Holding up his winnings, Rubick proudly continued on, "[color=limegreen]...and a Fade Bolt to finish him off. Your dark magic really aided me in my victory.[/color]" Rubick would've continued further, but a familiar face came forward with her usual cat puns. "[color=limegreen]Ahh, hello, Nadia![/color]" Rubick greeted her. "[color=limegreen]A shame we missed the fun, but we had a need to acquire some funds![/color]" He held up his bag of Geo to show her. "[color=limegreen]I spied a few components in the magic emporium I need to craft my father's scepter. The Aghanim's Scepter, it is called. It will increase the strength of my abilities, and possibly any I copy from the others as well. Now, the shops await![/color]" With that explanation out of the way, Rubick then pulled out his Blink Dagger and blinked away, quickly making his way into the emporium. Rubick browsed the shop's wares. It was easy enough to find what he was looking for, but it turned out that Rubick still lacked the necessary amount of Geo needed to afford them all. Disappointed, Rubick sighed and made his way back out. Rubick would've liked to get more Geo, but he doubted he had the time or stamina to go through more rounds in the Thorn. He would have to locate funds somewhere else. Reconvening with the rest of the Seekers at the gates, Rubick looked around, wondering who might have enough to borrow from. His eyes eventually landed on Sectonia and the Koopa Troop. Surely they, being royalty, had enough funds to borrow from. He decided to try his luck with the bug queen first. Making his way over to Sectonia, he greeted her, "[color=limegreen]Hello there, Queen Sectonia! I was wondering if you would be so kind as to grant me a small amount of Geo. You see, there are a number of components in a magic emporium in this city I need to purchase. With them, I aim to craft the Aghanim's Scepter, which will boost my powers immensely. What do you say?[/color]"
