Tamers (Started/Accepting Via OOC)

[Jake the Sage]

Though a bit annoyed with John's loud yell Adrian was none the less happy that Deana was ready to eat, she had questioned what kinds of food tehy had, and then lead them to the grand dinning room. While they walked it appeared as if Adrian was begining to get nervious, his hands going into his pockets and then being pulled back out at least five times. Finally reaching a big door Adrian looked back at John, Deana, Irenia and Ave, "I do suppose you know proper edicute."

 

"Of course we do," John blatantly lied, wanting to eat more than his desire to give a good impression. Nodding Adrian took a deep breath and opened the doors to a massive dinning room with a high ceiling. At least three magnificient chandelliars hanged gtom the rafters and along the middle of the room ran a table that could easily sit thirty people with room to spare. Stepping into the room Deana and John were rushed by servants asking if they needed anything, only for Adrian to wave them off to get the dinner ready. Not skipping a beat he walked towards a well dressed gentleman and gorgeous lady, who wore a few pieces of jewelery, and gave the most curtious bow, "Mother, Father, these are my guests for the evening."

 

"Hmmm," Adrian's father merely remarked looking down at Deana and John, his eyes wandering over their faces and clothing. This man looked like he never went a day without money and his wife appeared to be one of those pampred people as well. Finally finished with his 'examination' of his son's guests the man sat down and set one leg over the other, "So where are you from children?"

[DeathSDelano]

"Hmm Train tracks. Whatever keep moving east Kikiania" Delano said than kikiania continued running looking for some dinner or something. "Hopefully we do get to hunt even dragon meat would be good right about now" Delano said hanging on firmly to Kikiania. As the wind blew at Delano's face he closed his eyes for a few seconds than opened them again looking around for anything that maybe something that can eat

[Andx]

Crystal didn't seem to be able to attack anymore and as a Yowie was coming in it was struck by lightning of all things. Upon looking for the source of the voice and the spell, Evelyn spotted Yaming. She didn't look to be in all that great of a condition, but she was still helping.

"Come on! Let's get moving while we can!" Evelyn called out to Crystal. She was sure Crystal, who was out of arrows, ran before her. Flamme was flying just over Evelyn's head.

"Let's see if we can't make this opening last a little longer. Torrent!" Evelyn called out facing the group of Yowie. As when she first cast it, a large sphere of water formed in front of her, and then it thinned out into a disc about five feet in diameter. The disc flew off at the Yowie pack at high speeds. Evelyn began running towards Yaming. She didn't want to look back and see what her spell had did as she needed to keep running.

"Yaming! Get back inside! They'll only come after us!" she called out as she continued running.

[encapturer]

As Adrian's parents looked over the group, Daena felt very self-conscious. She felt very underdressed, obviously looking like she was ready for a battle with her two bows hanging on her person. She gave an aside glance to Josh, who looked about as presentable as she was. She only hoped that they wouldn't ask any tough questions, like about their weapons, or where they came from...

 

"So where are you from children?" the father asked after looking them over.

 

...Damn, Daena thought to herself. Although she was now sweating from the pressure, she looked up to the father and answered his question.

 

"I don't know where Josh here is from, but I'm from the United States. I actually went to Delta Tech University and...." Daena paused for a moment before continuing, "and I believe you have no idea what I'm talking about right now..." she said, with a worried look on her face.

[Jake the Sage]

". . . And . . . I believe you have no idea what I'm talking about right nowm" Deana said with a worried look on her face. Adrian's father, the lord of the house, looked as puzzled as anyone who didn't know what she was talking about, and after an awkward paused gave a cough. Standing up from her seat the mises got up and trotted, her heels clacking on the stone floor, and bent over to smile at Deana, "Well we can figure that out latter I suppose. Are you hungry?"

 

"I'm famished," John said walking towards the table and setting a hand on it, only to have Jericho shove him back. A hiss from Ave caused the tension in the room to rise pretty quickly as the lord and lady gave each other a glance and then back to their guests. John hadn't fallen, having regained his balance beforehand, and looked up at Jericho, "What was that for?"

 

"You did not ask to be seated," Adrian explained and then turned to Deana. With his hand over his waist Adrian gave a low bow and spoke, "Miss Deana, Miss Irenia would you like a seat?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Kiki and Delano continued to travel by the tracks over the grassland planes, never seeming to find anything that would suffice as a meal. It seemed as if the only thing they were ever going to encounter in this land was a train and grass.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

"I'm not leaving you two if those things are after you!" Yaming yelled as she attempted to chase after them. Her left leg seemingly dragged behind her as Evelyn's spell exploded around the Yowie, but through gthe smoke teh figures of the Yowie still coming was apparant. Looking over her shoulders, since Evelyn wouldn't, Crystal was that her friend's spell had only taken out at most three Yowie; and not out-for-the-count out. Skidding on her heels Crystal truned around in a complete circle and sprinted for Yaming. Unseathing a dagger that no one had ever noticed her carrying she reached Yaming and lifted her up off the ground; a Yowie leaping above them as she did.

 

"Uh-uh-uh," someone said as a large tail wrapped around the Yowie and slung it back towards it's kin. Stepping out from behind one of the cottages a large white dragon, though still a young one, appeared with three people standing on it; well two people and a goblin if you want to get techniqual. Grinning the man lifted a sword, it's blade catching fire, and vanished; the sword floating in midair before dashing through the crowd of Yowie. Stunned by the sudden arrival of help Crystal, Yaming, Evelyn and Flamme watched as the two other members of the new group ran towards them; a beautiful young woman and a goblin. The goblin leaped up and down, pointing to the outside of town, "Woman children need to flee to there! Flee!"

[DeathSDelano]

"What is this a wasteland" Delano said looking around at the scenery. "I guess we could act like bandits and steal from the train" Delano said as Kikiania looked at him like she really wanted to. "Ok than we rob the train if it has cargo and no passengers though we can just unhitch the supplies than make a run for it with the goods" Delano said the Kikiania. "Ok get within range so you can jump onto the train so we can hijack it. If we have to fight than just knock them out we don't need any non-evil folks to get hurt badly" Delano said to Kikiania who got into position

[encapturer]

"Sure, thank you."

 

Daena took her seat and Irenia landed on the table, sitting with her legs crossed. The weapons had to come off to even begin to sit comfortably, so Daena placed them at her feet. Irenia could barely contain her excitement, but kept still. Daena on the other hand was still nervous for some reason, like she was when she was interviewed for her internship.

 

After she was settled in, her eyes wandered around the room a bit before landing on Josh. She figured that he was frustrated due to the constant neglect and abuse he was taking. She felt the need to speak up, especially since it seemed like it was partly her fault.

 

"Come on, Josh, we're about to get a meal finally! It's not like they won't let you eat, right?" She still wasn't sure what to say without sounding condescending, since she was actually sitting down right now, but hoped her words would make him feel even a little better.

[Andx]

Out of no where it seemed help had come to the group. It seemed they were there to help anyway. Either way, Evelyn wasn't going to worry about it as she had a large group of monsters to escape from. As Evelyn looked back she noticed that Yaming didn't seem to be in any shape to keep up with them. Evelyn would have preferred to have Yaming stay inside but it didn't seem like there was any persuading her to leave.

"Crystal, Flamme! Keep going! I'm going to help Yaming!" She called out.

"No way! I won't fly any faster than you're able to move!" Flamme said back to her. Evelyn was actually very happy to be able to hear Flamme again. She wasn't going to argue with him as time was very critical at the moment.

Evelyn ran back to her and got on her left side as Yaming's left leg seemed to be in worse shape. She put Yaming's left arm over her shoulders and began to help her move while Flamme hovered a few feet over head.

"If you're that intent on coming with us, it'd be rude of us to just ignore you and tell you stay put. Let's see if we can't get going a bit faster. You just tell me when you can't move anymore and I'll carry you if I have to." Evelyn said.

[Jake the Sage]

"Well I hope they will," John said with a bit of a smirk, though he honestly was annoyed by beind ignored. Looking over to Jericho he raised an eyebrow, knowing as a servant he'd have to help the guest, and once the man begrugingly bowed and moved a seat for him John sat down; now more than ever ready to eat. Sitting down Adrian looked to his parents, who gave a clap to signal the servants to being brining in the first coarse, and both Deana and John were amazed by the spread; soups and breads of all different sorts and flavors. Having a platlet of bread sat in front of Irenia Adrian's mother leaned in and gave a warm smile, "What a cute fiary. How long have you had her?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Running beside the train as it clacked down the track Delano was able to see a bit into the cabins he was near; passangers. Cursing his bad luck some of the people would look outside the cabin and point at them, not being able to hear Delano could guess that they were alerting someone, and then what would he do?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

"If you're that intent on coming with us, it'd be rude of us to just ignore you and tell you stay put. Let's see if we can't get going a bit faster. You just tell me when you can't move anymore and I'll carry you if I have to." Evelyn said as She put Yaming's left arm over her shoulders and began to help her move while Flamme hovered a few feet over head. Letting out a small laugh, Crystal lifting up her other shoulder, "I'll keep going as long as . . . . uh . . . you two can."

 

With the man, now somehow turned invisible, and his ice dragon attacking the Yowie Evelyn and her friends were able to far without any problem. As they began to head for the outskirts of the town they watched as the two other members of the new group ran towards them; a beautiful young woman and a goblin. The goblin leaped up and down, pointing to the outside of town, "Woman children need to flee to there! Flee!"

 

"That was tha plan . . . whatever you are," Crystal sharply replied to Eithal as she grunted to lift Yaming's shoulder back up again.

[Andx]

As they ran, or tried to as best they could while supporting Yaming, a woman and a goblin, two of their rescuers, ran up. The goblin began pointing at the outside of town and told them to flee to it.

"How does just leaving town make us any safer? Whatever, it beats just staying put." Evelyn said, trying to get a conversation going with Flamme.

"Well we are in a nation that's full of magic. Maybe the monsters of the area have something magical about them too." Flamme said. It made enough sense though somehow Evelyn doubted the idea that all creatures in Nomen were magical.

"What like boundaries they can't cross?" Evelyn asked.

"How would I know?! You're the one that asked!" Flamme said. With that Evelyn dropped the idea and just focused on getting to the edge of town.

"Say Crystal, you wouldn't know anything about our rescuers would you?" Evelyn asked as they continued to move.

[Jake the Sage]

Crystal shook her head as the dragon behind them gave a loud roar, making her ears ring and they continued out of their way. A sudden burst of cold flames over their shoudlers caused them to turn, they could see the Yowie encirceling the beast, and a few breaking away from the pack to chase after them; seems even with a juvenille dragon they were still hell bent on getting them. Bounding over buildings and other obsticles a sudden flash of light and they were knocked back, a sword floating in midair as the man appeared in front of them. Turning to face them he gave a nod, more to the woman and the goblin, before returning to stall.

 

With that close call behind them Evelyn, Flamme, Yaming and Crystal were able to make it out of the town without anymore trouble. Collapsing out of pure exhaustion they didn't bother to look if the Yowie were after them or if they were truly safe. Sitting down Yaming held her side, "So . . . who do I thank first?"

 

"Thank Eithal woman child!" the goblin said with a grin, the girl who had accompanied him giving Evelyn and Crystal a warm, however tired, smile.

[DeathSDelano]

"Passengers uh. Kikiania jump on to the train. We are taking a ride" Delano saided to Kikiania who continued running after the train. Within minutes of the commend she spring up into the air onto the train grabbing hold of it with her claws. "Alright now move to the front of the train." Delano said to Kikiania who used her claws to walk on the top of the train leaving small puncture holes where she held on for a short period of time as she walked to the front of the moving train.

[encapturer]

"We've been together for about a year now," Daena said, recalling when she started playing Tamers. She originally approached Irenia like an programmer would an interesting AI, and treated her as such. While the two put that past behind them by now, Daena kept quiet, not wanting to remember that.

 

Knowing this fact, Irenia spoke up. After all, Adrian's mother just complemented her, and she already liked her better than her son. "We've been in many adventures together! We work great together, you know!" Irenia said with a large smile on her face.

[Jake the Sage]

"Oh really?" Adrian's father said with a bit of sceptasism in his voice, an eyebrow raising, and then leaned back in his seat; his hands bringing what looked like a slice of fish to his mouth. Biting down he chewed it thoroughly before swallowing, his mind still thinking the best way to ask his next question, but he need not to as his wife did for him. With another pleasant smile she asked, "So you've been in fights I take it. That is not very lady like for someone your age my dear."

 

"Well it is actually quite common where we're from ma'am," John said placing down a piece of half eaten bread, feeling that he should help Deana through the bout of twenty questions she was getting from the noble family; Adrian seemingly not willing to raise his voice to his parents. Once John had said his peace the father looked at him and then began cutting into another piece of fish-meat; his wife looking a bit stunned at the 'commoninity' of such practices. Taking a swig of wine Adrian's father then looked up at Deana, a bit of a scowl on his face, "A young lass like you has no place in a fight, for good or ill, you should really be doing other things with your time."

 

"Well dear she is still young. You remember how I was at her age," the misses said giving Deana a quick glance, knowing that what her husband had said most likely offended their guest, and her husband muttered under his breath; he knew full well she was a wild child back then and still had a knack for it even now. Telling a servant to quickly bring out the final coarse the misses then readdressed Deana, "But my husband is right, you shouldn't be putting yourself in danger. Instead you should be looking for a husband to marry child. Unless . . ."

 

The mistress gave a warm, sly smile before eying John as he drank; his own motions stopping once he felt her eyes on him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

By the time Delano and Kiki reached the first cabin the passangers had caused such a ruckas that the guards aboard were waiting for him once he came down. Looking at him, a not too happy engineer behind them, they quickly grabbed his feet before pulling him in. Shoving him against the wall they made sure he wasn't able to grab for any weapons nor that his beast could launch an attack; the possessed armored creatures ensuring of that.

[DeathSDelano]

Laughing in an evil tone "You thing this will stop me. DO ya Kikiania take out his little puppies" Delano commanded as he used he grabbed the engineer by his shirt than sweeped his left foot under the engineer forcing him to the floor on his back. When the engineer hit the floor Delano Yelled " Kikiania toss me my lance". "Sir I don't want to bring harm to anyone on this train so i suggest you calm down. This does not have to result in bloodshed." Delano said to the engineer still holding onto to his shirt.

At the same time Kikiania was fighting the armored beast knowing they had tough armored she smashed them with her tail than bashed them with her claws to send them into the walls. When Delano yelled for his lance using one of her head's she grabbed the lance and tossed it to Delano before the Engineer could get up.

Pionting the lance at the engineer's throat Delano said "We only seek transportation and we are far from a town or village. I shall pay the fee when we arrive at the destination."

Kikiania still fighting the armored beast

[encapturer]

"Marriage?" Daena said, raising an eyebrow. "Haha, I haven't really had a boyfriend since my first year in college; probably since I spent so much time around computers. I guess I was just way too serious about school back then." Irenia shook her head as she ate, wondering if Daena was just acting oblivious or if she really couldn't see what Adrian's mother was clearly asking.

 

After finishing the drink in her cup, Daena continued speaking. "Well, it's not like I fight all the time..." She trailed off, recalling that combat is the cornerstone mechanic in almost every MMO. "It's... complicated. And part of the reason why we ended up here, actually." Daena was shaking now, though it was barely noticeable. She should have noticed this sooner. Only telling people in this world what happened in Tamers would end up like this. Players basically killed monsters all day, training themselves, and fighting each other. It would of course seem very bizarre if that was what all she did. Of course, Daena would prefer if the others did not inquire about what happened, but she was prepared to tell them if they pushed the subject. She just feared what would happen afterward.

[Andx]

The group had made it outside of the city limits and if they were still being chased, they were too tired to care. After making sure Yaming had managed to sit down, Evelyn near collapsed on the spot. She took a seat to catch her breath, Flamme landed next to her on her right. Yaming had asked who she might thank first and the goblin said to thank Eithal. Evelyn guessed that must have been his name or at least he wasn't motioning to the woman when he said to thank Eithal. She had to wonder who exactly the woman was. Standing up, Evelyn moved to properly thank their rescuers.

"Thank you very much for the help. I doubt we'd still be around if you hadn't helped us. Allow me to introduce myself and the group. My name is Evelyn and going around we have Crystal, Yaming, and my partner Flamme." Evelyn said motioning to each member of the group as she gave their names.

"So would either of you know what exactly was going on in town?" Evelyn asked.

[Jake the Sage]

The mistress listened to Deana talk and once she brought up the topic of how she got here, her husband gave an ear. Hearing cut off in midsentance prompted the man to address the situation, having noticed a while before that she was shaking when the topic was brought up, but did not really care, "So I suppose you were fighting and that apparently lead to you two being here, yes?"

 

Bulls-eye! Somehow the man knew enough about the human condition that he was able to spot when someone was remembering something they'd rather not talk about and, from the conversations easriler, he could only surmise that it was about fighting. Motioning his servants the man leaned back in his chair and gave a loud exhale, prompting John to act, "Well it wasn't like we were doing it for fun or anything. The winner would recieve-"

 

"So it was an organized thing?" the mistress interrupted as Jericho stood up, his full heighth making him look more intimedating than he had ever been, and trotted over to stand behind John; the young man starting to feel uneasy. Sitting up Adrian's mother looked over to her son and gave a sigh, "Adrian honey you know how your father feels about Bellicosian fighters, even if they are adorible children like these two."

 

"But mother!" Adrian said standing up, only to be told to sit down by his father's harsh cutting voice. The man looked to Deana and John, his eyes examining them more harshly than they had done before, and spoke, "My son has already offered our aid to you two Bellicosians. And as a Noble Man of Nomen I cannot take back that offer. You may stay and recieve any aid my house can accumulate, but if your customs get out of hand . . ."

 

Not finishing his sentance the father stood up and left the table, an air of disappointment and uneasiness filling the void.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

"Eithal knows! Eithal knows everything!" the goblin said taking Evelyn's hands and jumping up and down, only to have the girl force him to stop, "Eithal you said those purple mushrooms were eatable also . . ."

 

"How was Eithal to know woman child, man child, and big lizard would get unhappy stomachs?" the goblin said looking up at the young woman. She held out her hand and shook the others, "My name is Matsue and this if you haven't guested is Eithal."

 

"So are you two partners or something?" Crystal said not realizing that she was most likely talking to someone not from her world. However despite the mess up it appeared as if Matsue knew what she was talking about and shook her head, patting Eithal on the head, "No Eithal and I are only commrades. Rift and Iceis on the other hand are partners."

 

Matsue looked over her shoulder to the village and, once the others turned, they got quite a scare when they saw the ice dragon charging towards them; the Yowie behind them giving chase. Not able to get up or move in time, they felt the dragon's scales bump under them as they were scooped onto her back and the harsh gust of wind hit their face. Looking down Crystal screamed at the top of her lungs as the ground beneath them shrunk while they gained alttitude and she backed away from the "edge", "What the hell is going on!?"

 

"We're flying if you couldn't already tell," the man, Rift as Matsue had called him, stated over his shoulder to her; a sarcastic comment that made her scoff at him. Looking over his shoulder he counted the people, four girls, a very small wyvern, one crazy goblin, himself and Iceis; afterwards he turned back around, "You four should've known that killing a Yowie leader would've pissed the others off. So it's all your fault for staying anywhere near that town . . ."

 

"Agreed," Iceis called out as her massive wings beated, making those riding on her to raise off her back for a breif moment, much to Crystal's displeasure, "And now will someone tell the midget to get off my nose?"

 

Looking up front Evelyn could see Flamme holding onto the dragon's nose.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

"We only seek transportation and we are far from a town or village. I shall pay the fee when we arrive at the destination," Delano said as he held the pointed end of his lance to the engineer's throat, the sound of Kiki still fighting the armored beast in the background. The sound of something buzzing made him lift his head as a magical blast knocked him off of the man and almost out of the train cart. Another blast pinned him to the outer wall as the armored beast locked almost all of Kiki's heads, a magical blast putting her to sleep, "If that was so then you shouldn't of attacked anybody boy."

 

Stepping out of the cabin behind them a man in black robes, with red tinges, walked towards Delano. He held his hands out and, with a twist of his hand, Delano could feel his shirt tightening around him until he was pulled into midair so he travelled with the train, "So are you going to be calm? If so I'll let you back in the cabin."

 

"Sir Irwin your tea is getting cold," a woman called from the cabin to the person keeping Delano from falling out of the speeding train, "In a minute Seline . . ."

[DeathSDelano]

"A wizard i see. I meant no hurt, but I was defending myself the engineer attacked me first without trying to talk or asking why i just on the train the way i did. If he wouldn't have attacked me and Kikiania as we were coming to the conductor than no one would be hurt" Delano said hanging in midair "you can put me down anytime now. I mean i don't mind hanging, and release your magic off Kikiania." Delano said just floating in midair like it didn't even faze him.

[Jake the Sage]

Sir Irwin gave a grin, the boy was probably putting up a front, after all one doesn't just hang in midair out of a train any ol' moment of the week nor day. Sighing as the woman in the cabin called to him again he flicked Delano back in, but grabbed up his lance before he ever reached inside, and placed it over his shoulders, "I don't really care if you attacked first or if you were attacked- I ain't gonna let a fight break out again. So I'll be holding onto this for the rest of the train ride. As for your partner over there . . ."

 

He turned around before stepping back into the cabin and looked down at the sleeping creature, "I think it'd be best for her to stay asleep as well. If anything happens I'll wake her up."

[encapturer]

Dammit, John, Daena thought to herself, but a part of her was happy he spoke up so that she didn't have to deal with the father's overbearing presence any longer. Irenia seemed visibly relieved as well, no longer sitting on edge. The fact that Adrian started acting distressed like a child would was a bit unnerving considering his previous behavior, and for some reason Daena could not stand the child being in that state.

 

"I'm so sorry... we didn't mean to cause trouble for you like this," Daena managed to say to Adrian. "It's just... hard to hold a double blind conversation. I guess I should have told him more information about our circumstances, but now he thinks we're 'Bellicosians'... whoever they are..."

 

While she attempted to comfort Adrian, Daena's mind began processing the information she learned... which wasn't much. She knew that Adrian Family were of Nomen, but whether that is a country or bloodline or something else all together she didn't know. Then there are Bellicosians... who like to fight apparently. And that Adrian's father doesn't like Bellicosians. Since he thinks that John and herself are Bellicosians, he doesn't like them.

 

...Daena was beginning to hate Bellicosians a bit as well.

[DeathSDelano]

"Fine hold on to my lance" Delano said than got his shield from Kikiania's back "I can fight with just this if i need to" than Delano put it on his back. "And just Kikiania she'll just be unhappy if she finds out that a wizard made her sleep for the whole train ride" Delano said standing next to his sleeping partner. "If there is an accident or something you better give back my lance. I don't want the passengers to be injured do to my uselessness" Delano said with a serious expression in his eyes as if ready to kill someone.

[Andx]

Out of no where they had been scooped up into the sky on the back of a dragon. Crystal began screaming as they began to climb whereas only the suddenness of it had taken Evelyn by surprise. She was use to flying on Flamme, and had been missing being able to do it as of late. At the dragon's request Evelyn got Flamme off her nose. Flamme had been ready to try and hurt Iceis for the midget comment but Evelyn wasn't going to let that happen so she held her partner close to herself to prevent him from acting up. Rift had explained a few things. Namely that the strange behavior in the Yowie was because their leader had been killed.

 

"When did we kill the leader? I don't recall killing any of the Yowies themselves. ...The one thing we killed wasn't a Yowie to be certain." Evelyn said. At remembering Sewati at the end she had managed to get herself down.

"But more importantly, how far away from town do we have to go before we get out of the Yowie's territory? I don't intend to take more of your kindness and time than I have to and I still need to track down a skilled mage to get Flamme back to normal." Evelyn said.

[Jake the Sage]

"A mage hu?" Rift said without looking over his shoudlers and then gave a 'tch' noise, "Well we are in Nomen so finding a mage wont be too much of a problem."

 

"But someone knowledgable enough to break another mages spell will be another thing," Matsue interjected as she reminded her friend, confusing Crystal and Evelyn as they continued to talk. Rift and Matsue were talking about all the things that another mage would require and might need to break a spell and eventually Crystal had had enough, "Excuse me but how do you know all of this?"

 

"Ah well," Matsue said meekly looking down and tracing circles on Iceis' back, Eithal watching from behind her. Standing up Rift patted Iceis on her head and walked into the semicircle before sitting down, removing his hood, "Well, for starters, Crystal like you and Evelyn I am from the real world."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

"You wont be useless," Sir Irwin said stepping into the cabin with Delano following, not truly wanting to leave Kiki alone in the engineers section, and the mage continued, "I assure you that your attitude would scare most people away."

 

Sitting down Sir Irwin waved his hand over Delano's lance and, in a few seconds, it had shrunk to the size of a pencil. Taking hold of it he shoved it into his pocket before sitting next to a very beautiful lady, who passed over some green tea, and then addressed Delano, "Would you join us?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

"Bellicosians aren't bad people Deana," Adrian said regaining his composure as his mother listened on, "They are a the people of Bellicos who live at the other end of the continent. They enjoy more physical sports and the like, such as fighting, so they have gotten a bad name in other countries."

 

"Hu . . . sounds like they can't be all that bad," John said putting down his fork and looking at Adrian. Neither had anything to say so the mistress decided to add in, "No in all they are not, but the leaders of Bellicos have started coming under some political fire ever since their heri disappeared. So its rumored they are stocking their military."

 

"Ma'am should we truly be talking about this short of thing to Bellicosians?" Jericho said with a hint of disapproval, despite it not being his position to say what she could say or not, and the mistress looked at him with a bit of a cold glare; making even Irenia shiver. John stood up and decided to speak his mind, "Jericho we aren't Bellicosians or of any other natio-"

 

"But you do fight, do you not?" the guard interrupted with a venomous tone, and even Ave hissed back, and John glared at the man, "Only if we need to. We do not fight because we love to or anything, only to ensure we can defend ourselves, got it!?"

 

A sudden clapping from his left made John and Deana look over to see Adrian's father walking back into the room, his cloths having changed from a nobleman's attire to something more . . . front line ready. A small gleam in his eyes the man placed his hand on the hilt of a sword, "That is the spirit young man, Bellicosian or not you have a strong fortitude. So why not we test it, hmmm? You as well young lass. Adrian?"

 

"Yes father," Adrian said standing up and giving a small bow. John and Deana didn't quite get what was going on, but they could be sure that they were about to have to get into a little fight . . .

[Andx]

Matsue and Rift began talking about mages and what it might take for someone to remove a spell put in place by someone else. It seemed very odd considering Rift was clearly not a mage himself and Matsue didn't look the part much either. Eventually Crystal questioned their knowledge and Rift said that he was from the real world. Evelyn was excited to know someone else from the real world was here but she also sort of freaked out a bit as she hadn't said anything about that to Yaming and didn't know if she should. Regardless, it didn't seem Rift was all that worried about telling people from this world about their world.

"Then you must have been at the tournament if you're here now. I thought I did recall seeing a strange mist covering part of the field, that would have been your dragon then. So did you tell these two you're traveling with about our world?" Evelyn said.
