[b]Ming[/b] Ming was currently on the battlefield. She slashed one of the Nekos and spun around, throwing her shield to attack and slash a few other nekos. She grabbed her shield again and went to block a fireball coming for her when suddenly she disappeared in the middle of the fight. She looked around now seeing she was in a courtyard with a few others. She listened to what they had to say and for now observed, trying to understand what was going on. She then looked to Kuro, seeing that he was here too. She grabbed the hilt of her blade but slowly looked back to Julia. "Yes, please explain exactly what is going on. I was in the middle of a battle before you summoned me." She once again turned to Kuro and Yoruichi, staring at them intensely before once again turning to Julia and waiting her answer. [b]Miarikia[/b] Miarikia was stood over her cauldron singing a song while she worked. "Double double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Double double, toil and trouble. Something wicked this way comes. Eye of newt and toe of frog. Flesh of bat and tongue of dog. Adder's fork and blind worm's sting. Lizard's leg and dragon's wing. Double double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Double double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Double double, toil and trouble. Something wicked this way comes. Double double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble." As she sang she threw in the ingredients. Flash sighed as he laid down with his eyes shut, not paying her any attention as she did her work. The sounds of the cauldron came natural to him now like the sounds of the witch's song. Once Miarikia was done she stepped off and walked over to her library of books. "Well, that should take an hour to finish, so we've got time to spare." She placed the book away and just as she did she and Flash were teleported. Miarikia looked around for a moment, confused while Flash quickly opened his eyes and slowly stood himself up as he heard others talking. "Am I dreaming? Did I finally drift off to sleep?" When Miarikia slowly turned to him and shook her head Flash gave a heavy sigh. "Great. What mess have we found ourselves in now then?" Miarikia looked to Julia, and instead of asking where she was or what was happening she instead spoke of another question. "So, it seems we have all been summoned, right? In that case I must ask. What is the time difference between here and my world? I have just put on a potion to brew. I don't want to over cook it." Flash rolled his eyes, but at the same time he understood. She had used some powerful ingredients for that potion. It would be a shame if it was wasted. [b]Julia[/b] Julia slowly stepped forward once everyone had been summoned. She didn't understand everything that was going on but she did understand that for some reason, two of the chosen she had brought thought they were in some sort of game. She had read enough in the Library Of Knowledge to know what games were and to understand them enough, plus she had played her own fair share of games in Azroh. "Welcome all of you to Azroh, this is the courtyard outside of the Library of Knowledge. My name is Julia, this is Red and this is my brother Julian and his companion, Pan. You have all been chosen. You have been summoned here because we need your help. I am sure you have noticed by now cracks have been appearing everywhere. Not just in your world, but in all dimensions, all through space and time. These are cracks in reality. By going through them you could end up in a whole new world, dimension, universe, literally anywhere. That is if you survived. by going through the crack, before you reach the other side, you enter a place of nothingness. In between realities and by going there it rips you apart and instantly kills you. By dying like that everyone who once knew you will forget about you like you never existed. That is why I called you because we believe you can do it, we believe you can save the world before all of time and space is ripped apart. There is some bad news though, I'm afraid you will be unable to leave until you complete your mission, I will warn you, by summoning you here I and all of you are criminals. It is forbidden for any outsiders to enter this world. We will be hunted, our mission will be dangerous. Let me introduce everyone. Bahamut, Grace, Ming, Jack, Kuro, Blue, Miarikia, Flash and Helga. I am sorry for pulling you out of your worlds, but I had no choice, oh and one more thing. I don't know why you think this is a game, Grace and Bahamut but I am afraid that this is the reality. I wish it weren't real myself. None of us are NPCs, we are all real. If you die, there is no returning back to the world you came from. Things are quickly worsening and we cannot linger for too long. If you have any questions please ask. I will answer any questions given before we begin. As for Miarikia's question, you don't need to worry about your potion. After you complete your mission you will be sent back to the exact moment you left." As she called out the names she pointed to the person it belonged to. With that she gave a small smile, she knew there were going to be some disagreements but she had no choice. She hoped that these people would, in fact, be the ones she needed. She then turned to Julian. "Julian, were you able to convince everyone to help us? I hope the payment was enough for Miss Black, Red Blade and Lady Red specifically." She looked back at everyone else and waited to see what they had to say as well as waiting to see what Julian said. While she waited she looked to Helga who complained that she missed her meal. "Oh, well I suppose we can't wait until we return for your meal. Here, take this. It should satisfy you until we get to the Lalafell City." She summoned a huge steamed dragon steak and levitated it towards Helga. She gave a small smile once again then waited for everyone else to finish asking questions.
