Jack walked through the streets of Magnolia humming a tune to himself, his guild mark on his cheek, the fire red Dragon on his cheek standing out from the usual Phoenix Wing marks. A few of the people recognized the mark and waved at him. Jack returned the waves and even said "Good day" on occasion, his mood impossible to ruin. He stopped at a shop, reading the sign and smiling. [color=Turquoise]"Hmmmm...perhaps Jamie will appreciate some good hot chocolate on this fine day. Certainly tastes better than coffee."[/color] Walking in, he browses the choices and selects the best kind, caramel chocolate, buying enough to give to Jarvis as well.

Thanking the shop owner, he continues down the street, still humming a happy tune to himself. He and Jamie had known each other for a number of years and were close friends. Every now and then they'd even pop into each other's guild hall for a surprise visit. Even as he got closer to the guild hall, the amount of magic inside didn't worry him. Phoenix Wing and Dragon Fang were both sorta rowdy and he'd walked in on his share of magical brawls before. In fact, he chuckled as he got closer. Today seemed to be especially rowdy. Stopping outside the doors to the hall, he picked up his hot chocolate from the cup holders and takes a sip before opening the doors. And what he saw both troubled him and made him angry.

Two of Phoenix Wing's guild members were fighting someone who was obviously not of the guild, with Master Jamie and Jarvis protecting a child and another guild member. Setting the hot chocolate down out of the way, his arms are enveloped in a black flame as he approaches the girl trapped in the sphere of fire. [color=Turquoise]"And it was starting to be such a wonderful day too."[/color] Spreading his arms, he claps them together and sends a wave of dark flame at the girl. [color=Turquoise]"Flame God's Explosive Impact!"[/color] The wave impacted the sphere, passed through it, and hit the girl inside, exploding into a brilliant, if contained, black lotus. [color=Turquoise]"I see you're as busy as ever, Jamie."[/color]
