It was a beautiful spring day, cool and breezy. On this marvelous day, Mikael was heading towards a mountain in the Forsake Region. It seems that the Archaeologists found out a very old sword stuck into the stone. As such, they contacted the Magic Knights to come and help them move the sword to the Capital for further study.Of course Mikael is no Magic Knight, but news travel fast, and the Nobles always hear about these kinds of news. Of course a lot of Nobles became interested. What kind of Sword would it be? Is it magical? What kind of powers does it have? Was owed by a noble, maybe even a former wizard king? A lot of questions were asked. And of course, Mikael heard about this sword from his Noble entourage. He would be lying if he said that he was not interested. The thing is, that history is one of the man's passions, and these news really blazed his curiosity. So as any nobleman, he used his status to learn where it is and go inspect the sword himself, given the huge amount of interest he has for it.
Said and done. Mikael left the Royal Capital and after some time he finally reached the Forsaken Region. He started climbing the mountain, there through a small mountain path. The trip was quiet and uneventful, but the view and background was truly something to behold. Mikael admired as the gentle sun rays fell down on the mountain crests, eagles soaring above, and looking down at the base of the mountain, the view was simply breathtaking. The villages are spread around on a vast land, everything seeming so little and insignificant, but beautiful at the same time. After admiring the landscape for a bit of time, he continued his trip, until he finally reached the appointed place. There, a lot of people, which Mikael considered to be archaeologists were. He looks around, there were 2 people who used brushes on the sword trying to clean the dust, another one standing behind them giving directions and examining the sword. Another group of 2 people were on the side discussing with something that seemed like notes in their hands.
Mikael was tall and slim, in the prime of his youth, with medium white hair of flawless purity, red ruby eyes that could pierce through any darkness, a light beige, but spotless skin, and a face of a fallen angel. He was quite fancily dressed into a white shirt, with a white tie over his neck. That shirt is being covered with a light grey vest, which has a low cut V neck. Simple light grey pants and black gloves. As for footwear, he was wearing black boots that went over the pants up to half of his calves. And over all that, he was wearing a blue with purple tints coat that had golden trims and details. Unlike the vest, the coat was open and was kept together by a golden chain at the chest region. On his left hip there was a black leather square bag which was sustained by his belt, under the blue coat, which was holding his grimoire.
One of the two discussing people turn their head towards Mikael as he notices him. He goes uo to the man and asks "Hello there. You don't seem like a magic knight. We have requested the Magic Knights to assist us. Who are you and why are you here?". Of course they would ask this. After all, this could be a very important relic, so outsiders have no room here. But luckily, Mikael already thought about this, an he answered: "Oh, don't worry. The Magic Knights will come here to assist you. I represent the noble's interests, and I have come personally to oversee this action. Mikael Blake, at your service". As he finished his answer, Mikael bows respectfully while presenting himself. Of course the archaeologist was taken aback by all this, especially since no one notified them. However, they also resigned themselves to the Idea. As such, Mikael starts to communicate with them and of course ask a lot about this relic and what they have found out until now.

The day was beautiful, with the sun shining and the birds happily chirping. Jordan had just awakened when he heard a very familiar beeping noise. The noise was from a magic device that Jordan had invented with the help of his mother, it was called a Mana Comm Link or MCL for short. The device used magic in order to communicate over long distances but the family had not perfected the device for mass production yet so there were still some bugs and glitches. The device rang repeatedly for about 3 minutes until Jordan would finally get up to answer it. When he finally did he would hear the voice of his mother yelling at him saying "WAKE UP JORDAN!!! I need you for something important my son but only you can do it." Jordan's eyes opened wide as he peeked with interest saying to his mom "What exactly is this job that only I can do?"
His mother would then explain the situation involving the sword and how a magic knight was needed to help reclaim it and bring it back to safety. However Jordan was supposed to do something a little different. His mom wanted him to bring the sword to her first so that she and the rest of his family could use their research lab to run their own test and see what makes the sword so special. Jordan rubbed his chin as he laid in the bed thinking about what his mom just told him. "Mom I dont really like the idea or sound of this... wont I get in trouble if I disobey orders? We are authorized researchers but the Magic Knights seem to really want this sword." Jordan's mom could be heard sighing thru the communication device before saying "GROW SOME BALLS AND BRING ME THE SWORD JORDAN!!!!!" She would calm down a bit before speaking again to say "We will take the sword back when we finish running test with our resources the sword will only be missing for a few hours thats plenty of time to run test.
Then boom just like that about a hour later Jordan found himself walking up the mountain towards the location of the sword and the team of scientist who found it. Once he arrived at the location he would see the sword being wiped off by the scientist and as he would look about the area he saw one person who stood out greatly. It was a young male with hair almost as white as snow and blazing red eyes. The young male was dressed rather nicely to be a scientist, something Jordan would definitely know seeing as he too was a scientist and never wore such fine garments. Jordan would begin to approach the man and a scientist he was speaking to at the end of their conversation, getting there at just the right time so he could hear what was said.
"Oh, don't worry. The Magic Knights will come here to assist you. I represent the noble's interests, and I have come personally to oversee this action. Mikael Blake, at your service". the male said. As Jordan walked up he looked to the male known as Mikael and said "That wont be necessary Mr. Blake, as I Jordan Stark Alexius represent not only the likes of the nobles but also the magic knights and the many researchers within Babel the research city. I can take the sword back with me, no need for you to get your noble hands dirty right?"

While Mikael was discussing with the archaeologists, a new person appeared. It was a young blonde boy with a magic knight cape. On closer inspections, he seemed to be a member of the Silver Eagles. *Ooh, a silver eagle? He must be another high ranking noble.* thought the man. The boy introduced as Jordan Stark Alexius. He seemed quick to take over the responsibility and take care of the escorting alone, trying to shove Mikael out and send him back. The way he acted was a bit suspicious indeed, but after all, this is a Magic Knight affair, so they might just not want civilians interfering, be them nobles too. But then, something happened. The boy named Jordan claimed to represent Babel, the research city. Was it a slip of tongue? That is when it hit him. He has ties to the Babel researchers, and from his knowledge, they can be a bit fanatical when new artifacts appear.
"Ooh? I see. So you have been sent by Babel. I am sorry to inform you, but this artifact should reach the Royal Capital, not Babel. Given how you so honestly and outright revealed your intention to take this artifact to Babel, I can't just leave. I should oversee your performance in this mission, and make sure it reaches the Royal Capital. I am sure that the Magic Knights would love my feedback on the matter." said Mikael with a grin on his face. He was still a member of the High Ranking Nobility, of the Blake family. He is aware that Magic Knights have also their own interests and sometimes that conflicts with the Kingdom and it's missions. This is the first time Mikael is in such a situation and he is quite excited to see how all this would play out.
Looking at the boy, Mikael continues to talk: "Well, don't worry. If babel wants to research this artifact, they should do so through official channels and requests. It might take a while though. " Right now, Mikael's entire focus is on the boy. He is trying to analyze every gesture and movement the magic knight does in a try to read the boy's mind. After all, he did study psychology and is fascinated by the human mind and it's capacities. The way the Magic Knight responds to Mikael's inquiries, would decide how this entire business will play out. The Blake Wizard already thought of a few possible conclusions, one which ends amicably, a few which end in conflict, and even options in which they end in a compromise. The future is spreading out in front of Mikael, in dozens of possibilities. A slight grin appears of his face as he observes and wonders on which path the situation will go.

The man who was already at the site trying to get the sword was seemingly not going to give up on him taking the sword, as he quickly interjected in an attempt to stop Jordan himself from taking it with him. Although Jordan was the person who was meant to take the sword, he was taking it off the originally planned path. Knowing this he didnt want to make a scene or make the situation too big and so he decided that he would try his best to peacefully sway the man.
"No offense to you sir, but where the artifact goes should be no concern of a civilian. Noble or otherwise. I can assure you though the artifact will make it to its destination. I was specially recruited by the magic knights due to my background in magical research and engineering, so a matter like this is right up my alley."
Right after Jordan stopped speaking the head researcher who him and the other man were talking to would speak and say "Well I can see your point Sir Alexius. However maybe having this kind nobleman help with the delivery would be a good thing.... However the choice is still yours seeing as this is your job." Jordan would let out a sigh before saying simply "Fine."
The man would smile before wrapping up the weapon and having it prepared for transport. While the man was doing that Jordan would look directly at the man who would be accompanying him and said " Listen, the sword will make its way to the capital but it must first make it to Babel to be properly researched and have test ran on it. It should take only a few hours to do that and then after only a short hour or two to get to the captial from there. Its only about 11 a.m. now so we should definitely finish before the end of the day."
Jordan would wait for the man to say what he had to say or make any comments he saw fit, however the end result would still be the same. From what his mother told him this sword was very powerful and even if they could not keep it for long term use or research just a few hours could provide them with the tools they need to make a weapon of equal or comparable power. If any of those words were true than getting this weapon to their research lab was Jordan's top priority.

After Jordan had made his claim the man would simply do nothing but look. This gave Jordan the impression that the man had conceded in this "battle" and would allow Jordan to carry on with his work. Jordan would take the wrapped and travel ready sword from the scientist who he and the other gentleman had been speaking with. With the sword in hand he would look to the man and say "Thank you sir. I will make sure this gets exactly where it needs to go." The man would simply smile and wave as after that Jordan would begin to walk away.
As Jordan made his way back down the way he came, he thought to himself for a bit. He wondered why that man had try to give him such a hard time. More importantly who even was the man? He couldnt have just been some random noble, the fact that he even knew that the sword was here and was being moved today is wild within itself. Jordan however shrugged off the thoughts as he kept walking. After all Jordan was pretty happy that he backed off, if not for that getting the sword to Babel would have been hard.
After a long hike through various areas he would reach Babel, which was his first stop. Here his mother and the rest of the research label quickly researched the sword by running various test and scans. It normally could have taken days to run this any test and get accurate readings but with the whole lab working non stop it only took a few hours. From there Jordan would take the sword to its original destination of the capital. However by the time he arrived it was night time and seemed as if the city was still very busy. He made his way to the muesum where the sword was to be held, and met with the head of security. Jordan handed off the sword with haste and said "Make sure you keep it safe you dont want just anyone getting that... might be worth something valuable I dont know." He would say as he shrugged and walked off. A job well done for the newest silver eagle, he was eager to see what awaited him next.
