~Citadel~

Kerig paused for a bit.

"We will wait here."

Kerig nodded and stepped away from the portal as to not halt others entering the room and sat down near a corner's wall, the black mist swirling around him.

~Glimmer Spire Base, Spire City, Phoenicia~

Indher raised an eyebrow.

"You...? Helped me...?"

At first, she had no idea what he was talking about.
But then, it all came flowing back to her.
Being captured and questioned by that lizard in the dungeon below heaven's bane, choosing no less than a hundred of Retan's best mages and crafting a runeset so grand and complex that she succeeded in summoning a theory and bind it to this world through the body of the dark emperor...

"...You are that creep who sold me to Retan, aern't you?" she finally said with a sarcastic smirk "...Kelmarr."

According to her memory, he was weak willed and would be easy to keep in place and manipulate. She turned around and nodded to her students, signaling that the skunk was not an enemy. Some gave out a sigh of dissapointment and some wiped the cold sweat from their forehead, but they all gathered around in a curious cirlce to watch what further transpires from the encounter.

"Treasure hunter, you say?" she approached him with a mischivous smile and her hands folded "Attacked by a demon?"

Indher wondered what kind of demon was it. The typical, fire breathing winged humanoid? Or... Something else?

"Alright, I've decided that you will stay on this island until I have guarantee that the demon you speak of really didn't follow."

She turned around and waved her arm ferociously, as if trying to imitate the thunder of a ruler.
"Spread out! Trap any man or woman other than the ones you know who lacks the forehead jewel! If that demon survived, he WILL be dangerous! I don't have the time nor patience for needless revivals!"

The students all bowed, gave a slight yes and an attempted solute and ran to Elphos who proceeded to assign the students search locations.
Indher began walking back into the Glimmer Spire.

"You will be going up there with me, Kelmarr. Tell me about the crew of the boat and the demon. I also need to know how urgent would returning to the mainland be for you."
Her tone was still stern, but wasn't as cold as before. She seemed to be pouting, however...

- Southern Dark Continent, Kandarinian Prison -

Sienna climbed out of the cage. "Whatever it was that just did that, I don't want to wait around for it do it again." She picked up Puco and put her up on her shoulders. She then casted a speed spell on herself and then began to dash through the prison to escape.

- South-Eastern Kandarinian coast -

Marshall continued to summon up the giant minotaur, it would just be a little longer.

"Yeah, so are we still doing this thing or not?" Duilin asked. "I'm thinking of just flying up there myself and fighting it head on. It's going to come our way soon enough."

~ ~ Some deserted island ~ ~

The room was visible, yet empty. It appeared to be some kind of empty storage building with some bad quality hanging lamps hanged on the ceiling.
In the middle of the light there was a triangle formed table. Three people were sitting at each flat side of the table.

Two men and one woman. One man had long dark hair and looked pretty womanly for a man, his companion was clothed in black and wore a large, a really large and long black hat. The woman had long black, or maybe more purple hair and a sinister smile was filling her face.

- "Sooo... are we all set? It seems that Silver Root has made contact with the Kandies..." The woman started while moving a small figure on the table on which a huge map was lain. All sorts of figures were lying on it, indeed everything was set.

- "So who will we infiltrate now? Creating total chaos and Armageddon can be done best from inside of a huge imperium..."
This time the long hat spoke.

- "Hmm... we have better connection in Silver Roots than in the Kandarinian Sovereignty so I guess we'll start with them? Soon the undead will be ours too and massive wars will start... and the rest? Well they are close to corruption without our help..." He smiled.

- "I see... I never imagined that creating the end of a world was this easy..."

- "It ain't. It's just that this world is already covered in blood and war, we need only to push it a little to its end.
Chaos shall reign, and the damned will be sealed by mother earth... just like the beasts of the elder days..."

- "We may even use the most evil of all, for their destination is the same as ours."

- "Aren't we evil then as well?"

- "We don't rule with strength... we rule with malice. Fear is our weapon and the Loyal our shield, we are the only one that... can take this world by the way it should be taken...

With a broken sword and a mind of steel"

- "We may want to reforge that sword. The crow has left its nest."

~ ~ Tjed coast ~ ~

An old fisherman is catching fishes clothed in green looking poor. Probably no children and a death wife, and a golden ring is hung on his neck. Only one with perfect eyes could see the golden shine from the ring under the dirt, lucky or unlucky... crows have good eyes.

You see as a huge black crow nears the man... it is suspiciously huge and really flying close to the earth...

Flying right at the man the man tries to hit it with his fish, however only a fool tries to hit a bird.

The crow rises with furious speed, and descends withing moments. You see the man looking up, and you know that was foolish. The crow pecks him in his face and while the man rises his hand to cover his bloody face the Crow flies further down taking the ring and breaking it of its chain and flies away.

You see the man holding his face screaming in pain... then he falls on his knees apparently noticing that his ring is gone.

He cries.
He cries.
He's miserable.

His only beauty lost... to a crow?

That is foolish...

with that you leave the man in his misery.

-Glimmer Spire, Spire City, Phoenicia-

Kelmarr let out a sigh of relief and took to following Lerfina back into the massive spire.  Phew... the way she looked at him, he thought she would summon another gigantic death god or something...

"Er... um... yes, m'am."  He followed along meekly, suddenly not feeling quite so sure of himself.  Blast it, how did he get into these messes?  He just wanted to find a place to sell the stupid sword and get out.  Ugh.  Now he was going up for some interrogation.

"The sailors were..." NO!!  He was NOT sleeping in the cargo hold of a fishing vessel!  He cleared his throat.  "Well, it was an upper class transport vessel.  Of course I wouldn't be riding in anything less...  Anyway... While in my... cabin below deck, I heard the crew above screaming."  He put a hand on one of his daggers and walked a little taller. "Naturally I went up to investigate, but I arrived too late and found the crew's flesh had all been melted off and nothing remained of them but skeletons...

"The demon itself resembled a human child, at least most of the time..." He shut his eyes and shuddered before shaking it off and continuing.   "It conjures up pretty powerful illusions.  Naturally I saw through them, and we did battle.  Unfortunately a storm capsized the ship before I could kill it and I awoke on the beach front here..."

He thought about her second question a moment, and things started clicking... "Hmmm... Although I am a very busy skunkular, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to stay here a bit.  I did loose my money when the boat flipped, though.  Luckily I have all my enchanted weapons.  Perhaps I will need to sell one to get by for a while.  Like, I don't know, this sword on my back. Could do without it, I suppose.  Know anyone that may be interested?"  The edges of his muzzle curled in a smile.

//Wow, I'm gone, and DAL stops. Cool.\

- Southern border town -

The fortress in the middle of the city continued to angrily spew flame over the streets, though no one was present to burn down. All of the Kandarinians left the town, and set up camp around the city's outer walls. A few of them dragged some of the city's citizens out, for the sake of taking their rage out on them. The shine over the fortress increased still, this time definitely cutting through the clouds. (2/5)

--- --- ---

- Mournbury -

-"You were not informed, pan Manteia?", Joseph asked quizzically. "The assignment came from... not our captain, actually... The fifth Regiment's captain, Flora Goethe, requested that we make our way to the South-Eastern coast as soon as possible. There, we are to meet up with her task force, and command them to repel some intruders that invaded the Kandarinian soil."

-"Yes," Ekaterina added quietly. "It is also expected to be a rather large task force... In every manner possible, I presume, as it is Regiment 5."

-"Well done on stating the obvious. Now, pan Manteia, we've prepared three transports..."

Somewhere from beyond the blooming trees of Mournbury, three undead wyverns shot up into the air. They circled the hamlet once, and landed near the Necrolytes.

-"We best get going now."

--- --- ---

- Pistis room -

Eris hopped down from the table, and took on an imposing stance before the council.

-"You seems to know an awful lots about me... Knowing my rank alone without ever havings seen me is too muchs already. You should be awares that at this point yous probably have a powerful weapon aimed right at your armada. Trusts me, it can slice all three of your pretty floating things right in half."

A little more relaxed now, she drew up a chair and seated herself in front of the council table.

-"Now, let's start from the beginning, shalls we? Who are you, where did you come from, and how do you know about my rank?"

--- --- ---

- South-Eastern Kandarinian coast -

The beetle paused for a second, as its last spine was drawn inside of it - and then fired the whole row of spikes right up into the air. They made a long curve before raining down on the remaining troops, impaling many of them on the spot. The Necrolytes inside didn't seem to bother even using their bodies before wrenching the still-bloodied skeletons out of the corpses, and adding them to the creature.

~ ~ Some deserted island ~ ~

In a dark storage building only lighted by old lights, a triangle shaped table was placed. At that table three people who sinisterly were planning the end were sitting.

- "I wonder whether the Kandarinian will get along with  Silver'Rs?" The sly woman asked with troubled tone.

- "Don't worry Ray, even if they will soon we will have them in our might and then we will decide all. Now the long haired man was speaking, his eyes shining blue.

- "I cannot wait to see this world turn into chaos... and save all worthy." The long hat man had a light and free tone, and his round glasses hid his eyes behind red glass.

- "I wonder, I wonder still, who is that crow that you speak of?"

- "That... crow that you spoke of before, what is it? I know you mentioned it some time ago but I do not remember its importance.."

- "I was wondering too."

- "Well my friends, let me tell you a tale..."

~ ~ Above the seas ~ ~

Its wings are black, its wings are huge. Black feathers fall behind it.
The crow flies with speed unseen, and proceeds to the far away land.

Something shone in the deep, and at that moment the crow dives down as if trying to catch a fish. The golden ring still in its mouth it flies into the water...

A long pause.

Did it drown? You hope so.

However it is just a wish for the foolish.

Soon the crow rises out of the water, with almost the same speed as before, turns and continues its destination. A golden chain was hanging next to the ring now.

~ ~ Mournbury ~ ~

"I see, let us go then panowie i panie." He slowly came closer to the unlife beasts. He sure disliked such creatures... they flew to fast for his taste.
For he didn't mount on such things allot he had some trouble on getting on the beast and felt uncomfortable on it. When he looked at the other two beasts his new pupils were already sitting on them.

"Well..." The creatures stretched their wings, and began slowly to raise.

"Show me the ways to the unznane, and I follow you because I have nothing else that can do...

Niech ogien nas nie pochlonie, lecz smierc go owinie."

[Let fire not embrace us, but let death embrace it]


~ ~Silver Root ~ ~

Heil smiled.
"I see, then we should be careful shouldn't we?"
He raised his hand. "I'm Heil, the Mocarny, or better know for your lands, master of this country named Silver Root. My rank would be something close too... the rank that Kronos has to the Sovereignty?"

Smiech was looking down on the woman who sat next to him, and turned his head with a "Hmpf" while Tron was eying him looking very frustrated by the way that he treated his guest. Heil ignored them.

"Our knowledge?" ROKUSHIO was now speaking.
"We are travellers, a moving island not fools. We will not land on a place if we have no knowledge of it... Our scouts or maybe spies have already scanned your and your enemies lands some time ago."
He looked at her with his handsome face his long blonde/red hair as if sparkling.
"We have no intention of war with your men, however in trade for shielding our civilians we may aid you with your troubles. It is however you want it, but do not underestimate us, for you are alone on this ship now and escapin-"
Heil let him stop by rising his hand again, showing that intimidating the captain was not the answer.

"We came from far bringing things that never have been seen here. However I guess you did not enter this ship with friendly intentions, is the war going dark that you have such a need for violence?

~ ~ southern border town ~ ~

Puco was smiling brightly on the back of Sienna, having apparently lots of fun.
"Yeaeaea!  Letsa goo!"
She clapped her hands once, and put them on Sienna's shoulder, she could feel the enhancement on her body for Puco made time go slower for them or them go faster. Whichever way it was done, Sienna gained now even more speed than before.

"We .... are going... faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast!!"
Puco clinged tightly on Sienna to not fall of.

"Let's go Sienny! Jump over the walls! Jump over the houses! Weeeee~!"

- Southern Border Town -

No matter what, Sienna could always count on Puco to lighten the mood. Whether they were in a deep serious conversation or running away from some fire-shooting-thing, Puco always had some cute thing to say.

Sienna quickened the pace, realizing that she casted a spell with that thing on her, odd. She jumped over a house, just like Puco wanted and then zoomed up into the air over the walls of the village. Faster and faster she moved until they were fairly far away from the house. She stopped leaving a skid mark in the grass. She turned around and looked at the village.

"You think this is far enough?"

They did move incredible fast, however they weren't out of the city... and suddenly something went wrong...

Puco's arm started to hurt. She grasped it screaming... it was the amulet.

She forgot about it? Did it stop her magic... or delay it!?

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"

The magic that she cast was now eating her... the spell was reversed! The pain... but she only cast it, but what happened to her Sienny now she had two spells cast on her?

With fear in her eyes she looked crying at Sienna.

- South-Eastern Kandarinian coast -

Akran got up from the ground, a little dizzily. He stumbled forward as a series of coughs hit him. He looked around. What the hell is this place? His crew was rising to their feet too. One of them stepped towards him.

"What are you doing?" asked Martin, "You really think an arrow will do anything to that?" He pointed behind Akran.

Ignoring the question, Akran slowly turned around. "Argh, god!" he cried, seeing the giant beetle thing. "W-what the fu-"

He stopped. His eyes widened even further as he looked down at his right arm. "OH MY GOD! M-my arm..." He was starting to panic. What the hell is going on?  

Someone was talking to him. Akran looked up. The guy had a bunch of tatoos on his chest and looked like a seasoned fighter. Was he talking about a bow? Akran looked frantically around and saw the raven bow on the ground. He picked it up.

He took a deep breath and rubbed his face. He tried to keep calm, but a slur of questions just poured out of his mouth, "Where am I, what the hell just happened, and what in god's name is... is... t-that" He raised a shaking finger towards the monster which now looked like it was sucking the skeletons out of the soldiers around it.

- Southern Terian -

"It's okay...just..."

Sienna started talking very, very slowly.

"...calm...down...everything....will...be okay..."

It appears that her speed spell was also reversed by the amulet on her arm. But she didn't even notice it just yet.

Storage building

- "Gaian is a magical world, a more magical world than anyone now living can imagine, a sin, a scar in the universe. How long Gaian existed is unknown, but I believe that Gaian is the start of all magical source.. To explain to you how great Gaians past is, I dare to guess that it has hundred more past than the Essylian Realms..."

The others opened their eyes brighter listening closer now.

-"To actually remember the tales of origin one must be over hundreds of years old. Only to remember the vague legends, we can only guess how long ago the events happened if we choose to believe them.
Then in those time, Gaians existence was already settled, and the world was a dark place for magic covered it. Creatures of evil lived back then, demons on can call them but the demons of today are angels compared to them. Maybe men didn't exist back then, maybe they did, we don't know, but those creatures surely did.
These times are called the Elder Days, and we call the beasts of those times the Elders. They clinged to their existence based on demonic magic, and when time passed and magic was gradually being forgotten these beast kept holding their ground. Now their are sealed in the earth still holding their secrets and sleeping waiting to be awakened.

Apparantly one... has awakened. I have no idea why, but to be awakened he must be in the later layers, thus closer to the earth waking up easlier but it is still a wonder... I'm amazed. To ever meet a Elder..."


He began to laugh.

- "Maybe he's sealed as a crow which sealed his magic in, making him easier to wake... but when he'll awaken fully... we... will... meet... THE SURVIVOR OF THE CREATION OF MAGIC! Magic that we know now is only an echo of the magic of their times!! It is less than one percent of power!! If he'll awaken... the magic that we damn will raise!! Not only WE but EVERYONE will gain magic skills for the echo will be more powerful! More! MORE! We have to get him on our side... then ... MAGIC WILL BE OURS, AND WE MAY PURIFY THIS WORLD!!"

Muhahahahahahah... a sinister laugher echoed of the walls...

- Glimmer Spire hallway, Spire City, Phoenicia -

"Is that the tailed one we were told about?"  Francis drew his hood over his head, ducking back into the dark hallway.

"It must be.  How many sentient creatures do you know with tails?" Charles muttered, placing his hands in his robe.  The two ducked down and whispered in the shadows.

"True.  But we were told he would be gray... And his arrival seems early."

"Fool!  He's white and black.  White and black make gray.  It's code!"

"Ah!"

The two paused when footsteps echoed throughout the hall.  After the echoes faded they placed the cowled heads together and continued whispering.

"But why would he go straight to the rune master?  It's as if he's begging to be caught..."  Francis scratched the stubble on his chin.

"No, he is purposely making his presence known to avoid suspicion!  There is a higher genius at work here."

"Ah!"

Just then, the jewel stuck to Francis' forehead slipped off and clattered upon the floor.  "You fool!" Charles yelled at him as silently as possible..  "If we are to pass as proper Phoencians, we must keep the jewel affixed to our foreheads at all times!"

"I know, I know!"  Francis nervously removed a tube of some paste from his robe and applied it to the flat side of the blue crystal.  He then stuck it on his forehead and held it there with his fingers. "It just slips off sometimes..."

"Stop sweating so much.  Just relax.  I will make contact with the tailed one.  You return to base and report to Sir Hans.

Francis nodded, still holding the jewel to his forehead.  The two stood and parted ways, their robes flowing as they walked.

~ ~ Glimmer Spire hallway, Spire City, Phoenicia ~ ~

Shuichi followed silently.

~ ~ Dark Road ~ ~

A clan of occults were passing by, over two hundred black clothed figured slided on the road. Many rises their heads when seeing the weird men pass by, but quickly hid them and walked away almost running, for they felt that the group held no good.

On the front one clothed figure looked bigger, it was probably the leader. One of the lesser ones came closer to him.

- "Far yet?"
- "No, we will arrive within an hour, after walking four days I do not walk anymore."
- "Me neither... and when we'll arrive, then lot's of work awaits us."
- "Yes, but we did ask for help to create the ultimate creature... and the master agreed to help us. I guess that over hundred of his men will be available... that makes quite an army. Summoning hundred demons..."
- "And merging them together..."
- "Creating a creature that can be compared to the Elder... well maybe not, but it will still be uncontrollable."
- "Then his part comes in... making it controllable... I wonder what he'll do?"
- "He said he would make a wischy out of it, whatever it may be..."

As if they didn't have feet, they slided on...

"Okay, this is getting boring." Duilin yawned. "Marshall, sick your Minotaur on him."

"Uh...okay." Marshall replied, just as he finished summoning the giant bull-man.

The minotaur roared and lifted it's hammer above his head and then charged towards the giant beetle and then smashed his hammer down on the beetle's back...

-"That," Ein sighed, "is annoying. Why don't you prove to me that you're not a Kandarinian spy before shooting another arrow at that thing and having it conveniently rebound back right in my face?"

Regardless, Ein knew what he had to do.

-"I think I know what we can do now. Marshall, summon something for me to fly on. Duilin, go aggravate it so that it fires off another volley of spikes. Oh, and Marshall - be sure that it's something I can etch a glyph on. Thanks."

--- --- ---

- Southern border town -

The clouds completely vanished, revealing what seemed to be a pillar of light, forming right over the fortress in the middle. (35)

Several soldiers who still hadn't made it out of the city rushed past Sienna and Puco. A few of them stopped to take a closer look.

-"Hey," one said. "What the hell're you doing with those protection amulets? Who gave 'em to you? Giver' here!"

He tore the amulet off Puco's hand, while another one took care of Sienna's.

-"Now get out of here! This city is on a trip to hell, and unless you're hitching a ride, you do not want to be near it when it goes!"

--- --- ---

Eris awarded Rokushio with a scrutinizing look.

-"You says you do not want a war with us, and yet you send spies into Kandarin. If yous are here with peaceful intentions, why did you not just come to the Citadel, knock nicely, and ask whatever questions you needed answered?"

She leaned back in her chair.

-"Besides... There's no need for war with peoples like you. As I repeated several times now, one blast of the Sovereign's Hammer will down your ships with relative ease. But even then, right now that isn't necessary."

The captain sighed a bit.

-"The problem with firsts impressions is that you only get one, Mr. Heil, and you aren't making a very good one. I can just stabs you in the throat right now, and do off with those generals of yours here. As you yourself pointed out, I may have entered your ship with hostile intentions, and here you are telling me that you are the Sovereign of these ships. Now, why don't you tell me exactly what I will put in for my report to my Sovereign about this incident? Three ships ruled by peoples hard with logic are invading the Sovereignty with their spies? Help me out here."
