Fairy Tail: United we Stand REMAKE

You can join in on the Blue Pegasus one, how you do so is up to you.

I won't be bringing Victoria on it because my other character Zy is already going.

Fairy Tail: United we Stand REMAKE

The walk back to Magnolia was a pleasant one. The sun hid away between a curtain of clouds that slowly drifted across the skies towards the horizon. Yukiko loved the idea of the horizon, and always found it curious when people referenced going beyond it. Was that really possible? No, of coarse not. The horizon would just move with you. It'd be like chasing your own tail. The thought was rather amusing, but also made Yukiko somewhat sad. She started to regret settling down in Fairy Tail, for she believed herself to be just like that horizon that so many sought after. She needed to keep moving, always being two steps ahead of whatever it was that pursued her. On the other hand, there was a strange curiosity that plagued her regarding the creature that hunted her. Yukiko wanted to know who they were, and why they were after her. Ever since she had awoken in the forest a week ago, the only thing she had ever known was that she was being chased. She shuddered in fear, wondering when the time will come that she would need to fly away again to save herself. She was pulled out of her thoughts quickly by a bombardment of questions from Haust. She laughed a little, he was definitely scrambling to start a conversation of some kind. Yukiko appreciated it.
"I'm only 12, Mister Haust. My flying isn't magic either, it's just something I can do. I'm learning windy magic though!" She fluttered her wings, pushing herself off the ground a few feet so that she could be at eye level with Haust. She gently moved to position herself to face him. "I don't know nearly as much as you do. You were incredible back there." The little girl couldn't help but admire him for what he had accomplished back at the ocean, and when he told her that they could continue to work together it made her happy.

When Haust brought up food, Yukiko could feel her stomach start to grumble. She made a quick landing, folding her wings behind her before continuing to walk. It wasn't safe flying on an empty stomach.
"I'm feeling really hungry as well," She was craving custard and fish, although probably not at the same time. Actually now that she thought about it, yes, she definitely wanted both. She looked around, and in the distance she saw a small cafe. Pollux had given her a little money for the trip which she hadn't spent, so what better time to spend it? "Mister Haust, look! Can we go? Please?" She clapped her hands together, pleading to the dragon slayer.

-------------------------

Different people leave different impressions, and at the Fairy Tail Guild this is no exception. The presence of power that surrounds Reaper and Mary, the showmanship flare that surrounds Vero, and even someone like Sanguin presented somewhat of a ferocious presence that all the guild members could not help but recognize. Indeed everyone had their own presence, and Victoria was no exception. While she would never be feared as an all powerful mage, or for any wild streak, it was of no question that the people of Fairy Tail respected Victoria. Their respect and admiration was something that she held most dear to her, possibly more than her beloved violin; which she carried in her gorgeous white case that had been generously given to her by a fan one night after a performance. Everywhere she went it seemed people loved to do little favors for her. Not that she didn't appreciate it, but it was certainly something she was not used to growing up in her home country. While her refugee story had been used by her manager as a means to promote her, it was no doubt that she was still particularly sensitive to the whole thing. Unfortunately the Magic Council of Fiore seems to have very little interest in foreign affairs, and so Victoria has continued to live her life here; blind to what has been happening in the place where she grew up. Not that it mattered. All of her family and friends were murdered before her eyes. Even now she still feared the Rune Knights, just because their appearance reminded her of the soldiers from back then. Although she had no reason to fear them, since they had been nothing but kind to her since she arrived. One of them even approached her after a performance bearing a wedding ring, professing his love for her. It would have been a nice gesture if she had actually known who he was. He was rather heartbroken that she declined, but it couldn't be helped. Walking through the streets of Magnolia, it wasn't long before people started to halt their daily lives just to talk to her, some even brandishing gifts.
"Victoria, you simply must try these. Freshly baked just for you"
"Can I have your autograph?"
"My daughter loves your music, we have tickets to your next show!"
"Can you play something for us?" Victoria smiled, starting to feel herself blushing a little from all the attention. It was something she would never get used to. She placed her hands over her heart and took a deep breath before talking to the crowd.
"My deepest apologies. I appreciate you all taking time out of your day to greet me, but I am unfortunately rather late as it is and I should not keep Master Pollux waiting." At her words, the crowd released sighs and groans of disappointment. Dispersing away from her as quickly as they came. It was rather saddening. They claimed to love her, but as soon as it became clear that she didn't have time for them they were suddenly disinterested. No matter. She knew there was one place where they would be happy to see her, famous or not.

-------------------------

Zy jumped as soon as Vero placed his hand on his shoulder. That tricky bastard needed to stop sneaking up on people. He quickly turned around, trying to mask his surprise with a grin.
"Oh, hey Vero. Uh, I wanted to um, apologise I guess for earlier." This was really awkward, and to make it worse Vero seemed intent on gloating on his screw up. He would have yelled at him and ran away again, but Mary was right behind him and Zy didn't think that she would let him get away with that. Zy stared at the insect on Vero's finger, admiring the detail. He smiled, punching Vero in the arm.
"What do you mean not good with the ladies? Can't you see who I'm talking to. This is Mary Boyce," He put extra emphasis on her name, "You can't really get much better." As he spoke, the guild halls doors gently swung open to reveal a young lady with long, blonde hair tied up into two ponytails walk in. Her elegant, pink dress fluttered behind her and matched her beautiful violin case perfectly. When Victoria entered the guild, she was met by a loud greeting from several of the members; a few even running up to her and hugging her. Victoria had been gone for almost three months on a trip to the Capital of Fiore for a private performance for the King. It was by far her most important performance and one that the Guild hoped she would succeed in, as having the King regard Fairy Tail in good favor was a rather opportune situation. Zy wanted to go up and greet her, but the only thing he could manage was blushing like a tomato and turning towards Mary.
"Mary quick, how's my hair look? Are my teeth clean?" He clenched his teeth in front of Mary, insisting that she inspect them despite how strangely uncomfortable this must have been. Zy's little crush on Victoria was known throughout the Guild, but no one really cared. Everyone just passed it off as him going after a celebrity, but to him it was much more than that. He was only a kid when Victoria joined the guild. A frightened refugee who could barely speak english. They'd grown up as close friends, but when she started becoming more well known for her music, they stopped talking as much.

Victoria smiled at the warm greeting from her fellow guild mates, but quickly pushed through them. She insisted that she needed to speak with the master at once. Pollux was waiting on a bar stool, talking to Alicia about the guilds finances. She coughed gently, bringing their attention to her.
"Oh, Victoria. You're finally back. A month late. That must have been one hell of an encore." The guild master joked, but awkward expression on Victoria's face caused his eyes to widen in shock. "You're kidding me. He kept you there for an extra month?" Victoria giggled, brushing her hair out of her face.
"His majesty was most pleased with my performance that he insisted I stay there at perform for the Queen's birthday celebration." Victoria took out a cheque and handed it to the master. Alicia looked like she was about to cry when she saw it. "He paid quite handsomely. I have no need for so much money, so I figured I would help the guild out a little."
"Your contribution is much appreciated. So I assume you're just here to say hello, and then you'll be off again for another month long performance?"
"Actually, I'm taking a little break for now. I'd like to complete some requests. I am a wizard of Fairy Tail first and foremost, afterall." Pollux nodded in approval, and with that Victoria walked away only to find Zy purposely looking away from her. She hoped he wasn't mad. Quickly approaching the group, she gave Mary a large hug accompanied by a fit of giggles.
"Mary it's been so long, how have you been?" She looked up at Vero and Zy and winked at the two. "Have you been keeping these two dashing gentleman in line?"

Fairy Tail: United we Stand REMAKE

Just a question. Who will be joining Zy and Mary for the Blue Pegasus quest? I need to determine whether or not there'll be too many people or if I'll have to create another quest. I'm gonna post tonight.

Well, maybe, assuming Final Fantasy doesn't distract me.

Fairy Tail: United we Stand REMAKE

I decided that I wanted to make another character to play as. Because why not.

Victoria Winchester

Victoria Winchester



"Rest good sir, and let me ease your pain..."

Character Theme Aurora's Theme

Name : Victoria Winchester
Nickname/Alias : The Voice of Heaven
Age : 23
DOB : 4th of May
Gender : Female
Sexuality : Heterosexual

Personality : Victoria is considered by most to be a perfect embodiement of what it means to be apart of Fairy Tail. She is friendly and loving, always putting her friends needs before her own. Some would say that her self sacrificing nature is her greatest flaw, as she often has trouble saying no to others and can sometimes be walked on unintentionally by others. Despite her sweet nature, Victoria is far from naive and has quite a bit of experience with the cruelty of the world, that she has experienced first hand. She channels her emotions through her music, the greatest gift she has, and has learnt to look past her pain and confide in others. She is strong willed and courageous, even though she may not look it, and her love Fairy Tail is only surpassed by her love of music. She enjoys playing for others, knowing that her songs can calm their hearts. She is very defensive of her guild, like most, but unlike the other inhabitants of Fairy Tail she much prefers to fight with words than with her fists. Victoria has an inability to lie or deceive others, and she struggles with keeping secrets more than anyone else. She's a very honest person, but not the best person to gossip to as she's gained somewhat of a reputation for tattling on others accidently.

She has been accused of being a blind follower of Fairy Tail, as her complete and utter trust in the guild and its members can confuse outsiders who might think its strange to be faithful to so many people. Many believe that she will only hurt herself by concerning herself with the worries of others, yet she remains resolute as she tries to help all those in need. She's rather awkward around men and finds it quite a struggle to talk with them. Her efforts to help others can be seen as her prying into business that isn't hers, although this is not her intention.

Arsenal : Her violin, her most prized possession, never leaves her side. She usually carries it around in an elegant, white case laced with pink ribbons and diamonds.

Magic Type : Holder
Mage Rank : B Rank
Magic :

Songweaver Magic: Recognised by most as yet another variation of Sound Magic, Songweaver Magic is classified as a holder type sound-based magic with emphasis on support and healing rather than direct offense. In truth, a Songweaver is so much more than just a Sound Mage. Songweavers are capable of pouring their very soul into their music, using a specially crafted musical instrument as a medium. Songweaver's use their magic to touch the hearts of all who hear their melody, enchanting their souls with powerful spells. A Songweaver's power is measured by their talent with their instrument as well as their own magic power. Being a holder based magic, Songweavers are completely reliant on their instrument. There are legends of powerful Songweavers in the past who have channelled their magic through their voice alone, yet this is an ability that has long since been forgotten.

Spells :

Calming Melody: Similar to the Celestial Spirit Lyra, Victoria's music is capable of touching the soul of any who hear it, bringing forth fond memories of happiness and peace to calm the minds of allies. People have often said that hearing Victoria's calming melody pains their hearts, to which she responds that it's because they are the ones most in need of it. Calming Melody can also strengthen ones resolve and grant them courage, even in the most dire of situations. Essentially, Calming Melody allows Songweavers to boost morale and ease an aching heart.

Ballad of the Fairies: Victoria plays a song that creates healing soundwaves that she can spread out over her allies to heal minor injuries. Victoria can choose to focus all of her power onto a single person, allowing her to heal that single person of more serious ailments. Ballad of the Fairies also restores Magic Power and revitalises the body, removing fatigue and increasing stamina. Ballad of the Fairies can also remove poisons from her allies. Victoria can use all of these effects on herself as well, except for restoring Magic Power.

Aria of Fortitude: Victoria's music weaves itself around her allies, granting a significant boost to their defenses. Allies under the Aria of Fortitude move significantly faster, gain resistance to magical ailments such as illusions and poison, and receive a stronger defense to physical attacks. Additionally, the Aria increases healing effects from Ballad of the Fairies. Victoria can only have one Aria playing at a time and none of her Aria's can effect her. All of her Aria's continuously drain Magic Power to be kept active.

Aria of Strength: Victoria's music weaves itself around her allies weapons, creating five enchanted musical notes that circle around her target. Each time an ally attacks or is attacked, one of these notes will release a magical burst that damages and blinds enemies who are too close. The ally who is targeted with this spell is not affected by the damage or the blind. Additionally, while there is at least one note remaining the ally in question will gain a significant boost to their physical strength and stamina. While Aria of Strength is playing, any ally that is affected with Ballad of the Fairies will receive a spell shield that will completely block one hostile enemy spell.

Aria of the Arcane: Victoria's music weaves itself around her allies, increasing their magical abilities. Aria of the Arcane increases the power of all spells cast by its target by a considerable amount, while also unlocking her allies latent potential; giving them expert control over their magic and spells while the Aria is active. The cost of all spells is reduced significantly. Any ally affected with Ballad of the Fairies while the Aria of the Arcane is placed upon them will cause their next spell to not cost magic power.

Lullaby: Victoria plays a soothing melody that increases the drowsiness and fatigue of her foes that hear it. By itself it won't put them to sleep, and strong willed enemies are able to push through the spell. It is especially effective against weakened enemies. Alertness counters this spell, so it isn't very applicable in combat situations where it would be expected to be used. Rather it is a helpful tool to aid in missions that involve sneaking past groups of adversaries.

Unstoppable Hymm: One of Victoria's ultimate pieces, which can only target one ally. Victoria cannot play any of her Aria's while Unstoppable Hymm is active. Victoria wraps her target up in a protective song, pacifying her target so that they cannot be harmed no matter what, while also preventing them from attacking. Additionally, enemies are drawn to the irresistable sound of her Hymm, forcing them to attack her pacified target to no avail. A strong willed person is able to resist the hymm, and her spell can only remain active if Victoria is able to sustain the hefty magic power usage it requires. At best she can keep her target pacified for up to ten seconds. This can be used to save allies, as the only thing that will be able to affect them is Victoria's Ballad of the Fairies.

Ballad of the Fireflies: A powerful healing song that can only be used on any ally who has recently been healed by Ballad of the Fairies. Allies that have already been slightly healed by Ballad of the Fairies will start regenerating their Magic Power and Vitality rapidly; healing major wounds over time and relinquishing fatique whilst restoring stamina. It is indeed a spell that can turn the tide of battle, but comes at a hefty price. It requires essentially all of Victoria's remaining Magic Power to pull off and it will not effect her, even if Ballad of the Fairies will. In most cases it will actually render her unconscious if she is already in a weakened state.

Biography : Born to a poor family in a 3rd world country not far from Fiore, Victoria only knew war as she grew up. The conflict between the surrounding nations in which she called home had gone on for many decades before she was born, with powerful dictators trying to claim everything for themselves with no regard for the citizens who they were once sworn to serve. Victoria watched her older brother be brutally beaten by soldiers for trying to protect her from them, as well as watched her own parents be stoned to death for asking for extra food rations. Her brother, Tristan, blamed himself. He cried himself to sleep every night in their run down little shack in the back alley of a local buthcer. One night, Victoria couldn't bear to hear her older brother; who she had admired for his bravery and strength, cry anymore. She sat by his side as he slept, stroking his hair while singing a beautiful hymn to calm him. It was a song their mother had sung to them when she was only just a baby; back when the sounds of gunshots and bombs made her cry. Upon hearing her voice, Tristan's tears dried up, and she even caught the attention of the butcher who was working late that night. Impressed by her talent, the butcher came and saw the siblings every night; offering delicious meat in exchange for being able to hear Victoria sing. Before she knew it, she had set up her own little business among st the local shopkeepers. She offered private performances for them in exchange for food, clothes and anything else she and Tristan might need. A local seamstress even offered to give the siblings a room to sleep in if she sung for her grandsons birthday. They were a poor family, so they couldn't afford anything extravagant like a cake or a present, so Victoria was glad that she could make the young boys day special. Eventually the soldiers took notice of what Victoria was doing and confronted her, claiming that she was extorting innocent civilians and that she had to pay for their goods with money like everyone else. When Tristan stood up for her he was immediately struck down and beaten by two guards. Victoria pleaded for them to stop, but they insisted on teaching her brother a lesson in respect. The guards took their punishment too far, and by the time they stopped Tristan was long since dead. Weeping for her lost brother, she did the only thing she knew that would ease her pain. Victoria sung a melody more beautiful than any she had ever before, and its power resonated with everyone in earshot. People were brought to tears by her song, including the guards that had murdered her brother. This caused the attention of a rather powerful, influential man to seek Victoria and insist that he claim her as his own personal bard.

Taken from a life on the streets to a sudden life of grandeur, Victoria could not help but feel bitter and resent those who could live such lavish lifestyles after she and her brother had suffered for so long. The room she stayed in was large enough to hold an entire family, and yet it was hers and hers alone. It was disgusting, but she knew that she wouldn't be allowed to leave. The man had said so himself. She would be his forever, her only purpose to would be to entertain him and his friends at his numerous social engagements. The man was good friends with one of the ruling dictators who started the war, and he was to host a party in his leaders honor; where Victoria would sing and play the dictators favorite instrument for him. She was given an old violin that the man had found in his home. It was far from perfect, but the idea of learning to play an instrument did excite her; even if it was to entertain someone so despicable. She found herself to be quite a natural with the instrument, and when the guest of honor arrived she made sure to blow him away with a performance that he would not soon forget. In fact, he was so impressed that he even bought her for a rather large sum of money. At the age of 14, Victoria was the personal bard to one of the strongest men in the countries. If she thought her old home was lavish and extravagant, then she would definitely be shocked when she saw where he lived. The man's name was Giovanni, and he lived in an extraordinary palace with an entire auditorium available for not just Victoria, but the entire orchestra, to practice in. Needless to say the conductor was more than impressed by Victoria's talent with music, but she took particular interest in the strange way she felt when Victoria played her Violin. She described it as being able to feel every hardship that Victoria had ever faced within in every note she played. The conductor told Victoria of magic, suggesting that perhaps Victoria possessed the talents of a Songweaver. As a gift to the young girl, she presented Victoria with the most lavishly beautiful violin she had ever seen. Not only did it look beautiful, but it resonated with her. Victoria knew that she had to play this instrument. Her first performance for Giovanni was a marvelous one. Playing this magical violin really let her power flow through her music, and the effects it had on her audience were unbelievable. People from far and wide were coming to see her play at many of Giovanni's social events. Although she enjoyed playing, she hoped that someday she would be free to explore the world.

It seems her wish would be granted much sooner than she thought, when she was awoken in the middle of the night by her maid telling her than the estate was under attack. One of the rival dictators had taken the opportunity to lead a surprise assault on Giovanni, and the entire estate was fleeing to the underground escape route. Victoria was rushed out of her room, but not before she could grab her beloved Violin, and met with her conductor and the rest of the orchestra. She was about to head into the tunnels when Giovanni pulled her aside. He told her that the tunnels were just a distraction so that while the rest of the estate was being slaughtered, they could get away safely. Victoria was disgusted, and in a panic tried to run into the tunnel to warn the others of Giovanni's trap. Before she could get anywhere, a large guard grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back. Giovanni needed to flee the country, and he intended to use Victoria's talent to build a new life for himself in Fiore. When she next awoke, she was in the Port town of Hargeon among the rest of the refugee's coming from many different countries; seeking solace in Fiore. She thought she would be stuck with Giovanni forever, when fate intervened and an elderly man happened to take an interest in Victoria's violin. The man introduced himself as Pollux Vermillion, and he was a Guild Master of Fairy Tail. He could see the magical talent that lay dormant in the young 14 year old girl and insisted that she come with him to further her magic at his guild. Victoria was brought to tears. Pollux had saved her from Giovanni and she was finally able to live her own life. She continued to perform while training her magic, and she made many friends with other Wizards at Fairy Tail. Years passed and Victoria grew to be a famous performer all across Fiore. She was well known as a celebrity and was constantly being interviewed by various wizarding magazines. Knowing that so many people shared her love for music brought a smile to her face. However, she is most proud of her magical abilities flourishing. Her supportive powers have made her a desirable addition to any team on Fairy Tail.

Other : Her Guild mark is on her right shoulder, as well as branded into her violin.

Fairy Tail: United we Stand REMAKE

So in related video game news, I am really enjoying FFXIII. Square Enix just knows how to hit my sweet spot in video games.

Fairy Tail: United we Stand REMAKE

Well I mean yeah in a sense Sage Magic can be a pretty big counter to most people. looking at those restrictions though, which are very specific, Sage Magic looks extremely situational. Also I like how she needs consent to use it. Kinda makes it seem more like a magic intended to be used in conjunction with allies, which is very interesting. There's nothing really more to say aside from the fact that Phoebe's spells, while they do look rather powerful at first glance, are very well thought out and balanced. I also really enjoyed reading the history for her.

The only real issue is that all of our Lost magic user slots have been filled out, but I'm going to consider the fact that while Phoebe's Sage Magic would be technically classified as a Lost Magic, it was self created by her so it kinda loopholes around that. Phoebe is accepted~

Sorry I haven't updated the front page in a while. I got distracted this last week because I've been playing Child of Light. Also Final Fantasy XIII just finished downloading so,..

Fairy Tail: United we Stand REMAKE

There was a tranquil stillness to the ocean as the gentle waves tugged at the sandy shore, as if softly blanketing the land. The waters foam felt great against Yukiko's bare feet, and the tingling sensation made her giggle. Her wings fluttered in delight, spreading to their full wingspan. Some would say stretching out her wings was comparable to anyone else stretching out their arms, but Yukiko felt that this was an unfair comparison. Her wings spent most of their time tucked behind her, neatly folded away for the convenience of others. Spreading her wings was at least ten times more relieving to her than someone just simply stretching out there arms. Thankfully, she had both wings and arms. She could do both. Double the relief. It was no wonder people stared at her so much; jealousy was truly an ugly thing. The sunlight glistened upon the water like a thousand sparkling diamonds. The clear blue water blended perfectly with the azure sky along the horizon. Off in the distance, she saw something break the surface of the water before quickly collapsing back into the ocean. More and more of these small figures leapt out of the water, continuing forward towards Yukiko as if to greet her. Smiling, she flapped her wings as a gust of sea breeze gently wrapped itself around her, pushing her up into the sky effortlessly before she dived forward, arms outstretched, towards the flying fish that danced in the distance. She soared, her face only inches away from the water's surface. She smiled at her reflection, which was suddenly disrupted by a fish jumping up from the water; his fins gently touched the tip of Yukiko's nose. Curving herself upwards, she flew upwards into the sky before looking back down. The fish below her circled where she once was, jumping up and down. The ocean was so calm and peaceful, why would anyone ever want to live on land? The very thought of land only brought fear to her. She shuddered as she tried to remember the face of the one who pursued her. If only she could recount their appearance, she would feel somewhat safer. For all she knew, any stranger on the street could be the monster looking for her. She was interrupted by the crashing sound of thunder, reminding her what she was supposed to be doing here.

She quickly flew down to where Haust was. She was supposed to help look for the merpeople to help deal with them, but she was distracted by the ocean. She felt kinda bad, especially since Haust had cleaned up the situation effortlessly. She'd make sure he received her share of the reward for doing everything. There would be other missions afterall. She came to a stop near Haust, landing back on her feet delicately.
"Um, my apologies. I didn't really do anything to help out." Her wings folded behind her, and the two continued back on the road to Magnolia. Yukiko wasn't too pleased being put with Haust. Not that she had anything against him, it just seemed odd putting the new members on a mission together. "We should start heading back to Magnolia."

---------------------------------------

Zy was more than curious as soon as a familliar voice echoed through the Guild Hall, silencing everyone as the elderly woman walked in with her guards. There was a friendly exchange between her and the master, and as quick as she arrived, she left with a group of wizards to go and investigate Haven. Zy could swear he knew the woman, although not well. She seemed like a very powerful person, so he'd be certain he'd remember her if they had met. Alicia, noticing his confusion, spoke up from behind the counter.
"Meredith came and visited, requesting our wizards for a job in her town years back. You were only a young boy then." Alicia scratched away at her papers, pushing her glasses back up her nose while Zy turned back around to stare at what she was writing. She was filling out an official request form for the Haven Mission that had just started, as well as preparing an apology letter to the council for when they inevitebly found out that Pollux had gone against their wishes. Alicia speaking up proved to be quite helpful, reminding Zy of a time long ago when he had felt this same, overpowering presence as a young child. Although back then he felt that from every Fairy Tail wizard, being as young as he was, so he didn't think he'd be able to distinguish between them. Yet Meredith's presence was frighteningly familliar. Zy did not remember her being especially pleasant. As the group departed, Pollux spoke up to a few of the remaining guild members.
"The issue in Haven is being dealt with, however there are other matters that must be attended to." Pollux walked over to Zy and Mary, sitting next to the young man. He watched over the council as Alicia wrote away on her paper. "As much as I like to preach that we shouldn't let the ramblings of the council get in our way, recently they have become even more influential upon Fiore and I fear that even the slightest step in the wrong direction will have our beloved guild disbanded."

Zy turned around on his chair as the master spoke, his arms folded across his chest. Pollux ran his hand through his long, wirey beard, a sign that everyone knew meant he was thinking. Something was troubling the master, but before they could ask he spoke to the group once more.
"I'd like the rest of you to go to Blue Pegasus and help them recover a lost artifact of incredible power. It was stolen from them this morning and their Guild Master has asked for our assistance. Please get there post haste, this is an excellent opportunity to strengthen the bonds between our two guilds." With the Master's final word, he dismissed the group. Zy was about to start heading off when Mary grabbed him by the ear and pulled him to the side, demanding an explanation.
"Why you gotta get on my case, Mary? I'm just not feeling too cheery today, is all." Zy could tell from the expression on her face that this answer was not good enough, and he knew he wasn't going anywhere until she had a proper response. "I didn't mean to upset that girl before. Everything else was having fun with their magic so I just wanted to join in." Zy's lack of understanding social cues and responses was no secret, especially not to Mary. It was embarrassing having to be told right from wrong, as if he was a little kid, but he supposed it was better than messing up all his attempts to be social with others.

--------------------------------

The forest was eerily still and quiet, despite being broad daylight. A stream could be heard running in the distance, and the young lady that sat on a fallen tree listened to it's calming rhythm. She wore a bright yellow sundress with a sunflower tied to her ponytail. Her long, scarlet hair reached down past her hips and coiled on the ground below her. In her delicate hands she held a most mysterious item. A tome of dark magics was held in her hands. Not something you'd expect such a beautiful young lady to be walking around with, but in truth if one were to look closely at her porcelain face; there would be no mistake that this woman was more sinister than she would seem. Dark wisps of power floated gently from her lips and eyes, floating upwards into the sky. Her eyes were pure white; no iris or pupil to be seen. When she spoke, she spoke in a voice that was not her own.
"The lady of darkness is not coming, I see," her voice came out as a sharp screech, no doubt what had caused all the animals to flee the forest. "How disappointing. Master will surely punish us for this." The woman watched through the trees, staring at the Blue Pegasus guild in the distance. She knew that they were in a panic. This dark tome held power beyond compare, and it would surely aid them in achieving their masters goals. However, this was not what they wanted. She would definetiely be in trouble for not bringing Acacia with her.

Yes you can send it
