[color=0054a6][u][h1]Kiyu and Kat[/h1][/u][/color] Kiyu listened to Julia's report in full and understood why the elder worm appeared in such a dire situation last time. He then listened to her report on Rethynth. Like Kat had said it was concerning that he was being affected too. When the meeting was over and Kat gave her orders Kiyu got ready to leave. He intended to go out with Kat and help search for suspicious activity as well as the orphan he had recently seen. [color=00aeef]"I'll go with you Kat. I will be able to recognise them if we see them and more pair of eyes are better than one. Bahamut, you can take to the skies.[/color] Kiyu walked out the door and looked around slowly. He would wait for Kat to follow him out whenever she was ready then continued on. He walked casually, keeping his eye out on anything suspicious. Kat looked to Kiyu and nodded. She looked to Bahamut and waited for him to follow them out than the three went out together. Kat didn't know who she was looking for exactly but she knew Draclafly were an extremely rare sight so if there was one in the city with a young child then surely it couldn't be hard to find. She looked around slowly before turning to Kiyu. "Whereabouts did you see them all?" She looked back around keeping her eyes peeled for anything suspicious while she waited for Kiyu. She knew this was a big city and to search it all between the three of them would be too big of a job. He waved his hand for Kat to follow then spoke as he walked slowly. [color=00aeef]"I saw the boy with the Draclafly towards the city centre while the suspects were seen in the sidestreets not far from here."[/color] He began to walk a little faster until he reached the large fountain by the town centre. He looked around but couldn't see any Draclafly. At least not yet, he looked over to Kat and spoke again. [color=00aeef]"Kat let's use union sense. It will help us find the Draclafly and maybe the suspects too."[/color] He held out his hand then closed his eyes. Magic flowed through him and concentrated into his hand which quickly began to glow. Kat followed Kiyu and listened to him. She walked with him to the fountain keeping her eyes open for anything important while Bahamut was flying in the air. This was a big city and she agreed that magic sense would allow them to search it much faster and with them being in the centre and both being lalafell the two of them would be able to reach quite far but she also knew it was possible for any decently skilled individual to hide their presence from magic sense so she didn't know how effective it was going to be. She closed her eyes and let magic flow through her and into her hand like Kiyu had done then grabbed his hand. With the two of them connected she reached out into the city, listening to any and all sounds she could pick up on and looked into each and every alley she could reach. She could hear Kiyu's and her own heartbeat. It took a moment but she finally picked up on a strong magical presence not too far from where they were. She focused on it and quickly realised that was the Draclafly they were searching for. She opened up her eyes for a moment and blinked a few times before turning to Kiyu. "I found it. Follow me." She smiled and let go of his hand before running towards where she sensed the Draclafly. Kiyu felt her grab his hand and at that moment he reached out into the city just like she had done. It took him a little bit longer than she had taken but he had sensed the Draclafly moments after her. He opened his eyes and quickly races after her. [color=00aeef]"Yes, I sensed it too."[/color] He ran along with Kat until they reached the spot where they sensed the Draclafly. There he saw a child sat on a step with a grimoire reading it. [img]https://i.postimg.cc/zXSZJLhS/image0-3.jpg[/img] The Draclafly watched them carefully, it's wings folded and stood up beside the boy. Kiyu stood forward and began to speak. [color=00aeef]"Hello, who are you?"[/color] the boy looked up from his grimoire before slowly lowering it. [color=92278f]"My name is Erik, my father was killed by a large black snake. I think it was because he knew something he shouldn't have known but I don't know. He gave me this book when I was a lot younger and I have been reading it ever since. He said that one day I would need to use it, much sooner than he would like. I think he knew this day was coming."[/color] Kiyu nodded and looked to Kat waiting on her judgement. Kat stopped when they reached the boy. She let Kiyu go up first and listened to what Erik had to say. When Kiyu looked to her she stood forward and started to take a closer look at the book. She recognised it well, it was an extremely powerful grimoire. It wasn't one that was just bought from a local magic shop but one that was specially made and handcrafted. Specifically, she knew it was a royal grimoire and one that went back thousands of years. It was an extremely old book and knew that it was going to have some extremely powerful and dangerous spells in there. "I see. Erik, if you are on your own then why don't you come with us? You can trust me, I am in charge of this city. I know that Grimoire well, it is very old and powerful. Just holding onto it would increase your magic output dramatically and if you have had it for years then you must be pretty powerful. Despite being young maybe you can help us." She gave him and smile and held out her hand. Erik looked up to her crown before looking to his Draclafly. It gave him a nod letting him know that it sensed no ill intent in either one of them before grabbing her hand and pulling himself up. He closed his book and continued to just hold it for now. They had found the boy so it was time to head back to see if anyone had found anything else. They had been out for long enough now. Kiyu watched as Kat spoke to Erik. When he finally got himself up he smiled. It had been roughly twenty minutes, walking to the city centre, using magic sense to find him and them talking to him and getting him to come with them. It was going to be worth it though. Erik could be a powerful ally despite him being just a human being. He turned around and led Kat and Erik back to Kat's personal quarters. When they were finally back they went inside and waited until everyone was back before he looked around. [color=00aeef]"We have Erik, how did everyone else get on?"[/color] [u][color=9e0b0f][h1]Bahamut[/h1][/color][/u] Bahamut watched the elder worm leave and sighed. He didn't want to wait for it to come back so he quickly followed Julia. They entered Jeul and met someone called Judas who Julia knew. She healed everyone's fatigue physically and mentally before they quickly moved on. The magic city wasn't far away when they reached the radiant meadows. Once at the gate they had to wait for Kat to arrive. Finally, they were all let in and went into her private quarters. Throughout the meeting, he stayed silent listening to everything that the four spoke about. He heard the fox but ignored it. It was a warning that he didn't fully understand not until it was discussed in the meeting anyway. When the meeting finally ended Kat decided to put everyone in three groups of three and he would be with Kiyu and Kat taking the skies. He walked out and flew up quickly. While Kat and Kiyu were looking on ground level he looked in the skies for anything suspicious. There was highly unlikely though that the people Kiyu saw before wouldn't be around to be seen again but there was always that chance. By the time Kiyu and Kat found Erik and began speaking to him, Bahamut had still not seen anything suspicious. Finally, he saw them head back inside and he dropped down and followed them in. [color=ed1c24]"I saw nothing from above."[/color] He looked to everyone else and waited to hear what everyone had to report. (Sorry, I couldn't really think of anything for Bahamut)
