In the instant that Cody moved, James realized what had happened and that he had to move fast. [color=SteelBlue]"Flashing Radiance!"[/color] A flash of golden light erupted from his shield forwards, blinding both Nidhogg and the girl with the scythe briefly. Acting quickly, James sheathes his sword and moves to knock Cody's into the dirt with his armored forearm, but Joshua beats him to it, knocking the wind from him for good measure. He proceeds to speak quickly but quietly so only Cody can hear him after catching the other man's sword midair. [color=SteelBlue]"You made two mistakes in that attack, Cody. First you took his bait, and a sword is only a blunt instrument in the hands of an angry wielder. Second, you forgot what I taught you as a result of blind anger. You were wide open and would have DIED if and when he countered you. Keep your emotions in check."[/color] By the time the blinding effect would have worn off, James was once more at Cody's side, his sword drawn and his stance ready, the tip pointing over the edge of his shield.

[color=SteelBlue]"Enough games. If you're going to attack our friend and guild mate, then do so and quit using the populace of an entire ci-"[/color] James finds himself cut off by the appearance of a black lightning bolt from a clear sky and the appearance of a pink haired woman in a black dress.

[url=http://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/dc603578-933c-4cd7-a89c-ccf2539991f8.jpg]Jacey Belladona[/url] had been enjoying her day despite having decided to tail Shadow Heart's resident undead toy for the day to make sure he didn't call anymore attention to potential dark guild activity. He was passive and hadn't killed anyone or done anything unseemingly strange that would have the populace sending notes of concern to the attending Magic Council. And then he threatened to kill any one he could get his hands on in order to get the cooperation of a Dragon Slayer in going to the edge of the city to fight him and Shiro, Manami's lapdog. She would have interceded right then except two more Phoenix Wing mages arrived, one of them wielding some kind of Holy magic. [color=Yellow][i]Perhaps the idiot will reconsider his choice of action if he can't hurt his targets and they get help from the rune knights.[/i][/color]

She facepalmed moments later when he made it clear nothing would change his mind. He followed it all up by taunting one of the Phoenix Wingers into attacking, which the young man did. His guild mates handled it after the one with Holy magic blinded Shiro and Nidhogg and then resumed combat ready stances. However, before the armored man could finish speaking, Jacey arrived in a bolt of black lightning, instantly supercharging the air with a static feeling. However, when the dust from her arrival cleared, she had her back to the Phoenix Wing mages and instead locked her gaze on her undead pain in the ass. [color=Yellow]"I'm beginning to get the sense that you really want Shadow Heart to get a personal visit from Adam Reinhardt's guild. We have spent months making preparations here and for you to start murdering people left and right because a Dragon Slayer doesn't listen to you will get any potential dark mage activity investigated and I will make sure that Shadow Heart is found if it comes to that."[/color]

She spared a glance back to the Phoenix Wing mages, noting that the armored one was beginning to get a questioning look on his face from the way his head was slightly cocked to the side. [color=Yellow]"Shiro, dear, I strongly recommend that Georgie find a way to reign in Nidhogg here or life will become difficult for your fun loving guild. Am I clear?"[/color]

Jack shook his head. [color=Turquoise]"You belong here same as I or Jackie does, Aria. You were born here, not in the mirror world you were tricked into calling home for so long. It would only be a matter of adjusting to it for you."[/color]

[color=A4DDED]”Call it a kitty's intuition, but I've felt like that ever since we've got here.  But whatever it is, Frenzy Plant can handle it.”[/color] Well, Damian couldn't argue with the instincts of a War Sphinx at any length. Still, his hand didn't leave Durandal's hilt. Guild Master Sanders had given instructions to avoid using magic in view of the public, and so that's exactly what he was going to do. Upon entering the graveyard, Damian noted that it was paved and smiled softly. He'd seen this in other outlying towns during his travels before joining Phoenix Wing, a way the towns people paid the dead additional respect by keeping the walk ways defined. Splitting up, while Ni and Eliza went their own ways, Damian went another, searching for some sign something was out of place.

He searched for several minutes, not finding anything extrodinary, before he saw Eliza waving him over near a gravestone with a visitor. Approaching her, he noted who the gravestone belonged to and frowned. They needed to check the guy's grave and his visitor would make that difficult. [color=FireBrick]"Alright, well, I didn't see anything before I saw you. Did you?"[/color]
