[attr="class","zavenreescroll"] There were then some talking back of what was said awfully quickly from how he moved, gave orders, yet the next little thing that happened next caught him off guard, and yet surprised and angered the Golden Dawn’s leader. When he was ready for the information and for the orders that he gave to start going, yet new moments were quickly performed before the movement. Joseph was quick to understand Zaven and got to where he could do as told, yet there was further questions that needed answers then that could help in the moment, yet when Amaya heard Zaven there was the issue of before and he was ready to sigh, but he did not because had to move, and he had his issues with talking. Then before he could speak again Analise was quick to make her words and moves to Jirou first were actually laughable, but he made no instances of such, yet Hraban did. Zaven could feel that pickup in the words pushed and agreed with her and Zaven was about to tell his friend and his connected spirit to not be so pushy. [break][break]
As it continued he wanted to actually step in to tell her not to keep pushing, but it did make sense, and how it all ended Zaven could hear how the female spoke and was seeming to make a move or about to just not help them and talk an absolute amount of shit, and even Hraban could hear his mental look. When the question was asked of him, he would give a few seconds before he would give a slight nod. ”When there is time, there will be time to do so.” He spoke, yet it was more of a, time will need to move. Then it progressed further in the moment as steps were made, more was said, and Hraban was feeling as though he was being resisted by his familial brother. Then as Analise moved and gripped Hraban he felt his heart being struck as the words were said to where they could be heard by the ones he gave orders to. Then the final movement ensured Hraban was taken as well before Amaya and Hraban were then placed into the place those outside were going to do all that could be done to defend. Zaven was going to chase as his eyes went wide before even Hraban could speak the doors shut. [break][break]
He was angry and wanted to give Analise an angry twist and take her down, but before he would just break down and do so. She explained it which made Zaven remember what had happened before now and how they were now defended as the doors were closed. This would give them just a moment to quickly bond so that they could be together once again. Finally those inside and all of them outside could talk to each other. Hraban could feel his rage while Zaven could feel his surprised and unwanted feeling. Zaven toned into Hraban for a moment ”I know this was..” He took a seeming breath in his mind but he did so physically as it took a single breath when everything started. ”Do not worry, we can do this, even with our issues, I trust you and we can and will make it out of here, Hraban.” In the mental message he spoke his name and he could not see the spirit, but he hoped that there would soon be an answer as his attention was back to listening and watching the others as it quickly moved with them all still. The further speaking she gave, gave the facts that there were things that he could have done and that she had a better way to contribute rather than what they were both told in an order. More speaking told him to be better how he gave the orders and how he spoke, which also called reminders of memories of how he did so and also did not do so earlier. [break][break]
The final speaking progressed as the capability and the orders given. She explained to him that she was a different woman, and held a rather strong sense and it surprised him for a moment. ”Very well then, you are on our side, not a knight so do as you must, but I trust you.” He spoke after all was said movements were made. As a movement for an attack The trap was used to give them all a moment against an attack from their attacker. Then what could not be seen at first now showed itself along with what was described by Analise. Summoning from behind the initial situation on Joseph’s side using it quickly working on his own, seeming to NOT follow the order. Zaven saw the deamoness that approached along with the Mana Beast as the attacking force and as it came forward it was as described by an Analise. With the moment As it all happened Valo began to speak to Hraban with a small knowledge or the idea that it would work, it was hoped that it could be pushed to them. pushed to Zaven saying that he was rather “hurt” not to help, then to make their opponent leave and then that they could leave. It was all given to Zaven in a rather bored mood, but it was then that Zaven just thanked his spirit, before telling him that he would do his absolute best, and do not worry. The beast is first and foremost as Jirou makes his fiery move. After a few moments Jirou stepped past Zaven and spoke in a way that made it look like he was trying to make a move above the captain he just said he would follow orders with. Then he would look to Analise and shrug before speaking to her. ”Again if I did not say it yet, thanks for that trap. Do what you wish to do.” He walked up as soon as Jirou spoke and acted like either a boss, or someone that was able to do more. It was then that Zaven smacked him on the back of his head. ”You still have not fucking listened. Learn your place. Follow orders as I have said.| He said and walked past the golem and looked to the Mana beast and then the larger target. [break][break]
He looked like he did before, after doing as he must, trusting what was said, calling out what was done, and currently feeling the pain of his spirit not at his side. He was ready to do what he, the captain of the Golden Dawn, could do. His grimoire still at his side, and he felt the powerful ache as he was going to use the biggest golem once pushed at. Then he spoke one last time. ”Why are you here? We know you have been watching, and we are being watched. Also this is a pain in the ass.” Zaven said as he made sure that he told Hraban to tell those in the mausoleum what head said. Hraban was ready to leave to help Zaven, but he was still there, wanting to just help the others inside. The bond was thin, and Zaven addressed it with a final mental moment at the time. ”This is the absolute moment Hraban. Through thick and thin. We have suffered and grown. This moment I will continue to be strong for them, for Hinota, for the Golden Dawn, for who is here even today, but finally I will be strong for you.” He did want to talk further, but he felt a great flick as though the connection were a string of a harp. It stuck in his heart and mind.

[break]
[attr="class","zavenreescroll2"] TLDR: I believe I hit the showing that was made, and even though the moment was made by Jirou to move in front of Zaven. This is a moment that could be used as the following orders and the lunge of trying to tighten the link to Hraban. Analise is seen as a knowledge and more like an assassin, or otherwise stronger NPC that was now placed into the event.

[attr="class","Solscroll"]
Sol listened to the mother as she explained that Perception is everything that they likely had thought of them as undead and the twins teenagers at first glance and she didn't blame them for that since it would be wrong of her before also stating that she understood that most never wanted precious bonds to be questioned but agreed that it should be forgiven and forgotten to which the decay mage nodded in agreement,he caught the look she gave the door behind them and he gave a small smile back though he still felt sadness for the fact that if they left that it would be the end for them. The mother then went on to explain that she and Elysi were vaultkeepers of Gnome and that the reason they had entered this forest was to find a daemonic relic that had been stolen and that despite being pregnant at the time she was still the best partner for him.
Sol wondered why that was the case but since she wasn't going to divulge further he wasn't going to pry since she was already helping them greatly with this information. It was when she explained that the relic in question was an item that negated magic sensing completely and shut down spells that utilized sensory as well and that its radius was 400 meters in every direction from the item, at that Sol blinked in surprise as he gained a contemplative look “hmm that would explain the sensory white noise and why we are struggling so much with moving thru the forest” he said before he caught her saying that despite it being a daemonic relic that daemons couldn't activate it and Sol joined the mother in chuckling “I suppose that's a small mercy” he said finding a bit of amusement in the fact that despite it helping the enemy right not that it couldn't be activated by said foes.
As the Mother explained that someone else had been used by the daemons to turn the item on and it had been active for the entire five years it has been in the forest but she didn't know how that was possible but did go on to say that the item didn't effect the mausoleum or the surrounding area the building protected. “five years of sensory deprivation I cant begin to imagine what that would do to people” he said though as she explained that the sensory deprivation didn't effect daemons or Spirits as they were two ends of the same string and it was becoming clear to the Delothosin that as long as that item was active they were always going to be on the backfoot to the daemons in the forest since with the ability to be free of the sensory negation they were free to torment and strike the group at their leisure since they couldn't sense it coming.
“the directions towards the item would be of great help, even if theres dangers to get to it as long as its still active we will be at a disadvantage so its best if we reclaim it” Sol said with a grateful smile to the mother since even if it were simple directions at least that gave them a destination to aim for next and the removal of such an problem would help them out in the long run on this mission. Sol calmly listened as the mother would talk a bit more about the Delothosin to Valo to help him understand the family a bit more since Sol still didn't know much and was still in the process of learning but as she explained that the ties within the family were not normal in a traditional sense but to give him an idea of how large the family was she explained they could fill a small city on their own with no issue which made Sol blink as he knew his family was large but not that large.
It was comforting to Sol to know that his friend had his back and the mother seemed to shade that sentiment as she explained that He likely will not leave the forest alive without the aid of his friends and teammates, when she mentioned that she was glad that Sol was prepared for what comes he nodded knowing that what awaited him in his forest was likely going to push him not just physically but mentally and emotionally, he thought back to his promise to Elysi and he wished he could tell the mother what he had to do but he had promised to remain silent on that conversation from the cottage and he would honor that no matter how much it pained him. The mother mentioned that Valo reminded her a lot of her husband that he was serious when needed to be but also used humor to lighten stressful situations.
He could see that she was holding back tears and Sol couldn't help but speak.”I don't know how much of him has changed but he helped in a earlier part of the forest before we found out the situation... he was kind and comforting and his words were reassuring in the situation we were in” he said softly his eyes held a sad look in them as he knew what fate had in store for him and the Delothosin knew that it likely was going to haunt him for a good long time possibly for the rest of his life. She explained that Elysi had placed runes made from different gemstones throught the forest and likely set up precautions as well to keep himself bound here.”we used gemstones he palaced earlier to navigate the forest and one had even helped us avoid a nasty encounter” he explained before the mother continued and showed a few symbols in the air which Sol focused to make sure to memorize before explained they meant warding of deaths intent meaning that those that were intent on killing could not leave it. Sol knew that was important so he filed that away for later.
Upon his words that Elysi didn't know they were there he heard the mother say not to tell him until he was defeated and Sols heart ached but he understood why they needed to keep silent until the end as him finding out before hand could cause more danger,”alright we will remain silent on that until the end” he said softly, he nodded as the mother mentioned it didnt benefit them to give such reasons but as she leaned closer to whisper into his ear that she was a vaultkeeper same as her husband and that no matter how deep he fell into the darkness reminding him he has a duty to gnome would help him break through even if it was only brief. At that he smiled back at her happy to know that he had something that could help when the confrontation with Elysi eventually happened.
As they made the choice to remain in the mausoleum Sol blinked as Valo hugged him and he hugged him back.”its no problem Valo” he said before suddenly blinking as before the doors to the Mausoleum had shut Amaya was suddenly flung into the Mausoleum as the doors shut behind her, apparently she wasn't alone as she Zavens spirit was inside with them as well and he felt his worry's calm a bit as she was now in a safe area.”I wasn't expecting that either but Im glad that she is ok” he said his smile brightning as he turned to face Amaya as he saw the mother moving to help her from the door and to where Hinota was resting.”its ok Amaya they are friends” he explained his tone was soft and calm to make sure that she wasnt scared, he knew this situation was not an easy one to deal with but hopefully the fact that no one was hurt or fighting inside would help her calm though Sol hoped that the three outside would be able to handle whatever threat had arrived.

“It feels like I can protect anyone when I can use sensory, even if I'm more than that. I know that isn't logical.” the ex azure deer hadn't expected Analise to pick up his cousin. The idea that she could be moved inside that building hadn't been seen as a possibility. For a brief time, everything in him tensed, their fingers rolling towards his palms. There was no movement to stop the near stranger. ~She has only acted to protect Amaya since we met her.~ Amaya was safe. What had been fear drained out of their body to a degree, even if he hadn't had time to answer his cousin. Things felt like they were moving too fast, the best thing he could do would be to continue to listen to Zaven. “Thank you for doing what I hadn't considered possible.” It was said only two others from their group besides Hinota could go into the mausoleum. The idea that she could be moved from danger hadn't even been considered as a possibility in their mind. He had always known sensory was something he didn't need, but it was also something he had used even when it hadn't been needed. There was just something nice knowing Amaya was safe.
“It's terrifying to not see where all the dangers are coming from.” The idea of the deamon coming had hit before the golem had come into view. Joseph tried tensing back up, but it just wasn't the same. His body was ready, but there wasn't any fear behind it. The young man just felt relief. It wasn't like he wanted to die, but the red head hadn't considered his own life on the top of the priorities ladder. Sensory had left his mind as soon as a risk to Rizpaw had even popped up. It wasn't a consideration or a question anymore. “If I had what most other musicians had, than maybe my mind would be more flexible and creative. It's still a good working one.” Creativity was good for making new ideas and adapting well to changes. It was a very good thing to have a lot of, so long as one remembered logic. Flexible thinking also added to adaptability. It was hard to see now, but this was something the peachy light skinned person had improved at over time. The recent failures on the red heads part had not been lost on him, though it was hard for it to stick too long with how chaotic everything had been. At least Jirou was playing nice for however long the black haired individual felt like.
Their pale corpse like pink eyes looked at the trap magic, as well as the danger before them. There had been no further orders from Zaven yet, but it should be assumed they should get ready for battle. Jirous approach felt more than a little baffling. Keeping in front of Joseph made sense due to their captains previous orders but, they were both trying to reason with her through the golem? Jirou and Zaven? “I feel like they aren't in the mood to talk peace.” This felt a bit confusing and backwards to say. Why? The man in a childs form believed in finding a peaceful resolution when it could be found and hated violence. The golden dawn member would not avoid it to the point of getting in the way of their job, or living. “I don't mind being proven wrong.” They had been told there was a dangerous person coming and the only thing that had kept them from getting attacked had been a trap. ~Provide defensive moves.. like what?~ The movements with his hands had helped their mind along. Transportation could be distracting, but it wasn't really a defense. Their smaller and faster golem was note, but carnation had good defense and wouldn't have issues moving around so long as it's wings remained closed.
It did feel slightly uncomfortable to have Jirou closer than he had been not so long ago, but they were supposed to stay close anyway, right? “Better teamwork means more communication, okay. I'm going to use carnation.” Joseph was trying to get better at being on the same page as everyone as he had seen too many instances of not actually being on the same page as everyone already. He was also at fault for that and knew it. He took a step back to get enough space between him and Jirou that he could hug his own upper torso without becoming at risk of bumping the other. There was no reason to give any reason for the other to get upset after they had started behaving better, so that was going to be avoided as much as possible. After the self hug, they held out his right hand, activating the spell. Bits of carbon matter started to form the spell, the manticore shaped golem taking shape. The spells wings were folded, the thing named Carnation being in a sitting position. It wouldn't be hard to move it to a fighting position, but at the very least he didn't want to not giving talking a chance. He didn't think they could avoid fighting, but Joseph wasn't going to purposely get in the way.
“...Maybe I shouldn't have picked the golem that was based on a pallbearers spell...” It was a bit late to think on how that may not be an appropriate choice when not so far away was a mausoleum, but that did not stop the realization from occurring. Of course carnation had a good shape and size for mobility! “Is it bad to have picked her, or good?” There was some slight regret picking them, but he also really liked it's design. “Maybe I'm over thinking it.” Possibly accidentally picking what could be an ill omen didn't really matter enough to think long on when danger was here and likely going to go for another strike. There was not enough time or reason to switch to a different golem, which would be costly in time and mana. Carnation was at the side of the group, so it wasn't that close to Jirous golems.

Spell in use[/spoiler]Name of Spell: Carnation Spell Element: Carbon Matter Spell Rank: Grand Mana Cost: 50 | 25 Type of Golem: Balanced Applicable Perks: repair shop, puppet master Description: The caster hugs their own upper torso before holding out their right hand to activate the spell. Bits of carbon matter start to form, coming together to shape the spell. The face looks vaguely shaped like a human mannicans, the only feature not looking empty being round eyes made of carbon cubic diamond. The majority of the body is shaped like a carved figure of a lion, having visible joints for movement akin to a doll. The paws have retractable claws made of carbon cubic diamond. They have a dark grey coal body, black mane, a black scorpion tail, and grey dragon wings. The visible joints in the carved looking tail resemble something akin to a snake toy with a multitude of short rounded joints and puffed out parts between the joints, the carved stinger like shape being at the end. The wings look jointed and carved like the rest of the body. While it could never be mistaken for looking remotely like a living manticore, it can still move and function as a proper golem of its rank. It's 12 meters long, 10 meters tall as a whole, but four meters tall if one doesn't count the wings or tail. It's two meters wide if the wings aren't taken into account. If they are taken into account, then it can be 10 meters wide. It can deal grand rank damage when an attack hits its target. It has a maximum of 5 passengers, still moving at 24m/s while carrying passengers. Per the ammo rule, for an additional 75 control the caster can summon another golem. The amount that can be summoned is capped at 2 at a time. If the golem is damaged then it will recover senior rank damage the next round.
Amaya look around as she nodded keeping ahold of analise's skirt as she watched Zaven rip into jirou and vise versa only for jirou to back down and fall in line. That was one relief even if she felt the quick anger to submissive backing down was nothing but a ploy. She didn't believe anyone can genuinely change their emotions so much so quickly without some down time between the switching. She herself took minutes in between and still felt more scared, tired and worried then the anger and hurt she felt earlier. She was still awake even if she felt like she needed a nap. She looked up at analise listening to her words as she nodded. "I don't want them to worry though cause there is more to worry about with themselves then just me."She said before tilting her head confused at what analise was going to do. She trusted the woman as the woman did nothing but be kind and protective of her from jirou to the others upsetting her in various ways. The woman had simply told her all that was happening as she understood what was needed and what was done. "I Trust you Analise."She said as she was sure that was the right thing to do.
[break][break] She felt analise pick her up as she curled up the best she could receiving the shadow spirit into her hands as she held him carefully pulling herself around him out of instinct. She didn't want the possibility of a spirit getting hurt. She would rather get injuired then it. She then felt analise's protective grip let go as she was tossed into the mausoleum with a gasp as she embraced for a hard landing. Only to feel the arms of another adult catch her as she opened her eyes looking up at the woman as she wasn't sure if she was to scream or cry. The woman looked like some sort of undead but she wasn't that. Amaya could tell that much. She knew sol Valo and Hinota were down here so if they were still alive, then they were alright, meaning this woman had to be alright right? She then heard valo's voice as she let the woman carry her as she release hraban from her hold "y-yes valo I remember you, as I remember sol and hinota."She said gently " It, It is thanks to analise that I am in here with hraban."She said gently hearing the confirmation from sol they are friends as she felt the mother release her as she listened to valo speak to the spirit as she tilted her head as she rubbed her eyes " Valo the spirit can convery messages back and forth from it to the one who has the bond" She said with a yawn feeling her body relaxing immediately knowing she is out of danger along with two she has no issue or fear of them unlike the others outside.
[break][break] "I hope analise is alright..she is nice...compared to them..."she muttered laying back on the bed of flowers " Analise is someone who came to use, explained all i needed to know to actually be of help...she is really nice...I hope she will be alright and keep them alive."She muttered sitting back up wrapping her arms around her knees pulling them close to her chest. So much was going through her mind but her body was tired, it was exhausted from the screaming and crying. She needed to hold still to not rest. Now wasn't the time to rest right? She looked around looking at the woman and the girls " t-t-thankyou for allowing us here and...keeping hinota safe."She said reaching into her sleeve pulling out the lavander jade bracelet she found as she looked at hinota, placing it in her hands "It belongs to her. I wanted to make sure she got it."She said softly to a whisper as a smile rested on her face nodding her head trying her best to not fall asleep but she felt so relaxed and safer in here then out there. It was a hard fight for a child and slowly she was loosing that battle as her eye lids flutter some as she shaked her head trying to stay awake.
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]

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 mother of the mausoleum watched the interactions between Valo and Sol. It was so rare to see two people knowing what was at risk and coming to a single conclusion, but still, her eyes went to the sleeping floral mage. "You realise to her you both likely made the wrong decision, and I would have to agree with her," she said softly as she let a new person slide into her domain. She sighed knowing her own children didn't like when too many people entered the last time but this was a child and so wouldn't send her out given the threat, instead she had led her to the casket where Hinota was laid. "The reason I say this is because one life isn't worth the many that rely on your assignment succeeding." she informed the two men, at the end of the day they had made their decision and there was no way to change it. [break][break] She nodded to Valo "If you hope for the sensory white noise to be lifted you will, but if someone has high enough ki senses then it will not affect them and those partnered with a spirit can request for them to lead the way." she said showing that they didn't need to obtain the item unless they wished to do so but it, of course, would make it easier overall for those who were sensory-rich. She observed the pair as she helped the tired young girl settle. She shook her head hearing Sol's words "That is only part of the reason you are struggling, the forest is ever changing because of Lilith's influence over it." she informed him "Or that is what Elysi came to believe." it still hurt her to speak her husband's name but she wanted to help as much as possible. [break][break] "It could be, but you need to ask how it got here and how was it activated. I stated a non daemon would have to have done the latter but there are many beings in this forest that aren't daemonic" she replied to Sol's words, she understood why he would speak in such a manner but there was still a lot of information even she didn't know on this matter. "People adapt when a sense is removed from them, some people are sensory inept at birth and that is why they rely on their Ki." she explained to him "Besides, there are places where the mana is very thin or even non-existent so those with Ki would be better equipped to handle it." she said thoughtfully. Listening she nodded "Once you are able to leave I will give you the direction that I can feel it in, I will give a rough estimate on how many kilometres it is away from here." the information would do them little good right now and maybe forgotten by the time the fight was over. [break][break] "If he is still attempting to help you then he is still there completely." she informed him knowing just how Elysi was "Although, he might be a lot more grumpy and who could blame him for living in a never-ending nightmare." she felt so sorry for him, more so as he had been betrayed. "The obsidian will hurt him the issue is where it will prevent him from crossing the barrier it will enrage him making him far more dangerous, if he told you to stay away from them then it is for your safety." she informed the pair It was then that the pair took note of Amaya and then the spirit that had been in her arms. "She's correct, spirits can give information to their partners but they aren't a communication spell." she said watching what happened and shaking her head, she was glad he was trying to get the information to the one leading the group. [break][break] "I know you are stressed, but you are giving dear Hraban bad information to pass to his partner." she informed him "The door will open after the threat is gone, it wouldn't have opened if you left." she corrected him "The reason for this there would have been no one inside that would want to leave and no one deemed pure enough to open the door from the outside." she notified him. "You seem quite energetic Valoriss." she chuckled seeing how he spoke so earnestly "In truth, I am surprised a daemon came here, the jade weakens them which means she doesn't see those outside as a threat." she said sighing, "From what I've seen the three outside are not on the same page which means she could take them out even in her weakened state." she informed those inside, she was truly hoping this was not the case. [break][break] "Analise?" she quirked an eyebrow for a moment but shook her head smiling at the young girl "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you or the others, you are safe here." she said watching her listening to everything she was saying "It seems as if your new friend is very kind, I'm sure that the spirits will watch over her and keep her safe" she said softly, her voice clearly that of a mother knowing how to soothe a child. "You don't need to thank me Amaya, I am glad I can keep them safe, but you look tired. It must be quite a lot to take in, so perhaps you should rest." she almost cooed to her. "If any of you have questions feel free to ask, we'll do our best to answer them if we can." she said knowing there wasn't much they could do right now with the door closed. [break][break]
~~ Outside the mausoleum~~
[break][break]
Analise could tell that she was still getting under Jirou's skin, it was amusing to her. It was clear that he had never been taught the true way of the world and believed that everyone would just grovel at his feet, well she was a harsh teacher it would seem as if he was getting a much-needed reality check. "I can see the cracks in your mask little boy and the seething that is seeping from it. Is your ego that fragile?" she whispered under her breath, again it would feel as if she was behind him whispering into his ear alone. "Not every woman is going to be an obedient doll like your sister, who, by the way, is far more powerful than you'd ever hope to be." she finished no one in the group other than Jirou would be able to hear these words. [break][break] She remained quiet watching the daemon and her mana beast after its attack had been countered by her trap. She watched as Jirou almost looked as if he was protecting himself, it turned out it was the way he summoned a golem. It was quite interesting, to say the least, but it wasn't overly efficient as he could easily take the hit while summoning it. 'All-flash and flare no practicality' she thought to herself on the matter. She blinked in disbelief as he began to speak to Luyos "Did you eat the red berries as a child?" she would ask him unable to grasp him attempting to be diplomatic when it was clear the daemon in front of them wasn't there to talk "Luyos is intending to kill you, you fool!" she was trying her best to get it through his head that there was no reasoning with this daemoness. [break][break] "As I've already said, you are not an apex predator here and they will take your threats as a joke." she was starting to think there was nothing but clay between his ears. She had given up on him, it wasn't worth her time or effort to get someone who couldn't see past the end of his own nose to see sense. "I didn't mean to step over your's and your partner's boundaries Zaven, that being said your bond needs to strengthen quickly, this was the best way I could think of to help with that." she was genuinely apologetic as she explained herself for a second time to the shadow mage and his spirit partner "Also, I knew it would allow you to keep in touch with those inside so they could at least aid you." everything the woman had done since joining them had been systematic and logical for the groups survival and growth even if it hadn't seemed like it at the time she had acted. [break][break] Hearing that she would give the story of how someone like Hinota entered the military and would be told to her at a later time she nodded "Thank you, I am always happy to learn about unusual cases." she said her voice almost warm as she spoke. "I am not on your side, nor am I on the daemon's side." she informed him, her voice seeming almost serene as she spoke on the matter "Just at current, our desired outcome align." she was being candid and it was easily heard in her tone. She didn't truly care how the group took that revelation it was merely a matter of fact as far as she was concerned. She would help them strengthen, grow and survive for as long as their desired outcome was the same. [break][break] She listened to Joseph when he explained his reason for wanting his sensory back "If you want to protect become a defensive mage, not a sensory one." she stated her voice almost curt but not quite. "Sensory doesn't defend it gives information, allows information to be transferred over long distances, can track, hide your own mana signature and even make people see things that aren't there." she explained showing why the peach-haired mage was misguided on his way of thinking. "The fact you didn't consider it is troubling as she is meant to be your family." she said shaking her head, it was clear that she was less than impressed with the man just by her tone. It was then he said something that showed truly why he wished for his sensory to work. "You need to start being honest with yourself, it isn't because you feel like you can protect people with your sensory but rather you are scared due to not knowing where danger is." she sighed. [break][break] "You need to come to terms that it isn't always going to be possible to know when danger is around you. I mean you could get mugged, pushed down a flight of stairs or out a window, pickpocketed or a random horse could trample you." she said giving some examples of dangers no one could see coming "And if you are afraid of the dangers of this line of work you need to find a new career." she said crossing her arms before walking over to him and leaning into his ear "If you are so afraid of the unknown dangers that come with merely living you should remain in a single box room with nothing in it, then you'll be nice and safe." she said walking past him but what he said next caused her to stop midstep "No, your mind isn't a good working one, it is too afraid of what if's and due that is rigid and unadapting. You need to get out of that meek head of yours and embrace life to its fullest as you never know when the breath you draw will be your last and you don't want to leave this plain of existence with any regrets." her voice honest with him. [break][break] "You would be correct" she would reply as she moved to the mausoleum and climbed up it carefully watching what would happen between those below. She would keep her word to someone she held dear and help them grow and survive until their paths separated for one reason or another. She had to wonder if they remembered some vital information they had previously been given about the mausoleum and the daemons, she wasn't about to willingly give it up, they would need to ask if they had forgotten. "You are welcome." she said as she was thanked for the trap that had protected the group only a few seconds before "You best get that boy under control though or he's going to cause issues." she stated motioning to how Jirou was acting as if he was the one in charge. Just as she mentioned this it seemed as if Zaven had the same train of thought and yet again reprimanded Jirou. [break][break] She watched Zaven, she knew the pain he was feeling, it was a terrible pain for any spirit or partner to feel but it was something that she believed they both needed to feel to understand they were two halves of one whole. True spirits could leave and find new partners but they still mourned the loss of the partner they had left she truly hoped that this would prevent that outcome. Her eyes went to Joseph once more as he spoke "Congratulations, even if your enemy doesn't know your spells they now know you are planning something and can commit to countering." she explained showing that where communication was indeed needed they had to find a way to do it without their enemy knowing what they were up to which would be difficult but not impossible. "Yes, you are overthinking things... you're lucky she's being so sluggish in her own movements or you'd already be in a world of trouble... get out of your head and adapt." she spoke as almost ordering him. [break][break] "You have known you've been watched since before you entered this forest" Luyos sneered at Zaven's comment, even in her current state she didn't believe these three were a threat. Above the group the golden amber intertwined circles appeared while a rumbling in the earth too could be heard as it seemingly began to crack it had been clear that when the group was talking Luyos and her companion had already activated spells. From above hot golden amber rain began to fall everywhere but on the mausoleum, Luyos and her mana beast, the amber rain sticking and solidifying into hardened sap as it touched anything causing third and fourth-degree burns, the group would also find themselves unable to move from the spot as this happened thorned vines would come out of the ground in front of the pair and rush towards them, this would easily break bones and even severe any limb it touched. It was clear that Luyos and her mana beast were perfectly in sync. [break][break] "All that time talking and no defence mounted." Analise sighed whispering something as a marble wall appeared in front of each preventing the vines from striking for a second time. "I will help but I don't intend to keep saving you, you need to get your acts together." she called out to them showing her displeasure. Still the damage had been done to the golems and they had been destroyed, the amber rain continuing to fall. [break][break]
[attr="class","header2"]GM Notes
[break] [break][break] Within the mausoleum the conversation between the mother, Valo, Sol and now Amaya continued. She informed them part of their difficulty was indeed within the white noise but another part was due to the forest constantly shifting due to lilith's influence. She also informed the two elder men that the sleeping floral mage would likely not agree with what they had done given what was on the line, but that was something they would need to sort out between them when they were all of sound mind. She informed them that Ki was their best tool at current and may be in other places of the world that aren't as mana rich. They were told what the obsidian marks done to Elysi and what would happen if it happened. It should make sense now to Sol why the man told them to remain away from the obsidian marks. She also corrected Valo in regards to the information he misremembered and an explanation as to why the doors wouldn't open if the pair were outside but why they will due to them being inside as she helped Amaya settle. They were also informed that the daemoness outside was weakened but for her to take such a risk meant she didn't see the three outside as a threat and she admitted as they were now the daemoness might be correct. She did finish by saying that they could ask any questions and she and her children would do their best to answer them. There is a way for those inside the mausoleum to help those outside with the information they have been given over the last few rounds, but the right questions need to be asked. [break][break] Outside the mausoleum Analise one again more or less whispered into Jirou's ear about how he was behaving, she watched as Jirou created a golem in a flashy way and wasn't impressed before he attempted to speak to Luyos into going away and leaving them alone, the daemoness had no intention of doing so. Analise knew that Zaven would be angry but explained herself for a second time as she apologised, she knew the pair would understand her reasoning and it would help them in the long run. As she stated Zaven needed to get Jirou under control it seemed as if the shadow mage had the same idea as he hit the younger male at the back of his head telling him to follow orders. Zaven then too attempted to speak to the daemoness but she was having none of it. Analise informed the group that she wasn't on their side but she wasn't on the daemon's side either and that she was only helping them as it mutually benefited her goals and that their alliance would end the moment that stopped being the case. She then had a quick conversation with Joseph where she informed him that his reasons for wanting his sensory back wasn't to defend anyone but protect himself and that dangers could come out of nowhere. She continued stating that he should likely remain in an empty room if he didn't want to deal with the dangers of living and look for a new career if he didn't want the dangers that came with his current job, she finished by saying his mind wasn't perfectly working, it was constantly afraid and because of this fact it was ridgid and couldn't adapt. She finished by saying he needed to get out of his head and enjoy life as he didn't know when he'd breath his last breath and he didn't want to leave this world with regrets. After this the woman climbed the mausoleum and watched the events unfold as Joseph had already called a golem. Still Luyos and her companion had set a grand spell each in effect, Analise protected against the group from the mana beasts spell but the group was still stuck for one round and was taking grand damage from the daemonesses spell. [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 heard the woman's words and smirked. "Of course she would think we made the wrong decision, and I would be surprised if you didn't agree with her. But we don't think the same, and I'm okay with that. I said I would not leave her side and I meant it." Valo said with a smile. "Plus I trust the team out there to pull through." he added on. "We're going to succeed our mission, that I can assure you."
"Ive never been much of a sensor, but iv'e trained in Ki I just haven't mastered it yet. But I'm pretty good at it." Valo said as the woman was talking about how ki would serve better right now rather than traditional sensory.
Valo took a moment to step back, realizing he was giving the information out incorrectly. Nevertheless they couldn't leave right now, and Valo was itching for a fight. He was the one that was most suited for combat probably out of the whole team, and when an enemy finally shows itself he was essentially stuck inside. "I don't regret our decision. But I should be out there fighting with them. It's the whole reason why I'm here. And I've been itching to fight since I got here!" Valo said out loud crossing his arms. He believed there was no enemy that could stand against him even in his child like body, and his mind wasn't going to change unless someone could actually do it.
"Wait Daemons can't get within 20 feet of the mausoleum right? Would it protect them from it's spells too?" Valo asked the woman remembering what she said earlier on when they arrived. "If we tell Hraban to deliver this message to Zaven. That if they get closer to the mausoleum, they could be a little more safe. Since Daemons can't get within 20 feet to it?" he asked another question.
Depending on the answer he got he would walk over to the shadow spirit Hraban. "Hraban deliver this message to Zaven. No Daemon can get within 20 feet of the mausoleum. Tell him to come closer to the mausoleum, he won't be able to enter but they should be able to get close." Valo spoke to Hraban. "Hopefully that helps them out."
If the woman stated that this would not work, he would not tell them this plan.

[attr="class","jirouimage"]"Dragons do not heed the word of Worms."
The question she spoke into his ear like a lover in his bed struck deep.because partially… yes it was. And though he didn’t recognize it himself he felt an anger grow in him at her words. Yet had she spoken to him? Surely she ahd to, hed not imagine her voice in his head. Yet he didn’t sense any spell upon himself. Despite this he kept his eyes upon his enemy. He knew well enough that thy werent going to accept peace. But it was illbred and lacking in nobility to at least not humor the creature and its freakish hound. Jirous body was vibrating. Even as a child he was in love with battle, but this….. this was more then just a childhood need to get the blood flowing. Hed seen the attacks. The daemoness-freak and her hound used some form of nature magic it seemed from what he had seen of the vines being blocked. Yet before he could attack, Zaven slapped him on the back of his head. HOW DARE HE.he turned to yell at the man only to be met with the realization that this man was acting as a leader, yet jirou bit his tongue and stowed his anger.
Yet her words about his sister… they wrung so loudly in his head it drowned out the anger he had just felt. He turned and it was clear from his face he was caught with his pants down like a child. He was red with emberrasement and anger. Yet he didn’t lash out. He didn’t even respond to Zaven besides a small “Understood sir.” yet his emberresment wasn’t at what zaven ahd done, or even being slapped. It was purely due to her words… his baby sister was….she was…..she wasn’t better then him! How dare this woman! The childish part of his mind was screaming crying and thrashing in its mental palace. How DARE this woman, this stranger, speak to him like this! HOW DARE SH--. that’s when the spell hit his golems and then himself. He felt the impact of the sap against his Golems and the severing of their connection as the spell broke.
The sap that rained down upon him burned. It burned unlike anything hed ever expeirenced in his life. He felt the sticky liquid drop onto his arms and shoulders and head and neck. He felt it hit his legs and burn through his pants down to the skin before it hardened and left him in severe pain. He could feel the burns deep in his muscles now, and it was only thanks to covering his head he knew he had kept his brain safe. He tried to move, to break free, but he could barely get it to move as it was hardening. He couldn’t help but to scream out in pain from the damage. What a strong spell to start off with! His inner child self was raging. Screaming and in pain. But another voice soon calmed his nerves. He spoke:
.“Stop this childish behaviour.” the face of the figure in his mind was obscured, but his voice was Jirous. The blinding painful white rage faded into a scene befiting the calmness of a prince. “You focus on the fact that we were a Conquerer, yet you act like a child. Unbeffitting of your status prince of Dragons…. Calm yourself, and listen.” he was…shocked. But in that second he would finally break back through the pain and rage and force his hands to move to his face as he ripped enough away from his sap covered face, letting him see. His eyes were locked onto the enemy and they burned with an anger and hatred he couldn’t hold. Yet he didn’t scream. He didn’t rage or lose his cool. He couldn’t help but feel hatred for this lowly creature that would DARE harm him. Hed try to cast a spell, but he realized it would only indanger his sister if he did. He screamed in silent pain. He hadnt felt anything like this before. it was both intoxicating and fully unwanted.
[attr="class","zavenreescroll"] Before his movement that was made up to Jirou could happen he was given words in regard to what just happened with Amya and Hraban by Analise. It stung him horribly as the moments that they were performing before with how each and everyone outside the mausoleum. At least the ones that were just too much into the issues that were going on rather than to put thought forward in this situation. Zaven was now at the point where he was breathing hard as Analise spoke to him and gave her words as to why she did what she did, and he wanted to just attack her regardless for this. However, he did not because he understood rather quickly and could hear the messages just as she informed him about what he had said before about Hraban. He was going to speak back just as she did with her speaking with Jirou and Joseph. The rather quick and not held back movement of her words was greatly supported because of her knowledge and watching and hearing about what happened. [break][break]
That was when the feelings with Hraban started as Zaven tried to speak mentally, yet it was rather emotional as everything that was said and or thought up was not how he was before. The leader of the Golden Dawn was still strong with his way of leading even as he was not showing it now and again, as if he was just confused. The way to go through it all was broad and not further approached at the current time. Yet now the biggest problem besides the movement happened as a daemon approached, finally there was movement as Zaven moved as he heard what Jirou was saying that he could ultimately. In turn Joseph was ready to go as he summoned his golem. In which Zaven spoke in a sign language behind him rather quickly, and even though he did not look back, he looked patient now “Joseph I trust you and know that this can be brought to a better event as long as we watch…” Zaven was ready to sign even more except moves were now made. One was the feeling that happened where he felt the strum of the mental string that connected him and Hraban. Yet there was more as the danger filled his mind even after his first calling out. [break][break]
Everything was just not amusing even after Analise had done her own speaking, telling them all what she needed to tell. At the rather end of it all it was the fact that they needed to step the hell up and stop not at all a damn team. The following attack and trap went off and gave them the answer as to how it was proceeding. It was then that the daemon spoke in a single sentence of an answer, which was rather a hard hit as it proved they were watched ”You have known you've been watched since before you entered this forest" Zaven was rather just about to smirk, or rather laugh at that sudden single momentaneous answer given to him. ”I cannot actually believe this.” He said as this felt that the actual talk to this was the last thing that needed to be said to them as if they did not have any of such unknowing knowledge. At that same point Hraban spoke to him with a feeling that was like he saw even as a spirit that this seemed rather comical, but also in a way that it actually made Zaven feel like he was in a situation that for once was easy to beat. Then Hraban got through to Zaven the moment there was a quick move, Hraban did not want this to end. Then Zaven felt that he needed to move because death was now quickly not how he wanted this to end if it came to a point if the team needed such a thing. In other words it felt just like a lower yet surprised speech was a message to Zaven in how to help them in how to get an issue resolved. [break][break]
Zaven was about to repeat what was said quickly as the damn mana beast attack happened. It was not a feeling, but a way to show them that they were nothing. As this was done Analise gave the attacking beast a new defensive approach that they had no wisdom of. Analise then gave them some words that could make them all possibly feel like they could not be doing the best here. ”Well Honestly Ana if you don’t mind that nickname. Our Actions that are still being made are rather, well I do not have a rather good answer. Now thank you, and since you seem to know quite a bit more about daemons than I do. Tell me how we can end this and move on, if you can do that. He paused for a moment as the movements were starting to affect him as well. ”Well then I will owe you..” Hraban heard the voice of Zaven’s as he saw the trap prevented even more graphic damage as another spell was cast against them. [break][break]
Zaven then spoke mentally to Hraban mentally as he did not yet know if this was wasted. ”We are not giving up even though there would, and probably be foul words said. Now you can please tell me what Valo says so that way we can get to moving well. I cannot move us back currently to the area that is safer of course. This feels really shitty out here so please help us to make this end quickly, please. Ultimately we are being shown as kids even with all these damn arguments and movements..” He ended the thought conference as he gave some word now to where the others could hear him once more ”We moved to damn far to fucking simply fight this bitch. He then felt through his damn wounded body before putting his hands back and signing that they needed heels to Joseph, hoping he was watching so that as soon as it was done, they could move and counter with their own spells, however he signed lastly to focus on Jirou first. As he waited for Analise to answer him, because it was looking bad at the moment.

Sol listened as he heard the mother state that to Hinota they likely would have made the wrong choice and the albino knew it was a possibility especially when they mentioned that one life wasn't worth the many the relied on them and Sol was clearly deep in thought on that though now they couldn't do anything to change their choices since they had already made it and those doors had already shut, he listened as the mother went on to explain that if they wanted the white noise gone then they needed to go after the item but gave other ways of dealing with it as well such as a sufficiently high Ki level or someone partners with a spirit could have them lead the way as they were not encumbered by the white noise. The world tree user had to admit that it was handy to have other options in case they didn't go for the relic in question but he hoped that they would deal with the item since by doing that it made it easier for all of them in general but the final decision was Zavens.
She then shook her head at his words explaining that the white noise relic was only part of the reason they were struggling and mentioned that it was likely that the forest was ever changing due to Liliths influence and mentioned it was what Elysi had come to believe, at that Sol nodded since it made the most sense, if a archdaemon was lurking in this forest then why wouldn't she exert her influence over it to make it a personal haven and keep intruders out.”I think he is right about that even after even what we have been thru so far this forest is already against us it would make sense that Lilith is likely stacking the odds against us further.” he said before hearing her mention that he would need to ask how it got her and how it was activated and she went on to explain that there were many being in this forest that were not daemonic.”thats true its the witches forest so it could be likely that one of the witches perhaps brought it in and either thru curiosity or perhaps Daemon machinations turned the item on” he theorized but knew that there might have been more to it then just that.
As the Mother explained that people adapt when a sense is removed given the example of many that are sensory inept often rely on Ki and to Sol it made sense as he had heard of people that lost one sense had often sharpened the others to compensate and even magic sensory was no different, it made the Delothosin consider learning Ki if he manage to get out of this forest so that way he had something to fall back on. On the subject of Elysi being completely there if he was helping them Sol nodded and while she mentioned he likely would be far more grump due to his situation she also explained that the obsidian that they had seen before hurt him but prevented him from crossing the barrier and enraged him which now made sense why they had been told to avoid them like the plague,”he warned us about those thankfully we found an Amethyst marker and we avoided a fight after remaining still a while” he explained.
As Amaya had mentioned that spirits could communicate with their partner but the mother was quick to point out that it wasnt like a communication spell as Sol wanted to sigh and shake his head at his friends reaction, the mother explained that giving Hraban bad information was not going to help and that while explaining the situation with the door also explained that if the Daemon was here then they didnt see the three outside as a threat even though the jade weakened them."is it just the daemons that are weekend by the jade or are their spells effected too" he would ask the mother as Valo mentioned that Daemons couldn't get within twenty feet of the mausoleum Sol approached as well.” Valo its not just that they can't approach if they are Visible outside already then they are well within twenty feet but remember it weakens then” he said before he looked at Hraban.”please Tell Zaven that the closer those daemons get to the mausoleum the weaker they will become,so use that to your advantage” he advised as he spoke to the spirit, he hoped that would help them since like he had mentioned if they were that close already then they were confident that they could take them out even weakened but that could be used to the teams advantage as well if they could rally and work together.

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.

Post by Joseph Ravencrest✾ on Oct 22, 2024 22:36:13 GMT -5
“There's more than one way to protect, just as there's more than one way to attack. Sensory served me well until entering this forest. I shouldn't have relied on it so heavily, but it's still typically useful for protecting others in one way or another. Relying on any one thing too much is an awful idea.” Joseph wasn't above admitting his mistakes, but he wouldn't lie and say one couldn't not use sensory as a form of protection. Of course the man had relied on it far too much, on just about every mission. To say this had been a bad idea would be quite the understatement. The sap rain spell was painful and burned, but it didn't stop Joseph from moving. Their pale corpse like eyes looked towards Jirou and Zaven. ~What the fuck Zaven?! ATTACK! Do you expect me to use all my magic on healing and attacking? We're the only two magic knights here that have experience with deamons or pain! You should already know to stop verbally attacking the person helping us and attack the golem the deamon sent out! Maybe ask the friendly person helping us some questions about the enemy WHILE attacking! If you wont get that stick out of your ass and attack, than I will.~
His hands moved vigorously and aggressively, the movements giving quite a loud and upset tone to their words for those who could understand sign language. The red head had learned sign language before verbal communication, Zaven knew that, so signing words at the Ravencrest made sense. Not attacking the enemy while telling him to heal everyone? The young man in a childs form felt frustrated and upset. “I'm sorry to bother you Analise after we have asked much of you already, but can you tell me if there are other properties to this deamons magic, or spell? Or about the golem? Also, could you please heal the group?” Now it was time to try to get Jirou to attack. Why that person wasn't was very clear from the screaming. Anyone with half a brain could tell that person wasn't handling the pain of the sap rain well in the slightest. “Communicating in a different way, right?” The womans words and what Zaven had done made them think. There was no shock in why Jirou wasn't attacking, but it didn't change the need for multiple people to attack. He reached one arm out to the person in front of him, grabbing and tugging at one of the shoulders covered in hot sticky sap that had been hardening.
The touch was there briefly, to move their upper half to face Joseph. ~Are you deciding the deamon is better than you? That the commoner raised prince behind you is better than you? Don't think I never noticed your thoughts on me far before you entered this forest. If you want to prove some of your preening isn't entirely useless show, than attack her golem that can get closer to us than she can! When it's gone we can attack her next. Do you want to die and make your family despair?~ The pale pink eyed person wasn't a tactician, but it didn't take much planning to realize one can get closer than the other. With how intent they were in killing the group, it was pretty obvious they were the type to charge forward when they could. The golem had charged forward but the deamon had not. There was likely a smarter way to go about this, as they could more than likely just summon another golem. Dealing with issues one at a time was still better than just talking, or screaming in pain. “I hate pain.” The person quietly muttered to himself before starting to move. The ideal golem to attack with would be mother goose, but that would require leg movement.
This left him with carnation or note, so carnation was up again. The peachy pale skinned person hugged their own upper torso before holding out their right hand. The spell activated, carnation quickly forming from carbon matter. It made a strong leap into the sky, unfurling its wings and taking flight above the trees. Carnation than dove down towards the deamons golem, attacking with the tails stinger first. If it could get close enough, it would use its teeth and claws as well. ~You're both basically leaving all the attacking to the scout at this point. What the hell?~ He was going to run out of mana quickly at this rate. If he died, he would definitely blame Zaven and Jirou! But also himself for being too obedient. The ex azure deer had already long since learned that people with higher ranks can make mistakes, big mistakes. A big one had already been made, considering that his last golem was gone without even having done any damage. Every spell costs a lot now, so he couldn't even heal while summoning another golem without basically running out of mana after. He was not supposed to do all the attacking for the entire group, right? He was sent to the forest as a scout. He was only still there to help the attack group, but it wasn't his original mission.
~I ask why he thinks talking will work in any way, I get ignored. Why should I listen to orders from a captain who doesn't even understand the right person to get upset at. Aren't you the only one out of the three of us that was specifically sent to kill deamons? You aren't ashamed of doing no attacking in any way at all? Of ignoring Jirous pain, or my words? Captains listen and attack the enemy when they need to! We need to attack. How many times do I need to say we need to attack?!~ What was even going on? Did they forget to take their brains with them on this trip? Would he need to stop attacking soon and use healing magic? It felt like Zaven was more likely to get him killed than the deamon was. ~I expect some basic thinking from an experienced leader.~ It wasn't supposed to be this way. This wasn't the same person that had saved him and brought him into the golden dawn. That version of him could think well and attacked enemies without question when charged with an attack. The red head had no idea what caused the change, but it was not considered a welcome one.

Name of Spell: Carnation Spell Element: Carbon Matter Spell Rank: Grand Mana Cost: 50 | 25 Type of Golem: Balanced Applicable Perks: repair shop, puppet master Description: The caster hugs their own upper torso before holding out their right hand to activate the spell. Bits of carbon matter start to form, coming together to shape the spell. The face looks vaguely shaped like a human mannicans, the only feature not looking empty being round eyes made of carbon cubic diamond. The majority of the body is shaped like a carved figure of a lion, having visible joints for movement akin to a doll. The paws have retractable claws made of carbon cubic diamond. They have a dark grey coal body, black mane, a black scorpion tail, and grey dragon wings. The visible joints in the carved looking tail resemble something akin to a snake toy with a multitude of short rounded joints and puffed out parts between the joints, the carved stinger like shape being at the end. The wings look jointed and carved like the rest of the body. While it could never be mistaken for looking remotely like a living manticore, it can still move and function as a proper golem of its rank. It's 12 meters long, 10 meters tall as a whole, but four meters tall if one doesn't count the wings or tail. It's two meters wide if the wings aren't taken into account. If they are taken into account, then it can be 10 meters wide. It can deal grand rank damage when an attack hits its target. It has a maximum of 5 passengers, still moving at 24m/s while carrying passengers. Per the ammo rule, for an additional 75 control the caster can summon another golem. The amount that can be summoned is capped at 2 at a time. If the golem is damaged then it will recover senior rank damage the next round.
[attr="class","zavenreescroll"] After his initial actions and words were said along with how he just, well he only performed hand signs that went to Joseph he was absolutely feeling as if the shadows were just overcoming his mind. He breathed heavily the moment Analise was asked and spoken to and wished to move into what was said, but he knew it was because of how things went. Zaven was hearing how it was going as he was absolutely wasting the time of the team in how he was acting once again. The attacks that were made against them, the burning of the sap, the aches that felt more than just an attack with the similar plant based attacks as well. ” I am tired of this, Joseph and Jirou. This will end as I can do what I must.” he said as his mind was pushed suddenly into a limit now as it all just came to cause a final gate bursting forth as it should have rather than how he had been acting for a short amount of time. [break][break]
”I get that my damn mentality is off course in these random fucking conditions.” His thought was rather heavy as Hraban would likely have noticed this. Yet the spirit said nothing was replied to Zaven, but the spirit looked at all of what was happening with what the spirit remembered. He was seeing and felt those memories quickly shown inside of the partner’s mind. Zaven was done with how this advanced, and the way he was now. The damn life he dedicated to did not lead him to this acting, but he just tried rather new things to be…better. The shadows moved around all the shadow golems that were about to be properly summoned now, which looked to be his Archmage, his two grands, along with the copies of those two. This put him in a rather dangerous position that he was ready for. [break][break]
He was done with how much he did not operate how he always had done in his life. He was done with how much he did not just push with his power like he did at the first stop. Finally he was done with how much he did not just release his aggression. So he begun his movement
”Fine then, I am done with this. With my damn approaches since the magical changing incident. Also with this rampant act, and this atrocious approach on us.” He said as his grimoire began glowing as it all began to come forth. He needed this to know he was done with his damn acting. Remembering when he fought deamons for more, then a few pieces of other fights with humans and the magic of others. Quickly he felt his mana begin to drop as the pain still just gave him a wince and the wounds that were not only hitting his clothes, but made his skin bleed. He saw how Analiese was and gave more thought about the next movements. A hard breath was taken as he activated all that he actually could. [break][break]
Starting off he summoned his Archmage golem as with this he was entering the true Shadow of Dawn mindset, it was real now he would show that was not all. The simple look that he gave a moment later he gave a message to Joseph first so that it could be done as he was told. ”Get ready for the next moment as I am tired of the three of us taking this damage.” He said it as a simple order because of how he was about to project himself to finish this damn attack towards them, yet in a way he was also going to remove them from this grinding damage to ensure they could heal and be ready. [break][break]
Hraban would hear him then as he threw a simple message. ”Hraban This is what you now know, if they can help then it will be done faster, and Hinota will be saved. I will take care of the initial attack, this will be done as I truly know and how I have been seen. I will need assistance if I cannot end in one move” Was what he said to the spirit mentally, things continued to move quickly. As the pain continued He turned his head as best as he could the others will get moved and be safe. ”EREBUS, PRIMORDIAL GOD OF SHADOW!” He said as The shadows among the area moved and his feelings and pain gathered even more for finality. Five meters in front of him, but not near the Mausoleum or a tree. It was open land seen as the summon formed, his strongest nearly spiritable that Zaven ordered while his mana felt like it was being bitten by magnificently true golem even more. He was looking to finally see this done and wanted to be rid of the daemonness that took its push, along with the beast-like target. A solid face was shown now as Erebus targeted the deamoness and not the wolf as it moved. [break][break]
Then he coughed roughly, as another quick memory of his first actual training with Hinota was a hard entry that led to the scar on his chest, at the moment it was a minor but still strong remembrance. ”Achilles take the other two beside and behind me to the Mausoleum before turning to attack the wolf like mana beast before me.” As the shadows gathered at his right before him.The two Grand Level same Golems made the moves to follow their master’s orders. The second spill of mana was to summon the Grand level Golem. Typhone come forth so we may end this. Typhon the dragon, as well as the replicate came forth as his mana was pumped once more as Achilies followed the orders mentally given, while one formed under him while the other one was in front looking like a small Golem army with the largest one took to it’s initial attack to the deamoness. As they were now here, his orders were given. [break][break]
”Typhon under me we shall charge to the clouds above me, second Typhon in front of me, target the wolf and strike it with the Achilies until it is destroyed. Evade the trees to attack the strongest you can.” The first Typhon took off with him as the second one moved to ensure the attack on the wolf would happen, while Zaven and the first Typhon would deal with the cloud. it was Sudden movement it was taken secons after the order as Zaven rose with the dragon and was covered by the arms of the golem as best that he could be. Zaven held the shadow and went up hard and fast to dispose of the attack against them so they could make a bigger move. [break][break]
His gim followed before him on the way up. As they quickly were about to take the cloud the next attack came forward. ”Shadow of Armement!” When they moved up together and reached it Zaven and Typhon would strike forth in a Shadowed attack that was meant to truly destroy the damn burning clouds. As this was done with the attack delivering a brutal destructional physical attack, they would move to join both the golems of Achilles and the second Typhon as they moved along a large movement avoiding trees, and there were any buildings they could avoid with their speed. [break][break]
Their target was the mana beast that was apart of the deamoness and her attack. Once there they would all swing and swipe to fully attack to destroy the damn mana beast wolf. Erebus moved quickly to deliver its rage as it was not going to target with the others the deamoness’s mana beast. As this would go through Erebus would swing its great hand before pushing shadows forth to strike even more. This caused Haraban to feel this and knew that this was a great move to take the threats away and to bring the others to follow through if they could. [break][break]
That was all that Zaven finished his moment with instead of just turning his face to Joseph or Jirou at that moment. They would see how he tried what he could, to stop this and his look was not of someone that was done. No, they could all join in as best as they could if his movements did not work. ”We will end this right now!” That was all he could say in general, no more would he accept his rather insignificant push against this.

The shadow mage finally comes to their greatest hurdle in life and as such when they reach out for more power...they find something reaching back out for them. As such the mana gives birth to a being made purely of the element of the user, their will and the will of the ever flowing mana combine bringing forth a golem that yearns to protect its master and with a will of its own it won't fail, it won't stop, until it gets what it is after. [break][break] It attacks by sweeping through an area using its absolute force to rip and tear, gran and crush, or plain destroy any that stand in its path. It primarily uses its limbs to attack, but will resort to spells if it has to. [break][break] Erebus looks like the very thought of death, a cloak wrapped form holding an exact copy of the user's Grimoire in its slender left hand and a bow in its right. It’s face is never seen from under the hood but two glowing eyes and a shining set of teeth Mark where it’s head should be located. Always watching, always...smiling...ready to accept its next victim. [break][break] Type | Power | Dura. | Sensory | Range | Speed | Health Predator | 220 |110 | 190 | 180 | 45 m/s | Arch. + Jr.

Now a being of shadows, belonging to the darkness that permeates all life. Achilles shadow is the perfect scout for an imperfect world and the shadow always obeys the will of its master whether good or bad. Its combat prowess is fierce, but so is Its ability to get around a battlefield with relative ease. It even looks like a fierce hero of old. [break][break]

The gauntlets resemble large stonework that constantly moves and gives off wisps of shadow mana as it bleeds back into the natural world. Even if the gauntlets break the strength buff remains so Zaven can continue to fight with full strength with his bare hands.
She noticed the smirk and sighed shaking her head almost as if she had seen that look before "Would you blame her though Valoriss? You were sent here to protect a kingdom with hundreds of thousands of people, yet you chose her one life over them all." she would ask, she wasn't accusing him of anything as she knew the pain of loss and that the heart would act strangely for their loved ones. "I am sure she will appreciate the show of love nonetheless." she said quietly before looking at the door as Valo spoke unlike outside of the mausoleum sensory remained unaffected by the white noise inside. The mother smiled hearing Valo's words about having trained in Ki "It will serve you well in this forest as even after the relic is deactivated Lilith still controls the forest and who knows what she or one of her children may pull." [break][break] Her tone was calm as she spoke before moving into her sleeve and holding out a simple green glass with a milky white liquid to him "Please drink this, I believe it will help you even past this forest." she said softly "And before you decline the aid, you have been quite helpful." she looked at her hiding daughters "You helped them understand a little more and that means more to me than the world." she said her voice was tender, it was clear she was a woman who loved her family even under these bizarre conditions. She could tell he was a brawler and though he didn't regret remaining inside the mausoleum he wanted to be outside with the others, just by how he was acting "You must feel like you're grounded again like an actual child." she chuckled lightly her eyes going back to the door. [break][break] "Only a few daemons would dare to get this close and it's only if they believe they had the upper hand." her tone becoming more serious "Well, they can. They just get increasingly weaker the closer they are to my home." she corrected him "I... I don't know... possibly if they were on the roof but it all depends on who they are currently facing." she finished with a sigh "All daemonic magic acts strangely." she informed the pair "For example Elysi's daemonic quirk can alter a person right down to their primordial mana." she said seemingly concerned as she turned her eyes to Amaya who she now heard breathing lightly showing she had fallen asleep. "Which means any kind of physical contact will be dangerous for the person doing it." she said her tone showing this warning was primarily for Valo as he had said he was itching for a fight. [break][break] "Due to Elysi's heritage, it seems as if he has two forms the man and the wraith... which means he may have two forms regarding the daemonic phase known as consumption." It was clear that the latter was an educated guess "If this is the case depending on how you progress it may decide just which side of consumption you may end up fighting and what capabilities it will have. I beseech you to progress slowly and carefully as you don't know what may alter him." she truly hoped this wasn't the case but he too wasn't under normal circumstances of being able to obtain his family's help so wanted to prepare them as much as she could. Hearing what Valo said her eyes went wide and she shook her head her eyes going to the spirit "Please, don't send that message to your partner." she begged with urgency. [break][break] "Like I said every daemon has a unique quality to them and without knowing the one outside you could be putting everyone in here in danger." she said her voice showing fear. "One of the daemonesses can go through any shield as if it was nothing but wet paper." she informed him "Your betrothed is linked to the mausoleum at current it means her body will take any damage the mausoleum sustains to protect itself." she informed the pair "Did you not notice the white flash a little before she entered?" she asked the pair, it was clear that the group getting too close to the mausoleum could protect them if the daemoness got closer but would also possibly put the sleeping floral mage in danger if they had pulled the short straw. "You best hope it isn't Luyos." she said showing which daemon had this capability. [break][break] "The only good thing about this woman is she is a fighter and so if rules are agreed upon with that mindset she will keep to them but she may give a counter." she let them know "For example, children are innocent so don't harm them and she may counter I won't directly target them but if they end up in the way that's not on me. She luckily has a good bond with the eldest son and he taught her some kind of warrior code which she keeps to." giving a little information "Zaeaer is an odd man himself..." she said thoughtfully "I only encountered him a few times before I entered this mausoleum... I had just given birth to my daughters and I thought he was going to kill me." she whispered "Instead he stayed by my side and protected me and the children until the mausoleum was given." she continued. [break][break] "Eventually carrying me with them around the outside of the mausoleum, it was clear he was hurting from being close but he didn't complain. Every night while we could exit he was there protecting us, I asked why but he refused to answer just asking me to accept his aid while he could offer it." she said clearly confused by his actions "He almost killed himself getting me inside as his twin arrived. Since that night we've never left as he said it would be far too dangerous." she sighed shaking her head "The girls know about the man who protected them and their mommy..." she paused and looked at the two men "They don't know Zaeaer is a daemon and I don't want them to think of him as a bad man as without his aid, we may not have survived to help you now." she whispered so her children couldn't hear. [break][break] It was obvious that she didn't want the two men to say anything bad about him as a person or even mention his race. Sol broke the silence finally "It's not that she's stacking the odds against you I don't think, more its part defensive measure and part for her amusement." she said happy for the conversation to change. She shook her head as they went on to talk about the relic once more "Daemons can hold the relic they just can't turn it on." she corrected his assumption, though to her it was a logical leap of faith. "I am sure many of the older daemons and daemonesses within this forest have servants who tend to their whims so that is plausible." she commented. "I'm glad Elysi is still very much himself but I don't know how long that will be the case." she said her eyes once again going to the door. [break][break] "Anything with a nature-based element is strengthened, a daemon at twenty feet away would lose that boon and they and their magic would weaken the closer they get to the mausoleum but as I told Valoriss that is a very dangerous game to play depending on the enemy outside." she said with a sigh "I mention Luyos before, she walks around with a mana beast who has no daemonic tie to it so it would gain al the strength no weaknesses and like a good team they cover the weakness of the other so I truly hope that isn't the one outside." she reiterated. "muma..." the eldest spoke holding a hand up showing a very basic map made out of gemstone, a shadow falling from the bottom. The woman walked over to take a look "This... this isn't good." she whispered taking in the information [break][break] "One of your friends is barely holding on to the last strands of life, another is very badly hurt and your leader is nowhere to be seen." she informed the pair. "Two people are fighting though." she commented "I can't open the door but... Edon open a spatial portal to here." she pointed on the map so the youngest could see and nodded bringing up her hand and creating a black portal "So longs one of the girl's want to leave after the threat is gone the door will reopen, however, only you both will be allowed to enter once more." she informed them allowing them to leave as they wished. As soon as they exited the spatial portal it would fade for the protection of those inside. [break][break]
~~ Outside the mausoleum~~
[break][break] Analise could see she was easily living rent-free in Jirou's head. The only question she was asking was whether he would be able to keep his mask in place or if it would crack and eventually shatter, showing those around him the would-be monster beneath the fragile facade he put on. She remained atop the mausoleum untouched by the daemoness's attack, watching how things continued to unfold. It was clear by how Jirou was screaming out in agony he wasn't ready for a trial such as this 'What were you thinking little hatchling, you are clearly out of your depth.' she whispered, as before only Jirou would hear this almost as if she was behind him whispering as if she was a lover. Her eyes went to Joseph noticing he was quite injured himself. 'What on earth is this kingdom thinking?' she thought. She estimated if another hit touched either man they would be dead. [break][break] It was quite clear that half this group shouldn't have been anywhere near this forest, out of the three royal daemon's Lilith was by far the most dangerous, she was the one that revelled in what she was. 'They really aren't ready for this... he'll never find peace at this rate' she thought to herself before she stopped the mana beast's attack. She had prevented the three men from taking an archmage worth of damage but she hadn't protected the golems and so they had all been destroyed between the Luyos and the mana beasts attacks. Once Jirou had realized what was said about his sister, it was clear that he had dropped his guard making the woman sigh face palming unable to believe he couldn't stay focused. It was clear that this child was so used to having every victory handed to him that he was ill-prepared for a true fight. [break][break] Analise had noticed that Jirou's movements had changed and it made her quirk an eyebrow but to her, it was far too little and far too late, they should have had spells active the moment she stated that there was a threat and had them attacking the moment Luyos showed herself. Luyos was playing a dangerous game as she was weakened being this close to the mausoleum but even so she was still holding strong as if she had the advantage and with the three stooges acting like bumbling idiots she may indeed succeed in killing them even with her disadvantage. "You are a fool." she called out watching as Jirou pulled the hardened sapped from his body wincing as he tore some of his skin off. "It's clear you didn't get the brains of your family" she sighed "Take out the source and the sap fades." she commented. [break][break] It was clear he would continue to do himself harm if he picked at the hardened sap. "Also you dullard your magic is heat-based you could just have made the sap a liquid again." he might not be strong enough to counter the sap itself but it would allow him his movement back. Now her eyes turned to the would-be leader of the group, he was not thinking straight, and his priorities were completely wrong. She could feel his malicious intent towards her, she had explained twice why she took the actions she did and had even apologised for overstepping and yet Zaven was more interested in attacking her than the actual danger that threatened to kill two men severely injured in his command. 'The poison starts at the head and goes downstream.' she sorrowfully thought to herself, she was in pure disbelief. [break][break] "Zaven... the would-be shadow of dawn..." she said her voice colder than it ever had been it was clear that she was done playing games "Your title should be the shadow of death..." she was serious as she spoke those words "Because the only thing you are any good at, at current is long winded motivational speeches and leading those in your command to their deaths." she wasn't mincing her words. "Also, my name isn't 'Ana' it is Analise..." she said stopping him in his tracks showing she didn't want to be belittled in such a way. She listened as he tried to spout off more reasons they hadn't acted before "No, your actions shouldn't have "still being made" they should have been made the moment I informed you of the threat and an attack happening the moment she turned up" she said her voice as hard as the ground he stood on. [break][break] "You are on the back footing, nothing I say will change that and as I said before I'm not going to waste my time giving information to people who pay little mind." she said it was clear nothing he would say would get her to change her mind. "You have all shown yourselves as incompetent out here." she shook her head "I mean you are more interested in attacking me Zaven, I can feel the intent." she said allowing the other two to hear where their leader's priority was and it wasn't on Luyos or her mana beast. It was then he addressed Luyos "Such vulgarity, even as enemies I wouldn't talk to you in such a way." she said her tone showing distaste. "But what do I expect from a mutt such as yourself, who is even unfit to kiss my sweet myth's paws." she said petting the mana beast lovingly. [break][break] It was clear Luyos didn't see the three in front of her as a threat, even the one who was attempting to guide them was more or less being ignored. It warmed her dark heart to see fools flounder so. Analise looked at Joseph as he spoke "I didn't say that there wasn't, I'm just saying it isn't generally a defensive specialization, it is a utility." she said her tone once again calm "You have become too complacent on it forgetting there's only so much information a map can give and people can hide their true intentions until it's too late from even the most detailed map." she said speaking to him as if he was a naive child in need of guidance. "Perhaps this is true, but, in a world of magic it is hard not to do such a thing." she said thoughtfully "Then again there are places where mana is very thin or even nonexistent." she said to him. [break][break] She was keeping a close eye on Luyos as she and Zaven swapped words giving the other two a brief reprieve. It was then the usually reserved peach-haired male decided to let out his own frustration on Zaven. This surprised the woman and though Luyos didn't understand what was happening she could feel the frustration and anger as the group turned upon itself, it was something wonderful to witness in her eyes. Analise looked to Joseph as he made a request of her "Very well." she said quietly joseph would hear the words alone as a whisper into his ear. She brought her hands behind her whispering something under her breath as dust kicked up underneath Joseph and Jirou's feet, they would feel the burns soothe and the damage heal completely as the burns faded. In addition, they would find when they could move they'd be faster and even hit for more physically. [break][break] Hearing the question she nodded "Luyos's magic can break through any defence as if it wasn't there, it means if she aims for the mausoleum it will take damage and harm anyone connected to it." she whispered this time both Jirou and Joseph heard her whispered words as if she was leaning in and whispering directly in their ears from behind. It was clear she had given up on Zaven. "Joseph, Myth isn't a golem... he's a mana beast." she corrected him through the whisper. "To be fair to the pampered prince, the spell is an attack restraining spell, he can't move right now even if he wanted to." she informed the group of the spell that was currently in use by Luyos. Luyos watched what happened and smiled as the golem rushed towards her beloved pet. [break][break] As the wasp-like golem flew towards her pet she did nothing to protect it as it grabbed its stinger in its mouth, but it bit down taking damage itself but also doing grand damage to the golem. Luyos placed her hand on her mana beast's head "Radient life" she said a thorned ring on her hand glowing creating one on the wolf's left paw, sap moving up and over its body healing it. It was clear these two complimented the other's weakness and so needed to be removed at the same time. "Mother, I'm growing bored of these flys..." she said crossing her arms almost as if she was a teenager about to go into a tantrum "You promised me a good fight." she said watching as Zaven started to set up an attack. but before he could do more than break the seal in the air he landed inside some sort of portal the shadows dissipating before they got close to Myth or herself. [break][break] Her eyes moved to the two remaining men before turning to Analise who had finally jamp down "I'll hold her off for as long as I can, you can aid me or you can run. I wouldn't hold the latter against you." she said her eyes quickly flicking back towards the mausoleum. "Luyos, the mausoleum is off limits... your kind have already hurt the ones inside." she had chosen her words very carefully "I give my word I won't go out of my way to attack it directly but if accidents happen that's on the ones defending it." she said agreeing to her request with the stipulation of 'accidents aren't on me'. "Where is their would-be leader?" she enquired "Mother likely moved him somewhere else in the forest if you're lucky you might not see him again but who knows. Ready?" she asked Analise nodding and dashing forward quickly moving into hand-to-hand combat with Luyos and distracting Myth when needed. [break][break]
[attr="class","header2"]GM Notes
[break] [break][break] Outside of the mausoleum things are currently looking grim, Analise was becoming increasingly frustrated by the group of three men and it seemed that she wasn't the only one. The one she called out openly was Zaven who had seriously dropped the ball, he was meant to be the leader... the glue that held everything together and his priorities weren't right. He had asked for information and out of annoyance the woman had refused to give aid, however, agreed to give it when Joseph had asked for her to heal the group allowing the peach-haired male to do what should have been done the entire time and attacked. Luyos was growing bored and stated as such to Lilith who had removed Zaven from the groups side after he had destroyed her spell making his own vanish. Analise became the protector for now to buy them time to either help or run, she understood if they chose the latter. Soon enough, a spatial portal appeared from behind them. The mother inside had given Sol and Valo more information and even gave Valo a potion that would grant him aid even beyond the forest. Eventually, the danger outside couldn't be ignored by her any longer as two of the men had been left defenceless. She had informed him as long as one of the girls wanted to leave the door would open but only they would be allowed to re-enter. [break][break] If the potion by Valo is drank information on what it does will be given. Joseph and Jirou are both being healed for grand damage per round, they will also find that their physical strength has been increased to senior rank and they can move at 10m/s faster thanks to Analise's spell. [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 was sitting on the floor crossing his legs, he was patiently waiting and assessing the situation outside as much as he could. He truly believed that the group outside could pull through, he believed in them despite the obvious disadvantages. But he would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous, Zaven was distracted, Joseph wasn't a fighter and Jirou couldn't be trusted right now if not ever.
Valo heard the mothers words and grinned. "I see your point and any sane person would agree with you. But I don't see that way. Because we don't intend to lose here. Before we leave this forest Hinota will be awake and back to her original self along with Amaya, the daemons will be defeated and Clover will be safe. Or i'll die in the process. But the Daemons will learn that I am very hard to kill, and even harder to beat." Valo said confidently still sitting with his legs crossed with a focused look on his face, but a confident smile on his lips.
Valo never thought of himself as a sensor type, nor playing that role on a team. So the idea of actively using his ki all the time, didn't come to mind all that often. But he may have to serve that role for now, and rely on his ki for the sake of the team. "Understood!" Valo replied to the mother but was caught off guard when she handed him a bottle and asked him to drink it. There was a bit of reluctance from the black bull, but he took the glass softly standing up. "I wasn't sure I could trust you at first, but you've changed my mind thus far. If you say it'll help then I belive you." he said before gulping the whole thing.
It took a moment but Valo's head began to hurt for a moment, but he felt his ki sensory expanding wider. Not only that but he felt it get sharper and better. It was slightly overwhelming at first, only because he didn't know what to expect upon drinking this potion. But he found himself getting used to it slowly. Valo's ki training and ability was seasoned and honed, but he wasn't a master of it. But now his ki sensory had expanded so much that he may have now reached that higher tier of sensory. "Wooooaaaaahhhh. Did that- did that drink help with my ki sensory? Thank You! Thank you so much." he asked and thanked the mother closing his eyes and getting used to his sensory ranges.
Valo laughed at her comment about him feeling like a grounded child. "Haha maybe a little bit. I won't lie even though my fiancé is a pacifist, I'm pretty close to the opposite. I love a good fight, and look forward to battles. Knowing that they are facing a daemon out there, I can't help but feel a little bit jealous." Valo replied sitting with his legs crossed again, in a meditative state getting used to his new ki abilities.
Valo listened to her further explain daemons abilities and how they each can be a little bit different. They did not follow the same rules as humans. Elysi for example could later a person so much right down to their primodial mana. "Your uncle sounds scary Sol. It also sounds like we can't touch him either. "Sounds like a very tricky fight when we face him."
Valo listened closely as the mother spoke with more urgency, of course it wouldn't be as simple as getting closer to the mausoleum would mean immediate safety. There was a daemon that can could essentially ignore defenses and shields no matter what. On top of that Hinota was linked to the mausoleum itself, so any damage to it would mean damage to her. "Mmm I wish I would have known that earlier. Knowing our luck the daemon out there is this Luyos you speak of. Zaven and the team will win."
The mother started speaking of another person named Zaeaer, Valo wasn't familiar with this name. But he assumed she was speaking about Moon the one that had helped them earlier. Or maybe it was a different Daemon. But it sounded like the mother had great respect and care for this Zaeaer person cause of what he'd done for them. She whispered stating she didn't want her children to know he was a daemon. In Valo's mind him being a Daemon was nothing to hide, Daemons were capable of good despite everything. He had seen it first hand with Lilitu and Ito to a certain extant. And now this Zaeaer person was showing the same capacity for good.
Valo came here to end the Deamon threat in the forest and in Clover, but in truth he hoped some Daemons could be saved. He didn't believe they all had to be dealt with death. They deserved chances just like every one else.
Valo's ki sensory extended to 100 meters out, and it was being hindered by any white noise. He could sense movement or lack thereof from outside and was beginning to get concerned for the others outside. "Sol I don't think we can stay in here any longer." he said to his partner.
One of her daughters showed her a map, detailing what was going on outside and it wasn't good. The group outside wasn't in good condition, and to make it worst Zaven was missing. A portal was opened for Sol and Valo to leave. Before leaving Valo ran to where Hinota was and kissed the top of her forehead. "I'm not leaving you here, but I have to go now. I'll be back. I promise." he said to her holding her hand.
"Anata you stay here with Hinota and the others, watch over them until we get back." he said to her.
He ran back towards the portal, and stopping before the mother. "Thank you for everything. Also we never got your name! What is it?!" he asked before jumping through the portal, that put them back outside right behind Jirou and Joseph. Valo breathing in the fresh air, and a smile on his face. Quickly he assessed the situation, Zaven was missing and the two were hurt be sap magic. There was two enemies a mana beast, and a Daemon. Considering the two were together, it had to be Luyos the Daemon that was mentioned before. Instead of feeling nervous about the encounter, he felt a rush of excitement in his veins. "Joseph, Jirou were here! Where's Zaven?" Valo asked them.
He wouldn't wait long for an answer though. Using his left hand his index finger and middle finger touching, he activated a spell. His aura rising off his skin in a shimmering blue color and eyes glowing magenta. His speed was massively increased, along with providing him grand rank healing in case it was needed. He snapped his fingers targeting Sol, Joseph and Jirou's aura's increasing their speed by 30 meters per second. Valo's control over his mana and spells were highly refined, so he could spread the buffs without drawbacks of decreased speed. Plus he had very large pool of mana even if it cost more currently.
"It looks like Luyos is the Daemon were fighting Sol. Your our Ace here, your world tree spells are strengthened. Your target should be the mana beast, Joseph conserve your mana for now, fall back on your offensive spells and only use spells to support Sol if he needs healing. Jirou I need you as back up for Sol, support him offensively if he needs it. I've bolstered your speeds a considerable amount, you three should move much faster now." Valo told the team
Valo was putting on his gloves his preferred weapon of choice, it would cause his punches to deal grand rank damage per hit. It would be a nice way to conserve mana for now. "The two obviously work in tandem, so they need to split apart. You three handle the mana beast, i'll engage with the Daemon." Valo added waiting a moment for any feedback or info from Joseph and Jirou then he would take off sprinting towards the Daemon who was engaged with fighting another woman.
Valo moved like a blur his already impressive speed was doubled thanks to his spell, he was able to catch up to the Daemon Luyos and the person they were fighting rather quickly. Without hesitation he pulled back his right gloved fist, and aimed to aimed to land a punch on the daemoness rib cage that would deal grand rank damage if it hit. Prepared to counter or continue his attack, he spoke to the random woman who was there. "I don't know who you are, but I'm assuming your here to help." he said to her but he was looking at Luyos.
Then he pointed at the Daemon. "You must be Luyos, I hear you like to fight. So do I! But I have a question before we begin. Where's Zaven?" he asked out loud concerned for his leaders whereabouts and he wanted answers.
BATTLE: Valo activated his Celerity spell and placed his Agni gloves on, aiming a grand rank physical punch on the Daemon Luyos. Paying the full 88 mana for the grand rank spell.
Name of Spell: ディスパッチ (Kaisoku / Celerity) Elemental Type: Pure Aura Rank & Spell Type: Grand | Physical Reinforcement | Healing Range & Speed: 150m| 85 m/s Mana Cost: 50 | 25 Stats Effected: + 30 m/s Speed Applicable Perks: Full Blitz, Combat Aid, Quick Shot, Master Healer, Elemental Oddity: Fire
Description: A spell Valo created using his advanced control over his own pure aura energy. Always looking for ways to increase his velocity, swiftness and speed to even grander heights Valo's proficiency with physical reinforcement spells is highly refined. Because of this he felt comfortable creating this spell that tackles two objectives. Not only increasing his speed, but also providing healing to injuries he may have taken. He activates this spell simply with his aura having a light blue shimmer of his skin, and his eyes glowing a magenta color for a instant while pressing two fingers together on his left hand. His aura healing up to grand rank damage, including regrowing digits, organs, limbs and even potential revival within the healing rules for grand rank spells. The spell will also attempt to cleanse hex and curses via clashing rules. Snapping his fingers and creating a small flicker of flame like energy, Valo can target another person's aura and provide the same healing and speed benefits with the use of ammo rules. The healing's potency will go down 1 rank per person he tries to heal.

[attr="class","jirouimage"]"For I am the Star Draco, Only i may Dim my Light"
Pain. that’s what cleared his mind. For just a moment as the sap hardened he felt a calmness that was betrayed by the tightening hardening sap. A panic and fear set in he was unused to. How long had it been since he actually fought hard? Had… he ever fought hard? As if his life depended on it? Never once before could he think had he ever felt pain like this before because of anothers’ actions. He had only ever felt pain caused by himself. He had spent hours in secret healing and harming himself with his favorite knife. Yet that pain was nothing to what he had just felt. So… that’s why it felt to truly face harm… it scared Jirou…. and enthralled him. The pain was an experience he had never had before. Pain caused by those who truly sought his death. And though he should be elated he was… pissed. His anger was bubbling and beginning to boil over. When the words of Annalise reached his mind.
Out of his depth?…
The mask did not crack. In fact. Those words bolstered his ego. Out of his depth?!…nothing…NOTHING was out of his depth, thought Jirou. No…It just hadnt been shown to him yet, that’s all. She was right he was a Hatchling. He was his mothers hatchling, his fathers son! Trained by the great and loving Fengge, and forged as a true prince of the Yuiee and heir apparent to the True Throne of Xia! The sap on his skin began to boil as his anger and selfish rage caused his aura to bubble and slide off as the binding magic began to fail. So much was happening so many people and action and….he was overwhelmed he realized. And so he did the only thing he could do. He breathed. He closed his eyes and breathed just as the portal began to form. He had heard Annalise and Zaven, and their words were muddled at first. But as he breathed and calmed down he found himself half there and half in the past.
His mother sat before him…. no…. not his mother. Someone else? She looked like his mother. Almost exactly like her except for her eyes… they were just like his. He realized now that the other him he had seen also looked different, looked like Ozma as well as himself. Was this… an ancestor? A dillusion caused by pain? The woman smiled and spoke to him and sounded just like his mother. His head hurt. As if he was hung over, yet the smell of the incense was one he knew well. It was the very same Fengge had given him. He couldn’t hear her voice, yet even still it was hers. The words she spoke were felt rather then heard. “Never Dim your light my child, But remember the brighter the light, the darker the shadow that come from it.” his mind snapped back to reality just as Sol and Valo were ejected from the portal.
He truly wasn’t sure if he was going insane or being effected by the forest. He had no experience like this. Forced into a child’s body, either by some insane transformation spell or an even more insanely powerful Illusionry spell. His sister was unable to act as she should, her mind twisted into a child and as such being useless to the purpose of even saving herself. Annalise’s constant taunting of him. Why? Why him? His sisters words…. she called for Junjie rather then him…. What Shame Jirou, He thought to himself. He understood at least partially, Junjie was a constant protector in her life. but what shame he felt as a big brother that while standing next to her and there she still subconciouslly called for another. Beyond that he was seeing things. Despite no doubt being an illusion his mothers appearance had given him a calmness, a breath of pause that allowed him to settle his mind just as Valo began to speak.
“Xièxiè nǐ, māmā” he whispered to himself. He had brought his hands up to his face as if covering his wounded face as Annalises spell seemed to help remove the binding Sap fully. He felt the energy of mulitple sources flowing into him and healing him. The damage his body had taken wouldn’t be unnoticable and from where Valo and Sol were standing they could no doubt see the bone of his jaw and the bone of his hand and arm as it began and would heal fully for Grand. His face was covered by his hands but he would see through the middles of his fingers as he saw Annalise fighting Luyos.
He had not noticed her at first, and had not even realized Zaven was gone. He was in a strange mindset that felt like a break from reality from a drug yet at the same time… something felt oddly safe in it. As if all his troubles had slipped away. No… that wasn’t right. That wasn’t the right word. There were no more troubles. His sister was behind him safe, his body was feeling an explosion of chemical, magical, spiritual and Gods know what else feeling.“Guānkàn lìlì sī, Guānkàn ānnà lì sī. That one is mine.” hed stand and with his hands already up and over his face, his aura would flow over them causing a blanket of pure golden aura to his hands his hands as he quickly brings his hands down before moving his hands in a semi-circle at the wrists flicking the aura away and out from his body. He would prefer The demoness Luyos and her Beastly pet for this illusion and so would make sure to cover… well truly he couldn’t cover anyone but one person…Annalise. He had just heard that Sol was the Ace after all and If the foolish Idiot Savant his Sister so loved said it….well…Perhaps it was time Jirou trusted him. But Annalise was in a better Position to land a Death blow in one move. The wave of golden aura would wash over everyone within the range of the spell and they were now subject to its effect he hoped. He wasn’t sure if the Demons could be but he needed to know. Sensory may not be useful but illusions may still prove to be their downfall!
He’d step forward and rush toward her, placing his hands together as fists as he pulled them apart, creating a Ruby Red whip. He didn’t know if she could see him but his goal was simple. With a small jump his speed would carry him up and far behind Luyos and her Pet. Jirous Brilliant Jade eyes flashed with a child's happiness as he flicked the 150 meter long whip and with a speed of quickness and skill that could only come from someone who practiced with the weapon regularly. His aim was Simple. Hed strike at her Hound as Annalise would Hopefully strike at her. Jirou wondered what his spell looked like to the others. No doubt they would not find any love in their hearts for what they were hearing. He Envied them. He wondered what his Spell would say about himself.
"You said it yourself Luyos! You wanted a fight worth having! Kànzhe wǒ bǎ suǒyǒu nàxiē měilì de huābàn shāo chéng huījìn!"
Kànzhe wǒ bǎ suǒyǒu nàxiē měilì de huābàn shāo chéng huījìn! = Watch as i burn all those pretty petals to cindering ash!
Combat Summary
[attr="class","jirouscroll2"] Having covered his face after being freed of the sap Jirou triggered his grand illusion spell and then sped past Luyo, her beast, and Annalise before summoning his Grand whip and attack Luyos beast with it to allow Annalise to have a chance to finish Luyo with a decisive blow.
Name of Spell: Replication of Perfection
Elemental Type: Pure Aura
Rank & Spell Type: Grand | Sensory (illusion)
Range & Speed: 80m (+10 for 10 sensory) | 75 m/s
Mana Cost: 50 | 25
Stats Effected: Blinding | -12 Sensory
Applicable Perks: Master Illusionist
Description: Jirou bring his hands up and covers his eyes, causing a blanket of pure golden aura to flow over his hands as he brings his hands down he moves his hands in a semi-circle at the wrists almost flicking the aura away allowing the chance of anyone within range to possibly be blinded for a single round with the use of the blinding rules. Whether they are blinded or not the area will be filled with clones of Jirou that will look exactly as he does at the time of casting and will move independently to make it that much harder they will affect a person's mana sensory so a person won't be able to tell which is the real Jirou or where potential spells are coming from with clarity. If a person gets close to them they will sound and even spell like Jirou. To see through this illusion a mage must have 140 sensory, this increases by +2 for every 10 control that Jirou has although it will wane by -2 every round and can be reduced further by map spells as shown inside the sensory specialization. With the use of ammo rules, he cannot only add allies into the illusion in the hopes of making it harder to track them but also bend the illusion around allies so that they won't be affected by it.
Name of Spell: Ruby Red Whip
Elemental Type: Pure Aura Elemental Oddity
Rank & Spell Type: Grand | Attack Creation | Restraining
Description: to activate this spell Jirou need simply place his closed hands together with their knuckles and thumbs touching, as if holding something in his hands causing a glowing whip shimmering of ruby to be made in his dominant one. He can keep the whip in his hand when in melee combat or throw it in the general direction of the enemy regardless of which it is capable of dealing grand rank damage. Upon a successful hit not only will it do severe third degree and minor 4th degree burns to the place hit but also wrap around them reducing their speed by 20m/s in addition to this because the whip squeezes tight enough to do senior rank damage. With the use of ammo rules, additional whips can be made, in addition to this if Jirou feels so inclined he can hand a whip to an ally so they may make use of it.

Sol listened as the mother explained to Valo that could Hinota really be blamed for being angry for the choice that he made given that as she put it they chose her life over the rest of the kingdom which caused Sols stomach to sink a bit as well realizing that while he had been trying to support his friend that it was likely the wrong choice, as she gave Valo a vial of liquid she explained it would help them and that she was glad that they had helped the girls understand more and that meant so much to her. He saw Valo drink the vial and he blinked as apparently from what his friend had mentioned his Ki sensing had awakened further, as Valo seemed to get fired up Sol joined the woman in chuckling as he knew his friend was always a bit battle hungry but not in a bad way. ”only you would admit to being jealous about fighting a daemon” he said with a bit of amusement in his tone as he shrugged his shoulders,
He listened as the mother explained that only a few daemons would dare get this close to the mausoleum and though she stuttered she mentioned that if they were on the roof they might take less damage then begged that they didnt give that message to those outside,”we wont tell them we promise” he said softly to the mother before she brought up the fact that all daemon magics acted strangely using her husband as an example stating that Elysi could alter a person right down to their mana, she explained that any physical contact was dangerous for any that attempted it and Valo mentioned that he sounded scary and that it would be a tricky fight to that Sol nodded in agreement.”it is going to be tricky but not just that battle all of these likely will be that way like she said all the daemons magics act differently then normal” he said ignoring his friend calling Elysi his uncle since the relation was unknown other then that he and Elysi were family but they had bigger things to focus on.
Hearing her explain that Elysi took the form of man and wraith due to his heritage which gave him two forms in the daemon phase called consumption, at that Sol now realized just why his family member had him promise never to take a deal from a daemon it seemed that their bloodline didnt handle it well, she asked that they be careful and move slow as they didnt know what could alter him before she explained the daemons further and confirmed what he said by mentioned every daemon had a unique quality to them she brought up one that could rip thru shields as if they were nothing and that because Hinota was linked to the mausoleum it meant her body would take damage was well if the building was harmed in any way. When asked if either of then had seen a white flash a little before Hinota had entered Sol thought for a moment before nodding
“I do recall seeing someing for a second before it happend” he said before she hoped that the daemon that was outside wasnt Luyos and explaiend how she would follow the rules if they were agreed upon before she went further and explained about another daemon Zaeaer who despite being a daemon had helped them until they had gained the mausoleum and Sol wondered if perhaps they might be able to settle things with such a daemon without having to cut him down, when she mentioned that the girls didnt know that Zaeaer was a daemon and she didnt want them thinking he was a bad man and at that Sol nodded before seeing her turn her attention to his comment about Lilith stacking the odds agaisnt them and explained that it was more a defensive measure and for her amusement which Sol wanted to scoff at since he found the idea of the archdaemon doing such a thing a pain in the ass, she mentioend that many of the older daemons and daemonesses likely had servants that could have turned the device on and Sol nodded as she explained that if the daemon outside was Luyos she had a mana beast that wasnt daemonic so it would gain strength and none of the weaknesses.
It was then that Valo mentioned they couldn't stay in much longer as the mother also confirmed that their leader was nowhere to be seen and the two that were fighting outside were badly injured with one clinging to the last strands of his life and Sol clenched his teeth, she assured them though as a black portal appeared that as long as one of the girls wanted to leave the door would open once the threat was gone and only the two of them would be allowed to enter again. At that Sol nodded and approached Amaya and he gently cupped her cheek as she slept before he sighed.”I'll be back for you I promise no matter what I will return” he said softly before he nodded to Valo as he asked the woman for her name.”yes I would like to know that as well” he said before he would quickly follow Valo out thru the portal as it shut behind them.
As they entered the battle Sol saw that Zaven was once again missing and Jirou and Joseph were in dire straits, Valo was quick to mention that Sol was their ace ”understood” he said simply as his friend gave out the orders and as he felt the boost in speed he looked at both the mana beast and the daemon with a glare that would freeze a lesser person in place , before he could make a move however he suddenly found his vision burned white as something clearly blinded them, he couldnt even attempt to cast a spell as he couldnt even see what he was targeting,'I swear to the kami when I find out what did this im going to kill them and make sure they regret it' he thought to himself as his fury started to boil in him since they were in a situation that was already deadly and now being blinded made it worse since he was now a sitting duck for whatever would hit “Valo we have a problem I cant See!” he called out."whoever has the Illusion up drop it these Daemons arent effected by Illusions all your doing is making me a giant target!" he called

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.

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.
