    ❊ BACK TO NEVERLAND ❊
    It had recently come to the Aces attention that there was a certain duty she had yet to uphold. Her guildmaster, Alyia, an angel of luck had informed her of that said duty only a few days prior. As an Ace of Eclipse Soul, it was her job to overlook the members of her guild, guiding them on their path to redemption as they simultaneously grew stronger. She guided them through everyday life, on jobs, and most importantly on exams. An exam or rather a trial put forth by the Guild Master herself or her trusted Ace. Though she had only ran a few exams and guided a few members Venir had a good grasp on her obligations as an Ace until recently.

    Guildless

    Alyia had informed her that a guildless mage, a mage with no home had grown in strength recently. Apparently, as an Ace of the guild not only did she have to look over those of her guild but Guildless mages as well. Eclipse Soul, a legal guild by definition, but in nature was a guild that welcomed even the darkest of souls within its doors was perhaps one of the most suitable guilds to look after guildless mages. They were a guild that would turn a blind eye to any illegal actions but still do their best to lead them to their own path of redemption, they were not nearly as quick to judge as legal guild members, simply because many within Eclipse Soul were far more guilty. Still, it was a rather strange thing to be asked to test someone whom she had never met, and knew little to nothing about other than what information her guildmaster had provided her on them. "Alrighty then!" She set the paperwork on her desk, before pulling out a blank parchment of her own. "Let's send him a message." Thus, in an elegant scrawl a message was sent to the mage by the name of Speculo.

    Dear Speculo,


    It has come to the attention of Eclipse Soul that you have grown in strength. Therefore, that new found strength shall be put to the test. In order to see if you are truly a capable wizard, and in order to ascertain if you are worthy of the next step in your journey as a mage you shall be tested. Three days after receiving this letter, journey to the base of the tallest mountain in the Phoenix Mountains. It is there that your test will begin.


    Sincerely,
    The Ace of Life Venir RuLush


    ~*~

    With the message sent and the correct amount of time having since passed; Venir made her journey towards the designated meeting point. The air was chilly and thin from the altitude even at the base, freshly fallen snow still clung to the ground, but all of this Venir was used to having lived within the Pheonix Mountain Range for some time. Clad in a white overcoat, and thigh high boots to match, the white clad mage leaned against the red asian wooden gate that marked the beginning of the mountain path. She crossed her arms over her chest, crimson eyes falling shut to catch a brief cat nap as she awaited the other mage's arrival, and next to her feet was a large bag apparently stuffed to the brim with....Well, with something.

    Speculo



    Speculo was walking all alone on a path that wound to nowhere. Hills on either side of him, the wind blowing in his face, he loved this. He was free out here. Nobody could find him out here. He had made sure to cover his tracks pretty well. Always going by a false name, paying in bills, being quick to leave and always pleasant. He took a deep breath of the fresh air. Beautiful.

    "Mr. Speculo! WAAAAAAIT!" Called a far off voice.
    Spec turned to the source of the voice, very surprised. A man in white short shorts and white tanktop came running over to the wanderer. He had some large red flag of some kind strapped to his back, and wore a red conductors cap. When he finally caught up with Speculo, he stated, "Greetings Mr. Speculo. I have come to deliver a letter!" And at that, he pulled a red envelope from his pocket with a bunny seal. "Well, here you are."
    "Wait, who are you?" Speculo asked. How did he find him?
    "I am the honorable and dependable letter carrier, known to some as... the Postman!"
    "The.. Postman. Got it."
    "I don't know where you are, but I will find you, and I will deliver mail to you. Good day sir!" And like that, he was off, jogging down the path he had come.

    Spec opened the enveloped and pulled out the letter to read it.

    Dear Speculo,


    It has come to the attention of Eclipse Soul that you have grown in strength. Therefore, that new found strength shall be put to the test. In order to see if you are truly a capable wizard, and in order to ascertain if you are worthy of the next step in your journey as a mage you shall be tested. Three days after receiving this letter, journey to the base of the tallest mountain in the Phoenix Mountains. It is there that your test will begin.


    Sincerely,
    The Ace of Life Venir RuLush



    The Phoenix Mountains?! All the way back there!? He groaned loudly. And here he was on top of the world... Fine. Not like it seems I have a choice. I gotta get there in three days. Time to get back to the train station, it seems.

    And off Speculo went, following the trail the postman had left. That guy appeared out of nowhere, and left into the same place. Where did he come from?

    A few train rides, a lot of missed and hurried meals and almost missing his stop by falling asleep, Speculo arrived back at the Phoenix Mountains. "Hopefully I don't killed over this." It just struck him at that time that this could all be a trap. A Ruse to get him in the Phoenix Mountains and end him. Treasure Coffer sure was relentless. But.. They would never send such a fancy letter. They would make it plain as possible, trying to reduce cost as much as possible. And that postman knew where to find Spec.. this had to be legit. Either way, he kept his guard up.

    He trekked on until he came to the base of the tallest mountain. A red gate stood infront of the path up and.. who was that? A girl all in white leaned against the on of the beams for the gate. And she was.. sleeping? Fox-stepping as quietly as he could, he got within normal talking range, then opened up with "You called?"

    She had only been napping for a few minutes when her ears perked up at the noise of someone approaching. Her crimson orbs still remained closed, her breathing steady as if she was still asleep, and though the one who had approached her was surprisingly quiet on their feet their magic presence was not concealed in the slightest. In an attempt to perhaps startle the stranger the Ace opened up her crimson eyes revealing that she was indeed awake, "Ah took you long enough!" She yawned, stretching her arms above her head, a few pleasant pops emanating from her back. "I thought I was going to have to wait all day." She gave him a smile before offering him her hand to shake, she had a surprisingly strong grip for someone of a rather petite stature.

    "I'm Venir RuLush."

    She introduced though figured he had already guessed that. Taking a moment she glanced over him as if inspecting him. Her gaze was known to make some of the members cringe, as if she could see right through them, most of them chalked it up to the eerie color of her eyes or the scar across one of her eyes but still Venir had a habit of reading people like a book. "Well, let's commence the pain and torture then!" She clapped her hands together in excitement and seemed almost dead serious. "Your test shall be climbing up this mountain with me." The task itself sounded easy enough but a glance up would show that the peak of the mountain was hidden above the clouds. It was going to be a long trek, and Venir was there to make sure every step of the way was a difficult one. "Now if you don't mind. Carry this." She grunted as she picked up the bag, even she was struggling a bit with weight of it, before tossing it towards Speculo. The bag felt like a brick and if inspected it would reveal that there was logs of wood within it.

    Speculo



    He wasn't expecting to wake surprise her, but it would have been a very nice side benefit for him. But the girl that he suspected to be Venir opened her eyes calmly and stretched, then commented that she thought she would have to wait all day. "Well excuse me, I was near the northern border of Fiore when I got your letter to come all the way south, so sorry if the three day train trip I took was a little behind schedule." He might have sounded sassy at this point, but he had missed out on a lot of sleep on that train. He took her hand, and shook it with just as much grip as she did.

    Pain and Torture, yeah, he just got over enough of that from vegetable demons. But, climbing the mountain? Sure, it was a long way up, but that was easy. But when she mentioned the bag and tossed it towards him. He caught it, and it dropped a bit before he was able to get it all the way back up to his chest. Feeling it from the outside it... "Are these logs in here?" Speculo asked. He was expecting this exam to be a fight or something. But, if it was carry logs up a mountain, that was what he came here for. He lugged enough wood around in Magnolia Town for an old man to help rebuild his house, so this shouldn't be TOO big of a problem. Unless, she put things in the road to make it difficult.

    "Well, if this is how things have to be, sure, I'll go along with it."

    ❊ BACK TO NEVERLAND ❊
    Venir had to stifle a laugh at the mage's response, it had been a long time since she had received any....Sass. When you were the Ace of your guild not many members were willing to give you attitude, and if they did they Venir was entitled to smacking them around a bit. However, it wasn't as if she could treat this guy like a guildmate, at least not yet. "Talk to your elders with some respect." She moved to pinch his ear. Regardless of who was the elder in the situation, Venir would treat him like a kid regardless perhaps just to get on his nerves. "Yup! You'll see what we need them for." She shrugged, sending him a sly grin before heading up the mountain path. "Hurry up we don't have all day to get to the top!" She called out, the path was steep but clear of debris for the most part. The largest obstacle was the snow slick ground, and the angle of the slope.

    The beginning of the hike was relatively silent save for the various sounds nature provided. Venir was merely focusing on the path, and occasionally checking to make sure Speculo was behind her. She had made this climb a few times but even for her it was a bit of a tiring walk. Luckily, it appeared her moment for rest had come. Snarls erupted from the bushes up a head, deep throaty growls that the white haired mage recognized immediately. "Here's you first challenge." She took a step to the side, leaning her back against one of the many tree's that decorated the mountain. "Direwolves inhabit the Pheonix Mountains. I've taken down my fair share of them but I'm sure you haven't so here's your chance. Get rid of the wolves!" The wolves themselves finally stalked out of the bushes, the canines as a large as a horse, "Oh but please don't drop that bag." She smiled, as if she was enjoying herself.

    (OOC: Alright there's a pack of about 5-6 horse sized wolves! I'm not gonna give you a set number of hits to take them down but mind you these are large wolves, you are but one person on a steep snowy slope, and you have a hefty bag to carry! Best of luck!)

    Speculo



    He didn't do anything as she pinched his ear. She was the one in charge, even though he was pretty sure he was the elder here. What, are we gonna build something with these? Gonna make a ladder? He thought, referring to the logs.

    As they walked, he was pretty ok with it. Sure, it was snowy and he had to make sure he had his footing, but he had been walking for a better part of the month for miles after miles. By now he had some good legs underneath him. He kept getting a feel for the logs inside. They weren't too big. He might be able to use one as a bat or something to fight. He knew what lived on these mountains. Right on cue, he heard deep growls. Think of the devil. He didn't need her explaining of the Direwolves, but it didn't hurt. She had killed these things? These guys were huge! Bigger than the ones he saw before he left Treasure Coffer. But maybe that area just inhabited a smaller variety.

    Don't drop the bag? How would he do that?! Nevermind that, how would he fight holding it? Well, he could... With quick thinking, he untied the bag, took one log out, tied it back up then cast "Room Of a Thousand Mirrors!" on it. It stayed floating in the air, surrounded by a ball of mirrors. Sure, he might need that magic power he just used up, but it was the only way to hold the bag like this.

    Giving the log a few swings, he reasoned it might be used in a number of ways. Speculo was a tactician like that. Until he realized he had failed to count them. They seemed to have circled him at this point, and there were 5. Or were there 6? They kept moving, he wasn't quite sure. He was trying to make sure none got the drop on him.

    With a sudden growl, one from behind jumped at Speculo. Swinging around and holding up the log with both hands, The wolves mouth clenched over the piece of wood instead of Speculo's throat. He growled and thrashed, but the Mage held on. Looking under, he found it was a boy. Good thing he had just bought steel toed boots. With a swift left kick, he hit it square on, making it let go and rejoin the others. It whimpered a bit, but was backing down. He barely got up back up before another jumped at him.

    Speculo didn't have the time to use the log this time,and had to toss the log high up in the air before hooking his thumbs on the edges of it's mouth, away from the teeth. It was powerful, and started to push him across the ground. Redjusting his right hand, he put his palm against it's skull and casted "Mirror Shard!" With a flash of light and a spray of blood from the beasts head, it flopped down ontop of Speculo, dead. The log chose that time to bounce back onto the dead body, which he caught in his hands. A few heaves and he was able to scramble out from under it. One down. He pointed the log back at Venir, saying, "Still haven't dropped it."

    The next wolf saw this as an opportunity, and without a sound, made a leap. Speculo was down on the ground before he could realize what happened, claws in his back. But he did know that he was slipping down the slope. With a Direwolf on his back. The pain registered with Speculo as he turned to hit it in the jaws with his elbow. He knew that thing was going to go for the neck. It probably hadn't so far because of the slipping. It connected, but didn't make much of an impact. A few more tries brought up his aggression levels, and he felt that rush of sadistic anger and hate. The claws hardly hurt him anymore. With one more swing, he heard the jaw crunch and the weight drop off of him.

    Thing about mountains, they have a lot of cliffs. Speculo had found one of these as he slipped, but caught on as the direwolf fell the few dozen feet and crunch on the stones below. With one hand on the edge, and one hand somehow still holding the log. Speculo still had that anger flooding through him. It didn't take much effort to pull himself up with only one arm. He ran back up the slope, facing the rest of the direwolves. The log might break, but he didn't care. With one swing he brought the log against a wolf's face and one of them got smashed. He didn't care to look as he turned his attention to another one.  There were only three left. He looked down at his hand and found the log was almost broken, but was still hanging on. They kept circling him.

    "Huh!? Come at me! Come at me hellhounds! I'll beat you with a stick you oversized bitches!" One seemed to take on the challenge, and leaped at him. With a roundhouse kick, he sent his heal flying and it connected with the wolf's eye. More crunching and this one falling, but quickly running away before smacking into a tree or two on it's way out. The other two didn't seem so sure. One of them had it's balls kicked already and wasn't too eager to go back in. The other had seen what had happened to it's comrades.

    "Come on!!" Spec gave one final challenge before it decided to turn tail and run, the other following close behind. The anger faded away, and he didn't feel so sadistic anymore.

    Panting, Spec looked back at the girl leaning against the tree, and held up the log to her. "Didn't drop it." He put it back in the bag and dispelled the ball of mirros before realizing he was still bleeding from the claws in his back. "Hey, you uh.. didn't happen to bring medical supplies with you, did you? Cause these are starting to hurt.." He asked as he took off his coat and then his shirt, slowly and groaning with the pain. He also made extra careful not to drop the bag, but that was still a pain.

    He needed to get a weapon unless things like that happened again. Maybe a sword would be nice.

    ❊ BACK TO NEVERLAND ❊
    Off to the side the wolves didn't pay much attention to the white haired mage. After all, they already had a worthy opponent in front of them. Still, Venir kept a close eye on the battle ready to step in at a moment notice. She had to give the mage some credit, he was doing surprisingly well against the wolves. Further proof of his strength as a mage. "Came awfully close to dropping it though." The white haired mage teased in response, "Keep an eye on the wolves would ya?" She pointed before wincing as the large canine that had launched itself at him. She almost stepped in to help at that point but he surprised her once more.

    "Very violent." She mused red gaze glancing away for a moment as thought over this sudden turn. She half expected him to ask for help but not a single plea came. "As expected of a guildless mage. Very independent." She mused before stretching once more as he finished off the last of the wolves. "Didn't drop it but you certainly bloodied it." She sighed as if she was disappointed but that was far from what she was feeling. "Let's take a look at those claw marks. I think you learned your lesson for being overly confident in a fight." Grasping the curious bracelet dangling from her petite wrist she gave it a harsh tug, and it snapped off with ease. The charm formed into a staff, with a golden star at the top and two white wings sprouting from either side of it. "No supplies but this should do." Slipping a card from the pocket of her overcoat she placed the card on the head of her stuff. It absorbed into the staff with small flash of light, pointing it at him and more specifically his wounds Venir muttered a few words.

    Praying that he didn't think she was going to attack him a soft light emanated from the staff. It would at the least close up the wounds, but the pain would still linger for a bit. "All good?" She inquired once more, staff disappearing back into the bracelet form on her wrist. "If so let's continue." Once again, pretending to sound inconvenienced she continued up the slope careful to avoid the wolves bodies.

    Speculo



    Speculo could feel his wounds close up from the winged staff. That wasn't something he had seen or read about. His wounds feeling like they get stitched together but with more skin... Eerie, really, but the pain was still there. At least there wouldn't be anymore blood loss. Putting his clothes back on and throwing on his jacket, he hoisted the big bag onto his shoulder and followed Venir up the slope. She sounded as if Speculo got in her way or something, having to be bothered to heal him after doing that. She definitely did not get any points for that. Sure, it was probably a test of some kind, but still.

    "There aren't going to be more things like that, right? Where you leave me to die and hope I get out of it? Because.. I don't know how that looked, but I was on the ropes a few times, and would rather not do that again." He sounded a little worried.

    Walking along, careful to keep her balance, Venir glanced back when Speculo spoke. A laugh couldn't help but escape her lips at his words. She laughed for a moment or two apparently what he said she found amusing, but soon enough her laughs fell to silence. "That's more like it." She finally turned to smile at him, a bright smile that was often reserved only for guild members. "They call me the Ace of Life not the Ace of Death. Trust me you won't die on my watch. I can promise that." She placed over her heart as if swearing an oath. She then quickly led into her next point, "You know if you asked for help I would have helped you." She teased moving to give him a flick on the forehead with her fingertips. "Next time you're struggling just ask for help okay?" Her second lesson for the day, she figured most guildless weren't familiar with the concept of relying on others or asking for help when needed.

    "Just trust me."

    She gave him a wink before once more turning on her heel to head back up the slopes. Continuing the trek, Venir would leave them continuously heading towards the summit of the mount. It was there that the next challenge prevented themselves. "Ah I nearly forgot." She muttered as she gazed at the end of their path. Before them was a completely vertical slope that was more like a small cliff face in the side of the mountain. It wasn't particularly tall perhaps only about 10 feet or so but it was enough to give one of them trouble. "Just a sec." Disappearing into the tree's for a moment, Venir did not reappear again until she was suddenly at the top of the cliff face looking down at Speculo, "Remember how I asked you to trust me?" She inquired leaning over the cliff to offer a hand, "Trust me. I'll pull you up." Hand outstretched to pull Speculo up, surely it must have been a bit worrisome. After all, it didn't appear as if she was a very muscular girl.

    Speculo




    After what he said, which he guessed could be humorous, it surprised him to see her give him the smile that she did. "Really? You would have helped me? Gee, well, thanks for telling me that after I got mauled." He smiled warmly back, jokingly. "Yeah, I'll take you up on that help." He didn't say anything when she asked him to trust her.

    As they walked, Speculo constantly kept an eye out. Any more animals, or people that might be wanting to kill them. Or him. Would they even know he's back? He hoped not. He also had to shift the bundle of logs from on arm to the other, giving one a rest while one did the work. When they came to the small cliff face and Venir went into the trees, Speculo sat down and tried to clean the blood off of his gloves. Dang, it's getting cold up here.

    When Venir reappeared on top of the cliff, and asked him to trust her to pull him up, he looked at her skeptically. She didn't look as if she could pull him up.. and this would be the perfect time to kill Speculo. Dangling with one arm, she could let him fall down, leap on top and start stabbing. But, maybe this was another test. He walked up and raised his hand, but before grabbing hers stated, "You try anything, I'll hit you with these logs you forced me to carry." He grabbed her arm, and awaited to be hoisted up.

    ❊ BACK TO NEVERLAND ❊
    She rolled her at eyes at his comment, "I told you I'm the Ace of Life, I won't be trying anything funny." With their hands now connected Venir tested his weight pulling on his arm with her own. She grunted with effort, it wasn't that he was particularly heavy or anything, it was just that gravity was working against them. Deciding to use her other arm as well Venir inch by inch managed to tug her fellow mage up at least high enough for him to get his own grasp.

    "Whew! You could stand to lose a few pounds." She teased sitting upon the ground for a moment to catch her breath, arms feeling numb from the effort. She really ought to have done some more physical training rather than magical...Standing up and dusting any stray snow or dirt off of her coat, Venir once more lead the way with a promise that the rest of the hike should be fairy simple. If one would consider an almost completely vertical stone staircase to the top of the mountain simple. The very top of the stair case disappeared from view within the clouds and such that covered the top of the mountain. Venir could only sigh as she stood in front of the beginning of the steep staircase that lead directly to the top of the mountain, and of course to the destination she had in mind. "Time for your last challenge." The white haired mage slipped an amulet out of her pocket, placing it around her neck. With an almost comical poof of smoke the once white haired adult Venir no longer stood before Speculo and the stair case instead a child had taken her place.

    "There we go much better!" Clearly younger, but no doubt it was Venir the young girl turned to face Speculo once more. She was much smaller, her hair more platinum than it was white, but her crimson orbs remained the same. "Your last challenge will be carrying me up these stairs. I even made it easier on you!" She placed her hands on her hips and gave him a bright smile. It wasn't as if she was doing this just so she wouldn't have to walk up the stair case....

    Speculo



    Speculo was wondering how long it would take for her to drag him all the way up. Eventually he decided to make her feel a little better, and start pushing with his feet. Only a little though. She was testing him so much, why couldn't he test her? The time came when he was able to toss the bag of logs up over the edge and he could pull up the rest of the way. When she commented on his weight, and glared at her. "I think you need to put some on, not me lose any." I was walking for weeks straight! I walked hundreds of miles! I lost all the weight I'm gonna lose.

    When they got to the stairs leading up into the clouds above, Speculo decided it was best to button up with large trench coat. Setting down the bag once more, he buttoned and strapped his coat closed, picking the bag back up to her Venir finish her sentence and turn into a child. "You're so cut- Wait, you want me to carry you, and this bag on logs up that!?" His facial expression turned from adoring to a glare of disbelief. "You've gotta be... Fine, get on my back." He got on one knee and slouched over for her to get on. "Despite all this stuff you're putting me through, I just gotta say, and it might be easier because you're c child now, but you're actually cute. Especially as small as you are now."

    "What?"

    Her head tilted to the side, platinum locks shifting with the motion, ruby eyes showing clear confusion. "Can you not handle it?" She teased clearly to motivate him or perhaps push his buttons a bit. Still, when he bent down to one knee allowing her access to his back she gave him a childish grin. Dashing around him and jumping onto his back, arms laced about his neck careful to not cut of oxygen, and legs squeezing his sides firmly so as not to fall, Venir could basically support herself on his back so that all he had to do was simply move up the grand staircase.

    "Thank you!" She replied in turn to his cute comment, and of course somewhat thankful that he said the exam thus far was hard. Venir was known amongst her guild mates for giving incredibly easy exams and that wasn't something she wanted to be remembered for. Though, she didn't want to completely break Speculo by having him carry her in her adult form up the remaining portion of the mountain, that was just cruel. Besides her younger form felt more natural and just as Speculo said it was a rather cute form. This she had learned after getting her way more than once because of her childish charm, it had earned her numerous pats on the head even from her previous scary guild master, and current guild master alike. "It's quite a bit of a walk," Venir explained, "In this form I weight about 70 pounds or so. I don't wanna be cruel and make you carry more than necessary. Besides I'm tired." She yawned, but clearly had enough energy to tease him. After all, throughout the course of the exam Speculo had done nothing but carry more than necessary.

    ~*~

    About halfway up the mount Venir would tap Speculo upon the shoulder, her grip upon his neck tightening out of instinct but not enough to cut off oxygen. "Stop." It was a quiet whisper, her childish features growing serious. "It would appear that we're not alone on this mountain." She muttered quietly, sending a glance towards the tree's on either side of the stone stair case, the forest was unusually quiet devoid of any of the sound produced by wildlife, and the darkness between the tree's was thicker than normal.

    Speculo



    As child-Venir climbed onto his back, Speculo replied "You know, 70 pounds is still a lot of weight. Sure, it's around half your weight in present time, but still." He stood up and commenced up through the staircase. He wouldn't question that she of all people were tired. He had fought a bunch of giant things he didn't care to remember their names, and hiked up a mountain carrying logs! and she was tired!

    As they climbed, Speculo got in the rhythm of the stairs and hoisting Venir back onto his back as she sometimes slipped just a little bit. Carrying both her and the logs was really getting to drag him down. He was getting exhausted and- He snapped back to attention as she squeezed slightly with her arms and knees. He heard that they weren't alone, and after looking around himself, he came to a conclusion.

    "Shit. They found me. Ok, Venir, I'll explain latter, but right now, you need to get off my back. Whether you transform back or not is up to you, but these men will be willing to kill both of us." He slowly turned around and squatted down, letting her off at the next step.

    "That's right, Speculo. You could have told anybody about us. Including her. But that information will die with you on this mountain." This voice came from a hooded and robed man from the tree line. He pulled out two red swords and there were several other glinting objects from the inside of his robe. Speculo tossed the bag of logs down onto the steps, and took a defensive stance.

    "Ros.. You know that guy that you hired a ways back to kill me because you couldn't? Not that I don't think you've heard, but I beat him and his demon army. What could you do that he couldn't?"

    "I will be able to do it because I'm not doing it for coin. I'm doing it for my guild." At that, he turned sharply to the right, his robe billowing out and dozens of magic knives shot out from underneath.

    Speculo was ready for that, and casted "Intervention!" on the mirrors on his gloves. Jumping in front of Venir, he absorbed all the knives that flew in their direction and shot them right back. The hooded man named Ros dodged them with a roll in the snow. "I grew up with you Ros! you really think I didn't see that coming?"

    As Speculo said this, more people with blades and snow gear stepped out from the treeline all around them. "You're the Ace of Life, right? Well then see that we get out of this alive." He said behind his shoulder to Venir.

    Close your eyes
    give me your hand

    Slipping off of Speculo's back with silent ease, Venir continued to watch the tree line. She could only take Speculo's word and hope to hear his reason as to why they were being attacked by these men whom did not appear to be strangers to the wandering mage. "I'll hold you to that." She warned; her own promise to him that they would both make it through whatever strange ordeal they had found themselves in. Repeating her earlier process Venir yanked upon her curious bracelet once more but this time not only did the charm come off but a light surrounded the little mage. A moment or two later she was no longer bundled up in her coat but rather a frilly dress, one that was entirely composed of her own mana. The same staff from before was in her white gloved hands.

    As the hooded man threw the daggers, Venir took a step forward to intervene to somehow stop them because she knew how to but it appeared Speculo was faster. With the knives sent back towards the man whose name seemed to be Ros, Venir turned around to face the other side of the tree line. There were more hooded men appearing from the cracks between the tree's all of them wielding weapons or some form of magic. Her small back pressed against Speculo's, her staff raised in an offensive manner in order to warn her approaching enemies, "I'll see what I can do." She muttered, no teasing anymore. When it came to humans and their poor choices, Venir was always serious. Not to mention she had to focus and make sure she didn't accidentally kill one of the men.

    "Ahhhh!"

    In the blink of an eye Venir had slipped a few curious cards from her a frilly holster upon one of her thighs. The worn out looking cards had magic circles on the back of them and a various different pictures on the front side. She slipped the cards upon her staff each in a quick succession. All of them seemingly absorbed into her staff but there seemed to be little to no change until she moved forward towards the hooded men. In a flash like move she had dashed behind one of the men, staff having slammed into the back of his head with a surprising amount of force. Before he had even crumpled to the ground Venir moved onto the next man who had just begun to react by moving towards her. "Shoot!" Spinning on her heel, Venir managed to angle the staff just right in order to shoot a pink bubble of energy at the man. The next one had almost taken the platinum haired child by surprise; his arms wrapped about her midsection trying to hold her still but Venir still had one trick up her sleeve. "Now!" A bolt of electricity erupted from her staff of tricks, putting more than a few volts in him, and releasing his grip upon her.

    Speculo



    Speculo risked a glance at the flurry of white frills taking people out with her staff and magic cards. These losers weren't very good fighters, but he knew at least a few would be trouble, especially Ros. Ros was one who favored shadows and knives. And for special combat, he had his twin katanas. He was quite good with them, and had an eye for battle.

    "Venir, take out those guys then help me with Ros! He's the ring leader and going to be a tough figh-" "Oh shut up and fight me!"

    Ros surged forward and slashed both blades. Speculo caught them both, on in each hand using his mirrors with intervention casted on them to stop the blows. Ros kept the pressure on the pony-tailed mage, and Speculo's arms quivered.

    "Y-you've gotten stronger Ros.." "And you've gotten faster. I wonder if you've picked up anything else since you left home?" "I dunno, I'm a little hard HEADED!"

    Using the small space left in the middle of both swords, Speculo threw his head into Ros', slamming into his nose. There was a crunch, and Ros stumbled back, holding his bleeding nose.

    "Hah! with your nose like that, tears will well up in your eyes, prohibiting your vision." "I-i can see just fine!" "Oh can you? Well, perfect. Can you see yourself?"

    At this, Speculo casted Mirror Shatter. Creating a small mirror infront of him, pointed at Ros. Ros quickly put his hood over his eyes and backed away. "No! You're not getting me with that cheap trick!"

    OOC: It's ok. I get it. Also, if you need to, go ahead and take control of Ros. He can create magical knives to fly from his cape and his sword slashes can be incredibly fast. any other magic blade stuff you can think of, use it.

    Close your eyes

    With the flow of enemies seemingly endless Venir didn't acknowledge Speculo's statement. She'd do her best to help him once she dealt with her own swarm of goons but for now she trusted Speculo would be fine on his own. Slipping another card out of her holster and placing it upon her staff, the cute object morphed into a silver blade that glistened in the light. These enemies were tough enough to draw out even her strongest of cards.

    ~*~


    Still shielding his eyes from Speculo's trick and simultaneously backing away, Ros created another plethora of knives to fly at Speculo. One of his palms had already found the hilt of his red blades, grasping it so hard that his knuckles turned white from the pressure. Speculo had gotten stronger but so had he. With cloak still pulled over his eyes to prevent him from seeing anymore of Speculo's tricks; Ros had to rely on mostly his hearing. Which helped him notice a certain sharp, crisp sound in the air. It was the sound of another blade, one that was not his own. Ros couldn't help but grin while muttering a simple spell and tossing a few more knives to distract his current opponent. With spell complete a gleaming silver blade flew out of the childs hands and right into his own. A blade constructed out of nothing but the young aces magical power. The metal was far more potent than even his own blades. "Let's see how you like this. First, I'll finish you with this sword and then I'll kill her with her own weapon." He pulled the cloak further down his face to shield his eyes, his nose still throbbing but the bleeding slowed some. With the longsword clasped in both hands he dashed forward, another set of knives flying towards the mirror mage.

    OOC: Alright at this point Ven is occupied with enemies, it's up to you if you want her to do anything or anything to occur. She's a very flexible character so anything works really and I trust you with her (I mean it's not like you're gonna kill her). Other than that, Ros is your backstory you can defeat him whenever you wish! I'm sure you're probably over this exam by now so don't feel obligated or anything!

    Speculo



    Speculo gritted his teeth when Ros wouldn't look at the mirror. The spell didn't last long and quickly evaporated right as Ros threw more knives. The mirror mage dropped to the ground before quickly swinging himself back up in a defensive stance to see Venir's sword fly to Ros' hands. Shit.. now she doesn't have a weapon and is surrounded! But I can't let Ros out of my sight.. "Can you fight without a weapon Venir?" He called to her over his shoulder. Whether she replied or not, he didn't hear.

    Ros lunged at Speculo, slashing in blinding strokes with Venir's sword. Spec kept dancing and hopping around, barely avoiding the blade. A root under the snow caught Spec's foot and before he knew it, he was slashed across his whole body before he even hit the ground. The tip of the blade touch his throat as Ros stood over him.

    "Go out quietly."
    "You know that's not my style Ros." Swinging one of his legs up to the back of Ros' knee, and the other at both his ankle, Ros lost his balance. He tried to skewer Spec through the throat, but from him falling, the blade struck the snow right passed the mage's neck.

    Ros' hand was still on the blade, but a quick punch released his hand, and Spec drew the swoprd and threw it in Venir's direction before Ros was ready with a knife in his hands. Room of a Thousand Mirrors! The Mirror Mage casted on himself, creating a shield that Ros started to send dozens of magical knives at.

    "You can't stay in there forever!"

    One moment her sword was in her hands and the next it was gone. "Eh?" She blinked in surprise looking at her now empty hands. There was no way she dropped it right? She looked between her hands and the enemies that had gathered around her. "Hehehe do you mind waiting a minute?" It was worth a shot right? Apparently, they did not want to oblige the young girl seeing as she was attacked by a myriad of things from weapons to basic spells. Luckily, Venir did have one thing on her side and that happened to her petite size. Diving between a gap between two of the mages, her body hit the snow causing her to slide a few feet away from the men. Which was just in time to see a silver blade flying her way again.

    "Time to repay the favor."

    Her hand grasped the hilt of the blade as it neared her, she pointed the gleaming metal at the conveniently gathered enemies whom had just realize that she was not in between them anymore. "Shoot!" Another barrage of the pink orb of energy hit them, this time much it was more effective seeing as they were all so close together. With the group of enemies somewhat dealt with it was time that Venir repaid Speculo.

    "You're right he can't stay there forever."

    She rushed into Ros with all of her might, slamming into his back shoulder first. She may not have weighed much but at the least the young girl was stronger than she looked thanks to her magical training. She hit him hard enough to send him stumbling forward.

    "Speculo!"

    Speculo



    Speculo held up his magical shield for a short while before the barrage stopped and Venir called out his name. He quickly dissolved the shield and saw Ros and Venir on the ground. Ros was getting on his hands and knees, and Speculo sent a kick into the side of his face. He cried out and rolled onto his back, but Speculo straddled him, wrapping his fingers around Ros' throat. Choking sounds came from his mouth, and Ros was struggeling to get the Mirror Mage.

    Speculo added picking up Ros' head by the neck and slamming it down onto the ground, jarring Ros and quickly defeating the assassin's struggle. "You do NOT! Try to KILL! ME!"

    Life

    It was being taken away right before her eyes. It wasn't the first time that a life had been stolen in front of her, and she knew it wouldn't be the last but there was something wrong about it. The other times she had seen the end of a human life was typically at her guild members hands, but all of those times it was justified and she understood the situation. This time though, Venir didn't really understand the situation save for what she heard during the battle.

    "Stop!"

    Her hands were gentle upon Speculo's arms hoping to have the mirror mage at least loosen his grip upon the other man's throat. She glanced warily at the now unconscious wizard, who was out from more than a simple lack of oxygen. "He was your friend wasn't he?" She inquired with worry, it was the only reason that she stepped in. She herself didn't believe in the killing of others, she only hurt them when necessary, but never killed. Her guild mates didn't really follow that guideline but she knew in her heart that they wouldn't have tried to kill one another, at least not willingly. "I'm not sure why you two are in conflict." Speculo had promised to tell her of it later but she simply couldn't wait till later, "But if you two were once friends or even guild mates I want you to think about this before you do anything rash." She urged, "I won't stop you but please just consider what you're about to do." To match her words she let go of his arm, and even took a small step back, and firmly planted her blade into the ground.

    "Unlike monsters, humans are capable of change, and of redeeming themselves."

    It was a lesson taught to her by a guild mate that had long since disappeared, but she held the words close to her heart. They were words that she lived by, and words that she preached to the other members of Eclipse Soul.

    Speculo



    "Stop!"

    Speculo stopped his assault on the unconscious assassin as Venir lightly grabbed his arm and called out to him. Then she started to talk to him. Talk to him as if Ros was a comrad or a friend or even a teammate. The mage set Ros' head down but slowly shook his head.

    "Venir, this man.. he isn't what other guilds have. He's no comrade or friend. Just because we grew up together means nothing. Where we were both raised, where everyone here except you were raised.." He chuckled a little, sadly. "It was only about how much money you stole, and the amount of blood on your hands. There were no friends." He turned back to Ros on the ground.

    "Now he's come after me, hoping to get my blood on his hands. Leaving him alive would only mean more people die..." He had been there a few times. He witnessed what they did. Men, women, and the last one Speculo ever saw, was a child. That poor boy... Just trying to defend his mother...

    He looked down the mountain at the clouds far off. There were some pretty black ones coming. "Looks to me like a storm. Come on, let's get to the top of this mountain then get off quick."

    He scavenged in the snow quickly to find the bag of logs, reclaiming it. "Trust me, these bastards deserve to freeze to death. Get on my back again if you want." He started up the steep stone steps once more, getting back to the test like everything that just happened was nothing.

    Venir bit her lip as Speculo explained the situation to her. It was hard for her to wrap her head around the idea of such a ruthless guild with little to no camaraderie. Other dark guilds she knew at least held some sort of bond but to be in a guild filled with such ruthlessness was unimaginable. Despite being unable to understand it, Venir did at least respect his wishes. "To choose between saving one life or many lives." She supposed that Ros' death wouldn't be much of a loss if it meant that others lives would be spared but that felt like a poor solution instead of getting to the real root of the problem. Not to mention Venir refused to bloody her own hands but if Speculo so wished to finish Ros then she made no move to stop him.

    Taking one last glance at the unconscious mages Venir followed after Speculo, more than a little worried. The wind was picking up, the first bits of snow already falling through the air. The icy wind nipped at her nose, and made her cheeks flush to keep the cold at bay. Yet her mind flickered back to the guild of mages who knew nothing of friendship. Her gaze flickered over to Speculo, silently observing the mirror mage who seemed to be fine or at least acted like nothing of any significance had happened. If his old guild was filled with such devoted members, who knew of nothing but killing and money, then why was it that Speculo was still not with them. The others seemed so devoted, ready to die for their guild, and bring down an old member without a second thought. "He still seems to hold their ruthlessness. He didn't think twice about cutting down any of them but-" Why wasn't he devoted to the guild, why did he leave?

    As she pondered over her questions, Venir fell silent. Not a single word escaped her lips at least not until they reached the top of the stone steps. The stormy skies did not diminish the view of the pheonix mountains in the slightest, the sight was still something to be remembered. "Last question and then you're free." Venir promised, her young visage donning a serious expression, "Why is it that you left your guild?" She may not have completely understood his circumstances but there were people within Eclipse Soul who might, but of course that all depended on just what Speculo was after, what it was that motivated him.

    Speculo



    Speculo could feel the cold getting at his face. His ears and nose ached, and in response he held his coat collar closer to his face with one hand as the other held the bag of logs. Dang, it was getting heavy. He didn't say any more words, and neither did Venir on their trek up to the top of the mountain.

    When they reached the peak, his breath was taken from him. The view.. it was... beyond gorgeous. But Venir broke his trance on the beautiful sight before him with a question. He looked at her, standing behind him, over his shoulder. He took a deep breath, then started to speak.

    "To understand that, you need to know how I found myself in it. My earliest memories are filled with my mother, although I do not know her face. She was a mage like me, and used the same type of magic. I learned the very basics from her. But I was far too young then. One day I... I was just, in Treasure Coffer. Never saw my mother again. In the back of my mind I know something happened, but I either don't remember or can't remember. "

    He took a shuddering breath filled with loneliness.

    "And then, day to day, I was treated like a brat, but I was still part of the guild. They taught me how to fight, despite how I protested. They forced me to work on my magic. I was dragged along on some missions, and they made me steal from houses as they... dealt... with the owners outside. Ros was from a similar situation like mine, except he accepted the way things were going on and embraced them. The last mission they made me go on...."

    A tear fell down his cheek. He didn't care if Venir saw.

    "A young boy was woken up when my.. guildmates.. broke into his home. They were after his mother. She was some politician woman, lots of money and jewelry. He ran into the room and blocked the way between them and his mother. Without a second thought they..."

    He paused for a long moment here.

    "They killed the boy like his was trash in the way of their prize. After that I couldn't stay. I erased the guild mark that they gave me and started walking east."

    He turned to her, red-eyed and red-nosed. "So, was the wood just for challenge or do we build something?"

    Venir couldn't help but get choked up as well at Speculo's story. She sniffled and when she caught sight of a tear, she finally gave him a hug struggling to wrap her small arms about his waist. She didn't say much just gave him a firm squeeze, while trying to hide her own tears. She was an overly emotional being but that was what made her one of the most approachable members in her guild. She wore her heart on her sleeve, and always tried to understand others even if it was hard for her considering her lack of memory. It made her hesitant to try and recover her own memory, if something like this was awaiting her. Yet she shook the thought out of her head as quickly as it came, and instead gave Speculo one last squeeze before releasing him from her vice like grip.

    She wiped away any stray tears from her ruby gems before finally managing to give him a smile. "We sure look worse for ware." She mused aloud at both of their red eyes, and noses to match. "The logs were just for a physical challenge though a fire might be nice with this weather." Though, a fire wouldn't do either of them much good if it was anything like the blizzards that often hit the Phoenix mountains. "Well, Speculo." The mage still in the form of a child turned her attention from the view to the mirror mage, "I hereby declare you a C-Rank mage. I trust that you can make it down the mountain on your own." He had proven himself to be more than capable on the journey up, and surely his old guild wouldn't be lurking around for another fight not after such a defeat.

    "If you ever need help. Just call me or Eclipse Soul for that matter."

    [END]
