The Vanishing Kingdom

Kalla

Thankfully for Maeve, who was already struggling to help Allard to walk, the strange man who had arrived was quick to tell them that the explosion had nothing to do with a girl and the man who was on it's radius was probably in pieces already. After such a quick answer, Maeve hoped Allard would calm himself down a bit instead of worrying about his daughter and try to escape to go and search for her despite his condition. Not only the strange man offered an explanation about the explosion, but Sev himself knew exactly what it was, saying it was one of the bandits, that exploded himself after he captured them.

"I'm grateful. It's not exactly an easy task for me to try and drag someone who is many times bigger and heavier than me to the temple." Maeve said with a chuckle as the strange man offered to help her to carry Allard.

"It's indeed strange..." Maeve replied as she heard Sev mentioning the possible cause for all that situation while he turned the spear he was holding into a staff again, cleaning off the blood from it.

Getting inside the temple, they were finally able to see how busy the healer really was and how grave the town was attacked. There were many wounded, so many that one healer wasn't being able to take care of them anymore.
As the strange man mentioned that the healer wouldn't mind sharing a healing spell with her if she didn't know some, discreetly suggesting that it would be a good idea for her to help since she was an Isoli, Maeve simply nodded, understanding what he meant.

"Don't worry, even though I'm not a specialized healer, I'm an Isoli. Healing magic is almost instinctual to us, just like ice magic is. I will be able to help." Maeve said, making sure the healer also heard her words before nodding towards her, indicating she would do the possible to help.

His next words though would immediately clarify what was happening with the town. The name they heard earlier, the 'Emperor of Greed' was indeed a man. Lord Calibris and the bandits they were fighting were indeed his men. Apparently, the name Lord Calibris had wasn't just a title, his greed indeed knew no bounds, willing to do anything and everything to get what he wants.

"I wasn't aware that such person existed..." Maeve said, not trying to hide the disgusted tone in her voice after she heard his words.

"He doesn't seem the type of person who has a lot of friends. Seeing how he secured his position of power despite his actions, I assume that either he has an obscene amount of resources, money and power or someone is supporting him. Am I correct?" Maeve asked ass she began using healing magic to at least stabilize Allard's condition.

Blood's Jewels (High Casual Fantasy Revolution)

In the ruined town of Sharon, Shalador

The exact moment they entered the town, they all could feel the unpleasant atmosphere in the air. Despite how elegant the town was, not much was necessary for them to realize something was going on. Unlike Fatima, Dareen or Jandar, who were disguising themselves as nobles, merchants and guards, Mikhail's disguise was much simpler, but at the same time, more complicated. With only a ragged cloak over his head to protect against the weather, the biggest reason why his disguise was so good wasn't what he was wearing, but how he walked, how he acted, his movements. Everything, every step given, even his position among the crowd was carefully made in order for him to be inconspicuous and blend with the crowd. Despite being following the others, to most people, he was just another traveler, just as annoyed by their presence as the locals themselves were. For now, there was no need to use his sight shield, but depending where Fatima, Jandar and Dareen were going, blending himself with the locals might be considerably harder... Then he would have to use more advanced methods.

Hushed words and comments said in conspiratorial tones reached Mikhail's ears as they passed in front of the tavern made it clear that something was indeed happening that included the queen. Daria's Red Moon House, someone leaving the manor when the queen herself wouldn't like to. Not only those comments caught Mikhail's attention, but the fact that the Fatima and her escort were being followed by the eyes of several people among the crowd, especially one that was far better dressed than the rest. The moment they passed in front of the tavern though, the same group that was talking about Daria's Red Moon House and this person before became silent, clearly indicating their dislike towards the strange man after he was far from them. The tension in the town was clear, the Queen's guards and the locals weren't on the best of terms and in case something happened, a single spark was all it would be needed for something to happen... Mikhail could very well use that to their advantage depending of the situation.

Ayita smiled as Cade mentioned the weapons being merely a gift and a payment for the stories from her world she told Cade about on their travels. She was happy that Cade thought of her as more than merely friends. From his words, the unspoken bond between them became clear to Ayita as well. They were indeed more than just friends. After all, they were fighting for the same cause.

Regarding her question on how to approach the Faun and the Centaur though, Cade merely whispered that Avalia itself would help them. Surprisingly enough, the words he said did appeared to be more than mere words, as it was the centaur who approached them first, praising Cade's weapon. Not only the centaur, but the faun too approached them, interested by Sakura's parasol, mentioning how pretty it was.

Before introducing himself, Cade mentioned that the centaur had good eyes, asking how he could miss his target earlier in a not so discreet statement, indicating that he not only saw what happened but knew that he missed on purpose. Knowing that those words would also make it clear to the centaur he was also a warrior and wasn't carrying that halberd just for show, that might make it easier for them to approach and befriend them.

Even though Ayita was glad to make more allies, she couldn't help but think that Sakura indeed had a point on the words she spoke. The faun and the centaur indeed had a... situation... going on with the local authorities. If they weren't careful, they could be dragged to their problem, whatever it was, as well...

"It is a pleasure to meet you both." Ayita said, looking to both strangers with a smile after Sakura introduced her to the Faun.

"I'm Ayita, It's a pleasure to meet you." she said, greeting both of them.

Even though Kol and Darius began talking about Darius' powers, Myra was too distracted, amazed by the snow and the huge mountains outside to pay much attention at them. She also noticed that even though she was inside the flying metal 'Amora' thing, the windows themselves were already cold to the touch, indicating that maybe Darius wasn't just worrying over nothing. The cold did really seem it would be rather intense. While Myra could easily maintain her bodily temperature by moving herself, having the coat would make it more comfortable for her and despite it being uncomfortably heavy, she was now a bit grateful for having it.

Upon arriving at their destination, Darius turned to Myra before he exited the Amora. He did mention that they could leave the coat inside the Amora if she wanted, but instead of immediately taking it off, she thought about it for a while. She quite obviously had a lot of energy to burn and was extremely curious. It wouldn't be that hard for her to maintain her temperature since she would keep moving without even having to think about it but Darius and Kol probably wouldn't like that much if she kept darting around from one place to another. Even though she considered leaving the coat behind, maybe taking it wasn't a bad idea as well...

It was then that a strange humming coming from the woods interrupted Myra's thoughts. She didn't know what it was but for some reason, Darius thought it sounded sad. Kol did seem to protest as he began walking towards the sound, but Darius was quick to ignore him, throwing the bag of shiny coins at him before he ran towards the sound, telling Myra to go ahead since she was faster.

Paying no attention at Kol, Myra immediately took off the cloak, just like Darius had taught her and left it inside the Amora before dashing to the same direction Darius went, surpassing him in no time as she kept going towards the source of the humming. Even though she was running further inside the woods, the only sounds that she made while running were almost imperceptible, leaving only her footprints behind. Her speed, coupled with her impeccably white fur, skin and hair made her almost impossible to spot, appearing as merely a white blur.

Ada

^{@Restalaan@ShwiggityShwah}

Even though Ada was a bit confused about what was the topic of the conversation between everyone, she was still happy that there were so many people together. There were the two plant sisters, Sylvia and Vivian, Ozzy, Haley, Neil and even the boy that seemed to be a bit sad yesterday, Ditzy, seemed to be in pretty high spirits as he began pushing the plant sisters' cart. It was a surprise to Ada to see how strong he was, despite his small body. Happy with being around so many people, but completely oblivious to the conversation ongoing and the moral dilemma between what they were going to do, Ada simply darted around, happy and with a smile on her face as she looked at each member, seeing what they were doing and wondering where they would go this time.

When Ozzy called her name, not only confirming that she would go with them as well but that they would need her help, Ada immediately let out a kind smile, obviously happy due to the words she had just heard from him. As Ozzy formally introduced her to the group, even though they probably had already noticed her presence due to her darting around, she stopped near him, looking to them and making a smile, in a silent indication that she would be happy to help them if needed.

Ada merely followed the group, as she had absolutely no idea where they were going, but after some time walking, they arrived on a pretty strange place for Ada. There were lots and lots of abandoned and destroyed buildings, some even larger than the guild and the overall atmosphere of the place wasn't that good. There were also strange stone tablets on the ground, some crosses other equally strange objects dotting the landscape. When a young boy, just like Neil himself approached them, speaking to them, Ada assumed he would be the one that they were sent to help. After talking for a while, the strange boy led them behind a big, broken down building, to a field that was replete with the strange stone tablets, lots of them broken, on the ground. After paying attention to his words, Ada understood enough from them to know that they were supposed to search for something in that field, but she didn't know what it was, how it looked like nor where to begin. Looking at the rest of the group, she curiously waited for instructions.

Freyr

^@PaulHaynek

Freyr couldn't help but find George's energetic attitude and company unexpectedly pleasant. He did seem to be a good man, judging by how he went out of his way in order to ask about the other guild members and make conversation even though he didn't need to. Unlike George's friendly attitude though, his carriage was very well hidden and well secured, giving Freyr quite an ominous feeling regarding it's contents. Despite that, he simply went together with George, as it was his job.

Surprisingly enough, it didn't take long after they left the port for them to meet a group of female goblins riding a wagon of their own, who immediately inquired about the valuable contents that were being transported by George. Judging how little time it took since they left the port, it was almost too much of a coincidence... Still, the roads were indeed dangerous. It also wasn't that unlikely that the goblin group somehow ended up knowing that George would be taking valuable cargo on that day.

When the goblins began throwing stones and trying to jump to George's wagon with their clubs in hand.

"Just keep driving, don't stop." Freyr replied to George as he asked for help.

Standing up on top of the wagon, Freyr quickly aimed his bow towards the driver and shot an arrow, missing the goblin driver's hands by mere inches and instead, hitting the reins and cutting them. After a few quick shots towards the goblins that were either throwing stones or trying to jump at their wagon, all missing them by mere inches or hitting the clubs and stones in their hands, Freyr stopped, looking at them with a threatening stare.

"I would like to avoid any needless bloodshed. Please leave us." Freyr said, ready to shoot again.

Myra was still struggling to adapt in wearing that heavy coat, despite Darius words. Since she never wore anything before and was used in moving herself without anything to hinder her, that coat felt very... heavy and restrictive for her. That said, it was undeniably warm though. Since Darius wanted her to wear it so bad, she was making an effort to not immediately take it off though.

Following Darius out of their room, they finally met with Kol, who was waiting for them while standing before a very big, strange metallic boat thing. It had a lot of tubes, wheels and two big hollow wheels with weirdly shaped sticks inside of it. Myra had absolutely no idea of what it was or what they would do with it but as Darius entered on it, she assumed she should follow him. Before she went in though, she slowly approached it, examining it the best she could, even though she understood absolutely nothing about it.

The moment it turned on though, it began to shake a little and they began going up. Agitated by what was happening, it took a few moments for Myra to understand what was happening and what that big thing was. Darius and Kol called it 'Amora' and it was apparently used by them to fly. Just as curious as Darius was, Myra spent most of the trip either looking through the window or curiously watching the driver as he pressed many buttons and turned a big wheel, apparently telling that big thing where to go.

NEOTOKYO: State of Disarray [Open]

^{Interactions: Karine Asagi @FalloutJack}

Nina was happy that the first person from the NSF she met seemed to be such a kind woman. Instead of getting mad with her due to her interruption and even intrusion on her training session, instead she didn't even care that much about it. Despite Nina's curiosity for her cybernetic implants, including the reason she had so many, Nina knew better than to just let her curiosity speak for her and ask questions that could be quite rude, indelicate or maybe touch on a subject she didn't really want to discuss. She wasn't able to hide her eyes wandering through her cybernetic implants for a brief while though.

"Well, It will certainly be much easier to get advanced cybernetic parts and all the things I need to pla-, I mean... work with than dealing with the guys in the black market. Those guys respect only money... Not really the trustworthy type if you ask me." Nina said with a chuckle.

When she showed interest on her crossbow though, Nina's eyes almost shined with excitement as she visibly leaned forward with a small jump.

"Oh, you will be surprised by it!" Nina said, with a giggle and a proud smirk.

"At this point, I can safely say it's a completely custom model. It started as a simple aftermarket crossbow but there is absolutely nothing left from the original weapon. Different design, different pieces, mechanisms. Completely silent, it's range, stopping power and penetration power being able to rival a modern DMR. Plus it can use some pretty interesting ammunition types too!" Nina started as she began explaining the basic aspects of her weapon and clearly starting to get exponentially more complicated before she stopped herself.

"...And I probably got too excited talking about it, didn't I? And I didn't even started speaking about my legs. Custom model, built by me from scratch. They're actually incredibly complicated since they're not exactly just cybernetic... It would be more accurate to say they're bio-cybernetic, but I won't bother you with the details unless you are interested on them... If you are though, don't hesitate in asking!" Nina said, laughing.

After seeing how excitedly she was talking about both her legs and the crossbow, not only her interests, but the fact that she was a specialist on those matters were quite clear.

"Oh, that's right! I didn't introduce myself yet! I'm Nina. Nina Hart. Happy to meet ya!" Nina said, with a happy tone and smile.

Suddenly, Asagi's expression changed as she looked to nowhere for a second, probably receiving a report from her cybernetic implants. Her worried face made it clear that whatever happened was pretty bad. The moment Asagi told Nina for her to get her equipment though, Nina's happy and cheerful behavior suddenly changed. Her experience and training became immediately clear due to that.

"On my way." Nina said, in a serious tone as she immediately dashed to her room, getting her crossbow and wearing her light armor and all her equipment in just a few moments.

After done, she went to the corridor to meet with Asagi again. The woman in front of her though was almost completely different from the happy, easygoing girl that was talking with her back on the training room. Both the way she moved, her expression and even how calm showed her training, competence and reliability.

"Report on the situation?" Nina asked, ready to go whenever Asagi was.

UNFAIR MONSTERS [Spots Open]

Nori Hirai

Truth be told, even though Nori wasn't really used in having that many people nearby, seeing as mostly always he was just lazing around by himself, it was still really pleasant, seeing how everyone was just enjoying themselves and happily eating sweets. Even though they had just defeated a monster...

"Please, don't worry about it, Emily." Nori said as the homeless girl introduced herself, voicing her worries about not being able to pay back for the cake.

"Just think about it as your payment for your help, ok?" he said, looking to the girl with a kind expression before he looked at the strange girl once more.

Honestly, Nori never saw someone so focused in eating something before nor he saw someone who looked so happy as the girl was right now as she proceeded to devour the large dessert she asked for. He couldn't help but chuckle as he saw the girl eating and enjoying it so much.

The next words that came out of her mouth were surprising though. As she continued eating, she paused in between bites to apologize for dragging all them into fighting with the monster, indicating that she indeed had, not only the power to take them to where the monster was, but she was, in fact, the source of their strange powers. Apparently, she was far from being just an ordinary girl.

Before they could say anything though, she was gone just as suddenly as she appeared, but not first without leaving them with some very impactful words. They had one month until the next monster arrived. One month to rest or to prepare themselves.

"Well... That was something... One month huh..." Nori said to himself, reflecting upon the girl's words.

Ada

^{@Restalaan@ShwiggityShwah}

Yang was the first to wake up, waving towards Ada with a smile as she asked if she wanted to see her make Ozzy suffer. While Ada didn't understand her words, tilting her head in confusion, she followed Yang nonetheless, since there was nothing better to do.

Ada watched curiously as Yang started doing a series of complicated movements with her body, bending herself in strange angles. After watching her for a bit, Ada started trying to imitate her movements. Even though she got most of them wrong, the ways she was bending her own body and members showed to be almost impossible for a normal person, revealing that Ada was much more flexible than one initially thought.

When Ozzy arrived, Yang said something about flexibility, as she started doing similar movements with Ozzy, probably the same type of exercise she was making herself, only a bit slower and more delicately to not hurt him. Watching curiously as Yang carefully stretched and helped Ozzy to train, Ada wondered why it did seem to be so hard for him when she did those weird movements so easily. She even tried repeating some of those while looking at Ozzy, almost as if trying to teach him how to do it.

It did take some time for the training session to be over, Ozzy and Haley went back inside the guild as they began looking to a strange board filled with papers with things written on them. After some thinking Ozzy seemed to have decided on what to do as he talked about it excitedly. As he looked to one of the other members, Ada looked at both of them with a curious expression, almost if asking if they wanted her to come as well. She didn't know exactly where they would go, but it should be interesting so if possible, she would want to come too.

Freyr

^@PaulHaynek

Arriving on Boreal port, Freyr went to meet with the man called George Costava. The trip went pretty well, without incidents and the city seemed to be a very calm port town, in most aspects, just your average small town. As he arrived on the meeting place, he saw a rather expensive looking carriage, with a middle aged man wearing a striking red sweater on it's helm. Before he could ask anything, a voice with a heavy accent came from the middle aged man when he saw Freyr. Apparently, that was the same George Costava that he was sent to help.

"I'm Freyr, a Viera working for the guild." Freyr replied, shaking the middle aged man's hand after he introduced himself with quite an energetic attitude. He seemed to be glad to see Freyr.

When George mentioned a gentleman, Freyr immediately thought about Bast. The monster harem he mentioned should be the centaur woman and the other monster girl who quit the guild.

"You must mean Bast. Honestly, no one knows where he went. He was always quite a mysterious man. I am quite sure he took the centaur woman with him though." Freyr replied to George's question.

"You asked for protection on the road, right? I am quite confident in both my senses and my abilities so don't worry even though I'm alone." Freyr said as he nodded towards the middle aged man.
