Seekers [Job/Quincy]

With passport in hand Venir strolled down the docks, ruby gems glancing at each boat she passed by, hoping to spot the one she was to get on. It would be the first time the young mage had ever been so far from home, from Eclipse Soul, from Fiore. "Well, I have a passport in my name...."She muttered though couldn't really recall when she had picked one up. It was in her room.....and did have her name on it but she couldn't help but doubt as to whether or not it was truly hers. Regardless of the integrity of the passport it did come in handy for this particular job.


It was a curious request that seemingly came out of nowhere. "Why me?" She wondered aloud, not in a negative way but a curious way. Was it because she had become an Ace? Were Aces often requested to go on strange jobs that took them out of the country? On jobs with people from other guilds whom she had never met? "Well, this Quincy person seems nice enough. Rather odd that she didn't just invite her own guildmates though..."Perhaps it was a top secret mission? Still, it couldn't help but lead Venir back to the original question of why her? Not to mention was Quincy aware of Venirs age? "I'd really rather not have to explain myself...." She sighed, hating the embarrassing feeling of having to prove to others that despite being so small and so young that she could indeed handle herself on a job. Before the young mage could ponder the strange situation any further she stopped as she spotted the boat she was searching for. "Here we go. The start to a new adventure!" She thought as she took the first step up onto the said boat. Ca-Ellum was a strange and foreign land to her, one that she had never seen let a lone heard of, but she wasn't exactly the most educated of mages.


She inquired, sea-breeze ruffling through her platinum blonde hair. Venir could only hope that they believed her, the light pink mark of Eclipse Soul on her thigh should have been proof enough but at times others simply viewed her based off of her age. "Maybe I should have worn more serious attire?" Boots, and a simple grey dress in order to show her guildmark if the need were to arise, the girl's magic produced more combat suited attire so she hardly ever wore armor when going on missions. However, this entire thing was so out of the blue that Venir was unsure of what would be proper and what would be not.

The feeling of a hand upon her shoulder certainly startled Venir, enough to cause her to jump and the smallest of squeaks to escape her lips. Turning her ruby gaze to the person who had touched she was greeted with a rather serious face. The woman was serious but not unpleasant, there was a certain aura to her though that Venir struggled to put a label to. Anger. That was it, the woman seemed angry as to what it was hard to say. However, it was far too early for Venir to be inquiring as to what might be the cause of said anger.

"A-Ah...." She mumbled as the woman spoke, trying to register everything she said, it was quite a bit to take in at once. Once she seemingly finished Venir took a moment or two processing the information and then figuring out what to say. "So we hunt for Mantra, gather information...." That part seemed simple enough but the other parts not so much. "Lie to my guild?" The young girl seemed clearly distraught but another glance of her ruby eyes towards the elder figure had the girl going, "Yes mam!" In less than a heartbeat. The normally curious and questioning Venir kept her questions and concerns to herself. Maybe it would be better to wait until later to voice her opinion.

At the sound of a chuckle Venir leaned to the side to gaze behind the woman at the source of the sound. It hadn't occurred to her that there was another person aboard the ship. He didn't seem like the captain of the ship but Venir was no expert in such matters, "Is he accompanying us as well?" Venir inquired, sending another skeptical glance towards him and then back to Quincy. "Not that you have to answer or anything...." She quickly added on as an after thought not wanting to bother the person who had invited her upon such an important mission. "Ah I just wanted to warn you before we leave...." They had to be leaving soon after all, it didn't seem as if there was much time to waste, "I'm not particularly strong but I will try my best." Her words were honest but the determination to do her best was visible in her crimson eyes, she couldn't let this stranger down, especially when it seemed like she needed all the help she could get. It couldn't be easy hunting down someone right?

It was the only response the young girl gave to Zozo, eyeing him over for another moment before giving him her hand, shaking it with a surprisingly good grip for someone so tiny. She couldn't begin to fathom the story these two carried with them, let alone as to how Zozo became an indentured servant of sorts to mage known as Quincy. Briefly, the young girl pondered if the same might happen to her but she put that out of her head as quickly as she could. Surely, that'd never happen to her? Besides she was hired to come along, it wasn't as if she was bought or anything....

After Zozo had returned to Quincy's side it left the young girl in a rather awkward predicament. Not courageous enough to go and talk to the Lamia Scale mage, or even her companion, Venir went to the side of the ship as it took off. Dark blue waters, glistening against the sunlight, was a pretty enough view to keep her attention. Her companions for the voyage were the sea creatures that occasionally broke through the water, some large and some small, some normal and some strange. "Woah...."She breathed out, having never visited the ocean let alone been out on it. "When I get back I'll get Alyia to come to the beach with me....Or maybe I'll just go on sea-faring missions from now on." Sea-sickness was not a problem as the ship maintained a steady speed and there was hardly any waves on the otherwise calm sea. That was how she spent most of the voyage, leaning over the edge of the ship, delicate fingers outstretched, dreaming of how if she was just a little bit bigger she might be able to touch the water, and most importantly minding her own business.


At Quincy's call Venir's attention shifted from the water to the fast approaching coastline. "Woah!" Another exclamation at the sight of the foreign land. Staring for a moment or two longer the petite girl pulled out her own passport. Silently, she followed along after the pair, following their actions, giving the man her passport for approval, and then retrieving it for the voyage back. Quickening her pace she was once more only a few steps behind the two. She cast her eyes about looking for the supposed Mantra but she came upon the realization that she had no idea what he looked like..."Say....What am I supposed to be looking for?" She inquired quietly to her temporary companions, not wanting to attract any unnecessary attention, though that was a difficult task considering how odd the three looked together.

She seemed more than a little skeptical at Quincy's rather cryptic answer. Yet she made no reply or further inquiries. What else could she possibly ask? At the very least the woman seemed confident that they would find their target. Which was all that Venir could really ask for, she was a firm believer in "If there's a will then there's a way". Walking in silence, the streets were awfully empty not that Venir gave much thought to it. Quincy's pace seemed to quicken much to Venir's dismay, there was no way her little legs could keep up without having to run after the older woman. Cursing her smallness the girl was just about to pick up into a job when Zozo had suddenly gripped her arm, dragging her off to an ally.

For a moment she thought that Zozo might eat her, or kill her, or something terrible. Yet nothing terrible happened as he was quick to explain. "We'll probably get in her way anyways..."Venir muttered sheepishly, a hand darting out to rub at the back of her blonde locks awkwardly. This certainly wasn't what she expected, but she supposed that it was okay that she wasn't charging into the unknown. She didn't feel particularly comfortable about letting Quincy just charge by herself but it wasn't exactly the young mage's place. A loud painful sound caught her attention once more and Zozo returned in a different form than what he had previously been in. "Oh dear..."Color drained from her face, the sudden change was a bit unexpected and rather frightening but he didn't attack at least...Well, as long as she kept moving. "Wait." She requested as politely as she could. If they were going to be heading into battle she ought to prepare as well. With a sharp tug, Venir yanked off a curious charm off of a curious bracelet. Light pink magic circle appearing beneath her feet, and light enveloping her body, her transformation took place. It wasn't nearly as flashy and as long as it usually was, she didn't want to draw any unwanted attention and she certainly didn't feel like she had the time.

Light dissipating, Venir stood clothed in a pink frilly dress, that didn't look particularly good for defense but it was purely mana produced so it was better than the average clothes. On top of that a curious staff was in her hands, it was the same as the charm upon her bracelet, a golden star with a pair of white wings on either side of it, and a few red gems scatter upon it. "Let's go!" She nodded, her blonde locks now having two pig tails, tied up with wing like ribbons. "I suppose you'll be leading the way since you can track them." The young girl was sure to move about a little bit, shifting her weight about from one foot to the other. She'd rather not get attacked by one of her only allies.

It seemed as if the moment her transformation was finished, a hulking man was blocking the exit to the alley. It was surprising he could even fit in there, let alone move around. "Watch out!" The girl called as Zozo rushed forward, prepared to strike. The man just narrowly missed Zozo who managed to slice at his abdomen. The large goon remained silent in response to Zozo's question not that Venir waited to see if he would respond. Slipping a white gloved hand into her card holster, she pulled out a certain card placing it upon her staff, "Include!" She whispered, the card absorbing into the curious staff a moment later. There was no apparent change to the girl but the moment she dashed forward it became obvious. She was much faster than before, dashing to the edge of the alleyway in the blink of an eye.

Pushing her weight down into the ground, knee's bending preparing herself to jump, like a cat she pounced forward her speed allowing her to jump a little higher than normal. "Let's go!" Venir called to Zozo, her heeled boots digging into the man's face. He let out a grunt, hands that were once clutching at his abdomen now flew up to his face to try and throw her off. However, the young girl just dug her feet in once more, before vaulting off of the man and out into the street behind him. It would be better to fight someone large like him out in the open where it would be easier to avoid his strikes. Hitting the ground, rolling to slow down, and then coming out of the roll in a standing position. A quick glance around showed that the street was clear, no apparent ambush awaiting them. "Good we can focus on this guy then get back to helping like we should be." She spun around on her heel, facing the muscular goon once more.

For a moment the young girl paused, her staff raised, her hand by her card holster prepared to grasp another card the moment she needed one. "He seems completely human." Her thoughts flickered to a certain time mage, a partner gone missing for what felt like eons now, but her lessons still lingered as if they were just taught to her yesterday. "I'm not supposed to kill human beings." She reminded herself, glancing over to Zozo unsure of what his own standpoint on killing was, he probably didn't care, and she certainly didn't as long as it wasn't by her hand.

Venir could only avert her eyes at the sight of Zozo and the goon. "I'm not the one killing him." She reminded herself, but still it felt like somehow she was disobeying Lekuna's words. "Everyone deserves a shot at redemption." Yet she made no move to help the muscular goon as Zozo tore into his shoulders and eventually head. "What would Lekuna say to me now?" She wondered but no answer came, she could really use the time mage's wisdom right about now. "A-Ah sure." She picked her way carefully over to Zozo, avoiding the blood that had spilled across the pavement. Once her small hands had grasped upon his legs, he took off. Venir was no stranger when it came to flying, but normally she flew with angels so this was a slightly different experience.

Suddenly, she was dropped, the brief moment of falling setting panic into her system. The fall was thankfully a short one as she landed upon a nearby roof. Landing on the balls of her feet in order to better absorb the impact, a small cloud of dust popped up around her. Coughing and waving the dust away, crimson eyes darted up to look at Zozo as he spoke, his words sending a shiver down her spine. "Die?" Blinking the rain drops out of her eyes, she watched for a moment as the insect like demon darted away through the pitter patter of rain drops, and the occasional boom of thunder and flash of lightning. This was beginning to feel like a morally confusing suicide mission but Venir was in too deep now to back out. With a sigh the young girl finally dashed forward across the rooftops, heading north, following Zozo.


Dashing across the barren roofs, avoiding the occasional slight obstacle, and jumping across the small gaps between buildings Venir thought that the higher ground would be safe. Sure the lightning was a bit of a worry but she had only one close call with it thus far. Other than that, the roofs did seem safer, they had yet to encounter another goon- A figure on a building not to far ahead caught her attention. It seemed as if she had jinxed it. "No avoiding him." She thought with a sigh, hand slipping into her card holster, fumbling for a card. Once she had grasped the right card, the young girl skid to a stop her feet mere inches away from the edge of the building. The height certainly didn't bother her, she was far too focused on the goon on the other building just beside her own, nothing but a small gap between the two building was separating them.
