Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41847 Sara's pov: She felt a healing light. She then became aware of what was going on. A large pile of rock that was once the giant rock monster was near by. What happed to that thing? It did not madder at the moment. Alessia then said everyone did a good job. She did not remember doing anything that was note worthy of saying she did anything that was good. What had happened was a mystery. She looked at Alessia with a questioning look on her face. She looked and saw that the boat was now done. Then major Mint said that everyone did a good job fighting. Was she apart of it? If she did fight why was it that she did not remember the fight at all? Some rather strange things has happened on the mission. The last thing that she remembered was a rock falling on her and feeling angry. The next moment she was looking at a pile of rocks that used to be the rock monster. She thought about asking them what had happened. She did not however, because they would have told her some story how she fought with magic or something. Magic, that strange green magic light of healing was the only magic she knew, that she knew of. They got on the boat shorty after. They then reached a large island full of trees and flowers. The place did not seam real. It was almost to perfect. "This place is strange." She thought about going into the palace. Somehow when she said something she would mess it up. Whenever she talked something bad happened. When she did not talk something bad happened. If it came down to it she guess she would do it. Jack did not seem like he would open the door. She had the nagging feeling that not everything was right with the whole palace. She walked to the open door of the place. Thea said she would go first. Then Thea and Silvia already went in. She then Said to captain candy "what do you think of this place?" What was with this place? What was within? Staying by the door. It was almost like they might close by magic or something. It was almost like it was not real. "I do not trust this place." She looked in to the palace and saw...
Galuna Island: View attachment 41844 Ander's pov: Dale was rather quite. He was hoping he would have said something to him. He just walked without saying anything. What was he thinking? Something to do with what he said. Do not do something stupid Dale he thought. Well since Dale was not talking he decided that he would talk to Gaius. He was going to have to talk to Gaius sooner or later. He went back to the back of the group were Gaius was walking to talk to Gaius. "Gaius, Dale is going to use ice shell on Deliora." He was rather sure if it came down to it Dale would use that spell. "Gaius it is important that Dale does not use that spell under any circumstance. He must be stopped. I am not going to let him use that spell because of my mistake." Speaking in a whisper so that only Gaius could hear. "Do what ever you have to do to stop him. We have to." He walked away from Gaius so as not to arise anything. He would stop Dale even if that meant fighting him. He could not hurt Dale so the next best thing was to talk to Gaius about it. We walked though the temple kind of watching were he was going. While he walked he thought about what to do about Dale. He was not entirely sure what to do. Hopefully Gaius would think of something. The question was asked what to do about Cal and what to do if they had to fight them. "Cal is a special kind of snowflake. We if do run it to Cal then we try and talk to her to see reason. If that does not work we will fight. As much as I rather not fight her, even if it comes to that we will have to fight her no madder what. To protect the guild and each other. If Cal does not see reason she will not be welcome back to the guild. As far as I can see it she already made her choice. She is not getting a third chance to mess things up." He believed in second chances, but a third chance was not going to happen. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. He would not let Cal get way for this. They walk out to see Cal and Boreal. It was time for this to end. "Now is your chance for this to end. Destroy the mask and choice now. You Can help protect the ice shell from melting or you can fight." He did not say that he would tell Dale to get Deliora moved and hopefully no one would find it that time. If it came down to it he would use his power to fight them.
Galuna Island: View attachment 41799 Ander's pov: He heard a voice. Gaius, he jumped. The last he saw of him he was sucked into the void. He was glad he was back. "I know. Everona will not do a thing. It is some what unfortunate. She deserves to be trailed of treason." Gaius had a point they did not know what happened, but he had a good idea. "Were have you been? What happened to you?" he asked. "Gaius you been rather quite." Maybe he was deep in thought or something or other. Everyone gave there support to Dale. Everyone was ready to fight. "He may have captured me. killed me even, but would it not be worth the extra minutes that Deliora was left in the ice Shell? Every minute counts even one. That one minute could be the difference between Deliora being freed and staying how it is now. My life is worth spending on saving millions." He had the choice one before. "I had the choice once before to save someone. I did not take it Dale. Hundreds of people died, it was because I did not stop them. Every day I am to live with that curse that I did not do what I should have. I had that chance and blew it again, people will die again because of something I did not do. I was to afraid to do what needed to be done then. I will not let that happen again." The was a fire in his voice as he spoke. "I will fight for those that can not fight. For all the people that will die. For what is right. I will continue to fight for something that I could have stopped. Something I should have stopped" If it came down to Deliora being freed he would stop him too, even if that meant stopping Dale. He knew the moment that Deliora was free Dale would use ice shell on it. He could not let that happen. "Gaius" he gave him that look that he needed to talk to him. If Dale was going to use ice shell he was going to have to get help to stop him. He could not live with himself if he let Dale use that spell. Dale was worth saving. The support that everyone was giving Dale was odd and touching at the same time. "We are one." They were not just a members of a group. They could work together. There would be respect. They would be one group instead of one person.
Galuna Island: View attachment 41797 Ander's pov: "Dale you should know...." He was cut off by Cal's dumbness. "What do I know?" Anger in his voice. Cal then yelled at Dale for abandoning his brother. The fact that they were brothers was not so much of a surprise. The similar look of them was interesting. "You told him, about us didn't you? About the guild? How could you Cal? You will be trilled for treason." Cal was lucky in a way. With Everona as the guild leader, nothing would happen to her, because She would not doing anything. surprise, surprise. There was nothing new there. If Everona did something he would be surprised. "I have seen some petty dumb things in my life Cal, but this take the cake." How could someone be so dumb? Anger in his voice. "I know enough not to go blindly by myself on a unknown location. To tell a unknown person everything. For what, because you what? You fell in love with him didn't you" He laughed as he spook. "You are so stupid." Like what the... He did not know what to say anymore. Dale then explained his past to Cal. "Cal people leave there families for all sorts of reasons. You speak of things you clearly have no clue about." He remembered how he had to leave his parents twenty-one years ago. "I had to leave my parents twenty-one years ago at the age of three. Both my parents knew nothing of magic so they sent me away. It just shows that sometimes you can not help with your family. Choices are made. Hard choices, every day. Just look at Deliora, cal if it gets free there is no fighting that. No killing that. We will loss. All for what, because you want to get in Boreal's pants." Then cal did some thing that took the cake again she flew off again. Cal was so dumb. Then Charlotte showed up showing her support. "Dale." looking at him with sadness in his eyes. "I am sorry, but I let Boreal go. I could have stopped him. If Deliora gets free it will because I let him go." Guilt in his eyes. What would Dale do with this information. He was sure he would be mad at him. "Dale what is the fastest way to contact the guild?" Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41798 Sara's pov: Anger was still there. She would fight on. she used blitz, because why not
Galuna Island: View attachment 41795 Ander's pov: He listened to what Cal said closely. "What exactly did you tell Boreal?" Her story of what happened did not add up. Did someone shoot her down? The other thing was that Cal could have melted the ice chains at any moment using fire. Cal did not for some reason. Did she enjoy it. He was confused by the whole situation. Veilen then asked Dale how to get out. "Dale is right Cal." Dale was right? What madness was this? Anyways. "We saw him use ice. All of us." Deliora, what were they doing with him? One thing was for certain. "They are trying to free Deliora. I do not know how they plan on doing this feet, but if someone found out a way it is not good for anyone. If Deliora is freed there will be no stopping it. Millions will die. Why someone would free Deliora other then to cause damage is beyond me." Dale explained that Boreal was his half brother. It was odd almost out of charter of him. Dale was not one to tell about himself as easy as others. Why was he giving this up? He had no reason to. A pain of guilt rose with him. He could have followed Boreal, but he did not. Instead he jumped down a hole. If only he followed Boreal. If Deliora was freed it would because he did nothing to stop it. He just let him go. If he was to do it over again he would follow Boreal. Sacrificing himself for a madman would be worth it. To stop Deliora. He would have to tell Dale. If it came down to Deliora being freed no one would be to blame, but him, because he did not stop it. "Dale you should know...." The look of guilt on his face. It was like that mission years ago all over again. He could not and would not let that happened again. All those people died because he was to dumb. Bryce Sacrificing himself, for something he should have stopped. Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41796 Sara's pov: "Whatever you say." She was not sure what to make of what Clara. Clara wanted to leave bad. She went back not knowing what to do. Then a giant rock monster showed up. Well at least it was not another mouse army. She stood there not sure what to do. How was she to fight that thing? The most logical thing would be to use water on it or ice. They were not by any snow anymore. That brought up a question. What was with the odd changes in the weather? She wondered if leading it to the water would be any help. Then she remembered what Alessia said that when she said something she was not helpful. She always made things bad. She just stood there thinking. What use was she in a battle anyway? A large rock came down from the giant rock monster. Anger filled her and she was not longer aware of what was going on. Fire in her hand now. She threw it with anger. Attack Blitz
Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41791 Sara's pov: She got on the log with Clara and realized that she did not have anything to row with. So she took her bow and used that because why not? She continued to row to the rock. She been thinking about Eric. "Clara, Eric needs to tell people, what he is up to. People are not going to trust him if he keeps his secret. Trust me on this. You should try to convince him." He may be trying to protect the people, but they have a right to know. "Before you ask, I figured it out long ago." What was Eric up to? "How long do you think it will take Captain candy and major mint to figure it out, because the way he talks about it wont take much longer." The large piece of wood hit the rock with the cloth. "If people find out they will not be happy that this was kept from them."
Galuna Island: View attachment 41785 Ander's pov: He stood on the edge of the temple entrance. When Dale went in despite saying the temple was unstable. Then they had a fight and the floor fell in. He was not surprised in the slightest, when the group fell into the hole. He stood on the edge of the temple entrance, glad that he did not go in to it like the rest of the group. He told them it would fall in, but did they listen, no, because he did not know what he was talking about. This left a option to follow this unknown person or to jump down the hole. He was not dumb enough to follow this unknown person by himself so he light a fire to get a better look a how far down the hole went. He was just about able to make out the bottom. He looked at Ra who may not or may have been there. He then took a running jump and jumped down the hole. At the last few moment of his fall he cast aero to slow his decent. He landed on his feet. It just showed how resourceful he could be. He reached the bottom and looked around. He saw Cal chained up. He shook his head in disappointment. She could have escaped at any moment. All one would have to do was use fire. He looked at Deliora. He knew who it was the moment he saw it. The pieces of this mission came together. It all involved ice magic. Dale freed Cal, if you do something she will not learn. He had some questions to ask both Cal and Dale. He continued to look around. They continued to talk about Deliora. "Deliora was created by a dark wizard by the name of Zeref. Deliora roamed around the continent destroying different cities and towns. The last that was heard of Deliora was that he was on a continent to the north." When Ander spook he seemed to be referencing from a book. "By the look of it Deliora was moved from the north to this island." Did Dale know it was moved? He did not seem to know so he did not bother asking. Boreal and Dale were some how related. It was not his place to ask about such things. By the look of things they wanted to free Deliora. "Ice shell is meant to be unmeltiable. Unless you know of a way that it can be melted." He looked At Dale. "If Deliora is freed it will cause more damage then it did years ago." Then he turned to Cal. "What happened to you?" He knew the answer she had been dumb and went off by herself. The details should be interesting. Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41786 Sara's pov: She had to say she did not know how to swim. She never learned. She found a near by large piece of wood and threw in in the water. "come with me" There was no way she would go over there by herself.
Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41779 Sara's pov: Her face went from the look of sadness and depression, to the look of surprise on her face when Thea said that she had some cool magic. What was she talking about? The only had one magic which was healing people. She did not see how that was cool. Thea seemed to be talking, that said knew more then one magic, this confused her even more. She did know how to use a bow, but not anymore. The bow was useless at the current stats. Her bow still had a curse on it. That reminded her that she was going to ask Captain candy if he could fix it. Then Thea said that she was real going at fighting. What? Since when? This was a lie, she was the most useless and unhelpful person hear when it came to fighting. "Why are you telling him this?" She asked Thea. What? "If you want someone to fight you are better off sending anyone, but me." At this moment she was confused. Was Thea confused, or was she mixing her up with someone? No this was not possible. She was the only one on this mission with a bow. The major mint said that it would be a pleasure fight with the group of them. The only pleasure he would have fighting would be if she was not there. She was told to get some rest. She never really went to bed. She just stood by a window looking out from the tree house. She did not remember the last time she got some sleep or rest of that madder. She could not sleep anyways. She just stood there looking and thing about what Thea and Major mint had said. Why was she looked to when it came to fighting? Why her? Could no one see that anyone here was better then her at fighting? Almost everyone in this group saw her in a positive light. This was a odd thing to her. Day came hours ladder and she did not get any sleep. She just stood there thing all night. They reached the Sea of Storms. Then was asked to split up. She looked at the group who should she go with? She decide to go with some one new. The nutcracker or Clara she would go with. not caring which one. She did not really care who she went with as long as it was not with Jack or Mikuzi. So she stood between Eric and Clara and would go with whoever would take her. "I will go with, Clara or Er, the nutcracker." She said it like it really did not madder.
Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41775 Sara's pov: She walked though the tree house and started looking for someone to talk to. Although that was probably not the best idea. Was it worth it? The stress of not doing anything was getting to her. There was a look of depression and sadness on her face. The thought of leaving the group crossed her mind. am I just going to give up? I am no better then Eric or anyone if I do. All I will be doing would be thinking of myself. I always blame people for thing of themselves, am I doing the same thing? I am not sure what to do anymore. What would he do? He always knew what to do. Every moment was spot on. Everything had its purpose its place. Everything had a reason for happening. Was his death the same? She was not so sure anymore. She was not sure what her purpose was. This mission was meant to be a fun seep over. It turned into a fire, person missing/ thing of death. What happened? The fun was sucked away just like... So far She was useless. Was Jack even better then her? No. She was left with nothing. When she joined the guild it was a simple task. Get money and leave. Enough to get by. If anything was truer then true it was that nothing was as easy as it was meant to be. Nothing was a script that she could just follow. One thing for sure was nothing was for certain. The mystery continues. Beucette, was nowhere to be seen. Skadi, was gone and nowhere to be seen. Mikuzi, was an angry volcano ready to set off. She started looking for Alessia to talk to. Alessia was with the nutcracker Spotting her moment before, but left. In that moment she knew something, that he was indeed the prince. It was time to leave. One word prince Eric was in her head. Jack was a useless person. She spotted Jack. He knew Jack nothing, maybe that was how he got his name. Jack was there and she did not want to be anywhere near him. That just left Silvia, and Thea. Both of them She felt like she bothered enough. Major Mint was always angry and she did not want to talk to him. Thinking some more. That left Captain Candy. He was the only nice man that she came across in a long time. So three options she thought to herself. Thea, Silvia and Captain candy. Then she thought better then that. I will just be a bother to them she thought. She continued to walking in the tree house and came across Thea, Major Mint and Captain candy. The look of depression and sadness still on her face. She stood by the entrance way ready to leave any moment. The feeling that she was interrupting came to her. She then said a few words. "Ops. I.." Her shyness coming to her. She did not know what to say.
Scott's pov: View attachment 41769 He continued to look around the caste for someone to ask so questions. Everyone he walked up to walked away quickly. He had to say that anyone wanting to kill the king would have a easy time getting in and around in the castle. Finding the king and killing him was a whole another madder. I mean come on how hard is it to find one person. I should have found the king by now he thought. Maybe it was a impossibility. Perhaps the king was in another castle. He would continue to look around for a bit longer, but he did not think he would find anything. The castle was so large, no wonder the killing the king might just be that rumors. At far as he could see there was no way anyway anyone could find him. The moment that someone would try and kill the king he would be gone. Then the chances of asking him question went out the window. Were are you king??? What was the kings name? The only thing he ever heard the king referred to was king. Just another question on top of the many he had. Sara's pov: View attachment 41770 She stood there, watching, Alec, Kari, Vex, and Xera. Kari and the person who she has been following for some time started talking. By the looks of it Kari got angry quite easy. The other man that was standing there seemed to not like what the girl was saying. Now most of them went into the tunnel the only person left was a girl. What is she doing here? What are they doing here? There were a lot of them. What are you doing? She moved closer to get a better look. She looked down the tunnel. It seemed to go on kind of far. She looked at Kari, the girl that was left. Get moving she thought, I do not want them to know that I am here yet. Information is the key. Then she left into the tunnel. Ok good she thought. With that she went in to the tunnel a minute after. At the end of a tunnel was a large room and from the sounds of it fighting was inside. oh no not another fight. Maybe I will get lucky and not get hurt. She just stood by watching. Unknown to her she was stand right by Alec the person she been following for some time. Were you go? She was trying to keep her distance from the fight for now. ??? unknown pov: View attachment 41771 He was still on his way to Corvus and should get there any moment. Why did he have to pick such as slow horse? Well no madder he would get there soon. A few minutes later he got too Corvus. He found out there was a fight at a bar not far away. Perhaps I should start looking there he thought. So he headed off to the bar. He wondered what he would find. A bar fight. How interesting. It probably only meant one thing, fighting over something pointless. That said bar fights were pretty much nonexistent were he came from. What were you fighting over? He continued his way to the bar.
Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41706 Sara's pov: She stood there not believing what Jack was doing. He going to mess up the plan. Well there goes that idea. She gave him a sharp look. What was with him? Men nothing but problems. This one in particular, she wanted to throw off the edge of the tree house and never see him again. How could someone be so dumb? Now the chance of them getting help from Major Mint and Captain Candy dropped, because of Jack. Then Thea said she wanted to help and beat the mouse king. She then gave a sharp glance at Major Mint and Captain Candy. What have they done? They made a young girl cry. What was with these two men uggh men again, nothing, but problems all of them. Then Silvia opened her moth and said something. Tying prove himself by fixing everything. ok maybe. This plan is so not going work now, because people are dumb. Learn to think people. apparently that was to hard for them. The King was murdered. Well that makes since, that he was no were to be seen. Lucky that Major Mint and Captain Candy did not take what Jack said the wrong way. oh good they did not listen to that dumb head. Needless to say her plan worked. Jack was the least helpful person here right now. At least Major Mint and Captain Candy had enough since to listen to her. Captain Candy picked up on what she was trying to do and before Major Mint could say other wise they joined them. Good it worked. She was quite happy with herself. Now to find the nearest ledge and accidently push Jack off opps. oh well we did not need him any way. She looked at the nutcracker. The Prince just went missing and then he shows up. The more she thought about it the more she thought that the nutcracker was the prince. "The prince maybe closer then you think." She eyed the nutcracker closely. Captain Candy seemed to be taking care of Thea so no reason to go there, Jack was useless, Beucette was who knew were, Mikuzi was no fun. That just left Silvia, and Alessia left to talk to. Now which one to talk to? Maybe it was best she did not talk to anyone. She took one last look at the two and headed for the door.
Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41697 Sara's pov: She took a look at Thea. Thea was shaking her head. I will not stand by while someone takes blame Thea was so young. She thought back to the man she killed, what would he have done? He would have done what she was doing now, take the blame. Was that why he tired to get her to stop stealing? Thinking back, he would have took them blame for her if she ever was caught. Thea need someone that would, do that. She still wished someone in her life would be there for her. She was no longer in this guild for herself, for the money, she could make a difference. Her bow was the only thing holding her back. She would have to get someone to remove the curse from it. She looked at Major Mint and Captain Candy she wondered if they could help her. Then Captain Candy explained who prince Eric was. "Were is the king? With the prince Eric missing in action, shouldn't he be taking over?" It was odd that the king did not take over the kingdom. "To prove himself to who? To prove what?" The Mouse King wanted power. Of course he did. He controls the fear and safety of all subjects in the Kingdom. "Why? If people banded together they could take him down." She still did not get why people would be afraid of him. "You say that prince Eric went off to goof off. That Prince Eric wished to do something else with his life. That he should have never gave away the crown. That there were many alternatives. That he did not care, and he should not care. To me Prince Eric seems like he was in it for him self. That all he thinks of is him." This got her thinking this could work. She smiled before saying anything else. "Are you any better? You say prince Eric done these things, but you are doing the same thing. You are turning your back on people that need your help." She let this sink in before continuing. "You are just like everyone else in this world. You are in it for your self. Unless you want to prove me wrong and come with us then you can get going."
Galuna Island: View attachment 41696 Ander’s pov: While walking towards the temple there was on thing left he wanted to tell Ra. "I do not want Dale to make the same mistakes I did. I did everything that I could, but it still happened. Dale needs to pay more attention to things going on, because one day if he does not change he will get someone killed, for his negative ways. I do not want to be to be a leader anymore Ra, but that does not mean I will stop helping those in need." If they did not want help should he still help? "My days of being a leader are over." Him being a leader got people killed. Unknown to him the whole thing was set up. While he waited for Ra to answer him or respond he looked at the others. Charlotte walked over to Dale and started talking to him. He would not put it past her to agree with him, after all that all she has been doing this mission. He would have to ask her about that. Then Veilen looked over to were Ra and him were talking. He did not seem that interested in what they were saying. Then there was Dale. If Dale did not get rid of chip there will be problems. Chip lives on Dale’s shoulder and he need to get rid of it. Dale should not treat people like he has. Then he reached the temple. Ra did not give really any thing that he was doing anything to take a side. Standing at the temple entrance was Charlotte and Ra. At least some people had enough brains not to go blindly into a unknown building. Ra then he said that Calxiyn was Perhaps inside the temple. He looked in to the temple and all he saw was Therity and Veilen. "Well she not in this spot. she either not here or in a different part of the temple." He stood at the entrance of the temple with Charlotte and Ra. Charlotte said that they should look into the temple. "Maybe Charlotte, but I am not so sure." Temples have a secrets in them. Secrets and traps. Maybe this one did not and they would not have to worry about that. He did not trust that though. "Temples have secrets, secrets that have been lost for a long time. Along with traps. This temple is old. I would not be surprised if this thing fell apart right now." In short this was dangerous going in there. He then looked at the walls and the floor of the temple closely, looking for any thing that might trigger a trap.
Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41694 Sara's pov: A trap?! We saved your lives! It was no trap, it was a rescue. What a lie. "I do not know where you come from, but having a weapon out on someone does not mean that they are rescuing us or you could be." calming herself slightly "I grew up on the streets. When someone has a weapon on you there is no rescue. When on the streets a person with a weapon wants money or wants to kill you." Her anger a clearly there, but not what it once was. Then Clear said that they were not enemies. "If you want to join a guild then you can not trust everyone you come across. Not everyone is what they seem to be. I will go for this now. We do not know anything about Sugar Plum Princess." This was truth enough. Clearly they were not at all going to be helpful. What was the point of this? She was ready to do something else. She walked away from them she was ready to go. Ever since she lost her necklace her emotions were not the same. She wondered if she would be the same if she found it. It always seemed like it had some sort of power over her. It seemed like it only left her with shyness and nothing else. Then Alessia said something to her. She took a deep breath. She clamed herself down. "You are right Alessia." Did she have the power that the necklace once had on her or was this just some random thing? The sea of storms. How were they to get there? Then there was that name again. Prince Eric, who was he. What did he do or did not do? She turned back to Major Mint and Captain Candy she did not know what to do. Her emotions were under control for now, but for how long. "What mess? Who is Prince Eric? He did something. What did he do?" She had to say her intress was peaked. The sound of the Sugar Plum Princess, did she have some sort of magic? Did she have a weapon? There was so much unknown. One thing was for centan they needed answers. "What about the mouse king? What do you know of him? Why is he doing this? Is it for money, power something else?"
Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41691 Sara's pov: "So not working for the Mouse King." Yea sure. "Then why set up a trap?" It did not madder that they were human. Human or not they could be spies. She still did not trust them. What kind of name was Major Mint and Captain Candy. It was like a name of a cereal. Did a cereal name them? Was captain crunch in on it too. The nutcracker then said her name well there goes that plan. She could not believe that she would risk her life for some like him. "I am Sara." She was kind of mad she could not lie about her name. She already told them why they were here so why they were asking was beyond her. She told them that they were after the mouse king. Was Colonel cotton in on it too. Because clearly they had cotton in their ears. "I am here because I just so happen to be around." She did not care what else there was. This was the way and this was truth enough. She hoped the others would not give out any information. Please lie she thought. Spies of the mouse king. Then Jack opened his big mouth and told them things. uggh why did he do that? How dumb can you be. Well it was to late now. He told them who they were and who the guild leader was. She thought about telling them that Jack worked for the mouse king and has been following them for hours. Then she thought he might be useful. At least he been more useful then Evanora, but not by much. "We do not work for anyone." She did not work for anyone but herself. Evanora was the guild master, but she was never around she might as well not be there. "Evanora is the guild leader, yes, but she went off somewhere, because she cares so much." So far Evanora has been the most useless person she has meant in this guild. Should have lied jack. she thought. She thought about telling them about the size thing, but the less that she told them the better. What was with this whole giving up information thing. If this continued they would not have any bargaining chips. Then Thea told them everything. What was she doing. Well there goes that plan. Then a idea popped in her head. "Thea is lying. I killed everyone. I burnt everything down. I did it. It is nice of you to try and cover for me, but it will be fine." Thea was so young she did not need the blame. The look of fear in her eyes when she told them this. If it was to one person it should be her. What was she doing? "I killed them it was me. Thea and the rest of them had nothing to do with it." She eyed the group telling them not to say anything.
Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41687 She climbed the ladder it just keep going. Then she found herself outside a tree house or in one. She was not really sure. One minute she was climbing a ladder the next they were at a tree house. She was not sure what had happened. Maybe it was some unknown magic. She looked at the ladder burn it down she thought, but she did not have fire magic so there was not really anything that she could do. The nutcracker somehow beat them up the ladder and she was not sure how that happened. She has never been so confused in her life. This mission was so odd. Calling this mission odd was a understatement. Mice more mice, fairies, ladders and what not. This mission made no since and like by magic they were put somewhere else. She did not know what to think. She figured it was best not to question it. The nutcracker asked if they were alright. They were somehow surrounded by men with swords. How this happened had no clue. Then some old man said that they helped fight the Mouse King. What planet did this loony live on. They have not seen the mouse king since drosselmayer's Mansion. Was this man lying to the person he was talking to or was he confused. All that they fought were the Mouse King's forces. Then they wanted to ask questions. She did not know what to say or do. Saying nothing got her no were and talking got her no were, so she did nothing. She just stood there with her arm folded. She was quite frankly tired of this whole thing. Alessia, and Thea said they would answer questions. She sighed. This was a trap. Silvia had said nothing. She was not sue if they should answer any of there questions. She stood there she got away from scarier looking people in her life. "Why should we answer your questions? This was a trap. How do we know that you are not working for the mouse king? He would want to stop us. You set up a trap, something he would do." She gave off that shy look. In short she did not trust these people. She did not trust anyone, but that was not the point. There was one way this might work out. "An answer for a question. You ask your questions and we get the answers we want." This might just work out.
Galuna Island: View attachment 41668 Ander's pov: Ra had healed him. "Thank you." Ra had asked about his leadership he had years ago. "I really do not like talking about it. If You must know we can talk privately." He walked away from the group and Ra soon followed him. They were close enough to the group so that they could see them, but in no way could be heard. "To understand my leadership you need to know my past. Something I do not like talking about." He could not tell Ra everything. He looked at his key around his neck. How could he tell Ra everything? He could not. "Both my parents had no knowledge of magic so when I showed magic they did not know what to do. I once set a chair on fire at the age of one and a half. I miss mom I have no clue were she is. At three I was sent away from my mom and dad to study magic. 13 years ago at the age of 16 I spent my life training, reading, I was the best at the training guild. I Was the youngest wizard ever to develop magic, no one ever herd of someone at the age of one able to use magic." He left out details like were this training guild was and the name of the guild. "I was made leader at the age of 16 eight year ago. I trained since 3 years old. I was 16 and the youngest Mage ever to lead a mission." He stopped here. "I had no childhood I was always reading always trying to get better. It was never good enough for..." For my master. "For him." I was young so much happened since then. "What kind of person grows up with no childhood? I was so young I had no clue what I was doing. I was to lead my first mission that day. Thinking back it was odd that I took so many with me. I had so many with me. He said it was a test. Not to worry about it. It just a simple mission. Or it was sopost to be." He had to be carful on what he told Ra. "I tried not to worry. My best friend at the time was coming with me so it was not all bad. Just to name a few people that went on that mission we had. There was a young boy 13 going on the mission he was always tripping over his shoe laces. I thought the boy would one day get him self killed or others. Also my best friend going with me on the misson." He did not know what Ra was after. "Is there anything else?"
Galuna Island: View attachment 41667 Ander's pov: While he waited for Dale to respond Charlotte said that they did a god job. She then walked over to him and Dale offer her hand to Dale. She then gave a nod that she was ok. Then she said he was right. What was with her? She was always agreeing with him. The stealth option was mostly thrown out the window now. Then Dale got mad. Welp. "We save your butt and this is how you treat us, Me. What is your problem? Then you threaten me? If you touch me, even if you kill me, the guild will find out." Frankly Dale was saying unnecessary things to him and the group. "You Say unnecessary and pointless things that will in no way help me or the group. I tried to be nice to you, but you just like keeping people away. If that what you want then so be it." He was ticked at Dale. "I have more experience then you think, leading a group. It was long ago. I left it by choice. I knew every persons strength and weakness on the team I was on. I knew what they could and could not do. Can you say the same thing for us for me? You call yourself a leader, but do you know anything about us, about me? Your job is to be on top for your game, to keep a eye out, to keep us safe. On your way here you were not even paying attention, you just walked making a ice thing. Yes stuff happens that you could not for see, things that you wish you could prevent. No madder what you do, you can not change what was, was. The past is the history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, that is why it is called the present." Dale had a habit of things happening to him often. "You just have to learn from them and move on. That is all you can do. Stuff happens. No madder how good a leader is or can be things happen." saying the last part with sadness in his voice. He was no way saying he was better then Dale. He did not want Dales job. Leading was hard. "Should have been me." I wish you were here. "Bryce" That battle years ago when he was leader... How that turned out. He was doing everything he could but still every died. Dale was not doing a good job at being a leader or maybe he was by him being captured was he saving them? With that he walked away from Dale and looked for someone else to talk to talk to. Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41665 Jack's pov: He walked up the ladder. Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41666 Sara's pov: She watched Thea get to the ladder. Fear that others could not go up the ladder came to her when Thea got to the ladder. Do not burn it down do not burn it down. Then Thea went up the ladder without it going ablaze. She Then watched Silvia climb the ladder. She listened to Alessia. "Fine as long as..." She did not know what else to say to Alessia. She could feel the anger in her. Talking got her no were and shyness did not work ether. She was not sure what to do. She then watched Alessia climb the ladder. She then walked over to the ladder and thought about her options. Maybe she would be better of dyeing here. With that she took one last look at the nutcracker and climbed the ladder.
Galuna Island: View attachment 41663 Ander's pov: The giant mouse went down. Si. What to do now? The mouse fell over making a loud noise. He looked around to see if anything else was coming. After nothing came he looked around. The giant mouse that fell made a clearing. A few trees layed down from the mouse's fall. The next thing on the list was to find the temple. This was of course after they found Dale. Speaking of Dale were was he? Was he still in there? There was no way he was going near that. Dale was so dumb not paying attention. Then he spotted Dale. He did not like dale, but he should see if he was ok. As he walked towards Dale He spotted a large temple with greenery growing on it. "Are you alright?" He asked Dale. It was time for Dale to get up. "Look the temple." He then pointed at it. "Dale it is time to go." He wondered if Dale was knocked out. It looked around for the others. "Is everyone ok?" The look of concern on his face. This battle had came out of no were and seemed like there maybe more battles to come. Were was the mouse at when they were walking? He herd it before it took Dale, but there should have been more signs. "This was only the first test for what is to come." What else was to come he had no idea. "As we go we should be more carful." He was speaking more to Dale then anyone, but his did not let his voice say this. Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41664 Sara's pov: "You will not be fine. You will die. Let me stay. Clara need you more then she needed me. Why are you staying?" Her voice was full of concern. She did not know what else to say to the nutcracker. Then Jack shoved her toward the ladder. Then he said get up there. "What is your problem. Do you like me or something? Do not tell me what to do." Well this was something new. "I don't like you so keep your hands off me." Anger filled her now. She then slapped him in the face. She hit him hard. The slap making a loud sound. Then she took her knee and aimed it were the sun don't shine, but missed. "Next time I wont miss. So if you value your man goods you will keep your hands off me and stay away from me. If you ever come near me again I will kick your butt." Her voice full of anger. With that she left him and walked away from him. She walked towards Alessia. "Men" What to do with them? She did not know what to say to her so she just stood there slightly.
Drosselmayer's Mansion: Parthenia: View attachment 41661 Sara's pov: ~The days past that she still did not use her bow on a person. Every once and awhile she would got to the local park and practice on the tree. No one ever came by. There was never any chance of hitting anyone because there was never anyone to hit. Late one cold day a man came up to her and asked what she was doing. Over the next few days to weeks he would bring her clothes and food. He never wanted anything in return. He was so odd. She then felt something go past her. A mouse~ The mouse hit her hard, bring her back to what was going on. She looked around. Looking around she did not spot any mice. What had happened to them? The mice that was there before was no were to be seen. How odd she thought. The Peppermint Girl then threw a ladder down. The ladder falling from a near by tree. Then she climbed up the ladder. Then she said that there are more coming. More what? More mice? She was higher u so she could see them. Clara and the gingerbread girl both climbed the ladder. Clara then said something about finding out more information. She was not sure what to do. Then the Nutcracker said that he could also see the mice he called them soldiers in the distance. After that he said that he would keep them off them if they came. The Nutcracker could be useful to the group. There was no way that she was going to let the Nutcracker stay behind. "No." What was she doing? Something bothered her this whole mission. It did not madder what she did. The Nutcracker was more useful than her. So why should he stay? If anyone was going to stay behind it would be her. "No" she repeated. “I will stay and keep the soldiers off of everyone. You are far more useful than me. I will stay behind. Besides Clara needs you." She looked around. In the far distance she could see the soldiers. Then Mizuki had that look what was her deal. She knew that she was doing this for no reason. Then Jack said some thing to Clara. Why did so many people like fighting? She did not like it at all.
