Sabertooth in: Strange Happenings!

Luna let what Mashyuu and Itsu thought was flesh melt away from her arm to reveal a robotic arm in its place and Mashyuu chuckled under his breath. "Every hot chick I meet has something wrong with either their arm or eyes. Not that I'm complaining. It just seems odd. Didn't think the odds were that high." Itsu glared at Mashyuu for making a joke when everyone was putting in work against the giant before them, the three had barely survived the battle with the thing the first time but now it seemed to be back on its feet and just as powerful, even if Mashyuu had restored some of his magical power thanks to eating its first core, how was the group going to deal with this thing now? It didn't seem to matter as before even the magically enhanced Itsu could act, Luna raced forward and unleashed a flurry of attacks on the guardian, drawing strength from the monster all while evading harm of her own, then fell to the back of the group to claim she needed to take a rest to restore power. Mashyuu and Itsu exchanged looks with sly smiles on their faces. "No worries, you set em up, we will knock em down." Itsu assured Luna. It was true, Mashyuu and Itsu had learned long ago how to work together without saying a word.

Mashyuu's left arm reached forward and a bow of light that looked like a spider web formed in his hand. He pulled the bowstring back and took aim while a massive arrow formed in his fingers. Itsu ran and teleported, leaving an after image behind in her wake as the giant kicked out at it. She appeared on its shoulder and smashed her sparking elbow into the eye of the monster then vanished again just as Mashyuu released his magical arrow. "Sniper Elite!" He called out. The arrow whistled through the air and dug deep into the monsters chest then exploded, blowing the monster off its feet and into the back wall. The monster roared with rage and quickly got up. It didn't take long before it lifted its hands and made a move to attack. Mashyuu dropped his hand to the ground and shouted. "Itsu, lets finish him! Earth Gods Basilisk Wall!" A massive wall sprung up out of the ground to block the monster from striking down on Itsu. In turn she drew a deep breath to store power in her body then teleported above the monster. She winced, knowing her next attack would hurt her just as much as it hurt it. "Ghost Touch!" Her closed fist crushed down on the crown of the monsters head, cracking it and staggering the monster. As it stumbled around dazed and Itsu jumped off its skull to land at its feet, Mashyuu raced forward and swept his leg in a circle. The ground rumbled where Mashyuu's foot had passed, nearly knocking the giant down before the God Slayer shouted. "Earth Gods Molten Wave!" As he shouted, a massive tidal wave of magma spewed out of the ground and washed over the stone giant, melting him until he was nothing more. His remains smashed into the wall behind him, blowing it out to reveal the world behind him.

A cavern rested behind the walls and Mashyuu felt his magical power restored while his wounds were sealed up a great deal as well. Still he was bleeding from more wounds than he wanted to admit to. His glowing blue eyes glanced at Luna and he frowned. "Still hurt like me huh? Come here." He motioned for her to get close to him as he wasn't about to let either of them head into any danger with wounds, being as they could eat their element to restore magical power it wouldn't take long to be back to full power over all. When she would eventually get close he brushed a strand of black hair from her face gently and smiled at her. "Thanks for the help, couldn't have done it without you." He looked Luna in the eye deeply for a moment then let a wave of golden light flow off his body, changing his hair color in the process. The light moved off of him in waves while spreading over Luna as well, rapidly healing the pair completely. The light faded and Mashyuu looked back at the cavern leading deeper into the cave. "Shouldn't be much longer now. Lets finish this strange job..."

Knowing that there was something else at the end of this 'field trip' so to say, Luna had chosen the route of conserving her strength so that she could fight at her fullest against whatever awaited them. Plus, watching the tactics of Mashyuu and Itsu together along with how they worked together would lend to the next big battle if Luna's premonition was correct. And considering that they would have to deal with the Ringmaster eventually, it was a safe bet that the Ringmaster was what awaited them beyond this test. It was easy to read between the lines for someone so surprisingly learned as Luna.

"Every hot chick I meet has something wrong with either their arm or eyes. Not that I'm complaining. It just seems odd. Didn't think the odds were that high."

Nearly laughing in a trilling tone, the black-haired beauty grinned as she heard Mashyuu speak of how every hot chick he met having something front with their arm or eye, though at-least with Luna her mechanical/robotic arm started from just below the elbow. This unique item was something of her own craft and mechanical ingenuity over time, and now at the pinnacle of magic and technology had come to be known as Susanoo. Luna responded to Mashyuu's comment in lilting italian accent, "Heh... you should see the other guy, he got off much worse than a prosthetic arm from below the elbow down to the tips of my finger. Besides, I think that I'm better off now than I was before in all honesty. This arm has some pretty neat tricks like this."

Luna set back and captured the teamwork of Mashyuu and Itsu together, watching as Mashyuu began with releasing an arrow of light as itsu quickly dashed between the length of the giant's reach. Next, a massive earth wall sprung on the monster to fence it out from hitting Itsu, a great concerted defensive maneuver, while Itsu followed up with an attack that seemed to stun the guardian momentarily. The guardian was finished off by a wave of molten magma into it, revealing the opening behind it upon it's decease.  Luna had seen how they fought and now figured out how to join in their tactics and how to keep a sustained fight - she should only pull off one big attack per few moments rather than going all out. One thing was sure, Luna was sure that she would only reach new heights of power as she became a stronger mage.

"Still hurt like me huh? Come here."

After the battle was won, Luna slipped from her posture and levitated over until she was at Mashyuu's side, Luna seemed a bit scratched up from her conflict with the guardian previously, though it didn't look like it was anything life-threatening. She liked being around Mashyuu, she liked his warmth if anything else and he was a friend to her by now. They had shed blood together after-all. As Luna got close, she felt Mashyuu brush some of her midnight-hued hair from her face and watched him smile to her, responding with a warm smile. She could feel her wounds closing and her body being fully healed rapidly.

"Thanks for the help, couldn't have done it without you. Shouldn't be much longer now. Lets finish this strange job..."

Luna raised her hand in greeting to Itsu should the other girl approach the two of them. Luna felt that Mashyuu was getting a bit close to her, but she didn't mind it at all and actually preferred it. Mashyuu was a great guy and a great friend, Kenna was a lucky woman or so Luna would say. Maybe some day, she'd find someone to settle down with. Pushing such thoughts from her mind, the young woman focused on the task at hand. "I couldn't agree more, and it was my pleasure to do it. I'm glad to have made two good friends from Sabertooth, Mashyuu, and I mean that. Hopefully we can do something else like this in the future, well not the getting hurt part but working together as a team."

"I'm detecting something ahead via Allsehendes Auge, A woman... and a man that is trying to keep himself hidden. The woman... I believe she is dead and recently, the man.. he might have been with her. They are thirty meters or so up ahead, on the edge of my vision."

"Yeah, maybe a job that puts us on a beach and not in a cave that will murder death me." Mashyuu chuckled while Itsu joined the team. She smiled at the two and glanced back over her shoulder when Luna said something about two bodies off in the distance. Her eyes narrowed with annoyance. "I really want to end this thing already." Itsu chimed in. Mashyuu sniffed the air and his face twisted. "Lots of ash ahead too. The smell is being pushed down through a tunnel up above or something. Lets check it out." He said and broke away from the team then started to wander down the cavern. He came to a dead end that ran up to an opening in the roof of the cavern. Mashyuu flexed his forearms and a surfboard like structure of earth broke off the ground and started to levitate Itsu rushed to Mashyuu's side and jumped on the platform as it slowly raised up in case Luna wanted to get on the earthen platform.

Slowly the platform lifted up until the Sabertooth team was standing amidst hundreds of massive piles of ash, of course Mashyuu could smell it, how could anyone not? The piles were arranged in a circle easily five hundred meters around. The Slayer covered his nose and realized that the smell here was so strong that he couldn't even smell Itsu or Luna over the scent of ash. "Damn it, this is no good." He muttered under his breath while letting his glowing blue eyes glance around to get a better feel for the area. The sun high above put light on the glinting head of a woman, clearly the one that Luna had noticed earlier. She was in a black cloak that hid her body but the light reflected right into Mashyuu's eyes. Mashyuu walked over to the body and examined it with curious eyes. If Kenna were here she could help the poor soul but Mashyuu didn't have that power. "She is dead but the body isn't decomposing. Either this is a fresh kill, or some strange magic is in the work here."

Without warning a man wearing a black set of robes with a staff in his hand that had skulls set inside of it appeared in the middle of the group. He pulled down his hood to reveal long black hair and neatly trimmed facial hair. "Indeed, let me explain what is happening here. You are standing amid the dead and burnt homes of the village that once rested here.
That woman is dead, and you will all join her soon. Now try not to struggle to much." The man stated darkly. Mashyuu narrowed his eyes and was ready for battle as he spun around to face the man just as he cast a spell that launched spikes of ice up and towards the others quickly. Itsu sprang back into a back flip, narrowly avoiding the ice spike that rocketed out of a cross bow the man lifted towards her. In his other hand was a sword that looked like a rose thorn. He held a smile on his face as he launched another set of blasts, each one going for Luna and Mashyuu respectively. Mashyuu drew his blade that burst into bright light the moment it left the scabbard and exploded into a could of sand that stopped moving at the dark Wizards side. Mashyuu reformed and used the flat of the blade to smash into the back of the mans knees, knocking him over on the spot. "Earth Gods Combo: Part One!" Three pillars launched up out of the ground and dug into the mans back, lifting him up off the ground while injuring him enough that Mashyuu could bring his blade down across the mans chest. The Slayer swung his leg up and smashed it into the mans back, throwing his foe off the pillars.

Quickly the dark Wizard stood up and started to chant. He spread his arms and the field changed to a flat land to confuse the Wizards. "Spike Shot!" He called out and created a large spiked stone in the air that rocketed down to the Sabertooth Wizards. Mashyuu looked up and winced. It was simply to large to eat but he had a trick up his sleeve. "End!" He shouted, and snapped his fingers. The spike vanished, leaving the Wizards on the ground safely. While Mashyuu smirked at his foes poor choice of spell usage Itsu ran past him and did a baseball slide under the Dark Wizards legs. She threw her dagger up into his thigh to come out the other end and held the cord tight. The result was a yank that brought the man down to his knee. He slashed his weapon back to cut the wire in order to free himself of the weapon. The man stood up quickly and growled with rage. Mashyuu planted his hand on the ground and shouted. "Earth Gods Combo:
Part Two!" The earth split open and swallowed the man neck deep. Mashyuu pulled his hand back and let sand erupt from his right arm to form a wicked scythe. "Earth Gods Combo: Part Three!" In a burst of power, Mashyuu raced forward and dragged his weapon across the man's head, not killing him but the sand blade sapped the moisture in his foes body, weakening him greatly. Mashyuu spun around on his heels to face the man as the ground let the Dark Wizard free of its bind. But in that time Itsu had drawn a breath yet again and expelled it from her lungs, hitting her target from behind to send him soaring towards Luna. "LUNA! FINISH HIM!"

"Yeah, maybe a job that puts us on a beach and not in a cave that will murder death me."

"I really want to end this thing already."

The thought of a tropical beach, rest and relaxation rather than fight after fight as they had been experiencing, it was appealing to Luna to finally be freed from this hellish job. While the job hadn't exactly been easy, Luna found herself enjoying time spent Mashyuu and Itsu, a thought which brought a cheery grin to her beautiful features. She wouldn't give up the good memories even if she could lose those of nearly biting the dust against that first guardian. She smelled the awful ash and soot, as the lot of them made their way towards the center of where they would begin a final battle for it all. If Mashyuu, Itsu, and Luna couldn't pull together for that final victory when the curse would continue for who knew how long of a time and that was not a sin that Luna wished upon any of them. Luna stepped upon the earthen platfum when Mashyuu offered, traveling on it with the other two of the team. Soon, they approached the opening with the dead girl that Luna had sensed earlier via her ability. Now that she got a better look at her, magic seemed a far more likely culprit than being a fresh kill.

"She is dead but the body isn't decomposing. Either this is a fresh kill, or some strange magic is in the work here."

"There is magic at play here.... a lot of it." Luna remarked as she looked over to the male who stood aside the woman. The entire dome or formation, whatever one might call it, was oozing with magic. There was simply no other way around it, and it seemed to be linked in some way to Ice Magic. Not much else could be discerned without someone stronger in sensory. The male seemed ready to explain exactly what was going on here, and so she gave him the time to do so. It was evident before he spoke that he was the one controlling all the shots, from his posture to his body language. The confirmation from his own little rant was the final nail in the coffin, so to speak.

"Indeed, let me explain what is happening here. You are standing amid the dead and burnt homes of the village that once rested here. That woman is dead, and you will all join her soon. Now try not to struggle to much."

Luna watched as the surroundings changed, quickly moving to egress of the ice spikes which had just been launched - stepping off the platform and levitating into the air as she raised her right arm high and formed a set of black wings at her back that release into eight fully-sized black wings which would slam hard into the man - Luna's eyes glowing an emerald hue as she called upon bounds which were far beyond her own. Her arm never seemed to move as the green haze seemed to fall around her, joining with the aura of a black dragon surrounding her and codifying into the figure of a black dragon behind her and surrounding her. Black wings would batter him for b-rank damage each, roughly, then broke away into motes of darkness. Eventually, all of that energy would condense into an orb of pure power. This was at the same time that Mashyuu was battering him with earth and Itsu was doing what Itsu did. Luna couldn't move from her spot, but it seemed she didn't need to as the foe was beingknocked back into her direction.

"LUNA! FINISH HIM!"

Luna had no time but to release her attack now. Pushing both arms into the orb, it resembled dragons heads adhering to her hands as she leaped towards him with veracity. Luna's arms flew back and in a single massive push, slammed into his back with a mighty 'CRACK' as he was pushed high into the air resulting a massive explosion of black air pressure. He would feel as if he was tugged every way at once with the massive concussive force of the blow, and would be knocked to the edge of the dome by the blow's force. Of course, this move was above her scale and so would be a costly expenditure of mana, however it was worth pulling out to push this man to the brink, and Luna's mana would be replenished from his own reserves.

"SKY GOD SEMA CRACKERRR!"

The Olympians of Mashyuu and Itsu stood while taking in deep breaths of air to regain their wits while Luna finished the foe off, knocking him out of the sky to leave him near lifeless on the ground. Slowly he pulled himself up to his knees and a strange barrier emitted from out of him. Mashyuu raised a brow in confusion. "Mashyuu, how is he up?" Itsu asked with concern. The man started to chuckle. "Ya know, a child did the terrible things to this village. Whats worse is that the child wasn't even from here. No he was found and adopted by a former village chief. The thought makes me sick to my stomach." He muttered through bloody teeth and spat on the ground. "And what does that have to do with the Wizards who have come here and died?" The man stood up and pushed his hands out, ice fell off his palms to hit the ground. "Cryosphere!" A wave of energy pulsed all around them and Mashyuu twisted to kick Itsu as hard as he could in the chest, launching her backwards as a dome of ice enveloped everyone else. The aching cold hit Mashyuu harder than he wanted to admit, making him feel as if he were frozen solid from the effect. His blue eyes rolled back into his eyes and he shuddered. He swallowed hard and let out a breath of air, the fog that came off his breath seemed to freeze in mid air and fall to the ground. "Spike Shot!" he announced while Mashyuu was frozen, launching the spike at Luna. Then he twisted to face the freezing Mashyuu and charged with his weapon. Mashyuu barely lifted his sword in time to block a strike, then threw his leg up, the ache painful to the bone. His foot slammed into the groin of the man he was fighting, knocking him aside. "Light Dragon's Holy Shower!" He shouted and aimed his palm out at the man, hitting him in the face with burning light. "Earth Gods Explosive Field!" The Wizard shouted, and touched the ground. Under the Dark Wizard the ground exploded, blowing him up into the air and as the man landed the ground once again exploded. This went on once more, leaving the man laying on the ground and gasping for air. "Surrender and we....we can let you live." Mashyuu pleaded with the man. But the man instead lifted his crossbow and shot a blast off at both Mashyuu and Luna. Mashyuu stepped back barely in time to evade the ice.

Mashyuu growled with rage and grabbed the man by the leg and hoisted him high then slammed him hard into the ground as Mashyuu twisted and threw the Wizard over his shoulder to hit the ground. The man dropped his weapon from the impact of hitting the ground just before the brown haired Mashyuu drove his boot straight into the mans gut to send him rolling aside. The Wizard placed his sword backwards as it flared with energy and launched Mashyuu towards the dark one. "Kings Charge!" He shouted. Mashyuu stopped just before making contact and pointed the blade down to aim at the Wizard then let the weapon unleash the blast of energy that had built up inside the weapon. Mashyuu fell backwards and started to eat the ground while glancing at Luna to make sure she could manage fighting this guy before anything else happened. On the outside Itsu pulled her hand back and started to punch the dome of ice that had split the group up, slowly chipping at it. The entire time her dagger was chipping into the ice, cutting it and wearing it down in a minor way over all but eventually she would be able to rejoin the battle.

Some facet of this place was dead wrong, and the origin dealt with the fact that their foe was not lifelessly on the ground but rather reeling from the onslaught which he had received. Stray thread of silk brushed from the angled countenance, amber orbs examining the rugged features of the man from his short-cropped hair of midnight to the deer skinned leather of gaudy hue which seemed to consist of his outfit. Visibly, muscles tense behind the fabric of his garments as his body siezed as if to move in one way or another - body language which the sensual beauty Luna could detect without the need for eyesight. As the dome of ice formed around the lot of them in a protective shielding of some sort. Starting at the apex of her wing-bones at her back, the black wings of shadow arched high as the woman's angular form lay low, releasing into eight full wings which would slam against the glass as if shotgun blasts the size of a house cat. Rolling up form the side, the woman's body pushed up with all muscled as the arm shifted slightly and pulled from the shapely woman's body. Pushing off the grounds, her feet and finger-tips exerted themselves as Luna shot forth in a haze of black masquerade - blurring back into and out of view as she slammed an out-stretched arm into the ice dome; black excess gathering from the eaves of her lower portion and bursting forth in coils of black wing like rage. Finally, the shadowed wind slammed into the dome in the shape of a dragon while claws of wind rend into it, causing the dome to shatter and break in every which way.

At the same time, her body never stopped at the dome of ice. Luna's feet eased on as she pushed through the fragmented face of the dome - ice falling in shards all around but seemingly bouncing this way and that off her. The dragon-like form around her which was now inhabited by eight blackened wings, shot forth with eight fully-sized wings like a shotgun blast while the level arm yanked across hard and exerted itself upon the bloke's neck. A deep snap was heard, as he was thrown to the ground a second time. The entire charge came directly seconds after Mashyuu's King Charge, hoping to deal the final blow to him or at-least, for the foe to get serious.

Luna escaped the ice dome, carrying the man with her and then darted back down, smashing the man into the ground again causing him to bounce twice. With a groggy motion he pushed himself up again with a bit of amusement in his tone. "You are both very strong but I cannot be destroyed by such simple tactics." Mashyuu was panting heavily, his magical reserves were starting to dry up and his spell selection was running out until his spells came back to mind. He winced and gripped the blade firmly, knowing that it was dry on power at the moment to. He flipped it over in his palm and slipped it into the scabbard. His bow appeared in his left hand and he didn't give the Dark Wizard a chance to cast any more spells. Instead Mashyuu pulled his bowstring back and called out. "Hail of Arrows!" A cone like blast launched from Mashyuu's bow and smashed into the man, knocking him back again before he could cast a spell. Then Mashyuu raced forward, peppering the man with a few more weak blasts, keeping the Dark Wizard off balance. When he was close, Mashyuu pulled his right hand back and drove his fist up into the Dark Wizards Jaw as hard as he could. The man started to roll backwards and Mashyuu pulled his bowstring back again. "Sniper Elite!" He announced while a large arrow formed in his hand and erupted with energy, this time however the man managed to get a spell up..

Just as the arrow made contact with the Dark Wizard, the blast was partially reflected and blown back into Mashyuu, knocking him for a loop that drew blood from the Wizards body in multiple spots. Mashyuu wasn't about to fall though, not when he had friends to keep safe. "Keep me safe.... Quicksilver, Lightning Leap!" Mashyuu activated the magic of his clothes and his body changed to a flexible metal while he himself transformed into a bolt of lightning that smashed into the Wizard, hitting him hard in chest and sent him through his own dome where Itsu had been standing, rocketing past her only to have him land behind the woman. Itsu screamed with shock and ran around the dome to evade whatever would come out of the place next. Mashyuu stalked closer to the man. "Soul Burial!" The man said while on the ground, creating a blue field around the entire area, suddenly knives blotted out the sky and smashed into all three Sabertooth Wizards, unavoidable, digging deep into everyone. If not for the fact that Mashyuu had his armor up he would have surely died. Blood poured out of his wounds as his eyes whited out and he fell to his knees, then face, barely drawing breath. Still a greater power beat in his chest and was slowly coming to life...

Hundreds rained down like hot lead, burning at the pristine manilla skin of Luna without abandon, all the while, twelve wings burst into their formation like a shotgun going off, ending the rain as soon as it started. It wasn't as if it could stop this iteration, the woman was nearly down for the count with that volley - and wouldn't be standing if not for her own natural armor thanks to the golden and dark metal arm which she bolstered on her lower arm.

Pure adrenaline and metal was all that was keeping the lass up on her toes, by this point of the exuberant battle that was raging, much like Mashyuu running near purely on an empty tank; She had enough to end this stage of their ongoing tirade and that would be it. Regardless, it would end now, drawing the third portion of this never-ending duel to a close. Noting the amusement ringing in the tone of the gent, the beautiful woman of midnight silken hair and amber eyes responded, "My energy and by that measure time may be running out, however I'll always have time to defeat evil when I am in it's presence. I will always rise up again no matter how many times I am knocked down and, well, it's time to end this!

Muscled flinched as space formed between the gent and herself, not just in the widening gap but also between herself and the ground. with a widening list of spells she could not recall, Luna instead chose a classic to put him down. As they were just separating, another shotgun blast of eight wings shot into him from point-blank, then as her form gained ascent, it closed back down in a powerful wheel kick to the cranium of the fellow. All the while, the black energy surged again into a dragon, rending into him as she kicked him down to literally face dirt. "Sky God Crash!

Strangely, the woman who had been dead was now rousing to a stir, blue mist coming forth and healing the lot of them together. With this new aid, new mana to be shaped and used, however they saw fit. Mashyuu would now find a new sword in his hand with the rolling of the blue mist. With the new resurgence of mana, and with watching the gent summon forth Lay Siege, her next action was a clear one. with full mana, Luna summoned from the heavens and cast a bubble of sheer darkness around them in a thirty-meter range. for the three sabertooths it seemed light as day, but for all others sight was obscured. This wasn't the only purpose, as wind began to rend through the shadows and promised to do so again each concurrent rotation. "Wail of the Banshee!"

"Do it now, Mashyuu!"

Mashyuu was out cold while Luna did her best to defend the downed Wizard. He could hear the Goddess inside him calling out, willing him to get up or surrender control of the body to her. All the while the scabbard on Mashyuu's hip lit up and started to seal Mashyuu's wounds slowly. The man slowly opened his eyes to see the woman who was once dead change to smoke and heal everyone in the area. Mashyuu drew a deep breath of fresh air and sprang up quickly. In his hand was a beautiful blade that glistened with power. "Mashyuu that... its a blade of God like power. You must put all of your energy into the weapon and rip through the barrier that now surrounds the Dark Wizard. The blade can destroy just about anything in the world but it can only be used once." The Goddess that was teaching Mashyuu magic spoke in his soul. "Ladies! I need you to keep me safe for a bit!" He shouted. Without hesitation, Itsu was at Mashyuu's side arms up to block while she took hit after hit against the shadow magic the Dark Wizard was using. Each strike nearly knocked Itsu over from the resulting blows. Mashyuu watched as his friends took a beating in order to keep him up and charging the weapon. Once it was ready the blade pulsed, quaking in Mashyuu's hands and he knew it was time. "Get away! Luna, Itsu get far away from here!" Mashyuu ordered and raised his weapon up high while getting ready to attack.

Mashyuu aimed the weapon and charged hard. Shadows moved in to strike him but before they could do any harm Mashyuu activated his Quicksilver armor and caused the shadows to explode. When Mashyuu reached the force field he drove the blade forward hard. "Destiny Crush!" The blade caused him to announce. The sharp weapon ripped through the barriers and dug into the chest of the Dark Wizard. Blood seeped through the blade and ran down his chest. The man went wide eyed and Mashyuu knew he had taken the life of this man, not the first death he had caused but for sure one that needed to happen. This man, if left alive would have killed countless others. The sword sapped all of Mashyuu's mana and almost all his life then exploded, ripping the man apart and dropping Mashyuu to a knee, nearly crippled from the pain. Mashyuu's lip quivered from the sudden pain while he drew shallow breaths. His body lit up with golden power to start to sooth his wounds. Mashyuu pulled himself up and noticed the field had changed back to the village that it once was. They were standing in the village, alive and vibrant with people who looked happy until a single hut was set ablaze and the boy that the Dark Wizard was talking about walked out of the village with a single loaf of bread in his mouth, the entire village slowly burning to the ground.

The ruby in Mashyuu's pocket floated into the air and moved to a burned down hut. Itsu followed it and started to dig around the area until she found two boxes. She set one aside for Luna and opened the other to reveal a tomb of magical power and a weapon. "Here Mashyuu you should take this book. I want the weapon." Itsu claimed and picked the sword up happily. "Well guys, looks like a job well done. Lets get home and tell the guild what was happening here."
