[h3][center][color=8882be]--Raven--[/color][/center][/h3] [quote=Ater & Arbus] "Of course, several individuals in fact." [Ater] "We have our master, Kcalb, devil of the Gray Garden." [Arbus] "And his brother, Wodahs." [Ater] "And then there's us!" [Arbus] They pulled out their spears before posing a bit. Ater shook herself to her senses. "Oh! The festivities have begun, you should hurry!"[/quote] [color=8882be][i]Kcalb? I believe that name was mentioned somewhere in that letter, he was one of the heads of the Garden so to speak. Though I didn't know he had a brother. Interesting~[/i][/color] Raven thought quietly to himself at the mention of the demon brothers. He then watched intently at the demonstration of pair's lance stances. [color=8882be][i]Those stances aren't half bad, I suppose.[/i][/color] He thought. [color=8882be]"You know, sparring with both of you would be a excellent way to start off my arrival at this sacred garden. Care to go a few rounds, ladies?"[/color] Asked the fighter, as he began crackling his knuckles. A confident smirk crept upon his face at the thought of fighting two demons, especially since he would be at a disadvantage due to their weapons. [color=8882be]"I can take you on one at a time, or both of you at once, how 'bout it?"[/color] When he was told to hurry, Raven could only assume that some type of special event was about to start at the festival. Since the sun was setting, he presumed that he missed most of the other festivities before arriving. He noticed that people seemed to be scrambling toward someplace further down the way. He overheard some talk of type of performance about to begin, from some type of sorcerer he imagined. Seeing as fight was obviously not going to happen, Raven did his best to hide his disappointment and placed his hands in his pant pockets. [color=8882be]"I see, well, may I ask if there's any type of special event going on right now? I can see that there still bustling in the streets."[/color] Raven noticed stands and vendors aplenty, all lined up and down the town streets. [color=8882be]"I hope I haven't missed too much, but I see people are gathering toward some place. Is there a special ceremony taking place?"[/color] Said Raven as he began making his way toward the same place. [hr] [h3][center][color=92278f]--Nadia--[/color][/center][/h3] Nadia quickly turned toward the knocking she heard at her door, wincing as she already knew would it was. [quote=Lili][color=fff200]"Nadia!!! The performance is about to begin!"[/color] [/quote] [color=92278f][i]Her again...[/i][/color] She thought. The voice gave it all away. Lili had often doted on the aspiring witch, wanting to help in anyway she could. While she came off as annoying at times, she had helped her quite a bit in the past. Gathering rare texts and materials when needed. Having focused her gray matter on last minute preparations, Nadia had forgotten all about the performance being held at the festival. She heard rumors that this year the Great Blue Sea Witch would be showing off on stage. She wasn't particularly interested the show itself. She did, however, see it as an opportunity for analysis and study. She knew, after all, the Sea Witch was famous for her skills and magical intrigue. For now Nadia had put a lid on her cauldron and dissipated the ladle with a snap of her fingers, no longer needing it. She then conjured a knife as she used it to make a sandwich, having forgotten to eat anything today. Lastly grabbing her tomb, she made her way to the front door. Opening it, Lili would see Nadia munching on a hastily made sandwich before speaking. [color=92278f]*munch* *munch* "Alright, I'm ready. Shall we get going, Lili?"[/color] Said Nadia, in her usual stoic tone.
