"It seems everyone is here First, apologies for calling you here so late." Master Emmaline said, "However, this is a matter of utmost importance. I am sure most, if not all of you have heard the rumors already. Mana's Heartstone has been found. As you are aware, this is an incredible powerful relic, and if it falls into the wrong hands, it could cause the continent to fall into chaos. Luckily, an Isunian contact has managed to get ahold of the stone already. Your mission is to go retrieve it, and then bring back here to Isunia, so it can be destroyed."

"Of course we can't trust all of you." Mirella looked at each them, her expression showing that she trusted none of them. "To ensure none of you betray us, Master Isac will be putting a Hex on all of you."

"Are there any questions? If not, then please step forward so Master Isac can cast the hex." Master Lyndel gestured to the front.

"I need to cast it on all of you at the same time." Master Isac said standing up, "So decide quickly if you're going to accept or not."

Emrin carefully looked around her. She had already guessed what the mission would be when she signed up for it, but she wasn't about to risk her life if she didn't think her party would be reliable. It was of course, reassuring to have Liah and Liam, whose skills she was familiar with. The other three though, were strangers to her. They seemed capable enough though, and she trusted the Masters' decision. [color=5D588A]"Other countries are bound to have already made their move to retrieve the stone. Do you know who and how many?"[/color]

"It seems Draesa has already dispatched a unit. They have most likely dispatched a team of elite mages." Sylvain told her. "However, their numbers will be small and we trust in your skills. We are unsure about Soria. Yoendra for now, has agreed to allow us to handle the matter. However you must still be careful bounty hunters and rogue mages."

Emrin took a moment to think it over. [color=5D588A]"I trust in your judgement Masters. I will accept the mission."[/color]
