Messing with Mischievous Imps (Elyx & Jin)

Jin had been saving his magic for this one boss the entire time, so he went all out. Still, he only used one big spell and the rest was done from his summons. He always thought there was nothing so out of the ordinary about him but his lineage wasn’t so subtle. The reason why he was able to summon legendary spirit warriors to help him out was that he was the descendant of Gor. History doesn’t do justice to that warrior who won so many battles and defeated countless foes. Not many knew about him and there weren’t many tales of him either.

Kayla and Jerald came to Jin after defeating the large imp, ”Are you okay my beloved?” said the women in a seductive manner. Her hand raised his chin since he was looking down and breathing a bit heavily. Jerald sat on his knee and started to put some bandages around Jin’s arm and the burned parts on his body. ”Thank you miss, I’m fine” he replied, she really was wearing some provocative clothes. As she was right in front of him, if he wanted to he could possibly see everything. For a legendary warrior, she was one hell of a perverted individual.

After that, Jin followed along Elyx as the two mages head towards their guild. Jin had sent his spirit warriors back to the spirit world after he was all bandaged up by Jerald.

A lightning bolt of realization struck right behind his head, now he knew something that seemed a little... Lot... Bit off. The enemies seem to be going down in almost barely any strikes, this strikes tend to vary and base on strategy, but what would be the main goal of them. At the end of this, Elyx felt like he struck an artery, was that actually worth anything at all? He was damaging his body by being so reckless, even if it is a battle, he shouldn't be exerting all of that magic power. I wonder if castors have that sort of problem... Elyx said out loud, thinking of just about everyone in his guild, including the person right next to him. Almost all of them seem to be able to handle every single mission without getting hurt, meanwhile he was going all out to use his Violin spells. The Imps... Their fighting tactics rely on taking care of everything on their own, and look at how they ended up. Elyx said as he looked back towards the next. And... At what cost? Well, he had no time to sulk over it now, he had to continue walking, but the more he did that, the more it was nagging him. He just wanted to become stronger.

Jin noticed that his friend was suddenly having trouble walking, ”So that form did effect him”. Well he was in no condition to talk about that either, he had no form like Elyx did but he was injured too. However, his injuries were taken care of momentarily, Jerald one of his summoned warrior spirits had bandaged him. He walked next to Elyx, grabbed his arm and put it around his shoulder as he smiled at Elyx. ”Oi oi, you can’t walk like that by yourself. What are friends for anyways?” he said with the warmest of smiles. Jin was a kind person at heart and despite being injured what troubled him most was that his friend was having trouble walking.

Finally, the two mages made it back to the harbor from where they took a boat heading back to the island that was all too familiar. Jin asked the captain of the ship if there was a medic on board. Luckily there was so he asked them to attend to Elyx first and then to him as well. The medic arrived with a first aid kit and on their way back they received some medical treatment. The medic advised Jin that since his injuries were basically comprising of a flesh wound and slight burns, he should just rest. He also advised Elyx to take a few days off since it seemed there was a sprain in his leg muscles. Afterwards, Jin brought some refreshments; one for himself and the other for Elyx. ”Elyx, isn’t your magic a caster type like mine? How are you able to use those powerful forms anyway?” indeed he was intrigued by his friend’s methods. This was one different way of using his magic and Jin wanted to possibly learn it in the future.

It didn't even occur to him that he was even walking by himself and off task. When he looked around, he didn't even know where he was. It was like he was daydreaming while he was walking. It was scary to him, nothing was making sense to him and it was like he was breaking down for no reason at all. From this point, he kept himself silent, wanting to visit the nest once more before they returned to their home. He wanted to know what was bugging him so much about it. Dude, I have to go back! I need to see something. I know its past seven so you may go home if you would like, but there is something about that damn nest that keeps bugging me. Elyx explained as he ran towards the nest again. Traveling again for what... One... Two... Five hours? Well, it didn't matter. If he needed to travel for days, he would, this was his only chance to find out something that was bugging him and maybe he could use it. The further he ran,the more determined he was to get to that nest. He activated Wind Lerale Boost to give him another speed bump before he arrived to the nest. And then it happened, it was just as he expected, there was something that connected him to this empty nest. A flashback rolled through his minds, he was back at... Angelo's? The chocolate bar shop, and it was empty. This wasn't that hard to figure out, on this day he was trapped in the shop, or at least that's what he thought. It closed and he was using the restroom at the time it closed, so he seemed to be locked in before Angelo came in hearing his cries and Elyx was returned home safely. But... What did that have to do with the imps? You would be surprised. A mans voice said beside Elyx, who turned around with his fists up, but put them down once he realized that the man was a spirit it wouldn't help to punch it. But... I don't want to let you know yet. Its not time for you to know yet. The man explained with Hus arms crossed and a delicate smile on his face. Elyx talked to it, and to anyone else it would look like he was talking g to thin air. All in good time. The man said again as he slowly read his mind again. Elyx kept silent, not knowing how to feel about this. But... I want to know... Elyx said as the spiritual man left.

Before the two could depart on their journey, Elyx had to run back to where they had faced the creatures off. Jin would never let him go on his own but he did ran off and he never had a chance to say he was coming along. The friendly mage was left alone at the harbor with the question of whether or not to go back or go ahead. He sat down in front of the ship that was supposed to take him back to the island. His hand rested on his fist and his arm’s elbow rested on his knee, he kept pondering about what to do. ”Elyx is capable of protecting himself, he’s as good a mage as I am or probably even better. What am I supposed to do then? Wait for him? Go back for him or just go ahead?”, it was a bit of a confusing situation.

Finally his stomach growled and he realized that he was tired and hungry anyways. He stood up and made up his mind to trust in his friend’s abilities and leave ahead. He was still worried but he walked on board, telling the captain he would be travelling alone. The ship set sail and in a few hours he was back on the familiar island. After a few minute walk he was back in the guild hall and with a completed job request, thanks to Elyx yet again.

Elyx then was left alone... that man. Who was that person... and what did he want? These Imps, he was going to need to study a little bit more on this. He then began talking to himself again, his unhealthy habit it taking over again. For the first time since he joined the guild, his normally smiling face went from the already bad neutral face to a sad facial expression. Now I get it. These Imps represented something... and I know what it is. There is more... but what? Elyx explained to himself as he began walking down the slope to his guild, Black Rose. Hopefully he can rest his head there without anybody seeing him. It would be nice to rest that peacefully. When he passed by Jins house, he realized what he did and what it looked like, and it made him feel much worse. He threw his knapsack over his head so he could rummage through the sack of items. Finally, he managed to pull out two chocolate bars from his knapsack and bent onto his knees. From there, he slid the two chocolate bars and left with a small smile as he walked to his house, hopefully an "I am sorry" worth something. Once he got to his house, he barged through the door and rushed to the bed, and never in his life has his mattress felt softer.
