The princess sure was confident in her decision to marry him er the Prince. Which is kinda why it would suck if the real Prince didn't marry her or wasn't anything like how he was acting, and there was no way that could happen. If that were to happen, then he would feel kinda bad for the princess. She was just doing what she thought was best for her kingdom. Yet there wasn't much that he could do about it at the moment. "I'll be sure to help you in leading the people." Probably not helping if he's staying things the real prince might not follow through with. Right before the paper could be handed to Boreal, Gaius had taken it and eaten it. Trapping the paper within Charolette's body. "Well there goes that." Not much else that could be done, other than playing the waiting game. Which could be some time depending on well, variables. "So, anyone got a plan B?" Waiting was a valid plan b, but Veilen didn't know if anyone else would go for it. "Well his second in command did try to kill us, we should be able to get an answer to his reasons." Alisa replied. As Balthazar explained more about the specter, he also pointed out how the rules for the guild were all around them. That was great because Alisa couldn't read the hieroglyphs on the wall at all. So either way she was going to have to have his word for it. After walking into a pyramid Balthazar had unfurled a banner which revealed a golden hand. The hand of midas to be exact. Alisa was familiar with this story for it was one of the ones her father told her as a kid. If the hand is real, then I might be able to pay off fathers debt. The hopeful thought arose alongside a smile as she looked at the image on the banner
"I have one. How will we know what our 'anchors' are?" Ken questioned, leaning back a bit in his seat. So he was here because something was keeping him tied to earth and that was why he was here. Interesting. This made him wonder just what it was keeping him tied down. He tried to think of just what it could be that was keeping him down and he was coming up with nothing. It certainly wasn't any of his many foster homes. He better ones he'd left early one and the latter one hated his guts. Which was fine, he hated theirs too. "Is there any hints that could give it away?" "You said that there's no Hell, does that mean that there's no heaven as well and this is it? Or is there a paradise for us once we're done here?" While Leo wasn't a very religious person, being dead and having someone just outright say hat there's no hell would open up a few questions. At least for him it did.
The description that the princess had given about some of the other nobles wasn't much of a surprise to Zwei. hopping from girl to girl wasn't much of a surprise to be honest, nobles weren't the only male to do that, but when it came to nobles their reasoning for doing so was very different from the norm. For example, they wanted a male heir and all of their brides kept producing females. He didn't know who Nessa Rose was, but if a bunch of suitors were being sent to her, then it was understandable for her to feel bad. "It must be bad to be in a situation like that." The princess had continued with her passionate rant I guess as well as flattery of him. To which at the end he just lightly chuckled. "I just try to do what' best for the people. You'd probably do the same if you were in my position." They had gotten Silvia to somewhat calm down and she was right, they couldn't just sit around here. They had to find the prince since he wasn't here. The problem was that the scent that Leo had ended here. They would need a new scent to find the prince. Which would require something else with his scent. "We need another way of finding his scent. I should be able to find him if it leads somewhere else."
Silvia was still having a break down despite what Leo had said. Damian hadn't really said anything to help the situation at all though there probably wasn't much that he could've said that would've help given how he's been missing for quite some time. What they needed was a surefire way to convince Silvia that they weren't imposter's and Skadi had said what could be that surefire thing. "Remember the picture I showed you back at the guild hall, how it helped to ease some of your troubles. We talked about your parents and briefly mine." The guild master wasn't all too concerned about his second in command that they had just beaten which could've been a result of the latter trying to kill him. X was an odd man. Inviting them to help and then having them fight or be killed. Makes you wonder why he's still part of the guild. Especially since he's apparently tried to overthrow the current guild master. "Can you tell us what these reasons are?"
While the princess had said nothing about the lake that they had raced to, she did bring up the sunset that was going on. Zwei completely missed the fact that the sun was setting in the first place, but didn't mention it at all. In fact he was too busy to reply to the princess for he was to busy staring at the sunset. In fact, we'll just assume that she'd called his name a couple more time to get a response from him and on the last time she'd called his name, the somewhat blank stare that was on his face has vanished and he'd snapped back into reality. "O-oh right. Well I can't really complain. I've been pretty fortunate." Which were lies, but the illusion had to be kept up. Even if he'd momentary forgotten that he was the prince due to the sunset.
The final blow to Pete had dealt and the over sized cat had been brought down. This prompted the others to return to the stage. While the Queen was congratulating them all, Kel had walked over to Raisor to help him back up. The blue haired boy had placed one his arms over his should and helped him back to his feet. "Don't expect me to carry you for long." Kel then had heard the Queen dub the trio as Royal musketeers, to which he gave them a thumbs up. "Congrats." The three of them had accomplished their dream which was good for them. Which meant that there was nothing left for them to do here and almost on cue a portal had opened up. Probably one to take them Disney Town. "This is probably our ticket out of here. Good luck being royal musketeers." That served as his farewell as he walked through with Raisor in tow. As expected the portal had brought the two back to Disney Town and in a much less forceful manner than how he brought into the world. Normally he would've started to wander around, but since he was currently carrying around someone who was conscious unlike when he was carrying around Luna who was the opposite of that. So instead he was going to stand around and wait for the others to show up.
Before an answer could be given to his question, Silvia had a freak out hearing the word shapeshifter. It was very concerning to see, Silvia was a fragile girl from what learn had learn/figured from his talk with her back at the guild and thus, this most certainly wasn't good. "Silvia, none of us are shapeshifters. Now just calm down, we're not trying to trick you." Leo was treading carefully as he spoke. Despite Evanora's "No babysitting" rule, he was still and S-Class and it was his responsibility to help his fellow guild mates in anyway he could possibly could. Elsewhere Zwei's Turkish horse had taken the lead and had arrived to the lake before the princess could. The last wave of attack that had been dealt to X had successfully brought him down. In fact, the guild master didn't even seem all that concerned for his fallen comrade. Alisa placed her shield on her back and started walking towards the passage that had been opened to them. "Are we really going to leave him here?"
Leo was the next person to enter the cabin after Skadi had forced her way in. Silvia had been the one to find Damion in a nearby room. "Wait shapeshifters?" Leo started to recall the scream that was heard while they were on the carriage as well as how Damian had been acting at the time. "When did they capture you?"
Kageyama had taunted that things would go differently once the big guns showed up, but no one had shown up when he has said that. It was like he was stalling for time until the "big guns" actually arrived. That had appeared to be the case as three goons had walked up to face them. These three looked a cut above the ones that they had fought before. Which meant that things could be a bit difficult from their last battle. Not that that was going to stop him from fighting. Once again he became cloaked in flames as he dashed towards the Silencer. Zephyr used Fire Dash on Dark Guild Silencer Silvia had been the first to speak after regrouping. "We'll find them, don't worry about that." So long as he had their scent he would be able to do so. The nose of a dragon slayer has failed him before. Thus he went ahead and lead the others towards the location of the prince. The group had walked a bit until they came across a lone cabin the woods. "The prince should be here and with any luck Damian as well." Leo stated.
Man this girl is competitive. They'd just got through an archery contest and now she wanted to have a horse. If she had something to prove that was fine, but why was she trying to prove it to him. If she was trying to impress him, then she was trying way to hard. Zwei sighed. There wasn't much that he could do. So with a quick whip of the horse's reins, he'd set off behind the princess towards the lake. So Leo's battle with the bunnies had started off has him trying not to utterly shit face them, but unfortunately for them they kept pushing his button. Punches that surprisingly hurt and multiply bites later had enough. Leo then started to focus his dragon slayer magic into his fist and when it had reached it's peak capacity, he slammed it into the ground. The impact of his fist had caused a massive explosion pure white dragon slayer magic that completely vaporized not only the bunnies that were around him, but a fair amount of trees in the forest. Effectively nuking that entire area. He'd quite literally nuked the area to the point where he was standing in a man made clearing. "Lousy bunnies, how can thy hurt so mu- Oh hey! It's the others." His act of mass deforestation had one major benefit, he could see both Skadi and Silvia in the distance. The one benefit of vaporizing forest. Well that and he got a much clearly direction of the princes scent from here. First he needed to regroup with the rest of the search party, thus he ran over to them small bunny bite wound and all. "Guys, over here!" His calling out to them was accompanied by a wave as not really being concerned if anyone heard him other than the intended people. If anyone was going to notice him, they would've the moment he nuked the forest.
So both Johanna and Samantha forgot to mention something very important to him. The fact that the prince had named his horse after her. Kinda weird, that he did so, but what ever. Time to take a guess here. The Chestnut horse was out cause Samantha isn't black. Out of the two left, he decided to go with the Turkish one (You know which one Cal, it starts with a A). "Samantha's that one, I named it after her as a way to repay her for what she's done over the years." Zwei said, pointing to the aforementioned horse.
Alisa used Barrier Surge and blocked for Lucia
Renette had thrown the paper airplane across the guild hall once more, which Veilen eyes had followed it up until it had landed. The plane did go far, just as she had mentioned. "I asked cause the paper you used to make the airplane could help us get back into our own bodies." Veilen said, briefly having a confused expression on his face as Renette mentioned waffles. The expression was short lived as he shook his head. "I'm good." Where would she even get the waffles is the real question. Well he supposed that there was a kitchen around her somewhere. His attention was attracted towards Dale when he'd heard him shout at Boreal. He was already free? What kind of crap guard does this guild have? However things did not look as they appeared, for Boreal had mentioned that he could actually be of help. "If he can actually help us, I say let him." Veilen said throwing his two or maybe one and a half cents in. "You're right, I know nothing about how your dark guild works, but I can guess not well. I've seen dark guild with less members work better than you all." Zephyr said in a taunting manner as he turned his attention towards the Shadowmancer. Zephyr ran towards the man, picking up some speed before lunging at him with his fist outstretched towards him. Zephyr used blitz on the Shadowmancer
Xross Bring it Xander, I ain't scared of you! While Akira had yelled at the Hero, calling them all fools, before running out and Samara hunched over, Xross had just stood there. What the others around him were doing was of no concern to him, what he was more focused on at the moment was the odd sense of familiarity he was getting from the hero. There really shouldn't be anyone that seems familiar to him given how long Xross has been around, but there was no shaking the feeling. There would be no way of knowing why the hero seemed familiar to him until he was free, which he proceeded to explain. At first when the Hero had spoke directly into Xross's head, he thought that he was hearing voices. A sign that the one thread of sanity he had left was breaking. Though it wasn't long before he realized that that wasn't the case, this time anyway. It was odd hearing the voice directly into his head, but once the method of freeing him was revealed, Xross spoke. "Just how many locks are left to break then?" The one Hunter had ran in a broke made one, and the one Samsara had unlocked was two. Which made 2 out of an unknown total. Zephyr wasn't surprised in the slightest when his words basically fell on deaf ears. At this point the only thing that would've surprised him would have been Xander actually listening to him. "Correction, I followed you guys to find the hero. The goddess and whatever you have against her are no concerns of mine." Xander then proceeded to mention Dane, another person he knew jackshit about. What he did know was that Xander and Caleb had it out for him. The reason behind their anger he could probably figure out if he stopped to think about it, but there wasn't time for that. "Blaming a goddess because you couldn't protect someone won't change a thing. If you really want to do something about it, do it yourself." The first move of their fight was made by Xander, who clearly wanted to make this a quick one. However, with a quick side step to the left as well as a simultaneous ducking of the blade aimed for his neck, Zephyr had managed to avoid the initial attack. So its going to be one of those fights. A battle were a single second could decide the victor. It would be the first time he's had one against a human before. Zephyr proceeded to arm himself with his weapons of choice. The red gauntlet that appeared over his right arm and his twin keyblades. He was going to need both of them for his fight. For his move, he wouldn't rush in, for that would be stupid. Instead he imbued the keyblade in his right hand with wind and fired off a shock wave towards Xander. If his attack was to be dodged like he was expected it be to, then his next attack would have already been sent at him. Doing the same thing that he did to his right keyblade, only with fire instead of wind, a flaming shock wave was sent at him as well.
"And I don't know how a prince is suppose to act, especially one who's part of an arrange marriage." Damn you fate who for some unknown reason decided to have the prince look just like him. Zwei honestly didn't give two shits about the fact that she called him boring. He's been called much much worse in the past. "Archery and 20 questions only works for so long, unless you happen to know where the stables are?"
Alisa could feel the impact of X's attack against her mighty shield, but her shield stood tall and shielded her from damage. Even against the tornado, though the lingering barriers from her Barrier Surge attack helped in that. Now with the exception of her and Lucia, everyone else had appeared to be stunned. This lasted long enough for Lucia to go all Mahou Shoujo and cured them of their stunned. Thus this time a ring flames appeared around Alisa and she launched herself towards X once more, falling back to cover to Beucette once the attack was finished. Alisa used Fire Surge on X and blocked for Beucette "What are you talking about, he's clearly unconscious." Zephyr said in response to Kageyama's accusation. He was fairly certain that the guy that he'd kicked was just unconscious as he took a couple steps away from him to prepare for the next attack. What he didn't notice however was Cassandra's change in attire and thus not noticing the swarm of swords that struck just about everyone other than a fortunate few until after the damage had been done. "Oh, okay now he's dead." In an attempt of payback, Kageyama thought it fitting to have his last two standing guild members attack Aoki. While they had succeeded in bringing her down, Ander had casted cure on her. "As if we'd let you take down one of our own!" Zephyr became cloaked in flames as he rushed towards the first Shieldbearer. Zephyr used Fire Dash on Dark Shieldbearer 1 Zwei still wasn't sure just how was he doing this good at archery. First he'd barely won and now he'd ended up in a tie with the princess. Either he actually had a knack for this sport or lady luck was on his side. Since this round ended in a draw despite it now saying anywhere that they were going to have more than one round and Cal's just challenging her inner stubborn female they would both be asking questions to each other. The Princess had gone first and asked the same thing that he'd asked her. At first Zwei just shrugged his shoulders. "Well you seem like a typical princess more or less, minus the helplessness and locked in a tower or something. You don't seem like someone who would lie or do anything else along those lines to get something." I swear if you give me grief for this Cal, I will delete this post. All of it.
Alright, feeling a bit more creative with this post, so let's get on with it then. After simple tossing his keyblade at Pete's head, Kel had prepared to attack the man/animal once more, but something had prevented him from doing so. It had seemed that Ananta had approached Pete and was belly bumped towards him and knocking him to the ground. "Ow, that hurt." He looked up and saw that Ananta had offer to help him up. Kel took hold of her hand and got back up on his feet. "If he didn't want us to hit him, then he shouldn't have done just about everything that he's done and don't worry about it." The blue haired wielder could honestly care less that Pete was upset that he'd hit him and you know what? Kel was going to spite him. Screw long and drawn out attacks, Kel used strike raid once more on Pete. Making sure that this attack was filled with spite and aimed for his head. Pete: 26/100
Unless you're Sara, then you're a judgmental *****. True statement OP. The Princess had then grabbed her bow and arrow, apparently she wanted to re shoot. "Um, why do you want to re shoot?" Is what he would say, but since Cal is a stubborn little Canadian who expects us to know what her posts don't clearest don't say at all, he just said "Yeah." and picked up his bow.
"I see." Zwei said. Yeah he was definitely being honest and totally not lying to her face. It was a good thing that he was hopefully covering for the fact that the real prince was MIA. Sure this could cause problems for the actual prince later on, but those weren't his problems at all. If the real prince somehow managed to fuck things up, then GG Prince. GG. That said since Cal was nagging Mok, I suppose I'll have to add something else. "That's not something I often hear." OOC: HAVE THE PRINCESS SAY SOMETHING ELSE CAL!
Holy crap he'd actually won. Huzzah for surprising and lucky outcome. After the princess had congratulated him on his victory, she'd brought up how he was able to ask her anything. Which is where our new problem arose. Zwei had no idea what to ask her. Maybe if he stayed quiet for a bit something would come to mind, or something or someone would give him something that he could ask about. A couple of seconds had passed and he had come up with something. "So, what was your first impression of me?"
