[centre][b][h1][color=coral]Penny[/color][/h1][/b][/centre] Penny seemed to hesitate a few moments, but she knew she couldn’t leave Ariel in the dark… she wasn’t too sure how Ariel’s magic might work, and if she’d experience Phoenix Magic the same way that Penny did… but she shouldn’t go in blind to what might happen. She bowed her head slightly, turning away from the others, to Ariel. [color=coral]“I’d rather not have everyone know, but… “[/color] She sighed softly, pulling up a chair as well. [color=coral]“There are a few things about Phoenix Magic I’ve just uncovered… and you should know about it as well”[/color] She said, her voice soft, not meeting Ariel’s gaze, looking down at her hands, the normally confident young woman extremely unsure. She took a few moments before she continued, [color=coral]“There have always been rumors of what happens to slayers, from continued use of their abilities. Well, Phoenix Slaying is a little different… Yes, it as an effect over us, but our choice comes upon our deaths. We can either… die or be reborn, as we were, but as Phoenix’s. I haven’t… I haven’t traced back the lore all the way, but Phoenix Magic did use to be a thing… and then the first user died, and Phoenix’s were born” She explained, voice heavy, soft. “It’s funny though… how those that can do Phoenix Magic are then the only ones that can kill a Phoenix, utterly and completely”[/color] She looked up, to Ariel, a little daunted about her future, and what her choices might affect. She was in two minds about this, and her choice depended greatly on what happened… she sighed softly, [color=coral]“I’m not sure what it means for you, you are a special case, Ariel… it may turn out that you are the bridge to bring Phoenix’s back to human, but who knows? Magic is always changing… “[/color] She tailed off, having run out of words, and more than a little… apprehensive. [centre][b][h1][color=brown]Jarvis[/color][/h1][/b][/centre] Jarvis looked up as the door was blown opened, and sighed a little wearily. While he was no stranger to those that wanted to show off, but he regarded it as a time and a place. This mage was a stranger to the guild, and trying to impress them like that, while common, was not something that Jarvis enjoyed. His gaze fell to Mithera and he looked over to Royse, frowning slightly. He nodded to Mithera, knowing she'd go off with or without his help, and he retrieved a couple of empty lacrima, making one a teleportation one, saying a little gruffly [color=brown]"You can use this so long as you channel magic into it. Normally, I give out those that are useless after one or two uses, but this will give you use as long as there's magic there to fuel it. Return it when you're back, while I know the guild won't abuse it, there are others out there who might use it for their own gain"[/color] He said, his hand gently cupping the lacrima, it glowed briefly, the inside filling with smoke and turning a light shade of gray, before turning to the second lacrima, filling it with power as well. [color=brown]"And a new communication lacrima"[/color] It filled with a multitude of coloured gases, handing them both to Mithera. When Mithera took the lacrima, Jarvis moved around from the bar, and approached the doors, approaching the new mage. [color=brown]”Welcome to Phoenix Wing, how may I help you? Oh, and if you scratched the paint, you can repaint. We’ve just had renovations and I did rather hope it would last more than a few months before being damaged”[/color] Whiile the words might be comically, Jarvis’s demeanour wasn’t. Protective of the guild, he was wary of this mage, as he would be any mage who just baraged in like that. [centre][b][h1][color=lightyellow]Sam[/color][/h1][/b][/centre] Sam looked up at her older sister and smiled, a slightly crooked smile, she hugged her, and gave a small giggle, ever child-like. She looked to the door, and then back to Amelia. She blinked real slowly, before darting over to the door, [color=lightyellow]”Lets talk with the others”[/color] [centre][b][h1][color=orange]Jamie[/color][/h1][/b][/centre] Jamie had just left her office when the door blew open for the first time, Jarvis soon going to deal with the stranger, and had just approached the group forming, when it blew open a second time. A litle amused at Fraquars bellow, Jamie glanced about, then back to Fraquar, [color=orange]"Oh? i didn't gain a new form without meaning to? Excellent. Hello, Fraquar, how are you?"[/color]
