Order From Chaos. (Want Magic? Demons? Werewolves? We got it here and more!)

Though he hid it well, Joshua was surprised by the skeleton's remark. Had he been that predictable? More importantly how did this skeleton know about his plan and the Distorted Skull. Narrowing his eyes at the skeleton he moved closer to him.

"You are a remarkable ma- thing Sans. As much as it pains me to say it I need the help of other mages as I have other things to attend to. How would you like to collect that skull from the Vampire's so called king for me? I will pay you quite handsomely. In fact, why the hell am I keeping this quite?!"

Standing up he turned to the bar his voice filling the room. The disguise he had placed on himself to hide his magic from the inhabits lifted people would know it was him and if they did not know him by name they could tell by the way his magical aura saturated the air that he meant business.

"Listen here and listen closely I have a job that requires a certain degree of finesse and strength. It pays well and it offers not only riches but power as well." Joshua paused for dramatic effect then continued. "You may not know who I am as the Order has done a damn good job of hiding my crimes and more importantly my escape. My name is Joshua. I am one of only a few sorcerers that wander this earth. I can manipulate almost every aspect of world that we live in. Now back to the job I offer. I want you to collect for me the Eldritch artifact called the Distorted Skull. It's currently in the possession of Vlad the Vampire king of the uh. Vampires. I want it and I will pay in knowledge and money for it's retrieval."

Joshua began to make his way towards the door, it would not be long before the Order caught on that he was here. The bar staff were already calling in his appearance. "I will leave it at that however if anyone want to know more simply raise your hand and I shall mark you with a sigil that will tell you where I am currently staying. I bid you farewell." Joshua had his hand on the door and was about to leave...

Joshua turned to the man who addressed him. He was drinking what looked like ketchup not the strangest liquid he had seen someone consuming but none the less this man definitely wasn't ordinary. Though as he thought about it neither was Joshua but he would not lump himself in with this lowly skeleton mage.

"Well that depends on the man." He paused for dramatic effect. "And his sins. Though I suppose every man is inherently good. Some of them do bad things for the sake of the outcome being something good."

Joshua's eyes scanned the skeleton, he couldn't really be called a man but from his voice he was obviously male. Joshua could see the magic bounding the man's soul to his body. Necromancy magic and a powerful one at that, but with a bit of time Joshua could learn how to do it to other or undo it to this skeleton. He smiled inwardly looking around at the other patrons. They were a mix of mages and magical beings he would wait for the right kind of people to enter the bar before he proposed his little quest. For now he would humor this skeleton.

Joshua looked around the dark city of london, gazing with disgust at the mortals as they moved past him. They looked like zombies completing their mind numbingly pointless task with no complaint or deviation from their allotted task. Pathetic. Slipping into a side alley he combed through his mind trying to remember the location of the Abandoned bar. While he had stopped four humans had appeared in front and behind him two armed with pipes, one with a baseball bat and the other with a switchblade knife. The one with the knife smiled and spoke to him in a heavy cockney accent.

"Looks like a little fish fell into this nest of sharks. Listen here mate hand over your money or else."

Joshua looked at him blankly. "Or else what?!"

"I'll stick you with this knife and take your stuff from your dead body."

Joshua Shrugged "Unlikely. But I will humor scum like you for a moment." The Switchblade man stared at him dumbly not able to comprehend what Joshua had said. Sighing Joshua sliced the air in front of the man with the switchblade. Still looking at Joshua with the dumb expression it quickly changed to one of shock. Coughing up blood he looked down at his waist which was no longer attached to the the rest of his body. He had been cut cleanly in half and died. The other men screamed with rage and charged at Joshua.

Expanding his hands outwards a black sphere expanded from Joshua's position passing through the men and then contracted back inside Joshua. The men fell to the floor dead. Joshua always liked necromancy magic it was very strong but, relying on object was too much of a draw back for him. Dusting himself off he made his way to the bar. Entering he looked around the establishment. So far so good he had not been recognised. Walking up to the bar he sat down and ordered a Cider. Joshua was currently hiding his power from the others as a magical aura like his made him stand out.

Order From Chaos. (Want Magic? Demons? Werewolves? We got it here and more!)

5 Years ago

“We have a breach in the containment section!” Yelled the security guard “Get Tolfey down here immediately!” The head of security Tolfey burst through the double doors a face full of panic and fear.

“What’s happened?! How the hell did he wake up? He’s been in a medically induced coma for 125 years and he wakes up now? How?!” The security guard pointed at a man or what was left of him.

“What’s left of that fella right there is the reason Joshua escaped. He’s been working as night staff for about a year now. Than he suddenly comes down here to Joshua’s cell and blows himself up!” The security guard looked through the cleaners file handing it to Tolfey “Says in his file that he was an adept, he was able to control electricity. But this explosion was not electrical.”

Tolfey’s arm suddenly began burning looking at his wrist he saw a red symbol glowing fiercely. “Shit! He made it to the second level. Okay seal off this area, bring forensics in and find out why the hell this man exploded. I’ve got to deal with Joshua, he should still be weak from all the drugs we’ve been pumping into him.”

Tolfey took a shortcut to the area that he knew Joshua would have to pass through in order to escape. Just as he reached it Joshua was passing around the corner. The two now face to face. Joshua smiled at Tolfey.

“Ah Tolfey. Been a long time hasn’t it? I suppose you came to stop me? Well I don’t think you can, but you can try if you want to.”

Tolfey didn’t even wait for the man to finish tapping several symbols on his biceps and fists he was suddenly imbued with great strength and agility, his fists now aflame. He struck Joshua many times in the chest he dodged back as the symbols power wore off. Joshua staggered slightly looking at the seared mark on his chest, a grimace on his face. Chuckling the burns healed quickly.

“I told you that you could try. I guess, you failed. Don’t worry I’m not angry at being trapped down here. It really gave me time to think.” Tolfey who had been turned to face Joshua looked at him in the eyes voice full of determination he whispered

“You’re not right in the Head Joshua, we did what we had to do to maintain peace!”

Joshua laughed throwing the man at the wall opposite him. Joshua turned before he left through the door at the end of the corridor looking at Tolfey “You know, I have no idea why that man exploded outside my cell. I don’t appreciate the help of lesser mages. But i’ll let you figure that out, I have other things to do.” Leaving Tolfey a crumpled heap on the floor he looked in front of him and began moving his fingers in the air as if he was putting together a puzzle. After a short while the area began to glow with a dull purple vibe. Waving goodbye to Tolfey who was trying to get up he walked through the portal and left.

Phillip and Jennifer were quick to their friends side as he was lifted onto a stretcher. Tolfey explained that Joshua had escaped and was on the move. Phillip quietened his friend “We do not want to cause panic among our people Tolfey, we will try to deal with this as quietly as possible. If people knew that we, The Order let someone as powerful as Joshua free than they may doubt our strength.”

“Don’t worry Tolfey we’ll sort this out” Jennifer said.

Present Day

Joshua looked over the city of London, the home of The Order. It had been a year since he had escaped the Order. Yet he felt as weak as he had during that day. Whatever they had done to him had been a permanent thing or was taking a hell of a long time to wear off. He would need to find the Distorted Skull a powerful Eldritch Artifact. With it he could restore himself to his full strength. But the damn vampires had it, and they never did like sharing. No matter perhaps he could recruit some help from other mages who shared his vision of the future. If not he could always trick them into helping him. Adopting a trench-coat over himself he made his way to the Abandoned bar. Joshua was certain that even with the strength he had he could easily overpower anyone that tried to capture him.

@AdamantiumWolf Yep

@Lord Zee Accepted

@2b3heart Well i didn't really want dragons to be involved but I suppose I can let a few slip through. ya see in this universe and I probably should have said dragons were hunted to almost extinction by mages due to them not wanting to join Order or follow its rules. In fact there was a great mages who slayed dragon called George. Accepted
