Freyr was a bit upset by the prank the sylph pulled on him, but he was honestly surprised when she said that she would like to join the guild. It didn't matter how many times Freyr tried to tell her that it wasn't a place for a child to be, she simply wouldn't take no for an answer. After some time, Freyr gave up in trying to convince her, so he simply let her follow them.

After stopping by a river to clean himself, he went back to the guild. Getting there, the first thing he heard was a rather familiar voice, and a bunch of indigo colored feathers flying to their direction. He had already seen those indigo feathers before... After it landed in front of them, he immediately recognized who it was. It was Haley, the harpy lady he met on the previous mission.

She looked incredibly panicked, talking something about an Order Hero inside the building, asking for help.

[color=8dc73f]"Haley, please calm down! What happened? Order Hero? Which order hero? If he is a 'hero' then he is good, right?"[/color] Freyr said, extremely confused by what was happening. He had never heard about that 'Order' before, but Hero wasn't a strange word to him. People always said that heroes were always the good guys, right?

[color=FF5353][b]"Um...Marxello is with us, Miss...He's from the Order, but he's a friend. I-I mean, as long as you don't do anything wrong. I...think."[/b][/color] Freyr heard Magnus saying.

[color=8dc73f]"Oh, you meant him... He is from the guild. I promise you, he will do nothing to you as long as we are here. I don't know anything about his past, but I'm sure that he won't attack anyone without a good reason."[/color] Freyr said, inspecting Marxello. He really didn't know that man very well, he only knew that he was from the guild. Was he one of those types that hunted monsters? After what Haley said, he became a bit suspicious of him. 

He silently watched as Marxello walked towards them, immediately going for Magnus, talking to him. The second he got nearby them, Freyr instinctively put himself between Haley, Celes and Marxello, protecting them from the man.

The conversation that followed, gave Freyr some hints why Haley was so afraid of the Order. Magnus apparently knew the order as well. He had said something about them being... genocidal. 

After a few moments thinking, Magnus' voice interrupted his thoughts. He had asked him if he knew the reason why they were males. Apparently, Marxello had asked that same question to him.

[color=8dc73f]"I'm sorry, I have no idea. I am simply born like this. I lived my entire life alone, so I really don't know. Female Vieras are not really... kind to males. They sees us as rivals. I would stand no change against an entire tribe of female Vieras, especially alone."[/color] Freyr replied, looking to Magnus and then Marxello.

[color=8dc73f]"I'm sorry if I sound a bit rude... But can you explain yourself a bit regarding this... genocidal thing, Marxello?"[/color] Freyr asked, looking directly to the man. He wasn't even trying to hide, Marxello would immediately see his eyes studying him, and feel that Freyr didn't trust him a lot. Freyr himself had never heard about that 'Order' But if Haley was so panicked and afraid with that, surely there was something going on...

Bast heard as the boy spoke, asking if he was famous and talking about his magics. He said he was called Absalom, or Abe for short. Abe was quite the naïve and innocent boy. Apparently he didn't know that much about the world, he was just a child. He had a sword on his hands, was seeking blood and vengeance, but he was still only a child.

[color=C6DEFF]"Don't worry, Abe. I'm sure that this... Lord Araghast doesn't care that much about people other than himself..."[/color] Bast said, following the boy. He knew that following him would probably take a while, but it was worth it. He would finally do something interesting...

After following him for a while, Abe asked if he had some magic to help them cross the river.
After hearing that, Bast immediately made two cards appear on his hand, imbuing them with ice magic. He then handed the cards to the boy. They were slightly war to the touch, but they were surrounded with an incredibly cold air, it was so cold that you felt that if you held them close to your skin, you would probably freeze it. 

[color=C6DEFF]"As long as you keep touching them, they won't hurt you. Throw them on the lake when you are ready to cross it. They will freeze the water, so we can simply walk across the river. Just be careful, don't drop them on your own body."[/color] Bast said, handing him the cards.
