Sasha watched as he made his blade glow orange, and she had to wonder, when he said he'd done that for a few hours, just what the blade was. Keeping it lighted like that at a constant heat, surely would have done some serious damage to the blade. So to withstand that heat, then there had to be something special about the blade. She pondered that a moment, and then was shocked as Mayt grabbed her hand, to demonstrate what he was doing. The heat was a shock to Sasha, and she let out a gasp.

Sasha was naturally cold, but never seemed to notice that, never seemed to get cold, but the heat aaround Mayt body...well, it seemed extreme to her. She blushed, and she nodded as he talked, explaining his magic somewhat. It seemed almost like energy, that he was gathering it around him, and then changing its properties, expelling it from himself. Most mages could restore their magical energy by taking it in through the air, little bits, but it seemed to her that Mayt took in Energy to use, without using his own, and that it just wearied his body, and not his magical store of energy. Sasha shook her head, because that seemed ridiculous.

She was only aware of Mayt letting her hand go when there was the absence of heat, and she blinked, looking to him, and meeting his eyes, blushing slightly, but she smiled brightly, "it seems pretty cool, and I can't begin to imagine what you'll be able to do when you're more trained" She said, smiling still, "You'll be an amazing Wizard, Mayt. I'm sure of that"

"Admiration huh, that can either mean you're in it for the fame or looking for some type of approval. By the way, there seems to be some bird following us ever since we left the guild. I'm assuming it belongs to you?" Wes stared at the bird wondering how it would taste like, perhaps just as other birds that he had the hunt down for food during. Stilling standing facing Angelo's seat, Wes still continued staring at the bird. "It must of been some confrontation that allowed you and the bird to still be together. Or is he somehow related to the magic that you possess?" Realizing that he just brought the idea of, what's your magic, out Angelo might follow up with the same question. "I better try and change topic quick if asks." he thought to himself.

Mayt chuckles. "Maybe I will be an amazing wizard some day, but for now, I'm just me!" He smiles, blushing a little. "What little I can do now took a good bit of practice as well, but it all is somewhat useful. When I heat up my sword I tend to cut through things better, and the heat I keep around my body allows me to heat it up faster." He draws it again, and the edge turns the bright orange again. He takes her hand in his a second time to show the field of energy around him is gone, and his hand is actually a tad cold. Unthinkingly, he pulls Sasha's hand up and pressed the blunt edge of the blade against her hand. It's ice cold, all the heat sucked out of it. After a moment he moves it off, dropping their hands back to the side, and just looks at the blade.

"I'd still like to know how my parents had known to send me this, maybe it was just luck. I had always been fascinated by swords like these. Maybe they just meant it as a wall ornament. That'd make me feel less like they've been watching me since I left them, which would be creepy." He forgets he's holding on to he hand as he looks over the blade. He smiles and looks back at Sasha. "It's neat, but some things just confuse me about my powers, like why can't I control cold. I can make things cold, sure, but I can't move cold around." He looks contemplative for a moment, the his eyes widen for a moment. "Hold on, if I control energy, does that mean I could control magic?" He looks at her, expecting her to tell him magic isn't energy. "I mean, I don't know what I could do with it, but, is magic even an energy? Or is it more... Ethereal than that?"

Angelo smiled a little and he opened the window letting mark fly in and Angelo put his index finger out to let mark land on and Angelo smiled at mark petting him gently "you could say that, to be honest he was my only friend for a long time we relied on eachother for a long time so its only natural he stays my best friend." then Angelo frowned a little as he explained "its not really approval im looking for but more like to prove someone wrong about me. my magic is lightning type" Angelo said then he realized something he didn't notice until now, even when Wes was around he never used his magic in the guild at least as far as he could tell. even when Wes wasn't around Angelo never heard what magic he used "actually what kind of magic do you use anyways? figuring out your name is one thing but I never heard of your magic type" Angelo said gently petting mark

"Hmm.. magic, well do you mean magic magic or the type of magic that people might use as a phrase to express their skills or something. Oh look there, a seagull, usually seagulls are a good sign that we're near a coast so that could mean that we must be close to Hargeon. Hargeon, its quite an interesting place since it's so close to the ocean the citizens there prefer to spend most of their time fishing than using magic, so we could right away assume that we will won't see any mages there. There also said to be a beach there too, not the most appealing, but still a beach." Sniffing, Wes could even smell it. "The ocean breeze sure is something, can't you smell it too? It sure is a great day we're having today, no rain but clear skies over here instead." Hoping that bought him some time, Wes could even feel the train slowing down. Can't risk letting anyone knowing any detail of himself or someone may eventually narrow it down and reveal who Wes really is.

Angelo watching him perplexed for a moment on what he was talking about with seagulls and magic as a skill and not actual magic but as Wes kept talking Angelo figured out that his magic was a difficult subject for him to talk about so Angelo simply smiled until he was done talking before saying "your bad at distractions. if you don't want to talk about your magic just say so, everyone has a secret I was only curious. the past is the past and today leads us to a future, that's what you should focus on. Same way I wont tell you what compelled me to join phoenix wing I wont bother asking about your magic, just remember if it comes down to fighting you cant hold back." Angelo said giving him a comforting smile before patting his shoulder as the train stopped Angelo got up and he let mark sit on Angelo shoulder "lets go find a boat" Angelo said as he walked off the train waiting on Wes to join him in the search for a ship

Sasha let herself relax as Mayt grabbed her ha d again, showing her that the heat had gone, she noticed that his hand was colder now, but it still felt slightly warm to her, amd she smiled. True warmth, like the touch of another humans skin, was like a drug to Sasha, and she enjoyed it, and allowed him to press her hand againsf the blade. She smiled when he looked to ber. When he said about cold, Sasha smiled, and said simply, "cold is ts the absence of energy, therefore, sure, uou can take energy out, and create cold, but you can't control it, not like I can, because thats not part of your abilities" she said brightly, twisting her hand around in his, she cupped her hand over, and lifted if up, revealing a small, ice sculpture of a fish appeared. "I can do small things like that, but otherwisd, my power is...completely creative, its a combimation of moving molding and stationary"

she pondered what he said about being able fo control magic, and she got a thoughtful expression on ner face, "maybe you could co trol magic. It is energy, its like a life force for us...i suspect you are taking pure magical energy from the air, ehat ee csn use to restore our supplies of magical energy, and moving it, changing it into, for an example, heat. You might be using your own stores of magic too, but i am not really sure" she said, frowning slightly "maybe theres something in the guilds library you can look through, when we get back"she said,

she paused for a momemt, looking up at the sun, calculating how long they had been walking, "I think we should, when we reach the town, accept the job, but I don't think we should stay in the town. If we have to stsy over night, I think we should camp out, we don't want to risk getting sick ourselves"

Mayt smiled when Sasha showed her power, he looked at the sculpture, putting his sword away and picking it up, not letting go of her hand. "Neat." He offers it back to her, not wanting to just chuck it away. He listens to her talking about how he could control magic, and what he could do with it, he shakes his head. "I can't change the forms of energy, just manipulate what it does. Thus the heat buffer I keep." Sasha hasn't felt it return yet though, for some reason. "I just move that to the blade of my sword, I can't create it. And what would I do with pure magical energy anyway? Drain it from someone so they ca.... I just answered my ow question." He bites his lip, thinking. "Let's see if I can do that some time, not now, obviously, but, sometime."

When Sahsa presented her plan for if they have to stay there Mayt nodded, fully in agreement. "Yeah, avoiding death is my number one concern. How far away should we camp though? I'd personally go with at least half a mile, but a closer place may be just as good." He shrugs, and smiles at her, before looking up at the sky as well. He lets out a long relaxed sigh, feeling comfortable.

He thumbs at the scabbard of his sword, as if contemplating something. He kicks up a loose stone from the ground, letting it bounce off the road. He watches it with an odd amount of interest, before asking, "So, what's life like at the guild? I'm sure it's nice, as you've said, but I wanna really know." He gives her hand a light squeeze and looks at her, waiting for her answer.

After leaving the train and began their walk to Hargeon's pier, Angelo's words continued to repeat in Wes's mind, "The past is the past and today leads us to a future, that's what you should focus on. " those were the words that Angelo said eariler. "The past is the past and today is leading us to our future, but it isn't always your past alone, there are others who lived in ones past that probably experienced something similar to ones past and other factors that might still follow you to the future. That is why we must learn and either change or improve with what we done and continue our paths on the world. This type of subject is one of the reasons why I don't always stay in one place too long, especially the guild, in a way let's just say that I'm trying to find something out here in this world an answer to a problem that needs a solution that wasn't correctly solved. That solution is what I hope could change things around and make life a bit more easier." Wes let out a long sigh, not really realizing if they were walking in the right direction. Perhaps he should of just taken a job by himself and not with someone, just to possibly return back to his quiet life of seeking out his unknown answer.

Angelo smiled as they got to the pier and Angelo started to look around talking to different people about getting them to the island nearby for a cheap price and although it took them 25 minutes to do so Angelo finally found a guy willing to do it for their price considering they were going to an island infested with Vulcans and other beasts. Angelo gave the man some money for the trip their promising he would give money for the trip back. as Angelo got on board he got a piece of bread from nearby and gave a piece to mark who was still on his shoulder as he squawked happily at Angelo as he sat down on a bench on the small ship waiting for Wes to come on. it was obvious that he was thinking about what Angelo said since he hasn't really talked since they got off the train so Angelo decided he had to solidify his point "who you were isn't who you are, and being in a guild means that nobody will care about your past cause they will care only about you" Angelo said softly remembering when he first joined the guild and how shelled he was to everyone else like Wes was to him. If it weren't for his relationship with mark Angelo might never have gotten all the phoenix wing and joined up. they didn't care he was stock broke and looked like a bum cause they provided for him and now he was a top earner for the guild.

Sasha smiled, accepted the fish sculpture back, sliding it into a pocket in the satchel. She had never really held hands with someone for any extended amount of time, so this was new territory for her, but his warmth, even on the warm day it was, was comforting. "Sure. We can a ask Master Jamie too. I have a basic knowledge of magic that isn't my own, but the Masters more knowledgeable" she said "And most likely Master will let you experiment"

She thought about where they could stay "half a mile is good, we can find a clearing, and camp out" she said, half a mile was close enough to be near the town to not have to travel far, but it would be far enough, to hopefully not be effected by the illness. Or so she thought. She returned his smile, as she contemplated what he asked about the guild.

She seemed thoughtful, as she said "I've been to a few guilds, just looking through, and none seemed to have the same...feeling as Phoenix wing" she looked down at her guild mark, on the hand that he was holding and smiled happily. "The first job I ever took, the Bartender, Jarvis, recommended it to me, and offered any advice and help he could give. I think I'd been in the guild a half a day, but already there was a sense of acceptance, a sense of...you need us, and we will be there" her smile changed to one slightly shy, and bemused "it's lively, it's fun, it's...a home you can always come back to" that was it, that was the best way Sasha thought to describe it.

Wes stepped on board of the small ship and stood leaning against the wooden pole of the mast. Letting another sigh out, Wes gave a stern look towards Angelo. "Look, I understand your point, but the guild doesn't speak for everyone in this world and I have my own reasons as to why I don't spend to much time with the guild. Agh, I don't even care what the guild thinks either way of me, I prefer they didn't know I was there or even knew who I was, why do you think I wear these clothes! Why did I even rent a room there hehe! This trip was probably just a mistake, I should've just left with a job and be on my own as usual." Wes was a bit too late to catch the last part he said felt that was a even worse mistake, but it was hard not to tell people his past. With a cold but regrettable voice, "Sorry, I might of went a bit far." He said while looking away out into the ocean.

Angelo simply smiled and let him finish again watching how he reacted and his body language meant that he was hurting inside from his past but he doesn't know how to live today. "no your in the right I shouldn't pry into your business. im just saying that you shouldn't hold onto the past so tightly. I felt a lot like you at one point so I just felt like I should give you advice so you don't end up regretting what you do for your future. Hell your probably right about the guild not speaking for everyone but let me ask you, does that matter? the guild accepts you and that's all that really matters, it doesn't matter if the whole world hates your guts! cause in phoenix wing we stand by our own" Angelo said smiling showing him the phoenix wing symbol tattooed on Angelo's left shoulder blade in green. "the only reason I can smile like this is because I have a place I can call home, same as you" Angelo said softly smiling as he feed mark some more bread

Still looking away from Angelo, Wes began to tightly grip the side of the ship hard as he couldn't control himself. "Felt like you. I wish my life was similar to yours instead of being so different than everyone else. Just shut up and stop patronizing me with your smiles and your annoying pats from earlier, I'm not some animal! My past isn't something that can be easily forgotten or overlooked, people will still remember my past even if I forget it, it's really something that can't be forgotten very easily. I joined the guild knowing that I could potentially risk lives there, that's why I'm rarily there! That's why I gotta keep searching while I still have time and not waste it! Time is-" Wes suddenly stopped when he realized that the water below got closer and then realized he was accidentally slowly pushing the gravity on the ship down towards the water. Wes sighed as he slowly release his hand from gripping the ship hoping that no one notice the ship return back the its normal height from the water. "Waves feeling funny isn't it. I'm going to just sit on the other end of the ship , I just need some time alone. Call me when we're there." He said while slowly walking away.

Mayt smiles, and nods. "There's plenty for me to learn, perhaps I could gain higher ranks with these kinds of thoughts." He says this casually, and looks about. With his free hand he fidgets with his pocket, his other hand still tied up in Sasha's. He walks along, thinking about what else she said. And he shrugs. "I'm not one for regular work, or crowds really." He stumbles a little, bit, and looks at Sasha apologetically after almost pulling her to the ground. "Small groups are better in my opinion."

He yawns again, and continues walking in silence, looking about. He lightly swings his hand that's tied with Sasha's back and forth, somehow not noticing, or not caring, that he was holding the hand of a young girl who may or may not like him and seems fairly friendly. He seems to simply just be enjoying walking around, and he gives Sasha a big smile, before indicating the road and asking, "So how far is it to the city again? Ten hours?" It's hard to tell if he's joking, or simply misheard what was said.

With his business completed it was it time for Rilr to head out to find some other artefact. This time he would probably try towards the coast seeing as how little he has found in the mountains to the west. The streets were filled with people going about their daily lives. He wondered how many of them were mages and came to a conclusion that it couldn't have been many - magic was only seen as a tool to help them a small amount by most people and thus they wouldn't use it.

As Rilr neared the town gate there was a decrease in the amount of people around him. Maybe leaving the town was an outrageous prospect to most? Or was there some event going on Rilr had simply missed? He didn't care, chances are he wouldn't come back to this specific place for at least three weeks. By then everyone will have forgotten and things will have changed. That was both the most interesting part of his vagrant styled life but at the same time it made it seem depressing. Whenever he went back to a place there was always something new that wasn't there before - nothing radical but still it was interesting. However there was also the fact that no one ever remembered Rilr. He just wasn't in town for long enough and so he was like a ghost of some form.

Rilr vanquished the thought from his mind as he boarded the carriage and payed the driver, soon he should be in Hargeon. He'd heard of a sea-cave there which hadn't been explored fully which should make for an interesting opportunity.

Sasha planted her feet when Mayt stumbled, holding on so he wouldn't fall to the ground, and pulling back, until he got his feet back under him. Despite being small, or rather, average height for a girl, Sasha was quite strong.Sasha smiled, and mused for a minute, nodding, "There's always plenty to learn for anyone. Even if you think you've learned everything, you could teach someone, and still learn more-different ways of using your magic and so forth. Or at least that's what my Mentor told me" She said with a shrug, blinking as he started swinging their hands, and then she smiled.

"You can still be apart of Phoenix wing, and stay in a small group. You can take jobs when you want to too, as long as you have money to pay for living and such. You can form a team, there's a few of them in the Guild at the moment" She said, enjoying just talking like this as they walked. There was something...reassuring in it, just talking casually, thinking on magic and the likes. Talking with Mayt was easy, and she liked it.

She looked up ahead, and then up at the sun, trying to figure out how long they had been walking, and how far they had to go. "uh, we're probably about half way there, I think" She said, with a soft laugh, "The city without sound isn't far away, really, so long lost in the mountains" She said, "We should be there soon" She said, "But I think it would be wise to rest before we start looking for the herb"

Rilr disembarked from the carriage. His journey to Hargeon, unlike Magnolia the small harbour town was rather peaceful - probably due to it smaller population. It was time to find some information in this cave, he began to wander chatting to the locals every hour or so when he stopped for a break. Three hours into his search he sat down at a small parlour next the the harbour. It was a quiet time of day for the shipping lanes so there was generally very little commotion for the harbour masters to worry about.

After he ordered his drink he was soon joined at his table by a stranger. Short - about 5'2" - with a large scar down her left cheek. They began to talk casually when she unexpectedly dropped the topic about the cave. Just then Rilrs head began the throb - the beginnings of his frequent headaches. They didn't bother him since they were mild but they did offer a brief distraction. Allegedly this woman had ventured into the cave before and all she came out with was that scar from something residing within it.

What really interested Rilr however was how to get into the cave. At high tide it was completely submerged however at low tide you had to climb a cliff. That shouldn't be even in the harshest of storms. Something magical was in that cave for such a phenomenon to occur. Last time Rilr ran into such a thing he found his first and only artefact - admittedly he needed the help of two others - and a fine artefact it was. A sort of cylindrical piece of equipment with a valve. According to the people who he got in touch with it was capable of absorbing someone's energy - allowing them to sneak past any magical sensors - and then restore it. The way it accomplished this is unknown but is also stopped the regeneration of magic.

So naturally Rilr couldn't carry that around with him. It was still his by law but the council in Magnolia held it under strict conditions. If Rilr could be bothered to do the incredibly large amount of paperwork to take it with him he could have it back. Fortunately he found the thing rather useless so it never came to that.

So he was left with a few hours to spare, he thanked the woman - who introduced her self as Tina - and left to wonder until the exact moment he needed to access the cave - midway between high to low tide.

Angelo sighed a little shrugging letting him go. He just needed to be alone for a while "never said you were an animal and my life was my own hell" Angelo said softly not letting him hear since Angelo want going to make him do anything he didn't want to. Angelo gently pet Mark so Angelo could forget about Wes exploding on him. Although Angelo noticed that when Wes exploded they started to drop in sea level but to Angelo that could just be a coincidence considering that the waves moved them. Angelo watched as they got closer to the islands coast

Mayt nods, and gives Sasha a wonderful smile. "If I were to have a team in Phoenix Wing, I'd make sure you'd be a part of it." He chuckles, and squeezes her hand. "I mean, you're the only one I know right now anyway." He gives her a smile, and looks about, his stomach growling slightly. He looks at it, and shrugs, looking back up at the road. "Maybe I'll get to know other people soon, that'd be great, especially if they were nice like you." He swings their arms again, as if to indicate the physical bond they had made with their hands.

Mayt sighed at the thought of walking another hour and a half, he was already running out of non-personal subjects to talk about, and he knew if he asked about her past, she'd ask about his, and Mayt didn't particularly want to talk about how he had had six legal parents growing up. "Yeah, a break sometime soon would be nice." He'd admit, scratching the back of his head, smiling. He had been wanting to taste the sandwiches Sasha had bought a while ago, but he didn't want to ask until later in the trip.

"Do you have any idea what the herb we're looking for is? Does it say on the job listing?" He looks back at her again, hoping she would provide the answer. He was certain that if the listing had said, she'd have told him. But maybe she forgot to, and double checking is never a bad idea. "I mean, might give us a hint at least, right?"
