Welkins noted as Reia left she was almost about to cry. 'Well now you've done it.' He thought to himself. When she left, he hardly payed any attention to the class. He already knew it all. The only think on his mind was that if Reia was alright or not. It felt like forever until she had returned. It looked like she had felt better and she was blushing. He briefly wondered what happened to make her blush like that. A surge of frustration corsed through him, but went away when Reia asked if they were still on for dinner. "Of course we are." He said smiling at her then watched as she left again. Another boring day at class like usual. Regardless he still did the work.

Once class was over he didn't even bother to go to his fathers study. He knew he wasn't back and there was nothing else for him to do. On his way out, Welkins spotted Kalona talking to Wendy. He didn't really want to talk to him at all so he tried to walk past. Didn't work. Kalona spotted him and started to walk him way. Welkins gave him a bit of an evil eye, but looked away. He was not someone you wanted to get mad. "Welkins." He said. "Good job last night I wasn't able to properly congratulate you." Welkins stopped and looked Kalona in the eye. "Not a problem just doing my job. Say Kalona when can we sign up to be sent into battle or do some scouting at least. I feel like my skills might be better used on the battle field." Kalona just smiled and laughed a bit. "Don't worry Welkins, we already have people on that you don't need to go." This pissed off Welkins a bit, but just left it alone. "Okay thanks." Was all he said and then left to go home. He wanted to get a head start on the dinner and cleaning up his house a bit.

Roxas knew he wasn't getting around talking about this so he just took a deep breath and laid back down on the bed. "I have the king of hell living inside me. He's chained to me and sometimes I have conversations with him. It's a little messed up I know, but it's been that way for the last ten years so you kinda get used to it." He had no idea why he was telling Morthos all this right now. Maybe it was because of his fight with Ophelia. All he wanted was for someone to understand his situation. So he told it to him. All the nitty gritty details about the battle with his old team and how Celti died. Why Ifrit was chained to him and that the reason why he uses his powers during combat. "You see if I don't use his powers I will die with the build up of energy he causes being chained to me. I don't mind it, but the downfall is that I can hear him and talk to him." He sat up and looked over at Morthos. "That's my story for the most part. 18 year old kid gets in over his head and ten years later is still a ticking time bomb. If I die he's released and everyone here is dead. Think you want to be in a party with me still?"

Roxas get's up to move to the window. "Tomorrow I'll be using his power again. My mask is how I channel it. I rip it off and it releases his powers to me. Hurts like hell when I do it because it rips the skin off my face and blood pours down. You'll see it tomorrow. I have to keep a timer on me though at all times because if I use it for more than 20 seconds I could either go into a coma or die. I really don't get much of a beifet from it at all." He turns back to Morthos taking in the reaction. "If I die tomorrow, I don't care how hard it would be, I need you to take Ophelia and Jax and get the hell out of here." He didn't really wait for a response before he got into his bed and tried to fall asleep. Maybe Morthos would understand everything. If not it didn't matter. The next day was going to be hectic.

Roxas watched as Ophelia left. Why couldn't she just understand. It didn't really surprise him all that much though. No one ever did. It had been ten years since Celti died and his life changed forever. None of this was his choice. The battle with Ifrit was supposed to go a different way. Celti was going to chain him down to her so she could take him and dispose of him properly. She was the spellcaster of the Phantom Thieves. An S class spellcaster. It wasn't until Ifrit had hit her that the spell bounced off and chained itself to Roxas. There was nothing that could have been done to stop it. Celti was about to die and Ifrit had to be chained so as a final resort, Celti finished the spell and chained Ifrit to Roxas. Since then he has had to live with him chained down. He lost friends because of it thinking he was insane or just didn't want to be around him. It was a rough life, but he got used to it.

Roxas didn't realize it, but Morthos had come back from the hot tub. "Oh hey Morthos."
Was all he got out. It looked like he had just had the best time of his life. That made him smile. At least one of them was having a bit of a good time. Roxas quickly changed into something more comfortable then laid down on the bed. "Hell of a day wasn't it? Tomorrow's going to be even better. I love me a good fight." That was mostly Ifrit talking, but at the same time Roxas too. "Hey, sorry I had to leave suddenly." He sat up and looked over at Morthos. "I have this little problem I had to deal with." He wasn't sure if he wanted to tell Morthos about Ifrit yet. "So how was you're alone time with Jax?" He asked trying to avoid talking about what had just happened with Ophelia.

Welkins made his way into the class room and saw Reia sitting already. He noticed that she had waved at him and he waved back. Sliding his way past the other students standing around and talking, he finally made it to the table Reia was at. "Sorry we didn't get much of a chance to talk earlier, I had to go see guild master Amleth about something." He looked at her slightly and smiled. "So how was your mission? you look exhausted." She did though. It looked like she hadn't been able to sleep a wink in the last day or so. Something must have happened and he almost regretted asking. If it was bad he didn't want her to have to relive it by talking to him about it. "You know what, don't worry about it. It's your business and you dont need to tell me." He smiled again and took her hand slightly to show that he understood and she didn't have to say anything.

Roxas didn't realize it at the time, but when get got out of the shower to dry off he noticed he was crying a bit. That sure as hell wasn't normal. Not long after he could hear Ophelia asking him to come out and talk to her. 'Shit she heard me.' The thought went through his head. This was not a conversation he wanted to have right now, but there was no way to get around it. "I'll be right there." He said with a hint of shaky in his voice. He wrapped the towel round his waist the walked over to the door and slowly opened it. "Hi." He looked at her, taking in all her features and noticed that she was still in her swim suit. His face was all red and Roxas wiped away the tear that was forming in the bottom left of his eye. "Didn't think you'd be here so quickly otherwise I would have changed quicker. Sorry for the indecency." His voice was soft and probably a little hard to hear to a normal person, but he knew Ophelia had better hearing and could hear every word. "I hope I didn't worry you. I'm sorry if I did. I just needed a bit of time alone... I.." He stopped the words seemed to get caught in his throat and he couldn't get them out.

Not much made Roxas upset anymore. If anything he got mad during fights, but that was about it. It wasn't a surprise though. The fact that his whole team had been wiped out and then just talked about like it wasn't anything, and his girlfriend just got threatened. Not really a good night since he couldn't do anything about it. Maybe Ophelia wouldn't question him on it to much. He didn't know how much more he could take right now. Normally if he was upset, Roxas would shower, but that wasn't going to work right now.

Roxas listened intently to the plan. It seemed pretty straight forward. Ophelia would take on the Alpha and he would take on the Beta. Everyone took their turn talking about the plan while he stayed quiet. Not much he needed to say in this situation. While Morthos gave his demonstration of what he would do, Roxas shifted so his arm was around Ophelia's waist. He pulled her slightly closer to him then continued to listen. Not but seconds later, Ifrit started talking to him again. "Okay I've waited long enough. Get out of the hot tub and go so we can talk. You can play with your girlfriend later." It almost sounded like Ifrit was being a nagging mother right now. The thought of that mad Roxas laugh a little. He knew that Ifrit was pissed though.

"Okay." Roxas reluctantly started to shift to leave. "Plan sounds great guys. I gotta go." He knew that sounded odd, but didn't really care to much right now. If it worried her, he figured Ophelia would follow. It didn't take him long to dry off make his way back to the room. Once the door had closed he took his wet shirt off and threw it into the bathroom. "The fuck do you want?!" It was rare to hear Roxas swear unless he was really ticked off. "You know that this is important to me. Just because you 'live' in me, doesn't mean you have free rain or can tell me what to do." Ifrit scoffed. "Boy you know damn well if I really wanted to I could take over your body and kill every last one of these miserable pests. Plus this isn't important to you. You just want to make that vampire of yours happy. You're the one you who won't talk to me in front of them. I don't know how, but you made it so I can't hear your thoughts so we can't talk that way." Roxas walked into the bathroom after his shirt and turned on the shower to mask his voice in the case that Morthos came back. Might as well get in the shower too.

"Okay one don't ever talk about Ophelia like that. She is my girlfriend and you will respect her. Two you can't do shit and you fucking know it. You have Celti's chains and Jax's chains. You're not going anywhere so quit your idle threats." Roxas shut the light off before he got into the shower he knew this was going to be a long night if things didn't get resolved. "Enough of this bullshit fighting. This isn't what I wanted to talk about anyways. What aren't we going to kick some ass tonight like we planned?" Ifrit changed the subject. "You've been doing this a long time now why are you taking orders now?" "Because I'm not an idiot Ifrit. You saw what we're up against and if there was less then five then maybe we could take them. You know I can only use your power for a short time before I either pass out or die. I know you're hopping for that I die so you can escape, but you know that's not going to happen." He starts to wash himself to get all the chlorine off. "Oh so what you're afraid of getting kicked around now? I know what it is. You don't what your 'girlfriend' to get mad at you. You're going soft."

"Yeah well I'd rather that than be dead. Ophelia's the only person to make me feel again since you murdered Celti ten years ago." Ifrit scoffed. "Murdered is such a harsh word. I like released from this world more." Roxas snarled at that. Even though it had been ten years already, it still stung to remember that he is sharing a body with the thing that murdered his whole team and his first love. "Whatever you want to call it it still happened. You're lucky I don't let Jax kill you now. Regardless we are not leaving tonight and that's final. Now get out of my head!" He yelled right as the door to his room shut. The shower was on full blast so whoever it was would have only heard a muffled yell if anything. Roxas thought for a minute then decided that he'd just blame it on the water being to hot.

Welkins wasn't expecting Reia to kiss his cheek. It really took him by surprise and sent a shiver down his spine. Not a bad feeling, but not one he was used to at all. He watched as she turned and left the other way, then started to walk to Amleth's office. It wasn't to far from where the lecture theater was, but with all the people in the way either leaving to meet with Kalona or just running to classes, the halls were hectic. After waiting and pushing a little, Welkins finally made it to Amleth's office. It didn't surprise him that he wasn't there yet. There was probably a lot of questions being asked and whatnot. It didn't matter to much if Amleth was late or not. This was a big deal and he didn't want anyone to be overly freaked out.

Not but five minutes later Amleth came in. "Sorry for the wait Welkins. It's pretty crazy out there." Amleth gave a weary smile then went to sit at his desk. "All right now I'm not going to waist your time so I'm just going to cut right to the chase. I know Kalona said he didn't want and students to help out with this, but if it wasn't for you we wouldn't know anything about this. Felix doesn't think that this is a big deal. He's probably just mad that you are that one who grabbed this data. We all know he has something against your father and naturally that means you too. At least in his eyes. But that's besides the point. I wan't you to keep doing what you're doing and keep look out at night. I trust the hunters to do their jon, but no one has that eye like yours." Amleth always like praising Welkins and it was always nice to hear it, but this was going against Kalona and even though Amleth didn't answer to him, it was still a scary thought to go against his wishes. "Now I know that this isn't what Kalona wanted, but I really think that we need you too. You don't have to say anything right now. The offer is on the table. Just give me an answer before tonight okay?" And that was it. Amleth nodded his head and let Welkins leave without letting him say a word.

Obviously he was going to say yes. The town meant a lot to him and now that he had someone he wanted to impress, Welkins wanted to protect it and her more than ever. Now wasn't the time to think about that yet. It was almost time for weaponry and he couldn't wait to see Reia again. Regardess of what happened before she left.

Welkins didn't have much time to spend with Reia right now, even though he wanted to. He had to go with Amleth and Kalona to talk about what was going to happen. "I have no idea what's going to happen but I just hope it won't be to bad. I cant stay long though would you like to come tonight and have dinner with me and we can catch up on the ladt day?" He smiled even though his heart wasnt in it right now. As much as Reia took his mind off of most things, this potential war scared him. He waited for her to reply before hr left.

Roxas nodded to Morthos when he told him about being followed then walked up to their rooms together. Once in the room he looked through his bag and found his trunks. He didn't normally swim, but after today it seemed to be well worth it. He put on his trunks and a shirt then followed Morthos out to the hot tub. Even though Jax knew about the pentagram on his back didn't mean he wanted the others to see it yet. That was a conversation that he was not ready to have. When they got out to the hot tub, the girls were already in. Roxas walked over to it and crossed his arms. "Seems like you two beat us to it." He smiled at Ophelia as he got in and smirked at Morthos when he made his joke. He sat next to Ophelia then took her hand under the water. Even though he didn't know much about her, he still loved her. After looking at Ophelia for a bit, Roxas turned his attention to Jax as she was explaining what they had found. It was very interesting hearing what she had to say. He figured he would keep his mouth shut on this one and let Ophelia explain since she knew more about what was going on than him.

Once everyone was seated into the theater, everyone went quiet. They knew that something had to be wrong. All three guild masters were seated on the stage waiting for there to be absolute silence. From right to left it was Kalona, Amleth, and then Felix. Felix still had that shitty look on his face that he had the night before. He was not impressed at all with the situation. After a few minutes, Amleth stood up from his seat and started to talk into the mic. "Thank you everyone for coming on such short notice. I realize that it's early and that a lot of you are still tired, so hopefully we can make this quick. As you all know there is a war basically knocking at our door. We have just gathered intel as of late last night that our town has been scouted out by what we think of as the enemy. Now we don't know exactly what is happening yet, but we don't want to take any chances. In response we area going to ask a few of the more experienced hunters to keep watch day in and day out around the perimeter of the town." The crowd started to rumble a bit to Amleth's words. Murmurs could be heard and people were starting to freak out a bit.

Isara looked over at Welkins with a worried expression. "What do you think is going to happen?" She said gently trying not to let her voice shake. Isara was a tough person, but even the thought of having to go to war raddled her too. Welkins didn't answer and just looked up at Amleth, waiting to hear what he had to say next. Amleth didn't say anything though. He just sat down and Kalona got up to speak. "Now I know this is alarming to a few of you, but you must rest ashure that this could be nothing. We don't want to take the risk and as Amleth was saying we need to keep a tighter guard. We will be going to the more experienced hunters for this so those of you still in class can count yourselves out on this one. We don't have anything against you, it's just that we want the higher ups to deal with this. With that in mind you all still need to keep up your marks and do well. That is all."

Kalona had a powerful voice when talking. It was rare to hear anyone talk over him. He was the first to leave though followed closlly by Amleth. Felix stayed for a bit only to look at Welkins and scowl at him. Welkins paid this no mind, like always, and started to leave the theater. Isara left too, but in a differen't direction. As he started to walk out, he caught sight of Reia sitting in the back. As seirous as everything was, seeing her face made him smile. He ran over to her as quickly as he could then stopped. "Hi." He said to her, smiling gently.
