The spear has a Return and Shift enchantment that allows it to become a [url=https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/045d7e86-d820-4cd6-8a8b-453d695fa665/d8270js-0ea958e6-706e-4b12-9e22-1a95a3fed48b.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOjdlMGQxODg5ODIyNjQzNzNhNWYwZDQxNWVhMGQyNmUwIiwiaXNzIjoidXJuOmFwcDo3ZTBkMTg4OTgyMjY0MzczYTVmMGQ0MTVlYTBkMjZlMCIsIm9iaiI6W1t7InBhdGgiOiJcL2ZcLzA0NWQ3ZTg2LWQ4MjAtNGNkNi04YThiLTQ1M2Q2OTVmYTY2NVwvZDgyNzBqcy0wZWE5NThlNi03MDZlLTRiMTItOWUyMi0xYTk1YTNmZWQ0OGIuanBnIn1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmZpbGUuZG93bmxvYWQiXX0.T0pdrGs4PP1nm24s7AZFfI68zBPSx5aoUcslTK8XYQg]sword[/url]

[color=orchid]“actions can be spurred - or stifled - with either the right or wrong words…"

"...and that is often where the meaning of those actions comes from, regardless of the actor's intent. We paint the actions with our words. Please, paint with unity.”[/color]

Augus kept silent as he stared the fox man down. He rarely had the patience for those who spoke so indirectly, and even more rarely did he heed the arguments from a mere civilian. The winged general did not view the fox as having any stakes in this war. He did not know them, but he doubted they had what he held dear to him. A family, a city, and a duty to his people are all Augus had. An orphan with no family in sight. Fled from his home, Roshmi. And what duty? To unity? Duty to such a thing could only ever be a fantastical dream. 

Augus watched stoically as the group left his study. The man was still unsure if he was making the right call with them. At worse, they were spies or fools that would be sent away from his city. At best, they were a wildcard he could play that might have a chance of bringing more allies to the fight. Still, their talk of demon allies after watching what one of those fiends did to a human. With the group gone, he spoke in reply but to himself.

[color=silver]“Yes Yuka, very good points. More study, of demons, is indeed a good place to start.”[/color] A hint of a grin formed on his lips before he turned back to his desk. His mind would stir with dark ambitions and good intentions before he would set out to meet with Governor Brightfeather to inform her of his plan to send a ‘team’ to the River Fairy Kingdom.

[color=seagreen]“Augie! I think that’s them! They don’t have wings!”[/color] Linus exclaimed as he swayed back and forth above them. His wings extended out as he allowed the wind to keep him afloat similar to a kite.

[color=skyblue]“I can see them just fine.”[/color] Augus IV was standing before the group wearing a stern expression that mimicked his father’s. [color=skyblue]“Greetings Ter- Esteemed guests. I am Augus Maximus IV and I will b-”[/color] Linus unsteadily landed between Augus IV and the group, balancing on one of his feet for a moment before planting the other with a stomp.

[color=seagreen]“I’m Linus MAXIMUS! And we’re going to take you to the stores in the market.”[/color] He held a look of determination as if the boy had been tasked with guarding royalty. If only he knew…

[color=skyblue]“Uh, yeah. Let’s just go. It’s not too far… even for terrestrials.”[/color] Augus IV let the term slip.

[color=seagreen]“Eh, before we start calling them [i]that [/i] the whole time, what are your names? Or what should we call you?”[/color] The sweeter of the two asked since their father hadn’t provided the detail. Once introductions were settled, the group would venture to the market. Linus insisted on splitting up, and Augus IV agreed as it meant getting rid of his brother for a brief time. While Linus decided to go the Odds & Ends since it was [I]his[/i] favorite place to shop, Augus IV thought the Gadgets and Convenience Shop would prove better for what Orias was looking for.
