	Karlomane Karling, the patriarch of the Karling family was feeling unusually nervous on this fine morning. Maybe it was his urgent meeting he had with Obsidian Kite, or maybe it was the fact that two of his best guards were going to be leaving the estate to collect the mages from FenixTear who would be guarding the estate. No that's not it, the true reason as to why Karlomane Karling was so nervous was because he was going to be leaving the estate without his son Karl. Now let's get this perfectly straight, Karlomane was by no means a helicopter parent, in fact, he gave Karl a great deal of freedom to do what he wanted. He was worried about leaving because of the rather.....enigmatic nature of the estate he and his son resided in. Now normally, even leaving the house would not be a big issue because he would bring his son along, and the house would have no victims to play with. Obsidian Kite, however, requested to speak with him alone for some strange reason. While he was a powerful man, he was not foolish enough to contest the will of a guild of Obsidian Kite who had the full backing of the magic council.
	
	While Karlomane was pacing in the stairway leading up to the front door, two of his Koi Fish Guild mages had asked him why Dove and Otto were preparing to leave. Karlomane cursed Otto, for it was his responsibility to brief the mages daily, every morning before Karlomane would wake up. [color=fff200]"It's none of your concern, now go back to your posts and be sure to stay on high alert for the next couple of days".[/color][color=9e0b0f]"But why?[/color], the taller of the two mages inquired, [color=9e0b0f]"it's Otto's responsibility to brief us, and if we don't know the information we need, we can't protect your property correctly".[/color]
	
	Now, Karlomane was starting to get angry at Otto's ineptitude when it came to simple things like this, he's a mercenary for crying out loud, he should be able to understand the value of the little things.[color=fff200]"Otto and Dove are going to fetch some mages to keep the house, so you're going to have to go on high alert"[/color]. When the Koi Fish Tatoo mages started to walk away, he made a point to remind them of the most important rule[color=fff200]"Remember, under no circumstances are you to interact with no one coming from this house besides me and Otto, and never enter it".[/color] The mages gave him a dismissing wave, making his already irritable mood worse.[color=fff200]"Dove and Otto, you better come back by noon or I'll put both of back into the street where Vermin like you belong"[/color], as he yelled into the sky.
