[color=silver][i]Chapter One | [b]The Rite of Ascension[/b][/i][/color][/center][hr][hr]
Dark clouds hang low in the skies, signalling the beginning of the long dreaded wet season. An unpleasant time for both Sky Pirate and Library Hunter alike, where the skies are treacherously dangerous for flying. Yet despite this, life must still go on. With no shortage of distressed citizens across the many islands of Pandora, the Cloud Chasers find themselves busy with aiding those in need of respite from the Librarium's tyrannical rule. All the while, the the Library Hunters are met with large movements from both the Sky Pirates as well as numerous Demon sightings all across Pandora.

In particular, Demon activity is on the rise near the islands south east of the Capital Haven. With the attacks so close to a major city, the Hunters have benched their quest for the Pirates in the hopes of handling the looming Demon Threat. When news of this met the Pirates ears, the Cloud Chasers decided it was best to take advantage of their brief safety from the Librarium to perform more dangerous missions in territories that are usually more well guarded by the Cleric Knights.

In particular, the Pirates plan on making a stop at the township of York. A small town, though the home of one of the Librarium's largest milling operations. An essential cornerstone of the lumber industry in all three capitals, York is usually filled to the brim with security. However due to the recent Demon attacks located not far from it, a large handful of their Knights are off on duty. Meanwhile the Pirates plan to smuggle supplies as well as any eager young mages willing to join their ranks and escape the Librarium.

Though unknowingly to the Pirates, York will not be as quiet as they are expecting. With one of the local convents own Sisters being chosen for Ascension, high ranking members of the Librarium as well as several Library Hunters have gathered in York for the celebration. Sister Elvira of the York Abbey awaits the ceremony in earnest, a little apprehensive of her fate. No doubt the allure of seeing a soon-to-be ascendant will be too much for the more curious Chasers to ignore. Though only time will tell how their little field trip will end up.
