Dearly Departed (Kaisto and Iza's Job)

The Job:

It was a early Wednesday morning, the Black Rose guild was busy as ever with their jobs and just regular gossip around the area, near the bar counter sitting on a stool with a glass of water drinking it was a peculiar brown, spiky haired boy with a 4 foot long sword on his back, He wore a red jacket with a black shirt underneath it but wore white pants and black boots along with brownish-black glove/gauntlets...Kaisto Tyreal was his name..and today was a day that would impact his life for a while.

As he sat there at the bar counter a mysterious man in a slick black pin striped suit. He handed him a letter and said "For you" he said as he turned around and made his way out of the guildhall, Kaisto looked at the unopened letter as it said his name on the back, he opened it up and started reading it, 'Dear old friend I don't know if you remember me but I need your help. A strange cursed has swept across my home land destroyed most of the population. I managed to escape, and am now in hiding, but while I was escaping from those creatures one of them bit me. Within the envelope I have placed my current location I am currently at an old cabin in the cursed lands, please come as soon as you can as I am beginning to feel rather feverous. Yours Truly Cassia' Kaisto was shocked, he knew her years ago, they had been friends and even kept in contact till about 2 weeks ago and now it made sense, Kaisto quickly then rushed over to the notice board and quickly scanned it for the job and when he saw the notice he quickly grabbed it and was shocked...what Cassia said true...the land Cassia's village was on was cursed.

Kaisto was still looking at the when he was surprised by the girl coming over to him and introducing herself, it shocked him slightly since he wasn't expecting it. "O-Oh me? Y-Yes i'm new here" he then bowed his head to her and held out a hand "I'm Kaisto Tyreal it's wonderful to meet you Izayuki..." he sighed and then looked back down at the job and then got an idea.

"Ms. Izayuki, umm i must ask but i have sorta an urgent matter but I was wanting to know if you are wanting to take a job with me here" he then handed her the job request for her to see it and get her opinion on it. "I honestly would appreciate the help with this matter, for it is a personal one to me." he then held up the letter "The letter i got today was from a friend there, she said that she is feverish and i'm worried that she would be ill and in danger" he said truthfully to her.

Kaisto blinked as she snatched and read his letter and handed it back to him with the smile she had on her face, he was surprised she accepted but smiled when she asked where to start. "Thank you Iza" he then looked at the letter and then the job request and then said "Iza we need to head to the Cursed Lands, in there should be a cabin and that's where Cassia is, hopefully shes used her magic to keep herself safe."

He went back over to the Bar and grabbed a sheathed sword and walked back over to her and smirked "if you want we can leave now, I'm itching to get out there and figure out what the heck is going on." he chuckled as he put the sheaths strap over his shoulder and across his chest so that he could unsheathe from his back, and rolled his shoulders to feel ready and pumped to get this job going on.

Kaisto had followed her and when he saw her transform he blinked and was shocked to see a giant vermillion phoenix standing now where the girl was before. "W-What?! How...Who....HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THIS?!" He stammered at first then finally got it all out, he shook his head rapidly and sighed quickly and took in a breath "Sorry that's just new to me"

Kaisto then went over and quickly got situated on the back of Iza and got comfortable while he was there, "I swear you better not make a joke of how i got on top of you" he said trying to lighten the mood with a joke, he always did that when he was either nervous or he was jittery about something....this time it was both since he wasn't scared about heights just scared of flying. "P-please tell me that you can fly fast and not make someone sorta air sick and motion sick at the same time?" he nervously asked her.

Before Kaisto could speak another word Iza had already taken off for flight which he clung to her like nothing else before. He hated heights he hated motion sickness and air sickness he was all around a horrible mess as they flew to the Cursed Lands which was were Kaisto needed to go to save his good friend Cassia from whatever was lurking in the Cursed Lands.

When they landed of course Iza was cautious looking around, all Kaisto could do was fall off and land face first to the ground, he was a mess with wanting to just have the swirlyness in his head to quit and let him have a moments rest. When it did subside he saw the lands...decimated, black and eerie looking, he slowly stood up and looked at it fully "My god....its worse then i thought Iza. We've gotta hurry and find Cassia, hopefully shes safe and we can bring her back to the guild for treatment"

This was not Izayuki's first time in the Cursed Lands... Nevertheless, it was not the prettiest or most calming sight to see. Dark, eerie, gloomy, and overall a rather despairing stretch of land, the troubled terrain could be seen all around the vermillion bird and the man. Not quite unnerved by the place but still maintaining her guard and senses, Izayuki shifted back into her human form and walked up to travel alongside her companion, giving a quiet nod as she scanned the area with suspicious pink eyes.
Something was not quite right. She wanted to speak in the light manner that could usually be associated with her, however, the setting seemed off. They were not alone.
The smell of the vicinity was musty and rotten, smelling of decay and death. Izayuki knew, understood, and remembered the scent all too well. One would have thought she would be used to it by now...

Kaisto was walking forward before he stopped mid step and looked forward, he slowly stepped back drawing out his sword, The Red Queen, and placed both hands on the hilt "Iza...get ready cause we are not...alone".

As Kaisto finished his sentence two wolves stepped out of the forest, eyes glowing yellow but what was wicked about them was that they could see the evil aura emanating off of them, their maws dripping with white foam and even parts of their bodies deformed and ravaged making them look like unholy beings from hell. But was even more surprising was that something came clawing out of the ground but not disturbing it much, as the thing stood there it levitated over the ground, again its body ravaged to look unholy, darkness emanating off of it as well but its body was translucent they could see through it, turns out it was a spirit, a ghost in other words, but what was more creepy was it seemed to command the wolves as the spirit held its hand up and then the wolves snarled and started running at them.

Two ghost people and two ghost wolves? They ain't got nothin' on the duo who had dared to enter the cursed lands... right? A grin creeping to her face as the promise of action brought a strange enthusiasm and excitement, Izayuki braced herself as one of the demonic wolves came racing towards her, followed by one of the ghosts. A quick and well-aimed punch to the canine apparition made it vanish in the blink of an eye. Her other punch, however, went straight through the ghost with no effect. As soon as that had happened, the ghost made it's own attack, which was successful and at least mildly painful.

"Heh, you're an interesting one~" she said with a small laugh, leaping back a few meters to face her opponent and trying to seem unfazed by the tiny injury. As the spirit came rushing for her once again, Izayuki put a hand out in front of her, activating a simple, yet fairly strong spell. "Ousaru Kogoeru."
The name of the spell, and instantly, the ghost began to freeze right on the spot to the point where it was stuck in place, frozen completely. Walking casually over to her new 'ice statue' with a smirk, Izayuki knocked on it mildly with the knuckles of her hand and watched it shatter to tiny fragments of ice.

As Iza dealt with the a wolf and a ghost, Kaisto was taken back as his focus jumped quickly to a wolf that had pinned him to the ground clawing at him scratching up his arm and his side some too making him wince in pain but he some how managed to shove the wolf off him allowing him to get to a knee. Kaisto then looked up as the wolf lunged again but suddenly it disappeared like Iza's, due to the fact that Kaisto had thrusted up and pierced it with his sword, The Red Queen.

Kaisto slowly stood up as the Ghostly hissed wickedly at Kaisto as he held his sword towards it before it charged at him flailing blindly at Kaisto. Though the thing was that Kaisto was good with a sword which made him some what more nimble with it in blocking the attacks by the Ghost. When Kaisto was back away from him he chuckled and held up his gun as the hilt started rotating like a Gatling Gun
"FIREBALL CANNON!"
He quickly covered his eyes since Iza wasn't facing him she was safe from its blinding effect as well, and blasted all twelve gun shots from his hilt at the ghost, and when the shots landed at the ground at the feet of the Ghost, the flames from the shots incinerated the Ghost as its last sounds was a ghostly wail. When those enemies were defeated Kaisto panted a bit as he opened the hilt area and pulled off the empty cartridge of bullets of the hilt to let it cool down a bit as they got this moment of rest.

'Monster Dice' :

Kaisto's fighting skills seemed to be top-notch. He had been grazed, yes, but otherwise seemed fine, having won, and ready for more action. Next to appear- four ghosts and one more ghost-wolf. This was fine, and Izayuki gave another sly and daring grin as three ghosts advanced towards her, their hands outstretched as if they wished to grab at her very being? Possession attempt? Nice try! Leave that to the experts... she thought, smile widening and they made their move towards her. "Stand back, Kaisto...~"

Taking a deep breath in, Izayuki gazed directly in the ghost trio's direction, gathering any cold energy to her core. Three.... Two.... One.... Out with it! "Glacier God Howl~!" she said, casting her spell and unleashing a swirling vortex of freezing ice, snow, and a general blizzard at the three phantoms. The special slayer spell, however, was black in color- the ice laced with darkness. It managed to fulfill its purpose and stop the ghosts in their tracks, though, and that was good enough for her. Upon being frozen in place, Izayuki dashed towards them, shattering each obsidian-hued iced sculpture to many tiny pieces. Only a ghost and a wolf left...

Kaisto found her power to be very impressive all the attackers frozen save for one wolf but the ghost was half frozen and crawling on the ground hissing and all that. The wolf then lunged at the young man as he used his blade to block the bite but then grabbed the wolf by the scruff and pulled and pinned it to the ground and then used his sword like a knife and then started repeatedly stabbing it over and over to the point he was covered in its blood and dead in his hands, he ended up muttering something in a foreign language which came out as "
tá divines trócaire ar do anam ... agus ar mianach ró-" he then stood up and let the dead wolf go and then walked over to frozen ghost as it tried to claw him but Kaisto was in no mood for this so he walked to the side and then slammed his fist as he held the handle of the sword, down straight into the frozen part of the ghost breaking it straight in half and killing the ghost as he had a few shards of ice in his hand but nothing that hurt or debilitated him any.

( ooc: btw the saying means "Divines have mercy on your soul...and on mine too")

Izayuki stood back and watched the man finish off the remaining wolf and half-frozen ghost. It was amazing that he fared so well without use of magic... He definitely had incredible potential, even as a D rank. Grinning, the youthful Mage clapped slowly for the sake of her usual humor, walking over to Kaisto once he had finished with the ghost. "Nice," she said, her grin evolving more to a toothy smile even in the gloom of that accursed land. "I don't see anyone else here to give us trouble. So, where to next, boss?"
They were getting closer to their goal- finding the young man's old friend, Cassia, and answering her distressed plea for help. Surely it could not be too bad... They were almost there. Hopefully all would be right with his old comrade, even in the dark and forsaken land she seemed to be stranded in. They could only hope, but Iza remained optimistic in thought about it. Surely rescuingn her would not be too hard.

Kaisto huffed and looked at Iza and nodded, The two of them soon turned and started walking into the Forsaken Lands even further. It seemed like a twisting corridor of trees, stumps and shrubs everywhere, in all honesty Kaisto didn't know where he was going or where he needed to go all he knew was that Cassia, his long time friend, was in trouble and was in a cabin in these forsaken woods.

After about an hour of trekking and resting here and there as they looked, between some trees Kaisto saw what looked like a window from where he was to a cabin there, this had to be it, Kaisto then grabbed Iza's hand and said "come on i think this is it!" he ran with he to the door and knocked on the door and there was no answer, he was worried he was to late so he hastily kicked in the door to a dark cabin. Kaisto reached for his sword and slowly entered as he drew it and Iza right on his heels following.

Izayuki remained silent, thankfully not the least bit tired after all of the walking. The fact that nobody answered the door, however, was rather eerie and worrisome. Was this person, Cassia, okay? Summoning a nodachi made of a glistening black ice from one of her lower-ranked spells, the God Slayer moved forward directly behind her companion, scanning to and fro with her light pink eyes. The nodachi was one of her favorite swords, as she found the length comforting and overall easy to handle. Hopefully, however, she would not have to use it.
"Anyone home~?" Izayuki said aloud with an edge to her voice, eyes narrowing suspiciously. Just who lurked in the shadows of that house? Too many unfortunate surprises, and they would find her weapon of ice and darkness run through them. This was not much of a game anymore, but the yokai was not about to allow fear or apprehension to get the better of her- especially in a place like this.

Kaisto looked around and saw that the cabin was empty, embers still fresh in the fireplace to the left of them, there had been freshly baked soup there on a makeshift table but only things left was a bed and a night stand. Kaisto sighed and re-sheathed his sword, he then stepped in and knelt down to the ground and sighed "shes gone..." he stated as apparently his friend had left very recently but why... "why did she leave...? she had to stay here and be safe, i know she had magic but why leave if she could protect herself?" he had so many questions but he was upset so he punched the ground and gritted his teeth.."WHY!" he yelled getting madder but then he stopped and said back to Iza "i think maybe we should leave, maybe we can get a lead back at the guild..." He stood up and walked back to her and looked down "sorry about yelling it just...upsets me"
