The Three Kings (High Casual)

Having left the girls alone as soon as she dropped Lyn off, Joslyn headed right back to the bar and immedietly went to Adrian to let him know she was back. Noticing that there were a lot of people asking where she had gone, she couldn't help but frown and even had to bat at a few hands. "Hey boss, I'm back," she said with a smile on her face, "Just tell me what to do and I will do it!" In truth, after talking to The Thinker, she needed to get busy, the female made her nervous and put her on edge. She needed something to do, and she needed to tell Adrian what the hell was up as soon as she was able.

Adrian looked up as he heard Jossie walk back into the bar, then looking at his watch to determine whether or not she was on-time or late... or early? Somehow she was more-than punctual in her return, but did not appear to be winded in the slightest; this did not require a detective to figure-out.

"You've done enough for your first night." He observed, getting up from his chair as he saw that Miro was in no danger of killing himself in he sleep, "You're not in any trouble, but we need to talk." He paused as he moved over to her and parted the crowd to clear a way to the back-room, knowing he promised her a full night of work and a full night of pay. "You can help clean-up the bar after everyone else has left."

There were of course bemused groans from the crowd as they alternately realizd that Jossie would not be serving them for the rest of the evening, and that the bar would be closing soon; particularily a trio of young men who just came back into the bar after dissappearing shortly before Jossie left.

"Oh.... alright..." Jossie murmured, letting out a sigh as she followed close behind Adrian. She couldn't understand why he seemed on edge, she didn't do anything wrong, or at least she thought she hadn't done anything wrong. "Are you sure you aren't mad at me? I mean... you didn't seem exactly pleased with my prompt arrival. I told you that I would be back in 5 minutes, I came back in five minutes."

Noting that people were closing in on her, she reached out and grabbed Adrian by the back of his shirt so they didn't seperate from each other. She didn't like the feel of people pressing in around her, it bothered her greatly actually, so much so she was about to freak out. Pushing through them, she pressed herself against Adrian's back and hid her face in his back.

Adrian walked slower as he felt a tug on the back of his shirt, thinking it was an indication to slow down, this was followed almost immediately by Jossie's face bumping into his backside; it did not take long before he realized that she was clutching onto his back, a very strong indication of 'get me out of here' as the crowd steadily tried to fill the gap he'd made moments ago but with a single gesture.

Pressing on with delibate pacing, he and Jossie managed to escape the crowd through the double-hung french doors to the back-halls, and took her back to the studio where the noise from the bar could barely even faintly be heard. He gave the girl a moment to realize they were in the clear so she could let-go on her own. "Please, have a seat." He said, offering the chair in front of the dressing-room mirror as he quickly found a spare stool for himself amidst the clutter.

"It's a fifteen minute walk back to your apartment from here. You claim you went there and came back in five.... less than five minutes.." He carefully observed, noting how she kept shifting her wieght, "I'm just glad you didn't get stopped by the police, in a car that wasn't yours, drunk." He paused, knowing that wasn't what he was worried about.

"When you left, I half-expected you to pick up all your things and run, never to be seen again."

"What made you think I would leave," she said calmly, knowing that he took notice in her taking the car, "I mean, at least leave and not come back... I do not believe I gave any indication that I planned to bolt at the first chance. I wanted to work, and you gave me work... but now you aren't letting me work? I don't get you..."

Adrian closed his eyes, trying not to picture her in her current attire, more as when he found her in the apartments, "You volunteered to work tonight because you did not trust me alone not to tell on you to the authorities. When you left I wasn't sure if I'd gained your trust yet... Something important must be going-on for you to make such a sudden decision.... Who was that girl?" He finally asked as he fetched a flask of brandy and took a sip, not sure if the concern Jossie had for her was out of respect, or something else.

"She's.... um... she's my other boss. she admitted, glancing off to the side, "I am not at liberty to say much more, but she is staying in my home so she may rest up and heal. It's not like I am going to be sleeping there anyway... actually... where will I be sleeping?" She let out a small yawn and stretched, not at all bothered by the fact that she was essentially half dressed thanks to what he had given her. Actually... I wonder.... Letting out a small giggle, she jumped up and tackled Adrian, throwing her arms around him.

Before he could answer, Adrian was knocked over, but years of experiance prevented him from spilling his drink as he fell onto the clothes-stewn floor, with Jossie landing right on top of him. Gently reaching up to set the drink down on the dressing-room table, he then tickled the waitress until she'd let go. "There should be a fold-out bed in one of these rooms, then there's the storage-loft upstairs, all sorts of old furniture and owner-less clothes up there you could use."

Jossie squealed and squirmed over Adrian as he tickled her, however, she did not let up with her hold of him. "Nu-uh, don't think for a minute I'm letting you out of my sight...well... you know... accept when I left... but that was different ok?" she squeaked out, sitting up so she was now straddling the man, and giggling like a school girl still from him tickling her. "I said I was going to keep an eye on you and that's what imma dooooooooo." She looked down at him and booped his nose, a lopsided grin on her face, that is, before a dawn of realization crossed over her features. "Heeeeey, you dooo look better on the floor.... does that mean I get to kiss you then? Is that a thing? I heard today that was a thing."

The bar-owner wasn't sure where the waitress was going with her train of thought as she toyed with him; she was the one that left him, not the other way around. Then she made a bit of a non-sequirter observation that he looked somehow more adorable to her sprawled-out on the floor, and she saw that as some sort of invitation or reason for them to kiss.

"It can be a thing." He stated, humoring her as he rolled her beside him and pulled the girls lips to his, kissing her. [color=9w0b0f]"You look better down here, too."[/color]

Joslyn's face turned beat red when he kissed her, even drunk she was pretty sure that wasn't something that she should have expected from a man she had only met hours before. "Clearly drinking is dangerous," she muttered, "It was nice though... is it supposed to be that nice? Is it cuz I drank tuh much? This is a bad thing isn't it? You are mah bosss... sooo... I'm pretty sure... I don't know... It was nice thoooo...."

"The kissing or the drinking?" He asked, trying not to answer the wrong question, buth then deciding to answer both, "Probably and maybe. So try not to worry about it unless you think this'll affect your ability to work..." He re-assured her, stroking her hair away from her eyes as he looked around for where that fold-out bed wandered off to before giving up and kissinng her a second time, "you'd have to do quite a lot of kissing for that to get in the way of working..."

Joslyn's blush only seemed to darken when he kissed her again, leaving her momentarily speechless. Here she was, another kiss from she had only mean hours before, alcohol really did do crazy things to a person's mind. "Uh... right... lots of it... still sounds nice... bed... bed is a thing I should get too," she replied, clearing her throat in a nervous manner as she got to her feet, looking around a bit to see if she could find a bed. If she couldn't, she would just have to crash on his and he would have to deal with it.

“We are good Mira,” Idris replied, smiling at the Sage, “This is a normal occurance between the two of us, keeps us spry in our old age. Now, follow me… and Kailu you may as well follow as well.” With that said, she took a left, walked up the steps and led them past various doors and other hallways. The few students that walked around seemed to shy away from her, not out of fear but out of a silent respect. Idris was not known to be a strict enforcer of the university rules, but when she got angry it was as if she brought chills wherever she walked. She nodded in greeting to a few of them, keeping a brisk pace as she walked, the long tendrils of her blonde hair swaying with the movement. She pointed out different general areas, noting that sets of corridors were often devoted to different areas of study, six of them being the different elements. After two rights and two lefts, she slowed down near the opening of a larged curved hallway on the right. It was almost as wide as the main hallway, but on the far back wall it had three doors that were quite spaced out. The entrance to the far-left tower had a symbol of Darkness and Light carved above the door, the center tower door had the symbols of Earth and Wind , and the far-right tower had the symbols of Water and Fire above the door.

"If you haven't guessed it already, we are at the back of the castle near the towers that you probably saw from quite a ways away. They are your rooms while you are here... we couldn't have you special students live near the ordinary students; that would be absurd!" She paused again then sighed, but waved her hand forward in gesture to the three towers. “Your rooming arrangements are as follows: Scarlett with Mira… Trill… we will need to find sleeping arrangements for you within the area. Technically those who are not Sages are not allowed in the towers, but if you study while you are here I may be willing to make an exception. Erolith you will be with Summer… Morpheus you will be with Lanassa. All of your necessary belongings and immediate desires have been brought up for you. This includes decor, clothing, and bath items. If you need anything else-- and gods forbid you do not-- then contact me. I may or may not answer you depending on how I'm feeling… or if I am working."

As she said this, the sound of an eagle could be heard, the animal landing on her shoulder moments later. "Oh, well, look at that, I must be off! I do hope the students haven’t ruined the room too badly… I don’t want to have to fix it again,” she said she grumbled, “Go make yourselves comfortable… and try not to kill each other. The whole point of you rooming together this way is to learn how to not cancel each other’s magics out… there is no class for that… so work well together. Ta-ta for noooooooooooooow.” With that said, she waved to the sages and took off down the hall.

“Oh…” Summer murmured as she watched the female, “I don’t… I rather not… well I guess that doesn’t matter now does it?” Letting out a sigh, the female looked over to Erolith and simply waited for a few moments to see if he would go first, but at the same time she was terrified of rooming when a male.

Having been left to her own devices in front of the cylinder of clouds, Summer decided to inspect the woman further before doing as she had been instructed. The woman was wearing a dress very similar to the one Summer had thrown away before leaving her home, though the sleeves on the woman's dress were caught in the bend of her elbows. The woman's hands were gripped together in front of her chest and upon closer inspection, she noticed a wedding ring on her finger, which confused her. She was under the impression that the Sages never got the opportunity for love, they were sealed up in these tombs shortly after their victory... or were they? Finally, Summer looked up and stared at the woman's violet eyes, so like her own, but also so different. As Summer stared at her eyes, she nearly jumped in surprise as they slowly closed, a small smile forming on the encased woman's face. This alone was enough for Summer to finally reach towards the cylinder, her hand coming into contact with... a cloud?

Summer found herself standing on a cloud, but... How is this possible? I was in the courtyard not too long ago, how am here... and there? Summer looked around and nearly froze when she came face to face with the very woman who had been in the cylinder.

"Hello my dear, I am Havā... and your Great-Grandmother." the woman, Havā, said with a soft smile on her face.

"My... my what? But... but how? I mean... what is... how is this? I don't understand, how am I here?"

"I have allowed your mind to meld with mine for a time, there is much I wish I could both tell and show you, but our time together is short... and I am sure that Earth Elf will want to speak with you shortly. First, I want to apologize... I am sorry that I could not be there for you when you had no one, but this is where I was needed until it was time for you to come to me. Your experiences were also necessary, though cruel, in order to ensure you were... on the right path. Though you have been beaten and abused in more ways than anyone should ever have to be, you have remained kind and gentle. You stepped up to a Lord and requested to save a living animal, you have given Ostel the benefit of doubt when he came to save you from certain death. You chose to trust a Human male even though it was, in fact, a human that took your virtue and scared you, not just on the outside, but on the inside as well. You have a pure heart Summer, don't let anyone tell you different, or change you. I am proud of you Summer, so proud, and I am sure your parents would be as well. Stay strong young one, and please, be you, never settle for less than you deserve... and remember, your power is tied to your emotions. You will need to learn to control them, but that shouldn't mean that you are unfeeling. Never stop being compassionate, and never EVER hate, not even the Dark Lord. Hate will twist you and your powers, turn them dark and that is just not a way to win."

Summer looked down at her feet before looking up at Havā, "So... all those things that happened to me... were supposed to happen? I was... I was supposed to be... taken advantage of?"

Havā let out a soft sigh and put a gentle hand on Summer's shoulder, it was warm, "I do not have to pretend to like it Summer, and neither do you. No one should have to go through something like that, ever. But, you are all the stronger for it... Now… I must know why it is you are here."

Summer stared at the shifter before her, why was she here? Why did she leave the comfort of her home, of her daily routines? ”I don’t really know why I am here,” she murmured, ”I know what I am meant to do, I know I am supposed to help everyone seal… or maybe even kill… the Dark Lord. Maybe I agreed to come because someone promised me justice for what happened to me, but overall, I just don’t know.”

While the sage did not seem please, she was not upset either, but rather understanding of Summer’s thought process. “What do you hope to accomplish?”

”I want to at least be able to help everyone… even if I cannot do much,” she replied, ”I am out of my element here, I want… I want to learn more about what I am and what I am able to do. I want to be strong enough to… to be of use…. To others. I want…. I want to find out why he left…”

Havā could not help but frown at Summer’s last words, ”That is not something you can find the answer to here, not yet… but maybe soon. However, it is good to know that you wish to learn, for that is what you are here to do. Now tell me, what do you hold closest to your heart?”

”For the longest time, it was the human who saved me… I’ve been trying to let him go but it hurts too. Now? Now all I have is Merlin and my friend Lethilan… those are the only two living things I hold close to me now.”

”Lastly… my dear child, what are you willing to sacrifice?”

This last question left Summer a bit puzzled, what was she willing to give up? Did she have anything worth offering? ”All I have are my memories and my life,” the Elven Shifter replied, ”I would gladly give either if it meant helping keep everyone safe.”

”You have much to offer Summer, you will find your purpose soon enough,” the female said, ”I wish you the best of luck young one.”

Summer nodded her head and before she could say anything else, her eyes opened and she found herself in the courtyard. "But I... thank you..." she murmured softly as she looked at Havā within the Cylinder, her eyes now closed "I want to be strong, just like you... but I also want... to be my own person." Summer closed her eyes and let out a small sigh, trying to suppress the nerves and the fear as she held out her hand before her, only to find what was once empty, now filled.

Within the female’s hand rested a double bladed scythe, chains hanging from the center around where her hand was resting. On the edge of each chain was a sharp-bladed like object that she assumed could be used as a weapon. Where the blade met the hilt of weapon, a large topaz rested on one both blades, the gems rounded and when the light caught it, refracted light almost like a diamond.. From the center of the hilt going up a ruby, Aquamarine and emerald were embedded, each gem shaped like a four point star with their sides circling the hilt and almost touching on the opposite side. Beneath the center rested the Diamond, Opal and Black diamond in kind, the design similar to those above it. The metal of the handle was a light-gun metal gray while the blades themselves seemed to match the light color of the Topaz gem rested within. Curious, she gave the weapon an experimental twirl, the chains making a soft whistling sound, almost musical, as she did so.

Upon noticing that everyone had finished their interaction with their Ancestor/Predecessor, the cloaked female finally pulled her hood down to reveal the face of a young looking female. Crystalline blue eyes framed by dark lashes, scanned the new sages as she studied each and every one, her eyes missing nothing. Her hair fell around her shoulders in silvery-blonde curls that did nothing to hide her elongated ears, ears that held a row of piercings from mid-length to top. As she looked around, she rested her hand the nymph statue beside her, the glass globe that once held the six gems now gone.

"Well then, now that you all have what was meant for you, I would like for you to follow me please," the woman said, "Oh, and my name is Idris for those of you who wish to know... and I'm a Warlock." She offered a smile as she made a small motion for them to follow her.

When they all finally got over their initial shock, each Sage and their companion (for those that had one), proceeded to follow Idris to a gate on the other side of the Courtyard, a gate that lead into Darkness. Without another word, she opened the gate with the wave of her hand and led them into a cave that was so dark that they could barely see their hand in front of their face. They walked like this for what felt like hours, but was only seconds, before the cave came to an end and they stood in front of a portal. Before stepping through, she smiled at everyone and motioned for them to follow her once more.

When everyone was through the portal, they found themselves in a vast field with rolling hills and not a tree in sight. No, no trees, but there was a large castle like structure about 300 yards away from them. The castle was built of a mix of Black Onyx and Gold laced Marble stone with three towers aligned behind the structure, nearly reaching the sky. The Towers themselves were black in color with the gold-laced marble acting as the roof. The Gothic structure looked out of place in the sunny fields, actually, the whole "Sunny fields" seemed out of place with Tenebra.

"Parallel dimension so to speak," Idris said with a smile as everyone looked around, "If you like the outside, wait until you see the inside, it's literally whatever you want it to be."

She led them all to the University, once they reached the large front doors, they opened silently revealing a large Front Hall decorated in vibrant colors with the Dining hall branched off to the left. On the right side of the hall were 7 doors, 7 doors that seemed so out of place when it came to everything else. Each door was the color of an element, except for the seventh door, the seventh door was a mix of all the colors and seemed more… foreboding.

Huh? You have the memory of a goldfish, mate. What a shocker.

@Tulpa

You are aware that a goldfish having a 3 second memory is a complete and total lie right?

And with this I take my leave

Enigma, Dawn of the Rebellion (soft reboot)

If was the wrath of the Gods that caused the sky to rain fire that day, my memory cannot recall. Earth was the home of mankind and it was once a simple, peaceful place for centuries at times… Although, mankind eventually grew greedy, they became selfish, indolent, violent, and forgotten what was truly important in life. The Gods then become furious watching these humans destroy everything they worked so hard to create. So they attacked, killing off over half of humanity and, punishment for the rest... those left alive were enslaved, now long gone, and so we are their descendants.

The earth was... I guess you can say reborn. Species evolved, including some of the humans. Technology advanced.. Well, that which was not destroyed. Creatures men thought only existed in old tales, and nightmares began to surface, no longer needing to hide. So the Gods decided upon a new idea... 'Why not enslave the humans to these, their betters of old?' Thus their will was done... however, there are those humans who resist and resent these creatures, in secret and silence, gathering their army to claim what is rightfully theirs ... Earth.

Plot you ask? Obviously Choosing a side :3 ...fighting along side the Rebellion, or The Hierarchy.
