Amaya continued her walk as she was not going to keep standing around and listen to everyone bicker and whine. She didn't know where she was, who everyone was, why they talked the way they did. She didn't know why she was in this forest. She only knew she wanted to get home. She wanted to get back to her brother and her caretaker Jianyu. She wanted to get back to the one place that was safe. It was not nightmare fueled, it wasn't scary. It was home. She focused on her staff's shaft trying to ignore the nightmare fuel of the scene around her. It wasn't real. She heard the daemon talk as she looked around. Where was that voice coming from and who the enemy was. This was a bodiless voice that seemed amused with them. How dare it.
[break][break] It was then Amaya stopped in her tracks hearing three different forms of voices telling her to stop. First was the black haired male called Valo. She stopped purely for the fact that he mentioned how Hania wouldn't want her to be wandering on her own. Oh she has heard that so many times since the death of her parents. She didn't have her usual guard she did back then, she like the others of that night passed away from either the fire or the intruders. She was still getting use to having Jianyu being her male guard, her main caretaker that was tending to her and her two brothers needs. She turned to face him as she listened to his reasoning as it seems he understood how to relate but that didn't matter much else other then to get her to actually listen enough to stop moving.
[break][break] To Amaya, Her family was her world. They have done nothing but been kind and honest with her. Family is everything to a Ravencrest. Sure they were militaristic and she herself was learning to at least fight and defend if needed on top of her dancing, singing and all other studies she had. The adults never lied as honesty is what the girl knew from them. None of the adult's words have been lies. Hania has never lied to her. Sinclair and Iji have never lied to her, Jianyu never lied. They were the only ones she knew and trusted in the world. Sure clover was her home but from the event of two years ago. Everything and everyone was so much scarier even if she put on a brave front. "You are right Hania wouldn't want that, but then again Hania wouldn't want me in some blood covered forest of nightmares...I am never going to sleep again. Let alone trust anyone outside my family, the servants of my estate and my circle. You all keep calling out for us to listen in one step and in the other bicker with each other as if that is going to help. Pick a leader and stick to it." She said taking a deep breath closing her eyes. She then listened to Valo and Jirou have their minor arguments again over the girl for one reason or another, just a brother and a fiancée arguing. That was not anything knew as some of her own circle was engaged in one form or another.
[break][break] She turned her head towards the male called sol as she listened to him speak of Jianyu and how he will be scolded by Hania for losing her, for her wandering off on her own "No. I-I didn't wander off on my own. I-I don't know where I am or how I got lost. B-b-but that is not Jianyu's fault." She spoke in earnest pulling her hands closer to her chest as she looked towards them before looking around. She didn't want Jianyu to get scolded for her actions. She knew her mind often wondered and often she would go out to get new clothing or items with him for her tea parties with her circle. Even then it was hard to not wander off even if he was efficient of ensuring she was always within arm's length of him.
[break][break] "i-I'll stay with t-t-the group as long as we get back home." She studdered trying her best to keep from worrying and balling about getting Jianyu in trouble. She turned to joseph listening to his words as she shook her head. He was spewing lies. Fintan was on a long vacation. Those of the family spoke of such. He and his betrothed were on vacation and haven't came back yet. "No...YOU LIE." She shouted her eyes growing cold and serious as she spoke. " Uncle Fintan is on Vacation with his betrothed. The adults of my family stated such. They have never lied to me. Yalin? Burning crimson? Who is that? All you are saying is lies and if I didn't trust you already, I certainty will not trust someone speaking of murder when they knew nothing about death or seeing it right infront of them." She spoke in a serious tone tightening her grip on her staff.
[break][break] Why was he speaking lies. A child like him surely didn't know anything about death. She had seen it first hand. Or well she was told of it. It had been two years since the lost of both of her parents that died protecting her, by falling on top of her upon their deaths. Where her manabeast stayed over their bodies keeping the flames away with his wind, only causing them to fan outward destroying the vacation home they were once staying in. She had no recollection or recalling of the night or the week before. It might have been two years but the knowledge of her parents dying to protect her from the intruders. She had a lot of survivors guilt and missed them greatly. She shook her head wiping her eyes feeling some tears swell up from the thought of that night, of the memories she couldn't access. She didn't know why those of that night wasn't accessible. She had heard sometimes a body can decompartmentalize such massive trauma to making an amnesia in an attempt to save itself. Or it could be from the head injury she received from where the now scar was seen. No one had answers or knew when or if that night will ever come back to the princess or not. Part of her wanted to know. then the other part of her knew no amount of knowing was going to change what happened. They were gone. They were never coming back. It was her fault.
[break][break] She then opened her eyes hearing the male called Zaven call out to them of basically the same thing as Valo before seeing him summon a massive shadow like golem. Amaya watched the towering golem as her eyes widen in fear at it before she let out a scream as loud as she could stepping backwards, tripping over her own feet falling back into the blood red mud, not even hearing Joseph's call of there possibly being traps. Her heart was racing at the sight of the shadowy golem towering over her as she stopped moving back feeling a tree against her back as she curled up. "I WANT TO GO HOME!" she cried in fear covering herself with her staff and the umbrella, just wanting to hide. it was more then a scared response. she may not understand but such a shadowy golem awoken a fright response form the knowledge of that night, the of the shadowy figures of that night, whether she knew it or not. "I want back in my bedroom. I want out of this nightmare. I will never leave the estate again I swear." She cried
[break][break] She heard sol and Joseph jump the one named Zaven about the choice of golem while hearing sol speak of something being safe to stay by as she prepared around her umbrella scrambling to her shaking feet as she moved over to sol and his golem. Moving behind him as she clung to his shirt. She was fighting what tears and screams of fright she could from the golems but this situation was of nothing but nightmares and lies to the small princess.
[break][break] Aoiveae Isro is a one point Seven meter-long staff made of an unusual pale blue metal of unknown origin, with a unique ornate top making it seem almost spear-like, it is not until the owner channels mana through the staff that its true majestic form is seen. Inside of the staff, the bluish metal seems to become almost transparent and magical energy can be seen going up it, in fact, the energy is so condensed it's almost like electricity can be seen dancing up the length of the staff. From the top that was once seen as a spear tip, a circle engulfs it and from the sides, a set of wings are seen almost like an aurora. [break] Lore: [break]
Junior Lore:[break] The true origin and creator of Aoiveae Isro remains unknown, even its history to this day remains quite the mystery though it was discovered several hundred years ago. As it was found in the broken-down ruins of a temple within the Aristaeus’ Basin close to the border of the heart kingdom it is believed that it must have held some ritualistic importance. This relic was originally bought from the black market by a noble with the intention of placing it up for auction, this noble doesn't wish to be named due to the method they gained access to the relic and has every intention of giving the proceeds of the sale to the church anonymously. [break] Intermediate Lore:[break] It is only through meditation and inner peace can the true power within be found. The energy feels different, it is almost like a completely different mana swirls within the weapon, it's weak but fluctuates mirroring the owner's own emotions and turmoil, there is no understanding as to what this could mean but it feels like a breakthrough is very close... although for now very much out of reach. [break] Senior Lore:[break] Inner peace and acceptance has now began to settle in to both the owner of the staff and the staff itself. A mutual understanding has been reached and so the staff itself no longer become cumbersome to it's owner almost changing its size to be perfectly fitting. It is almost as if the staff is alive with its own soul as it clearly didn't want to allow itself to be used by someone it deemed unworthy of its power. [break] Grand Lore:[break] ~Get the relic to Grand to unlock~ [break] Dive Lore:[break] With understanding and introspection the wielder can almost hear the voice within, the past memories of the one who held the staff at the very beginning of its creation. Its true potential finally reveled as the staff once belonging to a spirit user. The first memory seen was the pact that they would never part come what may as they both placed a small portion of their life's mana into the staff. An oath that has held strong even now centuries later.

As this is an unusual relic it comes with an equally unusual ability but it comes with a bit of work to unlock. You are required to do a thread of 6,000 words where you come to not only understand the energies within the relic but unlock its hidden secret; that it is capable of a partial spirit dive, and will allow you to have up to three small aesthetic changes while in this form. (The training must be approved like a normal partial dive) You are unable to access this dive ability before the relic reaches senior, the dive will be active for three rounds and it will be five rounds before you would be able to enter it once more, at grand it will allow you to enter the partial dive for four rounds but you will not be able to enter it again for six rounds. You are able to go to the spirit system and choose three abilities you will be able to access while in the partial daemonic dive. As with spirit dive, there are drawbacks that you will receive when the dive is on cooldown. This includes -5 m/s physical speed, -5 mana regeneration, -5 Debuff in Power, Durability , Control, Sensory and you will only be able to access intermediate or below spells. [break][break] In addition to the above abilities, they will find that their spells will have a number of boons and weaknesses to them. [break][break] Boons:[break] - Once every second round the mage may heal naturally one rank below their character rank free of charge, this increases to twice per round at grand.[break] - Able to redirect incoming attacks if the owner's control is +10 than the opposing mage's power stat, lowering to only needing +5 at grand rank, this is only applied if your spell is of equal rank or higher than the opposed one. This can only occur once every three posts. [break][break] Weaknesses:[break] - Unless within a dual specialized spell knock-back will automatically be attached to attack creation spells[break] - Spells cost 20% additional mana from the natural base amount of mana

Though hard the young girl managed to hide the bracelet from her kidnappers. She was kept in isolation although she had no idea as to why, eventually she grew and was able to wear the bracelet finding it heightened her sensory but there was more to it, it was almost like she could hear a voice instructing her.

What happened after that no one knows but somehow the bracelet ended up in the Clover Kingdom.
The accepted owner of the Enigmatic Sentry is granted the Puppet Master perk while wearing the bracelet.

[attr="class","tamaflowersscroll"] The floral mage gripped onto her brother's clothing, she was shaking everything was scaring her. These people were complete strangers, and she had no idea what any of them were saying, making this whole experience that much more jarring for the young girl. She could tell there was discontent amongst everyone, especially Jirou and the man she believed to be his friend as he said that he promised to protect her. The man was new to the language but he was at least trying to converse with her which made the scared little girl smile as it meant that she could converse with someone other than her big brother. She didn't fight as he held her close after she had screamed at the nightmare-inducing goose golem. "É é é. Bǎ nǐ de bózi shēn xiàng tiānkōng chànggē, nǐ báisè de yǔmáo piāofú zài píngjìng de shuǐmiàn shàng." she said reciting the poem but her wording was different from that of Jirou's [break][break] "Nǐ de shuāng jiǎo zài qīngchè píngjìng de shuǐmiàn shàng huà jiǎng, wèi wèilái chuàngzào huíshēng. É é é. Bǎ nǐ de bózi yǎng xiàng tiānkōng gēchàng, nǐ jiébái de yǔmáo piāofú zài píngjìng de shuǐmiàn shàng." she finished, it helped her calm quite a bit, she had even begun smiling shyly, she didn't even mind that her brother hadn't answered her previous questions, she was a girl and was often ignored if it wasn't seen as something important. She flinched hearing and seeing the harshness from her brother once more, she was scared and confused she didn't know what was going on "Jìróu wèishéme shēngqì? Yǒurén huài ma?" she would ask her older brother, she was trying to make some sense of what was going on but she knew better than to get involved in big boy things so went quiet. [break][break] She hugged him as she was hugged back and smiled up at him as her forehead was kissed, out of all her family it was Jirou who gave her the most physical contact especially when she needed it. She listened to his words and shook her head to his words "Bù, wǒ bùxiǎng bèi jiē zǒu. Wǒ kěyǐ zìjǐ pǎo!" her voice was timid as she spoke as she knew better than to talk back to her big brothers but she wasn't wanting to be picked up and carried even if they needed to run, it made her panic. She knew she would have no say regardless of whether she got picked up or not, it wasn't as if she was as strong as her brother, then again it was drilled into her even then that she shouldn't fight, that wasn't her job but a boy's. [break][break] She was to remain dainty and delicate like a good girl, that was how she would be a good match for a husband. It was then she saw what was a mammoth of a golem to someone her age and size made out of pure shadow and screamed her head off tears falling from her eyes as she gripped onto Jirou. She thought it was her punishment for being bad and talking back, she was trembling in her brother's arms her face buried in his chest. "Duìbùqǐ! Duìbùqǐ! Wǒ huì zuò yīgè hǎo nǚhái gēgē, bùyào ràng guàiwù bǎ wǒ dài zǒu!" she seemed as if she was ready to have a complete mental breakdown as she sobbed, it was clearly too much for her in her current mindset. Right now, she didn't trust anyone or anything other than her brother, even as the world tree golem got close and offered its hand she could only sob. [break][break] Seeing the only other girl reacting as she was she hesitantly moved over to her and took her sleeve bringing her back to Jirou "Lǎo dàgē huì bǎohù wǒmen de ānquán" she said between sobs she remembered where she didn't understand any other, they likely didn't understand her. She pointed to Jirou, then to the two of them and made a bunch of petals in front of them like a shield so she might understand. She hoped that Jirou would tell her what she had said since he seemingly spoke their language. "Lǎo dàgē nǐ néng jiào wǒ tāmen de yǔyán ma?" she would ask him trying to concentrate on things that would help her calm down. It was then something caught her eye to the east. It was pretty and being as young as she was and wanting a distraction from all the darkness she grabbed the only other girl in the group's sleeve and ran in the direction of the pretty thing she could see "Kàn! Kàn! Hǎo piàoliang a!" she said her voice was still shaking in fear but there was a child like excitement.

[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.

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.

[break][break] Valo had opened a line of communication to the eldest male of Lilith's brood, he confirmed that he indeed was one out of two voices of reason within the forest, even informing the group that Amaya was about to walk herself right into danger. He also took a shot at Zaven's tactics stating that he was going to put the girls in danger doing things that way. Those who trained on the Blake estate would already know that this daemon was cunning and calculated outcomes in advance as he was a tactician himself so could and would call out flaws in others. It seemed as if Zaven himself didn't like the fact that the daemon had done this and tried to insult the man. Though the group couldn't see it the daemon did roll his eyes, to him Zaven was nothing more than a little boy trying to play leader. [break][break] "Little boy you have not a leg to stand on when it comes to calling what I say nonsense when you have no idea what you are doing." he said his voice calm. "Lest you forget, it wasn't I or even my crazed sister who almost killed one of your allies on your estate but your own amateurish actions, it is hard to believe you are, in fact, a captain." he said not caring if those who were in the dark previously knew. "As for me just being a voice that calls out, at least I didn't abandon my team so I could have a temper tantrum or even have my partner threaten to leave me because I was so self-absorbed that I got stronger but they were remaining the same." he continued "Every daemon knows what happens in this forest and I'm going to request you don't destroy any more trees." his tone was neutral as he spoke. [break][break] Personally, he didn't care if the forest was destroyed he saw it more as a prison than anything else but he was a dutiful son to his mother and wouldn't go against her will. The daemon heard Valo's question "Our language is difficult for your kind but the literal translation is Moon." he informed the aura mage "Also, are you wanting the quickest or the safest because these things are entirely different." he reminded the dark-haired mage. As the daemon was talking to Valo, Zaven decided to call his golems out scaring both girls, though no one could see it the frustration in the air was palpable almost as if those watching were face-palming at what had gone on so far. "And you lot have survived how?" a female voice asked in disbelief. [break][break] "The one who seemed to have this group's brain cell is a child who can't speak or understand a word of what is going on." another voice pointed out "So pathetic, they've still nor learned." the female voice replied it almost sounded disappointed. The daemons were happily having a conversation as if the group wasn't there, then again they were little more than nats. While everything was going on Joseph overshared with Amaya freaking her out and causing her to completely distrust the peach-haired man and Jirou was having a conversation with his sister who he was trying to comfort while trying to get her to obey his wishes and she did to a certain extent. Zaven was trying to get people to listen to him but Sol called him out not only for using golems that would obviously scare two sheltered girls but for his wording that he and Valo would protect the group. [break][break] "Two things." Elysi's voice would now be heard. "First, Lord Blake I would suggest watching how you speak to those in your command or you will end up with a mutiny, they already seem displeased with you thus far." he warned the shadow mage, his wording had caused Hino to yell at him and segregated the group as he made it sound as if the majority were less than he and one other. "Please don't take your captain's word to heart, I believe given the circumstances he is on edge." he said making an excuse for the man. "I believe that he commented on himself and Valo as they are full offensive mages while the majority of you seem to dabble in a little bit of everything bar Miss Yuiee who seems to be a full support." he explained to the rest of the group he did seem irritated as he spoke but given the situation it would be understandable "It stands to reason they would be the best to take point." Moon would add. [break][break] "Though tactically one should take point and the other should take the rear, then at least one of the more versatile mages should stay with the children while the others take the flank each side." he said not caring if his advice was followed or not. Sol brought out golems and sent them towards the girls and where it seemed to calm the angelic mage quite a bit the scared floral mage went to Amaya and brought her close to Jirou and said something realizing she wouldn't understand she tried her best through charades to show that Jirou would protect them but then something caught her eye and she grabbed Amaya's sleeve and ran towards it. "Elysi" Moon would ask "Yes Zaeaer?" he would reply "What did you do?" he would ask "Nothing too drastic." he said not answering the question asked of him. "Elysi..." Moon would sound less than impressed by his answer "If you want to know brother come and find me, until then I will not tell you." when he uttered the word brother there was a clear disgust in his voice which held for the rest of the sentence. [break][break]
[attr="class","header2"]GM Notes
[break] [break][break] The group is still very much in disarray for several reasons. Zaven was trying to regain control, however, he was failing as two others attempted to be the voices of reason and order, it also didn't help that some words and actions had scared or rubbed members up the wrong way. The daemon called 'Moon' had pointed out Zaven's flaw while giving possible tactics to keep the vulnerable of the group safe. Two of the women were discussing how the group had survived so long that they seemed hopeless. Joseph would recognise one of the voices as his mother. Elysi attempted to cool his family member's ire by giving an excuse for Zaven's wording. By the end of this conversation the girls had ran off after seeing something pretty and Elysi and Moon were clearly at odds with one another. The decision now is do you follow the girls or attempt to stop them. [break][break] While they have all become younger they do have their memories up until that point and they have their personalities in check... well except the girl's they will react as they did at that current age. In addition to all of this, they have access to all their spells, however, regardless of rank they are all considered junior rank although their normal ranks mana cost and sustain will be applied, if they want to make their spells stronger they will be 25% of the charge added per rank above junior (This means that an intermediate spell will cost 25 ¦ 13, a senior spell will cost 45 ¦ 23, a grand spell will cost 88 ¦ 44 and an archmage spell will cost 160 ¦ 80 if you want the actual power behind the spell they chose) and will hit for a maximum of 1/2 junior damage without a spell helping them become stronger.

Valo Stark
"Don't need a reason to seek strength."
Jirou continued to ramble on about how Valo disrespected his culture, and honestly Valo had moved on from going back and forth with him. It was clear Jirou was just an unlikeable person whom wasn't going to work well with others, the aura mage didn't have time to continue going back and forth with him over things that did not matter right now. All Valo needed to know was that he was going to do his best in protecting Hinota while she was in this child like state of mind, and that was it. Valo walked away from Jirou as he was rambling on, leaving him to ramble by himself he was no longer going to entertain it.
Zaven spoke after Valo and basically said very similar things to Valo's own words. Valo was not trying to take lead by force, honestly he didn't want the position. He much rather take the position of just being the offensive force that he is, but it was clear Zaven was off his game. And the team was not responding to him well, his approach continued to be to aggressive and not clear enough for them. So if Zaven's mindset was completely honed in on leading them, someone had to step up and Valo would continue to be that person until it was no longer needed. Despite all this though, his confidence had not wavered one bit and his outlook continued to be bright.
The Blake summoned a golem for extra protection for the group, some saw this as a mistake. But Valo didn't think it was as big a deal as the team were making it out to be. Sol and Joseph didn't gave Zaven a piece of their mind about summoning a golem and scaring the two girls. Amaya and Hinota were scared of the golem that he created in order to protect them. "They are scared of golem magic?" Valo spoke to himself, he was more surprised than anything on how the two girls were reacting.
His words had managed to get to Amaya Ravencrest once she heard Hania's name, so Valo's guess was on point when it came to her. Most noble families were the same in this aspect, the aura mage was disgusted in himself that he had come learn that over time. He didn't care at all for noble families and their family trees. But because of his friends, allies and rivals he knew most of them because of their strength and capability. It was then he realized he was surrounded by nobles and royalty, all of them. Sol, Amaya, Hinota, Zaven, Joseph and Jirou all came from noble and royal backgrounds. He was the only commoner there, honestly it wasn't that big a deal at all. But he did find this a tiny bit annoying. Then he started to smile thinking about it, he wanted to laugh but it wasn't the place nor the time.
Sol and Joseph had taken Zaven's words as a little disrespectful. Valo suggested he should take the point for a few reasons, it wasn't only because of his offensive strength. But it was also because Sol and Joseph had more utility than he did and they were closer in ties to Amaya and Hinota so the girls would have an easier time trusting them then Valo or Zaven. "Guys I don't think Zaven meant it that way, he's not saying you guys are not powerful it's because you both have more usage in protection and utility for the girls compared to me or Zaven. Whereas me and Zaven our strength is more on the offensive and right now those two wouldn't listen to a word me or Zaven have to say hahaha." Valo spoke to Sol and Joseph and started to chuckle a little bit.
Valo was getting tired of the bickering, the back and forth, and the finger pointing among the team. It seemed their focus right now was to overly criticize one another, and it was going past holding each other accountable. They weren't going get far doing this all the time, he already said that they needed to trust each other. Valo wasn't going to repeat himself, they needed to put the action behind the words. The Daemons voice came again, this time his focus on was Zaven. Zaven was getting a lot of the heat for recent and past choices, the shadow was tough though. He would bounce back Valo was sure of it. Especially since it was Valo who took the brunt of the attack that Zaven used, the aura mage honestly laughed about it nowadays.
The Daemon then answered Valo's questions, his name was 'Moon' at least for now. An odd name indeed, but a name nonetheless. "I request the safest route, given the situation we can't risk taking the quickest route if it has allot more danger." Valo replied to Moon. Then another voice Valo wasn't familiar with was heard, he spoke as if he was already familiar with the group. Valo assumed they all had already interacted with this voice. This voice was adding on and commenting on the situation. Valo was the first to suggest he take point, and Zaven take the rear. Elysi and Moon also said the same thing, it did seem that Valo's words fell on deaf ears though.
It was then that Hinota started to follow something, Valo didn't react instantly to try and stop her. Jirou was with her he was sure the brother wouldn't just her run around without protection. Valo paid more attention to the words between Elysi and Moon, it seemed like Elysi was doing this to lead them in a certain direction. The aura mage was wondering if he should trust Elysi along with Moon. "Don't overreact everyone, we follow Hinota and what she sees chasing, it may lead us somewhere." Valo said keeping pace with Hinota as she followed whatever she was seeing.

[attr="class","jirouimage"]"I sometimes think of the little people. Wondering what it feels like to be the ants beneath a boot... I never quite figured it out though."
[attr="class","jirouscroll"] It happened so quickly. Jirou had turned his back to her, just long enough to attempt to explain to the others about what he had spoken of. Normally he wouldn’t of helped them, hed have let valo get hurt. But between everything that had been happening with the group he had begun to realize hinota couldn’t defend herself properly and as such he worried if any spell or attack they used would be harmful to her. He didn’t trust anyone here. He had grown up hearing the stories of daemons. How they could take over a body at any time. He knew of course it had to be a spell of some kind to do that but be that as it may it left him paranoid. Yet when the group had finally stopped to talk and figure out what to do with this strange crypt he couldn’t help but feel a bit of selflessness was over him, a feeling of comfort that he didn’t need to jealously and harshly keep hinota from the group. Perhaps Valo could…
That’s when Hinota opened the doors. He had first heard the stone moving and he turned toward it only to see his sister rush up the stairs. He moved without word, having perhaps the highest speed of the group, hed still miss her as he tried to grab her in a hug. His fingers missed by millimeters and yet that was all it took for her to slip through and his arms left hugging himself. The young prince was silent as valo had arrived right behind him at almost the same time. Had jirou gotten there first? Or Valo? Either way… they both missed her. He shuddered and as he was knelt there hugging himself he couldn’t help but shred tears. But he didn’t make a sound. Not a single wimper or noise. It was only when he heard the new voice that he was brought to his mind. Or at least something like it.
Hed stand up. Staring at the door. Tears streaming down his face as he looked at the door. How could he have let her get away? How…. she was his baby sister and hed only turned away for a second to help the group. Yet that selfless act had cost him the one thing he loved more in this world then himself. Now she was sealed in the stone before him. Hed hear valo and the group speaking but if any tried to talk to him he was out of their world. His mind was so intently focused he didn’t hear them talking. He was too busy trying to function correctly. To keep his mask from falling off and shattering against the ground. Hed step back from the stucture and hed not kneel at it like his sister had. The stone was that of royalty. It was that of noble imperial blood and life and legend. He would not have it act against his will. Yet he stopped before he could do anything.
What if he hurt hinota? What if she was already dead? He had no way to tell if she was, but Valo had Ki so no doubt hed be able to feel if she was dead or not. Hed turn to speak and that s when hed see the wraiths. Hed remain quiet, his anger and disgust growing for Valo by the second. So he turned back around unwilling to work with someone who would so blatently use such dirty and disgusting magic. Hed had been about to ask for help, to beg for someon to help him return his sister. Yet seeing Valo use that magic made him once more distrustful. For all his evil he refused to use wwraith magic in any way shape or form. It was taboo, wrong, and a missuse of life. Hed think back and turn to see joseph and Zaven and the rest of the group. “…..Enough is enough.” hed whisper to himself before hed breath to calm himself and hed turn back to the masoleum. Hed make his way to the door and begin to speak into it. Revealing his name and his true families bloodline origin. Hed touch his hand to the door and hed will his mana into it.
“Wèi wǒ dǎkāi……wèi [yǐ biānjí] zhīzǐ chǎngkāi, fǒuzé qǐng bāngzhù wǒ, tiāntáng hé dìyù de fènnù jiāng huì bèi xùnfú. Wǒ shì yóuyī èrláng, nǐ jiāng wèi wǒ dǎkāi nǐ de dàn zǐsè yù mén.” hed speak to the door quietly. Just quiet enough for himself to hear. Hed will the door to open, hoping his true nature would make it open and hed be able to rescue his sister.
Translation:
“Open for me…. Open for the Son of [Redacted], or so help me the wrath of heaven and hell will be tame. I am Jirou Yuiee, and you will part your lavender jade doors for me."
[attr="class","zavenreescroll"] The daemon spoke out and yes it DID aggravate the child form of Zaven, and honestly he was pissed off because he completely just wanted to push forward, and take on his enemies…and win. With all who spoke though, that called him out…he wanted to say something and move as a leader, but as the captain of the Golden Dawn…and how the man learned rather bad…he needed to resort and also become better here. Yet the daemon spoke and pushed verbally about the moments the team suffered on his estate, and how he was acting now. He gave a nod and experienced a moment, but he did not let this bring him down. No what he saw was movement of Valo and then the issues that Zaven had caused, the other movement of the other golem summoned and all together…He needed to become a part of the moment. ”I know I moved, acted, and tried, but I gathered anger from you and the others here. I was trying to think so I could put them in a safer moment and movement. For what you have said, the way I tried to ask was stupid, but I still tried to act as if there could not be an issue no matter how I acted or looked and have said out loud now and still more. I must...no I have to thank you for your words, even though I think that I will stop you finally…and very soon. I hope I can fix things here first instead.” It was then he dismissed the golem after seeing the two little girls run, and even Valo and Jirou moved their own ways. He saw his way of action since he came back was like he just…fucking missed something. [break][break]
After Valo’s movement and question was answered in a way that caused more thinking to go into his head he had already falling back down into the forest floor, his little kid form was rather kind of reminding him of his past and he smiled. He then listened and then thought once more that he knew that there was issues in which had already thought. As the team looked out for the females, and there was an issue caused With Joseph even though there was a move o which he was seen and spoken better about in which he did not react or answer even more so showing he now felt correct amongst them for one…or at all with the team. Sol spoke and also reminded him of the training time at the estate, everything was brought as words to him, and he was ready to fix this. He did not speak much at all as the daemon voice came back, calling out to the golem again to which he knew he had fucked up and then just canceled it…the wasted mana because of how he properly did not go with. He needed this though from the team, for who they were…fighting and being pushed on by, his movements to come back to it all, and his dumbass that had been helpless was causing a scene once more. He wanted the team together, even with Valo as well as he was putting through movements to ensure that they would leave. Then the daemons continued even more, he understood the mistake…just as he was already plugged in everything, he came up with a small talk as the team was likely moving. [break][break]
”Thank you for all of what was said, and I am saying that to everyone. Even though I was brought in as the leader for this issue, and I have showed that I have been…either not ready or not coming over what I have done since being away from everyone, andstead of the other things I could have actually been to help. Valo, right now you...are showing a great value and I thank you for how you are speaking. I am showing that us small kids can move and get past the shi…issues we have created, or have fallen into.” He said at the beginning and he noticed it wasn’t far and the movements have been moving through very quickly. ” Sol I know we can do this, let us all get the girls back and ready. How about we play a small game of…tag, because I think with that we can get everyone moving, and in my thinking we can…set up a movement and placing just like how we were told. Including we can find the answer and possibly move in an orer where we can move to where we can all be turned back to who we need to so we can continue to go further.” He said this and looked to everyone, even giving all the movements in hand so Joesph would have a knowing of what he said as well. One more set of words as he held his hands out and moved towards the others properly. ” If what I had said was not a sensible way to go, I think we should react and get ourselves a better movement. I am going to appologize to the girls, and give them a small…magic-ish fun movement, and have Sol or even any of you that can speak to them. To tell them I am sorry for my saddening and bad looking giant.” He said and gave a smile and waited for further word or if they thought his idea was actually good, and that he had actually come back from his stupid nonsense. Because, everyone should possibly see that the captain was ready to do better, or at least fix the relationships with others in a way that could help them all move to get through it all. That was a pretty wide and long shot, but he meant the new words that he said. His movement and the voice of the once static adult sounded like a kid and was a rather…softy person. What he said was not even practically a dismissal or ignorance of what he was told through the daemons.

As Amaya was frightened by the golem that Zaven had summoned and latched onto him he held her close to comfort her “shh its ok Amaya I wont let anything happen to you” he said softly hoping that it would help keep her calm as his golems remained nearby to help support not only her but Hinota as well, this situation was already bad but the fact that the girls were easily scared made it even more difficult, as Valo questioned the fear of golems to himself Sol looked at him “Valo the golem is made of shadow and huge combined with this environment a child would be terrified” he explained before he heard Hinota speaking but it seemed she was still not talking in english and he sighed before looking to her brother , “jirou what is she saying we need you to be the translator” he said to him it wasnt an order but he was asking his tone showing that it was important as something being lost in translation could be dangerous or even fatal for the group. He blinked as he heard the daemon now identified as Moon rip into Zaven calling him out on the fact that it wasnt he and his sister that nearly killed someone but the captain due to his own actions, Sol resisted the urge to wince at that comment as it was he that nearly lost his life due to his captains stupidity.
The voice they heard again switched between two female voices and as the one seemed to insult them by thinking that only Hinota had the brain cell between all of them Sols eyes hardened'funny how they seem to love mocking us when we are at a clear disadvantage and have a handicap' he thought sourly clearly not pleased with the arrogance these two had but he kept his face impassive as he knew that it didnt help to get angry beside with any luck they would get even with them soon enough, as Elysi would be heard and mention to Zaven he needed to watch how he spoke or he risked a mutiny the Delothosin mentally agreed as there was already strain in the group if Zaven pushed too hard then he would lose leadership. While he knew that he was a foe Sol did find some comfort in hearing Elysis voice as he nodded in understanding as he as well as Valo explained that he was likely meaning that he and valo were the only two mages that were purely offensive compared to the others.
“a fair point” he conceded before he heard Zaven comprehending that they try to get the girls back as they had started to move towards something shiny and Sol shook his head.”respectfully sure it might be better to follow the two they may be younger but something tells me that whatever they saw might be a clue and the formation that was suggested is optimal as well though I would suggest I take middle to help the girls” he explained as he quickly moved to follow the two girls staying by Amayas side as he made his golems move with them, he would look to Amaya before speaking “I'll be right by your side so stick close ok” he said making sure to comfort her and keep her calm since it seemed his presence was one that she trusted so he would make sure she could rely on him, he tried to see ahead to figure out what the shiny thing ahead was and if by chance it as a gemstone like they had seen before then he would try to figure out its color so they could react accordingly.while Sol could still feel drain of the golems on his mana he was still doing alright and knew that he needed to rely on his world tree element over his decay right now since his decay magic was taxing normally but with needing to push more mana into his spells the darker element would be dangerous to use more then just once or twice right now so the red eyed man had to be smart about how he used such things.
Combat Summary

Corrupting Shadow
Rank & Element: Junior ¦ Shadow Class & Type: Relic ¦ Weapon (Sword) Magic Specializations: Attack Creation ¦ Sensory Appearance & Lore:
An ornate katana with a twenty-four-inch (60 cm) blade. the sheath is made of what seems to be made of marble which has been carefully carved into and engraved with what looks like ruby, the base of the sheath has a gold kojiri. Just above the midway point, there seems to be a piece of onyx that has been set around the sheath, the top and bottom of the onyx seems to have the same white marble though it has been fashioned to look almost like fur or feathers. Connected to the onyx there seems to be additional ruby fastenings with ruby chains connecting one part to the next, near the top there is a ruby set in gold that leads off to three carmine red tassels. The handguard seems to be made out of gold leading into the hilt a hilt that is just under half the size of the blade that covered in lackered red marble before being surrounded in black ribbon with gold helm and small ruby beads at each crossing pattern of the ribbon.
The corrupting shadow was made using an unknown method outside of a certain noble family within Clover. This family has been shunned by many other noble houses because of their appearances and they macabre magic that they are born with so choose to remain in the forsaken region instead of the noble. Not a lot is known about this secretive family, it's hierarchy or its family mechanics and they aim to keep it that way, it allows them to continue doing what they are without too many questions being asked. One thing people will notice of this family is that when they pass their trial of adulthood they start wielding a weapon of some sort and how the dynamics of the family will change to that person.

How well Joseph handled an emotional situation that wasn't something he had studied about before depended on a few things. Previously when he had horribly dropped the ball, it had been fine because he had been with adults that were able to handle that fine. When he had spoken about why he found the look of true killing intent terrifying far more than anything related to somethings appearance to Sol, the friend was fine. That friend was an adult that could handle seeing the look of pure unadulterated evil and killing intent and Joseph in turn had learned to never do that again unless he was sure it was fine. Amaya was in the mind state and memory of a child, so of course dropping the ball here wouldn't end well. Another person probably would have realized it before it got to such a point, but he wasn't that other person. He had realized only after her explosion that she had shown other signs that she wasn't capable of handling the truth, even if it was watered down and missing a lot of details. Even at his stupidest and most shoe in mouth moments he would never share quite a bit of information on his childhood to an actual child.
It doesn't matter that Fintan had a wife, not a betrothed. Amaya didn't and wont know that, because the wife was the one who had him killed. The burning crimson was the one that decided he was getting a bit too close to grabbing her property, which is never really a good way to consider a child nor a valid reason to murder your husband. If there was a different reason for her doing it, then it wasn't one written anywhere. He was aware the reasoning that had been found could be falsehoods as it was part of a back and forth paper trail between a woman and the group she was hiring. People lie all the time, especially when they don't want the truth to be revealed. This would have been a mess that would be paved over rather than vaguely addressed by the adults at the Ravencrest estate it seemed. Why not if they thought Joseph was dead, along with Fintan? They could just tell Amaya when she was older, if she even asked about it later in life as an adult. He had seen a lot of people he considered family die. His adoptive father John Cobborn had been well loved by many medical experts and had close sibling like relationships with a few of those people, normal close friendships with other ones.
John could have likely stopped his mind from breaking if things hadn't played out the way it did. Those friends where killed specifically when they were watching Joseph to try to give their father time to get his mind back together. There was a time he didn't remember what he had done to try to get away from a terrifying man in a terrifying place, only to fail getting away and watch what were very likely the last few moments of Fintans life before being pulled back and having bad things done to him. There was a time he had forgotten his entire childhood, his mind and the drugs he had been given both working to wipe that out. He had worked on himself and improved enough mentally that the memories had started to return, starting while he was stuck in terror on an island of corpses. None of these details were things that could be details to a child, nor should it. ~I'm stupid for not realizing how badly this would go. While I don't know where Fintans corpse is, I'm mostly positive its not in this forest. At least none of the lies she needs to believe in will hurt her if uncorrected, I think.~ He didn't see a reason why his mom would have his fathers corpse, even as a deamon.
Her old magic had been song with a fire oddity. It was likely different, but not anything that involved dead bodies. He was someone warped enough to find his golem carnation cute, even if he was mindful enough to know others wouldn't. Mother gooses appearance felt comforting to him, like a protective and well trained warrior with a soft body. Note to him was a cute little musical scout that was a strong reminder of something he loved dearly, music. None of them were designed to be scary, but to be a comfort and joy to him while remaining functional. Mother goose was his first spell that involved vocalization, showing an inner growth that he was proud of. He wasn't the small child that saw terrible things and had bad things done to them but could do nothing about it anymore. Even if he didn't physically look that way at the moment. “Sorry for not realizing what I saying would hurt you, I wont speak on that subjects anymore.” A white lie would be better, but the apology was at least vague enough to allow the mind to assume whatever it wanted of those words. Was that good or bad? Likely bad, which was one of the reasons why lying would have been better.
It was better if Amaya didn't know the person who gave him the umbrella had been beheaded along with her husband. It was not a sentimental item to him, items couldn't bring people back. If it was destroyed, he could just buy another with a similar pattern later. It wasn't unique, nor magical in any form. The lacquered paper was thick and crafted for the specific use of holding up against the rain. There were many made in that exact fashion. At least Jirou seemed a lot better with children and had managed to calm their sister. Well, that was how it seemed, but there was no way to know entirely when he didn't understand what they were saying. What the deamon said, it made him wish there was a direction to turn to. Did Zavens spirit threaten to leave him? That was the only thing he could think 'partner' to mean. It was annoying that the deamons spoke about them like the group wasn't there, but it made sense. “I think Jirou and Sol are better with children than me, which honestly makes sense. I'm going to summon my golem Note and keep its mouth closed. I will stay to the left, but we do need to start moving.” He was thinking of 'Moons' suggestion of how to move as a group.
He was pretty sure most or all of the deamons had no faith in the group, so it was unlikely the suggestion had any venom behind it. Besides that? It was practical. “We've stayed still for so long that I could have full constructed a base type supplementary construct at this point.” Note was a spell that wouldn't look dangerous or mean with its mouth closed, but just like a cute big note shaped thing. The big shiny eyes even made it resemble a doll in some way, for many had shimmery glass or button eyes. The child sized individual moved his right hand, having two fingers straighten and extend. The other two fingers curled in an up and down motion for three times, activating the spell. Bits of carbon matter came together, forming the Note golem. The otamatone shaped golem kept its mouth closed, moving its grey matte colored body towards its creator. “If the plan is to really follow the girls, I wont argue. Will Jirou also stay in the middle with the girls, because I don't think his sister would let go of him. He is the only person who knows what Hinotas been saying this entire time and can fully communicate with both children.”
He did have faith in Sol, but that didn't change a very important factor. Hino was currently very attached to Jirou, even if she was currently calming down. He was the only one that knew what she had been saying, as well as the only one that will understand what the girl is saying.

Name of Spell: Note Spell Element: Carbon Matter Spell Rank: Grand Mana Cost: 50 | 25 Type of Golem: Scout Applicable Perks: Puppet Master, Repair Shop, Elemental oddity
Description: Moves right hand with first two fingers extended and the other fingers curled in up and down three times to activate the spell. Bits of carbon matter form into a 4m tall and 1.5m wide golem shaped like a giant musical note with eyes and a mouth(think of an otamatone). Its body was made of a light grey coal that lacks shimmer, its eyes and teeth are made of made of black Anthracite coal, a type of high quality coal that is quite shiny. The teeth in its strange mouth look sharp, having canines as well. It can make strange sounds on command, but no other sounds. It has a maximum of 5 passengers, but its speed lowers to 40 m/s during that time. It deals grand rank damage when an attack hits its target. Per the ammo rule, for an additional 75 control the caster can summon another golem. The amount that can be summoned is capped at 2 at a time. If the golem is damaged then it will recover senior rank damage the next round.

Amaya listened to all that was going on around her originally cling to the boy named Sol out of fear. she felt a little bit safer against him. she didn't know anything but him but something just said he was safe and trustworthy, she didn't have much against the one called valo as he did do his best to get her to listen. he seemed nice. next was the one called zaven. in her view he was just trying to play leader wanting them to listen but not seeming to know how to other then seeming desperate to get anyone to listen. Then there was the other girl named hinota from what she was getting from the boys that seemed to know them. Then finally there was te two that either lied or slander her family in her eyes. She wasnt going to fall or trust anyone that spoke of the only worlds she knew within her family. they have never lied to her, all they have done was to help her.
"reguardless, i know my family and something like that would have been told as they wouldn't hide such things from us if they were true"she saiid before looking up and around listening to the various voices. She hated not knowing them. One seemed nice, trying to get them to not take what zaven said too seriously, that he ws trying, another seemed thoughtful and willing to give them some form of help. the other females sounding voices seemed a bit rude in her opinion. enspecially talking to eachother as if the group didn't exist. then she listen to the one called moon or maybe it was that zaeer named person the nicer sounding voice called elysi was seeming at odds speaking of elysi having done something but the man seeming to play dumb or cooey tempting the other to come find him if he wanted the answer. She laughed a bit at the voices "honestly they remind me of Iji and sinclar.. I hope my brothers are doing okay and not too worried.. no no, amaya they are fine...they are them afdter all and safe and not...here."" She said in out loud thought, tring to calm her worry about her twin brothers. she didn't know how she got here or why. sh couldnt sense anything other then what she could see and feel. she couldnt seen them. being from a set of triplets ad its benefits, often she and them always had some sort of internal feeling or acknowlegements of the others existence or feelings. even apart it never failed her. However, she couldnt sense them. that grew her worry even more.
She closed her eyes trying to ignore the nightmare scape of a forest she felt sol's arms around her as he seemed to try comforting her. Every part of her said to pull away and scold but maybe another part of her wanted a distraction. she then felt a hand grab her sleeve pulling her from sol as she opened her eyes seeing it was the other girl of the girl pulling her along to jirou. She understood that hinota was comfortable with jirou. but she didn't trust him. he seemed a little too much of a people pleasure for her to even trust. Then again it took forever to get her to trust anyone who was not approved by family or within her circle of sibling like friends. "uh..."she said unsure what to really say before suddenly etting dragged along once again by hino as she looked around efore spotting an odd sight "huh?" She asked adjusting her footing following after hino seeing jirou and the other follow after them as soon they seemed to reach the pretty object in the scary forest
[attr="class","tamaflowersscroll"] The young floral mage hadn't paid attention to her brother's words, she wanted out of the creepiness that was her current predicament. She was thankful that he would teach her Clovian since he seemed to understand it, right now she felt so isolated because she didn't understand the majority of those around her and when she had asked questions overall she had been ignored. It frustrated her to no end but this was just how things were at home. She was still frightened and wished Junjie was there to protect her but she believed that he was likely searching for her like her brother had been. She didn't have any way to reach him to know what was going on and that Jirou had found her. Little did she know that he would actually have been confused by the situation given how she sounded and likely would get in touch with Jirou to find out what the hell was going on. [break][break] She hadn't even taken note of the others as they spoke as she had no idea what the hell they were saying and even if she asked she was pretty sure she would just be ignored again. She continued holding onto Amaya's sleeve as she ran, she almost slipped a few times but she recovered quickly. It was then she realized that she wasn't wearing her slippers and wondered when she had taken them off. She also found herself wondering if Jirou had noticed and if he had why he hadn't scolded her about it yet. That was future Hinota's problem, right now she just wanted to get to the shiny thing that she had seen. She looked back to Amaya and smiled weakly letting go of her sleeve and holding her hand mid-stride. [break][break] She could tell that Amaya was off put by her pulling her along but she pointed to the thing she saw shimmering in the distance hoping she could see it too. She was also glad that she wasn't pulling away and running with her. It was then she realized the rest of the group was following the pair, this confused her but she was hoping that Jirou would explain why everyone was following. It took her a few seconds but then she realized she didn't need Jirou to explain, men were protectors and so when the two young girls ran off they of course would attempt to stop them. Soon enough she stopped in front of a big building and started to walk around it her hand still inside Amaya's. "Xūnyīcǎo yù" she eventually said when they circled the entire thing unsure what to do now.

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.
A warm gift for Hinota Yuiee. After spending a few weeks away from the flower mage, Valo had crafted a beautiful bracelet as a gift for her. To show her that he cares about her, and he plans to do better by her. He never wants to spend weeks away from her again. And as a symbol for his commitment, he got Warmth's Embrace made for her.[break][break]
It is a beautiful red and gold bracelet with shiny clear and red diamonds circled throughout. With graceful elegant carvings of flowers sculpted on the bracelet itself.[break][break]

[break][break] The group still seemed at odds with each other. The youngest member was still being isolated from the majority of the group as no one at that point had requested that Jirou be the bridge between the two cultures. Elysi had even attempted to smooth things over in regards to Zaven's sloppy wording and Valo himself seemingly agreed with the daemon's take on the matter and voiced it himself. There were of course some backwards and forwards between the two daemon males with Elysi telling Moon if he wanted to speak to him then he just needed to come to him before going silent. Moon could only sigh as he heard Elysi chuckle in his ear, even as a daemon Elysi was still a Delothosin and that made him dangerous to any daemon he came across. Coming across any of that family was essentially a death warrant for any of his kind. [break][break] It was then Moon heard Valo's words requesting the safest path. "In truth, there is no real safe path to the capital city, the longer you are in this section the worse it will likely be." he said thoughtfully "I can, however, make sure the mana beasts and witches within this section of the forest leave you alone but there are three of my siblings you must go through." he explained "You see, I placed barriers up and mother have each of their mana's are strengthening them." he continued telling him the situation appearing in front of the Valo. "Don't get any stupid ideas, as right now you lot couldn't take me out even if you tried." he warned the group as he put his right-hand palm facing the ground "Dnaeqayq aem ya gont" he stated the entire area was shrouded in darkness for a long moment before returning to how it was. [break][break] "I have made the wildlife and citizens docile, so as long as you don't hit them they won't turn feral, that isn't saying those who call this their domain won't make things difficult for you which I can't interfere with." he said leaning in, his hand going to Valo's necklace and holding it for a moment, it was clear he wasn't going to take it or damage it in any way. "I do have a question for you though Valo, you have two wraiths in here that can speak the little princess's language, why aren't you using your brain and having them to help you communicate with her?" he said with a sigh "Are you one of those all brawn no brain types?" he would ask "by the way I am only helping you because Ito was dear to me and the original owner of that necklace was dear to him." he said it was clear that was an open wound for him. [break][break] His eyes went to Joseph for a moment "You would have done better to say that you were her estranged cousin due to her uncle's wife taking you from the family." he gave a little advice. "Your father's family, when children are as young as she if they don't witness the death are told they are on a long vacation for their mental well-being and are told the truth when age appropriate." It was clear this man had done his homework on the group. His eyes went to the spirit for a moment and he quirked his head for a second before walking over and whispering something in the shadow spirit's ear before stepping back. Strangely he took a knee in front of the shadow spirit "But I have a favour to ask you Hraban, protect the little princess with everything you have she must not see things that are negative until she is an adult again." he said standing again. [break][break] He then walked past the captain but stopped whispering something in the man's ear "I will help where I can but feel free to speak to me or Elysi if needed." he said as he continued deeper into the forest. By this time the two girls had run off the men outside of Sol and Jirou had each had some sort of advice or request made of them. The group had decided that the best thing to do was run after them, and soon enough they would come to a mausoleum carved from a single block of lavender jade. It was clear that it took a lot of time to do the intricate designs on the building and whatever was inside was prized. There were doors, however, the group would find no matter how hard they pushed there was no way that the doors would open. [break][break]
[attr="class","header2"]GM Notes
[break] [break][break] Moon had given Valo an answer to his question and it wasn't all that positive, he did, however, state that he would take care of the majority of the issues for the group but they would still have the daemons that called that section of the forest home to contend with. He also notified the group that the capital of the forest had three barriers each connected to one of the daemons of the current area. It was then he allowed himself to be seen warning the group not to do anything stupid as they weren't a match for him at current and fulfilled the promise, that the entire area would be docile to the group unless something interfered with them. He gave most of the group advice however, he made an open request of Hraban to protect Hinota and not allow her to see anything negative or violent but beforehand he had whispered something only the spirit would have heard "I promise you, you will find true growth by the time you reach me." after this he moved to walk past Zaven and whispered something that only the captain could hear. "No matter what happens in this forest Zaven, you must take that spoiled prince under your wing and teach him, he is heading down a dark path. The same dark path you found yourself on." with this Moon took his leave allowing the group to chase after the runaway girls. Eventually, they would find themselves at a mausoleum carved from a single giant block of lavender jade. It was beautifully crafted meaning whatever was inside was treasured but the doors wouldn't budge if pushed. Now does the group try to get in or do they continue moving? If they do want to get in how do they attempt to get in? [break][break] While they have all become younger they do have their memories up until that point and they have their personalities in check... well except the girl's they will react as they did at that current age. In addition to all of this, they have access to all their spells, however, regardless of rank they are all considered junior rank although their normal ranks mana cost and sustain will be applied, if they want to make their spells stronger they will be 25% of the charge added per rank above junior (This means that an intermediate spell will cost 25 ¦ 13, a senior spell will cost 45 ¦ 23, a grand spell will cost 88 ¦ 44 and an archmage spell will cost 160 ¦ 80 if you want the actual power behind the spell they chose) and will hit for a maximum of 1/2 junior damage without a spell helping them become stronger.

"Don't need a reason to seek strength."
Moon started to answer Valo's request. The aura mage figured there wasn't a clear definitive safe path, but one had to be more safe than the others. For the sake of Hinota and Amaya thats the one he wanted to take for the team. But the more Moon decided to help them, the more taken aback Valo was. He was being very cooperative almost to much so, for obvious reasons Valo couldn't just trust every word so blindly. He had to keep a certain level of reason.
The daemon continued to explain that while he could keep certain threats away, they would still have to deal with some of daemonic siblings no matter what. They were also being strengthened by his mother's magic. Right after that he appeared in front of Valo, causing the aura mage to instantly take a fighting stance thinking he was an enemy that was going to attack. While he appeared to not want to cause any harm, Valo still had his focus and guard up.
Moon warned the group to not get any bright ideas about attacking him, stating none of them could take him right now. It took every fiber of his being to not respond to that claim. Valo was very competitive by nature, and if someone claimed to be stronger he would always try and test it. If it weren’t for the rest of the team, he most definitely would have. So instead of worrying the team or antagonizing the Daemon, Valo kept it short. "Oh. So your that strong?" he asked the Daemon with a playful smirk on his face.
In his mind Valo didn't believe Moon to be as strong as he claimed, and the daemon probably said it to try and dissuade the team from attacking him. He doubted the Daemon could take on him let alone, Sol and Zaven at the same time. A smile was on Valo's face though. "Don't worry no one will be attacking you, we have no reason to." Valo said to moon with confidence. He was sure the team would agree with this, if anyone was dumb enough to attack it probably would have been Valo.
Moon started to lean towards Valo who didn't back up from the daemon. He was reaching for his necklace, and asked Valo about why he hasn't used it yet. This daemon knew so much about Valo's relic, he probably knew Kiyoshi and Anata from what it sounded like. The idea of using the wraiths to communicate with Hinota did pass through his mind, but he didn't use them for certain reasons. He didn't find them necessary right now, if Hinota was saying something that the entire team needed to hear he trusted Jirou to tell the team.
Valo tucked the necklace into his shirt away from Moon's hand, and shrugged. "Hmm the idea came to mind, but it didn't seem necessary." he replied and looked over to Jirou. "We have her brother that can translate for us. He's very rude, but I trust him to be reliable not for me, but for Hinota." Valo continued to say about the matter. He wasn't going to call the wraiths out unless they were absolutely necessary, he had his reasons for that. Reasons he had no intention of letting Moon know. "Thanks for the advice though!"
Zaven had spoken up about his mistakes and what people were saying to him. Valo was glad he took it in stride, even though it did feel like a little to much from the others. Valo tried to understand that they have been in this situation for a little while now, and considering their lives were on the line tensions were high. Zaven had to be held accountable, but Valo trusted the shadow mage to do that himself. Valo nodded towards Zaven. Valo heard Sol's words about how in this environment it made sense for children to be scared of a big shadowy golem. "Mmmm. Thats a fair point." Valo replied.
Moon spoke to the others a bit, and once he was done. The others would have continued to follow Hinota and what she was chasing. Eventually they reached a large mausoleum made of Lavender Jade. Hinota did say something, and what little Valo knew about her language all he got out of it was Jade. Valo assumed that whatever this building was it had to be important. He went up to the doors and tried to open it but it didn't budge at all. The aura mage backed up and started to examine what was around to find any clues or info on how to get in. He looked to the others who had been here for some time. "Any mention on how to get inside giant jade mausoleums?" he asked them with a chuckle.

[attr="class","jirouimage"]"I sometimes think of the little people. Wondering what it feels like to be the ants beneath a boot... I never quite figured it out though."
[attr="class","jirouscroll"] As the group walked and spoke and traveled as if they had finally gotten their priorites streight jirou couldn’t help but feel a strangeness in the air that hadnt been there before. Several members of the group were speaking to non-human entities, while they walked a black forest with bloody water everywhere. It felt almost like they might have died and gone to a hell of sort. But Jirou knew better then to believe that. He couldn’t help but smile as they walked along. It had been a strange and fanciful story so far and he was…. happy? No. that’s not the right word for it. He was at ease? No… no that wasn’t right either he pondered to himself. He felt…. strangeness. As every step took them deeper into the woods he couldn’t help but feel a strange tightness growing in his muscles. As if every fiber in his body was slowly tensing. What was causing this sensation and why did it grow stronger as they approched the light?
It was when they arrived at the location and he saw the structure he stopped dead in his tracks, accidentally letting hinotas hand go. He was almost paralized as he heard the words from his sisters mouth. Lavender Jade. It was when Valo, foolish idiotic Valo tried to touch the door. “DO NOT TOUCH IT!” Jirou screamed out his voice carrying with it fright. He repeated himself ina normal tone. “Do not… touch it….” he didn’t even want to approch it. Why? Normally his fear would not be this strong but this should not be here. A structure made of such high quality Lavender Jade was unlikely to have come from clover, if it wasn’t a contrust of the Daemons entirely. Hed make his way toward it. “This is a mass of Lavender jade unlike any ive ever seen… carved from a single stone… I don’t sense any magic coming from it, but yet…. even if it was a magical creation I don’t know if it could be as precise as this is…” he couldn’t help but marvel at it. But he made sure hinota didn’t go near it. “……” he turned his head as he examined the designs. “In the homecountry, this stone represents Serenity, purity… Royalty, along with gold and yellow. To have it be a memorial to the dead… well that is not a comforting site.”
Hed begin to move around the stone. “if any of you have a flying Golem, may I ask that you look from the top? To see what else we might find? Justdo not touch the stone no matter what, or directly fly above it. We cannot risk this being a trap and killing or wounding one of us.” hed not reveal anything he saw or understood just yet, not until he had a full understanding of the design of this structure. He understood now why he felt so off. If this place was a warning…. there could be only two people it could be for in the group. Himself and his darling baby sister, who even as he examined the stone kept an eye on her. “Forgive me for yelling Valo, But I didn’t want to risk your injury. We may not see eye to eye….but… if she is willing to trust you then perhaps so am I.” he looked to the others before he would walk to hinota and gently kneel in front of her, hed of course speak in their native tongue.
“Wǒ de mèimei……wǒ zhīdào nǐ jīntiān yǒu hěnduō wèntí, tōngcháng wǒ dūhuì huídá tāmen. Dàn xiànzài, wǒ xūyào nǐ chéngwéi yīgè fēicháng fēicháng hǎo de nǚhái, dāi zài wǒ shēnbiān huò zhèlǐ de qítā nánrén shēnbiān.” hed point to the group and then smile. “Jíshǐ wǒ zuò bù dào, zhèlǐ de zhèxiē rén yě huì bǎozhèng nǐ de ānquán.” hed gently smile at her and kiss her hand before turning to Amaya. “Amaya, I know you don’t trust us. But please trust my baby sister and protect her okay? Shes only 6, and will need help. Can you do that for us?” hed ask politely, keeping his tone evene and making it clear he was not trying to hurt or lie, but truly keep his sister safe. Hed turn to the group. “I will translate for Hinota.” hed say and hed look at hinota and kiss her forehead before standing back up. “I am weary of touching this stone, but if we must. It may be a good hypothosis that it will require some form of information to open it, or perhaps an item to be brought close enough to it, if it isnt just made of pure magic after all.”
TRANSLATIONS:
"My sister... i know you have lots of questions today, and that normally id answer them. But right now, i need you to be a very very good girl and stay near me or on of the other men here."
"these men here will keep you safe, even if i cannot."
[attr="class","zavenreescroll"] As everything happened he saw himself as not being followed or even still, he thought there were other thoughts going towards him, but not in a speaking version. As well as that, he was also pushed as a thought, but spoken to from a voice from a daemon and his spirit was talked to giving a very big thing to take into. Valo did speak in a way that made Zaven nod because it was just something that he could move a bit with mentally. It was not something that he was just very hype about in a way, but something came to him and besides this movement to play a wave of tag. Before he came back he was sure the team was working together very easily…or at least they came to a moment where they could at least trust each other. Now as they moved so they were all in play or at least with each other some speaking that put him in a new issue on the way, but that was what he thought about or at least that was what he thought until they all eventually caught up to the runners. They ended up at the next place that Hinota and Amaya got to because of what was seen and because of his rather twisted and misunderstanding scene. “Hey Hraban, a favor for me please because…I have a feeling that I need to change how I came here and how it was all handled more and we all need to reconnect.” He said as Jiro spoke rather quick and seemed rather mighty and big spoken as though this was a broken thing if they could could be damaged. He thought that maybe he could summon another golem, but he knew that the ones if he got out would make a rather dumb issue. Of course Joesph was also an understanding fighter as he had been, even through the rather dumb movements he made when showing back up into this issue that was created. [break][break]
He did not speak at the moment as he just listened for a moment before Hraban was just now ready for the initial talk from Zaven once more. Zaven spoke again to finish the first issue “Please my friend, as a most trusting thing could you possibly see if you can come to them and just cause some happiness?” Hraban looked as though it could cause some more issues, even more it still held a rather comfortable and normal face look as normal even though the spirit remembered that Hinota liked him as she was older. However the spirit believed this could make things easier. “Hello Hinota and Amaya, I know I was quite disappointing, and as we are trying to find out how to best find out a way in. Would you both like to a wonderful friend of mine. He is pretty funny and unlike my issues…he is not a bad look..” Zaven said all of this after Jirou spoke his piece. Then he finished as he believed that was not making a threatful piece, yet Hraban looked kind of moving as the spirit might be a toy or even funny, but rather nice as it was not just a shadow. It also looked rather nice and fun in a way since it was not just a darkness shadow only spirit. After a moment he would look to all of the people that looked at him with both anger and with just wanting to hear him not talking or planning. [break][break]
“If there is a way I can ask here that you all can just believe in me, I am not asking for a complete lead here. I would like all of us to work together, including to find the issue here can be taken right. Even the girls seem to be talking amongst themselves AND to the people that can talk with them. I have a very not happy thing I have created before the run and have needed this to happen really…” He started out now as to not make an issue with everyone, nor was he just being a dumbass to cause everyone to see him as a loser. He also was not trying to cause this thought and destroy or waste time. No he was just trying to get everyone to square one. “Jirou if you see this as bad as you said, then we should definitely try to find the way wether a hole or some sort of answer to a reason why the doors are shut. So if I can, may I find a way to go up to the roof and help. I mean that can possibly be dangerous but this is just maybe a way I can help you all but, my golems are kind of well…hard not to not cause some issues. Finally if I make some rather dumb moves then lets just talk if possible.” He chuckled a bit and scratched the back of his head. “So what do you all think? Or do you all have a possible plan that we can follow?” He asked as he was thinking it was not an act of looking like something bad, but to try and help but making the leadership go to everyone, so it was not an excuse, it was to see if they could all trust each other.

[attr="class","Solscroll"]
Sol chased after both Hinota and Amaya to make sure they stayed safe and he blinked as they came to stop in front of a building he was not expecting to see in the forest, it was a mausoleum crafted from solid lavender jade and as he reached out but didn’t touch it his ruby eyes scanned the building with a sense of awe since he had never seen such a thing crafted from such a precious stone, as Valo would try to open it Sol would grab his hands to move them away. “right now Valo we don’t know what the reason for this building being here is and beyond that we have no clue what is inside” he said his tone was calm but it was clear from his expression thatthey couldn’t be reckless about this. As Jirou screamed out not to touch it the Delothoshin instant turned his gaze to him in a piercing look”Jirou keep your volume down we are in enemy territory and you just gave everything within hearing distance our location you can alert without yelling” he told him his tone was quiet but it was clear that he was reprimanding the man since he just made a potentially deadly mistake in this situation though he understood the mans worry.
At the mention of him never seeing such a mass of it like this Sol thought for a moment “the only person in this forest that I know uses gemstones is Elysi but he never mentioned this building” he said wondering if his family member had made this then for what reason the fact that it was mentioned that it was meant to honor the dead seemed to strike a chord with him but he couldn’t figure out why, at Jirous question Sol thought for a moment before answering”I have a few flying golems but I cant use them without frightening the girls the best I could do is use my current ones to get a bit higher up to see”he explained knowing that right now scaring the two would be counterproductive and they didn’t need the setback, as he looked at Jirou then at Hinota he thought for a moment before remembering something he had heard regarding the Yuiee and that was that their eldest brother Ozma was Mute and didn’t talk so he got an idea.”Joseph you can sign correct try Signing to Hinota and see if she can sign back, Jirou at this age you and Hinota could sign with your older brother Ozma yes?” he inquired not wanting to assume but if it was the case then it helped bridge the language gap even more.
Zaven was once again trying to establish communication with the group and an understanding with the girls while also trying to figure out a solution to the issue regarding the mausoleum, he mentioned that like Sol his golems would likely cause issue so he asked if they had a plan to which Sol wanted to shake his head since right now they needed firm but understanding leadership and this felt like he was diverting his leadership in a way.”honestly since this is a mausoleum then perhaps we should leave it be since its here for a reason and jirou mentioned the meaning of this stone making this place important if need be we could always double back if the situation requires it” he suggested to the group since while it could be useful to see what was inside it also could be a deadly trap so it was a tough decision.Sol thought about asking Elysi about this but he remembered that he would discuss things with them when they reached him and he realized that he likely might not get an answer but he decided to try.”Elysi what is this place?” he asked out not knowing if he would even get an answer but figured it was better then staying in the dark.

An ornate katana with a twenty-four-inch (60 cm) blade. the sheath is made of what seems to be made of marble which has been carefully carved into and engraved with what looks like ruby, the base of the sheath has a gold kojiri. Just above the midway point, there seems to be a piece of onyx that has been set around the sheath, the top and bottom of the onyx seems to have the same white marble though it has been fashioned to look almost like fur or feathers. Connected to the onyx there seems to be additional ruby fastenings with ruby chains connecting one part to the next, near the top there is a ruby set in gold that leads off to three carmine red tassels. The handguard seems to be made out of gold leading into the hilt a hilt that is just under half the size of the blade that covered in lackered red marble before being surrounded in black ribbon with gold helm and small ruby beads at each crossing pattern of the ribbon.
The corrupting shadow was made using an unknown method outside of a certain noble family within Clover.

Not a lot is known about this secretive family, it's hierarchy or its family mechanics and they aim to keep it that way, it allows them to continue doing what they are without too many questions being asked.
