“Oooooohhhh, predictions. Should I let you read my palm then, tell me my future.” The figure chuckled humorlessly at the councilman’s statement, the smirk never leaving his face. “I’ll have to correct you on somethings you just said, Ajax-kun. Firstly, whether they win or lose, it doesn’t hurt me either way. If they lose, they are of no use to me and since they know of nothing importance, you can torture them to your hearts content and get nothing that would touch me or my organization. This, as I said before, is a test, and the cost for failure is death or capture. Secondly, I’ve shown nothing except what I want you to see, which is that I’m ruthless, sadistic, have means to blow this city sky high, care nothing for my subordinates, something Master Alec Roganoff can understand I’m sure, can sneak into your guildhall without any of you noticing, by the way, do you guys always have so much fun in the hot springs or was I just lucky today, and that I have strong demon’s on my side that I can afford to throw away like they’re nothing.”

The man stood up, and began to make a show of placing his hand in front of Ajax’s face. “I must say, a rather good hand to show, isn’t it?” He returned to his seat, legs crossed and his hands together, taking a look at the projection in front of him. “I’ll say this, the demons at Cedar town have been a rather big disappointment to me, so you may be right there, Clover Town, on the other hand, is almost certainly doomed. You see, the best part hasn’t even begun yet. I can’t wait to see your faces as your mages are ripped limb from limb, I’m sure it’ll be rather entertaining. Of course, I exclude Alec from this, as I’m sure all I’ll see is minor agitation at best. Oh, and I almost forgot the third thing, you thinking I can’t escape from the lot of you, that is a rather big claim, given you don’t even know what my capabilities are, or if I’m even here in the first place. I could be a really well made thought projection. I’m not, but I could be.”

Aiden cheerful mood was rather soured when Piper busted in, her tidings being anything but good. "We'll have to take a rain check on the ice cream today, Mr. Tiberton." The man nodded, his face turned grave at what he'd managed to over hear.

"Be careful now Aiden, I'd probably have to shut down 8f anything were to happen to you." The man's attempt to lighten the mood was appreciated, as was the worry that was clear in his voice. 

Aiden walkee over to Oriel, told her quickly "You can slap me for this later," then he swept her off her feet into a princess carry and rushed out the door, a magic seal, appearing underneath him as he made his second step.

"Water Dragon's Flying Step!" He said, and henwas off,launched high into the air by a stream of highly pressurized water. Him and Oriel flew quite a distance, and he landed with a crash near a cafe , where he saw Yuuyami. "Oy, cat-girl, We've got an emergency at the guild hall, so move you're ass. Water Dragon's Flying Step!" He spoke quickly before launching off again, this time busting in through the hall doors and making a skid-landing, stopping right in front of Nigel. Once he was steady, he would let Oriel,down bedore turning to face the S-class mage. "Whete are we headed and what should we expect upon getting there?" Aiden asked, wanting to know every detail before he approached he went anywhere.
