[IC] Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

[j8cob]

Edo-Beatrix

The twin assassin began slowly approaching Edo-Beatrix, holding his daggers in front of himself with his arms crossed. He was clearly taking his time with killing her. He knew he was ranked higher than her and she was already in terrible condition from earlier fighting. There was no challenge to be had. The tan woman, however, stood her ground. When the assassin finally charged at her, his body a blur as he prepared to slice her open, Edo-Beatrix clenched a fist.

With surprisingly expert timing, she slammed a powerful punch forward, swinging past the mute's arms and striking him directly in the solar plexus. The look of shock and pain on his face was testament to the blow. He dropped his daggers and fell on the ground, wheezing for air in pain. "I don't have to hold back anymore," Edo-Beatrix said, unclenching her fist and walking away from the defeated assassin. Before she could get back to Edo-Maddox's body, a regiment of soldiers came into the courtyard.

They quickly arrested the incapacitated assassin, but they found difficulty in subduing Edo-Beatrix and retrieving Edo-Maddox's body. The tan woman began tossing men around like ragdolls, refusing to give them any ground. "You can't have him!" she shouted as she tossed one of the guards at the others, knocking them over like bowling pins. The soldiers all regrouped, surrounding her in a circle with their weapons pointed in. "Surrender or we will be forced to kill you!" one of them shouted at her, but Edo-Beatrix didn't bat an eye.

Instead she calmly picked up Maddox's body in her arms. Despite the blood getting on her arms, she retained a calm demeanor. Eerily calm, in fact. "I'm not surrendering today," she spoke, her voice somewhat low. "I still have one last job to do." Not intending to give her any more time, the entire regiment rushed Edo-Beatrix. Their attack, however, met only air as she jumped up and over the crowd, landing gracefully on the other side. Her fatigue almost caught her as her legs began to buckle from the effort, but she overpowered her own exhaustion and stood upright.

"I won't surrender until I'm finished." The soldiers began rushing after her, but Edo-Beatrix began running as well. With surprising speed, given her condition and the fact she was carrying a body bigger than herself. The tan woman spared one last glance toward Mayt and Penny, who were now talking to a familiar looking blonde. She figured it was probably the last time she would see them. Thank you, for giving me a second chance, Edo-Beatrix thought to herself. She was too far away and it was a bit late to be thanking Mayt in person, but the appreciation was still there.

Beatrix

When lightning strikes began hitting the Dragon Chain Cannon, the assassins guarding it drew their attention to Angelo. The handcuffed Beatrix was given a little freedom in order to protect the ancient weapon. As only one man stood next to her to guard her, an evil grin formed on her face. "Hey," she began talking to him, already earning a look of irritation from the guard. "You never answered earlier how strong you guys are." A sneer formed on the guards face now.

"Stronger than you, bitch," he spat out, crossing his arms over his chest. The evil grin on her face became wicked now. "Let's test that out." The man only had time to uncross his arms, not even enough to reach for the sword strapped to his waist. Beatrix performed a front flip, bringing her foot into the back of his head and sending him flying into several other assassins, knocking him out and knocking them over. The fight was on.

Using kicks alone, Beatrix was doing a good job at defending herself. "I'll take all of you on!" she shouted as the armed men began to surround her. "You're all lucky my hands are bound or this wouldn't even be a challenge!" Before they could finish attacking, a large man clad in thick armor approached through the crowd. Grade had arrived. "You fools can't even handle the hostage?" he asked, irritation clear in his voice. Identifying him as a leader type figure, Beatrix rushed toward him. "Not a hostage anymore pal!" she shouted as her powerful kick connected with his chestplate.

A powerful thud sound echoed from the impact, but Grade didn't budge. If anything, more damage was done to Beatrix's boot than his armor. Grade began laughing as Beatrix recovered from her own attack. "You can't do anything against my armor, you dumb broad," he claimed, pounding his fist against his chest for a loud clang. "This is the ultimate defense. Nothing can break it." The timing for Jayce's attack couldn't be any better. Right as he finished boasting, the cliff began to quake.

Taking advantage of the confusion, Beatrix rushed forward and jumped at Grade. "I don't need to break your armor to hurt you," she told him with a sly grin. Rather than an all-out powerful kick, Beatrix placed one foot on his helmet and one on his chest. With a grunt of effort, she kicked off, pushing him backwards in the process. The armored man stumbled backwards, flailing his gigantic sword as gravity and the shaking earth defeated him. He fell off the side of the cliff, falling down to the city and crashing through a building.

Grade only survived the fall thanks to the armor he was so proud of. But he was undoubtedly incapacitated this time as his unconscious body lay at the bottom of the house he fell through. The cost of Beatrix defeating Grade was that she was tackled to the ground by several other assassins. While they began to tie up her legs to keep her from moving at all, a loud shout was heard from near the cannon.

"The cannon is charged! Fire! Fire!"

Despite the crumbling cliffside and shaking earth, a loud boom echoed across the city as the cannon fired. A thick, magical chain with a dragon's head on the end of it flew across the sky in a straight line. It went over the city, even narrowly missing the palace itself, before continuing on into the distance and slamming into the base of a nearby mountain.

After it latched on, there was a collective silence across the city. A calm before the storm. For several seconds, nothing was happening. Then there was a loud crack that came from the mountain. Slowly, the fallen island of Extalia began creeping towards the capital city, being pulled by the Dragon Chain Cannon. Back at the cliff, Beatrix looked on with confusion. "What kind of weapon is this?" she questioned before throwing the assassins off her and freeing her legs.

More of the assassins focused on Angelo now, to keep the cannon from taking any more damage. It had enough magic to function now, but it was also getting damaged from the attacks. As well, the threat of the cliff collapsing underneath it was very real.

Maddox

The red-haired mage chuckled with Trinity's comment on getting a new jacket. "I suppose you're right. Bout time I got a new style anyways," Maddox agreed. When they arrived at the train, he took the seat next to Trinity and leaned back comfortably. While he tried his best to not look the part, he did feel exhausted. Despite the fact Melina wasn't a member of the guild, Maddox didn't seem too bothered by her presence on the train ride.

Until she mentioned she was going to look through the guild's library. "Now now, blood lady," Maddox spoke up, waggling his finger at her. "You should be a little nicer. If we're going to let you use our resources to do your research, that is. We don't have to help you with anything." Though his words were strict, he still had a grin on his face. "A little kindness can go a long way."

[Zarkun]

[Edo-Damian]

Damian didn't have time to finish formulating a plan after the cannon fired, but he had a rough idea, and it started with destroying the cannon itself. Leading up to that and afterword? "Meh, I'll wing it." Once Titanus was low enough, Damian leaped off his back and straight down, landing on an unfortunate member of White Hydra and coming up at a roll, his claymore held at the ready and glowing blue with chi. "Your leader is dead, I dealt the killing blow myself. It's over, Maddox's dream of world domination is over. Just give up." He was greeted by the assassin's who paid the armored sword wielder any mind drawing weapons of their own. With a sigh, he rushes forward, crossing blades with the first pair of assassins to reach him and quickly dispatching them. He was concerned that there was no sign of the large guy he'd fought before Maddox, but a narrow miss from one of the assassin's swords brought his mind back into focus. Time for that later. Cannon and chain first.

[James]

"The Master has already agreed to let her look through the library. With supervision would be my guess." He shifted in his seat, moving the hilt of his sword out of his side with a grunt. He looked around, curious about what had happened in Edolas and hoping everyone was alright.

[Feisty-Pants]

Minerva Fairchild - The Lion's Fang

With the faint glimmer of sunlight breaking through the curtains on her sprawling estate, Minerva woke. A long, smooth stretch of her arms raised over her crown of strawberry blonde was followed by a gentle exhale as the fell to her sides. Today was the day she was going to return to the Guild she had joined. Hopefully it would be a touch more joyous than it had been the last time, where she had ended up causing severe damages against a nearby merchant's establishment.

It had cost a pretty penny or two to help repair that domicile, but it was a penny or two that she could certainly easily afford considering her investments.

Having been dragged away from that new guild by family matters for some time, it certainly wasn't something that she would have preferred. Sliding to the edge of the bed, her bare feet tip toed lightly towards the shower room, where her silk pajamas were tossed onto the luxuriously carpeted floor and then the warm steam from a hot shower soon lofted towards the ceiling of her personal bath room. Running her fingertips through the length of her hair as the reinvigorating waters passed through it, her precise gaze closed in serenity of the moment.

She hoped that the guild would welcome her warmly again, and would consider her unwilling departure as abandonment of any kind. Stepping from the shower smelling of fresh lilac in a summertime breeze, the noble girl wrapped a towel warmly about herself and dug through the drawers. A plain white blouse, a black skirt and a long-sleeved black coat made of fine fabrics caught her attention. Simply slipping the garments on over her laced undergarments, she glanced at herself in the mirror for a few moments as a brush was run through her hair to straighten out the strands that seemed so stubborn to misbehave.

Slinging both Caladbolg and Durendal to rest upon the back of her waist, the emerald and gold sheaths to which they both remained in seemed to glisten in the beam of sunlight that lingered in her room. Blinking for a moment, she strode from her room quietly and through the winding cobblestone walkways that lead the route from her mansion.

Into the streets of the outskirts her walk began, and for many hours it continued. Only stopping briefly to eat at a stray marketplace or two that lined the busy roads she traversed across.

Then, she stood at a precipice once again. At the door of Phoenix Wing she stood, deeply inhaling for a moment, the A-Rank Magi pushed the doors open and sauntered in. The scene that met her was grim, some of her fellow magi were injured, others were tending to injuries. More importantly, she noticed a peculiar woman.

After seizing the note titled "Noone cares about the poor", Minerva turned her attention back to the peculiar woman before preparing to head off on her own.

A woman who certainly seemed out of place; not only that, but she lacked the mark of being a guild member.

"Can I help you, madam?" Minerva airily inquired, with only a hint of tension on your voice. "Perchance might you be lost?"

[MarshiestMallow]

Penny

Something still didn't seem quite right about Karn. She was more then sure that he couldn't have been in the blast that had sent them here, and....the nick names were all slightly off. It didn't make sense. None of it did. It was almost like...like this was someone who had known Karn well, and his tendencies to create nicknames for people, and took a chance on the names.

But surely that couldn't be?

Penny frowned, "Are you sure you are okay, Karn? It wasn't like this trip here was easy. I mean, I was so disorientated when I got here...What about the spider dog? She didn't seem to like you. I doubt she would have let you get close to Jacye to following him through. Did something happen to her, too?"

Worrying about a damn dog, in the midst of all this? But then, she was just trying to figure it al out. And then she heard the shouts of the cannon being charged, and her eyes darted to it.

So Jacye and Angelo hadn't managed to destroy it.

"Hold on. I need to deal with this" She said quickly, stepping aside from the others, her flames danced across her skin, forming her Phoenix Shape, she shot into the air. Briefly, just as she rose in the air, 'Karn' and Mayt may have felt air that seemed very hot, dry and it may wash over their skin.

She burned hot and bright, her flames the brightest red, the yellow as light as the sun, shining just as bright. And the air seemed to wavier with the heat she was putting off. She darted towards the cannon, her flames becoming hotter as she flew. She suddenly lost all shape, as her Flames expanded, almost seeming to explode around her, as she aimed to engulf the cannon in flames.

Edo-Jamie

Time had no meaning. All that matter was the next blow, the next block. And keeping Pen away from the magic filled Lacrima. For he kept on aiming for blows where the Lacrima were hidden in one of the Numerous pockets of Jamie's robes.

Every time, Edo-Jamie deflected the blows. But the numerous blows that landed cut, tearing the robes, and cutting Edo-Jamie's skin, were taking their toll. Sooner or later, Edo-Jamie would succumb to the injuries. The question was, would it be before Pen did, or not?

Edo-Jamie's members were out there, and those members from Earthland, were fighting. So Edo-Jamie would continue fighting. They had to. So the fighting continued, and Edo-Jamie scored more blows, managing still to protect the Lacrima. But too late, Edo-Jamie saw that Pen had been driving them back, against the wall. Their hip brushed against the wall, and Edo-Jamie twisted, to make sure one of the Lacrima did not smash.

And Pen's next attack hit one of the others. it shattered, and for a few seconds, silence fell, almost deafeningly. And then flames spun around the room, scorching Edo-Jamie's skin, burning it badly. Edo-Jamie got of lighter, as the flames seemed to swim about the room, consuming anything in its path.

Including Pen and The False king. Their screams filled the room, and Edo-Jamie knew it would be over. But then the flames died. The false king whimpered still, but Pen just gritted his teeth.

Edo-Jamie suppressed a groan, but held their blade at the ready. Their robes were scorched, burned away, revealing a thin figure, that was both male, and feminine at the same time, still making it hard to tell if they were male or female, as a good majority of the robes still covered their body. What skin that was visible was reddened, painfully looking, burned, making it hard to stand on their leg leg, the hip, side and leg burned, blood dripping from where the shattered Lacrima had cut.

Edo-Jamie quickly assessed their options. They were very limited. they couldn't fight much longer, and surely Pen couldn't, but as Edo-Jamie tried to step forwards to bring about a blow, the pain was unbearable in their injured leg. They cursed. As Pen managed to come towards them, there was only one option as Edo-Jamie saw it.

Both hands went into different pockets, drawing out the Lacrima there, the sword clattering to the ground, and Edo-Jamie threw the two Lacrima towards Pen, two more quickly following. As the four crashed, and smashed, they mixed together. Edo-Jamie crouched, throwing their arms over their head, using the robes to help protect themselves against the magical blow.

But when nothing happened after a moment or two, Edo-Jamie looked up, certain the Lacrima had been empty. Edo-Jamie didn't think anything could prepare them for what they saw. It seemed...almost like...Pen had been turned to stone. It seemed like an unnatural stone, as if it shined. Edo-Jamie rose cautiously, but nothing seemed to happen. They picked up their sword, and with pain and fury, swung it towards the frozen figure. It shattered into pieces, and Edo-Jamie turned towards the hurt, false King.

"Do you want to go next, or shall you step down?" Their voice was cold, and the False King Shuddered.

Master Jamie

Master Jamie gave a dry chuckle, leaning back harder against the bar, allowing himself that small weakness. "We have already faced the magic Council. The official Announcement will be that Masahiko, a member on the council, asked for our help in evadicating the corrupt members on the council, to make Fiore a safer place for everyone. However, what really happened was that we stormed the council, on a whim, to search for information that may or may not have led us to a missing member. Capturing and taking down those that were corrupt was a side benefit, but it wasn't my main goal" She said.

She watched as Minerva walked towards the Job board after opening the doors, and took a job without so much as a word. While Jamie knew the reasons Minerva had been absent for so long, it nevertheless would have been essential to speak to him.

"Minerva" Jamie said, with a nod of her head, as if in greeting, watching as she walked away from the job board

[Feisty-Pants]

Minerva - The Lion's Fang

There was another voice that echoed after her inquiry, and it forced her attention to quickly divert from its current focus. Through the air came a sagely voice that she all too easily recognized. Widened eyes of surprised swiftly returned to their normal state as Minerva met eye to eye with the Grandmaster of Phoenix Wing.

Deciding to cast aside the thought of the oddity for now, the noble girl strode smoothly to Jamie and offered her respects in the form of a graceful curtsy. It were only natural for someone of her pedigree to do so, though she surmised that Jaime would remain nonplussed in such a manner.

"Grandmaster, it has been some time has it not? I do apologize for my absence." She quietly started at first, almost in a worried tone. "If this is over the damaged merchant's house from the spar, rest assured that he has been compensated for double what he lost. If you would not mind my initiative, I took upon myself a mission. One about those who are missing, and gone into slave trades. I intend to see this to its end, if I must. Free of charge no less, the money attained is of no concern to me. It only matters if it is a test to my abilities. Is this agreeable to you?"

Softer yet, her voice continued after the initial inquiry. "However, if it is the matter of my absence, I request your mercy in such a concern. My family is...ill fit at times at best."

[Archangel89]

The encounter with the thugs in the alley way continued to worry Saito as he made his way down the main thoroughfare of town. After absolving their sins and extracting everything that he needed from them Saito began wondering if he was ready to deal with the cruelty of the world beyond his home, until he reminded himself of why he had to make the pilgrimage here. Through all the twists and turns of the giant seeming city he was beginning to wonder if the hooligans had purposefully misdirected him...until he came across it.

The building itself didn't seem terribly ornate or special looking like the temple back home, bet he could sense many sources of great power within. Taking a deep breath he stepped inside the bustling den of activity and looked around wondering where he was supposed to go.

[Zarkun]

[Damian]

Damian remained silent the entirety of Minerva's entrance, instead choosing to glare at her for a moment before finding his seat at the bar. Nobles were someone he still had an extreme dislike for after he'd watched one have his father lashed for refusing to arrest a man who'd offended them. His father had never liked nobles to begin with, always hiding on their estates while giving orders or suggesting things to the King while the soldiers went out and risked their lives. Still, he'd make the best of it. Taking another swig of water, he turns and looks at the others. "Alright, so there's one for a sparring match. Who else?"

[Demon Shinobi]

Zenoram/Zero and Hemlock

“I would much rather you take a rest and enjoy the ride then attempt to make the trip yourselves, Mithera.” Hemlock said calmly as he got into a laying position and positioned his wing as a sort of ramp for them to climb up onto his back.

“Welp, All aboard.” Zenoram cheerfully spoke as he walked by Mithera and Karn. He was rather happy. He loved going outside. “Oh and Karn, we don’t usually go out. Usually for lessons or something if we need. But not a lot.” He explained to his new friend. “Although I do usually go down to the village near the mountain… Or um… Or the neighboring on mostly since the people in the closer village kind of hate me.” He laughed a little despite delivering the somewhat sad sentence.

”Pull it back Zenoram. Or you’ll get emotional and stuff.”
”Relax relax. I’m just being honest.
”Just watch what you say is all I’m saying.

“Hurry onto my back and we’ll take off.” Hemlock instructed as he waited.

Zenoram meanwhile began to attempt to push the two up. “Alright… Up you… Go… Just… Grrr…” He was trying so hard. “How does Zero do this stuff all the time?” He mumbled quietly to himself as it seemed things about their body accessible to one weren’t always accessible to the other. For instance, Zenoram should have been able to perform Dragon Slayer Magic and Zero should have been able to perform the time magic. But this wasn’t the case. It’s like they were two entirely different people with two different bodies, even though that was not the case. It was confusing.

Then it dawned on him. "Time zone." He said as a sort of bubble appeared around the four. He touched Karn and Mithera and spoke again. "Fast Forward." They moved quickly together at a heightened speed and soon were on Hemlocks back. When it was over the bubble was gone and he was panting a bit. It took more out of him to use that than it took out of Zero to fight for almost two hours. This was just another difference between the two.

"We'll be going then." Hemlock said as his wings lifted and began to move up and down. Powerful gusts of wing formed moving the snow beneath him in great quantities as he soon lifted off heading upwards at somewhat of an incredible rate given his size.

Zenoram was sitting and resting like it was nothing having been used to it. "You were excited about this right Karn?" He asked with a small smile. "What do you think? And you too Mithera?" He asked with a smile as the dragon evened out, now flying about the clouds, at a steady casual speed.

((Hope you don't mind me moving this along a bit, @Burthstone and @Silver Fox. But yeah. We flying now. XD I can always change it, I just thought this would be easier.))

[Silver Fox]

Karn
Fiore || Mt. Hakobe
Interacting: Zenoram/Zero, Hemlock, Mithera

Karn chuckled a little as Mithera reassured him, gently judging him with her nose. In which, he responded by lightly hugging the snout. "Well if you're sure." he said before brightening at Hemlock's instruction to get on, before blinking as Zenoram attempted to push the two onto the dragon's back. Karn was much easier to move, his feet stumbling a little.

Although Zenoram seemed weaker compared to Zero for some reason, even he could push Karn around and probably pick him up. The blonde was generally light, despite his small body being only muscle with little fat, but it was all lean and small. That and he didn't really push back. Perhaps it was because of Zenoram's predictiment. If one didn't have the personality, they didn't tend to use actual strength.

Or maybe it was because the blonde felt a bit weaker, despite rest. It made him ponder why and his coughing was now more frequent. Coughing a little as he chuckled at the dragon slayers attempt before coughing a little harder as Zenoram used some sort of magic to speed them onto Hemlock's back. Perhaps somethinf had happened to Master Rian... Odd. But maybe she just got too tired. It was alright, he could handle it for now.

At Zenoram's answer, Karn tilted his head curiously and with confusion. "Why would they hate you? You and Zero are nice. Zero can be a little scary, but he's strong." he asked.

As they took off to the sky, Karn's face brightened and he smiled in response to Zenoram's question. "It's really great! It's almost like flying with Master Rian. I do didn't think I'd ever get a chance to fly on a real dragon. It's so exciting and a great honor!" he cheered.

Edolas ???'Karn'

Watching Penny seem quite unsure about it, 'Karn' hummed a little. The girl was pretty observant, for only just meeting the real Karn. As well as other people's, including animal's habits. Clever girl when not totally being a bit head. Still, 'Karn' would have to mess up pretty bad to blow their cover. Seems the real Karn uses quite different nicknames for everyone. Oh well, not too big of a deal to fix.

"Mhmm well I did get hit pretty badly, but I'm okay. And well.. When I got here I didn't really have too much time to get my feet in. I sorta got locked up until explosions started happening." 'Karn' said, pointing toward the palace and scratched the back of his head and chuckled a little. "Not sure why exactly. Something about being a spy and stuff. And it's weird, I couldn't use any magic to get out." he said with a sigh, pouting again at the thought not being able to turn into a cat anymore.

At the question at the dog, he gave a nervous smile. "Well, she was a little distracted... She sort of missed MechaArm going in for a few moments. Apparently, she dislikes Exceeds more than me. Didn't take her too long to pursue though, but I think she just missed us." the blonde explained before watching the fire wizard take off after the cannon fired, the dragon hand launching over the city and onto a large chunk of land.

'Karn' blinked and opened his mouth a little in surprise. "...So I'm the only one who can't use magic? I wonder if in sick." he murmured before looking toward the dragon head had clamped on and frowned as the chunk of land was being dragged toward them.

"Umm... Should we do something on that side as well?" he questioned.

[Burthstone]

Edolas

Mayt

Mayt almost managed to grab Penny's ankle as she took off, missing by barely a centimeter. Cursing, he sighed, before looking over at Karn. "By the looks of it, Penny is about to go do something about the weird skull cannon anyway, so I shouldn't worry about it." He looks back up at Penny, watching with increasing irritation before responding to Karn's second to last comment, looking at him. "Funny, I don't know why you can't transform. You've clearly eaten one of the berries, I can feel your magic power just fine. Josh over there has next to none, and I'm pretty sure he didn't eat a berry, so with the amount you have you must've. Unless you've completely drained yourself, which by the way you're hopping around you haven't, so whose leg are you tryin' to pull?"

Earthland

Mithera

Mithera chuckled a little at Karn's enthusiasm, and then at Zenoram's attempt as pushing her along. She was a bit interested once he managed it with magic, and after a moment she lied down on Hemlock's back in a spot she knew from experience was not uncomfortable for Hemlock and made her a little easier to carry, before turning and watching the youngest two of the group talking and being friendly, and when Hemlock took off, she couldn't help but feel a tad unnerved by the fact she was not doing the work of flying for once. "It's... Weird, being the rider of a flying creature after having people ride me for so long." She said out loud to herself before setting her head down, knowing it shouldn't be a long flight.

Melina

"Who says I wasn't being nice? I did thank you for helping me out back there, and I'll do it again if I have to." Melina said to Maddox, smirking, and putting her arm around James, pulling him close in a way that would make most men blush. "It was quite helpful of you all." She gave James a smile, and rubbed his arms. "And I'm not to be allowed in the Guild Library because I'm not a member of Phoenix Wing, which means some other one of you lovely people is going to have to go in there in my stead so I don't... Defile it, I guess." She made a little giggle before letting go of James, and giving Maddox another smile. "I'm certain getting a book for a little blood mage hoping to be able to use her magic in more fun ways shouldn't be any trouble for powerful Phoenix Wingers like you."

[MarshiestMallow]

Master Jamie gave a soft chuckle. He pushed up from the bar, and said "Minerva, you speak as if I do not know why you have been absent. I understand. I knew you would come back. And if I was ever worried about any damage to any structures, I doubt I would send anyone on missions. We always seem to destroy things" Her tone seemed almost musing towards the end.

and then He sighed and said "You may take the job, however, I would prefer it if you didn't start it for a little while. A lot has happened today, and I would rather keep those members remaining here, in the guild. At least until I can figure out how to return our members from Edolas. Sit, and I shall explain what has happened"

[Joshua Tamashii]

Amelia and Joshua

"Rika, could you go tended to the injured people who are here?" Amelia asked her Spirit.

"Yes, as you wish Mistress."

"I told you not to call me Mistress."

Smiling, Rika walked away to see who needed treatment. The first one she went to was Edo-Lazarus, since he seemed to be dead or just near to it. Ignoring everyone else there, who were no doubt confused by her presence, she knelt next to the man and checked for a pulse. It was there but it was faint. Sighing, she placed her hands over the man's back and concentrated. Her hands would glow a light blue as a magic circle appeared under her. Edo-Lazarus' wounds would begin healing up and she put a little extra magic into it so that the man would have a bit more strength, albeit at the cost of her own. When she was done, she slowly got to her feet, sighing before looking around and spotting everyone else who was injured. She would walk to them one at a time and heal their wounds. Joshua didn't bother resisting when she came around to him, since he was one of the last ones.

Her task done, Rika returned to Amelia, looking exhausted.
"Go back now. You earned the rest." Amelia said, her tone and expression concerned.

"As you wish." Rika said, slowly fading away as dark wisp flew towards Amelia and entered one of the gems on her locket.

Joshua meanwhile, was looking at Mayt.
"Because, unlike you, I don't need magic to win a fight. I can get along just fine without it. Did before I had, can still do now.." He said calmly, rolling his shoulders."Then again, even if I did have my magic, I'm not sure I would even use it. I would really have to be in a bind for that to happen.."

[Silver Fox]

Edolas ???'Karn'

'Karn' hummed a little as he watched Penny before looking to Mayt at his words. Thinking for a moment, the blonde brushed his hands through the blonde hair before snapping his fingers in realization. Obviously, unworried about anything, despite suspicion. Not like any of them could actually guess who it was other than Karn. After all, their own Guild Master wouldn't hide from them in this situation, that dragon copycat couldn't pull off something like this so easily, and Wizard X hadn't used transformation magic before. Plus Mayt was a little out of it at the time. Awake, but he just saw the word and healing magic. And it was doubtful they knew too many transformation wizards that would bother following all the way to Edolas just to mess with them.

"Oh! A berry? Did it look like a round red candy? Sinny gave me one of those. I thought he was my Sinny but apparently he's another double. He's the one who helped me out of jail. I guess he gave me one of those berries. They didn't quite taste so good, but it's good I can use magic again. But I think I used too much back at the council. Should almost recovered now." 'Karn' mused before curiously watching Amelia work her magic as Joshua talked to Mayt before looking at Joshua with a friendly smile.

"Hello Sammy, I don't think I've met you before. Nice to meet you." 'Karn' chirped, holding out their hand out happily for a handshake to greet him before pausing and glancing toward the dragon chain head. Although Wizard X didn't really want to involve themself in this world's problems in which it was not needed. But they were playing the part of Karn. It be odd if he didn't try to assist in a stupid manner even if he couldn't do a bloody damn thing and was severely injured.

"Well since I have magic, I'm going to see if I can pry that off before it hits the city." he chirped, saluting briefly before promptly bolting. Tripping and falling on his face a couple of times before just getting back up and heading in that direction.

[Feisty-Pants]

Minerva Fairchild - The Lion's Fang

The kindness of Jamie's words brought a greater sense from Minerva in terms of her acceptance into the guild. It was difficult being one of her status and having to deal with the trivial strife and troubles of family. His acceptance of that was more of a boon than she could imagine. Nodding in agreement to wait until the return of the main group, she sat comfortably near the Guild Master to patiently wait.

Well, patiently wait until she noticed someone glaring at her from across the room. Minerva frowned at Damian, her fingertips sliding against the grain of the wood as she swiveled about to stride in his direction smoothly. Across the distance, the saunter lead her in his direction just in time for him to finish inquiring about a spar.

"Well, I could always use a tempering of my sword." She began amicably, looking down towards the boy as he sat. "However, the question is whether or not you can actually keep pace with me. Would you like to try to keep pace with one who is of Noble Blood? Perhaps if I win, you will tell me what I have done to you to draw your ire."

-Snip- Mistake, sorry.

[Zarkun]

[Damian]

Damian leveled a look with the girl, sizing her up. Her reputation preceded her, but she wasn't intimidating, even given that. "Pretty simple. My parents died in front of me on orders from a Noble House. You're from a Noble House and your ability to use magic doesn't keep you from looking down on people and act like you're better than them. However, the two of us? Two different levels of skill. You don't know what war looks like, despite likely having had to prove yourself one way or another. Still, if you're willing to step forward," he stood and the magic circle changed from green to black before fading away and his Hermes Blades replaced his Ares, "I'm not one to turn one down. Fleo, you're next, and then whoever wants to go after that can."

[Amaya Tamashii]

Amaya VanIsis - Guild Hall

Amaya watched Felix, Damien and Fleo Move to the side and stay out of the fight between Jamie and this Angelica. It was truly an amazing but scary fight to see the guild master actually fight. She was amazed while watching the fight I maybe have what I was taught but I am no where to where Master Jamie or the other members new or old are. Do I really have the right to be here?She asked herself having to think about it for a few seconds before shaking her head I do, I made it from my home to here on just a whim, I am just as experienced as everyone else here and I know in time I will grow to be stronger. She told herself getting herself out of her depressed thoughts before she noticed the fight ended with Jamie winning. She Smiled before she smelled a scent of blood "Blood..."She told herself watching angelica getting handcuffed. She listened to the other members ask a few questions as she just stayed quite more lost in thought then anything else, not paying much attention after Jamie sat down at the bar.

She was snapped out of her deep train of thoughts when a woman first walked past her taking a job off the job board before stopping to ask if she was lost. It took Amaya a few mintues to register all that went on around her she was too slow to first respond but she could tell by the way this woman held herself, she wasn't of a lower class in society, no she held herself in a much higher standing, almost like she was of the noble catagory in this society.

She listened to Jamie talk to this woman of the job and such things before she watched daimen and could tell he wasn't too happy about this new woman and she was right because right then and there the two suggested sparring with eachother to maybe get differences over with. Amaya took a deep breath before walking towards the woman "T-To answer your questions, I DO belong here. I am a new memeber since I just joined today with Master Jamie's approval"She Commented pulling back some of her hair revealing the guild mark on her neck "My Name is Amaya VanIsis, I have traveled a long way to get to this guild."She commented "I am just....Not good with talking to other people for my own reasons."She commented looking to the side scratching the back of her head. She listened to Daimen ask if anyone else wanted to join in or spar before she replied "I would but I prefer not to fight when it is not needed for again...my own reasons."She added declining his offer

Zenoram/Zero and Hemlock

“I’m glad you like it.” Zenoram beamed his expression cheerful as ever. “But maybe you should try to relax.” He then added to Mithera. “You shouldn’t always have to do the flying right?” He chuckled a bit. Though if Hemlock weren’t around he wasn’t sure if there was anything that she could ride at all. Then, Zenoram thought for a moment as he listened to Karn. He had taken note of the coughing. Was he okay? He didn’t sound like it. But he would move on as Karn did. He wouldn’t dwell on something the blonde didn’t. Besides, what if it was something that made him uncomfortable. “As for the villagers… Um.. I think it was something to do with my dad. I mean… Not Hemlock… My biological parents.” He said calmly. In truth for a time Zenoram had been too young to really understand it.

“The village hated him.” The body spoke but it was Zero now. “Normally, I’d leave Zenoram in charge, but this is a bit more serious.” He explained the change as he began to roll up the sleeves. “Pops was a criminal. I don’t know if he murdered people, or stole a lot. Maybe it was both or something more. But the point was the villagers didn’t like him bein around.” He was loosening the tie now. He hated it being all tight around his neck. So restricting. “But there’s always one person who can see past the wrong done before and focus on the right done now. That was mom. She helped him, they fell in love. You know the usual mushy crap."

“The villagers never were the most open minded types.” Hemlock chimed in as he continued the smooth flight, even picking up speed a bit.

“Yeah. What he said.” Zero continued the story. “You know when people hate one thing, it’ll just spread to another, so long as the other things is related or affiliated somehow. Irrational yes, but that’s just how people are. Irrational.” His gaze was much more fierce and serious than that of Zenoram. He’d already unbuttoned the top button and untucked the shirt. He was more comfortable now. “The hate for father spread to mother, and when I was born… You get the picture.” He began to chuckle a bit. “Poor Zenoram. Had no idea what was going on when his dad died. Of course, nobody knew how or why. Nobody tried to help. You know what I mean right? Oh and then mom went. She got sick, but fuck the lover of the hated criminal.” He sighed as he looked from Karn to Mithera.

“Zenoram was alone. It was traumatizing, but that trauma didn’t go very far. He still tried to be nice. Kill ‘em with kindness kinda thing. I mean… You can tell the guy isn’t the type to hurt someone. So… I don’t know how it works. He was being bullied. He needed to fight back… Or at least survive. So… snap.” He whispered the final word pantomiming breaking something in half. “Mr. Brain played a little trick and I ended up takin over. Beat the shit outta a couple lowlife brats, and went home. I exist to keep Zenoram safe. He exists to carry on the life left to him by his parents.” He stopped. “If either of you try to hug me I’m throwin you off the dragon.” There it was. The strangely sentimental moment which could happen was immediately shot down. Zero wasn’t the type. He didn’t even care much for the story. “Oh… Then they tried to feed us to the big guy here. Guess that didn’t work out the way they planned.” He laughed as he pat Hemlocks back.

“Where did you say you were going on?” Hemlock asked just to be sure. He was going in the right direction he knew, but he didn’t wanna over shoot it.

Edolas

Mayt

Mayt grabbed Karn's shirt as he tried to run off, pulling in back. "A-a-ah! No point in you running off, just stick here with us." He set the blonde go once he was standing back by him again. "I've seen at least two powerful people run off for the cannon already, and a third would just make things complicated. Sorry." He patted Karn's head before looking over at Joshua. "I can fight without my magic as well, though I'm certain everyone else around has more practice with it than I do, I can hold my own against the common brigand. And why don't we see what's going on inside the palace, so that we aren't just sitting here with our thumbs up our asses." He motioned for Karn to come along as he headed for the palace, not wanting to just do nothing.

Earthland

Mithera

Mithera shrugged when Zenoram said she should relax. "I am about as relaxed as I can be, and oftentimes I'm the one who's big and strong, so I fly people around, or there's just nothing big enough to fly me around. I don't have too much of a problem with it. She let off a soft chuckle as Zero told his and Zenoram's story, and chuckled again when he said he'd throw them off Hemlock if they tried to hug him. "I'm not exactly built for hugging, so don't worry about that. And why don't you two join me and Karn in Magnolia? I doubt they knew your father there, or who you are at least. And the guild there is a great way to see the world." She nodded a little, thinking. "And from my experience with them, they wouldn't care if your father was a criminal or not."

[Lugubrious]

he entrance of Minerva, and her subsequent exchange with Jamie, went sadly unnoticed by Fleo. At the moment, she was engaging in a rather flighty conversation with Felix. The dusty woman found in the boy a companion with almost as much youthful enthusiasm as she, and the aimless chatting that resulted from this discovered swept across a plethora of subjects. Food, fellow guild members, weather, Magnolia, magic and more came and went quickly. Fleo knew that her talk with Felix held little base value, but she was simply glad to have someone to speak with to ease the tension. She suspected that Felix felt the same way; the entire guild had just gone through something extraordinary, and if a harmless chat could help alleviate the stress, Fleo was all in. Plus, she felt she was well on the way to earning herself a new friend.

When Minerva approached, however, the conversation died off. Fleo watched, fiddling with her hair, as she confronted Damian. The coldness between them was plain to see, even if they hadn't been pointedly talking about why. Damian's brief mention of the fate of his parents touched Fleo despite the swordmaster's earlier callousness. If he was so quick to declare the cause of his strife, she could almost understand why he'd be impatient with the secrets of others. Her sympathies lay more, however, with Amaya. Though Fleo's powers of perception weren't as unfairly keen as certain others, she hazarded a guess that this woman was as new in Pheonix Wing as she was. She couldn't keep a smile from appearing on her face—a true kindred spirit!

The pleasure of such a prospect was, in fact, enough to mask her displeasure that Damian had apparently changed his mind about sparring today, and would be glad to have Fleo 'next' after he finished with Minerva. “That's some ominous arrogance,” the dusty one breathed, too quietly to hear. Truth to be told, Fleo didn't relish fighting an S-class wizard, but win or lose, she'd be able to show her shine. Since it was going to be a few moments before her time in the spotlight came, Fleo spoke to Amaya.

“Hiya! I'm new too! Fleo Plector, at your service!” She took a moment to think about how best to advance. People who said 'for my own reasons' weren't often extroverts. “Now, I don't want to seem too friendly, but given that we're both newbies here, maybe you'd like a chat?”
