[Edo-Damian]

Damian chuckled in spite of himself as he read the note. Jamie always had been intuitive like that. He was also right about the last four years. But he was a much different person then, full of anger and hate. Hopefully he could make it up to the others, but...stop a battle? What was she talking about? "Guess I should go look at that Titan, maybe appeal to the logic in the people going to Earth Land..." With a heavy sigh, he changes direction and heads for the golem, wondering if they'd even listen to him.

[Damian]

"I'll be quick, Master Jamie." Turning to the man who called himself the Time Lord, Damian shakes his head and approaches him. Sure we fought off a couple demons over the last few months. Not like we could let 'em rampage through the country side. Be a pretty horrible guild if we did that. Stopping behind him, Damian clears his throat to get mister Time Lord's attention. "So, you wanted to discuss the demons we've fought?"

Joshua and Amelia followed Jarvis off the legion, Joshua catching Amelia when she lost her balance and almost landed on her face. Joshua calmly looked up at the golem, though on the inside, he was panicking a little. The hell was he supposed to help? Yeah, he was a good swordsman and all, but he doubted he could so much as cut it with his sword. This was on occasion magic was definitely needed.
"Unless we can get inside, I'm gonna be next to useless. So, hopefully you have a way in." He said to Jarvis.

"I... I might." Amelia said nervously

"How?" Joshua asked

"I can summon an earth elemental. He should be able to at least make an opening for us. Maybe he can even control the inside of the golem a bit." Amelia said, looking at the ground and away from Jarvis and Joshua.

"Think that'll work?" Joshua asked the older mage." Or do you think one of teleportation Lacrima of yours will work better?"

Karn chuckled as the feline nuzzled and licked him, gently petting her ears before standing and bounding after her. Although a animal that can't talk at the moment, she seemed relatively easy to understand. That and he was pretty good at understanding animals, since he basically had the instincts of one. For the most part at least.

"Things got a little more lively at the Guild, so don't be too surprised." Karn chirped happily before bursting through he doors and happily cheered.

"Found her! She's coming too!" Karn cheered before promptly hugging Zero happily, despite the possible threat of being punched, he was purring loudly in sheer joy.



Watching as several Phoenix Wing members confronted the golem, the blonde's emerald eyes watched them with a simple interest but was obviously not planning to lend a hand. That would be too easy and a waste of their magic after all. Supposedly if they actually needed it, they might help but they doubted they did. Group was too rambunctious to not destroy something, even this big.

As Joshua spoke, they rolled their eyes. "You do know there is a door right? Open? Free for anyone to use? The way everyone else decided to go? Course that's climbing stairs, and stairs are boring. Poofing to the head and making a opening might do well. Ya know what they say, to kill a hydra go for the head. A silly thing really since that sort of creature spouts more heads if you get the incorrect one but ya know." the mused, boredly sitting on top of the legion with a pair of knitting supplies and seeming to be just knitting a teal scarf.

They weren't worried, except maybe the Lacrima user. Though they doubted even he knew about the Lacrima they were using, they'd probably get curious if they saw it. So they rather not be close enough to have him find out and have to bother dealing with it. The children didn't know better so they were easy.

Amaya VanIsis

Amaya smiled walking away from zero, while writing on her little sketch pad of supplies she needed. She stopped in her tracks when she noticed their unconscious man wasn't where she left him. "Where he go?"she asked herself before noticing someone on the ground" hey, you shouldn't be up and moving. ..at least sit down and let your brain and body process each other" she said moving to Lucus pulling his arm over her shoulder attempting to help him stand

As the being appeared in front of Lazarus Sasha said "Ice make: Tiger Impact!" The tiger formed, and slammed downwards, aiming ontop of the being, like a hammer and a nail. "Ice make: Bear shield!" it formed, larger then she normally had it, and seemed to be more...solid, thicker then her normal ice figures.

"You'll be more help to Mayt then I will be" Sasha said to Lazarus, "Go. Be careful"



Penny was Angered. Looking to Sayuri, she said "You deal with this idiot. I'll see about stopping the Titian. Maybe I can heat it enough to Melt it. If Mayt's there, he could probably enhance my fire to make that possible" She said, wondering, with a quick flash of amusement, if together, the two of them actually made one S class wizard. She took to the air, aiming towards the Titan



Jarvis sighed heavily, "I dare not risk the Lacrima. I don't know anything about that thing, and I could probably just end up hurting us. If there's a door, we go in there" He said, looking to the weird, shifter of shapes. "Do you have to be such a pain? It doesn't matter if the stairs are Boring. Life is full of boring things, and being responsible is about doing those things. Besides, who says we need to get to the top to take that thing down?"

Ayame quietly sat on a bench near the central plaza of the city with the hot sun slowly heating her dirt stained face. There was really not much left of her day, she already had done all the daily chores and just ended up sunbathing on a bench enjoying the weather. At least half an hour was spent looking at the showcases of the stores around the somewhat less populated streets near the center of the city to fill in her boredom. Ayame quietly looked around for something to do while she tried to ignore the looks some people gave at her. Her eyes slowly wandered towards the big water fountain in the middle. She already started walking before she had look at anything else. Ayame peered down into the waterfountain peering at the bottom of the fountain, there was indeed some money lying all the way at the bottom. She slowly rolled up one of her silk sleeves towards the top of her shirt so it wouldn't get wet and started to lower her arm down into the ice cold water. It was a little shocking that the water was this cold but quickly her arm started to go deeper. It was only just a little to deep for her to get anything, no matter what she tried she just couldn't reach any further. After a few more attempts she forgot about her idea and tried to think up a time killing plan b.

Ayame had wandered around the city some more and finally found something to do worthwhile. She had been going down some of the less gross trash cans, picking up small items like broken toys and still good bites of food. Along the line she hadn't even noticed but somehow ended up digging out trash cans near the populair guild Phoenix Wing. The many cheerful sounds coming out of the guild had been slowly drifting Ayame even more towards it till she was on a fair enough distance to be able to hear what was going on inside of the guild. She kept digging in the trash cans while hearing a conversation going on in the guild. Ayame slowly stopped with messing around in the trash can and tried to listen a little more careful. Her ears had soon picked something up about getting a wish granted, she got somewhat excited herself, hearing about it. She listened some more to the mans voice who was claiming to let wished cone true and soon found out nobody in the guild wanted to take the job and have their wish granted? What could go wrong testing some weird invention from a total stranger.

Ayame tried to peer inside a little to find the person who was talking but she didn't even need to waste any effort. The person in question already came walking out himself. She had quickly managed to lower her body down to the ground so he just would walk by her without noticing. Luckily he didn't see her and just kept on going. Ayame waited Luck small moment for him to pass on by and quickly started sneaking behind him with her small bare feet, only a few feet away from the stranger, without thinking any further. Not even a few feet later she already let out a small shriek caused by the sudden shouting from behind. As quickly as she could move her feet she tried to hide herself by the first lamp post she could see. She raised her hand towards her chest to try and calm her heart down a little and looked back at the guild where someone in the doorpost was shouting at the Nero that he had forgotten his penguin on the way out of the guild. She didn't even question it and looked around the lamp post at Nero to see if he even reacted to it. She just hoped the two of them didn't notice her even though she had the most unusual appearance of all. She looked down for a brief moment at her dirt and trash stained silk skirt and shirt but quickly looked back at first Nero and then Jamie.

Nero reacted to the stealthy girl's shriek with a startled cry of his own, jumping a foot into the air and coming down off-balance. He landed on his back, and where his hand touched, the cobblestones turned to dirt. The moment he noticed this, Nero cut it out, but he persisted in fearfully glancing this way and that, trying to find the culprit. After a moment his eyes fell on Ayame who, while certainly thin, protruded from her lamppost hiding place sufficiently, and in such strange clothes, that it was a fairly dead giveaway. Before Nero could figure out what to do, another shout rang out from behind him in the guild's direction, though not nearly as frightening as the first one. He cast a sheepish glance at the little girl before looking back to see Phoenix Wing's master headed his way

It was a smart move on the dark mage's part to not let down his guard and permit a ray of hope to enter his heart at the sight of Jamie approaching. Though he wondered if it was some sort of ploy to trick him into making himself vulnerable, Nero decided to give the guild master the benefit of the doubt and slowed down. Without really looking at the protesting bird clutched in Jamie's arms, Nero shook his head. “Nah! The guild's way cooler than the place I'm staying, and I don't think he likes me all that much. You can keep him until he turns back. Another hour ought to do it. I got Free for free, so it's no problem at all! Ta-ta!”

Whether he meant it to be rude or not, Nero made a shooing gesture with both of his hands, then clasped them behind his back and looked up at the sky unflinchingly. A good moment passed, the warm sun smiling down on his features, before he looked down. The girl, either as scared as he or convinced of the security of her hiding spot, hadn't moved. “Whoo-ie!” He said, chuckling at himself for being so easily panicked. “You got me good! I'm usually too aware for that—did you know that I can feel my heart beating without even touching my chest? Anyhoo, that was pretty funny. I'll have to pay you back somehow.” A thought crossed his mind: if nobody in the guild was going to help him test the Law of Manifestation, then they left him no choice but to test it other people. The younger, the more gullible, he thought, the more gullible, the better. It's not like I'd be transforming her into something nasty, though. This Curse Law has some seriously sweet potential.

“Hey, maybe I could do that right now! D'you think maybe you could help me with something?” He started to walk slowly away from the guild hall, at a rate that hopefully invited Ayame to walk alongside him.

"As they say, no pain no gain. So your responsibility is climbing stairs while two worlds are in peril? Good to know, Stairmaster. Though I hope your not the creepy kind. That's jus weird and creepy Ya know?" the blonde snickered, examining their knitted scarf before starting on another making a soft hum in tune with the movement of the knitting.

Humming a little at the question as they knitted a legion upon the scarf, they shrugged with a carefree grin. "No one of course. Just thought since most went by the legs, most likely will have some epic battle that will probably destroy anything around in the crossfire, it would be faster the control from both directions. That and making sure the Golem leans in the safest direction when it crumbles. Ya know, to avoid as much mass murder as possible and utter destruction. But that's just my two cents. May be a good or bad idea. It's really up to you. Want to start at the bottom, go right ahead. Either way, I can't help you much." they said with a hum.

Master Jamie sighed softly, putting the penguin down, and knowing the ice bird would try and escape, created a pen with his area manipulation so 'Free' Couldn't get away. As Nero turned to a girl, Jamie stepped in front of her. "No. You won't be doing your magic on her. I am a protector of the people, and your spell, as it is untested, could harm them. I won't allow it" she said, her expression one of try it, and land on your butt when I knock you flat.

Jamie looked to the girl, who it appeared hadn't had an easy time living in the City. "Go to my guild just down the road. You can't miss it, child. You will find hot food, some clothes and a place to clean up." he said kindly to her, before looking back to Nero.

"You want to try your magic, you try it on me, and not my members, or the people of Magnolia or Fiore. I won't have someone hurt because of you"



The man chuckled when Damian approached and asked him if he wished to chat about the demons. "Oh, no, you misunderstand my intentions. The Photo I have is the only one I was able to procure. The people at FOREVER magazine weren't too thrilled to give it up, I can assure you. But, in the end, they did. No, Damian, The blade of Phoenix wing. My interest is purely...survival you could say. And simply curiosity about the guild that pretty much destroyed the Magic Council." They replied, looking about them with mild curiousity. They could see that ther Guild appeared to be in some sort of rebuilding mode.

Their eyes lingered on the request board, wondering, briefly, if there was a job on it relating to himself and his activities. He doubted it. He was, after all, very careful. "Phoenix Wing has been making a name for itself. I'm sure I am not the first Wizard o be curious about it's members" They looked back to Damian, and gave a smile, that wasn't really a smile. Quite Chilling, actually. "Magic is...fascinating, wouldn't you say? It can do so much...if you only know how."



Jarvis gave a soft chuckle, but didn't say anything. There would be no point. He looked to the golem. He could, possibly, use his lacrima but it would take a lot of energy.

His first priority was making sure that amelia would be safe.

Was there people in there? Jarvis only had second hand accounts as to what that was, what had happened. He sighed softly

"Well not everything has to be fun. We need to stop this without harming those inside not the surround area"

"Both of you shut up. We got bigger problems." Joshua muttered to himself before turning towards Amelia." This earth elemental. Do you think it could get everyone in that thing out of it?"

Amelia nodded.
"Golem can completely control earth, but there are certain limits, even for an elemental. So he should..." She started

"Wait, wait, wait... Your elemental's name is 'Golem'? So we're having 'Golem' helping us fight a golem?" Joshua interrupted

"Mama showed me what golems looked like once. She looked like one so I named him that."

"Right... C'mon, let's get this show on the road then. Golem can get us in, Jarvis can possibly get us out as needed... assuming anything goes smoothly." Joshua said, trying not to laugh at the name of the elemental.

A little persistence didn't hurt. Her fiery personality always had more gusto than her more reserved water one. Finally getting some stability she headed away from the others. The Guild Master had run off before having the chance give her the guild stamp. That also probably meant waiting a while to answer any questions there were. A bit miffed all of the sudden she headed for the door. Her emotions were fickle when tied to the magic she displayed.

Right now she would not be the most agreeable. Sitting around was dull and annoying. Sadly she also knew she didn't have the strength to get much done either which only made her more agitated. What was she supposed to do now? Grumbling again she stepped out to find where Jamie went. Thankfully he didn't seem to get far having caught up with the weird guy that they brushed off earlier.

Heading down their way she tried to calm herself a bit. Knowing all too well how easily worked up she could get in this state. When she finally did get closer she crossed her arms and held her tongue, at least for a few minutes. Jamie having been the only one to have really seen her before he might notice the palette swap. Though as she listened a bit the young mage focused on Nero. "What are you trying to do again?" Having just been blown off to some extent as well she sympathised a bit with him.

@Lugubrious

Nolan didn't have time to waste on the Genie anyhow. He had to go and find a third person for the job or else they wouldn't be able to go. The problem was however that everyone he even looked at wouldn't even look him in the eyes because a general population of the guild was actually afraid of this guy. There had been rumors that before he joined Phoenix Wing, Nolan had brutally killed many criminals that had crossed his path, truly vindicating whoever was unlucky enough to be the target of his wrath. Hardly anyone wanted to confirm whether those rumors were true or not and they certainly didn't want to see the God Slayer leave a bloody smear of whoever met his magic. They would be correct; the rumors of him killing many are true, but those were situations were leaving them alive would mean death for him and for others so he had to make the call. It's not like he minded killing them. Criminals that kill for gain and selfishness or even for the fun of it do not have the right to live, at least in Nolan's eyes. "Tch, what a pain."

Trinity had been vaguely circling the black-robed mage. Even if this guy had the cheesiest bad guy name, that didn't mean he wasn't dangerous. He could very easily still be dangerous, she should watch him closely. As Karn comes in, she watches him for a moment and smiles warmly as he hugs his friend, but her attention returns quickly to the robbed mage. She frowned as she heard him mention the photo and how he'd obtained it.

"Oh, I'm sure any reputable news source would be less than willing to give out their photographs to just anyone." She approaches conversation from Damian's side. "Tell me, how did you convince them to part with it?"

Zero nodded along as he listened to Amaya. He was interested indeed, but he really didn't get a word in edgewise as she got up soon after speaking. She tossed a paper at his head. He uncrumpled it, read it and then tore it up. "Right." He said to himself calmly as he held the shredded paper. Zenoram would make a note surely. It would be just that simple to ask Hemlock about the female dragon. There had to be something right? Regardless, now he just had to wai- "Wha..." He stopped listening to Melina. He clenched his fist and grit his teeth. Who else was going to try and piss him off today? And furthermore, why did Mithera tell her? He sucked his teeth. Whatever. It didn't matter much now. "Whatever, just don't do anything stupid or I'll kill you myself." He said with a slight scoff, annoyance still evident in his tone.

Soon enough though, his waiting would end as Karn arrived with Mithera. Part of him was completely prepared to punch, or kick, Karn but he didn't remembering the odd behavior from a little bit ago. "Get. Off." He spoke the two words slowly and separately. "And you. You told somebody." He said to Mithera, regarding Melina. Even if Mithera trusted her, that didn't make it right to Zero. Beside, she should have at least consulted him. Zenoram likely would have been convinced after a bit. But he didn't pursue the issue or speak more about it. He wasn't look for a fight. Not with these two anyway.

So he looked away. "Now we just gotta wait on mister S-Class to finish up his conversation and we can go." He then said calmly. Zenoram was oddly quiet right now. Probably resting after trying to get Zero in line. The others could do that for now though. And then changing the subject as he heard Nolan. Only one sentence. It got his attention. Looked like people were afraid of him. "Geez... What's everyone freakin out for around that guy?" He asked as he looked toward Karn and Mithera. "He doesn't look so tough. And neither does the 'S-Class'. He chuckled slightly using air quotes at he referred to Damian only after speaking regarding Nolan. Maybe it was his annoyance that he was kind of antagonizing somebody he didn't know. Or maybe it was the impatience. Over all. It was done.

Melina chuckled a little. "Oh I'm only going because it's on my way. I don't plan on doing anything stupid. I just figure a supposed dragon is a very distracting matter." She glanced over as Karn and Mithera came in, smiling as the boy hugged the Dragon slayer. As Zero accused Mithera of telling, both her and Melina winced, but Melina came to the cat's rescue, scootching back up to Zero. "Me and her share a Psychic link. She couldn't of not told me mister Dragon Slayer, that's hardly her fault, is it? At any rate, she promised to kill me herself if I spilled the beans, something that'd be excruciatingly painful for both of us." She patted his back and scooped Karn up into a hug before turning and inspecting the guild hall for anything she might've left behind. Determining she had everything she needed, she turned back to the group, smiling and looking moderately bemused, and deciding not to comment on his last statement about Damian not looking so tough.

[Damian]

Stepping between Trinity and mister Time Lord, Damian gives a subtle shake of his head, indicating that they didn't want to push their luck until they knew more about the guy. "I'm sure they didn't give him the original, Trinity. They make copies of copies of copies just to make sure they don't loose it. As for your comment about magic, it is an extraordinary thing, but it's also dangerous in the wrong hands. What's your point?"

The man chuckled as Trinity approached and addressed him. "oh, the Fiesty Little Singer. You're right. They didn't part with it easily" they said amusement evident in his tone.

They looked to Damian "you are terribly wrong. This is the original. The poor women really didn't want to part with it, but in the end they saw..." a chuckle "reason. As for the wrong hands, just want are the wrong hands? And no point, just conversation, or do they not offer that here, in Phoenix Wing? Tsk tsk. You poor boy"



Jarvis nodded, gathering his bag, as well as some water. He kept the Lacrima he had in his hands, ready to use it just in case there was anything wrong, just in case they were attacked. He watched warily, ready to defend as he started towards the titan

Despite Zero's obviously annoyed words, though surprisingly didn't physically resolve it, Karn kept purring happily. Before perking as Melina moved closer, promptly pulling the feminine male into a hug, in which he gladly returned it. Despite how she smelled evidently of rustic blood. Such a odd smell. It drew several different types of instincts. One of which is to run away, and the other to hunt and eat. But of course he ignored them and just happily took the affection he recieved. It really was too bad Zero wasn't much of a hugger. It was quite difficult for Karn to understand why. Even Melina hugged, and a lot of people seemed to be a bit nervous around her.

"Well glad to have you along Bloody Mary!" Karn chirped cheerfully as he released the blood wizard as she momentarily looked around for something before looking to Zero as he spoke about Nolan and Damian.

"Well, it might be because Ashy is a Godslayer. People seem nervous around wizards in general so I guess any slayer gets the most concern. And he seemed pretty tough. But... I don't think he likes me. He freaks out everytime I go near him." The blonde said, pouting a little bit before humming.

"And Dammy looked pretty tough back at the Council and up against that other Godslayer. Maybe you can ask to spar with them sometime to see for yourself. It be good training right?" he suggested cheerfully, emerald eyes watching the stranger, nose twitching a little. He didn't know why, but Karn didn't really like the smell of him. Maybe it was his imagination though.



Listening to the Phoenix Wing members chatter, the blonde couldn't help but let out a laugh at the little girl's explanation. "Well, check that off as most ironic thing this year." they mused before lying on their back, hands behind their head as they rested ontop of the legion.

"Good luck then." they said as they watched the three go with a soft hum.

I feel so pathetic. I can't stand and I'm showing weakness in front of people... Amaya came over helping Lucas up, "I never introduced myself." Lucas said, fighting through his pain which seemed to be past the worst."The names Lucas Ryder. I'm 16 and I use Gildarts magic, Crash magic. If you remember I'm looking for my father." they had walked back to his table that he awoke, still talking. "I was fighting my adopted brother, a real piece of... well you know. He was sending a message from father, to leave here and give up. Can you.... umm... I'm sorry whats your name?" He gave a smile holding out his hand. Lucas's eyes scanned the room, "Is this all your members?"

Amaya helped him sit back down while she listened to him speak of why he was like she found him and who he was" my name is Amaya VanIsis, I prefer not to speak of my magic for personal reasons. As for your family they sound really messed up...no family should act like yours but you need to tell our guild master of your situation when he gets back, I know he can help you. As for your other question, I am going to say most of us recently joined Jamie spoke of the others going on a sort of mission. We can't take on any missions or do much till the others are back"she added Shanghai hand as her skin was cold to the touch as she didn't seem to be freezing.
