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

[b]"I don't understand any of you..."[/b] Piper relented as Cynthia charged ahead to catch up with Sable and Gwen ran off to... who knows where, but it certainly wasn't toward the guild hall. Well that was three people. With a large portion of both guilds being out of town for the S-Class Camp, there weren't too many she had to really gather. The majority were already at the guild hall. But still, she felt some magical presence of other mages in Crocus so it was her objective to inform them of the situation.

After a few minutes of jogging through the crowds of Crocus, Piper honed in on the mages she sensed. Stopping outside an ice cream parlor, she saw Aiden and one of the newer mages, Oriel. [b]"What is up with these couples today?"[/b] she asked herself, taking a moment to catch her breath from her exercise. After composing herself she entered the store approached the two. [b]"There's an emergency!"[/b] Piper announced, to catch their attention. After realizing that this was information the nearby shop owner shouldn't be hearing, she lowered her voice and got closer. [b]"We need everyone back at the guild hall. There are demons slaughtering towns and we have a way of teleporting to them."[/b]

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

Ajax listened calmly to the mysterious man's explanation on what is happening. He took another sip of his hot cocoa and closed his eyes. [b]"As I predicted,"[/b] he said aloud. When his eyes opened, he was giving his trademark stern gaze toward the hooded figure. [b]"I hope you enjoy your show,"[/b] Ajax began, setting the cup down. [b]"Your demons will lose. And as you are collecting data... so are we."[/b] The council member looked around at the other masters. This room had three Wizard Saints, a former Saint, and four guild masters. [b]"Likewise, you cannot expect to safely leave once this falls through for you. You made a mistake in showing your hand."[/b]
