Heh, this sounds a lot like the plot from when Grimoire heart attacked Fairy Tail. Must bring back memories for Gajeel. :P

Bio
I have been actively roleplaying for around 18 years now, since age 15. Which, as you might have guessed, makes me 33. I've done most of my rping on forums, averaging 2 to 4 paragraphs. Though I also LARP, and have played D&D for about 17 years. Real life has become a larger part of my life though, so my activity has lessened. Even so, I don't think I'll ever stop rping. :)

okay. :) Welcome back!
Taunie's story was quite a sad one. But not something unheard of either. He had heard stories of parents being a bit afraid of their children hurting themselves if they showed aptitude in magic. Not that his life was perfect. As a 17 year old teen, suddenly his father had just disappeared. The dragon he had relied on most of his life was suddenly nowhere to be found. Ansel might have been used to living away from civilisation, but only with his father to watch over him. It wasn't as bad as being the cause of the death of a sibling though.
For the rest of the ride was spent in silence. Though it only took a few more minutes to get to their destination. After that they walked through the forest for what seemed like several hours at least. To the point where Ansel was actually lost, and would have a hard time finding his way back.
However then their target came into view. A small log cabin and a camp site. The man followed Taunie's example and hid in the bushes with her. Then came a quick explanation of what the plan was. It sounded simple enough, if nothing went wrong. But in his experience, there was always a high chance of something going wrong with plans like these. "Sounds a bit boring, but I don't feel up to fighting them head on just yet. Give me a moment though...a wall that big requires a little preparation.
Ansel placed his hands on the ground and started to concentrate. All dragon slayers had some kind of special skill unique to their element. And for him that was the ability to sense the ground in a certain area. Where hard or soft rock was, if there were tunnels, things like that. Galzra was even able to sense any movement on the surface, but Ansel hadn't gotten that far yet. After about 10 seconds he looked up and nodded. "Okay, ready." He spoke, turning his gaze to Valier a moment later. "You can do it buddy. I'll be right over if need be." He reassured his feline friend, whom gave a nod in return. "Of course. Something like this is a simple task." Valier replied, before focusing on the camp site. Then a little bit later, when the least amount of people were outside and the ones that were weren't paying attention, the cat summoned his wings and flew towards the stands with scrolls on them as fast as he could.

I'll try posting tomorrow. Thank you for your patience! :)
I've caught the flu apparently, so my post is taking a little longer. Sorry.
Phew, big post... I had to get some plot relevant stuff in there so the post turned out larger than I expected. ^^;;

Luckily it seemed Oliver was quite adept at calming the angry woman down. Or at least calm enough to be reasoned with. The woman held up a broken top of a small bottle with the cork still in it. The anger was still quite clear on her face but it wasn't as bad as before. Probably because there was now the chance that she'd indeed get a replacement. "A healing potion. That's one gold and twenty-five silver! Judging by your armour and her staff you surely have the money to replace that." Sanguine frowned. A simple healing potion? That was it? That was what she was so angry about? The vampiress always had a hundred or two of those with her since Oliver's holy healing magic only hurt her. "A healing potion? I have one on me right now." She spoke, reaching into her bag of holding.
Out came a glass bottle crafted and formed so perfectly it almost looked like crystal. A fairly transparent red liquid was inside. The transparency of the liquid determined how strong it was. This one was a level one potion healing about 20 hp, similar to a cure moderate wounds. But she hadn't specified what kind of healing potion so Sanguine went with the lowest grade she had at the time. "Here, this should cover it." She spoke, handing it over. The woman stared at it for a few moments before looking at the two. "For now...but I'm going to have this appraised first. Otherwise I'll find you again." To Sanguine this meant something important. These potions were apparently close to what they had here. And a potion of this grade was apparently worth around 1 gold and 25 silver. Or maybe a grade below it or something.
"Sure sure...now if you'll excuse us, we're busy." Sanguine spoke with a sigh. This whole ordeal felt like a waste of time. Hopefully there wouldn't be more days like this in the adventurers guild. "So, time to pick a quest." Sanguine spoke, heading for the notice board once more. However as soon as she arrived there was a problem. Every single one of the notices was in a kind of writing she had never seen before. This was something she hadn't accounted for. She turned to Oliver and whispered a little nervously. "Well, this is a problem...I don't want to let on that we can't read this..."
It took her a bit longer before she decided to...just do something. Standing there for ages would probably look weird too. So the vampiress grabbed a random one from the board and turned around to head back to the guild master. Surely she could get some more information out of him.
"Caddoc, I'd like to know more about this quest." She spoke once arriving there. "Hm? Lass, ye cannae take tha' one. It be fer silv'r plates an' up onleh." Sanguine frowned slightly, quickly thinking of where to go from here. "I know... It's just, we may have copper plates now, but our abilities are far above that. I'm a-" Sanguine thought quickly. What lever of caster would be good in this world, but not too amazing? "-A third level caster, and my friend here is a warrior with some holy affinity of similar level." Describing the two of them as such felt like she was hugely underplaying their power, even for this world. But the gasps and turned heads that came from around the room quickly pushed that feeling away. Apparently a third level caster and warrior was quite amazing. Caddoc looked up in surprise as if studying the two more closely. Then a moment later he sighed and shook his head. "That may be true...but we're a proper organisation. Everyone has to follow the rules. Though if your achievements match what you just said you'll rise up to silver or even higher in a matter of weeks, depending on how many jobs you take." Sanguine gave a fake sigh, as if she sounded highly disappointed. Though in truth she was delighted that she had managed to avert the situation of them not being able to read in this country's alphabet. "Very well, then give us the most difficult copper plate quest you have." Caddoc nodded, looking a bit glas as well since the couple hadn't started trouble over having to do copper ranked quests. "I think I still 'ave a few tha' need reviewin' fer rankin's. I'll go check fer ya."

"I'd rather not..." Alakai muttered at Kali's suggestion. Even now he still got a bit nervous and distracted whenever she sat behind him. And they had already been travelling together for over a week. Plus, for some reason he didn't like the idea of someone else riding with him. Like that spot was owned by Kali or something. Joan had decided to ride beside them though, and decided to try and make conversation. "Well...I'm sure a few others have it. It came with the game's limited edition." He answered. "And we're not really that much higher..." He added, feeling like the praise was undeserved. Clearly he and the two girls had been putting a lot of time into levelling as well, since they were pretty high. Alakai and Kali just had the advantage of Alakai having the early levels until at least 50 already planned out with spots and quests that gave the best exp per hour.
Alakai smiled when the subject changed to exploring. He definitely agreed to that. "I'm the same. I always wondered what it was like to travel lands like these. With all the fantastical things you could encounter, and all the beautiful landscapes you could see. I want to see the elven forests in the west, and meet the beast-kin in the north-west, which require level 50. And if the box art is accurate, the floating islands above the isle of Kalis to the south-east will be amazing. Those isles require level 75 though. But we as players are stuck in these hills and the nearby coast. So yea...I want to level up fast."
