Cassius nodded at everyone being present before taking a breath. "Alright... The plan is in place so we get there a bit faster... Because this has been a very long trek already, and I think we are all ready to have a good dinner when we are all done with this job, and well safe... WE might have took longer than needed... but I rather us be safe than sorry as a collective. And not to seem self absorbed, but I want to think we all did good thus far." Cassius began, smiling under his veil... It clearly hurt his face as he turned his head away for a moment twords Hitori -- Mother Superior -- before turning back, his jaw slightly moving left to right as if to numb the pain.

Garnet suppressed a grin at this, she was clearly very amused at all this. "When you're ready Mr.Svent."
Cassius' eyes seemed to trail to her. "Right, by this... long detour, we avoided three powerful beings thus far, I want to think of everyone's safety. As a result, I thought this would be the safest route."

Monica blinked, she was quite skeptical of him, even if he has been correct in his judgment thus far. "May I?" She asked, as if to cut in.

"What is it you'd like to say?" Cassius shifted his posture, one leg over the other, his hands resting on his thigh.

"Just What are we avoiding? I think we are entitled enough to know at the very least." Monica blinked.

Cassius chuckled for a moment. "I don't know how to describe them, aside from weapons... in the vision they had crow like wings... bells... and staffs of rare materials to work as powerful catalyst that could do serious harm to the ship. And ultimately bring up down to a far worse place. Even kill some of us -- more of us rather. Is that what you really want?" Cassius spoke out. "It's fine to be skeptical of me, no one will hold that against you. But we need a full group to just even beat one of them... But to have all three here?" Cassius shook his head. "Their eyes are hollow, yet full of a malevolent yellow glow. Not born naturally... as if..." Cassius didn't quiet have the right words for it, but the stress his eyes showed were enough to show he was genuinely concerned.

"Alright... What else would we have missed?" Monica brought up, Cassius looking more annoyed at her presence.

Garnet gave Monica a blank look. "Can you let him explain his plan? He's why we are here in fewer pieces. Grant him this much."
Monica took a breath. It was hard for her to accept the mystic in place of a forensic explanation. She could measure the elements and how Aether is used to bring about the calling of the magics of boons to banes used by others, but to see possible realities they could have encountered? That was a lot for her to merely accept.

"I'm sorry... But he is asking a lot of me to just believe your Majesty... As a scientist, I cannot measure timelines the way we can alter the course around a specific instance.... But to see entire what could be instances? Can you really blame my skepticism?" Monica raised a point. "I need more evidence. More than just faith."

"I understand how you feel as someone who grew up hating whatever power I might have had. I truly do. I don't pretend these are perfect visions, or realities I can see. What I may have prevented in the past, might emerge later in the future. It was only an encounter of a mobile enemy. Just like how we evaded the queen airships. Just because you can avoid something, does not mean it fully disappears. That is a forensic fact I can give you based on reasoning, as well as the prognosis of the visions. Like all exparaments , we have some level of control, but not of the entire outcome, but more of a leaning to one. Is that too, not how your research works?"
Cassius rebuttal made Monica nod in silence. It was a more satisfactory answer.

Soon their boat was lowered to the ground where they would have to walk as a ground.

"Right, my plan was for us to just move to get a few supplies in the city before making it to the southern route to take us through the south gate to reach the en route to Lindblum... I will summon Camazotz to act as a 'Demon' to flee from that the guards would have to let us through, and from there, we will be dealing with the regent's men, which Monica has authorization to arrange for an air shuttle. From there, are mission is done." Cassius stated as they reached the ground.

In the distance, they could see the city of prepetual night, the city of nobles that had more thieves in poverty than Nobles living there.

Beneath his Ancient Nun glamour Hitori perked up and his eyes momentarily glimmered, "What do you mean...you saw visions of the Hollow Wizards..." Hitori said in a cautious tone. His Gnarled Crone-like hands gripped around the false necklace he wore like a cornered Animal sheltering its young from attackers. "You just described the False things I saw in my Dream all that time ago. What do you mean they are coming!" Hitori seemed very agitated and his glamour scintillated from this.

Ritsu put his hands on Hitori's Shoulders, "Easy there Grandma Fox, it's just a vision. If we stick to the plan then we shouldn't have to worry about your 'Hollow Wizards' or whatever."

Hitori raised an eyebrow in a harsh Old Woman Scowl and raised an Arthritic Claw to Ritsu, "You don't understand False Monkey, they are not to be Trifled with. If they are coming then we as a whole are in Serious Danger, they crave the Safety of Royal Blood and have no concept of Empathy. These things are the Worst sorts of Perversions to the World...." Hitori pulled back and began to mutter something under his breath about Forests.

Ritsu was uncomfortably confused by this, he leaned in to whisper to Cassius, "I'm not going to say that I'm familiar with Kumiho or that I particularly care for Hitori but...Is he going to be alright?"

Itzal sighed, putting his hands behind his head as he walked between Cassius and Garnet, he had the same vision as Cassius, but he decided to keep quiet about asking questions about the monsters as Monica had. He knew only one thing, that if they were attacked, he'd have to protect Garnet and Cassius, easy as that. It didn't matter WHAT sort of creature they were, just that he'd take them down. He just didn't like that he was surrounded in a city of nobles... It reminded him of a past that he would love to forget.

He had to admit that it didn't help his nerves with Hitori being incredibly worried about this vision, however.

"I don't think we should worry too much." He said with a sudden confidence, that was very unlike him. "Sir Cassius has devised a plan for this vision not to come to light, we just have to be confident in his abilities. Worrying will only ruin us."

He swallowed slightly, "I... Have confidence in my abilities as well." He said, though that statement was lacking all the confidence his previous statement was embellished with. "We can do this, we can do this..." He muttered under his breath, adjusting the hood of his cloak before fingering over his collar. It wasn't very noticeable, but his tail slightly started frizzing up with agitation as he wondered what sort of powers "Hollow Wizards" could possibly posses.

"This place..." Wylde said quietly in quite the intonation, clearly showing her dislike of their current destination. That city was a place she had visited in the past, but never really liked it. It simply wasn't a decent place to visit without a real good reason. Sadly for them, they had such a reason so it was unavoidable given the situation they found themselves in. She hadn't heard anything about the winged danger so it must have been either secretive project or something that happened after she left Alexandria. Could be either, not that it mattered. The mention of staves aluded to magic users so it was best not to try their luck needlessly.

"Just be careful when we enter..." Wylde stated." Don't wander away from the group, don't follow strangers and for the love of the shining sun, don't get into trouble..." She stated to the others." Also move your wallets somewhere you know they won't be snatched."

Glancing at the others, Karn rolled her emerald green eyes before smirking as Wylde seemed to be quite concerned. "Oh dear dear lass, I know it can be a bit Wylde in there but the city of Treno is a marvelous place. Gambling, getting into cage matches with giant behemoths or dragons, perhaps snag a purse or two from a snotty noble, playing a round of Tetra Master it's pretty great." The feline said with a chuckle, giving a pat on the white haired woman's back before moving ahead and into the city. Taking in the smells of beer, fine wine, and the grungy smell of infidels. Indeed, this was Treno.

"Sure it's very possible to be shanked out of nowhere and mugged but hey, good thing you all have plenty of protection." Karn snickered before waving her hand.

"I'll catch up to ya'll later. Got a little someone I need to visit. Have fun and stay safe." Karn smirked and playfully winked and giving a casual wave before slinking through the city with ease.

After that little venture, and since they were here, she may as well get some more supplies for herself. Wasn't something the others really needed to be concerned with. It was her business and it wasn't like they were really friends anyway. Doctor Tot should be home, old coot doesn't usually leave his place. Well, maybe head to Card Stadium to play a game or two. Shouldn't be too hard to track down.

Cassius whispered back from beyond his veil. "The most insane poets have a point. Others just need the insight to understand... He will be fine. No one's seen his true form except me... and..." Cassius brushed his knuckles on Ritsu's abs. "Yeah... He will be fine. Just be careful, and he will too. He reacts to everything... Kinda like you. If anything, I'd argue he is more sane than most." Cassius nodded.

For the time being, the others should try to avoid causing trouble, Cassius however decided to make himself scarce with the Princess.

The City of Treno was quite layered and had a massive structure that divided the city into what could only be described as tiers. The nobles lived in the upper city, where the most unfortunate lived in the slums -- that, and unsavory types... yet in the center, off in the distance, there was two areas that made Treno distinct aside from it's perpetual night-line, aside from the crime rate... and the strange amalgamation of beauty, and depravity. It was it's Tetra Master stadium. But highest above the city was the auction house... There was a gaze that everyone could seem to feel there, yet, no one wanted to dare match it's gaze. To the right in the upper tier was a merchant that sold gear, supplies, as well cage fights with monsters -- it was also a trap for thieves.

Yet, distinctively to the upmost left, was Dr.Tot's tower. A well known scholar and physician. What he could be up to is for others to find out, that is if they wished it.

Monica sighed as she looked to Hitori, Ritsu, and Wylde. "Maybe we could go shopping while the others do their own th- what the hell?" She blinked as she saw a swarm of doves pass by -- probably to the old Bird woman's estate...

"Right... Shopping... It would be practical to be timely as we can, seeing as... Our friends are off to heaven knows where in the high town... But, alchemist supplies would be nice to have... Maybe a new Scythe for others. Or a fancy set of sabers for the beautiful stage performers? But, we can also see about the gate passes." Monica raised a point that the others should follow on.

Meanwhile, at the Auction house, Cassius swayed in, others saw him as a nice fitting dancer... even if the race was questionable.
What was on display was a few boring set of rings... The Faerie rings. They were going once... twice...

"2200 Gil." Garnet raised her hand. The Snobbish looking participants wondered why a Maiden of Tapestra was bidding... But she went uncontested, and received her rings after a small transaction.

Cassius then saw a very... strange vintage spear... It had quite the price, but it was something he could easily acquire. It had a regality about it, while also looking occult with it's markings, an Amethyst type gem, a large one was imbued with it. There were wraps around the spear made of silver to the black rod that acted as a body; the curves around it... It was so foreign, but he could feel it's power emanating. He must have it.

The starting bid was 4000 gil... Cassius walked away with it, spending 7000 gil.

As the duo walked out, Garnet looked at the spear... What made Cassius want it so badly?

"Quite the eye you have there. But might I ask what made you inclined for such a weapon?" The Princess asked her escort.
"Simple. I don't think others understand who... or what this spear belonged to... rather.... whom... They."

Garnet blinked. She tilted her head taking a look, it was like a few were keeping an eye on her... Yet there was nothing to see.
She finally broke the silence. "Who could it belong to?"

Cassius answered. "The Morrigan."
It was just then a Raven manifested, the spear seeming to break into a strand of feathers that the wind seemed to blow away, yet on his shoulder, the raven sat.

"Hulllooo there." It said in a thick accent not native to their land, the presence however seemed not threatening. Cassius Acquired a new Familiar as it seemed.

Wylde just frowned at Karn's seeming disregard of the danger, but what could one do. She then just sighed, she too had to go into the town no other ways about it.

"Shopping might be good." She noted, but also noted the doves. It all happed in a few very brief moments of different emotions that happened. At first she noted that a flock of doves looked rather pretty as they flew. Then she thought it was weird thing to see in a city like this. Finally something inside screamed to her. Probably insticts... maybe a connection with her familiar. No matter the cause 'FOLLOW THEM!', was what howled through her mind as she turned aroudn in a haste few were capabale of.

"On second thoughts go ahead, I will find you all later!" Wylde shouted as she dashed in all haste after the doves. When she was last time here, she didn't notice such an event, this time she wasn't going to miss it. Her familiar sensed something... or was it her instincts again? Whatever it was, it was howling to track it down.

"Wait you flying fluffy white things!" Wylde called as she used her utmost haste to keep up with the birds and track them down.
