The strange sounds coming from the groaning building and the sudden feeling of heaviness gave the people quite a stir, but since it was only for a moment, puzzlement was the only thing left on their faces.  Lexus and Akena made their way out of the Cathedral and while the congregation was a little miffed, they did not bother to call out after them as they exited.  Still, this would be an event talked about for a few days.

Agreeing with Akena's suggestion to speak with the Earth priest, once out of the cathedral, Lexus Dominiel called out, [color=a187be]"Holy man, are you experiencing an Epiphany?"[/color]

So caught up in events, Yuan didn't even think of moving as the stately knight[Lexus] and the elven priestess[Akena] walked out of the church and then headed straight for him.  Apparently he had been rather obvious with his staring and now he was face to face with a very strong knight and a being with a divine aura.  Though she was an elf, a being beneath humanity there were at least a few ancient records of particular beings being bestowed with gifts by the six gods.  If nothing else, the divine aura was unmistakable.

Yuan cleared his thoughts so he could respond.  "Forgive me for staring but, from the moment I saw the young lady it was unmistakable that she has received the blessings of the gods.  It is my first time witnessing an aura as pure as yours but for you to appear here surely must be a sign of great importance?"  Yuan tried his best not to cower as his senses tingled from the aura, but his training kept his will firm.

If nothing else, he needed to at least figure out why such a being had appeared in Brightwing, and in the Dragonfather Grand Cathedral not less which was not associated with any of the gods he worshiped.  As he spoke he could feel Akena's curious eyes gaze upon him as she stood alongside Lexus, it seemed like she was judging his worth.

As they searched through the various books, the man searching madly through the old city records finally came across something he could use.  Inside the scroll were the old blueprints for the undercity, they were out of date to be sure, but they could reveal forgotten pathways and weak walls in the sewer system.  It was not much, but hopefully it would be enough for those vermin to keep their end of the bargain.  With a quick look around to make sure no one was watching, the man tucked the scroll inside his clothes and tried to be as casual as he could while he walked away.

Meanwhile December was trying to figure out how to join the Magician's Guild, since if they could become members, they would have access to a lot more materials then the few they were allowed as members of the public.  Gaining access to those more secretive materials would make finding useful information a lot easier.  As she lied about having 'some' skill with magic the receptionist looked at her closely.

"Well even if you do have magic skills it takes a bit more than that to join the guild.  First there is a base requirement of level 2 magic for a basic membership and at least some level 3 spells for an advanced membership.  Even if you can do that though there is a...[i]small[/i] fee to register with the guild along with some forms and tests so we can get information on you that can be shared with the rest of the guild."  The receptionist beamed, while December was really not sure how to react.

From what the receptionist had told her, the Magician's Guild was a bit of an exclusive club that also liked to keep tab on its members somewhat.  While the magical requirements were an absolute joke, the fee and the actual registration could prove to be a problem.  If they did register, what kind of information would the guild require them to give to gain membership?  They were strangers in a strange land and their entire group had various animal characteristics and if it was discovered that they had got in by pretending to be mostly human, except for Himitsu who was obviously a beastman, they could get unwanted attention.

As December was trying to figure out what to say next, an alarm started to blare from what looked like a bell on the ceiling next to the entrance.  The man from before had tripped the alarm by attempting to leave with guild property without properly checking it out.  In a panic the man bolted for the door, knocking aside a visitor who unfortunately decided to enter the building at the same time.

The receptionist looked shocked as the man made his escape and this gave December an idea.  [color=7ea7d8]"Tell you what, if I nab that thief for you maybe you could help me get a guild membership?"[/color]

"If you catch him perhaps, but I doubt he'll get far as our alarm system will alert the nearby guards as well.  Although, we would prefer to deal with the situation ourselves first to understand why he stole from the guild in the first place."

[color=fff79a]"What in the world is going on?"[/color] Danielle asked as she came out from the archives to figure out what the annoying sound was.

[color=7ea7d8]"Well it could be our ticket to understanding our situation better."[/color]  December replied before bolting out the door, using her keen sense of smell to track the frightened thief.
