Ajax Thera - Council Member

The young man glanced over in the direction Master Jak pointed out. He seemed entirely unfazed by Gwen this time, though he did narrow his eyes as the two women began playing around over clothes. "I see," Ajax spoke, mainly to himself. When the servants asked him if he wanted anything he gave a polite nod. "Hot cocoa would be nice, thank you." As he was served his drink, Ajax looked back toward Jak. "Word has been spreading, in regards to Crocus's two guilds. People pay attention to rumors and stories. Vyper Bolt and Harpy's Wing have been common names, but now there are more and more stories of specific members." He sipped his drink, paying absolutely no mind to the heat. A refreshing sigh escaped him. "I see now the stories of the nudist ice mage are true... That isn't very family-friendly." His tone seemed all business now. "I was not present at your trial some time ago, but to my knowledge the rest of the Council supports the guilds." His yellow eyes locked with Master Jak. No words were spoken, but the inference was clear. Ajax had a higher standard than the others. "Maturity is important when you become a household name. Mages that become idols need to have good characteristics to nurture a brighter future." He took another sip of his hot cocoa now. "But it is too early for me to judge just yet. I have hardly seen Vyper Bolt or Harpy's Wing, let alone met any members. Though I have heard a few stories..."

Ajax Thera - Council Member

The young man's expression didn't change, though his tone of voice did. "I've noticed that Vyper Bolt has become a remarkable guild. I've been meaning to come by for a long time but my schedule never let me," Ajax spoke, using a notably cheery voice. "It is my duty as a part of the Magic Council to keep tabs on our guilds." His yellow eyes shifted across the room, spotting Caroline and Gwen. Noticing the naked woman, his face immediately grew red and he hastily returned his gaze to Master Jak. "I can see that your guild has some... interesting quirks about it already," he said, stuttering first before regaining his serious composure. "I would like to meet your guild's finest mages. Your best representatives. I want to see what they are like. Or in other words, I want to see how responsible they are as human beings..." By now the redness of his face had entirely vanished. "I understand there is a rivalry with Harpy's Wing, no? I want to see with my own eyes that it won't affect either guild's performance."

Ajax Thera - Council Member

The black-haired man looked a bit flustered as his opponent put him in a checkmate. The expression quickly passed into a serious one as his yellow eyes went up to Kyou before him. It no longer appeared that he was bothered by his defeat at the game. "We will see what comes of those guilds," he spoke, his voice surprisingly soft-spoken despite being a notably large fellow. "I have a feeling they are more important than we realize..."

Two Weeks Later

The relatively young council member walked silently through the streets of Crocus. His large stature and choice of clothing, being that it resembled black samurai armor, made him easily noticed. Most naturally stepped out of his way, but his body language held no threatening presence. Ajax approached the Vyper Bolt district, stopping a moment to admire it. Though his serious expression didn't change, his eyes were clearly darting around and soaking in the details. With heavy footsteps he entered the district, ascending the stairs and looking around for any signs of life. It wasn't until the council member arrived at the main building did he find anyone. With a polite knock at the front door, he entered the guild hall and took a brief look around. His gaze eventually settled on several older gentlemen, whom Ajax presumed were a few of the Masters of Vyper Bolt. "Excuse me, gentlemen," he introduced, keeping his voice at a respectfully low volume. "I came here on behalf of the Magic Council to inquire about some of your members. Do you have the time to answer a few questions?"

Maddox

Oh no, Maddox thought to himself as Grane began venting, or that was how it appeared to Maddox. That bright flash was the Anima. I didn't think that legend still existed. His red eyes settled on Masahiko before going back to Grane. "Assigning blame won't get anything done, sir," he said aloud, to get the attention of both the Magic Council members. He looked up at the ceiling, bringing a hand to his chin. "Anyone above us would've been sucked in too. We need to regroup and see who is missing." Now he looked back over to Grane. "Rather than thinking about how to punish Phoenix Wing, we need to think of how to get the others back without bringing Shutler back." Then his eyes went to Masahiko. "But Grane does have a point. The Magic Council seems ill-equipped to handle people like Shutler, if there are others. That shouldn't be our focus now, but it is something to think about once this task at hand is dealt with." The red-haired mage waved everyone over to him, motioning for them to approach. "Let's just get out of this building. Grane and I can get everyone out with the magic we have left. No point in taking our time to walk out."

Beatrixand Edo-Maddox and Edo-Beatrix

The giant Legion landed outside White Hydra's hall, next to the stables. Edo-Maddox jumped down, giving Beatrix a glare for her to follow. She first scowled and flipped him off before getting down from the flying creature. "You'd do well to mind your tongue here," he warned, walking towards the hall. "Each and every one of my men is a hardened killer. There is a reason neither the Royal army nor the guilds dare challenge White Hydra, though by myself I am more than enough for either." "Sounds pretty bullshit," Beatrix grumbled, causing Edo-Maddox to stop. "They don't challenge you but you haven't challenged them either until you got your hands on some magic. That makes you their equal, not their superior." The snake-head staff reached out and tapped against her forehead, a seemingly light and almost playful tap. But the very contact made Beatrix fall backwards and scream in pain, grabbing the afflicted area. "False. I am smarter than to challenge either, as defeating one would leave me vulnerable to the other. With magic, I can defeat them both at the same time. The power gap has increased. I am undeniably the most powerful human being, but soon I will also have the most control." The back doors to the guild hall opened and several people wandered outside, curious about the scream they heard. In the midst of the forming crowd, the trio that included Edo-Beatrix pushed forward. "We accomplished the mission, Maddox!" Edo-Beatrix proclaimed, holding several papers in her hand. It took her a second but she soon spotted the Earthland version of herself. The two locked eyes and Earthland Beatrix jumped to her feet. "You work for this man!?" Beatrix questioned in a threatening manner. In an equal tone, Edo-Beatrix retorted "What's wrong with Maddox!?" "He murdered our... I mean my father and friends! My guild! Earthland White Hydra was decimated by Maddox!" Everyone was silent, before chuckling began to rise from the crowd. Even Edo-Beatrix began laughing. The only people that weren't laughing were Beatrix and Edo-Maddox. "You fool," Ursus said from the crowd, stepping forward. "Your world isn't ours. We don't care about it. And besides, it shows that your White Hydra was weak. The weak die, the strong prevail." Edo-Beatrix shoved Beatrix onto the ground while the girl wasn't paying attention, with an expression proving she clearly enjoyed the violence. "It's a miracle he didn't kill you along with the rest of your guild, then. If you're from Earthland... you must be pathetically weak without your precious magic... Wait a minute..." Edo-Beatrix turned to Edo-Maddox. "If the Maddox from her world spared her... that means he has feelings for her... which means you mi-" "No. Time to stop fooling around. Throw her in the dungeon and get the slaves to start working on those designs." Edo-Beatrix had a disappointed look as her master began walking away. While the crowd of assassins began to drag a kicking and angry Beatrix into the hall, Ursus caught up with Edo-Maddox. "If Earthlanders are appearing in Edolas..." he began, "What if your Earthland version arrived? Do you think he would pose a problem, considering that he is you?" Edo-Maddox looked over his shoulder at Ursus, his expression as neutral as it always is. "In his world it is highly likely that he is strong. But in this world he will be just as weak as Beatrix is. They rely on magic in Earthland. I have no worries about any of the Earthlanders. What worries me most is Phoenix Wing. As they are, they can't stop me. But if they ally with the Royal army, as unlikely as that is, there will be difficulties." Edo-Maddox looked out over the cliff. "That guild is too small and too weak. The Kingdom is too stupid and too uncoordinated. We don't need them combining strengths and covering each other's weaknesses."
