[break][break] A lot had happened in such a short time, the group communicated with the floral mage in the hopes that their messages would get through allowing the shield that protected the lavender jade mausoleum. Throughout the conversation, the lotus shield changed colour, showing the floral mage's emotion depending on what was being said and to whom. It was strange however upon Valo demanding that the hourglass be destroyed it was almost as if his betrothed's mana reacted to it as black vines exited out of the centre of the then black lotus shield and went right through the hourglass destroying it. Lilith seemed to chuckle as she got her answer from the group, she taunted them before she eventually went quiet but it would be clear it wouldn't be the last the group heard from her. That came second as the shield finally turned white with the petals scattering showing the mausoleum once more. [break][break] Even the door was heard opening and Valo being one of the fastest in the group made no hesitation heading towards the opening and entered the mausoleum first. What he saw inside was that lavender jade torches dimly lighted the place with what seemed like pale blue pure aura flames. It would be clear that this entire thing was made out of a single giant block of lavender jade that had been carved inside and out. Looking over the walls there was a carved mural for those paying attention would be able to tell the theme started with love moving slowly to life followed by betrayal and finally death but the actual story seemed like it had a hidden meaning behind it. Moving further four caskets made out of the gemstone would be seen. In the first was a grown woman dressed in an Eastern wedding dress. [break][break] She was surrounded by blue lilies, the second and third caskets were empty, the second had pink lilies inside while the third had white lilies, the fourth casket had the child floral mage sucking her thumb, she, herself was surrounded by blue spider lily. It was then that two teenage girls would be seen sitting at the top of the sleeping girl's casket. The girls had long straight black hair, albino skin, and cloudy ruby eyes though the whites of the eyes seemed grey on their foreheads they wore identical circlets and had two lined markings under their left eye. They wore white eastern clothing with black, silver and red hems and a black, red silver sash. Their nails were red and more claw-like with how they came to a point. To be honest, it would be quite easy to believe that they were undead but they didn't seem hostile at least for now. [break][break] They observed the pure aura mage as he entered, listening to his words but they didn't move even an inch nor did they speak. Their eyes watched as Jirou entered and told Valo off for his etiquette before he spoke to them in their native tongue but again they didn't react. Soon enough Joseph near the entrance and their eyes switched targets once more their eyes narrowing on the peach-haired male slightly but it would barely be noticeable as they didn't move in any other way. Soon enough Sol entered in hopes that Amaya would enter also but the white-haired angelic mage made her thoughts clear and decided to remain outside thanks to her personal beliefs and the beliefs of some within her family. Sol noticed the mural and spoke to the girls asking them if they wouldn't mind telling him the story but again they remained silent and unmoving. [break][break] It was then that Zaven entered, the girl on the left lifted her left hand at the same time her sister lifted her right. The girl on the left made a circle motion as the other made a pushing motion with her palm flat. As they did a spatial portal opened behind the group and they were pushed through it. The opposite portal was slightly higher than the mausoleum making them fall straight down towards the ground but given it was only a single floor high it was clear they weren't attempting to harm the group. "Choose two to enter." two voices said in unison "Any more than that and history will repeat. The second member of your group who entered is forbidden to enter again as is the peach haired male outside." the two voices in unison again said. This showed that if more than two of the group entered then they would be pushed out again and they didn't want Jirou or Joseph within the mausoleum. [break][break] It was clear that they wanted their rules followed, this was their home and so who knew what would happen if their directions were ignored. "The lady wraith may enter also, this is a place for rest." the voices said showing that Anata was also welcomed on top of the two that the group decided. They didn't sound hostile but reserved as if they were willing to listen to what the group wanted with them. With that, the voices went quiet allowing the group to decide whom they would send in to represent them. [break][break]
[attr="class","header2"]GM Notes
[break] [break][break] The group managed to make their way into the mausoleum and found their missing team member, however, there were three others inside. One was lying in the first casket while two teenage girls were sitting on the top of the casket the young floral mage was seemingly sleeping in. They observed the group unmoving and not speaking a word allowing the group to say their piece once they were done with a simple action each the group would find themselves thrust through a spatial portal and falling to the ground from slightly higher than the mausoleum itself. The group was then told that only two of the group would be allowed to enter but that it couldn't be Joseph or Jirou, they also invited Anata to enter on top of the two. They made it clear that if more than the two chosen and the wraith entered they would be thrust back outside of the mausoleum again. So, now the group must decide who is entering. [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."
Valo wasn't going to make the mistake of doing something foolish and putting Hinota's life in jeopardy, it was already dangerous enough as is. Because of his ki sensory he could tell Hinota was the one in the coffin, the same one the two twins were sitting on. They didn't seem to want to cause harm at least from Valo's first reading, of course he could be very wrong. But if they wanted to hurt her or them, they probably would have done so by now. But Valo's mind was made up already a fight right now was not an option.
Destroy them they cannot stand up to you, even if they just seem like threat they must be dealt with permanently.
For less then a second Valo's face looked confused, his father's voice was back in his head. With thoughts that could not be his own. He thought he heard them because he was becoming lost in his anger, but even now when calm he could still hear them. He took a quick breath in and let it out, he was focused that wouldn't change he wouldn't allow himself to be distracted especially right now.
Valo watched as Jirou commented on how Valo barged in and didn't introduce himseld, which was true he did. But it was a dire situation Hinota may have been in some kind of danger, he had to act fast there was no time for introductions. But Jirou continued introducing himself with a bow and speaking his native language, Valo was able to understand a little bit of it but it was clear to him. Anata approached the young aura mage from behind. "You move so quickly Master Valorisse." she said to him her tone was gentle, if it was her brother the tone probably would have been different.
"Sorry Anata I wanted to get to Hinota quickly."
"I understand completely. Her brother is attempting to introduce himself to them, he complimented her dress and is hoping to get them speaking about the story of this place. But I fear they may not...nevermind." Anata said to Valo translating what Jirou was saying to Valo and the crew if they would take the time to hear her.
It didn't take long at all for the others to arrive at the scene, Sol and Zaven came in leaving Joseph and Amaya outside Valo noticed this because of his ki. They probably didn't need everyone inside, it was ok for some to stay back. But as soon as Zaven arrived a portal was made behind them, and they were pushed into it somehow. Sending them right back outside, voices could be heard stating the rules. Only two may enter and it couldn't be Jirou or Joseph. Meaning it had to be between Valo, Sol, Zaven and Amaya. Valo landed on his feet letting his body come down naturally to avoid hurting himself. Anata also had landed gently like the princess she was.
These demons mock you boy, they don't respect you. Show them why you should be feared.
Valo was in deep thought for a moment obviously the team needed to decide on who should go in. "Well since we have choose two. I will vote for myself and Sol to enter. Since Anata is allowed to enter as well, it makes sense for me to enter. I think Zaven and Amaya are best to stay outside, given how Amaya feels. Zaven would be best to watch over her and Jirou. Leaving Sol as our option. If it's Sol and I we'll get it done." Valo gave his opinion on the matter with a smirk looking at Sol towards the end. "What do you guys think?" he asked the rest of the team.

[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."
The audacity. The true idiotic foolish audacity. As Sol spok to him. He had to resist every user to assault this man. This bastard who of course would get on jirous nerves after immediately being seen as something that might be a problem. Just as Jirou ahd predicted. He was right in all this, hed make sure his parents knew well this farce. He had to use every once of training to maintain his calm collected and cool persona. He endured it all, keeping a calm and neutral face as sol spoke and amaya hid away. When Joseph spoke, he felt his blood pressure rise. But he forced his passive calm face to remain. This fool spoke without knowing. As he always seemed to do. He hated that hair he had. a sign of someone much more skillful that no longer existed. he knew the legacy of his mother, the Burning Crimson. Perhaps it would have been best she remove her child and spare the world her own death. Though he doubted impure trash could amount to much more then a show pony of a woman anyway.
He had seen the first set of hand signing and he bit his tongue again. How dare he. He remaned calm and bit back his anger. And then suddenly the girls spoke and he suddenly found himself falling. He landed like a cat on the balls of his feet and recovered without any issue. As they then voiced their desire that he not be in the building. Jirous eye twitched. It took every bit of self control and every ounce of love for his sister to stay his anger. How…dare…they! They steal what rightly belongs to the Yuiee Family and when he tried to get it back they move him like common trash?! he felt his darkness rising. Creeping up through his insides as it boiled toward the surface. Yet he once again forced it all down. He turned from the group and made hisw ay toward the edge of the forest. “It seems…” his voice cracked, which he of course caused, to make it sound like he was holding back tears. “It seems im not allowed into the place anymore I might as well make sure were not being snuck up on.”
His tone was filled with hurt. As if he truly did not expect the responses he got. “You all act like your not better then them.” hed pause before he got to far. “Like somehow the things you all do anyone could do and so you don’t take credit for it. But rest assured, you do more good by putting a name to it.” hed act like he was wiping his tears away, but he didn’t turn back to the group at all. “137. That’s how many people ive directly helped and saved off the battlefield. 137 lives and I can name each and every one, ive made better through direct action from myself, and uncounted for more through the cherities and orphanages I help.” he began to speka with a bit more pride in his voice as he began to walk again. “So tell me how many lives you’ve helped with your willingness to send women and children to the front lines. Tell me how many lives youves saved with your small donations, when you can tell me how many and each name, then you can decide if im a good person or not.” hed begin to patrol around the area and in his mind he smiled. Even if it didn’t make them immediately switch side, it would make it clear that Jirou was trying his best to be a good person and to help others.
Yet deep down, he was after something else. This forest was a construct of liliths, or a byproduct of her magic. At least that’s what it seemed given she took offence to it being in danger. He would walk along the edge of the trees, making sure he kept a keen sense of himself and what was around him. Yet at the same time he held his hand out toward the trees, using his understanding of mana and his mastery of his pure aura magic to try to understand what he could about the forest. He put out a soft gently aura, one that wasn’t hot but just a soft and gently warming like cozy blanket. He spoke to himself in his own mind. ‘Its beautiful, this forest… something one could only make if they were truly strong.’ hed smile in his mind. ‘If this is a creation of yours lilith I must give credit where credit is do. It is uite impressive.’

[attr="class","Solimage"]❝Trusting hand in hand, Life Death will follow"
[attr="class","Solscroll"]
Sol Heard Amaya mentioning that they shouldn’t go in that once they dead were laid to rest they were not to be disturbed and if they were called then they could enter , at That Sol sighed but he shook his head.”Amaya I agree with you but this is a situation that isn’t normal and its not just the dead that are in there Hinota is in there as well and we don’t know what lurks or what her situation is as much as I think being patient is wise this unfortunately isn’t one of them” he explained his tone was calm and soft as he had stopped for a second when she grabbed his sleeve and he turned to her andhis gaze was soft and understanding of her concern.”I’ll be careful when I enter and above all I will be respectful” he said to assure her with a small smile before he looked to Joseph who was not entering either and then back at her.”if your not going to enter then stick by Joseph for now ok I know you don’t completely trust him but he will make sure nothing happens” he said before he turned and entered along with Valo Zaven and Jirou.
It seemed that his efforts along with Valo and Jirous were met with silence from the girls and while they were not hostile the fact they got no answer was a bit worrisome, it was then that with two different motions from the girls all four of them were suddenly dropped thru a portal and were sent back to the front of the mausoleum and the world tree used blinked as he landed smoothly dropping to a knee before standing back up and dusting himself off, before he could speak however suddenly the twins inside spoke telling them that only two could enter along with Valos Wraith and if they went higher then that the result would be the same. The girls had also stipulated that Jirou was forbidden from entering again and Joseph was off the table as well,”seems we had too many enter at once” he muttered to himself as he had landed by where Amaya was and he mulled over what they knew.
Sol knew that two of their group was forbidden from entering so that meant Jirou and Joseph were out and Amaya had no desire to go into the mausoleum so it only left Valo Sol or Zaven as the options, it seemed that Valo wanted it to be the two of them going in and Sol could see the reasoning behind such a thing given Valos Wraith companion would be of great use and he could feel some connection between himself and the two girls which begged the question if this was the same feeling as with Elysi did that mean that these girls were possibly family. “I have to agree with Valo I think the two of us would be the best combination since like Valo said Anata can go with him and im getting a feeling with these two that I think means something” he said looking to Joseph and the others”are you all ok with us being the two to go in?” he asked though he knew Amaya likely would worry since so far she had clung to him since they had de aged but this needed to be done.
As Jirou went on about how many people he had helped and that most liked to have a face attached to the deeds that were done Sol resisted the urge to shake his head, he knew that there were such a thing as unsung heros whos deeds are never lorded but were important all the same he still saw the prince and nothing but a peacock flashing his feathed.”I wouldn't lecture us about sending people to the battlefield Jirou remember those that enter into the magic knights do so voluntarily we know the risks and the dangers of this life when we took this postion even your sister understood that” he said calmly not bothering to give the rest of Jirous argument any merit while he was helping people sure but it still seemed like an attention grab.with that said Sol looked to the entrance of the mausoleum and would wait untill the others offered their opinion since the last thing they wanted was to cause issues in the group again.

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.

Post by Joseph Ravencrest✾ on Jul 21, 2024 4:40:43 GMT -5
The ex azure deer had stopped walking, a pause in their own steps t seeing their cousin go towards a tree and curl up. There were enough people going to save Hinota, she was in good hands. He had to go to his cousin, even if they weren't the best at it. He held onto the cubic carbon diamond tablets as the adult in a childs shape started walking towards her. There were two people without memory, not just one. Both needed help, even if only one was currently in physical danger. Their steps paused when Valo, Sol, Zaven,and Jirou were all tossed out by those inside. It seemed Sol spoke of two not being allowed in, but didn't really say who. Jirous raction was enough to guess the dark haired peacock was one of them. That second person could be anyone else, save for Valo and Sol. The male Ravencrest looked towards Sol with a weak smile on their lips. “I'm fine with the two of you going. With the state I was born in, it would feel like a bad omen for me to go in with my eyes and body the way they are anyway.” Even if he was healthy, the marks of almost not being born alive were forever marred on their form.
The weak and unhealthy state that didn't stop him from growing up strong, but certainly kept him from looking that way. Joseph didn't know about those inside not wanting him inside, but it wasn't a bother to not go. “I trust both of you, Sol and Valo. Please be careful, considerate, and weary.” His corpse like pale pink eyes with their light colored pupils looked from Sol, towards Amaya. The boy sat down near her, gently placing the tablets down. Their eyes were aimed at the grass, keeping the small slight smile on their face. ~If only I was as good as my father at explaining things.~ John Cobborn had been creative and amazing at making anything easy to understand while their mind had been in one piece. The creativity and intelligence of that person was certainly something he wished to have, but who did at this point? Not even that man. “Sorry for never asking about my father and avoiding visiting the estate. Even if you don't remember a lot, I still want to apologize. I only asked about you and your parents. I had no idea my father was your uncle. I had many chances to ask multiple people but never did. It felt like if I looked backwards, if I asked, it would hurt. I will only ever have known him for a few seconds.”
~Change subject.~ The man urged himself with the signing from tiny child hands. “I'll try to explain things again. The bad people in this forest made us all physically change into children. We are magic knights with grimiores who came here to fight those bad things. The only ones with healing spells are Hinota, you, and myself. The others in the group have a variation of different specializations, but most of the guys in the group can use attack spells. The closest to that I have are golems. When I summoned mother goose, I wasn't trying to scare you. She is my strongest attack type golem and makes me feel safe. Even if she doesn't actually have a mind of her own, I always see her as a brave and well seasoned warrior that protects others. My golem that looks like a musical note with eyes is named Note. He is a scout type, so less of a fighter and better at looking at things and making sure it's safe ahead. I have guardian type named Carnation, but she's a manticore. She's better at defense and I see her as a care taker type, but she definitely would would scary to you. My element is carbon matter with a song oddity.”
It would be better if someone else tried to explain things, a more creative thinker. Someone who at least understands how being a kid is supposed to be and feel like. “I'll be honest, even if you had all your memories I don't think you would like or trust Jirou and I wouldn't blame you. Him and I mix like oil and water. Even if we are both in the squad golden dawn, I tend to just avoid him. Someone who understands kids more or better creative thinking should try to explain things honestly... Would you like to see if Sol can after they get Hinota out of the mausoleum? At this point I feel like anyone besides Jirou could do a better job than me. They also wouldn't have corpse like eyes. I know adult you never seemed to care, but I never met you when you were young like this. Like the ages we all look now.” He was trying to ignore the existence of Jirou at this time. So long as they didn't get near his cousin, everything was fine. Of course Joseph looked from the ground eventually to look everywhere briefly, the sort of action someone like him took likely a bit too often. “What would you like to do after you get home? Besides the obvious things, like getting clean.”
Words: 881 Total: 11,558 The symbol ~ will be used in the post to reference when sign language is being used.
Amaya watched the group as even though sol heard her and acknowledged her plea for him not to go in he reasoned that because Hinota was in there and whatever else was in there with her. She couldn't argue with that but she wish she could have the strength to step beyond her comfort and knowing. She was true to who she was and what she believed. She wouldn't enter her own family's mausoleum without an adult regardless, but such a place didn't welcome the living.
[break][break] She listened to his reassurance and who she should stick with. he was right, she was not going to go anywhere near jirou as she was sure someone would get hurt, just how was unknown. She would rather deal with oddball Zaven and slanderer joseph. She watched him go inside with the selected group before moving to a tree sitting down as she wrapped her arms around her legs resting her head against her knees expecting them to be back soon. she just wanted to go home.
[break][break] It was then she saw everyone that went in suddenly get teleported out as she listened to them, lifting up her head up listening to each of them before hearing the voices. Seems they choose who was going to go based on the 4 that went in. Jirou wasn't allowed and neither was joseph. "Do what you will. I am not going in. I just wanna go home, I don't understand any bit of what is going on." She muttered softly in dismissive agreement. [break][break] She then sighed hearing jirou. Does this boy only hear himself. Only a bastard Silva would keep count of all the lives they have supposedly helped. She closed her eyes shaking her head " Get over yourself Jirou...My entire family is of militaristic Origins. Whether we join the magic knights or not. All Ravencrest, has a subconious will to protect our home. The kingdom we are High Nobles to. We know the price of bearing the weapons and knowledge we train, learn and wield, till our hands are bloody and we are laid to rest with our family. Even I, A Socialite of clover. Can best most with my rapier. I am not master at it, but my skills are growing and someday, i just might become a magic knight, if my path that my parents set was to change. I am not blind of what it costs on any battlefield. However, No one should live seeking glory as someday they will be a unknown figure with a name that has been claimed by so many generations after that you will be just another number of a time long past. Being unsung is better then being sung. Letting others hold up the light is better then being the light itself. My parents were magic knights, I know at least two of my brothers are training to become magic knights. Being a magic knight if a privilege's not a right. All who wear those mantles, wear them knowing that at any moment their accounts will either save lives or end them whether our own citizens or other kingdoms." She muttered not putting up with jirou's standing. He was a black haired Silva. No one was going to tell her otherwise. He isn't above her and only a Silva would act as he did. If only she was home, her family would ensure he knew his place.
[break][break] She shook those thoughts from her head. She shouldn't hate or be angry of one who doesn't understand or know his place. It isn't her place to judge. It wasn't right for her to judge. In all truth, she felt pity for his point of view. For his view of his own self value, the only value to being all showy and high and mighty. it must be a very lonely pedestal made of salt. her eyes soften with pity at his thought process. While acknowledging your deeds is fine. Keeping record was not being truthful as one's own action might allow another to act, and another and another. There is no actual amount of good deeds he would ever know of. Along with the fact of needing to know to show one's own worth. What a sad world he isolated himself in. What was he hiding that needs such a display. Even she knew things that are too shiny, too showy, too pretty. Tend to show many many flaws and sometimes can ruin other good things.
[break][break] She watched him begin his patrol as she was then accompanied by Joseph and his tablets as she rested her cheek on to her knees, wrapping her arms under her legs curled up as she looked away. She listened to joseph as honestly she didn't know if he was talking to a child or an adult. His words were more then for an adult conversation like with winter, or one of their many servants. His words made no sense. She would have been told if her uncle had a child. She would have known if someone as old looking as joseph was Fintan's child.
[break][break] She then listened to him change his thought process of explanation. It was a bit better. Still very farfetch but it made a bit more sense of why everyone was talking as if they were magic knights, why everyone had a mantle of some sort. Why they seemed to know each other even her. She closed her eyes hearing him explained his magic and his golems.
[break][break] He then began to speak that even as an adult he didn't think she liked jirou and how he and jirou were opposites in so many ways. She heard him speak of possibly having someone else, anyone other then him and jirou to explain stuff. That was what she could agree on. She sighed sitting back up straight resting her arms on her legs as she tilted her head up closing her eyes "Stop with the worry Joseph. Regardless of your eyes or looks. They are yours and yours alone. They make you unique whether you like it or not. They are not your mother's hair, your mother's eyes, they are not your father's hair or father's eyes. they are yours and your alone." She said before looking down at her lap placing with her sleeves in idle thought, her eyes brimming with tears as she just wanted to be home, be anywhere then here. " If we are in such a forest with bad people that can do this to us and you all, including myself couldn't stop it. It isn't wise to speak of any spells of any sort. Such actions of others says there are eyes everywhere, and ears everywhere. I can't sense anything to be of any help and I have minor healing." She spoke lifting her palm up allowing her mana to flow into it as her idle sorrowful eyes lit up. not with just surprise but fear. "My mana..."She spoke looking at the purple orb "Its....two shades of purple...Had to be...Periwinkle, morb purple. Why...What happened to cause my own mana, to change..."She spoke in shocked expression trying her best to keep from freaking out and spiraling back into tears.
[break][break] She didn't like change. This was not just a change of her bedroom, or getting out of an outfit she liked that she would never wear again. This was a physical change. a literal change of her mana, her soul, her magic connection. This was a violation and made her feel sick to her stomach. What would her brothers think? What would Hania think? Jianyu? Would Leone trust it is her if her mana looked different? Would her friends acknowledge her with such a strange change? So many thoughts of worry dashed through her head and body. What happened to her? She felt her robes finding the grimoire she kept hidden within them as she looked it over in awe. This couldn't be her own grimoire. its so pretty, it is so her. She opened the pages seeing the various spells glancing over each and everyone one for a few seconds before putting it away back in her robe. she took a deep breath feeling anxious and overwhelmed of acknowledgement as she rested the palm against her forehead. her headache was growing more even with the acknowledgement of tiredness from all the crying and fits she had.
[break][break] "I just wanna go home"She answered joseph. "I want to go hug my brothers, even hania, I wanna cry in my sheets and see a doctor in hopes something can help me forget i was ever here. to try mending ties with my circle, if they don't kick me out, if i am ever allowed off the estate again before i am married off at some point in the hopefully distant future to I hope so dreamy noble i can actually have a liking to and not some political tie."She said softly "I wanna hug and hide within the wings of my manabeast, who i love so much as he protected my life and my parent's bodies on that night two years ago. I wanna look at the painting of my parents and ball my eyes out of this nightmare I am left in with no one to help me." She said feeling her tears flow again as she wiped her eyes as quickly as she could. She hated this. her makeup was smearing and allowing anyone to see this princess crying was not a look she wanted anyone outside the estate to see.[break][break]
[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

A young girl was one such person and so was dragged away from her parents one night when she was sleeping, as she was dragged out her parents managed to hand her a bracelet meant to be given to her when she came of age.
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","zavenreescroll"] With how it all turned as soon as he entered the building…he was drawn away from what was going to happen and what he had seen overall. This was initially progressing in hi head that they would be able to save their teammate and friend…though for those that had the attachment to Hinota, it was something more of a, signal. When they were all there, a push back happened and they were all met with a small speaking moment that settled the scene and moments for it all. Decisions, decisions…Valo was given the rush of the incident and now deciding moment of a leader or rather, more of an important lovers decision because of how it all progressed. He had said enough and with this moving forward he listened the best that he could. He breathed even further as there was movement to have two more join in the mausoleum for what may happen next. Which caused an even louder and rather eye peeling moment that could divert or rather push the bold decisions of the incident. Amaya could always walk in, but Valo was now in a more leader type of sudden rather identical and sudden “dice-like” roll of dice…or from what could be seen he was. The party outside though reacted, with Jirou’s sudden movement and angry voice Zaven’s eyes went to say something, but then Sol had his own part as Valo made his decision on who SHOULD and COULD join him in that moment. Amaya made her own movement moment as well as Joseph pre-movement which would leave him to his own movements and speech listening to and movements made by the ones here outside. ”I leave it to you then Valo, Sol. I trust you immensely, and this will pass and we will reach what we need.” He said before stepping away, Joseph addressed his own decision to not take Valo’s pick and then with the movements with his hands he spoke he wanted to do more with what was happening. With how it all moved, he had to make decisions as well as he gave Sol a pat on his shoulder because he trusted what was done and said. The next stop was to Joesph so that he could tell him to accompany Jirou, and they could go further in a moment, but that he could talk all he needed with the sign language as he usually did back in the past. [break][break]
After Amaya’s speaking and movements, he could tell that there was a great deal still just at hand and he wanted to just use the “when I was a kid…” first and foremost, he did not do anything. He just let her speak and say what she wanted as he sat down on the grass, his body hurt where the scar was, and the moves that were made were an ultimate movement. He was a leader though and he had is own issues that he had already put them through and several times moved the speech and actions of a leader. ”This, well…from what I can see, hear, and not just say the ri…things that can help. We are all children talking like we are confused and heart hurting adults with connections to Hinota, family, and other issues. I am sorry for your confusion, the repeating issues of what year we all are, and the movements that show rather…quick incidents between ALL of us here.” Zaven was not quiet and the way he spoke sounded like it was addressed to all, because the confusion…the movements…and the overall decisions said and made were all VERY big and hard to stick with. He continued even more as they all did their own decisions that were made. ”We all act like adults when games and issues bring in just incidents like this. Mana is a push and can change depending on what is going on or given for us to do. Words are just that…words ultimately. Amaya, you and your family are very much strengthened and your way of talking does not say bad things…just like the other kids talk like adults, including me. We all had weird beginnings. I am talking about everyone here. We keep just looking for enemies, or ways to just punch things, or cut with weapons, and very much more. Valo and Sol will take care of what is going on inside. So take a moment as you are doing now, hopefully Joesph can bring back our other teammate or friend, and we can just take a moment as I have said before to just wait our other kiddie friends so that way we get Hinota back. If you feel the need to talk or something, come to me or one of the others. We will get through this.” He said in as starting speech to Amaya, but then just addressed anyone that could hear him. He wanted to help them all, even when he ordered them. However, he was not just pushing this fucking non-leathal value again, but he needed to state that orders were needed, but helping them all come together and waiting to move to take all this shit and get it out of the way which is what was told to them WAS the final damn straw.

[attr="class","zavenstat2"]COMBAT SUMMARY
[break]
[attr="class","zavenreescroll2"] TLDR I tried my best here, Thank you all, it felt like I was writing in an OLD way, but I am hoping I did and it was followable. Feel free to dm or tag me if I did mess up..
[break][break] For the first time in a while the group had started acting like a team, however, most of those within the group had decided to rush in without knowing who or what was waiting on the other side of the mausoleum doors. What they were met with was what looked like a corpse in the first coffin surrounded by flowers, two empty coffins with flowers within them and the fourth coffin with the floral mage sleeping surrounded by flowers. Sitting at the top were two young women who didn't seem all that happy with the vast intrusion into their home and working together ejected the group out of the mausoleum with the use of air pressure and spatial magics. They informed the group that they would only permit two of the group into the mausoleum but that it couldn't be Jirou nor Joseph, they also said that Anata would be allowed as she was dead. [break][break] With that the pair once again went silent allowing the group decide who was going to enter to speak with the those inside. Valo suggested that himself and Sol may be the best to be the ones to enter. He stated since Anata was able to enter it made sense for him to accompany her, he also stated that since Amaya didn't want to enter that Zaven would be the best choice to watch over her and as Jirou and Joseph were out the only person that it left was Sol. It was a well thought out reason, there was also the fact that Sol and Valo had worked together in the past when they were both members of the Green Mantis so they knew each others fighting styles and so could compliment each other given the situation. [break][break] Luckily no one knew what the spoiled prince was thinking or he wouldn't have to worry about the daemons as the group themselves would likely turn against him turning him into compost for one of the many trees within the forest. It would be easy for it to be covered up as a casualty of war after all. Between his want to harm one of the girls and believing that his own sister was property was bound to get on at least two of the others nerves but add on how little he thought of everyone else and he made himself a target if it came out. Once again as he walked away the prince stopped feeling the need to boast about just how many people he had saved, his own sister would have told him off for keeping scores like that as it wasn't becoming of someone of their station. He even tried to convince them that putting a name to a deed made it mean more. [break][break] Everyone in that group knew just how much bullshit he was spewing, with the exception of Amaya everyone in this group had been in the magic knights much longer are well known within the kingdom for their deeds several of them even dealing with multiple daemons by this point in their lives. Even his sister was in the rankings of being a potential wizard king with her deeds let alone someone like Zaven who was a living legend with all the accolades underneath his belt but not one of them felt the need to boast or state their deeds as they spoke for themselves. The floral mage was far more humble than her elder brother, Valo knew that the young woman did keep note of something... the lives she failed to protect. [break][break] It helped her improve not only as a magic knight and tactician but as a person as she attempted not to make the same mistake again. It also prevented her from getting an ego like many royals or imperials. He then brought up how many lives had Sol and the others protected by sending women and children to the frontlines. No child was ever sent into war, it wasn't how the Kingdom of Clover worked, now if it was Spade or Diamond then it might be a different story. Sol quickly pointed out that each of them knew what they were getting into when they became magic knights and that included his sister. He then went on about donations to orphanages and if they could name each person that they helped, then make a decision if he was a good person or not. All it did was make him come off as an obstinant prince who needed to humble brag so he could get an ego boost. [break][break] Amaya had enough of Jirou and had told him to get over himself, that her entire family was militaristic and they knew what it meant even before they entered whatever service they decided and what was expected of them and the sacrifices that came with it. Even she being a socialite had this same training and understanding so he wasn't all that special. She stated that she could best quite a few with a rapier but understood her limitations but she knew day by day it was growing and one day she too hoped to join the magic knights even if that wasn't what her parents had originally wanted for her in life. It wasn't wasted on her the price paid on any battlefield, she found him quite hollow as all he seemed to do was glory seek. [break][break] She mentioned that they all would one day be nameless as generations passed and legends changed, that it was far better to be unsung than a sung hero. She explained how her brothers were training to become magic knights and that it was a privilege to wear the mantles not a right and that magic knights understood that at any second it could be the last breath they or others took while saving their kingdom or attacking another. It, of course, fell on deaf ears as Jirou had wandered off on his own. She thought as much of him as a Silva, it actually sounded as if she would have preferred to be around a member of the Silva than Jirou at that moment. She felt a strange kind of pity that he felt like he needed to keep score, she found it quite pathetic as it prevented a true deed from happening. [break][break] Joseph approached her and attempted to have a conversation with her but this was a conversation that he shouldn't be having with her given her current mindset. It was only confusing the white-haired mage that much more as it seemed as if he was talking to an adult not a child. She was quite sure that if her uncle had, had a child then she would have known about it so she wasn't buying what he was selling. As she listened however she decided it did make a little more sense but she still found it farfetched. Joseph explained that even as adults he didn't get on with Jirou and he didn't believe she did either and she had to agree that was something they did agree on. She decided to give Joseph a bit of a pep talk telling him to stop worrying about how he looked, that his features were his alone and they made him unique even if he didn't like it. [break][break] She did state that if they were indeed in a forest filled with bad people it was a bad idea to speak on their spells as it would let their enemies know as they likely had eyes and ears everywhere. Joseph having spent so long in this forest would know that was the deal in the forest. She explained that she couldn't feel anything with mana but she did have minor healing. She allowed her mana to flow but it was no longer the pink she was used to, no now it shone periwinkle and mauve she was in shock at the colour changed and asked the elder male how this had happened. It was clear she didn't like this change, it wasn't like a fashion faux par this was far worse to her as she was stuck with it. [break][break] She was clearly going through a crisis as she had no idea how those in her life would deal with this change. She was overwhelmed and let word vomit escape her lips as she started to cry. Zaven agreed leaving the retrieval of Hinota to Valo and Sol while he watched over the distressed angelic mage. He then moved to Joseph and Amaya. He signed for Joseph to follow Jirou before he started to speak to her about the situation hoping that it would bring some solace to her. [break][break]
Somewhere else in the forest
[break][break] As he patrolled he would find that he was sensory deaf, he couldn't feel the others nor would he be able to find his way back to them. As he attempted to use his mana to reach out to the area it felt dead, he felt nothing at all that was until he felt like he was being stabbed by thousands of needles suddenly. "Now, now that won't do now would it." A woman's voice said sounding almost like a soft lullaby as she moving forward. She was a dazzling beauty with long luxurious red hair, she had porcelain skin without blemish green eyes, red lips. Her clothing was a fusion of Eastern and Western fashions. She would be a person a king or emperor would easily fall for. She would traditionally bow to Jirou. "My dear prince are you lost?" she would ask him. [break][break] She looked back to where he came from "Or is it that you don't wish to sully yourself with lesser blood?" she would ask him her voice soft and respectful as she spoke to him. "I can understand that oh so well." she said with a soft frustrating sigh "I can only imagine a man like you must have it so much worse than a woman such as myself." she said playing into the ego she had seen him show since he had entered the forest, the darkness coming from him was so thick it may as well have been a fog to someone like her. "Do you not tire of having to wear that heavy mask?" she would ask him as if she could see past what he was showing the world. "Worry not I will not tell those lesser fools about your true strength." she said smiling. [break][break] "In fact, I wish to offer you a deal Your Highness because of that strength. Will you hear me out?" she would ask him leaving what happened next completely in his hands. She knew it had to be like this, after all, in their culture it was men who had all the power and if she pushed too hard it would unfurl what she was attempting to do and that wouldn't do in the slightest. "They have no idea what greatness is within their ranks, how dare they speak to you as they have been? You aren't a mere commoner you are a prince destined for greatness within the heavens." she said boosting his ego and the darkness within him. She already knew he thought highly of himself, it was a plague most royals and imperials had. [break][break]
[attr="class","header2"]GM Notes
[break] [break][break] It has been decided who is going into the mausoleum to speak to the two girls and retrieve their missing member. A disagreement happened between Jirou and the rest of the group causing the egosentric prince to wander off on his own only to find himself lost and find a mysterious yet beautiful woman who is not only attempting to play on his ego but his darkness. Amaya was instructed to stay by Jospeh and they had a conversation but that was short lived as Joseph was instructed to go to find Jirou by Zaven leavin the man to speak with the upset Angelic mage, it is up to Joseph wether or not he will listen to that order or not. The group has now been split up yet again thanks to the decisions of those within the group. [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.

[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."
The stabbing of needles was the first thing he felt from the dead forest around him. It was beyond dead even. As if the very life essence had been drained from it. And not just because of his mana sense being messed with by the magic. He realized as soon as he had left the group he had opened himself up to an enemy encounter. Perhaps… he had wanted it. A way to vent his frustration on everything he was made to suffer through with these idiotic fools that try to act better then themselves by trying to be mysterious benefactors. What good does that do but make it hardr for you to use your true strength and position as a person to help others. Yet as he felt the stinging of thousands of needles his attnetion would shift. He had lost track of himself in his anger, yet as soon as danger showed itself his mind mentally locked in.
Jirou turned to look at the voice of the woman who approched him. But a woman wasn’t what hed call her. A doll…Perfect in almost everyway. As she spoke hed listen to her and even smile at her as he approched. He was a child sized monster now yes…but a monster non the less. As she bowed to him hed stand there with a proud expression and his head tilted upward. Hed take his golden fan from his belt sash and open it with a thwiping motion. Hed use it gently lift her head as she spoke. If she stopped hed smile at her and urger her to continuq until he had heard her message. The fan was not a weapon in this instance, but a message and reminder of the difference in their status. Hed regard her face for a moment, his face caring a soft and gentle smile bfore speaking to her in his native language. “You speak as though you know more of me then you should… Perhaps to someone such as yourself I am easier to read…But rest assured this mask is no more heavier then the feather that rests upon the apex of Mount Kunlun.”
Hed hed purpose close the fan so it would make a loud noise and make the air under her chin move, a play to show his dominance. “….” hed study her face and squint. ‘Your face and voice….. they remind me of someone I met recently…a woman who did not understand her place, there were others as well. Who showed they did not understand. “ hed think back to the other female victims he had, the men never had this feature. Or perhaps they showed it in a different way. But it was a certain look in the face or structure of the eyes. “But judging by how you greeted me, I must say you seem almost perfect compared to those women…yet….” hed smile softly at her and gently motion to her clothing. “These western clothings do nothing but rob you of beauty, and betrays the fact that you are mixed blooded. Or perhaps even if not mixed that you have accepted somewhat this corrupting lands influence.” hed look at her eyes. “…..You ask to let me hear you out… I am more then willing to. Your eyes… are such a blessed color.” hed smile. “Show me what future you and yourrs can promise me.” he knew well to be cautious of any deals hed need make. But it was not often power walks itself to your feet and introduces itself. “As the great sage says…The trees deny themselves nothing they need to grow…not rain, nor shine, nor blood upon the stone.”
[attr="class","zavenreescroll"] The moment of wait continued, with the team now split in a rather rushed anger moment, he was thinking further upon how it was all going overall. His speaking of the mind and orders had been given. This place was mutated beyond even through what he had known about before the daemons had a rather heavy hold on it. His eyes moved about the place as he just looked to see what was around the building and the largely separated team, what or rather WHO was moving about, all together in his brain…this was sure a fight that was NOT easy like how he remembered other fights. This was nothing like what he could remember with the great changes and their infuriating grasp of the world. He was not trying to let this overtake him though so he changed his thoughts right then as he prepared himself. He took in the air slowly and with a steady move of his mouth, an easy to see thing, and after nearly ten seconds the first time he gave up the air in about ten seconds. It was easily visible to Amaya, and honestly if the others stayed or the ones that were inside the building looked they would see him doing this. The captain of the Golden Dawn was really doing a buildup of how his blood flowed and making his mind fire up, or that was the reason he was doing so now. If watched it could be labeled, and honestly Zaven did not care because of his growth in the family.of the Blakes. [break][break]
That is when he just thought to himself about incidents that have come to them all inside of his head in a way that was like he was rather lost among what was happening, truthfully if anyone could just see his scenes they would and could take advantage or at least move in on them. He continued to think and see things for a moment, though now was heavily pushed for more than a moment. Instead of just thinking of just…danger and being vocal about it, he took a few deep breaths and then smacked his face as if to bring his mind back to just one thing. It reminded him of what happened in the past that would signify something else, almost how he was perhaps how he acted in the practice area in Umbra…as if not to care who heard him and honestly it would have been seen a reason that could be treated as a way to overtake him or the team. [break][break]
”When addressed as an issue it is a tactic to give some space because they can be watched further, however…if this was to be pushed it could be looked upon as if hunting or rather destroying how citizens, or others could take a heavy surprise amongst themselves moments to potentially pull me apart mentally or tear me apart physically.” [break][break]
The speaking of the mind that he just performed would undoubtedly not grant him silence…he would cause issues right then and there had he just given in and looked away instead of…taking a mere moment. That is when spoke out where he could be heard once more like when he gave orders just moments before being taken out of the building. ”This is truly just a big movement and it is quite annoying, but it is done to make us all rethink and redo actions. The ones that see us are just waiting. This journey we are on is quite annoying as if it is just a practice of some sort of sword but with branches and it just reminds me of the swats I received when I made mistakes.” He smirked and opened his mouth to continue continued as Hhraban came forward and began to play around with Zaven as he just pulled his mantle and nearly ripped it, but the movements made the two look like actual kids until finally Zaven just fell back and sighed…he spoke no further, it was time he just continued to listen instead of causing just more issues.

Sol gave a nod as he heard both Joseph and Zaven approve of himself and Valo being the ones to enter the building as Amaya ripped into Jirou yet again for his comments and Sol had to admit that even as a child she knew how to tear apart a flimsy argument with ease, upon hearing Joseph urging them to be cautious Sol nodded again “we will be Joseph and Captain Rest assured we will get this done” he assured him well as Zaven as he then caught sight of Jirou wandering off to patrol the area and Sol resisted the urge to shake his head at the absurdity of his actions but right now he had other things to deal with. Amaya then started to have a breakdown as she explained she wanted to go home where she was safe and mentioned marriage as well as wanting to be in her mana beasts wings where she could hide and be safe, Sol looked to Valo before motioning to hold for a moment before he approached Amaya.
As she was crying and freaking out over everything even her own mana color he got down to her level and he pulled her into a hug “I know you want to go home Amaya and I promise that once we get out of this forest I’ll escort you home to Hania myself,so just hold on a little more and we will get out of here soon enough” he assured her with a soft smile as he ran a thumb under her eyes to get rid of her tears before he gently placed a kiss on her temple and Stood before he glanced at Joseph “let me know if anything odd happens while we are in their ok Joseph” he said as he approached Valo before taking a breath to steady himself.”Ready Valo then lets go in” he asked before once he got his answer he would move to enter the Mausoleum with his friend making sure not to go to far ahead incase something happened, it killed him to have to leave Amayas side right now given how she was feeling but he knew that this combination was the best one for the situation and he trusted Joseph and Zaven to keep her safe until his return. He only hoped that once they were inside the building that this would go swiftly and without any major complications since he didnt want Hinota to come to harm and he got the feeling that this connection he had with the ones inside that mausoleum were important.
Combat Summary
[attr="class","Solscroll2"] TL;DR: Spells: Items:
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.

Josephs corpse pale pink eyes looked towards Amayas hands. The young man in a child shape tried his best to smile for her, but it was hard to not have a little bit of sadness in his expression. It's said that a smile can go a long way, especially when it's hard to do so. “My pupils are pale because I was barely born.” Other details to add would over complicate things. How easy it would have been for his mother to avoid him being born in such a state didn't matter. Explaining the corpse like look of his eyes wasn't due to genetics also didn't matter. This was already explained in the small amount of words spoken regardless. The pink was a paled version of his mothers red, certainly an intermingling in Ravencrest and Sheingxiao genetics. His fathers eyes had been a pale greenish, his mothers an intense blood red. He didn't know child Amaya, even if he had met the adult one. He could see the signs of who she would become in her, it was interesting and strange. She had already become that future self, which should be her in the present. But this didn't change that the current her was still a child with a form of amnesia.
“I went to the forest as a scout by myself to gather information for the group that would enter later to fight the bad people here, your group. I was trapped by two bad people in the forest and was unable to inform your group of anything useful by the time you came. Those two bad ones are gone and I remained with your group. It is true that mapping and tracking spells are useless here. I had been assuming those people already knew my spells because of the length I had been trapped, but it was probably just the twins that did. I will be more careful from now on to not assume the bad people know all my spells, alright? Though... so you aren't too surprised... there is a chance my mother is one of those bad people. If she is, then I promise that she will never touch you so long as I'm breathing. ” Probably the worst surprise in anyone's life would be his mother. A destroyer of lives who also gave people hope. The magical devices who recorded her voice are held on as treasures that no fan would ever let go of, outside of death. Her speaking of the mana color change was a bad sign. It was hard enough to explain normal things to her.
~How do I explain how or why her mana is different without bringing up deamons? Those are creatures even adults have trouble with. She doesn't have an adults mind right now.~ Her crying and fears spoken of were all things he didn't fully comprehend. People don't merry children off just for going missing, if she thinks she has gone missing. “Your parents died twelve years ago, Leon is a fully grown lion of a mana beast. I know nothing about noble social circles, but I'm sure your status wont be altered by being a magic knight going off to travel to do a magic knight mission. I know loosing your parents can hurt and everything is more fresh due to the memory loss, but everything will be okay. If our group can work together, everything will be fine. It will be difficult, but possible.” The main issue in working together was Jirou. The man seemed to find any excuse he can to not listen to anyone or work with anyone. They were clearly not a team player, but a selfish person. ~Why did Jirou become a magic knight?~ He wasn't sure what he could do to help his cousin stop crying.
He was going to reach out to pat a shoulder, but Sol had hugged her. The hand pulled itself back into his own lap. The other was certainly better than himself at communicating or understanding children. “I'll let you know if anything unusual happens Sol, though I would say Jirou being quiet in of itself is off.” That was a bit disconcerting. Their brows furrowed a bit as their pale eyes started to scan the surroundings. When Zaven spoke, Joseph couldn't help but to stare a bit. “Captain Zaven Blake, that would have been a very good attempt to explain what's going on... if you didn't just sound like the captain that's actually older than all of us here like you are. I'm going to Summon Note and use them to look for Jirou. If any of us wonder too far from each other and from the mausoleum, we could get separated. With note I could find Jirou and make sure he isn't in any trouble. Even if I don't like him, I don't want him to die in the forest.” Letting someone perish because of their own personal feelings wouldn't be okay. Besides, he can't suffer the consequences of his own actions if he dies in the forest to a deamon.
Joseph moved his right hand up and down three times with his first two fingers extended and the other ones curled. Just like the other time note was used, it was not at full power. The rank wouldn't help it be more or less likely to find anyone or anything, but at least this way the thing wouldn't take too much mana. The giant note shaped golem started quickly on its way as soon as it finished forming, keeping its mouth closed. “I want to hug onto Yugo instead of-” Then there was him remembering Zaven was right there. It was an awkward place for his brain to go after the captian had done such a big dad like thing moments ago, trying to make everything look like it was a big game to calm Amaya down. Then again. “-You know what? I don't have to worry about talking about what I wanna do with your... son if your... pretending to be a real kid...” Even as he spoke the words, it felt more and more like a bad idea. “just pretend I didn't say that.” But being somewhere safe and hugging his boyfriend definitely sounded nice, if only he could voice that without sounding like he was desperately thirsty for someone that he hadn't talked to or touched in a long time.

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 balled from the changes. she wasn't one that liked changes out of the blue unless told otherwise, choosing to change was scary as any little change can either raise her up or fall within questioning choices from her friends and family. She knew who she was. She knew her place. She knew the destiny her parents had worked hard and wished to keep after their deaths for her and her brothers. She knew all she needed from the adults that took care of her. she didn't need to think for herself. she didn't need to worry or be anxious if she was right, if she was wrong. The adults knew what was best, that was the world she was use to. That was the world of safety she felt right at home in. If it was a cage with the door open for her to choose. she would keep within it where she was happiest, where nothing could get her or take anything else from her. "I want my bunny....I want my Leone.... I want my brothers, I want to go home, "She rambled between sobs trying her best to get ahold of herself. She was doing a horrible job. She normally would have her brothers for comforting words, Jianyu's suggestions and sweets, her favorite things. She always had Hania's ear when he could lead it to her between his busy life and she had Leone's affection and comfort within the wings of wind aligned mana, the warmth, the comfort. She missed that...She was missing them more then she ever thought.
[break][break]
It was then her ramblings and sobs became muffled as Sol crouched down to where she sat before hugging her. In another state of mind, she might have ripped into him with an accompanied slap as he was at the end of the day a kind strange, but a stranger, neither the less. She was a spoiled noble, who was he to think he could touch her without permission? However she might have one point done so. Instead in this instance. She welcomed the Embrace, the comforting words. Out of everyone in the group so far besides the other female. He was the most kindest that made the most sense to her. Why was everyone thinking of over explaining to her as if she would understand adult things. Why would she care of their words. They made no sense and held nothing of important in her mind.
[break][break]
"T-Thankyou." She said between sniffles slowly calming down she felt him wipe away some straggling tears. She could feel her face grow red as she wasn't sure if it was from the sudden kiss on her temple, a welcomed distraction, or just all the crying and irritation of her wiping her face. She looked over between Joseph and Zaven taking in both of their words as neither was still no help as she pushed Sol away from herself soon after " It is not right to touch a lady without permission.."She said softly wiping away her stray tears. Joseph was getting there, still having the issue of over explaining and not making things short, sweet, and child like for her to understand. Once again he was speaking of her and the family. She didn't know him. It was then she heard him speak of her parents as she stood up balling up her fists. "I AM 8 YEARS OLD. GET IT! Eight! MY PARENTS DIDN'T DIE TWELVE YEARS AGO! THEY DIED TWO WHEN MY BROTHERS AND I RECENTLY TURNED 6! Don't speak if you don't know anything, Cause you know nothing about them or me! So Stop Acting like you do! Stop speaking ill of such a situation! My parents Died....In that burning summer home, trying to protecting me! Don't ever speak of things you don't understand!" She shouted in sudden anger. If there was one thing that ticked her off in guise of hiding her sadness, it was speaking of her parents. Even at 18, while she understood death could take anyone at any moment. She was still a human that wondered what her life would be like if her parents were alive. Would they be happy with her choices? Would they be happy with the one she found love in? Would they be mad? Sad? What would they look like now if they were still alive, still breathing. Would she have younger siblings? Would Leone turn out different? So many questions older Amaya did often wonder when she saw their painting.
[break][break]
She could feel her blood boil as Joseph spoke of her family. Her grip tightened on her sleeves as she hugged herself and ahold of her staff. She then towards towards Zaven " You are just as bad. Stop talking to me like an adult. I Don't care of circumstances and redo of choices. You don't know me either." She said letting go of her sleeves as she moved away from the little pow wow around her as she watched Sol walk towards Valo. She wanted to go with him. She wanted to go home. She didn't want to be stuck here with these strangers that just keep setting her off. her eyes were burning from all the crying and surely her makeup wasn't doing well to handled the water works. " C-come back soon alright...P-Please." She managed to get out as she turned away from Joseph and Zaven, walking off. Oddly in the same direction Jirou had went, whether she knew it or not. She just wanted to get away, to be alone. To ball in some corner and wait for a rescue. She watched Joseph zaven and sol speak of a small plan, with sol telling joseph to watch her. Zaven telling joseph to follow jirou only for joseph to summon a scout golem to do the job for him.
[break][break]
She was mad, sad, scared, pissed. Words couldn't describe her thought processes. She raised her hands up cupping them over her ears to drown out Zaven and joseph if they tried to follow and speak to her. She wanted to be left alone, to go home, to forget. Her ice blue eyes felt more silent tears escape as she closed them walking in Jirou's direction. She tried get some sensory, anything would do. She felt like she was about to have a panic attack and faint from the sensory white noise feeling like it was suffocating her and all her feelings coming down on her. How her shaking body hadn't just given in and collapse from all the feelings was thanks to the andreline of the constant reminder of the nightmare forest. There was no life, no feeling, it all felt null and void, it felt empty and cold. a similar feeling to the last time she saw her parents when they were laid to rest.
[break][break]
She quickly opened her eyes when the sound of jirou's voice. She opened her eyes standing a few feet from Jirou in confusion. Why was he out here? Wasn't he suppose to be near the mausoleum? She was still uneasy around jirou they had a heated spat and every part of her still screamed to avoid him regardless. "H-Hey...W-w-we need to get back....to the Masoleum...to welcome....Hinota back..."She said feeling her fear and want to run trying to prevent her from staying. Jirou was close to Hinota yes? As her brother, he should wish to want to be there for when she comes out right? That was what her heart felt should be the answer through its terrified racing beats. Her large Ice blue eyes looked away from Jirou. She felt her feet slowly stepping as she was ready to turn and run at a moments notice.[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.
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.
Ability Appearance: two streaks of navy blue strands that give off a look of glitter. Her left eyes turns pure white with a glow and a wanning crescent moon in the middle of her forehead[break]
Dive Activation:Slowly she spin the staff next to her left side with her left hand while continuing the spin behind her back, to the right side, infront of her then above her head before pulling it down infront with both hands stopping the spinlooks like this.[break]
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
The owner must spin the staff once clockwise and have it stop in the position it started to activate this ability. Around the intended target, a semi-translucent multicoloured wave of cosmic energy can be seen engulfing them. This energy not only warms the one engulfed by it but also heals them for Senior rank damage, at most, If applied for two posts, can regrow digits A.K.A Fingers and if applied for 4 posts can regrow limbs and minor/smaller non-vital organs.. Due to the nature of healing magic, this spell will also actively attempt to cleanse negative effects such as debuffs, hexes, curses, poisons, toxins etc. as per the clashing rules. With the use of the ammo rules however additional waves can be created.
The owner must spin the staff once anti-clockwise and have it stop in the position it started to activate this ability. The brightness and heat coming from the staff becomes far more intense. Thrusting the staff forward as if the intent is to stab someone creates an intricate seal almost looking like the same aurora that is at the top of the staff, from within it comes an almost molten rock due to the fire surrounding it. Moving the staff forward will send the comet in the same general direction if the comet misses but gets near it will do first-degree burns but if it does direct contact it will not only do Intermediate rank damage but also minor second-degree burns. Due to the nature of the staff, a knockback will happen which is 5m +2m for every 10 power the owner has. With the use of the ammo rules, additional seals and comets can be created.

The owner must half spin the staff and touch the ground with the tip around the owner is created a simple circle one meter around them that resembles the one on the staff. Rising from the circle comes an aurora, someone may think that this is almost like a shield but that is far from the case, as an ice spike seems to come from it. Moving the staff to be the right way up and moving the hand holding the staff forward will launch the shard in the same general direction, if a shard manages to hit an opponent not only would it do senior rank damage but give frostbite to the area it struck. Additionally, while within the circle the owner will be healed for a Senior rank damage, at most, If applied for two posts, can regrow digits A.K.A Fingers and if applied for 4 posts can regrow limbs and minor/smaller non-vital organs, this spell will also actively attempt to cleanse negative effects such as debuffs, hexes, curses, poisons, toxins etc as per the clashing rules.

Appearance & Lore:
"Even if you were to look forever not all mysteries can be unravelled."
A semi elegantly designed rose gold bracelet that is around an inch and a half in height with a smokey quartz stone in the centre around a inch height and three quarter in width.
The Spade Kingdom is known for its dictatorship and harshness towards its citizens more so if they show any sort of potential. A young girl was one such person and so was dragged away from her parents one night when she was sleeping, as she was dragged out her parents managed to hand her a bracelet meant to be given to her when she came of age.
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.
At first she tried to ignore it but eventually gave in and followed the instructions given to her, from the instructions she was able to make several golems and with their help she managed to gain her freedom. 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.

Mana Cost:23 ¦ 12
Range & Speed: Long Distance ¦ 40 m/s
Stats Affected: N/A
Description:
The bearer of the bracelet moves their hand over the smokey quartz stone of the bracelet while saying the name of the person they want to speak to. From the bracelet, a liquid amethyst like substance seems to appear and form into a perfect replica of the person they want to talk before hardening while in front of the person they want to talk to the same liquid-like amethyst substance appears in front of them making a perfect replica of the bearer of the bracelet allowing them to converse face to face so to speak. As this is a long Ranged communication spell, the barer can speak to others in entirely different regions (Same Region). Additionally, this is only a intermediate long-distance communication spell it can be used to contact 3 people at a time however with time and effort it would be possible to advance this ability.
By uttering the words "Show me the way." the bearer of this bracelet releases what can only be described as a very fine amethyst almost invisible mist that seems to creep out to survey the area ten meters around them as it does in front of them a three-dimensional model at 1 /10th of the actual size appears in front of them, within them. This model is highly detailed model and shows even the smallest flaw. Within the structure it is easy to see anybody within the area as it is easy to tell friend with their models being a pastel purple as foe has a much deeper purple to their figures. above Each individual marker will be dots. At this current stage the Spells is only able to tell who is within the strength and range of the caster's own strength 1 being weaker or about the same strength as the caster 2 dots for being stronger then the caster, but with more training the strength of the spell can reveal more
The bearer need only tap the smokey quartz-like gem three times with their index finger to activate this ability. An amethyst like smoke seems to creep out of it and creates a cloud around four meters in each direction soon enough the smoke dissipates and where it once was, sits a pale amethyst dragon around nine meters tall by 11 feet long. Using ammo rules more of these dragons can be created capping at 3 as this is a Senior spell and is able to carry 3 people on their back. This dragon golem seems friendly enough but will follow its owner orders via an unseen magical tether using its long horns, claws, teeth, butterfly-like wings and tail as weapons for attacking. With some time training, the golems could get advance in development although it also means less would be able to be made.
The User of Angel's breath will receive the applied perk Divine Rite

The healing is so potent that it can regrow digits in a single round, and regrow small and non-vital organs in 3 rounds, while larger and vital limbs can be regrown in 3 rounds. Surprisingly due to the traits of angelic magic, it can resurrect a dead person within 2 rounds of their passing.

"Don't need a reason to seek strength."
Sol was in agreement with Valo, and it seemed so was most of the team. Jirou seemed to be in his own mind though which at this point wasn't surprising anymore, he started to talk about how many lives he saved which in a group full powerful and accomplished magic knights went nowhere. Valo felt no need to comment on it, he didn't care enough for the convo he wanted to get back in and get Hinota.
Leaving Zaven, Joseph, Jirou and Amaya together. Valo honestly started to feel for Amaya, she was still a little girl and it was clear she was overwhelmed by everything going on. He could tell Joseph wanted to help, but he may have been confusing the poor girl. Sol did his best to comfort her though, hopefully they could get her back to her adult self sooner than later. "Watch each other's back everyone, we'll be back before you know it!" Valo said to the team. He had faith they will be ok, hopefully Jirou wouldn't get them in anymore trouble.
Once Sol was done Anata and Valo followed towards the building, heading back inside. For just moment Valo touched his head and then continued to look forward. He still didn't understand where his father's voice was coming from, was it the forest? Or was it his own imagination?
"Master Valorisse something troubles you?" Anata asked him with concern in her voice. Despite his focus, she could tell there was a slight distraction with him. Valo hesitated before answering, he had gotten a lot closer to Anata and Kiyoshi over the months so much so that he didn't feel right not telling her the truth. "My father has been coming to mind a lot is all. The angrier, the more frustrated I get the clearer I can hear him. Even though I haven't spoken to him since I was child. But it's nothing i'll be alright." Valo answered.
"Your relationship with your father is very estranged, he may have always been a symbol or target for your anger and now it is coming to fruition? Do not let anger guide you, your to good for that." Anata replied trying to give Valo something to think about. Valo nodded. "Thank You Anata."
He would catch up to Sol. "I know I don't have to, but thank you Sol. Not only for coming but for being a great friend and partner. Just in case I don't get the chance to say this later, but no one deserves to be the Captain of Green Mantis more than you. When we get back and you beat old man Barron that position is yours." Valo said to his friend, he was truly at ease with Sol being here. "No matter what they throw at us, we got this." Valo said to Sol holding his fist out for a fist bump as they headed back to that room. Anata had a smile on her face behind them.

[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."
Jirou hadnt noticed her at first, but he noticed her as she stepped out. This oman….. something felt off. He wwasnt quite sure but as he watched her move his eyes met hers and he felt… a sense of danger. He was a predator by nature, and by natures own rules there are only those below him known as prey. But there was a third type of lifeform… those that try to operate as a middle ground. Fools. All of those that would act as an omnivore for the world is a fol. Humanity is meant to grow strength through taking. Through being the conqueror. This woman had eyes that samore then they should have. When she spoke, hed notice how she stood between him and amaya with a presence like a sheep dog guarding its flock. Foolish woman. What good could she do to save Amaya? H didn’t care at this time and knew from the way the girl looked at him that she knew more then she should. Had she seen them? Was she unaffected by the sensory whitenoise?
He would not smile at her but hed also not just attack her. Hed gently look from Amaya to the girl and hed smile softly. “I was unaware another had joined our group. It seems it grows every hour or so.” hed smile and walk toward the two, but hed place himself to keep amaya safe. “….I suggest you allow her room to walk… she doesn’t hande strangers well, and I can tell ive never heard of or seen a woman like you in the Magic Knights.” hed make sure amaya was safe. First and formost. Letting this woman have her way with the group would be dangerous no doubt. Hed make sure to make his actions clear to Amaya that he was acting as a defender for her. That he didn’t trust this woman and if she had been taught properly shed see he stood ready to attack if need be, or shake hands if need be.
Once he knew she wasn’t a threat hed relax, yet as she spoke the bloodlust in him grew in a quiet subtle way. Of he would make sure she suffered. Yet he made sure with all his will power to keep his bloodlust hidden. As they walked he took note of every bit of her body he could. Every ounce of information. He knew exactly here hed cut to paralys her so he could do as we pleases. Her skin would make a good rug no doubt. He walked along side the two and made sure that if amaya needed to be protected he could do so. As they found Zavena nd Joseph.he continued to just listen to her words. He didn’t need to do anything besides act calmly. He and amaya were making good, and he knew if he acted badly hed lose her trust. Yet when this woman reached for Amayas hand hed get in the way before she could get close enough.
Hed look up at her and hed hold his fan like a knife. “You overstep your trustworthyness. I already failed to keep my sister safe, I shall not let anyone hurt Amaya.” his words rang with a truth. With an understanding that he was going to make sure Amaya and Hinota got out safetly…if only so they could be of use to Jirou in the future. He kept his eyes locked with hers, hed not let her act as she wished and hed make sure that he came out looking the best.
