[h3]Ajax Thera - Council Member[/h3]

The large councilman remained silent as Master Jak explained his idea for the handling of his mages. Ajax didn't even react as the Archive Magic uploaded that information and then some to his brain. He closed his eyes and hummed to himself for a moment. [b]"I see... You have confidence in your mages' strength,"[/b] he noted aloud. [b]"I have no place to question your faith in them. However..."[/b] Ajax stopped mid-sentence, opening his eyes and glancing toward the floor.

He was silent for a moment before looking back up to Master Jak. [b]"It sounds like there is an emergency,"[/b] he said simply, now standing up. [b]"I suppose Greg and I can take care of this."[/b] Ajax motioned for his fellow Wizard Saint to follow him, already walking calmly toward the stairs to get to the main building where Lucas was. [b]"Today is just an interesting day... Demon's Maw, of all things..."[/b] Ajax looked towards Greg. [b]"Do you remember who was guarding the Fragments? I think we will need to start an investigation after this."[/b]

[h3]Piper Hatfield - [color=hotpink]Ms. One Shot[/color][/h3]

The bespectacled girl was baffled by Lucas's announcement. Demons didn't just suddenly attack in an organized fashion. People didn't just break into the Magic Council and get away with it. The entire situation felt bad. [b]"Uh-oh..."[/b] Piper mumbled to herself as the knight finished up his briefing. Almost immediately afterwards Nigel turned to her and asked her to find the strong mages of Vyper Bolt and Harpy's Wing and bring them back to the guild hall.

[b]"Me?"[/b] she asked first, clarifying that he wanted her to do the job. After reinforcing his plan to have her and Aran bring everyone back, Piper got to her feet. [b]"Okay, I'll get some backup."[/b] She began to run out of the guild hall before comically tripping at the doorway. After picking herself up she pretended that never happened and continued on, heading across Crocus to see if she could find anyone. It wasn't too difficult for her to find anyone though as she was sensitive to magic.

Piper could already feel where the others were. Gwen, Sable, and Cynthia were the closest so she ran over to them. After a moment of running, she saw them ahead down the street. [b]"Guys!"[/b] she called out to them, immediately before tripping over an uneven stone in the road. This fall, however, sent her glasses bouncing across the road and landing at Sable's feet, surprisingly undamaged. [b]"Fucking great,"[/b] Piper grumbled to herself, standing back up with a scowl. She jogged the rest of the way to the group, a look of anger already on her face. [b]"We need you idiots back at the guild hall,"[/b] she explained, giving Sable a sharp jab in the chest with her finger.

After noticing her glasses on the ground, she began cursing under her breath as she crouched down and picked them up. With her glasses back in place the look of anger was gone and Piper now had an expression of concern. [b]"There are demons attacking Cedar and Clover town at the same time. They came from some... thing that got stolen from the Magic Council earlier,"[/b] Piper continued explaining to the trio. [b]"The knight has some stuff that can contain them and he can teleport people to the cities."[/b]
