[center][h1][color=blue](Before anyone left the room)[/color][/h1][/center] Gregory smiled when the Templar and Magi were injected with the explosive device. " [color=green] Good. Now that you've been made obedient...it's time to tell you more about the mission. No one will know you have been sent on this mission , no one will no know that you are Magi *looking at the Magi*. So. You will be known as deserters and escapees 'till you fulfill your mission. Everyone will receive a reward if and when you return. The Emperor told me so himself. Even...*he pauses , sights and shakes his head* you two Magi. Even you two. From what I understood...believe me , it's hard for me to consider it myself. You will...be given a place to stay at the Capital where you will learn to use your...cur-- spells for the betterment of the Empire. In other words you will be free from the Citadel's prison. *some Templar already started making faces and whispering between them* Sush. If I even think of hearing a rumor of anything I've spoke in this room , I'll have your heads. No matter from what family you come from or whatever. [/color] " as he stopped talking the Shadow close distance between them. A few Holy Templar approached weapons drawn but Gregory made a " Halt " sign with his hand. He heard what Shadow said and laughed with wholeheartedly. " [color=green] I know about your reputation Shadow. *with a stern look on his face* You can't intimated me. *he put a hand on Shadow an a small electrical energy jolt exited his arm and entered Shadow's body ( nothing serious , just a small thing. Like...static energy but a little bit stronger. Not by much )* Don't look so surprised. I was put in this position not because of my great-great grandmother. I have my own enchantments *looking at James* unlike yours , mine come from the Empire not...Magi. I see you are an assassin with honor Shadow. So be it. You will have half your payment now and half when you come back. As for the bodies ? I think I can allow you and that Magi *looking at William* to look at them. Between you two , maybe you can find something that we didn't find. Not that I think you will but call it a gesture of good faith. Now. The rest of the details for the mission. As I said no one can know who you are or [i]what [/i] you are. You will travel by foot until you reach the city of Milas. From there you will take a caravan that will go to White Mountain , The Bastion and finally The Field in the Dark Human lands. Don't ask my why someone would want to go there but...the caravan will go there. [/color] " (after the others said what they've said) " [color=green] It's for the greater good ! [/color] " he said as people started leaving the room. He look at the Magi that talked to him and said " [color=green] I don't need your loyalty Magi. I need your compliance. I need to know that you won't kill yourselves and not fulfill your mission. As for weapons...you won't have any. You are a Magi and you have been sent to the Death Row. If you want weapons then you may ask your new companions for them but I wouldn't worry about that. You are needed to help that which Elyra here cannot heal by...her methods. [/color] " Waiting for Jamie to finish her speech Gregory frowned. " [color=green] I am your commanding office and I can do this and this was the order of the Emperor himself. If I had to choose the teams that would go to the Wasteland , believe me. I wouldn't choose any of you. Well...except for Gun'Tar. He is the oldest here after all. [/color] " William had to say something about all this. " [color=red] I guess not everyone likes your methods [i]Ascended Templar[/i]. Not even your own. But *looking at a guard that was about to hit him* we Magi have to thank you for the opportunity to see something beyond this walls and as you said. We will be undercover so...[i]we[/i] Magi won't be muzzled and chained like animals. I can speak on behalf of Aelar here , that we can at least enjoy that opportunity. Plus maybe we could spend the night on warm ground. But I have a question if I may. I guess that this caravan won't take us to that town you said for free. There has to be some currency in the Empire , right ? I heard your Templar talking about it...so the question is. Will we receive some money ? Not us Magi of course but our esteemed non-Magi companions. [/color] " though clenched teeth. He hated this particular Templar with all his guts. He knew he was the one that hated us more than all the others and this Templar was the one that didn't want them to have straws in their cells. He was the one en-charge after all. " [color=green] Yes , yes. You will. Now , please. Shut up. I can't stand the thought of hearing you Dark Human scum talk again. [/color] " Gun'Tar just nodded and left the room when few of the others did. He went to his room and packed everything he had. It turned up that he didn't have much on his name even after living so much time but he took his prized War Hammer , some spare cloths , a big backpack which he filled with food and water for the road and that's it. After he finished doing that , he started reading one of his favored book. " The Magi's Fall " by The Exalted One , The Emperor Augustus Maximilian ( yeah I know...roman name ).
