[attr="class","zavenreescroll"] When the speaking moment was done and everything was pushed out amongst the forest he was at a loss because of what happened next. Amaya bolted…Jirou was still gone…Joesph was now with him and had done his own thing to create a bridge. Yet it left them thinking and showing that…there was still a large problem that was not just a member of their team being away, an angry styled walk, or their minds being THAT far from each other. Zaven found himself just out of tongue once again as now she escaped to the route that Jirou took. He scratched his head and just closed his eyes as some of the ones watching laughed while others made noises that were a bit demeaning to him. He took the moment as a way to just intake air for a few seconds and then exasperated, pushing the air out, and in the same exit of air he tied his thoughts and the issues that had shown then and there. He did it so that the good was separated as the team that was currently there and suffering this rather obscene bullshit that made him just want to burn the entire place down even though they were the ones that were there in his head. He opened his eyes and Hraban was there still as Zaven most likely tried to talk as he needed to, and eliminate and further give up his emotions. The spirit that was in his view in which the being of the universe and the animalistic looking spirit landed on a rock near the two left and just stared at his partner before speaking where he could even be heard. [break][break]
“This again is enough…Joseph it is good that you tried to come back and do the right thing, but the ways that YOU two took this was…just dumb. Do not sit on your ass and act like a dumb kid that you looked like before now. I should just leave, but YOU ZAVEN…we spoke about this before, and when you went away from the team. You have had issues, tried to be nice, tried to be something that was like flipping a damn piece of gold. YOU HAVE BEEN AN ADULT, YOU have been a leader, and a fighter…most of all a regarded Captain that took over a much noted and strong fighting unit…now you have issues. Joseph, do not think I have not seen you or what you do on your own time. I am not calling you the same damn issue, but the two of you have memories, levels of knowledge, and no ways to act or answer them…Think about what you have been told while leaving the last area…not yourself or how you might have messed up the situation. Go find who you need to find, before these…Witches take the time and strike us as if we were or are good ways to gain power while here.” It was then that Hraban looked at the two of them, and looked almost like a crow once more before the shadows cast led the spirit back to Zaven’s shoulder as Zaven stood. The Golden Dawn Captain wanted to say something more, but he did nothing as Hraban seemed…unconnected to him mentally and right now in real life. So Zaven looked at Joesph and sighed. ”Let us, go to find them both since they left without us just chasing.” Zaven said as he would wait for the head movement or a signaled yes before they would take off. [break][break]
It did not take them long as Zaven continued to mentally think of something to talk to Hraban about, but the spirit spoke or acknowledged Zaven…This could have gotten worse because of the stuff that was going on and how Zaven moved mentally and physically. Quickly he was moving and following the steps that Amays had given the dirt and he started to push farther, he knew that the others could ensure the building that they were in was not just a…way to split them up to be tactical, but they…needed to all work together, wait for the indoor issues were taken care of and to get back in enough time to protect them in case things got worse…As they followed the steps if they were actually together.

Sol had been ready for a slap incase he had gone to far with Amaya but as she accepted the hug he was happy he could give her some comfort as she thanked him and turned red from the kiss to her temple before he felt her push him away stating that it was not right to touch a lady without permission. Sol didnt fight her on that as he understood that she was only 8 mentally at the moment so he nodded and stood back up.”my apologies Amaya I mearly wanted to comfort you next Time I'll ask” he said calmly respecting the boundrys she had set, as he heard Joseph explain that she was an adult as well as her parents fate before Amaya blew up at him Sol could only facepalm at the foolish decision.”joseph next time you try to explain you might want to run it in your head a few times first remember the mindset of who your talking to” he said gently not trying to be mean but make him understand that he was speaking in a way far above a childs mindset.
As he and Valo had turned to the entrance of the Mausoleum Sol heard Amaya say to make sure he came back and he turned to her with a smile “Rest assured Amaya nothing will stop me from returning to you" he said with affection in his tone as he and Valo entered into the mausoleum. As they went in Valo told the decay mage that he was a good friend and partner and that no one else deserved to be captain of his squad more.” rest assured I'll take the spot from him but be aware once we are done with this mission and are healed up I owe you a punch for leaving the squad without warning me” he said a bit joking at the end but it was clear he did intent to collect on that punch. Valo had confidence that they had this no matter what they threw at them they would get thru this and at that Sol nodded his head.”agreed though lets make sure that violence is a last resort I get the feeling that if we are careful and respectful that we can deal with this with no blood shed” he said knowing that brute force would do more harm then good most likely.
“lets hope we can get some answers as well as Hinotas safe return, not only that I want to know this feeling I am getting when I was around those girls” he said remembering that it was the same feeling he got with near Elysi and that made him even more curious,
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.

Come back? Run it through his mind a few times? “I don't have a reference point in my head to use, not from my own life. If anyone wants to help me understand how to talk to children, I'm all ears. I don't like making mistakes.” Talking like Joseph should know better was suggesting he had a better reference than he really did. You don't see people have serious talks with kids or how to do it when watching others, not really. It's not in any medical books on how to speak to children properly, at least none that he had seen. That was not his field of expertise and the young man hadn't seen every medical book in the country of Clover. He wanted to be better talking with kids, understanding kids, but wanting something didn't automatically give someone the knowledge and skills they lacked. ~The only person who's given me suggestions so far was a deamon, but it was still something. Why did I think it was a good idea to try talking to her again?~ That last question was a good one, but not something the child sized adult knew the answer to. What had he gone though by the time he was six? No longer being deaf or mute, climbing over rotting bodies, and much more.
By then he at least knew that with some people they could look amazing and speak sweet, but actually be quite cruel. There were still a lot of missing memories and it felt a bit like the bad ones were easier to retrieve from the mind than anything else. Everyone could do something to be useful, but it seemed like he couldn't find anything or do anything to be useful so far for the group. ~Did I ever get angry when someone died? When someone asked me about it?~ The question was asked towards himself, trying to pull something out. ~No, I refused to talk about it and locked it away.~ Despite being cousins, the two didn't deal with things the same way. Even when those people were spoken of in a way he saw as a lie or that bothered him, there had never seemed like a point in trying to make corrections. His mothers fans talking about her or listening to her music, there was nothing to be done about that either. ~I just ignored it when people said lies, or things that I thought were lies, or sounded off about dead family. That doesn't help.~ Rizpaw looked over at Hiraban, feeling a bit annoyed. “Don't try to pretend you understand my partner.”
Her goal had been to up his confidence, but she wasn't going to run his life for him. She would help when it seemed like he needed help talking more, or taking action. She felt taking the wrong steps was still better than nothing at all and worked to teach in the long run. If anyone asked her if he had been stupid, she would say yes. Joseph looked over towards his carbon matter spirit, coming to a slow realization. “Did... you want me to ask for your help in talking with children? Do you even know how?” This certainly gained a slightly annoyed look on the spirits deer face in the form of an ear that turned a bit. “Yes.” With that she followed after Amaya though Zavens trailing. “But you're bad at asking the right people the right questions, so I understand.” That felt like a shot to the chest, but maybe something he needed to hear. Of course the man wasn't going to not follow, even if Amaya was clearly not happy with him. The fact that he had someone who could have helped if he had asked the entire time right there but had dismissed the possibility made it just a bit worse. “I'm sorry Rizpaw.”
“Apologize to Amaya next.” Her voice went to a neutral tone, her ears moving back to a more normal position. “Yes.” Joseph spoke, still feeling the slight sting. It was bad enough to accidentally chase her off into possible very bad danger, but realizing there had been a way for him to learn what he needed to... Even if Rizpaw didn't exactly look social, she wasn't a young and inexperienced spirit. ~Why didn't I even think asking was a possibility?~ At this point he had unsummoned the golem. It was pretty useless to have it out if they were heading out anyway.

Amaya looked towards the side from where she stood trying her best to avoid looking at him while resisting the urge to run the opposite direction. they didn't see eye to eye for more reasons then one. It was then she heard him do something...spoke in a more honest prospection of his actions, he was....Crying? She looked up from the ground at him as she listened to him actually, maybe, speak his feelings.
[break][break] "Well...If it is any consolation. Mother and father use to always tell my b-b-b-brothers that some day...i-i-i I won't need their protection as someday I-I-I-I-I will have a husband and a family of my own, and power of my own to handle my powers. that right now, it is all training for when...they meet the right woman when they are older and for when they have daughters of their own. I been told the best things a brother can do for his baby sister....Is to be supportive. To not keep her hidden in his shadow, but help her learn to stand strong for who she is. After all...If a woman can not be strong on her own two feet. How can she ever raise strong childern? Or so mother use to tell me when I was feeling useless or unable to be as strong, or as brave or not as clumsy or not so ditzy like them. My brothers can be mean when they try to protect my feelings or protect me, but they know as I do, that I will always look for their support over their power, cause that is what means the most as we all were born the same time." She said growing a bit more at ease talking to jirou.
[break][break] "Mom always said to see another, you must put yourself in their shoes, see the world as they do. While you might....not be them...keeping an open heart and an open mind could lead to so many doors to open to brighter futures...Or something like that. "She spoke in suggestion. He had already proven he would never listen to anyone but himself , but the sight of him right now was much more welcoming. "I.....I am sorry as well for...well...everything....I just dont know what to do, who is who, who to trust...."She said gently "the adults were always better telling them what I need to do."She muttered pulling her staff closer to herself as she shyed away from Jirou keeping space between them. it wasn't just the fact she didn't trust him, he was still a boy, a male. It was unlady like to be in such unknown company. She nodded to accepting the offer of going back. she was a little bit better and relieved to calm herself down. She slowly followed alongside jirou towards the others soon seeing zaven had followed them. "We are heading back...to everyone."She said as she walked past the child captain. her eyes darting around, scanning the area. She was still nervous, her body still shaking and uncertain if it was tired, exhausted, or just collaspe out of all she was feeling.[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.
Mana Cost:33 Initial Cost ¦ 36 Recharge Cost[break]
Range & Speed:80m ¦40 m/s[break]
Stats Affected: +6 Power[break]
Description:[break]
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. With the use of ammo rules, additional circles can be made that allow others to not only gain benefits from the healing but allow the owner to be able to shoot the extra shards from those locations.
Class & Type: Relic ¦ Accessory (bracelet)
Magic Specializations: Sensory ¦ Golem Creation
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.
Rank & Specialization:Senior ¦ Sensory ¦ Communication (Long Distance)
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
Appearance & Lore:
A Hair pin with a long gold pin having a tassel of white blue and gold embellishments hanging on one end. A Very special pin made for Amaya from her cousin Hania upon returning with a new found understanding and growth towards a much brighter future upon her 18th birthday.
Range & Speed:  80 meters, 40 m/s
Stats Affected: +10 m/s
Description:
Upon raising her hand running her index and middle finger of her right hand along the pin from her hair to the end of the tassel. the tassel will activate the spell. A light pink glow forms from the Tassel while speak the name of the target. The glow will form a small ping ball size orb flying to the target, enveloping them in its gentle pink light. Additional names are needed to create more via Ammo rules ( 50 control per = 1). The spell will heal for senior damage. 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. In addition to this, the spell will require 10 less control then needed to cleanse any negative effects that may be on them regardless of if it is a debuff, hex, curse, poison, toxin etc. In addition to the healing the light will grace the target with a + 10 m/s
A delicate looking silver key with butterfly wings at the top embedded with three sky blue crystals, there is a chain on the length of the bar that has a blue rose at the end. It is said those with this key will be blessed by the forest.
Turning the key to the left activates the ability attached to the key. The holder can either create a single large butterfly that looks like it has been made out of the petals of a bluebell or can make a set of butterfly wings made out of the petals of bluebells. It doesn't matter which is decided it only allows for 5 people to be transported at any one time at 25 m/s. This item can be upgraded by finding a mage holding the matching element.
[break][break] The woman would smile at Jirou as he spoke, she held an elegant air around herself as if she was a woman of quite good standing amongst her peers. She could tell the darkness in him, it was so thick she swore she could cut it with a knife and wondered how none of those travelling with him had noticed it. She could understand his sister as she would have grown accustomed to it and would think little of it but still, she had to wonder if the more veteran of the group was completely blind more so as the eldest male of the family had warned Zaven about him. Then again the man likely wouldn't take anything the enemy said as truth and that would likely bite the group in the ass as out of all the daemons in the forest it was the males that couldn't outright lie. [break][break] She would stop him from putting his fan to her chin, at his height even if he stood on his toes he still wouldn't be able to reach her head. "There is no need for that now your highness, I am well aware of your status compared to my own." she said with an almost warm tone. "Of course, I know of you your highness, you are an imperial of my homeland, it would be improper not to know the family that runs the country do you not think?" she would ask him giving her a plausible reason to know who he was. "I guess that is true, you would be expected to wear many masks due to your status something a woman like myself wouldn't know about. I am just expected to obey my husband's needs and raise a family." she said her voice thoughtful. [break][break] "It is quite amazing that you are able to wear such heavy masks as if they were nothing, if only my late husband had managed such a feat perhaps..." she trailed off as if she wasn't wanting to bring up such a painful memory. What he said made her seem confused as she had never interacted with Jirou before this point so she had to wonder who he was speaking of "I assure you this is the first time we have ever met." she said with a quiet tone that sounded puzzled hoping that he would give her more information on who exactly she was going to have to kill. "Ah, my clothing..." she smiled "It was something my late husband had crafted for me, you see he was from Clover and wanted something that fused my homeland with his and so I wear it to honour his memory." she explained to him yet another thing she knew he would understand. [break][break] She shook her head "I have two Eastern parents but they betrothed me to a Western man of considerable status to boost their own standing. I was unhappy about it but I was a dutiful daughter and done as I was told as not to shame my family." she explained to him. "As I said, I wear this as a way to honour my late husband as it was the last gift he had crafted for me before his untimely death." she said her eyes looking at the ground "I can understand why you believe why I am betraying my homeland but I assure you that is not the case and it is cruel to speak of the man I once loved in such a horrible manner." she almost sounded offended at his words. Her eyes looked at him as he spoke of how they were such a blessed colour. [break][break] "I guess that is why my parents married me off to my late husband." she said quietly her eyes looking behind him "Alas, that conversation will have to wait till our next meeting as your friends seem to have found us and such things should be spoken about in private. I am sure we will have a chance in the future, please stay alive until then and trust no one you travel with as they will attempt to weaken your resolve to your true calling and ascension." she warned him, with a bow she would leave him there allowing for others to find him. She would watch from the shadows interested in how he would play this to the others as he seemed to be one who threw tantrums when he didn't get what he wanted or if something didn't go the way he wanted. [break][break]
Near the mausoleum
[break][break] While Jirou was speaking to the unknown woman Zaven seemed not to have a care in the world as he played around with his spirit. It was true he was getting irritated by the forest but he was experienced enough to know that only some things could be faced head on and doing so could and would cause issues. At that point he didn't even seem concerned that Jirou was on his own and could possibly come across one of the daemons or even another enemy, he also didn't seem too upset that Joseph flatly refused to go to find him. Truly, what the man should have done was prevented Jirou from leaving or if he felt like he needed some time to get his thoughts together allow him only to go as far as they could see as currently everyone including golems were completely sensory blind. [break][break] Sol attempted to make those who were to remain outside feel at ease that they would do everything they could to bring the flower mage back out safely. Sol had noticed how Jirou had wandered off after Amaya had once again put him in the place, it was clear that the normally albino male had, had enough of the other's tantrums but said nothing on the matter. He noticed how Amaya was and patted Valo on the shoulder showing he'd be right back he moved to his currently mentally younger girlfriend to help her feel more at ease. He moved to his knees in front of her and pulled her into a hug whispering into her ears that everything would be fine and that he would take her home personally to Hania she just needed to wait a little longer before that was possible. He had no idea if it would do much but she was receptive to it. [break][break] He used his thumbs to wipe the tears under her eyes away and told Joseph to let him know if anything odd happened outside while he and Valo were inside. With that he raised and went back to Valo asking if he was ready to go in. He would be able to hear Joseph attempt to explain why he was in the forest but although he was this time somewhat succeeding in making it more manageable to understand to a child-friendly manner it was still an adult topic. It was then he made a mistake by saying that the eight year old's parents died twelve years ago meaning she and her brothers wouldn't have been born. "Do you know how to speak to children? Asking for a friend." a female voice would ask walking from the treeline. [break][break] She was eighteen years old had long green wavy hair and was dressed in a simple pale blue dress with a baby pink bow that came halfway down her knees and had vibrant pink coloured eyes. "I'm Analise." she said with a small wave. Looking at the screaming Amaya "Oh the birds of this area aren't going to be happy with the disruption, miss would you mind not yelling at him please I understand he seems to be a bit dense but he's been in here for a while." she pointed to a nest above her "Babies are trying to sleep." she said her voice was sweet. "And I assure you I've got no daemon blood in me and before it asked no daemon pact either." she reassured the group although she knew that they would likely be cautious of her. She moved to Amaya and bent over "You are really pretty, I bet you have one hell of a beauty routine, care to share with me?" she would ask ignoring Joseph who by now was falling proverbially over his own feet as he spoke of what he wanted to do to his boyfriend. [break][break] "I understand you have went through a bit of a change with your mana colour from what I heard travelling here." she said sympathetically "There are very bad people that want to do very bad things to those that reside in this forest and beyond, but, one of them done their best to protect those inside and out by sealing themselves inside the forest and even a house." she said bring up a hand with some shadow as if doing a shadow puppet show for her. "This man saw that people entering would be in danger so broke the seal on his imprisonment to help them but in doing so it meant that darkness within him once again awoke." she continued showing everything. [break][break] "He brought the group back to his home that the other bad people couldn't find but he couldn't tell the group he also had that same darkness that could make him a bad person but gave them as much information as he could so they would be kept safe." she said and touched Amaya's clothing "He even gave one young girl some of his own clothes that offered protection from some of the damage the bad people would try and do to her." she said showing the amethyst scriptures "Because his clothing has a rare magic called spectra on it." she would divulge to Amaya "Unfortunately that darkness changes the man but he fights it and so far he has been winning against it but when the darkness occasionally wins due to the man's bloodline and the darkness colliding if he touches anything it might change in some way." she said sadly [break][break] "The man touched you but while the darkness was in control, the clothing allowed him to regain enough of who he really was that the darkness could do nothing but change your mana into two new pretty colours it looks like." she said showing the shadow changing into the two colours of Amaya's mana. "The man doesn't want to do any harm to anyone, in fact, the man is a member of the church of Gnome." she said standing back up "I was given something special so I could see his home and I brought him some food daily, I spoke to him through the door. He spoke of his pregnant wife who had also been here five years ago and how he had to accept the darkness so he could protect them." she said sounding sad about the fact her eyes going to the mausoleum "But it didn't." she didn't delve further than that. [break][break] She watched as the white-haired girl stood up and walked off, she waved to the two men "I'll go with her, I can navigate this forest really well." she would say before looking at Joseph "And I don't need a map spell to do it." she would say with a grin before walking after her to make sure she was safe "So miss, what's your name and why are those boys speaking to you like you have any clue what's going on?" she would ask her "They have no idea how to speak to women hu?" she would say offering her hand for Amaya to take. "The man's name is Elysi Delothosin by the way." she said allowing her to know who the good man fighting a dark thing was. She moved quietly with her "You know miss, not all change is as bad as it first seems." she said turning her eyes to look at her "Usually raw mana only has one colour at a time, but you are very, very special as your raw mana has two colours now. I bet your friends will be jealous." She said trying to put a good spin on it. [break][break]
Elsewhere in the forest
[break][break] She would stop Amaya for a second moving in front of her protectively her eyes narrowing, what allowed her to find Elysi's house also protected her from the sensory noise. She knew exactly what was ahead and would await for the woman to depart before moving forward keeping Amaya behind her just in case she had hidden her presence. Seeing Jirou alone she would step aside allowing Amaya to handle her wayward 'friend'. She watched the act that Jirou was putting on but given who was just in front of him she knew it was all an act but she wouldn't speak on it right now as it would only scare Amaya and that was something she was attempting to avoid. "I am sure that is not the case, a little sister always looks up to their big brothers for protection and guidance but if it isn't given to them of course they would look elsewhere for it." she said giving him a wave. [break][break] "I'm Analise by the way." she would have asked who it was he was speaking to but that was something that would do no good at current "I was young once and I can tell you little girls do act out when scared but having those they rely on not there when they need them the most because they don't like what was said or how it was said..." she shook her head "It... it doesn't end well." she wasn't going to elaborate on that "I'm guessing this isn't something she is used to at her age, then that makes you even more important as the tether to what is her safety. So what is her safety tether doing away from her?" she would ask "And it's a bad look for a boy like yourself to be playing victim when she is the one afraid." she added before looking at Amaya [break][break] "If your family was here would they ever leave your side to cry because you didn't like what you said?" she would ask just so she could hear it from someone younger in the same predicament as his own sister. She would step aside allowing Amaya to give some words of wisdom that was given to her when she was very young. "Your mother and father seemed like wise people." she said walking beside them. Waving as they came across Zaven and Joseph as they seemed a little at odds but her eyes went to the spirit on Zaven's shoulder and the walking by Joseph "Is everything alright?" she would ask the spirits ignoring the two men at current as if they weren't there. They would sense there was something off about the woman but could tell that she was no threat. Her eyes then turned to Joseph and Zaven [break][break] "Things seem tense at current between this group, but why did you let them wander off? This forest is dangerous or did you both forget?" she would ask the pair finding it so odd that this group seemed so splintered. A smile was forever plastered on her face as she spoke, it was clear that she was hiding something but she hadn't acted in a way that would cause her to seem like a threat. She could have easily taken out Jirou and Amaya when they were separated from the group but she hadn't. "You need to remain together going forward or bad things will happen." she warned. "Some of those who wield darkness in this part of the forest will attempt to tempt those who are alone." she informed them "While others will attack when isolated or have animals do it" she finished looking to the canopy. "It's going to rain soon we should get back to the mausoleum and stay close." she said walking back taking Amaya's hand as she did so. [break][break]
meanwhile at the mausoleum
[break][break] Valo and Sol had been left on their own with the wraith princess to deal with what lay inside the mausoleum. As Sol previously had been dealing with Amaya, Valo had been speaking with Anata telling her what was going on which had previously concerned the woman. She had managed to guide him as to why it may be the case and not to allow it to take over. When Sol returned he informed him that after this he should take on Captain Barron and beat him as no other than he deserved it, bringing up his hand for a fist bump saying that no matter what came their way they would beat it together showing that he was indeed ready to move forward once returned. The decay mage stated that he would take the spot after the deployment but after that, he would be giving him a punch for changing squads without a word. [break][break] He had a playful tone but Valo would know that he intended to collect that punch at some point. Sol had agreed with him but put forward that fighting should be a last resort and believed they could likely get what they wanted if they were careful and respectful with those that dwelled within. He wanted answers but of course, they both hoped for the floral mage's safe return. As they walked in nothing had changed but the girls had moved one was sitting at the bottom of the casket that had the woman and the other sitting at the bottom of Hinota's. "Why did you wish to enter here?" the one on the first casket would ask "It is clear she was distressed but not one of you noticed and so she sought solace here with us and our mother." the one at the bottom of the casket that held Hinota "So why do you care now?" the first one asked. [break][break]
[attr="class","header2"]GM Notes
[break] [break][break] Joseph has yet again fumbled the ball by speaking about things without taking into consideration the mindset of the one he was speaking to, while Sol was comforting Amaya, Joseph found himself tripping over his feet when speaking to Zaven about Yugo. It was then a mysterious girl appeared asking Joseph a question about if he knew how to speak to children and even added she was asking for a friend before speaking to Amaya who at that point had enough of both Joseph and Zaven so moved off to find Jirou with they mysterious girl Analise moving with her. Zaven acted more like a child before the shadow spirit told both Joseph and his own partner off for their behaviour. Even the carbon spirit had some words to Jospeh on the goings on of late. With this going on the pair went after the wayward Amaya and Jirou. Jirou who was unknowingly having a conversation with one of the daemonesses, the one that Joseph hated the most no less. Once she felt people approaching she took her leave just as Amaya and Analise arrived. The three had a conversation before heading back to the mausoleum but along the way they came across Joseph and Zaven where Analise first spoke to the spirits before their partners. Meanwhile, at the mausoleum Valo and Sol had a bit of bonding before heading back into the mausoleum seeing that everything was the same but the girls had moved. They opened the conversation with two questions and a statement. [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 smiled when Sol said that he had to punch him for not letting him know he switched squads. "Haha it happened really fast! Considering the timing of everything I didn't really get a chance to tell anyone really." Valo replied chuckling. "Hino is probably annoyed about it too, but you both were so busy!"
Valo heard Sol's words about not jumping straight into violence. "Yes, yes we shall talk and reason with them to the best of our ability. I know I know." Valo replied jokingly. Valo was very much used to fighting his way through things, but because of Hinota, Joseph, the wraiths and just his overall maturity his insight in talking and finding other possible solutions had grown. But the aura mage would always have that fiery nature inside him. Plus he had a love for battle and fighting that very few could actually match. But obviously in a situation like this he would put his brains before brawn, for Hinota's and everyone's sake.
Once they entered the room again, the two girls were in different positions and immediately started to question the two magic knights. Anata came in stood by Valo slightly behind him, she was ready to come to their if need be.
The two girls wanted to know why they insisted on coming back after seemingly ignoring Hinota. Valo took a moment but then answered. "That was a misjudgment on my part, no one was ignoring her. But I thought I could trust her brother to keep her safe at least for a time. I realize that may have been a mistake." Valo answered calmly, in truth he was getting annoyed they questioned his love for his betrothed. This was now the second time it came to question, he was starting to consider it disrespectful.
He let out a sigh. "I'm not leaving here without her. I ask that you don't judge us from one mistake, but instead judge our resolve. None of us are perfect, mistakes are bound to happen. I do know that leaving Hinota here is a mistake, and thats not one i'm willing to make." Valo said to 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 saw more then they should have. When she spoke, hed notice how she stood and for some reason it irritated him. He 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 white noise?
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.
[attr="class","zavenreescroll"] Mistakes were made, and as things progressed Zaven made movements that were very…incomparable as a Captain should be doing. Even after the previous talk that happened and the issues that were now moving to catch the two so they could get them to go back to the mausoleum. All in all it was just a cloud that was an obstruction in his head. He used his shadow before when they showed back up, when his time away even when there was…difference…He had a weird moment. Now though as the “protection group had split and there were now showing differences even with how things moved like the wings of a damn dragon that was flapping its wings. He said that needed to get the team fully, so they all made their way to the two. [break][break]
Catching the end of the conversation that was there and hearing Amaya say she was going to get back to where they needed to stand guard from all that were in the forest. He looked to Jirou and then to Amaya before the new coming female rushed to Amaya and told them that she was going to go with her as she could navigate the forest really well, which Zaven’s eyes went wide as she passed. Saying there was no map spell needed, which made Zaven turn his head. ”Please do not leave without one of us please! PI wish for us to remain close if we can, yet I have some questions that could help us!” The way he spoke was about a question, or probability of more than one to ensure that they could get away from this seemingly falling tree of great issues so that is when he made a judgment… to see if this can still be fixed. ”Joseph please follow them and keep Amays safe, talk to the woman…the witch and I will be back with Jirou and I have questions further. Please keep where I can see you all even from here in the bad area.” He said quickly before looking back and taking a big sigh, Amaya was closer and he could be quick as well. [break][break]
As he continued to move Zaven made a quick movement to get Jirou as they needed to be quick, and it was a decision he could not see as well as the questions were not answered, but the female here was the same…look as the one with Amaya. That is when she approached and just spoke to their spirits that were out with Zaven and Joseph. Hraban looked at the female and gave her a nod, but only answered with a small few words. “Fewer things have been done here, the darkness sees everything and shadows don’t fall that far behind.” Hraban said as Zaven spoke right after in a state of rather mild confusion. His pose was a bit more diluted and warning like, or as someone else would see he was showing a bit of strength, but also as if he was in a better position instead of the rather blatant push to not talk to him first. [break][break]
”I thought…you look much like the one that did not answer my questions to try and help us here.” He said as she revealed a final speaking moment to tell that they needed to stick together because of the issues with those that are in the forest. ”With how the darkness shows so much and how those that live here, or are staying here because of daemons, is there a way that we can get past the darkness, or confront it. As a shadow of the darkness or one that is still there when it IS dark…there has to be a way for us to band together and fix what has been done, and what CAN be done? Now please come with us and answer us on our way back.” Zaven said as he was then turning to Jirou, ”What you have said, or talked to Amaya, or this one about…I want answers and there will not be a bold push back against us, no matter the feelings.” He finished and then waited for him to get up and for answers before the three could go back and hopefully receive answers for what he asked, and there not be anything further bad…

[attr="class","Solscroll"]
As Valo chuckled and explained that it happened really fast Sol mearly shrugged his shoulders not annoyed but finding a bit of amusement in his friends antics.”either way your either getting a punch or a thrashing in a spar so take your pick” he warned light heartedly as they moved deeper into the mausoleum, soon enough they were before the two girls again and as they stopped before them he heard them both speak asking why they had wanted to enter her as well as mentioning Hinota being distressed and that when none took notice she sought it from them and their mother before asking why did they care now. Sol heard Valo answer first and while he heard him say that no one had ignored her and that he thought her brother would keep her safe and that it might have been a mistake, Sol caught the annoyance in his friends body language as his tone may be calm but he was showing It in other ways and he gently leaned over and whispered to him.”Valo its alright they arnt questioning your devotion to Hinota they are curious in a logical sense” he whispered to him as he then spoke to the girls as well.
“he is right we never meant to make her feel ignored and we made a mistake by assuming that her brother would translate for her and that resulted in a breakdown in communication on both sides” he explained before he went on.”it doesnt change the fact that she became distressed though and we feel horrible that it happened but I do agree that we dont want to leave her here, we have made a mistake its true but we intend to right that wrong” he explained as he did feel guilt that hinota had felt that isolated and that none of them had tried harder to open up other ways of communicating with her but he knew that they couldnt leave her here even if the girls and their mother were not hostile at the moment. The more he looked at the girls the more he kept feeling the connection with them the same that he felt with Elysi and he honestly wondered if they were related to him somehow though he felt before that question was asked the murals on the wall were something that should be touched on.”if I may ask what is the story that these murals on the walls tell?” he asked hoping they would indulge his curiosity.

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.

The new person seemed to seemed to have walked from out of nowhere. The conversation she seemed to have been referencing happened a minute ago, his grave error. It was strange, but the deamons of the forest also had seemed quite good at picking up every word spoken, even while nit there to watch. “I wish I did....” He was certainly thinking of asking if she was one of the enemies, but the woman seemed to cover that already. ~Someone not a deamon that can make their way around like one? Humans can't, but she wouldn't be a spirit.~ The idea of a spirit looking like a woman never even crossed the mans mind, despite having a female spirit partner of his own. He looked towards Rizpaw, as if looking for a guide. He knew what that expression meant, the white iris pupil things in the middle of her black sclera being slightly scrunched at him. The man had made enough stupid assumptions for the day, it was time to put an end to that. Their corpse like pale pink eyes looked towards the woman. It felt rude and silly to ask, to even consider it possible for one to look so human. On the other hand, he trusted Rizpaws judgment. “Are you a spirit?”
She knew about Sols family member, as if she had been there herself to witness everything. It sounded like if she had been a deamon, some of those details wouldn't be known. Some of these details were things he himself either didn't know, or guessed as much on other details shared with him previously. Something he didn't know at all, the mausoleum holding that mans family. Joseph couldn't help but to frown, vague images in his mind. He accepted the comments about not knowing how to talk to a woman, it probably wasn't inaccurate to some extent. She found Jirou likely better than any of them would have been able to without help. “Do you know a way for any of us humans to find our way in the forest?” It seemed rather impossible, but with how much Analise seemed to know? If anyone knew anything outside of a flat out no, it would probably be her. One of the things he hated was not being able to find his way, or people, and it made him miserable to always feel at the least, slightly lost. But it was nice to know where he had failed, someone else was able to help. Even if briefly. Of course he didn't hear what she had said to Jirou, as he wasn't there at thew time. That wouldn't make sense.
“I.. didn't realize I should have asked my Partner Rizpaw how to speak to children, so I instead kept messing up in speaking. It was my failure that lead Amaya to possibly running towards danger. Jirou hasn't shown any sign of being willing to listen to anyone or anything but himself. Trying to stop him from wondering off when I have doubts he would start listening to anyone now seemed like a fruitless endeavor.” He couldn't think of a single moment the man had listened to anyone but himself. It felt like Jirou would watch the world burn and sip tea if it meant getting their way. “I'm grateful for your help and will try to do better. . . Do you know if Yalin Sheingxiao is one of the deamons if this forest? ...or the way out of this place?” He wanted to help the group with their mission, but it was hard imagining being able to accomplish that with how everyone was at this moment. Joseph frowned a bit when they said 'failed to keep their sister safe. “I honestly trust her far more than you at the moment Jirou. You're the one who put your sister in danger, specifically because you wanted to isolate her. I don't think you even tried to apologize to Hinota at any point.”
How can you act like you were a victim when you don't even apologize to the person you hurt? When you don't try to? When it would be a wonder if one might try the same thing all over again if she was regained. “I will fully admit and apologize for every mistake I make, because that's the first step in learning to not repeat it.” When asked a question by the woman, Rizpaw did not shake nor nod her head. “All the men in the group are idiots, but some are trying to do better. My idiot is a quality person. I have faith in most of them being able to learn how to be less stupid. My partner is still learning to ask questions and speak to others more. He was very isolated until joining the magic knights, because he let his mothers crimes burden his heart.” The red head looked towards the carbon matter spirit with a frown, not immediately responding to her. The man knew she didn't exactly care about human etiquette, but, “Nobody needs to know that about me.” The weight of one fathers death, the others loss of mind, of many dead and innocent people who worked with medicines, not weapons.

Amaya watched Sol and the one called Valo say their farewells before heading into the mausoleum. She was getting tired and could feel her throat starting to hurt from all the yelling and shouting at the ones who seemed to know what was going on but not helping any situation of getting her caught up. She just wanted to go home. Was that so hard. but instead she had one explaining adult conversations and making no sense other then slandering her family and the idea her parents died twelve years ago. She might not be a math genius or prodigy but even she knew that was 4 years before she and her brothers were born. There was no way that she would be here if her parents died before she was even a thought in one of their heads. She was tempted to just turn on her heels and run as fast and far as her body would allow her. She was done with the hellscape, she was done with the yelling and screaming at stupidity. Now she knew how Hania probably feels about most of clover for his want to avoid society like the plague, she wanted to adopt that process as well from all this. It was then she heard a friendly female voice soon accompanied by an appearance of a 18 year old woman. She watched the woman as there was only one thought that ran through her head. The woman looked so pretty. Amaya was in awe at the sight of the woman.
[break][break] She listened to the woman introduce herself. Who was she? Did she not know stranger danger? or was it the fact Annalise just saw a herd of boys upsetting a girl without any adults around? She tilted her head to the distraction of the woman's words asking her to stop yelling at joseph. She followed the woman's finger as she looked up seeing the nests as she mind immediately felt sadden. how could she forgotten that even though the forest was a terrible nightmare to see, there were still animals that called the hellscape home. How could she been so rude to them. She turned to look back at the woman that was now infront of her bent over to her height as she backed up some taken back by the compliment. "I uh...I think it is, takes a few hours when i wake up and a few when I sleep...My servants know of it more then I do." She said "I mostly wear just enough makeup around my eye to hide the scar down it." She spoke softly watching the woman as she listened to her next words
[break][break] Did the gods finally find pity on her for them to sent someone to fulfill her wish possibly? She was going to ask who told the woman of her mana changing as the only ones who knew was joseph and Zaven. She listened as the woman explained the situation in a way even amaya understood and loved, as a story, one that was easily to digest for the child. So indeed there was bad people here and one seemingly nice person fighting his own evil to help them. She listened to the story while watching the woman moving a shadow made puppet. It was at the mention of a single girl of the group accepting the offer of some of his clothing . She watching as analise touched Amaya's clothing as that clicked. That was why this seemed more male. More like something Hania or Enlil would wear over herself, that explained why she had a dress folded in the satchel she carried. It also explained why her clothing was clean, why they weren't blood covered. It was the magic known as spectra. Amaya herself couldn't recall the details of such a magic but it had to do something with repealing so maybe more defensive if her clothing and the story was any information on it. She felt sorry for the man, a member of the church of gnome. from the story he seemed kind, he seemed to be the one hero that would fight those in the dark within. Someone that this world needed maybe.
[break][break] she listened as the woman continued on with her story of how when the man touched her while his darkness was in control. her clothing seemed to protect her for the most part, though it was the reason her baby pink magic was now two shades of purple. she continued watching the shadow puppetry as she heard analise finish speaking of the items she received to help the man that sealed himself in his house for so long. of bringing him food, even hearing of his pregnant wife that had been here 5 years ago. of how he had to accept the darkness to save them. She following analiese's gaze to the mausoleum. as she heard the last part. It took a few minutes but the story showed enough of the story for amaya to assume what this mausoleum was for...it sadden her heart more in the assumption that the woman never left the forest...at least not in theory right?
[break][break] Amaya then got up after deciding to no longer deal with joseph and Zaven, they were of no help and just upsetting her even more. She turned her thoughts to her situation, the story, then her thoughts returned home. She wanted to see her brothers, see Hania and Leone, her friends, Jianyu, hell she would even accept seeing Lydia again, anything to not be here. She closed her eyes covering her hands with her ears as she walked hoping to just be alone. It wasn't to be ensured as she opened her eyes noting analise had followed her. She looked over to the woman as she listened to her questions as she looked forwards as she walked on. she went a random direction, she wasn't aiming to find anyone or anything, maybe just some quiet place away from everyone, to maybe find a way home cause so far the only ones that she trusted was in that building. "My name....I am Amaya, Amaya Ayako Ravencrest. As for why...I don't know honestly....I...I just want to go home. I don't know any of them or how i got here. All I know there is three I will not trust and three I will of the group." She said before looking at the woman's hand. She adjusted her staff into her opposite hand as she extended her own, taking analise's into hers as they walked. "They do not know." She agreed as she heard the woman named the man from the story. "Elysi Delothinson...I hope he wins that fight." She spoke in soft hope from the story. She listened to analise give an compliment and a boost of Amaya's mana with it being only one color but hers now being two was very special and her friends will be jealous. Amaya thought about it and the woman was right. Such things like that made her special, made her unique. so that was a plus.
[break][break] As they moved on through this forest amaya was suddenly stopped by analise as she watched the woman move infront of her protectively, as if watching and waiting for some sort of predator move away from the area. She looked around in confusion keeping ahold of analise's hand as she kept close as the woman soon continued on, keeping her close and on guard. It didn't take long before they somehow ended up finding jirou after hearing him speaking to something, but not finding that something. She was on guard and still on edge for her scolding of him and their spat with each other. Even through all that anger, she was trying to give him a benefit of the doubt, he was part of the group and stuck with them right? She watched him as she did attempt to be nice and sympathetic since analise was there and had done what the rest of the group couldn't. She watched analise speak with jirou as she watched jirou try his best to suddenly put up a false front. She moved closer to analise as she watched his smile and the curious acknowledgement of their group growing more. that was till he put up the sudden acknowledgement and protective nature that was not there as she even knew you dont go from angry to sad then protective. No one switches that fast unless practiced. Even the silva who are known for their moods and attitude do not go from pissed to protective. they tend to stay piss for days on end till they get their way or find someone to take it out on.
[break][break] "stop jirou. I am perfectly fine with her. She isn't halting my walking nor do i need room from her. Also you are right, i dont handle strangers well as you seen first hand and she isnt a magic knight that i know of. she is someone of this forest and really nice." She said keeping close to analise still. She listened to analise and jirou before looking up as analise asked her about her own family "No. If my brothers were here, they wouldn't leave my side. Even my cousin Hania, who is like a third brother to me, would not just up and leave my side if i was crying and sad. "She commented as she reflected on her mother's wisdom smiling some at the thought of her parents. [break][break] "Mom always seemed to know just what to say to make me feel happy, feel like I could keep up with my brothers.. Father might been stern but mother always said it was because of what clover expected of us. that we can be soft but not too soft. that there might be times girls like me have to be firm when push comes to shove." She said looking down in thought her parents. What she wouldn't give to see them again. Once the group was willing to walk she followed keeping close to analise as she saw joseph and Zaven soon meeting with them as she watched analise speak to only the spirits. ignoring Zaven and joseph complete before watching the woman instruct the boys on the reason to not be split up or wandering the forest alone. She remained silent following after analise. nothing of them seemed to apologize for upsetting her. She wasn't about to bring it up either. she cried and yelled enough today, the sooner she got home the better. This woman was nice and sweet, someone amaya felt safe around, as long as this woman was with them, she was going to try helping, anything to get home. [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.

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.
Mana Cost:33 Initial Cost ¦ 36 Recharge Cost[break]
Range & Speed:80m ¦40 m/s[break]
Stats Affected: +6 Power[break]
Description:[break]
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. With the use of ammo rules, additional circles can be made that allow others to not only gain benefits from the healing but allow the owner to be able to shoot the extra shards from those locations.

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.
Rank & Specialization:Senior ¦ Sensory ¦ Communication (Long Distance)
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

Upon raising her hand running her index and middle finger of her right hand along the pin from her hair to the end of the tassel. the tassel will activate the spell. A light pink glow forms from the Tassel while speak the name of the target. The glow will form a small ping ball size orb flying to the target, enveloping them in its gentle pink light. Additional names are needed to create more via Ammo rules ( 50 control per = 1). The spell will heal for senior damage. 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.

A delicate looking silver key with butterfly wings at the top embedded with three sky blue crystals, there is a chain on the length of the bar that has a blue rose at the end. It is said those with this key will be blessed by the forest.
Turning the key to the left activates the ability attached to the key. The holder can either create a single large butterfly that looks like it has been made out of the petals of a bluebell or can make a set of butterfly wings made out of the petals of bluebells. It doesn't matter which is decided it only allows for 5 people to be transported at any one time at 25 m/s. This item can be upgraded by finding a mage holding the matching element.
The two girls had put a question to the two men they allowed into the place they classed as home, they had asked why they wished inside and why they cared about the sleeping floral mage now when they previously had shown no concern at the fact she had been in distress outside the mausoleum and so sought solace with them. They had meant no disrespect in the former question but it was clear they had struck a nerve with the aura mage. "Everyone was indeed ignoring her, though we have never been outside we know as much." the one sitting by the elder woman. "From our understanding each of you could have communicated to some level but none did and so she felt isolated." the one sitting at the foot of Hinota's casket. "This isn't to say that you are the one primarily at blame but you aren't innocent either." she said thoughtfully. [break][break] "Her brother openly despises you and between this hatred and believing that women are less than he kept her in the dark of what was going on." the first sibling said "That man has a very dark soul." the second sister said looking to her twin who nodded and moved off her mother's casket. It was very slow as if she was needing to be careful in case she broke something. "The other that holds a lot of the responsibility is that ruler of yours." she said softly "He is unable to control those here with him and so everyone is doing what they want and not helping those who need the help most." she said walking to the top of the casket, it would be clear she was talking about Zaven and his lack of ability to control the group. [break][break] "If he had a stronger grip on the reigns then he would have made sure that she and the young one outside were informed of what was going on." the younger said with a calm tone, she had yet to move an inch. "You spoke that she was your betrothed outside, is it not your duty as her future husband to keep her safe?" the eldest asked, it was clear she was unsure how the world worked outside of the four walls that were her world. "As my sister said her brother has a very dark soul so if he has a twin then the same darkness will be lurking there." the first sister stated touching the woman in the casket softly. "It is why we didn't wish him in here again. The other person we said wasn't allowed to enter... his mother is a daemon of the forest, which means he is susceptible to daemonic influences." she stated her voice unchanging. [break][break] It was then the one that hadn't moved looked confused "Why would you think we are judging you? We are merely asking questions as this place is our world." she would say showing that they had never stepped even one foot outside of the mausoleum. "We were born in here, our caskets were our cribs, where we sleep and eventually our final resting place." her tone showed she thought nothing of it, it was just their way of life. "She is actually safer with us than out there with you, daemons can't get within twenty feet of here because of the jade." a new voice had said the woman believed to be a corpse said sitting up with the help of her daughter. "I understand that she is important to you but I will not force someone out of this sanctuary that it accepted." she said slowly moving out of the casket. [break][break] Like her daughters, she looked undead but by their own words, they were very much alive. Her daughter took a seat at the bottom of her mother's casket once more and observed. "Never rely on a person that wishes to keep another caged." she said offering words of advice to Sol as she leaned forward and carefully ran her fingers over Sol's scabbard. "A Delothosin? In this forest?" she seemed surprised as she looked up at him "Are you insane or do you just have a death wish?" she would ask her tone showing she wasn't playing around on this matter. "The story matters not." it was clear by her tone she was shutting down that line of questioning down, they were outsiders to her and she didn't trust them. "Gnome preserve me..." she said shaking her head as she stood up. [break][break] From her outfit hung a sigil of gnome, it was identical to the one that Elysi had shown them inside his cabin and meant she too had been a church member who served the vaultkeeper. It wouldn't have been too much of a leap for the pair to discern who this woman was and who the two girls were. "I understand the girl is important to you but she is safe here with us." she said to Valo, her voice was soft it was clear she cared for all who entered what was now her home. "Can you say that she would honestly be safer with you?" she would ask him sincerely "A forest filled with daemons, a captain who doesn't know his ass from his elbow and unseen threats within your group..." it was clear she was worried not just for her but the two men in children's bodies that stood in front of her. [break][break] "If you believe you could keep her safer, I will wake her and then we will allow her to choose what she wants..." she said looking at the pair with a stern almost daemonic look in her own eyes "But know this if you say you can keep her safer or history repeats itself while in this forest it won't be the daemon's you'll be worrying about." it was clear she was serious about this, she was a mother through and through and as this place had accepted the floral mage by itself she had accepted her as one of her family and would go full mother bear on the group if her child was harmed. "One last thing, if she does decide to go she is not to be left alone with her brother... there.... he's soulless." she would comment not knowing if Sol would know the meaning. [break][break]
~~ Outside the mausoleum~~
[break][break]
Analise looked at Jirou the smile ever present as he went from being a victim to aggressive towards her in an instant, she had yet to do anything to warrant such behaviour towards herself. She could understand people being cautious towards her as she turned up out of nowhere and knew quite a bit of their plight but that wouldn't be something that Jirou would know as he was away from the group when she explained to Amaya what was going on. "I have yet to overstep any boundaries, I held her hand on the way here and the last time I checked she was able to speak for herself and didn't need a spoiled little prince to speak on her behalf." her voice was still cheery as she spoke "If she didn't want me to hold her hand she can let me know herself and I would respect her boundaries." it was clear she wouldn't put up with Jirou's bullshit. [break][break] "But enough about me and let's talk about you and the fact you are as fake as this blood rain illusion around us." she said informing them and anyone close by that this was nothing more than an illusion. It would explain why though the clothes looked stained they never felt any raindrops. "I wouldn't say you failed to keep her safe, it's just she felt like she could get more comfort with strangers than she could from her failure of a brother." she corrected him "No... no... let me correct myself you successfully isolated her from the group so you aren't a complete failure you just succeeded in the worst possible way." she was smiling the entire time she was speaking and her voice was still peppy as if she wasn't taking him seriously in the slightest. Her eyes trailed towards his fan and saw how he was holding it, she couldn't help but laugh at him. [break][break] "What exactly do you think you are going to do with a fan that has no battle capabilities?" she would ask trying to stop herself from chuckling. "There are six daemons in this forest, each more an apex predator than you could ever hope to be and If I'm not afraid of the apex predators inside this forest then I'm most certainly not going to be afraid of a spoiled prince like you who's at the bottom of the evolutionary food chain." she said waving him off as if he was little more than an annoyance. She heard Zaven's voice and turned her attention for a moment "You can ask questions by the way, I don't mind but I might not share because you seem to be as organized as a bunch of rogues at a riot." she informed him, it was clear she wasn't happy with how he had been handling things so may not give him answers. [break][break] "Darkness?" she seemed confused that he would use that word when speaking to her, she could understand it when speaking to Amaya but she was an adult. "For witches and animals, this place is their home. I doubt they even realize that there is a threat in the forest." she said with a smile and shrug. It was clear she was holding back information but that she was being truthful in what she had told him. "Are we having the same conversation because you seem confused, are you going senile? Do you need to be left out on a mountain or something?" she would ask wondering if he needed to be shot to be put out of his misery. "The 'darkness' are the daemons and yes you can get by them and you can confront them." she was getting dizzy just by this small interaction. [break][break] She looked to Amaya "And he's meant to be a magic knight captain when he grows up, can you believe that... I always heard that the Golden Dawn captain was sharp on things but I'm starting to get worried about that squad and the people here." she said like a gossiping girl. She turned to him "I have that answer but I'm not about to be a cheat sheet to a bunch of people who aren't smart enough to take in the information, it would waste my time and make me stupider." it was clear if he wanted that information then they had to smarten up and show that they were worthy of that information because at current she didn't have a high opinion on them. "Also, who lets a group of five boys follow a little girl who sees something pretty? That is some poor leadership skills right there" She was still cheerful but it was clear even Zaven wasn't free of her critique. [break][break] "Like I said you can ask but I might not answer because you are disorganized and lack any sort of structure." it was clear she would die on that hill and there was nothing he could do to threaten her to give him the information. She had already stated she wasn't afraid of the daemons so she wouldn't be afraid of them who weren't as big of a threat. "You are a bigger threat to yourselves than me." she said her smile ever present but it was clear she was being serious on the matter "I mean your spirit partner even threatened to leave you because you are being a selfish partner caring only about your own growth and leaving him out in the cold." she didn't care who knew such behaviour should be called out in her mind. [break][break] "There's a reason that spirits flock to the little princess though she can not bond with any." she wouldn't go more into it and hopefully hope that he would figure it out on his own. She turned her attention back to Amaya now she had remembered their original conversation. "As a noble woman, shouldn't you know what you are putting on your body?" she would ask her "I mean how would you be able to tell the difference if you don't know what it is originally." she said showing how important such information was to her "I've heard that noble families especially the ones in higher echelons all have enemies who would love to see them fall in one way or another." she said showing her dangers, it wasn't because she wanted her paranoid but understanding Amaya knew the truth of the noble court. [break][break] "Also you shouldn't be ashamed of that scar of yours but use it as a reminder that your parents loved you so much that they made sure that was the worst that happened to you." she said touching it to wipe the makeup away "A badge of remembrance not a mark of shame." she said warmly hoping to help her come to terms with the mark on her body. She took Amaya's hand and gently guided it over it "Your mother and father loved you very much, when you miss them just move your fingers across it and say that you love them too." her smile remained but her voice was softer more maternal than it's usual hyper self. "Also Amaya is a beautiful name, I forgot to mention that earlier." she said scratching her cheek lightly. [break][break] "Sometimes things happen so fast, that they all sort of merge together and I forget things until later on." she said showing she wasn't ignoring her just that something else had taken her attention briefly. "Well Amaya, I know you are confused and scared so I'll remain by your side and explain things that you can't understand until you find the way out or your family come to get you; if that is something you want of course." she wasn't about to force the offer on her, as she had said she hadn't cross any boundaries as of yet and she would respect Amaya's when shown them. "I hope Elysi wins too so he can return to his family unstained by the darkness he carries right now." she replied back hearing what she said a small smile on her face though it was clear she was hurting for the pain he was in right now. [break][break] She leaned in and whispered something into Amaya's ear "When you see him repeat that to him and it should help." she informed her. Analise remained silent as Amaya spoke to Jirou "I'm sorry if I at all made you uncomfortable Amaya, I just know that for young ladies holding hands help them feel safe in unknown places or places they feel uneasy." she said explaining her train of thought, although, she was glad to hear that Amaya felt comfortable with her more than most of the group. The conversation came back to something she had asked Amaya, how her family would react if she was in the floral mages shoes. She looked at Jirou again "You really do fail as a brother, no wonder she was crying for her guard perhaps she views them more as a family than her actual family." she said with a shrug, she didn't know the ins and outs she was just speculating. [break][break] "I hear mothers are like that." she said with a smile "You know something?" she would ask crouching down to Amaya's level "Girls might not be as strong as boys are but it doesn't mean they are weak, it just means they need to think of creative ways to keep up." she said poking her nose standing "I hear there's a magic knight squad filled with strong and beautiful women. I bet your mother would have fit like a glove with them." she said with a warm tone as she took Amaya's hand once more and headed back to the safety of the mausoleum. She was well aware that the peach-haired male was observing everything, she didn't mind in the slightest. "Also..." she paused and looked to Jospeh "Everyone has a childhood and given yours is with music you'd think you'd be able to explain things in a way children would understand you are just far to much in your own head for your own good." she didn't buy Joseph's excuse she knew of people who had far more tragic or harsher upbringings than him and could still explain things to children. She guessed it could be because he was just socially awkward but if that was the case why was he here? [break][break]
[attr="class","header2"]GM Notes
[break] [break][break] The twin girls spoke more with Valo and Sol, it was clear that their world was that mausoleum having never taken a step outside of it, they attempted to understand Sol and Valo more and even the group outside hoping that both sides would understand the other. The eldest of the girls woke her mother who too looked undead but like the girls was highly intellegent. They were even informed by one of the sisters they were alive and just as they were born inside the mausoleum that was were they would also be set to rest. The mother was surprised to see a delothosin within the forest given how dangerous the place was for the family. She gave her input of their group and asked if they really thought the floral mage would be safer with them given the threats outside the safety of her home. She did say if they did then she would wake the girl and allow her to decide but if they did take her and if something bad happened to her she inferred that the daemons would be the least of their problems. [break][break] Meanwhile, outside the mausoleum Analise had torn into Jirou about his behaviour in general, she wasn't any kinder when it came to Zaven as his lack of leadership is what had landed them in this situation and where she was willing to listen to questions she wasn't willing to fully divulge anything as she believed they were idiots who wouldn't know what to do with the information given how they had been acting up to that point. She even brought up about Zaven's spirit being ready to leave him and there being a reason why spirits were drawn to one who could never bond with them. Amaya too put Jirou in his place before Analise and she had a bit of a heart to heart. As they started to walk back to the mausoleum Analise had something to say to Joseph who had been quietly observing the entire time. [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."
Her words…. her words that whispered their way down his ear canal and into the auditory processing fleshy constructs in his inner ear and when the sound was registered and flooded his brain he could only stop for a moment. He paused mid stride and for a moment was utterly and completely beyond himself. He kept his facial expression set like stone. And when she continued to speak regarding his sister he bit the inside of his cheek so hard it bled. He would turn to look at her as she spoke about him keeping his sister in the dark. “What I do to keep my sister safe isnt for you t judge, woman.” his tone wasn’t harsh, or even rude. But there was an edge to it that told her to watch her self. It was clear his sister was his priority right now even if he had other goals on his mind. Between him and this vile woman stood Joseph and Zaven.. it was when Zaven spoke up and began to chastise Jirou. Hed turn to look at him an incredulous look of ‘excuse me?…’.
Hed look at him and then scoff a bit. “Challenge you? Step-ahead of you?” hed sigh. “Im not here as a Magic Knight, im here to fullfil the Duty of Elder Brother to my sister.” hed keep walking past them, making sure not to let anyone stop him. As she spoke of danger hed stop only then and turn to look at where she looked. Hed place his hand upon his sword ready to draw it if need be. He could tell the mosoleum door was beginning move and he cursed, hed turn and yell toward the two inside. “Valo! Sol! Get my sister out of there!” he knew to move toward it would give the enemy a chance to strike his back. But he couldn’t help but worry about his sister. Hed turn back toward the place the enemy was indicated to be.

Valo Stark
"Don't need a reason to seek strength."
"No I was not ignoring her." Valo said again to the two girls. His patience was getting quite thin, arguing with people who weren't even there. "I tried speaking to her twice in her language, her brother despite his mistakes was also not ignoring her. I'm not saying i'm innocent at all, but as you said you weren't even there. I can not let you run with a false narrative that simply is not true. I've made plenty of mistakes and I will own up to each and every one of them. But I will not have lies about me told in my face." Valo said it clear these two were starting to get on his nerves.
Now they blatantly lie in your face? They weren't there but they know? How foolish do they think you are? Thats the second time they have disrespected you, how long will you let this continue boy?
His fathers voice came back to him, this time more clear than before. But he wasn't ignoring it this time.
They spoke about Jirou next, and what they said didn't really shock him to much but his thoughts were kinda already there. It was pretty obvious Jirou did not like Valo at all, and that he had a complex. But when they said that he had a very dark soul, that was a little unexpected or at least Valo didn't want to see it that way. Maybe because it was Hinota's brother, he wanted to have a nice relationship with Jirou as a brother in law. Slowly but surely he was starting to realize that was not going to be the case. "Nothing can be just normal huh?" he said to himself rubbing the temples of his head.
Next they spoke about Zaven and how he wasn't doing a good job maintaining leadership over the group. Which was true for the most part, he had his moments where he seemed to be back to himself. But he seemed so distracted by other things, it was taking away his focus on the more important things going on. "He will be fine. Thank you for your concern though." Valo replied to what they were saying.
They continued their reasonings on why Joseph and Jirou couldn't be let in, while also questioning on the duty of a husband to protect their future wife. But Valo couldn't tell if that was for him or Sol, maybe it was for both. He didn't answer though, leaving that for Sol if he wished too. One looked confused and asked why Valo thinks they are judging him. Valo had an even more confused look on his face, and started to laugh a little. "Cause you two are very judgmental, maybe it's just caution though. Can't blame you for that." Valo replied to them after getting all that information.
"So Joseph's mom is a daemon in this forest, most of Hino's siblings are evil and you guys have been in this mausoleum your whole lives." Valo said out loud placing his hands on hips and starting to walk around. "You were never interested in seeing the outside world?" he asked them before another voice came in, this one older and much more mature. Stating that Hinota was more safe here, than outside with him. Valo's anger started to flare up again. "Over my dead body." he replied instantly looking at her his eyes fierce.
The undead woman spoke to Sol asking if he was mad for being here. Valo made a confused expression. "Whats a Delothskin? Sol do you have family drama your not telling me? I thought your name was Sol Shinryu?" Valo asked his buddy.
She then spoke about them leaving Hinota here again, and Valo got serious again. "I don't trust you, or them." he said gesturing to the younger girls. "I'm getting tired of saying it. I'm not leaving her here. I don't know about you or them. But living your entire life in a mausoleum is no way to live and i'm sorry that happened to you, I truly am. I still don't trust any of you, but you all don't seem like bad people and you deserve better. The real Hinota knows I will protect her with my life, as i've done before and I will not hesitate to do it again. As she would do the same for me. Everyone keeps talking about how much she needs to protected, but the Hinota I know is the strongest and smartest person I've ever met. As soon as she gets her memory back she'll be proving that to everyone." Valo said speaking about Hinota.
Valo never saw Hinota as someone that needs to be protected, her will and character is just a as strong as his. That's why he fell in love with her. Not cause she was a princess that needed to be protected.
"Well thats not fair, she doesn't even remember us!" Valo said to the older woman, with his hands up in the air.
[attr="class","zavenreescroll"] Her rebuttal was not a stunning answer that he could receive, no, it was rather what he was used to due to his past. The way she also put forth how he spoke further was rather, exhausting because he was used to this kind of issue given and the comeback in speech as if it was a game. She did give the admission that this place was the home of many that did not realize that there was a threat and that pushed him to believe that there was a further game or curtain that was outside the of the places of living. Then her reaction to his question was very, well it was to say that it was a valid way to just provide a punch to his gut or a slap across his cheek. Her input then about his squad or rather it could be any squad but with her speech being aimed at him he knew better than to ask. Finally the last answer in which that she gave was rather pushing him to slap her or to rather fucking say to her what he would say to any that just gave him absolute anger. Still though he listened to see what else her flappy tongue wanted to give to him, well that little thing was rather like a punishment rather than receiving the answers. [break][break]
Her next words to Amaya were rather like a spoken story of how he was before coming here, not a laugh was given as Zaven took what she said and crunched his rather childlike hands because of how she ended. Yet in a way it was to tell him to act like he needed to act like, not like some fucked up mind that could not be truly as he was. The answer that he wanted was not going to be given and he unclenched his fists and after her an answer she pushed farther to ask a questionable route taken and that was a rather big way to just show that she could see quite a lot here in the forest. He wanted to give a smile as she continued, but let her get her words that were aimed at him out of her mouth. After the large like tone and length of speech he was about to speak again, but was first interrupted as he heard what Jirou had to say, and instead of speaking up on the talk or rather words said to them now he just spoke heavily to the man walking still further ahead more than the team. That is when Zaven finally just came to clear and spoke out as he did once before, but now he was fucking beyond just livid and he was not going to just step in to step out, act or just be a damn kid no matter what he looked like. [break][break]
”Jirou, that is enough, as we can hear from her, and practically everyone else that has a word to see. We need to act together, overcome the issues we have and truly work better. If you chose to just keep walking in front of me, speaking as if you have a better grasp on things. I will end your speaking until your damn family can have a word with it, you need to wait for what for everyone, we have all done this rather eager and bullshit walk away from each other, and the things that need to be fixed with each other. No final words on this, I have had a fucking issue myself and it is time I just, give back and not insult the power I have. We are all in an issue, but if you wish, as I will say to the others…so be it, challenge me even when we must work together. We will get through this, no more shall we have issues with each other. If you swear that you do, fucking talk or be as everyone including me has tried to do and address and fix things rather than see how it can be pushed. That is not all though, Joseph I know we have had issues with talking in the past and the way we have issues here with doing as I have ordered or asked you to do, no fucking more. We need each other and there is not a way we should act, if there is talking to be done with everyone or a single moment with another…then just do it so we are all safe. Denial of what I asked earlier because that is how I see it, was just wrong. No more of that, Since I just cannot see what our spirits see, or with my look at the moment even Amaya, I am speaking further. Family has a lot of talks and actions, but we are all trying to get to where we can move safely, it is a situation that I do not even want to be in, I want this to be over. We must work together so that way we can all go the ways needed to get to our final movements out of here. So enough, I know I have issues too, but I do not care if you want to call them out. I am not just taking rule or advantage…I am the leader, and you will all listen to me.” His speaking was done and he was breathing quite hard, but this was the final dose he had gone through and they will answer him or he would make sure that they would find out why he was where he was and the words that the female spoke.

[attr="class","zavenstat2"]COMBAT SUMMARY
[break]
[attr="class","zavenreescroll2"] was absolute fun and rather I think I got back to an old way in Zaven. Took a lot of read, and I accidentally miswrote the initial reply yesterday. If this is NOT good, please feel free to approach me.
