Being in the royal district, the houses were definitely a little bigger and easier to climb. Her hair gently blew in the wind, while her eyes were fixated on the King. While this went on, she noticed guards running about a putting papers around nearby. Definitely would have to check that out later on.

(Sorry for the short post ;-; )​

Honey

Honey's days at the bakery weren't very time consuming, the minutes that ticked down felt like hours each time. So when the decree that the citizens had to attend some grand event from the king, she practically jumped out of the bakery. The young girl took her time to change from her work attire to something more comfortable, making sure to carry her notes around in case someone would want to communicate with her. Despite being afraid of the M.E.U and drawing attention to herself, it was also a nice change of pace from the slow events of the evening. Although this was not to say that she was confused as to why the King, out of all people in the political side, wanted to organize a speech for the public.

This couldn't possibly be because of mages... right? She was scared of the fact that someone could've told the guards about her, wanting to make an example out of her. The feeling in her heart slowly subsided as she neared the crowd, blending in shouldn't be an issue. Suddenly someone spoke behind her, grabbing her shoulder and spinning her around. "Princess, there you are! You forgot your coat silly goose! Where have you been, your father is waiting for you." The man looked rather old, in his late 30s, with a long brown beard and hazel nut eyes. She didn't know this man nor this 'father' that he spoke of so highly. A case of mistaken identity? She presumed as such, shaking her head as she began to walk around him.

"Come on now, don't make your father wait any longer. He wants you right next to him when the king makes his speech." A sleaze ball grabbed her wrist and roughly pulled her through the crowd. This man was one of the larger organizations that worked underground, taking young children into the underworld and selling them as slaves. It just so happened this time that the person her targeted was Honey, as she was the first child he set his eyes on. Honey tried pulling away from the man's grip but his grip on her hand was like iron, it was too strong for her to move. When this failed she tried to get another person to help by yanking on their coat, making the knight beside them to walk in their direction.

When confronted by the knight, the sleaze ball calmly addressed the situation. "I'm truly sorry about the commotion from the young miss. You see her mother just passed away and she's been a little rebellious lately, that's why I'm bringing her to her father as punishment. Isn't that right Lady Claudine?" While talking with the knight the man's shoe stepped on Honey's petite feet, causing her eyes to feel with water from the pain she was under. Whoever this man was, had superb acting skills as he even fooled the knight he was talking to. Honey just hoped that someone would come to save her from this man.

Silver Stone

After turning her attention away from the guards putting pages around the streets, she heard someone call out to a princess and that had definitely peaked her interest. Mainly because someone with a title such as "princess" usually isnt in crowds like this... They'd be inside and have a messenger outside instead... Narrowing her chocolate-brown eyes, she ignored the king and turned towards the male who called out to the princess and happened to grab her at that exact moment. No one in their right mind would grasp a princess like that. Nor would they drag her like a ragdoll. the Mercenary thought to herself as she noticed the girl trying to struggle out of his grasp. There was something wrong here and she was going to get to the bottom of it. Sliding down the roof of the building, she grasped the edge and climbed down safely but quickly before running after the pair. As she pushed through the people, she came up on the pair who was now with a guard, which caused Silver to move to the side quickly and get a bit of a vantage point.

Once in position, she watched the man stub his foot into the young girl's smaller one, which definitely caused a pained reaction from her. This is too fishy. No one would treat a princess like this unless... her eyes widen and then suddenly narrowed once more. As soon as the Man finished talking with the knight, she watched him walk away, being agressive with the young girl. Time for this man to get a taste of his own medicine. Silver followed him and once away from the crowd and guards, she made her move.

Jumping down from a short building, she landed next to the man, only to sock him straight in the face with her covered fist and sent him stumbling and luckily he released the young girl. With this, Silver grabbed her and forced her behind her "Now I dont think this is how you treat a princess, Sir." the Mercenary's face had anger written all over it "I think you need to learn some manners." cracking her fists and rolling her shoulders, she moved towards him and grabbed him before slamming him into a wall "Now I'm sure you wont be telling me what you're doing with this young girl, him?" of course, the man wasnt letting up as he gave her a look of 'I'm going to kill you' so she pulled away and she slammed her fist into his face again, leaving him stubling and glaring at her. Let's see what this amature has up his sleeve.

"I'm going to make you regret prolonging my mission." he said in a gruff tone and pulling out a pocket knife.

This only had Silver raise an eyebrow "You really think that your little blade would scare me? Think again." she prepared to fight with her hands, no need for her blade yet. Watching as he came charging at her, he began to swing his blade everywhere, using it as nothing but a distraction that Silver easily dodged and slammed her foot into his stomach, knocking him back. This is what she had to face, a male who had little to no skill. The Mercenary moved closer to him in a fast pace, only for him to swing his blade and cause her to pause and lean back to avoid the blade, but she happened to be a bit late and got knicked on her cheek. Gritting her teeth, she grabbed the wrist with the blade and pulled him close, slamming her head into his and causing him to stumble and fall over. Though Silver looked unfazed by the action. Blood slowly leaked from her wound but she didnt pay any mind to it.

The man was clearly scrambling to get to his feet and eventually did, charging at her once again, only for Silver to grab him and send a punch towards his face again, followed by a punch to the stomach and a roundhouse kick into a building. Luckily he dropped the blade and she kicked it far away to prevent him from using it again I dont mind showing this man who's the boss here... she thought as she walked up to him, glaring down at him as he laid there beaten and clearly out of breath.

Suddenly he grabbed her leg and yanked it, knocking her over and quickly getting on top of her with another blade in his hand, trying to give her a swift stab to the neck but Silver grabbed his hand, using her strength to hold the blade up. Between the two's strength, that blade was being held shakily between them. "I'm not going to get beaten up by a woman! You should be doing the laundry, doing what men say!" the man yelled before she got a spark of anger and kneed him in the balls and shoving him off to the side and grabbing his arm, moving into a position that broke his arm, causing him to yell in pain and Silver got out of the way as he laid on the ground once again, holding his now broken arm. The mercenary hadent realized that she managed to bring him closer to the young girl and with whatever strength he had left, he grabbed her with his good arm and got up, running with the girl at tow.

Silver growled under her breath and chased after them "How could I be so stupid to let him grab her like that." she was going to make sure she disposed of him now. Instead of fleeing, he decided to stick around with a Mercenary on his tail. He wasnt going to get far. As they ran, the male ran into a familiar house, and this prompted Silver to stop, taking a good look Well lets hope she isnt home... with that, she ran inside as well.

"Damn bitch..." The man muttered as he stumbled into the building with the girl still in tow. "Hehehe... They say this house is haunted, kid. There's no way she'll look for you here." He moved into the house while dragging the child with him... Looking around at the ominous webbing that surrounded them.

"A visitor?" A voice echoed through the broken walls. "I don't think I've had one of those in quite a while."

A tall woman with flowing black hair stepped down the stairs to the right of the duo. Without a second of hesitation, the thug begain his bluff. "We were attacked by a mage! She came out of nowhere... I thought I was going to die! Please you have to help us!"

The woman's face turned stern and cold. "What is a liar like you doing with an innocent girl?"

The man's face transformed from faked fear to true terror in an instant. "H-h-h-how did y-y-y-you..."

Suddenly, the man felt pressure on his still usable arm. "Little fool... I am Lilia, Priestess of the Web. I know a lie when I see one." Before long, his arm turned into a splatter of red... Flesh and blood scattering on the surrounding walls as he screamed in agony. "The Mistress is going to enjoy tearing every secret you hide from that pathetic mind of yours." Lilia remarked with a devilish grin... The man now dangling from the air by threads wrapped around his body. The priestess walked up to the girl she had just free. "Are you okay? This mean wittle man didn't hurt you did he?"

Ashitaka - The Snake's Eye

A short game turned into several, and soon Ashitaka's wallet had felt unchanged, for the most part. He won some, he lost some, it made no difference. Still, when a guard came in waving around the news that there was to be a gathering at the square, begrudgingly, Ashitaka gathered up his gold and made for the door... but not before something caught his eye.

On the bulletin next to the door, there was an offering. A good one. 100,000 pieces. You'd have to be a fool to pass that up. When he sifted through the details, his look of excitement slowly dipped away into one of mild distaste and concern. Kids were disappearing all over the place. Now, Ashitaka hated children, but having lost his father at a rather young age, disappearances were a different story, even with kids. He snatched the paper off of the board, and disappeared into the crowds of drunkards heading to the plaza.

Honey

Honey thought that he was going to completely charm his way through the crowd, like he did with the knight; luckily this was not the case. She saw out the corner of her eye that someone had begun to follow the direction that they were headed, a few yards back not to make it suspicious. As soon as they left the view of the knights and crowd, that was when the person tailing them acted. She watched as the man was pulled off of her by a young female, who appeared to be very strong for her age. Being hidden behind the older female's back was a blessing, this meant she had a strong backer to defend her from the sleazy man that tried to take her.

Honey watched the two fight against one another, she knew it was nothing she could do to help the woman. She wasn't trained to wield any weapon and she doubt she could, she would just be in the way if she tried to help her. The woman even went as far as to break the man's arm, she unconsciously winced when she heard the bone snapping. The young girl was thankful that someone intervened, though this happiness was short lived as she was dragged away from her savior by the same guy. Together they traveled father and farther away from the woman, though Honey could only watch as she was dragged away from her, only to end up in an unknown part of town.

They ended up in a strange home; even the sleazy man was saying that it was haunted or something. Glancing around the room, Honey didn't even come up with the decision of believing anything that came out from a sleaze ball. Ghosts didn't really scare her that much, besides it was obvious someone lived here due to the decor of the room. Hearing a rich, smooth feminine voice bounce off the walls only proved her theory, someone indeed did live here. Once her eyes landed on the woman's body, Honey was too lost in her thoughts at the woman's appearance that she failed to listen in on their conversation. At a alarming speed something happened that caused the mage to snap, exploding the man's other arm. A mage? She thought as she looked at her blood spotted clothes, along with the remains of his arm on the floor.

Honey disliked the blood covering her new outfit, but she didn't let out even a single protest. She didn't know whether or not the woman would attack her next, seeing as she was also standing in her home uninvited. Upon hearing the woman's question, the young girl felt around for her bag but alas she couldn't find it; leaving her to fend for herself when translating. Rubbing her sore wrist while wincing in slight pain, she glanced up to the woman in hopes that she could understand her. 'N-No... thank you for saving me from this guy.'

Elisa and Isaac

Isaac heard the poor man begging for his forgiveness. Every word he said only served to fuel Isaac's anger within. Elisa and Gideon might not know it but he was really fighting a mental battle in his head. Gideon was his friend and ally for as long as he could remember, not to mention they've had each others backs for so long. Yet he was bound to his duty, he had to wipe destroy every last source of magic. It was too dangerous, too easily corrupted, in the grand scheme of things a mage held the potential to raze entire nations to the ground given the right power and time to hone their abilities. "Gideon... You are far too dangerous to be allowed to walk free... You lied to us, you kept your abilities a secret. You were probably smart to do so too. But you have been found out. I'm sorry old friend." Isaac sheathed his sword and looked Gideon dead in the eyes then to Elisa. "Lock him up in one of the enchanted cells." "But... Sir..." "Now." Elisa simply nodded in response, following her Grandmasters orders refusing to make eye contact with her mentor. "I'm sorry..." Isaac looked to Gideon again, his stare much more fierce. "Try anything and I won't hesitate to put you to the sword. Prove your loyalty to the king and move into your cell."

Gideon, trembling in fear and shame, stood and followed Elisa to his new home. "I hope that... One day, our beloved king can look past his briefing and find it in his heart to end this crusade. I have failed to reason to reason with your father, Elisa... You may be our only hope at peace. You and the man known as 'savior' by his people." Said muttered to his pupil. "Do what you think is right... No matter the consequences and one day... You will make a great Queen."

The moment was broken by the sound of a something getting slammed into a wall, followed by Gildal's voice. "You think you have the right to call yourself a human after what you have done?! Slaughtering innocent lives! Tormenting civilizations! Sacrificing your own dignity for corrupted power! A man like you doesn't deserve to live!" The yelling was quickly replaced with the sounds of flames and screams of agony.

 

[Britt-21]

Silver Stone

Silver ran into the building, without a plan other than to kill the guy who dared to take that young girl with him. After running through a hallway, she came up on a larger room with webs all over, followed by the woman she had seen earlier that day and the girl that she attempted to save. From the looks of it, the Woman wasnt going to hurt the girl, though looked rather concerned. Her brown eyes looked over the speckles of blood, only to soon find the body of the man being dangled from the celing and quite alive at the very least. This woman is mad... Obviously a mage of some sort...No human can make webs just like these. she thought before looking at the pair in front of her "Sorry to barge inside your home like this. But this man," she pointed upward "Was kidnapping this young girl. I wasnt going to let him get away and clearly, nor were you." she approached the pair and leaned down a bit to take a look at the young girl, making sure she was okay aside from the blood splatters "You're safe now." with that said, she gently placed her hand on top of her head. All the while her own wound on her cheek was still bleeding.

At this very moment, Silver was quite on edge with this woman, she didnt seem like a dark mage but with her attire and the house that was filled with...well...webs like a spider... It seemed that it was a possibility that she was.

Lilia looked at the young girl in confusion. After a moment, she giggles lightly and patted her on the head. "If I had known you were mute... I would've brought some parchment for you."

Lilia turned her head to see the mercenary enter the room. "I am quite aware of this man's intentions. He tried to tell me that he was attacked by a mage... Little did he know that I could see through his lies. You are free to take the girl back to her home. I am personally going to have some fun~" Lilia licked her lips lustfully as she looked at the entrapped man. "I can't wait to see what kind of secrets hide inside that miserable soul of yours... No doubt you won't be strong enough to survive."

Honey

'Thank you for saving me again miss!' Honey bowed as showing a sign of respect towards the older woman. The girl's cheeks glowed a soft shade of pink when the strange woman began to pat her head; it was a little confusing to her. Head patting was a weakness of hers, she always enjoyed when someone would praise her for something. Hearing another voice coming from the hallway, Honey turned to see whoever followed them into the house. She wasn't surprised that it was the same mercenary lady from earlier, taking the time to explain what happened when she could not. During this time Honey took a glance up to the tied man on the ceiling; their eyes locked and she shuddered.

She unconsciously moved more closer to the mercenary to hide from the male's gaze, it was nerve-wrecking to be even in the same room with him. What the homeowner had to say about punishing the sleazy ball, made her somewhat conflicted in her heart. She knows that he most definitely deserved it but that didn't mean she wasn't frightened about what kind of punishment the mage would dish out onto him. What kind of fun would she possibly have from torturing him? She didn't even want to know. This was short-lived as the young woman even came to give her a pat, this distracted her as Honey beamed from the attention she was given.

It was then that she noticed the young lady had a small cut on her face, Honey brought her hand over the small space that happened when she bent down to pat her. Using the littlest amount of magic she healed the cut, her hand quickly leaving as if nothing was there in the first place. The young girl just hoped that the mercenary hadn't noticed her actions, she could probably pass it off as being a child and being childish.

Silver Stone

This woman had confirmed that she was mad. Torture was the way she was going to go with this man and in a way, she pitied him. But in another, she could care less. He was going to pay for his actions one way or another. "If he releases any important info, feel free to let me know." Silver informed Lilia "I'd like to know what I could do if he's working for others of higher power." with that said, she looked down at Honey, not even noticing that her wound had been healed. After all, she only received a soft touch from the young girl and nothing more than that. Regardless, Silver wouldnt tell. She was magical herself so there was no point to turn mages in. Unless they were evil of course. "Let's get you out of here, I'm sure you've seen enough for one night." placing her hand on the young girl's shoulder, she turned her around, heading back where she had come from "Thanks, Miss." she said in reply to Lilia, walking towards the front door and outside into the dimmed light. After all, the house wasnt on the main street.

Silv looked at the girl and stopped walking "Stay here." she said before walking behind her and suddenly lifting her up onto her shoulders. Surely Honey would have probably squealed due to randomly being picked up, but now she had a vantage point of seeing everything. Silver wasnt the tallest person but she wasnt super short either. The Merc placed her hands on Honey's lower legs just so she wouldnt fall off her shoulders and began to walk "I would have carried you on my back but I have my blade there and I wouldnt want to risk you getting hurt."

"May the Mistress guide you to your truth..." Lilia stated with a bow. "I don't like leaving my house much... So you should stop by tomorrow morning. I should be finished with the ritual by then."

She watched as the mercenary took the child outside of her home. Her gaze moved up to the struggling man, a deviant smile touching her soft lips. "I'll go prepare the room for you... Make sure everything is nice and comforting for you~"

Honey

Honey tilted her head a bit in confusion when hearing the woman speak about a 'mistress', she wasn't too familiar with the word. A feeling deep within her suggested that the word wasn't being used as it was intended. Luckily the two adults seemed to have come to an agreement about the sleaze ball hanging on the ceiling, she was happy to finally be able to leave the house. Not that it spooked her or anything, it just gave off a eerie, old vibe. Honey felt a hand on her shoulder as she was guiding away from the spider woman, she was lead out of the house and into the street by the mercenary. Though when the young girl looked around, she surprised to see just how dark the surrounding area was compared to the brightness of the main streets.

In the dim light outside of the house Honey could see the outline of her missing bag, she quickly pulled away from the mercenary to go get it. After picking the bag up and dusting it free from dirt, she fastened it around her shoulders then merrily skipped back to the standing woman. Opening up her bag and pulling out her notebook, she failed to notice that the mercenary was behind her. With one full motion she was surprised to find herself on the shoulders of the woman, her face clearly displaying confusion as she looked down at the woman. Honey managed to finish what she was writing, although it was a little messy from her sudden hand movements.

'Shouldn't we be getting back to the plaza? The knights don't take kindly to deserters, especially if the king is speaking.' After finishing writing her statement, she showed it down at the mercenary. The young girl just hoped that they wouldn't be running into any knights along the way, it would be difficult to explain why they weren't at the plaza.
