The return of Nolan heralded a bright look from Fleo, though this expression contained more depth than her commonplace happiness. Whether from within, from the visage of sand-pitted Reezun, or from the tale imparted to her, she'd stoked up a new fire. With three comrades at her side, she would be completing her first job in no time, and not with the mindless earnestness characteristic of most first-timers either, thanks to the warnings of old Hemwick.

While the horses, plain as they were, delighted Fleo, she knew that there was no time to spend stroking their noses or scratching their necks. Using a tiny Sirocco to boost her up and negate the obstacle of her own height, Fleo mounted one of the horses. Only once before had she ridden, but the confidence that beat within her heart assured her that it'd be easy. So focused on dredging up what snippets of memory she could about riding was Fleo that she almost forgot to share her newly-acquired information with the others.

“I heard about the guy we're going after from this cool old dude named Hemwick. Obviously, the rogue is crazy, and definitely violent, but not sadistic. When he came by Reezun he was ranting about some sort of monster...some sort of awful, watery thing who's invisible most of the time. Apparently the rogue's guild had become aware of the thing and tried to capture it, if sense could be made out of his ramblings. From there the details are pretty shaky, but the rogue was terrified that the thing was 'coming after him to finish the job'. I wonder if that means this monster was what killed his guild? If, uh, it exists. Might be the guy's just a loony. Are we heading off now?” Fleo, ever hungry to experience new and interesting things, couldn't help but consider the rogue mage's case with intrigue, and whether or not this would affect her fighting ability remained to be seen.



As Prince slimed languidly to the floor, taking up a fair share of the carriage's horizontal real estate, Nero smirked. Even someone who tended to disregard authority and propriety, as the genie admitted with reluctance that he himself was wont to do, it took a fair share of feline possessiveness to impose in such a manner on a public place. People with the semblances of animals were rather rare of Fiore, but they wore away at Nero's cheer to no end. Aside from being immune to the Law of Atavism, they tended to digress so remarkably from the discernible bounds of human nature. That sort of unpredictability certainly eroded at the inner peace of one who craved feeling in control of the situation.

It took a pinch of self-restraint, a healthy dose of remembrance concerning Nero's physical abilities, and a smattering of wishful thinking to keep from planting a palm on Prince's nose when he mimed what looked to the genie like a window opening in front of his face. Though Nero stood remarkably far away from white knightdom, the catman's following commentary on Sasha's looks, coupled with his flirtatious advance, ruffled his feathers. What a creep! Do girls let him get away with this ogling because he's handsome? If I were to act like that, they'd clap me in irons! And then they'd bleed internally, of course, but that's beside the point No trace of bitter thought wormed its way onto his smile, however, as he responded to Sasha with gusto now that animals were concerned. “Mockingbird!Brown tops, white bottoms, and the most talented voices of all birds! They so masterfully mimic the songs of others that they let their own songs lie buried, true secrets to the world! I'd love to come back as a mockingbird. Maybe with more research...oh, and the Horned One is indeed a goat. Well, kind of. Here...”

Nero pulled the stuffed toy from his pouch and presented it in all its adorable, misshapen hideousness. “I was so proud the day I got him! Took me, like, a week to track him down. It was a tough fight, but I got 'im in the end!” Of his little plush the genie seemed inordinately proud, seemingly implying either there was more to it than met the eye, or less to his sanity.

Next came Lazarus's reply, and Nero was only too pleased to rattle off a rebuke to that, in a manner that spoke heavily of gibing. His mention of the unidentified watcher went ignored for now. “White...the color of marble, the crumbling legacy of the ancients! The color of swans, graceful but fragile! And of clouds, huge but insubstantial. All so gorgeously idyllic, but detached, and...devoid. Fascinating! Tehee.”

Finally, Nero elected to give the nondescript intruder his warranted attention, though he could not stop himself from laughing out loud at Prince's continued flirtations. Once the realization came that Prince, like him, was merely trying to get a rise out of the others for amusements' sake, it was a lot easier to smile at his ridiculous display of poor manners. In fact, what began as a contemptuous rivalry rapidly morphed into a game, though Nero suspected that to win someone had to be obnoxious enough to get kicked out of a moving train. No matter—he was up for it. But now it was Prince's turn, so Nero patiently waited to see how the stranger reacted, and to see if Sasha would knee Prince in the chin for his invasion of her personal space. Given the general attitude of women of the brand Nero judged her to be, she couldn't possibly stand for it.

@Silver Fox@YipeeXD@CirusArvennicus@Lugubrious

Nero seemed quite...strange. It made her feel uneasy. As he showed the goat thing, she shivered, wondering just where he had gotten it, and what, exactly, it was. There was something here, something strange, that made her wary of Nero. "um. That's very....uh Nice?"

Sasha nodded at Trinity, "I know. I just feel like there's so many people I haven't met yet." she smiled, but was then shocked as Prince pretty much tried to crawl into her lap, despite being a lot taller then Sasha herself.

"Erm"

Sasha nudged Prince, feeling that he was deliberately trying to provoke Lazarus. He seemed like such a cheeky cat. Did he have the attitude of a cat, as wel as the aspects of one? As he purred Sasha giggled. Was he a cat, that had been transformed into a human, or a human that had been transformed into a cat? The purring was kinda cute. "Cheeky kitty" She said with amusement, and smiled at Lazarus when he looked at her.

But the smile faded as the stranger came over, "Look, sir, I don't know you, but I'm pretty sure the only living sibling I have is my sister. I don't know if you are playing some kind of sick, but you need to explain yourself" Pain was evident in her voice, as she thought of Ben, hoping that all was well in Edolas.

She stared at the stranger, waiting for an answer.


@Joshua Tamashii @Amaya Tamashii

Jamie sighed softly, wishing things weren't so complicated at the moment. "Nap in bed. I won't let anything happen with Elyse, Except sugar overload" he said, holdin gout candy to both Elyse and Ayame. But at the voice, Jamie turned about, stepping so she was in front of bother Ayame and Elyse.

"Get out of my guild" She said furiously, the wall of wind forming, protectively, around Elyse. and Ayame.

Jarvis, just coming in, sensed the danger, and at once, lacrima activated, and Jarvis held one in his hand,one that might be familiar looking as a prison lacrima.

Jamie gave a slight nod,and it was clear the two of them worked well, and didn't need much in the way of communication.

Rose was about to dooze off at the bar for a nap when a voice from her past sent a huge chill down her spine. She immediately shot up from her seat tipping it over before quickly turning to the voice "Don't call me 'Rosey' you parasite...What are you doing here Death? Wheres Mr Casanova or does he go by the nane I gave him now?"She commented moving from the bar over towards the girl stopping on the opposite side of the table " as for whether the girl is my daughter or not, that is none of your business..."she snapped towards the masked girl. One could tell by how defensive and on guard Rose was could tell she knew the woman.


"Master Jamie, let me handle her just make sure no one interfers..." She simply said clearly restraining herself from acting the woman for even being in the guildhall and acting so casual as if not worried.

Lazarus

The Cat man infuriated Lazarus. He held his tongue however, allowing Sasha to deal with it. Silence fell When the strange man came over. "We weren't staring friend. We were just curious about you." He stated his intent, and it surprised him. He pondered for a moment. Sasha was getting worked up. "Sasha." He leaned across and touched her. "Look at him. I saw your brother just once. Can you not see anything?" He paused. "Pull that hood off and explain yourself boy." He glared.

Shujin

The ice mage responded. "Hello Sasha. My name is Shujin. I am your brother." He paused for a long time. "I wasn't raised by the same parents as you, my... our biological parents." He pulled his hood off and smiled, his blue eyes icy as frost. "I'm not here to be a family. I just wanted to meet you." He smiled again. "It was so difficult to find out about you. The public record for our family history has been blacked out." He sighed. "It is good to see you..." He paused again. Looking at them. He laughed a little. "You don't believe me do you?.. I already found out about our little brother. I never even knew him. I despise our parents for not giving me that opportunity."

"WOW, you really have fallen, Black Rose. Back in the day, we would think you would've killed us by now." Death said, the tone of her voice making it very obvious she was smirking behind her mask." But we're not here for you. You're just a little bonus. Not only that, but we can tell Chaos he has a daughter after... oh, we suppose that's a story for you to tell them from the sounds of it.

Anyway, we have what we came for."

Death held up her hand, from which she held a locket. Only Jarvis would recognize the locket as Amelia's though.
"You know, giving us so long to study your security was a bad idea. Scaring her was easy. Hurting her in her current state was easier." She said, tossing the locket to the bar." We would take her as we were ordered, but she would prove to be of little entertainment for our employer. You should train her and make her a better fighter. Our boss could use a decent fight."

[James]

The shrill sound of metal leaving it's sheath echoed through the guild hall as James stepped forward, an offensive spell in his off hand. "It would be both my pleasure and my duty to send this dark one to her place in hell. Simply say the word, Master Jamie." His helmet had formed and his shield was poised to slide into place. But he wasn't going to be an instigator without cause, though this woman had aptly provided reason.

@Joshua Tamashii
Your right we have never really hung out but yeah I'm Angelo and if I'm not mistaken your Josh. Don't worry I'll spring for the transport as long as you make sure we are going the right way." Angelo said to him not minding paying for the travel expenses but Angelo had a poor sense of direction without mark so keeping them going in the right direction would be josh's job on the trip.

Sasha shrugged away from Lazarus touch, gently, but she didn't want to be soothed, didn''t want to be calmed. She was tired of secrets, tired of being hidden in the dark, and tired overall. And so tired of things like this happening to her. Her heart ached, pain at the mention of her parents, at Ben causing it to ache.

And then he said he despised her parents.

"Despise them? They are dead!" Sasha rose quickly, anger across her features, her words full of violence "Dead! You wouldn't have got to know him anyway! You wouldn't know his smile, or laugh, how eager he is to be considered anything but a child! You wouldn't know, and neither would I, except for Edolas! You have no right to Despise them! NO right at all1! You don't know anything! I wasn't raised by them, because they died! I wasn't raised by anyone, and you come here, and say you despise them, say you don't want a family, that you weren't given a chance? I watched Ben die! I saw my mother and father sink under the water, and drawn! And you just say that you just wanted to meet me? OF course I don't bloody believe you! "Just wanted to meet me"? "Don't want a family"?" She shook her head, realising that she was shaking, that she didn't care, that tears threatened to fall.

Her mothers face floated in front of her mind, her kind eyes, her sad eyes, and the tears did fall. She wiped them away angrily. What hadn' tshe known? What had her mother, her father kept from her? First Penny, and now Shujin? With a horrible lurch, Sasha realised there was something else her mother, her father had hidden. Something that was reasonable for their history to be blacked out.

Something that Shujin might just know. "Of course it's black out. All the lines that can be traced back to Fairy Tail have been, for their own safety" The words left her abused throat in a whisper, as she looked at Shujin. Did he know? How, when Sasha had only figured it out that morning? "What do you want from me?" She demanded. For she knew that Penny's line wouldn't be blackout, that Shujin could have found Penny easier, because it was her father's line that could be traced back to Fairy tail, and not her mothers. So that left that he wanted something from her. "Why come now, why approach me like this?"



"I can't promise that, Rose" Jamie said, as the woman spoke. Jamie merely appeared relaxed, and as she finished speaking about their security, he smiled with amusement. Did this woman thn for even a moment that Jamie would have more then onesecurity option?

Then she held out the locket, and Jamie saw Jarvis's face. Fury and fear, something Jamie had rarely sen on her friends face, something she had seen only a handful of times before. "Jarvi=" but it was too late. Jarvis was already moving towards the woman, clearly to attack



The fear swirled around inside Jarvis at Amelia's locket. Worry, and fury were there as well, but fear had a clutch on his heart. Before he even new what he was doing, he was charging towards the woman, who had, he suspected, hurt Aelia. Who had, he suspected, had a part on the wings that were now a part of her. Why hadn't her spirit's protected her? Why hadn't Jarvis thought to any lacrima around Amelia, anything to warn him if something happened?

"Leave her alone" he growled, smashing the lacrima at the womans feet, the prison lacrima shattering, and than light flashed, as Jarvis held out a hand, waiting for the filled Lacrima to enter his hand, with the woman inside of it.

Lazarus

He simply watched. A lot of new information was being thrown onto the table. "Your father was associated with fairy tail?" He asked.

Shujin

He sighed and looked away. He rummaged around in his pocket for an abnormal long time and pulled out a metal pendant. It bore the fairy tail insignia. "This was a good hint. According to my family, It was left at the door with me. I was taken back but I wasn't claimed." His voice tone became more vicious. "Our parents didn't love me." He paused, his voice quivering. "You are my closest biological relative that is still alive." He raised his head up and looked at her with big blue eyes. "Don't let me be alone again. I just want to know you."

"I really wish i didnt agree to this..i am so out of my element and at a strong disadvantage since ice water is almost non existent here"amaya complained to herself having to take off her winter coat along her black dress with a white sheer top layer show itself "bad choice of clothing..smooth move amaya they will definatly figure out your secret...man zero would murder me for taking this job where i am at a disadvantage"she said sighing to herself adjustong her hood, hoping she was not going to be too badly burnt while she walked around the town;shortly finding her group. She listened to nolan and floe speak while she quickly mounted her horse taking a deep breath.



"Jacquine...You can tell Lucus, Choas or whatever he calls himself that if he steps foot near my child, I won't hold back like before..." Rose trailed off when she saw the locket as well as seeing Jarvis's reaction @@Rose was taken by supruse to see Jarvis move forward. She quickly backed up some covering her eyes from the flash of light. " I hope it works..."she whispered to herself removing her hands from her eyes to see the end result

Death didn't react when Jarvis charged her and threw the lacrima at her feet. She had just enough time to hear Rose speak before she found herself in the alternate dimension inside the prison lacrima. Now she had to break out and show that upstart woman her place. Prison lacrima where no different then any other holding cell, just more magical in nature and tougher to break out of. But it was possible to break out, given you could figure out how. And she had plenty of experience in breaking out of this kind of prison.

Outside, Jarvis would only be able to gloat over his victory for about three minutes before the lacrima shattered and there was another flash of light.
"You should know better then to call us by that name, Roseletta Yashia." Death said as she reappeared in the spot she had vanished from. Her tone was still calm but there was a bit of a bite to it this time, letting her anger be known." Our name is JACK. Not Jaquelin."

Death raised her hand to her mask and gently removed it. The mask must've been magical, as the moment it left her face, it looked like a plain of glass shattered around her. She grew a few inches shorter and her black hair turned to a silvery white color. Her black dress, which would've proved hard to move in, became simpler, slightly more revealing, and looked much less restrictive. Her face would've been considered beautiful by many but that was probably the last thing on Jamie, Jarvis, James, and Rose's minds right now. Her eyes moved over each of them, studying them like an animal sizing up their prey. All around the room, an inch of mist began forming, obscuring the floor.
"Which one of you wants to die first?"



"Well, seems like we'll both be getting lost then. I'm a foreigner, I know this land about as well as I know you. Doesn't the accent tell you that?" Joshua said, acknowledging that he knew full well he had said accent, a mix of a far northern and far eastern one." I don't even have a grasp of your everyday customs. For all I know, the customs I saw in Edolas might be completely different from here. For all I know, sudden trips to Edolas might be almost more common then I think. Just rather unexpected."

@Joshua Tamashii
Angelo soon took the paper from Josh reading it seeing it was in the resort so he nodded a little "alright don't worry I know where this is. I really want this reward believe me you haven't lived til you relaxed in a resort" Angelo said grinning add he gave back the paper and started to lead the way to one of the trains that would take them to the resort

Sayuri Takashi

Sayuri glances over at Cathris then back at Ariel with a raised eyebrow, "That's a rather interesting magic there... Personality based on elements... her smiles at Ariels transformation before turning and looking at Carthis before frowning, "Not on the friendly side of the law? So you guys are a Dark Guild? What would a Dark Guild want with Phoenix Wing? For that matter why would you tell us that? I'm not exactly someone you want to tell that to..." she shifts slightly to be able to reacts quicker.

@Burthstone@t2wave

Melina activated Blood Queen form as she approached where Karn and the two wizards were, and she used her scythe to vault into the air and attempt to slash at the flying one, anticipating missing. When she hit the ground she would quickly turn so she had both of them in her sight, and preparing for another strike. "Karn, pick one and I'll get the other, alright?" She shouted, glancing at him for only a moment.

@Silver Fox@Demon Shinobi

Serma looked over Ariel slowly, completely caught off guard by the girls sudden transformation. After a moment she approached the now-dressed-in-white girl and looked her over. "Never seen magic like that before..." She murmured, before the red-haired girl started talking again, and she tensed up some, looking over. She noticed the stance change, and had to stop herself from matching it.

"Please don't say dark guild... It makes it sound so mean. We're a family, just like you, and I was sent here to deliver the message that my guild master was going to come here with a few others of us to ask about one of our members who has been missing for a while now. I, uhm, saw her going into Phoenix Wing the other night using my magic, so we thought you guys might know where she was going... Oh! And we haven't introduced ourselves! Silly me... I'm Serma Cathris." She held out her hand to Sayuri, though she did look worried. "I really don't want to fight, regardless of what you may think of my guild."

@t2wave@Demous

Sayuri seed to identify a rather important detail about how Ariel's persona worked. While she herself had noticed some differences it was fantastic that someone else seemed to confirm it. This being only her third appearance she wanted to say something when things started getting heated. Thankfully it didn't look like there was going to be a fight. Even if she was revitalized Ariel didn't really feel like dealing with such a thing. Enjoying her new upbeat attitude sounded much better.

Stepping between the two she tried to get Sayuri to calm down a bit. "Now now, let's not get too hasty. Maybe we can help her find her friend." Turning around to Cathris she tried to reassure the girl. "Maybe if we knew more about your friend. A name or maybe what she looks like. I'm new so I might not know off the top of my head but I could look."

@Demous@Burthstone

Penny hadn't yet left the city, so when her Lacrima 'buzz' she was able to respond. She took of into the air, and was at Pheonix wing in minutes. She studying the building for a moment, at the roof that was being dismantled by builders and their Magic, before landing straight through the roof. She crouched, absorbing the impact just in time to hear

"Which one of you wants to die first?"

She rose and said "I guess that would be me" she looked over her should at Master Jamie, and smiled"if you don't mind, Master. I'll take the trash out. I suggest you take the little one and check there's no more trash to take out" she turned back to this woman, and made a hmmm sound. "you know, I have never used this magic before. I suppose it works just as well on people as it does phoenix's"

Her flames engulfed her in a more define sense, taking on the shape of a Phoenix in a way that she had never done before-or at least while she was with Phoenix Wing. "flames of the Phoenix" firey whips formed, and Penny gripped them, the flames dancing, as she twisted her hands, both whips moving around smoothly like snakes teisting around the woman.

"song of the Phoenix: Nox" music would fill the air, but it was only directed at the woman. Others would just hear beautiful music, while Penny hoped the woman would...sleep.



Jarvis didn't even hesitate, darting upstairs he snatched the locket up along the way. Why hadn't he thought to protect her? Because he didn't know there were people wanting her. People like that. The magic council would want her, but they wouldn't hurt her.

As he ran, he activated several Lacrima, virtually locking down the place so that no one could come in that didn't have the guilds mark, as well as those in the city warming up, ready for a signal.

"Amelia!" he crashed against the door before finding the knob and opening it



Master Jamie nodded, and knelt, scooping up Elsye into her arms, looking to Ayame "come child. It isn't safe" he said softly, holding out a hand to Ayame and waiting for her to take it, glancing over her shoulder as Penny fought.



"didn't love you? How can you be so foolish?" the anger in Sasha's voice rose a few levels, and her fists clenched. She knew that she was probably making a scene, but she didn't care. "can you not imagine how hard it would have been for her? Alreadyd leaving one child, to then leave another? She would have had to have a damn good reason to do it, and she only would have done it out of the greatest love. So don't stand there and say she didn't love you. Don't you dare".

But now, Sasha's voice break, and emotion other than anger filled it. Her mother hadn't loved her or Ben enough to stay. Sasha was sure she could have, sure she could have survived the icey waters, but she hadn't. She had chosen death, rather than her children. How Sasha hated knowing that. How she wished she didn't.

"at least you have something from them! I have nothing!" and now she wanted comfort. She turned tonLazarus "fairy tails dead. Long gone, but descendants still live. I don't know anything other than that. But I know you're lucky to have something connected to mother and father" her voice had softened, "you want to know me? There's nothing to know. I just am." she sunk down in her seat, more weary then she ever had been. "I crawled out of the ice because of my magic. Do you know, what its like, to know that your family died and you didn't, because of magic? I despised it for a long time, until my mentor found me and showed me the...life magic had." a single ice butterfly formed in front of her, and seemed to sparkle, as it fluttered around.

"such beauty" she sighed softly, looking over to Shujin. "I found a home in Phoenix Wing. A family. Friends. I'd never had friends before. And I still don't know why Lazarus loves me. And then Penny came along. Told me that she was my blood. And I felt like I wasn't struggling so much. Every day I felt like I was drowning, just that little bit more in the icey waters. But Phoenix Wing? penny? Lazarous? My friends?" she waved a hand at Trinity, at Prince, Even Nero "I feel like I don't have to struggle and can just...float. I'll never say no to family. But I just don't understand. penny would have been easier to track, to find. Why me?"

The tall feline simply chuckled in response to Sasha, winking a little playfully. He had guessed she wouldn't be the type to hit him for that. Unless he did something pretty bad, she seemed pretty forgiving. Nice girl really. That, and maybe she just wasn't sure if this was normal behavior for his kind. Most humans seem to disregard that, in which Prince usually did in turn just to annoy them.

Prince's ears twitched at the conversation, slightly lowering in a attempt to stop the loud ringing caused by Sasha loud shouts of anger. Being this close to them hurt his sensitive ears. But he didn't complain and only cracked his good eye open to watch the two, possibly, bickering siblings. Sasha's shouts were drawing other passengers looks, staring in confusion, curiousity and fear.

Her tirade was understandable, but not quite the tactful place to have one. After all, normal people tended to fear wizards when they got mad. It made them uneasy and think the train was about to explode. She was also sharing quite a bit of her past in the open in her anger. What sort of surprised him the most is when she motioned to the rest of them as her 'family' or friends. Even though she had barely just met two of them who weren't Guildmembers, and had little interaction with the other. It could be seen as quite naive, but it showed she did have a caring heart.

Stretching a little, Prince hummed and smiled brightly, despite the tense situation. "Now now, don't raise that pretty voice of yours. You'll start cracking it and cause people to worry." he said to Sasha with a smile and patted her knee comfortly with a deep purr in a minor attempt for the sound to sloth her a little, his tail flicking a bit to the rest of the passengers and subtly notified her growing silent audience.

"How about this handsome gentleman take a seat with us and you two can calmly explain your sides of the story mhm?" he suggested with a hum. This little family situation he probably shouldn't but into since he really didn't know much about it. Though it was interesting to listen to.

Location: Unknown Forest

He just sat there, his back leaning on the tree, thinking about his lost memories and the ones from Edolas. For some reason his memory just flowed back into his mind once he returned to Earth Land. Perhaps it was his gravity magic that you could feel and the memories that he had with it over the years. But strangely enough, his magic felt different. Unsure if it was because of the lack of magic in Edolas that strengthen his body’s magic capabilities or the Meta surgery that he went through that bonded microscopic lacrimas to fuse inside his body to allow him absorb and manipulate light. What time was he in? Because when he saw Sasha and Lazarus during his fight, it looked like they didn’t age in the slightest, compared to him since he lived in Edolas for about ten years.

There were more questions on his mind, but only one rose up to make him remember what he was doing before he was in Edolas. Discover who his teacher truly is and his true motive for razing his home town.

Wes would have continued trailing off in his thoughts, but Gentsai and Taris found him, with Edo Shutler carrying Wes’s armor. “Better have some energy because you left.” Shutler said as threw the armor beside Wes. Sighing, Gentsai walked closer to Wes as he tried forming his thoughts. “I must say, I didn’t think Earth Land would feel this great. It proves Taris’s theory to be is correct with how Earth Land’s abundance source can help stabilize our Meta coding. Especially for you since that armor was the only thing restraining your light meta powers.”

“I suppose so, but I need to tell you something.” There was bit of silence as Wes thought about where he could begin. “First, I must thank you all for helping me. When I was injured and the first person that I met was you, I was lost and couldn’t remember anything. With you, Taris, and Shutler’s help, I was able to recuperate. But ever since we arrived, I could remember everything from my past. The being that said, my real name is Wes Gusto of from Earth Land, and a member Phoenix Wing. I don’t know why the other guild members would go to such length to stop us, but that’s why I need to go to the their guild hall and talk to Jamie to see what I missed while I was away and try telling her and the others to not attack you guys.” Picking himself up and standing, there was something else. “Before Edolas and the guild, I lived in the town of Jazand. There, I didn’t have to best upbringing, but there was this man that thought me magic. But at the by the end, he only used the magic that he taught me to raze my town and frame me for the event. Now, I need to find whoever he is and know why he did it. I’m sorry to leave you all so earlier but-“

Gentsai cut Wes off as he raised his hand, which got Wes’s attention. “It’s understandable, Wes. I can’t stop someone from going to where they belong or make them do something else. So permission or not, you can leave and its fine by me. This is your home after all. But if you ever want to contact us, you have our communication lacrima. Also, once you talk with Phoenix Wing, please tell them that we mean no harm, just a home for ourselves.”

“You can even take the gear that we gave you. If Earth Land has the needed resources, I’m sure I can create another one, possibly even better since we’re actually in Earth Land.” Taris said as she smirked.

“Thank, again, thank you. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for any of you.” Wes said as he began putting part of his armor on and picked up his glaive. With that, Wes nodded and waved as they went their separate ways.


Location: Unknown Forest

After awhile when Wes left, Gentsai decided to talk about something to Taris. “I know this is already an obvious question. But are we really the only ones from Edolas that got sent here.”

“Sadly yes sir. The attacks from the earthlander’s fire magic caused the anima to lose some energy and allow only us to leave Edolas.”

“I see. But I could also feel it throughout the titan. At some point in time, every edolasian that was in the titan just vanished, teleported, or something. Probably because of those earthlanders.”

“But it’s not just that. Shutler, you have to control you’re counterpart somehow. What he did was against what Gentsai would have commanded.”
Edo Shutler simply shrugged as they were all sitting and eating. “It’s strange. Although we’re practically the same, there’s something about him that feels different.”

[James]

James was just a hair second faster than Penny, and he didn't hold back. "Holy Smite!" The power in the spell wasn't that it was a light spell of immense power, but that when it connected, it used the darkness inside a person's soul against them to cause pain equal to the sins committed. Even as the smite flew towards the woman, he was following up with a Shield Bash to stun her. "Darkness can never prevail so long as we light the way."

A suspicious individual had approached them from the shadows, revealed himself (more or less) to be Sasha's brother, and just as quickly, the mood in the room had changed fast enough to inflict whiplash. Twice.

This conversation sounded a bit more personal than she was comfortable with, too, what with all the personal demons and what not rapidly showing themselves. Time to bail. But... stay nearby.
