[h2]????[/h2] "Some very incompetent people, obviously." A voice annouced from behind the councilman. Standing there, after seeming to appear out of thin air,,was a strange man in a black cloak, his hood shadowing everything about his face except his mouth which was currently twisted im a mocking style. By the time Ajas turned to look him, he would already be at the table, taking a sip of the hot coco being served. "Don't worry, though, they are most assuredly dead now, so you won't have to worry about their foolishness ever again." All those present in the room could tell two things, that he was excceedingly strong,,to a degree that could be considered monstrous, and that was something off about him, something that made their hair stand on end. "Now then, on to business. You must be wondering I am, huh, well you're going to have to figure it out yourself, cause I'm not telling. Anyway, I am here to give you lovely wizard saints a warning: Leave Crocus, and the Capital gets razed to the ground by a barrage of Jupiter Cannons." The man's voice never changed from his dark, yet playful tone, but his smile had become all the more cruel. "If you don't believe me, that's fine, just leave with the other mages. Just know that you'll come back to nothing but a black stain on the ground after we're through with it. So, your choice, do you take the chance of killing everyone in Crocus, just to stop a few demons, or will you sit down and have a lovely conversation with a mysterious stranger over some nice hot coco."
