[IC] Soul Seekers

[antman0623]

Max checked his tablet for the millionth time again today. He was waiting for some sort of lead on any sort of mission, but nothing had come through. He was anxious to find some souls and for the rest of the group to have some work. It had been a few days of downtime for them and this was not something Max valued, albeit a day here or there, but not 4 days in a row.

As soon as he started to lose hope for the day his tablet buzzed with a message. It came from an unknown sender. He was unsure of the nature at first, but reading it, he got a lead about a soul they must go and retrieve. All the message led him to know was they were looking for something big and something dealing with stone.

Max thought about this for a few moments and then he sent a message to the rest of the seekers. He instructed them to meet up back at the house. Though they were on downtime, they never fully disbanded. They shared the home of Max and were either there or out and about enjoying the relaxation.

Max sat and started to think about what this soul could be. He had an idea in mind, but wasn't totally sure and he thought about where he could find such a soul. A bunch of ideas ran through his mind. As he sat there thinking, his tablet buzzed again and another message came through. It was John.

John's replay was brief and to the point, letting Max know that he had a strong feeling about the soul and it's location. John mentioned quickly that he's heard about a similar soul in the mountains, so this could very well be it, but he would explain more when he arrived back at the house.

Max closed the message and brought up the net. He started to look up details on mountain ranges in the surrounding areas and wait for the group to return.

Ashlinn was working in a little atelier where she made her own clothes and sold them when she had some time away from being a soul seeker. Nobody in the atelier knew who or actually what she was. Her first soul gem hang around her neck as she had made it into a necklace. She was using her phone to listen to music as she suddenly heard a buzzing sounds trough her songs.

She laid down her pencil and took her phone. It was Max. A new soul had been detected and they had to go search for it. She texted back: 'Never a good timing those souls have! I just had some great inspiration.. I'll be there in 20 minutes''. She then cleaned up her drawing table and grabbed her coat and shoulder bag. ''Sorry Linda! I got to go.. My brother locked himself out and I must be there before he is going to try to climb up the roof again'' she said and then ran off.

Ashlinn took her motorcycle and got onto it, she putted on her helmet and started it. Then she drove towards the house they all shared and exact 20 minutes later she arrived at the house. She took the keys out of her motor and then walked inside, taking of her helmet. ''Honey! I am home'' she said, not to anyone special. She was the only female in the house and called everyone of the guys Honey or Sweetheart.

John walked out of his secret library after talking to Max. He believed this new type of soul would be very exciting to look for and find. He couldnt wait to find out more about it. He put on a bag full of amulets as well as some other useful stuff and walked a couple of streets to arrive at the house. He liked the house almost as much as his library and was smiling as he walked through the door. Smiling to Alissa and nodding to the boss he settled in a chair in the corner and put his feet up on a table in front of him, one that hed bought 3 years sgo at a car boot sale, waiting for Max to explain further to the others Whilst he played around with a new amulet (one the group hadnt seen before) that had been glowing blue in his pocket.

Damian was in the far bottom right corner of the library reading an old dusty book, he peers over at John Overlord who is exiting the mouth of the library as he briefly turns the next page of his book. He then proceeds onwards out of the library double doors, carrying the freshly stamped red book along with him. Damian quickly reaches down in his pocket and manages to finally fish out his car keys. He looks around the library car park, his eyes finally navigates towards his 1955 Ford automobile, his car brings off a new glaze of turquoise paint like a glazed topping on a cake which compliments the dark charcoal coloured tires that hold this mighty stallion of metallic beauty in place. It never seemed to show not one spec of residue at all, it simply always smiled back at Damian with it's permanent Grill-like smirk. But Damian had no intention to smile back.

As Damian puts his keys into the ignition, quality of such rivetingly disturbing memory had overcame him. Damian stared emotionless at the keys as the car hummed away. This time only just a month ago that same car was beside him, and his spiritual father was holding the keys in front of him, slumped, lifeless, his abdomen raptured from a bleeding gunshot wound crying "They've shot me. You must..RUN. Take these and GO!"..."But I can't leave you here!" Cried Damian. "There's something you must know you must join the seekers to stop them..It's the orga.." He begins to choke on his on words-He collapses and a bright red pool of blood spilled from his body, he died that day. Then all of a sudden Damian stopped remembering. He opens his car door and gets in, he drives off away from the library going down to the road supposedly where John Overlord was heading off to.

Ashlinn sat down on the arm of the chair which John was sitting on and looked at Max. ''Tell us more Max!'' she said and smiled. ''I want action! I for heaven's sake didn't stop working for something that isn't giving some good action'' she said. She then saw John with a new amulet. ''Hey, where did you get that shiny thing from?'' she asked.

Her own amulet was a dark red one and she rarely used it. She tried to grab it but John was too fast and Ashlinn fell over his lap. She laughed. ''Okay... This is weird'' she said and then got up. She then took a big pillow and sat on it, or more laid on it with her feet in the air. Almost like she was going to listen to a bed time story in stead of a new mission.

@BeautifulSnow He smiled as she tried to grab his new blue amulet as he quickly pulled it out of her reach. "This my dear Alishnn is a rather strange, rarely recorded soul that I recently found inhabiting one of the graves in the cementry. It is quite interesting. But now is not the time to show it. I will reveal it to you all later, after Max here talks" he said looking at Max whilst he then put the amulet into the top of his bag and took out of a special pocket in his bag his favourite fiery red one.

Max looked over at John and nodded, then turned to the rest of the group.

"As you all know, we have a mission to find a new soul here which is attributed to stone. John, has let me know he thinks it could have something to do with a soul located in the mountains, possibly even a golem. I have been doing some research as I waited for you guys to return. What i did find was a legend of a secret cave with a series of caverns in the Orthos mountains not too far from here. I suggest we go check it out, as this is most likely where our soul lies."

He held up his tablet with a map showing the group just where they would be traveling. he waited till they had a good look at the map before he spoke again.

"It seems the cave is hidden and may be sealed with a magic lock. We need to search it out, and undo any magic seals. It's gonna be tough, but we're a strong crew. We can handle it. Any questions?"

With that, Max sat down and awaited for whatever questions or comments the rest of the group had. He was really anxious to find out just what this soul was and retrieve it as soon as possible.

Damian finally had managed to find Max's house, he quickly parked his car outside of his grey unearthed pavement, He got out of his car and locked the doors of his vehicle then proceeded onwards to the front porch of Max's vibrant house. "Hello?" Said Damian, he slowly looks down to notice the front door of the house has already been opened. He pauses for a brief moment, takes a deep breath and pushed open the door quickly to find the rest of his team sitting around before him. Embarrassment clouds Damians face for a moment and overshadows him. "So sorry for being late, there was a bit of trouble with the traffic."

Damian looked around at everybody in shock and awe, he felt so embarrassed that he could possibly be late at an extremely important time like this. "So, what did I miss?" said Damian to John Overlord in an questionably eager manner. Damian's embarrassment vanished from thin air and out came excitement, he was ready, ready to face any danger that was thrown at him. This sickly eagerness had scorned him of continuing his sentence to ask even more questions.

At his quo he raised his voice slightly for all to hear. "I believe the sould we seek is a Stone Golem. Rather rare beasts that live in the mountains. From stories i believe they shall have both high defence and pjysical attacks although i do not know for certain as i cant find any mention of them in oyr library.

[antman0623]

Max waited till John was done speaking to add in his two cents.

"What John says is true. There may not be much information on Golems, but I do know my dad had one. At least my mom tells me he had a Clay Golem from the desert. I've yet to encounter one, but my mom says it was a hulking creature, with pure strength and strong defense. If this is a Stone Golem, it's going to be a huge asset. Now the other thing I've mentioned is the mountains might have a magic lock sealing the entrance. I've dealt with a few magic seals and they can be tricky. Sometimes its simple and easy in which we can remove the lock with little trouble. Other times, such as when I needed to open a door the basement of a dungeon on one occasion, it proved an elaborate puzzle and took me some time. Though I think we can handle it."

He stopped speaking for a moment and looked as if he was trying to think of something, when his tablet buzzed. Max picked it up and looked at the screen. There was a message from the seeker network. He turned back to the group.

"Guys, we need to get a move on. Seems the organization caught wind of the soul in the mountains and are on the way. we gotta move fast and get there before they do so we can secure it. So lets gather our amulets and any other supplies and head out."

John nodded and patted his bag. "All I need is in here!"

Alexandria fiddled with her cell before moving her hand to touch the cross shaped amulet at the base of her throat, it had been her fathers and he'd worn it on his belt for years, now that he was dead it belonged to her, standing up she brushed off her pants subconsciously "alrighty, let's go get ourselves a soul" smiling brightly she moves to go grab her jacket and wait for the others
