Ozma listened as he heard Hania explain that Asmostia his spirit had been snuffed out and due to being in full dive mode he had felt his death, at that the Yuiee prince couldnt help but feel a sense of morning for the spirit and for Hania due to having been connected to a spirit as well in the past, and though his connection to Iris was now gone it hadn't resulted in her death so Ozma had no idea just how bad it was. As Hania went on to mention that Jevi seemed Smitten with Hinota Ozma kept his face impassive but internally wasnt sure what to make of such a thing, Hinota was already dating a commoner in Valo Stark and while he was not a fan of the relationship he mearly held his tongue and didnt intervene yet as he didnt wish to ruin the relationship he had with his sister but the idea of another person going after his sisters heart didnt sit well with him 'my sister seems to draw so many to her but none of them are worthy to even be in her presence let alone court her' he thought spitefully .
As they had continued forward he heard Hania mention that the captain of Silver Eagles had worn some questionable things so he wouldnt put it past the captain but stated that he might not have been drunk but getting revenge on someone, at that Ozma nodded since the design and color they were looking at was gaudy and unsightly to the eastern royal, while he was not like his brother and didnt dress like a peacock on steroids he did enjoy good design and taste and this was neither of those.”I think your right on that Hania” he wrote in the air. Hearing Freyr confirm that Silvas were known for wearing odd attire Ozma had to cover his mouth as he gave a silent chuckle before Hania would mention that Jevis logic was flawed and he would let his teacher know which Ozma had a feeling was not going to end well.
After the battle in the following area Ozma got reprimanded by his vice captain as Hania told him that he had held back and that the next time he did he would regret it, at that a cold shiver had gone down the princes back as he knew his vice captain was not one to mince words and he needed to heed what he had just been told and use more of his limited arsenal in the next battle. The Earth mage Bowed his head in apology as he wrote in the air “my apologies Hania it wont happen again” he wrote knowing that he had to make sure it didnt or what awaited him back at base likely wouldnt be fun.
Floor 1 room 2
as they entered into the next area it seemed that the creepy atmosphere remained as it still seemed to be night outside and as they passed by the booths and looked around the moon appeared full in the sky casting a pale light on them which helped them see without the use of candles,they were still a bit of a ways from the big top tent but the path to it was clearly lit with lanterns and a bit of movement caught Ozmas attention, it was a clown or more the just one as there was quite a few that were picking up trash and as they noticed the group Ozma also heard the honks and he felt his eyebrow twitch'I hate clowns' he thought to himself as Hania ordered them to get ready and the Earth mage raised his arms in a ready stance as his gauntlets were still active, he saw both Hania and Freyr jump right into the action with their magics with hania wiping out three of them with Ice and Freyr making four golems and inflecting damage on four of them, Jevi was quick to rush forward and with a flurry of attacks with his swords he would cut down the four as he called out that there were only 5 left.
Ozma jumped into battle as well as he formed a circle on the ground with his right foot before tapping on it twice before he also then would kick the earth in front of him with his right heel. As he did so a large spike of earth erupted before pieces fell away revealing a Dragonlike serpent that suddenly sped orward and proceeded to catch a clown in its jaws before it bit and severed the clown in two, from in front of him from where he had kicked the ground causing jagged and sharp spikes of earth to start erupting forward towards one of the clowns criss crossing over each other as they would then reach the clown and impaled it in multiple spots. Ozma moved forward as well moving to enguage with one of the clowns and was quick to grab it by the head with his stone gauntly and then slammed it into the ground with enough force to render it dead before suddenly swinging behind him at a clown trying to catch him from behind and the resulting crack was easy to hear by all as the clown dropped to the ground from the sheer blunt trauma that the gauntlet had caused, he had cleared at least 4 of the 5 so the last one would be easy pickings.

[attr="class","haniaimage"]❝Legends will remake me, agony won't break me.❞
[attr="class","haniascroll"]The ice mage knew that the others inside this group would be concerned for him, he had vanished from the public eye from the moment he went to deal with the archdaemon Asmodeus, and even when the threat was dealt with he was still not seen for over three months and his family's estate went into lockdown meaning that no one who didn't belong to the estate could enter. Hania had learned from a young age that sometimes body language could tell you a lot about what a person was thinking and so began to study it much like he did anything else that took his interest or was requested of him to learn. It was clear to him that Freyr had been confused and likely why, after all, the ice mage was known to have a spirit partner that accompanied him that was very much absent now.
He had noted that out of the three men he was with, it was the one who wasn't in his squad that seemed to notice Amostia's absence. "Why are you saying sorry? You didn't cause it." he said simply, he knew the reason behind the words but they were hollow to him. He took a moment to think "Freyr, I wouldn't wish the sensations I was put through on my worst enemy or even a daemon." he was perfectly serious about that, it was strange however as his voice visibly trembled as he spoke on the matter. It was clear the ordeal had shaken him to his core, he was dealing with it the best he could but it wasn't like there was any kind of fix for what he went through. If any other went through as he did, the pain would likely fade in time as may the memory but because of his memory, it would also be vivid.
He took note of Jevi's body language when he spoke about how the swordsman had seemingly become smitten with the floral mage, he hadn't meant it as anything other than a tease but he saw and heard just how the man felt. Placing his left hand to his chest he bowed a little "Forgive me Lord Suru, I didn't mean to overstep comfort but merely wished to tease." his voice was formal as he spoke "I will refrain from doing such actions in the future." He was a man of his word and wouldn't attempt to tease the other in the future, he hadn't attempted to do such a thing with his peers since he was a child and it seemed even as an adult it had the same effect.
'Anchored by a world I can't be a part of...' he thought to himself 'Now you understand why I kept everything at arm's length.' Ito sent back to him 'It's the same reason it seems to come so naturally to me.' he sent to his counterpart 'The very same' Ito confirmed. "She is a wonderful young woman with a kind spirit." he said simply, he had no idea what their relationship was like or what kind it was as it had little to do with him, his family or the kingdom at large. "I'm glad that you are both getting along well even if there are a few bumps in the road, also, I have never known her to hold grudges so if she ever does you must have made a huge mistake." he informed the other allowing the conversation to come to an end as though Jevi wasn't saying much openly it was clear there was a story he didn't want in the open.
The conversation moved to the Silva and their gaudy attire "They will look at what is "fashionable" within the boutiques and then decide to up it making an already terrible outfit look even worse." he said shaking his head with a sigh, the thing with many nobles within Clover he didn't understand. It is also why he was glad his cousin Amaya never got the choice on her wardrobe at a young age as she would end up making a clown looking dignified with some of the fashion disasters that came out. These days he designed her entire wardrobe personally, it was almost therapeutic to him. "The only interesting case study the Silva give is why they aren't locked up in an asylum." It was already well known there was no love loss between the two families so to hear them speaking in such a manner with each other wasn't out of left field even if they did play nice with each other in public by the means of backhanded compliments.
His eyes flicked towards Freyr after he commented about how Jevi was lucky to be spending time on the Ravencrest estate "You are more than welcome to join if you wish Freyr." he said giving the man an open invitation. He turned his eyes to Ozma as he used the brush to pain in the air "It matters not if I am right or not, this is a dungeon the matter forms abnormally in them." he said simply. He had cast a spell taking out three of the enemies without much effort, Jevi and Freyr worked together to take out four and Ozma held back only taking out two of the enemies which landed him getting chastised by the ice mage, to which he said it wouldn't happen again.
He turned his eyes towards Jevi who seemed as if he was about to argue with coming to his family's estate over the weekends for the foreseeable future. Junjie hadn't gone into detail but had requested that Jevi's mother be allowed to escort him as he was sure that the woman would get on with Winter. Usually, Hania would refuse such a request without a good enough reason but a favour was being called in and so he accepted more so as Junjie's uncle was his bodyguard even if he looked after Amaya at current. "Junjie is nothing if not diligent when it comes to his endeavours." he admitted "I trust his word if he says your mother will get on with Winter, she could do with the company." he said thoughtfully knowing his nanny worked hard making sure his health was well taken care of given how weak healing was with him.
"You're mother will be given the same treatment as Winter, that is to say, she will be treated like my own family." There was no hint of deceit as he spoke those words. To him, Winter wasn't just a member of staff paid to care for him, she had more or less looked after him since he was six and so he came to view her as a motherly figure in his life. It also meant the woman was treated like queen and so Saki would gain the same treatment. "He merely called in a favour that he was owed and so I obliged." there was nothing more to it for the man. He had a plate that was so full that it usually was overflowing so rarely took on any new endeavours without a good reason. This helped people while clearing a debt so everyone was happy.
Hania took out the last two but his magic was highly unstable at current and his bow almost vanished but he managed to keep it together a little longer. It was then he spoke to Jevi as both the swordsman and painter had put faith in his memory as he explained his logic was flawed and so would inform his tutor but gave him a quick lesson as to why he should always be aware of his surroundings. He listened as Jevi explained he felt comfortable that this group wouldn't need to retreat but he did admit that they had no idea what they would find as they continued. "Jevi, usually I would be able to say with some certainty that you are correct in your assumption, however..." he paused for a second "If you haven't noticed I am fighting against my mana right now." he explained.
"I am an ice mage, but, my mana is currently getting overwritten by new elements thanks to what went on in my last assignment." he admitted "I believed I may have had three days, but it seems that estimate was extremely off..." he closed his eyes for a moment "At the current rate of change I may last three hours and that is if I am extremely lucky so we truly don't have the time to mess around." he said opening his eyes. His life had become so chaotic since a little before the royal knight exams and just got increasingly worse as time passed after that. "I can still fight physically even if my mana fails me so I will be able to aid regardless." It wasn't exactly something he wanted to let them know but it was something he needed to be transparent about as it affected their survival.
He turned his eyes to Freyr and smiled weakly "I will make sure my magic holds until we get out of here." he was resolute in that, Ito was correct he was fighting a war that he would eventually lose but he was going to fight against it for as long as he could. "And please don't say anything to Winter, she worries as it is." the last thing he needed was his nanny lecturing him about such things. "I will say this is going to be my last assignment as a magic knight." his tone was calm as he spoke but Freyr would be able to tell he was serious on this matter in his undertone and there was very little that would change his mind on his decision. After gaining their tickets they moved further into the dungeon, he remained quiet his eyes closing as he walked.
As soon as he heard the first Honk he opened his eyes and quickly took in his surroundings, he already knew that they were going to attack the moment they were spotted and didn't want to play games and try and work around it. He instructed the others to get ready and after creating his own spell took out three of them though his magic did struggle just before hitting his targets. He was glad to see that Jevi and Freyr were working well together as a team as they took out four enemies, his eyes going towards Ozma who took his warning seriously and removed five of the enemies leaving only one left. Hania dashed forward silently extending his hand as he got closer his palm flattening as he hit the clown dead centre of the chest before bringing his leg up and axe kicking him at the back of the head and taking out the final one.
He truly was waning in confidence in his magical capabilities but he would fight against the tide as long as he needed to, to make sure they got out safe. 'You are doubting our capabilities?' Ito would ask 'You don't factor into this, you are merely a parasite that shouldn't be in my body.' he sent back 'Such harsh words. Eventually, you will have to come out of that void of denial and accept you are my successor, my reincarnation and that means everything that I am you are.' he reminded him 'The longer that you fight this the longer you are going to suffer.' he stated making the ice mage silently grunt. He wondered what kami he pissed off to be punished in such a way. "Lihua... Wǒ mílùle" he whispered almost silently. Everything in his life was orderly and organized now it was so chaotic and he felt... afraid...
---Floor 2, Room 1---
With the enemy out of the way he started to move towards the big top, he made sure not to move too far away from the others as he entered the tent silently. He noticed the still gaudy-coloured material, but he had to admit at least it was better than the last two chosen but not by much. It was then he noticed the steps leading up to a new floor and the red velvet carpet "Seems we're expected." he said smiling a little as he cautiously made his way up the stairs to see what awaited them. It was then he realized that the carpet had vanished revealing nothing but stone steps, the bannisters were made out of wood with hanging lanterns. He continued to walk even as the stairs became a steep hill and noticed that eventually, the lanterns were no longer lit, this caused him to look around noticing that it was early morning at current.
"I knew this place was going to be a world of contradictions." he said pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance. He knew they hadn't been walking for hours and yet the sky was a bright blue a stark contrast to where they had just come from. He stopped walking as the ground once again became flattened before looking around noticing that this was just like where the carriages were meant to be parked in the first area. He had found the lack of life concerning given that there were carriages and brooms around showing that there must have been some people around here. In truth, it was setting off all kinds of alarm bells. Walking around he saw the unlit lampposts which made sense given the time of day before seeing the boxes designating where carriages should be parked.
Around the parking area was lush grass, he had to admit it looked inviting for resting or even having a picnic but that also sounded like a bad idea given where they were. Before long he heard giggling and chatting so motioned to the others "Proceed with caution." as everything else had been hostile he didn't know if the things they were about to come across would be the same way. It wouldn't be too long before three brightly coloured toll booths would come into sight with a bunch of faeries in each seeming to be enjoying themselves. "More toll booths?" he seemed confused "Perhaps this is where we use the tickets we got earlier, if they're friendly we might even be able to get some information." he pondered wondering if the others would come to the same conclusion he had. He would wait before approaching to see how the others wanted to approach this situation.

Rank & Element: Junior ¦ Light Class & Type: Relic ¦ Accessory (bracelet) Magic Specializations: Physical Reinforcement ¦ Healing Appearance & Lore: A simple bracelet made out of reinforced glass with an opalite charm dangling from it almost like a pendulum, that gives off a dull light during the day and a bright light during the night preventing any natural shadow from forming.
There is nothing of major historical importance or deep story into where this item came from. The white-haired heir of the Ravencrest family has suffered from terrible day and night terrors since he was young and still does to this day. When asked what is wrong he brushes it off telling people not to worry it was a condition he had. He will never go into the terrible things he sees, in fact, he personally wishes he could forget he quickly realized that his perfect memory was a double edge sword and at times he truly wished he didn't have it.
His elder sister Lydia was the first to realize that it happened more when he was in an emotional state or surrounded by darkness. She also realized that he refused to sleep unless every light source he could find was active or he would sleep outside under the sun during the day, this wasn't optimal as he was to be trained to take over the family if anything were to happen to Lydia. Still, there wasn't much anyone could think to do to help him as he refused to open up but even if they could that came with a different set of hurdles they had to get over. Hania earlier in his life wouldn't take things from people due to his treatment before being adopted.
It took a while but Lydia finally found a way to help her younger brother, she had a crystal made with light inside and told him to use it when he sleeps. She said it was hers and she just wanted to see if it would help. He was reluctant but she said it only had to be a few days so he accepted. Throughout those few days, he slept somewhat peacefully so it was clear that it helped but not enough, she could only guess that the light wasn't strong enough. She realized this would be fine for a normal child afraid of the dark but it was clear to the pink-haired woman that this wasn't a normal situation.
She personally designed what she believed would help him the most, she chose the materials, their appearance even the opalite that dangles from it. As the bracelet was being made she slowly started to imbue her own element into the glass beads and the opalite as the former was created and the latter was shaped. It took close to a year to complete but Lydia seen it as something that should be done slow and steady, this was to make sure that it was done right the first time and that no matter what it would be near indestructible for whatever he may face in life.
On what is now classed as Hania's eighth birthday after a certain incident happened, she gave him a box, and within it laid the bracelet. He was told to keep it with him always as she would be there to keep the darkness at bay and watching over him so he could be at peace while he rested. From that moment he has always kept it with him even if he hasn't always worn it.

[attr="class","Freyrtext"] "I'm sorry I misspoke I meant my condolences." He spoke explaining his reasoning. He knew Hania could read him but he still think explaining was best to ensure Hania it wasn't anything other then manners of sending his condolences. What more could he say? If his mother or sisters lost a spirit, they would want hugs and caring words but Hania was not them. He was just a face Freyr has gotten to know from one banquet. He couldn't assert himself into the man's life when he isn't welcomed for such a spot. All he could do was just tell Hania he was sorry for his loss. [break][break] He watched Hania turn to jevi as he apologized for the tease as it was clear the boy was uncomfortable of the light teasing as it was nothing but harmless banter. Though Freyr could understand where jevi was coming form and where Hania was coming form. He followed after them all as the Silva and their taste in style was called into question as he nodded. It was known the Silva were not the best when it comes to fashion and questionable at best. He listened interested in the case study of why the Silva haven't been locked in the asylum yet. It was then from the teasing of jevi getting to go to the Ravencrest estate that Hania extended the offer to him. " No I couldn't. You have a lot on your plate as is, Me being there will just add to more stress as you do deserve some rest and relaxation at some point in your daily routine, I will accept the invitation when it is just the two of us If that is alright with you Hania."He inquired he looked towards jevi as he nodded " Not a problem. I have gotten to know Lady Hinota very well and I consider her a dear friend and wish her nothing but happiness in whatever she does."He spoke " All I can do is give you the same and if you wish to speak or I suppose hang out sometime outside work, I am more then willing to invite you to my family's estate. I am sure my mother and sisters will love to see me actually allow others on the estate as friends."He commented. [break][break] He listened to Hania speak to Ozma of what he did wrong. Freyr had nothing to say as he figured it was not for him to be part in. Him and jevi were assisting each other being the weaker of the dungeon grouping. He listened to Hania and jevi speak of why jevi was going to stay with Hania as Hania explained that junjie called in a favor Hania owed him so he accepted. Freyr listened as Winter and jevi's mother would get along. [break][break] Then came the knowledge of Hania admitting his magic was changing, however he still was confident he was sure his magic will hold out till he got out of the dungeon. Freyr chuckled hearing Hania ask for them not to tell winter. " It is not my place to worry the woman who clearly cares so much about you Hania."He confirmed " As long as you promise to actually get rest and get yourself back in a stable state, I won't push, even as a friendly face."He spoke Before hearing the calm acknowledgement from Hania that this would be his last assignment as a magic knight. "Well that will be a shame, I had hoped to be able to work even more along side you Hania." He spoke watching the man as he could tell once Hania had his mind set, there would be very little to change the decision. [break][break] When the battle phase of their exploration came he tag teamed the clowns with his golems going first, then having jevi clean up his mess. He could have taken the clowns out with multiple spells and strikes, but this seemed the most efficient for the both of them. He watched Hania take out three, Ozma finally taking out more then the previous two, which seemed to not cause Hania to get on him again. He watched as Hania decided to get up close as personal taking out the final clown as they continued towards the big top. [break][break] Floor 2 room 1 -
[break][break] Freyr followed silently with his golems just incase there were more enemies. not seeing any when they got to the big top he dispelled them allowing them to fade as he followed inside looking around. the sight was a bit better but not much, He nodded at the acknowledgement from Hania of them being expected by something as Freyr followed without a thought. He looked around as they moved up the stairs making a note of seeing the carpet vanish to the stone steps. and the bannister made out of wood with hanging lanterns. Who decided how to decorate cause he had questions. He continued to follow along as the stairs eventually became a steep hill even causing the notice of the lanterns no longer being lit. as it was made note that it was now day time as it seemed to annoy Hania of how much these dungeons contradicted logic. [break][break] He looked around the parking area as it seemed rather relaxing for some picnic or just a place to relax. He looked around before hearing Hania speak of them proceed with caution as he followed still. He kept his eyes and ears open and ready to fight if needed. Soon they came to three brightly coloured toll booths with a bunch of faeries in each just being there to enjoying themselves. He tilted his head in thought as he nodded after thinking " I believe that is the best option seeing as we have these tickets and our only path is through these booths."He said bringing out his ticket following after Hania [break][break]
[attr="class","raescroll"] Freyr would express how sorry he was to Hania for the latter going through something so traumatic and losing a precious partner, which Hania told him was not needed. Freyr was not responsible, so he did not need to apologize. Though his next words made it clear that he had indeed been through hell when his spirit died. To get the conversation away from himself, Hania decided to tease Jevi and even point out he had become smitten with Hinota from the look of things. Had Ozma not been there with them, Jevi would not have minded, but to have her big brother nearby would mean that he needed to deny having such feelings. If his feelings were to become public knowledge, it would spell trouble for Hinota as well as himself. What if Ozma told their father or Valo? No, he needed to nip this in the bud right away, and so he clarified that they were simply friends and that they had been through some misunderstandings which is why he was both surprised and glad to hear she still thought of him as a friend. That was a reasonable enough explanation for his behavior earlier, and it was not even fully a lie either which made it easy to get away with. They could question it, sure, but there would be no definitive evidence of his feelings for the imperial princess. [break][break] However, Ozma barely reacted anyway, and it seemed like Jevi had hurt Hania’s feelings by going in such denial. He had seen how Hinota turned from informal to formal to create distance, and now Hania did the same and it made Jevi frown as it saddened him. “Please, there’s no need to apologize or to be formal. Just call me by my first name, and I did not mind the teasing at all. It is due to present company that I felt the need to clarify the nature of my relationship with Princess Yuiee being simply friendly and nothing more. I would not want the wrong idea to take root and rumors to be spread which would only bring her trouble.” It was obvious that he meant Ozma with present company, as he turned to Hinota’s older brother and the crown prince of the Yuiee, giving the man a slight bow out of respect. “My apologies, Prince Yuiee, I am aware you would never spread baseless rumors like that, but for the sake of your younger sister I prefer to take no chances. She has been a formidable friend, and I wish her nothing but the best.” Jevi kept it formal and polite, only trying to put out this fire before it began to raze. This should hopefully do. [break][break] As the group entered the dungeon, the décor was being critiqued by Hania and Freyr, relating it to the Silva style which clearly had bad blood with the Ravencrest if Hania’s words were anything to go by. That was not something for him to join in on, and so he let it go as his attention was then brought back to Hania as the man told him he had accepted Junjie’s request for Jevi to stay over at the Ravencrest estate for the weekends. Before the mention of his mother joining him, Jevi wanted to protest, but as Hania explained Saki was welcomed too he relaxed and accepted the offer. Hania explained that Saki would be treated as family, which brought a smile to Jevi’s face as he thanked him for his time and consideration. Hania played it off as simply returning a favor to Junjie, nothing more nothing less, to which Jevi nodded in understanding. Freyr congratulated him and wished him well, and hearing this Hania extended his offer to the Silver Eagle too. Freyr did not want to add to Hania’s stress, though, and offered for them to hang out when it was just them. [break][break] The Silver Eagle then told Jevi that he was welcome, and that he had also grown close to Hinota even calling her by her first name. Jevi himself was afraid to do that, especially after his talk with Junjie, so whenever she was not around he’d refer to her as Princess Yuiee just in case. He too wished for nothing but Hinota’s happiness, which Jevi could fully agree with. He extended those wishes to Jevi himself and even offered for them to spend time together at his family’s estate, as his mother and sisters would love to see him actually invite friends over. Since Jevi had been trying to find a way to ask the same thing, he was giving Freyr a warm smile. “I’d absolutely love to, Freyr. I’m looking forward to it.” With that settled, he could relax a bit more. Apparently he was not as terrible around nobles as he had once believed to be. [break][break] As it turned out, his simple and optimistic nature had let him to make a mistake regarding tactics for this dungeon. Hania made a good point about it being necessary to have a way to retreat, so knowing the way back was crucial for their survival. Jevi understood, and admitted that he simply felt safe with the current group and figured retreating was not going to be needed. While Hania would normally agree, he pointed out that he was fighting with his own mana right now. Jevi nodded in understanding. Even in this state Hania was so strong and impressive that Jevi had not thought for a moment that there was anything he couldn’t handle. According to his estimation he had about three hours before he would be unable to use his ice magic anymore, and while he still could fight physically they did not have time to waste. “You’re right, that’s something I should have considered. My apologies, Hania, and I promise I will give it my all so we can get through this dungeon safely and quickly.” There was no way he was going to hold back, as he needed the training and his vice-captain counted on him to do his best. [break][break] Hania reassured Freyr that he was going to ensure his magic would hold till they got out of here, and asked him not to tell Winter as the woman worried enough as it was. Then he said this was his last assignment as a magic knight. While Freyr merely stated it was a shame as he had hoped to work with Hania more, it was clear that Jevi was far more shocked to hear this decision from Hania. His voice was calm, sure, but Jevi knew he was serious about it as it just showed in his demeanor somehow. It was not his place to convince Hania to stay, they barely knew one another after all. Jevi’s words would mean little to Hania, but he still wished he could do something to change the man’s mind. “Yea, it really is a shame, and I for one hope you will change your mind.” Jevi simply didn’t know what else to say, as if overcome by grief. Hania was not just any old magic knight, he was the vice-captain of his own squad and a man who was incredibly well-respected in Clover. Losing him in the ranks of magic knights, in the Crimson Lion, was a huge loss. While he'd still be learning from Hania, it meant he was unlikely to learn from the man in the field like he could today. [break][break] Regardless of Hania’s news, they needed to press on and so the group took out some marionettes and later on some clowns. Jevi worked in tandem with Freyr both times, which meant that even though they were the weaker two in the group they could still make a good impact on the enemies and help the rest move along. Ozma’s magic was definitely impressive too, taking on five clowns at once. With Hania taking out the last one with an impressive physical strike, they were able to move along. [break][break] -Floor 2, Room 1- [break][break] The staircase they were climbing looked nice at first, but as they went up the carpet disappeared and showed a staircase made of stone with lanterns hanging from the wooden rails. The staircase seemed to make way for a steep hill, as the group continued to climb. This seemed to be the only way forward, but Jevi had made a mental note of the changing staircase to know which way to return to if needed. The next area they entered was bright as day. Hania made not of them being expected, before making note of all the contradictions they have been through. “It’s like time passes differently here. We went from a late night abandoned circus to what seems to be the start of their show…” These were just passing thoughts Jevi had as he looked around in the bright light, his eyes adjusting to the new area. [break][break] Again, they were faced by toll booths much like before. Though this time there were no marionettes in them, but instead there were creatures that looked like faeries. They looked to be simply having fun, perhaps they weren’t hostile creatures within this dungeon? Hania warned them to proceed with caution, to which Jevi nodded in understanding to show that he had heard the man. His eyes went back to the faeries, and Hania voiced the thoughts Jevi had as well. Freyr agreed that it was worth the try, and as a show of good will Jevi dispelled his claymore for the time being as to not come across hostile. Instead, he took out his ticket that he had kept in his pocket. “As long as we stay on our guard, it is worth a try. If we can pass through without having to fight them, we can conserve some energy for later.” Jevi voiced his thoughts, and began to make way towards the faeries. “Do you mind if I try first, Hania? I need to be close by anyway should combat break out.” He was an up close fighter as a swordsman, so for him it was not as much as a risk to go in close, especially with backup from the other three who had more ranged capabilities from what he had seen. If Hania permitted him, Jevi would walk up to one of the booths with a friendly smile on his face. “Hello there, we’re here to see the show. Here’s my ticket.” He’d hold out the ticket with his left hand, keeping his right hand ready to summon a sword of his if it was needed as he waited to see what would happen.

[attr="class","raescroll2"] Some more talking as Jevi explains he did not mind the teasing, but wanted to ensure no rumors would be spread about Hinota. He asks Hania if he can take the lead, and walks up to the faeries with his ticket in his left hand and a smile if Hania agrees to it to see what happens.[break] Floor 1, Area 1: 2000/2000[break] Floor 1, Area 2: 2000/2000[break] Floor 2, Area 1: 1158/2000[break][break] Spells used:[break] N/A

They were to make small trinkets out of oak that look like oxen as with all learners things didn't go as planned and they ended up making derpy looking oxen. The shopkeeper decided to buy everything as she found out that all the proceeds were going to help with the rebuilding of Kikka.[break] Abilities:

Once bought it is bound to the account it is on and can't be sold back to the store. This item can be bought only once.
Ozma dispelled his golem but kept his gauntlets active as he was listening to Hania when he questioned Freyrs Apology since like he had stated that he didnt cause it but then also mentioned that he wouldnt wish the sensations he was put thru on even his worse enemy or a daemon, at that lifted his brush to write but as he did he paused the look in his eyes showing sorrow but at the same time he didnt know what he would write that fit the situation since how could he show support when he hadnt felt what Hania had gone thru, he had lost his own spirit Iris but she hadnt died nor had he been combined with her in dive form so he didnt know what that even felt like, in the end he put his brush down since he didnt even known what to say. It seemed that after that Hania had gotten into a more playful mood and teased Jevi on being smitten with Hinota and though Ozma remained impassive he was not happy about what he was hearing.'seems my sister has drawn in a flea bitten stray no matter I'm not going to let such an unworthy whelp be near her' he thought to himself.
Hania continued by mentioning she was a lovely young woman with a kind spirit and Ozma mentally agreed that his sister was a rare flower and it made him wary to let anyone near her on risk of ruining that,”indeed my sister is wonderful she helps out so many people even those that do not deserve it” he wrote in that air though the last part of it in truth was more of a subtle jab from him at the people that were beneath him and his family. Jevi then spoke up stating he didnt want to cause issue and rumors to pop up given present company which Ozma figured meant himself which turned out to be true as Jevi apologized to him stating he would never spread such rumors, at that he flicked the paintbrush creating blue words in the air “its fine Jevi I understand what your meaning and I appreciate that you want to avoid rumors flying about” he wrote though in his head he had a feeling that the relationship the Suru boy wanted with his sister was far from friendly and Ozma was already thinking of ways to throw that scenario into disarray but that was for a later date.
As they continued and the subject shifted to the Silva and thair wardrobe Hania was quick to point out that the Silva will take an already questionable outfit and make it worse, he then would add on that the only interesting case the Silva have made is why none of them were in a mental asylum which caused Ozma to cover his mouth as he gave a silent chuckle his body language showing he clearly found Hanias jab highly amusing.”I can only imagine the horrors the doctors would find from their minds” he wrote in the air with copper colors letters. At the mention of Junjie being diligent Ozma nodded before writing again "he is and that dilligance has kept my sister quite safe his dedication is to be admired" he wrote since it was the truth the young man kept a very close eye on his sister though sometimes it was an annoyance to him but he couldn't do much about that at current, Hania then focused on his conversation with Jevi explaining that he currently was fighting with his own magic and that his ice magic was being over written by new elements due to his last assignment and mentioned that he can still physically fight even if his mana failed him which made Ozma nod in understanding.
What surprised him was that Hania mentioned that likely this was going to be his last assignment as a magic knight, at that the yuiee prince brought up his brush and flicked it to make silver letters appear.”your leaving Hania is the situation truly that bad?” he wrote in the air, it was clear that Ozma liked Hania as a person and as a vice captain so he was concerned if he was considering retiring from the knights though he likely knew that trying to convince the Ravencrest was going to do nothing, as they went thru the battle with the clowns the fight didn't take long as all four of them were able to cull the honking nuisances easily and the Prince was happy to know that he didn't get reprimanded again.
Floor 2 room 1
as they entered the next area Ozma blinked as they saw the stairs and as they moved up them following Hania and as they moved the area changed from stairs to a hill and bannisters and hanging lanterns had gone out as it looked like morning and the the mute prince was tempted to rub his temples in confusion as he felt a headache coming on. He flicked his brush again making silver letters.” I swear this dungeon is going to give us whiplash from all the shifting” he wrote showing he was not a fan of how it kept changing so suddenly. As Hania told them to proceed with caution Ozma nodded as he heard the giggling and chatting at the parking area and as they got closer to the toll booths he saw the fairys enjoying themselves and he blinked for a moment as his vice captain questioned the toll booths showing up again.
He suggested that perhaps this was where those tickets would be used that they found earlier and it was a sentiment that was shared by both Jevi and Freyr.”the only thing we can really do is try if we can avoid a fight all the better” he wrote in blue letters as he reached into his pocket and held the ticket in his hands,Jevi was quick to ask if he could try first since he needed to be close for battle anyways,if Hania allowed it Ozma would follow behind jevi a bit incase he needed backup and since his arms were still covered in his earthen gauntlets he was well suited to back him up on the occasion that things went south.if everything went good Ozma would go up to the booth after Jevi and silently he would hold out his ticket for the person in the booth so he could be granted entry.
