A little while ago, Griswold had pitched his idea for a new group, or rather a new organization that would be working as a united front for the betterment and stabilization of the largest and poorest of the three regions within the land of Clover. To that end, he had gone about sending out various letters, as well as calling in a bunch of favors from people he had gotten to know over the past two years, all for the sake of getting the word out. Getting the word out both for the sake of drawing in additional people that might be open to the idea of an organization outside of the church or the magic knights and become a functional part of it, as well as letting the people that heard it know that there was about to be a new group aiming to establish a more powerful version of the region.
While he wouldn’t go about calling the place neglected, as that would be entirely unfair to the black bulls and green mantis squads that had been working as hard as they could, Griswold merely believed it to not be enough to cover the whole of the land. And so, now would be as good a time as any to sound the horn and call upon all willing participants for something that would last for more than a few days or a few weeks, as was often the case with a lot of relief centered groups. No, this was something that was meant to stand the test of time, to strengthen the entire country with the aid of its citizens, the magic knights and the church while being wholly unaffiliated with the latter two.
Rather than choosing a closed location or going to the place he had slowly been preparing to act as its base of operations, Griswold had decided that the best place to start this whole thing would be somewhere else entirely. It was why he had decided upon Sivert lake, a place that always had a rather serene feel to it and was in no way imposing, let alone giving off an air of hostility. Not planning on hosting anything big or providing anything like the nobles might, things such as festivals or parades or anything along those lines, he had instead gone out and hunted down a few wild animals within the area. Exactly one wild boar and two deer, all of which he had skinned and gutted before putting the edible portions of the animal on pikes that could be hung over an open fire.
With a roast being his favorite kind of meat, he could have gone out to scavenge more and bring edible mushrooms, nuts, berries and fruits, he imagined this would have to suffice as he had no idea how many people would even be coming. One thing he did know however was that starting a roast late meant people would only get to enjoy the scent, but wouldn’t be able to actually have a taste in a few more hours. And it was for that same reason that he had arrived early, using his air magic to create a fire pit, as well as several rows of trenches around it that could be used as makeshift seats. While such a thing would certainly get clothes dirty, the black knight did not expect anyone to come here in their finest garments. This wasn’t a trip to a castle or a mansion after all, which he hoped was something he had expressed enough in his letter.
Speaking of people showing up, there were at the very least two people he had expected would show up, those being Victoria and Magnus, given how they have had the most in depth conversation about it, and were also more or less the only people he had ever really brought it up to. But now that the ball was rolling, given the amount of people he had gotten to know during his period as a magic knight, putting up three whole animals to roast was still overkill, though he hoped it would not be so by much. At the end of the day though, he’d make sure none of it would go to waste, as that was not how he’d been raised.

[attr="class","tamaflowersscroll"] Hinota was remembering steadily day by day who she once was, it had felt like an uphill struggle a lot of the time but thanks to Agneya and Valo being at her side it had made the whole ordeal a bit easier. She was still shaky about things because there was still a lot of conflict between what she had been told and the little she could remember but she was sure in time this would fade and she would come out the other end stronger. While this had been going on the pair had, had issues with their magics, neither of them could read their grimoires properly which was causing all sorts of issues but that had slowly been getting better or at least she hoped it was but she could only speak for herself. It was a very sensitive subject for them both so she had no idea how to approach if he was feeling any better but she could usually tell via Agneya. [break][break] Even though they had been isolated more or less since they had once again met each other news had reached them that an acquaintance was putting a group together to help those who needed the help most. She strongly believed if anyone required aid then they should be given it, but, she remembered the farmer before the trio had ended up in that awful pocket dimension inside the plant grand manazone. He seemed so thankful that magic knights had turned up to help but not only that, ones of renown. She had to wonder if this was typical for those who more often than not had to work from sun up to sundown. She remembered the elderly couple that had taken her in when she had run away from the Jaegar estate after the massacre. [break][break] They owned a run-down farm and had very little to their name but they opened their doors to her and treated her like a granddaughter, she was so very thankful that when they got sick and had no funds to pay for the medicine she had left to find somewhere that she could sell the jewellery she had for a good price to get them the aid they needed. She managed to find work for a brief time as she travelled and it had helped pay for medicine but she knew she'd have to get more eventually. It was that day she had ended up at the ice castle and met Valo after they had left the place he had left her at the farm and went to talk to his captain. Thanks to him her grandparents would have what they needed which she was truly thankful for. [break][break] "Valo..." she said as she looked at him, she knew he wanted to keep her safe until her memory had fully returned but she had slowly realized it wasn't realistic as they had duties they needed to attend to even if it wasn't as magic knights currently. "Griswold is putting an organisation together... perhaps..." she paused for a moment "Perhaps we could go and hear him out about it, so longs it doesn't interfere with our recoveries and our duties as knights we could help him in his endeavour?" she suggested. The floral mage honestly didn't see any harm in at least hearing the man out; if the other agreed she would allow him to take lead on their transportation which had become the norm for her. "I believe the gathering will be at Silvet Lake, I heard the cherry blossom trees there are beautiful in bloom. We could go for a walk after maybe?" she said blushing her sleeved hand going up to her cheeks to hide her embarrassment.

[break][break]
Kikka is a town known to be the defensive foot-hold for the Clover Kingdom, it is the town that sits in the grey area of what could be considered the noble region and the common region. It is due to this that there is a diverse range of people and backgrounds that called this place home. [break][break] A young fire mage found himself getting into trouble when he decided to steal some vegetables from a garden of jewellers. The mother of the family was the one that caught him and even told the boy and his mother that they just needed to ask due to them having more than enough. It was the beginning of a new bond between the family and the fire mage. [break][break] Over time the boy grew and where he was wanting to learn the next flashy fire move from the former purple orca. She would tell him that he needed to learn how to walk before he tried to run or those he cared about would get burned by those same flames that treasured so much. Of course, being young he didn't understand what she was getting at. [break][break] The woman's husband attempted to teach the street smart and somewhat rough male his craft. He, of course, got bored real quickly because crafting jewellery was a slow process that often was very detail orientated. Still, the man tried. On the day the fire mage was scheduled to leave Kikka for the exams the man called the young mage into his workshop. [break][break] He was just finishing up a double ring set and told him to put every wish and promise he could into a single flame and release it onto the ring. Somewhat sceptical the fire mage did what he was asked and thought it was for some sort of trinket for the woman that had helped him grow. The man placed the ring into a box and handed it to the budding mage. [break][break] "Valo, we see you as our son and we are proud to see the man you've grown into. You've helped create something that is unique and special, keep it with you and give it to someone that you believe deserves what you put into it." [break][break] The now young man gave bravado with his normal attitude but took the ring. He held onto it for three years until something terrible happened. The family that he had loved so much was taken from him. The one that had seen him at his most vulnerable and had helped him through the grief was a young woman. A woman who themselves couldn't fight due to their beliefs. [break][break] He remembered the ring from all those years ago and offered it to her, telling her if she was ever in danger just to call him and he'd come running.

From the ring, a blue flame seems to emerge and move around the wearer giving the feeling of warmth and being hugged. The flames eventually dissipate and leave the person being healed with almost metallic blue flaming intertwining symbols going around their body. The flames are intricate and delicate so they could easily be mistaken as tasteful jewellery. Speaking the name of another while twisting the ring will give them the benefits of the healing. With the use of the ammo rules, additional people can be healed per trigger. This ability heals for junior rank damage, this ability will also actively attempt to cleanse those being healed by it from any debuffs, poisons, hexes, curses, venoms as per the clashing rules.

From the ring springs, a book made with a blue flame cover but upon opening it the flames are an orangy-red as normal. Speaking the name of the person that the wielder wants to speak from creates their name at the front of the book in orangy-red flames. When a connection is made an identical book is created in front of that person with the casters name so they know who is contacting them. As those communicating speak the pages start to fill in with blue flaming text as if being written, this is so facts can be looked over at a later point while the spell is active. As this is only junior currently only one person may be contacted at a time. If used for reinforcements the person being asked must wait 2 rounds after the initial contact has been made before they can enter, as this ability grows stronger it will allow for contacting people in other areas, if contacting people in other areas and requesting aid they must wait 4 rounds after the initial contact has been made before they can enter.

Valo Stark
"Don't need a reason to seek strength."
Valo was going through a sort of metamorphosis recently, his fire element getting weaker and weaker by the day. But now it felt like something new was taking it's place, at this time he no longer felt afraid of the future and what this could mean. Since they finished that dungeon a few weeks ago, Valo felt more curious as to what was going on with him now. Agneya felt the same way, she was getting back to her lively self. But her appearance was starting to change. Her red/orange hair turning to a silverly white in some patches, and it no longer looking dull the way it had the past few weeks. What was even more odd, was his mana still felt hot like it was fire. But he knew it was not. It was more like pure energy itself, whenever he intended to use spells it came from his very aura.
Similar things for Hinota as well, her memories were getting better by the day and so was her magic. It was till and odd time for them all, but it seemed things were turning out for the better. Valo himself was meditating nearby to align himself better, his meditating helped him to figure out what was happening to his element and his body. He didn't have clear answers yet, but he was getting close. Agenya was also meditating taking the same sitting position as him ontop of his head.
Both opening an eye when Hinota called out to him, and spoke of Griswold setting up an organization of sorts. With everything going on with them lately he didn't give it to much thought, when he received the letter. Not to disrespect Griswold, but simply because there allot on their plates at the moment. But the cause and reason for such a group was something Valo agreed with, at least from the information on the letter.
"Hmmm if your ready for it Hino, we can go see what he has in mind. But don't push yourself right now, getting your memories and magic back are top priority. Nothing else. But if you insist..." Valo said getting up on his feet, and walking outside. He clapped his hands once, a blue burst of harmless energy was made in front of him and shaped itself into a golem. But this dragon golem looked different than the ones he used in the past, it had large arms and legs, with four wings on it's back. It also had a more majestic and serene appearance, as it's body shined in the daylight. "Aki." Valo named the golem right then and there, then looking at his hands as wisps of blue aura like energy came from it.
Agneya looked down at Valo's face hanging upside down. "We're on our way back! Meditating really works!" she shouted. "I told you, it would." he replied.
Valo looked towards Hinota with a big smile on his face, he wasn't sure what was going exactly still but this was progress. They were now taking confident steps forward for once, instead of steps back. "We travel as per usual, golem style! And we'll take that walk later on!" he said with some oomph in his voice. Helping Hinota onto the new golem, and getting on himself. The golem would take off towards Silvert Lake.
Upon arriving at Silvert Lake, seeing an open fire the dragon golem started to fly towards that area. Valo seeing Griswold some food perhaps, he didn't know the Black Bull to well personally. They've met once before, but that was all. One thing was for certain he's made quite the name for himself in a short time and Valo had respect for him. So he was willing to listen to what he had to say. Valo would jump off his dragon like golem and help Hinota off, before giving Griswold a simple wave. "Are we the first to arrive?"

[attr="class","temppost"] Victoria inspected her appearance in the mirror, looking over to make sure that everything was just perfect. She was going to be attending her first official meeting of the Solarian Wolves organization and she wanted to make sure that she would make a good first impression on the other members. Bacchus has chosen the outfit for her to wear, stating that since this was an organization set to improve the more impoverished locations of the Clover Kingdom, she should wear something a bit more conservative dress that didn't flaunt her wealth. She was inclined to agree with him as she didn't want to upset anyone or come across as pretentious; she personally didn't care if they were offended by her choice but there was no need to create tension for such a minor thing. She was unaware of who else Griswold had gotten to join but one thing that she was certain of would be that they were all influential and powerful members of the Clover Kingdom. It would take a lot of work; both physically and politically, to rebuild these towns and she was sure that they would need to smooth any ruffled feathers from the noble at their actions.
Once she was satisfied with her appearance, Victoria exited her room, Bacchus falling in step beside her as she made her way to the front of her manor. From there she entered into the carriage that she had rented in order to take her to Sivert Lake, making a mental note to purchase one soon. If things went well in the next few weeks, she would most likely be doing it alongside the other improvements that she had set to start implementing. She had at least decided to bring along her portable tea set and various tea flavors along, feeling it would only be polite to offer to the others for this meeting. She remembered that she had last visited the location during the Yule tree decorating event and was looking forward to seeing what the area looked like without all the snow covering the ground. For a location set in the forsaken region, it was supposedly a rather beautiful and enchanting sight to see causing it to be frequented by many lovers. "Have you ever been to Sivert Lake Bacchus?" the wraith user decided to ask her majordomo. He had only been working for her for a few weeks now so there was much that she didn't know about his history before now and she found herself curious to learn about his life. "I have visited the lake a few times in my youth with past lovers." he said in a melancholy tone. Victoria found herself tempted to pry a bit more but decided against it.
The carriage soon arrived at the location and Bacchus stepped out, offering his hand to Victoria for her to exit the carriage. From here she could smell the scent of cooked meat wafting in the breeze. "I take it that Griswold has already arrived then and has provided a meal. How considerate." she mused as she made her way towards the smell. Arriving at the clearing Victoria noted the fire pit alongside the meat of what appeared to be a boar and two deer roasting on pikes. As far as seating went, there only seemed to be some trenches made out of the dirt for them to sit on. Had Victoria known that she wouldn't have been provided with even a basic cushion, she would have brought one from the carriage to sit on. Thankfully Bacchus fixed her dilemma, removing his jacket and placing it down on one of the trenches for her to seat upon. "Greetings all, I hope that I'm not too late." she greeted, giving her familiar curtsy before taking a seat. "A wonder to see you once again Ms. Yuiee, it has been a while since we last saw each other, I hope you are well." she said in her usual soft-spoken tone, smiling at her fellow plant mage before turning to the stranger in her midst. "I don't believe that we've met before. I'm Victoria Amandine Dubois of the Blue Rose squad and this is my majordomo and bodyguard Bacchus Augustus Aurelius." Bacchus bowed to the group at large, electing to remain standing behind Victoria, speaking in his usual stern, deep tone "A pleasure to meet you all.."
Once the introductions were done, Bacchus would head over to the lake and fill up the teapot before heading back over to the fire pit, looking over to Griswold for permission before setting it up to boil as he set about bringing out her tea selections for the others to peruse as well as some light snacks as they waited for the meat to cook. "Feel free to choose any flavor you would like to drink. Being an avid tea drinker, I have a multitude of different flavors that I keep on hand for every occasion."

Rank & Element: Junior Class & Type: Accessory Magic Specializations: N/A Appearance & Lore: The Magic Knight Mantle is an Item in which Magic Knights wear to show the Squad that are in. Each Squad has a different color Mantle along with their own squad logo as well.

This item is usually hangs from the waist.
A young noble is said to have insulted the fairy queen by starting to burn a field of rare flowers favoured by her people. They managed to defend most of them from being burned with the use of an ancient talisman that gave them the power to do so.
That changed nothing however as some of the flowers still had fairy children sleeping within them, vengence was saught, there was nothing that the man had that the fairies wanted. They were a people of nature, even if they weren't no amount of wealth or bartering would bring back those they lost.
The young noble was given a simple task, hold onto the amulet in his hand for one month and be within the heart of the forest; if the forest forgave his actions so would they. He done what was requested but little by little he was becoming weaker as the item sapped his mana from him until he finally perished. The fairy queen regained the item soon after with the simple words "Respect nature, as much it gives it can take away."

The Blue Rose base was calm as always, Magnus had done his best to try and keep the place tidy when he wasn't doing missions, often times when he had time off he made his way back to his home, though today he found himself cleaning the Blue Rose base at the first light of daybreak, he was nervous after all, in fact, he wasn't sure how things would go. After cleaning the base and preparing breakfast for everyone, Magnus made his way to the cleaning area, making sure to do his daily bathing, moisturizing his skin, and then placing on an outfit. This being one of his favorites and most frequent articles of clothing, granted this wasn't the same exact suit, but it was one of a dozen. In his black suit, with a sapphire blue shirt, white tie, a sapphire blue pocket square folded in the shape of a fire, and some dress shoes, Magnus made his way to his room to get Fantelo out of bed. Today Magnus smelled of his usual hint of mint, but it also had a mix of sandalwood and roses mixed in it.
After feeding the young spirit, Magnus made his way to the front of the Blue Rose base he said his goodbyes to everyone as it was now officially his day off, though his destination wouldn't be back home as of yet. In fact, it would be Sivert lake, a place with beautiful scenery and an area he hadn't been to in quite a while. He reached into his pocket and brought out his silver carriage trinket, and tossed it in front of him. The silver trinket expanded into that of a large carriage drawn by six-winged horses, Magnus opened the door and waited by it for Victoria and Bacchus who had stayed the night at the Blue Rose base, he was curious as to whether to not to man had enjoyed himself and would potentially be willing to join the Blue Rose himself in the future, or perhaps The Solarian Wolves, Magnus wasn't sure what his cousin would choose but he did know that this was the happiest he had seen him in a long time, perhaps Victoria just had that effect on people.
When Victoria came out of the Blue Rose base, Magnus would greet her with the usual formalities, "Good morning Lady Victoria, I hope you slept well." He said with a smile before turning to look at his cousin Bacchus, "and good morning to you too, cousin," his smile was still present as he turned to the both of them, opening the door to the carriage and draping his arm across his chest as if to say "after you." After they were both in, Magnus willed the carriage to fly forward, he grabbed the nearby tea offering it to the both of them, before continuing the conversation. "I do hope things go well today, I wonder if there will be any others joining us?"
Magnus, found the carriage ride to be rather smooth, nothing out of the ordinary, and when they made three was toward the meeting location he gradually lowered the carriage out of the air until it came to rest on the ground the horses trodding instead of flying before it came up toward a campfire, as he looked out the window, Magnus saw what looked to be a dragon flying above. He was a little worried but he quickly dismissed it as the view became clearer as it made its way out of the sky, and atop it, he saw two people he was familiar with. The carriage pulled around and Magnus made his way out of it, holding the door open for both Victoria and Bacchus, allowing them to get out before he turned it back into a trinket, put it away, and then quickly said his greeting.
"Hello, Griswold," Magnus said with a smiling nod to the man's general direction, choosing to forgo most of the noble formalities when it came to greeting Griswold as he knew the man didn't like the whole noble back and forth, but then as he turned to Hinota and Valo, Magnus found himself bowing slightly, placing his right hand over his chest as he spoke softly, "Well this is truly a surprise. Greetings Lady Hinota, and Sir Valo, lovely to see you both again." He had to keep his face from displaying a large beaming smile, as putting two and two together told him they were both prospects of joining the organization.
Fantelo perked up at the immediate sight of Hinota, he meowed lightly "A pleasure to see you all again," he said with a smile. His eyes practically sparkled as they glanced at Hinota, and Magnus found himself wondering if he'd have to container the paint spirit and keep him from jumping off his shoulders and onto Hinota, however, no such thing happened. Clearly, his training in propper manners had been paying off. Magnus glanced up to see meat roasting atop the firepit, alongside nuts and berries, it was clear that Griswold most likely foraged such things, and knowing him it was probably his way of trying to be a good host. Magnus thought it was rather kind of the man to go out of his way to do such, and he was curious as to how the food tasted, it had been ages since he had such a campfire-made meal. The thought of indulging himself in it brought back fond memories of when he and his daughter traveled around. Moving from one place to the next, never in one place too long.
Often times back then money was hard to come across when he hadn't made or sold any new art, and thus at times, it took a bit of effort, time, and skill to keep food on the table. Of course, Magnus never truly hunted creatures on his own, no he was much more willing to buy them from local vendors, but because he was often in the Forsaken region most meat was that of hunted animals. The smell was mouth-watering though he kept himself from doing so as it would be unseemly. Magnus made his way over toward the campfire, willing and eager to get this show on the road.

These paintbrushes were a gift to Magnus from his mother when he was younger and as such he cherishes them dearly but also uses them for his magic. However, as they are a magical set, they all share the same durability, thus if his weapon was to break even if it was just one paint brush due to an attack capable of destroying a junior rank weapon all of them would break. Outside of the fact that they can release paint, these weapons are nothing more than blunt objects. As such, they cannot be used to stab or pierce without the usage of a spell or its ability. Abilities:
Type & Uses: Flow | 3 Active, 2 Overheat Rank & Specialization: Junior | Golem Creation Size: 1 meter Mana Cost: 8 Per Flow | 4 Upkeep Type of Golem: Scout Description: Click for Image of Golem Magnus channels his paint magic into the movement of the paintbrushes amplifying the paint into a large amount from the tip of the brushes. He uses shades of white, gray, pinks, greens, and yellows to create the shape of a humanoid body, specifically a woman with long hair. The paint flows to life, taking greater depth and shape from the image, revealing a portrait of a young woman with dark gray to green hair, pink mystical eyes, a gray dress, and glowing pink and yellow flowers blossoming from her. The golem has a sheen to its skin like wet paint. The golem is a Scout type and as such is built for speed, flight, and sensory.
A masterfully crafted two-inch long white gold pin in the shape of a paintbrush in the middle of the handle lays a very rare unique sapphire blue moonstone.
At the origins of house Aurelius being recognized as nobles a set of eight unique pins were made, each pin was designed with a specific artistic or scholarly pursuit in mind and each having a differing type or rare gem or variant of a semi-precious gem inlaid on it somewhere. One was then given to each elder of the house.
The way they decided who would wear which pin was dependent on the pursuit that aligned with each pin. This meant the elder who found beauty in the craft of calligraphy would be given the pin which had the scroll and quill whereas the elder who found beauty in gardening would wear the pin-shaped like a rose in full bloom.
As an elder retired they would pass the pin to their successor. Who would then take on the responsibilities of every elder that wore the pin before them? It is believed that every elder on their final day of wearing the pin puts a slither of their mana into it so they might be able to guide those that come after them. Some elders have said they have felt the presence of their ancestors from the pin, especially during times of great turmoil or stress.
They've said as they become more attuned with their craft and the understanding of their duties the pin has given them a strength they didn't know they otherwise possessed. It is because of this these pins are seen as more than just a status symbol but something to be proud of and protected so that the future of the family can continue in its pursuit to serve those that would require their services.

The charm itself is around half an inch long and half an inch tall.
The black market has some strange people working for it and they had managed to find a few rare charms that were abandoned in some ruins within the Aristaeus’ Basin. What it actually did wasn't known until recently and by accident at that but it seems like it comes in handy as a mode of transportation with all the comforts of home.
This item can be given two additional abilities and can be upgraded even if you don't have the elements this will be charged at double the cost unless you have both elements that the charm has then it will be standard cost.

The carriage is able to house up to three people comfortably and is fifteen cubic meters inside but takes around to form. Healing spells cast within the carriage will cost 20% less. Unlike most abilities as this is a base, only the sustain cost will ever be charged from the moment of its creation. Although spells of this rank can go as far as 40m the charm holder can go no further than 10m from the carriage or it will return back to its charm form. The carriage is able to move at 15 m/s at this rank.
When opening the door of the carriage it seems like it's filled with liquid but going through it takes a person to what would seem like a lavish room that is warm and filled with delicious foods and drinks so that they may enjoy the comforts of home even when on the road.

As the people whom he had more or less been expecting had begun to show up, part of him had imagined both Valo and Hinota would have sat this one out. Given her disposition towards violence, and how she was clearly against it, it made him wonder just how she thought this whole thing was going to go. In fact, he hadn’t fully grasped how things were going to be going himself, as this was the first time he had really put himself out there in front of the people in a real attempt to fix the country. And apparently, the latter of the two had run into a bunch of trouble after their shared adventure at the bottom of the ocean, though that was more or less the extent of the story that he was aware of. Not being one to pry, he was glad that they had made it here.
Since a bunch of people were now seeing one another for the first time in a while, at least according to what he was picking up, he would not feel right diving straight into his story. Besides, there was a chance that there were more people still on their way over here, whom he felt like he should wait for, if only for a little while longer. If anything, it would allow the four that had gathered here a moment to get their bearings, as well as discuss whatever they wished to talk about before they would get down to the meat and potatoes making up what this meeting was truly about. With Valo and Hinota being the first to get there, and asking whether or not they were, him holding off on the main story for a while only seemed fitting as it would also give him a moment to talk to everyone.
“You were indeed, and I’m glad you’re both here. Having people from both the black bulls and the green mantis squads present feels like a must for this kind of deal, so it is much appreciated.”
And in saying that, not a single word had been a lie, as the mantis and bulls made up the magic squads of the poorest region. Now, to claim that everyone so far had been arriving in style would not have been much of an understatement, with Valo and Hinota arriving on a large draconic golem while Victoria and Magnus arrived with a flying carriage, Griswold arriving in places on the back of pitch black steed was almost bland in comparison. But that did not matter, as he did not go places to win any trophies, he merely traveled from one location to the next to get a job done, and get it done well. With a bit of luck, what they would start here today would relieve him of some of the burden he felt as he often felt like he was the only one carrying the full weight of the forsaken region on his shoulders.
And while this was obviously not true, there was no shrugging the idea he had that people could and should be doing more. But judging by the people that had come out here today, some of them being nobles, as well as commoners like himself gave him the feeling that they just might be able to keep this country together if they worked hard enough for it. Another thing he was feeling quite strongly was that he was more than likely going to need to do a whole lot of talking today, way more than in any given normal situation. That said though, this was hardly a normal situation. If all went well, it was going to be the birth of something new that would bring something truly great with it. Nodding at Victoria and her majordomo as if approving the idea of tea going around, as that was not something he had brought about himself, it would make the whole experience a bit more… professional in appearance, for lack of a better word.
“Greetings Victoria, Magnus, Bacchus, feel free to mingle a bit before we get started. I want to give any remaining stragglers a chance to get here before we kick things off. I rather hate having to repeat myself.”

Naoki heard about the Black Bulls and their antics but as he hung around the base he found there was little to do. Griswold…the man that was going for some sort of event he was putting on at…Sivert Lake? That was a place for…couples…Naoki sighed as he was not the least bit interested in partaking in what could be a “swingers event” but after doing a little bit of digging…he found out that the senior member of the Black Bulls was putting together some sort of organization and as such was throwing some sort of recruitment drive. He was not given any sort of job to do at the current time so he decided to just take a trip and show up.
A day of travel later and he arrived at the getaway for couples…he looked out of place, a large man with a large hammer on his back, brooding black clothing…just a general sore thumb if one was to be honest. He saw a few people giving him skeptical eyes of course, but hey…he was no prissy pretty boy, Zaven Blake or overachiever Ardere Kasai…he was just a simple man that had simple lines of thought…he needed to fight anyone and everyone that stood between him and peace…maybe these…Solarian Wolves? Would be able to do something to help achieve that…
He found the cabin that was rented out and he walked in, his mantle hung off of his shoulders and he looked around before taking position on a far wall near the back as he was there to hear out what Griswold had to say, but he did not put much stock into this whole gathering…

"I'm fine with that though just how many others are you expecting to attend this meeting?" she asked Griswold as she waited for the teapot to boil. There were already five members currently attending this meeting which was more than she had initially expected but then again it shouldn't have come as a surprise to her. Griswold was a well-established member of the Royal Knights so it would stand to reason that he would have ended up making connections throughout his career with both his fellow knights as well as other powerful citizens that he met on his journeys. That would easily explain Hinota's presence here since she was another member of the Royal Knights alongside Griswold and Magnus. "There is also the fact that it would be prudent to have someone with healing magic on standby since many of the common villages could end up requiring it." the wraith user mused before turning to look at the stranger. It appeared that she was the only member so far who was unaware of him as Magnus spoke to him with some familiarity, or at least that's how she interpreted the large man's greeting towards the man now identified as Valo.
Victoria was about to begin making small talk with the others when she heard the sound of the teapot going off. Bacchus moved forward to remove the stick from the fire, setting it off to the side before coming back over and readying the teacups and leaves for everyone. Given the fact that they would be partaking in the meat that Griswold had hunted; to do otherwise would be the height of rudeness, Victoria figured that she would go with a black tea flavor this time rather than her usual preferred Chamomile flavor. She didn't foresee herself needing the relaxation effects that Chamomile at this type of meeting was just the type of scenario that she enjoyed. She made it a habit to learn everything that she could when she meet someone new since information was power. As Bacchus poured her cup of black tea, the wraith user began to plot which of the other three members she wished to start her questioning with. She decided to hold off on Valo as she wanted to see what she could pick up about him from conversation or what he would volunteer to give, leaving her with the other two magic knights. She knew a bit about Griswold but there was always more that she could learn about the older man. The same could be said about Hinota since she was the same age as Victoria but had reached the heights of a Royal Knight. That spoke of talent and dedication in order to be able to do that within a year of joining the magic knights.
Accepting the teacup from Bacchus with a small "thank you" Victoria decided that she would start with Griswold since this was his organization after all. "Now where do I want to begin." she considered before movement drew her attention to a newcomer amongst their group. He was above average in height; if she had to guess, Victoria would put him somewhere in the six-foot range and heavily muscled as his tank top left little to the imagination. Victoria found herself interested in him for that alone, already putting him in the category of yielding a decent wraith without even having seen his magic yet. "Given the fact that he doesn't appear to be confused or lost, it's safe to say that he was probably one of those invited here by Griswold" Victoria mused before setting her teacup to the side and rising to her feet in greeting. "Good evening Sir, I'm Victoria Amadine Dubois, a pleasure to meet you. May I have the honor of knowing your name?" she stated as she gave her familiar curtsy greeting. "We're still waiting for a few others to arrive but feel free to join us if you desire, we're taking the time to get to know one another since we'll be working together for the foreseeable future." she offered before going to take her seat.
Raising the teacup to her mouth, Victoria took a sip, feeling the bold and malty flavor hitting her tastebuds before swallowing. "So Griswold, have you put any thoughts on how and where you'd like to begin our work once the Solarian Wolves have been officially established?" she asked the older man before turning her gaze onto Hinota and Valo. "Im also curious to know what made you two decide to join if you don't mind my asking."

Rank & Element: Junior Class & Type: Accessory Magic Specializations: N/A Appearance & Lore: The Magic Knight Mantle is an Item in which Magic Knights wear to show the Squad that are in. Each Squad has a different color Mantle along with their own squad logo as well.

This item is usually hangs from the waist.
A young noble is said to have insulted the fairy queen by starting to burn a field of rare flowers favoured by her people. They managed to defend most of them from being burned with the use of an ancient talisman that gave them the power to do so.
That changed nothing however as some of the flowers still had fairy children sleeping within them, vengence was saught, there was nothing that the man had that the fairies wanted. They were a people of nature, even if they weren't no amount of wealth or bartering would bring back those they lost.
The young noble was given a simple task, hold onto the amulet in his hand for one month and be within the heart of the forest; if the forest forgave his actions so would they. He done what was requested but little by little he was becoming weaker as the item sapped his mana from him until he finally perished. The fairy queen regained the item soon after with the simple words "Respect nature, as much it gives it can take away."

Post by Hinota Yuiee✾ on May 23, 2022 15:35:12 GMT -5
Hinota smiled looking at him nodding, she knew he was worried about her taking on too much due to her memory but she was slowly getting better in that regard. Their magics were still hit and miss at the best of times but for now, it seemed like they were over the worse of whatever the hell was happening to them. They both wanted answers and were attempting to find them in different ways. Valo trained and meditated while she communed with the world around her, she believed that Valo may get the answers before she did as she didn't expect the flora and fauna of their makeshift home to answer her but it brought her peace and felt quite natural to her. She put that down to her plant magic, it was the only part that had remained completely stable in her grimoire as she went through her current metamorphosis.
"Valo, it honestly doesn't matter if I am ready or not." she said looking at him her voice was small, she didn't feel ready to put herself out into the world yet but she had her reasons. "Two well-known people vanishing without a trace will raise questions by not only those that knew them but those who had heard of them." she said remembering how the farmer had acted seeing the pair. It still hadn't been comfortable for her to be recognised and be spoken about like that when she felt like a complete stranger to herself, it was understandable why the interaction had been quite off putting but she had managed to stumble through the discussion. "I know that both are a priority... I remember what is at stake." they were both destined to fight for the kingdom's future in the not so distant future, it scared her.
The doll-like mage walked with him and watched a smile on her face as she took Agneya into her arms "And you are looking even more radiant for it Agneya." she said to the spirit knowing that it had been a worrying time before. She walked over to the golem and inspected it for a moment, her hand going across the stomach of the golem dragon gently. She knew she didn't need to be afraid about being burned by it. "It's not fire... it doesn't feel like Charlotte's flames." her eyes went back to Valo, she knew that every mage's mana signature was different but from what she remembered all elements had their quirks. She bit her lower lip for a moment as something had been on her mind since the dungeon and her magic worked even if it was hit and miss at times "What if our elements have changed?" she asked him.
She took his hand and allowed herself to be helped onto the golem, she was just happy to see them both how her fragmented memories remembered them "Agneya, I forgot to tell you." she moved into her sleeve and brought out a fire candy "I remember how to make a few things for you, unfortunately, if I'm right about an elemental shift with us where it will still taste good it'll also taste off to you." she said offering it to the spirit "On the plus side, this brings us another step forward to understand what's going on and if I am right, then... then it's just going through the elements until we find the elemental food that tastes right." she said looking to them both hoping that this would brighten them up more as it would put one mystery to an end but then the next one would begin. How did it happen?
The flight was as uneventful as she had grown accustomed to, she was thankful for this, she just hummed gently to herself unless addressed. Soon enough they got to the meeting area, seeing them descend she began to look around and saw a fire soon enough she saw Griswold and waved before she was helped off the golem "Thank you Valo." she said before stroking the underbelly of the golem, it was a new mannerism she had gained. She knew that the golem was only made from mana but she didn't believe them to be soulless tools, after all, Valo had put his mana and emotions into it. It had something that she had come to realize when his magic wavered. She didn't believe they should be taken advantage of, she knew what it was like to be seen as a mindless doll after all.
"I think we are." she said with a soft voice before hearing another woman's voice addressing her, her eyes looking to Valo as if asking who she was, she was still trying to remember people "I... I'm sorry miss but I don't remember you." she held her sleeves gently as she looked to the ground. She wasn't saying this to be cruel, there were still a lot of gaps in her memory. She could tell by the mantle she was a blue rose mage so didn't believe she was in any danger, still, she was ashamed that she couldn't remember acquaintances. "I am sure, the pleasure would be mine however." she said bringing her hands to her left side bending at the knees a little as was her customary way. She didn't exactly want to say that she had lost her memory or there were problems because she remembered just how cutthroat nobles could be to one another.
She watched as the bodyguard went off to get water for the teapot and was offered tea by victoria "Would you happen to have da hong pao?" she asked taking a seat on the ground near the fire for warmth, she knew the tea she had asked for was very rare in Clover but was also extremely expensive even in her homeland so she could imagine how much it cost here. It had been the first time since she lost her memory that she had asked for a specific type of tea, so she took that as an improvement. It was then she heard another voice, it was male this time and though gentle it held a tone of strength that couldn't be ignored "I am deeply apologetic sir, but, I don't remember you either." she looked to Valo wondering if she should tell them what was going on with her.
She wasn't of the green mantis or the black bulls so was wondering if she should have been there, that being said Valo was and she knew he cared not only for his home town of Kikka but for the squad he saw as family and the kingdom as a whole. Valo had said she was as to how she had always been so that made her feel more at ease with her decision. She didn't know what they were exactly meeting for but she would keep her beliefs intact, perhaps, she could help in the endeavour in a way no one else could. That would be something that she would be able to see in due time. Her eyes went to the painting spirit who addressed her and smiled gently holding out her arms "Are you wishing for a hug?" she would ask the paint spirit seeing the intent in his eyes.
Hinota remained quiet and watched the newcomer who didn't seem too interested to interact with the rest of the group, she didn't go so far as to interact with him as Victoria had already taken it upon herself to do such a thing. When she was asked what made her turn up she just smiled "We have no idea what we are here to discuss, we just know that Griswold wishes to make an organisation and believed it would be good to hear him out, there is no harm in that after all." she was truthful in her answer "If it is something that aligns with our own beliefs without going against our duties as knights then we may try and help." she said not wishing to answer for Valo so only gave it from her point of view.

"Don't need a reason to seek strength."
Right Valo and Hinota arrived, a carriage came down as well. It must have been more people to meet up at Griswold's request. A young woman with blonde hair came out after what seemed to be her butler. Based on how she spoke to Hinota, they must have known each other. But now Hinota wouldn't remember them because of her memory loss. After she introduced herself as Victoria Amandine Dubois of the Blue Rose squad, Valo would smile. "I'm Valo from Green Mantis." he kept his introduction short and simple, he was a simple young man, he then nodded at Bacchus "But uuhh...Hinota is recovering her memory. She may not remember you right now. Please be patient with her." Valo said in regard to Hinota's memory loss, interacting with other people was going to be allot more trickier than he realized. He then nodded at Bacchus
After that other faces showed themselves, Magnus showed up so that made for two Blue Rose members now. Gris saids his hellos, Gris and Valo were both from the squads in the Forsaken Region so their squads had quite a bit in common and had similar ideals. Soon other showed up Magnus whom was in the same Royal Knight group as Valo. Another member of the Black Bulls showed up as well, but seemed to want to keep to himself for now. He didn't think much of it, he was very similar when he first joined Green Mantis.
Agneya was enjoying the fire candy Hinota had made for her. "Your right it still tastes good though!" the spirit said with a excited tone of voice munching down on the candy. Even though she wasn't a fire spirit anymore it seemed like, she was still very much fiery. At least in assuming they were going through some kind of elemental shift. Which Valo thought to be correct, his magic weren't flames anymore. Though still warm, it wasn't the same but it was still familiar. Which was odd.
"Ah sorry Magnus, Hinota is recovering her memory loss. This is Magnus Aurelius, he's in our royal knight group." Valo said to Magnus and Hinota. The situation wasn't ideal, but it was out of Valo's hands. Hinota wasn't going to listen to him, so this is what it was for now. He thought it would just be best to keep them informed on her condition, if she was sure she was ready to get out there in the world again certain people had to know the truth.
Valo took a seat next to Hinota. "To be honest just here to listen to what Griswold has to say. If it's for establishing more protection for the lands that need it, I'm all ears." Valo said to answer Victoria's question. "What about you?" he asked her.

[attr="class","temppost"] Magnus smiled as he stood next to Victoria and Bacchus, he was curious as to where this conversation for the organization would lead. Though what would take him by surprise was Hinota's words, she stated that she didn't remember Victoria, and for a moment Magnus wondered if the floral noblewoman was simply joking.
As they moved toward the meeting area, Bacchus made his way over to the freshwater lake only to come back with a pot of water to boil, he offered tea to everyone. Magnus smiled, as he nodded to his cousin, he for sure knew that Bacchus would know that he for one would want a simple black tea, after all, black tea had multiple health benefits including helping with digestion and considering the venison that was cooking Magnus figured that the black tea would be a large help to break down the gamy meat once it was done cooking.
His eye twinkled as Hinota asked if Bacchus had a specific type of tea, he had never had it before, but he figured that if anyone would know what it was, it would be Bacchus, considering the man liked tea almost as much as he liked wine, and considering he owned a vineyard and was a wine aficionado that was saying a lot.
He then turned to watch as Victoria and Valo got acquainted with one another. Smiling toward his fellow Blue Rose member, and his fellow magic knights. With the warmth of the fire, the smell of venison, and nice tea, Magnus was certainly enjoying himself.
As Hinota spoke to him, Magnus was still rather curious about what was going on with the young woman, perhaps believing that she was still just joking. Though as his eye narrowed in on her expression he realized that Hinota was serious. Magnus's brows creased in confusion before he ultimately opted to withhold his questions, as he was sure that eventually, he'd learn, but he wondered if the young girl still remembered him, and thus made the effort to introduce himself nonetheless, followed by Fantelo with a bit of excitement.
"Don't worry, I'm sure in time you'll remember me again, though I do hope you get better soon," Magnus said with a smile, before turning to Valo and speaking, "Thank you for informing me, Sir Valo. Though it's quite troubling news I know she's in good hands with you around." Magnus spoke with a soft sympathetic tone, he truly did hope that Hinota recovered from the ordeal, he couldn't imagine what she was going through and his heart ached for her. He wondered if there was something he could do to help and began to ponder on it.
Fantelo meanwhile was still showing his display of affection for Hinota, hoping the woman still recognized him or at the very least had some candy for him, regardless his blue eyes shone with enthusiasm as he responded to her, "Yes! Yes! I very much wish for a hug!" He said as he leaped with a gentle grace into the young woman's arms. "You always smell so nice, Lady Hinota!" Fantelo said, his voice meek and high-pitched like that of a young child.
Magnus nodded to Griswold as he spoke having tuned into the man's words as soon as they were uttered from his lips. Griswold said they should mingle and Magnus found himself doing just that, trying to mingle, he responded to Griswold's statement with a question about his well-being. "So how have you been since we've last seen each other, Griswold?" Magnus said inquisitively after Victoria asked her question about the number of attendants...
His eyes turned to notice a man of impressive stature and size enter the room, almost as large as his own. Magnus was certainly impressed, and he quickly waved toward the man, then ushered him toward where the rest of them were sitting and the tea, that sat close to the fire. Perhaps the strong man would be willing to join them by the fire, though Magnus didn't know who he was, he figured the man meant no harm for two reasons: 1. It would be foolish to attempt such in a room full of capable magic knights, and 2, the man was a Black Bulls magic knight himself from what Magnus could see from his mantle, and to Magnus's knowledge that was also the same squad, Griswold was apart of.
"Welcome, care to join us, young man?" Magnus said with a warm smile, as he turned his body to look in the man's direction for but a mere moment before turning his attention back to the conversations at hand. Taking a sip from his tea, he wondered if that man was the last of their group, and if he was he was curious if he'd end up joining them.
Magnus listened in on the conversation between Victoria, Hinota, and Valo, as he too was curious about what made them want to join, especially knowing Hinota was a pacifist. Although he was sure that even being so Hinota would have more than enough uses, and would want to better the kingdom.
After all to Magnus's knowledge that was Griswold's goal.He wanted to help the Forsaken region of the kingdom, help the downtrodden and the weak that were often overlooked because they didn't have the yul. Magnus had spent so much of his life doing just that, that he knew better than most just how much some people struggled, and with the kingdom having gone through a war, and daemon attacks it was no wonder why so many more people had become displaced and in need of a helping hand.
Magnus found himself, taking another sip of black tea from his cup, as he glanced at Fantelo, the young paint spirit clearly enjoying his time. Lately, as things stood, Magnus found himself becoming even closer to the paint spirit. He couldn't put his finger on it, nor could he put an actual name to what he thought was happening to them but he knew spirits had another level to them, and if they trusted their partners enough could even lend them their power. Magnus didn't know how this process worked, but thankfully another spirit user was here, and perhaps Valo would have some answers to his many questions.
Rank & Element: Junior Class & Type: Accessory Magic Specializations: N/A Appearance & Lore: The Magic Knight Mantle is an Item in which Magic Knights wear to show the Squad that are in. Each Squad has a different color Mantle along with their own squad logo as well. When these items were built they were made out of a special material that allows them to be unbreakable from any sort of attack, but does not block the wearer from any attacks. Magic Knights of the Clover Kingdom has worn these Mantles for hundreds of years. Abilities:
Rank & Element: Junior | Paint Class & Type: Imbued | Magic Trinket Magic Specializations: Golem Creation Appearance & Lore: Click For Image A Magical Ornate Paint Brush Set that comes with five 4-inch Paint Brushes in total all with different widths and styled bristles. The paintbrushes are ornate in design, with swirls of small patterns and silver in color. They have purple bristles that fade into white at their tips. Nothing is too special about these paintbrushes on their own except they are sturdy and have no need for a palette as they are capable of producing any color of paint on their own with a small infusion of mana. These paintbrushes were a gift to Magnus from his mother when he was younger and as such he cherishes them dearly but also uses them for his magic. However, as they are a magical set, they all share the same durability, thus if his weapon was to break even if it was just one paint brush due to an attack capable of destroying a junior rank weapon all of them would break. Outside of the fact that they can release paint, these weapons are nothing more than blunt objects. As such, they cannot be used to stab or pierce without the usage of a spell or its ability. Abilities:
Type & Uses: Flow | 3 Active, 2 Overheat Rank & Specialization: Junior | Golem Creation Size: 1 meter Mana Cost: 8 Per Flow | 4 Upkeep Type of Golem: Scout Description: Click for Image of Golem Magnus channels his paint magic into the movement of the paintbrushes amplifying the paint into a large amount from the tip of the brushes. He uses shades of white, gray, pinks, greens, and yellows to create the shape of a humanoid body, specifically a woman with long hair. The paint flows to life, taking greater depth and shape from the image, revealing a portrait of a young woman with dark gray to green hair, pink mystical eyes, a gray dress, and glowing pink and yellow flowers blossoming from her. The golem has a sheen to its skin like wet paint. The golem is a Scout type and as such is built for speed, flight, and sensory.
A masterfully crafted two-inch long white gold pin in the shape of a paintbrush in the middle of the handle lays a very rare unique sapphire blue moonstone.
At the origins of house Aurelius being recognized as nobles a set of eight unique pins were made, each pin was designed with a specific artistic or scholarly pursuit in mind and each having a differing type or rare gem or variant of a semi-precious gem inlaid on it somewhere. One was then given to each elder of the house.
The way they decided who would wear which pin was dependent on the pursuit that aligned with each pin. This meant the elder who found beauty in the craft of calligraphy would be given the pin which had the scroll and quill whereas the elder who found beauty in gardening would wear the pin-shaped like a rose in full bloom.
As an elder retired they would pass the pin to their successor. Who would then take on the responsibilities of every elder that wore the pin before them? It is believed that every elder on their final day of wearing the pin puts a slither of their mana into it so they might be able to guide those that come after them. Some elders have said they have felt the presence of their ancestors from the pin, especially during times of great turmoil or stress.
They've said as they become more attuned with their craft and the understanding of their duties the pin has given them a strength they didn't know they otherwise possessed. It is because of this these pins are seen as more than just a status symbol but something to be proud of and protected so that the future of the family can continue in its pursuit to serve those that would require their services.

Rank & Element: Intermediate ¦ Spatial ¦ Food Class & Type: Magic ¦ Trinket (charm) Magic Specializations: Supplementry Construct ¦ Transformation Appearance & Lore: A detailed silver charm in the shape of a regal carriage that any self-respecting noble would be seen in, the carriage itself does not seem to have horses. The charm itself is around half an inch long and half an inch tall.
The black market has some strange people working for it and they had managed to find a few rare charms that were abandoned in some ruins within the Aristaeus’ Basin. What it actually did wasn't known until recently and by accident at that but it seems like it comes in handy as a mode of transportation with all the comforts of home.
This item can be given two additional abilities and can be upgraded even if you don't have the elements this will be charged at double the cost unless you have both elements that the charm has then it will be standard cost.

The carriage is able to house up to three people comfortably and is fifteen cubic meters inside but takes around to form. Healing spells cast within the carriage will cost 20% less. Unlike most abilities as this is a base, only the sustain cost will ever be charged from the moment of its creation. Although spells of this rank can go as far as 40m the charm holder can go no further than 10m from the carriage or it will return back to its charm form. The carriage is able to move at 15 m/s at this rank.
When opening the door of the carriage it seems like it's filled with liquid but going through it takes a person to what would seem like a lavish room that is warm and filled with delicious foods and drinks so that they may enjoy the comforts of home even when on the road.

With yet another person showing up, this time an actual member of the Black Bulls, they had reached a point in time where Griswold no longer deluded himself into believing there would be any additional takers. While it would be good to see potential others popping in, he did not want to keep these people waiting for any longer than they had to, especially with them more or less seeing to it that they were looked after with tea and the like. With the food being as good as ready to be consumed, serving it would have to wait, as the time had come for him to make clear to all who had come to visit here today what he had in mind for this organization. Once he managed to get out what it was that he needed to say, they could all get a bit of food in them and be on their merry way, or so he figured things were likely to go.
“As you might know, the reason why I called for all of you was to bring up the idea of a new organization, one focused on strengthening this country in the only way possible. It will come as no surprise that my vision on how to achieve this goal is by focusing attention on the forsaken region.”
As the saying went, a chain was only as strong as the weakest link, meaning to make their country stronger, more versatile and generally better for everyone who lived within it. Believing this to not be the kind of thing he actually needed to bring up as the guy who liked tossing in sayings and the like, Griswold went right back into his storied.
“Since the forsaken region borders on the fringe, should any of the other countries wish harm upon us as some of them have in the past, it is this region that would get struck first. And with only two magic squads stationed within this area, the largest by far out of the three, the gradual increase of rogue activity has made it… difficult to keep up with everything.”
Over the past few months, Griswold had fought monsters, humans, demons and animals altered by mana alike, and most of the time, this took place within the forsaken region, and for good region. Most of the other regions had one or two magic squads more at their disposal than the forsaken did, which given the sheer distance one needed to cover to get the entire region under control made it impossible for just the green mantis and black bulls to be everywhere. And it was for that reason that this initiative of his had taken form, as the kind of help this region required went beyond that of just a magic knight squad. Hell, it went beyond the magic knights themselves. Requiring the aid of the people of the region itself, as well as the regions beyond it, of individual magic knights and civilians, as well as the aid of the rich to fund the cause. While the latter might be somewhat difficult, he believed himself to be in good company.
“While there might be some skepticism regarding a group existing out of magic knights and civilians arguably doing magic knight work, what we do under the banner of the Solarian Wolves will be on us, the good and the bad. As such, while following the law, we need to be willing to do what needs to be done. Whether it be rooting out criminals, handling monstrosities or threats from foreign countries or even the underworld, those who get on board will more than likely be getting their hands dirty.”
Not so much bringing up the matter of funding, Griswold imagined that by doing the work they did, eventually someone would pitch in to aid them in their crusade to clean up the forsaken region. And once they were done with the forsaken region, turning it into the place it deserved to be, they would get to move further south into the common region and so on. With a bit of luck, however, it would never need to come to that as others might step up to take care of it. Because at the end of the day, they were merely there to supplement the magic knights, not to replace them. But as Solarian Wolves, they wouldn’t be answering to any captains, a wizard king or a court of nobles. They would answer to themselves, following a set of rules of their own while also adhering to the law of the land to the best of their abilities. But if a rule had to be broken here or there at some point, if it served the greater good, than that was a sacrifice he was willing to make.
“If anyone has any questions, now would be the best time to ask them, as I’ll do my best to answer them.”

[attr="class","temppost"] Victoria was a bit taken back and confused at Hinota's words. She knew that she hadn't really done much to be of assistance during that circus dungeon but she still thought that she had made enough of an impression on the other two members of their group that she should have stuck out in their minds. "Hinota doesn't seem like the type to joke about something like that so is there something wrong with her." the blue rose knight thought. Given her body language, Victoria was inclined to believe that this was the case and decided that she wouldn't bring it up to her fellow plant mage so as to not cause any more distress to her; a point that was proven as Valo introduced himself and stated that Hinota was currently experiencing some memory issues. "It's is of no problem Sir Valo, I won't hold something that she can't control against her. We had only really met once and for a few hours honestly." Victoria said, giving Hinota a reassuring smile. "It just means that I get a chance to make a better first impression after all." she said in a joking tone, trying to ease any tension that may have unintentionally been created.
As everyone took their seats, Hinota spoke up and asked if she happened to have a da hong pa tea flavor. "Unfortunately I do not have that flavor." the wraith user said, her voice tinged with regret as Bacchus moved about the group, pouring a cup of black tea for his cousin before giving Victoria her chamomile tea. "I've had a bit of difficulty trying to get that shipped into the kingdom due to its rarity and price tag though I do have some Rougui tea if that's an appropriate alternative for you Lady Hinota." the Dubois heir offered, shuffling through her tea selections. Da hong pa was a rather rare tea flavor; one that Victoria herself had only gotten the chance to try out once before in her life. It hadn't been one of her favorites but she had enjoyed it enough that she wouldn't mind having the tea flavor in her cache. Sadly, due to its rarity, the price to ship it over to the clover kingdom had been something that her family had refused to sign off on at the moment meaning that she would have to make do with other alternatives until she hadn't been unable to obtain any due to their rarity and while her family was merchants, they didn't have the means to be able to order enough of the items though the magic knight hoped that things would be changing soon in that regard.
As she sat down, Victoria decided to ask what brought each of them to accept Griswold's offer. Hinota didn't seem to have a good idea as to why he was here; merely noting that Griswold wished to create an organization leaving the blond-haired teen to wonder if Griswold had been obtuse with explaining things to her or if this was another aspect of her memory issues. Given the fact that Valo reiterated her statement, she was more inclined to believe that Griswold had decided to be vague with his planning. "Though why he'd do that I'm not really sure," she mused as she looked at the spirit hanging around Valo. "Well Magnus and myself were informed of Griswold's desire to better the kingdom as a whole and I felt that as a noble, it was my duty to better the kingdom in any way that I can." she responded to Valo's question. "I'm aware that many of my fellow nobles wouldn't even bother to do something like this but I find them to be foolish for that thought." she said, shaking her head at that. Helping the commoners would only lead to helping them eventually but none of them seemed to be capable of thinking of the long-term effects of this or they were more focused on the trees rather than the forest as a whole.
Griswold would take control of the conversation at that point, directing everyone to the reason why he called them all out here. Victoria listened to the man's words, committing them to memory as he spoke. It was pretty much the same as he had told her during the mission they had taken in the Town of Silva so her answer hadn't changed from then. "It sounds like we'd essentially be a sort of vigilante group or did I miss the part where we have permission from the government to be allowed to do this?" she asked in a genuine tone. She was sure that some of the magic knight squads would have issues with them; either out of jealousy for showing them up or because they didn't like what they were doing. There were a few other things that she saw issues with but those could be fixed with better membership and organizing an information network so she wouldn't be bringing those up for now.

Each Squad has a different color Mantle along with their own squad logo as well.

This item is usually hangs from the waist.
A young noble is said to have insulted the fairy queen by starting to burn a field of rare flowers favoured by her people. They managed to defend most of them from being burned with the use of an ancient talisman that gave them the power to do so.
That changed nothing however as some of the flowers still had fairy children sleeping within them, vengence was saught, there was nothing that the man had that the fairies wanted. They were a people of nature, even if they weren't no amount of wealth or bartering would bring back those they lost.
The young noble was given a simple task, hold onto the amulet in his hand for one month and be within the heart of the forest; if the forest forgave his actions so would they. He done what was requested but little by little he was becoming weaker as the item sapped his mana from him until he finally perished. The fairy queen regained the item soon after with the simple words "Respect nature, as much it gives it can take away."

Hearing Valo speaking of her memory loss and asking for people to be patient with her due to this fact made her look to the ground and clench her sleeves. She knew it wasn't her fault and he was just explaining the situation so misunderstandings wouldn't happen but it didn't make her feel any better about the situation. "I... I am sorry..." she said her voice low almost as if she was ashamed or that she had let them down even if that wasn't the case. "I'm better than I was months ago..." she continued, there were things she was struggling with thanks to a certain rogue feeding her a bunch of lies. She knew eventually their paths would once again cross but she had no intention to be played for a fool or manipulated by him for a second time, although, she wanted to make sure that her memory was perfect before that point.
Her eyes turned to Agneya who confirmed the candy didn't taste right but it did taste good regardless "If that's the case my theory holds some merit, we'll need to keep testing until we find what tastes right, however, will you manage?" she said her voice playful as she brought up her sleeve covered hand to laugh lightly. She pondered what element the pair now possessed because of the flames still being there even if subtly it made it harder to pinpoint but they'd all figure it out together as they had been up to this point. She just smiled watching her eating the candy happily. "It is a pleasure to meet you again Elder Aurelius, I am sorry about my current condition. Valo and I are working hard to remedy the situation as quickly as possible but it has had a few setbacks." she honestly didn't want to go further than that on the matter.
She could tell by how both Magnus and Victoria had reacted they may have believed that she was playing with them, but with Valo filling them in, it was easy to see this wasn't any kind of joke. To be honest, she wished it was just a prank as he hated feeling like an imposter in her own life. "It seems I ended up entering the grand mana zone of shadow and got lost. I have the sensory and ki awareness of a grain of rice so it was doubly dangerous in there for me without an escort. From the little, I do remember it was a fall that caused my current condition but I still don't remember from how high or what caused it." she informed Magnus knowing he likely had questions on how this happened to her.
From what Valo had told her and from what she had seen with the use of her magic and what she could read of her grimoire she was a strong support mage only second to her squad's vice-captain apparently. She smiled happily at how excited he seemed even pouncing from his partner to come and gain some attention from her as he landed gently in her arms "Thank you, but Hinota or Hino is just fine." she said scratching gently behind his left ear. "Having to learn how to make incense, food and spirit food again was quite the trial but I've been getting the hang of things again." she said looking at Valo blushing remembering how their camp-like home smelt strongly of lotus, sandalwood, lavender and a whole host of other scents at one time or another while she learned balancing and how to make them to the strength she needed.
There were also the incidents where she inedible food for the three of them, the two had been courteous about it but she knew that they were trying to spare her feelings but she kept practising burying the evidence of her failed attempts. It wasn't because she was ashamed that she failed, she just believed that it would help the nature around them gain some nutrients. It was because of this her cooking was getting better but she knew it was likely still vastly below the quality she usually made but at least now it was edible. She had no idea what she was thinking doing this, she was a pacifist and her grimoire showed very little that could be of use to take down enemies but she would be able to at least defend and heal, she was hoping that much was enough to be of use.
It was infrequent but Luli and Junjie would visit the trio to make sure traditions were being followed, during that time she would be given a few hours of education in the hopes it would stir memories. If anything was requested they would also bring it with them. She could tell the pair didn't agree with her living in such conditions but it wasn't like they could do anything about it, they knew if she went to visit her family in her current condition she would never be allowed off the estate again so understood why their normal whereabouts were kept secret. They too had never told anyone, including their own father when he asked about her whereabouts. They knew the punishments they would face if they ever got caught in that lie but they had been taught that she was their priority and even put that above their own family now.
This was something that the raven-haired doll mage didn't know she just saw two people that wanted to help them and for that she was thankful. It was then that Griswold spoke explaining why they had gathered together that day. "Where I can see your point as the forsaken is on the borders to the fringe it isn't the only place that requires attention." she would finally say looking to the fire near her "Most of the populace is within the common region, even the noble region has a larger population than the forsaken region." she said knowing those facts were true. "That being said, the noble region is the best protected and would be the first to have defences called to it if there were an attack on all three regions at the same time due to the royal family being situated there." she said thoughtfully.
"The common region it all depends in honesty as the affluence fluctuates depending on where you call home." she continued, she knew that some places were wealthy but there were places like Kiten that were in danger thanks to being directly near the Diamond Kingdom's border. She even knew of Valo's past how he stole from Charlotte's vegetable garden when he was younger due to his own family struggling and it started the bond they have even now. "I don't pretend that the forsaken have it harsher than any other region but isolating the aid here alone seems almost narrow-visioned." she commented, she honestly didn't believe that one place alone should be getting help as their aid could help the kingdom a whole "If it was prioritising the forsaken rather than only helping here then I see no issue." she wasn't trying to cause issues just speaking her thoughts.
"I am not an offensive mage even if I can read battles as they unfold." she said looking at him "And I wouldn't do harm to another so there is also that to consider." she bit her bottom lip for a moment "I can heal and I can shield so that can help those injured and need protecting... I can also give the best ways to end battles with as little loss on both sides and I can deal with politics. These are the only things I can offer if I were to join." she commented rubbing the paint spirit's stomach lovingly. She had no idea if this would be of any use to him and his ideals "Could you explain how we would be following the law but would also be doing what needs to be done? There are going to be times those two ideals will clash." she said calmly.
"Then there's the funding something like this is going to need." her voice thoughtful on the matter "I can likely help get the financial backing through connections, although, they may want to see where their contribution is being spent." she said looking at him dead in the eye. She would help in her own way, this was clear but she also had lines she wouldn't cross and she didn't expect to be forced to do so regardless of the situation. She looked at Victoria when she said she didn't have the tea requested and looked a little disappointed but she understood as the tea was a very expensive one from her family's homeland "I will have some sent to you if you like." she would offer the other plant mage. She nodded at the offered substitute tea "I would enjoy that and so will accept your generous offer." she said contently.

"Don't need a reason to seek strength."
"Thank you, we have doubts her memory will return to her soon." Valo said to Magnus "We've been taking things slow. We wouldn't be here now if she didn't insist on it, but she forced my hand. So here we are." he said with a small smile. After that Magnus and Hinota hugged and he commented on how she always smelled so nice, which was true she always did. Valo did a quick sniff of himself, wondering if he smelled like girl now since he was always next to Hino.
Soon after that their meeting of sorts would begin. Valo took a seat on the ground, ready to listen. Griswold got straight to the point, explaining his thoughts. For quite some time Valo thought of himself as not only a magic knight, but one of the Forsaken regions protectors. Once Griswold started making a name for himself he was happy someone else started to take up that role as well. The Forsaken region is the least protected region in Clover and it's the easiest to attack and for rogues to roam free. Even with mages as strong as them, it was a hard task trying to rid it of all it's crime. But their presence alone did help. In short Valo was on board for this plan. Or this group rather. It was easy to convince him, being apart of the Forsaken region for a little while now.
"So a group to protect the Forsaken region from all threats huh? Welp I got no reason to not be apart of it." Valo replied folding his arms and smiling. "I'm in!" that was his simple and direct answer.
As for his much more intelligent other half, Hinota she asked the questions that needed to asked. Some that didn't even hit his mind at all. But thinking through things like this in a more logical sense was more her speed, the financials and politics of it all. Things like that honestly bored him, and he wouldn't even attempt to understand any of it. He had to thank his lucky stars he found Hinota who more or less handles all that.
"So do we have a...base of sorts?" he asked out loud.
