Unfinished Business (Invite)

[Deleted]

Some time after the previous incident with the child of Castator going mad and the finding of odd weapons that changed it, something didn't feel completely right about how it ended. This location was made deliberately, with an intent in mind. If there was a weapon sealed here, it was unaccounted for, and as such there could be a powerful artifact in the wrong hands. He returned to the ruins with Iris in tow and had messages sent out to Sai and Diamond but he wasn't sure if those two would come. Sai he isn't even completely convinced the message got to the intended target. All the same, he had to look into this while he could.



He was in the room with the glyphs, Iris presumably nearby, looking over the area with arcane essence trying to find anomalies or some kind of information. He had the dragon spear attached to his back, feeling as though there was a significance to it. The remains of the mad mage he had burned to ashes because to hell if he would have it turn into a Lich or something.



"There has to be some kind of evidence here of what happened.." he muses aloud.

Sai had gotten the message from Adrain well more like one of her children had intersected the message by showing them the white lily picture to the messenger. She was lucky that the messenger dealt with her before and knew that she didn’t reveal herself but she took all her messages though children who carried the white lily be a real one or a drawing of one. Seeing that it was a matter of important and between her recovering a bit still from the poison even if it was out of her system already. Not wanting to keep Adrain and other waiting she sent a message to Alekir to meet her at the location site before getting everything she needed to get ready for the trip.


Dressed in her normal attire, she took the dagger she had gotten from the mission it was still beautiful even if she couldn’t summon the firebird but even without that she could still use it. Placing it on her belt she took up her other smaller weapons placing them all in they normal places along with the one on her back deciding to carry it in a sheath on her back after seeing someone with the same idea. Once she was done she made sure that her kid had delivered the message and was on her way.


Arriving at the site she looked up at the temple, then entered and hear Adrain say something about evidence as she walked into the room that he was checking out. “Hello Iris, Adrain it’s been a while.” She said as she looked around the room, the glyphs making little sense to her but enough that she knew what most of the symbols meant. “I’m guessing you are looking for something that doesn’t belong,” Sai said as she looked around the room trying to find anything that they might have missed before or even a glyphs that don't seem to belong.

Iris honestly couldn’t have cared less about this blast from the past expedition, but she followed her boss with only one or two complaints- she couldn’t make it easy for him. When he mentioned he was sending word out for their other two companions, Iris laughed quietly to herself, remembering her last memory of Sai.

When they arrived at the temple again, Iris paced around the room, the shield she’d received strapped to her back, the sword Adrain made her at her hip. When the silver haired woman appeared, a wicked grin spread on her face. Helloooo Sai. Long time no see. Iris winked casually wondering how far she could take the secret before Adrian demanded to know- it was fun to bother him.

Diamond had gotten the message and had borrowed one of the better mounts he could from the guard. I made sure to bring the Po Dao sword with him. He grabbed several low quallity crystals before leaving and the total of it was about seven. The white haired captain rode to the spot where the ruins were at. As he got there, he spotted some evidence of people there. He made his way down to the final chameber. Where he saw Adrian, Iris, and Sai "I made good time here......I take it you want to get to the bottom of what that psycho was going on about" he said and saw that the shards of crystals and other materials of that nature. "Ladies you seem well since the last time we were together. And how are you doing Sir Kaiaru" he said to the mage trying not to disturb what he was trying to do. Since he was viewing something at the moment through a magical portal or screen. Diamond was in his normal attire although one major diffrance was that he had the large curved sword on his back to draw it if need be. On closer look, Sai was wearing something diffrent then there last encounter here and Iris looked roughly the same as last time.

When Alekir had gotten Sai's message he was quick to respond. He had thanked the kid for sending the message and quickly rushed off, going to the nearest stable and borrowing one of the horses there. That wasn't the wisest descision due to Alekir's recent financial problems but he would worry about that later. As Alekir got closer to the ruins he began to see people there, the only person he knew there was Sai. Alekir got off the horse and quickly rushed to Sai's side. "H....Hello Sai. I came as soon as I got the message. Why did you want me to meet you here?" As Alekir looked around at the rest of the group he started to get a strong feeling that these people were important. "Hey..uh Sai. Could you possibly introduce me to your....allies? I don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting any of them before."

[Sai]

“Yes, it has been a long-time Iris.” She said catching the wink at the end before looking away from Iris knowing that she was talking about they meeting in the springs last time. It was something that she was hoping to never speak of again given how things turned out in the end. Sai wasn’t going to admit it but she was thankful that Diamond arrived and nodded her head to his greeting happy to see another friendly face that has not seen her naked.



Sai turned just in time and saw Alekir coming in a light blush rose to her cheeks seeing him, she wasn’t sure if he had gotten her message but she was glad he did. Since they were close together Sai reached out grabbing Alekir’s hand because this wasn’t an official job and since everything that has happened she liked having him about and missed his company when he wasn’t around plus this wasn’t an official job per say so she didn’t mind showing a little bit of affection towards Alekir. “Alekir this is Adrain Kaiaru other words, headmaster of the Arch of Ages and a recently be given a duke status or so the rumours say. Then we have Iris she is overly friendly when you get a few drinks in her. Last, we have Diamond, from the rumours I have heard he been appointed Captain of the Rose guard I believe. Everyone this is Alekir he is my…” Sai paused for a moment wondering how to introduce he wasn’t just an ally but he was also her friend but since hanging out with him more she started to develop a feeling for him that still cause confusion within her heart that goes against everything that she had been taught. “partner.” She finally said leaving it open to interpretation on what she meant by partner.



“Uh so Adrain, I hope it is okay that I asked Alekir to meet me here.” She said as she slipped her hand out of Alekir but reminding close to him. It felt strange to her to have someone to rely on when she got into trouble or when she just wanted someone to talk to about the things that she couldn’t tell anyone else. “He can be of great help to us when we find something.”

Once the group had assembled, conveniently enough and seemingly in their own time, Adrain pauses his scanning and looks to them nodding to them all. "I thank you all for coming today. It had bothered me ever since the first encounter here about the promise of some sort of weapon in the wrong hands. I've made my own research but nothing definitive. There are hints and vapors of a relic, but it's enough that makes me highly concerned. If such a weapon were in the wrong hands then tragedy can manifest." he says with a sigh.

"The weapons that we found here seem to have some sort of special role in this. I'm trying to find some sign of tampering or what was once here." he says. Seeing Sai, he tosses a bag toward her, the typical jingle of gold manifest. "Your partner is fine, I will have to get him payment when we return." he says, looking about the room.

"It isn't typical you would throw your life away in the endeavor to get something that didn't have a basis to exist.." he says glancing at the ashes in the corner. "There is bound to be something more here...take a look around, maybe you'll pick up on some subtlety that is the key." he says, turning again and searching for anything out of the ordinary in the mana of the area.

Diamond listens intently when Adrian spoke as to why that they were gathered here. He knew it was there privious job to stop that evil mage from doing whatever he was doing. Although before him was Sai introducing her friend/partner in this case and gave a small wave and nod of acknowlagement. But back to the matter at hand with Adrian and what he wanted to do "May I offer my opinion on this. The weapons we got here are something from the far east. Now I am not any where a expert on magic even though I can handle it very well. But I know some things, each of the creatures that are symbolized on the weapons. Are divine beast of the four cardinal directions and the four major seasons. Catastor must have in his maddening quest must have picked up eastern magic as well. And had an enemy or enemies to chase him this far. They were more then likely trying to use these items to seal Catastor's power or something along those lines. But must have failed if they in bad shape when we got them before getting slightly restored" said Diamond on the matter and was looking over the entire room.

"Anyway........I might want to try something that might give us a clue on what this mystery is. First I want to get all of these crystal shards together in the center of the room" he as there were many in the room. He had used this form of his ability on reflex once. Where he could see the past of the owner of any kind of crystal but never tried on something this extensive.

Iris glanced over as a member join their group; one who hadn’t been there the first time. She nodded as Sai introduced the man, going through the circle to introduce them all to him as well. When she described Iris, a laugh escaped her. Oh honey, that wasn’t because I was drunk. She winked again, making a joke out of it and shaking her head. As Sai paused, Iris arched an eyebrow, both eyebrows going up as she said Partner. Iris let out a low whistle. Congrats man. You somehow managed to get the most emotionless woman in the world to like you. You must be really good in bed. Iris laughed to herself, and would jump away from Sai if the woman came at her.

As Adrain explained why they were there, Iris simply nodded along, already knowing it all; she’d heard Adrain mumble to himself about it for a while now.

Adrain over the next bit of time would help get the crystals together and then piled his contribution in the middle of the room, waiting to see what his magic would do. It was interesting, the form of magic that Diamond seemed to employ, a very earth based form but yet something more to it than mere earth.
