Private/Closed Pokemon Warcraft!

[RenzFlintrock]

Rolen continued to lay on his back, not really noticing anything that was going on. He shifted a bit, even tough it stung, and began to feel a bit better once the stinging died down a bit. He opened his eyes to see an unfamiliar person who he recognized as a Mage or wizard because of he robes the man wore, and a man on the ground who he couldn’t tell anything about, from this angle at least.

Maira looked at he newcomer, her skilled eyes searching for any injuries, but more keenly on the alert for any movements made towards either of her patients.

 

[Hecotoro]

Samantha walked in and saw the new mage. ¨This... pathetic excuse for a human being... tried to help us... but attacked us first... then begged for mercy.¨

Azumi looked at him with suspicious look. ¨Take him along, he might be useful.¨ She looked around. ¨Everyone, let´s move out.¨

Leo ended up carrying Azumi after she almost fell a few times. Samantha assisted anybody who needed it with her wind. The guild walked back under a cloudy weather, which made their trip faster. Once they reached the guild house, Razan had his items and weapons taken away. Leo was to keep him watch while they helped everyone to their spots. Rolan was taken by Sam to his room and Azumi suggested Sarah for her to stay the night in her room just in case. Azumi´s water healing might be useful if she feels pain during the night. Leo volunteered to stay with the guild until Sarah and Azumi, at least, were in better conditions.

Samantha sat in the dinning room alone. Azumi was in her room and who knows where everyone else was. Leo had let the prisoner stay in the raindrop room, seeing as he was not much of a threat.

 

[EmoKitty21]

Sarah smiled at Azumi who asked if she would stay in her room until her back was healed. It was a smart idea. "Yeah I guess I can do that. It might be fore the best."

Amra spent her time in the kitchen she had made some food for the guild. Plating it up she took one to everyone in the guild. She wanted to make sure everyone would recover from their injuries. Deciding that she would stay with Rolen to keep an eye on him, she saved his room for last. "Hey Rolen how are you doing? Is there anything you might need?"

Phoenix walked back with the guild. Guiding Sass along the way. The large Mightyena had the injured mage on her back. Taking their time as to not jar the poor guy. When they reached the guild Phoenix and Sass made sure to gently get Rolen back to his room and on the bed to recover. Taking the time to find Azumi, he wanted to ask what was on his mind. "Azumi I was wondering if you could sit down and talk about me wanting to join. I know I am not the best fighter, but I have other skills that might be helpful to everyone here."

 

[Hecotoro]

Azumi was sitting down on her bed, healing her abdomen, which was not majorly injured but it did have some bruises. She looked up at Phoenix. ¨Of course you are more then welcome to join us. It doesn´t really matter what skills you have, but out of curiosity, what skills might those be? I need to know for future arrangements. Unless, you are too tired, we can talk about this any time. You can take any room at the lower hall, where the newbies sleep.¨ She looked over at Sarah. ¨I had Leo bring your bed. He is really nice today, I mean he always is, but he never goes out of his way to help a guild like this.¨

Samantha ate the food slowly in the dinning room. She looked up at the webbed hole Wes had left. She sighed and continued to eat. She didn´t really get along with anyone but Azumi and just when she was beginning to understand Wes, he left. She now hoped Azumi would be out of action so she can keep her company until she finds someone new to talk to.

 

[EmoKitty21]

"Well I have a nack for making devices that tend to do damge to things. I am working on a way to make it so no one who innocent to be harmed by some of them. I want to make sure nothing like what happened today happens again. I also am able to make potions that are more on the explosive side of things. I used to work in a circus when I was younger as a performer and tightrope walker. Most of the time my balance is good, but I was a bit distracted while walking." Phoenix still felt bad about all of the damage he had caused to guild members.

 

[Hecotoro]

Azumi smiled, the way someone smiles when they see a cute puppy. ¨I think it´s wonderful you face your consequences. I would love a member like you with us. Go ahead and choose an empty room downstairs, tomorrow I will announce you to the others. It is an honor to have you join us. If you are hungry, Amra made some food I´m sure you will love!¨ Azumi smiled but she was crying from the inside as she wanted to let her sore body rest.

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Rolen was asleep by the time Amra reached his room. At some point Maira must have been in, because the smell of sleep-well herb was filling the air. Rolen seemed to be dozing peacefully, while Faze was floating in one of the corners. He had stayed at the guild during the entirety of the last mission.

Maira had thanked Amra when the elf brought around some food. The healer was feeling pretty tired, so even though she had slept some while they were in the desert she decided it would be a good idea to get some rest. Maybe her magic would be back to normal if she rested for a little while, and then she could treat Rolen and Sarah’s burns better.

 

[JayBird Joe]

Razan put his head in his hands. He then looked up to Leo. “Your that one mage from the council right? I guess I’ve got some explaining to do.”

Razan started at the beginning.
“Two years ago, I was in the desert going to a desert village that was in desperate need of water. Since I am s weather mage, and I have a Castform, I could make rain for them. But when I got there.....” he shook his head as to get the images out of his head. “They has already been there. And they found me, and took me as their slave, only because of my magic.”

He then looked up and continued,
“My one chance to escape was when the Stormbreakers came to destroy the mine. I needed to pretend I was with the X group by fighting against the guild, but when I saw my chance to fight the others, I took it. Then that scythe girl came out and tried to kill me. All I wanted was freedom. And them to die. It’s what they deserve.”

 

[EmoKitty21]

Phoenix walked down to the lower floor. Finding a room where no one used currently was a little hard, but he did eventually find a room. He started to unpack some of his belongings. It did not take him long. Taking out his flute he started to play a soft melody.

Sarah laid down and rested her head on the pillow. She wanted to go to sleep but was afraid that the nightmares would return.

 

[Hecotoro]

"I see..." Leo responded to Razan. "Still not the information I'm looking for and it is getting late. We can talk about this later. It will be up to Azumi if she wants to keep you here or I can take you in to the Grand Court." He left Razan in that room and went to look for one of his own.

Azumi had fallen asleep as soon as Phoenix had left. Nana curled up next to her. Azumi, probably still asleep, got up a few times to use her water healing in Sarah's burns. Samantha eventually sneaked into the room and curled up with Azumi and Nana. There was some flute music coming from the room behind hers and she couldn't sleep.

At dawn, Azumi was still asleep. It was Nana who woke up. She made her way downstairs where there was oatmeal and fruit salad prepared. She began to eat as Anakin joined her. After she ate she sent a message to everyone.
"Good morning! Meeting!"

Azumi got up, she saw Samantha next to her drooling and Sarah still in bed, although she couldn't tell if she was awake. It took her a while to realize Nana had called the meeting. She treated Sarah's wounds again, she couldn't remember if she did during the night or not, and then got dressed. She shook Samantha awake before stepping out.
"Good morning Stormbreakers! Meeting room!" She called out. She was in terrible pain, but had to at least carry out the meeting for today.
She made her way down to the raindrops hall. "Meeting Raindrops!" She called out.
She reached the meeting room and sat down, realizing that Leo was already there, eating oatmeal. "The dinning room is upstairs." Azumi said.

Leo smiled. "Well... I didn't know since you never game a tour." He said as he chewed.

"Finish chewing first." Azumi replied.

Leo purposely began to chew loudly. "Life dis?"

Azumi laughed. "So immature." She noticed a bag with a few bottles in them and some envelopes. "What is all this?"

Leo swallowed his food. "5 holy Waters and some lower rank missions. You guys are off the hook from heavy stuff after yesterday. When the king heard my report he gave me the waters and assigned these missions." He smiled proudly. "Plus, I have to stay here with you until you are better to go back into the field."

Azumi looked annoyed. "I don't need the Grand Court babysitting me. I can handle things with Sarah's help." She took the bag and began going through the envelopes. "These are interesting missions though..."

Leo continued to eat. "It wasn't the Grand Court. It was my idea. With Emma gone, You're injured and so is the Red Rose, I figured you needed some help."

Azumi stopped listening as she read through the new missions and waited for the rest.

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Rolen groaned as he heard the call for a meeting. He had had a bad night, with his side constantly stinging as he breathed, and he had been forced to lay on his back because laying on either side made it sting badly. However, he had to get up. And so a few minutes later Rolen walked into the meeting room, making his way painfully over to his seat and sitting down. He gave Azumi a nod, and nodded at Leo as well even though he didn't recognize the man.

Maira also made her way down to the meeting room. Her face was rather tired looking, but she had had a better night than Rolen. She plunked down in a chair, feeling pretty hungry but determined to wait until the meeting was over.

 

[JayBird Joe]

Tyler summoned himself and leaned over Azumi. “Mmm...interesting.....” He said with a smile on his face. “What do ya think of that mage we picked up? He’s kinda weird ya know?”

Razan heard the call for a meeting and made his way down to the meeting room and decided to stand. Castform rested on his shoulder, while Flygon was outside.

 

[Hecotoro]

Azumi greeted Rolan and Maira as they walked in. She looked up at Tyler. ¨I´m glad you are doing better. I don´t know, haven´t met him really.¨ She replied to his question.

She stood up, slowly and carefully, to avoid more pain. Samantha walked in and sat next to Maira. Azumi cleared her throat and addressed everyone. ¨Good day everyone. You all have noticed that Wes and Esa are no longer with us. The reason for them leaving is unknown. We have Phoenix, a new mage and Razan, who we are not sure if he will be part of the guild yet or not. Because of my injuries, Leo here is going to stay with us for a while.¨ She stopped talking as she looked through the envelopes. ¨Before we continue though, I would like to congratulate Amra and Rolan. They have shown great skill and decision making, they have stood with us despite the terrible luck that we have had in the last days. Therefore, they are now full members of the guild, Stormbreakers.¨ Azumi´s voice began to break. ¨They are the first ever raindrops to graduate into Stormbreakers and I speak for everyone when we say we are really proud of them.¨ She cleared her throat. ¨Of course they will have a proper celebration, but me and Sarah have to figure that out.¨ She smiled proudly at Rolan and Amra. ¨Congratulations you two!¨

Samantha clapped softly while Leo clapped loud and fast. Even Nana appeared, and offered them a cookie. Azumi waited for everyone to admire the current news before she continued. ¨Also, we got a gift, 5 holy waters. Two are for Rolan and two for Sarah. The last one will be stored in case of an emergency. They should remove the pain for a long period of time, hopefully until you are completely healed.¨ She pointed at the bottles on the table. ¨Now, of course we still have jobs to do, part of being a guild, but we have much simpler missions this times. No travel necessary, all withing the city. I have read through the information and have assigned teams. I apologize beforehand if you do not like who you were assigned with, but it was based on my judgment. Amra and Leo, you two will have the mission to escort the family treasure.¨ Nana retrieved the envelope and gave it to Amra. ¨It is the most important one we received and gave to the two members more fit for it.¨ She got another envelope. ¨The missing fiance, the title explains the mission, is for Sarah and Razan. I decided on an expert on this kind of situations and of course assign the one person we still have to keep an eye on.¨ She looked at Razan. ¨Sorry but I still can´t decide what to do with you, I hope you understand.¨ She grabbed the next envelope. ¨Next we have a case of a farmer who is reporting something is stealing his sitrus berries. I got our plant expert Maira on this case and Sam. Maira needs a good body guard while she looks into the situation.¨ She took out the last one. ¨Last but not least, Rolan and Phoenix will go look for a missing magic book that seems to be very rare. Two mages should be able to assist with this.¨

Azumi sat down, she was tired of standing. ¨That would be all everyone, you should leave as soon as possible. I will stay here with Tyler, in case anything is needed.¨ Nana gave out the envelopes to the teams assigned to them.

Samantha got up with a lazy attitude. She looked at Maira. ¨Want to... have breakfast first... partner?¨ She walked over to the dinning room and served herself some oatmeal.

 

[JayBird Joe]

Tyler did a little dance in midair. “Yeah! Finally I get a break!” He looked to Azumi. “I be makin breakfast for ya. Got more time to think about better ideas for stuff...” He zones out for a while.

Razan shrugged. “Fine with me. I’d be happy you guys out.” He looked at the floor for a while. “There is one thing I do need though.......” He said quieter, looking at all the people in the room, “I need a magically enhanced glass box with a lid.”

He realized how stupid it sounded, and then started to explain. “The enhancement need to be weather trapping of sorts. You see, my Castform changes weather sometimes by his own preference, or what he think he will enjoy. But that leads to weather not appropriate to the mission or whatever circumstance we are in. He can go inside his box, and make whatever he wants without harming anybody.” He closed his eyes for a few seconds, and then reopened them. “I can’t preform the magic myself, but you or you might.” He said pointing at Leo and Rolen.

Tyler listened to Razan carefully. He understood what he meant by being a slave. He was practically one himself, well, in a way. He was forced to be in a coin as a slave was forced to work. Thinking of the coin, Tyler thought back to when Azumi said Tyler’s coin might be better in a necklace. Hmmmmmmmm........
Tyler disappeared into the coin. He floated back a little, and pushed the wall with all his might, using his flying powers as well. From outside the coin, the coin was jangling in Azumis pocket, and fell out and hit the ground with a soft clang. Tyler grinned in success. The coin began to move very slowly across the floor, and then went under the door, and soon, all the way into Tyler’s room where Jerry and Octo-Bug were. Tyler pushed the coin up onto the anvil, and then summoned himself, sweating. “All right, we are gonna make a necklace outta this. Don’t worry, your not taking it, just reshaping it, so you should be fine.” He said to his Pokémon.

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Rolen got a slightly surprised look on his face. He was not expecting anything like this... it had only been, what, two or three days since he joined the guild. And he hadn't been particularly useful... but he wasn't going to refuse the promotion. He had his doubts, but he began to feel a flush of pride as the others clapped. He took a quick glance at Amra to see how she was feeling about this, then turned his attention back to Azumi so he could receive his assignment.

***************

Maira nodded to Sam and followed her to breakfast. She would normally have been a lot more enthusiastic, but she was too hungry just then. She was looking forwards to this mission, hopefully she might be able to keep a few berries for herself. She would ask permission, of course. Sitrus berries were not very common in the forests which she usually went to in search of herbs, but they could certainly be useful.

 

[EmoKitty21]

Sarah took the envelope and looked to Rolen. She motioned him to follow her. She had a gift for him. She waited until he followed her to her potion room of the side of the meeting room. She was still a little stiff going, but better after Azumi's healing waters. She opened a cabinet and pulled out a wrapped package. "I thought you could use this. I had planned to do this from the beginning for whoever is the first mage to make it to full Stormbreaker status. Use it with care." Within the same cabinet she pulled out a glass box. This she brought back to meeting room. She placed this in front of Razan. "This will meet your requiremenrs for a containment of your Castform. The only thing I ask is that you return it back to me after the mission."

Amra smiled at Rolen. Going up to him and pulling into a hug. She was careful not to touch any of his burns. "I am proud of you. You will do great things. Now remember once we get a break from missions I am teaching you how to use a dagger and throwing knives at least. It would be better to have you fully prepared for anything." Turning to Leo after the hug. "Well looks like you get to see some of our skills up close. Flare is rested and will need to be taken on a mission. This will be her first, but I am sure she will be up for it."

Phoenix looked to the guy the elf girl hugged. So that is Rolen. Wlaking up he spoke to the guy. "I guess we will be working together. My name is Phoenix by the way."

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Rolen was about to follow Sarah when Amra enveloped him in a hug. It stung, but he returned it. His voice was a bit shaky when he spoke.

"...Thank you.."

After the hug was over he smiled at her and then went to see what Sarah wanted. Pheonix came up behind him while he was waiting to see what Sarah was getting out of the closet and introduced himself, so Rolen turned around and nodded, taking a quick glance at the man before introducing himself.

"Rolen Nailoen. I look forward to working with you..."

With that he turned around to receive the package from Sarah. He tried to say thank you, but he couldn't seem to form any words. Between all the emotions of promotion, and friendship, and... and the pain in his side, he was having some trouble. He nodded, hoping Sarah would understand, and then hobbled out of the room.

 

[Hecotoro]

Azumi laughed at Tyler´s dance. She didn´t mind the coin had been taken away, it was safe. She got up again and walked to Rolan and Amra, shaking both their hands. ¨Now you have full member authorities, which means you can reject anything assigned to you or take days off whenever you want. I hope you two enjoy this place as much as I do.¨

¨Sounds great!¨ Leo responded to Amra as he got up and stretched. ¨We should meet downtown 10 minutes before the escort. I´ll help Azumi to her room.¨

¨I don´t need he...¨ Azumi began to say but Leo scooped her up and carried her away, while Azumi complained.

Samantha finished eating and looked up at Maira. ¨I´m ready whenever you want, I´m just here to make sure nobody kills you.¨ She dragged herself off the table and went to her room to change and get ready.

 

[JayBird Joe]

Tyler looked down at his creation. The necklace was designed after Azumis element water, and the coin was shaped into a rain drop. A golden one. He hoped she would like it, Azumi had said herself she preferred silver. He went back into the coin, and slid it to Azumis location on the ground.

Razan smiled, he had been brought exactly what he wanted. ¨Thank you.¨ He said to Sarah. He opened the lid, and Castform slipped in. It was a perfect fit. ¨Wonderful.¨ He said to his Pokemon. ¨All we need is that enchantment.

*******************************

It felt that CrossBlade had been flying with Duoblade and Haxorus forever. They soon came to a town, and stopped there. It was nice, and he seemed to be in the downtown area. He noted that there were several guilds nearby, but they were probably low rank guilds. Certainly not home to any Stormbreakers. But he didn't know that for sure.
He found an Inn to stay in, but on the way in, he found a WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE poster for him. He secretly ripped it off the wall, and put it in his pocket. Surely these people didn't pay attention to those. He checked into his room, and slowly fell asleep.

 

[Hecotoro]

Azumi sat on her bed when she noticed the necklace. She picked it up. ¨How did this get here? Maybe Sarah or Sam dropped it...¨ She placed it over her night stand and looked at Anakin, who was sitting on the open window. ¨What am I suppose to do? I have to rest, but it is ever so boring here...¨

Samantha had finished getting ready and was now standing by the entrance. Bob, her Rattata, chewed on a cookie she had found.

Leo reached the entrance also. ¨Hey there! Wow you haven´t changed at all. You look like a 12 year old girl. But... somehow are scarier then one...¨ Leo noticed Samantha´s death stare and laughed. ¨Well I got to go!¨ He left the guild house and headed downtown.

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Maira finished eating breakfast, feeling a lot better once she had something in her. She skipped over to her room to grab her bag, and then met Sam by the entrance.

“Ready! You have the directions, right?”

***************

Rolen made his way to his room. He closed the door behind him and stood for a few minutes, just trying to work through things. After a few minutes he calmed himself down enough to remember he was still holding the package Sarah had given him. He quickly shook himself and began to open the package, which was rather bulky. When he had it open he spread out the contents on the bed, and began to go through them. There were several pairs of light armor, which he recognized as Warcaster armor. He decided to put this aside for now, and picked up a spellbook and a large pouch. The former held many Evocation and Abjuration spells, and the later was filled with materials needed to cast the spells in the book. He sat thinking for a moment, then packed all the spellbooks into his bag: his own, the one from Amra, and the new one from Sarah. He almost decided to try on the Warcaster armor, but just trying to put it on caused his side to sting.

Soon he had everything packed, and went back out to find Phoenix. He had Faze with him for this mission, and the Abra was currently curled up in Rolen’s bag. It was bulging much more than usual, between the spellbooks and the Abra, the waterflask, and all the other things that he had on him just in case.

 

[JayBird Joe]

Tyler summoned himself from the necklace he made from the coin. ¨Its the coin silly!¨ He said to Azumi, ¨Made it from the coin cause I heard you talking about how you wanted a necklace instead of coin. I know that you will be bored, but we can go out to town and do fun stuff!¨ He scratched the back of head. ¨Hmmm.....now what do you like to do in your free time......¨ He suddenly laughed. ¨I guess we have been so busy we haven't done anything fun. I mean, we can play cards and stuff, but what exactly can you do with a freakin ghost?¨ He smiled at Azumi. He knew that she needed to rest, but that didn't mean they couldn't have fun. She really did need it. ¨Or, we can take the other option of you practicing summoning me for battle, that way if we get chaught up in battle and you need me, you will be used to it and hopefully not pass out.¨ He did a flip in midair, and landed upside down on the roof, so that he was standing on it. He let go, and started floating down, and eventually hit the floor, and then got back up again.
Razan didn't really need anything. Just the box and his Pokemon. He didn't really know who his partner was, so he went up to Sarah and greeted her with a smile. ¨Greetings Stormbreaker. I hope that we will be successful in this journey together.¨ He said.

 

[EmoKitty21]

Sarah gave the new mage a look. Not knowing if he was dense or did not here what she had said. "Razan, this box is already enchanted to hold things like storms and other magical and pokemon phenomenon. That is why I said I want it back after this mission. That means you run off with it. I will hunt you down and take care of you myself."

Phoenix had everything that he would need for the mission. With a small screwdriver in his hand he worked on a small device. He hoped to make it safer for others. His Flareon, Flare, was by his side. He was a little startled as Rolen showed up. He dropped the screwdriver but the device was in his hand. Bending down he picked up the screwdriver and put it and the device away. "Yeah I am ready to go whenever you are."

Amra walked past Leo. Walking to the stable where Flare was stationed for the time being. Rubbing her shiny coat. "Hey girl you ready for this? You are going on your first mission with me."

 

[JayBird Joe]

Razan stepped back and had a, ¨OK OK OK I WONT TAKE IT¨ face. ¨I was going to give it back to you, jeez..¨ Razan looked at the floor. He was a little upset that he and this girl was not getting along already. They hadn't been on the mission yet, and he was already being threatened. ¨I am sorry if I intruded on the guild or anything, but congrats....¨ He said to Sarah with an apologetic tone.

 

[Hecotoro]

Azumi smiled at Tyler´s enthusiasm. She couldn´t go downtown because of her condition so she avoided the subject. ¨I´m sorry there isn´t much we can do, I´m kind of stuck here meanwhile. But I really like the necklace. It´s really pretty.¨ She put the necklace on. ¨I don´t think I should be wasting my energy right now. But, I could use help getting ready for Rolan´s and Amra´s celebration.¨

¨Nope!¨ Samantha said as she walked out. Maira was way to bubbly for her. ¨It should be on here though.¨ She held up the envelope. Bob snickered on Samantha´s shoulder. On the whole trip, Samantha did not talk, just nod at whatever was told to her.

They arrived at a farm that had many trees with different berries on them. There was a house made out of wood and white paint that had began to peel off. There was a man with a big bushy black mustache and worn down overalls standing by the trees.

Samantha looked at Maira. ¨You´re up.¨


Leo had was sitting with his day form Lycanroc on the edge of a fountain. He had changed into a simple shirt and pants, but carried a golden staff on his back. The Lycanroc sat attentively with it´s ears perked up and watching everyone passing by.

 

[EmoKitty21]

Sarah smiled at Razan. She softened her voice. "Good I won't want to do anything hasty. Besides I just wanted to make sure you were on the up and up. Come on we better get going. I am going to go see if Azumi will let me return your things back to you." Sarah walked up to Azumi's room and knocked on her door.

Amra led Flare to where Leo was. She made to have some things for the journey. "I am ready when you are. Flare has not have been on a mission yet. She has been resting for a few days because of the journey down here."

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Rolen nodded to Phoenix and motioned for him to follow. He opened the letter as he walked, going over the details and then handing it to Phoenix so he could see it too.

***************

Maira had chattered most of the way to the farm, not noticing that Sam wasn’t really responding. When they reached the farm, Maira approached the man with the bushy moustache, giving him a cheery wave.

“Hi! I’m Maira, and this is Sam, we’re from the Stormbreaker’s guild. We recieved a mission to help locate missing Sitrus berries, this is the place, right?”

 

[Hecotoro]

Azumi was busy writing ideas as what would be the proper food to serve at a celebration party. It was basically an essay now, but she was inspired. She heard the door knock. ¨Come in!¨ She called out without looking away from her writing.



Leo got up and stretched. ¨Well she looks really fast. Which means you will follow and I will have to ride with the customer...err... jewels, whatever.¨

Just then a butler approached them. ¨Are you the Stormbreakers?¨

¨Yes we... I mean, she is! I´m just filling in.¨ Leo replied awkwardly.

The butler gave him a weird look. ¨Follow me, she is waiting. We parked the chariot over there.¨ He signaled across the street. There was a purple chariot that had silver linings and decorations. The butler had them follow until they reached the chariot, there were 2 Mudsdale on the rails. ¨Who will be riding with the chariot?¨

Leo nodded. ¨That´s me.¨ Leo got on the driver´s sit. ¨So just over to the next town right? Seems simple.¨

¨Maker sure to feed her a snack on the way.¨ The butler said.

¨Of course... wait what? Feed the jewels?¨ Leo asked confused.

The butler opened the door to the chariot. Inside there was a Meowth licking it´s paws, it had a golden collar that had many different jewels on it. ¨Make sure she gets a snack or she will get cranky.¨ The butler closed the door and gave Amra an envelope. ¨The address is here. Make sure Jewels gets to her master, he misses her terribly.¨

Leo looked at Amra confused. ¨Well, plot twist!¨ He joked and waited for her instructions.



The man looked at Maira and fixed his sun hat. ¨Well they went n sent a couple of young ladies! Y´all gonna need more to solve this a mightey case.¨ He adjusted his overalls and led Samantha and Maira to a row full of Sitrus trees. ¨Y´all see how there´s so many missing berries? It´s crazy, mustn been some of those Ursarings I saw the other day.¨

Samantha looked around. There were half eaten sitrus berries all over the place. She looked over at Maira. ¨What do... you think?¨

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Maira stood quietly, looking at the berries. She didn’t think that it could be Ursaring behind this, they would have eaten whole berries and brought the others back to their dens, unless she was mistaken. If it was Ursaring, they would be in trouble. And angry Ursaring was not something she thought they could handle alone. Hearing Sam’s question, she looked at her teammate and grinned.

“Seems more like a Pachirisu or maybe a flying type to me... but if it is an Ursaring we need to be careful.”

With this Maira began investing around the trees, looking for any footprints, fur, or other clues that might help her. Of course, she might not be able to tell exactly what it was by a single footprint or scrap of fur, but she could get a feel for what they were looking for.

***************

Rolen led the way to the address given in the quest. He knocked on the door and waited for an answer.

 

[EmoKitty21]

Walking Sarah watched Azumi plan something on paper. "If you want some gift ideas look down in my potions room. I have them labeled. There is also some other things that might catch your interest in there as well. I do have something with you name on it. I wanted to wait until we throw their party to give it to you. Now on to what I wanted to ask. Since Razan here is a mage. I was wanting permission to get his things back to him so he can preform some of his spells in a pinch."

Amra saddled up on her shiny Rapidash. She leaned forward and rubbed Flare's neck. The Rapidash winnied at the feeling on her neck. She loved when Amra petted her. Seeing the look on Leo's face she had to laugh. This would be something a noble would have done. "Well it is not unheard of for someone to want to protect their pokemon. This one seems well loved. We better head out so we can be there on time. Here this might be to Jewels liking." She tossed a bag filled with homemade treats made with fresh berries.

Phoenix walked along with Blaze and Rolen. He would make small talk. "Hey Rolen I never did say sorry for hurting you before at the mines. I never meant to drop the device I was working on. I was trying to make something that would help guilds on missions with things that could not be harmed other ways. I really am sorry."

 

[JayBird Joe]

Razan followed Sarah to Azumis room, where he saw Tyler. ¨Hey, you must be Tyler! CrossBlade talked about you.¨
Tyler's face now showed annoyance. ¨Really......how wonderful to have a caring uncle.....¨ He said sarcastically.
Razan gulped and realized that it wasn't the time or the topic to talk about right now.

Tyler went out to the training ground and pretended to punch things. A pang came to his head. He held it, but it went away. Was he sensing something? No, probably not. But there was a possibility. But the only thing he ever sensed was.......................................

CrossBlade.................................

Tyler shook his head to himself. No, surely it couldn't be..................

 

[Hecotoro]

"Oh no I didn't get you anything!" Azumi said a little disappointed since Sarah didn't have a gift. "Well I guess it's okay, with you watching him there shouldn't be any trouble." She glared at Razan when he mentioned Crossblade. "Any information on him I need to know." She turned her attention back to Sarah. "Anyways, it should be fine. By the way, do you think we should serve wine or tea? I'm thinking wine is more appropriate."


Leo rode the chariot of out town. The road was long and was in the middle of an opened field, so it was almost impossible for an ambush. He looked over at Amra who was easily keeping up on Flare. "You know, I swear I've seen you before. But I can't quite remember where. Did you ever go to a dance with the Grand Court or the King?"


Samantha followed Maira until she noticed something odd. There seemed to be the a large blade, like a sword, but with no handle, stuck to a tree and a few scattered around. She picked one up and showed it to Maira. "There's... Swords. Bandits?"


A girl about 15 years old and a little taller then Samantha opened the door to Rolan and Phoenix. She had a pink mage robe, pink hair and red glasses. She looked at the mages confused. "Yes? Did you need something? The book store is closed." She pointed up at a worn out sign that could rarely be read.

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Rolen was about to ask Phoenix what he was talking about when the door was opened and the pink-clothed Mage looked out. Rolen gave a quick appraising glance and then responded, Boeing slightly as he spoke.

“Hello, we are from the Stormbreaker’s Guild, and we were given a mission to recover a spellbook. This is the address we were given.”

***************

Maira was looking around a few trees away when Sam showed her the metallic object. She took a glance at it, sliding her finger along the smooth part.

“I’m no weapons expert... but this isn’t a sword. It looks kinda like a scale to me, maybe... let’s show it to the farmer, maybe he’ll know what it is?”

 

[Hecotoro]

The pink mage's eyes brightened with joy when she heard Rolan's words. "Ohohohoh! Yay! I didn't think anyone would come over!" She pulled Rolan and Phoenix in.
Inside it was a small room with a spiral staircase alone the edge of the walls going four floors higher up. The walls were all filled with many different books. The floor had a few desks that were buried under many books and it has hard to move along them. The pink mage quickly removed some books from a table and two chairs.
"Please sit! I will get you some tea." She ran to the kitchen and came back quickly with two cups. She set them down for Rolan and Phoenix. "My name is Anette! I am the librarian here. Um... Well what's left of it. After they opened the new one downtown, it's been going bad for us." She laughed nervously. "But! I still have hope people will come read the classics and not just focus on the new stuff." She stopped for a second. "Are you two real mages? I looove mages. That's why I dress like one, cuz you know..." She stopped again, then continued. "The mission! Right! So... I had this book, special edition, that was writing more then two hundred years ago, in Latin and I was working in figuring it out, cuz you know, I don't know Latin. Anyways, I always always always keep it next to my night stand." She pointed across the room where a small bed was and a small night stand next to it. The only part of the room not filled with books. "So... I went to sleep, heard a crash and by the time I woke up and got some light, it was gone!"


Samantha turned around but the farmer had left. "Right... I'll keep it meanwhile." She told Maira. "Should we... Set a trap?"

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Rolen sipped his tea, looking around the shelves and shelves of books visible from his seat. He liked this place, and he felt he would enjoy searching through the books there. He turned his attention back to the girl, pondering the situation.

“Well, yes, I’m a Wizard. So, Anette, you said it was on that stand, you heard a crash and then it was gone? Do you think it was a burglar?”

***************

Maira looked hesitant. She didn’t care for traps, she had come across Pokémon in severe pain from traps set by people, and it was always sad. Sometimes they had to be amputated... but Sam probably just meant an ambush.

“Uh, okay. Hm... let’s find a place where we can watch what’s happening without being seen. We can find out who, or what, is doing this and then decide from there.”

 

[Hecotoro]

Annette's eyes widen with Rolan's question. "Oh my! A burglar?! While I was here sleeping! That is sooo scary!" She looked around in panic. "I need to lock this place better! I sometimes forget to lock the door because I don't want any customers thinking we are closed. I probably fell asleep. I didn't see anything though, it was all dark and I was sleepy. Everything was normal, except the book missing oh and a pile of books had been knocked down. My little Fifi didn't notice nothing either." She pointed at her bed again and there was a small Skitty sleeping under the blankets.
Anette began to look nervous. "Oh I was hoping the book was special and it would attract people back here."


Samantha smiled at Maira. "You mean... Sit around doing nothing until something happens?... I'm starting to... Like you." She used her wind magic and sent herself and Maira up on a tree. "We can't... Be seen here." She used her scythe to cut down a pile of sitrus berries. "Trap... Ready."

 

[EmoKitty21]

"Well if you wanted to I can see what I can cone up with to make sure the door is locked while you are alseep, but will let the person who is a customer know that you will get back to them. Actually it would be quite simple really. I can create a set of devices that will let them know when you are awake and ready for business. It will also make sure the door is locked along with keeping a log of who was there and what time they showed up. This way you can go to sleep and still let people come when you please, but keep the books safe. I can teach you how to run it once I have it built." Phoenix had taken out a notebook and pencil. Working on a prototype of the alarm system. Thinking it might be a great addition to the guild as well. He drew up plans for it while taking notes of the mission.

Amra smirked at this guy. If recognized who she was then maybe this guy was more then she thought. "It might be because I have been to grand court ball as well have attended some of the more fanciful parties that the King has thrown over the years. I might not be someone who you would normally see there, but when I was there I have had to wear more formal dresses which I hate. If you are still wondering who I am my name is Amra Stormbrew. My mother is the queen of the elven kingdom just north of this one. About three days ride to the guild."

 

[RenzFlintrock]

Rolen sat still, thinking over the problem. If the book was valuable, then it would have been a primary target for a thief, and the knocked over books she had mentioned were in favor of the thief theory. Of course, it could also be explained naturally, perhaps it had just been a bit off-balance and fallen over... but it certainly was suspicious. He began thinking of any spells that might help him find a missing object. He was sure there was some sort of divination or scrying magic that could help, but he didn’t know where to find the spell or if he could even preform it. He decided to ask a few questions for the time being.

“Could you please tell me what the book looked like? Size, shape, color, decoration? Anything that might help us identify it if we find it.”

***************

Maira felt a bit wierd as Sam lifted them into the tree, but quickly settled down once she was seated in a branch. She patted the tree, and then stared out into the garden, awaiting developments. She was already getting bored, but she had to be quiet and still if she didn’t want to give away their location.

 

[JayBird Joe]

Razan was listening around to conversations until he got bored. He went outside and started doing a few movement, and a nice breeze picked up. “Ah, much better.” He said to himself. He carried Castform and rode on Flygon, but waited outside for Sarah to come. He was eager to start the mission, mainly because it had no idea whatsoever with the dreaded Organization X.
“Hey Sarah! We going to leave?” He shouted out to the guild building.

Tyler has gotten tired of pretend punching, and went back inside to Azumi. “Hey Azumi? I have these weird pangs in my head sometimes, not exactly sure what they are, but it always happens before CrossBlade shows up.....” Tyler looked back to Azumi. “Nah, it’s probably nothin..” he said as he put hands in front of him. Tyler turned around and put his hand on his forehead. He winced in pain as another similar pang came to his head, but tried to hide it from Azumi. He didn’t want her to see him in pain, she already was in pain.

 

[Hecotoro]

Azumi gave Tyler a weird look. "Are you okay? Anything related to Crossblade I need to know, no matter how small the details."

Anette looked confused at what Phoenix was saying. "Well okay, sure but um I don't know how that retrieves the book..." She then looked at Renz. "It was dark gray with a black lock on it." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small octagonal shaped item. She held it up to Renz and Phoenix. "You twist it..." She turned part of the octagonal and 5 spikes came out, making it look like a star, except each spoke had different patterns on the sides. "You place it on the lock and turn it and it unlocks, so um..." She gave it to Phoenix, seeing how he liked gadgets. "Whoever has the book they can't open it. Oh and it said..." She stopped trying to remember. "It says... Life and Death go hand to hand. Something like that, my Latin is bad."


Leo was amazed by what Amra said. "No way! That's you? I remember now! I thought you were all..." He stopped to think. "Stuck up, fancy wandy, know what I mean? Now I see you here kicking butt and that's amazing! Seriously you look way better in your current you then back then. You had this look that said I hate everyone, but now you look happy. Your parents must be proud. I know I would be." He smiled and turned back to road ahead. There was a giant boulder coming up. "10 coins of gold says there are bandits behind that boulder!"
