"[color=a187be]Siliva’s right. Do you really think we would hand something that powerful over to you? We don’t even know what you would do with it.[/color]" Paige added on. [color=a0410d]The witch sighed, and looked down at the cat sitting by her legs. "[color=a36209]See? I told you they would be of no use. All they do is question and waste time![/color]" she barked at her companion. The cat seemed to have said something, as the old witch tried to speak several times, but closed her mouth after every attempt. Finally she closed her eyes, then nodded and swiftly turned back to the others. "[color=a36209]You can't know I won't use it for evil, just as much as I can't tell if you won't steal it for yourself and run off with it. You could even beat me down and take my two shards for yourselves if you wanted to. We're asking for your help to get the shards before it's too late.... There's an evil in this town, threatening that they will take the shards I have and use it to corrupt the town. If I cannot gather the three shards, I will not be able to use this magic I have brewed to magically protect it from anyone ever using it. My magic requires all three pieces... otherwise the magic would have a crack in it, and the evil seeking out the shards could use the last remaining shard to break through my spell.[/color]" "[color=a36209]There's no way for me to convince you, only trust. Or I could have lied to you and said I wanted it for my collection, and that there really [i]wasn't[/i] a dragon there, and I would pay you a hefty sum. I'm pretty sure that's what the lot of you want anyway, just the money, eh? Running off and doing this, and doing that... and all for what? To [i]help[/i] people? Nahh! People always get hurt in your little [i]excursions[/i]... your little [i]quests[/i]... it's about the money! You can't get by without it. And why not just show off your powerful magic, have a little fun with it, and make a living off of it? Who cares if anyone gets hurt in the way![/color]" the witch said, starting to go off on a tangent. She seemed like she would go on nearly forever, if not for an explosion heard in the hallway.[/color] [color=ed1c24]A kid came out from behind the curtains, followed by an explosion of colorful smoke in his wake. He waved his hand in front of his face to blow it out of the way, then looked up to see the three standing there with the witch and her cat... and the stray bird. "[color=0072bc]Uh... did I create a potion of the past?[/color]" he said, then trying to rub his eyes clear to see if the three would disappear.[/color] [color=ec008c]"[color=f6989d]Hey! It's you, from the guild! Paige and I fought you last night after things went crazy.[/color]" Kassy said, remembering who he was.[/color] [color=ed1c24]"[color=0072bc]Uh, yeah...[/color]" he said, shaking his head a little bit. "[color=0072bc]I guess you're all real then. Did you follow me home or something?[/color]" he asked, looking around the room.[/color] [color=ec008c]"[color=f6989d]No!...[/color]" Kassy said while putting her hands on her hips, "[color=f6989d]We followed a quest here, saying that a cat was stuck in a tree. It was to be my first quest! But...-[/color]" she explained, but the witch stepped up.[/color] [color=a0410d]"[color=a36209]-you three were late! Like always. Do you '[i]Fairy Tail[/i]' people ever have a sense of time?[/color]" she said angrily.[/color] [color=ed1c24]"[color=0072bc]Mom! Cool it, alright? What's going on anyway?[/color]" the boy said.[/color] [color=ec008c]"[color=f6989d]Wait! She's your [i]mom[/i]?[/color]" Kassy said, looking back and forth between the two. They didn't even really share any features. The lady was old, messy long hair, long pointed nose, small, overweight. The kid had white short kept hair, a rounded normal nose, stood a few inches taller, and was probably underweight. His eyes were also an unnatural white color.[/color] [color=ed1c24]"[color=0072bc]I'm adopted.[/color]" he clarified after Kassy went through all the options already in her head.[/color] [color=ec008c]"[color=f6989d]Oh. That would explain it.[/color]" she shrugged.[/color] [color=a0410d]"[color=a36209]Anyway! Back to business![/color]" the old witch said, pushing her son out through the curtains. "[color=a36209]Go outside and take your mess with you Josive![/color]" she yelled at her son.[/color] [color=ed1c24]"[color=0072bc]But-[/color]" he tried, just as the witch closed the curtains in his face and walked back to where she stood before.[/color] [color=a0410d]"[color=a36209]If it makes you all feel better, you can even stand here as I seal it away. If you think anything is wrong, stop me. I'm sure you have a friend or two that can read my magic as I use it.[/color]"[/color] : [color=ed1c24]As all of you were busy trying to figure out how to continue the trail, a giant puff of colorful smoke blew out of the house's front door. A short while after the smoke cleared, a younger boy stepped out. Probably seventeen or so, maybe older... especially because of the white hair. Not only was his hair white, but his eyes were too. "[color=0072bc]Uh... more visitors?[/color]" he asked, "[color=0072bc]What did I miss? Seriously![/color]" he yelled into the air.[/color] [hider=Colors] [color=a0410d]Witch Text.[/color] [color=a36209]Witch Speech.[/color] [color=ec008c]Kassy Text.[/color] [color=f6989d]Kassy Speech.[/color] [color=ed1c24]Josive Text.[/color] [color=0072bc]Josive Speech.[/color] [/hider]
