Melina sighed, and rolled over the one holding his nose, the only remaining conscious wizard of the ones she had faught. "Tangle with us again, you'll end up dead." Her voice was jolly, but still serious for the individual to know she wasn't joking. "Tell your friends." She let him roll back over before starting to walk towards the town and the mountain. She was just a little worried about being stopped, but she figured she'd probably be able to handle most of the wizards here, if not all of them. She bit her lip for just a moment, before resting one hand on her hip, near where her knife was, and ignoring Mithera.

Mithera, after only a moment, would've flown up into the air like Karn suggested, looking down at the scene. She watched events unfold, as well as for anything that might be coming to knock her out of the sky. She was especially conscious of the latter, she didn't have a smaller form to revert to if she lost a wing or a leg or something.

Trinity smiled sweetly at Alexi as she excused herself. "Oh, darling, you'll do fine. Take a deep breath, hold it for just a moment, and then let it out." While she spoke, she accepted the photo from Sasha, tucking it away into her robes. And then, Lazarus came with a question. Before she could answer, Prince returned and draped himself over Alexi and her, providing his own answer. "That, yes... but I also feel like there are too many unknowns. We don't know his motivation or affiliation. It would be most prudent to travel with a group for this excursion. Even though it might just turn out to be a small vacation..."

Trinity looked to Sasha, then, not bothering to remove the arm from her shoulder. "Well, we need only retrieve our final member, then we may go. That manikin over there. Would you mind collecting him for me?" Sasha seemed eager to go, anyway. Put that energy to good use.

jarvis just shrughed, once more just letting Nero talk, seeming to weigh it, and then shrugged once more. "wishes are wishes because it's want people think they want, instead of seeing what is in front of them. Love, friends, and a place to belong. Wishes can be dangerous, Young Genine. So if you hurt any of those in this guild, you will have to answer to me."

He turned to Amelia and said, quite cheerfully, kindly, "we can get you set up in your own room," he was concerned, hoping that she would be okay.



Penny frowned at Prnce's words. They seemed quite ominous, and Penny didn't like it. Medications? Drop any feeling for Karn? Was he sick? And if so, why hadnt he told anyone? Surely they could help. With Magic, they had to be able to save their friends, otherwise what was the point of having it?

She so hated riddles and conversations that just left more questions then answers. And then the damned cat man just walked off! Without giving her time to say anything.

Time is running quite thin. She didn't like that at all, and prehaps that's what had her virtually stalking towards Prince. Flicking a glance at the others, she crossed her arms over her chest and said "what's wrong with Karn? We can't help him of we don't know. And you can't just say Ll that and then tell me to rest and walk off to go snuggle up to them!"



Sasha looked over at Nero. The man did seemed quite strange, at least by his clothes and mannors. She started to go over as Penny came over, looking back at her sister as she seemed anger at Prince.

Sasha sighed softly, but didn't go back. "excuse me? If you are coming with us, Like Trinity says, then we are leaving soon" she said to Nero

Smiling as he watched the others get ready, before his ears flicked toward the stalking Penny, he chuckled a little and hummed. She seemed a little miffed with his riddles. How amusing. Letting Trinity and Alexi go so he can stand fully straight, putting his hands behind his head as hummed a little. Ears twitching thoughtfully and tail twitching.

"Apologies little fire beauty, but I can't tell you directly. I Chimera promised I'd keep it a secret from any of his little friends, especially a Guild. Then he'll cry sob and pout and that's never fun. You will have to get it out of him if you're really curious. This fellow minstrel does have a little evidence of it. I can smell it." he mused with a soft hum.

Throughout Joshua's rebuke, Nero maintained the habit of constantly snickering to himself in an effort to put the older guy off. A response had been drafted fit to aggravate Joshua even further, but the swordsman's sudden departure assured that he had never been in control of this little debate. "Clown-man? How cruel! At least I'm not a pretentious shitstain. Cowardly, huh? Like pussing out on me?" Nero swore unabashedly. Even if Joshua had remained in hearing range, he wouldn't have escaped the outburst. The amused look on Nero's face, coupled with his words, definitely gave him an edge of madness. "Wonder why our didact there thinks he knows so much about wishes, especially mine. Never worry, my pointed friend, I'll get what I want."

It was with tangible dismay, despite his happy expression, that Nero chewed over the precautions of Jarvis. "Mighty, benevolent protector, are we? People should be allowed to make their own choices! It's almost as important as making their own soup, heehee! If someone wants a wish, I'm here to give it to them. That, and the comedy, though the comedy's free! As for answering to you, well...snails are faster learners than me. So, like Mr. Talk-and-run there, if you want me to be silent, you'll hafta teach me the hard way. Don't pull any punches, though; I'm not afraid of a clean cut with history." Nero's voice had descended to a murmur, oddly serious for a being so enthralled by hilarity. He slurped down the rest of his wine, then turned back to Jarvis, and whispered, "Gonna let you in on a little secret. I'm not gonna be around much longer. My wish is to bring happiness to as many people as I can before my dirt nap. When so many people want to barge in on my wish, a long sleep sounds pretty nice." His voice suddenly rose again, marked with a goofy grin. "But enough whining! You've got business to take care of."

Sasha's entreaty reached him then. "Huh?" he asked, confused. He hadn't heard Jamie's suggestion to Trinity, after all, nor had Trinity previously told him about such a venture. He was, however, not at all opposed to getting out of the guild hall and away from other people. The beauty of Sasha, and her sheer unattainability, did not deter him now. "Oh, sure!" Unceremoniously he stuffed the Horned One back in his pouch and stood up. "Where are we going, then?"

Her head shot up when she heard Jamie talking about magic. Could he really sense magic? She hasn't heard it from anyone else that they sensed her magic. Well she hasn't spoken to many people who use magic yet. Maybe they all could do it, or only the ones that were powerfull enough. She kept silently listening to Jamie as he went on. Her hearth skipped a beat when she clearly heard what he was saying about bad experiences. The life in her eyes seemed to fade as she somewhat dropped her head letting the darkness of the shadow from the lamp above them cover a part of her face "Your wrong." She strictly said, her eyes were staring into blank space. Her voice was monotone and louder then normal. It didn't sound like her ussual self like it came out somewhat forced. It was always hard for her to talk about these things to others whenever it was about family, super powers or death and many other subjects. She let Jamie finish his talking as she was still sitting in the same pose the whole time "Everything is fine, i've been living as homeless long enough to know how to survive on the streets. My magic has never been out of control before and it will never go out of control. I already have a steady food supply and my place to sleep is isolated. It's impossible to offer me something like this. It's already to late for me to live with any others." She tilted her head up slightly to get the shadow off her face as she looked directly looked into Jamie his eyes with a cold stare. This was tottally different from the shy squirmy girl she ussually was "So" she jumped down from the chair landing softly on her feet "I suppose i'll take my leave now. Unless you want to discuss something else."

Penny didn't like being stymied, nor did she like this answer that wasn't an answer. But what could she do? Short of taking off, and searching for where Karn had gone off on, she couldn't do anything.

Except that, of course.

"A promise that could lead to death isn't a promise" She said bitterly, and turned away, walking to the bar. She would get something to eat, and then head out.

"It's just being an incredibly sucky friend""

She grabbed some of the food that Jarvis had prepared, and sat down at the bar, grabbing a drink as well, she dwned that down in three big gulps, before focusing on the food.



"Then perhaps you should stop ticking people off, and maybe you'll find things more pleasant. And ask yourself this, have any of your wishes actually been greeted with gratitude, or have people just not been as happy as you wished?" Jarvis said, moving from behind the bar, to Amelia.

"Come on, I'll show you the rooms available" he said to her with a smile, leading the way upstairs, and into the hallway of dorm rooms. He nodded to the ones that were open, "These ones are free, so chose wwhch one you want"



Sasha wasn't too sure what to think of this strange person. She was wary, he was an unknown, and Sasha wouldn't put any trust in him, until he showed that they could trust him. He seemed a little derragned.

"We're going to Baslam village, to check out the forever magazine staff. Make sure they are okay" She said, moving to head back towards the others, she looked over her shoulder,

"Something about a guy obtaining a photo from them with blood on it" she shrugged, looking back to Trinity, Alexi and Lazarus.



Jamie sighed softly. letting Ayame speak, and then staying silent for a few moments, before replying, "Everyone of my guild members probably at one point or another thought it was too late to live with anyone. Thought that they could go on, without anyone else, but all of them, found their way here, in one way or another"

Jamie looked to a photo, of Jarvis and herself, at the beginning of the guild. And then, to another photo that needed to be updated, of the members of phoenix wing. And then back to Ayame.

"the offer always stands. You can join this guild, or any other. I can make sure you will be accepted in any light guild of your choosing. You can go. I'm not going to force you o stay"

Rose Yashia

rose smiled running a hand through elyse's hair checking her ends to see if she needed a trim." The wing is the tall building way over ther- I sense jarvy and the others are finally back..let's go see them and get your toy" said Rose lifting elyse on to her Hip as she opened a portal of her own shadow walking through it. She first went to a local toy maker letting elyse choose a toy before she opened another portal. She choose to open it in Joshua's shadow just to mess with him as he was o.e of the few she actually enjoyed to tick off just because he is funny when he's angry, or at least to her he was but then again she still has her darker side of her personality. Rose leaned forward slightly before saying" boo". She was quick to sink back in the shadows and reappeared back at the guild secretly watching his reaction with her shadows. She sat Elyse at the bar before going behind it getting her a simple Strawberry milkshake as her reward.

Prince simply chuckled at Penny's words, unfazed by them. "A promise is technically a declaration or assurance someone either does or doesn't do a particular thing. Death doesn't exclude that, after all, plenty promise to kill someone. And a Chimera promise is that, except the one who breaks it gets eaten. So Ya know. Now now, no need to go changing around definitions and calling names just cause your frustrated darling. I did tell you basically what is wrong, but I suppose your not up for anything but a straight answer. Pity. Plus, it's quite not nice to pry in another's business when the one discussing about is away. That would make us gossiping school girls." The feline chuckled, ears flicking as he listened to other conversations.

"Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to ask him yourself. But another hint I can give. Whatever happened to his other self in that other land, will mirror here. But do not fret, for they are Phoenixs, and Phoenixs are famous for one thing." he hummed before turning to the others and moving, popping up behind Nero.

"Goodie, Mr. Genie is joining us on our little adventuuuuuuure! Onward thy scurvy crew!" Prince sing songed before strutting out of the Guild, having to duck again under the doorway. Although he went ahead, he was pretty much just constantly moving his feet by dancing about and humming.

Trinity looked up as she felt Prince depart from her shoulder. Penny was upset with him... something about Karn's illness. So it's something longstanding, then? And something Karn knows about. She already figured that, though.

He could smell the blood from the gloves. The minstrel motions for Alexi to come along and starts out after the cat. She moves to catch up to him, lightly pinching his side to get his attention. "Hey, Kitty, do you know how to get stubborn stains out of silk?"

Joshua completely blocked Nero out, not caring about the jester's comments. Really, why had he even bothered. He didn't get too far out of the guild when an unfamiliar voice appeared behind him and said 'boo', causing him to turn around while grabbing the hilt of his sword. When he saw no one, he muttered to himself and continued walking.



Amelia got up from the bar and followed Jarvis to the room, after the red lights around her returned to her wings. She didn't seem to be getting any better and rather, like she was getting worse. By the time they reached the room, all she did was nod when he told her to choose. Thankfully though, Ellis showed up and picked up her daughter. Giving Jarvis a nod, she took Amelia into one of the room and closed the door behind her. After a few minutes, the spirit came out and closed the door with a sigh.
"She's asleep for now. This happens every time she summons those elementals. I think it's a side effect of those wings. I'd have tried to remove them while I was still alive but they're a part of her body now. To remove them would probably be as painful as when they were added." She said to Jarvis, looking concerned."I don't even know what those wings even belonged to, or if their natural in the slightest."



"NEW TOY, NEW TOY!" Elyse shouted happily as Rose warped them away and to the local toy shop. She took several minutes before selecting a red stuffed octopus, thinking it looked funny. When Rose warped them to the guild and placed her at the bar only to give her an additional award of a strawberry milkshake, the little girl let out a delighted squeal before taking the shake and walking around the guild while drinking it, looking for Jamie so she could show off her new toy.

[Damian]

Damian didn't get a chance to reply before Karn had bounded off, so he looked towards the three approaching mages he could sense. At least A rank, and high A at that. I can probably handle it, buy Zero time to get to his...I don't know that I can say that. Guess it's a side effect of being raised by my birth parents. Right then, focus. Talking over his shoulder, he faces the on coming mages. "I'll buy you guys time from here. Keep the more powerful mages focused on me so you can reach this Hemlock."

Following suit in with Karn's abrupt departure, Damian takes off up the mountain, waiting until he was in range before slamming both swords into the ground and summoning a wave of rising swords. "You will go no farther. This village is under the protection of Phoenix Wing. You cause anymore damage, and I'll repay it to you ten fold."

Sayuri

Sighing she sits up and looks around. Sighing she stands and stretches, 'Well I'm probably not too necessary here and this being my fir- no second time in Magnolia I should probably get the lay of the land. Besides Jamie'll send someone to get me if I'm really needed,' she quickly turns and walks out the doors. Walking down the steps she notices a girl laying on the steps. Frowning she walks over to the girl and kneels down next to her, "Hey, are you alright?" she shakes her shoulder lightly, "Hey wake up. This is no place to sleep."

Sayuri disturbing her she opened her eyes a bit. Her head was spinning and she rolled over, trying to get up. The words didn't quite register in her brain. All she knew was to get away. Efforts to rise failed though and she couldn't get up. "I need... to get away. Too many magics here. I can feel them." Trying to get up again she managed to sit. She wasn't looking all that great. Almost like she was sick and extremely tired.

@Demous

"...for they are Phoenixs, and Phoenixs are famous for one thing"

That gave Penny pause, and she put down the folk loaded with food, and she bowed her head, so that she was looking at the bar itself. She swallowed the mouthful of food she had, and let the memory flow.

Flash Back

She was sixteen. And she was in the bloody freezing cold, wearing nothing but the clothes she had fled the house in, fled her "Father". Fled the cold, empty house that hadn't been a home since her mother had died. Been beaten to death, Penny knew that now. And so she had fled.

But she could have bloody gone somewhere warmer. She might run hot, but this was damn freezing. She was shaking, and wishing she had thought to snag a jacket on her way out. And maybe some food. Berries and stuff was all very good, but what she wouldn't give to manage to hunt a rabbit or something.

How long had she been running for? A couple of days, at the least. And why had she run to the cold? Because her birth mother was this way, she knew that. Maybe, she could find a home again.

Which wasn't going to happen if she didn't bloody get up, out of the snow. But she was cold, so tired, and so hungry. Her eyes closed on their own accord, and she was out of it before she could even understand that.

She woke up warm, and in what appeared to be a cave. She blinked, and went to move, but found that she had actually been Swaddled in what appeared to be a massive blanket.

"You were foolish, child. what did you expect to do, walking around like you were?" She jolted, but the damn swaddling locked her up, as she looked about, seeing a man sitting on a large rock, a fire in between them, watching her, almost curiously.

"Trying to find...home" She muttered, looking away, "And I'm not a child. I'm sixteen"

The man laughed, a sound that was quite...musical despite the mans size. Penny found herself drawn to that sound, and she looked over at the man. "Oh, you are still a child, Child. Just old enough to think you are an adult, but still young enough that you are a child" The man had kind, green eyes, with specks of yellow in them, and Penny found herself staring at them. His hair, a startling red, flopped over them.

She frowned over his words, and then after a moment or two, said "Who are you?"

the man smiled, and it completely transformed his face, making it appear younger, and more...joyful. "I, dear child, am Solias. May I have your name, as well?"

Penny debated this for a moment or two, before she said "Penelope. Or Penny, rather" She said softly.

"Well, Penny, why didn't you use your magic to keep you warm?"

Penny looked towards Solias, blinking, wondering just what she had got herself into. Even though she had had nothing to do with being in this situation. "How did you know about my magic?" She asked, eventually, eyes narrowing.

"Because, dear child, I sense it in you. Phoenix Slayer Magic.It intrigues me you don't seem to have any formal training in it. No Phoenix has taught you this magic. So, how did you come by it?" Solias did indeed seem quite curious, and eager for her answer.

"I just learned fire magic by myself" She muttered, looking away. it meant nothing to her, this title of magic. She strained against the blanket, and then gave a frustrated cry, before igniting the blanket.

It just caused Solias to laugh, again.

She was just growing more and more frustrated at this. "And Just how do you know what it is?"

"because, dear child, I am a phoenix"

She snorted, and sitting up, looked over at him, annoyed at this joking. Seemed like this was all just a joke, all just nothing. For if Phoenix's existed, then surely the world would be different to what it was. "You're a man, not a Phoenix" She said, letting her annoyance show in her voice.

Solias just smiled, in clear joy. And then, he seemed to be engulfed in flames, appearing as one of the Firey birds of legend. And Penny gave a cry, leaped back on the bed she had woken up on, and Solias returned to what was evidently his human form, chuckling with clear amusement.

End FLash back

Penny stared at her food, not moving, as the memory flashed through her. Solisa was the reason why she disliked riddles so much, why she hated it when people danced around the truth. Always speaking in riddles, Solias had been annoying as hell, even if he had been informative on her magic.

Not that she had ever used it. Slaying Phoenix's had never been something she wanted to do. Solias might have been annoying, but he was an all around good guy. She didn't see the need for that magic. Now, she did. If only, she had the sort of magic that could help heal others, that side of Phoenix Magic seemed denied her.

But she could hunt a Phoenix down.

She pushed off from the bar, and headed to her room, changing clothes, shoving a warm parka into a pack with some other things, then went back downstairs. but along the way, she bumped into Jarvis.



Jarvis appeared thoughtful, and he said softly, slowly, as if the idea was something he didn't truly understand himself. "Have you ever actually considered that she needs to accept them, as both apart of herself, and apart of her magic?" he sighed softly, wishing he knew more, or could do more.

"if we could find any of the ones that are apart of putting them on her we might have some answers"

As Penny joined them, she seemed in a hurry, as she quickly said "Sorry. Can you tell the master I'm heading out, and don't know when I'll be back?" She didn't even wait for an answer, running down the stairs.

Jarvis blinked, and looked back to Ellis, "it could also be as simple as the fact that they take a large amount of energy to summon. If one uses too much magic in one go, a sickness can occur"



Sasha looked around the guild, as if glad to be home, and weary to be leaving it so soon. But this was something she had to do, so she would. She stretched, and moved to head out the guild.

She still hadn't removed the Guild mark, and she didn't know if she was going to remove the guild mark that connected her to her Edolas Self.

"SHall we go?"

Ayame heard Jamie out as the life and color in her eyes returned again. The pose she was standing in became a little more awkward when she returned to senses. She folded her hands on top of her lap as she kept silently listening to him. There wasn't much to add to Jamies speech. She wanted to be with Nero some more and maybe Trinity and Ariel. But something in her mind rejected that she could live with others again. Her soft normal voice sounded again "You're not forcing me to stay it's just..." She looked the other way being silent for a while "Sorry it's to hard to say." She turned silent again and walked towards the door with her head low "Thank you for the kind offer." It was hard to say and her face was full of regret as she walked outside again. The presence of all the other members didn't even get her attention as she was deep in thought of Jamie his words. She had been walking aimlessly around the guild before realising that she had to find Nero again. She looked about the guild and the look on her face immediatly changed. She quickly walked over to one of the tables and hided besides the short side. She had seen Nero sitting at the bar but it was way to crowded for her to get over there without crying like a little baby. All the other people in the guild looked to scary in Ayames eyes to approache, so she was by herself again, stuck in the spot. Her eyes caught hold of a small blond head bopping around the guild. Two hearts popped up at the place her eyes were suppose to be. The first sight of the small blond girl got her attention. The blonde was walking all alone the guild making it an easy pray to catch. She sprinted over to the girl almost hurting her knees over the floor as she dropped herself nect to the girl wrapping her hands around the warm small girl her body. She was affectionaly rubbing her still dirty cheek against hers as she kept tightening the hug. A big wide smile was shown on her face. It had been some time that she smiled so hard and it was hard not to notice by the other guild members what was happening on the spot.

(To lazy to edit)

Ellis shook her head.
"The council had that group's base raided years ago. Every mage in the group was killed while those they experimented on were taken away and given new homes. I was in that group and I was the one that found Amelia." Ellis said, looking thoughtful." I only know of one other person who went through the experiments like Amelia. A young man, probably in his early to mid-twenties. He was the only other one with a pair of wings. Ones that resembled a pair of bat wings, as if they were trying to make him some sort of demon. I think they even changed his eyes. They were a bright yellow color. According to the records I found, Amelia originally had green eyes but they changed some time after she got her wings."

Letting out a frustrated sigh, Ellis gave Jarvis a concerned look.
"The only two leads you got are whatever remains of their base and that man or any other survivors. The Counsil will likely had kept records on them, to keep track of them. Outside of that, I can offer nothing else on the matter."



Elyse was till looking for Jamie and enjoying her strawberry milkshake when someone suddenly came up behind her and grabbed ahold of her, causing her to drop her shake. Still being just a child, the young girl instantly panicked and reacted the only way she knew how.
"MOMMY! JAMIE!" She shouted in a fearful voice, cutting above all the noise around them in that way only children could. Probably not helping Ayame gain any positive points, the little girl began crying, partially out of fear and partially because of her spilt shake.

Sayuri

She keeps her hand on the girls shoulder as she sits up she frown more seeing how unwell she looked, 'Too many... Magics... Oh! She must be able to sense magic. The large number of people in the hall must have be too much! she shifts so she's kneeling in front of the girl, "Hey, you want to get away from the guildhall? I was gonna take a look around the city I'll take you with me," she pauses and thinks for a second, "Or would you rather the forest?"

@t2wave

“Wait! Karn!” Zero called out quickly, but it was a bit too late. Karn was off and now… Well… Now he was just sighing. He barely got a chance to think further as Damian ran off next telling him he would be time. “But wait! Gah!” Zero grabbed his hair, gripping tightly in frustration fighting his growing urge to begin pulling. He could tell the enemy was separated, but for one thing… Oh great. Now he had to go and see if his assumption was correct.

--------------------------------------------------------

Uriel chuckled lightly as his eyes met the golden eyes of the group’s fifth partner. “Sorry. But not yet. I’m sure it’ll all be handled fairly soon.” He spoke calmly as eh descended slightly and hovered just over the ground, his wings flapping ever so gently every so often. “Those two aren’t the most dependable, but they are still quite good at what they do. And they’re much more intelligent than they might seem.” He added as he glanced at Karn. “Now, do tell. Is this young person part of the group who are apparently trying to throw off our plans?” He asked looking Karn up and down.

“Also, are they a boy or a girl?” He then asked tilting his head slightly as though to try and figure it out. Uriel was calm. Perhaps too calm. He had no worries for the plan and he was actually finding some a amusement here. It was evident by his lax conversation starting and the open questioning of his apparent enemy with no regard to how it might look or be interpreted. He was by no means underestimating them after all. He just wasn’t overestimation them.

--------------------------------------------------------

Maki stopped and huffed standing just behind the rest of the underlings present as Damian created his wave of rising sword. Most weren’t caught or were able to collaboratively mount a defense, but a few still ended up injured because of it. “You’re one of the idiots who are going to get in our way aren’t you?!” She cried out. To her this was an outrage. How dare anyone try to stop what they were doing. And who cared if one village got a little messed up. Someone was trying to keep collateral damage low. She thought… Maybe they weren’t. It wasn’t her problem!

“It knew it!” Zero shouted as he came up beside Damian. “How the hell do I go ahead if you block the mountain path they were coming from? Obviously, that’s the way to get to the source of the problem.” Zero barked before sighing. He figured Damian could handle these guys, though numbers were on their side. And there was a bit more strength around them than one would expect.

“And now there’s another one!” Maki whined.

“Shut up!” Zero shouted. “So Mr. S-Class.” Zero mumbled. “I can go ahead if you let me and bulldoze a bit of the fodder too. But the swords need to come down. Besides… I’m sniffing a bit more trouble near Karn than there is here for you.” He explained. “But I think Melina can help that one out.” He chuckled.

@Zarkun@Silver Fox@Burthstone

Jamie was about to ollow Ayame out, but stopped, changing back to his normal form and quickly riffling through papers and things on his desk. when she heard the screaming of Elyse, Jamie darted out the office, looking about fearfully, but seeing Elyse being hugged by Ayame. Jamie releaxed slightly, but still was by Elyse's side in a few quick steps.

"it's okay, Elyse Ayame is a friend. Your cuteness probably overwhelmed here" but Jamie nevertheless gently extracted Elyse from Ayame's grip, giving her a hug, hoping to sooth. "maybe next time, approach her from the front" Jamie said kindly to Ayame. Seeing the split shake, Jamie said "How about we see about another shake? Maybe Ayame will want one too" Jamie smiled, hoping that everything was going to be okay.



Jarvis sighed, unsure what avenue to take now. "Well, one way or another, the council will be here shortly. although I doubt they will be inclined to share the records with us. I'd like to keep Amelia away from them, so hopefully they will be gone before she wakes" He went to start downstairs, to return to the bar. "They never should have tried to do what they did to her. Creating new magic is hard enough, but doing what they did..." he sighed again.
