[attr="class","Solscroll"]
Sol listened as the Girls explained to them that Hinota had indeed been ignored though not one was to blame but none of them were innocent either and that since they could have tried harder to communicate but didn't she became isolated. Valo was quick to respond back stating that he didn't ignore her and then accused them of running a false narrative and didn't want to have lies told to his face and at that Sol sighed seeing that his friend was not taking his advice about them being curious.”Valo its not that we ignored her directly per say its more we failed to keep trying to establish a form of communication like they said not a single person is guilty but not innocent either” he explained before going further. “they aren't setting a false narrative Valo think about it Hinota is sleeping right now but the girls could have talked to her before about the isolation but you also relied on her brother to explain after those two times which we now know was a bad idea” he added before looking at Valo.”Take a breath and calm down I can see your emotions are running high and I understand why but if your temper gets heated it wont help anyone” he said trying to get the older knight to take a step back and see that his own emotions were gripping him.
As the twins would speak on Jirou and mention that he openly hated Valo and that combined with his belief of women being lesser then man had made him keep her in the dark on the situation which caused Sol to bite back a growl especially when the other twin mentioned that he had a very dark soul. Sol was wary of Jirou as parts of his beliefs were brought to light but now he had even more of a reason to be distrustful since brother or not keeping information especially in this situation was deadly and the royal could have gotten them killed very easily. They also would jab Zaven as well mentioning that he didn't have a grasp on the group and with that issue couldn't help them stating that had he more control and focus that the group even Hinota and Amaya would be informed on the issues in a way they could grasp.
As they had mentioned that if Jirou had a twin he would likely share the same darkness as him which made Sol wonder a bit since he had heard of Hinotas elder brother in the crimson lions and while he was a quiet man Sol had never heard of him acting like Jirou at all but perhaps it was a different darkness within him.”Valo in this day and age nothing is ever normal” he said simply before he heard the other question and knew they were asking that to Valo but he seemed silent so Sol answered instead.”its true Valo is Hinotas Betrothed and it is always the desire of ones partner to keep the other safe..and sometime we stumble in that regard but we always try our best” he explained knowing that keeping someone safe all the time was never assured but they always tried he did his best to protect Amaya after all but he didn't smother her or try to stop her growth.
The twins explained that Joseph wasn't allowed in besides Jirou because his mother had become a daemon in the forest so he was vulnerable to her influence,at that Sol could understand their reasoning since if he was able to be influenced then it made him a potential threat. As they explained that they had never been outside of the mausoleum and that the caskets have been their cribs and would be their resting place as well.” Valo they arnt being judgmental they are curious like they said they are young and never been outside of this place they want to get to know us” he corrected before he was looked at the twins with a curious look as a glance around the room showed no food or water.”how have you survived this long without food or water by chance?” he wondered knowing that there had to be a explanation.
As Valo asked if they had never wanted to see the outside world Sol shook his head.”this place is crawling with Daemons and who knows what else this is the safest place trying to navigate outside would be a nightmare and a death sentence” he added before he heard a third voice speak up and state that the daemons wouldn't come near the area due to the jade and that Hinota was far safer here, Valo had instantly gotten defensive on that and said they would leave Hinota there over his dead body and at that Sol glared at him.”Valo Cool it and think about where we are do you really want to make such a statement right now?” he said his voice was stern showing that this was not the time to get angry or make such a statement.
The woman clearly the twins mother mentioned that she understood they cared for Hinota but she wouldn't force her out if she didnt want to be, then she did something that surprised Sol she reached out and gently touched the scabbard of his sword, the moment she did he felt a warm pulse from the blade but it wasn't a bad feeling it was almost soothing as he didnt feel his usual defensiveness about it as he heard her question him being a Delothosin and he blinked in surprise.”yes my blood woke late.. Are you family?” he asked his tone curious as he felt a bit more at ease but not completely off guard. She would then ask if he was insane or had a death wish to which the dark haired man shook his head gently. “neither I am a just a knight doing my duty” he said simply but his eyes showed he understood the seriousness of her question, it was then that Valo questioned what a Delothosin was and if he had some family drama he was dealing with along with confusion about his name.
At that Sol sighed and resisted the urge to facepalm”the Delothosin are my birth family Valo there the reason my looks and magic shifted as an adult, the Shinryu are my adopted family im currently reconnecting with my birth family” he explained as the mother stated that the story on the walls didnt matter but also then asked gnome to preserve her which made Sol catch sight of the Sigil she was wearing and his eyes darted from it to her.”are you related to a man name Elysi?” he asked already feeling like he knew the answer but he wanted to make sure before assuming anything. She then started to speak to Valo asking him if he honestly thought she would be safe outside with them fiven the threats in the group and outside and Sol remained quiet since she was addressing Valo and not him but he could tell she was worried not just for Hinota but for them as well. Valo went on to state that he didnt trust her or the twins and Sol shook his head.”Valo you can place a bit of trust in them think about it they allowed the both of us to enter they could have easily just sealed the door shut and denied us entry but they let us come in here to speak and to learn from us” he said trying to get his friend to see that while they could be wary they didnt have to be completely distrustful.
At the mothers serious words about Hinotas Safety Sol nodded in understanding and respect, he knew that a mothers desire to protect was strong and that they couldnt take such a thing lighly.”alright we want to try and have her come with us” he said before hearing her comment at the end about Jirou being Soulless and that Hinota was not to be left alone with him at all, at that Sols expression turned intensely serious and he nodded.”we will make sure that doesn't happen” he said his tone serious and determined as he had heard Elenor and The Princess of his family talk about soulless people before but never went into detail with him but he knew that it was not good at all so he would do all that he could to keep that situation from happening between Hinota and Jirou.

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.

Amaya watched analise tear into Jirou's ego more and more. If Amaya didn't know better, this woman was much like some silva with alot more class and very pretty to look at. Normally she was all for watching a Silva rip into someone because it was always funny to see the silva themselves get destroyed in the same breath. However, Analise had class and a warranted sass as if to pull at Jirou's ego, as if trying to get something to come out or show? [break][break] The one thing she did find interesting was the fact Jirou allowed the woman to rip into him. When Amaya did, he fought her tooth and nail, in an attempt to put her in her place, even if it failed. He just stood there, now clearly acting hurt. She seen how fast his looks turn much like the ones back home that tried pulling at her heart with their sob stories and actions. She watched him closely as she turned her attention to analise listening to all the compliments as she smile taking them all in. The woman was a calming factor and helpful to keeping amaya calm and willing to work with this group as she was tempted to just walk off and never look back from how mean this group has been to her fragile heart and feelings. [break][break] she listened as analise told her of a new way to see her scar as she allowed analise to move her hand to touching the scar as she listen to the postive reinforcement. She has always disliked the scar because it was the last thing she had from her parents. she got that while they saved her, it was just a reminder of what caused the end of their lives. she smiled nodding as she closed her eyes feeling the scar remembering her parents. it will always hurt but this hurt was a good one instead of the usual sad one. she smiled as she nodded "I am often told that, i dont see anything special with it. but it is mine given to me from them."She said with a smile as she looked back at zaven and jirou soon seeing jirou move on back to a mausoleum. Even she could tell from his movement, he was not happy, she seen that body language and the movement before many adults tend to act like it when they are hiding what they are thinking or feeling. She kept close to Analise holding her hand as she walked after analise back to the masoleum. There was nothing zaven, joseph, or jirou had to say that the girl cared for. all three so far has shown they are not the brightest and have the most issue showing their true selves. She smiled looking around then towards the masoleum. she was hoping the others were alright in there. She had the other girls braclete to return to her. it was only right [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.
The woman smiled at Valo as he spoke to the twin girls and sighed a little as she moved over to a wall and drew her finger down a line of runes that gave off an orange glow. "These purify the area but also act as a kind of map and communication spell. It allows me to teach my daughters about the outside world without putting them in danger." she explained. "It was how your young betrothed communicated with you all while the door was closed." she informed the pair "It has a limited range of around twenty to thirty meters I believe." If it hadn't been clear before it would be now she had raised her family inside the mausoleum for their safety. "Please don't think badly of my girls, they are young and inquisitive but as they've only ever interacted with me they lack certain social awareness." she said, her tone showing shame in this truth. [break][break] "Though they look like teenagers they are younger than your betrothed in her current stage, just being in a place surrounded by enemies they have needed to grow mentally quickly as for their forms..." her eyes looked out to the world beyond her home. "To say the archdaemon Asmodeus is insane would be an understatement." she said her gaze turning towards the two men once more. "He came to visit the Witch Queen and ripples of his magic affected this place, some worse than others." It was clear that though the twin girls had spent their lives within the mausoleum they had been born outside it within the daemon-infested forest. Her eyes went to Sol as he asked a question and she nodded "I married into the family, Elysi is my husband and the father to my daughters." she said her voice holding more than a pang of heartbreak. [break][break] It was then another question was asked, how did the family of three survive when there was no clear signs of food or drink within the mausoleum. "There are rites and rituals like the one I showed you that will allow mana to sustain us, but it comes at a cost." she stated her voice calm as she motioned to how she and her children looked. "You may have believed at some point upon meeting us that we are dead, not that I can blame you considering what we call home and our appearances but I assure you we are indeed alive..." she turned to Valo "You are correct, this is no way to live but after five years of living like this if we leave this place we will die of starvation and dehydration before we even take our first breath." It was just plain and simple as that. [break][break] It was then Sol answered her question and she sighed shaking her head at his words "No Delothosin is safe in this forest, it is why instead of trying to get me out they had this place turn up through a spatial portal. They did say that it was only until the daemon numbers dwindled but that they couldn't and wouldn't put members of the family in danger." her tone showed that she was hurt over the matter she was understanding about it. Her eyes looked to Valo "The Delothosin were a family that originated in the Spade Kingdom and the daemon's considered a bane to their existence." it was clear she had a lot more information but given how not a lot was known about the family it was unlikely she was going to go any further into details about things. [break][break] Her eyes flicked to Sol "This means their primary target is going to be you, are you prepared for that?" she would ask him, she already gathered he understood the risk the moment he stepped into this place on some level. She didn't understand the family she married into fully but it was almost like there were certain instincts woven into their blood. She chuckled as she heard Valo speaking about how nothing was normal "If things were normal, then you wouldn't be here right now would you?" she said her eyes glancing outside. "Yes, she is one of the more sly daemonesses within the forest, however, she is a narcissist so very easy to manipulate if you know how." she offered in response "Well, I don't know if they are evil but they certainly aren't to be trusted." she commented "My daughters have yes, I was a member of the church for a lot of my life." she let him know. [break][break] "If you want a further complication, your betrothed has a broken spirit" the elder girl stated "And it was broken on purpose by someone strong." the younger sister said both their tones remaining neutral "She's daemon touched but is pure or wouldn't be able to get in here." the mother stated hoping to put the male's minds at ease over what her children had just said. Hearing Valo's question about if they weren't curious about the outside "It is... complicated." she said her voice showing she was conflicted on the matter. She had already said what would happen if they left the mausoleum and that people of their blood would be attacked. She would protect her daughters from the world but there was only so much she could do against seven daemons. [break][break] When Valo seemed surprised about Sol's name she seemed taken aback "You mean the white hair, blood-ruby eyes and albino complexion and macabre element wasn't a big giveaway?" she asked the man she sighed a little and shook her head but it was clear it wasn't to demean him but more like a mother thinking a child was being silly. "Delothosin are all albino, they have blood-ruby eyes with a few exceptions, white, blue, red, purple or black hair and have a macabre element or their mana has a taint of it." she would inform the man, it wasn't a secret after all. "You don't have to trust us, you don't know us from the great spirits that protect this land. That being said, we don't leave this place and are likely the only allies you have in this entire forest." her voice becoming serious. [break][break] "I truly believe that you will protect her with your life and I know she would protect you with hers but she is six at current with all of the understanding that comes with it." she said knowing that this may turn bad. The woman walked over "You say she doesn't remember you? Are you truly so foolish?" she would ask him poking his forehead "The mind can forget..." she said before moving her finger to where his heart was "But the heart doesn't forget what is dear to it." she said moving to be by the casket which had the sleeping Hinota ushering Valo to follow. The ring that he had given her as proof of his oath to her was no longer on her small finger instead it was in her hand and held close to her heart "She remembers you or she wouldn't know that was dear to her." she said smiling but it soon vanished as her eyes dashed to the entrance of the mausoleum. [break][break] "A daemon is approaching and the mausoleum door is going to close." she told them showing that this wasn't up for debate, she would protect her daughters at all costs against such enemies. "I will give you a choice but you must decide quickly..." she was deadly serious about it her children moved to curl in their caskets as if they would protect them. "You can stay in here while the daemon is in the area and the door will open after the threat has passed or you can leave and help your friends with the impending threat, however, the door will not open again. I will say if one of you exits the other will be leaving also, this isn't up for debate, please tell me what you plan to do." it was clear she didn't want to put them in such a situation but she had no choice. Her family came first and foremost and expected the pair would understand. [break][break]
~~ Outside the mausoleum~~
[break][break]
It was clear to Analise that she had gotten under Jirou's skin, the fact he was holding his fan so tight showed he wasn't used to being spoken to as if he was nothing more than the common riff-raff he seemed to despise so much. The mask was cracking little by little, soon enough it would break to the point the pathetic want-to-be monster underneath would be in full view of the world. This didn't bother the woman at all, she just continued to walk with the young Amaya. She whispered something under her breath but to Jirou it would be as if she whispered into his ear, a smile would be ever present on the woman's face. Even in this dangerous place, she seemed fully at peace as if she didn't fear the daemons that called the forest home. 'That boy is a bigger threat than the daemons to this group' she thought to herself. [break][break] "That wasn't a mistake, you told her nothing intentionally." Analise said her tone though keeping its warmth was blunt, she wasn't about to let him to try downplay his actions to make it seem like it was just a little oopsie. Even someone unaware of the situation would have caught onto the implications Jirou was throwing her way and yet she seemed completely unphased by it. "I am glad to tend to such a beautiful flower because with such darkness around it would only cause her to wilt." she said with an almost chipper tone, she wasn't implying anything but putting Jirou on notice that she could see right through his mask and would take him out personally if she considered him a threat to Amaya's survival. "Oh, Amaya you seem like a social person, would you care to share with me what you do when you aren't ending up in strange forests?" she would ask knowing it would take her mind off the current situation. [break][break] She could tell the captain of the group was caught off guard by how she was speaking to him but it was the truth, he could ask her things but she may not share as she had a very impression when it came to this group. She knew her words would have angered the man but what exactly was he gonna do to her? Kill her? At this point, she was quite sure the group would end up killing themselves before harming her. Still, she hoped with how harsh she had been that it would slap some sense into him. "The problems start at the top and trickle downstream, a weak or wavering leader will doom those around them to fail or worse death." she commented to him, her tone was more like a mother giving a lesson. "You have many accolades but from what I know of the 'shadow of the dawn' you are merely a shade of that man." she commented, she almost seemed saddened to speak those words. [break][break] It was then that Zaven started to speak, he reprimanded both Jirou and Joseph and that made the woman genuinely smile "My, my... perhaps I was wrong, however, it could be a flook. Time will tell..." she said with a chuckle, she then spoke to Amaya "Out of this group, she's the safest." she wasn't about to comment further on that, but her tone showed she wasn't lying about that. Suddenly her stance changed as they entered the vicinity of the mausoleum, it was clear that the woman was on high guard and moved Amaya behind her, her eyes scanning the area. "Prepare yourselves... we are about to be fighting a strong enemy." she warned the group, the opponent she was speaking of was still not in view but her eyes had stopped on a specific area, her gaze was intense, it was clear that was where their enemy was going to be coming from. [break][break]
[attr="class","header2"]GM Notes
[break] [break][break] The conversation continued, the mother giving the pair some information about her situation with the girls and some vague information when it came to the Delothosin. She showed some trust to them that she believed what Valo said about himself and Hino but reminded him that she was only six at the moment so the situation had changed, but did show him that even in this state her heart still remembered him even if the mind had forgotten. She then told the pair that a daemon was approaching and gave them two options but told them they had to choose quickly. The group outside continued walking to the mausoleum, Analise once again showing she was unphased by the group and showing what she thought of them. That being said when Zaven became more assertive she corrected herself showing that she may have misjudged the man but stated it may have only been a flook. It was then that the woman's stance changed informing the group outside of mausoleum that an enemy was approaching, by her tone and mannerisms it was clear that it was a fight was about to happen. [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 watched the woman and she activated runes that allowed them to hear and see things outside of their home. To spend their entire lives in one place, Valo honestly felt sad for them. But he was an adventurous soul, it was clear this family was very different from him. He couldn't imagine not being able to travel, venture and explore. She then began to explain how her girls only had her to interact with and their social awareness was lacking. "Hmm well now I feel bad. My apologies! My loves ones and friends are precious to me, I don't take it well when that is questioned. Lets forget it happened yeah?" Valo said to them looking at it relic necklace and then looking at them.
Do not apologize to them, they were wrong to question you in the first place. They need to learn you are not be questioned on anything.
Valo listened as she explained why her daughters were they way they are, and her relationship to Elysi. A name Valo had heard a few times now he was Delothosin if he remembered correctly. He then looked towards Sol. "Thats your cousin right!? Or maybe your cousin, perhaps uncle or distant relative? So that would make you guys family! Sol your family is getting quite large, how many cousins do you have?" Valo said to his friend in a jovial manner.
She continued to explain somethings and said no Delothosin is safe this forrest because they were a bane to the daemon's existence. Because of that Sol was going to be a main target and she asked him if he was prepared for it. Valo smirked he already knew what Sol's answer was going to be. In Valo's eyes Sol was ready for anything this forrest could throw at him. "Sol knows I always got his back no matter what." Valo said out loud.
Valo listened as she began explain Delothosin and why Sol looked the way he looked now, Valo went over to reach to touch Sol's long white hair "It's like your vampire now, very cool." Valo joked.
Valo didn't think she was lying when she said they were probably the only allies in this forest. Though they have met others that have helped them even a little bit like Moon and Elysi. Valo knew Moon was most likely going to be enemy later, he didn't know about Elysi though. Valo was slightly taken aback when she started to approach him though stating she knew that he would protect Hinota with his life and vice versa. She poked his forehead and he rubbed it looking surprised.
"The mind can forget, but the heart doesn't forget what is dear to it." she said to him. Valo followed her and saw she was still holding the ring he gave her. Valo was smiling and rubbed Hinota's hand. "I'll never leave you Hino. I will always be by your side no matter what. I love you." he said to her, she probably couldn't hear him but he didn't care.
But things quickly changed the atmosphere in the air. The mother said a Daemon was approaching and the door was going to close. That left Zaven, Jirou, Joseph and Amaya out their to face the daemon on their own. Amaya wasn't going to be much help in their current state, and Jirou couldn't be trusted. That left Zaven and Joseph and Joseph wasn't much of a fighter. Leaving only Zaven to effectively be the offense against a threat.
On top of that Amaya being out there in the state that she's in was very dangerous, Sol probably wanted to get back to her more than anything. But Valo found himself unable to move from Hinota's side, now holding her hand. "I can't leave her...I can't. The last time I left family behind they died!" he said referring to Charlotte, Nanami and James. Even though they passed on and their wraiths were in his necklace, he still felt responsible for their deaths. Tears started to fall from his face looking at Sol. Anata was beside him. "That isn't your fault master Valorisse." she said to him with her hands on his shoulder.
Do not be a fool! You must leave now!
"Sol! I would never ask you to choose. But have faith in them that they can protect her. If I leave Hinota here now I may never see her again and I can't leave her." he said to Sol with tears coming down his face.

[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.
[attr="class","zavenreescroll"] So upon the last heavy words that he spoke during the last part of the walk that lasted all the way until the end. It was like there was a slight moment where the looks even from the female that walked with them back to the mausoleum seemed as if there was something different about the Golden Dawn’s captain. Even the first look from Jirou stood out as if it was like a sign of irritation or even slight annoyance, this made Zaven catch a notice of what may come. The way he then turned as they arrived to where they needed to be to become absolutely together in defense, there was a sigh that caught his ears. The continuance and steps towards where Zaven had made it to and finished his speech, did not work out any further. There were a few words, which felt like just judgment from the one that joined them, Analise. He had nothing to say to her, because it was Jirou that moved and spoke first as his steps were straight, just twiddling with the moment as a true defender would or should. So he began even before the announcement of an enemy coming to them, Zaven clutched and gripped the fool’s shoulder so he could not take a step further.” [break][break]
”Enough you fucking pretentious fool. The way you just spoke now outweighs how she came to know me. Honestly there is more, but now she is mental strength, a leader, and special Golden Dawn member Jirou, she is nothing like you, you damn, incautious twit. Another step and this will not end well, though you would have to get through me and whatever is about to attack us.” Zaven said first to interrupt the further loud yell from Jirou and rebuttal to turn off the further movement scene of Jirou’s body. ”Those that are inside will definitely defend your sister, you cannot as you are still just yell and act like a weak tool that has a simple blade. Now turn and protect the Mausoleum before you say anything further. I already warned you once!” Zaven then did not look towards Jirou any further as Zaven’s grimoire slipped upward and was ready to cast whatever he needed as his spirit bond, Haraban rose up even though he was ready to fight along with Zaven, but now Hraban was just watching the man that Zaven grasped, even if Zaven was the one that had to continue with further talk or movement.

Sol listened as he heard the mother explaining to them that the rune in the area purify the area but also acted like a map and communication spell hence how Hinota had been able to communicate to them while inside and the runes would help educate her daughters about the outside world though it appeared it had very limited range, they both would hear her asked them not to think badly of her girls since they were young and curious but due to only interacting with their mother they were not as socially aware as others and Sol gently shook his head as he heard Valo seem to understand and he calmed and said that they should move past it before the albino spoke.”its alright we understand with only this place as safety it makes sense they only had limited interactions” he said softly understanding why this was different. The mother then dropped another bombshell in that her daughters while looking like teens were actually younger then Hinota was in her current state and Sol blinked in surprise that how such a thing has happened before the next words explained it all.
It was Asmodeus another of the arch daemons that had come to visit much earlier and his magic had effected the area, at that Sol felt the sinking pit in his stomach deepen as he wondered what on earth would cause the two arch daemons to need to have such a meeting. The mother then confirmed a question that he had asked and showed that she was indeed family to him since she had married into the family with Elysi being her husband and the father of her daughters. At the confirmation Valo had asked him if Elysi was his cousin and jokingly asked how many cousins he had, at that Sol didn't laugh nor even crack a smile as it was clear on his face he felt deep sadness for what has happened to members of his family.”Valo I still dont know much about my birth family not the number of them nor my full relation to everyone, but I am happy to meet more family its a great comfort in a time like this.” he said though the last part shifted from being directed at Valo to addressing the mother and the twins as he gained a small smile showing that as hurt as he was by the situation his family members were in he was grateful all the same to meet them.
The Mother then explained further about how they have survived in the mausoleum and she told them that the rites and rituals in here sustained them on mana but the cost was high and assured them that while they may look it that they were in fact still alive but while agreeing with Valo that it was no way to live but if they were to leave the building after so long in such an existence they would die the moment they took a step outside, Sol couldn't help but feel his sadness for this situation build before she then explained that none of his family were safe in this forest and that they set this place up with a spacial portal since they couldn't not and would not put other family members in danger and then it suddenly start to click in Sols head as he remembered that Elysi had mentioned that he had no clue about this Mausoleum being here.”by the kami Elysi doesn't know your here he thinks you escaped to safety” he said his hand covering his mouth in horror as the situation was worse then expected and he felt his stomach want to turn at such a double cross from the daemons but he forced it down.
As the mother explained that the Delothosin originated from Spade Kingdom he nodded since he had been given a small history lesson by Elenor and Mior while he had been training on the Yuiee Estate so learning that his family origins in a different kingdom was a surprise he hadn't been expecting and didn't catch him by surprise that much now, as she looked at Sol and mentioned that the daemons primary target would be him and asked if he was prepared for that Sol nodded his eyes determined.” I know and I am prepared for whatever lies ahead” he stated his tone showing he was determined and would see his mission thru no matter what, as Valo mentioned he would have his back the tall Albino gave him a grateful smile though he knew in one fight coming up he would have to take the lead on due to his promise but he knew Valo would support him the best he could.
Listneing to his family go on about that if things were normal then they wouldn't be here and he couldn't help but join in her chuckling knowing it was true but when she started to explain that one of the daemonesses in the forest was a narcissist and could be manipulated if they knew how which Sol filed that away for later since he remembered a few things that could mess with such a person. She continued on explained that she wasnt sure about her being evil but was not to be manipulated and also explained that Hinota had been daemon touched but was still pure as the twins had told Valo that Hinota had a broken spirit due to someone strong breaking it on purpose. Sol could sense the conflicted feelings the mother had when asked about wanting to know the outside world and the world tree user could only sigh as he knew why it was so conflicting since they were surrounded by multiple daemons that would kill them given even the slightest chance and if they took even a single step outside the mausoleum then they would die as well.”Valo perhaps thats something best left alone” he said gently though he wished that they could leave this building after they had finished this mission but even then it was likely not possible.
Sol couldnt help but chuckle as the mother mentioned his previous features to Valo and asked if it wasnt a big giveaway. She went on to explain the features that were prevalent in his birth family and Sol nodded in confirmation.”my current looks are what happened before my blood woke up it didnt fully wake until after what happened at the blake estate thats when my skin lost its color and my hair grew out and turned white” he said still a bit miffed that his hair was back to black since he had gotten used to his new color. As Valo reached out to mess with his hair Sol lightly batted his hand away without even looking at him.”except I can go out into the sun Valo besides if anything only my trees are vampiric” he said with a small chuckle before letting out a sigh sigh knowing he was joking and appreciating the attempt to lighten the mood but it was still tough to do so with such a serious situation. When she mentioned that likely they didnt trust them but mentioned that they were likely one of the only allies they had in this forest Sol gave a nod to them.”I do trust you since you havent given a reason not to and have only tried to help” he said though in truth given what had happened with Elysi he still held a flicker of wariness but in this situation and his family being here he was willing to give some trust.
The Instant that the mothers eyes darted from them to the entrance of the Mausoleum Sols head instantly twisted in that direction to follow where she was looking and as she mentioned that a daemon was approaching and the doors would be closing she offered a choice but it had to be now. They could either stay in the building until the threat had passed and then leave or they could exit and help but if they did then the door would not open again. At that Sol clenched his teeth as instantly he felt conflicted since on the one hand they didnt want to go forward without Hinota and didnt want to leave her here especially Valo but on the other hand Amaya was outside and while he trusted Zaven and Joseph to keep her safe he didnt know what was coming but if he rushed out then it gave him peace of mind on Amayas safety but completely screwed Valo over on being with Hinota. The flip side of that was if they stayed then he had to truly trust the rest of the team to keep his girlfriend safe.as Valo asked him to have Faith Sol balled his hands into fists as he focused and took a deep breath to steady himself.” I do have faith So this is our answer we will remain in here until the danger has passed” he said giving her the combined answer since he knew Valo would agree with this decision, he just prayed that their choice was the right one. 'if not that if the daemons dont kill me Hania will'

Paranoid was something Joseph had a touch of before ever entering the forest. It would be safe to say that being within for an extended period of time made it far worse. Their childhood was something that was mostly holes, a book with many pages covered or messed up. Rhymes, songs, poems, and lyrics for instruments and vocals. There was a difference between learning and memorizing and feeling it in your soul, hearing it your heart. ~Music isn't where I will find my understanding. Maybe in some of the hard to reach memories, of father and his friends. I need to get past their deaths.~ The people that treasured his adoptive father and how John had been before falling to madness. ~The cost of not wanting to remember the bad was of course not remembering the good either.~ It was hard to get to the good memories because it meant confronting the bad ones. This was something he needed to do, because he needed more than tiny snippets that were as hard to recall as the bad memories his mind had been pushing back. How can he connect to a child if the only memories of a childhood he had mostly involved trying to put himself back together and music?
It was a lot at once, but it wasn't like there was time to complain or be upset. Being upset wouldn't make where they were safer, nor would it bring anyone back. This didn't stop his arms trembling a bit and his shoulders stiffening, but he didn't speak of anything that he was doing, nor anything in his mind. There was a lot behind the death after he had forced himself through it. People spoke to him gently and rarely ever let Joseph walk far when it could be helped. He was spoken to in a different way, softer and less direct. It still had the data, but in an easier to digest way. It was a lot at once, a jumbled mess. His breath hitched. “They looked happy.” Those words were whispered, a strange upset rearing in his stomach. Somehow remembering when those people were just nice aunt and uncle figures that lived their own lives was just as upsetting as memories of their deaths had been. Knowing their deaths were unjustified was different than seeing it. The child shaped figure raised a hand, slapping himself over the top of the head. ~Now isn't the time for that. At the least I believe I got the data I needed.~ This didn't make his body relax, but at the least he was more ready to try to address the here and now.
It made sense that Amaya was ignoring him. He had gone about everything completely wrong. ~I need to get over my fears and apologize.~ “I am extra paranoid from being stuck in the forest for so long, also from concern that my mother might be one of the bad deamons of this forest, but my mind is like a book with the first chapters being quite dirty. I think I've looked in the right spots to understand how to speak and understand children better.. I apologize for speaking to you improperly before and not recognizing that I should not have spoken about your parents and in general speaking without sense. This is not something I will repeat again.” It sounded like Zaven was getting himself back, mostly? “As said before, I trust and respect you Zaven. Even if I don't agree with your command, next time I will still follow.” The idea of following someone walking far enough from the group to get disconnected from it still sounded like a bad idea, but that wasn't something he could correct. Jirous tantrum wasn't even slightly surprising. “I am not addressing the man child that wants to rip his sister from the hands of safety before a dangerous encounter. Zaven, do you have any orders?”
Rizpaw continued to follow Joseph, who continued following the group. The red head had expected an emotional mess to try to spill from him but for some reason that never happened. Maybe if he had dug more it would have, but that wasn't what happened. Was it possible for him to have less faith in Jirou? Yes, but it didn't feel that way.

[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."
It was becoming a problem, this entire situation was going to end up making his mask slip. He felt that anger in his heart as he tried to walk past Zaven, after everything hed done to be as good a person as he could, why did these fools anger him so much? Why did they make him want to…ah. He realized it when Zaven put his hand on Jirous shoulder with a strong force and a grip that would have made anyone who felt it as an adult buckle, but with him as just a kid, it wasn’t much worse then being grabbed roughly. He had no Power here. Had no leverage. Hed come to save his sister but found himself walking into the pit of an AntLions den. Hed look up at the taller man, his Imperial Jade eyes were filled with an emotion. What it was couldn’t be easily told, even Jirou didn’t fully understand.
Not since he finished puberty, had he ever felt so Powerless. Yet he knew it wasn’t because of weakness, but because he was simply in a place with a power dynamic he had not yet earned his place in. Hed not yet conqured as he was suppost to. Zaven Words…. made his blood boil. ‘How dare this swine speak to me as such. When I take over this world, I promise you Zaven Blake…Your family will suffer in ways men and women have never suffered before. I shall make sure your pathetic, Arrogent, Self-egrandizing, insignificant speck of putrid wretched filthy bloodline is forever ruined.’ hed think to himself before swallowing nevously as if he was actually intimidated. “I….Yes sir…” his tone sounded…defeated and a bit scared missed with what might have been humbling. Hed move to where ever Zaven would have him and hed simply do as what Zaven said. Hed Draw his blade and be there Silently.
Hed be standing in such a way Joseph was still within his vision and hed turn toward him for a moment using his head, but quickly look back as if ashamed. ”I…apologize for my behaviour.” hed say quickly looking at Amaya and to this whore stranger with eyes that showed what could be called true remorse for his actions. ”Besides my Twin…Hinota is my closest family member to me. I am…very protective of her. I would do what ever it took to make sure that she was Safe and Sound.” hed say with an almost hurt and self defeated tone. As if some ego had deflated from him due to Zavens words. Hed look at Amaya again, a look of pain muddled by something like shame.
“If I have made you feel safer with a Stranger, then I apologize and will work to make amends.” hed look to the woman who knew to much. He knew somehow she saw past his mask. “I…do not trust you, But Zaven is right… you are someone I should learn to trust in this moment. I apologize for my mistrust.” hed say softly as he seemed to truly regret his actions. Hed put his hand out and his grimoire would float into it before opening. “Im ready to start…being a team player. Tell me what to do.”
[attr="class","zavenreescroll"] After the initial order and spoken, the mental punch was given to Jirou for how he acted. Zaven was ready for what was to come and within his mind, he was ready for this entire journey to be done with. The reason was so that they could come to terms that were unlike things we were getting into now. Analise’s warning of what was approaching, also with how she spoke previously, he was doing wrong moves within reason or so he thought. Then the initial approach he did to get these movements done, still looking quite young and he still acted like he was when not here. Well that was quite an approach and he did it so that he could give orders, but there was also the approach that would have, and could have been taken in by Amaya. Before he could explain to her though there was the scene and further movement with Jirou, as well as Joseph’s take. As the scene ended Joseph said his words in his normal way while telling Zaven to give his orders, Jirou then spoke and gave his apology before another set of words. Zaven still watched his actions as well as he could and the glance to Amaya. Zaven knew that the words he said were addressed in a rough and harsh way if they were listened to by someone with brain activity that was addressed harshly and how it could be now. [break][break]
After the initial things said there were further words given by Jirou before he also was ready before pulling out his sword and asking for orders. Then Zaven acknowledged the look and words they gave to him, and chose to speak to Amaya first. ”Amaya I know we are all kids and are acting very over the look with how we speak or as if we are playing very badly. We are here to finish what we are doing both inside that building here. Your speaking and the way you said what you did means you are very much a noble and have strength. So let us defend our friends inside. Stand with us, and we can do what we must.” He said that and gave what he thought that he could do, and he gave her a moment before turning to Analise. ”Things have gone to the play and movement has been in and out, but you gave us a warning, so tell me what is coming so that we can defend. I.. His final part of the sentence was a bit drawn back yet he let no huff of air or a hateful expression. Hraban also saw how Jirou and Joseph now listened, and the spirits were all in place as it looked like the team was now there. ” Can you tell us what it is, or perhaps what magic it is bringing for this defensive defense?” He said what he could say, but after the answer he was given he would then Walk in front of the two that moved to be ready for the unknown that was coming to attack. ”Joseph we likely do not have long so move to the left behind Jirou and I. Provide defensive moves when it can be done with what approaches, if possible make a movement to trip or to cause the opponent to be distracted.” That was Joseph’s order as he then spoke to Amaya in the same language, but did not play the game as much as he tried earlier before the damn things that just passes. [break][break]
“Amaya and Analise Stand behind me and be ready for the approach of the attacker. Provide to us some movements that you would make during a fight that you are watching. That would be a way to also cause great distraction against whom we fight with loud words and any magic that you can provide.” He hoped they both did as they could and also addressed him, for if they did he would of course answer back to them as soon as he could. ” Jirou you will fight with everything you can, including that steadily built toy you just took out for display.” The mocking was just to cause the dmn anger that he believed that Jirou could show a damned enemy. ” Fight and give your magic to the best of your ability, give your best to fight on the right side as I will fight in the center and also move between the left and right by giving a simple simple word that you all might smile about. Which would be, Golden” That was the last he said before he moved along with his grimoire and spirit to be ready for what Analise gave them word on who they would fight.

[attr="class","zavenreescroll2"] TLDR: Given the second amount to post, I did what I thought to address the situation and give the orders into how we can proceed. I hope this was the right action.
Post by Joseph Ravencrest✾ on Sept 24, 2024 21:27:48 GMT -5
Seeing Jirou deflate was not what he had expected. Josephs body loosened and eyes widened a bit, his brows going up a little. The surprise was easy to read on his body language. This was possibly the first time ever witnessing the man act in such a way, though technically with the body of a child at the moment. Their pale eyes looked towards the fellow child sized person, their expression starting to soften a bit “Panic and fear are the worst enemies when you want to protect someone. Those emotions make it easy to let go of logic and reason, the things most useful in protecting who is important to you. Being scared for someone important is a reasonable response, but as a magic knight I believe it is important to try to get it under control. I also have similar issues due to loosing many people who I viewed as and loved as aunties and uncles and one father.” He was not a person who wanted to be untrusting of others, so was quite welcome to the idea of this being one large mistake. He had also missed some of the others more questionable words and actions earlier, making it easier to mostly believe them.
This was still the person that made the magic knight slightly uncomfortable since joining the golden dawn. Full trust would be harder than an apology, but that wasn't needed nor expected to the Ravencrest. All that was needed was to mostly think they would not stab him and to put full faith in Zaven. The leader of the golden dawn was easy to trust and have faith in after they had helped the red head as much as they had. In any case the child sized man started walking to move in position. Even if they didn't like the idea of moving behind Jirou, it didn't matter. Zaven was acting like himself again, so it was time to listen instead of not when he didn't like the request. There was one nice thing about being behind Hinotas brother though. He let out an audible sigh after getting into position. This was just a sound relating to their mental exhaustion, something they had already felt before joining the group. It had gotten a lot better after first rejoining and having the soup, but almost always being on high alert was in itself something that would mentally tire anyone out at a quickened rate. Their pale corpse like pink eyes started to look around as much as they could.
It was hard to feel his normal confidence without use of the thing that made him feel most secure and safe, sensory magic. ~Now I can think with my hands a bit easier. I hope the next danger we face isn't my mother. No working sensory magic just makes me feel useless. I don't feel confident in beating someone like her, but maybe I just need to have more faith in Zaven.~ Putting their thoughts into existence through speaking with their hands didn't make anything change, but it did make him feel more prepared. He hadn't helped in killing any deamon in the forest yet, but the biggest issue had been communication and teamwork. “Valo and Sol are both strong, trustworthy, and assuring presences in their own ways so it's a good thing they are both with Hinota.” He missed both of them, but especially how Sol seemed to typically find some way to help the peachy boy calm down, or stay calm. Was it on purpose? They had never entered the red eyed persons mind, so there wasn't any way of knowing for sure. Now there was someone he had basically said next to nothing to this entire time, Analise.
Joseph tried to focus his eyes on her, but the alert she had given the group made it an uncomfortable sensation to do such a thing. “I don't want to bother you more than I already have. I know this is quite rude to ask, but I don't know if anyone else would be good to ask this. Do you know a way to get sensory related magical abilities to function for a human in this forest?” Purposely bothering someone who had only been nice and helpful towards his cousin certainly felt like a terrible thing to do. “Asking questions like that are good. You should have asked her sooner, spoken to her more while there was more time.” Rizpaw had gotten so quiet that the grandmother like commentary had felt unexpected. He wasn't sure if he was just scolded or praised. The spirit had always pushed him to be more social, so this shouldn't have surprised him. Their eyes briefly looked towards her tiny figure. “Even when danger is coming you'll still tell me to be more social?” The tone of his voice was certainly of someone who had been told something similar from the same individual multiple times.
“Yes, ” The cat sized carbon matter spirit didn't even hesitate for a second in response. “Communication and team work has been this groups biggest issues. You have never been good with socializing and getting your thoughts across. You need to communicate more. It wont bother people to have you speak to them more or ask questions. You wont bother anyone by talking to others more. I promise that it's fine to speak. You are not a musician play music during an event, but a magic knight in a dangerous situation where everyone needs to communicate clearly.” He felt more than a little called out. Their mouth moved a bit, but no words came out. He was trying to figure out a good way to respond that would prove the far too old tiny deer shaped spirit wrong, but if she had been than it wouldn't have hurt that much in the first place. “I'll.. I'll try. I've been trying to, but it's hard to not think that talking to much or asking too much is bothersome to others. A musician is quiet at work, but you are right. I need to unlearn some of the things I was taught while being prepared to be a musician, like that.” This just felt horribly uncomfortable for him. Was this how he was to get ready for a fight, with knots shaping in his stomach? It really wouldn't be the first time.

Amaya was in one word. Confused. She was confused about everything and everyone. Jirou was changing his emotions so quickly that she was on guard. Not even her own circle goes through the emotions like that or that quickly. Going from arguing with her over the fact Hinota wasn't the goddess jirou made her seem to be to then being victim to then being pissed to then protective, to now being back to pissed. What was with that boy? She stayed on the opposite side of analise as she looked ahead as they walked back soon seeing the mausoleum as she heard Annalise's question. "Well I love spending time with my circle of friends, going to our parties and enjoying our teas and sweets together. I enjoy dancing and drawing. I can sing and play the violin and flute, but I am not the greatest at them. I love to play with my manabeast my parents won at a spirit festival and I love to spend time with my twin brothers as well...they are the other halves of me. I also like spending what time I can with my cousin Hania. But he is always so busy it is sometimes saddening he cant spend time with others as much as I can" She spoke to analise As she looked down at the ground.
[break][break] Amaya had friends, she had time to be who she wanted in whatever way. She had, in a sense, more freedom then most in her family, because she was a girl. Her brothers were more meant to train to learn for becoming stronger, she was meant to learn to being a proper woman, a lady fit for some marriage in the future. She was not fully meant to be a magic knight or in a strange forest. she was meant for her pretty dresses and social ties. But those like her brothers and Hania, they had much less given the understanding of their places. Hani had more even more so then the others combined and it did sadden her as she felt he needed to have wanted more then just his schedule, his trainings. Surely he wanted to have friends and be able to relax as much as she had. Surely he did. Right? At least that is what she felt in her heart when it came to the odd Ravencrest. He might not be blood but he was still a member of her family. He has been so kind and caring towards her since she and her brothers lost her parents. To her, He was like one of her brothers. That meant he didn't deserve to be alone.
[break][break] She shaked her head as they made it to the clearing only to see jirou and Zaven get into it as she watched them curiously. Seems someone was actually doing something about jirou, even if the prince himself still had a stick in the butt with authority claiming he wasn't there as a magic knight, that his only purpose there was for his sister. She wanted to interject and tell him off to start another argument but she didn't as it wasn't her place and from the sounds of it the two might possibly get in a battle with the other.
[break][break] She turned her attention to joseph as he overexplained an apology. She turn to him as she shaked her head " you could have simply said ' I am sorry for upsetting you, I been in this forest for too long i have lost a lot of human communication' and that would have been fine... Just...Simplify things for me...alright" She said trying to make some headway on apologizing for him. She could tell he was trying but she was still hurt from their last interaction. It didn't help she was exhausted. it didn't help that her eyes hurt. she was tired, she felt like she needed a bath and a bed. She turned to watched jirou now suddenly becoming imitated with Zaven's words to him before she looked at him tilting her head in confusion. Was he scolding her? What did she do? she felt it was more an order then a scold but it was strange to say the least. He did know she didn't have magic right? She didn't have a grimoire or spells or anything other then her bracelet. she has a staff to whack stuff with if anything. She looked towards the mausoleum in worry. she hoped those inside were going to be fine.
[break][break] she had that hope before she was pulled behind analise. She turned her attention back towards where the woman was looking. There was someone coming, someone that analise was on guard for. "How can you tell?" she asked analise taking ahold of the woman's dress peering over the side of her before looking over at Jospeh confused of why he asked of possibly using sensory in this place. Has anything she said not actually get through his head? "Joseph...Is Sensory the only type of magic you possibly have? I can't sense anything outside my own skin, what part of that gives an idea that sensory is going to help now as I haven't sensed anything at all since I awoke!" Said Amaya absolutely confused on why he was so stuck on liking sensory. Was that the only magic he knew? Was it the only trick he possibly knew? No he had golems, scary but golems? She was so confused and unsure what to really say to get through sensory isn't going to help. She watched jirou and Zaven also stand and turned towards wherever this enemy was coming. She tightened her grip as she remained hidden behind Annalise, watching for this threat. She didn't know what she could do but she had to do something. [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.

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.
The eldest of the three woman looked to the pair and shook her head "Perception is everything." she said with a warm and understanding tone. "I am quite sure you both believed we three were undead and that they were teenagers upon seeing us, I do not blame you for these assumptions and perceptions it would be wrong of me." she said showing she wasn't judging them on such things as it was something that anyone would indeed do. "I can understand holding those precious close and not wanting those bonds being questioned, I agree that this is something that should be forgiven and forgotten on both sides." she said a smile on her face sighing looking to the world beyond the door of the mausoleum but the smile weakened and her eyes showed forelorning, she wished to be where her heart was calling her and her children but that was a deathwish. [break][break] She turned her eyes to the pair the smile returning "Elysi and I are members of the vaultkeepers, we were sent here to look for a daemonic relic that had been stolen from the vaults." she said showing why she and Elysi were in the forest in the first place. "I was pregnant at the time but I was still the best person to be partnered with Elysi." she wasn't going to explain why that was the case as it wasn't something that needed to be divulged. "The item in question negates magic sensing completely and prevents spells aligning with the sense from being used. Its range is around four hundred meters in each direction if I remember the information from the codex properly" she said as if recalling the information from a memory. "Ironically, though it is a daemon relic daemons can't activate it." she said with a light chuckle. [break][break] "It means they had someone else turn it on, oddly it has been active for the entire five years it has dwelled within this forest and I don't understand how that is possible." she informed the pair "Luckily it doesn't affect the mausoleum or the twenty or thirty meters it protects around this area." she said tilting her head a little as she tried to recall more information that might be useful to the group about the item in question. "The sensory deprivation as you've seen doesn't affect the daemons but it doesn't affect spirits either they are two threads of the same string after all." she said calmly hoping this was all going to be useful too them "I can tell you the direction you will need to travel to find the item, but, I don't have much information on what dangers between here and there." she said showing it was something they could do if they wished. [break][break] "If you decide to go after the item I will tell you what it looks like, I am sure if you can recover it and take it back to the church you would be rewarded." she knew it was likely an extra danger they would need to take on to do this but if they managed to take it out of here it meant other church members wouldn't be put into needless danger. She listened to Valo and smiled "Ties within that family are not as traditional as you are depicting them." she said showing the family was complex in more ways than one. "As for the numbers of the Delothosin... I don't know the exact number but..." she tapped her lip as she thought of a way to describe it "They could likely fill a small city on their own." she said showing just how large the family was. In truth, the family had their own metropolis within Spade Kingdom that was walled off to protect their secrets. [break][break] "I hope that is true Valoriss because it is unlikely he will leave this forest alive without it and I am glad you are prepared for what comes Sol." she said not waiting to see another of her family suffer the fate of herself, her children or her husband. She listened to how Valo joked around and smiled "You remind me a lot of my husband, he was serious when he needed to be but would use jokes to alleviate stressful or heavy situations." she closed her eyes sighing bringing her hands to her heart, it was clear it was a painful memory "I doubt he is the same man now, how could he be with having to fight to keep his darker natures at bay." she said opening her eyes and fighting back tears. [break][break] "There are all sorts of runes inside this forest, made from all different gemstones which were something Elysi did as we moved through the forest" she said her eyes looking outside once more "He likely put up a precaution to make sure he couldn't leave this forest, he is a good man and would rather suffer than put anyone especially his own family in danger" she said bringing up a hand and using a hand drew a few symbols in the air out of earth "If you see this anywhere it's... um... what did he say..." it was clear it was only something she had only heard a few times "A warding of death's intent..." she stated ommitting that this was a daemonic warding "It means those with intent to kill can not leave the designated area." she said quietly knowing if this ward had indeed been used it meant he saw Elysi saw himself as being a killer. [break][break] It was then Sol said something that wasn't that surprising to her given the circumstances "Do not tell him until he is defeated." she whispered, it hurt her to speak those words that was clear, however, she had her reasons. She looked to Sol "It is fine, like my daughters are curious your friend was too, there are no hard feelings." she said showing she didn't mind Valo asking if they wanted more than what they had because in truth she did want to show her children the world she knew but she also knew it could never happen and had with made peace with that. She was glad to see the pair were still in high spirits even with the current situation. She watched as Valo had followed her to where his betrothed was sleeping and walked away allowing him to speak to her. [break][break] "It doesn't benefit us to give such reasons." she said simply hearing Sol's words "I am still a vaultkeeper as is Elysi, no matter how deep he falls into the darkness of what he is remind him he still has a duty to gnome... it should help him break through even if it is brief." she said after leaning close to sol's ear so only he could hear this. She pulled back and smiled. She had changed her stance and warned them that a daemon was approaching and warned the pair what was about to happen giving them an option to remain or go and help but warned them what would happen with each and if they decided to split up. She listened to what the pair were deciding to do, they had both decided to remain but what happened next she hadn't expected just as the door closed. "That... was not expected..." [break][break]
~~ Outside the mausoleum~~
[break][break]
Analise smiled as Jirou acted out as a spoiled man child, it was clear he wasn't used to the real world. "I didn't say anything." she said almost seeming confused about what he was talking about "But, I'm flattered to know it seems I am living rent-free in that empty head of yours." she said her warm still as friendly as it always had been. "However, since you have brought it up, a few things. One, I am called Analise not woman and if you insist on being disrespectful towards me I will be happy to return it with interest I can be just as spiteful as a spoiled man-child." she said her voice was still warm but it was clear she was warning him "Two, just for your information and I know this must be an alien thing to you but I, like others can and will judge you it is how we hold people accountable for their actions." she said showing she refused to be bullied by him. [break][break] Analise couldn't stop herself from rolling her eyes at Jirou's blatant lack of self-awareness "You obviously were dropped on your head from the top of the rare and elusive stupid tree and hit every stupid branch on the way down." she said keeping Amaya close so she would be kept safe. She could have mentioned that his sister had already issued a challenge for his squad's captaincy but she was quite sure that this was something that would come to light soon enough and so remained quite. "I hate to tell you but this means one of two things. One, when you sign up to the military you are a member of the military no matter where you go so you are still a magic knight right now." she said taking a pause. [break][break] "Two, even if the leader here decides "Fine, you aren't here as a magic knight but as a concerned brother" he could still have you brought up on charges as I am pretty sure this place is a restricted zone so only those who are meant to be here should be inside..." she paused and looked directly to Jirou "O... oh... yikes, this means regardless of which option we go by you are in deep trouble... doubly so if the leader here decides on number one." she said showing that Jirou was screwed no matter what when they left this place. It was then Zaven had his own words of wisdom to offer to Jirou and silently chuckled as he used his own colourful words. "Well said, I am curious how such a woman became one of your military, would you care to share such a story with me?" she would ask Zaven, she was being earnest in her request. [break][break] "The daemon that is coming towards us will never be able to enter that mausoleum, she is safest in there." she said to the group hoping that it would put their minds at ease. It was then Jirou decided to yell to those inside the mausoleum to get his sister out of there and away. It made her facepalm "That place is made out of lavender jade with incantations and protections, it is the safest place and even if it wasn't you yelling like a morron would let the enemy know of a potential evacuation putting your sister in danger. It is clear you didn't inherit the brains within your family." she said shaking her head unable to believe he would be so foolish. She remained quiet but observed Joseph as he tried to explain and apologise to Amaya. [break][break] "You are talking to a child Joseph and so you should keep it short and sweet." she offered words of wisdom. She had managed to tell Amaya everything in an age-appropriate way in a few sentences that had her wanting to help. "If you are a musician I am surprised you don't have this understanding already." she said not tearing into him but her tone almost held a sadness to it that he lacked such a simple skill that every musician she knew had. They could convey things with their melodies and songs even without words but could tell one with their words. "You are far too deep into your own mind and until you get out of there you will always be in disharmony with yourself." she said in a way that he would understand and take to heart or that was her hope at least. [break][break] She turned her eyes to Amaya who answered her questions and she was very tentative listening to every word regardless of the danger, she was so glad that she was distracted about what was about to happen "I am sure they are all very worried that you are so far away from home and in such a dangerous place." she said moving over to the shadow spirit almost plucking him from Zaven, her eyes were still on Amaya as she moved a little away before moving back as Joseph and Zaven had finished speaking to her. She placed the shadow spirit into her arms "Trust me okay, I promise what I'm about to do is so no one will be sad that you are hurt." She said picking her up and running towards the mausoleum as if she was about to run in with Amaya but she stopped short and let Amaya go allowing the momentum to ensure her entry into the mausoleum with the shadow spirit just as the door closed. [break][break] She moved back to the group "She will be safe within the mausoleum." she said standing next to Zaven "I gave her your partner for two reasons. Firstly and most importantly, he threatened to leave you and so your bond has weakened with him, this will force you both to bond and quickly. Secondly, you are the leader here and this allows you a direct mode of contact with those inside." she said showing her train of thought, after all, a spirit and their partner were extensions of each other. She watched and listened Jirou, she didn't believe the words coming out of his mouth but bowed her head a little "I can understand the sentiment, especially with her mind as young as it is, but from my understanding and observation she is a capable young woman." she said her words holding no hostility towards him. [break][break] "I don't need your trust." she said simply "My life doesn't rely on whether you trust me or not but your life might." she said with a smile, it was clear she was unphased about the enemy heading their way or those around her. "Being mistrusting is a valuable tool, you just need to know when to use it." she said with a small shrug showing she wasn't concerned at all about it. She listened as Zaven gave orders, even to herself "Are you sure? You do not what my capabilities are." she said showing she would do as requested if that was what he preferred "I would prefer to act independently if that is fine by you." she after all was not of the military and so didn't have to follow his orders unlike the other two men. [break][break] She had already removed Amaya as a piece on this proverbial game board "You didn't enquire if she could use her magic, remember she has the mind of a child, which means her understanding of magic was what it was at that age." she explained showing Zaven his flaw in what he wanted from Amaya. "Also, mister leader you sound like a motivational speaker rather than a leader. Keep it short, sweet and concise." she said showing that being long-winded wouldn't do anyone any good but it may actually get someone killed. "It is the third eldest child of Lilith.... Luyos" she said calmly "Her element is sap, and she has a mana beast with her looking like a wolf made from thorns strangely that is its element... well wood and plant and she is a bit of a jack of all trades." she handed over the information without any hesitation now that he was acting what a leader should be. [break][break] She hadn't heard what Jospeh had previously said to Jirou as she had been near the mausoleum to ensure Amaya's safety, however, he had asked her a question "I see you've inherited your mother's selfish and self-centered nature." she said her voice holding disappointment it wasn't so much to him as a person but his actions. "Instead of finding out if your cousin could fight or a way to keep her safe away from the danger you ask me about an ability you know doesn't work especially since you have been here the longest out of your companions." she said with a frustrated tone. "It shows where your priorities lie but to answer your question, there are three ways. First, you find the item that is causing the sensory white noise and turn it off. Second, as spirits like daemons aren't affected by the sensory white noise you could spirit dive but I can already tell your bond is weaker than your leader's even with his angry companion so that isn't an option." she said looking between spirit and partner. [break][break] "Third, you could have it cast through your spirit, however, I wouldn't suggest doing this unless you are an unfeeling sociopath as it will severely hurt the spirit if not kill them." she said showing that unless he was willing to possibly harm the spirit he would have to wait until he found the item causing it. "Also, you are more than your sensory magic." she said turning looking at him "Ever think you ended up in this predicament for you to learn this lesson?" she would ask him with a smile once again on her face "The spirits don't give us trials if we can't conquer them." she said It was then that what looked like thorned roots came up but just in front of them came a wall of earth making sure the group was safe "Who knew that trap would come in useful." she said happily watching as both spikes and wall dropped obviously been negated. What could be seen was the daemoness and her mana beast. [break][break]
[attr="class","header2"]GM Notes
[break] [break][break] Within the mausoleum the conversation between the mother, Valo and Sol continued, the two men had been given quite a bit of information on several subjects, just as the door closed Amaya ended up inside with the shadow spirit Hraban in her arms. Valo being a former spirit user would know the bond between a spirit and it's partner so Hraban could be used to communicate with Zaven at least. How the group could use this with the information they had been given from the woman was up to them. The woman seemed surprised with Amaya's arrival but went to bring her away from the door and moved her to rest next to Hinota. [break][break] Outside the mausoleum Analise had ensured Amaya's safety and hadn't held back in her words to those who remained, she came off blunt and harsh but it was clear she believed these things needed to be said so that those that she said them to would be able to grow. She gave the information Zaven asked of her. The daemoness that they were going against was known as Luyos who was a sap user that could do a little bit of everything and was accompanied by a mana beast who used wood and plant. The mana beast had used a sneak attack but a previously placed trap had countered it, when the two cancelled out each other the daemoness and her mana beast could be seen a little ways away. The next move was on the group to decide. [break][break] While they have all become younger they do have their memories up until that point and they have their personalities in check... well except the girl's they will react as they did at that current age. In addition to all of this, they have access to all their spells, however, regardless of rank they are all considered junior rank although their normal ranks mana cost and sustain will be applied, if they want to make their spells stronger they will be 25% of the charge added per rank above junior (This means that an intermediate spell will cost 25 ¦ 13, a senior spell will cost 45 ¦ 23, a grand spell will cost 88 ¦ 44 and an archmage spell will cost 160 ¦ 80 if you want the actual power behind the spell they chose) and will hit for a maximum of 1/2 junior damage without a spell helping them become stronger.

"Don't need a reason to seek strength."
Your weak and a fool. You chose the well being of one girl, over dealing with the enemy. Weakness.
Valo took a moment to wipe his eyes, relieved that Sol had decided to stay inside. Even though the woman and her daughters were proving to Sol that they could trustworthy, it was still the best decision to stay inside and ensure Hinota's safety. Valo stood up and went over to Sol going in for a strong hug. "Thank you." he said to him. Of course more could be said, but there was understanding between the two and that would be enough.
Now that the decision was made there was small sense of relief that was lifted off Valo's shoulders, of course aside from the obvious they were in a daemon infested forest. Valo let out a deep breath and put his hands on his hips, pacing a little bit taking all the info that the woman was giving and taking it in. The daemonic relic that cancelled mana sensory needed to be deal with and in their hands, that was probably their next move. The sensory cancellation didn't effect daemons, but it also didn't effect spirits. Which was pretty vital information.
"We'll have to get the relic no doubt about that." Valo said out loud. Valo himself had not run into Elysi yet, but he assumed the group did before he arrived. It sounded like Elysi was an ally and also an enemy that would have to face eventually. More so to put him out his own misery on what do with him exactly Valo would let Sol decide as that was his family.
Then something quite unexpected happened, the daemon was heading towards the group outside. But another person Valo wasn't familiar with had made a smart move and was able to get Amaya inside the mausoleum before the door closed. Amaya still had the mind of a child, so Valo had to act accordingly. But he was sure Sol was happy she was inside their rather than outside.
He walked towards her. "Amaya! Do you remember me? Valo! I'm glad your in here you'll be safe!" he said to her with some heavy enthusiasm in his voice. The girl was probably scared shitless, hopefully speaking to her with some enthusiasm and letting her know she's safe could relieve some of that fear even if a little bit.
But he also saw that she was holding onto Zaven' spirit Hraban! Valo used to have a spirit tied to him, so he knew how spirits and their magic worked. It could be used as a way to talk to Zaven!
"We can use the shadow spirit to talk to Zaven!" Valo said out loud for the group to hear. Valo bent low facing the shadow spirit. "Hraban! I need to speak to Zaven! Zaven! Can you hear me! We won't be able to come back out after the Daemon is gone or defeated! But we have more information on how to get rid of the sensory cancellation! So beat the taste out of that Daemon! So we can get going!" Valo said with a raised voice, honestly the whole thing was quite comical.

[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 was beyond angry. What ever well of patience he had was quickly filling with blinding rage and quite frankly he was ready to explode. This woman this…. this…. the anger calmed almost instantly. Ah… she wasn’t a woman. She couldn’t be. A woman would never behave this way to a man such as him. He thought back to the first woman he met in the forest. She was no doubt plotting something. She recognized that even though she had plans she had better to appease the dragon then to anger it. Yet this…Corrupted and unrepentable Filthy excuse for what one might dane to interprite slightly as a woman dared to defy him with her words. It made him angry. But he understood now. She want human. She was a test. A trial sent by the world to test him and he had nearly failed. Her words and actions this entire time had been meant to upset him. To find his weakness.
He watched as Joseph moved behind him, and he breathed out as he closed his eyes for a second as the woman changed her focus to Joseph. He would inhale as the wall of thorns and and earth slammed against each other negating them both. Her words made it seem like she ahd done it, or at least knew what to prepare in case of attack. He felt the force of the attackas he opened his eyes and with the actions of one with an understanding of their on state of being. At least n some fashion. He knew this woman wouldn’t be anything close to easy and he would need to make sure he was ready to do this fight. The instant the wall dropped he would place his left hand over his heart with the palm flat before moving his right hand forward and points his index and middle finger outwards making his body almost seem to glow with a red tiger eye aura as if he was creating a second-skin defensive shield, Jirou would step back moving to be almost directly infront of Joseph, as if acting as Bulwark against the world. After a single moment, the aura would begin to change into grow to be 5m tall and doesn't have any detail, quickly after this, the aura starts to show the detail of what an vanguard of the dragon god Tianlong's court would usually be wearing as their uniform.
as it would grow and move out of its space, another would begin to grow in the same spot, and then a third each one standing infront of the group acting as another wall between them and the enemy. Hed step forward making his way past Zaven, but still behind the Golems. The heat coming from the golems was oppressive, and the ground directly under their feet burned turnign the dirt into hardened earth and what sand was mixed in into shimmering glass, making each step act like a shining pathway, yet hed not burn the woods. He kenw to do so might anger this woody witchthing before them. “I would rather not be forced to do battle in this forest. Doing so may cause my Golems to damage it. Please, Retreat to your master or Mistress and leave us be and let them know We wish peace, but we are prepared to fight and ruin if need be.” hed say loud enough for the thing to hear. Hopefully it was intellegent enough to understand his words and threat.
Combat Summary
[attr="class","jirouscroll2"]
SPELL USED
Name of Spell: Illusion of Self-Perfection
Spell Element: Pure Aura
Spell Rank: Senior
Mana Cost: 30 | 15
Type of Golem: Predator
Applicable Perks: Armament | Elemental Oddity
Description:
Placing his left hand over his heart with the palm flat he moves his right hand forward and points his index and middle finger outwards making his body almost seem to glow with a red tiger eye aura as if he was creating a second-skin defensive shield. After a few seconds, he takes two steps back from the aura remaining although it does grow to be 5m tall and doesn't have any detail, quickly after this, the aura starts to show the detail of what an vanguard of the dragon god Tianlong's court would usually be wearing as their uniform. (This is just aesthetics). With the armour, it doesn't seem to have a human face but dragonic as it is a golem it's hard to tell if this is a mask or not. With the use of the ammo rules, three golems can be created at any one time. Due to their apparent ties to the celestial dragon they can fly and can be used as a mode of transportation allowing up to 3 passengers at a time and being able to move 20 m/s when they do so.
