I think i'm done with wolf boy

Leon Hyksos


Leon holds his breath as Arteus' mass teleportation spell takes effect around them. A fast travel spell that seems to be questionable at best as Arteus did warn them about a small chance of getting lost between its spacial transitions. A sudden disclaimer that made Leon skip a beat for a moment.

Luckily, by the grace of the scions, none of the reavers nor the inquisitors got thrown off on some godforsaken parts of the world during this intermission and arrived at Cambridge safely.

Upon departing, The rogue fae immediately frisked his body for any missing equipment, such as his anti-magic dagger, his throwing knives and various assassination tools under his cloak.

Leon released a sigh of relief, knowing that both his daggers and body were still intact.

The fae rogue came well prepared knowing his grimiore warned him something was amiss in this place.

'You alright there grimy?' Leon mentally asked the book.

The grimoire was completely silent. The visible paleness of its cover and the nauseated look on its face state that it didn't enjoy the trip one bit.

Leon looks forward toward this massive hallway made of stones, Stone pillars filled with flags that symbolize their theologies and lineages. Castle walls as far as he can see. Church members run about, dressed in robes, having a cult-like vibe, having unsettling stares at them, and being treated like outsiders that they are.

The esper rogue can feel the tension around the church members, their whispers, their emotions, and their wariness. It's almost palpable from his point of view as one of them approaches inquisitor Grisha, murmuring something about a conflagration that happened within the city.

The very mention of this arson suddenly triggers his premonition, his eyes glow briefly, seeing a vision of four blurry silhouettes setting a poor man and his property in a blaze. A horrific death orchestrated by horrific people. A betrayal wrapped in cinders.

I know this is a church matter, but the specifics are hard to ignore. The sun beast might be closer than I think. I'm sure Lady Tethys senses it as well. The fae rogue thought to himself, briefly eyeing the Belua twins, Ruecian and Lapis.

Leon kept his perception in check as he tried to get more information about this 'Paradigm' faction rather than rely on a wonky vision.

~~

As instructed, Leon waited in a large room along with the other reavers, still wary of this unfamiliar sector. He passes the time by glancing at paintings of saints and patrons around the room. Dumbfounded on what he is looking at.

He might be skilled at stabbing criminals with his daggers, but when it comes to politics and religion, He might as well be sharp as a dull blade.

The fae rogue shifted his eyes towards the door as Arteus introduced a new reaver. A lanky yet toned woman with blue hair that has traces of esper magic lingering around her.

She must have missed Arteus's purple veil express back at the tower and traveled here by foot.
@HylianRose
Hi, is there room for one more? I like to join this school of unhinged nobles who exploit uses their knights to duel other knights for their entertainment to settle their difference. Seems fun.

As for the courtesy of answering the questions asked(if it's still valid)


Also, i have a few questions:

Let's say i submit an OC knight, does it require me to pair with another player or am i allowed to pair it with my own OC noble?

Does the school allow animal companions with their students (like a dire wolf/or a hunting dog perhaps?)

"And here I was, hoping to never see them again after this inspection." Leon frowned at the idea of spending more time with these church folks outside their own terms. His reception towards this joint exercise was rather vapid. He wasn't feeling the competitive spirit like the rest of the reavers; Like the fae lovers who rush in to do their 'training'. or the firecracker Eve who likes to be the center of attention wherever she goes. Or the bard, Einer who seems eager to become a better fighter and seems to have a past to where they are headed.

Nevertheless, The rogue fae was compliant enough since it was a direct order from the head reaver himself. This makes Leon wonder what kind of relation the reavers really have with the holy church? are they rivals? Is this some kind of wager on who is the better faction? and why did Arteus decide to agree to this?

The answer lies once they arrive at the state of Cambridge.

Leon takes a deep sigh before being summoned by the high priest to accompany her towards the tower's library.

You know there is trouble when Kiff is involved. It's time to face the music I supposed. The grimoire did warn that this day would come.

The fae rogue simply followed the High seer's request and walked as a group.

Leon kept his cool despite the uneasiness brewing in his mind. He keeps on walking alongside Kiff and the high priest, stealing glances at them.
Holding his tongue during the walk.

Leon kept silent as they arrived at the great library, Stacks of tome and bookshelves as far as the eye could see.

"So, you like books, High priestess?" Leon breaks his silence, asking the scarlet seer, feigning ignorance in his tone.

"Me personally, I've become enthralled with them ever since I've become a reaver. Mr. Luther has a wide range of grimoires, from the obscure to the rarest of its kind." He continued.

"Funny enough, out of all these millions of books and anecdotes from this library, the one book that caught my eye is the one that belongs to you." The fae rogue brazenly said with a smirk, standing in front of Tethys, lifting his cloak, revealing the cursed grimoire hanging underneath his belt.

"Is this what you're after right? No need to beat around the bush." Leon directly asked.

"You're really gifted, Ms. Tethys. The bar of all espers in the realm, able to produce a powerful sentient object. A book that can foresee the future. The soothsayers in our village would kill for your talents." Leon said, spinning and playing with the cursed book around fingers. You can see the faint black aura corrupting and shrouding the Fae's arm as he holds the malign tome.

"Label me an enemy of the holy church if you want, but I'm afraid I can't hand over you this grimoire just yet. I need its power to protect the ones I care about. Surely you'd understand?"

@AzureKnight

Unaware of the watchful eye from above, The Holy church representatives are being observed from a high vantage point by a certain fae rogue perched on top of a stony ledge of the Eon tower, Anticipating their arrival this morning.

"They are hunting you.." A chilling voice whispers in his ear.

"From the moment you form a contract with me, you've opened a can of worms upon my release. You shouda read the fine print, Fae." The grimoire said with a playful yet fiendish laugh."But fret not, as long as you got me, i'll take care of your problems." The mimic said with a wide grin on its pages.

"That sounds reassuring" Leon rolled his eyes and continued to peer into his binoculars.

"In any case, Do you know these people?" He asked.

"Let's just say I'm their past sin they try to sweep under the rug." The grimoire said, forming a wicked smile upon its cover.

The fae rogue raised his brow in curiosity. Why does Kiff have something that belongs to the Holy church? Also, what business does a malign sentient book have to do with them, to begin with? that sounds contradictive to their beliefs. Ugh, my head hurts. is too late now to return this accursed book to Kiff? Rather than pry into what the possessed book is trying saying. Leon decided to leave it as it was.

As the carriage arrived, The esper fae became more observant. Eyeing out each of the passengers going out of that wagon.

"Who's that stepping out first? She seems too young to be a knight. doesn't she." Leon peered through his scope and saw a young and beautiful paladin stepping out.

"That's Alexandra Haschwalth Vander. Careful fae, that young rose has thorns. ever heard of the Vanders? their swordsmanship is the bar of all swordsmen everywhere." The grimoire whispered in his ear.

"and that skinny guy with the scowl?" Leon turns his focus towards the white-haired man with his scope.

"That's inquisitor Grisha a.k.a. Mr. no-fun-allowed guy, a.k.a Mr. Killjoy. If there's any illegal use of magic involved outside the church, you bet your magus ass he'll be there to seize it. He seems to be the Shot-caller of this inspection." The grimoire childishly sticks out its tongue, expressing his disdain towards the slender inquisitor.

"And her. I recognize that scarlet hair, that ceremonial robe. that's the lady I saw from the vision and interrupted my scrying." Leon's jaw dropped after seeing the Scarlett soothsayer in person.

"That's the very talented High priest Tethys. The biggest sinner of them all, The hypocrite." The grimoire said, showing its pettiness towards its previous owner.

"I'm sure you could already tell the power difference between you two. If she's able to block your clairvoyance. can you imagine what she can do with her espermancy at full power? still, i don't get why she ever aligned herself with the Holy church, it seems like a waste of her talents. but fret not my little harbinger. You can surpass her with my help."

"I can?" Leon nonchalantly said as his eyes glowed, staring blankly at the distance. Captivated by the tome's words.

"That is if you're willing to go the extra mile and do whatever it takes to change the course of the future. You won't abandon me like she did, won't you?" The tome said with an enticing voice.

The knife-eared fae became solemn and didn't answer. He became bewitched by the book's proposition. For a moment, Chaos fills his thoughts, He was hungry. He was entranced. He was maddened with desire. He wanted power.

He wasn't gonna let go of this tome just yet.

~

The rogue fae immediately got dressed and went to the meeting. Shaking off the feeling of what the grimoire said to him earlier. Of course, its warning still lingers in his head. Leon can't help but become wary of these people.

So this is like an annual thing where we're supposed to get an evaluation from these guys? They look so dignified compared to the reavers. These guys are all about dishing out orders, huh?

Leon looks around and sees their not-so-subtle glances, like a noose constricting around his neck, getting tighter and tighter each time their eyes meet.

He tries to observe them thoroughly. Even with his telepathy, He can't get a read on what they are thinking. Perhaps this is the workings of the holy seer to block any form of mind reading.

Leon formed in line as the rest of the reavers introduced themselves. To the others, this is nothing more than an introduction. To Leon, this seems like a death row. A wild witch hunt trial to see which reaver is hiding something. The esper fae plays it cool and tries not to stir the trouble he purposely sinks himself into. Maybe they are just here to talk?

He took a deep sigh and introduced himself. Right after the timidly new guy named Uskeche, who reeks of death and seems to be glaring at someone invisible<?>. Bossman Arteus sure loves his novelties.

"I guess it's my turn, my name is Leon Hyksos. Espermancy. A former resident of the Ilthaca forest. now living in the streets, I guess?" Leon bashfully scratches his head.

"For the record, if this is some weird recruitment to join the holy church, lemme be the first to decline." Leon became more direct.

"I can sense Lady Tethys observing me from the moment she arrived here. her presence is already intimidating enough" He said to inquisitor Grisha while stealing a glance at the scarlet seer. She was quiet and elegant, a real saint if you ever seen one. Quite the opposite of what the malign grimoire just told him earlier.

For a moment, the esper rogue became dumbfounded and got lost in her deep blue reflective eyes. So this is the all-seeing psychic eye in the flesh? it's so mesmerizing.

"Err. Aside from that, If there's anything else the lady seer wishes, I'd be happy to assist her quarry personally." The rogue fae compose himself and tries to be tactful to the reaver's esteemed guest and ends on that note.

@AzureKnight


Great. just great.

Even with my superior foresight, i didn't expect meeting these two troublesome beauties over here. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to socialize for a bit. Besides, i'm parched. Consuming that amount of esper energy can be draining.

Leon's empty stomach rumbles as his hunger betrays him infront of Eve and Lapis.

"Ehem, I'm just here to eat." Leon clear his throat and makes his way towards their table.

”Donovan came by earlier and said that he wanted to talk to you about something, it was about the last mission we went on.”
-Evelyn

"I've already submitted the report to the higher ups. I'm willing to testify my report personally if Mr. Donovan wishes to." He compose himself and sits across the blue haired magus.

”Anyway, he said the heart of the matter was an item that could halt mana flow within a given radius of its vicinity. Eve likely blew it up, as she does everything else, but he wanted to ask you since you were there as well.”
-Lapis


"I supposed it couldn't be help. We're outnumbered by a horde of crazed bandits. If it wasn't for Ms. Evelyn's quick and irrational.. err bold thinking. We wouldn't make it out there alive. In some strange luck, Ms.Evelyn's destrutive spell save us." The rogue fae shrug, complimenting the star witch in a way.

"As for for the item. It was never found if i recall correctly. It got lost in the midst of the chaos. There's nothing you can do about that. Say you wouldn't tell on your brother Lucian about our little oopsie given the dire circumstance, ya?" Leon slyly smiles, looking at Lapis as if he was flirting with her. Something he pick up with his time with Lanus in a less creepy way.

"If only there was a reliable magus such as yourself during that time, things would gone smoothly." The knife-eared fae winked at her, enticing her with sweet words, hoping she drops the subject.

Ofcourse, Leon lied as he breaths.

He is a deceiver and a charmer. The quality of a true rogue. The anti-magic orb was indeed recovered under the safe keeping of Kiff and a piece of its shard were engraved in one of Leon's daggers.

”Umm…What made you decide to get all of those weird tattoos on your body? Is it a fashion statement, or is it a part of some new spell?”
-Evelyn

"Yeah, something like that, Hopefully I don't regret getting these." Leon sheepishly answered and became cautious about Eve noticing his runes around his body.

Ofcourse, He can always disclose that these weird tats is like a parasite. Causing to him lose his own sanity at the cost of borrowing its taboo power. But, why on earth would he do that?

"Hi, I'll have something that can replenish a weary magus, twice of each, Thank you." Leon said without any hesitation and turn his attention to the cook, Mrs.Bellum. Despite his small frame, his hunger seems to doubled ever since the grimoire bonded with him.

"Say not to be rude, but you seem to be a veteran at your craft and served the tower for quite some time now. Have you ever serve the holy church food during their visits? also, what are they like?" Leon asked the kitchen wiz. Hoping to get some clarity about his vision.


@Xaltwind
Heya, is this still open? I wanna join your crew if possible.

I was thinking of a priest turned pirate who cons brings people to salvation, spread the word of the 'seagod' and relieves them the burden of their worldly possession.
