[u][h3]Aftermath of the Orge Cave Mission[/h3][/u]

As requested by Raijin.

Aiden, Taka, Kuroku and Bristlebane had eventually beaten back the vicious orges that were in the cave. It was indeed a long enough battle, but they persevered none of the less. However, at the last leg of their journey, they were interfered by a mysterious woman who attacked the wizards. They fought hard, even with Aiden trying to subdue the woman, but unfortunately they were forced to retreat and call off the mission, with a trounced Aiden in tow. Kuroku still has the silver brooch in his pocket and keeps it for himself, remembering the time when the mysterious hooded figure tried to call out for it. Whoever it was, he thankfully did not get it... but what if he did? What would happen? But perhaps some things are better left unsaid... 

The group heads back to the main guild to rest and perhaps go on another mission... one that would be hopefully less predictable then the last...

The warm early morning sky greets the inhabitants of Magnolia as the sun begins to slowly peak from the horizon, casting a seemingly holy glow from the guild building. It was only 6:00 AM, but on a Saturday, not many people are up at this hour. Matt however, was one of those early risers. Normally he was in fact a later sleeper, but he had a good nights' rest last night and was feeling pumped. On days like these, it would be nice to walk around the town and breathe at the cool, crisp, morning air. After his morning warm up, Matt heads to the guild hall, with his stomach on low fuel. He rings a waiter bell, hoping to grab the attention of Tessa or anyone of the bartenders there.

While he waits, Matt reads the daily newspaper and again skims through the pages. He finds the section for guild jobs and reads through it. Various missions are available, such as calming down a drunken mage, a fake mage causing identity theft, a harem of Vulcanians blocking the way near Mt. Hakobe, a missing girl, a potential dark guild in the works, and vice versa. There was a lot more then usual, but Matt didn't mind it at all. Just then, [b][color=7ea7d8]Kuroku[/color][/b] came in and sat right next to him.

[color=7ea7d8]"Morning Matt."[/color] the ice mage says slickly, [color=7ea7d8]"Seems you've been up early. I thought you'd still be sleeping at this hour."[/color]

[b]"Hm,"[/b] Matt grunts in response, [b]"I had a good nights' rest, which is something which I rarely get these days. And my body wanted to get out of bed so I decided to walk around town. I've almost forgotten how magnificent the early morning sunshine is like, you know?"[/b]

[color=7ea7d8]"I suppose."[/color] Kuroku answers back as he glances over at the newspaper Matt was holding, [color=7ea7d8]"What jobs do we have here?"[/color]

He inspects the newspaper, looking at all the jobs that one can partake in. All of them looked to be pretty average jobs, with none catching his eye.

[color=7ea7d8]"I guess just average ones..."[/color] Kuro responds, [color=7ea7d8]"I want something cool and exciting like yesterday's job."[/color]

[b]"How was that job?"[/b] Matt asks curiosuly.

[color=7ea7d8]"Due to... difficulties,"[/color] Kuro says slowly, [color=7ea7d8]"We were forced to retreat."[/color]

[b]"Getting soft eh~?"[/b]

[color=7ea7d8]"No... not really. We were ambushed by a strange woman. We managed to almost sub due her, but then her fury of rage forced us to head out. She was unusually strong..."[/color]

[b]"Y'all be getting soft. I would've punched her into oblivion."[/b]

[color=7ea7d8]"I don't think it's as simple as that... I mean. We were fighting Ogres and they were pretty easy."[/color]

[b]"Naturally. They're all brawn but no brains."[/b]

[color=7ea7d8]"Heh, kinda reminds me of someone else I know..."[/color]

Thankfully, Matt didn't hear what Kuro said as he continues reading the newspaper.
