    Job Details:

    It was a normal day in Magnolia the only difference was that Nightken was heading to the Spooky Forest to deal with a witch that is causing trouble for a merchant in Haunted Village. He sat at the train station to take the train to Clover Town then was going to travel to the village on foot. "Hmm... hope Tenshu is going to be alright he hasn't been acting like his usual self." He said aloud with his mind somewhere else. The train didn't take more than ten minutes of him waiting at the station to show up. Once he took his seat on the train he decided to take a nap since it was going to be several hours before he gets there. While he was asleep he had a dark dream about his demon side destroying the guildhall and watching it burn to the ground while laughing like a psychopath. Waking up he was pale white in appearance for a bit before the color came back to his skin. "That will never happen I refuse to let it." He muttered to himself before the announcement of them arriving in clover town in a few minutes. Clover town was its usual busy self as always making it so travel through the town was difficult to say the least. After about ten minutes of getting through the crowds Nightken was out of Clover Town and started to walk towards the Haunted Village. Taking this walk as a way to clear his head of that nightmare he focused on the task at hand with that being witch hunting. "It has been a long time since I've fought a witch this should be pretty good." He thought to himself as the Haunter Village came in sight. He noticed someone standing in front of the village which he figured was the client. "You must be one of the people who agreed to help me out I'm truly thankful for you to take the time to come out here." The merchant said to Nightken as he walked up to the village. "One of? How many people agreed to this job?" He asked the merchant a bit confused since his job notice didn't say anything about other people, but it didn't matter since having some extra people will make this job much easier to complete. "There is three more people showing up if you'd like you can take a seat while we wait." Taking him up on his offer Nightken sat on a stump that was nearby and waited for the other three people to show up.

    It was breathtaking up here on the rooftop of her guildhall, Sabertooth. The silver-haired mage took a huge intake of air whilst staring straight up at the clouds drifting by. The sight never bored her. Sighing heavily, Hika placed her hand beneath her head and wondered how to pass the day quicker. Then, a pang of nostalgia hit her - she was supposed to be on her way to the location of her currently assigned job. A slight gasped escaped from her lips as she scrambled up on her feet. Crap, I’m late.

    Jumping onto the platform of the guild, Hika hurriedly stormed back into her guild to grab her weapon holder and fumbled over her eye-patch while teleporting to her old guildhall through the teleportation lacrima. The number of locations and teleportation lacrimas, it was confusing for her when she first moved to the new guildhall but Hika adapted to the surroundings rather quickly than she had expected.

    Since Hika wasn’t fond of any automobiles, she decided to walk all the way towards the Haunted Village, despite the amount of time it may take. Huffing and puffing through her way, Hika managed to make it to the Haunted Village within a couple of hours, sweat beads forming on her forehead. She blew out her bangs and wipe the sweat off her face with the hem of her black blazer. She had a casual attire today; a white long sleeve T-shirt underneath her blazer with black shorts and boots. Whew. That took a quite some time, She would sigh, fixing her eye-patch. Entering the village, Hika was greeted by a man whom she thought was the client of the job. She greeted herself only to be asked to wait for the rest of the group. Oh? The group?

    Hika raised an eyebrow, glancing at the young man sitting on a stump. Ah, so, he must be one of the group who applied for this job as well, She wondered. Unsure what to do, Hika approached closer and sat on something she could find. Her hand reached over her eye-patch and fixed it once again awkwardly. ”Hello.” She was smiling, not knowing whether he was looking at her or not, as the petite girl let out a small hesitant wave.

    Arianna stood at the edge of Haunted Village, wind blowing her cloak as her eyes peered out from the hood that kept her face covered in blackness. She had been traveling for quite some time on her way to this job, having to cross a large amount of land on only her feet. Since the crash of Nox Animus, Arianna had broken away from the dark guild life while they reformed, losing almost everything.... including all of her savings. There was always the possibility of selling one of her swords, but the mere thought put a sour look on her face.

    That meant that she'd have to work if she was ever going to raise up out of poverty... again... Her shoulders slumped down at the thought of all that hard work that she had gone through already. She had finally gotten a nice place in the city among the clouds and someone had to go and crash the ship. Who ever it was should of counted themselves lucky that she hadn't found out their name, yet.

    Upon entering further into the village, she meet the old man that appeared to be the one that sent out the flier. She silently nodded as he asked if she was one of the people that had taken the job, not picking up on the hint that she was the only one that had taken the job because of her rumbling stomach, distracting her for a quick second from the embarrassment of that awkward moment. The old man didn't seem to care as he let out a laugh and told her that there was plenty of food waiting for her.

    Not in the state to turn down free food, she followed behind him into a room that gave way to small room with a table that had two other people sitting around it, a short silver haired girl with an eye patch, and a normal height man with black spiky hair. Her eye's widened at the surprise of two people being there, not realizing that she would have to work with more people on this job. Sighing, she was shown to her sit as the elder said he would be back shortly with some food as they waited for the last arrival. She was never fond of working with others, even while in a guild, but these were desperate times. Taking her site, she crossed her arms and avoided eye contact, never being the most social person in the room. All she was worried about right now was the food that the elder promised as she tried to hold down any rumbles.

    "There you go miss," The old woman pushed a pink and white striped bag over the counter towards Karina, "I put a few in extra, don't mention it to the others." Karina grinned and the woman winked, "Thank you very much Miss!" She sang whilst picking up the bag and heading towards the door of the shop.
    As she stepped out side a cold gust of wind hit her directly in the face, billowing her long hair around her and forcing her eyes shut. That was the moment when it suddenly dawned on her, she had a job to go to! She forced her eyes open, shoved the pink and white striped bag into her shoulder bag then set off running down the various streets of Magnolia.
    Many people shouted greetings to her as she ran past them- Karina often hung around Magnolia when she wasn't doing anything which meant she had a lot of time to get to know the locals and help them out with little bits and bats. "Sorry~ I cant speak right now!" She called back, waving to everyone.
    How awful of herself, Karina thought as she neared the haunted village, she had almost forgotten all about the job and now she would be keeping the others there waiting for her! She could now see three figures stood together, no doubt these were the mages she was to be working with. "I am so sorry I am late," she arrived by their sides gasping for breath, she wasnt cut out for running like that, "I lost track of time, please forgive me." Karina delved into her bag and pulled out the bag of sweets she had bought earlier, took one out for herself then handed the bag to the other mages. Hopefully she hadn't made terrible impression on them, for if she did the rest of the job wouldn't go so well.
    Once she regained her breath she looked at her surroundings, they were stood at the entrance of a clearing of withered trees, part of the haunted village could be seen through this entrance- it looked like no one had been here for a long long time. However that clearly was not the case.

    Once all three of the other people arrived the merchant started to inform them as much as he could on what has been happening and what he wants for the four of us to do. "For the past few delivery orders I've sent wagons of goods out but none of them have arrived which brings me to the actual job. I'd like for you to slay the evil witch that is in the Spooky Forest with her gone I can get back my business." He said to them with a face of someone losing their very livelihood. He went back to the village leaving them to walk to the forest. "Before I forget to introduce myself I'm Nightken Blackwing from Fairy Tail." He introduced himself to them before they proceeded towards the forest. Looking around the Spooky Forest looked like it does usually as if it was from a horror novel which honestly he didn't mind since he's trained here before and even back then he wasn't phased by it. He noticed the cart tracks  leading into the forest taking a course off the main road meaning it was either attacked or they had another reason for going that way. Since he didn't see any traces of blood or a struggle they had to of went that way of their own decision. Following the trail left by the cart it stretched towards the center of the forest and that didn't make him feel good about what they'll encounter since they had nothing show up till now,but that is when he saw foot prints that looked like it was made from a skeleton. It became clear this is where the people driving the cart most likely died. "Be prepared for anything we don't know what this witch can do." He informed the others before they continued on. Looking around where the foot prints came from he started to follow them to five holes and didn't see anything in them. Thinking about what he can put together his first thought was a possible bromance which would explain the skeleton foot prints. Near the holes was some boot prints that seemed to be going in the same direction as the cart.

    While waiting for the rest of the mages to arrive, Hika drummed her fingers on the place she was sitting before a girl showed up, not a single one of them saying a word. Hika clasped her hands together, feeling rather awkward but she dealt with it until another girl came into scene, apologising for being late. Smiling genuinely, Hika took the bag of sweets, already popping one of them into her mouth. She was a chocolate maniac but she didn’t mind sweets as well. ”Thank you, mate,” She flashed a huge smile at the girl, giving her a gentle pat on her shoulder before getting up to leave for their job.

    "For the past few delivery orders I've sent wagons of goods out but none of them have arrived which brings me to the actual job. I'd like for you to slay the evil witch that is in the Spooky Forest with her gone I can get back my business." Hika could see a tint of sadness in their client’s eyes as he spoke of his troubles and requested the mages to help him. The petite girl nodded, promising him to complete the job so he could continue his business, before proceeding into the Forest with the rest of the mages. None of them said anything much, other than mentioning their names, on the way. ”Hikari Shirokawa from Sabertooth.” She mumbled softly, though it was loud enough for the rest to hear.

    It was getting quite creepy as they made their way into the Forest, and Hika didn’t like it. "Be prepared for anything we don't know what this witch can do." She nodded at Nightken’s instruction, staying on guard. At the same time, she was nervous as well. Hika had been into the Spooky Forest a number of times and she still wasn’t used to the creepiness as it usually sends shivers down her spine. There were footprints in front of her. This could lead us to the witch, She thought. Who knows what the witch had been doing to the caravans and what did she wanted to do with the supplies? Hika pondered thoughtfully. It was a mystery and Hika was more than amused to discover the truth.

    Karina listened to their clients story intently, "For the past few delivery orders I've sent wagons of goods out but none of them have arrived which brings me to the actual job. I'd like for you to slay the evil witch that is in the Spooky Forest with her gone I can get back my business." That must be awful, thought Karina, the poor man was suffering just because of someone elses wrong doings. She hoped that along with the other two mages she would be able to help this poor man. That was what being a mage was all about wasn't it?
    Karina smiled softly to herself, she loved helping those in need by using her magic and mage's abilities. It was very rewarding hearing their thanks at the end of a job.
    The other two mages introduced themselves- Hikari was a petit mage whom Karina already knew and liked, the male was named Nightken Blackwing from the guild named Fairy Tail. "My name is Karina Akuma and I am from the guild Eclipse soul. My magic is that of a Hell Demon Slayer," She smiled proudly at the other two mages.
    With the introductions over and done with they all headed off into the forest, even thought they were only on the outskirts Karina could feel a strong aura of evil coming from within the shadows of the towering trees. "Be prepared for anything we don't know what this witch can do." Nightken warned Hikari and Karina. Karina nodded in response as did Hikari, and prepared herself mentally for anything that could suddenly jump out of them from the surrounding shadows. "What a delightful place..." Her voice was barely audible as she observed their surroundings. The mages had just come across some footprints on the ground... Where these the footprints that were going to lead them to the witch?
    Karina crouched down on the floor to examine the prints more closely, they seemed to be the average size and shape of a normal humans feet. Nothing terribly suspicious, Karina mused. As soon as she had thought that, a piercing scream sounded from deep within the trees. It was a sound of horror and fright, a sound which filled their heads and blocked out all happiness. Was it the witch?



    383/350 Words OOC: I apologize for the delay, however my activity is increasing so there wont be a wait like this again.

    While they looked around the area that they found the cart a scream came from further in the forest. Out of instinct Nightken ran towards where the scream came from even though it is probably a trap. While heading towards the scream the sound of bones and something shuffling across the ground around them. It didn't take long for several skeletons to come running out of the forest at them. There was a total of five skeletons that showed up two near Hikari and Karina while the other three were with Nightken. With the three he had to deal with there wasn't any need to draw his swords or use any spells. Running up to the one in the middle he punched it in the spine with enough force to make it fall apart and stop moving. The other two tried attacking at once, but by Nightken jumping back they hit each other causing them to fall apart. "That was rather disappointing." He said aloud before running towards the sound of the shuffling. Finding the source of the shuffling it turned out to be three zombies. "This would explain why no one comes back." He said before drawing his Nidai Kitetsu. Once the sword was removed from the sheath the blade was coated in black lightning. The zombies didn't seem to be quick moving at all so this wouldn't be an issue for him to deal with by himself. Based on the speed the three of them were moving Nightken realized he wouldn't need to run since walking is faster than them moving. Walking up to the closest one he did an upward swing severing an arm the zombie wasn't fazed by this due to the simple fact it can't feel pain. With its other arm it tried swing on him, but in one fluid motion that arm was gone which made it try going in for a bite. Sidestepping the attack Nightken cut off the zombies head and sliced the body down the middle since it was moving back towards him. "*Tch* Who ever brought these people back from the dead is going to pay for this." He said aloud.

    OOC:

    So, there was a slayer in the group, a demon slayer to be exact. Hika grinned at Karina, a mage who she had known from previous job she had been on. After quite a few minutes of walking, from the shadows came out the skeletons that threatened to harm them. Hika let out a small yelp suddenly, startled by the sudden sight of the skeletons that appeared beside her and Karina. Within a blur, Nightken had already annihilated the three skeletons there were bothering him. ”Indeed, it is quite disappointing,” She mumbled as she kicked the poor skeleton in the ribs. With a swift movement, she brought her fist right into the remaining skeleton’s face, defeating both of them. ”Goddamn bones,” She grunted, dusting off her hands.

    Nodding at Nightken’s statement, Hika followed behind him, checking around to ensure that Karina was still with her. It wasn’t long before they started encountering zombies. Wait… what? They just met strange skeletons and now there’s another bunch of zombies in a distance. Hika imagined herself bumping right into a tree and hitting herself on the head multiple times, purposedly. This place was just too creepy. There was something she discovered as well. For some reason, Hika would always find her body being magnetised and pulled slightly towards Nightken, which made her wonder what kind of magic he used. This was the first time she had been experiencing this and it felt quite weird. Hika had been struggling to keep her feet on the ground and not to be dragged towards him like a magnet.

    All she wanted was to get this job done, get paid and go home but it seems that it’d probably take quite some time before they could get the mission completed. Hika let out a long sigh, running a hand through her hair to make sure it’s in place. Glancing at the zombies, she let out a low groan. Honestly, where did these zombies come from? She thought. Hika didn’t hesitate to summon her weapon this time. Yin and Yang, I summon thee! The circle blade dropped onto her hands after a blinding beam of light appeared above her head. Hika separated her weapon into two tear-shaped blades, the heavy weight of them exerting force onto her thin arms but it couldn’t discompose her posture. Letting out a growl, she charged at them, swirling her blades rapidly around her, her weapon slicing through the skin of the zombies.
