A new story(Private/Invite only)

The raging volcano was said to be one of the few active volcanoes nearby. However, the fact it was a volcano did not bother Magna. No, the danger of areas had never bothered him when there were ingredients to gather and the raging volcano was said to be a place where volcano ash salt could be found. The volcano ash salt was produced due to the high level of salt minerals within the rock and thus every time it erupted it produced large amounts of the salt which stayed present for a long time. The species nearby were thus naturally salted by it and one such species, the magma rat, was an excellent source of protein and with it being naturally salted it was a delicious meal. It had been a while since he'd had such an ingredient so he was heading there for the salt and the rats themselves. Yet these two were not the only reason he was heading to the volcano. He'd heard rumours recently that a rare ingredient had begun to be produced there. Something that he'd faced in a cooking duel and wanted to add to his repertoire, the legendary magma consomme. With that it was likely that lots of other creatures would be gathering to get that ingredient. It was a perfect chance.

However, even if there hadn't been a single ingredient present there he would of headed to the volcano on that day. Within his body resided two animal spirits, both spider monkeys. One wielded the element of fire and the other the element of cold. He named them Toasty and Frosty respectively and Toasty had recently been expressing quite an interest in coming to the volcano, but had not mentioned why. Frosty also had a destination in mind, but felt that Toasty's should be visisted first. So with two parts of his very being wanting to go there he couldn't exactl say no. The ingredients were just a bonus.

He stretched his arms and began to walk up the mountain using his size changing frying pan's handle as a staff to allow for easier walking and what's more provide extra grip. It would also work as a good defense if an eruption happened or some other fire based event happened. It was probably his second most useful tool. "I wonder if there will be any magmacaroni gratin up there too." he said to himself as he walked. That would make the journey even more worthwhile. As he proceeded up the mountain he began to have a sense of foreboding. Even Toasty seemed to be on edge and he was the one who had persuaded Magna to come this way. Magna hoped for an uneventful trip, but he had a strange feeling he wouldn't be getting one.

"hrm, do you smell that Rumbly, ho ho looks like a snack waltzed right in the front door." Whispered a woman from high up on the rocks of the volcano. They were watching Magna hunt for ingredients from above behind them a rather large gecko snacked on a rather salty rat. "Hey Rumbly, were you listening to me?" The woman asked turning to the gecko which looked up and stared at her with the dumbest look ever imagined. "YOU WEREN'T YOU DUMB LIZARD HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO OUR JOB IF YOU'RE SO BUSY EATING SALTY RATS!" She screamed in anger. "You should be quiet, by analysis you have already alerted your target to your presence." A somewhat inhuman voice piped up causing the woman to throw her hands in front of her lips and slowly creek her head to face Magna's direction. "He did it on purpose." She muttered. "Relying on the intelligence of an animal it is to be expected that you wouldn't get far, especially when said animal is only a lizard." Spoke the monotone voice once again. "For now you should re-establish your secrecy, you will only make things more difficult otherwise." The woman grumbled something about working as a hood flew over her head shrouding her appearance and then as soon as they had announced their presence they were gone, though clearly they were still in the area.

Magna's sharp ears cocked up to the sound of shouting. Someone was up here for a job of sorts and there partner was too busy eating salty rats to help? Well, that was a rather odd situation to run into. He hadn't expected that at all. Few people tended to come up to the volcano in fear of being hit by an eruption or even a geyser. What's more he didn't know anyone else who knew about the magma rats and their natural saltiness. It seemed someone had good taste and good knowledge or perhaps just good instinct or perhaps 'food' luck. It did not matter. He was curious as to what the job was and his natural helpeful nature caused him to want to help. He focused and shrunk the pan down before strapping it to his waist and then leapt into the air using his gauntlets to propel himself in the direction of the voice. He wondered if this was the right thing to do. Even if it wasn't it seemed this was the way to go to get some magma rats for his ingredient stores. That was rather useful information to get for free. It paid to keep one's ears open.

"Hey there. If you need a hand with whatever job it is i'm happy to oblige. Also, do you mind sharing some of those rats?" he asked as he came nearby. The rats fur would be useful when he got further up because it could withstand intense heat far beyond what most other material could do. He was a little suspicious of the voices, but if they were intending bad deeds whilst up here then he could stop them. He had no idea they were planning on targeting him.

As Magna neared the area where the shouting came from it would quickly reveal that the only thing there was a rather large lizard. The Lizard clearly wasn't native to this area but it also showed hints of being somewhat of a rare species, the gecko also appeared to be extremely dumb as a rat tail got sucked in through the crack of his mouth. The lizard did barely anything it just sat there and stared at Magna until another rat ran across the ground only to be snapped up by the gecko nearly instantly after catching its eye.

"That damn reptile, he intentionally blew our cover." The woman whispered to another accomplice. "Your trust in wildlife is dumbfounding, clearly you don't expect him to act like you, makes me question your intelligence." The monotone voice spoke back to her. "SHUT IT BRAIN HEAD!" She screamed almost certainly blowing their cover. "No, I no longer have an question of your intelligence, you are clearly dumber than Rumbly." The voice now had simulated hints of annoyance. "AHHHHHH I'M THE ONE AT FAULT FOR EVERYTHING GOING WRONG!" The woman suddenly shouted. "And you just realized this now." Suddenly the woman jumped out from the cave and pointed a finger directly at Magna. "Listen, we aren't about to give up our turf and you are not about to touch my partner as though he is some sort of food, ya hear!" She screamed angrily at Magna, she looked rather goofy given that she was trying to wear a hood yet had two large horns sticking out of her head making the hood practically useless. "Actually, Rumbly is female." The second voice retorted causing the woman's jaw to drop to the ground. "No way." The second voice seemed to belong to a fully cloaked figure that had no discernible features who then revealed himself behind the woman. "I can't believe she didn't know."

The Gecko:

The Woman:

Magna initially paused as he saw the lizard. It wasn't a species he recognised and in truth, besides snakes, he wasn't skilled at preparing reptiles. They had never really been something he'd considered as parts of his repertoire. Or at least not yet. One day he hoped to be able to cook anything, including the very air itself, to feed the masses, but he was not yet at that stage. He thought at first that the lizard had been the one speaking, but then a voice called out, clearly angry at someone, out of nowhere. It then blamed itself for things going wrong before emerging to reveal a rather well endowed, at least in terms of the chest area, woman wearing rather little. Her outfit consisted of short black shorts and a black top that showed off most of the stomach, the arms and a lot of chest. She seemed to have a hood to her cloak that she was trying to wear but this didn't seem to be working because of the horns that clearly marked her as a non-human or at least a non-pure human. He himself wasn't a pure human anymore since the animal spirits awakening so he didn't have any prejudice against them. In fact, he never had and it would of been bad if he had considering most, if not all, of the guild were part humans.

"I had no intention of eating your friend. Nor did I come here for your turf. Just to collect some ingredients like the rats and salt that this area is famous for." he said calmly as the second figure revealed itself and revealed that the lizard, now revealed as Rumbly, was actually female much to the surprise of the horned woman.

"Well its not that surprising. Unless you know how to look reptiles gender isn't as obvious as, to use an example, monkeys." he replied trying to keep the situation friendly. It looked like the woman might want a fight of some kind and he didn't really though he would if it came to it. "So whats the job you mentioned and do you need any help? You can pay me in the salt and rats, plus any other ingredients we find, if you like."

The hooded figure for some reason was causing him some apprehension and both spirits appeared nervous. Perhaps he was a threat. It wasn't clear though. Not yet anyway

There was a long pause as Magna addressed the woman and her companion as the woman blinked what seemed to be a million times. HE'S HOT! Was her only subconscious response resulting in her falling over and hitting her head on a rock. "You're thinking too much with your want of a husband again, you really put us in a terrible situation, you know I'm not built for combat." The monotone voice only fell on deaf ears as the woman was clean out of consciousness which only resulted in what should have been a facepalm from the other cloaked figure, only they didn't show their hands at all. "We are at an impasse as our proper fighter has already been dealt with, I will have to ensure proper discipline is issued by Storyteller, however Human I advise you back away from that creature, I can not gather any data if you are dead." The monotone voice spoke though it seemed to be too late as Rumbly's tongue made contact with Magna's cheek. "Oh, I was too late." It spoke once again as a massive amount of force was issued through the contact of the tongue and Magna's skin, the force was heavy enough that any normal person would have had their skull pulverized even the ground left a small crater where Magna was standing. Rumbly, the power of The Quake, the ability to magnify the force of contact when it touches things, to the point that it can shatter a mountain, truly the peak of offense power within the Withered Lotus. Even if the human is turned to dust I will gain useful data, perhaps I didn't need to warn him after all.

Magna's attention was caught as the woman suddenly fell on her face, hitting her head on a rock and falling unconscious. He dashed forward over to the woman intent on checking she was ok and if he could help her if she wasn't. It was his natural instinct to help people and he'd already offered them help with their job. Plus he felt somewhat responsible even if he wasn't sure exactly why. However, his attention was once again caught as the man mentioned a rather key phrase 'Storyteller'. It was not someone he had encountered himself. Nor was it someone he knew too much about, but he recalled that his fellow ace Irina had mentioned something about it. Hadn't he almost killed her? That wasn't good if these people were associated with him.

Before he had a chance to react though the tongue of Rumbly shot out and hit him in the cheek. The initial blow was practically nothing, but a fraction of a second later he felt as if he'd been hit in the face by a cannon at close range and was sent flying heavily into a wall the side of his head heavily damage and bleeded. His actual skull had been dented by the blow. He wasn't down though. No, a normal human would of been killed by that blow, but Magna was a high ranking mage who'd been through a lot of fights. Plus he was a slayer and thus his endurance was higher than most. It had to be as he had to deal with cerberi.

He placed his hands against the rock and blasted himself out pulling a few chunks of rock with him which he tossed towards the gecko and hooded man with apparent ease. As they left his hands his fists clenched and he let out a punch that sent out a blast of kinetic energy that accelerated the rocks thus increasing their impact heavily. This brief moment was what he needed to utilise one of his spells to form a golden vapour which he inhaled. The wound began to slowly, and rather painfully, heal itself as the skull broke and fixed repeatedly to get it back into shape. Well, not the whole skill, but the area near the impact. IT looked quite grotesque as his cheek and jaw rippled and bulged strangely. It seemed he'd been right to fear the mention of the word story teller.

Well, if these guys wanted a fight he'd give it to them. The hooded man said he wasn't a fighter, but that could be a lie. The woman appeared unconcious but that could be false. The lizard hadn't appeared a threat but that tongue attack had nearly one shotted him. That thing was dangerous. The question was whether it was the initial blow that had sent the impact through him or if the touch had been required to channel the effect. If he'd been able to watch it he'd know, but he hadn't and as such he was at a loss. His best was not to get hit by it again or to take it out of the equation entirely. For that there was one or two tricks he had which should make that lizard regret sticking its tongue out at the monkey chef

"This is unexpected, no one has ever successfully survived a shock from The Quake before, but you are far from safe." The monotone voice spoke through the cloud of smoke as though he was capable of seeing through it like it was thin air. "Your capabilities are curious, if I am not mistaking they are designed to cook but also, you are a slayer of some sort." The cloaked figure came back into view with a strange blue glow coming from its eyes dimly highlighting the rather blocky texture of his face though he was still a huge mystery. "But you still end here Human, Rumbly's tongue is far from what is terrifying about her, it is how she fights." He spoke ominously as the dust cleared to reveal Rumbly now taking up a boxer stance and even donned boxing gloves. "Behold Gecko boxing." The monotone voice announced as the Gecko took two jabs with it's right hand... foot... something and a single one with its left at the air causing the air to shoot out shockwaves at the Black Rose Ace. Watching from the clouds a another person frowned as they watched the fight begin bellow. "The idiots." This person muttered clearly out of earshot of anyone on the ground as red lightning streaked through the clouds above.

]"Boxing huh?" he said with a slight smirk and assumed a boxing stancing himself and thrusting out four strikes with his left followed by two with his right. This sent out blasts of concussive energy that would be a viable counter for the vibrations. "You talk as if I should be surprised at seeing something like that." As he had thrust his hands forward for the punches he had tapped his foot on the ground causing a pit to open beneath the feet of the gecko. It was 10m in radius with a 20m depth. Once the gecko dropped, if it did, the pit would swing shut and begin to heat up rapidly. This probably wouldn't be that effective on a lizard. Lizards were used to heat and this was a volcano. Then again because the rock would naturally be quite hot the pit itself would heat up even higher. The sides might even turn to magma though that wasn't guranteed. It was in truth one of his weakest spells, but even weak spells had their uses.

"So why are you attacking me anyway?" he asked curiously. "And what's the story teller got against Black Rose?" For now he'd hold back his magic. He didn't see any reason to go more all out yet.

"I see so a man like you is not easily phased, however do you really think locking a creature like that in a heat chamber made of the very mountain would be in any way effective?" The monotone voice asked as it kicked the woman on the ground waking her up. "Stop pretending to be dead, your beloved pet is about to get cooked." He demanded prompting her to jolt up and starts shouting with an angry face. "WHAT THE HELL I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T GOING TO COOK HIM!" The other figure shook their head. "Rumbly's a her." He corrected causing the woman's jaw to drop once again. "I didn't know that." The monotone one turned back into the cave leaving the woman to deal with Magna. "As for an answer to your question, we are simply following orders as was Storyteller." He said as he vanished into the black.

"I'M GOING TO GUT YOU LIKE THE LIAR YOU ARE!" The woman screamed as she pulled a rather large sword out of thing air and immediately took a swing for Magna's head. The swing was quite fast for something that appeared to be heavy and beyond that it appeared to be a normal swing until the entire mountain shook unnaturally. "They call me Edge, I am able to cut anything I damn well please." The woman growled angrily as the walls of the cave and the rocks surrounding the cave had a smooth cut in them almost as if they had been cut with rock cutter, whats more, the range of the slash was much larger than the blade's length. "I'm going to kill you for trying to roast Rumbly."

As he dodged out of the way of the blade swing and saw the damage he realised he might be a little bit out of his league here. Rumbly alone or this woman alone he probably could handle, but both of them at once would be tricky and there was still this third person. "Quick correction. I didn't say I wouldn't cook him. I said I wouldn't eat him." he said trying to use the woman's apparent mental issues against her. "Plus I merely locked him in a pit out of the way for a little bit as he was trying to knock my head off."

Suddenly he moved in close to her extending blades from his gaunlets that appeared to be made of a translucent energy. With a quick stab he struck at her shoulder and upper leg aiming to disable her quickly. The attacks, if they hit, would not appear to cut the individual, but they would seem to disable the areas hit. This was because the blades were made of soul energy and hit the soul rather than the body and as such would temporarily sever the bodies ability to use those limbs. With that he leaped back and prepared himself.

"Orders from who?" he asked curiously. His opponents were a powerful blunt force attacker and a powerful bladed attacker. Not to mention whatever this third person was capable of. Without Aegis to aid him this was going to be very tough. He might have to go a bit more all out then he normally did.

The woman gritted her teeth as the makeshift glowing weapons made contact with her skin, it was strange to her, they seemed to do nothing at all to her. "Hmph what's this trickery of the eyes? AND YOUR TAUNTS WONT WORK ANYMORE!" She screamed taking up an angry stance moving as though the blades had no effect on her at all. The ground began to rumble beneath the two of them as they skirmished. The woman took the opportunity to take another swing at Magna, however only one of her arms swung the sword and she didn't advance at all. "The hell is this?" She grumbled as her knee trembled and her other arm fell limp. "You have some sort of disabling crap?" She grumbled as Rumbly shot out of the ground right behind Magna with tons of molten rocks flying into the air with her. "Damnit Rumbly, what took you so long!" She screamed as all the molten rocks that had flown in her blades path got cut in two. "Woops I almost cut Rumbly." She shrugged her disabled shoulder as if she was trying to rub the back of her head with her disabled hand. "Say, Yujuki what were the orders you were given." Spoke another woman who had appeared behind the one now known as Yujuki. "I recall them being something along the lines of observation not murder." Yujuki seemed to start sweating bullets and Rumbly turned tail and began to run away from the scene. "Isn't what you are doing now... breaking orders." The second woman said looking up a little revealing red eyes that to Magna might look extremely familiar. "Lu... Lumisia?" Yujuki turned to face the one standing behind her as a fist hit her dead in the gut hard enough to send her flying towards Rumbly at incredible speeds and essentially knocking both of them out at the same time. "Greatest offensive power my ass, you two are a disgrace." The new woman grumbled now showing off her full glory with the only obstruction miles away.

New Woman:

The blows Magna had struck had been enough to take out the arm and almost the leg. That alone made the battle a lot easier as the swings could not be done as quickly or with as much force. Yet it seemed luck was not with him because with a rumble the lizard emerged once more hurling the molten rocks with force. One hit him on the gauntlet and the impact sent him sliding. The others were cut to pieces by the Edge. Or as was soon to be revealed Yujuki. A woman appeared behind her and spoke about orders of observation and not killing. A woman who with a single blow sent the first woman into Rumbly and knocking both unconcious with ease. Magna wasn't exactly sure how to react to this, but prepared himself into a defensive stance.

"So...Lumisia was it? What do you want with me? What do your group want with Black Rose?" Magna said trying to get her talking so that he could work out why those eyes looked so familar. Had he met this woman before? No, of that he was fairly certain. He was sure he hadn't met her which meant he knew or had met someone with similar eyes, but who. "If you want to observe me come to the kitchen and you'll see exactly what i'm about."

If this woman revealed that her group were a threat to Black Rose then he would take them out one way or the other. Hopefully non-lethally, but there was no gurantee. "Who are you people anyway?"

"Kitchen huh, well that would be interesting to see given how big my appetite happens to be, but on the other hand don't call me Lumisia that is only my last name, call me Serria." She seemed a lot less angry now that the other two had been knocked away. "I'm not here on orders, so you can feel less tense, I have no intention of causing problems now and considering out cover is blown it wouldn't do anyone any good to continue fighting." She sat down on the ground and pulled out a thermos and poured herself some sort of drink. "So given that you are a cook given by saying that the real show is in the kitchen, you must have cooking based magic which I find somewhat uninteresting, but there is something you did that has peaked my interest." She took a sip of her drink and then held out her hand which was followed by a blue glow which formed into a sort of sword. "Something similar to this, the six of us call it soul forge and at one point all of us could use it but one of us seems to have forgotten, I find this interesting cause very few humans can use soul forge which means that yours must be different." The sword dissipated as she reached over for another sip of her drink, looking Magna dead in the eye her expression changed from relaxed to somewhat serious. "So tell me cook, what exactly did you use if it isn't soul forge?" She questioned Magna. "And I would be careful, I don't respond to lies very well." She threatened clenching her armored fist.

"Apologises. Its what the other woman called you so I assumed it was your first name. I'm Magna by the way." he said deciding that honesty was the best policy though of course he wouldn't tell her everything of course. That was not his style. Chefs had their secrets. The sword she summoned up as an example looked familiar yet different. It was similar to the cerberus slayer magic enfused soul knives he'd used against the Edge and had been intending to use against Rumbly. [color=darked]"I don't know what soul forge is, but by the name i'm guessing you're on about what I did to your...companion's...arm." he was hesitant even about the term companion. She's so casually blasted her away that it seemed like their might be some kind of animosity. That or she was a rather strict supervisor. It did not matter too much, but it seemed it was best not to get on this woman's bad side. " In that case I am able to directly interact with the spirit or soul of a person due to an item I gained on my travels. I channeled that enery through the blades of my gaunltets, which respond to magic power, and severed the spirit of your friend. Its a temporary effect for the most part, but its a non-lethal way to take someone down if used properly." He shrugged and looked at her with a slight grin revealing his favourite bit about the cerberus slayer magic "Besides its a great way to prepare an ingredient without actually damaging it."

He had told her what she wanted to know, but had kept back a lot of details about what the item was and how he used it and how he gained it. With luck it would satisfy her because he still felt hesitant revealing everything. "I am happy to try and satisfy any appetite. So if you're hungry let me know what you like and I can whip something up."

"Hmm so you really are a marvelous cook, but I'm not a big fan of the food in the current location, my little sister is more of the eat anything you feed her type." She grinned pouring herself another cup of whatever it was she was drinking. "In fact she eats things so quickly she doesn't even know she's eaten anything until she actually tastes what's left in her mouth." Taking another sip she formed another sword in her hand and returned to looking at Magna with her piercing red eyes. "I'm still curious, though I know what your strange soul magic can do I don't entirely know what it is, though you have already told me a lot." Her grin showed signs of being sinister as Magna seemed to have fallen right into her hands. "I don't blame you for being honest considering my take on liars, but you could have just said you couldn't tell me, that would have been honest as well considering the circumstance." She finished off her drink and stood back up the soul forged blade still in her left hand. "But seeing as I am not on orders I promise this will be our little secret, and in exchange for telling me something I'll share a little with you." She was now holding a second blade similar to the first yet shorter, the blade seemed to appear without any sort of notice. "This should be familiar to you, though do forgive me for being quite... indirect." She took up a fighting stance with Magna as the target, the blades flickered a bit revealing that the blades had changed from sharp to blunt as if she was attempting to avoid lethal attacks. "Skirmish dancing." She announced quietly as she sprung into action with a fighting style Magna himself should be familiar with, a fighting style based around speed an agility. Serria's eyes, her fighting style, her massive appetite all would fall into place. The fighting style was almost the exact same as Irina's yet faster, Irina was known for consuming things so quickly that it appeared as if it had just vanished, and Irina's same piercing red eyes were all shared by this white haired woman in armor.

The amount of information he'd revealed had been a little, but apparently it had been more than enough for this woman. Perhaps he should of just kept his mouth shut, but even if you knew what his magic was that didn't gurantee you knew how to defend against it or could work out how to. "Perhaps." was his only response as she said he could of said nothing. It was true it would of been honest, but in a way she had saved him from the other two even if that hadn't been what she intended to do.

"Skirmish dancing?" he replied with a quizzical tone but watched as she assumed a rather familiar stance and movement. Her eyes were identical to Irina's and her fighting style was the same, but faster. He had not heard Irina speak of her relatives, but it was possible that this was an older sister. He extended his own energy blades, but he channeled very little magic into them. The strikes would not be enough to damage heavily, but would be enough to cut the skin. In a way it was a more torturous routine, but he didn't have any other options except fighting with a frying pan and he didn't think that would be suitable.

He went on the defensive, but did not attack. He merely defended and then spoke. "Do you happen to know someone called Irina?" he asked curiously. He hoped it wasn't the wrong thing to say. The wrong word could trigger anger and hatred.

Serria's speed was never to be underestimated, Magna wouldn't even be prepared as she danced around him with ease. Her swords aimed to strike the back of his knees to incapacitate him. "Hmph I know of an Irina, an Irina Lumisia a brat of a little sister who always goes on about doing everything they can to purify filth." She stood behind Magna with her back turned as the blades flickered once more. "Oh but that's right you don't know of her by the name Lumisia no wonder you didn't see notice the resemblance in our last name." She turned back to Magna her eyes seemed to turn menacing. "She mingled too much with humans, she became soft and weak, disposing her would be too easy for me so likewise I declined to do it so they sent that trash named Storyteller." She took one thundering step towards Magna sending a shock of magic through the ground, the response was several massive spirals of red lightning erupting around the two. "Vengeance demands I kill her for the humiliation she caused me in front of father, but love demands that I embrace her as family. But I can't hope to even slightly feel good about getting vengeance if she is so weak in her current state." She held up the longer soul forged blade and aimed it directly at Magna as it flicked putting a rather sharp point in the tip, however the blade also shuddered in Serria's hand. "Listen, Withered Lotus wont be waiting much longer to strike I'll tell you that none of its members save for myself and one other use magic, they use something completely unheard of so be warned that they are unknown even to myself, they also have titles such as Edge, Quake, and Storyteller based off the letters of the alphabet." She turned away swiftly before she could reveal the tears dripping from her eyes, which seemed odd considering her menacing attitude a moment ago. "Make sure this information gets to your alliance, the next time we meet I wont use blunt weapons. And... please take care of baby Irina for me." She spoke quietly as she vanished in a flash of lightning only to reappear next to the unconscious pair a distance away to take them with her the next time she vanished in the same fashion.

The speed of movement was not something he was ready for. It was far faster than he was capable of and he wasn't exactly slow or unskilled. Yet despite the fact that he was unable to defend himself he did not show fear. He had faced situations like this before and if worst came to worse he could always pull out a few tricks, but it seemed that was unnecessary for he gained a lot of information and came off safe. The red lightning did startle him slightly, but he stood his ground. What confused him most was that as she turned away he detected the familiar scent of salt water. Was she crying? This woman was rather confusing, but it seemed she meant him no harm yet and had offered a lot of information.

"Family is important. More important than grudges or actions. I have no blood-related family left. I only have the guild. Think on that." he said before she vanished in her flash of rather flashy red lightning.

With that he quickly finished off what he came here to do grabbing some of the rats, some magmacaroni gratin and best of all a small amount of magma consomme. Enough that with a bit of study he reckoned he could replicate it and get a decent supply up and running. That was good. However, what was good and bad was the information he received. He had to worn the guild asap. As such he blasted off with his gaunlets at high speed heading straight back towards the guild in a rapid series of kinetic booms.
